Chapter 727: Hedong Army [II]
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Compared with steamed buns, steamed buns have meat and are fragrant; The oil cake has oil and is fragrant. So in the case that the buns are limited and the oil cakes are not snatched up, this steamed bun only has cups.
Rice porridge is not rare, and hot and sour soup has unsurprisingly become everyone's first choice. In a small room behind the fence, Zhu Biao was also eating hot and sour soup while nibbling on steamed buns, and then listening to the shouts of "hot and sour soup, hot and sour soup" outside, he suddenly felt like he had returned to his previous life. At that time, every early morning, in front of the breakfast spots all over the city, weren't they all like this?
In order to maintain the people's strength and productivity of the counties in Hedong as much as possible, Zhu Biao made a rule on the first day he entered Hedong: the new army will be recruited from the displaced people and refugees! At the same time, this can also better cover the strength of the Hedong Army. It's just that from the original 26,700 troops to the current 50,000 troops, the military strength has increased by nearly double, not to mention, the headache is to 'add oil' to join the new soldiers, a large part of the training process of the Hedong Army as a whole. Now the system bar shows that Zhu Biao can clearly see: training 80, run-in 71. Compared to the beginning, it is not the same.
Leaving the training ground, Zhu Biao went to the recruit camp accompanied by Li Panlong and Hu Yanqing.
Zheng Taoping, who is under Zhu Zhong, is currently a captain in the new barracks. At this time, he was standing in front of the parade platform like an iron tower, looking at the three thousand recruits under the stage, and shouted: "I heard it clearly, from today onwards, you will be the official Hedong Army." Seventeen laws and fifty-four slashes, military regulations and military laws must be firmly remembered, otherwise you will lose your head and blame others. Because he knew that Zhu Biao was watching outside, Zheng Taoping's spirit was particularly invigorated a little today, and he spread out the military discipline book in his hand, and read it in less than a quarter of an hour. Then he pointed to the west wall of the camp and told the recruits under the stage: "Military regulations and military discipline are posted there, you can go and take a look after you." It doesn't matter if you can't read. The brothers next to you will read it to you. Tonight, each person will also give you a copy, and every day from the time of the day to the end of the day is the time for you to have a cultural class. Waving his hand, Zheng Taoping didn't want to say more about this, in his opinion, it was a waste of time to hand over the soldiers to read and write, "Let's tell you about the treatment of our Hedong Army, that is, salary, silver, grain, and straw." β
"According to the previous order, all the soldiers of our Hedong Army are divided into five classes." Zheng Taoping remembered his surprise when he first heard this. The division of ordinary soldiers was so finely that it simply broke the key that had been formed in their minds. You must know that although the entire Northern Han Army has many strata such as county soldiers, border armies, and forbidden armies, they are within each stratum. The division of soldiers is only according to the type of troops, cavalry, infantry, archers, equipment soldiers, baggage soldiers, etc., and the soldiers of each branch of the army take the same amount of silver.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the recruits below immediately started to talk about it, and they had no concept at all in their minds, just like Zheng Taoping at the beginning.
"Shut up, shut up Lao Tzu. Military regulations and military discipline are all read to you in vain? I didn't hear that! And then there are those who speak without permission. According to military discipline, ten sticks, ten laps around the playground. β
The training venue is not small, and I am afraid that there will be a mile or two of land in a circle! Ten laps. It's just a joke! The cacophony of indignation suddenly fell silent.
"What the hell is the fifth? You've heard me clearly. The lowest fifth class is the new recruit, the fourth class is the fourth class that comes out of the boot camp, and the veteran who has experienced one fight is the third class, and he will not die in three battles. Or the decapitation of the first level is the second class, and the real elite is the first class. To behead the third level. Zheng Tao paused, looking at the three thousand pairs of eye-catching eyes in the audience, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he knew that this 'fifth-class division of soldiers' had touched everyone's hearts.
"Recruit training is only three months, and this level does not exist in combat units. Therefore, no matter how heavy the foot riding is, two taels of silver per person per month and two buckets of rice noodles.
