Section 75 Changes in the Recruit Barracks

The dispute over the leadership of the eastbound army was soon over, but the impact of the dispute was far from over.

There are a lot of things that need Lao Luo's idea, but fortunately, he has paid attention to cultivating the ability of his subordinates for a long time, and now he can finally see some results.

Helton took over the chores of ushering in the delivery, including receiving the ransom from Bahamir, the secretary of the Duchy of Tau-Kralzhet, a large amount of timber, grain, and pig iron, which were being delivered to Lao Luo's camp one after another; Gonzhas and Naga were responsible for the security of the camp; The gendarmerie in West Tekk Nord was taking shape; Haydn's military medical department also recruited doctors from four different tribes, and their work was not only for the warriors of the camp, but also for a large number of large livestock; With the addition of many new recruits' families, Stan's lack of logistics staff has finally improved; Alk is now the head of the Scout Division, and most of the children of Cui Shibalang, Goshya, and those of the Goshu Department are under his control; Safavir's Bimawen did a very good job, and now he had more than twenty Qarluqs and a dozen Georgians, and at last he could not worry about the caravan and the horses; Li Ji has now become the head of the children, oh, the head of the orphanage camp, who is haunted by thirty-six ghosts and often does not come back to the house, and often educates these half-ignorant and half-intelligent children with Ms. Analia......

Olki and Mnaki took over the training of the boot camp, which is what Lao Luo is most concerned about at the moment. You must know that no matter how advanced weapons are, someone must manipulate them, no matter what era it is, war is such a thing, in addition to the competition of military weapons, it is more of a confrontation of human will. In the face of a large number of battles, once the people who manipulate and use the weapons are like loose sand, no matter how good the weapons are, they can only be a pile of scrap metal.

The new barracks is also the place where the whole camp has changed the most, and there are still many people who don't understand when they start to build the camp, so much open land, why bother to deliberately trim it so flat, if it weren't for the food arranged by Lao Luo and the expectation of returning to their homeland, these people might have slipped away half.

After Lao Luo led his soldiers to compete with the soldiers guarding the city of the Tang Battalion, many things were completely different, not only did the 1,200 people who were originally admitted begin to have a sense of belonging, but also those who were originally screened out and those who didn't have time to sign up were also desperately trying to squeeze in.

There is no other reason, just because of the worship of combat power, there were not many pure martial artists in the craftsman battalion for a period of time at the earliest, and later there were people who specialized in learning martial arts in order to protect themselves, after all, in this land in this era, only those who dare to kill and dare to wield a knife can survive better. Up to now, even the blacksmiths in the artisan battalion dare to smash people with hammers, and the carpenter's wife dares to kill people with wooden hammers or saws.

In this chaotic world, sometimes only fists or knives are best used.

This is also the reason why Lao Luo wants to bring the descendants of these artisan battalions back to the East, because he does not know if he can still find a martial Han culture group in the East. For the weak Song State described in the history books, as well as the Liao State with frequent ethnic civil strife, Lao Luo has no good expectations.

The number of people who asked for new recruits was endless, and in desperation, Lao Luo had to order another 200 recruits, but this is not the number determined in the future, but an option for the survival of the fittest.

Nowadays, all the recruits are strong men between the ages of eighteen and thirty, and this age limit has basically wiped out all the young men and women who have come out of the entire Tang battalion except for the craftsmen, and it is estimated that it is very difficult for the city guards to recruit more people.

The physical fitness of the recruits is first-class, I don't know how many times stronger than the future generations, because the life of the people in this era is turbulent, even if they are not busy people every day, they will not be idle and lazy and idle, but learn to polish their bodies from others, especially the Tang people have been in an environment full of crisis for many years.

The greatest benefit of more than a thousand strong men is obvious, in a few days, a camp covering an area of nearly fifty acres was established, flat pastures, sand horse farms, campsites, bow and arrow fields, and a small weapon training ground were all established, and the outer defenses were all in place in a short time.

The soldiers under Lao Luo have a heavy task, in addition to the increase in the scope of inspection, the task of training recruits is even more complicated.

Olki and Mnachi led forty men to train recruits, and each of them was responsible for an average of thirty-five recruits. There are few instructors, many trainers, and some language problems, which are just the most basic problems.

The most important thing is that these warriors under Lao Luo inevitably have some former gladiator habits, and they are all quick products under Lao Luo, but this is also a helpless thing, the schedule is there, if you miss this year, Lao Luo really can't guarantee what the situation will be in the next year, because the battles in this place are not less than the wars in Africa in later generations.

The first and most important hurdle in training recruits is to get them to obey orders. The transition from civilians to soldiers was a complicated and troublesome process, and the problem of lack of time was exposed again, so Lao Luo had to decide to shorten the basic training cycle as much as possible, and all those who did not meet the requirements were invited out of the new army.

Starting from the grooming, the posture of standing, the posture of walking, the posture of running forward, all the etiquette in the army, to the maintenance of the queue, and more importantly, the sense of teamwork, the owner of everything is to let these recruits know how to order and prohibit, which is also the premise of whether an army can be strong.

