Xu Zhuer nodded, then strode forward and shouted: "The break is over! Everyone, stand up and line up!"
The lunch time shouldn’t be so short. Many people didn’t even finish eating the hammer handle in their hands, let alone carefully place it in front of them, preparing to save it until the end and drink the delicious mung bean soup. But I heard the leaders of each team saying:
The team members shouted one after another, and hundreds of people jumped to their feet, splitting into several square formations in the shortest time.
Wang Erbai nodded with satisfaction: "This spirit is really good. The oil-skinned guys we have on the boat may not be so obedient."
"Those are all experts who have experienced the storm for a long time. The ones in front of me are just newcomers who have just learned the rules. How can they compare? Besides, I never thought that there would be so many people from the Song Dynasty coming to throw. If they don't practice well, it's really not possible.
I can’t let go.”
Earlier, the imperial court issued an order to open multiple ports to connect with the Southern Dynasty, so as to attract the available talents from the Southern Dynasty for its own use. People including Xu Zhuer and others felt that this idea may not be realistic. This was because the world was divided into two parts for hundreds of years.
People in the Song Dynasty had numerous misunderstandings and estrangements against the Zhou Dynasty, and people in the Southern Dynasties had daily rumors about the Zhou Dynasty that were even more overwhelming... Wherever they wanted people to come, they would come.
Who would have known that the people of the Southern Dynasties are very interesting. What they say on their lips and what they run under their feet are completely different. After the opening of many ports, the number of people coming from all over the country was very large. After the continuous gathering since the beginning of the year, it actually made the initial
The arranged ships are not enough.
After the first batch of ships went north, it was impossible to mobilize more ships. The army and trading houses each had important matters and had to wait for the first batch of ships to return.
Fortunately, Dazhou's transportation capacity is not limited to roads or ships. Over the past few years, many campsite sites for people to gather have also been built. For safety reasons, most of the later batches are placed along the coast.
on the island.
Anyway, there are military and commercial bases near these islands. It is easy to arrange supplies, and people will never starve. If the transfer is slightly delayed, people will not be able to leave for a while, and the relevant officials decide to simply send Cang
Wushan is used as a training camp for newcomers.
After all, these people are either people who were displaced from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, or they were people from the Northern Dynasty who voluntarily chose to leave their hometown for various reasons... Whichever one of them would definitely not directly meet the needs of the Zhou Dynasty to expand its influence in all directions, nor
There is no way to directly integrate into the organizational system of the military or commercial companies everywhere.
This is normal. In the Southern Dynasties, people who were literate and illiterate would definitely not be able to gain a foothold; in the Northern Dynasty, those who were martial and weak, or who did not know how to enforce orders and prohibitions and work as a team, would definitely not be able to play their role.
There is never any need for idle people in the army and commercial companies. After these people are filled everywhere, if they cannot adapt, the situation they will face will be very difficult, so every day's training time is precious.
But the training content is not complicated at all, it is just the most basic stuff found in military academies everywhere.
After a long time, the training situation on Cangwu Island was gradually spread by people transporting supplies, and it became a pastime for people in the shipyards and military ports on the other two large islands. From time to time, people took small boats to the island and came to watch.
lively.
Shipyards and military ports themselves are also places that are eager to hire people. As more and more people visit the island, their ranks are getting higher and higher, which means they can take a test in advance, and the test is not limited to those who have come all the way to seek refuge.
Ordinary people, in turn, include the instructors who train them.
Zhao Bin didn't have any objections to this. He was very senior and had a title. When the ordinary officials in the shipyard and military port saw him, they had to bow first.
But this is a good incentive for young people such as Wang Erbai and Xu Zhuer. Therefore, Zhao Bin uses this as an excuse to remind his subordinates from time to time and urge them to cheer up.
Once Xu Zhuer cheers up, ordinary people will inevitably be unlucky.
"Odd number! Odd number! I told the people who registered for the odd number to stand in the second row!"
Xu Zhuer waved the cane in his hand to make the wind blow, and swung it against someone's face: "Why the hell don't you go to the second row! Listen, I don't care who of you is knowledgeable or smart.
What a weird thing to do, if you register in an odd number, stand in the second row immediately!"
Training this group of flat names, mainly people from the Southern Dynasties, is completely different from training the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty. When the poor people of the Zhou Dynasty joined the army, many of them did not know how to count at all, let alone when odd and even numbers were used; while Song people generally
Some knowledge, if you have too much knowledge, you will either get entangled or be circuitous, and you will always get weird problems.
