Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 700 Training and Promotion of Officers

For the next two days, Su Chen spent in the barracks.

He was dressed in a military uniform and held a long-handled knife in his hand, constantly practicing his knife skills.

Going into battle to kill the enemy, charge into the battle, the long knife is also very useful, and it is especially suitable for fighting on horseback. It saves the most effort, just swinging and chopping.

Su Chen was never a first-rate warrior, but because of the breathing method given by the old beggar and the knife method given by Huber, after combining the two, within a year, he has become a third-rate master in the green forest.

In the army, that is also a fierce general of the tiger.

Of course, there are also differences in the level of martial arts of fierce generals. It is difficult to measure with a level of martial arts. You have to fight to know.

After all, this is not a martial arts novel, and it cannot be summarized at a specific level.

Although in martial arts, there are five levels of body training, nourishing qi, congenital, master, and martial sage, but they are all martial arts legends after all, and have not been officially confirmed.

For Su Chen, the training is over.

Practice hard every day, rain or shine.

Therefore, he is very familiar with swords, and even comprehended some mysterious and mysterious things such as sword intent and sword energy.

Similar to the spirit of craftsmanship, a master porcelain master can be good at craftsmanship, and a master painter can make the finishing touch.

The same is true for practicing martial arts and knives, you will have some insights of your own.

"Mr. Chen, the captain, the captain, and the team leader are all here."

Jing Hong, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Shence Army, came over and clasped his fists to report.

Su Chen nodded. In the army, he temporarily used the pseudonym "Chen Su". He was General Chen and the commander in chief.

According to the current military formations of various countries such as the Southern Tang and Northern Song Dynasties in the late Five Dynasties, they are all quite similar, and they are all arranged according to Xiang, Army, Battalion, Capital, Team, Group, and Wu.

There are 5000 people in one wing, and there is a general, also known as the owner of the wing, and the number of lieutenants varies, and ten armies are under his jurisdiction.

Each army has 500 people, with one "du commander" or "duyu marquis" and two deputy commanders.

An army has five battalions under its jurisdiction, which are usually distinguished by "front, back, left, right, and center", such as the front battalion of the Zuo Changjian Army and the rear battalion of the Zuo Longxiang Army.

And a battalion has 500 people, set up a "school lieutenant" as the commander, and has five capitals under its jurisdiction; each "du" has 100 people, and there is one "dutou".

And the "du" has two "teams" under its jurisdiction, each with 50 people, and the leader of the team.

Further down, there are ten people in a group, five people in a team, each with a fire leader and a team leader.

Although Yang Wu's Heiyundu has the word "du", it is not a small capital of 100 people, but a one-compartment organizational system, which is why it was able to sweep Huaibei back then and deter the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

At present, the Shence Army has less than 5000 people, and there can only be two armies, Du Yuhou, Jing Hong and Peng Jingjing.

But at this time, Peng Jingjing used the pseudonym "Peng Qing".

Su Chen recruited these school lieutenants (battalion commanders), dutou (company commanders), and team leaders (platoon leaders) to instill some combat thinking and training methods.

He plans to take an hour a day to explain Sun Tzu's Art of War and 36 Strategies, so that the officers and officers of his Shence Battalion can be a little educated, and their vision and thinking can be broadened, so that they can practice and improve in combat.

"Sit down in the tent!"

Inside the tent, there are some small benches, on which there is a simplified version of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" written by Su Chen, and I want to teach everyone a lesson.

When these captains, captains, and team leaders sat down, they were all young faces, the oldest being only 30 years old.

"Everyone, I am the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army, and I am also the general of Zhige in front of the hall. I am responsible for protecting the safety of the Lord. Our Shence Army has two characters. One is to protect the Lord, and to act as the imperial army and guards. The second is to be able to go into battle Killing the enemy is also an elite expeditionary force."

"At present, our rebel army has just been established, and there is a lot of waste to be done, and there is a shortage of talents. You all have hope. In the future, you will kill the enemy and make meritorious service in the battlefield, and you will be promoted to Du Yuhou, general, etc. However, with your martial arts alone, you may be a A leader who bravely kills the enemy and charges into the battle cannot become a qualified commander or general, so this general will set aside an hour every day to explain the art of war to everyone."

