Chapter 102: Abandon all efforts? No, a new beginning!
Even though she was used to all kinds of looks at her, Zhiyao still felt a little awkward after training together.
There are all kinds of people in the Lao Zhi family, but they don't want to get into their hearts because Zhiyao is training with them. Many people secretly look at Zhiyao, this big shot, with crazy eyes.
That’s right!
Now is the era of pedigree. There is a certain kind of people who should enjoy all kinds of glory and wealth from the moment they are born. Some people think that asking for trouble is completely mentally ill.
"Gongsun is already extremely noble, why do you still do this?" Yu Rang held it in for a long time. He knew he shouldn't ask, but he still asked out his inner confusion.
Another day of training is over, and Zhiyao is no longer as exhausted as she was at the beginning due to more or less habit.
He is sorting out the military books he has written, mainly using his personal experience and what he has seen and heard to revise some of his previous assumptions.
This is a very rational behavior. If you write without personal experience, what you write is likely to be unrealistic. If you have personal experience and then see and listen with your own eyes, what you write will be more meaningful.
"Many of Zhu Xia's military books are actually about explaining strategies, and the pages related to military training have basically been deleted in all dynasties and generations..." Zhiyao was thinking while writing, and when he heard Yu Rang's question, he initially saw
He didn't seem to react. He looked at Yurang with doubtful eyes for a while before he realized what he was doing.
"So what if you are a distinguished person?" Zhiyao felt that saying this seemed to be showing off his background, so he paused and said, "A distinguished person urgently needs to restrain himself in order to achieve great things."
"When I was twelve years old, I sent out troops to fight against the princes. At first, I thought that I could sweep through thousands of armies with my family education. But during the war, I realized that it is not easy to scold the enemy. One command can save lives, and one command can kill people. Since I have taken it as my duty to regain the hegemony,
How can you slack off?" Zhiyao has an element of performance, and what she says is more of her inner consciousness.
As long as there is no civil strife in the Jin State, even if it cannot suppress all the princes, which country in the Central Plains can compete with the Jin State?
Therefore, if the Jin State can maintain internal unity, it will not have much problem to become the overlord of the Central Plains based on its own foundation.
However, Zhiyao knew very well that if there were enough external threats, the major families in the Jin Kingdom would temporarily put aside their disputes. Once the external threats were not great, they would have entered a stage of extreme strife, which would mean that they would not strengthen themselves or they would be destroyed at the hands of external princes.
, otherwise they will be killed by the families within the Jin Kingdom.
With this clear understanding, Zhiyao knew that doing something unique would be troublesome, so he still resolutely wanted to train three thousand elites and maintain them as a standing army belonging to the Zhi clan.
What does it mean? Zhiyao has trained 3,000 elites and will not disband them. They will maintain their organization and will use wartime management methods to restrict them during non-war times.
Since the beginning of the Xia Dynasty, it is not that there have been armies with standing troops, but similar armies are very rare and generally only strong kings have them.
It is difficult to study ancient examples. The closest ones are the "Left and Right Guang" of the King of Chu.
The most elite troops of the Chu State often played a vital role in fighting the Jin army.
After getting the answer, Yurang stopped talking and watched Zhiyao writing continuously, wondering what he was thinking about.
In the beginning, when there was no real mass training of manpower, Zhiyao thought that there was no need for physical training at all. She believed that people now have to do heavy work, and then those who are qualified to join the army usually train by themselves. However, it is obvious that this view
Know it is wrong.
After finishing deleting and adding pages for today, Zhiyao put down her pen and put the booklet close to her body, stood up and looked into the distance.
It was a relatively large school ground in a valley, and soldiers were being trained in several areas.
"The stone locks still need to be built, and the wood needs to be cut down." Zhiyao watched some soldiers using the stone locks to exert strength, and also saw several soldiers who were working together to carry the wood running hard.
Of course, the stone lock thing was not "invented" by Zhiyao. Someone had worked on it a long time ago, but only a few people knew about it.
The advantage of being born into a big family is fully demonstrated on Zhiyao's side. If he needs any orders, there are always people who think of ways to achieve them.
In less than ten days, a large number of stone locks divided into five kilograms, ten kilograms, fifteen kilograms, and twenty kilograms were manufactured and delivered. Bar locks ranging from fifty kilograms to two hundred kilograms were also produced in sufficient quantities.
Zhiyao and others have entered the stage of struggling to gain strength and no longer participate in the whole process.
After all, the body is not fully developed yet, and physical exercise is good for the body. If you work hard to exert yourself, you are afraid that you will not be short enough.
In addition to the stone locks, Zhiyao also made thick wood to increase the sense of community. She didn't make anything like parallel bars and horizontal bars. Instead, she passed on some exercise methods such as push-ups and gravity upwards.
The husband is faithfully recording the requirements mentioned by Zhiyao one by one, and will then issue tasks. Matters deemed important will be supervised personally.
