Song Dynasty

Chapter 69: Recruit Season ([-])
According to the drill code promulgated by Wang Shen: when you come back and wait, you still applaud once.After collecting woodcutters and soldiers, blow and beat to close the gate of the camp.Set off a stick of fire, raise the fire in the camp, pass the gong to disarm the armor, and sometimes follow the actual situation.After dinner, report to the camp, the army raised the order to change, and blew a gong, and everyone blew their golden hair to close the team.

It means that after the troops have been trained and disbanded, they should blow a signal first, close the gate of the camp, and the sentries will be on duty at the gate.From this time on, no one is allowed to leave camp.

Then, a fire was lit first in the large tent of the Chinese army, and each battalion could only raise the fire when they saw the signal. There were strict regulations on where to put a candle in each room.

After the gongs and drums are over, disarm and eat.

After dinner, blow the 哱啦, which is the conch number. Hearing the conch number, the day's work is finally done, and you can wash your feet and go to bed.

The first day of training is always the most painful, not only the recruits, even the old man Gu Lie couldn't stand it.It was a cold day, and the clothes on his body were wet and dry, with a strong sweaty smell.

It's not that he didn't receive training when he was in the Western Army, and it's not that he didn't imagine how majestic he would be if he became a general of the army one day.Although he is still a leader now, the men and horses at hand are equal to the first battalion of other Song armies, so he has the meaning of leading the army.

However, before he had had enough of his addiction, he was tossed into a rage by the arduous training.

He really didn't understand what Wang Shen was doing with these tricks: "Just by standing still, turning left, turning right, and walking in unison, can you win a battle? This battle to kill the enemy depends on martial arts and the courage of soldiers." , will never be understood.”

After changing into clean clothes, the more Gu Lie thought about it, the more he couldn't figure it out, so he ran to Wang Shen's room and shouted, "How did you train our Western Army before?"

Chen Da was also with Wang Shen, reporting something.Hearing Gu Lie's words, he raised his head, glanced at him vigilantly, and said coldly: "Western Army, Western Army, what Western Army, we are in the Sizhou Camp now, you are the head of the general, I want to doubt you Stand. What General Wang says, you just carry it out. Western Army, hehe..." He sneered: "If your Western Army's tactics are effective, why are you being killed by the Jurchen Tartars to bleed like a river?"

"You... thief bird, what did you say?" Gu Lie's eyes were red with these words, and he put his hand on the handle of the knife: "Say one more thing!"

Chen Da was not afraid: "Gu Lie, what are you going to do, rebel?"

Gu Lie scolded: "What the hell are you? Where were you when Lao Tzu and General Wang fought bloody battles? Who in this army was killed by the general with a knife and a gun? Out of the General Boss, you look like your second child, who are you bluffing?"

"Okay." Wang Shen shouted: "The sky is big and the earth is big, and the military law is the greatest. Chen Da is a military judge, and his words are mine."

After that, he softened his tone again; "Gu Dutou, you are right, just by standing still, turning left, turning right, and walking in unison, you can't kill the enemy by walking alone, and To rectify the internal affairs, no matter how well the quilt is folded, it is impossible to kill the Tartars with that thing. However, the reason why I do this is the obedience of the soldiers and their ability to execute. It is the bounden duty for soldiers to obey orders Only when orders and orders are banned can we win battles. It doesn’t matter if you understand it or not, but the order is issued and executed. Gu Dutou, I can guarantee that in a month, after a month, I will practice a team that is not lost to the West. An elite army."

"Well, since the general said so, I'll just carry it out. I hope you don't let your subordinates down and the soldiers down. People die in war, so you can't joke about it."

Wang Shen: "Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of life and death, more than 1000 brothers Paoze have enlisted me as generals, I will naturally protect them on the battlefield and let them get the glory they deserve, let's go down!"

After Gu Lie went through the battle in Pingyuan Town, he admired Wang Shen's ability so much that he threw himself into the ground, so he didn't talk nonsense and went out.

When he left, Wang Shen looked at the candlelight on the table and stopped talking.

In fact, he didn't know the bottom line.

The method of manipulating troops developed today, in addition to using later generations of PLA recruit training methods, also borrowed from Ming Dynasty military god Qi Jiguang's "Records of Military Training". As for the effect, no one can guarantee it.

At the most terrible time, the recruit company liberated by later generations trained for three months, but he only had one month.

The current Jinbing lacks boats to cross the river, so even though the vanguard has reached Jiangpu, there is still no way to fly over with wings.According to real historical records, it took a month later for Wushu to transport the troops to the south bank with difficulty, defeat the main force of the left-behind division, and occupy Jiankang.

Time is running out, can I train a qualified army that can go to the battlefield?
The Jurchens are not Li Yu's troop of bandits, they are not so easy to deal with.

One mistake, these more than 1000 lives will be accompanied, this is the only capital I have on hand!

Hey, what do I want to do so much, just do it.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Da beside him said in a low voice, "General, it's time to patrol the battalion now, and the subordinates will go down."

