Chapter 201 Different Military Training
If you behave well, you will be rewarded with meat.Poor performance, hungry for dinner.

When it was time for dinner, five people who performed particularly well today, each carrying a large bowl full of meat, squatted beside the crowd, chewing with great relish.

Hey, those guys who want to go to bed hungry are so greedy that they drool.

Illiterate people, what do you understand?
This person is afraid of comparison.As long as there is a competition, if you are competitive and envious, you will definitely prosper.

Be obedient and eat meat.If you are disobedient, you will be hungry.

Simple and crude, but surprisingly effective.

Yesterday, Yuzhu taught everyone to recognize left and right, and when queuing, know who is on both sides of you.

Today, Yuzhu taught everyone to understand simple passwords according to the order of the lesson plan.

"I said, all pay attention, everyone should keep their legs together and keep their eyes on me."

"I said, look to the right, everyone does not move their bodies, like me, only move their heads, and look to the right to see the tip of the nose of the person next to them..."

Yuzhu demonstrated the movements over and over again, teaching everyone the most basic military posture.

During the break in the exercise room, the tailors came. They took a ruler and measured everyone's height, waist circumference and so on.

In the past, taxpayers did not have uniform clothing, and Yuzhu felt that it would be impossible to continue like this.

Anyway, there was a lot of public funds, so Yu Zhu simply sent someone to call a tailor, planning to make some standard tax soldier costumes for everyone.

The official hat without a crown clearly highlights the superior status of the tax soldiers.

Black blouse, black trousers, gray cloth belt, gray leggings.

Originally, the straw sandals that everyone wore had to be replaced with cloth shoes.

In addition to the uniform color and style, all trousers are paired with short shirts, the hem of the clothes is tucked into the waistband of the trousers, and leggings must be worn on the trouser legs.

It is impossible for tax soldiers to be equipped with horses. If they want to have mobility, they can only rely on two legs.

As for armor, artillery and firecrackers, Yuzhu didn't even dare to think about it.

After taking their measurements, the tailors did not leave immediately, but rushed to make gray leggings on the spot according to Yuzhu's request.

After the tailors had left, Yuzhu called everyone to line up to demonstrate on the spot and teach them how to make leggings.

It's just two leggings, Yuzhu taught it for a full hour and a half, but there are still some people who can't beat.

"Niu Tai, drag him down and beat him three times." Yuzhu was so angry that he ordered a spanking.

Blind stick education will definitely not work.However, for the illiterate, education without sticks cannot promote the progress of learning.

"Papa papa!" Niu Tai was a quick man, and when he caught someone, he just went down with three sticks, beating the fool until he moaned and cried out in pain.

Today's lunch was arranged by Yu Zhu himself.

The steamed white rice is filling, and there are four dishes to accompany the meal: pickled radish strips, small salted fish, pork roasted with white cabbage, and a large iron pot of meat bone soup.

Yuzhu's status is different, he can't learn from Wei Qing's approach to the people, but can only choose Huo Qubing's model.

Among the eating crowd, there was a black-faced man with a bowl full of big meat. He ate heartily and his mouth was full of oil.

Seeing that everyone looked at the black-faced man with envy, Yu Zhu couldn't help but smile slightly. For these poor men, if they had the opportunity to eat such a big bowl of meat, wouldn't that be too cruel?
According to Yuzhu's knowledge, the tenants in the northern countryside can only eat two meals a day of porridge mixed with wild vegetables.As for cooking, you can only have a chance to eat it when the farming season is busy.

As a side dish, most of the tenants are pickled radish strips, and it is rare to see meat all year round.

Those who have reached the training standard will eat a large bowl of meat, which is Yuzhu's targeted measure.Looking at it now, the effect is extremely remarkable. The black-faced man who is devoted to eating meat is very hated.

Hey, that's right!

Yu Zhu couldn't take the original tax soldiers in the tax patrol camp with him.

However, the fifty or so poor children Sun Chengyun recruited alone could naturally be taken by Yu Zhu wherever he went.

More than [-] well-trained grassroots officers are by his side, no matter what officer Yu Zhu will be promoted in the future, he can pull up a team anytime and anywhere.

After lunch, Yuzhu took Wu Sheng for a casual stroll in the barracks.

Suddenly, a deadly smell came straight into the nostrils. Yuzhu looked at the source of the smell, but saw that the ground was full of excrement and urine, and blowflies were buzzing in the pile of dirt. fly away.

Yuzhu immediately realized that he was Zhao Kuo again.If so many people gather together, if the excretion problem is not solved, the water source will definitely be polluted, which will lead to the occurrence of plague.

Moreover, the issue of epidemic prevention of drinking water was also neglected by him.

"It's time to fight, it's time to fight!" Yuzhu blamed himself secretly, and immediately called for Sun Chengyun.

"Everyone is defecating everywhere, and the camp is full of stench. This is not a long-term solution. I think we should build a few separate huts." Yuzhu thought for a while and added, "We must use wells for drinking water. Let the water stand for an hour, then cover the iron pot, and boil it for half an hour before drinking it. If we are infected with the plague, I will cry to death if I am not scared to death.”

Sun Chengyun has been watching with cold eyes. He found that Yuzhu's military training method is full of weirdness and uniqueness.

However, the poor children who couldn't even stand in line yesterday, now stand in a row and barely form a straight line. The progress is very obvious.

