Jiachen, the winter twelfth month of the ninth year of Yuande.
Xiliu Camp is located in Xiliu Valley.
The loud military bugle resounded throughout the military camp, and Qin Mu led his officer corps and strode into the school grounds.
Xiliu Camp is now different from what it used to be. After the reorganization in the Yuande Year, Xiliu Camp has now been upgraded to Xiliu Army.
His general also became the first standing general after the Han family's self-defense generals and Taiwei officers were abandoned.
After reorganization, the Xiliu Army now has a combat strength of 27,000 people! It is also the first pure cavalry field army of the Han Army!
The whole army is divided into six divisions and twelve captains.
There are two Cavalry Commanders under each division, and each Cavalry Commander commands two thousand cavalry.
This ensures that any unit of Xiliu Camp can overwhelm any of the Xiongnu's 10,000 cavalry on the battlefield and have the initiative on the battlefield.
In addition, the internal organizational structure of the Xiliu Army has also undergone major adjustments.
In order to adapt to the combat needs of the cavalry era, the cavalry organization of the Xiliu Army was changed from the customary unit system of the Han Army in the past to the current team and brigade system.
A hundred cavalry is a team, two teams are a regiment, five regiments are a brigade, two brigades are a captain, and two captains form a combat unit.
In this way, the structure and organization of the army have been greatly improved, especially the organization and command of the cavalry after the battle.
After this reform, the Xiliu Cavalry will be organized as a whole regiment as a combat unit on the battlefield, and each regiment will watch and coordinate with each other.
During the charge, the momentum was magnificent and frightening. Within the Xiliu Army, new tactics were also studied and discussed.
Under the auspices of Qin Mu, Wei Chi and other famous generals and veterans of the Han army, a "Xiliu Cao Dian" was compiled.
All major and minor affairs of the army, as well as various means of dealing with the enemy, are forcibly instilled into every officer's mind using words and regulations.
Whether you can understand it, understand it thoroughly, and draw inferences from one example to another is one thing.
But whether it can be remembered and whether it can produce conditioned reflexes when facing an enemy on the battlefield is another matter.
Anyway, Xiliu Army has now formed a system of reciting and repeating "Xiliu Cao Dian" in the morning, noon and evening.
Every five days, the superiors of each department will conduct random inspections and assessments.
The captain examines the brigade captain, the brigade captain examines the regiment Sima, and the regiment Sima examines the team rate.
According to the regulations, the captain assesses the school captain. If the school captain fails, the captain must plead guilty to the general and even go to Weiyang Palace to apologize.
The brigade read it out in front of the public and made a deep self-examination, reflecting on the crime of ineffective supervision and lax declaration of strictness.
As for the team rate of regiment Sima’s subordinates, if anyone fails, that regiment Sima will have to be stood up and whipped in public!
The reason is to punish superiors instead of punishing subordinates.
This has something to do with the atmosphere inside the Han army, especially Xiliu Camp.
Each branch of the Han army is composed of soldiers with sons and daughters, acquaintances of life and death, and other iron-clad relationships that can trust life and death, wives and children.
Officers at all levels below the rank of Cavalry Commander usually make up their backbone with brothers, retainers, sworn brothers, childhood friends, fellow countrymen, etc.
This kind of relationship leads to the fact that during battles, the soldiers and officers below will fight to the death because of their feelings of fellow countrymen, brotherhood, and kindness.
This also makes, in fact, punishing superiors more deterrent than punishing subordinates!
His brother and benefactor was punished because of him, and he was punished and even stained.
Anyone with any conscience will feel guilty and regretful.
Then know your shame and then be brave!
As for, what if the officers below deliberately try to stumbling upon their superiors?
The mighty Captain/Colonel/Sima, the pillar of the empire, could not even win over the officers below him.
If such an idiot goes to the battlefield, he will surely die!
So, go home and farm as soon as possible!
