The interior of Xiliu Camp is an extremely wide deep valley.
No, to be precise, it should be a canyon carved out by the uncanny workmanship of nature countless thousands of years ago.
At the other end of the deep valley, the Wei River flows through.
More than two thousand years later, in 1994, the Celestial Dynasty excavated the ruins of another early Han warehousing base called Chengyicang, which was as famous as Xiliucang.
The 'Chengyicang' ruins excavated at that time frightened countless archaeologists.
Only part of the ruins is about 1,000 meters long from east to west and about 1,500 meters long from north to south. Numerous exquisite cultural relics and a large number of civilian supplies of the Han Dynasty were unearthed from it. More than one handicraft workshop ruins were discovered, especially in Chengdu.
In the north of Yicang', a complete Taobao kiln of the Han Dynasty was discovered.
This site is listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
Chengyicang is located in Pucheng in Weinan, far away from Chang'an, and its scale is like a city.
Xiliucang, located near Chang'an, is simply a completely militarized fortress city.
Walking into the interior of Xiliu Cang, the first thing Liu Che saw was the neatly arranged military camps.
The Han army stationed nearly 10,000 soldiers, including the field army of Xiliu Camp, in Xiliu Cang. In addition, there were about a thousand officials in charge, technical officers of various departments of the Shaofu, and tens of thousands of workers living here.
Neat and clean barracks are densely packed and extend deep into the deep valley.
After just a rough estimate, Liu Che found that the Xiliu Cang stretched for at least two or three kilometers.
However, this is not surprising.
Later during the Three Kingdoms period, Ru Chun, a scholar of the Cao and Wei Dynasties, quoted the "Chang'an Map" to describe the ruins of Xiliucang and said: Xiliucang is in the north of Wei, near Shijiao.
Sanfu Huangtu describes: There is a Xiliucang in the west of Chang'an, north of the Weishui River, and west of Shijiao.
These may not be vivid enough.
Well, archaeological discoveries are enough to prove how grand Xiliucang was once.
In 1989 AD, the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Team discovered the Xiliucang ruins in Liangsidu Village in the west of Xianyang District, covering an area of more than 8,000 square meters!
But this is only the storage part of Xiliucang.
The military camp of Xiliu Camp has long been lost in the long river of history.
Today, Liu Che is standing inside the military camp of Xiliu Camp. Looking around the entire camp, he feels like he is discovering history.
Liu Che approached the military camp and touched the wall of the camp.
The permanent military camps in the Han Dynasty were basically made of bricks and stones.
Xiliu Camp is no exception.
"How many soldiers live in one barracks?" Liu Che did not enter the barracks to inspect, but asked Captain Wei Chi who was accompanying him during the inspection.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is because of Your Majesty's kindness and care for the soldiers. Now there are ten soldiers living in one military camp..." Wei Chi immediately replied with a smile. The generals all love this day.
Since he came to the throne, the allocation has never been less than half a penny.
Especially the care for the soldiers is extremely considerate!
Immediately after taking the throne, he issued a decree to increase the daily food of the soldiers by one or two meters!
This is one or two meters!
That’s more than two kilograms per person in a month, and more than half a stone in a year!
The Han Dynasty's army was more than one million, which was equivalent to an increase of almost tens of millions of dollars in military expenditures for the army!
Truly a big deal!
And for an ace like Xiliuying, it is even more meticulous.
Not long ago, angels escorted several hundred dan of soybean oil to Xiliu Camp to give the soldiers extra meals.
It is said that from now on, more than 100 kilo of soybean oil will be supplied every month.
Xiliu Camp, like most of the Han field armies, was selected by officers from among their fellow villagers and taught step by step.
The feeling of comradeship is naturally very deep.
Of course, the more important thing is that at this time, the officers have not yet activated the technology tree of "eating empty quotas and drinking soldiers' blood".
What everyone admires is: How can I say that I have no clothes? I repair my spear and I share the same enemy with you.
Even among county soldiers, the feeling of brotherhood is very deep.
In ancient times, there was Wu Qi, who sucked the pus out of his soldiers, and in recent times, there was Zhou Yafu, who used his salary and taxes from the feudal state to bear the living expenses of the disabled soldiers.
Under such circumstances, although there is a huge gap in status between soldiers and officers, there is no difference in personality.
Every general knows that treating his soldiers well means treating his own future well.
If you want your soldiers to work hard and die, you must treat them as kindly as possible.
Therefore, in the Han army, capable people often rise very quickly.
The Han army, which inherited the military law system of the Qin Dynasty, would not have such dirty things happen, such as having their achievements blackmailed.
