The team led by Li Guolou will stay at the Jianrui Camp in Xishan for a few days and get in touch with more than 1,000 senior men and servants. This will allow them to serve as candidate soldiers and go to the battlefield in times of crisis. The senior men and servants The difference between husbands and wives is that if the eldest husband behaves well, he will be given the opportunity to receive military pay. There are many refugees here. As long as they have no tattoos and are physically strong, the examiner Fan Dahui will take them in. A total of more than 600 eldest husbands were taken in. This war husband is Most of the people in the Gyeonggi area who were originally required to serve as laborers had special skills, such as horse herders, cattle herders, cart drivers, and men at repair shops. There were also more than 600 laborers. Fan Dahui treated them equally and gave them equal treatment, and did not give way to laborers. If you work for nothing, you will be given a daily labor fee of 50 cents.
This kind act earned Mr. Fan the praise of the slave laborers. Serving as a slave laborer can also make money for the family. This trip to Lanzhou was worth it. Some of the slave laborers also had the urge to become soldiers. In addition to training at Camp Jianrui, Thousands of people were looking forward to seeing the escort Li Guolou.
The drummer on the drum truck at the main entrance of the military camp was beating the big drum. Every time he knocked, it shocked people's hearts. The drummer behind him responded in unison, and there were also other musicians such as 筚, 瓓, and 篞 who responded. The scene was magnificent, with thousands of athletes on the big playground. The Ruiying soldiers lined up in square formations to greet Li Guolou and his party. Li Guolou suddenly changed his expression. He was not an imperial envoy. Why did Zhang Xuefei receive him so grandly?
Li Guolou pointed forward and asked: "What are you doing, Lord Supervisor? You are going to kill my little brother."
"Hey, I am also a person with a good face. How can I let you be so beautiful and let your recruits see the training soldiers of our Xishan Jianrui Camp? They are no worse than your recruits. No matter what, Mr. Li has to bring a Let me bring glory to my brother." Commander-in-Chief Zhang Xuefei spoke sincerely, grabbed Li Guolou's hand, and asked him to inspect the training soldiers of Xishan Jianrui Camp first.
Nurturing soldiers are also called raising surplus soldiers. They are not surplus soldiers. They are the reserve force of the soldiers of the Eight Banners. They should be reserve soldiers. They have a certain monthly salary but no housing. Nurturing soldiers also have a certain age limit of 10 to 17 years old. Within. Eight Banners soldiers have been serving as soldiers in the military camp for generations. When the children reach ten years old, they will be of age to become soldiers, and they can earn their share of the salary. But this has to go through Hard work and certain external conditions. When our banner takes the examination to raise soldiers, because there are few admission places and many children are tested, in addition to the child's own conditions, the population, income, and family size of the child's family must also be considered. There are already several soldiers. Generally speaking, families with the most difficult children will receive sympathy and employment from their clan leaders. There is a certain age group for raising soldiers, that is, 10 to 17 years old. If the child has exceeded At the age of seventeen, if you still haven't become a foster soldier, you have no choice but to skip the rank of foster soldier and directly take the exam to become a forward.
The commander-in-chief Zhang Xuefei was so sincere to Li Guolou because he wanted Li Guolou to cultivate his men and recruit a group of trained soldiers to enter the new martial arts hall to train them into a new generation of soldiers. He also knew the stubborn diseases of the Eight Banners soldiers. Newcomers are always easy to commit suicide. , it is also the wish of the soldiers of the Eight Banners to keep up with the needs of the new era as soon as possible. First learn the military system of the Chu army, and then envy the brave and pioneering spirit of the Xinwu Tang.
Is the New Wutang good? After visiting and studying, everyone suddenly realized that modern warfare is a war that emphasizes cultural knowledge. It not only requires the coordination of various arms, but also requires a large number of officers with command and combat capabilities. Everyone knows whether Zhang Xuefei can Are you anxious? The Chu Army, the Huai Army, and the Hunan Army have all become powerful soldiers. The strength of the Han soldiers is the biggest threat to the Eight Banners soldiers, and also seriously threatens the treatment and future of the Eight Banners soldiers. The military restructuring has changed all the organizational structures, and then changed them again. How can the Eight Banners soldiers have room for the survival of foster soldiers? Therefore, foster soldiers must strive for success. A large number of officers can come out of the foster soldiers before they can have a say in the army. He has also learned the Darwinian theory of evolution of survival of the fittest, and it makes sense. Long live the doctrine of learning and using it!
Li Guolou had a look of embarrassment on his face. He was short-tempered when eating others and short-handed when taking advantage of others. He led more than 2,000 people to live in Xishan Jianrui Camp. Although he was paid, he had to give the owner face. He had no choice but to say
: "Government
Lord Protector, my group of people are marching and training on a voluntary basis. They have to endure the hardships and the cold. The sand and rocks are flying all the way to Lanzhou. It is very hard and not something ordinary people can endure. Look..."
