Chapter 54: The New Battalion
Tiangang slightly exposed the white of the fish belly, Yu Xiaotian got up, today he did not get up to practice martial arts according to his habit, but immediately freshened up, and then took the guards out of the city towards the new camp.
At this time, it was about six o'clock, and the people of this era had no entertainment at all, but the people in the city could rest at night, drink a little wine, or go to a prostitute or something, and vent their excess energy.
But for the recruits in the new battalion, they don't have this blessing, the recruits are trained very hard, and they are extremely strict, and the leaders here are like mad dogs, and they don't let the recruits have a little respite from opening their eyes.
In the morning, the morning dawned, began to blow the whistle to drive the recruits from the barracks to the school field, the first month of the new Ding did not need to go out of the camp every morning to run wildly, but the second month after the recruit was inevitably pulled out of the camp every morning to run around the new camp, running in the back of the people or teams will be punished not to eat breakfast.
The instructors carried a rattan stick in their hands, and kept barking at these newcomers on the school field, teaching them to practice various queue exercises.
This kind of drill is basically the same as the practice during the army boot camp in later generations, but it is more stringent, sticks are the most common thing, and if you make a mistake, you will be pulled out of the coffin, stripped of your pants in public, and spanked with a bamboo board.
It's not for the sake of making a sound, but for fear of breaking the recruits' pants, in which case they will have to give them new pants or have people sew them up for rotten pants, so they are all stripped of their pants and spanked buttocks.
Outside the new camp, a tall pole was erected, on which hung some dried or rotting corpses, mutilated by birds pecked at and smelling.
These hanged people were also new soldiers, and some of them were arrested and hanged outside the new camp because they couldn't stand the control here, and they used other new people to fight against the sect leader, or simply tried to riot.
There were also people who were not convinced by the instructor's beating, and started with the instructor and tried to kill the instructor, so they were also immediately hanged.
There were also deserters who raped women outside after escaping, or robbed and killed immigrants for food, and were caught and hanged outside the camp.
This is the usual method used by the new camp of the sea wolf, to deter those newcomers, so that they can honestly obey the order and practice well.
Yu Xiaotian always believed that the army must be organized and disciplined, and an army without organization and discipline could not have strong combat effectiveness at all, so he was a standard organizational discipline freak.
Rather than saying that the new battalion is about training recruits in various skills, it is better to say that the new battalion is a place to transform recruits, let them understand what it means to obey the command in all actions, and let them know what is called organizational discipline.
People in this era have no concept of organizational discipline at all, unlike people in later generations, when they were in school, they had to learn to line up and or something.
These fishermen or farmers, mountain people, or hunters, have never known what discipline is called since they were young, and they have become accustomed to it at will, and they don't know what the queue is at all, and everything has to be taught to them from the beginning.
A simple action such as turning left and right, sometimes it takes more than half a day to teach them, and the meal queue is to use a stick to teach them to obey the rules, so without using violence, it is impossible to dominate these casual habits.
But the effect of this is obvious, after the newcomers entered the camp, after a stick education, they all quickly knew what it means to obey orders, and Yu Xiaotian also introduced primary ideological education among his subordinates, the simplest and most effective way is to let his subordinates get together from time to time, and have a so-called bittersweet meeting.
Let them recall what kind of life they used to live, what they ate, what clothes they wore, and what house they lived in, and then let them think about their current food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also ask them to think about the exploitation of the government and the exploitation of the landlords and the oppression of the officials when they were in their family in the past, and tell them that now that they are soldiers with the sea wolf, no one dares to bully them anymore.
As long as they finish the training of the new soldiers, they will have the salary, and after they are transferred to the official sailors or soldiers, the salary is enough for them to support the family, although this method is simple, but it is very effective, and the recruits gradually feel at ease after several such bittersweet meetings.
In addition, the sailors and soldiers of the sea wolves are not idle and have nothing to do in their daily lives, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, even after being assigned, they have to go out every day for training, go to duty and sentry, clean the camps and ships, organize personal housekeeping, wipe and maintain weapons, and there is no idle time at all.
Therefore, the team formed by Yu Xiaotian is still a pirate in name, but in essence it is a standard modern army, and its combat effectiveness is quite strong.
