Chapter 106: Special training for Shengjie Camp and formation of Xunfeng Camp

Recruiting salt workers is only the simplest and least time-consuming step in preparing a sea salt plant.

Although Liu Sheng now has nearly 3 people under his command, none of them knows how to make salt.

Therefore, when the 500 salt workers were selected, Liu Sheng had to personally train them based on the information, teaching them how to dry salt in the dry season and how to store fuel to cook salt in the rainy season.

At the same time, Liu Sheng also needs to control the recruitment, reorganization, and training of new recruits.

In addition to the 800 recruits selected and trained outside Queshan County and Liujiazhai, Liu Sheng recruited another 3000 recruits in the four major camps.

Liu Sheng originally wanted to focus on the civilian heroes from Huachu Camp and Hebian Camp, but after many selections, there were not many men in these two camps.

So in the end, among the 3000 recruits, only 400 were brave from the two original camps, and the remaining 2600 were selected from the new immigrants.

Although the civilian bravery was insufficient, it still played a role - most of them served as corps commanders and chiefs of the new recruits, and used their experience in morning training over the past few months to make the training of new recruits progress more quickly.

The recruitment, reorganization, and training of new soldiers in the standing army have formed a relatively mature process, so Liu Sheng does not have to do it himself, he just needs to control the key points.

But he had to personally participate in the construction of the Third Guards Battalion.

On the one hand, the personal guards are the troops directly under his jurisdiction, the core of his military power, and the sharp blade of the rebel army that he strives to build.

Secondly, only he knows how the Third Guards Battalion will be trained, and no one can help him do this.

Among them, the Xiaoqi camp was temporarily left aside by Liu Sheng. More than 200 of the best horses were selected from all the mules and horses, and the two sentry cavalry were allowed to practice hard on the plains at the foot of Tianmu Mountain. cut.

Incidentally, he is responsible for the message transmission between Queshan County and Tianmu Mountain.

The two places are more than 100 miles apart, and it may take the messenger more than a day to walk.But if a rider delivers a message, one person and two people can reach the destination in more than three hours. Changing horses without changing people can make a round trip in half a day.

For the era of the late Ming Dynasty, although this speed is not as fast as homing pigeons, it is more reliable than homing pigeons.

However, Liu Sheng had the idea of ​​​​rubbing the wireless telegraph machine because of this.

The principle of this thing is very simple. The main structure is a high-frequency oscillator that can emit long, medium and short-wavelength radio waves.

In later generations, due to various electromagnetic interference, wireless telegraph machines must have enough power to resist interference and transmit effective information far enough.

But in the purely natural electromagnetic environment of the seventeenth century, the only things that could cause interference to radio waves were certain extreme weather and special terrain.

Therefore, a telegraph machine of less than 10 watts can communicate throughout Asia, and even globally.

When he thought he was a patient with apocalyptic fantasy, Liu Sheng naturally considered the collapse of the original communication system in the apocalypse, so he stocked up on some telegraph components.

After dismantling some unimportant electrical and electronic equipment in the villa, he estimated that he could make about a dozen telegraph machines.

After all, he was preparing for the end of the world, not for time travel.

In the end of the world, it is enough to have a few units to maintain communication with the outside world in the early stage, and you can search for relevant parts later if needed.

Who knew he had traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty?
Having said that, even if the telegraph machine is ready, people still need to be selected and trained as telegraph operators, and a set of telegraph codes for translation will also need to be obtained.

It's not something that can be accomplished in a few days.

Closer to home.

Liu Sheng threw the Xiaoqi camp to the plains to train on his own, and he only arranged some simple and crude training programs in the Huben camp.

The Huben Battalion has currently been supplemented to 330 people, and is currently organized as a small team of 30 people.

There are one team of musketeers, three teams of pikemen, five teams of swordsmen, one team of artillery (using tiger squatting cannons), and one team of logistics troops.

