Chapter 222: Wanmin Road (Guaranteed Subscription 1)
The progress of military training is very fast, to be precise, it is in Huben and Bai Mayi are popularized very quickly among these elite armies!
In order to carry out these queue training and so on as a tradition of the army, Huo Gang even popularized the military salute, Huo Gang did not change, and the military salute of later generations and the queue training of later generations have formed a complete set of etiquette that is very in line with the masculine atmosphere of the army.
Well, he didn't want to make it up, in fact, Huo Gang couldn't think of a better military salute.
In this era, there is no accurate definition of military salute, most of the army is to perform the fist salute, and the subordinates just bend over when they report. Under special circumstances, you need to kneel on one knee, but Huo Gang has basically changed the kneeling thing, so it is nothing to change the military salute.
Standing upright, raising your head and bowing with your chest up, this feeling is a different concept from bowing your head and clasping your fists, and the former will make the atmosphere more solemn and solemn.
Although it felt weird at first, I got used to it after watching too much, to be precise, most of the time Huo Zheng couldn't perform such a military salute.
Because in the state of soldiers with armor and weapons, Huo Gang and Huo Zheng also discussed, in the state of armor and weapons, it is a bit similar to the etiquette of splitting spears in later generations, the only difference is that they hold spears in their hands, as well as long knives, shields and other different weapons.
However, in the case of not carrying weapons, or in the state of reporting the situation, the normal military salute of later generations can be executed, and there was no similar military salute in the past, and the military salute of the small soldier to the general, as well as the military salute between the same ranks are different.
Now all of them have been forcibly unified by Huo Gang, including when the subordinates salute their superiors, the superiors also have to return the salute.
What is the use of this thing, Huo Gang doesn't want to discuss, anyway, now this is his own country, and he can play as much as he wants.
At first, these soldiers were not adaptable, but this thing was punished after making a mistake, and soon all the soldiers slowly got used to it, the army is a huge melting pot, as long as a rule is established here, not only that, if you want to copy the whole set, Huo Gang even copied the level of the army directly.
With 10 people as a class, the decimal system is adopted, and from bottom to top there are five levels: squad, battalion, regiment, division, and army. The number of people is 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000.
Because cold weapon warfare is different from modern warfare, and modern warfare is mostly a three-three system because of different methods such as operating weapons, but in ancient cold weapon warfare, almost all of them were superior in numbers.
So there is no need to divide so many levels, the decimal system will do.
It just so happened that Huo Gang didn't even need a name, the squad was the squad leader, the battalion was the battalion commander, and the regiment commander level could be called a general. However, generals also have different ranks, and when it comes to the level of generals, Huo Gang doesn't care, just give these generals a name.
Just like a hussar general, hussar is not a title given to a person alone, just like a major general, lieutenant general in later generations, hussar is a rank.
The restructuring of the armed forces is necessary, and if we do not change it now, it will be too troublesome to change it when there are more people in the future.
And Huo Gang is not ready to adopt the government military system like the Tang Dynasty, but is ready to adopt the system of conscription + national military service, which is similar to that of later generations. The disadvantage of adopting the conscription system is that the pressure of the state is relatively high, but if Huo Gang can't even pay the salary of this soldier, it will be too embarrassing.
Of course, after the population increases, Huo Gang can adopt the compulsory military system like later generations.
And the system of universal military service is a bit like the system of the later stick country, to put it bluntly, in this era, if you can feed everyone, there is an advantage of universal military service, that is, if the situation is urgent, you can pull out enough soldiers.
However, this national military service is definitely different from that of the stick country in later generations, Huo Gang is going to carry out the national military service, which will be divided according to each township, that is to say, their military service is also carried out in their respective townships.
In this way, production can not be delayed, and Huo Gang is ready to adjust the age of military service for men to 16 years old, that is, when they reach the age of 16, they must serve, except for some special reasons.
Military service is tentatively set at one year, but this year, in the summer, because they serve in their respective townships, then they can go home to work during some busy agricultural seasons.
All in all, keep everyone busy, you can't let them be idle. Anyway, in this era, almost most of the time was planted with grain, and there were relatively few cash crops, and the busy agricultural season was fixed.
In addition, it is much more convenient for hired workers such as factories and mines to manage them after they have served in the service.
