"All the soldiers, line up!"

Tao Chun took people and began to order the accompanying soldiers to line up, and the people were taken over by Tao Chun, these are all old soldiers, very experienced, this time also from the mule and horse line of Yusheng, the team has traveled thousands of miles on the grassland in the past two years, and the coachmen are very experienced, both in terms of management and practical ability to do things...... The men were ordered to sit still for the time being, not to camp in disorder, after a few days of travel, these people have lost their mental and physical strength, and they are also happy not to move, watching the soldiers in short military uniforms being chased together like ducks.

There are some differences between the military uniform of the soldiers and the soldiers, such as two crossed straps, from the middle of the chest to the back of the chest, and the waist is a cowhide plate belt, on which there are many buckles, which can hang the No. 2 baggage shovel and various small utensils, so that during the construction period, they will not throw their tools and lose them, and the soldiers only have three buckles to hang the sub-medicine box and the water bottle.

In addition, the soldier's military uniform is also a gray military robe with red pants, the hem of the military robe is longer, similar to a military coat, the spring and autumn clothing material is thinner, the color is consistent, the hem is slightly shorter, the soldier is a gray robe and gray pants, the hem of the robe is particularly short, so it looks a lot more capable, mainly for the convenience of work during construction.

In addition, the clothing of the soldiers is particularly thick, and they do daily construction work, and they also have an extra set of robes, so that they will not wear out in a short period of time to the point that there are no robes to wear.

When Zhang Han designed it like this, Li Shenming, Sun Jingting and others did not agree very much...... Their logistical supply on the battlefield is still at the level of the men who transport food, grass and cooking...... Of course, these soldiers are also doing it, and the soldiers are not only digging trenches and ditches, but also responsible for food and transporting grain and grass in the army, but Zhang Han hopes that they can do more, and even if they are logistics soldiers, Zhang Han also hopes that they will have the honor and sense of responsibility of soldiers, and the necessary military uniforms and strict military training are also the same.

"Into your mother's ...... Look at you guys slow, this mess, like a flock of ducks, what a fucking under-training! ”

Lu Da stood with several Lingqiu companions, all of whom were wearing gray military robes, and after eleven days of military training, they went north with the convoy, and their queues were all standing in a mess, which of course attracted Tao Chun's angry scolding.

Lu Da looked at the officer holding the horsewhip, his face was angry, he was a little scared, and almost wanted to raise his arm to make a gesture to cover his face, but fortunately, the eleven days of military training made him subconsciously have some military consciousness, and he still put it down after moving his arm.

"Into your mother's ......" Tao Chun scolded again, but he still sighed helplessly, and said: "Everyone carries their own backpacks, forms a four-person column, and follows me to the training camp to continue training. ”

Lu Da felt a little aggrieved in his heart, he had already inquired, there were three thousand and fifty people in the baggage battalion, divided into four divisions, each division had different numbers, his division had six hundred and eighty-nine people, three hundred and seventy-six horses and mules, equipped with one hundred and seven carts, each of them had different functions, the main task of the baggage was to build a military fort, and then to transport military food and supplies, in addition to the military division under the cooking team, each team was responsible for the food of a war bureau, Lu Da was divided into the cooking team, each team had four large iron pots and steamers, soup pots, Responsible for cooking vegetables for the army, steaming cakes, and cooking soup, Lu Da feels that this work is light, anyway, it is cooking, he also cooks at home, at the beginning, the four brothers plus the father and the mother, in addition to the father and mother, several brothers are dogs can eat, a meal has to eat a big pot, of course, it is miscellaneous grains with wild vegetables, and now every team in the army carries a lot of food, all wheat and millet, as well as a large number of bacon and pickles, and a lot of fresh vegetables in the whole barrel...... Who knew things weren't what he thought they would!

Even if it is a cooking soldier, he has to practice queues, physical fitness, practice bird guns, practice spear arrays, practice swords and shields, as well as disassemble and assemble firearms, maintain weapons, get up and run laps every morning, and then practice equipment to boil up strength, people who practice every day can't lift their shoulders, ten days of hard work, Lu Da feels more tired than the farm work when harvesting wheat, and he can't get up when he falls into bed every night, and he snores loudly when he dips his pillow......

finally survived to the north, and Lu Da and the others were already on the road to try to make a big pot dish with the old guy's army...... It's simple, and it can be made with a little snack.

The advice of the old man's army is to be sure to pick clean vegetables and cook rice...... Otherwise, if the soldiers in front eat gravel or raw food, it will not only be as simple as scolding the mother, but the upper part must be thoroughly investigated, and the barracks will punish the derelict cooks......

As for the taste, it really doesn't matter...... As long as you can eat, eat cleanly, and don't have diarrhea, this is the trick of the big pot dishes in the army.

