Chapter 159: Equipment? Soldier (text)
After initially handling the personnel, in accordance with the follow-up arrangements of the Chinese army, I thought of getting more than a dozen carts and going to the front arsenal of the army under the jurisdiction of Xuan Cao to receive supplementary equipment.
Of course, because they had greeted each other in advance, and had also sent "souvenirs" and souvenirs, the people in charge of the warehouse looked quite enthusiastic and cordial, almost overflowing all over their faces.
"Since it is Shangcao's instructions, my generation naturally tries its best to ......"
The head of the treasury came up in person, almost patting his chest and agreeing,
Then let's take a closer look at the inventory. The storehouses here are divided into three categories, according to their use, old and new, and important procedures, according to the tricks they tell me.
For example, the armor library is mainly for the supply of ordnance and large equipment for the front-line troops, and theoretically it is not open to us miscellaneous streams, but for the sake of money, we can also secretly let us in to pick up some daily weapons; The other B libraries are for the supply of secondary auxiliary forces and peripheral armaments, which is what can be opened to me, while the C library is the daily necessities and equipment of the army, and it doesn't hurt to take some more.
Of course, because it is a battlefield arsenal, it is impossible to have too many opportunities for fraud like the rear, and the punishment is also extremely severe.
This is also the source of their income and extra money, after all, they are the people who are most familiar with the treasury, and the inventory is divided into several camps and occupies a large area, and the location and quantity of various items are registered and placed by their own hands.
Of course, if you rely on the background to be hard enough not to give money, you won't be short of half a cent of supplies, but without their assistance, just point to a warehouse at random, let you take the trouble to cover the dust and eat the dust, and slowly find the Year of the Monkey.
Although the stocks for the tens of thousands of troops are already a little tight because of the tight war, the remaining stocks are more than enough to arm my small army.
Of course, under their kind advice, I "strictly" collected according to the reported military head, and basically achieved one per person, including the baggage team, even if the two teams did not come to the war.
Therefore, every soldier, regardless of class or duty, received me at least a spear, a knife, a card, a crossbow or a bow, three pots of arrows, a half-body armor, a set of mattresses, a pair of harnesses, a pair of boots, socks, sweat towels, rain hats, kettles, coils, wraps, tents, flints, grinding tools, nails, clubs, knives, axes, tools, and other miscellaneous things, and even saddles that seemed unnecessary.
At least, they are all seventy or eighty percent new military products, such as the crossbows used by the archery team, all of which have been replaced with crossbows, strong crossbow machines and iron arm bows of the standard army style, and in terms of quality and quality, compared with those we are equipped with, miscellaneous goods of dubious origin are much more reassuring.
The most surprising thing is that there are more than a dozen large barrels of medicine, although the color is not as good as what we are using, there are slightly more impurities, and there are damp and compacted auspiciousness, but take it back and use a wooden spoon to re-crush and dry it, and after a few sieves, it can still be used.
Although the other military officials in charge of the treasury during the period, for our kind of sweeping practice of holding chicken feathers as arrows and doing everything in detail, their faces turned pale several times and wanted to give their opinions, and after stuffing a few Huang Chengcheng's palms, they pinched their noses and stopped talking.
During the period, he met an uncooperative, with a straight face, looking like a dead mother, but he was called aside by his superiors and scolded and reprimanded.
"Don't Ignore Him......"
The other one who accompanied me said in a wide and apologetic voice.
"This guy has a sick brain, and he is an unreasonable stunned young ......"
"It's my own fault to be sent here......"
He said dismissively
"You go, we will take care of the rest"
"Under the command of Zhonghou, it seems that there is a lot missing......"
After reading the list we registered, an old man with a gray beard in the bookkeeper's account office suddenly said
"Are you interested, see something more......"
"It's easy to say......"
I thought about it and nodded. Tell the others to transport the picked things back first, and then bring the empty car back. Then he was led around and around to a small camp on the side.
In fact, in addition to the well-known three types of warehouses, there is also a Ding Zi Treasury that is not in the account books, but it is mainly a variety of miscellaneous things, such as the sundries and trophies recovered from cleaning the battlefield, and the blades and armor handed in by various departments.
After the coarse classification, it is piled up in a messy pile,
After giving two small gold dollars, we got a receipt of "taking hundreds of catties of crude iron", and then we picked and picked it up at will.
Many were stained with blood or other suspicious marks, but to me, it was like a potential treasure open door.
Although they are all second-hand or defective, there are enough of them to find something suitable.
