Text Chapter 185 Military Heart 1
Sun Xing was careful, stepped forward and ordered him to take off his shirt, looked at his arms, and sure enough, he was red and swollen from his elbow to his shoulder. There is also some bruising in the muscles of the upper arm.
Yu Zhilong had already issued a military order that the wounded soldiers should be treated by a military medical officer without delay. Seeing that he was injured, he thought that Zhou Ji and other generals did not allow the soldiers to rest.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhilong turned his eyes to look at Zhou Ji, and Zhou Ji arched his hand and said: "It's not that the small ones are not allowed, but the brothers under him are unwilling to get into nutritional injuries, and they would rather continue to practice than rest." In fact, this matter is not unique to this team, and it has happened in various departments now. Everyone feels that they have a good day, and they are gritting their teeth and persevering. ”
Yu Zhilong knew that what Zhou Ji said was true. Zhao Shi and Fang Xue had specially told him that the soldiers had been training hard these days, and many people had sprained and bruised many of them on the training ground. The military medical officer also told the wounded that they did not want to recuperate and recover, so persistent, the better was slower. The medical officers had to prepare more herbs every day, boil out the juice, and apply them externally and internally when they rested in the nightfall camps.
The enthusiasm of the officers and men to participate in the training is mainly due to the fact that various measures such as dividing the fields, building houses, and abolishing the land have greatly encouraged the morale of the army. The morale was high, and Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi and others were greatly relieved. However, Yu Zhilong still told Zhao Shi, Mingxiong, Fang Xue and others to practice their strength carefully, and not to force it.
Yu Zhilong praised Zhou Ji and a few people, and then ordered them to wash themselves, and then asked Sun Xing to take out a small bottle from the back of the horse, which contained the ointment that Yu Lan boiled out yesterday, and the main effect was to promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis. Although Yu Zhilong has been in the incident for many days, Yu Lan still insists on delivering medicine every two days.
Yu Zhilong casually handed over the medicine bottle to Zhou Ji, and ordered the injured soldiers in the team to use it after returning to the camp today. Zhou Ji and the others didn't know the origin of this bottle, and thanked them again and again, and then they were moved to leave. Sun Xing wanted to dissuade him, but seeing that Yu Zhilong was concerned about his subordinates, he finally gave up.
Watching Zhou Ji go away, Yu Zhilong felt that his mouth and nose were much refreshed. Although the toilet bowl is covered with a lid, the large bucket with toilet chips is open, and hundreds of toilet chips are densely piled inside.
The smell of drowning is not small, especially if the contents are at least half a bucket full. Yu Zhilong tried to hold his breath just now, as the main general, he naturally paid attention to his demeanor and appearance, although he didn't like it in his heart, he didn't show the slightest expression on his face, but Sun Xing and a few guards behind him frowned a little.
Speaking of toileting, before the Yuan Dynasty, people mostly did not have hand paper available, dignitaries and nobles used silk to wipe the toilet, and in the later period, there was soft paper, and the peddlers and pawns generally used bamboo or wood chips, as for the people in the village to pick up stones, leaves, grass stems, etc., and so on. Yu Zhilong and others have been marching and fighting, and they are not paying attention to it. Now that there is a place to stay, the camp has begun to prepare a lot of toilets to use, and special toilets have been set up, and the soldiers are strictly ordered not to solve the toilet at will, and the hygiene in the barracks has finally improved.
It's just that it's not good to leave the matter of cleaning the latrines every day to outsiders, after all, the military camp is an important place. So Yu Zhilong set up this military rule by the way. In the military academies established in the future, all those who were at the end of the assessment were like this, and after a long period of implementation, it became a tradition in the military academies.
"Can the military medical officer have a fecal examination today?" Yu Zhilong asked casually.
Fang Xue replied: "According to the general's instructions, the medical officer will check the toilet buckets of each department every morning, and if many people are found to have diarrhea or other abnormal feces, they will report to their subordinates. ”
The physical health of the soldiers is a content that the commander should consider, of course Yu Zhilong will not personally inspect, this responsibility is assigned to the medical officer in the army, the original recruited Langzhong, the army retained part of the part, to the military position, as a medical officer, specializing in the treatment and epidemic prevention of the soldiers.
Gao Shang and others commanded the baggage people and others, prepared boiled water, served it in buckets, and placed them in rows outside the venue. Seeing Yu Zhilong and his entourage coming, Gao Shang came to pay homage alone, and Yu Zhilong ordered him to follow behind, asking from time to time.
