Chapter 027: Begin training
In the next few days, Ji Xinyu did not go out again, and replaced and added the machine tools in the arsenal, only to find that Niu Gu and others had made more than 80 rifled guns, and Ji Xinyu immediately decided to start using new rifled guns to equip the fifty-six members of the Guard Division brought by Chen Yu.
Each person has a rifled gun, a sapper shovel made by the blacksmith workshop according to Ji Xinyu's drawings, and a bayonet made by the blacksmith workshop that has been transformed by Aiden.
From now on, these equipped guards will no longer be allowed to participate in any work in the mines, fields, and workshops, and they will be sent to a mountain forest in the south of Lingchuan Mansion, which is surrounded by two hills to the south of Lingchuan Mansion, and at the bottom of the mountain is to embrace Nanyue Creek in Lingchuan Prefecture.
The first task given to them by Ji Xinyu was to rely on the strength of these 56 people to open up a one-kilometer-radius training base at the foot of the mountain south of Nanyue Creek, leaving 150 meters on the side of the road outside and 5 meters of woods along the river. The collected trees were handed over to Fu Bo, a shipwright from the palace, who selected large materials and dried them for storage, and the remaining timber was used to build houses.
The second stage of the task is to build a chain bridge across the banks of Nanxi Lake, the iron rope is built by the blacksmith, and the construction is completed by the soldiers themselves, you know, although the river here is relatively narrow, but the width of the river is also 30 meters, to build such a bridge, it still takes some effort.
In addition to these long-term tasks, Ji Xinyu arranged an hour of target training time for them every day, starting from familiarizing themselves with guns, to hand stabilization training, to fixed targets, and then to moving targets, slowly increasing from 50 meters to 300 meters.
The food of all the soldiers was also prepared by the catering department to ensure that there was meat for the three meals, so Ji Xinyu asked He Xingwang to count the meals, but fortunately he knew that there was a silver mine behind him as a guarantee, which made He Xingwang feel a lot more at ease.
Ji Xinyu arranged these soldiers in this way to slowly let them forget about the previous tactical battle formations, so that this group of soldiers could accept the new fighting methods and battle formations using new firearms to improve their combat effectiveness.
The training plan was set, but it was still difficult to implement it, and the discipline of the soldiers was still not so strong.
Ji Xinyu had to modify the training plan again, adding an hour-long queue training every day, including individual queues, ten-person queues, and fifty-person queues, from resting, standing upright, turning in place, stepping in unison, stepping forward, and running; Secondly, physical fitness improvement includes cross-country, sprint, frog jump, push-up, and combined physical exercises; Finally, there is the training of the enemy, including posture and pace, punching, legs, anti-striking techniques, as well as grappling punches, and a set of simple knife techniques written by Aiden, etc.
At the same time, it also stipulates the basic military norms, military etiquette and obedience consciousness education, fortunately, there is Aiden's spiritual transmission, otherwise Ji Xinyu will not be able to teach more than 50 people this new training system even if he is tired.
Chen Yu, Chen Liang, Wang Fan and the other three Xiaoqi people were the group that Aiden took special care of, and it took seven or eight days to fully learn these processes and basic training content. Some other people took half a day to learn to salute, and some people felt that it was useless to learn these, and some of them resisted, causing Aiden's spiritual teaching to almost fail, but fortunately, these people's loyalty to the Shu Wangfu was undoubted, which did not make Aiden lose face.
After everyone basically mastered the training content, Ji Xinyu decided to start acting with some people, and let Chen Yu and Chen Liang ride horses followed by five or six carriages, on which dozens of villagers were sitting, all with mining tools, walking in the direction of "silver mines", and the carriage that Ji Xinyu rode was in the middle of the team, like a small landlord who went to prospecting and mining.
When he arrived at the intersection of the official road to the silver mine, Ji Xinyu found that the path had been doubled at this time, and it was already possible to walk the carriage, Ji Xinyu smiled and did not get out of the car, Chen Yu was about to take people inside, and four or five soldiers on duty ran out of the intersection to block everyone's way.
"Who are you! This is an important place for military camps, and idlers are not allowed to enter, so please detour. A general dressed in a hundred households at the head came out of the crowd and said loudly.
