Chapter 20: The bamboo shoots are deeply rooted
The rising sun slowly rose, the warm sun sprinkled the earth, and every recruit standing in the open space felt warm and excited.
Today is the big day for the sixth outpost of their Wenden camp.
Wang Zheng, who was standing in front of the recruits, had changed into a brand-new mandarin duck battle jacket at this moment, with a snow-bright steel knife around his waist, looking mighty and heroic.
When the recruits saw Wang Zheng slowly speaking, they all cheered up.
Wang Zheng still said what he thought in his heart straight to the point, and went straight to the point.
"From today onwards, my Wang Zheng will train with everyone, maybe you all have questions in your hearts, why did other officers and soldiers not conduct training, but we started training on the first day of the six posts?"
After listening to Wang Zheng's words, Deng Heizi and the others kept nodding.
The current officers and soldiers are slack, and it is not only in Wendeng, but also in the first half of the month, and the generals are already diligent in half a month, and in most places there is only one exercise in a month or even a few months, and this exercise is still loose and sloppy in order to show the officials, and the effect naturally does not need to be mentioned.
The generals only pay attention to the training of their respective families, and they don't care about the combat effectiveness of the rest of the guards, which is why the combat effectiveness is so low.
Gripping the steel knife handed down from home, Wang Zheng suddenly pointed to the city gate, where a few loose guards were pointing and sneering.
"I don't shy away from saying that everyone is from Yijingzhuang, and they are outsiders in this Wendeng City! How do outsiders gain a foothold? Only self-improvement! ”
"Self-improvement is easy to say, but if we don't train diligently, we can't even do this kind of waste! Are you willing? Behind him is the blind date of our father and elder in Yijingzhuang, do you have a light on your face! ”
Wang Zheng didn't talk much, but every word hit the hearts of the recruits, and after listening to Wang Zheng's words, several recruits quietly turned around and saw their respective families.
The recruits felt that the burden on their shoulders had become heavier, and suddenly something had in their hearts, giving people a feeling of indescribability and incomprehension.
Huang Yang, who was standing in front, said: "Brother Zheng, you say, how to practice the big guys will listen to you, and never discredit Yijingzhuang!" ”
Deng Er's dark face was full of determination, and he glanced back at the guards on the city wall who were sneering at him, and shouted.
"What Brother Zheng said is, how can the sons and daughters of our Yijingzhuang be inferior to such waste, and spread the joke of calling ten miles and eight villages!"
Seeing that the enthusiasm of the recruits was aroused, Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, pulled out a pair of leather armor decorated with iron pieces from behind him and threw it to the ground, raising his knife.
"Qi Shuaiyun: In the ten-room city, there must be faithfulness. Dignified Jiaodong, how can you be brave! ”
"From today onwards, my king will never pretend to be an official, and wear the same battle jacket and drill as everyone else! Wear a spear! ”
After Wang Zheng finished speaking, a large wooden box was carried to the eyes of the recruits, and inside were a rod-type spear and a brand-new mandarin duck battle jacket.
When the recruits changed into mandarin duck jackets and picked up standard spears, they immediately changed their appearances, and they were no longer the original dirty and messy image, and they were clearly dressed and armored at a glance.
Excitedly comparing with each other, the recruits felt different from other guards, and everyone knew that the uniforms on their bodies represented a responsibility, and they were more likely to become an honor in the future.
Wendeng camp has been an important town in Jiaodong since ancient times.
The famous general Qi Jiguang once came to Wendeng Camp to inspect, not only left the inscription of "Qidong Town" and "East China Sea Famous Domain", but also had a poem passed down to future generations, thinking it was a good story.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng blurted out inadvertently.
"Ran Ran Shuangqi is the end of the sea, and Xiaoyan is low to protect the wild people; Whoever will come to the remnants of spring, the unique wind will send short tomatoes; The water falls and there are still Qin Dynasty stones, and the tide does not see the Han Dynasty; Knowing the floating sky of Yi Island, I dare not forget the dangerous years; Knowing the vast expanse of hundreds of countries, I dare not forget the danger of the years. ”
......
