The next morning, the school field outside the city of Ganzhou

More than 3,000 veterans of the Gangfeng Battalion and the trapped camp, including the group of soldiers who joined the army at the end of July this year, were neatly dressed and fully armed, and formed two strict and orderly phalanxes on the school grounds. In the www.biquge.info phalanx of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, every soldier looked solemn and stood straight, like an iron tower standing quietly. There was not a trace of superfluous sound in the audience, only the slight sound of military flags and the occasional birdsong in the distance.

"Not bad!" On a temporary stand not far away, Zhu Dadian squinted his eyes at the military appearance of the officers and soldiers, and praised, "Everyone in the military formation is full of energy, and they have already shown a momentum while they are still standing!" It's not easy! The old man could see that Mu Yuan had put a lot of effort into military training! ”

Pang Yue hurriedly said: "Lord Zhu has won the award!" At present, all the foot soldiers who can be used in Ganzhou Town are here, and the rest of the thousands of people are recruits who have not been recruited for half a month, and they really dare not take it out to make Lord Zhu laugh. ”

"Haha, Mu Yuan is always so modest!" Zhu Dadian stroked his beard and smiled: "Then let's watch the drills of these soldiers first!" ”

"Yes!" After Pang Yue agreed, he began to issue various orders, and the heralds under the stands skillfully converted these orders into various flags and drum beats, and then passed them on layer by layer.

After receiving the order, the two squares on the school field, which were originally as still as water, began to change rapidly, and various queue drills were carried out. Walking in unison, running and marching, the square formation becomes a round formation, and the circle formation becomes a long snake formation...... Over and over again, there was still not a trace of confusion among the officers and soldiers on the school ground. When he first watched it, Zhu Dadian didn't care too much, after all, he had lived a lot of age, and he had seen many elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, although these officers and soldiers in Ganzhou Town performed well, but they definitely couldn't reach the point where he was surprised. But as the difficulty of Pang Yue's orders increased, Zhu Dadian's curiosity became more and more intense. I saw that the movements of the officers and men were becoming more and more fancy, the teams were advancing alternately, the various arms of the army were exchanging positions between marches, and the whole army was collectively turning forward, backward, left, right...... Zhu Dadian was dazzled and dizzying, but the officers and soldiers on the field still maintained a strict infantry phalanx, the military flag was in order, and there was no confusion in the spears of Rulin.

As Pang Yue gave the signal to stop, the officers and men of the two battalions quickly returned to their original positions, collectively turned to the direction of the stands, and after a neat and powerful roar that reached the sky, calm was restored on the school field again.

"Good!" Zhu Dadian said this word without hesitation, and his face was full of admiration that could not be concealed, "The old man really didn't expect that such a well-trained division would actually be trained in just two months!" Mu Yuan is really good at leading the troops! ”

"Lord Zhu praised it falsely, many of these 3,000 people are veterans who have followed the lowly post for several years, and they all want to be replaced by new soldiers, and the humbleness is not guaranteed to have such an effect!" Pang Yue said with a smile.

"Mu Yuan is quite honest!" Zhu Dadian nodded with satisfaction, "By the way, I heard that you have trained a firecracker." Can it open the old man's eyes? ”

"No problem, Lord Zhu, please!" After speaking, Pang Yue walked in front to lead the way, and got out of the stands with Zhu Dadian.

After a while, under Pang Yue's order, the bird soldiers in the two phalanxes quickly lined up, lined up in two teams, each with 300 people, and ran towards the shooting training area with neat steps under the command of the officer.

"Stand-set!" "All of them! Turn right - turn! Following the officer's command, the two groups of bird-fired soldiers quickly stopped, faced a wooden target under the dirt mountain, and formed a three-stage strike phalanx with two hundred men wide and three rows deep in front and behind.

Not long after, Pang Yue and Zhu Dadian also came to the shooting training area.

"Lord Zhu, please see, this is the bird soldier of my Ganzhou Town, which is currently organized into two divisions, which belong to the Gangfeng Battalion and the Trap Camp, and are directly governed by the battalion officer." Pang Yue introduced to Zhu Dadian in detail, "Now they are ready to shoot, just waiting for an order." Adults, are you ready to start? ”…,

"Well, let's get started!"

