Chapter 42: Seven Forbiddens and Fifty-Four Slashes
(Thank you for the reward of the Heavenly Sword, thank you!) )
Li Jing's words boosted morale, and he was about to order the training to begin, but he saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising, and more than ten horsemen were coming straight to Li Jing and others.
Lin Wu, the deputy team leader, took the lead to greet him, and then quickly ran back.
"The head of the team, Song Du Yuhou and Coach Lin, Coach Wang and Song Shi of Wendeng Camp came to inspect, accompanied by Wang Jiangtou and Zhang Yuhou on the left." Lin Wu was full of smiles, and in one breath, he reported his identity to Li Jing.
Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, not to mention that Wang Chong and Zhang Hong, who accompanied him, were their direct bosses. As for Zhang Duyu Marquis and the two coaches and Song Shijiang, they are all several top figures in the Dengzhou Unity Camp.
There are four battalions under the Dengzhou United Army, each named after the name of the county. The commander of each battalion is ten generals, and there are five left and right commanders, and two teams for each battalion. Wendeng camp 1,000 people, for the ten generals Song Xi under the command, under the left and right five capitals, each set up a general, Wang Chong is the left one of the heads, commanding 100 people. And Li Jing's first team is the first team of the two teams under the command of Wang Chongzuo.
Wang Zhong and Song Xi are Li Jing's direct bosses, but Zhang Duyuhou and Lin and Wang's two coaches are even bigger.
In the late Tang Dynasty, whether it was in the forbidden army, the government army of the feudal town or the border town soldiers, as well as the soldiers of the counties and counties of the county or the unity of the army, all of them had the post of Marquis Yu. At the army and town level, there are Du Yu Marquis, at the battalion level, there are General Yu Marquis, and then until the Du level, there are Yu Marquis.
Regarding the duties of the official position of Marquis Yu, it is clearly written: The post is to assassinate and commit adultery, and the authority belongs to the whole brigade. The advance and retreat of the Qi military order, and the hiding of the lawyer. This sentence points out that the greatest duty of Marquis Yu is to enforce the law in the army, rectify military discipline in peacetime, and supervise the war in wartime. And Yu Hou is not only in the army to enforce the law, they are also in charge of the army. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Marquis of Yu and the Marquis of Yu were important military positions, which were generally held by the cronies of the envoys of the feudal towns.
In the Dengzhou Unity Battalion, the highest position is the regimental training envoy, which is concurrently held by the Dengzhou Assassin Shi. Further down, Governor Shi Fengyanqing concurrently served as the deputy envoy of the regimental training.
However, in terms of actual control, the actual master of the Dengzhou Unity Battalion was in the hands of the Marquis of Du Yu and the four battalions and ten generals appointed and dismissed by the Marshal of Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu. Among the five subordinate officers, Song Wen was above the ten generals of the four battalions and became the de facto principal of the Dengzhou battalion.
As for the two coaches, although the position is not high, the position is very important. The Dengzhou Unity Soldiers gathered in Penglai for January was not really training. The real purpose of their assembly in Penglai was only to carry out a roll call and reorganization, and arrange the list of officers of each battalion and even each team from above. The appointment and dismissal of officers at the battalion level is basically decided by the commander's office of the commander of the festival, but the appointment and dismissal of officers at the capital and team levels is evaluated by the two instructors.
Li Jing had not met Song Wen and Song Xi and other four ten generals before, and when he entered the city, these five chief officials had not yet arrived from Qingzhou. He didn't expect that Song Wen and the others would rush to Penglai so quickly, and as soon as they arrived in Penglai, they actually arrived at their first team first.
"Li Jing, the leader of the first team of the left first capital of the lowly Wendeng camp, met with Song Du Yuhou, met with Coach Wang, Coach Lin, met with Song Shijiang, and met Wang Jiangtou and Zhang Yuhou!" Li Jing stepped forward quickly and greeted Song Wen and the others respectfully.
Suddenly a large group of bosses arrived, and Li Jing was indeed a little scared. Although he is a protégé of Thorn Shi and Sima, Song Wen is the confidant of the Jiedu Envoy, and he is also the Marquis of Du Yu of the Dengzhou United Army, as the actual director of the Dengzhou battalion, whether the other party buys the account of Thorn Shi is still two words, not to mention his little protégé.
Surprisingly, Song Wen was very young, and Li Jing was a little surprised by his youth. Song Wen is six feet tall, about the same as Li Jing, but he is very dark and thin. To Li Jing, Song Wen seems to be a skeleton, and his age is very young, Li Jing guesses that he is at most twenty-seven or eighteen. But his skinny figure and several scars on his face make people feel like they don't dare to look at it directly.
Song Wen's eyes were very sharp, he looked at Li Jing on the horse for about half an hour, and when he saw that Li Jing had a feeling of unease, he turned over and dismounted, and personally stepped forward to help Li Jing up.
Li Jing and Song Wei's hands were clasped together, and they felt that they were very rough and calloused hands. His hand was very powerful, and Li Jing could feel a huge force coming from his hand.