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the soldiers in the camp all looked for a shady place, some sat and chatted, some drank and guessed boxing, and even the guards guarding the door were nowhere to be seen, and there was no one on the women's wall.
"Pedal pedal pedal..."
But there is such a small group of people, regardless of the scorching sun overhead, sweating in this Wendeng realm, this is the sixth outpost recruit of the Wendeng battalion led by Wang Zheng.
"Did these recruits have something wrong with their brains and ran around the city a few times?"
One of the guards looked at the recruits running past him, his face full of sneers, and when he heard his question, another guard soldier came over and cut off.
"You ask me, who am I going to ask, these recruits have been running for almost two hours, and they are not too tired!"
"But it's not, what kind of practice is running around like this?"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death."
After Wang Zheng arranged the army for the recruits, he found that although these recruits were all young and strong, they could not be in a hurry, they still needed to take it step by step, and they had to make sufficient preparations before they could start training, and the most important thing he lacked was time.
At this time, there was no fitness equipment, and the fastest and most effective way to improve the physical strength of the recruits was to run, keep running.
Qi Shuai also clearly mentioned the training method of recruits in the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", Wang Zheng benefited a lot, and felt that the most suitable method for recruits at this time was still this way.
Wang Zheng first asked the recruits to run around Wendeng City according to the queue, and Wang Zheng ran with the recruits, on the one hand, observing everyone's physical fitness, and on the other hand, secretly calculating in his heart to change the most suitable long-distance running distance according to the physical fitness of the recruits.
After running, it's time to practice the queue, which is very important for an army, both ancient and modern.
Wang Zheng believes that if an army wants to shape the soul of the army, it must first have a steely collective will, and the expression of the collective will is the immovable queue and military formation in the march and battle.
The spirit of the army appears, and the army becomes self-contained.
If Wang Zheng just wants to be a sentry forever, he naturally doesn't need to be so troublesome, and he can also sit and eat with other people, eat and wait for death, and wait until the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the customs to shave his hair into braids and be a lackey.
But Wang Zheng will never succumb to the Tartars, and since he has come to this troubled world, he will inevitably accomplish something great.
Now everything has just begun, even if it is a small matter, Wang Zheng does not dare to slack off, and he needs to think carefully before acting.
Wang Zheng wanted to train these two hundred recruits into 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers in the Qi family's army, and the backbone of the army in the future, such as the bamboo festival, would be made in clusters.
When the army is marching, it can be seen from the neatness of the queue whether an army is composed of tigers and wolves or pigs and sheep.
Qi Jiguang also called the strict queue and military formation "dignified array" in the "Practical Record of Military Training", and if it is combined with the strategy of "moderation" written in the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", it can reap miraculous results.
In the battle in which the Qi family army was said to be "flying when something is going on", the Qi family army rushed to dozens of miles away in time to encircle and annihilate the enemy with an astonishing marching speed, like a rapid storm.
Then, they quickly rushed to the place where the Japanese reinforcements must pass through to lay an ambush, and waited for the enemy to pass by, and annihilated the enemy by surprise.
As the saying goes, "kill 10,000 enemies, lose 3,000 yourself", but the Qi family army suffered very little losses, and the quality of the Qi family's army was so high that the whole leopard could be seen at a glance.
Wang Zheng divided the recruits into four teams of sixteen shi, except for one team led by himself, the remaining three teams were led by Huang Yang, Dong Youyin, and Deng Erhei.
The three of them were originally just ordinary people, but they followed Wang Zheng but became team officers, all in charge of dozens of people, and they were equipped with snowy waist knives around their waists, which they had never imagined.
Huang Yang, Dong Youyin, Deng Erhei and more than a dozen elders were all excited all day long, running in the queue as if they had inexhaustible strength, and they wanted to follow Wang Zheng to break out of the world here.
