In the following time, the army directly began to drill. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Ming walked off the high platform shirtless, and slowly came to the wooden stake and wooden horizontal bar that he had ordered someone to build.
First, he hung dozens of times on the horizontal bar to get rid of the unbearable cold on his body, loosen the tense muscles and skin of his body, and then walked to the group of wooden stakes, and punched bare-chested, without any protection in his hands.
In this day and age, it would be an advantage to have everything you could do better than your enemies. An advantage that may seem small, but has a big effect.
Time slipped away silently, and at noon the sky that had been drifting with scattered snowflakes suddenly cleared, and then the sun actually broke out of the clouds, and thousands of golden silk threads sprinkled over the vast land.
Returning to the camp tent and putting on his clothes, Wu Ming symbolically moved his body twice. Then he looked at Ni Tao, who was counting the number of people on the side, and asked lightly, "How is it?" ”
"Everyone's performance is very good," with a smile on his face, three months of getting along, Wu Ming brought too much fright to Ni Tao, but this time the situation still shocked Ni Tao, "There are 50,000 soldiers who have participated in this cold winter training, and everyone is very active,"
After a slight pause, Ni Tao packed up the bamboo slips that he sorted out, as if he was talking to himself, "That is, the general, if you were someone else, it is estimated that there would have been chaos in this military camp a long time ago, to be honest, I Ni Tao has never admired anyone, go into battle to kill the enemy, swords and mountains and fires, go to the soup and fire, I am not afraid, but this winter does not wear clothes and pour cold water on my body, to be honest, I still have never heard of it." ”
Fifty thousand of the 60,000 troops accepted this, which already made Wu Ming very excited, as far as he first proposed this, just thinking that it would be good to have 30,000 soldiers to support it, and then the people who had been tested were planned to build a team of warriors.
In this way, if you don't want to, you are afraid that it will be more than worth the loss if you forcibly use this method, but with the support of 50,000 soldiers, Wu Ming's heart is already very excited, after all, when Pang Juan attacked Zhao and besieged Handan, he said that it was an army of 120,000, but in fact, there were only 40,000 real soldiers, and the combat power of 40,000 soldiers could withstand 80,000 to 100,000 ordinary soldiers at that time. And now Wu Ming's requirements for new soldiers will be stricter, which means that the new soldiers will be more powerful.
Picking up a cup of hot tea, Wu Ming took two sips of it by himself, and his eyes swept obliquely to Ni Tao: "This is also no way, our individual soldiers' physique is too low, only in this way can we ensure that there are no mistakes when marching in the field. ”
"Yes, the original general was also muttering in his heart, why did he have to train in this way, but he suddenly remembered something, so he didn't feel strange." Handed the freshly boiled water to Wu Ming's side and poured it into the teapot that didn't have much water, Ni Tao said softly: "Don't say cold water, even if you use warm water to let the last general take a bath this day, you will have some heart palpitations, but General Zhang Meng is not afraid, and he is more cold-resistant." I heard him say that as long as he adapts to that kind of environment, his tolerance to the cold will naturally increase, and this should be what the general's move means. ”
"Hehe, you're reacting pretty quickly." Listening to the news of Ni Tao's head, Wu Ming laughed inexplicably, because Ni Tao at this time looked like a teacher, and it was hard to imagine that he could be so brave and fearless on the battlefield: "That's really what it means, before you try it, maybe everyone will be afraid, but as long as you try it for the first time, and then have the bottom of your heart when you have the bottom of your heart for the second time, you will naturally have a little more courage, and then in the future, we can naturally not be afraid of these." ”
"Haha, I now understand why the general bathed in the cold stream water in the fields in late autumn, it turns out that this is a long preparation." After a few laughs as if the conspiracy had succeeded, Ni Tao put down everything at hand and took off his shirtless, "Take advantage of the sun rising at this time, and then go out to move your muscles and bones." ”
"Go ahead, but remember, the colder you are, the more active you must be, otherwise you will definitely catch the wind chill." Wu Ming nodded lightly and quietly admonished.
But there is one thing he did not say, that is, winter is often warm when it snows, and cold when it is gone, and in the words of later generations, this snow evaporates and absorbs heat.
But come to think of it, it is cold in winter if it doesn't snow, and for a bare-chested person, this temperature difference will naturally not affect too much.
After Ni Tao left, Wu Ming quietly walked to the map he had drawn, and everything that was depicted on it was Wu Ming's own hand.
On the topographic map, which is four feet long and three feet wide, only a piece of land is drawn eight hundred miles east of the river. This is Wu Ming's experimental area for the combination of military and civilian, of course, this is mainly to let the army serve the people, so that the people can experience the enthusiasm of the army, Wu Ming believes that more bloody men will voluntarily join the army.
A month was spent to help harvest and sow seeds, and another month, Wu Ming personally led the soldiers to dig the river in the Hedong area, and from the map, the entire Hedong looked like an oval shape.
There are two artificially excavated rivers in the horizontal direction, and dozens of small canals are dug in the longitudinal direction, and there are even more troughs leading to the fields.
The whole project was designed by Wu Ming himself, and he led the army to complete it with the people, and it was really difficult to dig a waterway, so he built a large reservoir nearby, in short, under this big action, the entire land in the east of the river will be irrigated to a certain extent.
At the same time, Wu Ming also ordered the people to irrigate the land with the dung of pigs, cattle and other domestic animals, including human dung, so as to increase the fertility of the land.
Of course, as Chen Zhen, who originally took over these projects, Wu Ming naturally didn't let him feel too comfortable, the money always had to come out without knowledge, and the previous gold was basically spent, so Wu Ming naturally gave Chen Zhen the task of gold, and this doctor was really unambiguous, and when he received the news, he immediately sent someone to send 100 gold, which almost caught up with the king.
Of course, people also have conditions, that is, this credit must be credited to him Chen Zhen. Wu Ming didn't care too much about this, anyway, he helped him, didn't he send the Buddha to the west?
As for the third month, Wu Ming mainly focused on military training. This is because the idea of integrating military and civilian use has indeed won the support of the broad masses of the people.
After all, in the past, the court only ensured the safety of the people, and would come forward to relieve the people in the event of famine, but in normal times, they did not care about the people's suffering, and they would not have the idea of helping the people. And Wu Ming's approach is undoubtedly a pro-people move, so the purpose of envying Bingyuan in his heart is much easier.
In addition to the 12,000 troops left in the three cities of Shaoliang, Yin Jin, and Linjin Pass, there were only 20,000 foot soldiers in the original Hedong camp. And now it has directly increased by 40,000 recruits in just three months. This figure is enough to show that Wu Ming's pro-people actions are all right.
