Chapter 19

After another month of military posture and pace training, Zhang Yun was still basically satisfied in terms of effect!

Compared with the military training of colleges in later generations, these newly recruited soldiers, in addition to their lack of understanding of instructions, both physical strength and perseverance have far exceeded Zhang Yun's expectations.

The training ground of the military camp was leaping, and the military camp was busy, and all the military funds needed by the entire army were delivered.

After counting and checking such things, someone will naturally do it, and Zhang Yun just checked it out roughly.

It has to be said that the iron smelting and manufacturing technology of the Song Dynasty has made considerable progress, and all these weapons are of high quality goods.

With their joining, Zhang Yun believes that the two thousand men under her will surely make the world's eyes shine.

Judging from the information collected so far, the Jin Dynasty was already thousands of miles away. If the war starts in the future, it will be a big test for logistics.

Zhang Yun clearly remembers that the Duanping entered Luoyang in later history books recorded in the difficulty of logistics supply, which led to a low morale. In addition, there was no cavalry, and the situation was eventually defeated.

When Zhang Yun thought of cavalry, he was one head and two big.

Ma Zheng of the Song Dynasty really doesn’t want to complain.

How weak was the horse political system in the Song Dynasty? I remember that there was a passage in the book in later generations: "There are 562 male, male and female horses in Raozhou, and 305 were killed, and 27 were born."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun wanted to curse her. She raised 562 stallions to breed, 315 dead, and the remaining 247 stallions raised 27 foals!

The cultivation rate is not a normal hundreds or thousands, but less than five percent! What a miserable data, it is just a data alone. As for things like "Ma Quangang died of the epidemic in Guangxi City", it is even more common.

The most ridiculous thing is that there were no pastures to raise horses in the Song Dynasty, but there were pastures to raise sheep. Lamb was the supreme amount of the palace ingredients used in the Song Dynasty, and it worked the best. The same was true among the people. As for the pastures, it was basically the poor and jingling sound in this era.

If Zhang Yun hadn't promoted the cooking technology, the "Dongpi Meat" invented by Su Dongpo could only be considered a self-deprecating!

Shaking his head, Zhang Yun put all these messy things behind his mind. He doesn’t lack money now, but the war horse is simply not worth buying even if he has money!

"Since the cavalry cannot be done, the scouts must be formed. Otherwise, if they go to the battlefield, what is the difference between them and dying!" After cursing, Zhang Yun wrote a letter to Han Tuozhou with shamelessness.

The content is probably that I have money and I need a war horse! As for the result, Zhang Yun was really unsure.

After handing over the military funds in a hurry, the civil servants responsible for escorting them all ran away one by one. Especially the big black man, with murderous aura on his face, he was really Alexander!

With the military funds in place, Zhang Yun summoned all the generals and discussed how to start military training. After all, a month of basic training has been completed, and he is not very good at the rest.

"I want to divide the entire army into: Gun Barracks, Knife and Shield Camps, Shenji Camps, Death Camps and Scout Camps." Zhang Yun paused for a moment when he said this.

Qin Ming, Xu Ping and Mo Youcai knew that the following words were the top priority!

"Xu Ping is the commander of the Gun Barracks, Qin Ming is the commander of the Dao and Shields Battalion, Mo Youcai is the commander of the Shenji Battalion, I am the commander of the Death Battalion, and I am the commander of the Scouts Battalion, and I am the commander of the Scouts Battalion!

As soon as Zhang Yun finished speaking, Qin Ming, Xu Ping and Mo Youcai expressed their opposition at the same time. They did not do anything else, just because the death camp should not be directed by Zhang Yun himself.

"Don't argue! I am just following General Bi!" As soon as this said, the three of them remained silent.

They knew about Bi Zaizhi's situation. His suicide camp must first fight every time, especially Bi Zaizhi's charge forward.

Since the Northern Expedition, only Bi Zai met Lian Zhan and won the victory, causing the Jin soldiers to flee.

"Talented, the Divine Arm Crossbow of Shenji Camp is immediately improved, the faster the better. We don't have much time!"

"Don't worry, the governor, I will understand!"

"Qin Ming, Xu Ping, you two should work hard and not make any mistakes!"

"I will understand!" the two of them replied in unison.

Zhang Yun nodded and continued: "From tomorrow, an emergency marching exercise will be added every three days!"

