Chapter Eighty-Six: Camping

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

After tossing for a long time, the time was almost noon, but since the troops had been dispatched, they could not stay in Beijing, otherwise there might be many people who would not be able to eat and sleep soundly! Zhao Ta led the troops out of the West Gate, joined the baggage team, all the way west, the soldiers traveled thirty miles to Xiangfu County, at this time it was Shen Shi, now the days are short and the nights are long, the sky will be dark soon, we must camp as soon as possible, otherwise we can only do it in the dark.

It is not a simple matter for the army to go down to the village, the army marches and fights to pay attention to the line is the array, and the stop is the battalion, Fayun: the formation is in the array, it is said that the team is arranged, and there is a wide and narrow system. If you want it to turn around and clutch, it is incomparable. There is a camp in the camp, which is called part of the order, and there is a method of sparseness. I want them to rescue left and right, and not to mess with each other. There are foreign invaders, all of them are well-equipped, and they have to move.

First of all, the place where the camp was encamped must not be near the fields and the city, but must be ten miles away from the city, so as not to disturb the people; The second is the division of regions, these things have their own officials to worry about, but Zhao Ta is the first time to see how the ancients did it. First, the supervisor selects the location according to the number of people, distinguishes the direction, and then sets up the five exhibition flags, with the Vermilion Bird Standing on the Noon Land, the White Tiger Standing on the Youdi, the Xuanwu Standing on the Zi Land, the Green Dragon Standing on the Mao Land, and the Swaggering Standing in the Center. Then the battalions were ordered to send elite soldiers to guard the perimeter, and divide their respective areas into camps, and no one was allowed to cross the cordon at this time.

After the establishment of Zhao Ta's pro-army, camping training was also carried out, but it was the first time that so many people were involved, and it was inevitably a little chaotic, but after all, they were well-trained, and there were a group of veterans with military experience such as Wang Jin and Shen Songyue to command and dispatch, and they were soon busy in an orderly manner. After the camp is completed, people are arranged to go out of the camp to herd horses, draw water, and chop wood, and if they want to enter the city to buy things, they must also send people to the camp judge with the consent of the camp judge, and individuals are not allowed to enter the city without authorization.

After an hour of busyness, the battalions have been properly arranged, the entire camp covers an area of more than 200 acres, during which hundreds of cowhide tents of various sizes have been erected, bonfires have been raised in the open space, and the fire troops assigned to the battalions have been busy and have begun to bury pots and make rice.

Although it is in a peaceful area, there are no enemies around, and no robbers dare to attack the army camp, but Zhao Ta still requires the whole army to do according to the requirements of wartime, open and dark sentry, there are many lurking posts, and the patrol posts are scattered a mile away, each battalion has to maintain a single strength without unloading the saddle, people do not disarm, and are in a state of combat readiness, and the law enforcement team is divided into several squads to patrol back and forth in the battalion, supervise the implementation of each battalion, and correct violations of discipline!

Taking advantage of a little free time before dinner, Zhao Ren held a small meeting in the Chinese military tent and invited the prince to attend. Zhao Ren inquired about the situation of the battalions, the situation of the assigned recruits, and the mood of the soldiers, and then listened to their reports, laid out tomorrow's work and marching routes, the marching positions of each battalion, and the orders for that night, and told the battalions to use the time after dinner and before going to bed to strengthen the education of the recruits, preach military law again, and pay attention to the changes in the mood and thoughts of the recruits.

Seeing that the 'general' he trained single-handedly presided over the meeting and issued orders, who would have thought that he was just a vegetable grower and errand boy under the prince. Zhao Ta forgot what someone said about successful people and geniuses in his previous life, and he thought it was very reasonable:

He believes that geniuses and giants cannot be equated, just like comparing himself with his father's achievements in art, he can't be said to be a fool, but he can never surpass his father in art, because his father is an artistic genius, even like Cai Jing and Mitty. This is true in art, and the same is true in military affairs, a protracted war will definitely emerge a bunch of famous generals, just like buying a lottery ticket, some people will get rich overnight, and there are often some generals who become famous in the war.

In addition to the personal factors of the person who became famous, it often depends on many complex and unexpected accidental factors. This means that these fame people are not destined to be successful, they just happen to be in a position where they need to be successful. At this point, if it weren't for Zhang San, it would inevitably make Li Si famous. It depends on the right time, the right place, and the right place for the big prize.

This is the fate of most successful people, and it can also be said that it is the fate of ordinary people, but it is by no means the fate of geniuses. The fate of a genius is that no matter how far he seems to be from success, it does not prevent him from approaching it in an unusual way, in a way and at a speed that is beyond the ordinary, because the Creator has secretly put the key to success in his hands. …,

If Zhao Ren hadn't met Zhao Ta, he might have become a successful little guy, a self-sufficient tenant, a small trader who made a fortune... But by no means a mid-to-high-level general. His success was not accidental, and when they saw the new firearms invented by the prince at the same time, and adopted a training method that was different from others, he keenly felt something. When everyone was still dying and alive under the torture of harsh training, he relied on the instinct of a military genius to accurately foresee that the war would change, and incidentally, his own destiny. So he poured all his efforts and energy into assisting the prince to build this army, his efforts were not in vain, under the intentional cultivation of Zhao Ta, he has become a general who can take charge of himself, but what he lacks is still actual combat, a war that can go down in history!

