The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 87 Alien

After dinner, Zhao Tong and the Huo Army boiled several large pots of boiling water, first for the soldiers to drink, and second for the soldiers to wash their feet. According to the military regulations formulated by Zhao Tong, the water must be drunk except under special circumstances.

If you boil water, if you violate the rules, you will be served with a military stick at the least, and beheaded at the worst. This military rule has always been

It was strictly observed. Because Zhao Tong knew that in addition to fighting, another important reason for large-scale casualties in the army was epidemics. The large-scale non-combat attrition caused by epidemics caused the entire army to be wiped out. Examples not only occurred frequently in ancient times,

It is common even in modern armies.

Taking advantage of the free time after the meal, the soldiers were busy wiping and maintaining their weapons and tidying up their personal hygiene. Medical doctors from the health team also began to patrol the capitals to see if anyone was sick or injured. It was the cold winter season, and frostbite would occur if protection was not adequate.

At the same time, they used the Huo Army's cauldron to boil Chinese medicine and made a medicinal soup for everyone to take, even Zhao Tong was no exception.

This herbal soup is actually the "Xiang Zhi Yin" sold by street vendors in Tokyo. Its main function is to relax and harmonize the qi, and treat improper diet, loss of time when hungry and full, or too many cold things, or hard objects stuck in the body, or falling asleep after eating.

Worry and anger, or anger due to labor, disharmony between the spleen and stomach, stagnation of the three epigastrium, internal wind-cold, external cold evil, aversion to cold and strong heat, pain all over the body, fullness and tightness in the chest and diaphragm, cholera and vomiting, spleen pain and stomach upset...all

In the treatment of Xiangzhe drink

It can be said to be the ancient version of Tiger Balm. Especially for typhoid fever and headaches in the four seasons, as long as you drink it for three times and sweat, you can recover. Drinking Xiangzhi Yin regularly can also benefit the spleen and warm the stomach, disperse phlegm and stop drinking it, so that you can eat and vomit.

wind, cold, heat

, dampness, mist and dew. This thing doesn't cost a lot of money, but it can do big things with a small amount of money. If influenza breaks out in the army, it will not only be a matter of money, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go anywhere.

The doctors here are treating people, and the veterinarians there are also busy. They also go deep into the horses to check the health of the horses. Those who are sick are isolated and treated immediately, those who are injured are given medicine immediately, and the hooves need to be reshoeed.

The soldiers quickly went to the craftsman's team to change them. Then they had to check the newly purchased horse grass and feed. According to the use of the horses,

Adjust the ratio of fine materials to coarse materials according to the situation, so that the horses can maintain strong physical strength and work better the next day. This work is also very tiring. After all, they are cavalry, with war horses and carts carrying loads.

There are thousands of livestock, but they must also be inspected, otherwise the losses will be dealt with by military law.

At Youshizheng, all kinds of chores have been taken care of, and fires have been set up in the camps. In addition to the sentries on duty, all armies have begun to have evening classes in units of teams. This system began on the day Zhao Tao founded the new army.

I have persisted, and it is no exception to this day. In the past, the captain of each team could

Use evening classes to teach about the art of war, tactics, health and epidemic prevention, battlefield rescue and other knowledge, and you can also learn culture, but now the focus has shifted to wartime. The main content is wartime military law, the customs of the area to be reached, climate and geography, and facing the enemy.

This necessary knowledge of the combat characteristics.

However, the evening classes organized by Zhao Tong were fiercely opposed by the staff headed by He Qufei. Of course, their starting point was good. They believed that soldiers did not need to know too much, as long as they were in good health, good at martial arts, and willing to be obedient and loyal.

Just like that, in order to achieve the purpose of "foolish soldiers" who each perform their duties, that is to say, as long as the whole army has

A clear head is enough. Otherwise, if the soldiers know too much, they will have various thoughts and will no longer be obedient, which will affect their combat effectiveness. This view has long been criticized in the modern army, and Zhao Tao will naturally not because of them.

Despite his opposition, he followed the old path, but persisted to the present day and carried it forward.

In fact, Zhao Tong and He Qufei had more than just military differences. They also argued during the formation of the army. According to the army organization at this time, the art of war said: The husband and the soldiers are tired and brave, and cannot be confused as one, a warrior.

If you don't persuade, the tired soldiers will be defeated because of their tolerance, and they will go out without fighting.

Therefore, when soldiers have no choice of front, they call it north. Wu called it "relieving troubles", Qi called it "decision", and Tang called it "jiaodang". These are all other names for choosing a front, and the winning skills of soldiers have no precedence. Every army has it,

Then the general will organize all the camps and select elite men from each camp. Those who must be strong and outstanding in martial arts will be divided into separate teams. About ten people will be selected, one person will be selected, and ten thousand people will be selected.

charge.

There are also those who are brave and brave, who enjoy death and injury, and they gather into one pawn, and they are called those who take advantage of the sword; there are those who are strong, brave, and violent, and they gather into one pawn, and they are called those who are trapped in the formation; there are those who have extraordinary figures and long swords, and they are all in line, and they are called those who take the sword.

They gathered together into one soldier, and they were called brave men.

．

．

In addition, there are various categories such as those who are brave, those who are soldiers, those who fight to the death, those who are angry, those who are blunt, those who are destined to die, those who are reluctant to use, those who are waiting for orders, etc., and they are grouped together and distinguished according to etiquette.

And the thick one belongs to the general. If there is an emergency, he can be called upon according to the situation, so that everyone can do their best and try their best to achieve the effect!

This method of army formation does have its benefits in the era of cold weapons, but the strong will always be strong and the weak will become weaker. It is easy to say that they win.