The infantry army, who came out of the recruit barracks, was a fourth-class soldier, with two taels of silver and five buckets of rice and noodles per person per month; When it comes to third-class soldiers, each person will be charged three taels of silver and eight buckets of rice noodles per month; privates, three taels and five cents per person per month, one stone of rice and flour; As for the first class, each person was given four taels of silver per month, and one stone of rice. If you don't want rice, you can also exchange it for huΓ n silver taels at the market price. β
"The cavalry will increase by half according to the infantry army, and the baggage soldiers will be reduced by three layers according to the infantry army."
In the current Hedong Army, nine out of ten of the more than 20,000 recruits are only fourth-class soldiers, but among the 26,700 veterans, the worst is also a second-class soldier, and the number is less than two percent of the total, and the rest of the army is the elite of the first class.
Ma Bujun's monthly money, although it can't be compared with the forbidden army in peacetime, but it also exceeds the border army, and the salary is absolutely high. The most rare thing is that the Hedong Army has never been empty, and the war dead and disabled have always had bereavement benefits, which is really not done by the forbidden army.
The imperial court has no money, and the forbidden army also drags the salary, not to mention the honor of the army, but in terms of benefits, the current Hedong Army is also the first in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Moreover, they are in the Hedong Army, and they are also rewarded every New Year's holiday, which is much more humane than other troops. As long as you can control yourself, and don't spend too much, it's not a big problem to send home thirty or forty taels a year!
To appease the excitement of the recruits, Zheng Taoping said: "You are all brave warriors recruited by the Hedong Army. The Hedong Army went south from Zhu Shuai to the Central Plains, and it didn't move much for a whole year, but now Zhu Shuai is back. Whether or not you can save your life on the battlefield, whether you can be promoted to a second-class soldier, a first-class soldier, or even a soldier who is promoted to become an officer will all be trained in the new barracks for three months. It's a tiger or a cat, just these three months. β
"Therefore, the captain of this school will train you in a different way. And you, you must remember clearly that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. In the next three months, you must obey Lao Tzu's orders unconditionally, and obey them unconditionally, have you understood them? β
"Understood." The voices were not very neat, and Zheng Taoping could hear a trace of their expectations and greater apprehension from them. Naturally, it is even less grandiose.
"Do you understand?"
"Understood."
This time the voice was a little louder, but Zheng Taoping, who had a gloomy face, was still not satisfied.
"Do you understand?" Asked louder.
"Understood." The recruits already knew why the captain was asking questions again and again, and shouted with all their might. Drinking and asking again and again, the recruits turned white for a while, and they only thought about how to answer. And the treatment of first-class soldiers, for the recruits who are displaced and refugees. It was an irresistible temptation. With such a salary, not only do they have no worries about eating and drinking, but even their families may have hope of rebuilding.
In the current society, thirty taels of silver is enough for a family of five to restart their own family life.
Continuing to gloomy his face, Zheng Tao's wolf-like eyes swept over the faces of the recruits in the audience, and he said sharply, "Listen to the orders of the captain of this school, and run to the hill in front of you within a stick of incense to gather." Those who fail to meet the deadline will be punished with five strokes and punished with five laps of the playground. β
After the words fell, a personal soldier behind Zheng Taoping lit an incense stick, and he stepped down and turned over the war horse next to him. He was the commander-in-chief of the boot battalion. The identities are different, even if they are at ease, it is impossible for them to follow the No. 11 bus.
It was the instructor of the battalion who ran towards the hill with those recruits!
The recruits in the audience hurriedly ran to keep up, and lined up fairly neatly under the leadership of officers at all levels, and the month of the training ground was not in vain.
It's really a coincidence that Zhu Biao came back. The latest batch of soldiers from the training ground of the Hedong Army happened to be packed and sent to the new barracks, and Zhu Biao had the opportunity to watch a play like this. Standing on a hill six or seven miles away from the playground with a cold face, the incense in his hand had burned out, but only eighty percent of the recruits could arrive on time. In other words, 600 people failed this small test alone. Looking at the panting soldiers in front of him, Zhu Biao shook his head helplessly. I'm going to keep training!
