Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 43 Changzhi Joining the Army ([-])
Three years later

Han Jianyuan five years

Yusho-gun

Tens of thousands of Han soldiers assembled here, with military flags waving, wheels spinning, and horseshoes sounding chaotically.

"Captain of the Cavalry, Wang Changzhi!"

"To!"

"Cavalry Captain Zhang Cigong!"

"To!"

"Cavalry Captain..."

"To!"

……

In the army, Wang Hui's lieutenant-general is conducting roll call on each officer. The upper level checks whether the officers at the next level are present, and the officer at the next level checks whether the officers at the next level directly under him are present, and so on. It is the captain who checks that the soldiers in his ranks are present.

The corporal chief and the special chief manage a small number of people, and they are only responsible for assisting the captain in command, and there is no lower level for them to check, so the captain is actually the lowest-level officer.

根据人数的不同，军队分为伍、什、队、屯、曲、部、营，分别是五人、十人、50人、100人、500人、2000人、8000人。

Wu has a corps chief, Shi has a long, a team has a captain, a village has a village chief, a qu has a military marquis, a department has a Sima, and a battalion has a school lieutenant.

In three years, many things happened.

First, Zhao Tuo, king of Nanyue, died.

Then the emperor adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion, and added Doctors of Yijing, Shangshu, Shijing, Liji, and Spring and Autumn Five Classics on the basis of Doctors of Legalism, Doctors of Taoism, and Doctors of Confucianism, and established Confucianism as an official academic study.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager passed away, and the emperor finally got rid of the constraints of the harem. Immediately afterwards, Tian Fu was appointed prime minister.

After that, there was a military conflict between the Minyue Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom, and the Nanyue Kingdom asked the big man to mediate.

This is also the reason why Wang Changzhi and others appeared in Yuzhang County.

They are Qi Menlang of the Imperial Guards of Shanglinyuan. They are the emperor's personal soldiers in normal times, and they can directly serve as officers when they enter the army in wartime.

"Brother Changzhi, I heard that Dongfang Shuo, who was recommended together with us, has already entered the Golden Horse Gate. It seems that he will be reused by His Majesty, but we haven't even got a military merit, alas..."

"Don't worry, military exploits will come soon. This attack on Minyue Kingdom is our chance to make meritorious deeds."

While the two were discussing, the messenger held the military flag and rode fast horses between the various teams to shout.

"Let's go! Slow down!"

"Let's go! Slow down!"

"Let's go! Slow down!"

Then, the two saw a huge red panda-patterned army flag waving at the front.

This is the semaphore of the army, which is similar to that of the Liaodong royal family. It should be said that the semaphore of the Liaodong royal family is a direct copy of the Han semaphore, with only slight changes in some details.

The semaphore is the knowledge that every officer and elite soldier must learn. Otherwise, in a team of tens of thousands, the lower-level officers will not hear the command of the commander. If they fail to attack, the entire team will be completely messed up.

Waving a panda-patterned military flag means "Let's go! Go slow!" If you wave two panda-patterned military flags at the same time, it means "Go! Hurry!" If you wave three panda-patterned red flags, it means "Stop moving forward immediately" .

In addition, there are various forms of formation, dispersal, breakthrough, assembly, rest, retreat with luggage, retreat with luggage, cavalry attack, archer attack, infantry attack, so-and-so team cover, so-and-so team forward, etc. Wait for the flag and semaphore.

At the same time, in order to ensure that some officers may be dazzled, and that some military orders are indeed too complicated to be expressed in the language of the military flag, there must be special messengers who ride fast horses to shuttle between the teams to send orders to each team. The lower-level officers convey the commander's combat orders, and the lower-level officers continue to issue the commander's orders to the soldiers in the troops under their command.

Everyone has learned the language of the military flag, so each officer issued military orders to the soldiers in his ranks.

"Let's go! Slow down!"

"Let's go! Slow down!"

"Let's go! Slow down!"

Wang Changzhi also conveyed the commander's order to the cavalry team he commanded in this way, and led them forward slowly.

In the whole team, the vanguard of heavy armored cavalry is at the front to protect the Chinese army, and the back of the heavy armored cavalry is also used to protect the Chinese army at the end. The head of the Chinese army is where the coach is, which is the command center of the whole team Once attacked there, the entire army would be paralyzed.

On both sides of the Chinese army are the cavalry captains leading their own cavalry troops to protect the two wings of the Chinese army. Wang Changzhi is one of them.

And the core part of the Chinese army is many teams that are separated according to the command of the officers. Each team has an officer's deputy who is dedicated to carrying the flag of his own team to prevent the soldiers in his team from getting separated or running to other places. Go in line.

In the middle of these Chinese infantry, there are baggage vehicles for transporting grain and grass and a passage specially reserved for the messengers.

If the passage of military orders is blocked by running around without authorization, the soldier will be punished, and the officers of his team will also be punished by the system of consecutive sittings.

And around the whole team, there are hundreds of scouts scattered. These scouts are the elite among the elite. They will always follow the army and scout out whether there are enemy ambushes where the army is going to pass.

When marching in the territory of the Han Dynasty, in order to save energy, everyone marched lightly. When they were about to enter the enemy's territory, the commander asked the soldiers to put on armor and march.

In addition to this army, there will be a logistics army to transport more food for the soldiers, and their number is often more than twice the number of the army.

"Report to the captain, I want to relieve myself!"

During the march, a cavalry soldier in Wang Changzhi's cavalry team wanted to relieve himself.

Wang Changzhi did not directly answer the soldier's request, but looked at the military flag at the front of the army.

It was found that there was a blue military flag with seven stars standing in front of it, which meant that the soldiers were allowed to solve the three emergencies during the march, but they had to return to their own team as soon as possible.

Under normal circumstances, marching within the territory of one's own country would allow the soldiers to solve the three urgent problems. Only when they were about to reach the territory of the enemy's country, would the military flag stand up to represent that they were absolutely not allowed to leave the team.

Seeing the permission of the commander-in-chief's flag, Wang Changzhi replied with confidence to the soldier who asked for urgency: "Go, remember to return to the team early, or I will record you as a deserter."

"promise!"

The soldier was very happy. He held back all the way. He was embarrassed to bring it up before. He was also illiterate and could not understand the semaphore. It's over.

Each team does not walk around randomly. In the army, each team has its corresponding position and cannot intersect with other teams. In the team, each soldier also has its own corresponding position and cannot be in the position of others. march up.

When the soldier went to have a rest, on the passage of the military order, a deputy general of the commander rode a fast horse to check the situation of each cavalry team. When he saw that the cavalry team led by Wang Changzhi was vacant, he asked Wang Changzhi: "Why are you missing someone here?"

"Tell the general that he went to have a rest and will be back later." Wang Changzhi replied truthfully.

"En." The lieutenant nodded, and then rode on to continue to inspect the situation of other cavalry teams.

After a while, the deputy general came back again, and saw that there was still no one in Wang Changzhi's team, so he reprimanded him: "I'll come back later to inspect again, if there are still few people here, even if there is a deserter here, I will You will be dealt with consecutively in accordance with military law!"

"promise!"

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Changzhi's forehead, and he prayed in his heart that the soldier just had a pee, so he wouldn't be a deserter and hurt himself.

After a long time, the soldier finally rode back to Wang Changzhi's team according to the military flag of Wang Changzhi's team.

"Why did you go there, boy? It took so long to urinate?" Wang Changzhi was very dissatisfied. The soldier delayed him for too long and almost killed him.

"Report to the captain, I, I... I'm here to make a big fuss."

"roll!"
