Section 97 Countdown (7)
The first pure outing was a success, and the recruits did not have the so-called holiday mood of later generations, but devoted all their energy to training, and the children of the boy boy camp were no longer afraid of the tall, strong, blue-eyed former gladiators in the camp, and the former gladiators had a lot less gloomy expressions of the past.
Lao Luo naturally liked this change.
For a true professional warrior, killing is not a big deal, but controlling the desire to kill is the most difficult thing to do. Just like a professional businessman who likes to make money, controlling the greed for money is what is difficult to do.
People are often confused by what they are good at or like, and then they will use their preferences to measure everything, and the result is often that external things dominate and they lose themselves. The ancients said that good swimmers drown, and this is the truth.
No general likes that his soldiers to be uncontrollable beasts, and a person like Lao Luo, who has been in the military for many years, naturally knows better than others.
Since returning from this outing, the recruits who were not able to participate in the outing have also regained their enthusiasm for training. These recruits are actually not new, they themselves often have the experience of killing before joining, even if some of them are very young, but they are not ordinary civilians, and it is not an easy task for the descendants of the Tang battalion to survive in this land, so Lao Luo's so-called recruit training is just to teach them to understand military discipline, and to systematize and become more efficient in their original crude tactical coordination.
If Lao Luo's training of recruits is hammering the core of a war machine, then the job of the craftsmen is to create a hard protective shell and sharp spikes for this core.
The Tang people in the artisan battalion are all from the military, so they naturally understand the importance of the work at hand better than anyone else, in other words, they are also professionals. What's more, there is another point that needs to be explained, in the past two hundred years, all the soldiers captured in Hengros are still lonely individuals, and now, they are no different from each other as a big family, and they are often related to each other, and Lao Luo also slowly learned this fact.
The advantage of this is that as long as he Lao Luo is accepted by the people here, it is easy to become a whole with them, and the disadvantage is that in the future, in the face of people from outside to join this group, it is inevitable that a mountain consciousness will be formed, but it is still too early to consider this, but it is always not wrong to anticipate things first. In any case, whether it is checks and balances, or politics in the army, many things are always considered at the beginning and more important, which Lao Luo knows better than others, when he was a mercenary, he didn't know how many mercenary groups were brilliant for a while, but they fell apart because of the unstable foundation.
Speaking of the army, Lao Luo's small army had already been said at the beginning of the recruitment, the purpose was to return to the East, during which Lao Luo would take on the weapons and daily needs they used, and then reorganize them when they arrived in the East. At present, from the perspective of Xingzhi, it should be regarded as a private army, because although the recruits are recruited, Lao Luo does not pay them military salaries, so in terms of composition, there is no difference between them and the robbers who pull the mountain, how did that song come about? "Wind and fire in Kyushu", Lao Luo's team is huhula back to the east.
As for what to do when you get to the East? Lao Luo didn't feel anything to worry about, because he believed that it was not a problem to retain people's hearts, and he didn't believe in how good the so-called Western Xia Li clan (the party member Li clan Dingyan Army) was, nor did he believe that the so-called wealth of the Great Song Dynasty could really spread to all the common people, and he didn't believe that the Great Liao State of the Khitans could give the Han people a fair treatment, and according to the number of people in the East recorded in history, it was really not a problem to find suitable soldiers.
When Lao Luo was thinking about the army, the preparations for the entire Donggui team began to come to an end, and there were more and more trivial things, which were extraordinarily headaches, but fortunately, the most troublesome civil affairs of the Tang Dynasty were taken care of by the Li family, and as for the communication and liaison with the local Silfan royal family, Lao Luo had nothing to do with it.
Even so, because the most cumbersome equipment manufacturing has begun to come to an end, all kinds of equipment that need to be inspected and accepted by Lao Luo every day are one after another, from simple black gauze belts that act as sunglasses blindfolded, earth-colored scarves that block sand and dust, and straps that bind legs, to complex partial vans with wide wheel bases, and floating cars that are considered "high-tech" in this era, from a single item equipped with individual soldiers to large objects that require the cooperation of dozens of people, there are probably hundreds of objects.
This figure is not an exaggeration at all, logistics have always been trivial and complicated, national wars in this era often need to be prepared for three to five years, even in the early stage of World War II German raid on Poland was a full two years of preparation before finally playing the tactical concept of blitzkrieg.
Compared with the productive forces of later generations, the production of purely manual and simple tools in this era was able to prepare the combat equipment of nearly 10,000 soldiers in just two or three months, which is already a very remarkable thing.
You read that right, there are nearly 10,000 soldiers, less than 2,000 on Lao Luo's side, and more than 6,000 people in the city guard led by Cheng Shouru (this number is still the result of the recent expansion of manpower), plus the private soldiers of several big families are less than 10,000 in total. (Wrong, not including the Pei Wei family, they are now sending a message saying that they are not leaving, and the Confucian party of the Zhang family decided to follow them on the road, but at this point, no one cares how the three of them choose.) )
Lao Luo forced Li Xuan to do a census of the eastward march in a short period of time, and the accurate figure was that the soldiers in the Tang camp counted 6,734 people, and the rest of the population that followed them to the east totaled 38,847 people, of which there were only more than 1,900 children under the age of twelve, and the rest of the men and women, both young and old, participated in the entire logistical preparations, including the cook, the farmer, and the old man and woman with white beards were not left behind. Lao Luo did not experience the communal collective life of CHN in later generations, but he felt that the busy Tang Camp was not inferior to the legend of that era, "The hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves".
