Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 216 Reorganization of the Wuga River

The moonlight sprinkled on the slightly rippling Wujia River (the ancient Yellow River is in the territory of Hanghou Banner, Inner Mongolia today), and Chen Ying stood at the watchtower, looking at the silent camp.At this moment, the air seemed to be condensed, and even standing on the watchtower, which was as high as three feet and six feet high, still could not feel the slightest coolness.

At this time, the camp of the Lingzhou Army was built next to the river.There are also sheepskin rafts on the Wuga River from time to time, patrolling back and forth, it is almost impossible to sneak attack from the river.Dozens of watchtowers as high as three feet and six feet, the topmost pillars are added to the top, and the walls are hollow. A marching iron pot serves as a lamp holder, and three wicks as thick as a baby's arm are also lit. Looking from a distance, it is bright. Just like hanging a bright moon.

If there is an attack camp nearby, the lampkeeper on the watchtower will use a large bronze mirror with a concave surface to focus the light to a further distance.

The scorching heat of midsummer made Chen Ying sleepless. Looking at the silent military camp, Chen Ying was very anxious.

With more and more Turkic "attached troops", without effective unified management and command, the combat effectiveness of these attached troops would not be able to be exerted at all.

When they arrived in Fengzhou, there were more than [-] Turkic people.It is imperative to rectify these affiliated armies.However, Yu Guni's Lingwu army continued to increase, but Chen Ying worried that this army would gradually lose control.If he took away Yu Guni's authority rashly and compared his heart with his heart, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. The soil still has three parts, let alone Yu Guni is still alone?

If these problems are not solved, more serious problems will surely appear over time.Chen Ying thought for a while, and decided to put the issue on the surface. If he could accept it, we would still be friends in the future. If it was destined not to pee in the same pot, then we would part ways now.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ying summoned the generals of the army to hold an enlarged meeting. This time, not only Liu Tong, Chen Jinyong, Yu Guni, Ashina Simo and other generals participated in the meeting, but also the Lingwu Army and Dingyuan Army. The 72 principal and deputy regiment captains of the government all participated.

After seeing everyone gathered, Chen Ying said straight to the point: "There is one thing I haven't had time to say, and that is why we soldiers join the army, why we train so hard, and why we bleed... Now, what are the responsibilities of us soldiers, what are our goals, whose food we eat, and who are we fighting for... I know, everyone always thought that what we ate was from the Li family The meal is for the Li family, you may think that you are eating my meal, Chen Ying, and you are going to fight for me, but this is actually wrong."

Looking at the incredulous eyes of everyone, Chen Ying continued: "There is one thing that we made a mistake. Those who really support us soldiers are those old farmers who work in the fields every day with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky. The women who weave silk and hemp into clothes are the common people who pay taxes to the imperial court, and those poor people who have nothing to eat all day long to support us... The food we eat is grown by them. They wove the clothes we wear, squeezed through their teeth for the wages we receive... Therefore, the duty of our army is to guard those who feed and clothe us, to protect them To prevent them from being harmed by the bows and arrows and swords of the barbarians, so that they can farm and weave with peace of mind, so that they can live and raise their children and reproduce.”

The army is made up of people, and people have the ability to think. It is absurd to ask a group to give up the right to think, and it is impossible to truly realize it.An army without thought is an army that can only obey blindly, an army without subjective initiative and a sense of ownership. Such an army will inevitably lose on the battlefield to those who know where they come from and what their duty is , an army that knows what it is fighting for.This is the biggest difference between the modern army and the modern army and even the ancient army.

Chen Ying knew the horror of an army with ideas and ideals. "Old Qin, restore my country, don't shed blood, don't stop fighting..." The Qin army with a mind swept Liuhe and unified the world. "In order to liberate all of China" the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang army...

The training system of the ancient army only taught the soldiers how to fight, while the training system of the modern army not only taught the soldiers how to fight, but also told them why to fight. This difference seems to be small, but on the battlefield, This difference means victory and defeat.

Chen Yingdao: "The general manager has decided that the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions of the Lingwu Army will be reorganized into the Lingwu Zuo Army, and the affiliated army will be reorganized into the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth. , No.11, No.12, and No.13 Zhechong Mansion are the Lingwu Right Army. Yu Guni is the Lingwu General, Chen Jinyong is the Lingwu Left General, and Ashina Simo is the Lingwu Right General. "

Both Yu Guni and Chen Jinyong looked very happy, but the general of the Dingyuan Army looked disappointed.The Dingyuan Army did not fight less battles, and achieved a lot of victories, but because the Dingyuan Army did not expand rapidly like the Lingwu Army, these generals have never had a chance to be promoted.

Chen Ying nominally promoted Yu Guni, but in fact, he was promoted publicly and surrendered secretly, stripping Yu Guni from the main body of the Lingwu Army.

Chen Ying ignored it, but continued: "Liu Tong was promoted to be the marching commander of the Lingwu Army, and also a recorder to join the army. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Lingwu Army, the first, second, third, fourth, The fifth and sixth Zhechong prefectures will draw out five officers at the rank of captain and deputy lieutenant. The brigade commander is promoted to the brigade commander, the main brigade is promoted to the deputy brigade commander, and so on. Thirty principal and deputy brigade commanders, 150 principal and deputy team leaders. Waiting for more than [-] people, and then drawing more than [-] from Lingwu Youjun people to supplement the Lingwu Left Army."

The generals did not raise any objections to the old-generation-new method, which is a common training method in this era.

Chen Ying went on to say: "The general manager will add trainers, instructors, and counselors to the Lingwu Left Army and Lingwu Right Army."

Xu Jingzong asked doubtfully, "Who is this trainer?"

Chen Ying explained: "The Lingwu Army has a trainer for each Zhechong Mansion, and the rank is Captain Guoyi from the fifth rank. The main duty of the trainer is to teach the soldiers of the Lingwu Army to learn Tang dialect. , Cowardly behavior, the trainer can behead his head, take his post, and temporarily replace him. The instructor is responsible for teaching the whole regiment to learn the Tang army in each regiment. Similarly, if the regiment captain or deputy captain surrenders, Collaborating with the enemy can behead the school lieutenant, seize the army, and take it temporarily. It is regarded as a lieutenant under the sixth rank and Zhenwei. Similarly, the instructor is in charge of learning Tang dialect for each brigade..."

In fact, the so-called trainers, instructors, and counselors created by Chen Ying can basically be regarded as political commissars or instructors for later generations.
