    "Soldiers respect the commander of the corps, commander of the corps respects the captain, captain respects the flag commander, flag commander respects Dutou, Dutou respects the point, one level at a time, no matter whether he is out in battle or not, he is not allowed to disobey! If you disobey orders, you will not be respected or you will be beaten and humiliated.  All Shangguan and others will be killed!" In the military camp, 718 Tibetan soldiers, including all the leaders, stood in silence, listening to Wu Jin's loud instructions.  *Literature Hall* It's just Wu Jin. This group of people will not be so well-behaved. Even if Wang rushes into the formation, it will not be so quiet that a pindrop can be heard. It is the official power of a scarlet-clothed official who suppressed them.  Zongze, who was reused by Wang Fu, had been favored by Fei. As an eighth-grade missionary official, Lang Jingguan, he had obtained the Fei uniforms that could only be worn by court officials above sixth-grade.  At this time, he was standing upright with his hands crossed, looking at the hundreds of Tibetan soldiers.  Gray hair, scarlet clothes, and full of self-power and dignity.  "In these three months, you are all ordered by the imperial court to serve as Fan soldiers, regardless of class, regardless of clan affiliation. If anyone violates the class by using clan affiliation for private matters, he will be killed!"  On official business, as the commander of the last review, he recited military laws to these Tibetan soldiers. The first one was the class law, that is, the law of ordering from superior to subordinate.  After listening for a while, Zongze frowned and said to Wang Chong next to him: "Class is the head of military law, why is it so loose?"  Regarding the cumbersome class military laws, including the imperial army and even the Xiang army, they must abide by class laws.  Although Tibetan soldiers are not within the scope of the law, they are still subject to the control of class laws when they are deployed. However, when it comes to Tibetan and barbarian affairs, the actual handling will be more flexible.  But laxity does not mean indulgence. There are only about ten items of class law recited by Wu Jin, of which only three are beheaded, namely disobeying orders, beating and humiliating superiors, and violating class based on clan affiliation. The others are all punishments with rods. Zongze himself  I don't understand.  Wang Chong said in a low voice: "They are just Tibetan soldiers. If the imperial military law is used again, the pressure from above will be even greater." Zongze nodded: "Indeed, the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty learned about this and wrote a letter to blame us, saying that he would impeach us for violating the laws.  " Wang Chong's eyes narrowed: "Is Tang Qinsou really going to do this?  According to the corresponding laws, those who are good at sending troops with more than ten people will have to move for one year, and for one hundred people, one and a half years will be required. For each additional one hundred people, one year will be added.  More than a thousand people were hanged. If Tang Ke's impeachment was established, Zongze and Wang Chong would have to manage Guangnan for four to five years.  Zongze sneered and said: "It's just a scare. I have two official documents in hand, and it's just Tibetan soldiers. Grand Master Cai has nothing to say, how can Master Wang make him make trouble." This is also the proper meaning, good at making things happen.  The core of the law is the control of military power. In all dynasties, controlling military power has been a matter of life and death for the country. The Song Dynasty, which used culture to control military power, reached its peak and was good at establishing laws to ensure the court's control of military power.  However, what Wang Chong did took advantage of the loophole of being good at Xinglu.  He dispatched Tibetan soldiers, and the location was also in a border vassal state. The court had no customs in this regard.  But even so, Wang Chong still obtained two ultimatums through Zongze.  The two departments also reported it to the Privy Council. After all, it was a troop transfer, and French procedures had to be followed.  Hearing that Zongze disapproved, Wang Chong was slightly relieved.  This incident of the Southwest Tibetan soldiers was a special matter and had no precedent.  It was a small move he made by taking advantage of Wang Fu's power and the privilege of the Border Affairs Department, which was actually very taboo.  Criticism in the court was what he was most worried about, but he didn't want to be the one who made the noise first. Tang Ke was indeed the rat shit thrown in by Grand Master Cai. It seemed that he should pay more attention to this person.  