Limited to the problem of resources and manpower, there are only so many cannons that can operate at the same time in the army. The 12-pound mountain grenade could continue to think about building more for defense. When it fires shotguns, it works better than rifles in the hands of poorly trained recruits. The power is considerable, the rate of fire is high, and it is not too heavy (the gun weighs no more than 250GK). A donkey or 3-4 people can be dragged and run. The defensive positions placed in the camp and by the Wenlan River are just right.

The new army lined up outside the city.

Ma Qianzhuo stood in front of them in his 87-style training suit. With his chest held high, he looked arrogant, trying to make himself look like a soldier in the movie.

These former good citizens of the Ming Dynasty are now throwing themselves into this armed force without hesitation for the sake of money and rations, and no one can figure out the origin of this armed force, and they have no guilt of betraying the imperial court as a "traitor", nor can they see the passion for making a revolution by exposing the rod, and truly embodying the glorious tradition of "being a soldier and eating food" of the old Chinese traditional army.

More than 600 shaved heads still looked a little uncomfortable with each other. The new military uniforms had not yet been made, and they were dressed in hand-sewn cotton cloth for training uniforms by the women of the Bairen Commune. Naturally, it doesn't look imposing. With the exception of a 10-member squad equipped with standard muskets, everyone else was replaced with sticks of equal weight and stones tied to them.

There is no way, the logistics are complaining for days, the paper pattern of the military uniform has not been made, and the equipment is not a word. There are a lot of guns in the military industry, but school guns are very slow. Paper-wrapped cartridges also require manpower - the 100% firearms of the nineteenth century will not be seen for at least a month. It stands to reason that Xi Yaya, as the future commander of the training battalion of the new army, should personally preside over the training, but he is sick again and resting, and it is estimated that he is lying down on the farm to recuperate -- compared to the Navy's Fengcheng Hotel, the army has chosen the Nanhai Farm as a place of corruption, where the environment is good, the food is sufficient, and there are often some good things that are not available in the canteen to try -- most of the men and horses of the military group are now either on duty or going around to inspect the fortification of the migrant workers. As acting chief of the General Staff, Ma Qianzhu summoned the New Army training battalion and began training.

This is somewhat related to the differences at the last army building meeting. For the first time, there was a major disagreement between the Executive Committee and the Military Group on the organization and personnel arrangements of the New Army. The Executive Committee wanted a civilian to assume the post of Chief of the General Staff so that the Executive Committee could strengthen its control over the military Liliang - if the indigenous military was difficult to trust for the time being, the military of the Traverser might not be able to trust forever. The military team hopes to be served by He Ming or Xi Yaya. One of these two is the oldest, and the other is the core figure of the military group. Of course, these two men consciously declined the nomination -- it was not easy to act as coordinators between the Young Zhuang faction of the Executive Committee and the Military Commission.

The Young Zhuang faction lacked the support of the heavyweights of the Military Commission and lost the battle for the chief of the General Staff. Zuihou decided to appoint Ma Qianzhu, chairman of the Planning Commission, as acting chief of the General Staff -- the establishment of the new army is in ruins, and everything needs to be coordinated by various departments, and it is more convenient for the personnel of the Planning Commission to take up the post. This is acceptable to both parties.

Ma Qianzhuo didn't know much about the troops in the 19th century, and he didn't know how the party trained the army in line to shoot. But he at least knew that no matter what era the elite army was, there were always some characteristics that remained the same - a disciplined warrior was an enemy's nightmare. Before the start of the training of the thermal weapons detachment, the physical, queue and discipline training may last for a month. For these Ming people who were still eating and waiting to die a few days ago, his only authority is a "chief". Ma Qianzhu's entire military experience was a three-month military training in college.

Fortunately, the military group still retained a few veterans as instructors, and transferred some militia members from Yanchang Village -- their cohort training was completed under the personal training of Bei Wei and others, which is at the highest level at present.

There's no trick to physical training, it's just a traversal of the magic of exercise: trail running. However, several veterans thanked Bu Min and said that this glorious task will be handed over to you, Chief of General Staff.

Ma Qianzhu knew that he was still not convinced by the chief of the general staff, and several soldiers wanted to see his jokes.

If there are conditions, you must go up, and if you don't have conditions, you must also go up! Chairman Mao's words echoed in Ma Qianzhuo's heart: In order to ensure the party's absolute leadership over the army, no, and the executive committee's over the army, he must persist in showing this group of people -- intellectuals are not easy to mess with.

With such ambitions, Ma Qianzhu carried his empty musket with full of energy, and on his back was a backpack that was claimed to be full of ammunition but actually only stones, and announced: Keep in formation, bring weapons, go to the logistics department to get a pair of straw sandals, and cross the country for 5 kilometers!

