Chapter 441: Divine Weapon

At Liu Sheng's age, when his feelings are not exposed, he is always a little heartless.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that I had prepared a hearty breakfast and a good bag.

His joy of being away from home and his expectations for life in the army clearly outweighed the grievances and worries of his parents.

After a hurried breakfast, he happily carried his bags, said goodbye to his reluctant father, looked for a partner, and went to the camp together.

On this day, the entire camp was overcrowded.

Almost everyone was anxious, even Chen Zhengtai, who suddenly realized ...... It seems that it is a bit reckless to recruit 5,000 people in one go.

The gods of war of that generation claimed to lead their own troops, and the more the merrier.

When I looked at history at that time, Chen Zhengtai thought that this was Han Xin's bragging, well, he Han Xin could blow it, and so could I, Chen Zhengtai!

But now, Chen Zhengtai has a headache and realizes that this is not the same thing at all!

Five or six thousand men and horses suddenly poured into a camp, and everyone was at a loss, like a swarm of headless flies.

Here they have to prepare their food and drink, and there they have to start registering everyone and allocating barracks. On the other side, they are to be assigned into the battalions. In addition to this, armor and weapons were to be distributed.

And the most terrifying thing is ...... Chen Zhengtai discovered...... There was a marked lack of pits in the camp.

Fuck ...... He never imagined that the problem would appear in this matter.

Fortunately, Su Dingfang had experience in leading troops, and calmly led some of the backbones of the former Hussar Mansion, and it took two hours to finally sort out everyone in an orderly manner.

Xue Rengui and Heiya Changzhi, as well as Chen Zhengye, each chose the people they needed.

Although the infantry battalion is large in number, the other battalions have the right of priority in the selection of personnel.

It can be said that the black tooth is often big, the military camp is more important, it is to protect the Chinese army, and it is reasonable to pick some strong ones out, right?

Xue Rengui can also say that what I need is cavalry, if I am not strong enough, how to rush and kill, I will also pick people first.

Chen Zhengye also has his own reasons, the artillery battalion is very expensive, more than 80 guns, cast in bronze, this is all money, so expensive, can't it be a bad thing? I have to choose the best of the best.

Su Ding smiled, as a big brother, he could only force a smile? Show your generosity.

After the battalions were selected, they were led back to practice according to their abilities.

The new army has finally been built? And at this time? Deng Jian had also packed his bags and entered the army.

Deng Jian seemed very calm? He was not bothered by this sudden 'deplorment'!

When you arrived at the General's Mansion, you first met Chen Zhengtai? Chen Zhengtai told Deng Jian about the duties of the new army's military governor.

Deng Jian only thought about it? Then he said, "The student understands. ”

Isn't this guy's reaction too flat? Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel strange, and couldn't help but say, "Just understand? What do you understand? ”

Deng Jian said: "The ancestor explains, and the students do it." ”

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but sigh: "Can't you listen to people's orders for everything?" Do you have to use your brain sometimes? Be good at drawing inferences from others, and don't just listen to people's instructions. ”

Deng Jian only smiled: "Huh." ”

As a matter of fact? Really busy in this army? Precisely not the commander of the battalions, because quickly? Do you find out? Joining the military is the busiest.

In the beginning? Archive everyone's information and then ...... These recruits? The emotional change is significant.

Those hot-blooded young men thought that entering the camp was a golden iron horse.

But in fact, it was found that it was just a boring exercise, from morning to night, without interruption, this kind of exercise was the most grinding people, a group of restless boys came in, as if they were being crushed by the mill day by day, psychologically unacceptable, and the resistance spread.

As a result, the soldiers in the military government had to recruit soldiers whose mood in each battalion had changed greatly to the military palace and let them vent their dissatisfaction.

In addition, there is also an organization to read newspapers, and the newspaper has opened a special supplement for this purpose, which is aimed at the tastes of the working class, and sometimes, there are also contributions in the army, Deng Jian's side encourages some officers and soldiers to have leisure time to write some stories in the army, and in addition, it is to teach officers and soldiers some knowledge.

