Great Tang princess

Chapter 240 Training
Li Yuechen could still vaguely remember the old-fashioned sewing machine he had seen back then. There was probably a pedal under his feet, which was connected to a wheel on the table with a belt, and the sewing machine was driven by stepping on the pedal.

It's just that with the development of technology, it seems that I haven't seen it since I went to high school.

But this kind of machine that doesn't need electricity is still possible to develop in this era, but she doesn't know the internal structure of the sewing machine, so it needs the cooperation of professionals in this era to make it possible.

But there is no need to worry about this matter, the most urgent thing now is to get the troops' affairs done first.

Geng Yunqiang and others were arranged in the dormitory of the glass workshop. There was actually not enough space, so the remaining [-] people camped directly outside the glass workshop.

On the second day, everyone was assembled and lined up outside the glass workshop to form a square, waiting for the princess to speak.

The front of the phalanx was facing a drop, which was less than two meters high.

Li Yuechen jumped onto this natural high platform, facing the five hundred soldiers below, with his hands behind his back and his feet apart, maintaining a straddling posture, he spoke loudly.

"From now on, you will be a member of Zuo Qianniuwei! I believe that Geng Yunqiang brought the order of my palace, and you all joined voluntarily, right?"

"Yes—" the soldiers below answered in unison.

"Very good!" Li Yuechen nodded, and replied blankly, "You will definitely regret this decision! Because this army will do the most dangerous missions in the future! It will also face tough training! Here, you will understand what an army is and what a collective is! I will say it one last time, if someone quits at this time, no matter the crime! But after today, if you want to quit in the future, you will be dealt with as a deserter! Who wants to quit?! "

There was no answer from the soldiers below, and there was silence.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay! Get ready for the next training over there."

……

After the lecture, Li Yuechen returned to the palace. The barracks hadn't been built yet, and Li Yuechen didn't plan to invest in high-intensity training from the beginning.

I plan to start with simple queues, turning around, walking in unison, etc., and at the same time start to pay close attention to cultural and educational issues.

While the barracks are not yet built, let them eat better and nourish their bodies so that they can cope with the next training.

Early the next morning, Li Yuechen took Shangguan Wan'er and the others to practice yoga, and after breakfast, they went to the glass workshop.

At the same time, Geng Yunqiang and others at the glass workshop also got up early according to the rules discussed yesterday, and then started running.

This was what Li Yuechen asked when he left yesterday, and Geng Yunqiang and others did not dare to neglect it. The sun had just jumped out, and before it was bright, Geng Yunqiang led the soldiers and started running around the glass workshop.

At the same time, the temporary cooking team formed by the royal chefs also began to get busy, making breakfast for the soldiers.

According to Li Yuechen's theory that morning and noon must be eaten well, in the morning there is white rice porridge, white flour steamed buns plus two meat and two vegetarian dishes.

Outside, according to Li Yuechen's request, Geng Yunqiang and others had to run five laps around the glass workshop, which was about three kilometers in conversion.

At this time, many soldiers have begun to secretly regret it. It doesn’t matter if they run like this for a day now and then. If they run like this every day in the future, their bodies will not be able to bear it at all.

I woke up early in the morning without eating anything, just drank some water and started running. After running, many soldiers' stomachs started to growl.

But at this time, Li Yuechen had already come over, just after entering the glass workshop, Geng Yunqiang also led the people to run the last lap.

Seeing Geng Yunqiang stop to greet the princess, many soldiers sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen just waved his hand to Geng Yunqiang's salute, then walked over and lightly kicked a soldier sitting on the ground on the thigh.

"Your Highness..."

The soldier was shocked and got up quickly to salute.

Li Yuechen turned his head and said loudly: "If you don't want your legs to be crippled, don't rest immediately after running, but walk more..."

Hearing her words, the soldiers sitting on the ground stood up one after another and began to walk in place.

"Hongfeng, you need to learn more about these little things when you manage this army in the future." Li Yuechen turned his head and said.

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's line up for dinner!" Li Yuechen waved his hand.

