After only one day's work, the fifth Lun completely gave up the plan to let the pigs and pigs train in the army.

"It's just too hard."

Looking at the messy team in front of him, Wu Lun sat back on the stool with some discouragement, only to feel a headache.

It is only now that he understands how high the quality of college students and high school students in later generations is. Regardless of combat skills, it is only better than the comprehension and discipline trained by more than ten years of education, and it is a big cut off the so-called good family.

Not to mention, the 100% illiterate private slaves and convicts in this pig suddenness.

Strict discipline requirements, accurate selection, and professional training, they are not touched, and they were even starving and freezing a few days ago.

What is even more puzzling is that in the past few months in the barracks, Zhu Tu Yong has not mentioned weapons, and he has not issued them at all, and he has not even practiced the flags, golden drums, and advance and retreat needed by the ancient military formation. They simply made up the swoo, announced rewards and punishments, and then threw them to fend for themselves.

Today, the Fifth Lun trial training people did not mention the complicated action of marching left and right and turning, but only made them take two simple steps in a straight line.

As a result, if you don't move, you will explode on the spot!

But I saw the back team hit the front team, and the front team hit the back team. The ducks who went down the river at least knew that they followed the head duck, and they only walked a few steps, and the people in the back row could not find the priests and be hundreds, so their steps were completely messy, and they didn't know if they thought they were going out to catch the market.

Seeing this scene, the fifth Lunzhi sighed, even the private servants who had been trained by the fifth tyrant in their own dock courtyard were stronger than them, such "soldiers" let alone fighting, they would collapse by themselves after pulling them out for a walk.

If you want to kill your head strictly according to the crime of disorder, I am afraid that you will have to cut off hundreds of heads a day and kill the fifth Lun into a bare-bones commander. The whipping was also beaten, the meal was confiscated, and the fifth Lun even went down to demonstrate in person, so tired that he was sore and his mouth was dry, but it was still useless.

It's not that they are hopeless, it's just that the foundation is here, and I'm afraid that it will take three months of teaching to have the effect of three days of military training for college students. But Wang Mang may come to Hongmen at any time, and if he wants to succeed quickly, even if he comes up with a generous reward and severe punishment, the difficulty is similar to that of a sow going up a tree.

Fifth Lun was at a loss, but he saw that the pigs outside were originally sitting cross-legged on the ground resting, with the sound of a gong symbolizing eating? Actually stood up with a brush? It's so uniform!

Fifth Lun was amused, and immediately thought: "Since it is chaotic to walk? Why not settle for the next best? What about just standing posture? ”

……

The next day, after everyone has eaten their fill? Fifth, Lun changed his strategy.

"Tall in front, short in the back? Stretch out your hand? Fingertips until they reach their predecessors. ”

Because of the dislike of the sparse and chaotic standing of the pigs, the fifth Lun first pulled out the soldiers, chiefs, and captains separately and promulgated a new queue station law.

Then let them each return to the team, and use the method of the fifth Lun to clean up the pigs and pigs? Suddenly the difficulty doubled? The discipline is too poor, just lined up one second, and the next second when I turn around and talk to others, and it's chaotic again.

Fifth Lun could only let Zhang Yu and others take the black charcoal and draw the ground as a prison under everyone's feet.

"The meals of those who are out of the circle are halved! One person out of the circle? Shiwu sits! ”

Or do they rely on the scare of punishment to stand still? It's good to be static and neat.

It took a whole day to line up the queues before the fifth Lun liver pain? The next step is to specialize in "sitting in formation".

Sitting in a formation is a battle formation that takes a sitting posture before the battle, which is equivalent to sitting cross-legged in later generations. Punished dozens of people in a row? Let the seventh biao be beaten in public to set an example? to stop their urge to tilt their heads and chat with others.

And then an interesting scene came along? With the sound of a gong to open the meal, more than 800 people who had been training in each queue suddenly stood up without the order of the military officer, and looked in the direction of the room.

Then I remembered that the eclipse hadn't arrived yet.

This is the conditioned reflex that everyone has practiced for months, something engraved in instinct, and Wu Lun couldn't help but laugh: "Pavlov is honest and does not deceive me. ”

It was not too difficult to change from a sitting position to a standing position, and in the fifth Lun, the difficulty was how to keep the pigs standing in the sun for a quarter of an hour. He was afraid that the people's physical fitness would be too poor because they couldn't eat enough for too long, and they would faint after standing in the sun for a while.

