Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 78 Formation and Training ([-])

The next day, all the newly recruited flag troops in Wuzhaibao had arrived, and Huang Laifu began to organize the team.

The Wuzhai Fort barracks, compared with the racetrack, was filled with black banner troops.Everyone stood quietly, waiting for their own arrangements.Sun Xiaobao and Han Hu, governors of Xinshe, stood aside, eyeing everyone, hoping to catch a few examples, so that the adults of Qianhu could pay attention to their own abilities.

On the field, Huang Laifu was dressed in armor, and a group of servants stood behind him.He Ruzhen and the ten hundred households also all arrived, and those who had armor on their bodies also put on it.Now the original old military officers and oil families have all retired, replaced by their sons, or young people in the family, all of whom are young and strong.

The ten households are: Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu, Li Feng, Li Jian, Han Zongren, Su Dongan, Li Wenxun, Ma Shouzong, Xu You, and Wang Shou.Although Huang Laifu was younger than them all, no one dared to neglect Huang Laifu.

Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu and Huang Laifu were the closest, and they led the servants of the Huang family, so of course they were the first to start selecting subordinates.According to Qi Jiguang's military training method, the general banner is selected by the hundred households themselves, and the small banners are selected by the bannermen in the small banners.

For the 1120 flag troops in Wuzhai Fort, except for the 300 old flag troops selected from the original Wuzhai Fort, the others are all newly recruited flag troops.These 300 old banner soldiers, of course, every hundred households want them, but for the sake of fairness, and in order to bring out the new army as soon as possible, Huang Laifu dispersed the 300 old banner soldiers to each hundred households, and each hundred households There will be 20 to 30 old flag troops.

According to the number plates in the army book, Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu each selected 120 banner troops, and they each selected two general banners.Jiang Dazhong established the general banner of Ding Chaoyong and Li Yunyun.Yang Xiaolu appointed Liu Jixian and Zhang Wenxian as the general banner.All four of them were old bannermen from Wuzhaibao. They used to be small banners, but now they are promoted to general banners.

Then every ten people is a banner, let the flag soldiers choose one person for the small flag, one after another, the flag soldiers all selected the small flags of their own flags, most of them were the old flag soldiers from Wuzhaibao.

Every time a small flag is ordered, one flag and one flagpole will be given to the flag squadron, which will be kept by the small flag.The small flag also has a wooden waist card on one side, and on the back of the waist card, the names of everyone in the flag are recorded.As Xiaoqi, you must always know the names of your ten subordinates, who is poor and who is rich, who is strong and who is weak, and who is in which position in the queue.With one call, one is not left behind.At the first sight, you can know the names one by one.

Every five small flags is a general flag, and one side of the flag is given to the back, and one flag gun is kept by the general flag.The general flag has a waist badge, which contains the names of the people in the general flag and several important military laws.As the general banner, you must also know the names of each of your 50 subordinates and the specific situation of each individual.

After the formation of a hundred households is completed, they step aside, not to hinder the formation of others, and then distribute weapons according to each individual's situation.

When Qi Jiguang trained troops in Jizhen, he divided the army into two types: the firearms team and the killer team.The firearms configuration rate in the firearms team is high. Among the 12 people in a team, there are 10 bird gunners.Poor Huang Laifu, of course, cannot be compared with the rich and powerful Grandpa Qi. So far, there are only more than 200 bird guns in the entire Wuzhai Fort Qianhusuo.There is no need to think about the firearms team, we can only mix weapons according to Qi Jiguang's early method.

Every small banner, every ten banners in the army.

The small flag stands at the front, equipped with a colored flag, a long flagpole, a joint bow, two strings, thirty large arrows, a pair of double inserts, a sharp waist knife, and a coconut ladle.Theoretically, the small flag should have a helmet and a pair of armor.However, in Wuzhaibao's current army, only a few hundred households have iron armor. If they want to have armor, it depends on the progress of Liu Zongqi's military establishment.

In addition to the small flag, choose two strong and clever flag soldiers as bird gunners.The equipment consists of a two-handed long knife, a bird gun, a stick, a tin turtle, a gun case, a lead bag, thirty medicine tubes, three hundred leads, five matchlocks, and a coconut ladle. .These two blunderbuss soldiers, in addition to shooting blunderbusses, usually also serve as long-sword troops. These two men stood behind the small flag, in the second and third positions, one on the left and one on the right.

The next step is to choose two flexible and fast men as the rattan players and the long players. Each of them is equipped with a rattan card or a long card.A sharp waist knife, a coconut ladle, and six water-bright fisting stones.Standing in the fourth and fifth positions respectively.

The next step is to choose two very strong bannermen to act as wolf traps, each equipped with a wolf trap and a coconut ladle.Standing in the sixth and seventh positions respectively.