Yu Zhilong asked as he walked, nodding from time to time, the construction of the Jing'an Army is gradually moving towards regularization, and if time passes, there will be earth-shaking changes.
The evaluation of the Jing'an Army is first conducted among the ten squads in the same 100-member team, and then the 100-member team is used as a unit, and each team is assessed once a day. The winner of two consecutive championships will have a bonus of 20 taels of silver and 200 taels respectively. If you win three times in a row, the bounty will be doubled!
As for Ma Rulong, Hou Ying, Ji Xiancheng, Huang Er, Qian Zheng and others are now either thousands of households or school captains, and they all have several 100-person teams under their command, and the evaluation of these generals is to rank them according to the comprehensive results of the 100-person team under their command.
The average reward bonus of two taels per person is a lot of wealth for the poor, and at this time, even the monthly salary of the Yuan court is only more than one hundred taels.
The desire for victory among the middle and lower-ranking officers was even higher, and Yu Zhilong announced that if he won the championship three times, his subordinates could give priority to the selection of weapons to match.
Now there are many people who have joined the army, and the number of weapons is completely insufficient, otherwise Ma Rulong's troops would not have used a large number of bamboo guns and wooden guns during the war. The sword is fast and the spear is sharp, so that the killing can be better and victorious, this truth is understood by all the generals, and even the desire to obtain a sharp weapon is more than the mind of the bonus.
Speaking of weapons, Ma Rulong was indignant about this after the battle, if there were more iron spears at that time, and the archers in the rear had more good bows and arrows, the results of his own division would have been more brilliant. Fortunately, Zhilong, Zhao Shidu said that Ma Rulong's department made great contributions this time, and he would keep pikemen in the future, and promised to collect iron tools, make metal spear heads, and give priority to equipping him.
After the war, it is said that Ma Rulong is the most unconvinced of Wu Side's military exploits, in terms of horsemanship, army management, and qualifications, he is not inferior to him, but this time it was Yu Zhilong who appointed Wu Side as a cavalry captain.
The cavalry is the key to this big victory, and the credit is the greatest, Wu Side is really shit lucky!
If the old horse leads the army, Wu Side will definitely not be able to catch up!
In the past few days, Wu Side has led the cavalry team to practice in the field, and the people of the cavalry team are from top to bottom, all of them are bullish and coaxing, and their eyes are almost in the sky. Especially when Wu Side saw the other foot soldiers who were practicing, he straightened his chest and crossed his legs, raised his hands and waved continuously: "Who is the strongest in the Jing'an army?" ”
"The sons of the cavalry are the most heroic!"
"Who is the hero in the Suncheon Army?"
"It's my department that comes first!"
Wu Side asked repeatedly, and his subordinates shouted loudly, other subordinates were killing and shaking the sky, and they were roaring earth-shattering. Hearing that Ma Rulong, Qian Zheng, Chang Zhi and others were itching, they couldn't go up and directly put down Wu Side, and beat him up to relieve his anger.
If it happened to meet the cavalry for the horse team's slashing training, Wu Side proudly ordered the horse team to gallop back and forth nearby, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust, and the autumn wind blew, making the soldiers in the downwind disgraced.
"Phew, what's the big deal? Isn't it just four more legs? Ma Rulong spat viciously, causing his subordinates to move some distance away from the billowing smoke and dust.
Unconvinced, Ma Rulong still admitted in his heart that the drill of the horse team had indeed improved in the past few days, they were originally from the scout team, and they had their own experience in cavalry warfare, coupled with Mingxiong's careful guidance, the newly recruited soldiers of the cavalry army quickly adapted to horse combat, and what they lacked was mainly personal combat skills, cooperation and combat experience with each other.
Ma Rulong and Wu Side didn't deal with each other when they were in the scout team, it's not that there is any unsolvable grudge, it's just that Wu Side is good at finding people to joke with him in words, and sometimes he is speechless, which annoys Ma Rulong, but both of them are competitive, they are not convinced by each other, and after a long time, they become uncompatible.
Although Wu Side is unforgiving, he does not dare to slack off in cavalry training, and he has been holding back his strength before and after the war. Yu Zhilong made it clear at the beginning that if the cavalry team did not practice well, he would directly replace Ma Rulong with Ma Rulong as the cavalry captain.
If this happened, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Wu Side in public!
The two were diligent in training because of their fighting spirit, and Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi naturally pushed the boat down the river and were happy.