This training lasted for a month, during which there were a lot of jokes, and Lao Luo had to give a lot of unbelievable orders, such as the ban that everyone is not allowed to grow a long beard, and the order that no matter what hairstyle must be kept neat, and there are even many guys who are left and right, and Lao Luo has to order everyone to tie a red ribbon on their left arm...... Of course, because of the people's desire, although there is inevitably a lot of gossip, but after persisting in the implementation, it didn't take half a month for all the training recruits to begin to show obvious changes in temperament.

Kan Liulang, Wu Sanlang, Lu Qilang, and Tian Shilang are some of the more prominent guys among the recruits, because they are of the same age and grow up together, so they often get together and go out together.

After the half-moon training, the boot camp had a chance to rest for a day, and a few boys in their twenties sat lazily on the grass and chatted.

"Liulang, rest today, why don't you go back to see your grandfather?" Lu Qilang, who speaks, is a guy who likes to talk, because he has a lot of mouth and tongue, and he has been scolded by Norman instructors these days.

"If you don't go back, Grandpa is a violent temper, and if you don't go back, you will be beaten again." Kan Liulang rubbed his head and said sullenly, "Two days ago, when I was punished for training in the queue, Grandpa was outside the camp, and I saw him." ”

"Liulang, your grandfather is fine, at most he will beat you with a wooden hammer, Daddy Ne's is the real temper, and he will use a sledgehammer to smash people in a hurry." Wu Saburo shrank his head and said.

"It's better to have a temper than a wilt temper, and if I go back, my father will nag me to death." Tian Shiro's father is a farmer, he carried his father to the new barracks, "Alas, I don't know what we train every day to either walk or run, it is better to use a whip to drive the cattle, and there are many blisters on my feet." ”

"What's the matter with blistering on my feet, I've been knocked on the head for several times," Lu Qilang blinked his eyes, spit out the straw stick in his mouth and said, "Listen to what Instructor Haast means to keep in line and ask for unity in battle." ”

"You deserve it, who told you to always turn in the wrong direction, left and right! When it's time to fight, when everyone stabs and turns with spears together, you get the wrong direction and kill your brothers. "Kan Rokuro is usually very boring, he is a guy who likes to think very much, although he is strong, he is not brainless.

"Liulang is right," Wu Sanlang held a thick stick in his hand and swept the tender grass that had just emerged on the ground, "Although General Luo is strict and there are many rules in the camp, this is a good thing, don't you see that everyone looks different in spirit?" ”

"That's it, Qilang, your usual sloppy habits are gone, I guess my sister will praise you when I go back to your house now." Tian Shiro smiled casually.

"Alas, every day we have to take a bath, brush our teeth, tidy up the tent, the sleeping bags have to be folded, and we have to see the corners, and we have to behave in a proper manner when we go to the thatched house, and it is estimated that we will not be able to adapt to it when we go back." Kan Liulang sighed a little.

"If you want to go home, I guess the first thing is to clean the courtyard, or you won't get used to it." Tian Shiro chimed in.

"Hehe, we're nothing, the funniest thing is those beards, when General Luo gave the order, many people were sad." Lu Qilang clapped his hands and laughed.

"And those guys who don't take a shower all day and stink, they don't dare to be lazy now, and they almost smoked people to death in the tent at the end of the first day of training." Wu Sanlang also had a mocking expression.

"Haha......"

"Hey, it is said that the day after tomorrow will send weapons down, I don't know what it is, I like knives or horse lances." Although Tashiro's family liked farming, he liked cavalry like a general.

"I don't know, I don't like to be a foot soldier, like a big cannibal to ride a horse and cut people with a scimitar, the horse lance is too expensive, and it's troublesome to make, didn't I find that only General Cheng has one?" Kan Liulang's family is a carpentry craftsman, and he knows a little about weapon-making.

"If you want me to say, the long knife of General Luo is called fierce, it is said that it is two zhang long, weighing more than eighty catties, which is much more powerful than the Mo knife or something." Wu Sanlang's family was born as a blacksmith, so of course he knows the quality of weapons.

"God, that thing can only be danced by a warrior like General Luo!" Tian Shiro sighed.

"That's okay, I heard that General Luo's bow is an iron tire bow, at least six stones, a few days ago, when I was competing, General Cheng heard about it, and I didn't dare to compare archery." Lu Qilang said with a mysterious expression.

"It is said that General Luo came back from tens of thousands of miles to the west, and without superhuman force, how could he subdue the bandits and rebels on the road?" Kan Liulang has also heard a lot of news, "If you want me to say, it is a blessing to have such a leader, and if you can be the general of General Luo in the future, you will die beautifully." ”

"That's right, follow General Luo back to his homeland, lay down a piece of land, and marry a few beautiful ladies, that's called a beautiful thing." Lu Qilang lay down on the grass, his face rippling.

"Hey! It's still dawning, and I'm dreaming again! Kan Liulang pushed his partner, "Okay, let's go home once and see my grandmother, or I won't have time to go back to training." ”

"It's okay, let's go home, let's go!" A few people shouted and went back to the Tang camp.
