After eating lunch, Montenegro returned to his dormitory, which was simple but very clean and well-equipped. Lying on the bed, I secretly thought, I finally have my own soldiers, even though I am only fifty men, how can I train them? Montenegro remembered the scene of training in the army in later generations. In the troops, there are physical training, skill training, ideological and cultural education, and so on. Not only teach everyone queue training, physical training, but also teach everyone to tidy up housekeeping, the messy dormitory, everyone is tidy and tidy, what things are placed neatly and neatly, and the quilt folded into tofu blocks is the most impressive.

"I heard that the commander of the new army is a young doctor, and when I see this today, he is so young! Is it clearly a half-sized child? A black-faced Qin official with a very strong body, heavy armor, and about thirty years old was standing at the door, talking to Montenegro in a thick Guanzhong accent.

Montenegro hurriedly stood up and saluted the visitor, saying, "The junior is Montenegro, and the senior is the instructor of the camp?" "Seeing that the person who came was a fourth-level non-changer, and there was an iron eagle pinned to his chest, he knew that the person who came must be a famous iron eagle warrior in the Qin army. didn't dare to hold it up, so he regarded himself as a junior. The selection criteria for Wei Wushu are to wear two layers of cowhide armor, a long sword, a bow and thirty arrows, and three days of rations, with a total weight of about 50 catties, and can fight immediately after a continuous march of 100 miles. It was created by the soldier Wu Qi, and Wei Wu was invincible in the early Warring States period. The Qin army Ruishi is Shang Ying's change of law, Shang Yang pioneered, on the basis of Wei Wu's weight, and added a short sword, 20 more arrows, a shield, and the cowhide armor was also replaced with iron armor, with a total weight of more than 80 catties. He also selected swordsmanship masters in Ruishi, and after passing the assessment, he was issued with the Iron Eagle logo as Iron Eagle Ruishi. It is said that only one Iron Eagle Warrior can be selected out of a hundred Sharps.

"In Xia Sun Meng, a hundred generals with heavy armor. Ordered to come here to train the new army. Sun Meng replied.

"Can the hundred generals take the time, Montenegro has just joined the army, and there are many things I want to ask."

"I'll live next door and we'll talk about it when I take off my armor."

After a while, Sun Meng came to the Black Mountain room in good spirits, dressed in black cloth, and the two of them saluted and sat down again.

"How to train a group of rabble into an elite new army, please teach me a hundred generals." Montenegro politely asked.

"The general county garrison army only has simple physical training, queue training, attack and defense training, as short as one month and as long as three months, and most of the Qin army is like this. The elite in Guanzhong is different, first half a year of queue and physical training, and then half a year of swordsmanship, bow and archery and physical training. In the last half year, we studied offensive and defensive battle drills, and for a year and a half of non-stop training, and there was no shortage of meat in the army, so that we could train into an elite new army. And the heavy cavalry needs to increase the cavalry training after half a year, and train to become the elite of heavy armor, which must not be achieved in three years! Sun Meng replied.

Montenegro calculated in his heart that one person has one pound of meat a day, fifty people, one pig in three days, fifty people become elites, and two hundred pigs are needed for meat alone, how much grain does it cost for 250,000 Ruishi in Guanzhong? It seems that the elite is piled up with money.

"How are the hundred generals going to train these fifty rabble?" Montenegro asked.

"I've only been here for three months, mainly training them in physical fitness, swordsmanship, and queues. The general specially transferred me to train you, so it can be seen that you are not trained as ordinary county soldiers. After three months, there will be a new instructor for the riding training. Sun Meng replied.

In the afternoon, Hei San checked the hygiene of the barracks again, called the two tun commanders and the four cavalry commanders, and asked them: "In the future, everyone's quilts will be folded neatly according to this and placed at the head of the bed." Everyone's dishes and chopsticks are neatly placed in this position! Everyone's clothes should be hung neatly. Floors, doors, and windows should be cleaned every day. Each day a group takes turns on duty. If you don't do well, the whole group will be punished! The cavalry commander led the teams, and the tun commander was responsible for the inspection. Sort it out again as I asked. ”

After the explanation, Montenegro was about to leave the barracks, and saw the meatloaf and a few recruits catching fleas, and threw each one into his mouth, like eating melon seeds. Montenegro was disgusted and asked, "Why did you eat fleas, are they monkeys?" ”

"Not disgusting! Handsome, they ate my blood, I ate them again, and I made a piece of meat. Meatloaf replied.