Lu Dazheng was thinking about his experience, but he didn't expect to go to the camp for military training, thinking of the hellish life of ten days, Lu Da's mood was heavy, and when he looked around, everyone's faces were almost not good.

"You fools......" Tao Chun scolded: "Military training is also for your good, and the soldiers are also soldiers, one or two or five a month, and quickly catch up with the salary of the border army. To the front line, whether it is a cooking soldier or a food transport soldier, an engineering team, or a service team, they are all on the front line with the soldiers, you just don't undertake the task of doing war, but it doesn't mean that the Beiyu will not cut you with a knife, and the soldiers will also be equipped with weapons, garrison the military fort, and fight if necessary, you are really here to dig a ditch? If that's the case, why don't we hire all the people? There are thousands of people behind you, and you can earn one tael a month for three meals, or because you come to the border of the northern captives to do work, you can earn one tael a month by carrying work at home? Can you manage barley pie and broth? ”

Tao Chun's words were like a storm, and he sprayed Lu Da and the others with blood, but they also dispelled the displeasure and luck in the hearts of the soldiers...... The people are also willing to go into danger, and they do the same work, and the result is one or two silver a month, and they are still happy like something...... These people are farmers, at home farming at most five or six taels of silver a year, and it has to be a good day when the wind and rain are good, in the past few years, they farm not to say that the silver falls, if they don't lose their family money, the family of the peasant family is nothing more than a few crumbling huts, a few broken beds and cabinets, and then some thick robes, these two years of famine, I don't know how many people sell their houses and land, or in the winter to get rid of the thick cotton jacket, in exchange for nothing more than a few dollars of broken silver, buy a little miscellaneous grain to support the family from starvation......

The red-faced young man beside Lu Da said, "We are a little ignorant...... No matter how tired I am, I have meat and bread every day......"

Lu Da nodded and said, "That's it, people can hold on, but we can't?" ”

"Lu Da, you didn't look at your brother just now, they were trained like this, and they became an officer!"

Lu Da said with a swelling face: "I am also confused for a while, how strong are you than me." ”

As soon as everyone was about to say more, an officer on the other side scolded: "Keep your mouth shut, you are not allowed to speak when you are in line, the regulations are not written, and they are not read to you?" ”

After such a scolding, everyone remembered the regulations, and suddenly they didn't dare to speak out again, and honestly lined up in line.

These people were illiterate before, and none of the people in the whole team were literate, and after being selected for military training, they had to be literate and memorize regulations, and everyone's brain was like paste, but it was not good if they didn't memorize it, and if they wanted not to violate the rules and regulations, they must be familiar with the military regulations and regulations.

The merchant army rarely beheaded the enemy, only the crime of fleeing and defecting to the enemy before the battle, killing innocent people, or killing comrades was a capital crime, and in addition, it was beaten with a military stick, confined, or punished by going to the toilet, or by fines of salary.

Other punishments are not enough, but the punishment that everyone is most afraid of, but there are many regulations, and every day people memorize the regulations until they cry......

"Let's go, sing the military song!"

In front of him was a long marching column of four people in parallel, and there was no spectacular military appearance on this wide grassland, coupled with the untidy military posture, Tao Chun felt uncomfortable when he saw it, and he waved his hand and asked people to sing.

The loud military song sounded, Lu Da and the others also shouted in a straight voice, the military song together, it seemed that the military appearance was much better, Tao Chun showed a smile on his face, rode forward, and took this team of soldiers to the north of the vast grassland.

……

"The grain and various materials mobilized recently can only be reported as an imaginary number......

Jiang Chenying sat opposite Sun Jinxian, although he was just a grain merchant with a net worth of several thousand taels, he didn't have too much fear and nervousness on his face, at most he was two or three points respectful.

Sun Jinxian sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't handle this person anymore...... Previously, because Zhang Han ordered the chambers of commerce in various places to prepare a large number of materials, Sun Jinxian seized this opportunity and met Yue Liangzuo and Jiang Chenying and others in private, and he also knew that the directors of the chambers of commerce in various places were all rich and powerful, and he, a magistrate from the top three Jinshi, could not subdue these people at all...... Don't say that these chamber of commerce directors have the behemoths of Zhang Han and He Yusheng behind them, even if Li Dayong and Ma Huaxian's previous net worth and status, the magistrate can only be used to win over them, and they cannot be forced to suppress them.

Sun Jinxian originally didn't want to mess with Yusheng, but at the same time, Wang Xinyi, the patrolman, greeted him many times and entrusted him to "keep a little heart", Sun Jinxian also knew that the Donglin Party was powerful in the DPRK, so he moved his mind for a while......

"That's it." Sun Jinxian said: "This official already knows that He Yusheng is cooperating with Tianchengwei to build a fort and build a military platform outside the side wall, and this matter has been approved by the imperial court, since this is the case, there is nothing to say." ”
