Chapter 457 Military Exercises
Du Wenhao smiled, it turned out that there was a backstage, and asked: "What's your name?"

"The last general, Wu Ren, is the commander of the Sima Army's tea and wine squad in front of the palace."

The tea and wine class is equivalent to the logistics minister of the Sima Army in front of the palace.No wonder he looks so fat and big ears.

Du Wenhao really didn't pay attention to Prince Cao, Wu Ren's backer. Back then, he took Prince Cao hostage and cut a gash on his neck with a knife, and later drove his brother, Prince Yong, crazy up.

However, Prince Cao is the real son of the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao after all, he doesn't look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha, and if he wants to beat her son's wife and brother, he has to take care of his face.After hesitating for a moment, I couldn't help but look back at the group of senior generals behind me, and found a few casual sarcasm smiles on the corners of their mouths. The smiles clearly said, you are just bullying us who have no background. If you really want to meet someone with a background Man, you are still staring!

Du Wenhao's heart sank. If this matter cannot be resolved, don't expect to rectify military discipline in the future.

At this time, Wang Runxue also said in a low voice: "My lord, you must stop, and you will definitely suffer from chaos!"

Du Wenhao looked at Zhao Lan, the Princess of Qin, they are relatives, to see what she would say.Zhao Lan smiled, stuck out her tongue mischievously, but nodded slightly.

The two beauties support their own actions, but the key is the third beauty, the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao. For Gao Taotao, Du Wenhao is sure that she will support him, and she is only the wife and brother of Prince Cao. Not Prince Cao himself.

Therefore, Du Wenhao decided to do it, and he wanted to spare no sympathy.

He let out a long laugh, and said in a loud voice on purpose: "Prince Cao understands the righteousness, and will never protect you for your violation of military discipline. Come here! Execute!"

The army law soldiers pushed Wu Ren down on the street, rounded up his military stick and beat him hard.Wu Ren started begging for mercy, but after the real fight, he bit his lip and remained silent.The onlookers were still laughing at the beginning, but when they saw how tough he was, they couldn't help but stop laughing, and they could only hear the crackling sound of the army stick hitting the skin and flesh.

Du Wenhao looked at the few military officers who had shown sarcasm and smiles just now, and they were all stunned at the moment. The sarcasm and smiles had long since disappeared, and turned into expressions of awe.The other officers also looked at each other with solemn faces.

Du Wenhao knew that this trick had already received very good results.

Du Wenhao said with a sneer, "Wu Ren, what do you have to say?"

Wu Ren bit his lips in pain, and his thighs were bloody.Panting heavily, he said, "The last general..., the last general deserves what he deserves...!"

"Okay, it's good to know you're wrong, I hope you can remember this lesson!"

Du Wenhao got off his horse and waved his hand to let the guards carry his outpatient box. Since the last time he inspected the barracks, a soldier was accidentally injured but couldn't find a suitable way to deal with it. , At the same time, he asked his guards to keep his outpatient box with him at any time, just in case.

He carried the outpatient kit and came to Wu Ren who was lying on the side of the street to treat his wound.

The military doctor who accompanied the team hurried over to take over. Du Wenhao waved him away, opened the consultation box, took out the scissors, cut open Wu Ren's bloody trousers, and cleaned the wound with disinfectant.

Wu Ren struggled and said: "You can't do it, the general! The last general's injury...it's nothing, just go back and find the doctor to wrap it up..."

Du Wenhao patted him on the shoulder: "Look at you, you're a man. You didn't make a sound when you got the baton. Okay! This general appreciates it very much, so I personally healed you. Don't move!"

After Du Wenhao carefully cleaned the wound with disinfectant, he poured his homemade golden medicine containing notoginseng powder, and wrapped the wound with sterile gauze.Then he patted Wu Ren on the shoulder: "Okay, skin trauma, no problem, can you insist on inspecting military exercises with this general?"

The Duke of Tangtang Town, the three Yamens were all checked, and the governor of the court personally wrapped his wounds. Wu Ren was already so moved that his nose was snot and his saliva was splashing, and he choked and said, "General..., the last general is crawling, and he has to crawl." Follow the general to inspect...!"

"Okay! It's a man! Come here, find a soft couch, carry him, and inspect the military exercise with this general!"

The army law soldier agreed, ran to find a soft couch, carried Wu Ren, and walked out of the city gate amidst the applause of the crowd.

Wang Runxue smiled at Du Wenhao in a low voice: "My lord, this move of yours is really good. You not only enforced the military law and rectified military discipline, but also bought people's hearts. I can guarantee that this guy will follow you with all his heart in the future! Other generals will also follow you." Be grateful, when you are a coach, you must be kind and powerful, so that your subordinates respect and fear you."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I didn't intend to buy people's hearts to heal his wounds. Originally, I wanted to beat him with the army stick and drive him home. Seeing how tough he is, I also admired him a little bit, so I did it temporarily. Decided to heal him."

"I think you are still very talented in commanding the army, that's it, very good!"

