Chapter 41 Perfection
"I heard that you have been training soldiers for half a month, which is good. Tielin is so beautiful, and I sleep much more peacefully." In the festival hall, after Li Kan finished handling his official duties, he smiled at Shao Shude who walked in.
"The commander-in-chief is joking. The prince is entrusted by the imperial court to recruit envoys to the north camp. He will be stationed in the east of the river and the northern capital will be left behind. Even if there are some soldiers who are domineering and just seeking money, how can they hurt the prince at all?" Shao Shude's words are a bit confusing.
Shi, Hedong Bing
Now he is not only domineering, he is simply rebellious, and is only a thin line away from what Li Guochang and his son did. But he doesn't quite understand Li Kan's personality, and he doesn't know whether he likes to hear the truth or just flattery.
.
"There are some arrogant and powerful generals who just don't take me seriously and don't take the court seriously..." Li Kan sighed, stood up, looked at the solemn hall, and said: "If you say they are...
Rebellious, but they are also willing to fight with the Datong rebels
Fighting. If you say they are loyal and obedient, the two commanders-in-chief of Hedong both met a miserable end. Oh, and there was Dou Han, but they knew what they were doing and they were willing to obey these military leaders. For this reason, they even borrowed money from merchants to barely survive.
If you don't die, you can escape with your whole body intact."
"If this Hedong Jieshuai just wants to be a puppet, it is not impossible to stay safe. But if he wants to make a difference, it will be extremely difficult." Li Kan patted the case hard and said with a hint of anger:
"Hedong resort, a famous town in the world, has one prefecture, seven states and forty
A county has 150,000 to 60,000 households and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but they don’t want to exterminate the rebellious ministers and traitors. They just want to be a local tyrant behind closed doors. Killing generals and chasing commanders, despising the court, how is it different from rebellion? Lieutenant General Shao, tell me
, does Hedong belong to the imperial court or the generals?"
"Hedong generals have been married for generations. In fact, it's not just the top brass. I heard from the former Zhaoyi soldiers in the capital that even the lower-level soldiers and generals are in the same boat and reject outsiders. When we guest troops come, we are really not human beings inside and outside.
No wonder the soldiers in the towns are demoralized and unwilling to fight to the death." Shao Shude glanced at Li Kan and saw that he was indeed dissatisfied with the intricate local forces in Hedong, so he followed his words.
Soldiers and horses from Zhaoyi, Zhongwu, Yiwu, Yicheng, and Heyang towns came all the way according to the order, but the people in Hedong treated them as thieves and guarded them. You thought you were here to help them drive away the Datong rebels, but others thought you were
Those who came to seize territory and plunder property targeted you at every turn and showed their distrust. If you were a guest who came to help me, wouldn’t I be so angry? If you help me with my bird punch, these bullshit Hedong generals should be punished by Li.
Ke should take good care of it.
"Vice General Shao, I want to refresh myself on the Hedong incident. You have to be prepared." After sighing for a long time, Li Kan suddenly said. And his words also made Shao Shude feel trembling. This is going to happen.
Establish your authority! Cao Xiang also killed people back then
After establishing his power, there is no need to say how it will end. At that time, they still had more than 3,000 Zhaoyi elite soldiers as backup. Now that Li Kan has taken office alone, the only ones who can help are the 1,200 soldiers of Tielindu. The future is promising.
It's really dangerous and unpredictable.
After leaving the festival hall, Shao Shude returned to the camp with a lot of worries. The officers in the camp were discussing something enthusiastically. Shao Shude took a look and found that mainly the old people from Xicheng had been promoted to the rank of team captain. Unfortunately, Li Kan
No
I don't know if he forgot or something, but he still hasn't solved the rank issue for Shao Shude. He is still a deputy general so far, so it is difficult for him to promote his subordinates. Well, let's take a look at it later. If you don't promote him to a tenth general, how will Tielin do it for you?
Working hard?
It is said that since the annexation of hundreds of Zhaoyi soldiers, Shao Shude has also learned a lot through constant conversations and studies. The Zhaoyi infantry is famous far and wide for its own reasons. In addition to the fact that the soldiers dare to fight and are skilled in battle formations,
, their grassroots composition is also somewhat different.
Taking the most basic fifty-man team as an example, the Tiande Army is divided into five fires, with ten men in each fire. The team is wearing a flag on its back to facilitate identification on the battlefield. But the Zhaoyi Army is different. They stipulate that every three soldiers in the team
People who are "self-satisfied" become one
The small teams were combined into three small teams, and the successful ones were combined into a squadron, and the fifth squadron was combined into a large team, so there were 45 people. The remaining 5 people were one leader, one deputy, one person holding the flag, and two flags on the left and right.
One person each, exactly 50 people.
Shao Shude thought for a while, this organization seemed more flexible, and the team leader no longer had to stupidly put a recognition flag on his back, like a beacon. So he decided to humbly learn from the Zhaoyi Army's organization, and do the same in Tielin City.