Although it is still the same as Confucianism, it is obviously ...... The Confucian theory that belittles the hundred workers must be removed, and instead the Confucian sage's concept of teaching and loyalty and filial piety must be exalted.

The military office also needs to inspect the soldiers' barracks to ensure that everyone's housekeeping is kept clean and tidy.

This is a top priority now, with so many people gathered together, and if any epidemic occurs, the entire camp can be destroyed in an instant.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, the biggest enemy of the army is precisely not the outside, but the epidemic, the defeat of the ancient army in the war, is often caused by the army first infected with the epidemic, and then the opponent seized the opportunity.

Chen Zhengtai attaches great importance to maintaining hygiene, he asked everyone to wash frequently, to ensure that the barracks are kept clean, and even to distribute disinfectant potions for them to spray at any time, to ensure that clothes are washed and changed every two days, and that there are no puddles near the camp.

And just relying on the realisation of those guys is absolutely impossible. A bunch of rough guys, what can you expect from them? I can only let the military office go to inspect every three or five times, and after the inspection, I will report it, again and again, at first everyone didn't care, and then it was honest.

Of course, occasionally organizing some activities among officers and soldiers is also a top priority. On the side of the military office, there are some competitive activities such as Marseille, polo and tug-of-war, and even some activity rooms such as chess games.

Of course, the purpose is very simple, the practice is indeed very hard, and there will be some leisure work every day, and these leisures, a group of extremely tired people, if there are no other hobbies to distract them, there will inevitably be some chaos.

Deng Jian is now very busy, he finished talking with a non-commissioned officer in the morning, at noon he taught some military attachés who beat the non-commissioned officers in the exercise, and in the afternoon he had to deal with the paperwork, and in the evening, he organized people to read the newspaper, and the newspaper can not only be read, but also needs to be explained, after all, every message, the person who reads it understands differently, but the army is different, the army must ensure that everyone has the same understanding, everyone thinks the same, if everyone has different thoughts, then it is easy to make trouble.

Therefore, this requires a certain level of explanation, there are a lot of people and talents in the military palace, although these records of the army and the army are a lot of books, but after all, most of them come out of the school, and the experience is not enough, so Deng Jian needs to personally demonstrate.

Of course...... In the evening, when it was about to fall, Deng Jian still had to check the accounts of the army guys.

More than 5,000 people, so many mouths, so hard training, this meal is a very important thing, now to ensure that each person has half a catty of meat, two eggs, and a catty of rice noodles, and a fruit supply, this food standard is extremely high in this era, basically reaching the level of a landlord with 500 acres of land.

But standards are one thing, and how to make sure that no one is up and down is also crucial.

After a busy day, Deng Jian was already exhausted, but he always seemed to feel that there was something hidden in his heart, so he picked up the lamp and began to write a report according to the situation in the past few days.

On the one hand, this report is for the master to see, to say some of his own views in the army, and what can be corrected. On the other hand, it is also necessary to print and transcribe it and distribute it to the officials of the military office, so that they can learn and have the ability to take charge of their own affairs in the future.

Liu Sheng, who was enthusiastic about joining the army at first, felt that his life was worse than death not long after he entered the army.

The enthusiasm of the army was quickly wiped out by a large number of drills.

He was assigned to the infantry battalion, wearing heavy armor every day, starting from the standing queue, standing from morning to night for four hours a day, at the end of the day, he felt that his body no longer belonged to him, and when the armor left his body, he finally felt lighter, and when it was time to eat, he found that his appetite was amazing, and after eating, he found that he had to go to the laundry by himself, which was originally what his mother did, but now, he had to obediently pack up his dirty clothes like everyone else, and go to the camp near the well water, The clothes were washed with soaphorns distributed in the army, and not only that, but the quilts in the barracks also had to be tidied up.

At the end of the day, he barely bothered to speak.