"My sons, are you afraid of hardship?" Zhang Xuefei roared loudly at the hundreds of soldiers armed with spears and swords in front of him. Grandma's bear! How miserable can it be? The officers here don't even have a pair of suede leather boots.
, that heavy cotton coat was the winter coat that the Eight Banners soldiers coveted, not to mention the new Mauser rifle. Most of his soldiers were using flintlock rifles.
"Don't be afraid of hardship! Don't be afraid of tiredness! Don't be afraid of death!" The same pronunciation of "childish" has not been changed, and hundreds of foster soldiers burst into loud roars.
"Okay, okay! Very good!" Li Guolou nodded frequently to the group of young children in front of him, the hope of the country's future. He stopped in front of each square for a long time, inspected each square, and then returned to the imperial envoy.
In the glorious years, it seems that he has not been demoted, and the officers are more respectful to him.
Amid the passionate marching and drum music, people and horses walked closely together, entering the Xishan Jianrui Camp and heading towards each camp. Xishan is a branch of the Taihang Mountains. It was called "the head of the Taihang Mountains" in ancient times, also known as Xiaoqingliang Mountain. It looks like a soaring dragon.
It rises from the python and guards the capital from the west. Therefore, the ancients called it the "right arm of the divine capital".
Xishan Jianrui Camp is built on the mountain and occupies the entire south side of Xishan Mountain. It is a military town with towers connected to towers. I recall that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the capital, they did not attack Xishan Jianrui Camp.
time.
Because the Jianrui camp is divided into left and right wings, each wing has a leader, who is in charge of the four east and west banners. He has a third-level official position. He lives in a large courtyard in front of the Eight Banners printing house. There are about 16 rooms and a horse number. He usually wears blue clothes.
The war robe and hat on the head have a blue top, a red top or a red flower top, mainly based on the victory in the usual battles. The commander-in-chief Zhang Xuefei does not usually live in the barracks, but
Living in the capital, all matters in the barracks are in charge of two wing commanders. This is also a rule of the Qing Dynasty. The generals are not given too much power, only honor and status. During wartime, the imperial court issues the official seal for troop deployment.
, the official seal was taken back after the war. For example, Dorobel Zaicheng also had the title of commander-in-chief, and rarely went to the military camp. Official title and power are two different things.
The watchtowers in the barracks are dedicated to training officers and soldiers in climbing ladders and attacking the city. Jianrui camp is divided into left and right wings. The left wing has four flags: yellow, straight white, white and blue, and the right wing has yellow and red flags.
, inlaid with blue, inlaid with red
Four Banners. There are fourteen four-story watchtowers and eighteen three-story watchtowers on the left wing. There are two five-story watchtowers, ten four-story watchtowers, and twenty-four three-story watchtowers on the right wing for training officers and soldiers to climb ladders and climb the city.
Use head skills.
Li Guolou and others came to the south gate at the foot of the mountain and paid homage to the city gate. Above the tall city tower, Qianlong's imperial pen inscribed the four words "Weixuan Barrier".
Inside the city, there is first the barbican, and then a large martial arts field, with a row of Jianrui battalion sergeants holding ladders, waiting for the commander's review. The martial arts field is built on the mountain, and the stretching west mountain is its natural barrier, with three sides on the north, southeast and south.
It is an open flat land. This kind of view naturally makes Tuancheng feel very high psychologically.
This oval-shaped city is only 50 meters in diameter from east to west, 40 meters from north to south, and 11 meters high. It is indeed small and deserves its name.
The sergeants of the Jianrui Battalion performed the skills of siege and fortification. More than a dozen sergeants mounted ladders, holding broadswords, spears, shields, and military flags. Amid the shouts of killing, they climbed the ladder at a very fast speed, and soon they were covered with snow-capped lion flags.
Watchtowers were built one after another, and the sergeants stood on the watchtowers waving swords, guns, and military flags to greet the officers.
Li Guolou and a group of officers watched the performance and nodded in approval. Only the skilled and brave sergeants can climb the watchtower. Although it is a performance, the actual combat level of the sergeants can also be seen. Li Guolou gave two responsible officers
In recognition of the daily practice, the wing commander took off his belt, including the belt and two American-made pistols.
Colt revolver was given to them together. He had no choice. Now that he was in a high position, these soldiers still relied on him and would not make unreasonable demands on him. Soldiers would risk their lives if they saw a good gun.
He grabbed him and asked him for a gun. That's human nature, and that's it.
The faces of the two wing commanders were bright, and they were working harder on the command exercises. The flags in their hands were fluttering. They wanted to achieve greater gains. "Gun" was something that could be put on the table. Among a group of officers, all
While lamenting the suffering of the sergeants in the Jianrui Battalion who did not have a good gun, the name of the Mauser was mentioned again and again by the officers.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, a group of officers climbed up the horse-riding steps and boarded Tuancheng. This is the place where Jianrui Yunti Battalion performs martial arts, with a unique layout and magnificent architecture. On the splendid south military parade building of Tuancheng,
Meet the sergeant who just climbed up the tower.