Seeing this, Chen Yu also took a few steps forward and said: "Under is Chen Yu, the general banner of the Shu King Guard, ten days ago, my Shu King Prince found a silver mine in front, and today I brought people to mine, and I hope that the Lord will let him go." ”
Baihu sneered and said: "This is Qiongzhou, I don't know what the prince of Shu is, as for the silver mine you said, don't hide it from you that our General Shi has arranged for someone to mine there, how can it be said that your son found it?" ”
"How so? It only took a few days for our prince to organize manpower, and it was delayed, why was it taken by General Shi first? Chen Yu continued to speak eagerly according to the lines taught by Ji Xinyu.
"Presumptuous...... Do you mean to say that we, General Shi, robbed the silver mines of your Royal Highness? Is there any basis for what you say? If not...... If you frame a court official for no reason, you will lose your head! Baihu also seemed to have been nodded by someone, and said righteously.
"This ......" When Chen Yu was "speechless", Ji Xinyu stepped out of the carriage and came to the front of the formation and said: "This lord, I am Ji Xinyu, the prince of the King of Shu, can you recognize me now?" ”
"The last general will pay a visit to His Royal Highness, but I don't know how His Highness is there...... lost his words, and I hope His Royal Highness will not be surprised. No matter how small the hundred households are, they don't dare to be presumptuous against the royal people, and when they saw Ji Xinyu, they hurriedly said in fear.
"I don't know if General Shi is here? Please help spread the word, and say that Ji Xinyu, the son of the King of Shu, asks to see. Ji Xinyu didn't talk to him either, and said directly.
After hearing this, Baihu immediately gave a few orders to the two people behind, turned around and replied: "General Shi is in the camp, please wait for a while." ”
Not long after, two horses came along the newly widened fork in the road, one of which was the commander of the commanding envoy. When the horse arrived, Shi Tuo turned over and dismounted his horse and said: "Qiongzhou has commanded Shi Tuo to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Shu." ”
"Ji Xinyu, the prince of the King of Shu, has seen General Shi, and the boy has been in Qiongzhou for many days, but for various reasons, he has not been able to visit General Shi, and I hope to forgive him." Ji Xinyu also bowed his hand and said with a smile.
"Your Highness is serious, this ...... I don't know why His Highness came to this barren mountain and wilderness? Shi Tuo obviously knew a little bit about the contradictions between Ji Xinyu and Ji Yushan, and he was not very good at politeness, so he asked directly.
"Don't hide it from General Shi, the kid discovered a silver mine in this mountain ten days ago, you must know that the imperial court has regulations that those who find minerals can mine them themselves and hand over part of the profits, and the minerals in the domain of the vassal king belong to the vassal king himself, but now this ......" Ji Xinyu explained.
"Your Highness...... Almost ten days ago, the prefect Ji informed the envoy that there was a silver mine here, and asked the contemptible people to send soldiers to take over the place. Now the nearby villagers have been summoned to start mining, so ...... This mine may be ....... Storf spoke with a bit of a slurred, as if he didn't quite know the situation.
Ji Xinyu looked at Shi Tuo and said with a smile: "In that case, can you trouble General Shi to take me to see this silver mine, and I can confirm if it is the same one I found?" ”
Shi Tuo saw that Ji Xinyu did not show too much, and seemed to accept the fact that the silver mine was lost, and said: "Since the prince wants to see it, it is okay, but your guards can only stay here." ”
"That's nature, please General Shi lead the way." Ji Xinyu still said with a smile.
instructed Chen Yu and others to wait at the intersection, led Chen Yu's horse and followed Shi Tuo to the location of the silver mine. Looking at the gravel all over the ground and the few silver ores mined, Ji Xinyu said with a smile, "General Shi, this silver mine doesn't seem to have a high yield." ”
"The prince doesn't know, this is just the periphery of the silver mine, according to the prefect, you need to dig in for a while to see the real silver mine, as for how much silver ore can be mined, it is unknown." Storf said.
Standing at the entrance of the mining cave, Ji Xinyu chatted with Aiden, smiling happily in his heart, and he had to cry with a helpless expression on his face.
"General Shi and Master Ji are going to make a fortune, I congratulate you first." Ji Xinyu pretended to be helpless and said.
"His Royal Highness the Prince smiled." Stoh said embarrassedly.
"Hey...... The boy took his leave first. Ji Xinyu sighed and turned to leave.
