"Haha, okay, that's great.
They even dragged villagers from nearby villages to make up their numbers in an attempt to deceive the general's inspection.
This kind of thing has never been heard of by the general since he was in the army.
If this matter is told, I'm afraid it will be more than shocking. , it will still shock the ruling and opposition parties.”
Zhao Ziliang said with a sneer and looked at the generals and lieutenants on the parade stage.
The generals and lieutenants were even more uneasy, and then asked: "This general is very curious, who came up with this method?
Is he really a genius?"
How can a man waste his talents by staying in the army?
He should be sent to the court to offer advice to the Holy Emperor and the court, don’t you think so?”
A captain bravely faced Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, Pei Lie asked us to do this.
If he hadn't asked us to do this, how would we have the courage to do this?"
Zhao Ziliang sneered and said: "Pei Lie is not bad, he is still useful even after death."
Another captain stood up and bowed, clasping his fists and saying: "General Mingjian, this matter was indeed done by Pei Lie and asked the general to do it.
The general will never dare to deceive the general."
Zhao Ziliang held the handle of the knife and circled around the captains, judges, chief historians, marching commanders, and recording officers, making them break out in cold sweat.
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly and waved to Brahan.
Brahan came over and cupped his hands and said, "General, what are your orders?"
"Prepare money to pay these villagers who have been brought in temporarily to top up their income.
Ten cents per person.
After paying them, let them go home.
Don't make things difficult for them."
"promise" Zhao Ziliang shouted again: "Where is the long history?"
A middle-aged man who was as thin as a stick ran over and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "I have seen the general before, but I don't know what the general's orders are."
"Inform the kitchen to prepare meals for the entire army.
Make sure everyone is full and has meat."
Gao Shang immediately agreed: "Yes, General, I will handle the situation properly."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and shouted: "Where is the marching Sima?"
A middle-aged general came out and saluted with clasped fists: "The last general Xue Qianxun pays homage to the general."
Zhao Ziliang pointed to the generals on the school field and said: "Now you will direct the entire army's drill.
First, they will practice the formation march, then they will practice individual offensive and defensive combat movements, then they will practice tactical coordination, and finally they will practice formation conversion drills.
I want to see the formations of each battalion.
"Practice Situation" Xue Qianxun cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Yes."
Then Xue Qianxun asked the drummers to beat the drums and began to direct the first battalion to conduct drills.
Zhao Ziliang and other generals stood aside and watched.
While watching the drill, Zhao Ziliang said to the generals around him: "You all tell me the truth, what is the real situation of each battalion, one by one.
No matter how bad the situation is, I can bear it and will not pursue it any more." , but if someone deceives me this time, don’t blame me for being ruthless."
After hearing this, the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ziliang also knew that he could not kill or replace all of them, otherwise he would not be able to control the Datong Army, even if these people had done bad things before and wanted to replace them or punish them. , now is not the time either.
Next, Zhao Ziliang watched the soldiers drill on the school field and listened to reports from the captains and deputy captains of each battalion.
Zhao Ziliang believed that this report should be the real situation of the Datong Army, because he felt chilled after hearing it.
Cool.
The soldier roster records that the Datong Army has a total of 12,686 people, including baggage carriers, cooks and civilian officials, and 2,828 war horses.
However, the actual situation is that today’s Datong Army The real strength of the army was only 8,852 men, and the war horses were only 1,653.
The real number of troops and horses was only six that existed on paper.
However, only 70% of the qualified soldiers' armor and war horse armor are qualified.

Many people wear moldy and damaged items that have been pulled out from the warehouse, and more than 10% of the soldiers have no armor at all.
The bows and crossbows were also seriously lacking, and many of the weapons were rusty and chipped.
How could such equipment be used in battle?
This ratio made Zhao Zi's conscience feel chilly.
Fortunately, before coming, Tian Renwan, the governor of Hedong Province, also told Zhao Ziliang that the Datong Army had the largest number of troops, the most complete equipment, the strongest combat effectiveness, and the strongest morale among the entire Hedong Army.
However, in Zhao Ziliang's view, if the Datong Army now This situation can be called a complete If he is the most powerful being in the Hedong Army, then the other armies and county soldiers will all be reduced to scum.
Taking the situation of empty pay in the Datong Army as a reference, the entire Hedong Army should have fifty-five thousand troops on paper.
Thousands of soldiers and horses, in fact, there should be less than 35,000 people standing up to the sky.
The situation is much more serious than Zhao Ziliang imagined before he came.
With the current combat effectiveness and morale of the Datong Army, if he wants to take them to fight, he is afraid that they will collapse as soon as they come into contact with the enemy.
After listening to the true and detailed reports of these generals, Zhao Ziliang felt depressed.
He took a few deep breaths and exhaled before he felt better.
Zhao Ziliang, who was already very unhappy, felt even worse after seeing the training conditions of the soldiers in each battalion.
After holding back his dissatisfaction and watching the training of all the soldiers, Zhao Ziliang gritted his teeth and ordered all the troops to return to the camp to stand by, and all the captains of each battalion stayed.
Come down and discuss matters.
In the Captain's Hall of the First Battalion of the Datong Army, Zhao Ziliang sat on a big chair and looked coldly at the generals on the left and right below.
The generals did not dare to speak loudly, and were trembling with fear, fearing that Zhao Ziliang would spread his anger on them.
