Chapter 11: The Bandits
After the same physical training as yesterday afternoon, running, push-ups, and sit-ups, I took everyone to the grove to prick the trunks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After three days of training like this, Brother Donkey was the first to pierce the trunk, and Zhang Shihua also awarded Brother Donkey five taels of silver on the spot, and this also inspired others, and it didn't take long for another person to pierce the trunk, but it was not Brother Lu and Thirteen but the man named Zhou Tie, I have to say that although Zhou Tie has not been trained, this strength is not practiced in vain.
When Zhang Shihua gave Zhou Tie three taels of silver, this man was also quite excited, after all, the money was enough for their family to eat for a year.
With the two role models of donkey brother Zhou Tie, more than 20 people pierced the trunk on the fourth day, and the third place was also beyond Zhang Shihua's expectations, the third place turned out to be Erniu, when Zhang Shihua gave the money to Erniu, this man was quite excited.
Zhang Shihua also understands that Erniu's excitement is not only because of money, you must know that Zhang Shihua has appointed a total of five team leaders, and the other four are Zhang Shihua's cronies, and it is natural for them to follow Zhang Shihua for the longest time as the team leader, but Erniu is different.
In addition, when Zhang Shihua first recruited people, he only recruited forty people from the town, and the other ten people entered the inspection department without any tests, and those who passed the test of the inspection department archers will naturally reject the other ten people, and some people say that these ten guys are just lucky, and they are qualified to enter the inspection department according to their real skills.
And when Zhang Shihua was in the detachment, he also intended to let the ten people who came first from the inspection department form a team, and appointed Erniu as the team leader, which strengthened this invisible exclusion, so during training, Erniu's team has always been the most obedient and hard-working.
And Erniu, who is the captain of the squad, is holding his breath all the time, he wants to prove to others that he was not appointed as the captain of the squad just because of good luck, so Erniu has been training from the beginning, and he will do whatever the inspector tells him.
After training for half a month, there are less than ten people in the entire inspection department who have not been beaten by Zhang Shihua's stick, and he is one of them, and when he heard the ranking reward of the inspection master about this thorn trunk, he was the most excited, not for the silver reward but to prove himself to everyone.
And when he managed to finish in the top three, the inspector patted him on the shoulder and said, "Very good, well done." He felt that all his efforts had been worth it.
On the fifth day, all the archers of the Inspection Division pierced the trunk, in fact, this result was also expected by Zhang Shihua, at that time, Zhang Shihua felt that the time for these people to pierce the trunk was four to five days, like Brother Donkey and Zhou Tie were just a special case, and they could not be measured by common sense.
Those archers who pierced the trunk first, such as Brother Donkey, Zhou Tie, etc., Zhang Shihua did not let them pierce the trunk again, but took them to start practicing the spear phalanx.
Like a single phalanx like pikemen, the most important thing is the neatness of the formation and the quality of the soldiers, because Zhang Shihua has been practicing the formation with them for half a month, so the uniformity of the formation can still pass, but the quality of the soldiers Zhang Shihua does not dare to guarantee, after all, these archers are just some farmers who have just put down their hoes for less than half a month, and they have not yet killed people on the battlefield and seen blood, and Zhang Shihua cannot guarantee whether the soldiers can have the courage to face the robbers.
However, Zhang Shihua also thought of a way, since there is no actual combat now, then engage in exercises, although it is not as effective as actual combat, but it can also have some effects.
So Zhang Shihua asked Thursday Jiu to find 54 long wooden sticks, and asked the archers to use sticks instead of guns, and divided the 54 people into two teams with similar strength to conduct actual combat exercises, and also formulated some rules and reward and punishment systems for exercises.
For example, the winning team can add food to the meal, and the losing team not only has to reduce the meal, but also wash the clothes of the winning team, etc., incentives and punishments.
If you don't practice, you don't know if you are scared when you practice, there are really a lot of problems with the archers, not a little bit.
Weak collective consciousness, individualistic heroes, easy to panic when fighting, scattered formations when encountering external forces, etc., really made Zhang Shihua's head as big as a fight.
For this reason, Zhang Shihua spent several days working these archers with sticks and sweet dates to correct the problems of these archers, but there is one thing that makes Zhang Shihua more gratified, that is, at least the archers did not disobey orders.
