please make me king

Chapter 415

Hold your head high, draw your belly in and lift your hips, put your feet together, and put your hands on your sides.Although it is not quite standard, Zhang, who has undergone military training, made a template of standing posture by the way, and then asked the newly recruited "hair gourd" to stand according to this standard for half an hour.

Sure enough, not long after standing up, the naughty and active teenagers were either scratching their ears or winking.

Zhang Shun didn't get used to them, and directly asked Zhang Sanbai to punish them.Zhang Sanbai was already very strong, so he simply grabbed one of them with each hand. He picked out thirty or forty people in a row, beat them up in turn, and waited for the rest to be honest.

It was only after the tidiers were obedient that they showed good toughness and endurance. More than half of these children and teenagers were able to persist for half an hour.

Zhang Shun couldn't help being very surprised, and specially asked the boy who completed the order first to eat first, and the rest of the people who failed to complete the order had to wait for these people to finish eating before serving the meal.

This greatly encouraged these children and teenagers to compete for victory. They waited until the afternoon for training, and nine out of ten of them were able to persevere to the end.

Therefore, Zhang Shun struck while the iron was hot, and hurriedly trained them to walk.These trainings seem to be simple, and they will be taught once they are taught.But these people are used to laxity in the past, how can they change the old habits of many years?Once a little slack, the pace is chaotic again.

Zhang Shun had no choice but to tie their right foot with a stone so that they could not lift it, and then practice lifting their feet.When you are familiar with lifting your feet, you can start to practice walking, retracting your feet and turning around.After these are all practiced, Zhang combines them into one by the way, and directly practices the queue.

Of course, these individual exercises are still good, but once they are combined for training, they will be messed up again.However, Zhang Shun was not in the mood to reprimand these "wild children" at this time.

It turned out that after days of training, the rebel army's food was decreasing day by day. In addition to the food consumed in land reclamation, [-] to [-]% of the food purchased by Li Baihu many times was also consumed.Zhang Shenyan and Hong Niangzi also had to warn Zhang Shun quickly to make him prepare early.

Resources are the core of all problems, especially in agricultural societies where materials are scarce and productivity is backward.

Production in an agricultural society has its own rules: planting in spring, harvesting in autumn, cultivating in summer and storing in winter, and only one or two seasons can be cultivated throughout the year, which is enough food for a year.If there is a slight change in it, it is likely to be the rhythm of death.

Working hard all day long, I can't save much surplus food in a year.Surplus grain is the fundamental guarantee for labor and training in an agricultural society.

Because whether it is labor or training, it is a lot of physical activity, which will seriously increase the speed of food consumption.Today, Zhang encounters this problem by the way.

Fortunately, Zhang Shun still had gold and silver in his hands, so he called Li Baihu over and said, "What is the price of food outside now? Our rebel army has about [-] taels of silver and [-] taels of gold. How much grain and grass can we buy?"

After hearing the words, Li Baihu calculated for a long time, and then said: "Thousands of miles to feed grain, although there is water transportation, there is also a lot of loss. The Lord Qianfan promised to buy local grain at half a floor higher than the market price, and I will try to buy as much as possible."

"If there are any deficiencies, I want to abandon Nanzhili and go to the land of Huguang. As the saying goes: Huguang is cooked, the world is full. The food here is better than those in Eastern Henan and Nanzhili. The price is low and the quality is high, and it is easy to transport. .”

"According to my estimation, the amount of purchased grain should be between [-] shi and [-] shi."

Zhang Shun was surprised when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.He originally knew that two pieces of silver in his hand would be enough to buy ten thousand shi of grain, but now he could have seven or eight thousand to ten thousand shi more, which greatly eased his urgent need for food and grass.

It turned out that the price of grain in Huguang was slightly lower, and the rebel army was going to buy grain in Lu's, so there was less loss in the middle, so they could get so much grain.

Zhang Shun felt at ease, after arranging Li Baihu's purchase of grain, he was thinking about the training of "Mao Gourd", and hurried to the camp to check the progress of the training.

Such high-intensity, repetitive training for three months carved these habits and movements into the bones of these teenagers.

When Chen Changbing, Zhang Shenyan and others saw this team again, they saw Zhang Shun give an order, and they lined up neatly, walking in the same pace, following the formation.

Or a square array, or a vertical array, or a horizontal array, neat and uniform, like an arm and a finger, just like a person.

They were deeply shocked, and even Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I heard that Qi's army had strict military discipline in the past, but I still don't believe it. Now that I see the soldiers trained by the lord, even the footsteps sound like walking alone. I know that there are mountains beyond the mountains, and heaven beyond the sky." .If my rebel army has tens of thousands of such strong soldiers, the world is so big, where can we stop it?"

Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Ordinary soldiers have been trained for three months since they were recruited, and they have been trained for three months. As a soldier, I have only practiced some basics. Formation, bows and arrows, and golden drums The pennant has not been practiced at all, so what is there to praise?"

"What's more, this land of the Lu family was originally famous for producing soldiers. The Ming Dynasty often recruited and trained them as elite soldiers. Now if I finish all the training, I'm afraid it will take six months and more than three times the cost of food and grass , if we can't stand the battle any longer, won't my King Shun be in vain?"

After showing the results, Zhang Shun recruited Ma Yingniang and said, "These soldiers can practice tactics. Use the tactics you learned from Ma Fengyi to your heart's content!"

Ma Yingniang was already eager to try, and said quickly after hearing the words: "The chieftain's method of warfare is to use twenty-five people as a banner, and set up a banner leader with twenty-six people. Each banner is arranged in a conical formation, with one, three, five, seven, Nine people line up, with the head of the banner behind. Twenty-five banners form a division, and each banner is arranged in a conical formation of one, three, five, seven, and nine, with the division chief behind."

"The chieftain soldiers are all wearing heavy armor and holding bows and arrows. They use bows and arrows far away and hook guns close up. Because of their fierce fighting methods, ordinary battle formations are often easily torn apart by them and defeated by one blow. Even if it is not good for the battle , can also defend itself. Gei’s conical formation is different from the square formation, except for the rear of the formation, there are no other flaws. Even if the rear of the formation is attacked, the commander only needs to command the rear team to change the front team to defend.”

Zhang Shun roughly deduced it in his heart, and couldn't help being surprised.This ordinary conical formation was turned into a flower by Shizhu chieftain.Fortunately, the more than [-] "hair gourds" have already been well-trained by myself and others, so it is easy to change any lineup.

After that, Zhang Shun asked Dudu Zhang to distribute the armor and hook guns that had already been built to these "hair gourds" for use.As for bows and arrows, due to the complicated production process and long production cycle, they still use their own bows and arrows.

At this point, the training of the new army was coming to an end, Zhang Shun simply entrusted all this to Xiao Qinhu, Zhang Sanbai and Ma Yingniang, and asked them to continue training according to the formation and tactics of the chieftain soldiers.I will pay attention to Zhang Dudu's weapon manufacturing.