……

At present, there is no way to build a canteen in the glass workshop, so only fifty large tables are placed in the open-air yard, and one table can seat ten people.

A shed was made of bamboo poles and canvas above the head to prevent sudden rain or something.

Today's vegetarian dishes are wild vegetables and tofu, while meat dishes are pork and chicken.

Looking at the generous dishes in the four pots on each table, and the delicious white flour steamed buns, the soldiers queuing up here moved their Adam's apples up and down and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

If it wasn't for seeing that the princess was still here, I'm afraid they would have already swarmed over.

Li Yuechen took two steps forward, turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Listen well, there is no limit to food, although you can eat as much as you want, but if I let this palace know who dares to waste... Military law! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The soldiers answered in unison.

"Can't hear you, speak up!" Li Yuechen shouted suddenly.

"Understood!!!" This time the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Well, sit down and eat! Go and get the porridge and eggs by yourself!" Li Yuechen pointed to the imperial chefs next to him, and then turned and walked aside.

Seeing the soldiers sitting down and starting to eat, Li Yuechen who was sitting next to him also smiled. During this period of time, let them get used to it and improve it a little bit. It is best to give them a time to adapt gradually.

The soldiers gnawed on the steamed buns, picked up pieces of meat and stuffed them into their mouths, and soon the two plates of meat and vegetables were empty.

Li Yuechen had foreseen this situation in advance, so he cooked a lot of dishes on the first day.

"If you don't have any, go over there and call. It's still the same sentence, get as much as you eat!"

Seeing the reminder from the princess, the soldiers boldly took the empty vegetable pots to the side to fetch vegetables, and returned with them to continue eating.

For these soldiers, many of them would not be able to eat such a sumptuous meal even during the Chinese New Year, and the unhappiness caused by running in the morning seemed to have completely faded away at this moment.

If you have this kind of food every day, you will be tired.

……

Seeing that the soldiers had eaten almost everything, Li Yuechen got up and said, "Every time after eating, one person should be left on each table to be responsible for cleaning the table. They rotate every day, remember!"

Then he instructed them to wipe the table with a sackcloth and put the finished plate back.

Suddenly seeing some unfinished wild vegetables in the dinner plate on one of the tables, Li Yuechen stopped in his tracks.

"Stand up whoever was eating at this table just now!"

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, no one speaks, and no one stands up.

"Humph!"

Li Yuechen sneered suddenly: "Losing Money Palace still thinks that you guys who dare to sign up to come here are good-looking guys. You dare to do this kind of thing but don't dare to admit it... It turns out that you are also some cowards..."

This kind of provocative method is still very useful in this era. Hearing this sentence, ten people immediately stood up.

They whispered: "Your Highness, we are waiting."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Okay, if you dare to act hard, this is the man who is Zuoqianniuwei! But the rules are the rules, and you should be punished if you waste food!"

After finishing speaking, she directly poured the remaining wild vegetables on the plate on the ground, and then stepped on it twice.

Then, in front of all the soldiers, he reached out and picked up a crushed vegetable leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Your Highness!"

Geng Yun, who was next to him, was shocked, and was about to speak to stop him, but Li Yuechen waved his hand to stop him.

Then she pointed at the soldiers just now: "It's the same for you, each of you picks up a little for Bengong to eat! Hongfeng, and you!"

"Yes!"

Geng Yunqiang didn't ask the reason, but also picked up a trampled vegetable leaf and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers also squatted down and stuffed the vegetable leaves on the ground into their mouths.

From their expressions, one should be able to see a complex emotion, perhaps guilt, or something else.

Li Yuechen turned his head and said: "Perhaps you have doubts in your heart, if this is only done by one person, why are you all punished?"

"Because the army is a collective, you and I are also a collective, a collective that prospers and loses all! Therefore, whether it is honor or mistake, it is our collective responsibility! Today, I am punished together with you, which is a practice. Do it!"

