Chapter 32 Training the Young and Strong
Author: Use your soul to aim
After learning the lessons from recruiting students, Zhang Zongxian asked Liang Chen and Bo Ren to redesign the training plan for young adults.
Let the young and strong come separately for training. Each training lasts for fifteen days and three thousand people are trained each time. Corresponding logistical support must also be done well.
The first batch of young men arrived at Changsheng Fort five days after the announcement.
According to the plan, the first step was to form a team. The young men were organized into a team of twelve people for every twelve people in the village. The instructors selected by the new army served as team leaders. In the next fifteen days, the team leaders will lead them to the end of the training.
After the formation was completed, all the young adults were brought to the training ground to watch the new army's drill.
Following Zhang Zongxian's order, the new army, led by good ministers and wearing brand-new military uniforms, lined up in three columns, walked out of the fort gate with neat steps and shouted the slogans one, two, three, four.
After arriving at the training ground, Liangchen first ordered "Stand still." Then he gave the order "Turn right." The drill team of 300 people turned to the right neatly.
Then the good minister waved his sword and ordered "advance". The soldiers walked forward according to the beat of the waist drum. The officers in the queue constantly adjusted the pace of the soldiers to keep them in a straight line.
When they were a hundred steps away from the target, the good minister who was walking at the end of the team ordered the soldiers to "stand still" to stop and script in order, while the officers took the time to adjust their formation.
The good minister raised his sword and shouted the order, "Get into battle formation."
The soldiers in the first row quickly squatted down and raised the firecrackers, the second row also raised the firecrackers, and the third row raised the firecrackers in the air attack between the soldiers in the second row. After the battle formation was set, Liangchen
Give the order "shoot".
Hearing a banging sound, the young man who was watching was startled. The straw man a hundred steps away fell to one-fifth, and the good minister then ordered "load" and "shoot". After shooting three rounds within ten breaths,
, the smoke from burning gunpowder has obscured the formation. And only half of the straw men in the distance are left.
Then I heard the good minister's order "Fix the bayonet" coming from the smoke. The soldiers took out the sleeve bayonet and inserted it on the muzzle of the gun. Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded. All the soldiers shouted "Kill!" and rushed towards the remaining soldiers from the smoke.
A group of three people stabbed their bayonets into the straw men.
Then a sharp whistle sounded again, and the soldiers quickly drew their bayonets and ran to the front of the good ministers to form three rows.
Zhang Zongxian was very satisfied with this drill, even though it was the simplest line tactic. Like those hollow square formations, the infantry and artillery coordination was still not practiced in training. This also made the young men so intimidated that they were not angry and dared not
out.
Then the artillerymen practiced the salvo firing of the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Ten Crouching Tiger Cannons fired two thousand rounds of lead, smashing the grass targets into pieces. Seeing such power, many young men were so frightened that they sat down.
On the ground.
Then Boren led the cavalry to practice wall charges and saber chops.
After the drill, the good minister read out the military regulations to all the young men.
After the military regulations were read out, the captain led the team to get the equipment. Each young man was given a wooden bowl, a pair of chopsticks, a scarf, and a uniform. All equipment must not be damaged, and damage must be compensated. It must be returned after the training.
.
With the improvement of the procurement mechanism, it is not so difficult to get these things together. Many businessmen have understood the bidding mechanism and know that the county magistrate can easily give money. As long as the demand is announced, there will be businessmen providing it immediately.
After receiving the equipment, we started to eat. The report started in the morning. We were notified of the training because of the meal manager, so many people came without eating. It was noon after receiving the equipment. Lunch was steamed buns and haggis soup.
The steamed buns and mutton soup were prepared by hundreds of women in advance.
Although it is mutton soup, there are more radishes than meat. Many young and middle-aged people have never eaten meat. When they saw that mutton was available, they all rushed forward and the formation was chaotic.
The captains would whip them with leather whips. Those who dared to rob were directly dragged out of the queue and beaten by the soldiers. After a while, they were sorted out and then lined up.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Zongxian quickly asked Liangchen to arrange for someone to add more water to the haggis soup. Seeing how anxious they were, such a hot soup would not burn their esophagus for a while.
Before eating, the captain first said to these young men, "The county magistrate is considerate of the people and spends his own money to buy meat for everyone to eat. You still don't thank the county magistrate." Then he pointed to Zhang Zongxian who was standing on the wall of the fort. The young men turned to him one after another.
Thank you to Zhang Zongxian.
After thanking everyone, they started handing out steamed buns and serving soup. Qingzhuang couldn’t wait to put them in his mouth after getting the steamed buns. Many people shed tears while eating. The white flour steamed buns were so delicious and sweet. After getting the haggis soup, he went
I poured it into my mouth. Even though I added water, it was still very hot.
More people began to cry. The young and strong people cried while eating. They didn't know whether they were burned or because they were happy eating meat for the first time.
The New Army soldiers who were serving meals next to them all laughed at these young men who had never seen the world. They ate a meal as if it were their last meal. After laughing for a while, they couldn’t stop laughing. They thought that they were also soldiers and had the first place.
A full meal is the first meal of meat. Only after becoming a soldier did I realize how delicious mutton, beef, and pork are.
In order to replenish the strength of the young men, Zhang Zongxian did not restrict them from eating as much as they wanted. Soon some young men were lying on the ground with their stomachs full and groaning. Then he quickly restricted the young men and asked the captain to supervise that one person could only eat at most.
Five steamed buns and two bowls of soup. Those who had finished eating were not allowed to sit down, and all were taken for a walk by the captain.
Zhang Zongxian asked the good ministers to write down all the problems that occurred today to avoid these problems from happening again when training the next wave of young adults.
Today is the day of reporting, and there is not much training planned. First, let them get familiar with the team leader and the place where they will eat, sleep and sleep for the next fifteen days. They will also be familiar with the military regulations. When something happens, they must call a report. They cannot urinate in the open and go to the latrine.
Dinner consisted of cabbage cooked in mutton bone soup and steamed buns for free. After dinner, Zhang Zongxian arranged for three storytellers to tell the young adults stories about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Yue Fei, and Taizu's Rebellion for an hour and a half.
Before dawn the next day, all the young men were shouted out by the captain. Then they started running around Changsheng Fort led by the captain. After the run, they had breakfast, which was porridge, pickles and steamed buns. After breakfast
After a short break, we started to practice formation formation in groups led by the captain. The officers walked around the field to check and correct the mistakes in the training.
Lunch was beef offal soup and steamed buns. I had to thank Zhang Zongxian first before starting to eat. There was a lot of crying during the meal. Such crying touched Zhang Zongxian's soul. A man cried like this for a few bites of meat. It also triggered
Those direct disciples vaguely understood what the teachers said: Let everyone have books to read, everyone to eat, and everyone to have clothes to wear.
