Chapter 162: Liwei (II)

Zhang Yu hurried to Huachi Town, and Wang Ju had already gone to Liyuan Fort. Liyuan Fort is a place where Huachi County is heavily armed, and there are two battalions of Zhenwu soldiers. It is also the Zhenwu Army, but it is not a battalion of troops, but Wang Ju and the Zhenwu Army have had a holiday, which makes Zhang Yu even more worried.

So he hurriedly rode his horse and rushed to Liyuan Fort.

When I arrived at Liyuan Fort, I saw a sea of people outside the fort, gathered countless soldiers, strong men, and strong horses.

Zhang Yu's head exploded, and he hurriedly squeezed in and asked.

A veteran told him: "Manager Zhang, Wang Zhixian and Yao are on a military parade." ”

"Military parade?"

"Well, you mean let's practice and let this Xinzhi County take a look."

"That's good," Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and found Wang Ju and Yao Ji in the crowd.

Wang Ju was watching with Yao Ji, one saw the officers and soldiers, including the battalion of the fallen army, the second looked at the strongmen, and then looked at their archery skills, sticks, knives and guns.

"There are so few military horses?"

"Gyeongju is mostly a Liangshan area, lacking a flat valley and land, and it is not easy to raise horses, so the number of horses of the Fan people is not large, and even if there is, there are many Fan people who make profits, and use it in exchange for the things that the tribe needs." Yao replied.

Not only the people of Gyeongju, but also the number of horses on the Western Xia side are not large.

There are many, but almost all the people in Western Xia are soldiers, and there is no shortage of war horses in their hands. Moreover, although the Hetao is flat, the water and soil have deteriorated further since the end of the Tang Dynasty, which is not conducive to the grazing of cattle and horses. If the Western Xia does not establish a country and does not set up so many troops, then the war horses are enough, and even redundant, just like the five dynasties, they sacrifice war horses to the Central Plains every year to ask for rewards, and once let the Central Plains Dynasty prohibit this kind of sacrifice of horses. However, with the establishment of the country, the number of horses also became tight. When the Qingli War broke out, Yuan Hao had to use green salt to trade a large number of horses to various tribes in Jiashan of the Liao State in order to support more cavalry and exchange scarce materials with private merchants in the Song Dynasty. One is "export", and the other is to keep it for yourself.

Wang Ju frowned.

He didn't come blindly, and before he arrived, he had a series of plans, including horses.

But the people of Gyeongju are short of horses, so it is a bit difficult to do.

However, Wang Ju remained silent on the surface and continued to watch.

It should be said that Yao Ji was stationed in Liyuan Fort, and he did a better job in terms of military training alone. Zhang Yu in the rear is also not simple, coupled with the arrival of the clinic, as well as the good foundation laid by Fan Zhongyan among the Tibetan people, this is the reason for the victory of Dashun City in the future.

But these soldiers still could not satisfy Wang Ju.

The worst is the two battalions of the forbidden army, which is really bad, almost miserable, and there are many crossbowmen who are not even satisfied with the arrows and crossbows, not to mention the accurate head. The second is the Baojie Army, but the Baojie Army is a little better than the Forbidden Army. The best thing about the table is Fanluo, but what makes Wang Ju feel pity is that the number of cavalry among them is too small, and a battalion of Fanluo is about less than 400 people. Whether there is an empty salary, Wang Ju doesn't think much about asking, at least not now, but in this army, only more than 200 people have horses.

Then he thought of the majestic posture of the Tibetan army in Di Qing's Kunlun Pass victory, perhaps Di Qing deliberately selected it. Normally, the Lost Army would not be so strong.

Seeing Wang Ju looking at the two forbidden armies with dissatisfaction, Yao Ji explained: "These two battalions of forbidden armies, I deliberately let them practice, and the forbidden armies in other places will be worse." ”

Wang Ju nodded.

Just like the battle of Heiaoling, the wealth was moving, but he was ambushed and sniped by himself, and the black bee thieves soon collapsed.

He continued to look at the appearance of the Fan Luojun and the strongman.

The individual is still good, and some people have good riding skills and excellent archery skills. However, there is a lack of cooperation overall.

Wang Ju felt funny, the three countries of Song Liaoxia were defeated, it was such a group of rabble, and they actually repelled Li Liangzuo's 100,000 army. Of course, the Song Liao army did not get any better. It is no wonder that as soon as the Jin people rose in front, they quickly annihilated the Liao State and let the Northern Song Dynasty perish.

At this time, Zhang Yu also squeezed over.

"Manager Zhang, why are you here?"

"Wang Zhixian, what are you doing?"

"Inspect the various armies in Huachi, and I have a bottom in my heart."

"On a hot day, aren't you afraid that they will be disgusted?"

"If you gather and review, you can be disgusted, why does the imperial court raise so many troops? They are soldiers, not husbands, and they have to be coaxed. ”

"Bian Jing is mainly quiet."

"Does Manager Zhang really think so in his heart?" Wang Juying smiled and asked, Sun Changqing can think like this, you can't think like this.

Zhang Yu had no choice but to say: "You don't want to stir up anything bad." ”

"Manager Zhang, I asked Sun Gong for the right to train soldiers, but I have my own way of doing things," Wang Ju felt funny in his heart, thinking to himself, my future opponents are Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Cai Jing and others, if I can't pass this hurdle now, let's prepare to retreat before Hangzhou.

He also said: "The way of governing the country and the army is the same, using both grace and power, invigorating military discipline with prestige, and collecting the hearts of the army with grace." Manager Zhang, have you seen Zeng Xianggong's "General Essentials of the Martial Arts"? ”

Zhang Yu shook his head.

