As soon as these words came out, including Wu Zhong and his daughter, and even the security police standing outside the door looked at Wang Yuanfang in surprise.
Wu Rong blinked and asked curiously: "What is a training base?"
Wang Yuanfang said: "It's the place where troops are trained."
"You trained all the Beihai soldiers? Are you still the 'Supreme Commander'? What rank is that?" Wu Rong frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said "oh" and said to Wang Yuanfang: "Then you are not with the eighty-year-old
The same as the instructor of the Ten Thousand Forbidden Army? Lin Chong, the leopard-headed man? He looks quite strong. You are also good at fists and feet, right?"
"Miss Wu, there are not that many..." Wang Yuanfang waved his hands quickly, thinking that he had only handled more than 10,000 people in total. Wu Siyu, Ding Guofeng, and Liu Sheng had all brought recruits before. Now the Beihai Navy is training
The base has a special training team, and he has personally trained no more than a thousand soldiers in total.
But before he finished speaking, his guard and messenger came over and stood behind him, saying with a proud face: "Eight hundred thousand forbidden troops are nothing, all the soldiers are trained by our leader."
"Stand at the door!" Wang Yuanfang turned around and gave the guard a slap in the face, scolding: "Who let you in!"
"Yes." The guard saluted, turned around and walked out dejectedly.
Wu Zhong and his daughter were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the other party was such a high-ranking official. All the soldiers were trained by him, so he had to be almost the same as a general soldier, right? That was a second-grade officer!
Although Wu Zhong had tried his hand at Duoluoxun County Wang Yunqi and taught boxing to the imperial guards, Wu Zhong was young and energetic at that time and was quickly ostracized. He had no choice but to return to Tianjin to teach martial arts at Xianshuigu.
.
However, Wu Zhong felt that Wang Yuanfang was quite polite in his words and did not put on any official airs at all. He was completely different from those officials in the south. In the imperial court, not to mention the general soldier, he was just a general in charge of a hundred or ten people.
When the official power is displayed, all the people will be afraid of it.
Wu Rong rolled her eyes and asked Wang Yuanfang: "Brother Chen was also a soldier trained by you?"
Wang Yuanfang nodded and said: "He has a good foundation. He has practiced martial arts and learns quickly."
"Even the Chen family wants to learn from you, so aren't you a master?" Wu Rong said, pulling off her apron and throwing it on the wooden pier next to her. Just as she was about to say more, she felt a pain in her head and turned around to look
, and saw Wu Zhong staring at him.
"There are no rules! When guests come, they don't even ask for a glass of water. Just boil the water!"
Wu Rong pursed her lips, and the eager spark in her expression extinguished, so she had no choice but to bend down, pick up the apron, and return to the house.
"Master Wang, please take a seat in the room." Wu Zhong cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation.
People in the martial arts world value "You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot." Even if the other party is a rebel, after all, he is still at the level of a general officer, and Wu Zhong, who is dependent on others, cannot put on airs anymore.
This standard small courtyard used by the Public Security Police Department to house prisoners has only one wooden main room, a firewood shed, and a toilet. The main room is divided into two rooms on the left and right, and there is a cast iron stove in both rooms. In addition to heating, it also
It can be used for cooking. Currently Wu Zhong lives in the west room and his daughter lives in the east room.
Wang Yuanfang followed Wu Zhong into the west room and sat down at the table. After a while, Wu Rong brought two cups of tea over, then glanced at his father and saw that Wu Zhong didn't look at him at all, then turned and returned to the east room.
"Master Wang, you are so condescending to come here. The old father and daughter really can't bear the responsibility. Please let us go!" Wu Zhong stood up and finished speaking, before getting up and kneeling down.
An old man in his sixties knelt down towards him. Wang Yuanfang thought that he could not cross this threshold, so he quickly bent down to help him. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhong's whole body seemed to have turned into a stone statue, extremely heavy.
Wang Yuanfang was shocked and tried hard with his arms, but he couldn't lift an inch at all. The opponent's figure still slowly fell, and then he knelt on the ground. Wang Yuanfang, who was holding Wu Zhong's arms, was also bent down.
waist.
"I'll go! This old man is so powerful!" Wang Yuanfang thought of Zhao Xin's reminder yesterday and regretted not wearing a stab-proof suit.
In fact, by kneeling down, Wu Zhong had already tested Wang Yuanfang's depth. He felt that this "chief military officer" also had some abilities, but he was far behind Chen Jishan.
However, Wu Zhong also understood that the so-called "general in the army" relied not only on martial arts, but also on strategy. If even the commander-in-chief went into battle to fight in person, what use would the soldiers below him have?
Wang Yuanfang said with a sincere face: "Master Wu, if you can help guide my men, I can also talk to Mr. Zhao, oh, I am talking to King Zhao, and ask for a favor for you. But if you don't want to
Go, I really can't do anything about this."
Wu Zhong looked at Wang Yuanfang and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, then he slowly stood up, sat back on the stool and sighed.
