Chapter 20: The Stick and the Enemy

When Liu Minyou returned to the shack area with the logistics team, it was already in the afternoon, followed by several donkey carts and ox carts, squeaking all the way. He purchased a hundred stone of grain, three pigs, salt, iron pots and other things, and strangely enough, Wang Yuanzheng also followed.

Chen Xin has just appointed five squad members and ten captains, the original three chief officers and the current five squad leaders are his middle-level cadres, Hai Gouzi and Zhang Dahui serve as auxiliary instructors, and are taking together to determine the role of each team's soldiers, that is, to set specific people such as pikemen and knife hands, the requirements for each weapon are different, rattan cards require flexible limbs, and the general army commander serves, the long knife must be murderous, and the spear must be strong and murderous, Chen Xin really wants to simplify the troops, but now there are too few people, only use such a small formation, The only thing that can be referred to is Grandpa Qi's mandarin duck array.

He saw that Wang Yuanzheng was also here, and hurriedly called Song Wenxian to come over to see the ceremony, Wang Yuanzheng's attitude was even better than a few days ago, Chen Xin did not have a living room here, it happened that Liu Min bought back some tables and chairs, and temporarily moved the two of them to sit.

Wang Yuanzheng looked at the shack area that was beginning to take shape, and said with a smile: "Chen Qianhu is worthy of being a person valued by the governor, and it is very different here in just a few days, and I heard that a brick house will be repaired." ”

Chen Xin remembered that this person still owed him a bunch of farm tools and military households, and said with a smile: "My lord's praise, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, it should be faster." ”

Wang Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Chen Qianhu, rest assured, the twenty households have already been arranged, and they will be here in a few days." ”

Song Wenxian didn't pay much attention to this fellow acquaintance, and said lightly on the side: "Lord Wang, don't forget the farm tools in Tuntian." ”

Wang Yuanzheng didn't dare to say anything, and explained to Song Wenxian, Chen Xin saw Liu Minyou looking at him behind him, and after telling Wang Yuanzheng about his crime, he went to Liu Minyou's side.

"This Lord Wang opened a rice shop, just on East Street, I happened to meet him when I was buying rice, he saw that we also bought a lot of other things, Baba came over, probably because he wanted you to buy at a fixed point."

Chen Xin suddenly felt that Lord Wang had taken a fancy to the consumer market of more than 100 people, and he knew that he had not harvested for a long time, so he wanted to have a relationship with him. Chen Xin had a bottom in his heart, returned to Wang Yuanzheng's side, and soon reached a fixed-point purchase agreement with Wang Yuanzheng, and Chen Xin's grain was bought from him in the future, and Wang Yuanzheng guaranteed 110 catties per stone. Wang Yuanzheng was in a good mood to make a fortune, and the relationship between the several people was a little closer.

According to Wang Yuanzheng, there are a total of 20 official shops in the Weihai Acropolis, which are owned by these officials, and Yang Commander has three, selling cloth, tea and salt, because Weihai is surrounded by the sea, so the general military households will boil their own salt, and they can use it themselves, and Commander Yang never allowed them to sell salt in the Acropolis, because he was opening a salt shop. There are five rice shops in Weihai, in addition to Wang Yuanzheng's one, there are four more, all of which are opened by relatives of some officials and gentry in Wendeng County and Ninghai Prefecture. Chen Xin is also spending money anyway, this Wang Yuan is in charge of Tuntian, and he can get some additional benefits.

Sending Wang Yuanzheng away, Liu Minyou complained to Chen Xin: "Spending silver is like flowing water, and more than 100 taels will be gone today." Chen Xin gave Liu Min a thousand taels of silver for civil affairs funds, and now Wang Daixi can also settle accounts and temporarily become a female account room.

"It's okay, have you asked about digging wells and repairing houses?"

