Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 292

It was getting dark, Wang Xiaolie didn't leave the three of them to drink and eat, and let them go.Sitting alone under the ginkgo, quietly lost in thought.

Wang Xiaolie was very excited when he came back from the first battle in Jingmen.A hearty victory, especially when the two armies faced each other, the Jin army had nothing to do, which greatly encouraged Wang Xiaolie.This shows that my thinking is correct, and the trained army can fight.Encouraged by Jingmen's victory, Wang Xiaolie started reforms with great fanfare.

In just a few months, Xiangyang's business was extremely prosperous, and the agriculture also had a bumper harvest.Instead of collecting money from farmers, they use the sales channels of supply and marketing cooperatives to organize farmers to establish various associations and associations for agricultural and sideline industries, and provide markets for the newly opened various industrial and commercial associations. situation.Not only was the industrial and commercial tax increased, but the membership was quickly printed to more than 600 million coins.

With an annual income of nearly 2000 million yuan, and the value of clubs is stable without inflation, Wang Xiaolie finally has money in his hands.Even if one soldier spends one hundred yuan a year, Wang Xiaolie can afford to support an army of 10,000+ after excluding other expenses.Even if the number of printings of the meeting cannot be increased in the future, only the bank's income, coupled with the rapidly increasing industrial and commercial tax, can guarantee an annual income of more than 1000 million.It is enough to support an army of [-].An army of [-] is enough for Wang Xiaolie to run rampant along West Jing Road.

For the current Song Dynasty, whether it is the development of agriculture or the prosperity of industry and commerce, the most important thing is to have money and have money to train soldiers.Only with a stable environment after military training can we talk about development.Therefore, at the same time as the economic reform, Wang Xiaolie began to rectify the army.

According to the estimate, it will take three months to rectify.When the face of the army has taken on a new look, it is time for the autumn and winter wars to begin.

However, the rectification did not go smoothly.Ninety percent of the officers objected, regardless of whether they could carry out their orders, it meant that the rectification had failed.

Failed.Wang Xiaolie sighed.

The ginkgo tree overhead made a sound in the breeze, and the green leaves were swaying.The afterglow of the setting sun covered the sky, turning into strange shapes.Wang Xiaolie sat quietly, recalling every detail of his administration in Xiangyang and Dengzhou since the crusade against Yang Jin.

After leaving Wang Xiaolie's residence, Shao Ling said, "There's nothing to do tonight, why don't we have two glasses of wine at Xunjia Tavern?"

Chen Yuyi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay. I've been in Xinye for a while, and I don't know what the night scene in this city is like."

Niu Gao likes wine the most, so naturally he has no objection.He took the two of them to a restaurant that he thought sold the best wine.

The boy led them to the upstairs pavilion.Some of the personal soldiers of the three people were in the lobby, and six people occupied a pavilion next to it.Niu Gao ordered the food and wine, and asked the servant to come quickly.

Not long after, the servant brought wine and served some cold dishes at the same time.

Niu Gao pointed to the table and said: "I have never eaten such delicious dog meat in this store! You should try it."

Chen Yuyi and Shao Ling each took a piece, chewed it carefully, and praised it together.

After drinking a glass of wine, Shao Ling said: "I asked about the rectification situation in the army just now. I said that [-]% of the officers are bored. The observation is really disappointing! Although I didn't say much, I can see that the observation has a lot to do with this fact. It's sad."

Niu Gao wondered: "After listening to your words, there is no abnormality in the observation of speech, how do you know that observation is sad?"

Shao Ling sighed: "After staying with Observer for a long time, I will naturally understand. Niu Tongzhi is not careful about these things, so he finds it strange. Chen Shenyi, what do you think?"

Chen Yuyi nodded: "That's right, I also feel very disappointed in the observation. The observation said that he himself felt a little wordy about the recent military and political affairs. After hearing what you said, he only said one sentence and failed. The less you say, The more it shows how disappointed I am."

Shao Ling said: "Tong San has just passed away. When I observed that he took over our army, he was not a good-natured person. At that time, he dared to fight and charge, and he was able to risk his life. Only then did he kill a bloody road. He killed Yang Jin and occupied Xiang After Deng Deng, his temper gradually calmed down. Alas, when building this army, many observations were different from others. At first, some people doubted it. Shut up. Observation confidence increased greatly, and then began to rectify in the army."

After being silent for a while, Chen Yuyi said: "To be honest, I don't know why the observer did this. There have been rules in leading troops since ancient times. It is nothing more than selecting soldiers, strict military discipline, and more training. The general will show kindness to the soldiers, and the soldiers will surely die. .Wu Qi sucked gangrene, and the general Shi Le served him. The observation did not think so, and the soldiers must be educated. Everyone must know the truth of being a soldier—"

Speaking of this, Chen Yuyi shook his head helplessly: "How difficult it is!"

Shao Ling said: "This is the idea of ​​observation, and it is difficult for others to change it. Not only the military, but also observation of political affairs. No matter how difficult it is, the observation will continue. The two big victories this year show that the idea of ​​​​observation is good."

Chen Yuyi said: "The idea of ​​observation may be correct, but where can we find so many suitable officers in the world? In the past, generals in the army were not popular with reading, and many of them could not read. Observation requires that all soldiers must learn to read."

Shao Ling shook his head: "When the country was first established, the Taizu once asked all warriors in the world to read as much as possible. After Emperor Zhenzong, the court changed its mind. The observation of this matter is the same as Taizu's, so it's not wrong."

"Perhaps." Chen Yuyi is quite a traditional literati, whether it is politics or military affairs, many of them have different ideas from Wang Xiaolie.However, he is a qualified bureaucrat, and he has different ideas, which does not affect his dedication to doing things.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Shao Ling said: "I don't think there is something wrong with the idea of ​​observation, but I am worried that the difficulty is too great, and things will not go so smoothly, which will affect the confidence of observation. Once you lose confidence, you will lose your determination. , things are more difficult to do.”

Chen Yuyi thought for a while, then shook his head: "You worry too much about this matter. Although the attitude of observation is kind, he is very determined in doing things, and will never give up until the goal is achieved. After this matter, observation is nothing more than thinking more and making arrangements for things. It is more reasonable, but the determination should not change. I just think that now that Xiangyang has ample funds, it is time to recruit troops. The observation is just the opposite, not to expand the army."

Niu Gao said: "Soldiers are more expensive than good ones. At this time, money and food are abundant, and it is not a mistake to observe and train soldiers as hard as possible. Only when soldiers are trained well can one be as good as a hundred on the battlefield, and only then can they win fierce battles!"

Chen Yuyi didn't speak.Obviously, his idea is different from that of the two commanders.

Shao Ling said: "As long as the determination to observe remains unchanged and the confidence is full, there is nothing to worry about. In fact, many people do not understand or understand the method of observing soldiers. So what? To win on the battlefield, you must recognize it. In fact, it’s more than just counseling. Many generals in the army, including me, don’t know why the observation is done. If you don’t know, you don’t know. It’s good for the army, just follow orders.”

Having said that, Shao Ling drank a glass of wine.Cai said: "It can be observed that just obeying orders is not enough. What else is there? I am a soldier, and I only know how to obey orders. Other things are too difficult for others."
