Traveler Major League

Chapter 72 The period of great development

In terms of individual equipment, each soldier added a pair of standard leggings, which are similar to the leggings of Ming soldiers, but there are differences.

The leggings designed by Liu Ze are made of sturdy ordinary cloth, with a flat head on one end and a cloth rope fixed on the other end. The fixing point is made stronger to ensure that it will not be easily damaged or dropped during the march. The leggings are 1.5 centimeters wide. Above, the length is 2 meters to [-] meters. The biggest function of using leggings is to help soldiers walk and march long distances.

The way to put on the leggings is to wrap the flat end from the upper around the feet and legs flatly. Turn the leggings over every circle or two to ensure that the flat surface of the legs continues to hit the bend of the legs. You should stand up and hit it with a moderate degree of tightness. Too tight and you won't be able to walk, and too loose will not work. Well-fitted leggings should seal the shoe openings tightly, and they won't loosen after walking for a long time.According to the standard, it is better to be able to hold a playing card between the legs.

From ancient times to the present, even to the period of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the march of basic infantry mainly relied on their legs.

During the long-term march, the legs swing back and forth, and the blood will sink and accumulate in the legs, which is prone to muscle soreness, fatigue, swelling, and even varicose veins and other diseases in the long run.

Wearing leggings will reduce or even avoid this situation. In the field march, leggings can also effectively avoid insects, leeches and other stings. In case of injury, you can also use leggings as a first aid bandage. The combination of leggings can be connected to form a rope, and can also be used with wooden sticks to make a temporary stretcher, and even captives can be tied with leggings, which is truly multi-purpose.

In addition to leggings, make emergency dry food.

Emergency dry food is divided into four catties per person. Two liters of rice are fried in a pan, and one liter is wrapped; the other liter is ground into powder and wrapped.

Two liters of flour, one liter of sesame oil and mix well, one liter of steamed and mixed.

The wheat noodles are steamed and divided into ten parts.

Soak Liufen with good shochu, dry it in the sun, and soak it again until it cannot be soaked. Grind it into glutinous rice and wrap it well.

The other quarter is soaked with salt and vinegar, dried in the sun and soaked again, the method is the same as above, until it cannot be soaked, then dried in the sun, ground into fine powder, and wrapped well.

This is also the method of making military dry rations for the Qi family army. These dry rations are not for normal consumption, but during battles, or when there is no time to light a fire for cooking, or when the food is cut off in a tight siege; the dry rations are only allowed to be eaten by the order of the superior.However, you must follow the order as much as you eat at a time, and it is by no means that you can eat as much as you want.

Generally, if the food transportation to the rear is cut off, that is, the above-mentioned standard portion of dry food for individual soldiers can last for three days.

One company of the militia battalion was assigned to defend in the Acropolis, while the others were stationed in the county seat. The main battalion was similar except that one company was left to defend in the county seat.

Because of the low level of education, in order to train the left and right queues more easily, they all wore shoes and one foot was bare instead, so a funny scene appeared on the school field.

"The shoe is left, the foot is right."

"The shoe is left, the foot is right."

It is still the main training queue, not practicing fists and feet, but only practicing the combined use of ordnance in the queue. Using shields, javelins, throwing explosives and stabbing spears are the main training for ordinary soldiers.

Only special weapons, such as archers, musketeers, and tiger squat gunners, are listed separately for training.

Seeing Liu Ze come to inspect, Boss Zhang, who was leading the training team, trotted over quickly. He is an old frontier soldier. Specifically strengthen the training of this main camp.

"Commander, we are training, please give instructions!" Mr. Zhang saluted half-familiarly with the terminology designed by Liu Ze, and then reported.

Liu Ze returned a military salute and said, "Instructor Zhang, how do you feel? Are there any shortcomings?"

"Everything else is good, but our training time is a bit short, there is only one hour a day, and there are too few armors, so nothing else matters."

Liu Ze explained: "Our army is not only for fighting, but also other cultural classes, complaints and heart-to-heart talks. This is the biggest difference between us and the old-style army."

Touching his chin, he continued, "As for the armor, it can only be captured. You have seen it in the acropolis. The armor making is too cumbersome. It's better to focus on maintenance now."

Boss Zhang murmured: "Without Jia, the official army will come to suppress it, and the battle will be too disadvantageous. Not to mention the cavalry army, it is impossible to fight."

"Then we can only use firearms. The officers and soldiers are taken to the mountains to fight. Now there are only Fran cannons and tiger squat cannons. I will find a way to build the artillery myself. Don't worry, I won't give up!"

Listening to Liu Ze's explanation, which is not an explanation, Boss Zhang was always unhappy, but he still agreed with a smile on his face. Anyway, he made up his mind to wait for the Ming army to come and slip away. As for why he stayed with Liu Ze now , just because I really can't bear to eat that meal, after all, I can't get enough to eat when I'm farming outside, let alone eat meat.

With the suona sound of assembly, the company commanders of each company shouted: "Assemble!"

Everyone quickly assembled into square formations according to company units, and those who assembled first were ordered to sit down and start to read aloud. This is a must-have item specially stipulated by Liu Ze before meals. Regardless of whether the meal is early or late, everyone needs to gather Only by reciting the program of the public meeting can we eat.

After all, ideological and political education needs to be carried out bit by bit. All the songs are transformed by Liu Ze according to the lyrics and tunes in his memory combined with reality. For example, more than a dozen songs such as "Song of Discipline" and "Unity is Steel" have become A scene of the army integrating entertainment and education.

Not only do you need to sing when you gather before eating, but you also need to sing at ordinary meetings, and you should also line up neatly and sing loudly on the way to and from exercises.

Someone rang the bell and shouted, "Dinner is served! Dinner is served!"

Each company fetches food from their respective cooking squads in order.

"Hey, today's food is sorghum rice with braised pork and mutton soup." A soldier said in surprise.

The cook who cooked the rice replied: "It's more than that. Today our company was assigned a fat pig, two sheep, and chickens. We have to work hard to make it. Three meals a day, the emperor will not eat it." Change it!"

"Isn't this taking down the county seat? Consolation and consolation, eating food every day, that is willing to die."

"Bah, bah, what are you talking about, follow our big locker, every day is like Chinese New Year!" The other soldiers in line muttered behind.

Liu Ze also lined up behind with his staff, assistants, and guards, and asked Boss Zhang, "Boss Zhang, how were you doing when you were in the frontier army? How did you eat?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I can't even pay the salary, and some have to ask their own women to do that kind of business to live. How can it compare to what we do now three times a day, three meat and three vegetarian meals, let's eat All of them are meals that even the rich and rich landlords can’t eat.”

When mentioning the salary, Liu Ze said to the assistant beside him: "Record, each soldier in the army will be given one tael of silver. This is not a military salary or a reward. It is an allowance for fighting for the people. Soldiers on rotation can go to the city to buy some money for themselves." Let the gendarmerie step up patrols in the city, and put an end to the behavior of soldiers buying and selling by force!"

"Yes, Commander, we have inspected this place too, what shall we do after dinner?"

Regarding ordnance, Liu Ze is still full of thoughts: "Let's go to the equipment department to see our weapon manufacturing work."
