Chapter 98: The Mo Knife Team and the Scout Team


After Zhao Ziliang vigorously rectified the military discipline and drill matters of the garrison in Diaoyuan City within half a month, they were finally on the right track.

The mental outlook of the soldiers, generals, and officials and the atmosphere in the military camp have undergone fundamental changes.

All day long in the military camp, the soldiers could be heard shouting slogans and marching in unison.

Until now, Shule garrison has not sent new deputy envoys and soldiers to join the army.

Zhao Ziliang left all logistical matters to his confidant Zheng San, the newly appointed deputy military officer of Shouchuo Mansion.

In addition to handling some military affairs in Shouchuo Mansion, he spent time in the military camp with the soldiers.

Training, eating and living together, plus his series of stick and carrot tricks, soon made him respected, feared and loved.

On the school field, Zhao Ziliang held a waist knife and watched the soldiers practicing.

Suddenly he remembered something, so he brought Huo Kan, Liang Qi, Chen Biao and others behind him to the Shouchuo Mansion.

He also brought the commander Shi Cui Jianlin, the judge Dou Ming, and Xing Official Di Yin and others came to discuss matters, and even Wei Meng, Lei Wu, and Li Siye who were still recovering from their injuries were called over.

"This general understands that our garrison in Diaochang City does not have Ye Bushou and Mo Dao Team.

This is not acceptable.

Although we are a garrison and have few opportunities to go out to fight, we must make some preparations.

Although the sparrow is small, it has five internal organs.

Everything is ready.

We will do the same when changing the city's garrison.

The general decided to set up a scout team and a Mo Dao team in the army respectively, and selected brave and capable elites from each battalion to form them.

What do you think?"

Huo Kan, the deputy lieutenant of the third battalion, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, if we want to increase the scout team and the Mo Dao team, this will exceed the original establishment of the garrison, and I don't know if the superiors will allow it.

If soldiers are transferred from each battalion, this will It will also cause a shortage of people in each battalion.”

The establishment of Modao Team is good news for Li Siye.

He is good at using Modao and has a good understanding of Modao Team's training and combat methods.

He is very in favor of it.

However, it is newly established in the military.

Creating a new unit is not a simple matter, especially the attitude above, and the source of equipment is also a problem.

Li Siye bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "The general wants to establish a scout team and a Modao team, and my subordinates are in full agreement.

However, Deputy Lieutenant Huo's worries are not unreasonable.

Not to mention the attitude above, just the source of the equipment is an issue. " Modao is one of the standing weapons in the Tang army.

Due to the improvement of forging and smelting technology in the Tang Dynasty, the weapons of the Tang army, especially Hengdao and Modao, are extremely sharp.

However, not all Tang armies have Modao teams.

They are generally only Equip field troops, such as Shule Army, Kucha Army, Han Haijun, Tianshan Army, etc.

Among these field troops with strong combat effectiveness, there are specialized Mo Dao Corps.

The forging technology and craftsmanship of the Mo Dao are extremely complicated and the cost is also very expensive.

This is one of the reasons for the decline of the Mo Dao after the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, it was not equipped with the Tang Army on a large scale.

Unlike the Heng Dao, almost every Tang Army soldier had one.

Bundle.

If you don't get the equipment of the Modao team from regular channels, it will not be easy to form a Modao team.

Zhao Ziliang said: "I will write a letter to the garrison envoy, General Fu Meng, to try to win the support of General Fu Meng.

Cui Changshi, the number of troops in our garrison should not be complete.

How many vacancies are there?"

The governor of the city, Shi Cui Jianlin, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "What the general said is true.

According to the regulations, I transferred the city's garrison, excluding generals, officers and officials.

The number of troops is 1,288.

The current actual strength is The number is one thousand and twenty-eight, leaving a vacancy of two hundred and sixty.”

"That's just right."

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "Then recruit another 260 people to make up for the number of troops stipulated above.

You are all here today.

I will emphasize one point to you.

No one is allowed to eat free money. , withhold soldiers' pay, what happens to other military towns and garrisons, I don't care, but I am responsible for it In the transfer city, there will be no such thing as empty pay or deduction of military pay.

The general will send special people to investigate at any time.

Once discovered, we will handle it according to the rules and all the officials, scribes, etc. and military lieutenant generals will be killed.

You are not allowed to engage in business.

Once discovered, you will be dismissed immediately.

However, I also know that you only rely on a small salary.

If you have to maintain your family's daily expenses, your life will definitely be tight.

This general has also considered this for you.

First, the Shouzhuo Mansion will provide you with a monthly subsidy based on your official position, military rank, and military rank.

Although It’s not much, but it should be enough for the family to live well.

Second, civil servants make plans and handle official affairs.