"Let me explain to you, what is the knowledge of the art of war, what is the supply line, how to calculate the relationship between food and grass and the number of troops on the march, what kind of situation you encounter, there may be fraud, and you must not take it lightly. These are the knowledge that an officer must know. When the time comes, you Experience in practice, with the improvement of military exploits, one day, you will all become qualified generals!"

Su Chen's explanation moved many people's hearts.

Many of them are the sons of poor families, the sons of ordinary tenants. Because they are strong, they fight fiercely, or they have learned a little basic boxing skills, and they are also hunters and butchers, so they join the army.

Weapons, horseback riding, and archery are all systematically learned in the army recently, let alone military thinking.

They are just not many, if it is true what Su Chen said, the media can take time to learn some military knowledge and understand the skills of leading troops, then they will all have a chance to be promoted to generals in the future.

This opportunity to get ahead is their hope for hard work, not only to get rewards for meritorious service, but to become people with goals, pursuits, and ideals. The nature is completely different.

Su Chen's thought and temptation opened up the heroic heart of these poor and conflicted warriors, who pursued progress and bravely became generals.

The pride was opened, and everyone was eager to make contributions and stand out, so naturally they listened very seriously.

This time, he gave a brief introduction to military officers, explaining military theory, similar to the prototype of the Whampoa Military Academy. Su Chen knew that it was difficult to find famous generals in history to come and work for him in the south, so Su Chen could only train himself.

I hope that a single spark can start a prairie fire, and train a large number of front-line officers and generals who combine theory with practice, and follow me in the north and south in the future to complete the great cause in my heart.

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must be carefully studied. Therefore, five things are used in the scriptures, and they are used to calculate and ask for their feelings: one is the Tao, the other is the sky, the third is the earth, and the fourth is the earth. Said general, five said law..."

After Su Chen finished speaking an old saying, he then translated and explained it.

"What do you mean by this? Sun Tzu once said that war is the top priority of a country. It is related to the life and death of soldiers and civilians, and the survival of the country. It must be carefully observed, analyzed, and studied. Therefore, before launching a war, It is necessary to analyze various situations from five aspects of the enemy and the enemy to make comparisons, obtain details, and predict the possibility of winning or losing the war.

"One is the way, the great way, who occupies the truth, how is the overall national strength. The second is the sky, what is the climate and time. The third is the land, what is the terrain like? The fourth is the general, who will be the general, and the fifth is the law. Yan Ming, the most abundant supplies, etc., are definitely not a battle that can determine victory or defeat, but a multi-faceted, multi-level comparison, which affects the whole body!"

Su Chen spoke clearly and logically, and he also shared with these martial arts officers the many insights he gained from studying Sun Tzu's art of war these days.

After an article on Sun Tzu's Art of War, Su Chen proposed new techniques on how to train soldiers, such as physical training, such as sit-ups, parallel bars, resisting wood, etc., set aside a period of time every day to train the soldiers' physical fitness.

Of course, it should not be excessive, because meat is rarely eaten in this era, especially these recruits have been starving for a long time, their physical fitness is poor, and they are skinny. If there is not enough nutritional supplements, meat tonic, and lack of lean protein, it is impossible. If you can withstand physical training, you will be exhausted.

In this era, there are very few livestock that can eat meat. Cattle are used for farming, horses are used for traveling, black pigs have not been eaten on a large scale, and there are too few poultry chickens, ducks and geese, and they are still reserved for laying eggs.

In addition, venison and mutton are more popular, which can only be eaten by wealthy families. It is good for poor people to eat rice and not be hungry. Most of them eat pickles and wild vegetables.

The same is true in the army, where there is only enough rice and vegetables, and there is not much meat.

If Su Chen wanted to create well-trained and strong soldiers, he would have to regularly supplement the soldiers with meat.

Looking at those livestock, the only one that can be raised for food on a large scale is the black pig, but new farming techniques are needed.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes. After conquering Wuyue Kingdom and establishing a foothold there, he planned to study this method of raising and eating black pigs. After all, Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty invented Dongpo meat in Hangzhou. The most important thing is the black pork that was rarely eaten at that time.
