Chapter 77: Strange Training
Liangzhou is an important military town, and since they want to stay here, the guards of the Chu Wangfu will naturally have to train well. With the wind of opening the mansion and building teeth, the number of guards can also be expanded to 3,000 people, but Li Kuan is not in a hurry to expand, and he will train the current 1,000 people first.
"One, two, one! One, two, one! ”
Outside Liangzhou City, Li Kuan specially enclosed a piece of land casually as a training base for the palace guards.
More than a thousand guards, one counts as one, and all of them are thrown in the barracks for training, even if it is a technical unit to operate a hot air balloon, they will also be trained first.
Although Li Kuan has a master-level bonus in the art of war, he actually doesn't know much about military training.
But I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run.
High school, college, but military training twice, especially college military training, directly give you a whole month, half of which is really training in the barracks.
Therefore, I still know some of the most basic things for military training.
In large-scale operations, the combat effectiveness of individuals is actually not so prominent, and at this time, it is more important to enforce orders and prohibitions, coordinate operations, and give full play to the strength of the group.
The things of military training in later generations, whether it is standing in a military posture, turning in all directions, or folding a quilt with tofu blocks, are all to exercise the obedience, discipline and coordination of the team.
Therefore, in the training of the guards of the Chu Palace, Li Kuan also directly copied the requirements of the military training of later generations, first let these illiterate people understand the front and back, and figure out what is called order and prohibition.
It's like standing in a military posture, it seems very simple, but if you really stand motionless for an hour, it's really not easy, let alone a few hours.
Li Kuan's "child's play" practice, Xue Li and Xi Junmai both expressed their opposition, but the opposition was invalid.
"Attention, keep your feet straight, your lower abdomen slightly tucked up, and your eyes looking ahead." Li Kuan took a horse whip and personally trained Xue Li and the others, "Zhu Fufu, where are your eyes looking?" Look ahead, don't look around. ”
Although there were not many more than 1,000 people, they were divided into five battalions, each battalion had five teams, and each team had five teams.
To train so many people, it is natural to need a group of instructors, and Xue Li, Xi Junmai, and Wang Xuanwu were naturally arrested by Li Kuan and trained alone, and then they went to train the troops.
Fortunately, these people are dragons among people, although they don't understand Li Kuan's training methods, they are very quick to master.
"For the next three months, I will go up every day and stand in a military posture for half an hour, and then start other training, and the same will be done in the afternoon. You may now think that these requests of this king are strange, and I will not be verbose with you. One month, as long as you train for a month according to my request, if you still think that the king's approach is strange, then train according to your own methods, and the king will no longer interfere. ”
Twisted melons are not sweet.
Although Xue Li and the others will definitely carry out their orders in the end, but whether they understand or not, the final effect will definitely be very different, and Li Kuan doesn't want them to resist from the beginning.
As for a month later......
Hehe!
The intensity of military training in later generations is not low, and when reporting the performance, it looks very good.
It's like the current army, which is simply the feeling of a bunch of stragglers.
Therefore, after such a high-intensity special training for a month, if it has not come out yet, Li Kuan will feel that he can give up directly.
Wash and sleep!
Anyway, in his lifetime, Datang will not perish, and he will be an idle prince.
"Lord Wang, a month? You said it yourself. Xue Li is the one who knows how to train soldiers, and because of this, he is also the most resistant to Li Kuan's new training methods.
"Although this king can't talk about anything, what he says is definitely a word."
With Li Kuan's commitment, Xue Li's training enthusiasm has obviously increased.
Three days later, Li Kuan no longer braved the cold to train on the school field, but threw out all the tasks.
……
Although the winter of the fifth year of Zhenguan came a little later, the temperature drop was very powerful, and the north of Liangzhou was the territory of Xue Yantuo, and next to Liangzhou were some small tribes.
For these small tribes, every winter is a catastrophe, and it is extremely difficult.
"Daddy, can this wool really be exchanged for an iron pot? This year's winter was particularly cold, and the wool was sheared, and some of the thin lambs could not survive this winter. ”
In the middle of an open meadow, a large dilapidated tent stood abruptly in the middle, and it was clear that a family of herders lived here.
The grassland is very large, under normal circumstances, a radius of several kilometers, often there are only one or two herdsmen, sometimes you walk more than ten miles, and you may not be able to touch a single family.
"I went to the tribal chieftain's station a few days ago to see that there were Tang people who came to buy these wool, and a pound of wool can be exchanged for a penny. With such a few large bundles of wool, it shouldn't be a big problem to change to an iron pot. ”
The man who spoke could not tell his age at a glance, and his face was full of traces left by the wind and sand, but with his yellowish hair and high raised nose, it could still be seen that this was a person of Turkic ancestry.
According to later research, these people are more like Central Asians, belonging to a race between the yellow race and the white race.
"As for the emaciated lamb, if it doesn't survive, it happens to be sold with the meat. Anyway, if the wool can be sold for money, even if there are less than 30% of cattle and sheep next year, life will not be worse. ”
"Daddy, Daddy. Uncle Mountbatten is here, Uncle Mountbatten is here to collect wool! Before the man finished chatting with his mother-in-law, he saw his own half-grown son rushing over on a horse.
"Dog, is Mountbatten really here? Did he really come to buy wool? Great, really good! This winter we don't have to worry about running out of pots to boil water. ”
After a while, several horses came running, one of whom must have been what they called Mountbatten, "Aska, have you collected all your wool?" How many are there? ”
Everyone communicates on the grassland, and they don't like to beat around the bush, so the people who come also go straight to the point.
"Mountbatten, it's all as you said the tribal chief that day. There are three bundles in total, and it is estimated that there are seven or eight hundred catties. ”
"Seven or eight hundred pounds? So much? Your family looks like it's going to be developed! Mountbatten was slightly stunned.
Ordinary herdsmen have hundreds of cattle and sheep at home, and unless they shear all the wool, they will not be able to get out hundreds of catties of wool.
Seven or eight hundred catties is even rarer.
"That day I saw a few sheaves of wool in exchange for a brand new iron pot, so when I came back I immediately sheared all the lambs. How? Isn't it too much, you don't want so much? Aska looked at Mountbatten a little nervously.
"Haha~ What are you kidding! I said, how much to have, how not so much. Mountbatten laughed heartily and said: "I think you have also heard, I am now working for the big people in Liangzhou City, as long as you have wool, I will buy as much as I want." ”
Askar breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'm still worried that you don't want it." ”
"In this way, you send this wool to the tribal station, where my owner's caravan transports the wool directly, and you can directly exchange the wool for an iron pot there, and I will give you a pound of salt."
Mountbatten only brought a few people with him, so naturally it was impossible to take away all the herdsmen's wool, and more often, he played a role in coordination and communication, constantly wandering around the grassland.
