    Tuesday has never felt that his background is just that of a nouveau riche, and he is not the kind of "shaobao" who likes to throw money around. Today, when he entered Suirong City, he was so lavish, but he made this decision after careful investigation and analysis in advance.  action.  Zhou Chengye left the two brothers Zhang Wei and Zhang Xiu in Shanzhou years ago, so naturally it was not as simple as just working for Guo Yingyi.  The two brothers are equivalent to staying in the headquarters of the Shanzhou Military Division, and they work as confidential secretaries. Naturally, they have access to a large amount of useful information about the troops stationed in various places in Shanzhou.  Although there is no conflict between Tuesday and Guo Yingyi, and there is no calculation factor between them, this does not prevent Zhang Wei and Zhang Xiu from secretly collecting various intelligence for Tuesday.  The same information, placed in the hands of Guo Yingyi and placed in the hands of Zhou Chengye, will ultimately reach the same conclusion and play the same role.  When Zhou Chengye came to Suirong City from Huangshui City, the Zhang brothers had already reported all the information about the Suirong army to him, so although Zhou Chengye had not arrived yet, he actually already knew the situation of the Suirong garrison very well.  Suirong City is located at the forefront of the fight against the Tibetans. Although there has been no war with the Tibetans in the past ten years, the defenders in the city are not a bunch of rabble with lax military discipline and poor training!  Zhou Chengye learned from the intelligence that the thousands of defenders in Suirong City, Dingrong City and Shibao City could be said to be the elite of Shanzhou¡¯s defenders in the Tang Dynasty. Not only did they have rich combat experience, but they were also  The most loyal unit.  For such a unit, after Tuesday arrives, the first thing to consider is not how to rectify military discipline, how to kill people to establish prestige, or how to increase the intensity and difficulty of training.  But to boost morale and increase the troops' enthusiasm for war!  What I hated the most on Tuesday was when some so-called chiefs came to visit the grassroots units to express their condolences.  He pretended to stand in front of the officers and soldiers, then talked a lot of nonsense, and finally said a few words that were neither salty nor bland, "Comrades have worked hard", "I wish the comrades a happy family and smooth work", etc.  Wait, but there is no benefit at all.  Who among these big leaders know that the brothers at the grassroots level are actually most afraid of them coming to express their condolences?  It's okay if you don't come. Everyone still has a normal day off. When the big guys come.  The officers and soldiers clean the house every day, but in the end they have to listen to a lot of nonsense.  Since you are here to express condolences to the troops, then give some benefits to the brothers at the lowest level. This can warm people's hearts more than a thousand words!  The living environment in Suirong City can only be described as harsh. For the sake of the peace of their country, the soldiers huddled in a small city for many years.  Everyone gets tired and everyone gets lazy.  Such a state is naturally not conducive to fighting, but it is not irreversible. The key is to see how the general changes it.  ¡° If someone from the yamen who doesn¡¯t understand the military comes to Suirong City, the normal approach would naturally be to pick out a bunch of problems first, and then start with a few less-sighted ones.  In the end, he used his big hat to suppress people, win over a group of obedient people, and clean up a group of fucked-up ones. As a result, the appearance of the army was completely new, and its combat effectiveness seemed to have soared.  From now on, the world is invincible.  However, is this really the best way to lead troops?  Tuesday, who led troops from the grassroots level, doesn¡¯t think so!  The most obvious drawback is that this method of leading troops can easily lead to the death of people and the government.  Once the powerful general leaves the army, many of the systems and practices that were forcibly promoted will be immediately abolished by the newcomers, so the army slowly returns to its original state.  Zhou Chengye came to Suirong City to take up a post with great expectations and hopes in his heart. He wanted the Suirong Army to become a banner for the million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty under his new way of leading troops, a banner for change and innovation!  Because he had this idea in his mind, Zhou Chengye was not in a hurry to engage in short-term face-saving projects. He planned to carefully carve out this solid foundation of the army according to his own will.  After sending Qiu Changshi and Zhang Shiping away, Zhou Chengye invited the two lieutenants Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong to his tent and chatted with the two old men from Suirong City for most of the night.  In the next few days, Lu and Jia were still responsible for the daily security training work, while the general Zhou Chengye was in the city supervising a group of carpenters and blacksmiths to make various training equipment.  A few days later, the spacious campus was re-planned, and all kinds of weird training equipment were brought in one after another and then installed.  Perhaps none of the soldiers in Suirong City knew these weapons, but the guards of the Zhou Mansion who followed Zhou Chengye from Chang'an were very familiar with these big guys.  At the beginning, Tuesday used these instruments to train the guards of Zhou Mansion!  A few days later, Lei Wanchun reported to Zhou Chengye that he had completed the establishment of files for all officers and soldiers in the city.  Zhou Chengye then ordered all the officers and soldiers to regroup on the campus, and then publicly announced the numbers of every officer and soldier starting from him to the lowest level.    As each number was recorded in the officers and soldiers' files, identity plates made of silver were issued.  This valuable nameplate is engraved with the names, household registrations, and military numbers of the officers and soldiers, and will accompany each person's military career until the end.  