I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 314 Expedition and Ten Kill Orders

The discipline on the battlefield was formulated by Zhao Xi very early on, and it was also implemented in the guard battalion and even the new army.

Zhao Xi formulated detailed battlefield disciplines based on reality and in combination with future generations.

For example, when confiscating spoils of war, he let go of the ownership of non-military materials, that is to say, whoever seizes it counts.

For example, regarding the issue of killing prisoners, he stipulated how those who were discovered and reported killing prisoners should be held accountable, and did not stipulate that prisoners should not be killed.

But the Ten Killing Orders were all copied.

Those who run away from the battle, those who see death and do not save them, those who are greedy for life and fear death, those who defect to the enemy, those who delay the war plan, those who disobey military orders, those who leak military plans, those who lie about the military situation, and those who shake the morale of the army, all will be killed!
Zhao Xi intends to build an iron army, which requires clear and enforceable disciplines, which cannot be too arbitrary as it is today.

At this time, Zhao Xi also presented all the articles of association that he had drawn up to all the ministers.

In a sense, this meeting, this pre-war headquarters meeting, should finalize many war-related matters.

When Zhao Xi formulated the relevant regulations, he first adopted opinions from the soldiers, and then communicated with the teaching of the guard battalion many times, and even Di Qing was deeply involved.

Basically, the door that should be opened is opened, the door that should be closed is closed, and an appropriate point has been chosen in terms of discipline and humanity.

feasible!This is a judgment on all Zhao Xi's charters.

To be honest, whether it is war or peacetime, the management of the army is mostly due to the proportion of rule of man, or it depends entirely on rule of man.

After all, those soldiers are all illiterate and reckless, and no literati is willing to throw away their literary talents and write regulations for the army that are suitable for reckless people to understand.

And Zhao Xi didn't care about this, and was used to explaining it in straightforward words.

……

It's finally time to set off.

Farewell is the story and practice before the expedition.

Zhao Zhen was a little worried, and so was the empress.On the contrary, the women in the Eastern Palace seem to be much calmer... My man said that even among the millions of chaotic troops, he has a chance of surviving.

The trust in Zhao Xi has almost reached the point of blindness, so the East Palace is much calmer about Zhao Xi's expedition than the official family and empress.

"Father, mother, just wait for the child to report success, this battle will surely be the beginning of our Great Song's victory!"

Not only to comfort the hearts of parents, but also there is no need to be humble at this time.War requires a top-down determination to move forward.

Zhao Zhen didn't play any ceremony for his son... He still didn't know what to do. He didn't want to lose his son's influence among the people and even the courtiers if he lost this time.

Appointing Di Qing before the battle, Zhao Zhen had a premeditated plan to let Di Qing take the blame in the end.

It's a pity that it wasn't considered a success. Di Qing only assumed the title of deputy commander in chief at the front line. That is to say, the main responsibility for the victory or defeat of this war rests with his son.

"You are the most important thing in everything! Xi'er, your responsibility is not one or two battles, but the entire kingdom..."

Zhao Xi understands that the old man thinks and says this way, and this is also the principle.

The imperial court did not hold an expedition ceremony, and there was not even any publicity like that during the Southern Expedition.

This point is the consensus of the emperor and the Zhengshitang.The long-term defeat has made them afraid to do those rituals that will eventually become a joke.

However, the constant urgent deliveries, court hall like a colander, and the fight against Xia have been known by the whole Bianliang.

Similarly, people's expectations for the Eastern Palace Guard Battalion have never diminished in recent years.

From the moment the first beacon was lit, people waited and watched in front of the gate of the guard camp every day...

The moment the guard battalion stopped entering and leaving and closed the gate, everyone knew... the guard battalion was about to go out.

Still in Yinshi, Zhao Xi still chose to set off without disturbing the people.

However, when the entire guard battalion came out of the gate of the guard camp, from the gate of the guard camp to outside the west gate of Bianliang City, both sides of the spacious street were densely packed with people...

The guard battalion moved forward silently, and people just watched silently. Except for the orderly footsteps of the guard battalion soldiers, the whole street seemed like no one else.

Seeing the soldiers of the guard battalion passing by, the people did not leave, but followed spontaneously, with messy footsteps, but they followed silently.

Again, no one is born a bitch.

It's not that the people of Guochao really like to live intoxicated, dreaming and dying, nor that the people of the Li people can accept the court's foreign compromise policy, but the failure of the Guochao for many years, so that the Li people have to accept the fact that they are not as good as others.

Over the years, the amazing performances of the guard battalion time and time again aroused hope among the people of the country, hoping that the Western Expedition led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would bring them a chance to face foreigners with pride.

"Kill the thief! Show off the country's prestige!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, just like that, as if it was the fuse to light a firecracker...

In an instant, the whole Bianliang boiled!
"Kill the thief! Show off the country's prestige!"

"Kill the thief! Show off the country's prestige!"

……

Everyone yelled...

Zhao Xi's eyes were moist.To be honest, in any era, there are no unworthy people, only... Forget it, don't mention it.

"Your Highness..."

All the teachers of the guard battalion went out with the army this time, including Xue Xiang and Li Jie, who will take charge of the transportation of Zizhong and grain.

This is the first time that Lu Gong's work is a little choked up. This is not only a farewell, but also a kind of expectation!
"It's already like this, then we will tell the people that this battle will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"

arrogant and arrogant

Hot blood beats red sun

Courage is like iron and bone is like steel
……

With a lead song, thousands of guard battalion soldiers sang this song in unison, A man should strengthen himself!

Outside the west gate, the ministers and workers of the court stood in an orderly manner.

The sound of "Kill the western thieves and promote the country's prestige" has already shocked them... The country has fought countless battles, and has never seen each other off like this, and there is no old example of the people speaking out to strengthen the courage of the soldiers.

This time...

Immediately afterwards, I heard thousands of people in the guard battalion singing "A man should strive for self-improvement!"

To be honest, even at the age of knowing the destiny, facing such a scene, I can't help but feel excited.

"A long way to go!"

"What the people want, what the people hope, and what the people expect. Zhigui, maybe the strategy of the country really needs to be changed!"

How many times have you suffered disastrous defeats in battles, and how much complaints have been accumulated by the people of the country after 20 years of silence?
With the people spontaneously lining the road to see them off, it seems that the courtiers' see-offs are dispensable.

All the gentlemen just patted Zhao Xi's shoulder silently... It seemed that all the words were piled up in this pat.

In fact, Zhao Xi wanted them to punch him in the chest even more. That was the farewell ceremony that should be done when going out for an expedition.

Dozens of carriages were parked, the hatches were opened, and the drivers were in place...

"Wan Sheng!"

Zhao Xi stroked her chest with her right hand, bowed slightly, and shouted.Then all the soldiers of the guard battalion suddenly stood at attention...

"Wan Sheng!"

"Exit..."
