Chapter 22 Between the small river at the east entrance of the training village and the big river at the wharf outside the village, the sand dunes between the two rivers were transformed into a water dividing embankment, and outside the embankment was the wharf, and the water gate several feet deep was dug in the embankment. Villagers can go out by boat to the wharf to go straight to the outside of the village, but if they want to enter the village from the waterway, they have to break through the water gate, and if they swim in, they have to swim in the narrow and deep river, which is undoubtedly an important checkpoint to prevent the enemy from attacking Hanjia Village from the waterway.

In addition, the dike can also channel the flood water of the small river into the large river during the flood season to achieve the effect of flood discharge; During dry periods, water from small rivers is prevented from flowing out, and water from large rivers is allowed to flow in to ensure irrigation.

The barracks and school yards for soldiers to stay and train were built outside the trenches, within the walled gates, on open space with a diameter of hundreds of zhang, which could support the three passes at any time or return to the tulou through the guò suspension bridge at any time.

After appeasing the soldiers and civilians who had been killed or injured in the last bandit attack, Yang Ming began to selectively recruit 200 soldiers from the newly arrived homeless at the cost of the village's 500 acres of uncultivated mountainous land, and more than 100 of the villagers were selected.

In order not to attract the attention of the imperial court, Yang Ming did not dare to recruit on a large scale, and only conducted a simple screening based on age and weight, but also expanded the army of Hanjia Village to more than 600 people.

Because of the construction of barracks and school grounds, it means that the soldiers will no longer live at home, but live and train in the barracks, relatively speaking, it will be closer to the military training that Yang Ming has undergone in modern times.

Therefore, Yang Ming once again reorganized these 600 people. The basic unit is no longer a team, but a tithe, with ten people as a tithe, the leader as the chief, five tithes as a team, the head of the team changed to the team positive, with three teams as a standard, four standards as a battalion, called the Han family battalion, Yang Ming himself as the commander of the Han family battalion.

Yang Ming also spent several days drawing up a basic training plan with a view to conducting unified and all-round military training for these 600 people.

From daily drills and platoon drills to obstacle course drills, assassination drills, as well as marching and field camping training and guard knowledge, rules are written.

In addition, Yang Ming also arranged a certain amount of time in the evening to clarify the responsibilities and relationships between officers and soldiers, as well as to analyze the situation, explain the knowledge of weapons, and conduct military song exercises for the purpose of improving fighting spirit and relieving pressure.

Even in terms of life, it is also a unified standard. For this reason, Yang Ming had hundreds of wooden bunk beds and uniform wooden basins, mortar-colored coarse cloth clothes and shoes made as early as when he built the barracks.

However, the biggest problem at present is the shortage of weapons, the root cause of which is the shortage of iron tools, and the iron tools used in agriculture alone in Hanjia Village are insufficient, let alone forging weapons, and making guns and cannons is even more unattainable.

However, we should not stop training just because we don't have weapons. Fortunately, the eastern Sichuan region is rich in ash rods, which are hard and tough, can bend 180 degrees without splitting, and are full of elasticity, which has been an excellent material for making spears since ancient times.

Moreover, Qin Liangyu, a famous female general in the late Ming Dynasty, was able to make immortal feats for the Ming Dynasty, and the ground she relied on was the white pole soldier who used it as a weapon. Yang Ming can't learn from it, Qin Liangyu's Shizhu Tusi Country is not far from Dongxiang County, maybe he still has the opportunity to meet this world-famous white pole soldier.

For this reason, Yang Ming asked people to melt the non-spear weapons seized in the last fight against the bandits and some of the waist knives taken out of each standard, and refine them into spears. In this way, it was barely possible to have 600 soldiers each armed with a white-pole spear. Weapons such as shields and armor are made of local materials and replaced with bamboo shields and bamboo plate armor.

"The scarcity of weapons can be compensated for by strict discipline and the spirit of sacrifice without fear of death, and as long as there are cities and basic industrial bases in the future, there is no worry about not being able to make good weapons. Now it is imperative to train people well, people are the core of the army", Yang Ming said as he threw the brush in his hand on the paper and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, 600 soldiers from Hanjia Village were already standing neatly on the school field in the form of four squares. These six hundred people were dressed in uniform gray uniforms, leggings, black cloth shoes, and holding two-meter-long spears, looking majestic and radiant.

"Stand upright!"

Since yesterday, more than 300 newly joined soldiers from Hanjia Village have been learning the basic queue movements for half a day under the leadership of the veterans, such as standing upright, taking a break, and turning left and right.

Under Yang Ming's order, the veterans and some recruits in the crowd immediately told Yang Ming with a loud and consistent sound of colliding soles that they were already standing upright, while some of the sluggish recruits were slow to respond, and their voices were also very uneven, one after another, without the majesty that a soldier should have.

Yang Ming couldn't help frowning, but when he thought that these soldiers had only been training for half a day, it was already rare to have such an effect, so he didn't say anything, but continued: "Turn left!" ”

The soldiers of Hanjia Village also saw the displeasure on the face of the coach Yang Ming, and they all turned to the left more seriously at this time.

"Today is the first day of our comprehensive military training, and the first training item this morning is a cross-country long-distance run of 20 miles. As he spoke, Yang Ming was the first to run, followed by the soldiers of the Han Family Battalion.

The basic training of modern soldiers is five kilometers of cross-country, but Yang Ming asked these soldiers from Hanjia Village, who were born from peasants, to start from 20 miles, that is, 10 kilometers, because most of these soldiers are farmers in the mountainous areas of Huguang in Sichuan, and five kilometers may not allow these soldiers to achieve the training effect; Second, the Sichuan region is mountainous, and Yang Ming completely trains them as mountain warfare soldiers.

The 10km trail is a trail that runs uphill or downhill, through jungle, over water, or over ravines. At first, the soldiers could still hold on, but gradually some people couldn't stand it, but as soon as they relaxed, there was a law enforcement team composed of outstanding veterans such as Chen Daharizi and greeted them with whips.

In this way, as they ran, some soldiers fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the law enforcement team placed them on the side of the road, and when they had recovered, they were allowed to continue running, in short, the task must be completed, or they would not be allowed to eat. These homeless people are most afraid of starvation, and they are afraid of hunger, where are they willing to not be able to eat because they have not finished running, so they can only grit their teeth and continue to run.

"I don't know what kind of madness Childe is in, but my legs are sore!" Bai Qian, who had become the leader of the fourth standard third team, sat under the tree on the side as he spoke, kicking his breath.

With a "snap", the whip in Chen Dahari's hand hit Bai Qian's face, and Bai Qian immediately stood up in pain: "Chen Dahari, you are looking for death, don't think that you have become some law enforcement team next to Gongzi now, and you can be lawless!" ”

"The surname is white, you are embarrassed, the recruits are still insisting, but you are lazy here, you are embarrassing our veterans, I will beat you!" Chen Daharizi kept beckoning Bai Qian with a whip as he spoke, Bai Qian had to continue running, if he didn't run, he couldn't do it, Chen Daharizi was chasing after him with a whip.
