Chapter Fifty-Nine: Twelve Squads
After a busy day, everyone was finally registered, and they all joined the military household register. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info from the thirty-six young people, also screened out twenty-four people to join Xiao Yi's garrison, and Xiao Yi also sold half of the more than 30 horses obtained from the horse thief, and the income was more than 200 taels.
The profit of this horse is something Xiao Yi didn't expect, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even the ploughing cattle cost twenty-one taels, and the ploughing cattle bought are not the strong kind. The more than 30 horses that Xiao also seized were the strongest horses in the horse households, and they all brought out the horses they thought were the strongest before they went out, so the price of these horses was naturally relatively high, and each horse was sold for more than 20 taels.
Xiao Yi bought some of the horses because so many horses can't afford to keep his own fort now, and it's okay to keep half of them. I still have more than two hundred taels left over from my expenses these days, and it is still a little difficult to build an ancestral hall and a house, these people do not have the ability to feed themselves, and they still have to rely on Xiao Yi to eat, and this money will not last long.
Half of this horse was sold, not only saving half of the horse feed money, but also earning more than 200 taels, at this time, Xiao Yi had more than 500 taels in his hands, and he had money in his hand, so he felt a lot more settled in his heart.
Early in the morning, it was just dawn, and He Ping had not yet prepared a meal, so Xiao Yi summoned a total of 68 people, including the new soldiers and old subordinates, to come out and gather.
At this time, these sixty-eight people stood in the open space, all of them were wearing brand-new mandarin duck battle jackets, and even the old subordinates took out the mandarin duck battle jackets that they had not been willing to wear new ones and put them on the outside, unlike the new soldiers, these veterans did not have a small square mark on their bodies.
The small markers on the recruits are all painted with vertical bars, ranging from three lanes to one to one. Everyone was in high spirits, waiting for Xiao Yi and the others at the front to speak.
Liu Tong also put on his own set of small flag official uniforms, and he was so unhappy with his waist card. This kid stood up at this time and said loudly, "Hurry up, all stand up, Lord Zongqi has spoken!" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Yi with some flattery, but Xiao Yi didn't say anything.
The recruits were suddenly a little flustered, and the veterans were all standing there neatly, one by one like a weather vane, giving the flustered recruits the standard for comparison, and they all stood up soon after the panic, and they were actually neat.
Xiao Yi is still very satisfied with the performance of these recruits, these people have never been trained to stand up so quickly, and the performance of his old subordinates is much better than that of his old subordinates, of course, there are still these veterans in the heart, which is also the reason why Xiao Yi put them together to train. It's always quicker to bring a new recruit with a veteran than to start training again.
This is also what Xiao Yi intended, these veterans followed him from the defense of the capital division to the establishment of Tunpu, and these people were already considered qualified veterans. Having recruits train and fight with them allows recruits to grow quickly, and these veterans can talk to recruits about their experiences in normal times, which is more effective than training for a few days on their own.
"Shi Gang, send weapons!" Shi Gang sighed, and Shi Lu and a few people came over with two wooden boxes, and the wooden boxes were placed on the ground and opened, revealing spears, rattan cards, and waist knives. These recruits were looking forward to seeing it, is this the weapon they are going to have?
Xiao Yi studied all night last night, although it was inconvenient to use a brush, but Xiao Yi also had to do it himself, because the assignment of recruit positions is related to the effectiveness of training and whether it can be successful in combat, so he can only do it himself.
So Xiao Yi made a list last night according to Shi Gang's record of the strength of the recruits during the day, among these recruits, there are a total of eighteen people with medium strength and two vertical paintings, two people with slightly greater strength and three vertical paintings, and four people with weak strength and one vertical painting. Xiao Yi re-disrupted all the distributions and integrated the eighteen recruits into the veterans.
It was still a squad of five, with a squad leader, and two knife players with rattan cards and waist knives in the squad, who protected three pikemen with guns in both hands. Xiao also integrated all 18 recruits into the 42 veterans and divided them into 12 squads, each of which was a veteran, with Liu Sheng and Wang Dashan both being one of the squad leaders.