"Everyone washed themselves with well water and took out the quilts to bask in the sun. In the evening, the commander will go and buy two sheep for you to keep. I have to check before eating, and if I don't do it, I can only drink soup. After Montenegro finished his confession, he felt like he had escaped from the barracks.

Montenegro found Xiao Shi in the barracks and gave him three hundred dollars! Say to him, "Go and buy two sheep!" Add a meal to everyone in the evening, lamb stew. After speaking, he hurriedly left the camp and went to the county guard mansion to find Wu Bufan.

"I want to train those fifty rabble into elite cavalry, but the soldiers' food is porridge every day, and the instructor said that when I go out for a run and come back, my ex-brother will be so hungry that he will stick to his back. How to practice? Please Brother Wu help me! Montenegro got straight to the point and asked Wu Bufan directly.

"Your fifty people have already taken special care, the porridge is thicker than others, and meat is added! What else? Wu Bufan asked rhetorically.

"I heard from the instructor that if you want to train to become a sharp soldier, you must have rice, vegetables, and a pound of meat per person every morning and noon! Otherwise, let alone running a hundred miles with a weight of eighty pounds, even thirty miles can't be run. Montenegro replied.

"In this way, each soldier's daily food will increase by at least eight yuan, and fifty people will be four hundred yuan! That's 12,000 dollars a month! Wu Bufan said, "This matter, wait for me to make a decision." ”

"Then there is Brother Lao Wu, I will leave first!"

Montenegro hurried out of the county guard mansion again and went to the vegetable market in the city to take a casual turn. I'm going to see if there's a way to save money and get those people to eat well. In this era, there were very few vegetables, only sunflower, leek, weed, shallot, and green onion. These are five important vegetables in China's Warring States period and the Qin and Han dynasties. The main meats are pigs, dogs, and sheep. The Qin State even imposed heavy taxes on meat. It was almost evening, and the meat was almost sold out, but Montenegro found that many meat auxiliaries were only left in the water. When asked, it turned out that in this era, people almost did not eat water meat, and only then did I remember that the northwest region in later generations almost did not eat pigs in the water before the nineties. Montenegro was overjoyed, and he chatted with the boss of the meat assistant. "Boss, how to sell pigs in the water!"

"Fifteen dollars for a set of water. You see, fat, big and cheap. The butcher replied.

Brother Hei is overjoyed, the pork belly, small intestine, and pig heart in later generations are much more expensive than meat, and this whole set is only fifteen yuan, and one pound is only one dollar. Then he asked, "If I want 10 sets a day, do they have any stock?" Can it be cheaper? ”

"You're not going to entertain me, are you? Do you buy so many pigs to eat? The butcher sneered, he didn't believe that anyone wanted ten sets of pigs to go into the water every day.

"You will send ten sets to the new barracks in the southeast of the city tomorrow morning, and they must be cleaned, not if they are not clean! But you first set the price for the long-term cooperation. Montenegro replied seriously.

"The boot barracks in the southeast corner? I just sent two sheep over, and the guy over there said that it was the new commander who was giving the recruits more food. That's handsome, but young! The butcher said to himself.

"I'm the new handsome man!" Montenegro said, "Give me a good price!" ”

"Is it really such a coincidence? You're a handsome man, and you make sure you wash every day. How about a set of twelve dollars? The butcher said with a smile on his face.

"It's the price you said, but you still have to help me sort and cut it, and each piece is the size of a female finger. Cut and weigh, a pound and eight cents! "If you can, it's decided!" Montenegro said.