The army has specialized military judges and officers and departments that record the merits of soldiers.
If anyone dares to discredit his subordinate's military exploits, even if that subordinate doesn't say anything, the military judge will still dare to tell the truth.
Generally speaking, the Han Dynasty bureaucrats, who were extremely martial and self-respecting, would not do such nasty things that would make people and gods angry.
It is precisely because of this social atmosphere that whenever the Han army goes on an expedition, countless heroes and heroes from the counties and counties along the route often bring their own dry food and armor to join the army.
However, the army still has to be picky and reject those who are not qualified.
People from the Song and Ming dynasties wondered if they would feel guilty when they read history?
Liu Che listened to Wei Chi's words, thought for a moment, and asked: "But what is a battalion? What commander lives with the soldiers?"
Wei Chi nodded and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is!"
The commander and the soldiers live in the same camp. This is the "advanced experience" passed down from the Huben Guard and the Yulin Guard.
After being put into practice by Huben Guards and Yulin Guards, people from all over the mountains felt that this method was very good and very good.
The commander and the soldiers were in the same camp, getting along day and night, and developed a brotherly relationship. The commander also showed kindness to the commander, the commander and the commander were brothers, and the Sima and the commander came from the same clan.
In this way, even if it is an army of ten thousand people, the general can command it like an arm, which is very easy to use.
Of course, like the Huben Guards and the Yulin Guards, they also need to popularize culture among the soldiers and even teach them military skills. Such things currently face many obstacles in other mountains.
Only the northern and southern armies were able to implement it on a small scale after airborne a group of officers from the Yulin Guard and the Huben Guard.
At this time, the vast majority of military officers came from general families.
His grandfather was an army officer, his father was an army officer, and he was also an army officer.
These people don't want to create a group of competitors.
In ordinary times, he showed kindness, undressed him, and gave him food. He just wanted the soldiers to die for him and fight for him on the battlefield.
It is another matter to turn the soldiers into generals like themselves.
Liu Che didn't have many good solutions to this situation. He could only wait patiently and wait for the day when the old forces collapsed.
As for now?
There is no way!
You know, this will be the same even in the world two thousand years from now.
Whether it’s the two giants, ‘The Nation of Hope for Mankind’ or ‘The Last Fortress of Capitalism’, have you ever seen an example of someone rising from a small soldier to a general?
It is a blessing to have one person out of 10,000 people finally reach the position of leader.
Most people, even the master sergeant, have to go through five levels and kill six generals.
But it's different if you have a good father...
One sect has three generals, and father and son have seven generals.
This is not a fairy tale, this is reality.
Relatively speaking, there may be more promotion paths for civilians in the current Han Dynasty army.
As long as you have excellent martial arts skills, one person can fight three or more.
Guaranteed that your promotion will be like diabetes insipidus.
A typical example is Guan Fu's father Zhang Meng.
It only took seven years to go from a domestic slave to a two-thousand-stone county captain.
What he relies on is his incomparable bravery, which makes him feel like he is unparalleled on the battlefield.
During the Xiaozhu Dynasty, Huo Qubing's younger brother Zhao Ponu went from being a fugitive to a noble lord in just a few years.
Therefore, Liu Che did not want to attack the existing interest groups and general groups like the second one.
As long as they are obedient, can fight, and win, everything will be fine.
"Good!" Liu Che smiled at Wei Chi and said: "My brothers are like one person, let's see who can defeat them in the world? The foundation of our Han family's army is to care for our soldiers first, then to sacrifice our lives, and then to train!"
"General, please take me to see the drill at Xiliu Camp..." Liu Che said with a smile: "I once told Yizong and Jumeng that you sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. Training is the foundation of the army. I
Emperor Gao, the emperor’s ancestor, once issued an edict: Scholars cannot be conquered without education, and this is precisely the truth!”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Naturally, the generals are not stingy about flattery.
…………………………
Surrounded by his ministers, Liu Che rode in a chariot and arrived at the martial arts arena at Xiliu Camp.
This martial arts arena is not within the camp, but on the other side of Xiliucang, in the "Duanyin Plain" in front of Shijiao.
In the Han Dynasty, payment and stimulation were interchangeable.
The so-called Shi Jiao is actually Shi Ji.
What is a rock reef? It is an artificial rock reef used to lift away the river water that hits the embankment and protect the safety of the river embankment.
Xiliucang is located on the north bank of the Weihe River, right at the intersection of the Fengshui River and the Weihe River. The interaction between the two river systems for thousands of years has caused the river to continuously erode the shore.
After the emergence of humans, nature will not allow nature to erode the land where it lives so unscrupulously.
