Chapter 2 Captain Tuntian

Because of his meritorious service in resisting the Qiang people, Qin Hua was promoted from a commander to a captain in Tuntian.

Although the number of soldiers under his command has not increased, Captain Tuntian has independent authority.

The Han Dynasty was a centralized state, and not only did it have power in the central government, but even the army.

There were only a few local city defense troops, and the main forces of the Han Dynasty were all near Luoyang, Gyeonggi, so that a situation of strong cadres and weak branches was formed, and if there was a local rebellion, the central government could quickly send troops to suppress it.

Only in places bordering foreign races like Liangzhou will there be such a military rank as Tuntian Captain, and their main task is to resist foreign invasions.

In fact, there were great drawbacks in the military system of the Han Dynasty, only the central army had an army, and in case of war, the central army had to be dispatched, which was not only time-consuming, but also contributed to the scale of the rebellion.

For example, the Yellow Turban Rebellion that happened just now, if there are troops in the local area, even if it cannot be suppressed, the scale of the Yellow Turban can be controlled, so that it will not be like now, when it reaches Qin Hua's ears, the Yellow Turban Army has already become the climate.

However, Qin Hua is a traverser after all, he knows that the Yellow Turban will not last long, and what he has to do now is to prepare for what will happen after the Yellow Turban.

Because after Qin Hua, the Yellow Turban was just the beginning, and the real troubled times in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had not yet arrived.

Ma Teng is a member of the Qin family, and Qin Huang told Qin Hua about this before leaving home.

Although Ma Teng is a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, his family was poor in his early years, Qin Huang looked at Ma Teng as a talent, and he looked dignified, and he had a lot of funding for him in the early years, so Ma Teng has always been very grateful to the Qin family.

But even without this relationship, the relationship between Qin Hua and Ma Teng is very good.

After all, the two of them have resisted the Qiang people on the battlefield together and exterminated the bandits together, and this layer of love will not disappear.

Ma Teng joined the army a few years earlier than Qin Hua, but he only got the position of captain of Tuntian, I don't know if it's a coincidence, the positions of the two are next to each other.

The 1,000 men under Qin Hua were all his old subordinates, who had lost some of them in the last battle, but the county guards had already made up for it.

Because of the relationship between his old subordinates, it was much more convenient for Qin Hua to lead this team, because he was going to carry out large-scale training in the army.

During the Han Dynasty, in addition to the central army, local troops did not need to train troops, especially after Emperor Guangwu abolished the county army.

These troops were recruited from the civilian sector, and even if they were soldiers with equipment and were distributed, their combat effectiveness was very average.

This was also the policy formulated by the Han family in order to consolidate its own power.

Qin Hua first found a few centurions for a meeting and told them about his idea of training soldiers.

Although they were all their old subordinates, the centurions had little in favor.

This mainly involves the problem of food, the officials at the end of the Han Dynasty were corrupt, and half of the military rations in hand were good, and the soldiers were barely satisfied, so how could they have extra strength to train the troops.

Seeing this, Qin Hua couldn't force them to go to training, so he could only postpone the plan first.

The rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army continued, and the Yellow Turban Army was raging in the eight prefectures of Qing, Xu, You, Hebei, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Henan.

Although Emperor Han Ling was mediocre, he was also shocked when he encountered this situation.

He ordered the general He Jin to guard the Beijing division, Huangfu Song led the troops to fight, supplemented by Lu Zhi and Zhu Jun, and at the same time recruited volunteers from various states, and a big war was about to happen.

With his father's consent, Qin Hua decided that the Qin family would fund the materials so that the soldiers could eat and drink enough, so that they could officially carry out the training operation.

The Qin family is also a big family in Wuwei County, and Qin Hua's grandfather also served as the county guard of Wuwei County, and the local people obeyed him very much.

With the Qin family coming forward, the current county guard couldn't say anything, and acquiesced to Qin Hua's actions, as long as Qin Hua didn't ask for the military rations that were deducted, and didn't cause trouble, he did whatever he wanted.

With the delivery of the Qin family's supplies, the morale of all the soldiers was high, and they gladly accepted what Qin Hua said about the training.

In order to boost morale, a few sheep are sent every ten days, and the temptation of meat keeps these soldiers on their hands.

Because Qin Hua said that a competition would be held every ten days, and the best team would get meat.

The training prescribed by Qin Hua is not too difficult, but it is by no means simple.

Every morning is physical training, and this physical training is running, running around the Tuntian area under your jurisdiction, about nearly 20 kilometers.

The team that can finish the run at the specified time will get an extra thin piece of jerky for lunch, and although those who don't finish the run will not deduct their lunch, they will definitely be unwilling to see that others have meat to eat, but they don't.

So it only took three days, and basically they were able to complete the task within the specified time, and I have to say that the physique of these soldiers is really good.

In the afternoon, there was a training session on military physical boxing and weapons.

Qin Hua asked Wang Po and Meng Xin to make a set of boxing and marksmanship suitable for the army.

Although the moves are simple, they are very effective when used by many soldiers at the same time.

The rest of the time was left to the centurions.

Qin Hua knew that there was a reward for meat, and even if he didn't supervise it, those centurions would take the initiative to help him supervise the soldiers' training.

The game set up by Qin Hua is very simple.

The first is weightlifting, and the score is calculated based on the sum of the weights lifted by each person. The team that places first gets 10 points, and the team that finishes lasts gets 1 point.

Then there is the run, which is the same distance as usual, with the first team to finish all the races getting 10 points, and the last team getting 1 point.

Qin Hua designed this way to make the team more cohesive, so that they can help each other, rather than just pursuing their own rankings.

However, in order to take care of the emotions of the top few, Qin Hua agreed that the top ten soldiers would be able to enjoy the meat at night, and the same would be true for weightlifting events.

Since the first game, one hundred and twelve people have been able to eat in the evening, and eight of them have been given double portions of meat, and the morale of the entire barracks has been burning.

Originally, there was only one lap a day, but now all of them have become two, and the entire barracks is in full swing all day and night.

The things in Qin Hua's camp naturally attracted the attention of other troops, but without Qin Hua's strength, it was impossible for them to come up with so many materials to boost morale, so they could only give up helplessly.

However, Ma Teng relied on his relationship with Qin Huashu, hoping to let his troops join the competition every ten days to fight for the welfare of his soldiers.

However, Ma Teng's soldiers have just eaten every day, how can they have so much strength to exercise, so the rewards of the hundred-man team can't be grabbed at all, only among the personal rewards, there is one person on his side who can always get them.

After Qin Hua's soldiers and Ma Teng became acquainted, they often came over to eat, Qin Hua was afraid of affecting the practice of his soldiers, so he asked the Qin family to send some materials to Ma Teng's department, although it was not as good as Qin Hua's soldiers' treatment, but compared to other soldiers, their treatment was much better.