Du Wenhao smiled. He knew that it was not enough to build a strong and invincible army.There is so much to do.

After a short trip out of the city, we finally arrived at the training ground.

This is a special venue for military exercises, but the armaments were disarmed before, and it has been abandoned for many years.It was only after Du Wenhao made the decision for the autumn military exercise that this place was reorganized.

At this moment, the military exercise field was already crowded with people, banners were flying, and all the forbidden troops designated to participate in the exercise were already in place.

Du Wenhao led senior generals above the army to the parade platform and sat down. Naturally, Wang Runxue and Zhao Lan could not sit on the platform, and stood on the side of the parade platform with Du Wenhao's guards.Although they are all outstanding in appearance, especially Wang Runxue, who is even more stunning, but because the two of them are dressed in military uniforms and cannot distinguish between men and women, others think that they are two guards.

On the other side of the long parade stand, there were more than a dozen military commanders, all of whom were randomly selected by Du Wenhao from the military commanders of the Forbidden Army participating in the military exercise, as the referees for this military exercise.

The military exercise is divided into two parts. The first part is that the troops of the Forbidden Army conduct attacks, detours, retreats, defenses, and various formation changes under the command of the capital, battalion, and army; the second part is the combination of various arms. Offensive and defensive drills.

In the era of cold weapons, it is extremely important to follow the command of all actions. Only a well-disciplined and unified army can exert the overall strength of group operations. In the battle between the two armies, local forces can quickly form an advantage in strength, thereby defeating the enemy and winning. Therefore, the ancient military The most important thing in the exercise is to test the level of the army's obedience to orders.

The exercise of obeying military orders is divided into two parts. The first part is ordinary obeying orders. The military commander gives orders, the military commander uses military flags to command, and military musicians use drums and gongs to play music with different rhythms, representing different orders.Soldiers implement tactical actions according to these orders.

When conducting drills with the capital as the unit, since there are only a hundred people, there are relatively few people who listen to orders wrongly, but when conducting coordinated drills with the battalion as the unit, one battalion has five capitals, each of which has its own military music command team , The orders will interfere with each other, how to distinguish their own command orders is a severe test, and the number of soldiers who listen to the wrong orders and act wrongly increases significantly.

However, when the army is used as a unit to conduct group army combat formation exercises, there are more mistakes in listening to orders. Some armies are even in a mess, pushing each other, or standing there stupidly with guns and knives in their hands. what to do.

Du Wenhao kept watching with a sullen face, without saying a word.

When it was time for lunch, Du Wenhao ordered the performance to be suspended, and he took a break for half an hour to eat.

Du Wenhao and his senior officers had prepared a banquet in the barracks of the training ground, but Du Wenhao didn't go to eat. He walked down the high platform with his hands behind his back, and checked the soldiers' situation one by one.Those senior generals above the army had no choice but to follow behind him.

The soldiers were sitting on the ground, eating the dry food they brought, and when they saw them coming, they all stood up and saluted.Du Wenhao shook hands and greeted the soldiers who performed outstandingly in the drill just now, and asked the soldiers who were particularly outstanding, their names and unit numbers, and asked the secretary who followed him to record them.

Du Wenhao saw a thick and strong soldier eating a wheat cake with water, so he asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

The soldier grinned honestly and nodded.

Du Wenhao looked around and saw that the soldiers were holding the same wheat cakes in their hands, and asked, "Is this wheat cake uniformly distributed by the army?"

Li Pu, the deputy commander of the capital who was following behind him, hurriedly said: "Yes, this is the dry ration for marching and fighting."

"How much can you carry at a time?"

"It is stipulated that an individual soldier can carry a maximum of five days at a time. If there is too much, it will not be able to carry it."

Du Wenhao nodded, stretched out his hand, and said to the stout soldier, "Give me a taste!"

The soldier panicked and wanted to pass the half-eaten pancake to Du Wenhao, but felt that it was not right, so he quickly bent down to put the pancake down, took out a clean piece of wheat pancake from the dry food bag, and handed it to Du Wenhao with both hands.

Du Wenhao took it and took a bite. It was very thick and dry, and the taste was very bad. It reminded him of the black-faced steamed bun that Xue Fei'er found for him when he just crossed over.

Du Wenhao didn't frown, and ate a piece of wheat cake with relish with a smile.The surrounding soldiers saw that the majestic Zaizhi was eating dry food that was hard for the army to swallow, and they all looked at him with reverence. Du Wenhao took the soldier's water bottle and drank it like a cow. , a soldier who was born in a farmer.

Du Wenhao wiped his mouth after drinking, and asked the stout soldier who gave him the wheat cake just now: "Is this wheat cake delicious?"

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then nodded foolishly.

Du Wenhao smiled and shook his head, "You're lying, tell the truth!"

The soldier and the soldiers next to him looked at each other, scratched their heads, and said, "I can swallow it, but the taste is worse than my wife's."

The surrounding soldiers roared with laughter.
