Chapter 170: On the Road to the Army (8)

Since that night's competition, Li Yan has received great respect, this is a world that respects the strong, as long as you have strong force, you will be respected by people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ten of his subordinates did not cause him any trouble, but on the contrary, they did what they said to him. They have never been more serious about the standing that Li Yan taught them as "military posture", not to mention any other skills, that is, from the appearance, they have obvious differences from before, and they are fundamentally different from others, which is something that makes them proud, because they gradually have a sense of superiority.

Under Cao Shen's advocacy, Li Yan's method of folding clothes while sleeping was promoted, and then there was a significant change, and when he got up in the morning to gather, not only was it much faster, but there was no longer any such thing as wearing the wrong robe.

His "military posture" has not been promoted, although his subordinates have changed significantly, but he does not dare to easily change the training method, because the Qin army has a complete set of basic training methods, and he does not dare to change it on his own, because he does not know which method is better.

Yeshan and Yangtian became his followers, pestering him to learn martial arts when he had nothing to do, and he didn't hide his secrets, he taught them a few tricks when he had time, so they made great progress, and after a few days, they were no longer the reckless men they were when they first competed with Li Yan.

It is said that they are Jiaoying's subordinates, and they should not be mixed with Li Yan all day long, but Jiaoying, as a county soldier, after escorting them to their destination, he will return to Pei County, so he is also happy and pure, and he can also form a good fate, so they will go, but they should not see it.

I heard that this conscription was for the Northern Expedition, and the Huns took advantage of the war period when Qin unified the six countries, and had no time to look north, occupying Henan and the fertile Hetao area, and they are now ready to take it back, so there is this conscription.

Li Yan is a historical illiterate, he doesn't know what year the Northern Expedition of the Qin Dynasty was, but he knows that it was led by the famous Meng Tian, and made great achievements, and built the Great Wall by the way, but he died there in the end.

Now none of this matters, what matters is when they really fought against the Huns, people like them have never received basic training, if they are sent to the battlefield as soon as they come, then they can only be cannon fodder, and what awaits them can only be death.

However, judging from the experience of the Qin Dynasty in previous years, it takes at least three years to prepare before the war, and if they still have three years to prepare, then there are still plays, and the sad thing is that they will need a long, long time to go back, and they will not be able to go back in at least three or five years.

We have to admit that Emperor Yingzheng of Qin was a great strategist, and his strategy for the south has basically ended, and now he has begun to lay out for the north again, whether it is for the expansion of territory or for the tranquility of the frontier, this is a necessary strategic deployment.

For the current strategic situation, Li Yan can be so clear, he has to thank the two teachers when he first came to this world, that is, Li Mu and Wei Yi, where are they now? He misses these two teachers a little.

He hated himself a little, he hated himself for not having a good understanding of the history of this period, he didn't remember who she was when he first met Lu Pheasant, he only knew Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Fan Hao and a few other people, but the others didn't know, maybe Cao Shen next to him was a great character, but he didn't know at all, and the Zhang Cang he knew before.

He didn't know how many people he had missed.

Now I can only do the things at hand and do a good job for myself.

…………

On the sixteenth day after their departure, the sky was not beautiful, and suddenly it snowed, and the snow was very large, although it was not as terrible as "Yanshan snowflakes are as big as a seat", but it could indeed be called goose feather snow.

The Qin army had a definite date for this conscription, and it would be a serious crime to miss the deadline for the march.

The march missed the deadline, which is called a loss of time in the law of the Qin army. Regardless of whether they are deliberately staying or unintentionally being late, as long as a combat unit fails to arrive at the designated place on time and delays the fighter plane, it is a violation of military orders and constitutes the crime of defaulting on time. The Qin law stipulates: "If you miss the deadline, the law will be beheaded." "Qin Law Miscellaneous Copy" has "Dun (Tun) Table Law": "The new army talks about attacking the city, the city falls, and there are still perched (late) not to the battlefield, suing the Japanese to die in the siege, and those who are sneering (false) are resistant; Dun (Tun) chief, Shi Wu Zhi (Zhi) Fu Xuan, Gan Yijia; Wu Erjia. "If there is a city that has not yet reached the battlefield and lies that he has been killed in battle, he shall be punished with a sentence of endurance, and those who know about it shall be fined first-class, and those who are in the army shall be punished second-class. The crime of failure to comply with the combat order and enter the combat post in a timely manner was punished by Qin Law according to the severity of the circumstances, ranging from the death penalty to the endurance of punishment.

Although they had not yet received formal training, even the most basic training, they had already belonged to the combat unit from the moment their names were written on the roster of conscripts, so if they could not arrive at the designated place on time, Qin Lu would impose penalties ranging from death penalty to endurance of punishment for the crime of missing the sentence, depending on the severity of the circumstances.

Even if the punishment is only a compulsory shaving of sideburns and beards and keeping the hair, which is a lighter criminal law, they are not willing to bear it, because the hair and skin of the body originate from their parents, which is a kind of unfilial piety, so they cannot fail to miss the period.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, but they had to keep walking, and some of them had fallen ill because of the cold weather and the lack of enough clothing to protect them.

The sick people still marched with them, although everyone was a fellow villager and the sick people were taken care of, but it also inevitably affected the speed of the march.

But he is also from Pei County, Cao Shen can't bear to leave them behind, besides, if there is one less, he will also be sitting.

So the overall pace of the march had to slow down.

Li Yan had also learned some simple herbal medicine to treat common colds when he was in the army before, but now that the weather is cold, where can he find herbs?

He could only find some ginger and boil it into water for everyone to drink.

Ginger has been cultivated in China since ancient times, such as ginger in the Warring States Tomb unearthed in Jiangling County, Hubei, and Confucius has a record of "not removing ginger food", which means that ginger is often eaten in the era of Confucius. Sima Qian of the Western Han Dynasty wrote the "Historical Records" there is a description of "a thousand ginger leeks and a thousand marquis", which means that if someone plants a thousand ginger, he can be equivalent to a marquis with a thousand farmers to pay rent for him, which not only shows that our country has a long history of ginger, but also shows that ginger has a high economic benefit, far two thousand years ago, ginger has become an important cash crop.