They But I no longer dare not to take this new military envoy and Jiedu ambassador seriously.
"Today, the number of soldiers in the army is only 70% on paper, the defensive armor is only 80%, and more than 20% of the weapons, bows and crossbows are scrap, and morale is low.
It is okay for such an army to scare the people, but if it is dragged to the battlefield, it will Talk about attacking the Turks in the north, The Xi tribe and the Khitan people, even if they fight bandits, let’s talk about it.
What should we do now?
One by one, they stand up and say that if a feasible solution is not presented today, no one is allowed to eat or go back until a feasible solution is presented.
Until we can find a solution" Zhao Ziliang put down his harsh words, which made all the generals present sit on pins and needles and feel bitter in their hearts.
They all thought that it was no wonder that the new young military envoy and Jiedushi ambassador could sit in this position.
Such power and means are really Not something ordinary people can have.
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, no one stood up to speak for nearly two minutes.
His anger rose again.
He looked at the captain of the first battalion and said coldly: "Battlemaster Duan, you speak first."
Captain Duan of the First Battalion couldn't help but smile bitterly, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "General, I really can't think of a way, please punish me."
"Humph, then you stand here and don't sit down again."
Zhao Ziliang dropped a sentence as punishment, and then looked at the people behind him.
Captain Bao of the second battalion lowered his head and stood up and said solemnly: "General, general, finally Shogun didn’t come up with a solution.”
"Stand still," Zhao Ziliang said, looking at Captain Lu of the Third Battalion again.
Unexpectedly, Captain Lu of the third battalion stood up before he could ask questions and said with shame, "General, I am incompetent and have no idea of a solution."
"Peng" Zhao Ziliang was furious and smacked the case fiercely: "You are a bunch of trash, you are a bunch of trash.
How could you be so capable when you were eating empty wages, embezzling food wages, and reselling ordnance supplies?
Now let them imagine how to solve the problem."
In the current predicament, why can't we find a way to come and drag these three losers out and beat them with twenty army sticks each?"
"Nuo" A group of subordinates rushed in with swords drawn on their waists and dragged Captain Duan, Captain Bao and Captain Lu out one by one.
After a while, they heard the beating of sticks and the sound of the three captains coming from outside the lobby.
Cries of pain.
The remaining generals in the hall became even more uneasy when they heard these voices.
At this time, Judge Zheng stood up and said: "General, if we want to change the current unfavorable situation in the army, we can recruit troops immediately.
When we have enough troops, we will also seek help from Master Tian, the Commander-in-Chief of Jiedushi, and ask the Commander-in-Chief to allocate some weapons and equipment to eliminate the old and defective products.
As for the training, we will have to trouble all the captains and generals below. ”.

After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang asked: "Money is needed to recruit soldiers.
Where does the money come from?
As for asking Lord Tian for help, Lord Tian may allocate part of it.
Lord Tian is in charge of not only our three states and two armies, but also other military towns."
We need money and weapons and equipment, and it’s impossible for us to have enough weapons and equipment.”
Master Zheng was also speechless by Zhao Ziliang's rhetorical question.
It was all about money.
There was originally a residence for the Datong Army Jiedushi Ambassador in Yunzhou City, but his predecessor took the money and ordnance in stock.
All the supplies have been lost.
How can we get the money now?
The New Year has just ended, and it is time to be busy with spring plowing.
Even if we have money, we may not be able to recruit enough soldiers.
There is another issue that makes Zhao Ziliang even more worried, and that is grain and grass.
From the beginning of spring to the summer harvest and autumn harvest, there are several months of lean season.
How to meet the grain and grass needs of the army during this period?
And Zhao Ziliang is now It is not only the Datong Army that is in charge, but also the grain, grass, weapons and weapons of the Kelan Army and Yunzhong Shou, which need to be solved by him as the left wing soldier and horse envoy.
As for the food and salary of the soldiers in the three states, the local government is responsible for solving it.
He worries.
At this time, Chang Shi Gaoshang stood up.
He felt that if he didn't stand up and speak, Zhao Ziliang would probably turn his anger on everyone.
This can't be blamed on Zhao Ziliang for being crazy.
He can only blame these people here for being too greedy in the past and destroying the entire Datong Army.
It's all messed up.
Zhao Zi only killed a few main characters without implicating others, which is already pretty good.
"General, now we can't find a way to raise money to recruit soldiers to make up the number of soldiers, and we don't have any money left to equip the soldiers with weapons, armor, horses, and food.
In my opinion, it's better to downsize the entire army and eliminate some more.
The old, weak, sick and disabled, leaving only the strong and capable soldiers, so Our burden will be greatly reduced if we come here.
If we try to get some weapons and ammunition from Mr.
Tian, we should be able to downsize enough to be used by the Datong Army.
As for the food and grass problem, I can think of a way to solve it in two months. , there is nothing the official can do about the remaining part.”
Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "Master Gao, this is a good idea.
The art of war says that soldiers are more valuable than more.
We only have more than 8,000 people now, so we should reorganize and dismantle them according to the number of 8,000 people."
For some old, weak, sick and disabled people, how much money is left in the treasury to pay severance pay to the old, weak, sick and disabled people who have been eliminated?"
Gao Shang cupped his hands and said: "General, there are still 4,337 coins left in the treasury, which is enough to pay severance pay to the old, weak, sick and disabled who have been laid off
