Marching a hundred miles a day is not as simple as it says, 2,500 people, always have to be consistent, and take care of each other, after all, being able to be selected and being able to enter the Jiangning camp is something that everyone dreams of, if it is said that in the process of marching, because of their own problems, they are eliminated, it is a matter of losing face.

Besides, the family members also set off, and it is a great temptation to be able to let the family members eat and not starve from the cold.

Therefore, these newly recruited sergeants, when they set out, showed a high degree of unity, took care of each other, encouraged each other, and did not leave anyone behind.

This kind of atmosphere, Su Tiancheng can feel it, this is also his purpose, everyone is in the Jiangning camp, it is a whole, if you say selfishness, you only know how to protect yourself, such a team cannot have combat effectiveness.

Don't underestimate this march, the meaning contained in it is very profound.

The walking route is all the way to the south, passing through Hejian Mansion and Guangping Mansion in North Zhili, entering Henan, passing through Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion in Henan, entering Fengyang Mansion and Chuzhou in South Zhili, and entering Yingtianfu.

Not long after departure, there were a few people waiting on the official road ahead.

Su Tiancheng, who was riding at the front, was a little strange, the matter of recruiting sergeants had ended.

Seeing Su Tiancheng coming, several people came up.

Wang Dazhi was a little nervous and unconsciously leaned closer.

Soon, Su Tiancheng recognized a few people in front of him, the two leaders were Sun Chengzong's grandsons Sun Enming and Sun Enzong, and the two young people in the back were a little familiar.

"Subordinate Sun Enming, and his younger brother Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, Lu Taibo, are waiting here."

Sun Enming and the others knelt down.

Su Tiancheng hurriedly dismounted. One by one, the four people were helped up.

"Didn't you leave a long time ago and go to Jiangning County, why are you waiting here?"

"My subordinates have already received a letter from my grandfather, and I have been waiting here for a long time."

"Well, why don't you go home?"

"Grandpa won't let me wait until I get home. lest it interfere with the recruitment of sergeants, and ask me to wait here. ”

Su Tiancheng didn't speak for a long time.

Sun Enming and the other four people are typical children of bureaucrats, and it is said that they can accept many preferential conditions, and Su Tiancheng also has to think of this, the Jiangning battalion has recruited 10,000 sergeants, and the scale has been expanded, and it will inevitably produce a lot of officers, and Sun Enming and others. They can be promoted to officers, at least they are much stronger in terms of learning.

Sun Chengzong asked his grandson to enter the Jiangning camp and made such a decision, and the reason why it had a sensational effect was because Sun Enming's identity was different, the son of a bureaucrat. In principle, they all want to be scholars, at least become rich gentry. Sun Enming is a prisoner of Guozi and has a very good future, but giving up such a future and entering the Jiangning camp requires great determination and shock to the people around him. By no means ordinary.

The reason why the recruitment of sergeants went so smoothly had a lot to do with the support of Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji.

Now, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji. There is a clear requirement that their own children also act with the army, that is to say, they do not have any specialization, they still march a hundred miles every day, and Sun Enming and the other four people have been waiting outside the city for so long and have not returned home, speaking of which, it has long been a kind of grinding.

Su Tiancheng quickly made up his mind.

"Sun Enming, you are a prisoner of the country, your identity is different, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, Lu Taibo, you are all students, and you are also scholars, since you act with the army, then your responsibilities are different, while completing the marching task yourself, you must take care of the overall team, from now on, you are responsible for all the marching matters of 2,500 people, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask, Sun Enming is always responsible, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo are deputies, how to divide the labor, you decide for yourself, do you understand."

"The subordinates will not fail in their mission and will complete the task."

Among the sergeants, many of them knew Sun Enming and others.

Sun Enming was in charge of everything on the march, and the news spread quickly.

Sun Enming is a prisoner of the country, a prisoner, and he is a prisoner, and he actually marched with him, and everyone was inspired, this is the strength of the role model.

Sun Enming and the other four quickly finished the discussion.

"The subordinates are in charge of 1,000 people, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, and Lu Taibo are three people, each responsible for 500 people, and they are required not to fall behind, and they must keep up with the marching team."

Su Tiancheng shook his head with a smile, after all, he was not familiar with all the affairs of the army, and this kind of arrangement made some children taste like a family.

