Chapter Eighty-Six: Discussing Things in the New Barracks

Five miles west of Yuanlou Village, on the loess slope, a standard military camp of the Tang Dynasty has been built, and the camp wall surrounded by civil engineering is not very tall, but it also has the least protective effect, after all, this is Chang'an and not in the border fortress.

The barracks is divided into four parts, one is where the garrison is located, and the other is the training ground the size of three football fields, on which rows of simple wooden horizontal bars, parallel bars, rings and other training equipment are also made according to the drawings given by Wang Xingxin. On the east and west sides of the training ground, an improvised 400-meter obstacle course was created.

This training ground made Wang Xingxin very satisfied, the remaining oil residue and lean meat to supplement nutrition from making soap there, coupled with high-intensity and strict training, presumably those soldiers will be able to use one as ten. As for the cavalry, the special service battalion is the cavalry battalion, Wang Xingxin doesn't want to make any Datang special forces, he doesn't have that ability, let alone the leisure.

The other part is a workshop and a residence for the people and craftsmen. Wang Xingxin originally wanted to use these people to make a military farm, but then he thought about it carefully, it was best not to get it, and he didn't know how much trouble there was when he got it, so he made soap, honeycomb coal stoves, and honeycomb coal, and in the future, he would have to make wine in the vegetable greenhouse in the village and wait for the stills to be made, in short, a thousand people would not be idle.

When I came to the barracks, the rows of wooden barracks were very neat, and every few barracks there was a public latrine. Drains, garbage dumps are readily available. This made Wang Xingxin feel that he had come to the Xuanjia military camp led by Zhai Changsun again, but the tent was replaced with a flat-topped wooden house according to his requirements.

The barracks of Wang Xingxin, Niu Jinda and others are not specialized, and they are the same as those barracks of ordinary soldiers, except that they are just single rooms.

There is also a large brick and stone building in the barracks area, which is where Wang Xingxin named the office building. With the exception of a large chase room, which was used as a conference room, the rest of the space was divided into small rooms with brand new signs hanging on them.

It reads the office of the regiment commander, the office of the political commissar, the office of the deputy regiment commander, the office of the commander of the first battalion..... All the way down to the offices of the various company commanders.

After Niu Jinda took this officer to visit the new military camp, he said: "Tomorrow, the five thousand soldiers of the two military guards will be stationed in this new military camp, and there are also one hundred Xuanjia elite cavalry transferred by His Majesty from the Xuanjia Army, as well as a thousand war horses!" Deputy head of the regiment, how do you see how to distribute and how to schedule? ”

"Regiment commander, first of all, these 5,000 soldiers should be divided into five battalions, and each of the battalion commanders present here will command a battalion, as for the company commanders and platoon commanders below, I don't want to ask, each battalion commander appoints himself, just send a list to the chief of staff after the appointment! Five battalions, one battalion of 810 men, and my request was that each battalion company should have a deputy in addition to the instructor sent by His Majesty. The same is true for the squad platoon below, so that if the main officer sacrifices his deputy, he can take over immediately.

In addition, each battalion must set up a cooking squad, and the number of the cooking squad is 50 people, and they must be responsible for cooking three meals a day for all officers and men in the entire battalion! After the soldiers are transferred tomorrow, the head and deputy squad leaders of the cooking squad will be selected first, and they will come to the regiment headquarters to train their cooking skills! The head of this regiment personally teaches! The amount of training in the future is huge, if you can't eat well, don't practice this strong soldier! This cooking class also needs to be trained, but it ends early. Chief of Staff, battalion commanders, if you have any objections, please raise them now, and we will discuss them together, and if there are no objections, please take a look at this booklet! ”

After speaking, he asked Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianhu to bring a large box, and after opening it, it contained a military manual that Wang Xingxin had printed a long time ago, which contained various military regulations, various reward and punishment systems, and adapted military songs.