Wang Shen waved his hand: "Go, go!" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he remembered something again, and said: "You should pay close attention to military discipline and internal affairs. No matter who commits the crime, you must be merciless, even if you are critical .You want to be a catfish, stir up the water, keep the other fish in high spirits and feel nervous at all times. Anyway, in a word, you can’t make everyone too comfortable. Other officers can’t do that.”

That's right, someone still needs to be a villain! For an upright guy like Gu Lie and a scholar like Lu Can, I'm afraid it won't work for them to trouble the soldiers.

Chen Da knew exactly what role he was supposed to play, and placed his position very well: "Subordinates understand that raising soldiers is like raising dogs. You have to keep them moving all the time, and they won't cause trouble when they are exhausted. If you are free , Scratching the skin, making troubles for no reason, once the military discipline is corrupted, it can no longer be restrained."

Wang Shen neither nodded nor echoed, just waved his hand to let him go down.

The leader of the first army is just a red face, and the villain needs someone else to be him.

*****************************************************
Indeed, as Chen Da said, the soldiers were really exhausted, even if they wanted to make trouble, they had no energy left.

In a barracks, the soldiers have been tossed for a day, and they were fine before.After eating dinner and washing their feet, tiredness hit like a tide. As soon as many people fell on the bed, they snored loudly before they even had time to cover them with quilts.

The same was true for Wu Xianxian. He was sitting on a stool soaking his feet, and he stared at him for some reason. It wasn't until he was patted awake that he realized that the water in the tub had cooled down.

It was unforgivable to be disturbed and doze off. He looked around with wide red eyes, but there was something strange in front of him: what place is this, and who am I?

This is a small adobe house, the roof above the head is covered with thatch, and when the strong wind blows, there is a sound of rattling and turning.There were long gaps in the walls, freshly plastered with wet mud, which filled the room with a foul smell of water and mustiness.

What is even more unpleasant is the smell of sweat on the body and the sour and salty smell of the feet.

However, there were three rows of beds neatly laid out in the room, and eighteen people were lying there.

In addition, a wooden wrench was placed on the ground of the north wall, and six iron armors were placed on the wrench.Leaning on each armor was a long axe, a knife, and a bone, shining coldly in the night light.

"What are you doing?" Wu Xianxian turned his head with a huff, and looked over fiercely.Being disturbed to doze off is unforgivable.

But behind him, a tall man in his twenties smiled embarrassedly and honestly: "Brother Ang, have you washed your feet well, can you give me the basin."

At this time, the memory came back, and Wu Xianxian remembered that he was now a sergeant of the Beiwei Sergeant Army in the Sizhou Camp, and the other five people in the room were his companions. The young man who woke him up was called Wu Tuo. It seems to be a farm boy from Huaixi Shouchun.

Really tired and confused, that damn officer, isn't this tossing people?
According to the regulations of the military, the morale dormitory of the Sizhou camp accommodates 20 people and has four wooden basins.After the training session, hot water had been boiled in the kitchen in advance, and the soldiers in each barracks would take wooden basins in order to bring water and come back to wash their feet.After a day of tossing, what could be more enjoyable than soaking your feet in hot water?

There are twenty people in a room, and there are only four wooden basins. It takes a lot of work to make one round.Looking at the sky outside, it was already very dark, and all the houses were lit up, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

Wu Tuo looked at Wu Xianxian with fierce eyes, this honest man was a little frightened, his face blushed, and he said: "Brother Wu, you should hurry up, I haven't..."

"Nothing, huh?"

"I, I, I, I haven't washed my feet yet... Hurry up." Wu Tuo was greatly embarrassed, and his voice dropped.

According to the rules issued by the kitchen earlier, hot water is only provided for one hour, and there will be no waiting when it is out of date.Moreover, it seemed that it was time to turn off the lights. Wu Xianxian spent too much time washing his feet just now, and if he was delayed, Wu Tuo would have no hot water.

"Hey, I can't see that you are still a fastidious person, and you love to be clean. Zhiniang thief, what are you, you used to face the loess and back to the sky in your hometown, digging in the field, a farmer ruffian, and pretending to be a decent person Already?" Wu Xianxian was tired and angry again.And bullying Wu Tuo is a responsible person, so he couldn't help scolding.

He lifted his foot and kicked him: "If you don't soak your feet, you will die, get out!"

After eating this kick, Wu Tuo turned pale with fright, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "No more soaking, I'm going to sleep now, Brother Ang, it's my fault for disturbing you, so don't take it to heart."

"Hold on."

"Brother Wu, what else do you need?"

"Pour me the water." Wu Xianxian jumped onto his bunk, covered himself with the quilt, and said lazily.

"This... this... the officer said, do your own thing."

"I told you to pour water, but it gave birth to so much water. Is it against you?" Wu Xianxian stared.

"But, this... is what the officer said... All right, Brother Ang, go to sleep, I'll pour water."

"Honey, you're sensible." Wu Xianxian giggled and waved his hand impatiently.

Just when Wu Tuo walked to the door of the dormitory with the wooden basin, he saw a person rushing outside and shouted: "Everyone listen, stand at attention!"

The person who came was the military judge Chen Da.

The sound was so loud and so familiar.Throughout the day, his angry yells have been echoing on the playground, and it can be said that it has been imprinted in everyone's bones, even in sleep.
