Chapter 204: Progress

"Stand up straight!"

After more than ten days of training, these people in front of me were able to learn to stand in line in the shortest possible time.

Tang Wangzong shouted and slapped a recruit's chest with his hand, and the recruit's chest made a cumping sound, and the man just grinned.

All the recruits are looking at their team leaders, each team leader is a C-class dart master, the monthly salary is three taels of silver, and there are all kinds of subsidies, the annual income of a team officer is worth the net income of five or six peasant households for the whole year, these recruits are all farmers before joining the army, they have not yet received the first salary, everyone is eager for the day when they receive the salary.

The recruits are usually short men at the end, holding iron poles with pointed heads in their hands.

Zhang Han's soldiers are all trained by Wang Changfu, Zhang Han has added a lot of things, Wang Changfu has brought a lot of habits, he is a soldier in Jizhen, whether it is the establishment or the weapon is inherited from Qi Jiguang, including the firefighter in front of him, but here in Zhang Han, the firefighter also has to receive training as a soldier, but he does not go into battle directly in wartime, and he gets the same monthly salary during training, and he can't get a subsidy for firefighters in wartime, and there is no rich reward.

This firefighter also has a short hand-relief knife at his waist, with a scabbard inserted into the belt around his waist, in addition to training physical fitness and fighting with a flat pole, the firefighters also have to train in melee combat, as strict as the soldiers, they are chosen as firefighters mainly because of courage and character, and this role is also needed in the army.

The rest of the soldiers were two long players, six pikemen, two boring palladium players, Tang Wangzong was the team officer, with a flag gun in his hand, and when he was in battle, he stood behind the two long players, in front of the pikeman, and the camera commanded.

"Start weighting!"

Tang Wangzong heard the sound of the copper whistle, and he hurriedly gave an order.

Each recruit was already preparing when he heard the whistle, and when he heard the military order, he immediately picked up the sandbag at his feet, tied it to his legs, and then the outermost squad began to run, three squads were a flag team, together with thirty-seven flag captains, three flag teams formed a bureau, each bureau had a flag bearer and drummer, a pond horse, plus a bureau hundred general, a bureau military judge, a book officer, a deputy hundred general in charge of daily chores and logistics and military quarters, one hundred and twenty people in each bureau, and every four bureaus formed a division, There are more commanders at the division level, and each division should be between 500 and 550 people according to the allocation, and in the future, there will be cavalry squadrons or cavalry bureaus under the division, but now they are just putting up shelves, and the 600 people are divided into two divisions, Wang Changfu is the general of the first division, and Liang Xing is the general of the second division.

The chief officer in the border army is generally served by thousands of households, and even some are the commander of the guard to serve as the commander, in Zhang Han, he himself is a hundred households, but he has already appointed two generals, fortunately, the inspection can form his own archer troops, Zhang Han is not a formal award, just called it internally, and the external identity Wang Changfu and Liang Xing are just the head of the archer team.

There are also second-class dart masters at the first level of the flag captain, and at the first level of the bureau hundred and deputy hundred generals, all of them are first-class, that is, those old people who follow Zhang Han the most.

Duoer and Li Zhiye also partnered, they were the general manager and deputy general manager of the first bureau of the second division.

The Zhao brothers separated, Zhao Shiwen was the deputy general manager of the first division and the third bureau, and his hundred was always Wang Yikui.

Ren Jing and Zhao Shiwu are both flag captains, but they are in the Field Service Bureau, which is a mysterious organization, and they don't train with everyone every day, but everyone in the Secret Service has figured it out, it is the closest and most powerful internal guard around Zhang Han, Jiang Kui is the general manager of the bureau, Jiang Yi is the deputy general manager, they have not yet expanded, and Zhang Han is still surrounded by these five or six internal guards every day.

The archers of the two divisions slowly ran into a long snake, and all of them had twenty pounds of sandbags tied to their legs, which made the five-kilometer run exhaust the physical energy of these recruits.

At the beginning, Zhang Han determined the standard of physical training according to the habits of later generations, but later felt that the standard he set was too weak. The physical fitness of the recruits in later generations is very good, but most of them are seventeen or eighteen years old hairy children who have not suffered hardships, and now the soldiers he recruits are about twenty years old, they are all the best young men, and most of them are farmers, they can start to work when they walk, even if they are homeless people have just not been able to eat, they can still eat enough under normal conditions, and the perennial physical work makes these recruits far more physical than the high school students of later generations, they are more able to endure hardships, more tenacious, and after eating a few meat meals in the camp, their physical strength is even more abundant, Later, Zhang Han changed the training standard, increased the amount of single and double poles and running, and began equipment training at the same time, and the subjects of physical training were reduced a lot.

Queue training is still very important, no matter when the queue training can cultivate the organization and obedience of the soldiers, even the Ming army has to practice the drill queue, Zhang Han just canceled those flashy and useless things, at most, the general will have a course on the terrain formation, according to different terrain to arrange the queue, give full play to the effectiveness of firepower or cold weapons, this is a matter for the generals to consider, the soldiers just listen to the command.

