Chapter 42

Feng Jian plans to plan a separate area to establish a livestock farm, and in the future, all the meat and eggs produced by the farm will be owned by the Huluyan Mutual Aid Association.

Of course, it is mainly used to improve the food of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the rest can be handed over to the mutual aid trading field, and the Huluyan Zhuang households can use labor to exchange it at the mutual aid trading field.

The cost of raising poultry in Huluyan is very low, the hillside is full of wild vegetables and grass seeds, and there is a stream flowing slowly between the hillsides, as long as it is kept in captivity in the demarcated area, there is basically no breeding cost, and there are few diseases in poultry in this era, because the food eaten by poultry has no synthetic feed!

In addition to being used as a source of meat, the main role of poultry stocked on the hillside is to lay eggs, and the eggs of the general farmers are not willing to eat, and they are generally saved to a certain amount in exchange for daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

However, in Huluyan, the eggs were also divided into two, one part was guaranteed to be used by the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the other part was handed over to the mutual aid association trading ground.

Feng Jian personally experienced the extensive poultry breeding methods of people in this era, taking pigs as an example, the pigs raised in captivity mainly ate pigweed and some swill mixed together liquid food.

In this era, pigs are only 130 to 140 catties a year, and the meat rate of pigs is about 70 catties to 80 catties of meat, which is very low compared to the level of breeding in later generations.

Feng Jian was a farmer in later generations, and he knew a little about large-scale scientific breeding of livestock.

For example, the pigsty is heatstroke and cold, and the pig house and pig body are clean and hygienic. In this era, there was no synthetic feed to give birth to poultry quickly, so poultry in this era rarely got sick, as long as regular feeding habits were maintained, poultry rarely got sick.

Feng Jian compiled some of the methods of raising pigs in later generations into a booklet, prepared to train poultry farm breeders, and then spent a day drawing a map of the construction of chicken and pig houses, recruiting masons from various outposts, and asking them to build livestock farms according to the maps.

In fact, after the formation of the Zhenshan Battalion, most of the functions of the Shanzhai Command were transferred to the Zhenshan Battalion, and there were still seven or eight so-called staff officers left in the Command, and these people were not physically qualified to meet the conditions for the selection of the Zhenshan Battalion, so they had no choice but to continue to stay in the headquarters and do nothing.

Now that the poultry farm has just been built, a large number of poultry cubs are needed, so Feng Jian sent several staff officers to buy poultry cubs from every household in the village.

At the same time, a notice was posted to recruit 50 breeders of livestock farms, and the breeders of the farms only recruited the family members who had been taken away by the thieves of Mill Cone Mountain and Sow Ridge, and gave one work point every day and one stone of grain every year.

In the face of such favorable conditions, the women of the cottage who had lost their breadwinners had hope, and they signed up for poultry farms, and Feng Jian selected 50 people as poultry farm keepers according to the situation of each family, and then the women spontaneously elected the director of the farm.

Not long after the interval, Huluyan Poultry Farm was also announced.

After all this, Feng Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the matter, the follow-up development depends on whether these people under his hands do their best, and the operation of the cottage cannot be done by himself!

Looking back at the Hulu Rock in his own little transformation, began to glow with vitality, I couldn't help but feel excited, Hulu Yan is like a blank piece of paper, I will draw a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers on it!

……

These days, the most lively place in Huluyan is the training ground of the earthquake mountain camp, and every morning the loud military horn sounded in the training ground of the earthquake mountain camp, and the soldiers began their training for the day. Regardless of the severe cold, the villagers in the village gathered around the training ground of the Zhenshan Camp every day to watch the training of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion.

The military number of the Zhenshan Battalion was captured from the historian and was the standard military number of the Ming Dynasty army, which happened to be used by Feng Jian as the military number of the Zhenshan Battalion!

Its shape is similar to this old-fashioned telescope, about a foot long, trumpet-shaped from back to front, the copper surface is engraved with the pattern of the beast, and there is a small ring on the reverse side that can be hung on the body, and the sound of the trumpet can be blown far away.

At this stage, the number of people in the Zhenshan Battalion is small, and it is said that regular training, meals, and rest are all subject to the military number.

Feng Jian believes that at this stage, the Zhenshan Battalion does not need to be equipped with "flag recognition" for the time being. Of course, when the establishment of the Zhenshan Battalion was expanded in the future and thousands of people confronted the enemy, all units, divisions, and other combat units of the Zhenshan Battalion had to have their own flags, and many orders on the battlefield had to be conveyed through the flags of the flags.

The earthquake camp stipulates that in peacetime, the military horn is sounded three times for the soldiers to line up and assemble, and the soldiers must line up after the horn sounded three times; The trumpet sounded twice to begin the sparring exercise, and all soldiers must treat the sparring as a real combat and charge with all their equipment; The bugle sounded once for a short time, and the soldiers lined up to enter the dining place to eat.

On the battlefield, the battalion division horn blows once to prepare for the attack, and the two long blows for the start of the attack, and each battle phalanx below the battalion level will be equipped with military horns, and the same horn sound is the same when attacking alone.

Feng Jian noted in the "Training Outline" that all soldiers in the Zhenshan Battalion must act when they hear the trumpet, and the sound of the military horn is the sound of orders.