The butcher smiled with surprise on his face and promised: "No problem, my gang of guys, every day idle eggs hurt, just let them practice knife skills." Handsome man, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll get you two catties of pig's head meat and beat your teeth. ”

"That's it, I'll get it ready tomorrow and send it over." Montenegro said as he strode away, not asking for the butcher's pig's head.

"Shuai Sir, how do you think we are doing with the cleaning?" As soon as he walked into the barracks, the meatloaf said loudly, "I brought in water from the well to wash all the bowls for today. ”

You turtle calves, smell your own armpits. Who hasn't washed it clean? I'll wait to kill him. Miron was loudly reprimanding his team.

"Shuaisi, can you eat? I'm so hungry! The dead fat man touched his belly and asked Montenegro.

"Dead fatty, what do you eat all day long except that you are hungry? What else would you say? If I show you to change the rice in the bucket with your fingers, I will punish you for not eating for three days. Montenegro scolded angrily as he checked the hygiene of the dormitory. Fortunately, everyone worked very hard when they heard that they had meat to eat, and the whole dormitory had a new look. Montenegro's black face finally showed a smile, and he was quite satisfied.

At dinner, everyone was given a big bowl of mutton, and the room also steamed white rice, and the mutton bones were stewed into soup. Everyone ate white rice with fragrant stewed mutton, and everyone was sweaty and red.

After dinner, Montenegro called a few people who were cooking in the room and explained: "Tomorrow the butcher will send a hundred catties of pigs to the water, I have asked them to wash and cut them, you go buy some dry bitter vegetables tomorrow and come back, pigs, stew with bitter vegetables, put more ginger slices and garlic cloves!" ”

A few men were stunned when they heard this, and asked, "Can you eat this?" Pig water and bitter herbs are usually things that no one wants to eat. ”

"Before the pig goes into the pot, it must be blanched with boiling water first, which can reduce a lot of fishy smell." Montenegro explained seriously, "You can do as I ask, and make sure they all like to eat." ”

Montenegro clearly knows that stewed pork with bitter vegetables is a famous dish in his hometown in later generations, and it is already a must-have organic food in the hotel. In this era, the poor people were picked in the spring to dry and hide, and when the green and yellow were not harvested, they were taken out and boiled in salt water, although they were bitter and astringent, but they also became the life-saving rations of the poor families. The bitter taste of bitter herbs can effectively remove the fishy smell of pig drainage, and the greasy taste of pig drain can make bitter herbs become smooth and not astringent. It's very nutritious, it's very tasty, and the key thing is that it's very cheap.

The next day, Montenegro still got up at dawn and practiced Yongchun White Crane Boxing. An hour later, instructor Sun Meng also got up, "Knock! Boom! Boom! "Beat the drums of war. The first drum is the wake-up number. When Montenegro entered the barracks, he saw that everyone was slow and did not move much, and there was no vigorous movement of the soldiers at all. "It's time to get up, whoever is late will be punished!" After shouting for a long time, everyone got up slowly.

Montenegro had no choice but to come outside, and saw that the instructor Sun Meng was already dressed in a black suit, with a long sword hanging on his waist, standing on the school grounds, like a black iron tower.

"These people, they're used to being lazy, don't worry, I have my own way to clean them up!" After Sun Meng finished speaking, he beat the second drum.

The drumming stopped for a long time, and everyone came to the school field slowly, complaining that they got up too early!

Montenegro called two tun chiefs, gave the order to go down, stand in the positions arranged yesterday, and wait for the instructor to speak.

Wait for everyone to assemble crookedly. Sun Meng shouted loudly: "If you enter the barracks, you will follow the military law!" Starting tomorrow, get up with the first drum in the morning, and if you don't gather in place after the second drum, you will hit ten military sticks for the first time and behead for the second time! Qin's law is strict, and military law is even stricter! Did you hear me clearly? ”

When everyone heard that they were going to cut off their heads when they were late, their necks were cold, and they all quieted down and tried to stand up straight. When I think about getting up slowly in the morning, my neck is a little cold. Immediately clean it all up!

