Chapter 19 Reorganization of the Uga River
The moonlight shone on the rippling Uga River (the ancient Yellow River in Hanghou Banner, Inner Mongolia today), Chen Ying stood at the watchtower tower, looking at the silent camp. At this time, the air seemed to condense, and even if he stood on the watchtower tower that was as high as three and six feet high, he still couldn't feel any coolness.
At this time, the Lingzhou army camp was built by the river. There were also sheepskin rafts on the Uga River from time to time, and it was almost impossible to patrol the river. Dozens of watchtowers as high as three and six feet high, with the top columns and topped with four walls, one by one, and one by one, marching iron pots act as lamp holders. Three wicks as thick as a baby's arm are also lit. From a distance, it was bright and just like a bright moon hanging.
If the camp is encountered nearby, the light guards on the watchtower will also use a large bronze mirror with a concave surface to concentrate the lights further away.
The heat of midsummer made Chen Ying sleepless. Looking at the quiet military camp, Chen Ying felt very anxious.
As the Turks "received troops" more and more, without effective unified management and command, the combat effectiveness of these received troops would not be exerted.
When they arrived in Fengzhou, there were more than 13,000 Turks. It was imperative to rectify these entrustment troops. However, Chen Ying was worried that the army would gradually lose control. If Yu Guni rashly deprived Yu Guni of his authority and put it in his heart, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. The soil still has three points of nature, let alone Yu Guni is still alone?
If these problems are not solved, more serious problems will definitely arise over time. Chen Ying thought about it and decided to put the problem openly. If he could accept it, everyone would still be friends in the future. If he was destined to not be able to pee in a pot, then he would part ways now.
The next morning, Chen Ying convened the generals of the army to hold an enlarged meeting. This time, the meeting was held, not only were Liu Tong, Chen Jinyong, Yu Guni, Ashinasmo and other generals participating, but all the 72 chiefs and deputy regiment lieutenants of the Lingwu Army and the Sixth Zhechong Mansion of Dingyuan Army attended.
After seeing everyone arrive, Chen Ying said straight to the point: "There is one thing I have not had time to say, that is why we soldiers join the army, why we train hard, why we fight bloody battles... To put it bluntly, what are the responsibilities of us soldiers, what are our goals, what are our meals, and who are we fighting for... I know, everyone has always thought that we were eating the Li family's meals, fighting for the Li family. You may think that we were eating the food of my Chen Ying and were preparing to fight for me. This is actually wrong."
Looking at the incredible gazes of everyone, Chen Ying continued: "There is one thing that we have made mistakes. The ones who really support us soldiers are the old farmers who work in the field every day facing the loess and the sky, the women who weave silk and sesame clothes with their hands, the people who pay taxes to the court, and the poor people who don't keep their clothes covered all day in order to support us... The food we eat is grown, the clothes we wear are weaves, and the money and wages we receive are squeezed out from their teeth... Therefore, the responsibility of our army is to protect these people who provide us with food and clothing, protect them, and prevent the bows and arrows and swords of the barbarians from harming them, so that they can farm and weave cloth with peace of mind, so that they can survive and raise their children and reproduce their descendants."
The army is composed of people, and people will have the ability to think. It is absurd and impossible to truly realize that a group has the right to give up their thoughts. An army without thought is an army that only blindly obeys, an army without subjective initiative and sense of ownership. Such an army will inevitably be defeated on the battlefield by those who know where they come from, what their responsibilities are, and why they fight. This is the biggest difference between modern and modern and ancient armies.
Chen Ying knew the terribleness of an army with thoughts and ideals. "The old Qin Dynasty will restore my country and mountains, and the blood will not flow, and the battle will not stop..." The Qin army with thoughts swept across Liuhe and unified the world. "To liberate the whole of China" the People's Liberation Army defeated the Kuomintang army...
The training system of the ancient army only taught soldiers how to fight. While the training system of the modern army taught soldiers how to fight, it also told them why they wanted to fight. This difference seems not big, but on the battlefield, this difference means victory and failure.
Chen Ying said: "This general manager decided that the Lingwu Army would be reorganized into the Lingwu Left Army, with the surrendered army as the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, and the Lingwu Right Army. Yu Guni was the Lingwu General, Chen Jinyong was the Lingwu Left General, and Ashinasmo was the Lingwu Right General."
Yu Guni and Chen Jinyong both showed a very happy expression, but the generals of the Dingyuan Army looked disappointed. The Dingyuan Army fought many battles and achieved many results. It was just that because the Dingyuan Army did not expand rapidly like the Lingwu Army, they had no chance of promotion.
Chen Ying was nominally promoted Yu Guni, but in fact he was promoted openly and secretly, separating Yu Guni from the main military of the Lingwu Army.
Chen Ying ignored it, but continued: "Liu Tong was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Lingwu Army and also the officers of the army. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Lingwu Army, five chief officers were drawn from the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Zhechong Prefectures of the Lingwu Left Army. The officers of the deputy lieutenant level were promoted to the chief officer, and the chief brigade commander was promoted to the deputy brigade commander, and the deputy brigade commander was promoted to the chief brigade commander, and the chief brigade commander was promoted to the deputy brigade commander, and so on. Thirty chief brigade commander, one hundred and fifty chiefs, and deputy mate commander. More than 200 people were drawn from the Lingwu Right Army to supplement the Lingwu Left Army."
The generals did not raise any objection to the new way of the old generation, which was the ordinary training method of this era.
Chen Ying then said: "This general manager will add trainers, instructors and counselors to the Lingwu Left Army and Lingwu Right Army."
Xu Jingzong asked in confusion: "Who is this instructor?"
Chen Ying explained: "Each Lingwu Army has a trainer instructor for each Zhechong Prefecture, and the rank is Guoyi Duwei. The main responsibility of the trainer is to train the soldiers of the Lingwu Army to learn Tang Yan. If the Zhechong Prefecture surrenders to the enemy and is afraid of fighting, the trainer can be killed and seized his position and temporarily replace him. The instructor is responsible for teaching all the soldiers of the regiments to learn Tang army in each regiment. Similarly, if the deputy lieutenant surrenders, the enemy can be killed and seized his army and temporarily lead him. It is regarded as being under the sixth rank, Zhenwei Deputy lieutenant. Similarly, the counselor is responsible for the Tang Yan study in each brigade..."
