Min Yuanzhong hurriedly agreed, he didn't expect so many things in the camp before he became a Chinese officer, the previous training was once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and now it has been changed to all-day training, and the trained flag soldiers all live in the camp built in shacks, and they are not allowed to go home if they have nothing to do, and there is a flag team every seven days for a day off, and when the farmers are busy, they will consider giving the flag soldiers all the holidays to grab food, and now they can't mention this.

The usual management is quite complicated, from getting up to training and eating, there must be rules and regulations, including camp hygiene, all flag troops are actually used to it at will, but the person in front of him who tried 100 households is obviously not a general, not only the roads in 100 households have been repaired, inside and outside the house and everywhere in the village are cleaned every day, the whole 100 households have a new look, and people feel cool when they walk in it.

In the barracks, it is required to be one level higher than that of 100 households, and the shacks are much taller and more spacious than those of the private households, and the beds inside and outside are neatly placed, and they are required to be cleaned every day, and the inside and outside of the camp are also cleaned every day.

Min Yuanqi smiled and pointed to the people in front of him: "Look at ourselves, I wear hundreds of official robes, Han Zongqi also wears official robes, some of you wear war jackets, all of them are shabby, some wear blue robes, some wear green cloth stickers, some people wear round necks, most of them wear short brown, most of the robes are torn, patches are stacked with patches, many people have untrimmed hair, messy like a chicken nest, some have full beards, most of them never wipe their teeth, and they walk in front of people and talk with a mouthful of stink. In the battalion, personal hygiene is to emphasize the appearance of soldiers, have spirit, temperament and clothing, and have the same sense of glory as soldiers, and secondly, to prevent the spread of the epidemic, everyone eats and lives together, one person does not pay attention to hygiene and gets sick, and then passes on others, without waiting for the bandits to fight, we ourselves will fall ill first, if we can be cured, just spend some money, if we die on a group of people will not be wronged? ”

Everyone looked at each other, everyone in front of them was indeed like this, the military households in the guard station could not eat enough food, and there was a lot of labor, how could they have the money to make new clothes every year, and they had no opportunity to pay attention to personal hygiene, their hair was unkempt, and their teeth were not only yellowed but also damaged in many places, which was caused by not doing protection and eating coarse grains all year round.

"The subordinates will go and discuss with everyone in the next meeting." Min Yuanzhong was quite convinced, and at the same time he also knew that a large amount of cloth was purchased to make military robes after dyeing, and each person might make two bodies, and the daily training could be cleaned and replaced.

"Every man does his best work." Min Yuanqi nodded to everyone and smiled slightly, everything in front of him felt like he was on the right track.

……

"One, two, three, four!"

"One, two, three, four!"

Not far away is the sound of trumpets one after another, when the genius is just twisted, there will be a large number of soldiers in the barracks, all of them are wearing hats, their hair is combed quite neatly, and their beards are trimmed, Min Yuanqi cannot stipulate that soldiers are not allowed to grow beards, unless men in this era are weak and the beard does not grow long, otherwise without exception, they will grow beards, and when they reach a certain age, they will be ridiculed by others if they have no beard, which is much more serious than the sissy evaluation of later generations.

In an era, it can't be too detached from the background of the times, but Min Yuanqi ordered everyone to only have a short beard, that is, no chin, only a short beard under the lips, so that the whole person looks much neater and more capable.

Half of the people have already changed their robes, and the plan to change the military uniforms after ten days of hard work has only been carried out halfway, which is already the reason why Min Yuanqi is not short of silver and works resolutely.

At the same time, pigs, sheep, and chickens were bought, and several thousand stones of grain were bought, more than 1,000 stones of refined grain, more than 3,000 stones of coarse grain, and more than 6,000 stones of grain for a hundred households.

The reason why Min Yuanqi bought grain on a large scale was that in addition to the more than 400 trained banner soldiers in the barracks who needed a large amount of grain, there were still more than 1,000 people who needed daily rations, those who worked on the construction site needed four liters of grain per day, ordinary women labored four liters of coarse grain every day, men in the prime of life were half thick and thin, craftsmen were supported by four liters of fine grain, and Chen De, the Li brothers, and Shen Yong and others could already support six liters of fine grain every day.

Under the heavy reward is to stimulate people's initiative to do things, every day there are people watching on the salt pond construction site, there are more than 300 people and nearly 400 people working in the salt pond, and there are six or seven hundred people digging new ponds every day, ten days down, has dug out two main salt ponds and supporting ponds, and then have to dig seven, fortunately, there are more and more 100 households who come to hear the news, and the three hundred households here will have food to receive, the news has already spread throughout the entire Yunti Pass, not only the flag army and the rest of the people themselves came to find something to do, There are also a lot of households in nearby market towns and villages, but Min Yuanqi has long had something to say, giving priority to hiring the craftsmen of the guard, the flag army, Yu Ding, and then the craftsmen and men of the people's households, and then they will use the sturdy military women, and the women of the people's households will use less, and only select a small number of people who are clever in tailoring robes or shoes, and stay to make military robes and military boots.

