Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 68 0065 [Battle of Birds]

After leaving the county government office, Zhu Ming asked the archers to go back to the school grounds, and he only took a few people to buy weapons.

When they came to the blacksmith shop, the store recognized them and knew that they were the archers who had eradicated Master Zhu.

"What do the officials want to buy?" The store greeted them warmly.

Zhu Ming said: "Sixty spears, the usual size. Another forty spears, which are thinner than usual."

The shopkeeper wondered: "Officer Rong Bing, I can't make weapons here."

Even if it is a non-regulated weapon, it cannot be made at will, and it must have a license issued by the government.

Zhu Ming said impatiently: "Don't talk so much nonsense, we are going to kill thieves, and the weapons issued by the county captain are useless. Just tell me, how long does it take to shoot a hundred spears? It doesn't need to be too delicate, it can be used if it is strong. Just use it."

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "If you don't seek precision, you can finish it in half a month."

"I only give you ten days. This is the deposit." Zhu Ming threw down the iron money and left.

"Officials go slowly." The shopkeeper sent them out.

Then he went to buy dung forks, but there were not enough finished products in the store, so Zhu Ming simply sent people out of the city to buy them at farmers' homes on the outskirts of the city.

He pulled another piece of linen and took it back to the school ground to make a banner.

When Ju Ming came to the school field again, the archers were bragging, and their mental outlook was much stronger than yesterday.

"Zhu Dutou is back!"

"Sit here at Dutou, I'll give Dutou the top spot!"

"..."

The archers came to greet him one after another, and surrounded Zhu Ming.

Even those libertines, who used to only listen to Chen Ziyi, are now very enthusiastic about Ju Ming.

What happened today is really cool!

But Zhu Ming said to Zhang Guangdao and Chen Ziyi: "If you don't eat enough today, you won't practice hard. There is no rule without rules. If you want to train soldiers, you must first set rules. The two brothers gathered the soldiers together."

"It should be like this!" Chen Ziyi wanted to see how Ju Ming trained soldiers.

In a short while, more than 300 archers stood up on the school field. The formation was crooked, not as good as the military training of middle school students.

Ju Ming stood on the stage and said: "Fighting in battle is not a child's play, it is about fighting for your life. Two days ago, when the rebel Zhu Zongdao was rounded up, many soldiers fled. Since there was no rule in advance, I will not pursue it. There will be no such thing in the future." So easy!"

"My rules are very strict. Those who violate the rules will be beheaded."

"Those who are not afraid of death, choose to be regular soldiers. Those who cannot bear it, choose to be miscellaneous soldiers."

"Heroes who are not afraid of death, all stand up!"

Because of the commotion at the county government, everyone was convinced by Zhu Ming. At this moment, when their brains became hot, more than half of them stood up in an instant.

There are quite a few people who were hesitant at first, but they also followed suit when they saw this.

Those who had been selected as officers before were unwilling to give up their status to become miscellaneous soldiers, and many of them stood in front with their heads held high.

"very good!"

Zhu Ming continued: "My mandarin duck formation consists of ten people, including the leader, there are 11 people. It is temporarily organized into a nineteenth team. Counting others, there are about 210 regular soldiers. There are too many soldiers, so let's give up now. The ones who are left can retreat on their own. Don't worry, even if you become a soldier, you can still eat dry food every day."

After waiting for a while, more than a dozen people retreated.

There were still too many soldiers, so Zhu Ming decided to expand the original plan.

Zhu Ming began to announce the military law, afraid that it would be complicated and difficult to understand, so he only reduced it to a few:

"First, gambling is not allowed in the army. Those who violate the order get five army sticks, and those who take the lead in gambling get twenty army sticks;"

"Secondly, drinking is not allowed in the army. Those who violate the order will receive five army sticks, and those who take the lead in drinking twenty army sticks;"

"Third, every day at 07:30 am ([-]:[-] in the morning), if you arrive late without any reason, ten army sticks, and the leader of the team will have twenty army sticks;"

"Fourth, those who do not obey military orders during drills will be punished with ten army sticks;"

"Fifth, when marching, deserters beheaded."

"Sixth, when fighting, march forward with drums and retreat with gongs. Those who are timid and retreat will be killed!"

"Only these six, if you don't understand, go and ask Pao Ze next to you. Don't make any more noise... Damn it, shut up all of them. Anyone who talks indiscriminately is violating the fourth rule!"

Before the six military rules were finished, the school grounds became noisy, buzzing like a vegetable market.

Zhu Ming has absolutely no experience in running a military. He forgot to set up a military law team first, and he doesn't know who to let law enforcement at the moment.

"Gu San comes out!" Zhu Ming shouted.

"exist!"

Gu San stepped forward quickly.

Zhu Ming asked, "You don't have a big name?"

Gu San replied: "My eldest brother is called Gu Yidao, my second brother is called Gu Erqiang, and I am called Gu Sanjian. This name is not easy to pronounce, so people call me Gu San, and sometimes they call me Gu Jiansan instead."

Zhu Ming couldn't help complaining: "Swords, guns, swords and halberds, if you have another younger brother, I'm afraid it should be called Gu Siji."

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, Gu San also scratched his head with a smile.