"You should take a look at it another day, and there are some laws written in it that reward and punish marching and restraining them."

There are some lessons to be learned from this book, but we can't believe all of them. For example, in the volume of the military march, some methods to quench thirst and hunger in a harsh environment are recorded, and some are still good.

But some of them are inexplicable, the rice is dusted, steamed and exposed, this can also be understood, the fried rice of later generations, but it must be steamed and exposed ten times, Wang Ju can't figure it out. Also, in the case of extreme shortage of grain, use a foot of coarse cloth, soak it in a liter of vinegar, expose it to drying, cook it again with square inches, eat it with vinegar, and one foot of coarse cloth can be eaten for 50 days. Wang Julei is born, there is such a situation, for example, during the Long March, eating grass roots, bark, and belts, but at this point, can the Song army still be formed, it has already surrendered. Dare to love Zeng Gongliang thought that the Song army was the Red Army.

Furthermore, it is said that one liter of rice can eat for a day, and a cow or horse can feed fifty people for a day. This liter of rice is not millet, and millet is lighter, so how much does it weigh? This in turn involves another confusing unit of measurement in the Song Dynasty, Hu and Shi. One stone is not ten buckets, it is the weight, if it is calculated in meters, it is only more than seven stones, less than eight stones. One bucket is ten buckets, one bucket is ten liters, and one liter of rice is less than one catty and three taels.

The food of the Song army was relatively poor, lacking meat oil, and the amount of food was large, especially in the march that Zeng Gongliang said, the body consumption was large and the amount of food was larger. So can you eat for a day? Wrong, in fact, the standard answer is two liters.

Then when it came to this cow and horse, more than a pound of rice a day was enough, and the meat was fuller than rice. A cow or horse, no matter how small it is, can take about 300 catties of meat. One pound of rice is full, but when it comes to meat, it is seven or eight pounds of meat to be full, what is the reason?

But you can also take a look, and even Wang Ju plans to finish reading it himself, and give this book to Yao Ji as well. But it should be inked in moderation, such as this rice and meat......

Zhang Yu didn't know, it turned out to be a book written by Zeng Xianggong, so it probably wouldn't be wrong.

After the group appeared, including the commanders, they all went up to appear, and there were also good ones, Wang Juyi remembered them one by one, the surface was silent, walked to the front, and looked at the black crowd, many people, more than 1,000 forbidden soldiers, more than 2,000 strongmen, strong horses, and a few strongmen did not arrive, but most of them arrived.

Wang Ju said: "In order to support you, the imperial court has taken out two-thirds of its income, and how many poor families have gone bankrupt for you, but what kind of rabble is being raised by this official. ”

Originally, the hot day was gathered together, everyone was not happy, this question, the following immediately made trouble, especially those strong people, I did not rely on your court to feed, as for taxes, do you dare to levy them?

Wang Ju waved his hand and said: "Don't be unconvinced, I will push out a person, that is, him, Li Sangou, is an ordinary villager in the small village where the official's hometown is located, let him show you, and see how big the gap between you and an ordinary villager is." ”

Yao Ji wants to cover his face, he is an ordinary villager, isn't this bullying people?

Zhang Yu also wanted to cover his face.

But you don't know, okay, let's see how good the ordinary villagers in your small village are.

Wang Ju took a bow and handed it to Li Sangou.

Li Sangou pulled it away hard, and the bow snapped.

There was an uproar at this moment, what Li Sangou pulled off was not the mulberry bow in the hands of the common people, but the standard bow, how much effort does this have?

Wang Ju asked a ten-year general behind him: "There is a strong bow in the fort." ”

"Yes, the bow in Yao's hand is a strong bow, and it is said that it takes nearly three stones of strength to pull it up."

"That's it," Wang Ju asked Yao for a bow.

Some people are very worried, they all know Yao Ji's big bow, except for Yao Ji in the village, almost no second person can pull it away, and the soldiers are not satisfied.

Yao Ji knew in his heart, it was strange that he couldn't pull it away, so he asked the soldiers to enter the fort and bring the special black lacquer bow and hand it over to Li Sangou, who bent the bow and shot ten arrows in a row. I don't want to see my head, even if I shoot ten arrows in a row with this big bow at such a fast speed, it is not a human job.

And the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Thousands of people were dumbfounded together, and the villagers who came with such a cow?

Li Sangou asked a fan for another war horse, mounted the horse, and shot arrows while galloping, this time slightly off, but five arrows hit the bull's-eye.

He got off the horse, came to Wang Ju's side and said ashamedly: "I haven't ridden for many years, and my head has dropped." ”

But everyone was silent together, and when the people close heard this, they burst into tears, they hadn't ridden a horse for many years, and there was this riding skill and this quasi-head, so what kind of quasi-head would there be before?

Wang Ju said again: "Or you will think that he is an exception, but what about this official, this official used to be a cuo da (poor and sour scholar), even this year is only eighteen years old, and he is a civilian official, and he has not participated in any military training. But you are not as good as me! ”

Wang Ju said, and asked the soldiers to bring a black lacquer bow, of course it was not Yao Ji's big bow, it was not Liwei, it was boring for himself.

With a bow and arrow, Wang Ju came to the middle field, everyone was very nervous together, if a scholar and literati were allowed to compare, it would be even more self-conscious, and Wang Ju's delicate face also made everyone ignore his relatively strong body.

Zhang Yu understands a little, but there are still many things that he has not understood.