Logistics soldiers are mainly military soldiers, medical soldiers and civilian personnel.

In addition to practicing basic combat skills, each team is also practicing cooperation and coordinated operations among the four types of arms.

It is mostly a simplified version of the Yuanyang Formation and can be used flexibly, with some later combat techniques incorporated into it.

The remaining Shengjie camp is Liu Sheng's main training target.

Starting from September 29, Liu Sheng's main time and energy were spent on the establishment and training of the Victory Camp.

He first selected 800 people from the standing army, fishing and hunting groups, civilian warriors and new immigrants.

Then he told these people that 500 people would be eliminated within ten days, and in the end only 300 people could join the Shengjie Camp and become Liu Sheng's personal guards.

Then special training was launched for these people.

Speaking of which, the level of military training during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was not as rough as some netizens thought in later generations.

A common saying is: one exercise every three to five days is considered the most diligent, one exercise every ten and a half months is considered average, and the most embarrassing thing is to recruit people to gather the number of people after hearing that the superiors want to inspect, and to pretend to be a temporary drill.

In fact, the drill and training of the feudal army were discussed separately.

Drill refers to huidiao, which mainly refers to the gathering of the entire battalion of soldiers and horses to practice battle formations.

Liancai refers to daily training - according to the rules, ancient soldiers had to complete certain training tasks in the camp every day, which meant taking three days of rest every day.

Of course, by the end of the dynasty, the army was corrupted, and the soldiers did not receive sufficient food and pay, and were not even fed enough. They were also sent to do private work by the generals, and the training in training was gone.

Even if I know how to do it, it is just to cope with the inspection from above.

For example, when Wang Yingtai recruited soldiers, only the servants could train them every day, and the soldiers could only train every other day.

The auxiliary soldiers train every ten days and are working all the time.

In the Shengjie Battalion established by Liu Sheng, the soldiers were paid three liang per month, and they could eat three meals a day. They also had meat for every meal - mainly fish, and occasionally turkey, hare, wolf and other animal meat.

Liu Sheng also knows how to provide them with balanced nutrition.

Under these conditions, the training Liu Sheng arranged for the 800 Shengjie Camp reserve soldiers was not devilish, but it was enough to shock other armies at this time.

For example, every day they would carry out an armed cross-country trip of ten miles (five kilometers) in the Tianmu Mountains, swim five miles in the Xinluo River, and swim one mile in a shallow river.Every night, 50 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 200 horse stance punches are trained.

There will also be emergency gatherings at night from time to time.

At the same time, during the day, there will be training on skills such as bare-handed combat, sword and shield attack, dagger assassination, and crossbow shooting.

The most important skill is to target the Big Water Bottle Village and conduct stealth, climbing and night attack training.

Zhang Guying was asked to command the standing army and civilian bravery of Dashui Pingzhai to conduct confrontation drills with them.

Not only is the training intensity high, it is also easy to get injured during training.

This kind of training method is cruel to these soldiers, who are mostly farmers!
A few days after the special training started, Shi Jincai, the commander of the Shengjie Battalion, couldn't stand it anymore - he and He Lianyue were both asked by Liu Sheng to train with the soldiers.

After training that day, he went to Liu Sheng and said: "Chief, this training is too harsh. Soldiers are injured and quit every day. There are even some soldiers who can't stand it and want to quit voluntarily."

Liu Sheng said coldly: "Those who want to quit, let them quit. The Shengjie camp will not keep people who can't bear the hardship!"

Shi Jincai was frightened by Liu Sheng's tone and did not dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly withdrew from the tent.

He Lianyue saw him outside and said with a smile: "Commander, is it like I said, the leader directly lets those who want to retreat roll the ball?"

Shi Jincai said angrily: "Not everyone is like you, who has practiced martial arts and can withstand such training."

Shi Jincai was actually afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it.

He was originally just an ordinary farmer, but he had some eyes and courage. The most important thing was good luck. He met Liu Sheng early in the morning and got to where he is today.

