My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 96 Military Neutrality
Wang Lin finally agreed to meet Jiao Pingshan, and it was already half an hour later.

After Jiao Pingshan saluted, he was even more shocked to see that Wang Lin was younger and weaker than he had imagined.

After all, Wang Lin's reputation as the leader of the martial arts department is too great. The image of Wang Lin that Jiao Pingshan imagined in the rumors is completely different from what he saw in reality, and the contrast is huge.

He couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.

With such slender arms and legs, how can he still be able to defeat a tiger?
Wang Lin glanced at him and said calmly: "Jiao Yuhou, please tell me carefully about the current situation in the army."

Only then did Jiao Pingshan quickly restrain his mind, bowed down and bowed, and then reported the military situation in detail.

During Jiao Pingshan's report, Wang Lin didn't interject, nor did he raise any objections.

After finishing speaking in Jiaoping Mountain, he got up directly and said, "Jiao Yuhou, come with me to Yishui, let's go directly to the army to have a look."

Jiao Pingshan was a little flustered.

He didn't expect Wang Lin to go directly.

He originally thought that Wang Lin would recuperate in Yizhou for a few days when he first arrived in Yizhou, especially when his family had just settled down.

So at the barracks, he didn't make any preparations for the Shangguan's review.

He didn't know that at this moment, Wang Lin had already secretly sent Yang Zhi and Yan Qing to the Fuhu Army camp in Yishui, together with the four Yue Fei who had escorted his family and rushed to Yishui earlier, the actual Wang Lin Lin's future team members in the army will have to enter the barracks earlier to understand the real situation.

The servants brought Wang Lin's black horse, divine arm bow and gentian bright silver spear, and also brought him professional chain mail and bright silver helmet. Tailor-made armor.

Wang Lin knew very well that the Song Dynasty was quite special.

On the one hand, this is a rather aggrieved dynasty. For most of the time, the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty was a small piece of the Central Plains, with Yanyun in the north and Dadu River in the west. As a dynasty that claims to be unified, it is almost mean.

Also a little embarrassing.

On the other hand, during the Song Dynasty, there were powerful enemies around. There were various regimes such as Jin, Liao, Xixia, Tubo, and Mongolia. Therefore, the Song Dynasty attached great importance to military equipment. After all, they fought every day.

Therefore, the types of armaments are very complete. In terms of armor alone, there are many kinds of armor, such as gold armor, long head armor, short head armor, chain armor, chain mail armor, black lacquered Shun Shui Shanzi iron armor, Mingguang fine net armor and so on.

Wang Lin chose the one that suits him best.

Wang Lin put on his armor and mounted his horse with a gun, and his momentum changed immediately.

The domineering arrogance and invincible majesty that looked down on the world made all the servants of the Wang family applaud, Jiao Pingshan felt awe-inspiring and jumped on his horse.

He was serving Wang Lin to put on the armor just now, and he had tried the weight of the gentian silver spear, and being able to use a long spear of this weight as a weapon was enough to show that Wang Lin's divine power was at least astonishing.

And the divine arm bow surpassed the weight of all the standard longbows in the army.

Jiao Pingshan and Jiao Zhong led the way, while Wang Lin galloped to follow.

It is only [-] miles from Yizhou City to Yishui County, and it takes only an hour for two people to travel by horse.

It's just that Yishui, a small city with low and dilapidated walls, appeared in his eyes, which made Wang Lin feel emotional.

In fact, not to mention the current Northern Song Dynasty, even if the time is closer to the millennium, Yishui is a famous poverty-stricken county in the northern region.

This is probably related to the fact that Yishui is located in a mountainous area and the mountains and fields are barren.

This is true in modern society, let alone in ancient times when the level of productivity was low.

There are only a few thousand residents in the entire county, and less than [-] registered people in the county.

In ancient society, population represented productivity and economic aggregate.

However, if you are poor, you are poor. This also means that Wang Lin's main work in the future can be put on the training of the army, and the job of Yishui county magistrate seems to be dispensable——

In such a poor and small county where no bird shits, the basic function of the county government is nothing more than to maintain law and order in the county and deal with some crap and bad things in the county.

The military camp is built on the mountain, facing the surging Yi River.

Nearby, the situation of the barracks also disappointed Wang Lin.

The scene was disorganized and dirty, with stinking garbage everywhere, and order and military discipline disappeared.

In the camp, soldiers dressed in all kinds of armor, even with their upper body bare, sat on the ground in groups of three and four, drinking and playing money.

The more than ten soldiers standing guard at the gate were even more lazy, forcibly treating the spears in their hands as firesticks, having a great time playing.

Yan Qing was riding on a willow tree with a crooked neck at the gate of the barracks, dangling his legs in boredom, while Yang Zhi had a gloomy face and a gun in his hand tightly stuck to the ground.

The four Yue Fei who came to the barracks immediately after settling their families and preparing to report were even more astonished, and couldn't believe their eyes. This is the regular army of the Song Dynasty?

Will you serve in this army in the future?

Yue Fei's heart was completely chilled.

Wang Lin sighed.

He didn't really hold out much hope.

Because he knew the military system of the Great Song Dynasty, most of the local Xiang troops were miscellaneous troops with low combat effectiveness.

But combat power returns to food, after all, it is the army, how can the military camp be as chaotic and disorderly as the vegetable market?
This at least shows that the commander of the army is dereliction of duty.

Wang Lin looked at Jiao Pingshan with indifference.

Jiao Pingshan was also very embarrassed. The original Qingping Army's military style was like this. It would not change because of changing its name to Fuhu Army. He would have prepared earlier, but today Wang Lin made a surprise attack.