.A small team of three people, if they are like-minded and cooperate tacitly, one person holds a long-handled ax or wooden pole, one person holds a hook and sickle, and the other
It is indeed more efficient for people to use horizontal swords to kill cavalry that breaks the formation. In the battle with Daibei Shatuo, dealing with cavalry is an insurmountable obstacle. The Tiande army mainly relies on cavalry to defeat cavalry, and Zhaoyi Town does not have that many cavalry.
Then we can only find a way to resist riding with foot. Their experience has been summed up in many wars and cannot be taken lightly.
In addition, there are now a city of people, and it is no longer the previous model of small fights. When there are thousands of people, everything becomes complicated, and there are many pots and pans. It is necessary to set up dedicated people to manage. For example, when it comes to eating, I followed the Tiande Army
Eat together with the army, and eat with the army supervisor when we are in the prison camp
, but now it is a city of its own. You have to open fire, cook, and have utensils and personnel. When I went to Xizhou to welcome Li Kan, to be honest, it was a bit chaotic. I temporarily assigned people to collect wood and cook, and I was so busy that I was dizzy.
At that time, there were 600 people, but now the number has doubled, and it must be regularized.
I didn’t say anything, but Li Yanling was in charge of this matter. A horse bowl with a capacity of three liters was used for warm food in winter, felt fur, raincloth and rope were used for camping. In addition, there were knives, pliers, pliers, locks, medicine bags, and salt bags.
, bag of flint, untying hammer, sharpening stone, shovel, hammer, axe, saw, chisel, etc., all are indispensable. Without any of them, you will encounter inconvenience during marching and fighting, and it may affect the outcome of victory or defeat.
Shao Shude asked Li Yanling to select more than fifty people to serve as captains of the newly established baggage corps. These people generally do not need to participate in battles. They are mainly responsible for management, using these special logistics equipment, and directing auxiliary troops or civilian support to work. By the way.
, cooking or taking care of livestock are also their jobs, if there are no auxiliary soldiers to drive them. There are also four craftsmen in the baggage team, from the Zhaoyi Army, who can simply repair damaged ordnance. They are considered professionals, and it is not easy to get them.
In addition to the logistics team, Tielindu also organized 22 teams of infantry, totaling 1,100 people, with an armor wearing rate (iron armor) of more than 30%. This is the main force. There are dozens of people left to serve as drummers, corner bearers, and flag bearers.
, door guards, messengers, sentries, patrols, etc. It is a pity that Cai Songyang's group of soldiers are still in Lanzhou, otherwise there would also be a military law enforcement team.
The regularization of the army is so complicated. When I was a soldier in the Tiande Army, I just followed the superior officer for meals. If the equipment broke, I just sent it for repair. When I ran out of things, I just went to pick them up. I didn't think it was too much trouble. But
After I became the master of my own affairs, I found that there were a lot of things waiting for me, which was really overwhelming.
However, this is also an inevitable step in transformation and improvement. You can't just be a little soldier who relies on others all your life, right? You have to be on your own, always try to handle things independently, and try to take this step. People are forced to come out.
, you don’t know how far you can go unless you push hard.
At this point in Tielindu, it has just begun to take shape. It can exist as an independent army and has the necessary conditions to fight alone. Shao Shude is very pleased with this. He has indeed made a lot of money by incorporating the Zhaoyi Army and helped him solve the problem of regularization.
It was a big problem. He sometimes thought about how he was running west with hundreds of people before, and there was no one responsible for setting up camp, no one responsible for cooking, and even the sentinels were temporarily assigned people to look out from high places. What kind of situation is this?
Crude, how irritating to the eyes.
Paralysis, we can’t do this again in the future! We must strengthen our studies and constantly master new knowledge, not only battle formation knowledge, but also military management knowledge, meteorological knowledge, geographical knowledge, logistics knowledge, etc., we must master them all. Those who don’t understand
Just ask others for advice, or work together to discuss the details, and then form a system and improve it. Otherwise, your army will be like a castle on the beach, without a foundation, and it will be destroyed in an instant.
After improving the army's establishment and formation, Tielin launched large-scale military training due to the support of Commander Li Kan. In fact, they are all veterans and know everything they need to know, but the meaning of military training itself is not just to become familiar with combat skills.
, but also to strengthen the general's prestige, so that orders can be passed down from top to bottom, just like an arm using a finger.
Shao Shude went out with the sergeants as usual, and he must let everyone see him, know him, and respect him. More than a month passed in this way, and Tielin was roughly in shape. During this period, Li
Kan was able to keep his composure, and did not start trouble with the mutinous military leaders as Shao Shude feared. Instead, he planned to take advantage of it slowly, which was good.
On the fifth day of May, because he heard that Li Guochang had led more than 10,000 troops to Daizhou, Li Kan finally took action. He personally ordered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Hedong stationed in and outside Jinyang City, and Tielindu served as a bodyguard.
Went to Daizhou to patrol the border.