"Yes!" Pang Yue nodded and quickly gave the order to start shooting.

After receiving the order, the officer commanding the Bird Gun Soldiers shouted out the password: "Gangfeng Battalion Bird Gun Division, all of them!" Reload your ammo! ――”

In an instant, the Bird Gun soldiers of the Gangfeng Battalion, who had formed a phalanx in front of them, erected the mouth of the bird gun in a uniform motion, and at the same time took out a fixed ammunition from the ammunition pouch on their waists, and after biting through the wrapping paper, they poured gunpowder and loaded lead bullets in an orderly manner. The whole process is like a cloud of peers, without delay, giving people a pleasing sense of enjoyment.

When Zhu Dadian was about to praise a few words, something unexpected happened to him. I saw a large number of auxiliaries coming to both sides of the phalanx of the Bird Soldiers, picking up clods of soil from the bamboo baskets they had brought over and throwing them above the heads of the Bird Soldiers who were loading ammunition. For a moment, dense clods of earth fell like raindrops on the heads and bodies of the birds, smashing them into disgrace and grinning, but almost no one dared to move, still loading ammunition step by step. Because, after countless lessons, the Bird Soldiers have already understood that if they can't help but show a trace of panic at this time, then the punishment they will receive after the training is definitely much more painful than this.

"Mu Yuan, what is this?" Zhu Dadian asked.

"Back to Lord Zhu's words, this is deliberately arranged by the humble position, in order to train the soldiers' ability to maintain their composure under special circumstances!" Pang Yue replied.

"I see!" Zhu Dadian suddenly realized.

This method was thought up by Pang Yue himself, in order to train the soldiers' anti-interference ability. Not only the Bird Soldiers, but also the Pikemen and Sword and Shield Soldiers will also receive this kind of anti-interference training. The clods of earth thrown by the auxiliaries were also carefully selected, neither large nor small, and generally did not break people's heads, but they were enough to cause a burst of pain. In fact, the throwing clods that Zhu Dadian saw today was just a small meaning, and when he was training in the past, there were many more patterns of interference. The most disgusting thing is that once Lu Qiwu actually made an argument to let the auxiliary soldiers pour dung on the pikemen who were training, and as a result, the soldiers who were recruited couldn't eat anything for a day, and Lu Qiwu was reprimanded by Pang Yue for this.

Silently enduring the countless clods of earth that fell from the sky, the soldiers finally loaded their ammunition in the torment, but the clods of earth still did not stop, and the officers continued to issue orders one after another.

"Load the arquebus!"

"All of them are in Game A! Lift! ”

"Ignition!"

"Ready! - Put! As the command was given, the officer in charge of the command redrew his arm that was raised in the air.

"Bang bang ......" A series of loud noises that were so dense that they couldn't hear the rhythm suddenly rose up, and a puff of white smoke rose above the front of the phalanx.

While the white smoke was still filling, the first row of bird-gunned soldiers who had just finished firing quickly retracted and retreated under the officer's order, retreated to the original third-row bird-gunned soldiers and loaded their ammunition, while the original second and third rows took a few steps forward, and the entire phalanx returned to the state it was in before the first round of firing.

"All of them are in Game B! Lift! ”

"Ignition!"

"Ready! - Put! ”

"Bang ......"

After the second platoon finished firing, the third platoon took their place. In this way, a total of three rounds of shooting were carried out, and after the completion of the firecrackers, the birds and guns stood as fast as they could, and appeared to be quite well-trained. At this time, when he raised his eyes and looked a hundred steps away, he saw that most of the hundred wooden targets that had been erected in front of him had fallen, and the rest were already full of holes and tatters.

