The military camp is an important military area. No unauthorized entry is allowed without instructions. Those who violate the prohibition will be severely punished. When Zhao Han entered the camp Sima of his father Zhao Chongguo, he was imprisoned. Although Zhao Han and Zhao Chongguo are father and son, they are not allowed to enter the military camp without permission.
, from this we can see the strictness of military law.
With the three camp commanders Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, and Liu Xiu personally greeting him, Liu Jing could naturally pass unimpeded. He stepped on the creaking wooden planks and crossed the trench, which was more than a foot wide, and entered the camp.
As a man of two generations, the only thing he had to do with the military was military training. Walking in this simple ancient military camp, Liu Jing felt novel and looked around with great interest.
Liu Liang also showed great interest. When he was at home, he used to gather boys as a group, often making fun of military battle formations. Anyone who disobeyed would be punished with bamboo poles and sticks. No boy dared to disobey.
In the Han Dynasty, this kind of behavior could be regarded as a "special talent". It was precisely because of this that he was valued by Liu Jing and trained well.
However, Liu Liang was disappointed that the military camp in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined. Looking around, he saw a dusty scene. Because it was still young, there were only a dozen or twenty camps built, and the main body was made of bamboo and wood.
The main purpose was obviously to collect materials nearby. There were hundreds of military tents densely distributed around the barracks.
Just in terms of overall momentum, it doesn't look like a military center at all, and it's not as spectacular as Liu's Wu.
Not only that, but the soldiers also disappointed him. The clothes they wore were not uniform in style or color. The only thing that was acceptable was that they all had red turbans on their heads, giving them the appearance of soldiers.
In fact, this is what Cai Sheng cannot tolerate the most. He personally has a good face and likes beautiful clothes and finery, but now his subordinates are dressed in tatters and disarray, which is not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.
Regarding the clothing issue of the soldiers, Liu Jing has already started to solve it. He purchased a large amount of cloth in Linxiang City a few days ago and hired people to make crimson clothes, vines, etc. It will not take long for the soldiers to wear them.
A brand new outfit.
Soon, Liu Jing and Liu Liang discovered five or six soldiers tied to tree stumps side by side. Liu Jing was deeply touched when he saw that they were covered in blood and looked like they were dying. He couldn't help but turn around and ask Liu Xiu, Cai Sheng, and Ma Zhou.
Said: "What crime have they committed?"
When Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou heard this, their faces showed unbearable expressions.
Liu Xiu replied seriously: "Huaguan, night march." Liu Jing was not familiar with military affairs, and Liu Xiu was afraid that he would not understand, so he explained: "Huaguan means making noise, and it is a taboo in the army."
Liu Jing frowned slightly. After all, these were five or six living lives. Just because of a "little thing", he had to pay the price of his life. How could he be indifferent?
Wealth is absolutely true!"
Liu Xiu glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said: "Wei Liao Zi" said: 'In ancient times, those who were good at using soldiers, who could kill half of them, were powerful in the sea, and those who killed thirteen were powerful in the princes.
, Kill eleven of them and order the soldiers to move." "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "If you are thick but can't be used, if you love but can't command, if you are chaotic but can't control it, you are like a proud man, you can't use it." Especially when the camp is first established, the soldiers used to be lax.
Yes, we must impose strict laws, otherwise it will not be enough to control the people."
In fact, Liu Xiu himself is not a person who likes to use cruel military methods to control his soldiers, but there is no way. He is a disabled person. If he cannot establish his majesty from the beginning, he will not be able to lead this soldier at all.
Therefore, these soldiers who broke the law could only admit that they were unlucky and were killed by Liu Xiu to scare the monkeys and deter the morale of the army.
"Brother Cong makes sense." Liu Jingcheng nodded and said nothing more. Liu Xiu acted completely in accordance with military law and did nothing wrong.
In fact, it is not impossible to apply strict laws, but you must not be blindly harsh. The correct way to lead an army is to use kindness and power together. Liu Xiu is familiar with the art of war and has also served as an officer. I believe Liu Jing should be aware of this without having to tell him.
Liu Jing walked into the camp and sat on the main seat without hesitation. Others also took their seats. Liu Xiu asked: "Zhongda, do you want to meet the general?"
A garrison general is in charge of a group of men and horses. His official name is the garrison commander, also known as a hundred-man general. As the name suggests, he commands a hundred people. There are currently ten garrison generals in the camp.
Liu Jing thought for a while, but still shook his head and refused. With the help of Liu Xiu, Cai Sheng, and Ma Zhou, he could control the whole camp. There was no need to show his presence too much. At least at this stage, he should still
Try to be as low-key as possible.
Liu Xiu and Cai Sheng regarded Liu Jing's performance as their trust in themselves, and they all sighed in their hearts. Liu Jing trusted them so much, and a scholar died for his confidant, that's all.
Liu Jing asked Liu Xiudao: "Brother Cong, have you started training soldiers now?"
Liu Xiu nodded and said: "The soldiers have been training since the first day they arrived here, usually for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, and the rest of the time is spent building forts."
Liu Jing felt something in his heart when he heard this, and said: "Then I will stay until the afternoon to see how Brother Cong's training goes."
Liu Xiudao: "Soldiers were either country fools or frivolous knights. After many days of training, supplemented by strict laws, they were able to recognize flags, queue in an orderly manner, not make noise, and not be restless. Distinguish flags."
The first lesson for ancient soldiers after joining the army is that only when soldiers understand the difference between flags can they "tie them up".
At present, the battalion sergeants have completed the first lesson of "Distinguishing Flags" and officially started the second phase of "Trial of Golden Drums". This step is relatively more complicated. First of all, how to maintain the integrity of the formation during movement is a very big problem.
You will definitely not see results in three or five days.
Liu Jing was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. I believe that with brother Cong's ability, we will be able to train an elite army." Then he turned to Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou said: "Hongchao, Zijin,
You have the opportunity to follow Brother Cong and watch him train soldiers. This is a very rare opportunity. You must study hard."
"promise."
"It is not easy to train an elite soldier." Liu Xiu said this, but he was quite confident in his heart. As long as he was given two years, he would be able to train an elite soldier.
When Liu Liang faced Liu Xiu, who was almost the same age as his father, he was a little cautious at first, but in the end he couldn't control his heart and asked Liu Xiu for advice on military matters. After his first attempt, the next step was to
It was much simpler, he clung to Liu Xiu shamelessly, and never left Liu Xiu when the latter went out to patrol the camp.
Liu Xiuneng could tell that Liu Jing valued Liu Liang, and he also believed that this son was a worthy person among his clan, so he answered his questions one by one in detail.