"At the same time, I also hope that you will remember that every porridge and meal is hard-won! People, food is the sky! You must appreciate the preciousness of food!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Okay, breakfast is over, everyone go to the yard to gather, today you have to learn to line up and divide left and right!"

This is not a joke. In this era, there are really many people who are indiscriminate between left and right, so it is especially important to teach them this.

……

The well-fed soldiers stood in a square formation in the yard, and Li Yuechen began to teach them how to divide left and right.

however……

Li Yuechen, who was already mentally prepared, was almost blown out of his mind. It took him more than an hour to teach them all about such a simple question.

I started teaching after eating in the morning, and it was almost time for lunch after the thorough church.

Li Yuechen, who had finally learned the lesson, couldn't help but sighed, building an army was much more difficult than imagined.

At noon, there was still a sumptuous meal of four dishes, one soup and white rice. The braised pork and stewed chicken nuggets made the soldiers gobble up again.

But because the training in the morning is not particularly tiring, I can't eat much.

But after what happened in the morning, no one dared to waste food at noon, and would rather eat less than waste.

Li Yuechen is still satisfied with this result, at least it shows that the education in the morning was successful.

In the afternoon, I started to teach the queue again, turn left, right, back, and the most critical military posture.

Because the rest was replaced by a straddle, the soldiers' body stiffness could be avoided during the transition between movements.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the food in the evening was very simple, just white porridge and pickles.

After dinner, they did not arrange any training, but listened to Li Yuechen's speech.

"As a soldier, the most important thing is not a strong body, but a collective sense of honor and loyalty to the country and the royal family. This is the soul of the army!"

"As a soldier, we should take it as our duty to protect our home and country, and regard the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty as the most lofty ideal!"

……

First, instill a simple impression on them through simple speeches and lectures, and then carry out deeper education after starting to teach them how to read and write.

This kind of plan went relatively smoothly, and more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past ten days, the spirits of the soldiers have undergone a series of changes.

The first is the queue, which has been able to walk more neatly. Although it is not yet at the level of the future army, it has already been able to throw off a large part of the army of this era.

Li Yuechen who saw this scene was very happy. After training for a period of time and then changing into uniforms, he can consider letting his father take a look at this brand new army.

During this period of time, there was no training in any combat subjects, just simple queues, turning around, walking in unison, and so on.

Don't underestimate this, discipline is cultivated through such small details.

During this period of time, apart from supervising and urging training, Li Yuechen was also thinking about another thing, the issue of organization.

In terms of numbers, a unit of 500 people is almost a battalion-level unit. Then there is another question. Is it more appropriate for this battalion to be divided into three companies or five companies?
If there are five companies, each company has 100 people, so it seems easier to understand.

But the number of people will always increase and decrease in the future, there is no need to engage in this kind of weaving like obsessive-compulsive disorder patients.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Yuechen still decided to divide into three companies, each with 50 and 50 people as the basis, and the extra [-] people will be trained as officers.

A company of 50 30 people is divided into five rows, and a row of [-] people is exactly the number of one room.

A platoon is divided into two squads, and then it is enough to elect the squad leader and deputy squad leader respectively. This kind of management structure is the best.

Geng Yunqiang and Niu Ermao can serve as the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander respectively to assist the general Li Yuechen in management.

During this period of time, let's take a good look at those people who are doing better and can be transferred to be trained as future military officers.

After the military area is built, the rank of squad leader is first awarded the rank of corporal, second lieutenant of platoon leader, lieutenant of company commander, and captain of deputy battalion commander.

As for the battalion commander, a major rank needs to be established.

Li Yuechen himself... Maybe he can enjoy the epaulets of the rank of major general by then.

Of course, a military rank is a military rank, and a position is a position, and this thing still needs to be separated.

Among other things, my students are about to graduate now, and then there will be a few people who will be teachers to these soldiers and teach them cultural lessons.

This is basically equivalent to the role of an instructor, and the rank of a lieutenant cannot escape.

And some of these students may become staff officers in the future, and the military rank must be changed according to the situation.

　Thank you [Little K] for the reward of 100 starting coins!
