Chapter 454: Reviewing the Xishan Jianrui Battalion
Li Guolou led the team to live in the Xishan Jianrui Battalion for a few days, and more than 1 long husband, the servant ran in for a few days, so that they can also be used as alternate soldiers, when they are in danger, the difference between the long husband and the servant is that the long man performs well, and gives the opportunity to eat military salary, there are many homeless people, as long as there are no tattoos, the strong body, the examiner Fan Dahui has been accommodated, a total of more than 6 long husbands, this servant is originally to serve the labor service, most of the people in the Gyeonggi area have a skill, like a horse herd, a cowherd, a chariot groom, There are also more than 6 servants, and Dahui treats them equally, and does not let the servants work in vain, and gives them 5 yuan per day
This benevolent act made Master Fan win the praise of the servants, and he could also make money for his family to serve in labor, and this time he went to Lanzhou on duty, and some of the servants also wanted to be soldiers, and they were impulsive, and they were all looking forward to seeing the escort Li Guolou in addition to training
The drummers on the drum cart at the main entrance of the barracks beat the big drums, every time they beat it, it was shocking, and the drummers behind it were colorful, and there were musicians such as the gong, the gong, and the grate, and the scene was magnificent, and thousands of soldiers of the Jianrui battalion on the big playground lined up in a phalanx to greet Li Guolou and his party, so that Li Guolou changed color, and he was not the minister of the Qincha, why did Zhang Xuefei receive him so grandly
Li Guolou pointed ahead and asked, "Why are you killing the little brother?"
"Hey, my brother is also a good-looking person, how can I let you be beautiful and let you see our Xishan Jianrui nutrition and education soldiers, no worse than your soldiers, Lord Li will bring a batch to win glory for my brother no matter what" Dutong Zhang Xuefei said earnestly, grabbed Li Guolou's hand and asked him to review Xishan Jianrui nutrition and education soldiers first
Raising soldiers, also called raising surplus soldiers, is not a rich surplus soldiers, is the reserve force of the Eight Banners soldiers, should be a reserve soldier, there is a certain amount of silver per month, but there is no housing, there is a certain age limit for raising soldiers, 1 to 17 years old, the Eight Banners soldiers are in the barracks for generations, when the child grows to the age of ten, it will be the age of raising soldiers, that is, you can go to earn your share of the silver, but this has to go through hard work and certain external conditions, when the flag tests the raising soldiers, because the number of admission places is small, and there are many children, so in addition to the child's own conditions, it is necessary to combine the child's family populationGenerally speaking, families with children in difficulty will be sympathetic and hired by their own clans, and the nurturing soldiers are of a certain age, that is, 1 to 17 years old, if the child has exceeded the age of 17 and has not yet become a nurturing soldier, then he has to cross the level of raising soldiers and directly examine the forward
Dutong Zhang Xuefei is so sincere to Li Guolou, he just wants Li Guolou to cultivate him, recruit a group of nurturing soldiers to enter the martial arts hall to train into a generation of soldiers, he also knows that the soldiers of the Eight Banners are stubborn, and it is always easy for people to keep up with the needs of the times, and it is also the wish of the soldiers of the Eight Banners to learn the military system of the Chu Army first, and then envy the courage of the martial arts to pioneer the spirit
Is the martial arts hall good or not, after visiting and studying, everyone suddenly opened up, it turns out that modern warfare is to talk about cultural knowledge, warfare not only requires the coordination of various arms of the military, but also requires a large number of officers with command and combat ability, can Zhang Xuefei not be in a hurry, Chu army, Huai army, The Hunan army has become a strong soldier, the Han soldiers are strong, it is a big threat to the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and it is also a serious threat to the treatment of the soldiers of the Eight Banners, as well as the future reform of the army, the system has been changed all over again, and then if it is changed, how can the soldiers of the Eight Banners have the living space for the soldiers, so the soldiers must also be vigorous, and a large number of officers can come out of the soldiers to have the right to speak in the army, the survival of the fittest, and the Darwinian theory of evolution, he has also learned that it makes sense, and it is necessary to learn to take it, long live
Li Guolou's face was full of embarrassment, eating other people's mouths is short, taking people's hands short, and living in the Xishan Jianrui Camp with more than 2 people, although it is to give money, but always to give face to the master, helpless to say: "Lord Inspector, my group of people marching and training are all voluntary, they must bear the hardship, they can bear the cold, and it is very hard to fly sand and stones all the way to Lanzhou, not ordinary people can bear it, you see······"
"Sons, are you afraid of hardship?" Zhang Xuefei shouted at the hundreds of soldiers in front of him who were armed with spears and big knives, where can grandma bear suffer, he didn't have a pair of suede boots for the officers here, and the heavy cotton coat was the winter coat that the soldiers of the Eight Banners dreamed of, not to mention the style Mauser gun, most of his soldiers used flintlock pistols
