The rise of the prince

Chapter 355
After July, Li Xingzhou was doing two things. While planning the new palace, he had to run to the new army camp.

Soldiers don't know generals, and generals don't know soldiers. This is the method used by Emperor Jingguo to restrict generals. Although it can effectively restrain generals from rebelling, it will also greatly reduce combat effectiveness, and the new army just eliminates this drawback.

If so, make good use of it.

The general is the spiritual support of the army, which is very important, so he will patrol the army almost every day, and reward the whole army from time to time. With the current financial resources of the palace, there is no problem at all.

Rewards are rewards, military discipline must be strict, and as far as the army is concerned, discipline is combat effectiveness.

In history, tens of thousands were beheaded. From the undefeated Qi family army, the military law was so strict that they would be beheaded if they could not keep up in the battle.

Many records from the peak period of the Great Britain Never Set Empire show that at that time, the British army lined up and marched with drums, lined up and shot, and the battle damage reached 80.00%, and they were still able to continue fighting.

This kind of discipline coupled with advanced technology created an invincible empire on which the sun never sets. When the British fought against the Qing army, the main force was still at sea, and the striker had already won.

Does the British army only rely on firearms elite?
Of course not, because the firearms were sold outside, and the Qing army also sold a large number of firearms. Strict discipline alone could not stop the Qing army from fighting hand-to-hand with the Qing army.

This is so similar. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the Ming army only dared to rely on firearms, and did not dare to fight head-to-head with the Eight Banners who were not afraid of death. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army also lost that kind of courage.

Discipline, confrontation!Li Xinzhou kept emphasizing with Di Zhi and Yan Shen.

Repeatedly asked Di Zhi and others to strictly enforce orders and prohibit them. Those who could not be punished would be severely punished. At the same time, many new soldiers were asked to practice Tieshanjia every day. good way.Only physical collision and confrontation can strengthen the soldiers' confrontational psychology.

Then there is more high-risk trust training, such as picking people up from a high platform, ten people carrying logs, etc., and queue training. Li Xinzhou clearly stipulates that every time he comes to inspect, 5000 people must be assembled in a whole team at Baisu. If not, all will be punished.

Discipline and confrontation have been established, and the next step is to strengthen the physical fitness. After all, the body is the capital of the battle, and the nutrition of the soldiers must keep up.

There are roughly three civilizations in the world, farming civilization, nomadic civilization, and pirate civilization.

In the long history, nomadic civilizations have the upper hand in physical confrontation most of the time.

There are objective conditions for this, not only because they can ride and shoot well since they were young, but also because nomads eat more meat and milk, so they will have an advantage in physical fitness.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou also stipulated in the new army that there must be meat and eggs every three days.Mutton is too expensive to eat, so I eat pork. Because of the business relationship of Tingyulou, Zhiyuelou, and Zhiqiulou, the Wangfu has contacts with many farmers, and Li Xingzhou has also given these farmers a lot of advice on raising pigs.

The Wangfu bought pigs from them steadily, and these farmers were naturally grateful and happy at the same time.In order for the new army to eat meat, the palace increased its purchases and also supported more farmers.

So far, everything about the training of the new army has been done step by step and in an orderly manner. According to the current output of the palace, by November of the end of the year, the new army can increase to a musketeer team of 9000 people.

A musketeer team of 2000 people!Li Xingzhou felt a surge of emotion when he thought about it. In addition, [-] people who were physically strong and of outstanding quality were also selected. They will be armed as plate armored light cavalry. Shooting guns is not enough to completely eliminate the cavalry in the past.

He has repeatedly deduced the combat process. Except for the musketeers and artillery, the new army still needs a fast mobile force that can chase and sweep the battlefield after the enemy flees.

Therefore, the cavalry needs to retain a part.

After getting along for a few days, Wanyan Yingge became more and more impressed by the Jingguo old man who received them. He was different from other Jingguo people, Wanyan Yingge thought so.