"I don't have any skills. It's okay to take care of the luggage. We will do whatever you say." Sun Chengyun was quite self-aware. Since Yuzhu wanted to make troubles, he let him make troubles.

Twenty days later, the fifty or so seeded officers under Yuzhu had begun to take shape in terms of formation.

"Attention all." Following Yuzhu's order, the officers and seeds lined up in two rows, "Snap!" They all put their legs together, like javelins, and stood up straight.

Sharpening a knife does not cut firewood by mistake.

Yuzhu has always believed that as long as he has practiced the officers in front of him proficiently, the expansion of the army is just a matter of course.

Now, Yuzhu's subordinates have mastered the sense of direction proficiently, and under the blessing of sticks, they have also cultivated a preliminary obedience.

Next, according to the consideration of the training progress, Yuzhu will start the small coordination training of the spear formation.

The so-called long spear array means to line up in several rows and charge forward with spears!
In the hands of the tax soldiers, they can only be equipped with knives and guns.Of course, in the long run, each person must have a flintlock.

Isn't this not allowed for the time being?

The weapons and equipment of the modern army, in addition to flintlock guns, are artillery.It is currently impossible to obtain these two jade pillars.

But, can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?
Now that the long spear array has been trained, it will be easy to replace it with a bayonet-equipped flintlock in the future!
Line infantry, the most important thing, besides the flintlock, is the courage to fight.

In today's tax patrol camps, the equipment is certainly crude.However, as long as the new-style tax soldiers dare to charge and stab, they are already much stronger than the Eight Banners soldiers who have gradually lost their courage to fight hand-to-hand!
Those who advance, eat meat and reward money, get promoted and get rich.

For those who retreat, they will be beaten with [-] army sticks, starved for three days, and sent back to their hometown to eat chaff!

A barracks, not a playground.Putting aside whether it is possible to fight a war, it must be strictly prohibited at present.

As the progress of military training continued to deepen, various emergencies emerged one after another, and Yu Zhu had to find a way to remedy them.

Yu Zhu felt that when he just started training, he was like a keyboard warrior who was talking about soldiers on paper.I thought that everything was under control, but who would have thought that the plan has not changed quickly and needs corrections from time to time.

"First row, go forward three steps, stab!" Yu Zhu ordered.

The tax soldiers in the first row lined up neatly and took three steps forward.

"Kill." They shouted in unison, firing their guns together.

There was no one to kill, but the momentum of the assault was already very bluffing.

Yuzhu rubbed his chin, and couldn't help but smile, big meat, big money, and army sticks are really good for dealing with these illiterate people.

Training during the day and literacy at night, this is the rule set by Yuzhu.

The teacher in charge of teaching everyone to read is a specially invited scholar named Gao.

In this era when white paper is extremely expensive, so many people write with white paper every day, and the cost is too high.

After two days of pondering, Yu Zhu ordered a carpenter and a painter to make a large white-painted board and place it obliquely on the wooden table at the front of the classroom.

When Gao Xiucai taught everyone how to read, he held a pen in his hand, dipped only a little black ink, and wrote large characters on the whiteboard for everyone to recognize.

Black ink, even if it seeps into the white paint, is not afraid. After scraping it off with a knife, paint the white paint again, that's it.

Even if the black ink is completely dry, it is just right to wipe it with a wet cotton tissue, and then use a dry cotton tissue to absorb the water.

Although Gao Xiucai is an honest person, he is not a bookworm who does not know how to adapt.

Since Yuzhu only asked to understand military orders, Gao Xiucai completely gave up on the Four Books and Five Classics, except for the Analects of Confucius.For the time being, he only teaches those books of enlightenment, especially "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters".

The teacher's things are all ready, and the utensils for students to practice handwriting are even easier.Yuzhu ordered someone to find a carpenter, and ordered many large rectangular wooden boxes with open mouths.

This kind of wooden box is very simple, that is, a few wooden boards joined together with mortise and tenon.

The box is filled with sand, and the students hold the branches in their hands, and they can practice calligraphy with Gao Xiucai.

After another two months, the queue, military posture and thrust training were basically completed.

Every morning, under the leadership of Niu Tai, the tax soldiers would run for ten miles around the camp in full gear.

Without a horse, if you can't work hard, what about mobile warfare?

According to the military system of the green battalion, guards are promoted to infantry, infantry are promoted to cavalry, and cavalry are promoted to extra commissioners.

Additional foreign commissioners are the lowest-ranking officers, and their status is equivalent to that of a platoon leader.

In addition, in the combat organization of the green battalion, the battalion is the basic combat unit, and there is no fixed number of personnel.

Below the battalion is Xun, which is the most basic organizational unit, equivalent to a company-level unit.

The bigger problem is that in the rules of the imperial court, there are no regulations at all on the establishment of battalions and floods, which can be large or small.

This gave Yu Zhu a good opportunity to take advantage of the loophole.

54 people, just enough for a flood, this is equivalent to a strengthened platoon.

Under the flood, there is a special chief, that is, the squad leader, who is in charge of ten soldiers.

There are five weapons in total, four fighters and one personal soldier.

There are 11 warriors, including the commander.There are ten soldiers.

After the initial formation of the battle formation, of course it is necessary to test the results of the training.

Following Yuzhu's order, let all the chiefs pull out their own team, and he will conduct the assessment face to face.