The 5km off-road is a one-way trip, in other words, you have to come back on your own, but there is no speed limit. After a month, the whole team had to run back. He firmly believed that for a nascent army, an orderly escape was more important than an orderly attack. Of course, a large amount of exercise requires sufficient physical strength. Ma Qianzhu took advantage of his position as the head of the Planning Commission to get the agricultural department to come up with some more dried meat and salted fish to supply the new army, and the grain was enough.

After three days, Ma Qianzhu's foot had worn out, and he realized that if he ran with socks on again, he would soon have no socks to wear, so he quickly changed to a footcloth - he only hoped that the calluses would grow soon.

At the time of the break, he ordered everyone to lie in a row, and he lay down at the head of the line.

Many people wondered that Weishenme had to rest so neatly, but they also reluctantly obeyed the order.

Bai Yu, the former commander of the armored corps, walked over:

"Commissar Ma, do you really want to do this?"

"Let's go!" Ma Qianzhuo looked like a revolutionary martyr on the execution ground.

"Well, I have to explain, I've been out of the army for years—"

"I trust you." Ma Qianzhuo closed his eyes, lying down and being beaten, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

"Actually, Commissar Ma, you don't have to do this, we PLA have never done this, and the soldiers of the United States don't have this kind of work."

"You have too many words, I am the chief of the General Staff, obey orders!" Ma Qianzhuo had a resolute look on his face.

"Okay, I'm scared of you." White Feather shrugged. Thinking about what kind of thing this is, it is no wonder that people say that intellectuals have a lot of twists and turns, and they love to pick books.

"I can declare, don't blame me if something happens." Bai Yu said as he climbed into the tractor, started it, and drove all the way to the crowd. No, not to roll people. Just a little bit, sticking to everyone's heads, carefully hanging and blocking it.

The roaring steel monster creaked across the ground and immediately stirred up the people lying on the ground. Someone ran away.

"Lie down!" He commanded loudly, "No one is allowed to move." ”

Even though he shouted loudly, the crawlers that creaked and fell straight to his head were still terrifying enough to vibrate when they ran over his head not far away. Sweating all over his body - Ma Qianzhu himself was not absolutely at ease with Bai Yu, but he had to fight when it came to the end. How can I control this group of people after I can't show my courage?

When the shadow of the tractor turned back to the garage, he immediately ordered the people who had just gotten up in violation of the rules to get out of the queue. They had to stand in the sun for an extra hour and carry their muskets and carry their full gear. Looking at their eyes, he was glad that he hadn't started shooting training yet.

Ma Qianzhu's tractor training method spread everywhere after a few hours, and someone unceremoniously gave him the nickname Ma SS, and Du Wen was even more distressed, and specially called to ask Ma Committee member Weishenme to adopt the Nazi fascist training method? and said "You let me down so much". According to Tintin's newspaper, Ms. Du Wen also shed tears on the spot...... The next day, Ma Qianzhuo came together and found that he had become a lace figure in the tabloids.

Whether it's lace or not, Ma Qianzhu, who has already embarked on the road of no return, has no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere. Fortunately, the specific training of queues, design, military language, bomb throwing, etc., is still the responsibility of the original veterans, and it is really difficult to continue to rely on a "militia training manual" alone.

A few days after the military training began, it was the same as Ma Qianzhu's past university military training, and the training was carried out in a queue in a class. Although the military group agreed on the direction of unit training based on the 19th-century company-battalion level column and horizontal formation, they have no experience and no information on how the European armies were trained in the 19th century. Therefore, the basic cohort training is still carried out according to the PLA code.

Thanks to the experience of training in the queue in Yanchang Village, and the on-site demonstration of the militia in Yanchang Village, the training was easier than expected. Ma Qianzhu insisted that everyone shout passwords in Mandarin during training, rather than any translation.

"The official army of the Ming Dynasty also commanded in official dialect, and it is not necessarily necessary that the Sichuan soldiers have to be commanded in Sichuan dialect when they come."

The instructors naturally used sticks to let the recruits experience the essence of Mandarin as soon as possible, and the coaching field was filled with shouts every day. These peasants, who were forced to make a living to join the army, were woken up by a loudspeaker at 5 a.m. and driven to the coaching ground. The deputy masters in charge of training, the "chiefs", were all fierce and vicious, armed with sticks. They were so unintelligible that they spoke, but he insisted that people understand him. Whoever doesn't react to his password or reacts incorrectly will be punished. Gradually, these people who have never made a fuss understand what it means to be left and right, and understand the meaning of the password. Then they were forced to walk in a row of nine. How high should you lift your feet with each step, how long you should step out, and how should you wave your arms...... It's so awkward to walk like this. The officers and soldiers have also seen it: except for the drill on the school field, they will line up to advance and retreat in circles, and they have never seen this trouble.