Since Yu Xiaotian came to Tamsui, he must have to go to the new camp to have a look, and before he could bring people to the new camp, he heard a roar from the new camp in the distance, which contained the slogans of the recruits, the passwords of the leaders, and the rabid dog-like scolding of the leaders, which were intertwined and spread far away.
When Yu Xiaotian heard these familiar voices, he couldn't help but think of the days of military training in the month when he was in college, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Just as they were about to approach the new camp, they were stopped, and several soldiers stood on the road, shouting, "Who are they? Stop now! Why trespass on the barracks? Want to die? Password! ”
When the soldiers heard it, they immediately wanted to scold, but when they thought that Yu Xiaotian was there, this was the rule, which showed that the management here was very strict, so they all hurriedly held back and didn't dare to scold.
Fang An, who came over with Yu Xiaotian, immediately replied: "Gale! ”
"Heavy rain! It turned out to be my own person! The other party also reported the password, then put down the knife and gun in his hand, and greeted Fang An, and when he saw that it was Fang An, he quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "It turned out to be Commander Fang, the little ones are offended, and I hope Commander Fang will bear with me!" ”
"It's okay! What about you, Commander Meng? Not in the camp? Fang An didn't tell the people below, saying that Yu Xiaotian was here, and asked Meng Fei directly where he was.
"Commander Qiqifang, Commander Meng took people to the upstream logging area three days ago, and he was not in the camp these days, it was Deputy Commander Liu who presided over the camp!" The sentry said to Fang An.
Fang An nodded, Meng Fei began to like the trouble of taking people to find the natives after the first few batches of recruits completed training during this time, as long as he heard that there were natives attacking immigrants, he would happily take a group of soldiers to the forest in the name of attacking, and he did not show his head for several days, but the things in the new camp gradually let Liu Tong take over.
Not long ago, when the drudger camp was logging upstream, it was attacked by a tribe upstream, and several drudgers died, if it wasn't a big deal, it wasn't the sea wolf tribe that died, and the scale of the natives was not large, but as soon as this guy heard about it, he immediately took the soldiers up the river to find trouble with the natives.
So he waved his hand to let the sentinels retreat, turned around and said to Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian immediately laughed after hearing it, no wonder he arrived in Tamsui City yesterday, Meng Fei didn't show his head, it turned out that he did this.
Meng Fei after becoming famous in the first battle of Nanri Island last year, he was quite valued by Xiaotian, and was transferred here to be responsible for the training of recruits, when Yu Xiaotian came last year, he did a good job here, but this guy is not born to be a safe master, it is okay to train recruits here for a short time, and after a long time, this guy can't stand this boring life.
This guy is aggressive by nature, he always likes to find someone to practice, when he is an enemy of the government, this guy didn't stand up, he complained a little about this last year, and now he finally found an opponent, this guy will naturally not let go of the opportunity to do something with others, and it is normal to run to find trouble with those natives.
So he nodded his head and said it was okay, and went on to the camp to have a look.
Under the guidance of Fang An, the group entered the new camp, the new camp was really lively, groups of recruits on the road outside the camp were panting like cattle shouting trumpets, and they were running under the leadership of the instructor.
On the field of the battalion colonel are other recruits, who are training in groups in queues, coming and going is not lively, but among these newcomers, most of them have just started training, and this queue really looks too ugly.
Many instructors were in the school field, shouting hysteria, rattan sticks flying around, constantly whipping those newcomers who could not meet the requirements, far away at the edge of the school field, you can see a person wearing a soldier's standard officer uniform, with his hands behind his back, holding a rattan stick in his hand, staring at the training situation in the school field.
Yu Xiaotian recognized it at a glance that it was Liu Tong, and now Liu Tong has also developed the temperament of a soldier, with a straight waist, sharp eyes, and looks very majestic.
It wasn't until this time that someone ran over and told Liu Tong that Yu Xiaotian was here.
Liu Tong greeted him in three steps and two steps, and when he saw Yu Xiaotian, he immediately gave Yu Xiaotian a military salute, and Yu Xiaotian also returned him a military salute, he still likes the leaders of his subordinates, and when he sees him, it is more comfortable to salute him, so the leaders in the Seawolf armed system are now gradually accustomed to seeing him salute, rather than kneeling or hugging fists like before.
"How's it going? Liu Tong, the situation here is okay! Yu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense, and asked Liu Tong directly.