"Wang Yuanzheng, who asked, he can help call someone to come, you can see water by digging a well here for two or three taels of silver, and it is not expensive to repair the brick and tile houses between the large passages, depending on how big your military camp is. If you only build the current 100 people, there are six barracks, one room for each family, plus some offices, about twenty or thirty rooms, one hundred and seventy or eighty taels of silver is enough. However, they said that in winter the ground was too hard, and it was more difficult to dig a trough, so they had to add some silver. ”

"Add his mother, sue him, it's one hundred and seventy taels, if you don't do it, I'll let the soldiers do it themselves." Chen Xin estimated that the general brick house is about five taels of silver a piece, and there are a few barracks that are larger, and the price is about the same, if it weren't for the fact that these soldiers have never repaired a brick house, he would not have asked someone to repair it.

Liu Min nodded and said: "I'll go to them tomorrow, let's plan a single room if we have a family, do you want to plan a single room for those singles?" It's all the same soldiers, some have, some don't, and the psychology will be unbalanced. ”

Chen Xin said: "This single room has to be rented. ”

"How much do you get in a month?" Liu Minyou frowned.

"One dollar a month, the cost of renting enough will belong to them, and it will be paid in installments."

Liu Minyou, who had had enough of the suffering of high housing prices, was relieved, and he thought that Chen Xin was going to take back his military salary from real estate.

"The people have, the grain we bought back is also treated in the same way, those women and children who can work will be paid, and if they can't work, we can't raise them in vain, you also build a small grain store here, except for the soldiers, everyone else will eat themselves in the future, and the grain will not earn their silver, and sell it to them at the original price." It's worthy of them. ”

"Okay, that's how it should be, by the way, they just said you had an election?"

"That's right."

"Well, I'll do it once in my logistics team."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as the day dawned, the five teams of soldiers came to the wasteland to line up, the firefighter Zhou Shao'er secretly glanced at the team at the end of the team is Wang Changfu, he has been in Weihaiwei for more than ten days, ten days ago when he was elected, he also voted for Wang Changfu, he felt that this person was very reliable, and he was willing to rush to the front for anything, and later announced the voting results, Wang Changfu really became the team leader, Huang Yuan and Zheng Sanhu were the captains, Zhou Shao'er, the firefighter returned to the team and led the team, and the other soldiers had no right to command him.

Zhou Shao'er touched the iron-tipped flat pole in his hand, this is his main weapon, more precisely, a tool, used to carry the burden, and when it is critical, he can poke people with that iron tip, and there is also a short detoxification knife inserted into his waist. He has always had no self-confidence, it would be good to be able to enter the combat team, there are one or two or five dollars of silver per month, two taels of the captain, three taels of the team, no money for food and clothing, but the Lord of Qianhu has said, if you can't meet the requirements after three months of training, you have to retire to the logistics team, and replace it with a logistics person, the logistics team only has one or two silver a month, and every day is doing miscellaneous things, these days have been helping to repair the house, it is not easier than training, listening to Huang Yuan said, these people are very envious of the soldiers who have a head, and the monthly salary is also high. He saw that there were several people in the logistics team who were much stronger than him, so he had a sense of crisis, and he worked very hard every time he trained, hoping to pass the assessment in more than two months.

"All stand upright!"

Zhou Shao'er was excited, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Chuanzong, the deputy squadron leader of the first, second and second squads, striding over with a stick, and quickly stood upright, each squad stood in two rows, the captain was on the left, and the two soldiers in the middle, the captain and the knife player, stood on the left side of each team, and Zhou Shao'er, the fireman, was on the far right.

"Start weighting!" Lu Donkey shouted loudly.

Zhou Shao'er complained bitterly, but he didn't dare to show it at all, and he didn't dare to delay at all to tie the iron bars he was carrying on his calves and arms, and then put a ten-pound bag of sandbags on his back, which was also Qi Jiguang's training method. Chen Qianhu seems to attach great importance to running and formation, running and exercising every morning, practicing physical fitness and queue in the morning, practicing personal skills in the afternoon, and training in the queue again before dinner.