The terrible thing is that day after day, day after day, it is inevitable that people will have feelings of resistance.

It turned out to be such hard work in the army.

I don't know when it was a head.

You might as well go to work.

But people always have a process of adaptation, he quickly noticed, and after half a month, slowly get used to it, he has begun to numb, get up early in the morning, quickly fold the quilt, take a clean underwear and dress neatly, and then wear armor, the armor is very heavy, you must have to help each other with the partners of the camp to put it on, and then go to the school, halfway may be mixed with morning reading, after a day of practice, I don't feel so tired.

He is now in love with playing chess, and after practicing, in the evening, there are many people like him who go to the military palace to play against people, and half an hour is enough time to fight with people, and they are always thinking about how to win.

Later, he found that he was used to this kind of exercise, as long as he was not sleeping, he had to wear armor at any time, and the dozens of pounds of things on his body gradually did not feel heavy. Of course, when the armor was taken off, he could feel the lightness of his whole body, as if a person was about to float.

Fortunately...... After a period of recruit training, it's finally time to start some more interesting drills.

Everyone began to hand out sabers and muskets, and Liu Sheng finally began to feel ...... Life has a little more color.

It's just that the practice of muskets is obviously more boring, and every day you do the same action repeatedly, that is, you are constantly putting on gunpowder, lining up, and marching forward in unison, it seems that the army does not encourage you to rush and kill, only requires you to be in the queue at any time......

This made Liu Sheng can't help but start to envy the cavalry battalion, which is obviously different, riding on a horse every day, following the cavalry captain Xue Rengui whistling past every day, riding a horse, and looking complacent.

Of course, compared to the artillery battalion, Liu Sheng felt more down-to-earth, the so-called artillery battalion sounded amazing, but in fact, the content of their daily drills was to move the heavy cannons and shells from east to west, and then from west to east.

People who joined the military government would come from time to time, and they encouraged Liu Sheng to submit articles to the Baigong Newspaper, and they would also encourage him to write some family letters.

Liu Sheng has a very good impression of the people who join the military government, they are not as fierce and vicious as the military attachés, they speak very kindly, of course, the most important thing is that because they play chess well, the people who join the military government want to organize themselves to play chess with everyone.

As the days passed, Liu Sheng felt that his body was better, and his mind began to be filled with countless strange things, such as respecting teachers and noble ways, following His Majesty to suppress Haoqiang, defending hundreds of workers, and so on.

At first, he felt that these things were just taught from the book, but when he talked too much, he felt that this thing seemed to be imprinted in his mind, and sometimes he would subconsciously say these new words taught in the military office.

He is no longer as lazy as before, and the person wearing the armor, even after a tiring day of drills, is in good spirits, and at all times, he feels that his body is tense, of course...... Strength is also growing imperceptibly.

As for the world outside the New Army, it seemed to be becoming more and more distant, and as the days passed in the army, he had almost forgotten about it.

In this small world, he seems to be immersed in it.

As for the general Chen Zhengtai, this period of time is his most orderly day, and he needs to come to the camp early every morning to be on duty.

In his opinion, the duties of this great general still need to be observed, after all, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.

When I arrived at my duty room in the morning, at first, there were many things to do, but soon, as the military office was on the right track step by step, Chen Zhengtai realized that he really had nothing to do, basically...... The officers, both civil and military, have done everything he has to do.

Time flies.

He didn't think he could live like this all the time......

Therefore, Chen Zhengtai's biggest hobby is to go to the artillery battalion to shoot artillery.

Of course...... The artillery battalion sounds lofty, but in fact it is very boring to shoot artillery, because most of the time, they spend most of their time transporting artillery and shells.

Boxes of shells and gunpowder, as well as the cannons that could only be pulled by two horses, arrived at a certain place with all their might, and then a group of people began to be busy for more than an hour.

for...... It was a cannon shot, and after the smoke of gunpowder, everything became lonely and boring again.