On the real battlefield, the battle formation must be improvised, and the drum beat and the military horn must cooperate tacitly.

Feng Jian borrowed from Qi Jiguang's "Minutes of Military Training" and stipulated in great detail in the training outline that the sound of military trumpets on the battlefield is the sound of commanders' orders, so it is necessary to familiarize soldiers with the sound of drums and trumpets during training and gradually form an instinct.

In late October of the third year of Chongzhen, the thirteenth day after the formation of the Zhenshan Battalion.

Just after midnight, a loud military trumpet sounded on the training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the soldiers of the two bureaus of the first division came to the square sparsely and lined up, and the military trumpet sounded twice before Yang Bacai, a bird soldier of the second detachment, followed a few soldiers in the same room to stand in the position of the second detachment.

Standing at the back of the line, he secretly glanced at the stern-looking commander Feng Jian who was standing opposite him, and the chief Xu Yannian, the supervising officer Zheng Qing, who was standing behind the commander.

Looking at the appearance of the commander and the two commanders, I felt that this day was a little unusual, and I began to worry about the roommates who had not come to the same room until now.

Yang Eighty is a lucky person, when the Zhenshan Battalion selected soldiers, he was not selected because of a failed martial arts, he lost confidence and was ready to farm in the Mutual Aid Association with peace of mind, but who knew that the entire cottage only selected two hundred and thirty-seven qualified soldiers, and after being divided into two bureaus, one of the bureaus would lack the quota of three soldiers.

Feng Jian selected three people with the top test scores from among the unsuccessful young people to fill in the Zhenshan camp, and Yang Eighty was one of the lucky ones.

After the formation of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion, the soldiers were quickly organized into detachments. Yang 80 was assigned to the second team of the second post of the second game as a bird soldier.

A sentry three teams of soldiers, the first team is a sword and shield soldier, the second team is a bird gun, the third team is a pikeman, Yang eighty They are lined up in three columns with the sentry as a unit, and every day they keep advancing and retreating according to this formation, after nearly ten days of familiar running-in, he gradually applied the training mode of hearing the trumpet and drumming, and the entire small phalanx he was in gradually took shape.

The soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion had three meals a meal, one meal of milk, one lunch and one egg, and two taels of meat every seven days.

After a while, the food and salary were sent home, so that the mother, wife and son could also follow him, thinking of these Yang Ba0's heart was even more hot, and he was even more looking forward to the future.

After more than ten days of running-in, Yang Eighty felt the deepest that there were too many rules in the Zhenshan Camp, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be punished by the sentry commander.

The sentry chief of Yang 80 and other recruits, Mashan, was particularly strict with Yang 80 and other recruits, and the soldiers called Mashan ** Tiger behind their backs. If you make a mistake in training, you will be banned from eating, just imagine that there is no food to eat for a day of training, and there is no one who does not hate the tiger in ten days.

When Yang Eighty was punished and scolded, he would think that because he was selected into the Zhenshan camp, the old mother and wife and children in the family would have a good life, and he would be satisfied when he saw them full of joy.

However, the supervisors in the battalion were very kind, especially the supervisor Zheng Qing, after the soldiers were punished, they always led Chen Laoliu and Zhu San, the two supervisors, to talk to the soldiers with a smile, and let the soldiers recite the camp training of the Zhenshan Battalion first.

"If you want to be a person in the Zhenshan Battalion, first do the things of the Zhenshan Battalion" every soldier in the camp training remembers it well, and the battalion training is memorized, and most of the soldiers who have been punished will no longer be angry, and then Zheng Qing will tell the punished soldiers not to be discouraged, and to learn to learn from others during training, how to improve, etc.

Feng Jian also saw Zheng Qing and the others carefully drive to the soldiers many times, and they were very effective, and he also praised Zheng Qing and the three many times.

Yang Eighty was assigned as a bird gunner, the wooden stick in the shape of a bird gun was erected on the right hand side, the so-called bird gun soldier in Huluyan was only in name, the bird gun in the soldier's hand was temporarily replaced by a wooden stick, and the blades of the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen were also not together, and most soldiers also used wooden sticks instead of knives and guns in their hands.

"Tick, tick"

The loud bugle sounded for the third time.

"All stand still!"

Yang Eighty-one was excited, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the first division general Xu Yannian shouting with a stiff face, and quickly stood up.

Each outpost is arranged in three rows according to the battle array, and the sentry always stands to the left of the first row of sword and shield soldiers.

The "Training Outline" of the Zhenshan Battalion clearly states that the position where the general outpost stands on the battlefield is the command position of the whole outpost, and if the general outpost dies in battle, the general team is exercising the command of the general outpost, and so on, so that the entire post can always maintain the formation of the battle formation.

Yang Eighty, a bird soldier, stood on the far right side of the second platoon, and he looked at the vacant seat on the left side of him from time to time, sweating for his absent comrade-in-arms Deng Ji.

"Now start with the first whistle of the first inning!" Xu Yannian shouted loudly.

Yang Eighty once again aimed at the vacant seat on his side, and said in his heart that the commander is here, but Deng Ji is absent today, and it seems that it is difficult to escape the military regulations!