Xiao Yi also set up a night not to collect the team, there were two veterans left, they took four weaker recruits to serve as the initial night no horse team, Wang Dayong was familiar with horses, Xiao Yi asked him to choose six more robust horses from all the horses for them to mount. And Wang Dayong, the captain of the team that does not collect horses at night, is naturally the one who will not give in.
The remaining twelve teams let Huang Yang lead four teams, Shi Gang led three teams, Shi Lu led three teams, and Liu Tong also had two teams.
Liu Tong was overflowing with excitement when he heard that Xiao Yi actually let himself lead two teams, which showed that Xiao Yi finally regarded him as his own, Xiao Yi's attitude towards Liu Tong has been lukewarm for so long, which also made Liu Tong feel uneasy all the time.
Now, this already shows that Xiao Yi regards himself as a confidant like Shi Gang and them, although there are fewer people than others, but this does not affect Liu Tong's excitement.
In this way, if the management is carried out at all levels, and the veterans lead the recruits, everyone will definitely become familiar with it as soon as possible, and the training will be more convenient and efficient.
Subsequently, the day's training began, everyone found their own team, lined up in the open space, Shi Gang and others then distributed weapons to the recruits, some of the recruits got spears, some people got rattan cards and waist knives, all excited to watch and discuss with each other.
A recruit touched the spear in his hand, this spear was not the kind of guard shoddy production, it was carefully selected by Xiao Yi from the treasury of Changning Town that day.
I saw this spear, the length of the spear is about one zhang, the head of the spear is made of iron, the shape is like a duck's beak, it is a typical Ming standard spear. It's just that although the spear was carefully selected by Xiao Yi from the many spears in the treasury, the head of the spear was also a little rusty. Xiao Yixin said that in the future, he still has to make his own big production or capture the Tartar tiger gun.
Xiao Yi looked at the whispering recruits and the motionless veterans, clapped his palms, the recruits and veterans all looked up, Xiao Yi pulled out the Qi family knife on his waist, causing a burst of whispering.
Xiao Yi didn't stop it, and said loudly, "Qi Ye once said." Open a big formation, against the big enemy. Thousands of people lined up in the grand array, and the brave could not go first, and the cowardly could not be behind. Poke the guns, there is only one person in the army, so invincible in the world. ”
After a pause, he said, "I recruited you yesterday so that you can have some self-defense skills in this troubled time, so as to protect your wife and family." Xiao Yi's expression was very serious, and the recruits and veterans below all subconsciously stood up straighter, listening with their necks straight, and even the Huang Yang people led by him also looked serious.
Xiao Yi raised the Qi family knife, "The veterans follow the recruits and listen to my orders." Everyone below was shocked, the recruits were even more nervous, and even the veterans were expressionless and just waited for Xiao Yi's order.
But Xiao Yi didn't speak for a long time, until the recruits were a little slack, and suddenly Qi Jiadao made a move, "Top shield!" ”
The veterans reacted immediately, and the sword players of each team immediately shouted and held their shields in front of the three pikemen in the middle. Only a few of the recruits reacted, and even though Shi Gang had explained to them for a long time yesterday, most of them were still at a loss.
Xiao Yi looked a little annoyed, and opened his mouth: "What? Can't react? Why can other people react because you are the first day in the army? Cheer me up! After hearing this, the recruits looked at the veterans in front of them who were motionless with their shields on their faces, and their faces were ashamed.
After turning around, Xiao Yi raised the Qi family knife again, and the veterans immediately withdrew their shields, made a 'whew' sound, and waited for the next move. Xiao Yi yelled, "Raise the gun!" ”
"Huh!" This time, everyone was nervous, and no one could react. The recruits were all like the veterans, pulling their necks and yelling.
"Huh!"
All spears were raised in the air, motionless.
Xiao Yi watched the movements of the recruits with satisfaction, although there were also many people who moved slowly, their movements were not very neat, and they did not shout very loudly. But that's good, it's good to have that on the first day.
Those recruits who felt that they were moving a little slowly lowered their eyes and didn't dare to look at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi saw it but didn't say much, Qi Jiadao turned around, and roared again: "Bayonet!" ”
Those recruits didn't have time to be grateful, so they immediately cheered up for fear that they would be slow again, and followed the spear and stabbed out! There was another 'whirring' in the field.