However, there is a premise for all of this, that is, after Huo Gang has been retaining potatoes for at least two years, he will wait for the potato yield to completely explode, because once implemented, it means that Huo Gang will have to feed a group of people for training in vain every year.
And it is necessary to supplement enough nutrition for this group of people, etc., now his total population is only 200,000, in fact, there are not many people who reach the age of 16 every year, but what about the population in the future? At least until the population reaches a certain level, this policy will continue to be implemented.
The three days passed quickly, and Li Yi, who was in Dunhuang, also received an invitation from Huo Gang, inviting him to attend the ceremony of the completion and opening of the first official road in the Han Dynasty.
Li Yi naturally participated, and not only Li Yi participated, he also brought a lot of gifts, these gifts are not too valuable, mainly some relatively rare, all kinds of dyed silk, finely processed cotton and linen, and some porcelain, mainly for Huo Gang.
Li Yi knows about road construction, he has seen the road between Yumen Pass and Dunhuang, these are said to be made of slag and some special materials to tamp the road surface is very strong, not to mention, and there will be no mud in rainy days and other times, it is a very good road.
Huo Gang won't do all the slag he bought with them before, right? But what interested Li Yi was the blue-gray road, which was from Yumen Pass to Yangguan, and their industrial city.
Li Yi and their caravan had been transporting supplies in the direction of Yangguan before, and they had naturally seen this road, but that road had been being built all along, and they were walking on the side, although they could see that it was very regular, but what the specific state was Li Yi did not know.
This time, this mysterious road is finally about to reveal its true face, and the whole road has taken more than two months to build, which is extremely fast. To be honest, Li Yi is a little amazed now, thinking that this efficiency is too high, and the population under Huo Gang's command is only 200,000, and he doesn't know how Huo Gang did it.
The point is, where did he get so much money?
Li Yi couldn't figure this out.
"Brother Li, please." Retracting his thoughts, Huo Gang, who was next to him, had already made a gesture of please.
"Please." Li Yi also hurriedly made a gesture of please, and then the two of them took a step forward, Huo Gang had recently appeared outside the south gate of Yumen Pass, a platform had been set up here, and thousands of people had gathered densely under the platform, and these people were not close to the platform.
It is far away that I can't even hear what Huo Gang said, but even so, everyone who can come has come.
When Huo Gang, Li Yi and the other city lords stood on this, Huo Zheng next to him directly shouted loudly: "Opening ceremony!" Begin! ”
With Huo Gang's voice, a soldier next to him instantly beat the big drum next to him.
The dull drum beat of "bang" and "bang" sounded, and the originally noisy scene instantly became quiet.
When the drumming ended, inside the city gate behind them, a loud voice instantly remembered: "Start...... Walk! ”
When this voice sounded, a dull sound of "bang" seemed to make the whole ground tremble in an instant.
Li Yi's whole person was taken aback, but inside the only intact city gate, the dull footsteps of "bang" and "bang" and the friction of armor came neatly.
This neat voice Li Yi immediately reacted, this should be the Han army, and he has naturally seen it after coming here.
But Li Yi has really never seen such a scene.
"Pap" "Pap" With the sound of uniform footsteps, when the soldiers in the doorway finally appeared, although Li Yi was prepared, he couldn't help but gasp.
The eight soldiers at the front carried a huge plaque covered in red silk, while behind them were five neat rows of soldiers. All black bright light armor, all black shields, and black spears.
The round shield was carried behind him, and the spear was held in both hands, and the long knife at his waist was fixed to one side.
Everyone's footsteps were in a neat step, no one spoke, only the dull "pop" and "pop" footsteps on the masonry came continuously and neatly.
The movements of these soldiers were as if they were a person, and even Li Yi, who was standing on the high platform that had been built, found that the height of the spears held by these soldiers in their hands was exactly the same!
When they finally walked in front of Huo Gang, one of the soldiers at the front shouted loudly, "Salute! ”
Two crisp sounds sounded, "click" and "click", and the spears in the hands of these soldiers instantly changed from being held vertically to an oblique angle of 45 degrees forward.
The sharp spear shimmered in the sunlight, making people feel extremely dazzling, and the atmosphere of the entire air instantly became extremely solemn and solemn.
When these soldiers carrying the plaques walked to the place where the plaques had been prepared in advance.
"Stand!" With a loud command, a "click", all the soldiers stopped almost at the same time.
The whole venue instantly became extremely quiet.