The Xiliu Army cannot afford to lose this person!
Now, gathering are the three most elite cavalry captains of Xiliu Camp.
Six thousand athletes, fully armed, stood motionless in the school field with their heads held high and their chests held high.
Just the huge formation they formed was enough to make people's hair stand on end.
Thousands of troops stood motionless in the cold wind without saying a word, which was far more heart-stopping than any high-spirited oaths or passionate speeches.
There is no doubt that this is a force with iron military discipline.
It is a well-trained elite!
Qin Mu looked at this army and was filled with emotions.
Although he was not from Xiliu Ying, he was a foreigner who came by air, and his feelings for Xiliu Ying were not as deep as those of the generals around him.
But to be able to command and fight side by side with such a powerful army, and to watch and rely on each other, Qin Mu felt extremely honored!
As a general, Qin Mu was naturally deeply involved in the reform and restructuring of the Xiliu Army.
He knew very well how much potential this army had.
If the combat capability of the Xiliu Army before the restructuring was one, then the combat capability of the Xiliu Army now is two or even three!
Especially in large-scale mobile operations and assault operations, this unit is invincible!
Not only because of equipment and techniques and tactics, but also because of organization and structure.
And now, they will step onto the battlefield and send their first tellurium cry to the world.
This will be earth-shattering!
With such a mood in mind, Qin Mu ascended to the general platform, took three cavalry captains and more than ten school captains, faced the entire army, and saluted with a military salute.
Immediately, the whole world was filled with the sound of his right hand hitting his chest armor.
"Gentlemen..." Qin Mu stood in front of the loudspeaker made of bronze speakers, cleared his throat, pressed his hands, and the whole place fell silent.
"This general, together with all the captains and captains, just announced his Majesty's resignation from the Wuyang Palace!"
"Long live your majesty! Long live the emperor! Long live the great man!" The whole army faced the direction of Weiyang Palace and knelt down on one knee: "The Xiliu army will always be loyal to the Han Dynasty and the emperor. They will come when they are called and go when they are waved. They will win the battle and attack."
must!"
This is the oath of the Xiliu Army formulated by the military judges and civilian staff together with the ministers of Lantai Xuanda Division.
Simple, yet catchy and easy to remember.
For an army, such an oath is enough!
Long oaths like those of the Huben Guards and the Yulin Guards are indeed a bit overwhelming for other troops!
After all, the Huben Guards and the Yulin Guards serve as the training team and new equipment experimental unit of the Han army.
Qin Mu raised his hand, and the whole army stood up one after another. Then, he continued: "Your Majesty has been sending this general and all the lieutenants and Sima to the front of Sima's gate. His Majesty is full of expectations. He hopes that we will make new achievements and live up to our mission!"
"Long live!" the whole army shouted again. For ordinary low-level soldiers, the emperor is a saint living in myths and legends. He is a born sacred and supreme supreme being. It is also a belief. As long as you think of the emperor's presence,
Many people are so happy that they are speechless as they look forward to killing enemies and expanding territory for him. They just want to fight to the death and live up to their expectations!
However, Qin Mu still felt that this was not enough. He waved his hand, and a military judge wearing a Xiechi hat came forward holding a silk book.
There is no doubt that this is an edict.
In today's Han Dynasty, although there are no explicit regulations and systems to follow, after the widespread use of white paper, everyone in the world recognizes that only imperial edicts and holy edicts can be recorded in silk books.
This military judge is Zhang Yang, the commander-in-chief of Xiliu Camp and the Legalist.
He is known among the Xiliu Army for his fairness, strictness and incorruptibility, and is deeply trusted and respected by the majority of officers and soldiers.
Zhang Yang held the silk book in his hands, walked to the loudspeaker, opened the silk book, and read loudly: "The emperor's edict, all officers and men listen to the edict!"
The whole army stood in awe and struck their chests five times with their right hands to express their respect for the emperor.