"Such an arrangement, the responsibility is not very clear, I give a suggestion, the march is like a war, involving all aspects, you need to arrange properly, you can consider from three aspects, one is the speed of the march, that is, what you emphasized, no one can be left behind, to take care of each other, and finally everyone arrives at the destination, the second is the discipline of the march, the discipline of the army is the lifeline, must not be violated, since you have entered the Jiangning battalion, you must abide by all the systems, not to harass the people, there is no crime along the road, the third is logistics support, The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and in terms of logistics, we must not be negligent. ”

"You can consider these three aspects and make a division of labor, of course, you are still responsible for the overall responsibility."

Sun Enming listened very carefully, and when he got to the back, he blushed a little, and after Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he immediately bowed.

"Thank you for your teachings, my subordinates have been taught."

The process of marching is somewhat boring.

The family members who acted with the army, after all, their physical strength was poor, women and children, it was impossible to keep up, fortunately, there were sergeants in the back, who could take proper care of them, Su Tiancheng left them the meaning of silver, I thought that they could hire a carriage, but I didn't expect these family members, they were reluctant to take a carriage at all, and they also followed the people to walk, some children were too young, several families combined, hire an ox cart, and let the children take the car.

What Su Tiancheng didn't expect was that these family members were very strong, and when they set off, Liu Tiehan emphasized discipline, sergeants can't fall behind because of taking care of their families, and during the march, family members are afraid of affecting their own men, so they must not take care of them. In fact, Sun Enzong, who was in charge of the march, had already been flexible, completing a hundred miles of marching every day, and a sergeant with good physical strength could take care of his family, Su Tiancheng also acquiesced in such behavior, but the family still did not want to.

The process of marching is also the process of educating these sergeants who joined the Jiangning battalion for the first time, and there are some military households who are familiar with the system of the army, can play some leading roles, and objectively help the entire marching team.

The performance of Sun Enming, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations.

These four people, the identity is different, in the family, the identity is prominent, should be very hard, but in the process of marching, they behaved very well, there is nothing special, like all the sergeants, relying on their legs, walking a hundred miles every day, marching in large troops, it is impossible to stay in villages or towns or county seats, many times, they are camped on the spot.

Lu Taibo, who is responsible for logistics support, urges the sergeant every day to boil the ginger soup when everyone is resting, and everyone has to drink a big bowl, so as to ensure that the sergeant will not catch a cold, and every sergeant must burn his feet with hot water before resting.

As for the discipline in the process of marching, it is more in place.

In the middle of the march, Lu Taibing asked everyone to line up in line, and no scattered marching was allowed, and the team was always neat, and the time for short rest and meal was exactly the same.

Slowly, as time passed, these newly recruited sergeants began to reflect the qualities of soldiers.

On December 12, the team entered Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili.

There are still six days to go, and you can reach Jiangning County.

Returning to Nanzhili, Su Tiancheng has a feeling of home, although he said that he grew up in Shanxi, but before the crossing, he has always lived in the south, familiar with the climatic conditions and living habits here.

Two thousand five hundred sergeants have already shown their qualities.

According to Su Tiancheng's suggestion, 2,500 people were divided into several squads, each squad, with a specific person in charge, whose duty was to summarize the day's experience and put forward specific requirements at the beginning and end of the march every day. Whenever there is any problem or fluctuation during the march, the person in charge of the squad must immediately report to Sun Enzong, and Sun Enzong will decide to solve the small things, and Sun Enzong will report to Sun Enming for the slightly larger things, and discuss the solution together.

In this process, Sun Enming has never troubled Su Tiancheng.

This is also the requirement put forward by Su Tiancheng, the march of the troops, is the simplest training, as a commander, to make a decision, solve all problems, to prevent all problems that may arise, if such a requirement, can not be met, do not talk about commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight.

Su Tiancheng also told Sun Enming not to have the idea of being ambitious, in history, most of the outstanding generals have been tempered at the bottom, they are familiar with the requirements of the sergeants, know all the situations in the army, and since they have grown up slowly from the bottom, when they command operations, they are familiar with it and have achieved great achievements.

In fact, in Su Tiancheng's heart, Sun Enming, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo are already relatively qualified officers, they are knowledgeable, and after this march, they have grown up rapidly, and the Jiangning battalion urgently needs talents like them. (To be continued.) )