Because the coarse summer cloth bought is the primary color, the cheap cloth in these years is the primary color, that is, the off-white tone, which needs to be printed and dyed before it will show various shades.

After Wanli, the government did not care much about the material and color of the robe, and the Jiangnan style was open, which was also reflected in the style and color of the robe, not only some people wore blue, green and cyan, but also some people wore red or yellow, and there were all kinds of strange styles and colors.

Jiangbei to Shandong folk customs are more conservative, most people like to wear blue, there are many places still like to wear primary colors, after all, save money and trouble, the level of the dyeing workshop at that time is different, the color of the dyeing is uneven, and the time to keep is not necessarily, if you want to save trouble or wear the primary color is better.

It is also recorded in the books of the missionaries at that time that the men of many state capitals in the Ming Dynasty wore gray-white primary color robes, which were generous and elegant, and treated people politely, which made people sigh that they were extraordinarily civilized.

But the missionary may have seen city dwellers or the merchant class, and if he had gone to the people to meet the poorest peasants, the record would have been very different.

Min Yuanqi wanted to use the primary color to make military robes, but according to the customs of Jiangbei, the primary colors were not very festive, and it may be thankless, so he had to invite a printing and dyeing master from Guannan County, and the cloth was dyed and dyed on the side of the military camp nearby.

Jiangbei is not rich enough, and the dyeing industry has its own secrets, several hired printing and dyeing masters have their own methods, dyeing slow cloth raw materials are insufficient, although many women were called to be tailors, more than ten days to make half of the military robes, the progress is really slow enough.

When Wang Mingyuan heard the running horn, more than 400 soldiers had just finished five laps, and their heads were sweating, and from a distance, the heads of this group of people seemed to be holding clouds on their heads.

Many people let out exclamations, many young flag soldiers were full of jealousy and envy in their eyes, they were also young and strong men, and they became elite flag soldiers with six liters of fine food a day, but they were still digging the ground outside, but they were a few days late for registration, and they were not in Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding's hundred households, and they were not picked up if they were estranged.

The rumored next recruitment is nowhere to be seen, and what can be seen is the daily drill of the flag army.

This school field is more than a mile of road, every morning to get up and wash up first run five laps, and then rest for a while and then have breakfast, and then practice the formation, back and forth to change left and right, keep turning and turning again, just standing and turning posture is one after another hard practice.

Then practice the mandarin duck formation and the small three materials and other formations, and practice boxing, swords, and marksmanship in the afternoon in the form of squad confrontation.

Wang Mingyuan is an out-and-out talent, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's military books have also been read as idle books, he knows that the current military training method is left by Qi Jiguang, and Min Yuanqi seems to have added some of his own things, Wang Mingyuan doesn't quite understand.

When the soldiers were running and drilling, Wang Mingyuan's expression became quite complicated.

After more than ten days of hard work, these flag troops in front of them have changed from a mess of scattered sand in an uneven line, and now they have become elite divisions that turn the flag and change the formation, adding up to such a little time before and after, Min Yuanqi seems to be magical, turning the originally weak and useless flag army into what it is now, which is a miracle.

Wang Sanyi and Li Guoding and others, more than once boasted in public about Min Yuanqi's training method, with the opinion of these middle-aged military attachés, that is, the battalion of the famous generals of this dynasty may not be stronger than the banner army in front of them, and the military system of the guard post was abandoned two hundred years ago in this dynasty.

Even if only half of the cloth is printed and dyed, the newly cut military robe is quite eye-catching, even enviable.

Wang Mingyuan himself is wearing an ordinary long gown, wearing a square scarf, this robe is very symbolic, whether it is in a hundred villages or a city, whether it is a flag army or an officer, they must politely wave their hands to Wang Mingyuan, and the identity and status of the representative of Xiucai Xianggong are far from the officials of the hundred households.

At this time, the trained flag soldiers were even more dazzling. Their military robes are dyed crimson, the hem is very short, a bit like a troll, but the two sides are separated, the corners of the robe are shortened, the narrow robe has narrow sleeves, the waist is tied with a belt, and they wear a pure black soft hat on their heads during training, which is quite simple to cut, a bit like a folded scarf, if they don't train, they will wear a fan yang hat, which looks quite neat.

I have to say that the one-color robe is quite beautiful, especially the new military robe, which is cut with a unified ruler, the same style, and beautifully dyed, and it is very beautiful and dazzling to wear on a single flag army, not to mention that more than 200 people wear it, which is even more beautiful and dazzling.

In addition to the Red Army uniforms, each flag army still has two training uniforms, both in the morning and afternoon to train hard, sometimes at night training, generally training emergency assembly or in the camp to defend against the enemy at night, each training is inevitably crawling and rolling, the training uniform is not the appearance of an arrow robe, the upper body short robe and the lower body pants, easy to separate the pulp washing, there is no printing and dyeing, a few days of hard work by hundreds of women cut into nearly a thousand sets, each person two training uniforms have long been issued.