Many of them are because the craftsmen are lazy or too busy, and there is no shortage of usable parts that have been returned here by the treasurers to be recycled.
Like all kinds of old and new tattered armor, tear down the damaged parts, polish off the rust, and put together some complete sets that are complete from top to bottom, just for the spear team that first engages the enemy.
There was also a pile of firearms, most of which had various damages, but at least a few hundred barrels that were still in good condition could be recovered, which was a surprise.
Other swords, guns and spears are also based on the principle of the more the merrier, and you can take as many as you pick up. I even found dozens of Mo knives and long axes, although they have been rolled or broken, but they can still be used when they are taken back to polish and rest.
There are also some hand hammers, nail hammers, and other strange and unpopular weapons, and things that I think may be useful such as axles and wheels, which are also packed and swept away by me.
Others may be reserved and disdainful of these old things, but I don't have this mental obstacle to picking up leaks.
"Luo Zhonghou, you also moved too hard......"
"How do we explain this to Shangguan......
Faced with the half-vacant warehouse, and their somewhat uneasy faces, I finally handed over a few hundred dollars and made up a receipt of "2,000 catties of iron materials for recycling", so that I was able to return with a full load.
After distributing it, there was a thunderous burst of joy, coupled with the previous battlefield capture, there was no request to hand it over, not only the gunners and auxiliaries, but each of them had at least one half-body inlaid armor
Therefore, the replaced armaments and armor can arm at least seven or eight teams. After initially having a neatly armed lineup, it can be described as a bit of a regular army lineup.
Then, I began to think about further unifying the flag and uniform, the flag is easier to do, except for the number flag on the left of the Longzhou regiment,
For example, the flag of the Gun Team is that the cat's paw is pinched with a fired firecracker, the flag of the White Corps is the cat's paw holding a crossed sword, the spear team is a cat's paw with a long spear, the baggage team is a cat's paw pinching a bunch of rice ears, and the future horse team, artillery team, and heavy equipment team can also be reckoned with.
If it is further expanded in the future, according to the equipment process and qualifications, you can consider! The situation is marked by the number of weapons on the cat's claw flag, and the difference between recruits, veterans and elite troops can be found on the battlefield to find a special sewing and rush out dozens of large and small sides.
As for the color of the uniform, it is more troublesome, although we are not a regular army, but one of the advantages of being a miscellaneous army is that you can decide your own clothing color, or in other words, you don't need to think about the color of the clothing at all, what to wear according to your own preferences, or it doesn't matter if you are bizarre, you know, those Turkish soldiers from Leizhou, or Wan'anzhou regimental training, still play tattoos and tattoos.
After all, the role of uniform uniforms in this era is mainly to facilitate battlefield command and distinguish friend from foe, as well as to strengthen each other's courage and provide a sense of collective security.
According to my ideal standard clothing, it is close to the relatively tight style of the sweatshirt of later generations, with cuffs and ankles can be tightened, the requirements are relatively wear-resistant, breathable and sweat-absorbing, but there are still many problems that have not been solved, such as the lack of tension and velcro, and there is no suitable elastic band, which can only be fixed with cloth buckles and ties, and there is also a lack of cheap and suitable fabric sources, so it can only be planned in the future.
So, since I can't unify my outfit for the time being, let's start with uniform colors and find alternatives.
As a result, I took turns to consult Han Liangchen and Fengjuanqi, and after the experience and construction of the uniform color in the army, the color tone I initially decided on was yellow, green, gray and black.
There is no other reason, mainly because dyes have a wide range of sources and are easy to obtain and cheap, basically using plant juice and plant ash, and even pot black, and boiling and drying in water, you can meet the basic needs.
It just so happened that my stationed team was in Anguan Town, hoarding hundreds of locally produced densely woven plain cloth, and I directly sent a pattern back to the local organization, and asked the local organization to dye it into yellow and green markinged pieces, and then cut it into a cloak for use first, anyway, when necessary, it can also be wrapped around the body as a latent camouflage color.
Then, I paid attention to the task of replenishing the soldiers of each team, although the officers and soldiers suffered a lot of losses in the early battles, and the battalion was full of wounded soldiers, but there were still quite a few regimental training, village soldiers, and volunteers who were ordered to come to fight soy sauce.
Although they are responsible for stationing, maintaining, protecting food, patrolling roads, levying and other auxiliary duties, if they do not give too much prominence to the table, they will generally be used as potential reserve soldiers, absorbing and replenishing the officers and soldiers on the front line according to their needs.