"The goal is far away, running and traveling. Wang Changfu shouted the command and set off. ”

Wang Changfu shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to the order and run." ”

After the team slowly ran up, there was a neat footstep, Zhou Shao'er can now distinguish the left and right, but there are still a few teammates who can't tell the difference, such as Zhong Laosi, a long knife hand in front of him, who came out of his right foot first as soon as he took a step, and now he can't change it, Zhou Shao'er secretly screamed that it was bad.

Sure enough, the sea dog patrolling next to him immediately noticed this maverick soldier, and ran over excitedly with a stick and started beating Zhong Laosi on the back. This Zhong Laosi has been beaten a lot recently, and he has also gained some experience, so he doesn't scream, because he will be beaten even more when he screams.

Zhong Laosi was beaten, his heart was anxious, his steps were even more chaotic, the sea dog was beaten with a few sticks, he was beaten by Chen Xin a lot, at this time there was a bit of revenge against the society, Zhong Laosi was sweating profusely, and the short training uniform he was wearing played a role in resisting, but the stick was still very painful.

"Okay, brother, stop fighting, I'm on the right track." Zhong Laosi finally adjusted his steps and begged for mercy from the sea dogs.

"Speak again! Let you speak! Dare to call brothers! The fur dog struck him with two sticks again.

Zhong Laosi is also a fiery temper, although he is afraid of Chen Xin, Zhu Guobin and others, but he hasn't taken a fancy to this sea dog, and after blocking a stick, he said angrily: "Fight Lao Tzu again!" ”

The fur dog was stunned for a moment, and hit him with a round stick. At first, the beating was not heavy, Chen Xin's request was that he could only be hurt, not injured, and now Zhong Laosi returned the mouth, and the sea dog was gone, and Zhong Laosi grinned.

"Dog thing!" Zhong Laosi was furious, grabbed the stick, and scuffled with the sea dog, he has been a slender man for a long time, and his nutrition has been good recently, and his strength is much greater than that of the sea dog, and the sea dog was hit in the face one after another after a while, and he was at a disadvantage. As soon as the trained soldiers saw that the fight had started, they stopped one after another, some watching the excitement and some persuading, and for a time the ranks were in chaos.

"The conference, the second meeting will come over and help, oops, your mother." The sea dog shouted and was punched again, Lu Donkey, Zhang Dahui and others were on the other side, heard the movement and came to see, they dared to hit the instructor, without saying a word, rushed up and beat Zhong Laosi around, how could Zhong Laosi be able to stop it, he was beaten to the ground in a few strokes, and the sea dog suffered a loss, and he was furious in his heart, and kicked Zhong Laosi on the ground.

"Stop!" Liu Minyou and Chen Xin both rushed over, they did not participate in this kind of weight-bearing training, the team just set off and there was a mess, and the two hurriedly came after seeing it.

Liu Min pulled away the sea dogs who were still fighting vigorously, "Stop, how can there be such a beating." ”

The sea dog was puzzled: "He beat me." ”

Zhong Laosi was pulled up by Wang Changfu, and there were already a few bags on his forehead, and he listened to the defense: "He beat people hard, and I fought back when I was beaten in a hurry." ”

Chen Xin called Lu Donkey and Wang Changfu, and after asking about the situation, he asked Zhu Guobin: "What is the punishment for beating the instructor." ”

Zhu Guobin thought about it and replied: "Not yet." ”

Chen Xin groaned for a while, and said to Zhong Laosi: "Zhong Caisheng beat the instructor, left the queue without permission, deducted one or two monthly salaries, added 300 push-ups after completing today's training, and fined 50 military sticks, and poured the toilet for five teams of soldiers for a month." ”

Zhong Laosi hurriedly said: "My lord, he was the one who beat ...... first."

"Four hundred push-ups, sixty batons."

Zhong Laosi's mouth was open, and he didn't dare to say any more.