There was no time to sigh, Lao Luo pulled Cheng Shouru, Li Xuan, and his own logistics chief Stan. Anderson first distributed the soldiers' personal equipment, familiarizing them with their equipment and then teaching them how to maintain it.
There is no way, whether it is the former gladiators under Lao Luo or the city guards under Cheng Shouru, as well as the newly recruited recruits, there are many things in the new equipment, they have not seen it, including Cheng Shouru.
"Luo Sanlang, what is this? Could it be that this thing is also used by men who are soldiers? In the ordnance warehouse, Cheng Shouru was twisting a black ribbon in his hand, muttering at Lao Luo, and there was a simple-looking man standing next to him, Lao Luo remembered that he seemed to be called Zhou Zeping, the fourth in the family, and he was a wilted guy, and he also had a stupid expression at this time.
"Shut up, Cheng Damen, this thing is used to prevent snow blindness, and it can also resist the reflection similar to the bright light armor on your body." Since I heard Li Ji call this guy's nickname, now that he is familiar with it, Lao Luo no longer restricts any etiquette, and starts calling directly.
"I seem to remember that when you competed with me a while ago, you also had such a similar thing on your eyes...... But this thing is so exquisitely made, how it looks and feels like something on the face of a Persian woman. "Cheng Shouru's memory is good, but this guy's words are not very good.
Lao Luo got acquainted with him and knew that this is a guy who doesn't make people worry, looking honest and honest, he actually has a lot of eyes, according to the evaluation of Cheng Biting Jin in history books and romance novels, he knows that this guy is definitely the kind of Cheng family, and there will be no mistakes. Lao Luo said with a crying and laughing face: "I said Cheng Gate, are you willing to be blinded by the snow mountain, or do you think it's better to pick and choose like a woman?" ”
"Hmm......" Lao Luo's words are also quite bad, Cheng Shouru was directly choked and speechless, and no matter how critical he is, he is the guy who looks like a woman.
Lao Cheng stopped talking, Zhou Zeping next to him squeezed his eyes and pulled out something from the box, with an earthy yellow background and a crumpled square scarf, turned it over and looked at it, then took off his helmet and covered his face, revealing his eyes outside: "General, don't we look like robbers in the desert?" ”
Cheng Shouru was happy, he also did the same, and covered his face according to Zhou Zeping's appearance, "Hehe, big Luo, this thing is good, although it looks inconspicuous, going to rob the house will definitely not be recognized!" ”
Lao Luo patted his head, it seemed that it was a mistake to let this guy check the equipment, "I said, Cheng Damen, don't pretend to be confused, okay?" Your beard is still exposed, and you can see by your size, can any guy be wider than you? ”
"Haha......" Li Xuan and Stan couldn't help it on the side, and put down the armor they were fiddling with, very happy.
"Cheng Damen, Brother Cheng, General Cheng, I have convinced you, your ancestor must be Cheng Zhijie, the demon king of the mixed world." Lao Luo was also made out of temper by this guy's funny, he can do the position of a general, this guy is definitely not an ignorant person, he does this purely to enliven the atmosphere, and at the same time he is ready to get benefits into his pocket, by the way, he will probe the bottom of Lao Luo.
"Haha, of course, I think our Cheng family ancestor has never suffered a loss since he started fighting against Sui!" Cheng Shouru's face is really not thin, and he smiled very naturally, and when Lao Luo was a little speechless as he fiddled with the things in his hand, this guy suddenly said, "Hey, I said that Luo is a big man, who said that our Cheng family ancestor is from the Demon King of the Mixed World?" It seems that our ancestors have the title of Duke of Lu. ”
Lao Luo Xin said that he was wrong, and took out the commentary in the romance, but he reacted quickly, "I still heard the Tang people there when I was in Mombasa, Africa, and it seems that the weapon used by your ancestors is a weapon called the Bagua Xuanhua Axe." However, I said Lao Cheng, what kind of weapons did your ancestors use? Axe or horse lance? ”
"Of course it's a horse lance, the ancestor had a cousin back then, you must have heard of it, Qin Qiong's ancestor who was named Hu Guogong, he and my Cheng family ancestor once worked together to find someone to order a horse lance, and the ancestor specially ordered a batch of nine poles after the ancestor was crowned the prince of the country, and the horse lance I use now is said to be one of them." Cheng Shouru naturally wouldn't laugh when he talked about family history, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but answer, "I don't know where Luo Sanlang heard about it, the long-handled axe is a kind of thing, and the grass in the mountains likes to use it, even if the strength is strong, it is not flexible enough after all." ”
"I'm just listening to passers-by laughing, after all, it's been nearly 400 years, and the rumors in the countryside are always a little bizarre." Lao Luo casually snorted, in the end, this Cheng Shouru is from the Jiangmen family, although he has been in this land for 200 years, he still has inherited the remnants of his ancestors, but I don't know if this descendant of the Cheng family can become a good helper for himself in the future.