At this time, the door of the room rang behind him, and Wu Rong, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help but come in and said: "Instructor Wang, is this what you said? My father is going to give you some advice, and then let us father and daughter go back to Qingyun?"
Wang Yuanfang wondered why I became the "teacher"? He nodded and thought for a while before saying: "Master Wu, Miss Wu, I never speak falsely. I will definitely do what I can do. If I can't do it, I will do it."
I won’t agree to it! I can still talk to Mr. Zhao, no, King Zhao.”
Wu Zhong lowered his head and pondered for a long time, knowing that he could not escape this hurdle no matter what. He looked up at his daughter, and thought that the son-in-law who came to the door had not been found yet, and the Wu family did not even have a queen. If he did not agree, what if he got into trouble one day?
When "King Zhao" gets angry, he doesn't know what will happen.
So he nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Please agree to a few conditions, otherwise Wu will not go at all."
Wang Yuanfang was overjoyed and said quickly: "Master Wu, please tell me."
"First, I will only teach you for three months. How much you can learn depends on the ability of your men; second, although there are no weapons or weapons on the battlefield, they must swear that from now on they will not indiscriminately hurt innocent people or harm the people;
Thirdly, even if you learn the Wu family's Bajiquan, you can never say that you are related to the Qingyun Wu family outside; fourthly, I cannot use my real name."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Wang Yuanfang heard this, he knew that the other party was still afraid of bringing trouble to the Wu family in Qingyun. So after thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement. Then he said: "Master Wu
, then please wait a moment, I will ask someone to arrange the residence of your father and daughter in Beihai Town in advance, and then we will sign a contract later and write down all the conditions you mentioned. In addition, in terms of treatment,
, room and board are free, and your monthly teaching salary is one hundred silver dollars, oh, no, two hundred dollars, what do you think?"
Wu Zhong was stunned after hearing this. At this moment, Wu Rong, who was standing at the door, said, "Two hundred silver dollars? Then if I go, will I also get a salary?"
"Master Wu, if Miss Wu can come, I can add another 150 yuan per month, do you think it's okay?" After saying that, Wang Yuanfang said a little embarrassedly: "My authority is only so much, if Master Wu thinks
If it’s not enough, I can also apply to Mr. Zhao.”
Not enough? During these days in Beihai Town, Wu Zhong and his daughter also learned about the fineness of Beihai silver coins; five silver coins equaled one tael of silver from the southern court. Two hundred Beihai silver coins were forty taels of snowflake silver, worth four thousand Wenzumo.
Wu Zhong's hometown can buy an acre of water to irrigate the land.
If Wu Rong was counted as one, the father and daughter's monthly salary would equal two acres of irrigated land!
The so-called "watered field" is also called "watered garden" among the people. "Garden" means fields with water wells in them, which are considered to be the best fields.
During the Qianlong period, fields in the north were cheaper than those in the south. One acre of irrigated land in Zhili, Shandong cost almost thirty taels. If the location was good, with boundary trees and a house, it would cost more;
The price of dry land with water wells is only a dozen taels per mu.
If you are in the south of the Yangtze River, the dry fields in high towns are less than ten taels per mu, the easily irrigated fields in low towns are ten taels per mu, and the pond land is as high as thirty or forty taels.
After listening to Wang Yuanfang's words, Wu Zhong and his daughter looked at each other, showing surprise that they could not hide. Isn't that enough? Wu Zhong worked as a martial arts teacher in the palace of Duoluoxun County, and he only received three taels of silver and rice every month.
Five liters.
The salary offered by "General Soldier Wang" and "Coach Wang" was so high that even the well-informed Wu Zhong was shocked. And based on what the other party meant, it could be increased even more.
However, I heard him talk about a "contract" just now. What is that? Do you still need to draw a pledge to sign a contract?
Two days later, Wu Zhong, who went by the pseudonym "Old Man Meng", was personally led by Wang Yuanfang to the Northern Navy training base on the east bank of the Xila River. Wu Rong originally wanted to come, but Wu Zhong didn't agree, so he could only do it alone.
Housekeeping.
Just kidding, there is no place in the military camp where women can enter!
However, when Wu Zhong just entered the gate of the training base, he saw two female soldiers wearing green military uniforms walking past.
"I......!"
Seeing Wu Zhong's dumbfounded look, Wang Yuanfang quickly explained: "Master Wu, don't be offended, they are communications corps."
"Signal soldier? Delivering letters?" The old man stamped his foot and said: "How can you let a female doll do the work of a postman?!"
"Ah? No, Master Wu, the signal corps are not the messengers of the Qing Dynasty. They are responsible for the telecommunications department."
"What is the telecommunications department?"
Wang Yuanfang suddenly felt that it was difficult for him to explain what telegraph communication was to an old man who came from the countryside in the Qing Dynasty, so he took Wu Zhong directly to the telecommunications room of the training base. The old man stood outside the door and saw three Dais sitting in the room.
The female soldier wearing headphones looked at the shiny black iron boxes again, and finally asked: "What is this for?"
