Chapter 3 Differences Section 22 Armament
Early the next morning, Liu Yao found Mei Xianzhuo with a porridge bowl and enjoyed a working breakfast with the owner of Mei who had just started breakfast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Yao nodded and asked about the military equipment in the village. While accepting the influence of the people of this time and space, he is also influencing the people around him. Now the Mei family is also accustomed to the simple mode of meeting and nodding, and no longer insists on giving up the blessing of men and women.
"Nothing to do...... In other words, they are all armed. Those who have strength are soldiers, men, women, and children. Each family has weapons, and they can use whatever they like. ”
"Are there any ranged weapons...... Is it a cannon, a catapult, or something like that? ”
"Nope! If we don't rebel, what are we doing with those? This is also the prevention of seedlings and bandits. ”
"What about the government?"
"How can the government defend against it? There are 3,000 soldiers in Qiongzhou Mansion! ”
"Is there a lot of crossbows or something?"
"There are about twenty pieces in the whole village. Half of the bow and half of the crossbow. I also rely on it for hunting. ”
"How many weapons are there like knives and guns?"
"There are always seventy or eighty pieces. There are also shuttle darts, which the Zhao family likes to use, and they throw them quite accurately. They have a hundred pike darts at home. ”
"Is there any training?"
"If you don't practice together, you all play your own games."
"What about something like leather armor? How many? ”
"I have one piece. Everyone has nothing to protect. Speaking of this, Mei Xianzhuo pondered: "It is said that our village can fight, but this consideration is still not thoughtful." ”
"Has anyone in our village ever gone to the march to fight?"
"Nope. Even in the county, there is only one congratulatory official, who has been to Guangxi to quell the chaos before. He came back alive alone. ”
"One more question. If I make a good weapon, will there be a market? ”
"Yes, yes, not much. Who has nothing to do with a bunch of piles to buy this? Buy three or five pieces in a village. You don't make much steel? We don't have much iron in the county combined. ”
"Well, steel, I'll have it. Do you think our village should have some armament? ”
"Who's to say it isn't. But I don't have a clue. ”
"Wait, I'll do it when the harvest comes up. In the past few days, you should first let everyone be vigilant. The rice is about to ripen, and I'm afraid of change. In addition, I plan to teach a few children in the village to learn something about war, do you think it will work? ”
When Mei Xianzhuo heard this, he immediately stood up and bowed deeply: "What Mr. has learned, I can only see one ten-thousandth, all of which are applied to the world and learned by heaven and earth. ”
Liu Yao replied, "Mr. Mei." Naturally, I was able to teach the kids something. It's just that after learning these things, you will inevitably have to face some things that you would not have faced. Like, just like being a sailor, there are more chances of drowning. ”
"It's not peaceful. We must collect more grain, dry more salt, and make a fortune. But in this way, there will be more people who make up their minds. Danger is not something you can dodge from it. Mei Xianzhuo said calmly.
The two were discussing, and Mei Jiaju limped over: "Dad, sir, I can go." I also want to learn how to march and fight."
Looking at his son, Mei Xianzhuo said to Liu Yao: "This child's life was saved by you......"
Liu Yao hurriedly interrupted him: "So you can't lose it in my hands anymore." I will teach him, and I will try to protect him. As he spoke, he patted Xiaomei on the shoulder: "Have a good rest, and start physical education class tomorrow." ”
Xiaomei tilted her body, stabilized her body, and grinned.
"You've seen what happened yesterday. Thankfully, they didn't come to life. A group of children stood on the barn, and Liu Yao said to everyone with a serious face.
"It's hard to say. If Uncle Lee, my father, and my husband hadn't stopped them, I'm afraid this wouldn't have been the case. Mei Jiaju stood up straight and opened his mouth.
"It makes sense that there are dangers everywhere in this world, so we must learn the way to march and fight in order to prepare for the unexpected. There is a way to do this, and there is a big difference between having a method and not having a method. Now I have a good way to resist the troublemakers, and I can go into battle to kill the enemy, do you want to learn? ”
"Yes!" The children spoke in unison, full of energy. Liu Yao couldn't get excited at all in his heart, some of these children were in such a bad condition. That He Lao Wu, his hands and feet are like hemp rods. There was still his younger brother He Lao Liu standing on the side of the barn, and the whole person was like an apple stuck in the chopsticks, he was not selected, and he could only watch from the side.
"If you want to learn to kill the enemy, you have to be a soldier. It's like being a scholar to be a scholar. There are rules for every line. ”
"What is a soldier? Is the Qiongzhou Mansion Shenji Camp the same? ”
"It's kind of like that, but it's not the same thing. The military I am talking about and the Qiongzhou government army are like the difference between a tiger and a cat. ”
The boys were eager to try it. "I believe you, sir. It's like you grow rice and my dad is different from everyone else. Zhao Fei reacted very quickly.
