Chapter 76 Logistics
Chen Qing asked Han Shizhong to sit down in the big tent, and Han Shizhong said to Chen Qing: "Zizhou guards Li Zhong and Sang Zhong rebelled and looted the money, grain and supplies destined for Hanzhong. The situation is critical. Zhang Xuanfu rushed back to Bashu last night. He left you a letter."

After finishing speaking, Han Shizhong took out Zhang Jun's letter and handed it to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing opened the letter and read it. Zhang Jun just told him to prepare for the military training competition with all his strength. If he had any difficulties, he could ask Han Shizhong for help. Zhang Jun also left him [-] guan as supplementary military expenses.

Zhang Jun mentioned at the end of the letter that if Chen Qing didn't want to send them back to the Xiang army, he could hand them over to Han Shizhong.

In fact, this was also Chen Qing's idea. He wanted to hand over this army to Hu Yantong, and of course it was okay to hand it over to Han Shizhong.

"Han Dutong told me about this military training competition. I don't know yet. What is the competition?"

Han Shizhong smiled slightly and said: "This military training competition is actually a competition for new recruits and new generals. It was proposed by the emperor at the beginning of the year. The purpose is to select the guards and young generals. At present, except for the Western Army and the Lingnan Army, all other armies must send People came to participate, but Zhang Xuanfu asked the Privy Council a few days ago that you should represent the Western Army in the competition, and the Privy Council agreed, and then the army under your hand will also represent the Western Army. The Xuanfu envoy should give you this matter I said it!"

"He told the humble official."

"Originally there were [-] teams participating in this martial arts competition, and later [-] troops from your martial arts training were added, and finally there were [-] teams participating. I don't know what rewards will be given in the school, but this competition represents the glory of each army, everyone will go all out, I hope you will pay attention to it, after all, you represent the Western Army."

Chen Qing nodded, and asked again: "Can General Hu Yantong continue to be with us?"

"This is what I want to tell you. This time I will also send [-] people to the competition. The main general is Gao Cheng. The original deputy general was Hu Yantong, but Zhang Xuanfu agreed to hand over your army to me as compensation. , Hu Yantong will continue to be your lieutenant!"

"Han Dutong intends to hand over this army to Hu Yantong?"

Han Shizhong smiled and nodded, "Do you really mean that?"

"Will Yue Fei come this time?"

"Of course he will come. He is now in command of the Shenwu You Deputy Army. I heard that he will send generals Zhang Xian and Wang Gui to lead [-] recruits to the competition. Not only Yue Fei, but also Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, etc. They will send their confidantes to participate in the competition, this is an opportunity for newcomers to make their debut.

As for what you just asked, the game?To be honest, I don’t know, but it’s nothing more than the usual training. I’ve seen your usual training. The army is very good, but not enough. It’s still a bit short of fire. We need to strengthen training, especially actual combat confrontation. It will be the top priority of the contest. "

Han Shizhong bid farewell and left. Chen Qing led the generals and sent him out of the camp. ' shouted loudly and jumped up with joy.

Chen Qing understood his thoughts, smiled and gave him a punch, "Don't think too much now, with me here, you can be my lieutenant honestly, after you finish your martial arts, this army will be ready It's your turn to lead!"

Hu Yantong scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Since we are going to participate in the military training competition, should we sum it up carefully, how should we train next?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Call all the generals above the head of the capital to the meeting hall for discussion!"

Not long after, more than a dozen capitals and generals gathered together, and Chen Qing said to everyone: "I told you before that we will participate in the recruit training competition, but I still think about it simply. This is actually a check of the recruits by the emperor, and it is also a contest between the various armies. All the armies are doing their best, but we are a little careless.

Tell the brothers here that this is also a contest that will change their fate. I believe that no one wants to return to the Xiang Army to receive meager treatment. If you want to get a high salary, you must show a high level. From now on, we will go all out train. "

After a pause, Chen Qing said slowly again: "Considering our weak link, I decided to divide the [-] brothers into four battalions. One is the bow and arrow battalion, which is dedicated to practicing bow and arrow. Liu Qiong will be the commander. The battalion specializes in weapon fighting, with Hu Yantong and Zheng Ping as the commanders, and the other is the intelligence logistics battalion, which is responsible for inquiring about the opponent's intelligence and logistical support. Zhao Xiaoyi is in charge. From now on, all the soldiers will mobilize for me Basic training of running and squatting, and then special training!"