Ma Rulong saw Yu Zhilong and his entourage coming from a distance, and ordered his subordinates to continue practicing, and he ran over with a smoke, and saluted: "My lord, what do the generals say?" "All the generals know that early this morning, Liu Zhengfeng summoned the generals to meet with Yidu to recruit envoys.
"King Shuntian and all the generals have made it clear that they do not want to be recruited by the Yuan court, and today they have met with the envoy of Yidu and ordered him to go by himself."
"Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan are also unwilling to be recruited in the end? At first, these two people were a little moved! I heard that several of their leaders are willing to go to the official dinner! ”
"Oh, and that? However, today Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan still said that they were willing to continue. It turned out that these two people have already made it clear that we will try not to argue with them in the future, and now we will go all out to resist the yuan! ”
Yu Zhilong knew that because he was the strongest in the army, with the most military exploits and captures, many people in Liu, Qin and other departments were envious and resentful, and there were a lot of cool words, and there were even disputes and brawls in his own department due to verbal disagreements in contact with his officers.
Considering the overall situation, Yu Zhilong did not specifically report that Liu Zhengfeng knew, but privately settled the matter, and made a special trip to visit Liu, Qin, Wan and others, hoping to resolve the conflict. Wan and Xiahou were generous and willing to restrain their subordinates, while Liu and Qin were a little lukewarm.
Yu Zhilong summoned his generals again, explained the current interests and harms, strictly restrained all departments from taking the initiative to stir up trouble, and moved the training ground outside the camp a few miles to the west, almost canceling the opportunity for his subordinates to go out of the camp and enter the city for recreation, hoping to avoid the rest of the departments, so as not to breed more incidents.
Yu Zhilong already has a plan for the future, so he naturally doesn't want to delay the big thing because of the entanglement in front of him, but Zhao Shi fully supports Yu Zhilong, so Zhao Shi spends almost all of his time in the daily training of various departments inside and outside the camp. He has been the leader of the team for a long time, and now he is a deputy general, and he is willing to make friends with the soldiers of various departments, and at this time he gradually has a calm and capable style.
Ma Rulong answered Yu Zhilong's inquiries from time to time, and asked Yu Zhilong about his military movements in the next few days. Yu Zhilong just told him to step up his military training and not to do anything else.
During this inspection, Yu Zhilong took a closer look and found that all the training soldiers had already put on leggings.
This method of leggings is still a few days ago when Yu Zhilong talked to Mingxiong about how to train soldiers, Mingxiong mentioned that some colleagues had adopted the way of playing leggings when training marches, Yu Zhilong was very interested when he heard it, and asked in detail about the way to play the leggings, and even took two cloth belts on the spot, so that Mingxiong wrapped them tightly on his legs.
"My lord, this method of legging is indeed very beneficial, for the soldiers not only have stronger legs and feet during their daily exercises, but also do not become overly tired during long marches; In JAC, having leggings also prevents mosquitoes from crawling in and biting along the trouser tube and prevents thorns from pricking. Mingxiong enthusiastically proposed.
Seeing that Yu Zhilong was concerned about this, Mingxiong continued: "If the adults agree, the subordinates suggest that it be fully implemented in the Jing'an Army, but it is necessary to purchase some coarse cloth and spend some silver taels." ”
"A little silver tael, can there be geometry? Just go to Fang Xue to handle it. After Yu Zhilong tied the leggings, he tried to jump on the ground a few times, squatted up several times, and ran back and forth for dozens of meters to feel the tightness. came back and said to Mingxiong: "The method of leggings is very good, and it should be implemented for the whole army immediately, what do you think of the system of this leggings?" ”
Mingxiong said: "My lord, the system of this thing is very simple, about two to three steps long, and one palm wide. When used, one end is flat, and one end is forked into two ropes. The key is to tighten it appropriately when wrapping, so as not to affect the movement due to poor qi and blood. These points are also familiar to the old soldiers under them, but they can teach them to the various departments. ”
Yu Zhilong was overjoyed: "In this way, General Ming will bother a lot." Well, the former must be hot water to burn their feet before going to bed every day, this method must not be abandoned, and the departments must soak their feet to relieve fatigue before they can sleep. Each team must inspect it in person! ”
Fang Xue stepped forward and continued: "The silver taels in the army's account are enough, and the subordinates think that the cloth shop in the city should still have some coarse cloth, so they will go back and purchase three hundred horses." ”
Mingxiong smiled: "A hundred horses are enough!" ”