Therefore, the working people created Shijiao, a measure to protect the safety of dams.
It's just that the scale of the stone structure in front of Xiliu Cang is a bit large.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, this stone has even become a scene in Chang'an.
At the beginning, Liu Bang held a military parade near Shijiao and then entered Xianyang City.
It's a pity that Xiang Yu is shameless and directly overturned the previous agreement of "the king who enters Guanzhong first".
Fortunately, Liu Bang is also a cheater...
Liu Che was standing on the high platform of the martial arts field in front of Shijiao, looking at the military columns lined up in the martial arts field.
The Han army, like the Qin army, was extremely disciplined.
Thousands of soldiers stood quietly in the martial arts arena, staring at the emperor on the high platform.
But before the emperor spoke, everyone held their breath and concentrated, without any commotion.
All I could hear was the sound of the river water lapping against the rocks in front of the dam.
Liu Che was very satisfied after hearing this, and said to Wang Dao: "Pass on my order, Captain Wei Chi, if you manage the army well, I will give you ten pieces of gold and a piece of silk cloth!"
This is just a symbolic reward.
The meaning of honor is greater than material rewards.
But Wei Chi was very moved and immediately said respectfully: "Your Majesty has treated you so kindly, and I will never be able to repay you, but I will only swear loyalty to the death!"
Liu Che smiled noncommittally.
If possible, Liu Che really wanted to dig into Zhou Yafu's foundation.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
Xiliuying has a strong and indelible imprint of the Zhou family.
Otherwise, after the death of Zhou Yafu in his previous life, Liu Che's father would not have used various means to disband and reorganize Xiliu Camp.
In other words, Xiliuying was loyal to Liu Che and loyal to the Han Dynasty.
However, they love Zhou Yafu even more.
Liu Che could order Xiliu Camp to attack the city and capture the land for him, destroy the country and capture the king, but Zhou Yafu could let this army fight for him until the last moment.
There is an essential difference between the two.
Not to mention now, even in the era when the party commands the gun, a certain general or leader can use his unique personal charm to make the army follow him.
There is no need for Liu Che to compete with Zhou Yafu for the love of the soldiers in Xiliu Camp, and he can't compete with him!
"Let's start!" Liu Che ordered to Wei Chi: "Let me see, which one is stronger, Xiliuying or Huben, or Yulin?"
When Wei Chi heard this, his face immediately turned red.
Xiliu Camp's status as the strongest army in the world has been seriously challenged by the two little brothers Huben and Yu Lin.
As the emperor's personal army, the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Guards have the best sources of soldiers, the best treatment, the best equipment and the best complement of officers.
Legend has it that the emperor even directly selected nearly a hundred people from among the scholars and assigned them to Huben and Yu Lin to serve as military counselors and plan strategies.
Xiliuying, on the other hand, only received ten scholars.
In this way, Lord Zhou Yafu snatched food from other generals.
I still respect the literati and the Han army very much.
After all, the army is full of rough guys, so to suddenly have a group of staff officers who are well-educated in poetry and books, even if it is just to see something strange and follow the fashion, it is not bad.
What's more, the scholars assigned to the army were all found to have good abilities in the end.
Or people who are good at arithmetic and writing. Such people can assist the officers and prepare well for all matters inside and outside the camp. They can also make many good suggestions and regulate and manage the army.
There are even some particularly high-end talents.
These scholars were born in a family of generals. They were well-educated in military literature and were very familiar with the army.
Although I have little practical experience, my theoretical level is much higher than my actual ability.
If you really want to be placed in the position of chief officer, then you will be a horse-wearing gentleman.
But as deputies, the arrival of these people has greatly solved many generals' problems.
You can let these people do the training of soldiers, you can also let these people do the planning of strategies, and you can also let them handle the various small and large soldiers in the army.
More importantly, these people are a collective.
They often gather together to discuss problems.
One person's plan is short, three people's plan is normal.
The three horse warriors came together to discuss the issue. Even if they were not as good as Marquis Wu'an, they were not much worse than the general himself.
These people are very good at picking up omissions and finding omissions.
Therefore, even though there is no trace of this year's examination, all the troops in the Han army are already gearing up to grab people in this year's examination.
The guards of the Confederate Army announced that they would snatch a hundred soldiers this year.
Not to be outdone, the Northern Army shouted the slogan "Three Hundred Soldiers".
Wei Chi felt that Xiliu Camp could not fall behind.
Qiu Ba in the Northern and Southern armies is not a problem.
Xiliu Camp's military exploits and record completely crushed these scumbags.
But the key to the problem is... there are two other guards, Huben and Yulin. (To be continued.)
