Chapter VII Recruitment and Training

For the system armor soldiers that have appeared and will appear in large numbers in the future, how to explain it to the outside world is really a headache for Gongsun Kang. Fortunately, no one asks now, and he will not take the initiative to say. In the future, let's arrange for them to appear in the way they join the army.

Even counting the armor soldiers summoned by the system, Gongsun Kang's soldiers are still less than 50 people, and they need to be recruited.

Yes, despite a lot of debt, Gongsun Kang is still going to recruit soldiers. He found that the number of combatable people in a single village of Goguryeo exceeded 100.

Not daring to take too big a step, Gongsun Kang decided to recruit another 60 people. It is mainly recruited in the nearby township, and you can't always dig into the corner of Gongsun's house, right?

The tribesmen came down the mountain with copper coins, drank wine in large bowls and ate large pieces of meat in the bazaar. The folks know that they have made a fortune. Hearing about recruitment, they flocked to the door. On the border of the Northland, the people are fierce, and there are many brave soldiers with big shoulders and round waists. The folks in the township also know the roots. More than 500 people came, Gongsun Kang and Liu Yi picked and chosen, and finally recruited 200 people.

In this era, the Eastern Han Dynasty was not completely chaotic, although the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were still making trouble in various places, but Dong Zhuo had not yet entered Beijing. Therefore, Gongsun Kang didn't dare to openly say that he was recruiting, he recruited a ministry, and 200 people signed a deed of sale for the ministry. Then secretly pull up the mountain.

The so-called cottage is not right on the top. It's just that if the court intervenes, there will be an excuse. As long as they don't rob the Han Chinese, even if the local government knows about it, they will turn a blind eye.

The original 40 subordinates have all been promoted to one level, and the youngest is the commander of the army, and he is in charge of five people. Wu Chang and Shi Chang also set one, two, three, four, at least after the death of the superior uncle, there will be someone who can replace him. Reserve officers have also been established in the ranks, such as reserve commanders and reserve officers, and when necessary, reserve officers can be directly formed to form a new corps. And Gongsun Kang's personal soldiers, that is, the first soldiers of the system, now have 9 people.

The seven parts that were punished at this time completely regretted it. Because he couldn't play because he was recuperating from his injuries, the distribution of loot for the next few months was gone. And now that the army is expanding, there is no chance of promotion.

240 people were trained again for 30 days, mainly on collaboration and how to follow orders. Most of the time it was taught in groups by veterans who had participated in the first battle.

The real elite soldiers are eliminated from the blood and fire on the battlefield, not trained at home. But in order to reduce combat attrition, it is necessary to intensify training. The so-called: more sweat in training, less bloodshed in wartime.

Forward, right, left, there are really soldiers who are left and right. Gongsun Kang's method is to take off the shoe on his left foot. When you turn left, you are turning in the direction where you don't have shoes. Now it's in the same direction.

Logging, building houses, making ladders, building pontoon bridges, and camping are also essential. Now there are few soldiers and it is impossible to subdivide them. In the future, it will be an independent engineer battalion.

Regarding physical training, Gongsun Kang used later methods, cross-country running, push-ups, and sit-ups. Weightlifting. As long as the food is guaranteed, the physical strength of the recruits quickly increases.

In the Han Dynasty, there were two meals a day, and in order to improve combat effectiveness, Gongsun Kang ordered three meals a day and one meal of meat for three days. The recruits were jubilant, even if there was no provision for the distribution of loot, just three meals a day, and they could eat enough, and the recruits would sell their lives.

First of all, they ate meat collectively for a week, mainly to replenish the soldiers' bodies. After a week, they began to be treated separately.

Recruits must first train their physical strength and endurance when they join the army. Endurance is to stand, at first do not seek to stand upright, stand casually, as long as you do not move. If you move, you will be punished for 10 laps.

The correct standing posture can exercise the body, improve endurance, and when the recruits get used to it, they will change to a correct standing posture the next day, with the body straight, the legs not bent, and the head and chest high.

Every morning to get up in the mountains and run 5 miles, in the morning Gongsun Kang specially arranged for them push-ups, sit-ups, everyone learned a day to learn these strange movements, in the afternoon is standing and weightlifting exercises, I didn't expect this group of recruits to adapt to this training intensity in less than half a month. Liu Yi increased the intensity of running, first 10 miles, then 15 miles, and finally asked all the recruits to run with sandbags tied to their bodies.

"Run! The first 30 had meat to eat at night, the last 30 were fined 5 li, and the last 10 had no food at night. Liu Yi yelled at everyone on the school grounds.

After the soldier finished running, he was asked to walk slowly and not to sit down and rest immediately. In the future, ambush warfare will also have this rule: the enemy will not attack after running into place. Wait for the enemy to sit down and rest for a while before starting the attack. At this time, the enemy will be bloody, weak, and unable to get up and fight.

Gongsun Kang also had people make horizontal bars, parallel bars, uneven bars, rope ladders, and single-plank bridges, and prepared to use equipment to practice in the next stage.

The time is too tight, so I can only practice weapons and group confrontation after the second robbery is completed.

Gongsun Kang asked people to use a good iron gun to hit an iron gun, and the iron gun was not heavy, only 50 catties. Gongsun Kang didn't plan to use it all the time, he just used it to practice marksmanship. Prepare for the next robbery and practice marksmanship in real combat.

Gongsun Kang expects that the battle damage this time will be greater than the last time, because last time they were all veterans who had been on the battlefield, and this time it was mainly new soldiers. But his heart is like stone, and he sees all things like ants. Xinci can't control the soldiers! Before the crossing, when he took his younger brother to grab the territory, he understood this truth.

The path chosen by Gongsun Kang is to use both the sophistication and the royal way.

Strategically, it is based on war and plunder, but it does not abandon its own development. While plundering labor, while strengthening their own infrastructure. Transform the looted wealth into capital for its own development. While weakening the enemy, strengthen yourself at the same time.

Gongsun Kang called his younger brother Gongsun Gong to the cottage and asked him to train with ordinary soldiers. Gongsun Gong is only 13 years old, and he complains bitterly every day. Gongsun Kang lured him: "Little brother, haven't you always wanted to learn your brother's marksmanship?" When you can keep up with the training intensity of the soldiers, your brother will start teaching you. ”

Children are just coaxing, Gongsun Gong's eyes are shining. "Really? My brother wants to teach me marksmanship? I'll do my best. He had heard his father say that his brother's marksmanship was among the top in the world.

In his memory, Gongsun Gong later lost his fertility due to illness and was physically weak and unable to govern the country. In order to avoid this tragedy, he must be trained from an early age so that he can not get sick again.

The child's daily training intensity should not be too great, Gongsun Kang told him to rest when he was tired. He also taught him a seven-minute workout. This workout method is simple and easy to use, suitable for all ages. It has been proven that long-term exercise is beneficial to the body.