Zhao Ren spoke and asked the prince to speak, but Zhao Ta only thanked everyone for their hard work in the past few days, and did not put forward a single comment on Zhao Ren's order and expressed any dissatisfaction. Because Zhao Ta knows that now that Zhao Renchu is in charge of the army, those veterans who were trained at the same time as him may not accept it and deliberately make trouble with him, and the new recruits do not know him and will follow the coaxing; The staff assigned to his account, seeing that he is young and of low origin, will also be elbowed. To resolve these contradictions, you can only do it by establishing Zhao Ren's prestige first, and what you have to do is not to express your opinions easily, give Zhao Ren room to play on his own, give him full support, let him do it boldly, instead of protecting him under his wings like an old hen!

．．．．．．

After the meeting, Zhao Ta left the military tent and did not go back to his tent, but walked around the camp. Each team is camped in a group, each group has a tent, the leader is the sergeant of the old battalion, they lead the soldiers in their group to organize and strengthen the tent, dig drainage ditches, dig soil to press the tent feet, busy but not chaotic, orderly, see Zhao Ta walking by, they will immediately put down the work in their hands, solemnly stand while raising their hands to salute, and most of the soldiers who stand at a loss are the forbidden soldiers who have just entered the camp, they do not understand the rules of the new army. Zhao Ta returned the favor every time he encountered it, and sometimes he would go into the tent to see if the items were neatly arranged, whether the tent feet were compacted with soil, and whether the rope was firm.

Eating and drinking has always been the focus of Zhao Ta's concern, he came to the house of the first battalion of dragoons, they have also achieved quasi-'modernization', each group of fire troops has three special carriages, one is used to load cooking things, and the other two are to pull a battalion's food and water for a day, the stoves are all made of iron, and you can immediately light a fire to cook when you move it down, and it is not a split wood that burns, but charcoal. With these, you don't have to dig the stove and chop firewood every time you cook, and you save a lot of time.

Now there is a five-eye stove set up in an open space in the camp, on which is a large pot of eighteen drinks, the fire is blazing, steaming, a group of people under the command of the gang leader to burn the fire, chop vegetables, wash rice, busy with the busy!

"Lao Liu, what to eat today!" The captain of this group of firefighters is a veteran of the old battalion baggage team, and now he is the captain of the group, and he is also in charge of more than ten people, Zhao Ta is very familiar with him, although he is called Lao Liu, in fact, he is only in his early twenties.

"Lord Wang!" Lao Liu rubbed his hand on his apron and saluted, "This morning's proofreading, everyone didn't eat well at lunch, the staple food of the dinner arrangement is white rice, the non-staple food is one dish and one soup, the pork stewed cabbage, and the soup is a big bone broth boiled from the bones!" ”

"Well, this soup is well-boiled, and it tastes a little!" Zhao Tan nodded, walked to the side of the pot, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup, and sniffed it.

"Lord Wang, of course, the second chef of the drunken Bailou used to be in charge, and the craftsmanship can't be wrong!" Lao Liu said proudly.

"You kid is fast enough, you grabbed a good helper!" Zhao Tan smiled and patted Lao Liu's shoulder and said, "But people have to have a salary of 20 yuan a month to be a second cook, and you recruit people to be soldiers, it's not authentic!" ”

"Lord Wang, this is not dug by me, it was his own volition, Song Qiang, did you tell the prince?" Lao Liu hurriedly said.

"Lord Wang, I did volunteer to be a soldier, although the restaurant gave me twenty wages, but I am willing to follow the prince, and the family is also happy, that time the chef in the capital was selected, and the boy of the three dogs took the lead, and the family complained for several days, this time I said that I would come!" Song Qiang said with a serious face. …,

"Hehe, it's not enough to be a soldier and be able to cook, you have to be able to ride horses and martial arts!" Zhao said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, don't look at me as a cook, but I'm also a member of the club, the first time the Hero Club recruited people, I was selected, riding horses and archery, marching arrays, I was the first to come out, last year's competition, I also got a silver bowl!" Song Qiang said.

"Okay, I'll eat here today, try your skills as a second chef and a fire army who can dance guns and sticks!" Zhao said.

"Lord, let's do it another day, I can't make this big pot of dishes, wait until I have time to show you a hand!" Song Qiang said with some embarrassment.

"Hey, you're wrong, this big pot dish shows your skills, don't believe it, how about I make it for you to taste it today!" Zhao Ta said and washed his hands in a basin of clean water, Lao Liu seemed to be accustomed to it, took an apron and put it around the prince, Song Qiang gave up his position and gave him a big start.

"Brother, is this person really a prince?" A soldier who was lighting a fire asked a soldier who was helping to cook next to him.

"That's wrong, those of us who recognize the wrong father and mother, we won't recognize the wrong prince!" The soldier said.

"No, when I was in the Fourth Army, it was difficult to see a commander, and the prince would come to our fire army to cook!" The recruit said.

"What's new here, the prince is in our place, just like ordinary people, I listened to our commander, the prince's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world, the emperor ate the dishes he made, and the imperial kitchen's meals are not fragrant, but when the prince has nothing to do, he often cooks for everyone to eat, and we have all eaten!" The veteran of the kitchen said in surprise.

"Oh, that's a world wonder!" The newcomer looked at the dancing shovel and said the prince.