"Don't be afraid of hardship, don't be tired, don't be afraid of death", the immature homonym has not changed, and hundreds of nurturing soldiers burst out with an earth-shattering roar
"Okay, good, good," Li Guolou nodded frequently at a group of hairy children in front of him, and the country hoped for the future in front of each phalanx, stopping for a long time to inspect each phalanx, and returning to the glorious days of the minister, as if he had not been demoted, and the officers were respectful to him
In the passionate march, drumming, people and horses followed the dense footsteps into the Jianrui camp of the West Mountain, and marched towards the various camps, the West Mountain is a branch of the Taihang Mountain, and the ancient name is "the head of the Taihang Mountain", also known as the small Qingliang Mountain, just like the Tengjiao python, from the west, the arch guards the Beijing Division, so the ancients called it "the right arm of Shenjing"
Xishan Jianrui Battalion is built by the mountain, occupies the entire west side of the West Mountain, the south side is a watchtower, connected with the watchtower, the military town, thinking that the Eight-Nation Coalition Army invaded Beijing, the division did not go to attack the Xishan Jianrui Battalion, everyone's well water does not violate the river water, it takes time and days
Because the Jianrui battalion is divided into left and right wings, there is a wing commander in charge of the east and west four banners, the official position, the third product lives in the eight banners, and there are about 16 rooms in the large quadrangle courtyard in front of the eight banners. The red top or red flower top is mainly based on the victory of the army in peacetime, and Zhang Xuefei usually does not live in the barracks, but lives in the barracks of the Beijing Division, and all things are in charge of the two wing commanders, which is also a rule and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, not to give the main general too much power, only to honor and status, wartime dispatch is issued by the imperial court, and the official seal is withdrawn after the war, and the official seal is withdrawn, and Dorobelle Zaicheng also has the title of the commander, and he rarely goes to the barracks, and the rank and power are two different things
In the barracks, there are watchtowers one by one, specially training officers and soldiers to climb cloud ladders, siege ponds, skills, tactics, and Jianrui battalions are divided into two wings, the left wing has four flags inlaid with yellow, white, inlaid white, and blue, and the right wing has four flags, the right wing has four banners, fourteen watchtowers, eighteen three-story watchtowers, and two five-story watchtowers on the right wing, ten four-story watchtowers, and 24 three-story watchtowers for training officers and soldiers to climb the ladder and climb the city
Li Guolou and others came to the south gate at the foot of the mountain, and paid homage to the city gate, and above the tall city tower, Qianlong's imperial pen inscription was written with the words "Weixuan Barrier".
In the city, first there is the urn city, and then there is a wide martial arts field, and there are a row of Jianrui battalion sergeants, holding a cloud ladder and waiting for the commander to review the martial arts field, built according to the mountain, stretching the west mountain is its natural barrier, the north, southeast, and three sides are open and flat, so that the field of vision is natural, psychologically feel that the regimental city is very high
The diameter of this oval city is only 5 meters from east to west, 4 meters from north to south, and the height of the city is 11 meters
The sergeants of the Jianrui battalion performed the skills of attacking the city and pulling out the village, more than a dozen sergeants set up a ladder, holding a big knife, a spear, a shield, a military flag, a shout of killing, climbing the ladder at a speed, flying a lot, the snow mountain lion flag was inserted in the watchtower, the sergeants stood in the watchtower, waving swords, guns, and military flags to greet the commanders
Li Guolou and a group of officers watched the performance and nodded in approval, only skilled and brave and brave soldiers can climb the watchtower, although it is a performance, but it can also be seen that the actual combat level of the sergeant, Li Guolou gave two wings in charge of daily drills to praise, untied his belt, and gave them two American-made Colt revolvers, he can't do it now, these soldiers still rely on him to snort, and will not ask him unreasonably to ask for unreasonable demands, soldiers will not be killed, and ask him to ask for a gun, that is human nature
The two wing commanders had a light on their faces, and they worked hard to command the exercise, and they had to make a big gain, and the "guns" could be put on the table to talk about things, and the officers in the squad were all sighing that the sergeants of the Jianrui battalion did not have good guns, and the names of the Mauser guns were mentioned by the officers again and again
In a burst of laughter, a group of officers climbed the steps of the horse road and climbed the regimental city, here is the place where the Jianrui cloud ladder battalion performs, the layout is unique, the building is magnificent and magnificent, the south of the regimental city is on the martial arts floor, and the sergeant who climbed the city tower meets with the appropriate talent
Li Guolou looked around and looked forward to being forced into a corner again, and said helplessly: "Lord Guardian, then leave a hundred guns."