Next, there are 2 spearmen, equipped with a long spear, a joint bow, two strings, thirty large arrows, and a pair of double inserts.

Finally, there is a short soldier, equipped with a sharp waist knife and a coconut ladle.

Every five small flags are compiled into a general flag. The equipment of the general flag is one side of the flag on the back, one flag gun pole, one joint bow, two strings, thirty large arrows, one pair of double inserts, one sharp waist knife, coconut One scoop.Like the small flags, theoretically the general flag should have a helmet and a pair of armor, but Wuzhai Fort lacks armor now, so if some general flags have leather armor, they can only put on the leather armor first.

※※※

In this way, a formation of one hundred households was equipped, and from then on, every banner soldier's actions stopped and stopped according to the order of the queue in the banner, and no confusion was allowed. If one person was replaced, he would be punished.The sergeant changed positions and took charge of Xiaoqi.The small flag has changed positions, and he is in charge of the general flag, so the position must be strict.

One after another, ten hundreds of households were formed and equipped.In the end, every hundred households had to make letters according to the waist badges of the banner troops under their subordinates, and seal two books, keep one for themselves, and send the other to Huang Laifu, a thousand households.Huang Laifu also put away these books, and took the key parts, and drew a copy to carry with him so that he could check it at any time.

The ten hundred households in Wuzhaibao are of course all troops.

For the time being, the cavalry team is filled with Huang Laifu's 40 servants. 40 people, weaving into 4 small banners, ten people per banner.Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu each led 20 people.

In terms of household equipment, each person is equipped with a brass-handled blunderbuss, a sharp waist knife, a long spear, a joint bow, two bow strings, and thirty large arrows.In addition, a good war horse should be matched. Each horse has a pair of saddle poles, a pair of bridles, two girdles, a roll belly, a pair of wooden trippers, two tripping ropes, and a horse stump.There is also a hay hail for each small flag.

The current establishment of Wuzhai Fort is infantry and cavalry. As for chariot soldiers and luggage soldiers, they are not within the scope of Huang Laifu's consideration for the time being.In addition, there are some miscellaneous currents in the Wuzhaibao Banner Army.

For example, in every hundred households, there is one trumpeter, one flute, two drummers, one gong player, and one cymbal thrower.Beside Huang Laifu, there were seven drummers, two doctors, one flag player, two gunners, two door flags, two golden drum flags, two corner flags, two recognition flags, two patrol flags, ten night-timers, and one who could read and write. First name, five in military prison.

After it was compiled, the formation equipment of the entire Wuzhaibao Banner Army was the same as that of the armies of the Ming Dynasty at that time.The only difference is that there is an additional propaganda team in the Wuzhaibao Banner Army, and most of the propaganda teams are girls from Wuzhaibao military households.

And after forming and equipping the banner armies of Wuzhai Fort, this day will pass.

Zhang Dasan was assigned to the hundred households where Jiang Dazhong lived. Because of his great strength and strong body, he was honored to be a wolf-whip hand, and he was assigned a wolf-whip and a coconut ladle.

After receiving the wolf whisk, Zhang Dasan was very excited. His wolf whisk was about 5 meters long, heavy in shape, with an iron gun head on the top, and several layers of blade-shaped dense branches on both sides. The thorns were ironed with fire. However, tung oil was poured into it.It looks very majestic, and it is conceivable that when I charge forward, I will be invincible.

There are ten people in the banner he is in, and the small banner is called Zhou Dajin. He is 32 years old this year, an old banner soldier in Wuzhaibao, and a simple and honest middle-aged man.After his small flag formed a team, Zhou Dajin let everyone in the small flag get to know each other. According to Qi Jiguang's military training method, this is necessary, and Huang Laifu strongly agrees with it.These ten people will be your life and death brothers in the future, sharing weal and woe.Mutual familiarity is obviously necessary.

Zhang Dasan found that, except for Zhou Dajin who was inside Wuzhai Fort, the other eight banner troops, like himself, all came from various civilian forts outside Wuzhai Fort. Endless words.On the racetrack, shortly after forming a team and receiving their respective weapons, they became as familiar as if they had known each other for many years.

After all the formations were equipped, it was already afternoon, and it was obviously impossible to train today.Each hundred households led their banner troops to the barracks assigned to them to familiarize themselves with rest.

The original Wuzhai Fort barracks were dilapidated and looked like they were about to collapse, but after Huang Laifu took over the position of Thousand Households, he carried out large-scale repairs to the barracks, and now it looks like a brand new one.There are ten rows of barracks in the Wuzhaibao barracks. Basically, in each row of barracks, there is a banner army of one hundred households living.And there are ten rooms in a row of barracks, and in one room, there are 10 people living in a small flag.