If a general has done well and has achieved military merit, the general will reward him from time to time, and the amount of reward depends on the merit; thirdly, every time he fights, all the seizures will be returned to the public, and then converted into money, and 20% will be reserved for the governor.

Eighty percent will be used to reward all officers and men with meritorious deeds, and more rewards will be given to those who have made meritorious deeds.

I, the general, will not take a penny."

These regulations of Zhao Ziliang have, to a certain extent, curbed the occurrence of empty pay and theft of military pay.

At the same time, they can encourage officials and generals to earn a lot of income through their own efforts.

Although some officials and generals felt uncomfortable, they had nothing to do.

Most officials and generals expressed their support for Zhao Ziliang's regulations.

After all, not everyone has the mind to make money in the military.

Most officials and generals did not Hoping to gain fame in a fair environment, Zhao Ziliang formulated these regulations to give them a fair platform.

"Everyone, although our Tang Dynasty is not the dynasty that attaches greatest importance to military merit in history, it is the dynasty that respects the status of warriors the most.

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

How many world-famous generals have been produced by our military generals in the court?

In the eyes of ordinary people, their status is no worse than that of civil servants.

In which dynasties and generations of military generals have such generous treatment?

Isn’t it just to fight for a living?

We have such treatment, for one Is it worth a little money to ruin your reputation by doing those dirty things of withholding military pay and emptying your pay?

Pin it on your waistband.

Military pay is the money they exchanged for their lives.

Every copper plate is stained with blood.

Can we feel at ease with such money?

We wake up in nightmares every night.

This feeling is really Do you feel good?"

Many officials and generals on both sides bowed their heads in shame when Zhao Ziliang said this.

It can be seen that these people have done this kind of thing before, but Zhao Ziliang did not pursue it because this kind of thing has become the norm in the military. , and Zhao Ziliang wants to correct this unhealthy trend, it cannot be solved by killing a few people.

Not pursuing the past matters will also give these people a chance to change their ways.

These people are not stupid, and they all know Zhao Ziliang's mean.

Lei Wu stood up and knelt on the ground with a plop.

He said to Zhao Ziliang with a look of shame on his face: "General, I am guilty.

I have deducted the soldiers' military pay before.

Today, after hearing what the general said, I realized that I was wrong. , and it has brought shame to our military generals.

Tomorrow, my subordinates will hand over the military pay that was withheld and ask the general to punish him."

Zhao Ziliang was very pleased.

He stood up from the case and stepped forward to help Lei Wu up and patted his shoulder: "It is a good thing to know your mistakes and be able to correct them.

Being able to admit your mistakes requires great courage.

I would also like to thank you, general."

You, if you don’t trust this general, how can you admit your mistakes frankly?

This general will not pursue any previous matters, but this will never be allowed to happen again in the future, and the same will be done to other people."

Zhao Ziliang returned to the desk and knelt down, then said: "Okay, let's get down to business and negotiate with the superiors to win the support of the governor's office.

I will do it.

However, this matter cannot be delayed.

I, the general, will decide what the Modao team will do."

The number of troops is 200, organized into a battalion.

The chief officer was Li Siye.

Before the third battalion had no new captain, Li Siye also served as the third battalion's captain.

The scout team had fifty soldiers and was organized into a team.

The team was headed by Wang Can.

After Wang Can took up the post of commander of the scout team, all the general's retinues were led by attendants.

Commander Chu Ge.

In addition, the training of the Modao team and the scout team is much harder, more tiring, and more dangerous than other soldiers.

As soon as you join, you will be automatically promoted to the first level of military rank, and the military salary will be higher than that of other military personnel.

The number of troops is twice as high.

The strength of these two teams is drawn from the brave and elite men from other battalions.

The two chief officers have the right to choose from each battalion at will.

Regarding how to raise the weapons and equipment of the Modao team, the general himself There is a way, but the recruitment of these soldiers depends on you."

Judge Dou Ming cupped his hands and said: "General, I don't know what the main targets of the recruitment of soldiers are: recruiting all Han people, recruiting all strong men of local ethnic groups, or recruiting some of each.

If we want to recruit all Han people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit all the people here.

We still have to send people to various parts of the Central Plains to recruit.

If we just recruit Recruit some Han people.

There are quite a few Han people in Anxi who committed crimes and were expelled from the army.

You should be able to recruit some of them.

In addition, you can also report to the garrison and ask the garrison to add enough troops, but this will have to wait. , and I don’t know when the garrison will be able to mobilize additional soldiers.”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "I can't afford to wait, so I will first send people to recruit some strong Han men from various places in Anxi.

If it is not enough, then recruit some strong men from various local ethnic groups to make up the number."