In addition to equipment, physical fitness, queues, and housekeeping training, every bit of daily life is to follow the rules, folding quilts, washing teeth and washing faces, getting up or sleeping, all of which are controlled.

At the beginning, there was a lot of rebound, and many people were used to it and were very uncomfortable with too many tubes.

They responded with a military stick, and after a few beatings, they were honest.

Finally it was Tang Wangzong's turn to run this team, he shouted at everyone to follow the pace of the queue to run, a recruit reacted slowly, dragging his team to run a few steps slower, Tang Wangzong rushed forward, called people out, announced the punishment according to the regulations, the recruit smiled bitterly and agreed, and then lay on the ground and was beaten five times, and then the recruit rubbed his ass and ran over.

From time to time, there was the sound of beating sticks on the school grounds, and these team officers or flag captains were not less beaten when they were dart masters, and they returned to these recruits twice the beatings they had received that year.

Some of the recruits disrupted the queue and had to be beaten with 10 sticks or the heaviest 20 sticks, and after the torture they had no way to continue running, they lay on the ground and waited for the medicine to be dressed, and their punishment was to cancel their lunch at noon until they had recovered from their stick wounds and were ready to participate in training.

There are also people who are punished for cleaning canteens or toilets, depending on the severity of the offense committed in the place and the number of days.

The archers of the two divisions do not yet have a complete military law, and the existing ones are only rules, some of which were brought over by the dart master, and some of which were new regulations that Zhang Han and Wang Changfu had discussed and formulated, and they are still slowly groping step by step.

Unlike the Ming army, there is no beheading here, there is no other corporal punishment except for beating military sticks, basically the punishment is solved by military sticks or labor, the most serious is confinement, and then the next step is to open the revolution.

The archers did not realize that they were going to be brought into battle eventually, they were just driven like sheep to do their part.

Zhang Han rides a horse around the school yard every day, and he himself has been studying the art of war and war with Wang Changfu every day recently, and he is also watching from the side whenever the soldiers run circles on the school field, just like an old farmer looking at his flock.

……

"Proprietor, I'm here."

Li Xiangfu, who had gray hair and a smile on his face, strode in, and he stood in the middle of the office room to speak to Zhang Han.

"Lao Li sit down, I'll finish reading what I'm doing." Zhang Han sat at the table in the study, and lit more than a dozen or twenty candles with a concentrated candlestick on both sides, such brightness can ensure that it does not hurt his eyes, anyway, he has silver, and he likes to light as much as he wants.

Li Yujing sat on the side and waited, and he beckoned Li Xiangfu to sit beside him.

Zhang Han has finally caught up with the progress recently, he has on his desk the account books and statements sent from all over the country this month, July is the height of summer, the weather is very hot, and the business activities in various places have entered a low tide period, only there is a peak in the monthly market, but it cannot be compared with other months.

In such weather, the grassland is very self-sufficient, and all kinds of wild vegetables and vegetable fields can also provide vegetables, and the demand for food is not large.

In addition to the account book report, there are more information copied from various places, among which Zhang Han is most concerned about the copy of the palace and the Tang newspaper sent by the Beijing Division.

Liaodong only knew that Kaiyuan was defeated, Dongyu was attacking Tieling, and the Tieling guard was replaced by Li Ruzhen, I heard that he asked the Mongolian tribe for help, and a few Taiji promised Li Ruzhen that he would send troops, Li Ruzhen was very sure, and the hearts of the people in Beijing were quite stable, and they were not as panicked as the previous times.

In addition, there is good news that Wanli finally made up his mind to replace Yang Hao, Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, Ming Zheng said well, Lao Xiong was on the Liaodong affair before leaving Beijing, which is a well-known tripartite strategy.

Zhang Han got the draft of the tripartite policy for the first time, he studied it, and found that Xiong Tingbi deserved to be praised by everyone in later generations as a strategic master, although he had not yet arrived in Liaodong, he already knew the disadvantages of Liaodong, and if the tripartite policy could become a national policy for resolving Liaodong affairs that was agreed upon by the government and the opposition, the Jurchens would really not be troubled.

Pity...... Zhang Han sneered, he knew the trend of history, and he also deeply knew what kind of bird virtue the officials of the Ming Dynasty were.

"Okay, the manager and the tent are here, let's talk about it."

Zhang Han pushed away the mountains of forms and account books on the table, and pinched his eyes with his fingers.

"We've been buying land for the last two months." Li Yujing said: "All the expenses are very large, to buy the land, Guan Zhuang has spent 13,000, and there are still about 160,000 silver in the treasury, I was ordered to bring 60,000 yuan to come over first, just to see what the situation on the Zhuang side says." ”

Li Yujing's face is very relaxed, although Zhang Han's side uses money like flowing water, but the income is also large, he has no financial pressure on the account, and because of the war in Liaodong and the decrease in demand from the Mongols, the receipt of goods from Yusheng has slowed down a lot recently, so it is expected that the silver deposit will exceed 300,000 in the autumn, and Li Yujing feels very confident.