Sun Meng walked around the school yard, made some adjustments to the queue, and started the first day of queue practice. The main thing is to familiarize everyone with the password and move back and forth, left and right, and whoever doesn't do it well, the ass will be kicked immediately.

At lunchtime, everyone was given a big bowl of bitter vegetables and stewed meat.

"Is this still bitter herbs and water meat? Why is it so delicious? Shi Fatzi was the first to sigh! Everyone paid for it, and they also praised it.

Montenegro also paid for a bowl, the same taste as later generations, this is a nutritious meal for these people in the future!

After lunch, Wu Bufan sent six thousand dollars. said to Montenegro: "Subsidizing 200 yuan a day for food is already higher than the standard of the county guards!" No matter how high it is, there is no way! ”

Montenegro was overjoyed and immediately asked the barracks officers to complete the delivery. "Thank you for me, Lord Commander, I will repay you for training you to become elite soldiers and strong in the future."

"I'll stay soon, and today the army will march to Xinzheng, and I still have a lot of things to do." Wu Bufan said goodbye to Montenegro and left.

Montenegro also called the military officials and the men, and explained: "In the future, all the food will be redetermined, and ten sets of pigs will be used every day for 120 yuan to buy meat and vegetables, and the rest of the money will be used to buy corn." In the morning, it is corn rice, at noon it is white rice, and in the evening it is porridge as before. "Eighty dollars a day is not enough for everyone to eat dry rice, but it is enough to buy cheap corn. Montenegro knows that the nutrition of corn is no worse than that of rice, but the taste is not as good as rice. Finally, it can be guaranteed that these people can cook two meals a day and a big bowl of meat and vegetables, Montenegro breathed a sigh of relief, these can't let these people eat in vain!

In the afternoon, when the training began, Montenegro stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Brother Paoze, the meat at noon is delicious!" Want to eat it every day? ”

"Think, it's delicious! Is it possible to eat it every day? The landlord didn't eat meat every day! They answered.

"Through the efforts of this commander and the concern of the county guard, our daily food expenses have increased by another two hundred yuan, and I can guarantee that two dry meals and meat dishes will remain the same at noon every morning." Montenegro said loudly.

"Okay, long live the handsome chief, long live the county guard." The crowd cheered!

"However, I will give you good food and drink, not to make you squat! Only those who train hard have meat to eat. I've got a request! Montenegro said.

"Say it! What turtle calf conditions? As long as there is something delicious, I can lend you a whole ass! Miron shouted loudly, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"Starting tomorrow morning, get up an hour early, practice White Crane Boxing with me, and then train normally, before going to bed at night, you must first learn the three Qin characters! Which team did not do a good job of hygiene when they were on duty, and there was no meat to eat for three days. Individuals don't do a good job for ten days without meat! After Montenegro finished speaking, everyone talked about it.

"What kind of fist is it with you, is it useful?" Miron asked again.

"Do you want to wait a minute, we'll be together and see if I can still throw you again? Sweat more now, you can shed less blood in the future, on the battlefield, it is all real swords and real guns, if you win, you will be knighted for meritorious service, and if you are defeated, your head will be gone. If you are willing to endure hardships together, stay, if you are unwilling, I can report to the above and transfer you to another new barracks to drink porridge! Montenegro shouted.

When everyone heard this, they all fell silent and stopped giggling. Instructor Sun said: "I fought ten battles with Zhao Guo and cut off four heads with my own hands. Now it's a fourth-level non-changer. What's the benefit of not being a knight? Ten hectares of fertile land, four officials and servants. Are you willing to cut off the enemy's head and replace it with your own field or house, or are you willing to lose your own head? ”

When everyone listened, they seemed to see Liangtian Meizhai beckoning to them. They all agreed: "We want to be knighted for meritorious service." We want our own land! ”

"Good! To cut off the enemy's head, you must first be stronger than the enemy! You have to train harder than the enemy, otherwise everything is. If you don't want to endure hardship, stand up now, I don't want to be soft here! Sun Meng roared loudly.

The crowd immediately straightened up, and no one walked out of the queue.