Chen Xin looked at the soldiers around him and said coldly: "On the training ground, the instructor is the greatest authority, no soldier is allowed to offend the instructor, if you think the instructor is inappropriate, you can go directly to me and say, but violent confrontation is never allowed." The people around were swept by Chen Xin's fierce eyes, and they were all shocked.

Chen Xinkan suppressed them, turned his head to Wang Changfu and said: "Squad leader Wang Changfu is not strict in managing the team, deducting five yuan per month, four hundred push-ups, and is responsible for training Zhong Caisheng alone after the end of daily training until he meets the requirements." Wu Chang Huang Yuan was also punished. ”

Wang Changfu simply responded, Chen Xin nodded, he was a responsible person.

The sea dog was happy when he heard this, grinning, Chen Xin slowly turned around, and the sea dog still looked at Chen Xin with a smirk.

"Instructor Hai violated the order, used military sticks more than the requirements of the discipline, and deducted five yuan from his monthly salary."

"Ahh The fur dog's mouth was open, stupid on the spot.

Zhong Laosi grinned, although he was punished much more severely, but the sea dog didn't run away in the end.

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he said loudly to the surrounding battle teams: "If you leave the team during the brawl, regardless of the reason, you will be deducted one penny of monthly salary, and immediately fined ten sticks and one hundred push-ups, and the captain of the subordinate team will deduct two yuan of monthly salary, plus two hundred." If the whole army has not left the team, add a scoop of meat to dinner. ”

When there was a fight, a total of more than ten people left the team, and they all saw the excitement, and they all drooped their heads now, not to mention Captain Wu, almost everyone was punished, Zhou Shifa and others immediately came over and ordered them to climb down, picked up the military stick and began to execute, listening to the sound of the stick snapping, Zhou Shao'er was secretly glad that he did not leave the team.

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he said to Zhu Guobin and the three commanders of the troops: "Do you three have any opinions?" ”

Dai Zhenggang said: "The subordinate officials are not strict in managing the team, please punish them together." ”

Chen Xin shook his head, according to this calculation, he should also be punished together, Chen Xin's military discipline has not been written, and now he is relying on his position to suppress these people, it seems that the military discipline should be accelerated.

"No need, the soldier has his own squad leader in charge, Guobin, the matter of military discipline should be accelerated, and the four of us will improve it together in the evening, and the beating of the officer will also be added, and it will be dealt with as it is today." Now continue to train, fight or fight, don't worry about this matter. ”

"Yes, sir." After the three chief officials saluted, they led the team to set off again, and the slogan that shook the sky sounded again.

Liu Minyou praised Chen Xin: "Sure enough, it is the leader, this matter is handled well, and everyone is convinced." It's just that the punishment of Zhong Caisheng is much heavier than that of the sea dog, so there is very little restraint on the officer. ”

Chen Xin pouted, "This is still heavy, if you meet Qi Shaobao, this Zhong Laosi's head is gone today, you look at the military law in Ji Xiaoxin's book, it is much heavier than me, and even talking about homesickness may kill your head." I don't dare to copy it, otherwise how could the military discipline have not been decided for so long. ”

Liu Minyou sighed: "The army is the most unreasonable place, and the friendship of your soldier is probably difficult to advance." ”

"The military discipline I have set has minimized the means of harm and humiliation, most of the punishments are beatings, corporal punishment and labor, and the preaching of fraternity only eases the antagonism between officers and soldiers, and I arranged for Wang Changfu to accompany him in additional training. However, on the training ground and on the battlefield, it is necessary to maintain the authority of the officers, and it is impossible for the army not to beat and scold, and there will be more beatings and scolding in the future, not only the instructors, but also the captains after completing the basic training, otherwise how can the training effect be achieved. ”

"What effect are you trying to achieve?"

Chen Xin looked at the team with his back hand, and said calmly: "Let the soldiers be more afraid of the officer's stick than the enemy's bullet." ”