Jiao Pingshan secretly winked at Jiao Zhong.

Jiao Zhong was in a hurry to purge the soldiers, but Wang Lin calmly stopped him and said, "That's all."

Jiao Zhong didn't dare to move.

He has a little understanding of Wang Lin's one-of-a-kind temperament.

"Jiao Yuhou, is it true that our soldiers usually eat military rations and pay, don't do drills, don't care about defense, and just goof around like this day in and day out?"

"Two thousand and five hundred men and horses are as chaotic as a group of bandits and bandits. What is the military discipline? Even two thousand and five hundred pigs should look good, right?"

With such an army... no wonder the Jin army will march straight in in the future and occupy the Central Plains and the North in the shortest possible time.

From top to bottom, from politics to the army, from business to the people, the Great Counselor Dynasty is completely rotten.

Jiao Pingshan was sweating profusely, rubbing his hands together and said: "Master Military Envoy, this subordinate is guilty, this subordinate should go clean up the army horses, light up the army horses, and go out of the camp to line up for your lord's inspection!"

Wang Lin said in her heart, you are not guilty, you are guilty and deserve to die!
Taking the salary to eat and support, and bringing an army into such a sparse state, it is not an exaggeration to kill them.

Wang Lin snorted coldly: "Beat the drums, gather the generals!"

……

Wang Lin's so-called "gathering generals" is to point out the officers.

An army of 500 men consists of five battalions of 500 men each.Each battalion is divided into five capitals.

Therefore, there are currently five battalion-level commanders, five battalion-level deputy commanders, and 25 horse infantry commanders who are going to come out of the establishment.

The red sun hangs high, and the autumn wind brings coolness.

Several soldiers rolled out the army drum cart, Jiao Zhong puffed his cheeks and beat the desolate army drum vigorously, thump, thump, thump!

The soldiers in the camp were alarmed, but they didn't panic. They all slowly left the camp, and slowly gathered in the empty field at the gate of the camp. It looked lively and full of voices.

Wang Lin's mood was getting worse and worse, and he didn't even form a habit of lining up. Is this a military camp or a vegetable market?
Among the 35 mid- and low-ranking officers, none of them moved after hearing the drumbeat!
This is enough to show that the Qingping Army has not conducted formal drills for at least a long time.

I can't even afford to click, so what can I say.

Wang Lin's face sank like water, and he sat on the horse without moving.

Jiao Pingshan was terrified and extremely embarrassed.

He didn't expect these subordinates to be so disappointing. Although it was a sudden attack, the basic qualities of a professional soldier cannot be lost at all.

Time passed little by little.

Wang Lin waited in the sun for half an hour, and less than half of the 35 officers arrived.

The key is to be disheveled.Some are even sleepy.

Seeing that the new military envoy had arrived, these officers were surprised, but they didn't care too much.

Anyway, they are all old soldiers who cut horizontally and vertically, and the hob meat can't be fried. They think that no one can change this situation.

This is not caused by anyone, nor is it caused by a day or two.

When many people joined the Qingping Army, the Qingping Army as a whole looked like this.

They were originally helping to build the Yellow River defense dam in Jeju, but they were suddenly transferred to Yizhou.

So when I came to Yizhou, I let go of the sheep.

Of course, this has an important relationship with the indulgence of officers at all levels.

Jiao Pingshan bowed in embarrassment: "My lord, this subordinate will send someone to find those people to plead guilty to your lord..."

Wang Lin smiled lightly: "There's no need to look for it. Since you can't find it and openly violated military discipline, what should you do according to the law, Marquis Jiao Yu?"

Jiao Pingshan hesitated and said: "Yiludang..."

Wang Lin suddenly yelled: "Say, what about Yilu?"

Jiao Pingshan was sweating profusely, his mouth was trembling, Wang Lin suddenly turned his head to look at Yue Fei who was standing behind his horse, and shouted: "Yue Fei, come forward!"

Yue Fei stepped forward with emotion, bowed his head and said solemnly: "Teacher, according to the military law of the Song Dynasty, the name should not be called, the time is not met, the time is not met, and the teacher's law is changed. This is called slow army, and the offender will be executed."

Jiao Pingshan and Jiao Zhong were suddenly shocked.

Of course, they were familiar with the military law of the seventeenth ban and 54 cuts handed down from ancient times, but they didn't expect that a young man beside Wang Lin was also familiar with military law.

Wang Lin took a deep breath. In fact, he had made up his mind at that moment just now. In troubled times, heavy codes should be used. Otherwise, it would be difficult to completely eradicate the lax morale of this army!
Wang Lin looked around at the group of officers with disheveled uniforms and a sloppy military appearance. He felt angry, and he waved his hands decisively: "Marquis Jiao Yu, quickly bring the 17 people who are not overdue to me!"

3 battalion-level commanders, 4 deputy commanders, and 10 capital commanders.

These people were so drunk last night that they couldn't get up after three poles in the sun. Although the army drum suddenly sounded, no one took it seriously and slept soundly as usual.

As a result, he was dragged here by soldiers.

Wang Lin sneered: "Cut it!"

The soldiers under Jiao Zhong's command hesitated.

Wang Lin was furious, and in an instant he picked up the spear in his hand, piercing the soldier's throat, and died unexpectedly.

Wang Lin glared at Jiao Zhong immediately and said, "My officer's military order, those who disobey and refuse to obey will be killed without mercy!"

Jiao Zhong was so frightened that he lost his wits, and immediately shouted: "My lord's military life is like a mountain, come here, and kill these disobedient military discipline immediately!"
