back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 190 Preparations
For the army to be strong, the necessary training is essential.In addition to training, military discipline is the top priority.Supplemented by a perfect meritorious service reward system and pension system, it is possible to turn a decadent soldier into an elite soldier.

Lu Chengqi, who already had some experience, gradually realized the profound meaning of it.He didn't know that the thinking of ancient people was not like that of later generations. Lu Chengqi's training method that he thought was effective was actually just the credit of the perfect reward and promotion system, and it had nothing to do with other training and military discipline. big relationship.

The soldiers at this time did not have any concept of family and country. If they were stimulated with a sense of honor, they would not understand the righteousness of the age, the country and the nation.Some even dared to ask, "Why are there more Han people than Khitan people in the Liao Kingdom?"

Indeed, in the Liao Kingdom, there are mostly Han people.These Khitan people really deserve to die, but what about the Han people in the Liao Kingdom?They are slaves of the Khitan people and are treated as "two-legged sheep" by them. Should these Han people also deserve to die?

The question is too complex for them to answer.For these soldiers, it is great news that they can receive full salary on time every month.As for the sense of honor, what they value more is returning home with rich clothes, being promoted to a marquis, hugging each other, having wives and concubines in groups, and making others jealous. I am afraid this is the sense of honor in the minds of these soldiers!

Lu Chengqi is not a professional soldier, so naturally he doesn't understand what the soldiers of this era really think.Later generations used methods such as defending the home and the country to stimulate the sense of mission of the soldiers to enhance the so-called cohesion and combat effectiveness. It is also a movie and propaganda, but the effect is not necessarily good.But in this era, as long as a word of fame is only taken from the horse, a real hero and a husband can firmly grasp the hearts of soldiers, and it can even arouse the bloodiness of soldiers who are not afraid of death during battle.I don't know if it's the needs of the times, or driven by interests...

Lu Chengqi spends so much time doing ideological work, but the effect of brainwashing is actually limited.It would be better if he made a personal promise, "As long as you get the credit, I will reward you all! If someone detains your credit, report it to the Supervision Department, and I will handle it personally." It worked.Of course, the monthly salary is essential, so that you can eat enough and wear warm clothes every day.Let these forbidden soldiers who have undergone new training have hope, so that the already half-tired forbidden soldiers can grit their teeth and persevere.

It can be said that Lu Chengqi has trained a strong army only by playing the wrong way.This strong army has also proved that its combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the general nomadic army.If the frontier army and the Xiang army in the whole country can be like the [-] forbidden army and the [-] forbidden army auxiliary soldiers, Lu Chengqi really has a chance to conquer the grassland.

Lu Chengqi absently listened to the Xiaohuangmen's order, but his eyes were fixed on the direction of the Forbidden Army's camp, and he didn't know what he was thinking about...

At this moment, Lu Chenhuan finally recovered from the smirk, and finally remembered what to do now.Quickly mobilized [-] infantry, prepared all the food and grass needed for the march, and the weapons they brought, and prepared to go to Taiyuan Mansion to wipe out the so-called smuggling of salt.Taiyuan Royal Family, this is the largest group that monopolizes official salt and secretly sells private salt.According to the dark report from the Supervision Department, the number of private soldiers raised by the Wang family has exceeded a thousand.Not only are there weapons such as knives and guns, but even bows and crossbows that are strictly prohibited by the imperial court from being used by the people seem to be quite a lot.

The Wang family is so arrogant, how can Lu Chengqi not destroy it?If the Patriarch of the Wang family can sever his wrists and plead guilty, maybe Lu Chengqi can forgive him.Otherwise, the crimes of selling green salt and well salt to the Liao Kingdom, controlling the price of salt, colluding with thieves, and inciting scholars to make troubles alone are enough to confiscate and exterminate the Wang family more than ten times.

It has always been a cumbersome thing to go out for a large army.As I said before, no matter whether it is a soldier or an auxiliary soldier, they carry a lot of things.Fortunately, it is hot summer now, and there is no need for heavy warm clothes, otherwise it will be more troublesome, and there will be a lot of non-combat attrition.

Lu Chenhuan seems to have also been influenced by the teachings of the Royal Military Academy, and his style of acting is quite different.The [-] forbidden soldiers who set off were only given an hour to pack their things, and then set off.In fact, he is eager to make contributions, otherwise, he would have to take one step and see two steps.

There are 5 imperial troops, and there are nearly [-] auxiliary soldiers. The number is almost [-]. [-] people is already a huge army, and generals with average skills cannot command them all.

Fortunately, the mid-level and lower-level officers of the imperial army were very strong, they restrained their soldiers, and began to prepare for the departure in an orderly manner.In less than an hour, nearly [-] imperial troops were ready and ready to go out at any time.

At this time, the Musketeers had expanded to more than [-] people, and Lu Chengqi specially ordered that all Musketeers be sent to the battlefield to test the combat capabilities of these Musketeers.

There are more than [-] Musketeers, and the equipment they use is different from other soldiers.The ingenious Hongxiang-style rifle is equipped with a specially made bayonet that can be stuck on the barrel, which is extraordinarily majestic.

Now, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army all know how powerful the Musketeers are, and they all want to join the Musketeers.Last time the musketeers made great achievements and captured the cousin of Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Nielugu. The reward they received was almost double that of the other forbidden troops. Why didn't this make others jealous?

The requirements for the Biansheng Musketeers are extremely strict. One hundred thousand forbidden soldiers and one hundred thousand auxiliary soldiers are secretly competing to join the Musketeers.No, there are many auxiliary soldiers in the Musketeers who have entered through hard training, which makes many auxiliary soldiers see hope.The soldiers were not to be outdone. For a while, the Forbidden Army seemed to have changed into another army, and they were desperate to train. It was all because of the temptation of the Musketeers' treatment, which made them go on and on...

The newly-made Hongxiang-style rifle was not the first time to attack the Hongxiang-style rifle in Youzhou at that time.The gun barrel, which has been strictly quenched by the military inspectorate, is already more durable than the hundred-refined steel, and its toughness and hardness have reached the ideal effect.The only fly in the ointment is that the production capacity is limited, and it is more difficult to manufacture the barrel after going through the quenching process.

Why doesn't Lu Chengqi want to use artillery on the battlefield?However, the iron mold casting method, which is praised by the Chinese people as a god, can't be used for much use.Tang Xun, Shen Kuo, and Su Song, the three great scientists, after dozens of experiments, found that the artillery made of mud or quenching technology can achieve the ideal.Only in this way, the time to cast a cannon will be greatly extended.Therefore, it is impossible to keep up with the suppression of bandits this time.If you can catch up, it would be good to train the artillery in actual combat...

Lu Chengqi couldn't help sighing secretly: "Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, even if you become an emperor, it's the same..."

An hour passed quickly.Lu Chenhuan, who was riding on a tall horse, was full of vigor, waved the lance in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go!"

Nearly [-] forbidden troops immediately meandered...
