Chapter 19 Recruit Training
After entering the barracks, each place of origin is divided into different places, and there is a long table lined up in each place, and behind each table there is a more literate guard officer and soldier, and there are loud soldiers shouting in front of the table: "Ladies and gentlemen, please find three people who know you, come to the table to register your name and original address, please line up, thank you for your cooperation." “
This was the best screening method that Zhu Youxiao could come up with, and everyone and the neighbors came to the table together, registered their names and original addresses one by one, and after registering, they would be taken to another place by the Guards officer, waiting for their physical fitness to be measured.
Cao Wenzhao presided over this measurement, which is divided into three parts: running, weightlifting, and bidding guns, so that speed, strength and explosiveness can be basically measured. If the three top tests are met, someone will introduce them to another place and start a culture test, and they can be a regular soldier regardless of the results of the culture test. If only two of the standards are met, they will be directly assigned to the baggage camp, and if one meets the standard, or none of them meet the standard, then ask if they are scholars, if they are not scholars, they can only leave the barracks in disappointment, but there will be people outside the barracks waiting for them, gather them together, and then they will become laborers in the Liaomin cantonment camp in eastern Gyeonggi.
Of course, if you have one that stands out, it doesn't matter how many of them meet the criteria, someone will lead you to a room and you will be part of the Wonder Barracks.
Xu Xianchun took the brocade guards and scattered them in various venues, looking at the Liao people with fierce eyes. Especially those who didn't find three acquaintances, they were the focus of their attention, they approached according to the handle of the knife, asked the reason, as long as there were signs of panic when answering, the embroidered spring knife was pulled out, and the torture was also taken out, ready to do it at any time. If the explanation is clear, then register the name, and then join the Liaomin camp, and if the explanation is not clear, then directly use a torture to connect the two fingers, grab it and start interrogation. At the end of the day, I really caught more than a dozen Houjin spies.
More than 30,000 young and strong, and it took more than 1,000 Guards soldiers to register, and it took a whole day to basically finish it. As a result, 28,000 regular soldiers were selected, which made Cao Wenzhao marvel at the physical fitness of the Liao people. Yang San lamented beside him: "Most of the people who are in poor health have died, and now the rest are of course in good health." “
There were a total of 7,000 people in the baggage camp, and only more than 800 people were sent back to the camp, and more than a dozen talents were found in it, and there was also a lifter, which were specially marked and led by Lu Xiangsheng himself.
After resting for a night at Shanhaiguan, the 28,000 regular soldiers were simply formed according to their origins, one team of 1,000 people, and then each team sent a flag guard, and each guard led more than 30 people, and began to conduct simple training.
And Lu Xiangsheng took the cavalry, led the baggage soldiers to set off first, and walked more than 30 miles on the first day, and the cavalry each led ten baggage soldiers and began to camp. The Liao people were very obedient, and according to the instructions of the cavalry, they set up tents step by step, and then began to bury pots and cook rice.
After breakfast the next day, Lu Xiangsheng left a banner of cavalry, a Xiucai and 500 heavy soldiers to buy rice and vegetables locally, and waited for the regular soldiers behind.
Three days later, Cao Wenzhao took the ten teams of regular soldiers to have breakfast and officially set off and began camping training. Each person carries a meal of food, dinner to be more than 30 miles away in the camp only, everyone except for food and weapons, no armor, so it is easy to walk the more than 30 miles, after arriving at the camp, the baggage soldiers have prepared the rice and hot water, after dinner, the soldiers began to camp to rest, and then the next morning after breakfast with noon food, and began to advance again.
On the fifth day, Zhao led nine teams of regular soldiers, and on the seventh day, Li Chengxian and Lu Zhijia led nine teams of regular soldiers to begin training, all of them walked more than 30 to 40 miles every day, and after nine days of training, they finally came to the new camp of the Guards outside the capital. In this process, the lag rate of the regular soldiers remained below one percent, which has made Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao very satisfied.
The new camp of the Guards is located in the Gongji City in the east of Lugou Bridge, that is, Wanping County in later generations, of course, the current Wanping County is not here, now Wanping is the annex county of the capital, and it is the west of the central axis of the capital to the western suburbs. Gongji City was built in the eleventh year of Chongzhen in history, and now that Zhu Youxiao has money and wants to expand the army, he chose to make a new camp for the Guards here.
The current Gongji City has not yet been built, it is just a simple prototype, and it will not be able to start building the city until Wang Gongchang is completed, and the place is very large, because Zhu Youxiao believes that the school field must be able to accommodate at least 150,000 people.
Although the city has not been built, some of the barracks have been built, and the number of guards is not large, and the first part of Luqin Zhou Yuji is still in the southwest, so even if the Liao soldiers are added, the barracks are more than enough. Of course, barracks are also being built now, because the Guards in the southwest are about to return to the Beijing Division.
Since the Ordnance Bureau began to use mechanical drill pipes, the output has greatly increased, and all the necessary guns have been prepared. In addition to the southwestern troops, the Guards also numbered more than 8,000 people, and now all these veterans have been disorganized, and 20 infantry battalions, eight cavalry battalions, and four artillery battalions have been reorganized, and all officers have been appointed by the former Guards officers and men. Of course, this is a preliminary battalion and is only used for training, and it will be reorganized after the southwestern troops return to Beijing.
The instructors of the Shaolin Temple have been waiting here for a long time, the Guards have not expanded the army, and the number of people has been reduced after the last restructuring, which makes the monks and instructors feel that life has lost its meaning, and it is really not suitable for some monks to scold and scold the soldiers but to eat fast and recite Buddha.
So these monks, as if eating dog meat (Amitabha, sin, sin), began to train the soldiers for assassination.
After starting to use pocket watches in the army, Zhu Youxiao and the generals of the Guards felt that there were some problems with the way they had previously obtained the Order of Assassination of the Second Degree. In the past, I used to look at the results of sparring, and the results of sparring are related to many factors, even luck, for example, if your opponent is not in good shape, then you will easily win. After everyone discussed, the way of obtaining the second-class assassination medal was reformed, no longer emphasizing the performance of sparring, but instead emphasizing the speed and strength of the assassination.
All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
