Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 304 Grandstanding
"The three armies have not moved, but the food and grass go first!"

Facing the faces of the young military officers who were being trained, as well as the generals, general instructors, and His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness who came to attend the class together, Qin Lang chose a well-regulated opening speech.

The plan to brag to these young military officers could only be temporarily changed.

"If you don't fight unprepared battles, you will win the battle! Our Tang army can fight and dare to fight, but it cannot do without army logistics, and army logistics is an integral part of military logistics."

"What is military logistics? In my opinion, it is the planning and use of personnel, material resources, financial resources and technology, from material funds, to medical rescue, transportation, equipment maintenance, military depots and castles, etc. to ensure military construction and combat needs. The collective name of its institutions!"

Standing on this podium, Qin Lang decided to talk about something dry.

Especially Hou Junji's gleeful appearance made him very displeased. Although he also knew that he was not from the army, he had never served in a serious military post. It was just a temporary errand.He didn't know why Hou Junji despised him, anyway, everyone also fought side by side in Xuanwumen that day.

In front of famous generals such as Li Jing, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., it is natural for them to talk about the art of war and battle examples.

But since he was talking about military supplies and logistics, Qin Lang felt that he still had something in his stomach.

After all, the army of later generations paid more attention to logistics and military supplies, and the system was more comprehensive.

"Everyone, army logistics should be given more attention than it is now. We can't just think of army logistics, but only think of civilians and grain transportation teams. This kind of thinking is completely wrong. Army logistics should only refer to the support of the army in combat. , and the logistics needed for construction and other activities, not only in wartime, but in peacetime as well.”

"It can also be divided into strategic logistics, campaign logistics, tactical logistics, etc. according to its performance."

Hou Junji originally wanted to see a joke, but he didn't expect Qin Lang to speak in a set way, about strategies, tactics and battles, with words he didn't understand.

"Excuse me, Instructor Qin, what is strategic logistics, what is campaign logistics, and what is tactical logistics? What is the difference?"

"Hou Shangshu's question is good. Let me make a metaphor. The military logistics is like a big tree, and the strategic logistics is like a tree trunk, which does not move. The campaign logistics is like a branch, which is half-moving. Tactical logistics Well, like a leaf, it is fully moving."

Hou Junji was stunned, he didn't understand what kind of big tree trunks and leaves were half-moving or fully-moving.

"Then let me put it simply. Except for command and training, all other military affairs belong to military logistics."

This is a big deal.

It also caused dissatisfaction among the generals and instructors.

They are all traditional generals, and they take it for granted that the general in the army is the leader of the army. Of course, the affairs of the entire army are in charge of the general, and all military affairs should belong to the command. Is it just a transfer supply?
How could Qin Lang say that the command and training place, and all other affairs of the army belonged to the army's logistics?
"In addition to military rations and ordnance, there are many things that military logistics should manage, such as logistics command, finance, as well as military medical rescue, marching and camping, city defense and fortifications, transportation and transportation, siege equipment, etc. In addition to combat All of these should belong to the military logistics."

"So I think that a truly professional army, an army that can win every battle, should pay more attention to the logistics of military supplies. Our senior generals should stop sticking to the old concept that the military needs logistics to transport food and civilians. These are the military craftsmen."

"We should have specialized military logistics officers and personnel. For example, we can establish professional military hospitals to train military doctors. In this way, during combat, there will be professional and capable military doctors with the army to rescue more wounded. .”

"In addition to the normal military rations and ordnance, we should also make more reserves of military medicinal materials. We should also establish a more professional army engineer unit, so that our army can open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and station Able to set up a camp, attack a city and quickly create an auxiliary force for siege equipment."

Li Shimin was satisfied with what he heard.

"At first, I thought that Qin Lang was good at comforting you after the chaos in Youzhou and Binzhou was put down. He pulled him here and wanted him to learn some rules. I didn't expect that this kid really has a lot of money in his belly."

Sitting next to the emperor, Li Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also nodded.

"It really makes sense, it's not outside the door."

"How did this kid learn this? As far as I know, Qin Qiong can't teach him this." Qin Qiong is the kind of fierce general who can rush and dare to fight. Even at the command level, he is actually only at the upper-middle level.

"I feel that what Huailiang said is a bit like a civil servant commanding an army. In the previous dynasty, Yang Su was a general and a prime minister. He commanded an army well. Strict, military law is extremely strict, rewards and punishments are clearly defined, even the military supplies and logistics are well prepared and organized."

Li Shimin asked, "Does Yang Su have the art of war?"

"No."

"Then where did Qin Lang learn all this?"

"I think it might be a self-realization after reading military books."

Li Shimin was a little surprised at this. He has such understanding just by reading the book of war? Although Sun Tzu's Art of War also has a lot of words about grain and grass logistics, but there is no such detailed summary.

Over there, Hou Junji was very unconvinced, and already openly said that Qin Lang was talking on paper, and that Qin Lang should change his name to Qin Kuo.

Li Shimin's face was not very good, "Go and call Hou Junji, and say that in front of the trainees, it's too inappropriate."

After a class.

The controversy is huge.

However, the military officers trained feel that they have gained a lot.

Seeing Qin Lang coming out of the emperor's tent, Cheng Chumo smiled and said to him, "When Hou Junji came out just now, he was disgraced, did he get approved by the emperor?"

"Tell him a few words."

"It seems that the son-in-law is more popular, but Hou Junji is a small-minded person. If you do something like this today, he probably hates you."