"Okay, let me tell you the first thing, that is, as a soldier, you must have rules in everything. Eating and sleeping are different from outside. Anyone who violates the regulations will be punished with a military stick at the light level and beheaded at the worst. ”
The children's expressions were all grim, and they all stood up straighter. Liu Yao picked up a piece of paper and read: "This is Qi Jiguang's military book." You all know that he led his troops into the gods. Listen to how the Qi family army led the troops. ”
"Whoever falsely claims to be sick shall be beheaded; Those who abandon their weapons in battle are beheaded; If the gun is fired early in a bird-sturgeon exercise or actual combat, it shall be decapitated; If the captain finds that he does not denounce it, he shall be beheaded together; Melee soldiers are responsible for protecting the Birdman, and if the Birdman is killed, he will be beheaded for his life; Whoever retreats from the battle, he is allowed to cut the ears of the soldiers, the captain of the armor and the long ears of the captain, the chief of the sentry and the chief of the sentry and the chief of the sentry of the chief of the sentry and the chief of the sentry of Collect the troops and return to the camp, find those who have no ears, and behead them; If one person retreats, one person is beheaded, when the whole team retreats, the captain is beheaded, and if the captain dies and the whole team retreats, the whole team is beheaded; ”
The harsh military regulations left the children speechless. Liu Yao put down the piece of paper and said, "This is the army." Everyone doesn't want to die. But soldiers are meant to do your life-and-death business. At this point, anyone is likely to back off. Military discipline is to make you understand that you may die if you advance, but you will also die a glorious death, and if you don't die, you will make great contributions; And to retreat, you will only die, and die in great shame. Of course, now that we are together, we cannot be called an army, but can only be regarded as a military school, that is, a school for learning military knowledge and learning to be a soldier. ”
"Excuse me, sir, what is the difference between a military academy and an army?" Sun Zhuang raised his hand to speak like a class.
"There is no other difference between the army and the military academy, there is only one, that is, the army must go into battle to kill the enemy, shed blood and sacrifice. As soon as the commander gave the order, the soldiers rushed forward with swords and guns. Everything else, it's the same. Liu Yao left the topic as soon as possible, and continued: "Then now, the first thing I want you to do is to choose to leave or stay." Not everyone is fit to be a soldier, and not everyone is willing to face death. It's normal to leave. ”
No one left. The wind blew through the crowd, and there was the sound of clothes fluttering, but no one moved.
"Very well, from today onwards, you are starting to learn to be a soldier, and you are also starting to learn to be an army. In the army, everyone has a position; The crowd is organized. Those who enter the army are called soldiers. 5 soldiers are in a squad and 3 in a squad. The soldiers only listened to the orders of the commander and their superiors, and no one else listened. With an order, you have to go to the water and the fire. ”
Liu Yao paused to let everyone understand for a while, and then said: "Now there are a total of 15 male babies over the age of 14, which happens to be one class, called the first class." The captain chooses himself, and the three captains choose the squad leader. Girls over the age of 14 are nurses and doctors, called medics. Under the age of 14, both men and women, are called training soldiers. The medical soldiers and the training soldiers were organized into a squad, called the second squad, with Liu Man as the squad leader. To call someone, call the position, or the position plus the name. Liu Yao shouted at Sun Zhuang: "Soldier Sun Zhuang! ”
“…… Ay. ”
"Say yes, sir! If you answer me, I will answer the position. I and the rest of the people outside the army are called Mr. and Ms. Again. Soldier Sun Zhuang! ”
"Yes, sir!"
"Good. Next, we will teach you how to sit, stand and walk. ”
Two hours later, a group of boys were standing neatly on the ground, their posture was very different from their usual appearance, and a two-meter-long wooden stick hung from their side.
"Captains!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Take your soldiers to my house and come back!"
"Yes! Mr! ”
Mei Jiaju didn't run, and leaned on the tree to do squat training. His leg has not fully recovered. Half an hour later, a class of people came back in pieces. Zhao Fei and Sun Zhuang ran in front, and he was the commander of the second and third armies respectively. The other soldiers dragged a long line behind. Although Mei Jiaju has not yet recovered, it seems that his prestige is still quite high, and he was elected as the captain and squad leader of the first army.
Liu Yao frowned and looked at his soldiers, and ordered: "Squad leader Mei Jiaju, you first give the second and third captains 5 sticks each, and then choose a captain to beat you with 5 sticks."
"Mr. Report, there is something wrong with the squad leader Mei Jiaju!"