Wang Xingxin said to the crowd who were reading the military handbook: "This booklet is intended to be a copy of this booklet in my new barracks, and all the regulations in it must be memorized. ”

Changsun Chong took the booklet and looked at it and said: "Deputy regiment commander, this booklet is good, the military regulations are strict and reasonable, although the military song can't be sung now, but although the words are straightforward, they are very imposing!" It's just that my Datang soldiers don't know much! ”

"The chief of staff does not have to worry, in less than half a year, everyone in our new regiment will be literate, and what the political commissar and various instructors should do in addition to ideological and political education is to teach these soldiers to read and write in addition to training! In the future, this reading and literacy will be an important assessment! ”

Not only Changsun Chong and Niu Jinda, but everyone was stunned when they heard that Wang Xingxin wanted everyone to read and write, and Changsun Chong said in an obviously trembling voice: "Deputy head of the regiment, do you know what you are talking about?" How is it possible to let all soldiers read and write? ”

Changsun Chong's words represented the common aspirations of everyone present, and Wang Xingxin replied with a smile: "Not only to teach reading and literacy, but the head of this regiment will also ask Your Majesty to let you come to our new barracks to teach the art of war to junior officers in our new barracks!" ”

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard this, Wang Xingxin suppressed everyone's surprised voice with his hand and said: "Is it only you noble children who can read and write?" Only you generals can learn the art of war? Children from poor families can also be! I'm an ordinary soldier in Datang, too! This 5,000 new army is not just a new army, this is the seed! Seeds, do you understand? You are a seed of seeds! Don't let down Your Majesty's high expectations for us! ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong sighed and said: "I heard my father say that the son of Lantian County is smart and talented, and he is even more full of thaumaturgy. Today, I learned that Lantian County has a lot of wins, and it can't be as good as Lantian County! In the future, he will be the deputy head of the regiment! For Your Majesty, for the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Haha, the eldest grandson is very good! You and I work together for Your Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty! More for you and me to fight for eternal feats! Let Datang be proud of us, and we are also proud of being the people of Datang! ”

Everyone was convinced!

Wang Xingxin gritted his teeth and said: "There is also that family, that family that is pretentious and deceitful too much!" When the people of the Tang Dynasty and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty all read the books, they were all ideologically and politically educated by the political commissars, and I watched how the family existed! ”

Niu Jinda was shocked when he heard this: "Ming Shen! Whatever! Don't say it again! ”

The eldest grandson Chong also hurriedly said: "Deputy head of the regiment, don't mention this in front of others, your father also mentioned it to Chong, and I will talk about it in the future, don't mention it again!" ”

Wang Xingxin shook his head and said: "If I don't say this to my brothers today, I am very depressed in my heart!" If it weren't for this family, how could Ming Shen have worked in this new military camp? It's been a long time since the wife and children were on the hot kang and were free in the mountains! If the family breaks the original intention of Ming Shen, then Ming Shen will break the foundation of the family! I am good, why am I being bullied? ”

Niu Jinda pulled Wang Xingxin and said: "Ming Shen, listen to Uncle Niu's words, the coming day will be long!" Do what is in front of you. ”

Seeing that Wang Xingxin agreed, he said: "You go and get familiar with this military camp, you have to explain to them how to train first, there are still a few hours before dark, you can explain it first, let these boys know in their hearts, and after the distribution of soldiers tomorrow, it is better to train faster." ”

"Uncle Niu, don't panic about this matter, the little nephew suddenly remembered that Uncle Qin was still in the village, and the little nephew who was recuperating had already thought about it, and asked Uncle Niu to allow me to go back to the village."

After speaking, he looked at Qin Huaidao and said, "Brother Huaidao, it's better to go together!" ”

When Niu Jinda heard this, he immediately agreed to Wang Xingxin's return to the village.

On the way back, Wang Xingxin said to Qin Huaidao: "Brother Huaidao, the younger brother will go to write the recipe in a while, you ask Qin Yong to find a carriage to pull some saltpeter to the barracks, I am afraid that it will be difficult tonight if I am not sick with fever.....

"Ming Shen, you won't get saltpeter under the guise of sending your father a prescription for recuperation, right?"

Wang Xingxin, who was exposed, said cheekily: "How can Brother Huaidao think like this!" It's just a matter of getting that saltpeter! ”

After speaking, he didn't dare to look at Qin Huaidao with a red face, and whipped the little yellow horse with a whip and wanted to run away, who knew that the little yellow horse was very faceless, and he overturned Wang Xingxin to the ground in pain!

"Xiao Huang.... This is the second time! Master's ass....."
