Chapter 27

Qin Hui did not show his voice and smiled indifferently: "There are more than 15,000 people everywhere in Shanzhou, and more than 300 people were repelled, and they were ordered to return home to serve as the people. There were 3,100 people who had withdrawn from the imperial guards to serve as garrisons, and the rest were as usual. Your Majesty had already issued an order. On the one hand, the elite martial warriors from Shaanxi archers were selected to fill the number of places deposed and converted into the wing army. The number of soldiers will not only not be small, but will also gradually increase."

He bounced his robe and smiled at Zhang Jun who was dazed and said, "Salvation of wealth, denunciation of the elderly and weak, and increase his courage. This is Your Majesty's constitution. Qin is just following the imperial edict to do things. Do the general have any doubts?"

Zhang Jun was also very awesome. He was not stunned by his words like a cannon. He just sneered: "Your Majesty's edict is of course right, but we have to see how the Queen Qin who is responsible for the edict handles the edict."

After saying that, he leaned his hand and said sternly: "Please!"

Qin Hui didn't say anything, but walked forward quickly to the middle of the camp. After a while, more than 10,000 soldiers from Yongxing Army had gathered around the schoolyard, waiting for him to leave.

News about the Qing army had long been spreading throughout the army. When Qin Hui arrived, the generals of the army were uneasy and were afraid that this iron-fisted husband would clear him out.

The salary of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was extremely generous. In the early Song Dynasty, an ordinary imperial guard in the capital could receive a salary of thirty cents a month in addition to fixed firewood and rice. This salary level was a hundred times stronger than that of Zhu Yuanzhang's peasant army in later generations, and was equivalent to the treatment of the Eight Banners' armored people.

As a result, shortly after the founding of the country, a large number of disaster victims and bankrupt peasants were used as the wing army, and then the policy of fighting warriors in the wing army was chosen to be the policy of becoming a warrior in the wing army. However, the number of Song soldiers gradually increased and the combat effectiveness became weaker and weaker. The imperial guards had a generous salary and were generous in their wings. They did not practice every day, but only knew how to wear fresh clothes and horses and keep their breath. What was even more excessive was that the imperial guards always received real food and rice. The imperial guards in the capital were used to being generous in their wings. Anyway, the salary was generous. They didn't care about a few small money, so when the monthly salary was paid, a large number of porters ran to the military camp and carried food and grass for the imperial guards.

How can such an army defeat the Liaoxia Iron Cavalry? It is even more treacherous that it is the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom.

The imperial guards based on the Western Army are naturally much stronger than those corrupted in Tokyo. However, the ancestral system of recruiting hungry people and refugees has not changed. This army is full of speculative speculators and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. The commander regards the army as private soldiers, and is also afraid that the Qing army will cause military changes. He cannot be cleaned up seriously.

Zhao Huan made up his mind to send Qin Hui to the Qing army. It was also because of the pain of redundant soldiers in the history of the Song Dynasty. It was too famous that he had to change. He would rather trigger a mutiny or even make the determination to suppress it with force. Fortunately, Qin Hui was very well-organized in his work, and he asked Zhao Huan in advance that few people retreated and many people from the Qing army to the wing. Although this reduced the salary of many imperial guards, it did not put them in a desperate situation. Naturally, there were very few people who were willing to stand up and take the risk.

At this moment, Qin Hui'an was sitting in the middle of the school grounds, watching more than 10,000 soldiers of Shujia standing respectfully in front of him. The audience was silent, and many people's faces changed color and showed a look of panic and fear.

He was proud of himself, but he hid this emotion deeply. Qin Hui, the soldiers of the entire army, was so solemn and solemn, that people dare not look down on neglect and surrender to his majesty.

After the soldiers of the entire army gathered, Qin Hui first issued an order, ordering more than one thousand horse troops on the field to practice first.

The Song Dynasty lacked war horses, and naturally lacked good cavalry soldiers. From the founding of the country to the present, the treatment of the horse army has always exceeded that of the infantry. The cost of supporting a knight can recruit at least five more infantrymen.

Because of this, the training and identification of the horse army have always been the top priority of the Qing army, and Qin Hui's move is not surprising.

The horse army was rare, and Zhao Huan also knew that the group use of cavalry was far more effective than scattered among the various armies. Since the Battle of Fuping, he ordered the cavalry in the army to be concentrated into the Imperial Camp Cavalry, led by Wu Lin. The more than a thousand horse army left in Zhang Jun's army was already the one who risked the anger of the emperor and insisted on staying.

Naturally, he did not dare to neglect such a treasure. He was led by his confidant general Yao Duan, and he was trained every day without any delay.

Seeing Qin Hui issued an order to first review the horse army, Zhang Jun showed a gloomy face and did not speak. He only saw Yao Duan, asking him to lead the team himself to show his riding skills and horse fighting methods.

Yao Duan got the order and rode himself into the horse army. The thousand-double cavalry first jumped and jogged, and to the open area of ​​the school ground, they began to perform many skills such as fighting, sprinting the whole team, riding and shooting immediately.

This team of cavalry is indeed an elite force under Zhang Jun's army. More than a thousand cavalry and horses and knights are well-trained, and they are not messy in marching and retreating, and are extremely well-organized. When riding and shooting, there is no case that the arrows fail to hit the target.

After they finished the training, Zhang Jun arrived in front of Qin Hui and smiled at him, "Sir, how about the horse army?"

Qin Hui didn't care about him when he was so storming, and replied with a smile: "Yes, the general's horse army is the most elite among the six routes. According to Qin, there is no need to carefully identify it, just keep it all."