He was not proud. Instead, he knew very well that he was lucky enough to be in command of the Shengjie Battalion.

Therefore, he was afraid that he would fail to perform well in this special training and be replaced by Liu Sheng.

Now that Liu Sheng was unwilling to change his mind and he didn't want to lose his position, he could only practice hard.

On the other side, after Shi Jincai left, Liu Sheng called General Ma Jinshui over.

"See leader."

Liu Sheng nodded slightly and said: "Jinshui, with this expansion of the army, almost all the old people who followed me in the former pro-army have been promoted, but you are the only one who has not. Do you have any complaints in your heart?"

Ma Jinshui was startled when he heard this and said hurriedly: "I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare or don't?"

Ma Jinshui was so anxious that he knelt down and said: "If it weren't for the leader, I'm afraid I would still be hanging around in the Walled City now, or even starve to death. How could I have any complaints against the leader?

I know what level I am, and being able to be a leader's bodyguard is already a blessing I gained in my previous life. "

"Look how scared you are." Liu Sheng smiled and helped Ma Jinshui up, patted the dust on his body, and said: "Don't underestimate yourself, at least in my opinion, your future achievements will definitely be more than just a relative." Chief Wei."

Then Liu Sheng changed his words, "I will take you to conduct special training for these Shengjie Camp reserve soldiers and let you watch. What have you seen in the past few days?"

Ma Jinshui lowered his head and said: "Although the leader's training method is a bit harsh, it is a wonderful way to select good soldiers. You will definitely be able to train a magic soldier."

Liu Sheng was quite pleased with what he heard, but he still said: "Don't flatter me, say something useful."

"This... subordinate can't see anything else."

Liu Shengdao: “With so many training items every day, everyone’s performance in training is different.

Some people did not perform up to standard and were directly eliminated; some people were accidentally injured and were forced to be eliminated; and some people could not stand the pain of fatigue and quit voluntarily.

Does that mean that all those eliminated are unqualified and useless? "

Ma Jinshui was a smart man after all, and thought about it: "What the leader means is that although some soldiers cannot be selected into the Victory Camp, they have other uses?"

"Not bad." Liu Sheng nodded, "Jinshui, I hope that in the coming days, you can carefully observe every reserve soldier, and at the end of the special training, select 50 people from them regardless of whether they have been eliminated.

Then select 50 people from each camp who are good at disguise and acting, and let them voluntarily join your team.

These 100 people will be led and trained by you, and I will teach you some things when I have free time. "

"What does the leader want us to do?" Ma Jinshui was nervous but also a little excited.

Only then did he realize that Liu Sheng had deliberately ignored him when he expanded his army.

Not only was he prepared to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but he also used the past few days to test his character.

Now it seems that he can barely get by with Liu Sheng.

He felt that Liu Sheng would definitely give him a special task next.

Sure enough, Liu Sheng said: "After this expansion, our rebel army will have more than [-] troops, ready to attack Ruyang and other cities after the autumn harvest.

In such a battle, if the rebels had relevant information about the Ming army defending the city and the defenses within the city, the war would be much easier.

The same goes for attacking other cities and enemies in the future. Intelligence should be used as a support.

Therefore, I hope you will bring out a team of spies who can go deep behind enemy lines and obtain important intelligence such as military intelligence.

This team will be the fourth battalion of the Guards, named 'Xunfeng Battalion' - in order to obtain military information, it is as pervasive and omnipresent as the wind! "

　【First Update】

　　I see some book friends enthusiastically offering suggestions, and I will accept them if they are suitable. However, it is impossible to write everything in a novel, and it must be arranged at a suitable time and plot.

　　The novel has less than 30 words, some plots are not urgent, and we all have what we should have.

　　Thank you everyone for your subscription and support. I have already ordered 600, but it is unstable. I will try to stabilize it above 600 in the next few days and update more.