Xu Zhuer tried to solve it very seriously at first, but now he has figured it out. Anyway, he only asks if you listen to the order. If you don't, he will drag him out and fight.
Fortunately, these Song people were not stubborn. Once the sticks and whips came, they would overcome any difficulties on their own and did not cause Xu Zhuer too much trouble.
However, southerners are weak after all. Many people are suddenly subjected to rigorous training when they are in their thirties, and their brains cannot keep up, and their bodies cannot keep up. They have worked hard, and the training content is not difficult, but when it comes to ranking
During detachment or more complicated marching training, it is inevitable to make a fool of yourself.
Sometimes people bump into each other, and sometimes the queue stumbles over each other while trotting and turning, causing the regular audience to burst into laughter from time to time.
Amid laughter, Wang Erbai stood next to Zhao Bin and said with a distressed look on his face: "Xu Zhuer is still too polite. This can't continue like this."
Zhao Bin nodded: "It really won't work. You have to take strong medicine and practice hard."
Both of them felt that they needed to be more intense, but they were not talking about the same thing. At most, Wang Erbai wanted to use the stick and whip harder, but the harsh training in Zhao Bin's mouth was probably not enough for the ordinary people in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, someone will be killed.
At that moment, Wang Erbai was stunned and asked: "Do we need to use strong medicine? These people are either scholars, craftsmen or accountants. What is needed everywhere is their specialized talents. There is no need for them."
Go and kill and risk your life! What do you mean by using strong medicine?"
Zhao Bin squinted at the group of people laughing in the distance.
He noticed that among them there was a veteran who looked very energetic. He was clearly Yin Chang, who had previously served as Nanjing's deputy guard. At this time, Yin Chang was mixed in the crowd watching the training, occasionally twirling his beard and smiling, without any intention of revealing his identity. Zhao Bin
Of course I won't bother.
But the appearance of Yin Chang confirmed what Zhao Bin had vaguely heard before, and immediately made him determined.
He lowered his voice slightly and said to Wang Erbai:
"I often go to Haizhou these days, and I heard some things from my old friends. It is said that at the beginning of the year, because many people in the three military divisions in the south were agitated and wanted to fight, jumping up and down, which made His Majesty furious.
, and dealt with a number of generals. But there is nothing wrong with military men seeking war, so His Majesty decided to give these generals a chance and allowed them to choose a few new directions to try their hands and do some pioneering."
Originally discussing how to train the many ordinary people who had been recruited, Zhao Bin suddenly started talking and mentioned the well-kept scandal in the military in various places at the end of last year.
Wang Erbai was not surprised. He only glanced at Zhao Bin sideways and said, "You old man, where did you find out the secrets of the military and state?"
"Shut up and listen carefully!"
"Ahem, tell me."
"But these generals are waiting for crime. It is impossible for His Majesty to allow them to take their old troops and go out in groups. That is tantamount to allowing them to reorganize their own forces in other places. Therefore, they will be divided one after another.
They will be sent out, and those who coordinate and cooperate with them will be the first batch of people to invest in overseas development and are determined to be loyal and reliable."
"What do you need to say, it must be me!" Wang Erbai's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest until it made a thumping sound: "No wonder. I was doing a good job in the South China Sea, and suddenly someone called me here.
It turns out there is a great future waiting for you here!"
Zhao Bin originally wanted to say that he was himself. Obviously, as an emperor, he would not pay attention to Wang Erbai's level. But Wang Erbai was so positive and confident that he could not easily attack him, so he continued:
"These people in front of us are the available people who are prepared to be assigned to us; we must not only select people, train people, but also use people."
"Huh? Shouldn't those who employ people be those generals who are ordered to pioneer? We have our own team under us, and there is no shortage of people who can read and write, or accountants, craftsmen, and doctors. What do we want these Song people to do?"
"I heard that the introduction of these people from the Song Dynasty was the intention of Prime Minister Yelu. Prime Minister Yelu has always been considerate. I guess he wanted these people from the Song Dynasty to see our enterprising style of the Zhou Dynasty, and then make them become the flames of the future. It cannot be easily
I'm done with it, so... Well, I can't understand those trivial trade-offs even if I tell you about them. In short, practice harder, and then pick out particularly useful people and get them into your hands. We will have a new mission soon.
