Chapter 137

Xu Ping spoke so hard, but Han Qi was confused. In Han Qi's opinion, the army should be able to come and fight, so where is there any question of gathering and separation? As a result, he clenched his fists and hit people, it was even less profound theory, and it was far worse than what he said in the military books he usually read.

Although he didn't say it, Xu Ping also read what he meant from Han Qi's expression, and finally he could only stop helplessly. What else can he say? Xu Ping himself summed up these experiences from recruiting soldiers and leading soldiers in the sugarcane business ten years ago, and this also requires the insights from his previous life. In addition to being a local official, Han Qi was mostly a censor in the court, and he had few practical contacts, and he knew nothing about military affairs. He could fight just by reading military books? It was useless to learn about the story of war on paper.

Is the military book reasonable? Is it right? To be honest, most of them are reasonable and correct, but in reality, they must be combined with your own army and the situation you face.

You can come when you call it, and you can fight when you come. Why do you make your army do this? There are not many troops that can do this for thousands of years. I don’t know how much effort it takes to make the army you lead.

To clench your fists, in other words, when attacking, you must concentrate your superiority and strive to completely and cleanly eliminate the enemy. When defending, you must have real and virtual, focus on defense, and maintain the ability to concentrate troops to counterattack at any time. It is simple to say, it is difficult to do it, and it is not something that the army you govern by saying a word can do.

Controlling two groups of troops means unified command of military operations. He does not care about the leadership of the troops in normal times, otherwise Xu Ping would not have to tell Han Qi that he had been so worried about this for a long time. What he feared most was that during the war, he arranged military tasks for Han Qi, and he could not guarantee that the army of Jingyuan Road would be completed. What is the use of holding the responsibility afterwards? If the war is defeated, he also has to take the blame. He will win two more battles in more than a year, and it is impossible to defeat the record but only in a different way.

Most of these people who have left such great names in history have their own persistence in their hearts, and they cannot be easily convinced. This is not a bad thing, and Xu Ping also has his own persistence. It is precisely with this persistence that after training, he can become a pillar of the world and support the sky. The abominable thing becomes abominable, and Han Qi's training has come to Xu Ping.

Finally, Xu Ping said helplessly: "I have been in Qinzhou for more than a year. Since the Xuanwei Army and the Guiming Shenwu Army in the northwest, the local imperial guards, as well as the foreign soldiers and newly recruited soldiers from Sichuan and Shu, the training troops have been expanded to 50,000 or 60,000. In a few months, the army is still able to fight. I have some experience in doing these things. Let's do it together. Tomorrow we will go to Dingxi City together, where the newly recruited Sichuan and Shu are training, and the old troops are training. I hope you will be inspired."

Han Qi bowed and said, "Yunxing loves you well, I should live up to what I hope!"

Xu Ping shook his head slightly, no longer mentioned the two business affairs, but only drank with Han Qi, and told him about the past and what he had seen during the same year.

Starting from Qinzhou, passing Changshan Village, Qingjichuan, walking on the newly built Zheda Fort, and the avenue to Dingxi City has been built. Qinfeng Road is different from other routes. Xu Ping's principle is to try not to build the fortress that can be built as much as possible, and the governance and defense are mainly based on villages after the merger of clan tents. Even if the fortress that has been built, the defense mainly depends on local township soldiers and part of the wing army. The imperial guards sequence is stationed in several convenient military strongholds, and if necessary, cooperate with the wing army and the township soldiers to deal with local rebellions.

The arrangement of the main army is the organizational and institutional basis for the reunion and separation that Han Qi had mentioned earlier. If you call it, come, and those who come can fight. Why do you ask the army to do this? When you order the army to assemble, they each have their own combat tasks. They either wipe out this clan tent or deal with the rebellion. If the military order is ordered, others can come? Without the corresponding organization and system matching, this is just empty talk.

Han Qi rode on his horse and walked along the road in the valley side by side with Xu Ping. When he saw the road was flat, he could see a convoy transporting a large number of supplies from time to time. He walked side by side with pedestrians on the road, and said to Xu Ping: "When I left Beijing, everyone said that the northwest valley was crisscrossing and the road was rugged and inconvenient. As I saw on Jingyuan Road, it was indeed like this. But I didn't expect that the road here on Qinfeng Road was so wide, and the smooth and smooth mirror was smooth, and the traffic was convenient. With these avenues, it was much easier to march. I thought I had put in countless efforts and worked hard."

Xu Ping said: "No matter whether the army or the people, the road is the first priority. The Yu army does not have to say anything. The military situation is like fire. With a road, you can quickly march and gather quickly, and the materials can be transported conveniently and consumed less. To be honest, it is also a large army of ten thousand people. The military rations I use are less than half of the other three routes, and the civilians used are one-tenth of theirs. So the other three routes always report that there is insufficient food and grass, but I still have surplus here, all relying on the roads that have been built. For the people, if there is a road, there will be merchants who can transport local rich local products and transport the goods they need, which is richer than other places. The people are rich, and the garrison will have support, and the local people will not arouse dissatisfaction because of the garrison. Zhigui, when we go to the local area, we are the first priority for us to be an official in the local area. You have to record it."

Han Qi nodded. This is indeed a good idea. Renovating roads, bridges, and docks is a convenient move. It is comparable to promoting education and advocating farmers. It is the three major political achievements that can be effective as a local official. However, it is easy to say that to build such a wide road, the time is so short that it is difficult for other places to do it. Moreover, Qinfeng Road consumes less money and grain, and it also makes reasonable plans for transportation along the way. The water volume from the Jialing River to the Western Han River varies greatly seasonally, and the water volume is in the mountains and the water is in the mountains and the water capacity is much worse than that of plain rivers. Xu Ping asked Pang Ji to make a specific plan for this, and where to transport it by water, the water volume is appropriate. Immediately mobilize people and ships for transportation, along the way, and the front line of Xu Ping

There are clear statistics and plans for grain storage, and try to prevent sudden large amounts of grain transportation. This avoids land transportation. The materials from Sichuan and Shu are transported by water and sufficient. In fact, most of the Song army stationed in the northwest are located by the river, but the other three routes do not have a unified plan. They often do not use water conservancy when the water is sufficient. When the war is urgently needed for military rations in autumn and winter, they will widely transfer civilians by land, which will cause astonishing amount of losses. Xu Ping and Han Qi were too modest. With the same number of troops, the materials consumed by the other three routes should be more than three times that of Qinfeng Road. The military training, marching and fighting are very technical tasks. Without technical talents, doing things will often be half the result with twice the effort.

While walking, Han Qi saw that every large horse team or caravan meeting faced each other, he would take the initiative to avoid his right side and cross the road without any contradictory meeting, and did not give way to the road like other places. He couldn't help but ask Xu Ping: "Administratively, the caravan teams and horse teams would meet each other and cross the road to the right side. Is it also the rules set here? It's different from other places."

Xu Ping nodded: "This is for the convenience of transportation. As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about slowness when walking, but you are afraid of standing. If you stop a few times on the road, it will be wasted a lot of time. If you pass by this, it's just that everyone is a little slower and will not stop. It will naturally be much faster than usual. As for avoiding the right side of the road, it's just for the convenience of riding horses and chasing people to drink and rebuke livestock."

There were also traffic rules in this era. For example, the roads heading north on Sichuan and Sichuan were engraved on stone tablets and placed on the edge of the road. However, the rules in this era were mainly about the people avoiding officials, and officials and civilians avoiding military forces, and did not talk about walking left and right. Xu Pingding walked down to the right side of the road, which was just a habit he brought to his previous life. In fact, in this era, the left was respected and the left was reasonable.