Li Guolou looked at the expectant eyes of everyone around him and was once again forced into a corner. He said helplessly: "Master Supervisor, please leave a hundred guns."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." Except for Zhang Xuefei, the commander-in-chief, who raised his hands to express his thanks, the other officers of the Jianrui Battalion knelt down on one leg and performed a military salute to express their gratitude to Li Guolou.
Zhang Xuefei was quite happy, and kept pumping his palms in excitement. Li Guolou gave him face like this, and he was a friend. The military attache had to live his life based on the face of the civilian officials. Logistics and supplies were controlled by the civilian officials. If Li Guolou, an upright official, entered the military plane
How happy it would be to be his direct superior. I hope that if Li Guolou becomes more powerful, then his good days will come.
"Well, I'll go and pay homage to the King of Horqin County later." Li Guolou stood on top of the watchtower and looked at the Shisheng Temple in the distance. There is the temple of the King of Horqin County, Gelin Qin. When I come here, I always remember the Qing Dynasty.
national hero.
Overlooking the Xicheng gate tower where the drill is directed, the martial arts field, the horse racing field and the stele pavilion of Shisheng Temple, you can see the rows of flags and flags in the martial arts field, the sound of horse hooves, the soldiers bending their bows and ready to go, and their roars shaking the ground. Ruijianying Martial Arts Hall
It is a city, a palace, a pavilion, a watchtower, and a teaching ground all mixed into one.
The monolithic military building complex can be described as a treasure of architectural art. Li Guolou raised his telescope and looked into the distance. The vast forest, mist and mist, the beautiful scenery, and the bleak winter afterglow reflected the scenery. Li Guolou was fascinated by the scenery of the Western Mountains, and his sense of travel was strong.
, the joy never comes back, and the poetry flourishes.
Riding on the excitement, I splashed ink on Shisheng Temple, and it was done with one swipe, showing the unparalleled style of Xinke Exploring Flowers.
The poem "Dwelling in the Western Mountains in Winter" says: The soul wanders around the Western Mountains, and there is a forest in the sea of clouds. Withered roots are dripping with ice, and the snow-capped mountains support the red clouds. At noon, the sound of the army vibrates, and the shade of the courtyard is vast. If you wish, watchtowers accompany the prosperity of the country.
"Master Li's poems are becoming more and more interesting. The artistic conception is lofty, the ambition is noble, and there is a majestic and upward spirit. The lower officials admire it." Fan Dahui, an aide, read aloud and was greatly impressed. This was an impromptu performance.
, if you have new ideas, you also need to have solid skills. Anyone who dares to slander Tanhua Lang should come up with a song called "Winter Habitat in the Western Mountains". No one here can surpass Li Guolou.
Most of the officers were rough and rude, and they didn't understand the quality of poetry. They followed behind and started making noises. They shouted a few times, "What a poem, what a poem! What a poem!"
But the counselors and staff were all learned scholars. They were stationed in the Western Mountains every day, but they did not write such a poem. They were full of emotions and kept chattering about meeting Wen Quxing, "I only learned today that there are mountains outside the mountains.
There are people outside the world, even if Wenquxing comes down to earth, it’s nothing more than that.”
"Master Li is amazing. He speaks from the bottom of his heart and expresses the sentiments of our people who have been stationed here for generations! Alas, alas, alas!" One of the staff members was so moved by the scene that he wiped his eyes with his sleeve and really started crying.
Wang Qing, the battalion officer, felt irritated after hearing this. His talkative temper could not be changed. After holding it in for such a long time, he suddenly exploded. Thinking that he had hit the point, he raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Counsellor Yang, you
That's not right, Tan Hwa Lang was originally a literary star who descended into the world. "Winter in the West Mountain" is a poem that can touch Master Wan's soul, just like Liu Yong's poems. Women all over the world cry for losing a close friend. This is how I want to describe it."
Master Wan suddenly stopped crying and looked at Li Guolou pitifully. Others also looked embarrassed, afraid of touching Li Guolou's tiger beard. Li Guolou was not angry and patted the battalion officer Wang Qing on the shoulder and smiled.
He smiled and said: "Wang Yingguan, you are also wrong. I don't have so many confidantes. There are actually a few in the brothel. I will introduce them to you immediately."
"Hahahaha!" Loud laughter broke out in Shisheng Temple, startling a group of crows perched on the ancient trees. The group of crows made a croaking noise, as if they were denouncing the humans who disturbed their purity. The overwhelming black crows were hovering in the sky.
Above the empty temple, are those the soldiers brought by the national hero Zeng Gelinqin from the underworld?