It can be said that the ten days of training have made the archers' archer skills improve by leaps and bounds, first of all, the personal physique of the archers has been strengthened, and secondly, the archers have used spears to pierce trees, and the stabbing of spears is also considered to be an entry, and Zhang Shihua's actual combat drills not only enhanced the courage of the archers, but also made them understand the basic military formation on the battlefield.
Zhang Shihua was confident that as long as he was given another ten days, the archers of the Inspection Division would be able to face the robbers head-on without defeat.
Like last time, the archers of the Inspection Division went back, and only Zhang Shihua was in the Inspection Division, but in the afternoon, Li Chongsan and Li Lizheng suddenly arrived at the Inspection Division and said that they had something important to tell them.
Zhang Shihua welcomed Li Lizheng into the main room and asked: Not only is there something important, but you have to bother Li Gong to come in person?
Li Lizheng said with a frightened expression: My lord, it's not good, that group of robbers is coming to our side of TH County again.
Oh! Zhang Shihua also knew that this was not a trivial matter, and hurriedly asked: Li Gong, where did you get this news?
Li Lizheng said: My lord, this news was told to me by a relative of mine in a neighboring town, saying that just last night, that group of bandits attacked Dawang Town, not far from our Yangshui Town, and killed Wang Lizheng of Dawang Town, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will come to our side.
The robbers are ruthless, if they come to our Yangshui Town, it will all depend on the inspection master and the inspection department.
Zhang Shihua said to himself: Li Gong and rest assured, if those bandits come to this town, I will definitely let them go around without food, and I will never let them harm the lives of the villagers in this town.
At this time, Li Chongsan also said: Your Excellency does not need to recruit the archers of the Inspection Division from their respective homes to prevent bandits.
There is no need for this, Zhang Shihua listened to Li Chongsan's suggestion and thought for a moment and said: Those bandits just committed the crime and now the news is tight, judging from their previous methods, they will never risk coming to our Yangshui Town in the past two days, you must know that several towns around here have patrol departments in our Yangshui Town to prepare for thieves, even if they come, they will not choose to come when the wind is tight.
Besides, the archers are now in love with their families, and their morale, determination, and determination are all lacking, and even if they are recruited, it is difficult to exert their combat power in time.
Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Li Lizheng was full of anxiety and a little unwilling, after all, what happened yesterday could be clearly told to him, if the robbers came and the first target was him, could he not be afraid.
So Zhang Shihua spent a lot of saliva to persuade this greedy and death-fearing Li Zheng to go home, but this incident also told Zhang Shihua that his time was running out, if the bandits entered this time, the inspection department could not repel the bandits, then Zhang Shihua's position may not be stable, and the family will not support him as always.
Zhang Shihua thought: It's time to change the rules of the inspection department.
At noon the next day, the archers of the inspection department came, and Zhang Shihua gathered the archers and said to everyone: Do you know what your identity is, do you know why I recruited you?
Although the archers were a little strange about Zhang Shihua's question, they still replied in unison: We are the archers of the inspection department to protect the territory and the people, and the adults recruited us to exterminate the bandits and defend the homeland.
Very well, it seems that you have not forgotten who you are and what your mission is.
I told you when you first started training, training you to suppress bandits, to defend the homeland, to protect the father, the elderly, wives and children, and now the bandits are really coming, just the day before yesterday they attacked Dawang Township, these jackals not only robbed the people of Dawang Township for the winter, but also killed more than a dozen innocent people, they may come to our Yangshui Town soon, you and others answered me, when the bandits came, you are not afraid.
When the archers below heard Zhang Shihua's words, they blushed one by one and raised their fists and shouted: We are not afraid, we are not afraid, we are not afraid.
Okay, very good, worthy of the soldiers brought out by me Zhang Shihua.
From now on, all the archers of the Inspection Division will enter a state of emergency preparation, and when they sleep at night, all the archers will be divided into squads, divided into five groups to stand guard in shifts, and the ten-day holiday system will be cancelled, and no one shall leave the Inspection Division without my order, and those who violate it will be immediately expelled from the Inspection Division.
Destroy the enemy and defend the homeland. Zhang Shihua finally shouted.
Destroy the enemy and defend the homeland. Destroy the enemy and defend the homeland...... The archers of the Inspection Division all shouted loudly.