After receiving the identity plate, various assessments were conducted in person on Tuesday. All people had to pass multiple tests such as physical fitness, weapons, equestrian skills, body balance, coordination, and reaction speed.  In this test that lasted for half a month, several "thugs" brought by Zhou Chengye and the guards of the Zhou Mansion showed their breathtaking power in front of the officers and soldiers of the Suirong Army.  Ge Shuhan showed his strong ability to fight on horseback. There was no one in the entire Suirong Army who could defeat him on horseback, so he became the commander of the Suirong Army's cavalry battalion without hesitation.  The cavalry battalion has a strength of 500 people. It is composed of the most elite knights from all ethnic groups selected from the Suirong Army, which has expanded to 3,000 people. From now on, it will serve as a sharp spear in Zhou Chengye's hand, ready to launch surprise attacks at any time.  Although Nan Jiyun is not as powerful as Ge Shuhan on horseback, his archery skills are the best among the entire army, and his marksmanship and sword skills are very powerful, so he became the commander of Modao Camp.  The Modao Battalion also has a strength of 500 people. Tall and powerful soldiers were selected from the remaining 2,500 people.  From now on, these soldiers will uniformly wear top-quality steel armor and helmets from Xiliu Villa.  Holding a long-handled sword for hand-to-hand combat.  Because of his young age, Lei Wanchun has no amazing performance in martial arts for the time being.  But he was thoughtful and alert, so he followed Zhou Chengye together with Zhang Wei and Zhang Xiu and served as a staff officer.  Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong each commanded a thousand people.  Among them, the two battalions led by Lu Dayong were half composed of light cavalry holding crossbows and the other half were light infantry holding crossbows; the two battalions led by Jia Erlong were half made up of infantry holding spears and the other half were light infantry holding axes and crossbows.  Shield of infantry.     at last.  There are also two hundred general guards, led by Liu Mingchang, Qin Hu, Fang Yong, and Zhao Ping, each with fifty men.  Among the two hundred people, less than half were guards from the Zhou Mansion in Chang'an. Now they put on military uniforms and temporarily served as soldiers in the army.  In this way, the Suirong Army, which was originally less than two thousand, completed the steps of expansion and reorganization after Zhou Chengye took over.  Although the Suirong Army of 3,200 people is not large in number.  But because of the new organization and training system, the combat effectiveness of this unit will soon be greatly improved.  The five hundred cavalry led by Ge Shuhan looked small in number, but they were equipped with the best war horses that Zhou Chengye bought from the nearby Tuyuhun and Tubo people at a high price, and their equipment was also carefully crafted by Zhou Chengye.  Made.  Although he has not yet fought head-on with the Tubo people, Zhou Chengye is sure of it now.  With the same strength or even no superiority in numbers, this elite cavalry under his command can sweep across the Tibetan cavalry and Turkic cavalry!  The five hundred light cavalry under Lu Dayong are cavalry mobile forces. They can not only support the elite cavalry battalion on the battlefield, but also supplement the elite cavalry battalion's strength.  As for the other 500 crossbowmen under his command, they were part of the main force defending the city.  The spear infantry under Jia Erlong can also undertake the task of defending the city.  You can also cooperate with Modao Battalion to fight in the wild.  The other five hundred sword and shield soldiers are the reserve force of Modao Camp.  It is also another main force defending the city.  In addition to these organizational changes, there is another biggest change, which is the introduction of the concept of infantry and cavalry into the Suirong Army on Tuesday.  What is infantry and cavalry?  They are infantry with the same mobility as cavalry!  In other words, the Suirong Army has 3,200 people. In fact, everyone must learn to ride a horse, and Zhou Chengye must equip his army with at least 6,000 horses!  ¡°Tuesday is not a fool, he can¡¯t possibly not know how much he will secretly pay for this army.  But he still gritted his teeth and made preparations like this, because he knew that there was no other better way to deal with the ferocious Tibetans. Only by ensuring that the troops had sufficient mobility could they have a chance to use the Tang army.  Specialties that are good at cooperating with multiple arms in combat.  Cavalry is good at attacking, but it is not absolute, especially when facing powerful longbowmen and hedgehog-like spearmen, they will be frightened.  Hoplites are good at close combat, but this is not absolute. As long as they are equipped with enough war horses, they can still make the elusive Tubo people taste the terror of cutting the horse's legs with a big blade.  The defense of longbowmen and crossbowmen is relatively weak, but it is also not absolute. As long as they are equipped with strong bows with long range and repeating crossbows that can be fired quickly, the opponents will have been shot before the roaring cavalry can reach them.  With the hedgehog, the danger can naturally be eliminated.???Tuesday A year ago, he secretly presented two sharp weapons to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in exchange for the position of Suirong City Envoy.  These two super murderous weapons originally did not belong to this time and space, because their names are called "God Arm Crossbow" and "Mongolian Bow" respectively.  The divine arm crossbow was a weapon used by the Song army in later generations to fight against the powerful nomads in the north, while the Mongolian bow was a weapon used by Genghis Khan's cavalry to sweep across Europe and Asia.  The Suirong Army was the first Tang army to be equipped with these two weapons, and it would definitely make the Tubo and Turks suffer a lot!  ps: Qingyang would like to thank the three book friends Dongmen Paima, 36999, and njluyujiang for their monthly ticket support, thank the book friend Jie Xue Yixuan for their evaluation vote support, and thank the book friend Shan Qingying for the reward!  The update of "Tang Xiong" some time ago disappointed everyone so much, but you are still so persistent, which makes me feel really touched and inspired.