At this time, Wu Jin had already talked about the law of escape. According to the military law of the Song Dynasty, any deserter who fled for one day would be killed. However, the deserters that Wu Jin announced were just treated as thieves. Zongze frowned again: "How can we form an army like this?"  The problem is that the Song Dynasty's army had a stubborn problem. The escape laws against deserters were also very detailed and the penalties were very severe. Of course, they were only in French.  But the French language is so loose, Zongze is worried that if it is implemented, there will be little restraint.  Wang Chong continued to look careless: "Isn't the imperial court more at ease?" Zongze hesitated and said nothing more. He listened to Wu Jin continue to recite, and he didn't even listen to the "penalty note", which was the wartime order.  After seeing how many cuts there were, his face became even more gloomy.  There are roughly seventy-two "penalties" in the military law of the Song Dynasty, sixty-eight of which are beheadings, such as "anyone who deserts the army will be beheaded", "a general who loses his master in a battle formation will be beheaded by his own soldiers", "whoever embezzles financial resources will be beheaded"  Those who do not follow the thieves will be beheaded." It ranges as small as "those who scream at night to scare the crowd," "those who fight for money and things in games and gambles, beheaded," "those who commit adultery against other women and those who bring women into the camp," and "those who are in battle or in front of thieves."  "Anyone who raises his voice without deserving of rumors will be executed", and there is also a "traitor" policy such as "Those who surrender to the thieves without fighting, or those who betray the country and return to the thieves, father and son will be hanged for more than sixteen years."  But there were only more than 20 punishments recited by Wu Jin, and less than half of them were beheaded. This made Zongze very confused.  "The harshness of military law lies in the face of battle. Since ancient times, the law has been strict and the law has been sparse. If the law is sparse, how far can it be achieved? Since we are determined to use the southwest, we must rely on strict laws and strict control.This Tibetan soldier, I helped you delay for another four months, not just to watch you mess around here.  " After reciting, Wu Jin and Wang Shiyi began to reorganize the Tibetan soldiers according to the organization of troops, teams, flags, and capitals. Zongze led Wang Chong out of the barracks and walked along the river outside the camp. At this time, his tone was very hesitant.  Wang Chong understood what Zongze said. Although the military laws of the Song Dynasty were strict and had clauses about beheading everywhere, the actual military laws were concentrated in the wartime regulations. The generals had the final say, and soldiers had to beheaded when stationed.  It¡¯s not that easy anymore. The Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and the local prison and prison departments and pacification departments all have the right to intervene. Like civil law, military law also follows the principle of caution in killing at ordinary times. Even if it is a "penalty clause" in wartime,  It is not that the general must act according to the order, but it sets a limit for the general who can be killed. In fact, it is up to the general to deal with the situation according to the actual situation and even his personal temperament. Wang Chong first participated in pacifying the Yanzhou Rebellion, and later served as the leader of the integration of military and political affairs.  Wen Zhaizhu had a deep understanding of the military law of the Song Dynasty. He did not just take it for granted that the military law of the Song Dynasty was too harsh, as did later generations who were military history enthusiasts.  This was due to his deeper consideration. He wanted to create a separate situation by recruiting Tibetan soldiers, rather than obeying the old situation of the Song Dynasty. Based on this, he did not need to consider the "strict law and sparse".  , what he wants is "integration of law and practice". It is not easy to explain this consideration to Zongze for the time being. Wang Chong can only continue to emphasize not to alarm the court. As for Zongze's accountability, he perfunctoryly said from another angle: "  The military in the south was weak.  If you can make the Tibetan soldiers respect orders and advance and retreat in a controlled manner, and then teach them the art of military formation, they will be able to defeat the surrounding barbarians.  "Zongze shook his head and said: "That's the truth, but in the eyes of the court, this matter is just like a joke" Before he finished speaking, Zongze was stunned. Not far ahead, there was another small building.  Camp. Yingying's laughter echoed in the camp, and it was a woman who was accompanying Zong Ze and said in disbelief: "Shou Zheng, let the prostitute open next to the military camp!"  ?  Wang Chong waved his hands repeatedly: "Those are the Bo female soldiers from Xingwen Village. They are good at using wooden crossbows. I asked them to teach them."  " Of course he would not leave Luo Canniang as a woman in the military camp. Instead, he asked her to set up a small camp outside the camp with a dozen or so female soldiers from Xingwen Village. In addition to the female soldiers, there were also those who came with him to Chengliu  Half of the forty native soldiers were from Xingwen Village. After Zhongqian was transferred, Wang Chong transferred the Luzhou volunteers who were originally stationed in the small military fort outside Xingwen Village to follow the routine of border forts.  Wenzhai was full of local soldiers. Zongze looked at Wang Chong, and his anger was palpable: "It's really a joke!  " If we follow the military law of banning the army from the imperial court. Wang Chong's move is enough to make him lose his official position, but this is a Tibetan soldier Then Zongze softened his expression and said with a wry smile: "But as you said, it does save a lot of trouble.  .  We really want to train a group of Tibetan soldiers who are stronger than the officers and soldiers.  Not to mention you and me, Bachelor Wang is going to Yazhou to go fishing.  " Zong Ying, who knew some inside information, sighed: "Shou Zheng, this time I bet the fate of my family with you, if the vassal barbarians to which these Tibetan soldiers belong are in trouble in the future.  That's a big problem!  " Wang Chong was about to speak when Zong Ze said: "Nineteen vassals.  How could it be terminally ill?  Zong Yingzheng changed his expression, and Zong Ze said again: "That's why we have to let them have merit and show themselves to the court as Shouzheng said. Then there will be minor troubles, which are insignificant."  "Although he didn't fully grasp Wang Chong's thinking, the old man's understanding was profound enough for Wang Chong to feel relieved. "You just train troops, and I will take care of the court.  But you must keep in mind that you cannot distribute official-made military armor to these Tibetan soldiers, and you cannot raise official and soldier flags" After another round of inspection, Zongze explained to Wang Chong in detail, returned to the camp to condolences to Tian Zhongsi and other followers of the feudal lords, and then left.  "My lord, I think the reason why Wang Shouzheng neglects military law is because he doesn't know how to fight!  " On the way to see her father off, Zong Ying severely belittled Wang Chong. Who allowed this kid to hug him and not let Wang Lun bring him benefits? " I don't know how to be a soldier?  Zhong Youzhi has said that if Wang Chong is willing to transfer his martial arts skills and join his brother Zhong Shidao, he will be able to become a master in less than ten years!  Otherwise, how could I trust him to take charge of this matter?  He has achieved actual results in pacifying the Bo barbarians in Yanzhou and pacifying the barbarians in Luzhou!  When you stay here, in addition to helping him pay attention to the taboo things, you also want to learn from him!  " Zongze's words made Zong Ying quite discouraged. She thought she was supervising Wang Chong for her father, but she didn't expect that her father had such a high opinion of Wang Chong. Zong Ying said to herself in dissatisfaction: "What's so difficult about training soldiers?  I am full of knowledge!  " In the big tent in the camp, Wang Chong said to Tian Zhongsi and others: "It is difficult to train troops, but it is difficult to reach the sky!  To train troops, you must also train generals!  You captains and flag commanders practice command and battle formations with the soldiers during the day, and listen to your own officers' lectures at night!  " Nineteen people were filled with bitterness at the same time, and they wanted to kill him.?Drilling day and night In the early morning, the sound of drums broke through the silent military camp. Soon, the Tibetan soldiers who drank gruel and ate cooking cakes gathered in the school field and began the first day of training.  The dazzling colors of uniforms are all gone. Everyone is wearing gray-yellow plain linen uniforms, and their hair is tied into a bun. The corps leader, flag leader, and escort bun are tied with a green belt, and the captain's bun is tied with a red ribbon.  Flags above the length are tied with purple ribbons.  The 700 or so people who were originally in chaos finally seemed to be a unit.  