But to the surprise of Wu Lun, standing still is actually one of the best performances of the pig warriors - ignore the fact that many people are always bent over and can't stand up straight, and don't care about their frequent words of reaching out to pick their noses, scratching their crotch and buttocks.

Still Zang Nu told the fifth Lun the reason: "When we are slaves and maids, if we are field slaves, we will work in the field under the scorching sun for several hours, and we will not rest, and if we are lazy, the whip will be drawn on our bodies." ”

"If you are a domestic slave, you often have to hold the master and tiger and other things on standby, and you will stand outside the door for a long time, and you will not dare to avoid the wind and rain."

"More often than not, you have to kneel on the ground, whether it's cold or hot."

Zang smiled angrily: "Compared to this, now that the Lord Monarch has let us stand, what is that?" I haven't come across such an easy job for as long as I can remember, and I can still eat well. ”

There was bitterness in the optimistic words, and Wu Lun understood, no wonder many people couldn't straighten their waists at all, it was the burden of being slaves in the past, which had broken their backbones.

Fifth Lun only silently told Xuan Biao that as a reward for his training, he would use the fish bought in the bazaar today, put some lard, and boil a few pots of white-colored fish soup for the soldiers to drink.

The art of war is cloudy, the commander of the army is taught, the chief of the combination is long, the chief of the is taught, the chief of the pawn is the chief of the pawn, and the chief of the uncle is ...... By analogy, Shiwu's training is already very good, and the most difficult thing is to train 800 people together, and it is easy to mess up when there are too many people.

Fortunately, there were no moths in the whole process, and today's captain Liang Qiuci also came to observe, under his orders, Dai Gong has been very obedient these days.

Liang Qiuci and Wu Lun stood on the school platform, but they saw that the eight hundred pigs were suddenly arranged in an orderly manner, and after several days of practice, they could stand and sit firmly without drawing circles. First sat like a bell, and stood together with a gong, for a quarter of a moment, at least the elite in the front row stood like a pine, and although the back row stood like a welcoming pine, it was not too chaotic.

Liang Qiuci's requirements were very low, and he couldn't help but applaud.

"I never thought that Bo Yu would be able to train the stragglers in such an orderly manner in just a few days, and he deserves to have read the book of the late Great Sima Yan Youbing."

He put his mind at ease, he could let Wu Lun stand in the front row of this song to welcome the emperor's review, and he really only stood still that day - the emperor patrolled the camp, and whoever dared to make noise would be politically responsible.

Fifth Lun set up a banquet to entertain the captain, Liang Qiuci was happy today, and the small contradiction with Fifth Lun a few days ago was temporarily forgotten in the back of his mind, and after talking more, after drinking a few cups, he withdrew from everyone and asked Fifth Lun curiously.

"The lieutenant colonel and Sima didn't care much about the life and death of the pigs, and only accepted a few brave people. Only Boyu thought of their lives, so that they had enough food and clothing, and did not hesitate to offend the soldiers, be hundreds, and even pay for fish and bedding and other things by themselves. ”

Of course, it is to completely master these 800 people, and when the time comes, there will be a mutiny in the future!

Wu Lun only bowed his head and said: "This is a long way to the border, to the border counties, if you fight with the Huns, if the subordinate soldiers do not fight, I am afraid that my life will be endangered, so I am worried, in order to protect myself, I have to treat them better." ”

"Bo Yu read the military book in vain, but he didn't even understand this simple thing?"

Liang Qiuci laughed out loud, and laughed for a while before he said meaningfully: "Do you really think that this expedition is to attack the Huns?" ”

Fifth Lun was shocked, but Liang Qiuci didn't say anything anymore, and only said something in a different voice.

"What's more, since ancient times, there have been regular pawns and envious pawns in the army. The source of soldiers is good, most of them are good families and elites, and they practice the golden drum and call the banner to advance and retreat five soldiers on weekdays, and they should be the first to respond to the enemy when fighting. ”

Liang Qiu Ci said: "The envy of the pawn is worse, as the assistant of the main pawn, responsible for repairing bridges and paving roads, transporting supplies during the march, and rarely has the opportunity to reach the front line, so there is no need to know the flag, know the golden drum, and pass the battle array. ”

"Don't you understand? This pig is brave and brave, and he is an envious pawn. ”

Fifth Lun suddenly, everything makes sense now, the daring pig is really cannon fodder auxiliaries, he said, no matter how stupid Wang Mang and the ministers of the court are, it is impossible to believe that such a rotten soldier can "destroy the Huns".

And thinking of Liang Qiuci's previous gaffes, this conscription, the Huns are false, but in fact, there is another use?