"Training soldiers is very expensive!" Zhiyao muttered in a low voice.
Zhiyao did not let the people who were summoned eat the food he brought, and adopted the big pot rice supply model.
In one month, just one month, more than 300 sheep were eaten, and about 20 cattle were slaughtered. And the amount consumed was increasing every day, and it did not include other grains.
Regarding the fact that Zhiyao provided food, what they received was not gratitude. On the contrary, most people felt extremely uneasy.
Their identities are either "scholars" or "disciples", not "envy" who are both soldiers and farmers.
As "Xian", to put it bluntly, it is still the owner's property. After being recruited, the owner prepares weapons, armor and other equipment, and then provides logistical support. In this way, any achievements made will be discounted, and there is no right to distribute the spoils.
.
The "scholars" and "disciples" who are self-armed and bring their own dry food, although they prepare everything by themselves, are not only exempted from paying taxes, but are also eligible to share the profits of the spoils, and can get full rewards for their merits.
The reason why people in the training camp feel uneasy is that firstly they mistakenly believe that they are being treated as "envy", and secondly there is a strong psychological resistance to losing complete freedom.
Zhiyao, who gradually realized that something was wrong, was a little confused.
I was given food, drink, and a chance to become stronger. I didn't get the gratitude I expected. Instead, I got a lot of suspicion. What's going on!?
"I will return to 'Xintian' tomorrow." Zhiyao felt that there was a mistake and it should be corrected. She had to go to Zhizhuo to have a good talk.
Cheng Shuo, who was sitting aside, was confused and asked, "What happened?"
Zhiyao shook her head and did not answer.
Now he really realizes that he was wrong. It was not a mistake in wanting to train an elite force, but a mistake in finding the wrong source of troops!
"Scholars" and "disciples" are considered members of the vested interest class. They feel that their original treatment is quite good. Even if they want to become stronger, they have strong autonomy and clear goals. They are not elite troops in terms of pursuit.
As a member, what they want is to benefit the family as quickly as possible.
"Zhong You." Zhi Yao called out, waited for Zi Lu to look over, and said, "In the next few days, everyone can return to their respective places. You and Zi must handle this matter well."
ah?
Zilu could understand that Zhiyao wanted to let all the people who came for training leave. Their destination would be to go to the war zone, join the new territory that the old Zhijia would get, and maybe go to the east to fight the Qi army.
It's just that he didn't understand how Zhiyao could choose to give up all the people he gathered after having spent so much effort and making sufficient preparations.
Zhiyao also did not explain to Zilu, and thought to herself: "These people want too much. Even if they can be cultivated in the end, the cost will be too high. Although I will have subsequent gains, it will be far from what I can achieve."
The goal you want to achieve.”
It is obvious that you have chosen the wrong source of troops. If you want to give up, you should not hesitate at all. The right thing to do is to quickly recruit more suitable sources of troops.
Twelve days later.
Zhiyao returned to "Xintian" and met Zhao Bolu when he was about to enter the city gate.
They haven't seen each other for nearly four months. If they meet by chance, they will definitely get together to chat.
The chat venue was set up not far from the city gate.
Although it was an accidental meeting, the children of a big family should have no less pomp and circumstance. In short, it is impossible to find a place casually. Even if it is the last time, a layer of tall straw mats must be laid out, and two tables must be placed, face to face.
We were sitting and chatting.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, or Wei Ju and Han Geng received the news later, and they rushed over from behind.
"When Bolu comes back this time, will he leave again without getting together?" Wei Ju had this question after hearing some words from Zhiyao.
After a burst of hearty laughter, Zhao Bolu said: "Give me a 'division' and go to attack the 'origin'."
That "original" one was close to the Zhou royal family, and there are still people from the Fan family holding on to it.
According to the distribution plan reached by the four "Qings", "Yuan" was assigned to the Zhao family. What is surprising is that Zhao Yang actually gave the important task of winning "Yuan" to Zhao Bolu, the eldest son.
For a moment, Zhiyao was thinking: "'Originally' was a big city. Even if the Fan family is now defeated, can a 'division' of troops be able to take it down?"
Zhao Bolu looked very excited and felt confident that he would lead his troops to conquer "Yuan".
Seeing how confident Zhao Bolu was, Zhiyao and Wei Ju looked at each other.
Zhiyao thought in confusion: "Zhao Yang wants Zhao Bolu to see clearly his abilities? Or has he arranged a plan to win the 'Yuan' early and is waiting for Zhao Bolu to go there and reap the fruits of victory?"
If it is the former possibility, it is obvious that Zhao Bolu is shaky on the throne of the Crown Prince; if it is the latter possibility, it is clear that Zhao Yang is going to help Zhao Bolu accumulate reputation.
Of course Zhiyao hoped for the second possibility, but he really didn't think Zhao Yang would do that, so he had to think carefully about how to deal with the possible changes in the situation of the Zhao family.