"Ask questions."
"May I ask the reason for the baton."
"The officer was not with his soldiers."
"Understood, sir."
Five minutes later, Mei Jiaju limped over.
"Mr. Report, there is something wrong with the squad leader Mei Jiaju!"
"Ask questions."
"Isn't the gentleman a soldier?"
"Not a soldier."
"We are soldiers. Can a military man obey someone who is not a soldier? ”
Liu Yao looked at Mei Jiaju very unexpectedly, looked up at the more than 30 children who had all run back, took a deep breath, and said, "The whole team." ”
The whole team time of a class took a minute, which made Liu Yao a little disappointed. He walked to the front of the team and asked Mei Jiaju: "Squad leader Mei Jiaju, report the situation of the whole team to me." ”
"Mr. Report, all of my classes are here."
"Squad leader Mei Jiaju, repeat your question just now."
"Excuse me, sir, we are soldiers, sir, you said that you are not soldiers. Can a military man obey someone who is not a soldier? ”
"Soldiers, medics, and trainers, stand up! Do you think that a soldier can be at the mercy of someone who is not a soldier? ”
"No, you can't." "It's the gentleman's order." In the scattered answers, Sun Zhuang was still panting desperately, rolling his eyes and thinking.
"Soldier Sun Zhuang, you answer this question."
"I also think that other people can't, but my husband can, and my father...... Emperor...... The county order can be ......" Sun Zhuang replied confusedly, and finally turned into muttering.
"What do you think, everyone else?"
The children looked at each other, tried to stand up straight, and shook their heads.
"Liu Man, the second squad leader, what do you think?"
"Mr. Report, I think the army must obey the orders of the leaders chosen by you. Separation of powers or something, you said it, I don't remember it. ”
"Thank you." Liu Yao suppressed the urge to hold his forehead, and replied with a positive color.
"What is the purpose of becoming a soldier? Is it a hoe to help the weak? No, strong is not necessarily wrong, weak is not necessarily right. Liu Yao paused again and asked everyone to digest it. The first goal of a soldier is to defend his family. This defense may happen in front of you, such as eliminating the bad guys who come to the door; It could also be far away, for example, if someone is upstream and cuts off our river, and we must stop it. ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, Liu Yao said again: "But there are some things that the army can't do." For example, in order to save the water of the river, it was decided to kill all the raw and mature seedlings that lived by the upstream river, do you think it can be done? ”
"Can't!" "Yes!" "They can do it first!"
"No, you can't. We can't do the wrong thing. Zhao Fei is what you said, right? I'll do 50 push-ups on my own later. "Everyone laughed, and they all thought about it." Remember, the second goal of the army is to uphold justice, and justice is not to kill innocent people. Not doing what is wrong is justice. It's just that this justice is often difficult to judge. If there is a great drought in the world, and there are rumors that the Miao people plan to cut off our Shilu River, there may be more people doing push-ups like Zhao Fei. Because few people will think about it, should Shiluhe be Miao people, or should it be ours? Who has more access to the river? I think it's the Miao people. You may think it's Han Chinese. There is no unanimity in this righteousness. ”
"If justice is hard to judge, then what the military has to do is not be able to decide for itself what to do. One reason is that the army is strong. If a strong army only listens to the head of the army, then it is not Mei Jiaju who can do whatever he wants in the village? Everyone laughed again.
"So who should the army listen to? The army of our village should listen to the law. This law is recognized by everyone. Of course, there is always someone who gives orders, this person can be me, it can be the village head, and it must be changed every few years, so that there will be no people who can do whatever they want. Liu Yao tried to tell everyone a principle as simply as possible, and seeing that everyone was starting to be a little unable to keep up, he hurriedly braked: "For now, you all listen to me." I will train you and make you strong. Sun Zhuang, don't look left and right, train according to my method, you will be very strong, and one squad may be able to defeat the whole village. ”
Sun Zhuang hurriedly asked, "Sir, can we defeat so many people in the whole village?" When? ”
"A month." Liu Yao said lightly, stretched out his hand to stop everyone's chatter, and said: "Soldier Sun Zhuang, 10 strokes of the military stick, because he spoke without permission and did not use the norms to address his superiors. ”
The children stood in solemnity. Liu Yao shouted, "Start training now!" If you want to defeat your opponent, you just have to remember two methods: fight how you train, and resolutely follow orders. Soldiers, watch me move, gun! ”
In the world where Liu Yao once lived, people studied cold weapons very well, and concluded that the combination of the dense spear phalanx in the outer ring and the long-range strike in the inner circle could deal with almost all the enemies of the cold weapon era, including the cavalry. Liu Yao planned to let his first squad start training with spear platoons.