Stamina, stamina! The army must not only have combat power and speed, but also endurance.
Zhou Yunfei casually threw away the letter incense. Zheng Taoping over there was already shouting loudly: "The hour has passed, and those who fail to reach the deadline will be punished consciously!" The rest continued to train. Do you see the hill ahead? β
The recruits were panting and sweating in the winter, while looking in the direction of Zheng Taoping's fingers. There was a mountain faintly shining in the thin morning mist. It is estimated that the distance is quite far.
"This time, the captain of the school will give you time to run from here to that mountain. Soft eggs that don't arrive on time are also punished, and the penalty will be doubled!
Rest for a quarter of an hour, then appear, and now begins. β
More than 2,000 people sat on the ground one by one, and the cold ground could not stop the softness of their legs and wrists. A quarter of an hour later, amid the loud shouts and urging of the instructors of the various departments, he set off again and began to run towards his goal.
The figures of the instructors are interspersed with front and back, constantly yelling and cheering. For them who have experienced a lot of battles, this kind of cross-country running is a piece of cake, and the sturdy figures soon appear blurred in the thin morning mist.
After another long-distance cross-country test, more than 400 people failed to arrive on time.
Spread his legs, Zheng Taoping stood on the only path in the mountain bag like a door god, and looked coldly at the recruits in front of him, they were obviously exhausted, panting like cows, and many of them fell on the cold ground in a bad way, unable to pounce.
Anyway, they were lying all over the place, sweating profusely and pulling open their collars to dissipate heat in the wind.
"Get up for Lao Tzu, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be a bear like a girl." It was freezing on this day that they could get so hot that Cheng DΓΉ naturally made a big effort, but soldiers should look like soldiers.
Less than two thousand recruits rose to their feet and formed a neat formation again under the spur of sixty instructors. Zheng Taoping was quite satisfied with them, although the discipline was a little lax, but all he had to manage now was the physical fitness of these soldiers. However, his face was still silent, and his tone was still full of sternness, and he said: "Those who opened their collars just now are all for Lao Tzu to get out." β
In the middle of the day, forty or fifty soldiers stood up in front of the array, all with a little panic on their faces.
"It's a good time, Lao Tzu read the military rules and discipline early in the morning, did you listen to it?" Zheng Tao looked at this group of people expressionlessly, and his tone was very calm.
The panic on the faces of this group of soldiers was even more obvious, I don't know what Zheng Taoping is going to do with them? On the playground just now, Zheng Taoping said that he wanted to change the law to train them. With his severity just now, I'm afraid that this group of people will not have any good fruit to eat. Then they shrugged their heads one by one and bowed their heads silently.
"After dinner, each person will be punished to stand in a military posture for half an hour."
"Everyone began to return to the camp after a quarter of an hour's rest, and you all know how long it will be until noon. There is a rule in the camp that meals should not exceed a quarter of an hour, that is. If you can't return to the camp within a quarter of an hour after the meal begins, then by the afternoon you'll have to train on your empty belly. Disband! β
Zheng Taoping's voice fell, but the exhausted recruits, who were already tired, were in high spirits, and rushed out like eagles scattered out, rushing down the mountain in a chaotic manner, lest they fall behind others. Compared with exhaustion, the taste of hunger with your heart on your back is more terrifying. If it's past the meal time when you arrive at the camp, it's not a joke to train hungry that afternoon. They don't want to do that. And a bad day.
Zhu Biao shook his head, these guys still owe fuck. I don't understand the truth of sharpening the knife and cutting wood. This table is on the battlefield, that is, stunned, swarmed at the level of bees.
But there's still the expectation that someone in the boot camp will teach them to be smarter. Isn't there still three months left?