The reason for doing this is mainly because during Qin Ming's exchanges during this period, Zhang Yun learned about the marching speed of the Song and Jin armies.

According to Qin Ming's description, since most of the Song Dynasty's official troops were infantry, they usually marched twenty miles a day. If they were marching urgently, they could reach more than thirty miles.

But under normal circumstances, the generals of the Song Dynasty generally did not do this, because an army that was eager to rush was not only easy to attack, but even if they rushed to the battlefield, they were unable to immediately enter the battle due to a large amount of physical energy loss.

What do you rely on in the war in the era of cold weapons? Apart from morale, it is physical strength. If you don’t have enough physical strength, how can you fight?

On the other hand, the Jin army is much better! One cavalryman and two horses are no problem at all, and a hundred miles a day is not a problem. This is the biggest gap.

In fact, the Jin army also had infantry, otherwise who would defend after capturing the city?

Theoretically speaking, infantry accounts for at least half of a team of thousands of Jin troops. However, most of the infantry of the Jin army are servants, errands, etc., and their combat effectiveness is very low.

These servants or servants are not the combat power of the Jin army. At best, they can only fight or be cannon fodder. In other words, the Jin army generals didn't care about their lives or death at all.

Therefore, they will not care about their physical strength. Every time they march, they will drive them to speed up the marching speed as much as possible.

But often, the Jin army infantry marched about forty miles in one day, which was twice as many as the Song Dynasty's official troops.

In fact, there is another very important reason that cannot be ignored.

The armor of the Song Dynasty's official army was much heavier than that of the Jin army. The iron helmets and weapons together were less than 100 kilograms, at least about 80 kilograms.

Of course, it is impossible for soldiers to march in full armed forces, otherwise they will lose all their strength before they arrive on the battlefield. So do you still need to fight?

The reality is that the marching speed of the Song Dynasty's official army was dragged down by logistics mainly composed of baggage troops, handicrafts, etc.

This is also the reason why the Song Dynasty's official army was about to collapse when encountering the Jin cavalry.

The soldiers didn't have time to wear armor at all, so you don't have to think about the result of this kind of battle!

Let’s talk about the infantry of the Jin army. It’s good to have a secondary leather armor, but they are all cannon fodder anyway.

With the addition of weapons, this weight can be too light, just wear it directly on your body. Once the order is issued, you can immediately enter the battle.

Based on the situation of the two armies, Zhang Yun put forward the initial indicators for an emergency marching: "With the full body of load, marching for ten miles within half an hour!"

Such strict requirements certainly caused complaints, but when Zhang Yun and other generals ordered the same, everyone obediently shut their mouths.

In the current Song Dynasty, there were almost no generals who could share the joys and sorrows with their soldiers. Moreover, when Zhang Yun served in the army, he not only had good food, but also received much higher military pay.

People die for money, and birds die for food.

It’s not that Zhang Yun doesn’t want to brainwash them, but time doesn’t allow it!

Therefore, in August, caravans traveling on the official road near Lin'an City often see teams of official troops carrying full loads running like a lifelong battle.

It’s not okay to not play hard. Under the stimulation of high rewards, they don’t want to be the target of punishment.

In Lin'an Palace, Zhao Kuo frowned as he watched the memorials of Zhang Yun disturbing the people.

Since Han Tuozhou cried and told the elite soldiers Zhang Yun trained, Zhao Kuo was thinking about when he would take a look with his own eyes.

Zhao Kuo had never seen Han Tuozhou lose his composure!

If you think about it carefully, the fact that the literati and officials who talked about it all day long showed that Zhang Yun had made a lot of noise.

"The anger was rushing to the crown, and the rain stopped at the railing. Looking up, looking up at the sky, roaring with a long heart, and the spirits were fierce. Thirty fame, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait, the young man's head was white, and he was so sad! The shame of Jingkang has not yet been ached. When will the hatred of the ministers be destroyed? Drive a long car and step through the Helan Mountains. Ambition is hungry to eat the meat of the barbarians, laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns. Wait for the beginning to turn away, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and go to the sky."

A song of Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" blurted out, and Zhao Kuo felt that his blood was boiling. At this moment, it was probably only this poem that could express his feelings. All the ministers could do this, so how could he, the emperor, not know?