A team of five people, two sword players, two spearmen, and one archer.  There are three teams and one team. The team includes the flag leader, captain and escort, as well as two archers. There are fifteen people in each team.  The three teams and the other team are one flag, the flag leader is the same team, and there are fifty people in each flag.  The other Dutou team of the two flags is Yidu, the Dutou team has two teams, the Dutou team has the same team, one is the drum and bugle team, and there are one hundred and ten people in Yidu.  The above is the system of miscellaneous teams. In addition to miscellaneous teams, there are also pure bow and crossbow teams.  The team structure is the same, but except for the escort, captain, flag leader and Dutou, everyone else is an archer or crossbowman.  About 700 people were organized into five miscellaneous teams, one archery team and one crossbow team. It took Wu Jin and a dozen Xingwenzhai Bo soldiers who served as instructors for more than half an hour to get these people listed.  Army column.  "It will take half a month to distinguish the left and right, and to run without breaking up the formation" Looking at the chaotic queue.  Wang Shiyi muttered to Wang Chong.  "If you can't tell the difference, crack the whip. If you run again, whoever messes up the queue first will be whipped." Wang Chong only had three months, and the training had to be cramming, so he had to use the whip to help these ethnic minority compatriots grow up.  memory.  Running and marching are necessary subjects, but not the main subjects. They are only a transition to battle formation training and the beginning of the improvement of military discipline.  "Let Luo Dongfu's team wear armor and whip whips, so they won't be impressed. They have to be prepared to sacrifice heads." Wang Chong ordered again in a low voice.  Although he put a lot of effort into Tian Zhongsi to ensure that he would have support during the march, letting Tian Zhongsi help suppress him had already damaged his majesty and was just a last resort.  To improve military discipline, we have to rely on our own people.  Wang Shiyi solemnly accepted the order and left. After a moment, he said "Left" again, and countless people collided face to face. A group of instructors rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers, and picked up those who made mistakes and kept laughing.  out.  He waved his whip and beat him in public.  There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, but the commotion subsided before a group of armored soldiers led by Luo Dongfu could move.  The leaders of the feudal lords secretly suppressed it.  This made Wang Chong both disappointed and relieved. What was disappointing was that with the full support of the leaders, there was no way he could behead anyone.  It is gratifying that since it is so cooperative.  Training results should also be as expected.  As for why the leaders have this attitude, the imperial court teaches them how to fight. It is such a good thing, how can they not be active.  After being whipped once, he continued to separate the left and right, but the result did not improve much. The sound of the whip sounded again. Wang Chong stroked his forehead, thinking that this was indeed a threshold.  Wu Jin, who was shouting, spoke in Bianliang accent. Although these Tibetan soldiers were already smart people in each domain who could understand Chinese, the Sichuan accent was familiar to them.  The Sichuan accent in the Song Dynasty is not the same as the Sichuan dialect nine hundred years later. Bianliang Mandarin is not like Mandarin, which only differs from Sichuan accent in tone.  Fortunately, when the military law was recited yesterday, the leaders had already reacted to this problem. Wang Chong asked the Bo soldiers in charge to repeat Wu Jin's orders in Sichuan accent. The situation was better after that, at least language was eliminated.  Obstacles, only barriers to understanding where left and right cannot be distinguished.  In the morning, there is basic marching and running training, and in the afternoon there are two classes. The first class is battle formation training.  The basic unit of the battle formation is a team. Each team has five rows. The flag leader of each team leads four sword players in front, four spearmen in the back, and then four archers. The fourth row is the captain, and the fifth row is the captain.  The platoon is the escort team.  The Lancer is only one step away from the Blade player, and each subsequent row is two steps apart.  The close formation consists of three rows. The gunmen and sword players line up together. The captain joins the archer row, one step away from the other, and the escort team acts as the captain.  