"Thank you, Lord Li", except for the commander Zhang Xuefei who thanked him, the other officers of the Jianrui Battalion had already knelt on one leg and saluted to express their gratitude to Li Guolou
Zhang Xuefei was quite happy and excited, his palms kept squeezing, Li Guolou gave him face like this, this friend made a military attaché, he wanted to see the face of the civilian official, and the logistics and supplies were controlled by the civilian official, if the Qing official Li Guolou entered the military aircraft department to be his direct boss, what a happy thing it would be, and I hope that Li Guolou will be powerful, then his good life will come
"Well, I'll pay homage to the king of Horqin County later," Li Guolou stood above the watchtower, overlooking the Shisheng Temple in the distance, where it was the temple of the king of Horqin County, and came here to always remember the national heroes of the Qing Dynasty
Overlooking the West City Gate Tower, the martial arts field, the school horse field and the stele pavilion of the Shisheng Temple, looking at a column of martial arts field, the flag, the sound of hunting horses' hooves, the soldiers bending their bows and waiting to go, the roar of the moving scene, the Ruijian Camp Martial Arts Hall is the city, the palace, the pavilion, the watchtower, the teaching field is mixed into one, the armament building complex can be described as a treasure of architectural art, Li Guolou raised the telescope to look at the distant forest, the vast sea of smoke, the shadow of the blue shadow, the scenery is beautiful, the winter afterglow reflects Li Guolou, the scenery is poured by the scenery of the West Mountain, the wandering nature is strong, and the music does not know how to return, and the poetry is great
Taking advantage of the joy, he splashed ink in the temple and waved it to show the peerless style of scientific exploration flowers
The poem "Winter Habitat in the West Mountain" says: The soul surrounds the West Mountain, travels in the sea of clouds, a forest, withered roots, dripping ice, hanging snow, the mountain supports the red glow, the sound of the army at noon, the sound of the court, the shade of the majesty, the vast monarchs, if they are interested in the watchtower, accompanied by Guochang
"Lord Li's poems are becoming more and more flavorful, the artistic conception is lofty, the inscription is lofty and noble, and the majesty is imposing, and the officials admire it," the staff Fan Dahui read aloud and was greatly admired, this is an improvisation, intentional, and skillful, who dares to slander Tanhualang, who is not coming from the right way, come to make a song "Winter Habitat West Mountain", no one here can surpass Li Guolou
Most of the officers are old and coarse, and they don't understand the merits of poetry, and they blindly shout a few times behind them, "Good poems, good poems, really good poems."
But the counselors and staff are all learned and talented, and they are stationed in the mountains every day, and they have not made such a poem, and they are full of emotion, and they keep nagging, and they met Wenqu Xing, "Xia Guan only learned today that there are mountains outside the mountain, and there are humanities and music stars outside the mountain, and it is nothing more than that."
"Master Li is amazing, and I say from the bottom of my heart that we have been stationed here for generations, alas, alas, alas," one of the staff members touched the scene and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and really cried
Battalion officer Wang Qing felt irritable and tongue-in-cheek when he heard this, where could he change his temperament, and after holding it for so long, he suddenly broke out and thought that he had said to the point, raised his eyebrows, and said loudly: "Counselor Yang, you are not right, Tanhualang was originally a Wenqu star, and "Winter Habitat in the West Mountain" can touch Master Wan's heart, and the poem is like Liu Yong's poems, all the ladies in the world cry for the loss of a confidant, which is to describe it."
Master Wan didn't dare to cry all of a sudden, poor Baba looked at Li Guolou, the others were also embarrassed, afraid of touching Li Guolou's tiger beard, Li Guolou was not angry, patted the battalion official Wang Qing on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Wang Yingguan, you are also wrong, this official confidante is not so many, there are really a few people in the brothel who are introduced to you."
"Hahahaha" burst into laughter in the Shisheng Temple, startling a group of crows perched on the ancient trees, and the group of crows made a croaking noise, as if to denounce and disturb them, and the human beings were overwhelming, and the black crows circled the empty temple, and above the temple, was that the national hero Zeng Greenqin brought Yin soldiers from the underworld
