The crossing starts from the Datang Shuanglong

Chapter 16
Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

Gao Zhandao, a group of water thieves who were born in the army, seemed to know this truth, and they surrendered so neatly without Chu Tianxiu paying attention to the thatched cottage.

The joining of Gao Zhandao really saved Chu Tianxiu a lot of energy and a lot of trouble.

This is not to say that someone like Gao Zhandao with outstanding abilities and superb military skills, like Bai Qi Han Xin, can help Chu Tianxiu conquer cities and conquer the world as soon as he comes up.

Even if he is, Chu Tianxiu, who is only a small foundation at present, can't afford it, can't use it.The greatest value in him does not lie in his own wisdom and ability, but in that he was an officer of the Sui Dynasty, was familiar with the drill codes of the Sui Dynasty army, and understood the organization and tactics of the classical army.

In addition, there are about [-] or [-] veterans under him, who can be used as instructors for training soldiers.

A few days ago, Chu Tianxiu attacked all over the place, trying to wipe out the water bandits in various ways, which caused the water bandits under him to expand like a snowball, and quickly formed a large-scale army with 300 soldiers. Many water bandits, [-] large ships and more than [-] small boats, controlled [-] water villages along the Yangtze River. The sea bandits really relied on the most primitive methods to accumulate the "first bucket" of his own foundation. gold".

Water thieves of this scale can't even be limited by water thieves, they can be compared to some weaker rebels, so Chu Tianxiu directly named his force Zhen Haijun to show that it is different from the past water pirates.

In terms of personnel, Chu Tianxiu didn't go out of his way, and he didn't give himself the title of king. He only called himself the commander of the town's navy, and he had more than 800 townsmen under his command. [-] people, in addition to his own control of the first army, Gao occupied the road, Chu Ren was the captain, and the other two armies were in charge, and Xingrong was the captain of the supply chain, who controlled the logistics.

It is obvious that Chu Tianxiu spent so much effort to encircle and suppress water bandits and establish a foundation, not because he wants to be a "One Piece" for fun, but because he has a greater interest.

What he will do next is naturally to "turn bandits into an army" and train them into a real army for his own use.

If these water bandits are still the same as in the past, he has to do everything himself and lead the team in order to form a basic fighting force, then should he raise some men, or raise some uncles.

Therefore, after taking down Gao Zhandao, a group of extremely critical water bandits, in a planned way, they finally stopped the conquest and chose a Jiangxin island with a radius of more than ten miles near Yang, which was expanded due to sedimentation in later generations. Dozens of times the place where Yangzhong City is located.

After Chu Tianxiu sent people to investigate the island, he found that although the island was sparsely populated, there were still many refugees and water bandits camping there, so they directly attacked the largest place in the area with about three to five hundred people. A rogue stockade occupied by water bandits, after occupying it, it has been repaired a little bit here, using this as its own base, intending to rectify the rogues here and train them well.

In fact, Chu Tianxiu had this plan long ago, but regardless of his previous life or this life, Chu Tianxiu had never been a real soldier, so naturally he had no experience in training soldiers.

If one only relies on the experience of training in military training in previous lives and hanging out in gangs to train the army, even if the effect of training soldiers will not be the same, it will be twice the result with half the effort, and there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps.

No matter how serious Chu Tianxiu was, he couldn't use his "military training method" directly on those water bandits, otherwise it would be a trifling matter of taking human lives.

The existence of Gao Kaidao and the instructors under him really helped Chu Tianxiu make up for a big flaw, so that his training plan could be realized smoothly.

After discussing with Gao Zhandao, Chu Tianxiu added some military postures and formations according to the Sui Army's drill code. The elite Sui army demanded training standards, so they chose to train these water bandits hard.

Even at the beginning, it was just training the military posture and walking in the queue to change the appearance of these water bandits, but it made the water bandits feel very dissatisfied.

The reason why these people want to go to the river to beg for life is not to suffer.Even though Chu Tianxiu took the lead and personally participated in the training, leading these water bandits to train, they still complained endlessly. More than 20 water bandits wanted to seize the boat and escape that night.

Chu Tianxiu was not polite when he was killing people on the river, how could he be polite at such a critical time.That night, Chu Tianxiu personally led people to chase after them, brought back the heads of the more than 20 fleeing people, hung them on the flagpole of the training ground, and then silenced the remaining water bandits, obeying the rules obediently Drill it up.

After practicing like this for about ten days, I finally got the appearance of some soldiers, added some formations, long-distance running, learned to listen to the sound of drums and flags, and practiced basic martial arts again.

However, after the 30 days of training, Chu Tianxiu also faced the problems that all ancient training troops had to face.

……

"Brother, this is really going to die, the granary only has 20 days of grain left!

According to General Gao's training method, even if we don't consider the situation of meat, we will run out of food reserves.

By that time, our town navy will really have no way to carry it on. "

But in just half a month, Xing Rong, who was originally younger than Chu Tianxiu, seemed to be more than ten years older, and said with a very complaining tone.

I'm running out of food!

In this era of military training, in fact, the most important thing is not queue discipline or anything like that.

Even in this era, books on the art of war are still passed down in the secrets of various families, but the basic methods of training soldiers can be understood by ordinary soldiers, even middle and lower ranks in the army.

The reason why those imperial courts, high-ranking lords, and big bandits like Li Mi and Du Fuwei can support a group of real regular troops is not because of the lack of generals who train troops, but because of the simplest and cheapest thing——

food.

In the past month for him, military food has not yet been a problem.When relying on him to destroy [-] or [-] water villages and train and train those water bandits with the method of fighting and raising wars, the food and money seized from the new water bandits can not only meet the daily needs of those water bandits, It can even be said to be more than enough.

But after Chu Tianxiu stopped his conquest and asked Gao Zhandao to train those water bandits in the way of training the regular Sui army, when the six thousand stones of food in his hand were half empty, did he I really realized what it feels like to spend money like running water.

"Food shortage is indeed a major issue. If you persist for a month, I will go to Jiangyin County and snatch back the rudder port of our Jiangyin sub-rudder. At that time, we can use the strength of the Bamboo Flower Gang to solve the problem. That's the problem."

After Chu Tianxiu heard the news, he knew that if the army ran out of food, it would definitely not be a trivial matter, so he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and said so.

"Brother, this doesn't work, the food we have is enough for a month, but now we don't have enough meat!

Even if I order the two hundred fishermen under my command to fish hard every day, the daily catch can only be about a thousand catties, but the meat we eat in the navy every day is at least two thousand catties, but Where can it be.

To be honest, the food is not bad, and it can last for a month or so, but if this continues, our army will run out of meat in at most six days. "

It's okay not to mention meat, but when it comes to meat, Xing Rong's face is full of sorrow, almost squeezed into the word "囧", obviously these days, he is about to be worried about these expenses.