The three flags are spread out horizontally, vertically or folded, and the two flags are arranged on the left and right, forming a capital.  This is the formation of a miscellaneous team. Only the details of the pure team have changed.  Normal military training steps are of course not like this. Regardless of ancient or modern times, military training begins with the basic formation, then the battle formation, then the advance and retreat orders, and finally the battle formation changes.  However, Wang Chong doesn't have that much time. He doesn't really want to train these people into a strong army. Instead, he wants to instill an impression on these people through cramming, making them feel their backwardness and deepening their suspicion of the difference between China and Yi.  know.  In the afternoon, the Tibetan soldiers were led by their instructors into formation according to the lime line on the ground. They looked at the excitement on their faces, especially those of Liang Yang from Zunyi in Bozhou, Song Xiyi from Manzhou and Long Yanhao from Nanning.  A leader who has been appointed as the head of the capital is preparing for their acceptance of the most advanced military training of this era.Feeling proud, Wang Chong looked indifferent, but a hint of surprise slipped through his heart.  This is not the battle formation of the Huangsong Dynasty It is clearly an infantry formation that he improved from the Yuanyang formation, and he just used these Tibetan soldiers for experiments. ?????????????????????? But this was just a sudden appearance, and then he sighed. Although there were many factors that he took for granted, this battle formation was based on his combination of ancient and modern experience, as well as the actual situation in the Southwest. It can be regarded as a masterpiece that transcends the times.  The biggest feature of the Song Dynasty's step formation is its emphasis on projecting firepower. In the Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, there were eighty crossbowmen in a hundred-man army.  But projectile weapons require the support of national power. Not to mention bows and crossbows, the consumption of arrows is not a small amount. A feather arrow ranges from thirty to sixty coins, and a crossbow arrow is slightly less, also forty or fifty coins.  Thousands of people fight, and each person has ten arrows, which is four to five hundred arrows.  For the southwestern vassals with small families and small businesses, this was simply not something they could afford.  On the other hand, the southwest is mountainous and the terrain is rugged, so the large-scale crossbow battle formations used by the Song Army are not suitable here.  Therefore, in the formation of the miscellaneous troops decided by Wang Chong, the proportion of crossbowmen was reduced to less than one-third, which was actually close to the existing proportion of the southwestern vassals.  A separate pure crossbow unit was set up to supplement the firepower, concentrating the crossbowmen on key locations on the battlefield.  The formation of the miscellaneous team is based on Qi Jiguang's Yuanyang Formation. It consists of three layers of card players, long soldiers and support soldiers, and is divided into left and right wings.  This has low requirements on soldiers' operations and officers' command, and at the same time, it is convenient to deal with various situations in small battlefields.  Card players, also known as sword and shield soldiers, are a marginal role in the Song army's establishment, but they are very important in the south.  There are two reasons. First, the south is humid and armor is not easy to maintain. There is also little iron in the southwest. Iron armor is very expensive. There are very few large-scale equipment. The protection level of soldiers is low. It is also possible to use short soldiers holding rattan, wooden or leather tags as frontline defense.  As a last resort.  On the other hand, the terrain in the south is complex, and the dense formation of long soldiers that emphasizes flank defense cannot be used here. The sword and shield combination can still exert considerable combat power. This is also the key reason why the southwestern barbarians regard it as the main force.  Originally, there was no battle formation at all in the southwestern feudal battle. Even if the battle formation created by Wang Chong had flaws, relying on battle formation training could improve the organizational level of the army, and its combat effectiveness could be greatly enhanced.  Therefore, Wang Chong¡¯s impressiveness was quickly suppressed by his self-confidence.  As long as there is an opportunity for actual combat, further improvements can be made to this battle formation.  And this opportunity, he believed, would come soon.