The old man's words and deeds are always comfortable, and sometimes he will say some very reasonable words, which are different from what her father taught her, but she does not hide and prevaricate.She felt guilty for trying to play tricks on the old man when they first met.

Afterwards, Emperor Jingguo hosted a banquet for them, and they finally met Emperor Jingguo. Unfortunately, he didn't talk about anything, and he didn't say anything about sending troops, but just let them rest assured.

Liu Xu looked worried all the time.

Humph, coward!After all, she is still a cowardly Han Chinese, she thought in her heart, Liu Xu was just afraid that his father and elder brother would lose to the Liao Kingdom, how could they lose!In front of the Jurchen children, the Liao people are just sheep, and of course, so are the Han people!
The next day, Chen Yu came again, prepared chariots and horses, and invited them to go out and enjoy the scenery of Kaiyuan.

Wanyan Yingge happily agreed, and along the way in the carriage, she told the old man about her glorious achievements. The old man listened and nodded his praises from time to time, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.

Along the way, she also saw the prosperity that was impossible to see in the Jurchen tribe. The people lived in peace and prosperity with smiles on their faces.There is no ice and snow here, no wolves, tigers and leopards, no struggle with the sky.
Watching and watching, her voice gradually quieted down, and she was stunned unconsciously.

I don't know what it feels like in my heart, I'm actually a little distracted, and I'm lost in this flourishing flower scroll.
She shook her head hastily, and told herself in her heart, no matter how happy these people laugh, no matter how happy they are, they are still sheep, they are all sheep!Weak and deceitful sheep!No matter how fat the sheep are, no matter how much grass they have to eat, they will die in the end.

She is a wolf, a wild wolf in a place of bitter cold, those hardships are just the test of the heavens, and in the end, she, their Jurchen sons and daughters, will eat up these sheep.
Thinking of this, she immediately felt much better.

While walking, the old man introduced Kaiyuan City to her, and she wrote it down in her heart.

"Exit from this gate is the Triumph Pavilion. Historically, the emperor or all the officials will welcome the triumphant army when they go out to battle." The carriage stopped outside the city gate, and the old man introduced it to her.

Wanyan Yingge looked in the direction he pointed, and outside the sparsely populated main entrance, a pavilion could indeed be seen in the distance, but there seemed to be many people around the small pavilion, and it was very lively, even busier than the gate of the city.

"What are they doing?" Wanyan Yingge was puzzled, and Liu Xu, who was sitting next to her, also looked curiously.

The old man sitting opposite stroked his beard and said, "Hahaha, I'm probably paying homage to King Pingnan. Last month, all the officials of the imperial court welcomed him triumphantly in this pavilion. It is also a grand event in my court. If you said it earlier, you might be able to catch up with him." .”

Liu Xu smiled and said, "It's me waiting for blessings."

Wanyan Yingge suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "That's the 16-year-old Pingnan King Li Xingzhou."

Chen Yu nodded: "I didn't expect you to know about this."

"Hahaha, that's natural. The King of Pingnan County of your country ran thousands of people to attack thousands of miles to defeat [-] rebels. This matter is well known in the world, and I have heard of it long before going south." Liu Xu smiled and put a high hat on Jing Guo.

Wanyan Yingge didn't give face, snorted and said: "I don't know if it's true or not." But the voice was very low.

Liu Xu hurriedly changed the subject: "Please forgive me for being abrupt, but I am really curious whether King Pingnan is really only 16 years old. After all, such achievements are too appalling."

Chen Yu said: "Haha, it's nothing. Not to mention the emissary, I was not surprised when I first heard about it. However, although King Pingnan was young and stubborn, he was talented and intelligent. No one who I have investigated in this life can do anything wrong." And, probably a genius from heaven."

After listening to Wanyan Yingge, she raised her head, hesitated to speak, and finally leaned closer: "Mr., I haven't finished my story yet."