This time, he was ordered to gather in the rear of the besieging army, and the miscellaneous formation to assist the work also had seven or eight troops, about five or six thousand people.
However, compared with those who are good at eating official rations, for the gathering flag erected by me, the fledgling "Longzhou Regiment Left", there are really many onlookers, and few responders, so far only more than 100 people have come to recruit, dozens of people have been selected, and most of them can only be used as a supplement to the spear team.
"General, something is wrong......
Muron, the dead face, quietly walked up to me,
"Brother of the pacesetter, the three went out to contact and inquire,"
"I was invited to drink several times, but I missed the tone, saying that someone deliberately made a hindrance......"
"Mainly from the rumors in the regular army......"
"Got it......"
I sighed slightly, is this a small trick by those people, or a little warning that Wei Du commander can't recruit.
"In that case, you should first try to contact those righteous ......."
I reinvented my mind
"Try to get at least a long commission period......"
The righteous servants who were called "battlefield hyenas" were a major feature of this troubled time in the north and south, they were ruthless and courageous, experienced, and applied to a wide range of fields, but their loyalty and reliability were maintained according to the employer's money and deadlines, and there were also some righteous groups that spontaneously followed the army on this expedition.
These righteous servants are better at fighting in small groups, and it is okay to use them to temporarily fill the gap in the White Soldiers.
I continued to look at the team officer under the flagpole, with a helpless face on his face
"Anything else, let me figure it out......"
"It's really fate......"
A moment later, I saw Chen Junhou again, his expression was a little surprised, and he couldn't help but laugh
"Youde, this is the first time you've looked for me......"
"It's really damn it, for some personal grudges, I don't even want face and reputation......"
After listening to me talk about the previous situation, he was also a little helpless.
"Do you need me to appeal for you...... "Although you can't go directly to Liu Shuai, Du Junxian (Imperial History), or Master Qi, you can still think of some way......"
"Thank you for your efforts, but you don't have to go through so much trouble......"
I hurriedly stopped him, I still have a clear grasp of the basic priorities,
Without enough preparation and basis, I rashly faced these veteran military orders hiding behind them, not to mention the merits, and my current credit and reputation alone were not enough to toss.
"Okay, so what are you going to do......"
Hearing that I didn't mean to sue, Chen Junhou also seemed to be relieved. Continue to.
"It stands to reason that we can order the coordination and allocation of our soldiers......
"But it's just coordination, whether they are willing or not, it's not up to them......"
"After all, it is the order of miscellaneous currents, and it is somewhat reluctant to engage in military law......"
"Then, can you send me a letter of requisition from a supernumerary......
I also threw out a plan at this time
"And those people, servants, I'll see if I can raise some ......."
"You actually want to fight the doctrine of military slaves in the supernumerary camp?"
He was quick to reflect.
"It's not a good choice......
"If there were others, I wouldn't be like this......
I complained half-truthfully
"Those who dare to redeem in front of the army are mostly lawless and recidivist felons who speak lightly about life and death......"
His head continued to be a bit like a rattle.
"It's okay to have a small amount, but if you really want to be sent to your army, I'm afraid that it will ruin military discipline and morals......"
"Don't worry, I have my own way to concoct their ......"
I comforted him.
I really had to settle for the next best thing, and find some way from the people's husbands, servants, and even military slaves in those auxiliary establishments.
The spear team is easy to manage, as long as they can line up, as long as the stronger people and servants can be subdued. But the military slaves are in some trouble
A large part of the military slaves were prisoners, that is, prisoners who had been redeemed before the army, which was also a legacy left by Liang Gong, as long as it was not a beheading, the prisoners were always given a variety of fully used places as an additional option every once in a while after being convicted, rather than staying in prison in China and Japan and wasting the public's rice and grain.
As long as it does not involve the ten evils including rebellion, compared to the long cycle of exile and distribution to the army, when the army goes out to fight, serving as a slave to obtain pre-military redemption is also a shortcut to get rid of the crime, and it can even be promoted to a full-time official because of the appearance, but you must have enough luck to survive first.
"The ...... of the Chinese Army's Herald"
Suddenly, a Marquis Yu with a flag on his back said in a loud voice, holding a handscroll and striding into the official hall of Bing Cao, handing it over,
"It is the uniform order of the commander of the front ......"
Subsequently, Chen Junhou told me
"Your ministry is also ...... on it"
"And rest assured ......"
Random he comforted me
"According to the order of the arrangement, you belong to the third ...... before the battle"
"There are also the first and second runners in front of them...... is the main attack sequence"