Five is the sacred number and the incarnation of the Emperor in the field of mathematics.
Since the kneeling ceremony of soldiers has been abandoned nowadays, beating the chest five times has become a rule for soldiers to express their respect for the royal family and the king.
"The poem I heard said: Alas, I am a minister, I respect you as a duke. When the king becomes successful, he comes to consult you..."
…………………………
In the military camp southeast of Ba Ling where the Ba Ling Army is stationed, thousands of soldiers of the Ba Shang Army also stood in awe, listening to the military judge on the stage read out the edict: "...Today the Xiongnu in the West have destroyed their virtues and become powerful in order to repay their cruelty. As for the people in Hexi, the people in Hexi suffered from this evil, so they couldn't bear the cruelty and sued the innocent people to the gods above and below!"
At the Thorny Gate Army station, there was also a military judge who was reading out: "...the way of heaven rewards good and punishes evil, and brings good fortune and misfortune, and I am ordered by heaven and earth. God commends me to assist the eight wastelands and govern the land of the sun and moon. The thoughts of all peoples and the grievances of hundreds of tribes have all reached my ears..."
On the high platform of the Northern Army, the guard of the Northern Army read loudly: "I want to punish the Qiequ and Zhelan families of the Western Xiongnu. I will not dare to pardon them in order to show their guilt and the destiny of heaven."
In the Confederate Army camp, the Confederate Army Protector also read out: "I now declare to the world: If you dare to use Xuansha, dare to sue God and gods, your ancestors will punish the guilty, attack the unjust, and destroy the tyrannical. ! I hope that the benevolent people, loyal ministers and righteous people in the world will work hard with them!"
Under the curtains in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, countless officials loudly read out the edict that had just been posted: "God bless the people, sinners are deposed, the destiny of heaven is not arrogant, be like grass and trees, and the people are allowed to colonize. Let one person compile it." In the Erbang family, I don’t know how violent I will be from above and below, and I am terrified, if I am about to perish in the abyss.”
"But it is the way of heaven to punish those who are unruly and to punish those who are unruly!"
"That is to say, all directions are guilty, but I am guilty. I am guilty, not all directions!"
"Order General Wei Chi to be the General of the Conquest of the West, and command all the generals to attack the Qu family and Zhelan family..."
"Order General Qin Mu to be the General Protecting the West, and lead General Xiliu to conquer Mingze. As for Duanshui..."
"Order General Xu Gan to be the Captain of Horse Mane..."
"...The book says: If you are willing to conquer your own zeal, it will eventually come to an end! It will encourage the loyal ministers, righteous men, and people with lofty ideals and benevolent people all over the world..."
There is no doubt that this is a battle document, and it is also a declaration of war announced to the whole world.
The central idea is actually one sentence: The Chinese century is coming!
Those who obey will prosper, those who go against will perish!
If you obey the civilization of Zhuxia, listen to the teachings of China, and actively integrate into the glorious civilization of Zhuxia, you can have vitality, enjoy wealth, and protect your country.
Otherwise, stubborn resistance will lead to death!
Today, Liu Che can use the internal filth of the Western Xiongnu to conquer the Western Xiongnu, openly and openly raise the banner of heaven, and send out the army of justice and the army of kings to destroy the Western Xiongnu.
Tomorrow, Liu Che can also punish someone by saying that someone is not a river crab, someone is not a king, and someone is disobedient!
In short, the right to speak and the hegemony of the world are in the hands of Han and the hands of Zhu Xia.
Anyone who refuses to obey will either die or get out!
There is no third path to choose from!
And this means that a new era, an era that belongs to China, an era in which only the Zhuxia people can make the final say, formulate rules and regulations, and establish values has arrived!
No one can stop this era from coming!
In the cold wind of Chang'an, all the troops of the Han army vowed to go out for battle.
What awaits them will be a decades-long era of conquest and expansion.8)