Subsequently, the Gang Battalion Bird Soldiers and the Trap Camp Bird Soldiers began to exchange positions. Taking advantage of this gap, a group of auxiliaries also quickly stepped forward to remove the damaged target and replace it with a new target. Once everything was ready, the trapped-bird soldiers also performed three equally brilliant rounds of shooting. …,

"Good!" After the drill was completed, Zhu Dadian once again issued a praise from his heart, "With such a sharp fire gun and such an elite soldier, why should Daming not have a day of revival?" Mu Yuan, you are indispensable! ”

Pang Yue said modestly: "How dare you take credit for your humble position? The training of this bird soldier is still in the preliminary stage, and the actual combat experience is very scarce, and there is still a long way to go before it can truly compete with Jiannu. ”

Zhu Dadian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, take your time, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning." However, the old man believes that as long as it takes a little more time to be able to do so, these problems will be solved! At present, the drill of the bird gun hand has been completed, and the old man wants to go and see the other soldiers. ”

"Yes! Lord Zhu, please! ”

Next, Zhu Dadian watched the tactical action drills of pikemen and sword and shield soldiers up close. The high-spirited mental state of the soldiers and the explosive power shown between stabs and slashes made Zhu Dadian deeply satisfied. In addition, the pieces of metal hanging on the chests of some officers and soldiers also made him feel very novel, and after Pang Yue's introduction, he learned that it turned out that this was a kind of thing called a medal, which was exchanged by officers and soldiers for the enemy's head, and was a symbol of honor. Hearing this, Zhu Dadian, who had been in charge of the battalion, immediately saw the significance of this system, and couldn't help but glance at the inventor Pang Yue a few more times.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon.

"Master Zhu, it's time for dinner soon, let's go back to the city, right?" Pang Yue asked Zhu Dadian.

Zhu Dadian waved his hand: "No need, didn't you say that the soldiers all have lunch here?" Then the old man is also here at noon today! ”

Pang Yue hesitated a little: "This ...... I'm afraid that the food of the soldiers, Lord Zhu will not be used to it. This is what he said in his heart, as a person who has read relevant historical materials, he knows that Zhu Dadian is not the kind of Qing official who will treat himself badly in life, and the food in Ganzhou Town may be 108,000 miles stronger than other military towns, but it may not be in line with Zhu Dadian's taste.

"Hahaha, could it be that Mu Yuan treats the soldiers badly in terms of food, and he is afraid that the old man will not be able to expose it?" Zhu Dadian made a rare joke.

Lord Zhu smiled, "Seeing Zhu Dadian's resolute attitude, Pang Yue had no choice but to follow his meaning, "Then Lord Zhu, please come with your humble position!" After a while, the lowly will send someone to deliver the meal, and I hope that Lord Zhu will not dislike it. After speaking, he invited Zhu Dadian to rest in the tent in the rest area and waited for a while.

After lunch was served, Zhu Dadian took the bowl and found that there was braised pork on the white rice, so he shook his head and said, "Mu Yuan, didn't the old man say it?" What the soldiers eat, the old man eats? There is no need to take special care of the old man. ”

Pang Yue smiled: "Master Zhu is too worried. Today is the day to improve the food, and the soldiers eat the same way. ”

"What about weekdays?"

"Usually it's not so hearty, but three meals of white rice a day are filling. Of course, those who do not perform well in training will be punished and the standard of food will be lowered. ”

"Really?"

"How dare you deceive Lord Zhu?"

"Okay, you wait here, the old man goes out and has a look." After Zhu Dadian finished speaking, he put down the bowl and walked out of the tent alone. Pang Yue smiled and did not continue to follow.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Zhu Dadian came back again, and after sitting down, he said with a smile: "It seems that what Mu Yuan said is true!" The food of most of the soldiers outside is really the same as that of the old man. Hehe, if you think about it carefully, it's really an old man who is too worried! If Mu Yuan didn't let the soldiers eat well, how could they have such high morale? ”

Pang Yue smiled and nodded: "Actually, for the matter of military training, I am not very good at it, so I can only set a general policy for the people below to do." However, in the eyes of the humble position, if you want to train into an elite army, it is not difficult to say, improve the treatment of the soldiers, and then apply repeated and strict training, that's all. Raising food standards is only part of the equation. ”

"Improve the treatment of soldiers, repetitive and strict training ......" After listening to Pang Yue's words, Zhu Dadian thought about it.