"Okay, my husband is very good, haha!" Zhang Jun laughed dryly, slowly retreated, feeling very proud.

Qin Hui showed a smile on his lips and ordered: "The horse army retreats, the infantry will practice!"

When the horse army retreated from the field, teams of infantry began to prepare for practice according to various formations.

Qin Hui reached out to stop and ordered: "No need to practice the formation diagram, try it according to my method."

After saying that, he waved his hand to attract a few light and agile soldiers, and ordered: "Go ahead and do it!"

How could these sample soldiers he personally choose not know what he meant? He immediately bowed together and said bang: "Yes, follow the order of lord!"

Except for Qin Hui's confidant, everyone else was stunned and didn't know what he meant. After these soldiers jumped into the school ground, Qin Hui said, "Line in batches, everyone ran behind them."

Zhang Jun said angrily: "What is the test method? If you don't look at the sword technique or the arrow technique, just see if you can run?"

Qin Hui ignored him first and issued orders. He ordered the generals to start the team and prepare to run with them. Waiting for the people in the field to panic and run in a mess, he laughed at Zhang Jun and said, "The swordsmanship and archery skills are naturally necessary. But soldiers are fighting, should the enemy chase them when they run? Unfortunately, our army was defeated, will the person surrender or die? If they can't even run, what kind of soldiers are they still?"

Zhang Jun opened his mouth wide and was full of anger, wanting to refute his statement as nonsense. However, he is also a general in command of the army, but no matter what, he has to admit that although the other party's words are fresh, they are very reasonable. It is not unreasonable.

He remained silent and had to pay attention to the situation in the schoolyard with Qin Hui.

Although this test was carried out in batches, a large number of weak men who could not keep up with the footsteps of the sample soldiers were also covered in armor. The soldiers who ran the entire journey were still calm and composed. Although there were a considerable number of soldiers following them, there were a large number of soldiers who were tired and foaming at the mouth to barely keep up.

Those who fell behind, collapsed on the ground and could no longer run, or even fainted on the ground and needed treatment in urgent need of treatment.

Zhang Jun's face was so angry that he had to fight to Qin Hui: "Sir, if you try this, at least two or three thousand people can't keep up. Can they all want it?"

Qin Hui was calm and replied with a smile: "Of course, this won't work. There are warriors who can't run. You have to try again below."

In fact, if another army was replaced, Qin Hui might not have carefully selected the best runners, and personally instructed the soldiers to run hard, so naturally there would not be such a large number of soldiers who could not keep up. It was precisely because of Zhang Jun's arrogant attitude that he did this purpose.

After running, we will test our strength, then verify our swordsmanship, gunsmanship, and archery. The turbulence in the field is rushing to the forefront, and everyone is fighting for the first place.

Although it is not easy to be a soldier and eat food, it was far better than being a farmer in the Song Dynasty. Although the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, they could finally support their family. If they were not in line with each other and were eliminated from the army and had their livelihoods, they would be miserable than they are now.

Qin Hui entered the camp early in the morning until the sunset, and kept struggling with Zhang Jun's entire army. Even the strongest soldiers felt it was difficult to support them. In the end, it was because Zhang Jun's troops were indeed powerful, but they eliminated more than a thousand unqualified soldiers, and there were very few of them among the various troops.

In Zhang Jun's case, this is too much. But the other party's unique method of taking the school was very serious, and he had nothing to say. Only more than a thousand soldiers in the field were facing the fate of being eliminated, but his face changed drastically and the crowd was infuriated.

They all surrounded Qin Hui and did not dare to surround Qin Hui. They had to kneel down from afar, beg each other, and ask Qin Hui to give them another chance.

Some of the irritable temper also shouted loudly: "We work hard for the officials and fight for the Song Dynasty with one sword and one shot, but we can only end up like this?"

In this way, those who were not selected also felt sympathy and clamored together.

As the chief general of the capital, Zhang Jun was so noisy, but he just ignored it and wanted to see how Qin Hui cooked.

Qin Hui ignored it first, and when the soldiers became weaker, he frowned and ordered: "Everyone removes the armor first."

With a command, many guards around him also shouted: "Sir, I have an order. Everyone will abandon their armor and then speak."

Although everyone was not angry, they had to act according to their orders.

After more than a thousand people in the venue removed their armor, he ordered: "Take off your upper body and clothes together."

Zhang Jun said angrily: "Sir, this is too nonsense. Even if they cannot be imperial guards, they cannot humiliate them like this!"

Qin Hui replied: "General, don't worry, please read the following."

Everyone took off their clothes, Qin Hui nodded slightly, and dozens of people around him came down to the scene, and began to check them one by one.

After a while, everyone knew Qin Hui's intention. Although these people were unable to run fast, had no skill in swords and guns, had ordinary archery skills, and were not strong enough, those responsible for inspection picked out the soldiers who had been injured with scars on their bodies. Those who were smooth and without invasive marks were still left in place.

After a short while, more than a hundred people were selected, and the rest of them looked at each other and could no longer speak.

Qin Hui stood up at this moment and said sternly: "You are not good at martial arts. It's fine, and there are no scars on your body, but how do you become soldiers? You can't fight, and you are injured, and you are not injured. When you go into battle, you are using your voice to scare away the enemy?"

Seeing that everyone was depressed and had nothing to say, he sternly said: "I am a tens of thousands of Qing troops, but no one dares to come out to say something wronged. If you feel wronged, come out to speak at this time!"
