Chapter 118: Private Part
Ma Chao has half Qiang blood and has a high prestige among the Qiang people, and many Qiang warriors have followed Ma Chao from birth to death, becoming the loyal personal tribe of the Ma family. With the passage of time, the Qiang tribes who followed Ma Chao to fight for the world eventually died of old age, but their descendants stayed and became the backbone of the Ma family's tribes. Ah Jian is one of the representatives, and it is precisely because of his strong and excellent martial arts skills that Princess Ma chose him to be Liu Yin's personal bodyguard. Although there are not too many top masters like Ah Jian, the overall strength of these Qiang guards is much higher than that of the Yulin Army.
The private family of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to private property, the status is equivalent to slaves and maids, and there is no personal freedom, not only their generation, but even their children and grandchildren are also slaves and maids of the master's family, and this is the case for generations, born as a person of the master's family, and died as a ghost of the master's family.
Sounds very scary, when Liu Yin first arrived in the Three Kingdoms, he also felt that this system was very unreasonable, but after a long time, he realized that what equality and freedom are the concepts of later generations, and in this era, life is always more important than freedom. As a slave of the master's family, at least he can ensure that he has two meals a day without worrying about food and clothing, but those free ordinary people are always struggling to survive on the line of hunger, and many people want to sell themselves as slaves.
What's more, how those slave owners squeeze slaves and persecute slaves, it is even more nonsense, although there are individual extreme cases, but in general, the master family does not have an oppression and bullying of slaves, the master provides food and clothing to the slaves, and the slaves provide services to the master's family, the two are completely harmonious, most of the wealthy families are extremely tolerant of slaves, and regard them as members of the family. That's probably what it means.
After all, this is the capital of their lives, and the quality of personnel, training conditions and treatment of private troops are also better than those of the regular army. The hearts of the people are exchanged for the hearts of the people, and it is precisely because the scholars are willing to spend a lot of money and effort on cultivating private soldiers, so that they have a loyal army that sacrifices their lives to savior when they are in danger, and the soldiers die for their confidants, in a sense, these private soldiers are dead soldiers.
In addition to the Qiang tribe, there are other private soldiers in the Anping Palace, and in peacetime, these private soldiers are the guardians. Princess Ma has already let go, and the private soldiers of the two mansions are all selected by Liu Yin at will. Liu Yin naturally doesn't need to be polite, the old and weak don't need to be used, all the people selected are strong people, and the soldiers are not many but fine, especially in the Yinping Trail, where the mountains and mountains are fighting, and the physical strength is almost exhausted just by climbing the mountain, let alone fighting.
Liu Yin probably picked more than 500 people, although it feels a little less, but this is also the Anping Palace, and if you change to other scholars, you may not be able to have so many private soldiers, not to mention that Liu Yin only picks strong people, and the average scholar family really doesn't have this background.
Private soldiers are singled out, but the formation of combat effectiveness has to be reorganized, and the usual guards and guards are different, this time it is necessary to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, since Ma Chao died, the Ma family's troops have rarely participated in the war again, those who have fought in the older generation have gradually aged and passed away, and the new generation has hardly experienced the baptism of the battlefield.
This is undoubtedly what Liu Yin is most worried about, if you talk about the quality of individual soldiers, the Ma family's private soldiers are not inferior to the regular army at all, the only thing lacking is combat experience. Similarly, Liu Yin himself has no combat experience on the battlefield of cold weapons, and he is about to fight against the famous general Deng Ai, who has experienced a hundred battles, what are the odds of victory or defeat, Liu Yin really has no bottom in his heart.
But now it's just to catch the ducks on the shelves, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to go if you have the conditions, and you have to go on it if you don't have the conditions to create the conditions!
Liu Yin gathered all the selected private soldiers from the two prefectures to the Majia Manor at the foot of Xiling, and reorganized and trained them according to the establishment of the army, according to the army, according to the army, according to the army, according to the army
Fu Zhi's two sons, Fu Zhi and Fu Zhao learned that their brother-in-law was going to the front line, so they ran to defect, Fu Zhi just reached the crown this year, and Fu Zhao was only eighteen years old, because of their age, they did not follow their father to the front line of Yang'an Pass, but stayed at home in Chengdu, the brothers also practiced martial arts since childhood, determined to serve the country and kill the enemy, this time there was finally a chance to go to the front, so they came to beg Liu Yin.
Liu Yin was not polite to the two brothers-in-law, fighting tiger brothers, going into battle with father and son, and at a critical time, he had to look at his own family, so he arranged for Fu Zhu and Fu Zhao to be the commander of the tun, and commanded a tun of men and horses respectively.
Of course, Fu Zhu and Fu Zhao did not go alone, they also brought dozens of family soldiers. The Fu family is not a wealthy family in Chengdu, and the background is naturally not as good as that of the Anping Mansion and the Ma family. However, for Liu Yin, who is in dire need of manpower, mosquito legs are also meat, so he naturally laughed unceremoniously.
The individual combat ability of these private soldiers is extremely strong, and Liu Yin will not engage in this training, not to mention that it is too late in time, Liu Yin only pays attention to the overall run-in of the team, and transfers them from the guerrillas to an organic whole, obeys the command, and advances and retreats together, which is Liu Yin's most basic requirement. The reason why the regular army is strong in combat is not because of the strong combat capability of individuals, but because it has an overall sense of combat and the spirit of coordination and cooperation.
But this kind of combat concept is not something that can be completed overnight, so it is useless for Liu Yin to be in a hurry, maybe only under the tempering of real war, it is possible for them to grow quickly.
In addition to the run-in training, it is the use of gunpowder arrows, bamboo grenades and stone mines, these firearms are a great gift that Liu Yin carefully prepared for Deng Ai, Liu Yin requires every private soldier to correctly master and use these firearms, these weapons are huge, if they cannot be used correctly, not only can not hurt the enemy, but also may rely on self-injury.
However, it is advantageous that these firearms are relatively simple, with gunpowder arrows adding an additional ignition fuse than ordinary arrows, and throwing bamboo grenades is not much different from throwing stones. As for stone mines, Liu Yin was not prepared for all of them to master them, so he specially ordered a team of people to be responsible for learning the planting and detonation of mines.
After a few days of training, the privates quickly mastered the essentials of using firearms.