The school field was steaming, and the morale of the soldiers was high. Some were practicing bows and arrows, some were practicing marksmanship, and some were practicing sword and shield.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyi came over with a sad face. He was a general of the scout battalion, and he had fifty elite scouts under him. It would be no problem to investigate the enemy's situation, but Chen Qing asked him to take care of the logistics, but he didn't know what to do.

"The general asked me to take care of logistics. I have never done it before. I don't know where to start?"

Zhao Xiaoyi is the soldier who has followed Chen Qing for the longest time. He has been by Chen Qing's side since the very beginning, and he is also one of Chen Qing's most trusted confidantes. His greatest advantage, so Chen Qing asked him to develop into a scout based on his characteristics, and now he planned to let him take care of the logistics.

Chen Qing said with a smile: "It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to do logistics. It is to let the soldiers eat well, rest well, train well, have good medical care, and manage money, food and materials well. If you do these five things in place, you are a qualified logistics provider." general.

but!It is also difficult to say that the logistics are good, such as training well, all kinds of armor and materials must be guaranteed, soldiers must practice archery, you must arrange targets, soldiers must practice night battles, you must prepare sufficient torches, etc. , and have a good rest. After a day of hard training, do you need to boil hot water for the soldiers to soak their feet, or even find someone to wash the soldiers' clothes, etc. These things are all logistics. "

Zhao Xiaoyi squatted on the ground in pain, "I don't even know where to start?"

Chen Qing reassured him and said, "You don't need to do these things alone. We have [-] soldiers, [-] of whom are regular troops, [-] are spies, and the remaining [-] are soldiers. They are logistics soldiers. There are ten people who can read and write. I will promote them to the rank of military officers. They are your assistants. What do you want everyone to do?
There is also money, which is the key. The Xuanfu envoy left [-] yuan for us to supplement military expenses. The money is used to buy various ingredients, hire people to wash clothes, and hire a doctor to serve as a temporary military doctor. Qian, you can do everything easily, understand? "

Zhao Xiaoyi said with a bitter face: "General, if you can write down what you said, I will know what to do."

"Okay! I'll write to you later. Now you take a dozen or so brothers to drive a cart to the Baofeng Money Shop in the city to get three thousand guan. Two thousand coins for you."

Watching Zhao Xiaoyi leave with a heavy heart, Chen Qing also knew that Zhao Xiaoyi was just a young soldier who had just joined the army, only nineteen years old, and now he was suddenly asked to be a logistics general, he must not be able to adapt, but everything has a process, this time it happened It is an opportunity to train him.

There are dozens of temporary large tents in the barracks, including Chen Qing's chief general's tent. Compared with the barracks, he prefers to live in tents, which are spacious and spacious, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable living in them.

Since yesterday, he has been officially promoted to be a commander, but he does not feel like he is a commander at all. It seems that nothing has changed. Maybe his salary will be higher. His previous salary was twelve per month, but now it is estimated that it can be raised to About twenty.

Of course, the military badge has also changed, from Zhongweilang to Zhengshilang, although it is still from the seventh rank, it is already the highest level from the seventh rank.

In the big tent, Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, and was carefully wiping his Fangtian painting halberd. It was about one foot and eight inches long, and the whole body glowed with a faint blue light. It is simply a work of art. The iron halberd he used in Muzhou before and this Fangtian painted halberd are a thousand miles away.

This is the first time Chen Qing has seen aesthetics from a long weapon, and he doesn't know which famous artist made it, and it finally became his favorite thing.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, mixed with soldiers' roars faintly, Chen Qing was startled, raised his halberd and walked outside.

As soon as we reached the gate of the big tent, a soldier rushed over and knelt down on one knee to report, "General Qi, an army came from outside the camp and wanted to enter our barracks by force, but was stopped by General Zheng. Very powerful."

Chen Qing was surprised, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, will the occupation of the barracks also happen?

He untied the reins, got on his horse, and urged the horse to run towards the gate of the camp.
