Chapter 9 Yunmeng Mine Salt
In April of the 58th year of Kangxi, it had been two months since Ning Yu came to Zhuangzi. In these two months, not only the [-] teenagers had undergone radical changes, but even this Yunmeng Villa has made people feel reborn. Can't recognize it either.

Today's Yunmeng Villa is not so much a villa as it is a military camp. Outside the gate, there will be students from the Young Eagle Camp standing guard every day, and the guards are strict. After entering the gate, there is a vast flat land inside. The flat ground has been leveled, and now the trainees are training on the flat ground every day.

Ning Zhongyuan already knew about the existence of the Eagle Battalion. Although he hadn't been here in person, he attached great importance to it and personally appointed six military experts to help Ning Yu with training. The military training method, coupled with the reward and punishment measures and the battalion committee system, have given the entire Young Eagle Battalion a new look.

Just when the study and training were in full swing, Ning Yu also started the next step, which was to take the students out for training.

"Everyone listen to the order. Today's order is very simple. Everyone must complete the [-]-mile cross-country training within two hours. Now it is Chen's office, and the deadline is to arrive at the target location at the beginning of noon. The first team who arrives first will have extra meals today ! There are fish and meat!"

"Yes!" The students in the audience shouted in unison, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

At this time, all the student soldiers in the audience held their heads high and held their chests high, carrying a short-handled wooden spear on their backs. The length of this wooden spear was slightly longer than the rifles of later generations. Bayonets, this is the pattern drawn by Ning Yu imitating the triangular army bayonets of later generations. They were made and sent back to Ning's house. There are a total of 250 bayonets.

Because the rough iron material of this era is relatively brittle and not tough enough, ordinary hand knives adopt the method of thickening the blade body to increase the strength of the blade body, but in this way, cutting something that is slightly harder will become blunt, so The Qing army in this era used hand knives not so much to cut people, but to saw them.

Therefore, in this case, the three-sided army thorn is a better choice. It has a three-sided knife, the only function is to stab, and it is very simple to make.As for the option of using refined iron and steel, Ning Yu denied it from the very beginning, because the price of refined iron and steel in this era is too expensive.

In order to make better use of the power of this weapon, Ning Yu also specially asked those military experts to familiarize themselves with this weapon, and asked them to compile a set of simple and effective bayonet skills and teach them to the students.

Although these military masters are veterans on the battlefield who have seen a lot of blood, after all, they have never seen such a short spear, so they also have a headache, and vaguely expressed doubts: there is no need for a long gun, and this kind of short Yes, what's the use?

Ning Yu didn't tell them the reason, but just let them get familiar with it. Whoever is the first to be able to use this kind of lance proficiently will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and thus the thorn gun gradually became popular in the Young Eagle Camp.

Following an order, all the students marched in a column like a hill outside the village. The hill was nearly [-] miles away from the villa. Although the road was not so smooth, it was not difficult for these young students to cross. hinder.

The trainees have been trotting along the road in silence. Since the nutritional supply during this period is still sufficient, the bodies of the trainees have gradually become stronger and their physical fitness has gradually improved, and they can adapt to the needs of some high-intensity sports.

Ning Yu is very clear that under such daily high-intensity training conditions, food for the students is the most important thing, and even less fish and less meat will not work. Only when wolves eat meat can they have enough strength to bite their prey. If the supply of nutrition is not up, it will only increase the intensity of training, which will destroy the bodies of these students.

However, this level of nutritional supply caused the money in Ning Yu's account to flow out like water. When Ning Zhongjing first received the purchase material list, his eyes widened. The average personal food consumption is at least three to five times that of ordinary families in this era, and in addition to grain and rice, they also need about 300 catties of pork and more than [-] catties of fish every month.

It was under this kind of supply regardless of cost that the students gradually recovered their physical condition, but it also caused a monthly expenditure of up to 80 taels of silver.

Don't worry about seven or eight taels of silver. In this day and age, the annual expenses of an ordinary family of three are only seven or eight taels of silver. This is just food, clothing, daily expenses, etc., based on Ning Yu's current account. With more than a thousand taels of silver on the table, it barely lasted for less than a year.

Therefore, Ning Yu came here this time for cross-country training, and for ordinary mineral salt. According to his later memories, the distribution area of ​​Yunmeng's mineral salt is very dense, so so many people search carefully, and they should be able to find it.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the heads of the students were sweating. Ning Yu rode alone on the horse and followed behind, not only to urge them not to slack off, but also to prevent some students from falling behind.

Out of the consideration of disciplinary training, Ning Yu called these teenagers student soldiers, one for study and the other for military, to let them understand that they are soldiers from the root.Therefore, under the long-term disciplinary training, these teenagers have developed a taciturn temperament, and everything depends on Ning Yu's orders.

The soldiers called Ning Yu the camp seat in the Young Eagle Camp—only Dong Ce insisted on calling Ning Yu the young master in private. In Dong Ce's eyes, Ning Yu is his eternal master.

Dong Ce tried his best to run at the front, but he remembered the scenes of these years in his mind. He escaped from the north all the way, and the rest of the family had already fallen, but he was the only one who struggled to climb in. Charity Temple.

Until Ning Yu appeared, he had never had a full meal, and Dong Ce felt his heart beating until he reached the Young Eagle Camp, and felt that he was living like a human being.

For Young Eagle Camp, Dong Ce truly regards this place as his home, a place he has guarded all his life.

"Dong Ce, I won't lose to you again today!" The thick Xu Chengdong bumped Dong Ce deliberately with his body, waking him up.

Dong Ce's body is thinner than Xu Chengdong's, so he was almost staggered, but he didn't care, and snorted: "You big black man, the best is yet to come, today our team will be the leader !"

Sitting on the horse, Ning Yu naturally saw the two people's small actions clearly, but he didn't take it seriously. Healthy competition is a good thing, and it can promote mutual progress. Of course, if there is a tendency to develop into a private fight, Ning Yu will also Will solve the problem at the first time, or solve the person who created the problem.

The two hours were about to pass, and the target hill had already appeared in everyone's sight. At this time, the queue could no longer be maintained, and Ning Yu didn't push too much. After all, it was not so good to be able to travel thirty miles within two hours. The mountain road to walk, it is definitely impossible for the gang of green camp uncles to come.

Because Ning Yu was riding a horse, he went up to the top of the mountain first. The southern hills were relatively short, so it didn't take too much effort, but looking at the gloomy color in front of him, Ning Yu gradually relaxed his nervous mood.

"Report to the camp! All 20 members of Team B have arrived, and no one is left behind. Please review!"

Dong Ce, covered in sweat, stood at attention in front of Ning Yu's horse. Although there were scratches from branches on his arms and legs, he didn't care. When he saw the satisfied look in Ning Yu's eyes, he opened his mouth and smiled. Incomparably brilliant.
