Wang Youzhen accepted the eldest sons and grandsons of various ancestral halls, and asked them to go back to get some changes of clothes, and prepare to follow them to a place.

After saying this, none of the eldest sons and grandchildren went back.

It's not that these eldest sons and grandsons don't listen to him, Wang Youzhen smiled helplessly and forgot one thing.

The eldest grandson of these poor Yanding families, and not the eldest sons and grandsons of bureaucratic squires, where did they get to change clothes.

For many years, I only wore this coarse linen clothes, and when I broke a hole, I patched it, and it was already covered with patches.

Since he didn't need to go back to get a change of clothes, and it also saved Wang Youzhen time, he took his six eldest sons and grandsons and his five brothers to walk in the direction of the water spinning factory.

Hydro-spinning mill.

On the wide surface of Weishui next to it, there is a suspension bridge that I don't know when it was built.

It is mainly built of thick hemp rope and wooden planks, and two arm-thick hemp ropes run from the west bank of Weishui to the east bank of Weishui, and thick planks are laid underneath.

Wang Youzhen led eleven people onto the rickety suspension bridge, stepped on the saline-alkali ground on the east bank of Weishui, and shouted: "Run forward." ”

Wang Youzhen took the lead in running in front, and the remaining eleven people followed behind, running quickly in one direction.

To the east of Weishui, there is a large river that runs through the entire Laizhou Prefecture from south to north, and this big river flows through more places than Weishui, and its name is Glue.

There is a gap of more than 20 miles between Weishui and glue.

There is a vast area of saline land in between.

Because these saline lands cannot grow food, not even grass, they are all ownerless wasteland.

Wang Youzhen was already preparing for the military academy when he was building a water-powered spinning mill.

Let Grandpa arrange for a few masons to build some thatched huts in the middle of Weishui and glue.

The distance between these thatched huts and the Weishui suspension bridge is almost a dozen miles, just enough to train a basic infantry drill.

Five-kilometer off-road.

When Wang Youzhen came over, he was holding an hourglass that his second uncle bought from a merry store, and he carefully calculated the time.

The passing grade for the five-kilometer cross-country is 23 minutes, and the time for the troops is generally 19 to 20 minutes, with 17 minutes being excellent.

This is longer than the 5-kilometer cross-country, and the standard set by Wang Youzhen for these future martial arts officers is about half a stick of incense.

Although the five-kilometer cross-country is a basic infantry discipline, it is extremely important for soldiers.

Not to train soldiers how fast they can run, but to improve their overall physical fitness.

On the battlefield, physical fitness is life for soldiers.

Wang Youzhen once saw a record, that is, about the comparison of the physical fitness of Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers during World War II.

Due to various factors such as training and nutrition, the Chinese soldiers could only charge once, and they were so tired that they had no strength.

The soldiers of the Wa Kingdom were often able to charge three or four times, and the difference was simply shocking.

The difference in physical fitness alone, 100,000 Japanese soldiers is enough to fight against 300,000 or 400,000 Chinese soldiers.

This is still the era of hot weapons, and physical fitness is more important in the era of cold weapons.

Although these eleven teenagers are all from poor salt backgrounds, they usually eat very poorly, and it is good that they can barely eat enough.

But in addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays, they work in the salt fields, and they are not pampered like a pig.

The overall physical fitness is still good, and I ran a five-kilometer cross-country for the first time, and I didn't get tired and fell halfway.

Running to the military academy, which was so simple that there were only a few thatched houses, Wang Youzhen and the others had a fragrance in their noses, still with the smell of meat.

Not far away, more than a dozen thatched houses are lined up side by side on the saline ground.

There was a simple fence around it, and in the middle of the fence was a woman cooking porridge in a thatched stove.

The five brothers behind Wang Youzhen and the six eldest sons of the long house didn't see what was boiling in the pot, and they had already guessed it just by the taste.

It is supposed to be a porridge cooked with chicken mixed with fish and poured into white rice.

Not to mention the other eleven people who have never eaten and seen, Wang Youzhen, who ran all the way, kept swallowing saliva when he smelled this smell.

Wang Youzhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I specially let Cao Sanniang cook the meat porridge, let go of the belly and eat as much as you want." ”

When the five brothers and the six eldest sons and grandsons heard this, they cheered and hurried to the fence wall to wait.

Instead of rushing to the stove room like a pig grabbing food, he sat on a long hardwood table in the middle of the fence yard and waited for Wang Youzhen to sit on the table.

Wang Youzhen saw their rather disciplined scene, and couldn't help but nodded, very satisfied with their behavior.

The fragrant meat porridge rushed over one by one, and even the hungry stomachs of the eleven people were 'gurgling', Wang Youzhen didn't pick up the bowl to drink the porridge, they still didn't dare to move.

Wang Youzhen picked up the stoneware bowl and began to drink the porridge, and the other eleven people couldn't wait to drink it in a big gulp.

Wang Youzhen only drank two bowls of porridge, nodded to Cao Sanniang, who was squatting in the stove room and drinking porridge, and turned around and walked to his own thatched house.

Compile the last bit of teaching material about these future Lecture Martial Arts officers.

Wang Youzhen came to a thatched hut with only one hardwood table and a hardwood bed.

There are stacks of mulberry paper on the hardwood Eight Immortals table, which are the modern lecture hall textbooks that Wang Youzhen has sorted out for several months.

The textbook is mainly divided into six major courses.

The exemplary order refers to the infantry drill code, the shooting model, and the important order in the formation.

The six courses are divided into basic tactics, military system, weapons, city building, transportation, and topography.

At present, the world is in the stage when the firearms army has just emerged, and there are not many tactics of various firearms, let alone this systematic training of modern firearms officers.

With these drills and tutorials, Wang Youzhen was able to use the brainchild of the West for hundreds of years to reduce the dimension of the Manchu Qing and Western armies.

The textbook for the lecture hall has been compiled, and Wang Youzhen is working on the last mathematics textbook.

The five brothers and the six eldest sons of the eldest family were literate, but they were too weak in mathematics and needed to be further deepened.

The foundation of all disciplines in modern times, even those liberal arts, is also mathematics.

Not to mention the military disciplines used to fight wars, not only to calculate a large number of ballistic ranges, but also a large number of cumbersome reserve military supplies.

Wang Youzhen attaches great importance to these future martial arts officers, and it is also the beginning of everything.

It is necessary not only to do a lot of training in physical fitness, but also to equip them with knowledge such as mathematics to become real officers.

The knowledge in this math textbook is not difficult, it is about the same as the standard of junior high school students, but it is enough for them.

There was only one last point left in the mathematics textbook, and Wang Youzhen finished writing the last few paragraphs and put down the brush in his hand.

Walk out of the thatched hut and begin a formal drill for the sprouts of the military academy.