Zhu Ming said: "Those who practice the three are uncles. Swordsmen are ancient saints. How about you call them ancient uncles?"

"Thank you Dutou for the name!" Gu San said happily, the new name is much more prestigious.

Zhu Ming suppressed his smile: "Uncle Gu listens to the order!"

"Yes!" Gu San held his head high.

Zhu Ming ordered: "Go pick ten regular soldiers and form a military law team. If anyone violates the military order, no matter who it is, beat me to death!"

"Yes!" Gu San immediately went to select soldiers.

Zhu Ming looked at those who were still laughing and said, "Just make a fuss, and when the military law team is finished, I think we will kill a few of them today!"

The few rows of archers closest to Ju Ming immediately shut up when they heard the words, and the back gradually became quiet.

"very good!"

Zhu Ming was finally satisfied, and said to Zhang Guangdao and Chen Ziyi: "You two, each choose a deputy and six captains, and then let the three captains choose soldiers."

"As ordered!"

The two knew that Zhu Ming was serious, they didn't dare to talk nonsense, and rushed to choose someone.

After the two of them finish their selection, Zhu Ming will pick the rest.

Re-programmed archers, the situation is as follows:

Zhu Ming leads a personal guard team, a military law team, and six battle teams.A total of 94 people including officers and heralds.

Zhang Guangdao leads six teams.Including officers and heralds, there are 69 people in total.

Chen Ziyi leads six teams.Ditto.

More than a dozen drummers, gold-singing hands and flag commanders were selected.

Then choose from the miscellaneous soldiers, and each team will be assigned two soldiers, who are responsible for cutting off the head... Well, cut off the ears instead, and only cut off the right ear.

Zhu Ming said: "One more thing about military discipline is that when killing a thief, meritorious service will be recorded according to the team. All soldiers are only allowed to kill the enemy, and are not allowed to loot property and heads. Only the soldiers of each team are allowed to harvest property and heads. All property must be handed over, and I will distribute it uniformly. Anyone who violates the order will be beheaded! Do you hear me?"

"Yes." The archers responded sparsely.

Zhu Ming roared, "Speak up!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted.

In the morning, the county government made a big fuss, extorted money and food, and bought the morale of the army, all paving the way for the training of the army at this moment.

If he didn't go to the county government to make a fuss, it would be difficult for Zhu Ming to convince the crowd, and he wouldn't be able to continue his military training.

Then, the arms are arranged in detail. The bravest man is the sword and shield hand, with the pot cover in the left hand and the short soldier in the right hand.Zhu Zongdao and those old thieves under him contributed more than 20 knives, all of which were distributed to the sword and shield hands.

The rest of the arms are also selected, and temporarily replaced with wooden sticks and the like.

This day is just to get familiar with the formation, let them know their position, and then start to practice orders.

There is not enough time for training, so we can only simplify it.

That is to say, to rush forward when hearing the sound of drums, and to retreat when hearing the sound of gongs, all soldiers must follow the flags and gongs and drums to advance and retreat.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

"Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

The sound of gongs and drums sounded repeatedly in the school grounds, and the performance of the archers made Zhu Ming unbearable to watch.

Give them a good formation, it's fine when you're standing still.Once advancing or retreating, it's all a fucking mess, especially retreating, it's no different from rout.

Zhu Ming can only go off the field in person, drill his personal guards, and let other shooters watch.

"Law enforcement team!"

"exist!"

Gu San... Gu Shusheng brought people over.

Zhu Ming said: "Which one of you is walking around with sticks, rush up and beat them! Beat the drums!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The drums sounded, and the guards marched forward.

As he walked, a spearman became confused and almost walked out of the protection range of the wolf gunner and the boring gunner.

Zhu Ming immediately shouted: "The second spearman on the left, go out and receive the punishment! It's the first practice today, and I'm not familiar with the formation, so I only give the three armies sticks."

Gu Shusheng rushed forward with his men, dragged the spearman to the sidelines, stripped his pants and spanked his buttocks.

They were all brothers from the same family, and they didn't beat them hard.

It's not very lethal, but it's extremely insulting, and the bird is exposed when the pants are taken off.

Seeing this person being punished, the other archers laughed loudly, since it was not their turn anyway, they just wanted to watch the excitement.

Soon, they will stop laughing...

When the personal guards practiced a little decently, Zhu Ming asked all the archers to practice together, while the personal guards and military law team were in charge of watching.

Whoever went wrong, dragged out and spanked.

The military training in the school field has become a bird walking contest, where all kinds of birds compete for the best.

Dinner was served in the evening, and the food was finally normal.

Although they are still arranged according to their military positions, soldiers can't eat meat anyway, but they still have white rice to eat, and there is also oil and water in the vegetables.

Facing the delicious meal, most of the resentment of being spanked was dissipated in an instant.

There were two spanked libertines who came from well-to-do families and didn't care about the food.After finishing the meal, he quietly ran to Chen Ziyi and said, "Brother Chen, although the surname Zhu is loyal, he shouldn't punish me like this. I just took a few wrong steps, and immediately called me."

On the second day, continue to practice.

The food has been improved, and I am more vigorous in training.

And they are all very active. The formation is much more neat than yesterday. They are fighting a birdie defense.