If they are defeated, those who are weak will lose their military morale. Once the supervision is not effective, they will disperse in a rush, and even cause trouble.

Initiate a mutiny! However, except for his own special forces such as the Guards and Scouts, Zhao Tao's other troops are divided by profession, using strong and weak combinations, and organizing the troops in a way where the old leads the new. What is emphasized is equality, so that the combat power of each army is even.

, which is conducive to improving the overall combat effectiveness, and each skill has specialization, which is also easy to manage.

Another unusual aspect of the New Army is that officials are not greedy for money. Since ancient times, all dynasties have used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to win over generals, and generals also use various small favors to unite their subordinates. In this dynasty, local officials have added money, such as a

The magistrate gave him ten guan of money every month, two shi of rice, five shi of flour, meals for five servants, and feed for two horses.

In addition to additional money, the local government also gives "ministerial money" to the commander-in-chief, magistrate, magistrate, prefecture and county magistrate, supervisory officer and military commander, etc., providing the commander-in-chief with 200 guan per month.

, the governor controls 200 guan per month, the commander 150 guan per month, the general is 50 guan per month, and the general is 30 guan per month. This is

The money provided in this way becomes the official's personal entertainment expenses, which can be used privately, and becomes a considerable amount of disguised salary. In Zhao Tong's army, everyone consciously handed over the official money to the accounting department, except for public use, the balance was

All the money was used as food expenses to improve the lives of the soldiers in the headquarters. The minister's money is worthy of the name!

At about midnight, the lights-out signal sounded. In the camp, there was only a bonfire thirty steps away, and all the other fires were extinguished. A quarter of an hour later, except for the military academy on duty, no one could be seen in the huge camp. Zhao Tao

At this time, he has returned to his sleeping tent. He is the prince

Of course, the living area is larger, and people can stand up. A curtain divides the entire tent into two parts, and there is a felt blanket on the floor. The front is his office, which only has one lamp, a low table, and a cushion.

, behind the curtain is where he rests.

It was about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and it was already the time when dripping water turned into ice. At night, the temperature was even lower. Zhao Tao sat in the tent, rubbing his hands and examining the map spread on the table. They were thousands of miles away from Kaifeng to Taiyuan, the Hedong Road Administration Office.

Far away, according to the march route given by the Privy Council, Kaifeng-Zhengzhou-Huaizhou-Longde-Liao

Prefecture - Yuci - Taiyuan, passing through several prefectures, taking the traditional route, which was also the route that the Jin Army's West Route Army went south during the Jingkang Incident. They are cavalry troops. Although the weather is cold now, the roads are frozen solid, which is convenient for

With horses and vehicles traveling at a marching speed of seventy miles a day, it would take about half a month to arrive.

"Second Master, it's getting cold!" Just as Zhao Tao was studying the marching route, the door curtain suddenly opened, blowing in a gust of cold wind, and Zhao Xin walked in carrying a brazier and said.

"Be careful, don't burn it!" Zhao Tong quickly placed a pottery plate on the felt blanket. Zhao Xin carefully put down the brazier and covered it with a fire cage to prevent sparks from flying out and causing a fire.

"Second Master, you didn't eat out today, okay? I left your favorite barbecue for you. Sangou's cooking is getting more and more delicious, but he is very disappointed that you are not here tonight!" Zhao Xin said

Then he took out a paper package from the tent and opened it to reveal two pieces of roasted lamb leg.

"It smells very fragrant, let me take a bite!" Zhao Tao didn't plan to bring a chef, but He Qufei and Huang Jingchen refused to do it, saying how could the majestic prince not have a dedicated chef, so he had to bring Sangou and other people in the mansion.

Two cooks, in fact, Zhao Tong knew in his heart that it was their two mouths

He was being naughty and worried that he wouldn't be able to get used to the food cooked by the chef there when he arrived in the northwest. Zhao Tong thought about how old they were, and they still served him loyally, so he nodded. Now Sangou is nominally his

The chef actually became the 'royal chef' for the two of them and several staff!

"Don't be anxious, grill it before eating it, be careful not to get upset if you eat cold meat!" Zhao Xin opened the hand extended by the prince and placed the meat on the fire cage to bake.

"Who set up that small tent outside? It wasn't there when we camped!" Zhao Tong retracted his hand and asked.

"Wu Song was the one who set it up. He said he wanted to keep vigil for the prince. If anything happens, he can arrive in time!" Zhao Xin said while turning over the barbecue. After Wu Song was caught, Zhao Tong knew that if he didn't take action, he would have no choice but to be beheaded.

, so he calmly asked Konoe to use Li Daitao's method.

He secretly replaced the beaten half-dead Wu Song with a dead body of similar size. He then sent him to the ship to recuperate. It was not until he returned to Kaifeng that Wu Song slowly recovered. Zhao Tong then followed the instructions in the story.

Let him dress up as a tutu and live in the backyard next to Wang Laozhi.

"Haha, it must be that Lu Xiaoyao couldn't stand the smell of alcohol on his body and drove him out!" Zhao Tong said with a smile. There are only two people in this camp who are not bound by military law, namely Lu Xiaoyao and Wu Song.

When he went out to take office this time, Lu Xiaoyao thought that this time the prince was not going out to play, but was going to the battlefield. The old killer couldn't hold back the passion in his heart and wanted to come, and Wu Song wanted to repay his kindness and wanted to come out. Zhao Tong thought about them.

Both of them are geniuses and will definitely be of great use. Wu Song lives in Cai

It was not safe under the eyes of the family, but they did not want to be bound by military discipline, so they had to arrange a personal assistant for them to follow them, so there were two strangers around the prince, one of whom had a cold face all day long.

There are two handsome old boys, one is a drunkard who never leaves his hand.