"You're Li Jing? It's more like a scholar. Song Wen smiled, but when he laughed, the few scars on his thin face were even more terrifying. From afar, I saw that you seemed to be speaking just now, what did you say? ”
Li Jing replied respectfully: "There are still two days left for the camp, and our team has no task for the time being. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to conduct an assessment and training for the whole team, find out the bottom, and then organize according to the strengths and weaknesses of each person, and select the outstanding ones as the chief and deputy captains, as well as the chief and deputy captains. ”
Song Wen smiled noncommittally, "After the camp opens, the camp will also start this matter as soon as possible, but you can take the first step instead of waiting, which shows that you are very motivated." Yes, it just so happens that this official just arrived in Penglai today, and he entered the camp for the first time, so let's take a look at your team's assessment and training first, you don't have to worry about us, let's do it according to your plan, I'll just wait here to watch. ”
"I also ask the Marquis of Song Duyu to give two sentences to the brothers, so that the brothers can also feel the admonition of Shangguan!"
Song Wen looked at Li Jing and smiled, and Li Jing was a little hairy when he laughed. For this new Shangguan, Li Jing always has a feeling that he can't see through it. Saying that he is young, he is indeed young, that is, less than thirty. But the many scars on his face are obviously scars from the battlefield. In addition, I heard that he was Song Wei's kindred and confidant, and thinking that Song Wei was a general who had fought many big battles with Nanzhao in Southern Xinjiang, then Song Wen was definitely not an idle person. However, he does not have the sense of domineering of a military general, so Li Jing always can't guess his thoughts.
"Just now I took a closer look at your queue, and if you consider that you were still farmers in the fields in the countryside ten days ago, then your queue is still very neat and very good. It can be said that even the queue of recruits for the Divine Forbidden Army may not be like this. ”
Hearing this, the recruits below were a little excited, it was not easy to get such a big official to praise them in person.
"Do you feel very happy to hear this official's words, and even a little proud?" Song Wen smiled, laughing more ugly than crying.
Li Jing always felt that something was wrong when he heard this, and sure enough, Song Wen's tone immediately became stern.
"You are wrong, although you may be stronger than the mud legs in the field, but that's all. Compared with the veterans who really survived the sea of blood in the sword mountain, you are just a pile of scum, and you are not even as good as the scum. With the way you are now, if you go to southern Xinjiang to fight with the Nanzhao people, Lao Tzu will bet that none of you will want to come back alive. ”
"War is not child's play, don't think that you are just a unity battalion and will not go to the battlefield, tell you, now there are bandits and bandits swarming everywhere, Lao Tzu will tell you the truth. Maybe in March, maybe in half a year, you may be pulled into the battlefield. Whether it is a bandit in the mountains and forests, or a frontier battle, even if it is a group of veterans, the probability of dying under the swords, guns and arrows is very huge. If you want to ask if there is a chance to improve survival, then Lao Tzu can tell you, that is, while the guy who eats now is still stored in your neck, train hard, only in this way, you may have a chance of living in the future. ”
"Don't talk about Lao Tzu, since he has entered the barracks, Lao Tzu is now the Marquis of Du Yu who is in charge of law enforcement in the army, so I will say a few words about it now. That is, from now on, the Dengzhou Unity Battalion will implement the seven prohibitions and fifty-four military orders, and anyone who dares to violate the military orders will be executed according to the law. ”
"Listen, seven prohibitions: light army, slow army, thief army, bullying army, betraying army, chaotic army, and mistaken army; Anyone who violates this prohibition shall be beheaded. ”
"Anyone who commits the following 54 articles shall be beheaded immediately: 1. Whoever hears the drum does not advance, hears the gold and does not stop, cannot raise the flag, and does not press the flag, this is called rebellion against the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Two: The name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not violated, and the law of the division is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Three: Spread the battle at night, neglect and do not report, and even more disobey, the voice is unknown, this is called slacking the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Four: complain more, anger its main general, do not listen to constraints, and teach it to be difficult to control, this is called building an army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Five: Raise your voice and laugh, defy the forbidden contract, and rush through the military gate, this is called a light army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Six: The weapons used, bows and crossbows, arrows without feathers, swords and halberds are unfavorable, and the banner is withered, which is called bullying the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Seven: Rumors and sophistry, fabricating ghosts and gods, pretending to dreams, wanton heresies, and demagogizing sergeants, this is called a prostitute army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Eight: A good tongue and sharp teeth, acting in vain, and assigning sergeants to make them discordant, this is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Nine: Wherever he goes, he abuses his people, and if he persecutes a woman, it is called an adulterer, and the offender is beheaded."
"Ten: Stealing people's property, thinking of one's own interests, taking people's heads, thinking of one's own merits, this is called stealing the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Eleven: The army and the people gather to discuss matters, enter the tent privately, and listen to the military aircraft, which is called visiting the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Twelve: Hearing what is planned, and hearing the order, leaking it out, so that the enemy will know it, this is called betraying the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Thirteen: When calling, the tongue should not be stammered, the eyebrows should be bowed, and the face is difficult, this is called a ruthless army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Fourteen: Out of the army, in front of the post, in the front and behind, noisy words, do not obey the forbidden training, this is called a chaotic army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Fifteen: Excuse the wound to avoid the expedition, pinch the wound and fake the death, so as to escape, this is called a fraudulent army, and the offender will be beheaded."
"Sixteen: The lord is in charge of money and food, and when he gives rewards, he is a private relative, and the soldiers are grudges, which is called a bad army, and the offender is beheaded."
"Seventeen: Watching the thief is not tried, the thief is unknown, and he doesn't say anything, if he says more, he will say less, and if he says less, he will say more, which is called a mistake in the army, and the offender will be beheaded."
A series of chopping words, every time a chopping word was spoken, the faces of the soldiers of the first team couldn't help but turn white. When Song Wen finished announcing the fifty-four beheadings in one go, Li Jing even smelled a smell of urine, and some people were actually scared to pee by this extremely strict military order.