"I don't know if Yan You knows what's going on, if I have time, I have to ask him, and by the way, borrow a few more military books."

For the layman of Wu Lun, it is not harmful to learn from scratch to lead troops in battle, practice a little bit as a middle-level officer, and at the same time know more theories.

After Liang Qiuci left, the fifth Lun watched the pig warriors practice sitting and standing, and always felt that there was something missing.

The armor and weapons that will be distributed tomorrow are missing, because they are positioned as envious pawns, and they are afraid that they will have blades in their hands that are difficult to manage.

But even if they are fully equipped, their battalion, among the tens of thousands of pigs, is still not eye-catching enough, so that people can notice them at a glance?

After pondering for a while, the fifth Lun asked the fifth blessing to go back to Changling, and asked the fourth to buy some things and send them.

"What to buy?"

"Eighty pieces of yellow cloth."

……

A day later, several wagons loaded with yellow cloth were sent into the camp.

Fifth Lun touched the rough jute cloth and asked how much money the fourth salt had spent.

"Sect Master, jute cloth is cheap, a hundred stones of grain will be exchanged for eighty horses."

The price of cloth of this year, the same material, and different colors is very different. As for the color, just look at the color of the ribbons of officials at all levels of the imperial court, from high to low, in order: purple ribbon, green ribbon, black ribbon, yellow ribbon.

Although purple is not a positive color, but because it is too rare, it can only be infected with the roots of comfrey, and its color is quite attractive, or among the two thousand stones, with the gold seal, it has become a symbol of wealth.

The lowest level is vegetarian and yellow, because the source of dyes is too rich, acacia flower, gardenia, coxagulus, barberry, mulberry, turmeric can all be colored. Then it matched with kudzu and hemp, and became the most common color of the folk. Officials and servants, the color of the clothes is soap or yellow, and the puppet is also known as the white ding.

However, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the previous dynasty, yellow has an extra meaning because of the popularity of the symbol of the five virtues.

Wu Lun once heard Yangxiong mention that the five virtues of the Han Dynasty are confused: in the early Han Dynasty, because of the insistence of Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, he directly followed the water virtue of the Qin Dynasty, and the color was still black.

But the Confucian scholars were extremely dissatisfied, repeatedly protested, and when it came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they finally became good as flowing, and the system was reformed at the beginning, and the Han family became Tude and Shanghuang.

As a result, at the end of the Han Dynasty, because Liu Xin and his father Liu Xiang used ancient books to redefine the definition of the five virtues of mutual restraint, according to the legend of Liu Bangchidi beheading the white snake, and finally thought that the Han Virtue was still hot, and red should be used.

Huang Han was changed to Yan Han for a few generations, and he met Wang Mang Chan Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty died.

According to Liu Xin's deduction of the five virtues, the new dynasty has also become Tude, which is still yellow. I heard that the emperor Wang Mang wore all the dyes of Zhe (zhè) wood, and the color was slightly dark and "reddish".

As a result, yellow, which should have been at the top of the chain of color contempt, became expensive and cheap.

This is the sign that Fifth Lun found for the soldiers of this battalion.

The fifth Lun asked the needlework to divide the cloth, and cut each piece of cloth into ten parts, and distributed it to the pigs.

Fifth Lun himself wrapped a yellow scarf headband on the top of his head, covered his forehead, and demonstrated: "I have to stand outside for a long time today, the spring wind is strong, and adding a cloth on the top can make everyone feel a lot more comfortable." ”

"Second, it can also make us stand out in the black-haired buns in the army, so that the emperor can see it at a glance! His Majesty will be happy when he sees it, and he may be able to get some reward. ”

Everyone agreed, happily wrapped the yellow scarf on the top of their heads, and they all felt that Sima treated the soldiers very well, and for a while, they were originally indifferent to everyone, and their colors suddenly became bright.

The pigs don't know that the fifth Lun has a third purpose.

After coming to this era, the small inventions that Wu Lun made up are not outrageous, most of them can be completed, and Wang Mang did not suddenly hear about his deeds and sent someone to invite him into the palace, this guy is most likely not a real traverser.

Today is the closest that Wu Lun and Wang Mang are close to, although he doesn't know if he can really meet, he still decided to be bold and jump sideways to test it......

When he was thinking about what slogan to let the soldiers shout at that time, without the slightest warning, the captain Liang Qiuci sent someone to inform the fifth lun.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived in Xinfeng, and he will arrive at Hongmen within an hour!"