The soldiers of today are coarse people who cannot read big characters. You can't just reason with them, you can only communicate with them in some straightforward ways, so that they know what is okay and what must not be casual. It's like military rules and military rules, if you talk to them a hundred times, it's useless, only by killing a few chickens and being ruthless and spicy, they will remember more than anything else.
Zhu Biao believes that after three months. At present, this group of recruits who have trained and run in less than 50 will become qualified soldiers.
Different from the general army, Zhu Biao here has fundamental requirements for training and running-in. The military formation of the system amplification is inseparable from the improvement of these two attributes.
At noon, Zhu Biao had a meal at the new barracks. He went down to Jingwutang, which was located in a small town outside the county town.
Different from Tang Wang's lecture martial arts hall, and different from the martial arts hall, Zhu Biao did not go to the Central Plains before the transfer of officers to organize the Jingwu Hall, which is a very pure officer training school.
Just when a new batch of recruits was ushered in on the boot camp training ground. Jingwutang, which was not far from them, also ushered in its fourth batch of students. Although it is always in the initial stage, it is a three-month batch of tutorials. From the high class of the captain level, down to the low class of the Duber and the team rate, it is all available.
Zhu Biao knows very well that when he leads a small number of troops and horses, he can command everything, but when he is on one side and is destined to lead a large number of troops, he can't rely on himself alone. Xiang Yu also has Long Ji and Zhong Liwei, and Lu Bu also has Zhang Liao and Eight Jian Generals, and a single pole can't be famous, and he can't pull out a real elite soldier.
So long before that, he kept urging Zhu Zhong and Zhu Tong to study the military books. Now, it's time for him to hold the officers of the whole army accountable.
The 'heirloom art of war' that was exchanged from Beiping City has become the best teaching material of Jingwutang. After Zhu Biao enlisted in the army, the experience of large and small battle formations can also be found here. This point is not only Zhu Biao alone, but the rest of the generals also have combat examples to supplement.
And interpreting the battle examples, deducing the sand table, and linking theory with practice for the students of Jingwutang has always been the most important means of cultivation in Jingwutang.
There are 30 students in the middle class of this period, 17 military marquis, and 13 military horses, which are divided into six groups according to the establishment, and then two groups are divided into one small team and divided into three teams. The leading instructor's surname is Wang, Wang Guang, who was originally Sima of Zhu Biao's personal barracks, and Zhu Biao was seriously injured in the battle against the Hu people when he first arrived in Hedong. Later, the bloody wound was healed, but the body had collapsed, and he could no longer fight on the battlefield.
It's just that Wang Guang stood there, and his straight body still naturally showed a solemn aura, and his bright eyes swept over the faces of the thirty students like knives. Even though it has been half a month since the start of the class, few students still dare to look at him for a moment, and they have avoided their gaze.
"As of today, you have been enrolled in school for half a month, and all the subjects of the Art of War and Foot Drill have been covered. However, it's not enough for soldiers to just talk about not practicing, we have to do a drill! Wang Guang said slowly, his tone was easy-going, but suddenly his tone changed sharply, which also made the thirty students lift their hearts.
Wang Guang said coldly, "As the instructor of the middle class, I have the obligation to remind you that although you have passed the entrance selection and entered the Jingwu Hall, the real test will only begin today!" β
"In the future, every day's rehearsal will be recorded, and according to each person's table in the drill, this kind of repercussion will be common for more than two months in the future, until you graduate. Only those with a score of sixty or more can be considered a real graduation and become a qualified mid-level officer.
For less than 60 points, Zhu Shuai also has regulations that all will be demoted. β
All the students looked solemn, but none of them showed fear, which they had heard for a long time. The people who can pass the selection and assessment and enter the Jingwutang, each of them is the top in the camp where they are located. Everyone is also very confident, and they don't believe that they won't get that 60 points in three months.
The queue of cadets was silent. A sneer appeared on the corner of Wang Guang's mouth, and he gestured to the two teachers standing behind him, and then said, "All of them, turn backwards!" β
The cadets were unprepared, but they had been in the army for many years, and the basic passwords in these military ranks had been engraved in their minds. (To be continued)
