Chapter 9 Yunmeng Mineral Salt

In April of the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, it had been two months since Ning Yu came to Zhuangzi, and in these two months, not only the two hundred teenagers had been reborn, but even this Yunmeng Villa was no longer recognizable.

Today's Yunmeng Villa is not so much a mountain villa, but rather a military camp, there will be eagle battalion students standing guard every day outside the gate, heavily guarded, after entering the gate, there is a vast flat land inside, this flat land has been leveled, and now the students are training on the flat ground every day.

Ning Zhongyuan already knew about the existence of this young eagle battalion, although he had not come in person, but he attached great importance to it, and personally appointed six military masters to help Ning Yu for training, and Ning Yu also combined the military training methods of later generations, coupled with reward and punishment measures and the battalion style committee system, so that the entire young eagle battalion was completely new.

Just when the study and training was in full swing, Ning Yu also began to take the next step, that is, to take the trainees out for training.

"Everyone obeys the order, today's order is very simple, thirty miles of cross-country training, everyone must complete it within two hours, now it is the hour, and the target location is limited to the beginning of noon. The first team to arrive, add dinner today! There is fish and meat! ”

"Yes!" The students in the audience shouted in unison, their eyes full of fanaticism.

At this time, the young soldiers in the audience held their heads high, carrying a short-handled wooden gun on their backs, the length of this wooden gun was slightly longer than the rifles of later generations, and a bayonet made of thick iron was fixed in front, which was Ning Yu imitated the pattern drawn by the three-edged military thorns of later generations, and let people go back to Ning's house to build and send over, a total of 250.

Due to the brittle material of the crude iron material of this era and the lack of toughness, ordinary hand knives are used to thicken the knife body to increase the strength of the knife body, but in this way, cutting slightly harder things will become dull, so the Qing army in this era used hand knives not so much to cut people, but to see people.

Therefore, in this case, the triangular military thorn becomes a better choice, it has a three-sided knife, the only effect is to stab, and it is very simple to make. As for the option of using refined iron and steel, it was denied by Ning Yu from the beginning, because the price of refined iron and steel in this era was too expensive.

In order to give better play to the power of this weapon, Ning Yu also specially invited those military masters to familiarize themselves with this weapon, and asked them to compile a set of concise and effective bayonet techniques and teach them to the students.

Although these military masters are battlefield veterans who have seen a lot of blood, after all, they have never seen such a short stabbing spear, so they also have a headache, and vaguely expressed doubts: There are long spears that are not used, what is the use of using such a short one?

Ning Yu didn't tell them the reason, but just let them hurry up and familiarize themselves with it, whoever is the first to be proficient in using this kind of bayonet gun will get a reward of ten taels of silver, so the bayonet spear is slowly popularized in the Eagle Camp.

With an order, all the cadets marched in a column like a hill outside the village, which was nearly thirty miles away from the villa, although the road was not so smooth, but for these cadet boys, it was not an obstacle difficult to overcome.

The cadets have been silently trotting along the road, because the nutritional supply during this period is quite sufficient, so the body of the cadets has gradually become stronger, and their physical fitness has gradually improved, which can adapt to the needs of some high-intensity sports.

Ning Yu knows very well that in this situation of daily high-intensity training, the food of the cadets is the top priority, not even less fish and less meat, the wolf only eats meat to have enough strength to bite the prey, if the nutrition supply is not up, it will only increase the training intensity, which will destroy the bodies of these cadets.

However, this level of nutritional supply made the silver in Ning Yu's account flow out like water, Ning Zhongjing's eyes widened when he first received the purchase order, the grain and rice on it were cost-effective, and the average grain consumption per person was at least three or five times that of ordinary people in this era, and in addition to grain and rice, about 800 catties of pork and more than 300 catties of fish were needed every month.

It was under this kind of supply, regardless of the cost, that the cadets gradually recovered their physical condition, but it also caused an expenditure of up to seventy or eighty taels of silver per month.

Don't seventy or eighty taels of silver is very little, in this era, the annual expenses of an ordinary family of three are only seven or eight taels of silver, this is only food money, the back of the dress and daily expenses and a series of expenses, with Ning Yu's current account of more than 1,000 taels of silver, it can barely support less than a year.

Therefore, Ning Yu came this time for cross-country training, and secondly, it was ordinary mineral salt, according to the memory of his later generations, the distribution area of Yunmeng's mineral salt was very dense, so so many people searched carefully, it should be able to find.

The weather was getting hotter, and the heads of the cadets were oozing sweat, so Ning Yu rode alone on the horse and followed behind, not only to urge them not to slack off, but also to prevent some cadets from falling behind.

Out of the consideration of discipline training, Ning Yu called these teenagers students, one for study, and the other for military, so that they could understand that they were soldiers from the root. Therefore, under the long-term discipline training, these teenagers have developed a taciturn temperament, and everything is based on orders from Ningyu.

The students called Ning Yu the camp seat in the Eagle Camp - only Dong Ce has always insisted on calling Ning Yu the young master in private, although Ning Yu has burned everyone's deeds in public, but in Dong Ce's eyes, Ning Yu is his eternal master.

Dong Ce tried his best to run at the front, but he remembered the scenes of these years in his mind, he fled all the way from the north, and the rest of the family had already fallen down, only he struggled to climb into the Temple of Mercy and Grace.

It wasn't until Ning Yu appeared that he had never eaten a full meal, and it wasn't until he walked to the Eagle Camp that Dong Ce felt his heart beating and felt like a person.

For the Eagle Camp, Dong Ce truly regards this place as his home and as a place he has guarded all his life.

"Dong Ce, I won't lose to you again today!" Xu Chengdong, who was stout, deliberately hit Dong Ce with his body, waking him up.

Dong Ce's body was thinner than Xu Chengdong, so he was almost knocked over, but he didn't care, and snorted: "You big black man, the good show is still to come, and my team will be the leader today!" ”

Ning Yu sat on the horse, and naturally saw the small actions of these two people clearly, but he didn't care, healthy competition is a good thing, it can promote the common progress of each other, of course, if there is a trend of developing into a private fight, Ning Yu will also solve the problem as soon as possible, or solve the person who created the problem.

Two hours are gradually passing, the target mountain has appeared in everyone's sight, and at this time, the queue can no longer be maintained, Ning Yu is not too forced, after all, being able to go to the thirty-mile road in two hours is still not so easy to walk, which makes it impossible for those green camp uncles to come.

Because Ning Yu was riding a horse, he took the lead in going up the mountain, and the southern hills were relatively short, so it was not too laborious, but looking at the gloomy color in front of him, Ning Yu's nervous mood gradually relaxed.

"Tell the camp! All 20 members of Team B have arrived, and no one has been left behind, please review! ”

Dong Ce, who was covered in sweat, stood upright in front of Ning Yu's horse, although there were traces of branch scratches on his arms and legs, he didn't care, and when he saw the satisfied look in Ning Yu's eyes, he opened his mouth and smiled extremely brightly.