"It shouldn't be so, we have no grievances or enmities with him, we are all from the Dragon Sect with military merits." Qin Lang said with a smile.He naturally knew in his heart that Hou Junji had a small belly, but he couldn't say that clearly.

Cheng Chumo was still afraid that he would be at a disadvantage, "Everything is from the military school. Although this Hou Junji is also a confidant of His Majesty's Qiandi, this old boy is from Guanzhong, and his ancestors are also members of the Guanlong Group. He can be regarded as a general, and we Shandong people can't pee in the same pot. Moreover, this guy has always boasted that he has made great achievements in peace and chaos, so he is very inflated. Now that he has become the Minister of the Ministry of War, it is even more serious. I have told people about Uncle Qin several times after drinking, and today I think it is targeted, and if you are not allowed to step down, it will naturally affect Uncle Qin's prestige in the army."

Qin Lang passed away with a chuckle.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."

"Let's go, bro, I'll show you the excitement. Have you heard of the old man from the Western Regions in Xishi and the priceless piano? I got news that someone will come to take down the piano today. Let's see who the gods are, that's all." Yes." Cheng Chumo said excitedly.

"There's nothing to look at. Smarter people know that this is just a deliberate hype."

But Cheng Chumo insisted on going, and said that he was locked up in the barracks for several days during the training, and he was so bored, he finally took two days off to rest, so naturally he had to go and have a good time.

He also said that he had invited many partners to go with him.

Qin Lang had no choice but to follow them to the West Market to see the excitement, only to find that there were really many people.

This matter has been hyped for a while, so there are a lot of melon eaters who got the news today.

On the corner of the West Market, outside the stall for the elderly in the Western Regions, it was already crowded. Countless people wanted to come and see the hundred taels of gold qin, and even more wanted to see who had the ability to get a qin for nothing.

Looking at this group of enthusiastic people eating melons, Qin Lang felt that they were still too innocent, had suffered too few beatings, and had been deceived too little.

If it wasn't for his current limited status, Qin Lang felt that the people here are really stupid and rich, and there are ten thousand ways to cheat, so he can teach this group of people to be more knowledgeable.

There are more and more people.

Cheng Chumo's Wei Chi Baoqi and his group, relying on their stature, forcibly squeezed out a passage and squeezed to the front row.

The next step is to wait.

Qin Lang took a closer look at the violin placed on the ground. It was a very ordinary violin without any gold or jade decorations. It was somewhat similar to his six-string guitar, but it had thirteen strings. It's like playing the guqin.

This made him more and more convinced that this must be a hype event.

Sure enough, in the expectation of countless people who eat melons.

Finally, someone finally came.

"The person who knows the piano is here, get out of the way!"

Separate a passage in the crowd.

A young man in white shirt came to the old man surrounded by a group of men in green robes.

"You know this piano, can you play it?"

The old man opened his eyes and asked the young man in white shirt.

"Yes."

"Then would you like to play a song in public?"

The old man in the Western Regions was surprised.

"I am willing to pay a hundred taels of gold to buy this piano."

"Since you know this piano and can play it, then I won't give you a penny."

The young man beckoned, and a man in a green shirt behind him brought up a box, opened it, and it was filled with golden gold.

"Big horseshoe gold, 100 taels, you count!"

The old man from the Western Regions inspected the gold carefully, and finally nodded in satisfaction. He summoned a few companions, loaded the gold into a carriage, and then quickly squeezed his way out of the crowd and left.

The man in the white shirt picked up the thirteen-stringed zither.

He held up his piano and faced the crowd on all sides.

Everyone is still in shock just now, is there really someone who bought a strange piano with a hundred taels of gold?

Seeing him lift the piano, everyone thought he was going to play a song again.

After finishing speaking, he slammed the qin on the ground, and the qin shattered to the ground.

The people who eat melons also dropped their jaws in shock.

The strings of the qin broke, and sawdust flew across. The qin was completely ruined, and no skilled luthier could repair it. 100 taels of gold!
The man in white robe finished smashing the piano and crossed his hands at the people around him.

"Fan Yang, Lu Chengqing, has five surnames and seven eldest sons. Fan Yang is the head of the family. He claims to be brilliant and full of classics. Fan Yang and Lu's children are all heirs of classics and learning. Unexpectedly, this year's imperial examination, my dignified Fan Yang's Lu family has no one. It's ridiculous to be on the list. This time I came to Chang'an in person, just to see the magnificence of Chang'an. This piano is actually just a weird piano. The people in Chang'an are still scrambling to watch and praise it, so Lu couldn't see it, so he bought it for a hundred taels of gold, and then smashed it in public!"

"Why do people in Chang'an prefer to pursue these things, and turn a blind eye to the talents of my Fan Yang and Lu disciples? Isn't it strange?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Chengqing called those young men in green shirts over one by one.

Every time one was called, he would give a brief introduction, and then asked him to take out a box of poetry collections, which were all collections of poems and proses written by the children of the Lu family. He opened the box directly and threw the collection of poems to everyone.

More than a dozen young talents of the Lu family wrote a collection of poems and prose, each prepared a large box, and threw them all to the crowd.

"This is just a small part of my poems written by Fan Yang Lu's hero. Tomorrow, I, Lu Chengqing, will take over all the restaurants and prostitutes in Pingkangfang. Tomorrow, everyone who comes to Pingkangfang to drink will be paid by me, Fanyang Lu." !"

"Tomorrow, I will introduce more heroes of the Lu family to the people of Chang'an!"

"Everyone can receive the poetry collection of my Lu family's children for free!"