"You can communicate with people hundreds of thousands of miles away without sending letters or flying pigeons to send messages."
"What?! Thousands of miles!!" Wu Zhong stared, leaned forward and looked into the room twice in disbelief, and said to Wang Yuanfang: "Just based on these boxes? That's not a god!"
"This has nothing to do with gods. This is, this is called. In short, this is a scientific issue and has nothing to do with gods and monsters." Wang Yuanfang didn't know whether the other party could understand what he said, but he really didn't know how to explain it.
Tell the great master of Bajiquan what radio waves are? Isn’t this nonsense!
The three female soldiers in the telecommunications room looked nervously at their immediate superiors and the old man wearing a white hat at the door, and did not dare to ask. It was not until Wu Zhong and Wang Yuanfang turned around and left that they heaved a sigh of relief.
A pretty female soldier stroked her chest and said, "The old man's glare just now scared me to death."
Another said: "No, didn't you see? He still has a pigtail on the back of his head! I have been coming to the base for more than a year, and I have never seen anyone with pigtails come in! Moreover, the chief personally accompanied him
With."
The third female soldier said: "Who is this old man? Why did the chief bring him here to us?"
The delicate female soldier said: "I will ask someone for lunch, and I will keep it under investigation until the truth comes to light."
On the other side, Wang Yuanfang led Wu Zhong through a barracks area and finally came to a playground. At this time, Beihai soldiers who were training could be seen everywhere on the playground, running in circles, doing push-ups, and practicing vaulting.
Obstacles, for practicing rope climbing.
The officer who was leading two companies of Sauron soldiers for training saw Wang Yuanfang coming, ran over, saluted, and said loudly: "Comrade chief! The first and second companies of the ninth regiment of army recruits are undergoing physical training.
, please give instructions! Zhang Dingfa, captain of the teaching team."
"Take a break. Captain Zhang, have the two companies line up. I have something to announce."
Wu Zhong listened curiously to the questions and answers at the Beihai Navy barracks. He looked at the soldiers on the playground and saw them all lively. After the officer left, he asked Wang Yuanfang in a low voice: "How many times a month do you know how to do exercises today?"
?”
"Master Wu and Master Meng, they have to practice every day, not just a few times a month, but 365 days a year."
"What? Practicing every day? Not allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year?!" Wu Zhong couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
As soon as the whistle blew, the recruits who were undergoing various physical training immediately began to line up. In a blink of an eye, they were already forming horizontal rows and vertical rows. Although everyone was sweating profusely, they all stood upright and held their heads high.
, Wu Zhong was secretly surprised and smacked his lips, he never expected that the Beihai soldiers could order and prohibit them to such an extent.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When he came to Beijing to teach his art, he also met many Eight Banners officers and knew something about the military camp. Although Wu Zhong is just a country boxer now,
But I have traveled all over the country for many years and read ancient and modern history books, and I have never heard of any army like this.
Speaking of which, the Manchu and Qing military training in the south was actually very frequent in ancient times, mainly because of the strong national power. In ancient times, the intensity and frequency of military training were actually related to the food and treatment of the soldiers and whether the court was rich. Not to mention.
In addition, just the gunpowder, iron, bows and arrows, horses, etc. consumed in each exercise are a huge amount of money.
The daily training of the Eight Banners troops of the Qing Army was arranged by each unit. The forward battalions on the two wings, the pro-military battalions of the Upper Three Banners, the Eight Banners guard battalions, the officers and soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion, and the internal and external firearms battalions all practiced mounted archery, while the infantry battalions specialized in infantry archery.
The Jianrui Battalion mainly trains on climbing the city with ladders, and also practices shotgun, water warfare, horseback shooting, and whipknife. The inner firearms camp mainly trains shotguns and cannons. The outer firearms camp trains shotguns and water warfare. Half of the people in the forward battalion have to
Practice shotgun, and in the Xiaoqi camp, the Han army Xiaoqi camp has a shotgun camp, an artillery camp and a cannon-protecting rattan camp.
In addition, there are "fencao" and "dacao". But what is interesting is that historically, the formations used by the Eight Banners in "fencao" and "dacao" have not changed for two hundred years, until
It was abolished only when the new army was being organized in the late Qing Dynasty.
As for the biggest feature of Green Camp, the old training system was inherited from the Ming Dynasty and has been passed down for more than 400 years. Its training method places great emphasis on formations. The formations must be converted according to the enemy's situation and terrain. The names are also various. The use of these formations is
Green camp's annual general exercise is scheduled for the day of frost. Governors, governors, governors, Ti, and town officials must personally inspect the martial arts performances. In addition, there are secondary monthly exercises.
These formations were once criticized by Qi Jiguang as looking at martial arts, but they have to maneuver around, and they are full of flowers and plants; they look at camp formations, but they have to maneuver with splendor, and they are regarded as drama routines.
It is said that in the first two years when Marshal Fu went to Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu and other places to conduct training at the green camp, he scolded him. The general idea was that he could still read it during normal school inspections, but it would be useless if he really wanted to go to war!