Each row of barracks has a public toilet. Sanitation in the military camp is very important. Of course, Huang Laifu attaches great importance to it. Every row of barracks has a public toilet.Drainage ditches were also dug between the camps.In addition, there is a field next to each barracks, which is convenient for the sergeants to entertain in their leisure time.

In addition, the barracks in each small flag are heated kang huts. In winter, the hot kang burns up and is as warm as spring, which is enough for the soldiers of Wuzhaibao to survive the cold winter.

Zhang Dasan entered his barracks together with several other bannermen, looking at the place in front of him where he would live for a long time, everyone showed curiosity on their faces.It can be clearly seen that the house has been newly repaired. On one side is a Datong shop, and on the other side are some wardrobes, where you can store your own clothes.There is also a wooden shelf for placing wash towels and face plates.On the other side, there is a weapon rack, where the weapons of each person in the flag are placed.

Everyone put down their quilts, face plates, rice plates, etc. on the bunks one after another. These are all newly distributed to everyone just now, and they are all brand new things.Xiaoqi Zhou Dajin put down his luggage, caressed the new quilt, and sighed to everyone: "You are so lucky to have met Mr. Huang. How can there be such a comfortable house like ours before? How can there be so many new things?" ? You have to practice hard in the future, or if you fall, my old Zhou’s face will also be dull, and I will be implicated.”

Everyone nodded vigorously, and respectfully asked Zhou Dajin some things that should be paid attention to in the future. Zhou Dajin hummed in satisfaction, and told everyone that they were all things that should be paid attention to in the barracks. Then he took out another piece of paper, He said to everyone: "This is some barracks regulations made by your lord a few days ago. You all have a look, and you must keep every point in your heart in the future. Otherwise, if one person makes a mistake, our entire small flag will be punished."

Zhang Dasan said: "Master Xiaoqi, we didn't make mistakes, what should we do? How about you read it to us?"

Everyone nodded, Zhou Dajin coughed, a little embarrassed, and said: "Your old Zhou, I don't make mistakes, so how about it, tomorrow I will find the literacy teacher next to Mr. Baihu to read it for us, and everyone will know..."

Just as he was talking about this, he suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet blowing outside, Zhou Dajin said excitedly: "Okay, it's time for dinner, everyone take your own plate, and people line up to go over."

In the Wuzhaibao barracks, each row of hundreds of barracks has a large dining room. Next to the dining room is a dining place named "Restaurant" by Mr. Huang Laifu. The dining room is quite large, and there are rows of tables and chairs inside. It can easily accommodate more than 100 people to eat at the same time.At this time, the dining room was full of people, and the flag soldiers of each new formation passed in front of some cooks in order of their own small flags.However, it is obvious that the flag soldiers just formed their formation today, and there is no discipline yet. Although they have followed suit, and the old flag soldiers and small flags in the flag are in charge, most of them still look disheveled.

On the table in front of the cook, there are buckets of large pieces of meat, rice, noodle soup, and large buckets of vegetables and radishes, together with the egg tofu soup next to it, it looks like it is full of oil, full of oil and water, very tempting.The scent kept coming, except for some old bannermen in Wuzhaibao, all the new bannermen were red-eyed and swallowed.When they were at home, they often didn't even have enough to eat. Except for the New Year and holidays, when had they ever eaten meat?

It was finally my turn, and everyone hurriedly handed over their two rice plates. They could choose whether they wanted to eat or eat noodles. There is a large plate of egg tofu soup on a rice plate.

Zhang Dasan and the other 8 partners, like a [-]-meter sprint, found a table and sat down. After sitting down, everyone couldn't wait to eat, and no one had time to talk.Of course, they were not the only ones in this situation. Suddenly, the entire restaurant was immersed in a strange sound.

Zhang Dasan stuffed his mouth with something, and said vaguely, "It's delicious. He looked up at his friends and saw that they all had their mouths full. He just nodded desperately, only Zhou Dajin took his time. , looked at the appearance of everyone, smiled heartily, and said: "Don't be so anxious, this meal will be eaten by you in the future, hehehe."

Of course, if the food in the food plate of each sergeant is not enough, he is free to add food to the bucket, but it must be eaten clean and waste is not allowed.Zhang Dasan found that it was the third time he went to refill the meal, and he felt a little embarrassed when he saw the eyes of the cooks.But what comforted him was that he was definitely not the only one who added food.

Finally, when everyone was full, everyone touched their round bellies and sighed comfortably. How could such a day have been thought of before?This army deserves it.

Zhang Dasan also exhaled, and said, "It's really comfortable."

But, will their lives be really comfortable in the future?
