Chapter 5 The Beginning of Military Training
That night, after the men from Lidu came out of the mine, they began their first military training. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it is not a large part of the capital, it has a large number of people, and out of a population of 200,000, almost 180,000 are men. The reason why there are so many men is naturally because all the girls have been dragged to the imperial capital, secondly, because the number of female prisoners is already small, and finally because the Yi women brought in from afar are not accustomed to the weather and soil in the northwest, and most of them will die of illness within five or six years after they come.
Of the 180,000 men, one-third were between the ages of 20 and 35, and about 50,000 were able to go to war, excluding those who were physically disabled and seriously ill.
50,000 infantry, even in Daiguo, is a considerable army, but it's a pity that most of these 50,000 people are lazy, eating and waiting for death all day long, without any military style.
Therefore, this military training really gave Tan Qianbai, the city lord who left the capital, a headache.
Although he is the lord of a city, in the eyes of these young people who have no hope, he is just a prisoner.
As the sunset slowly fell, when Tan Qianbai's figure appeared at the head of the capital, he was greeted with a chorus of boos.
"Train the soldiers, train the soldiers!"
"Lao Tzu is tired for a day, and he won't let him rest!"
"What does it have to do with us when the Rong Clan crosses Daqing Mountain, and what benefits can we gain by beating them back?"
Young men, you and I are fighting for a lot of fun, and Tan Qianbai's face is red and white for a while, and he doesn't know how to mobilize.
Of course, as a forty-five-year-old "uncle", Tan Qianbai also has his own troubles.
What annoyed him the most was the city lord of Pingsha City, which was two hundred miles east of the capital, Xing Hou.
It was a thirty-six-year-old young man with a successful career and a high position. is ten years younger than him, and his position is one level higher than him, not to mention, he is directly in charge of him.
Young people, young people who only know how to be powerful and blessed in Pingsha City, young people who enjoy glory and wealth...... Every time I think of this, Tan Qianbai fucking wants to scold.
I have to say that the boos below also have a few of his Tan Qianbai's thoughts.
What benefits can he reap from beating the Rong clan back? If there are benefits, aren't they all taken away by Xing Piao, the Pingsha Hou?
Thinking of this, Tan Qianbai coughed fiercely, stared at everyone in the city with a pair of triangular eyes, and shouted: "Stand up for me!"
The young people at the bottom don't give Tan Qianbai any face, they should talk, they should chat, and they will be as lively as they want.
Tan Qianbai was already old, and he couldn't compare his voice with these young people, so he couldn't help it, so he gave a look of help to the people on the side.
Naturally, there are staff members in the Bofu, although it is a place where this kind of bird does not, but there are still many capable people. When even a man with a square face and a square body stood up, stood beside Tan Qianbai, bent down and shouted under the city wall: "Shut up-"
This shout was like a sudden thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the ears of most of the young people in the city were deafened.
Han Feng couldn't help but cover his ears and look up, and saw that the man was as majestic as a god under the light of the setting sun, but his body was too burly, and the whole person was like a large square brick, and he was on the city wall. He couldn't help but laugh, secretly thinking that he didn't know where Tan Qianbai found such a living treasure, and he would be the best candidate to be a herald in the army in the future.
"Hehe......" Looking at the crowd under the city that was quietly shaken, Tan Qianbai smiled proudly, patted the man's shoulder with satisfaction, and then whispered a few words in his ear, the man nodded, and smashed under the city wall word by word.
"I heard you all!"
"The lord of the city said, "From this day on, you will give me ...... Give the city lord a good training exercise!"
"Always ready to give me ...... Give the city lord a war with the Rongxian people!"
"The Rong people robbed the Yi girl, that is, they robbed your wife, we can't afford this loss!"
"Who won't give it to me...... If you train the city lord and are seen, you will be severely punished...... City Lord, what else?"
This man's voice is loud enough, and his brain is dull enough, according to what Tan Qianbai said, he retold it all without changing a word, who would have thought that he would forget the words after he said it, and although the sentence "What else" was to ask Tan Qianbai, he actually shouted out in a loud voice.
As a result, the sentence "What else" first stunned these people below, and then the people in the city burst into laughter, and the momentum that this man had just built before was immediately washed away.
Tan Qianbai was not laughing when he heard it, he really had the heart to kick this man to the city, but after all, he still had to rely on him to pass the word, so he had to endure this breath and said something in his ear.
The man's face was smiling crimson at this time, reflecting the sunset sun, like a freshly braised pig's head, fortunately it was still far from the city, and others could not see it. After listening to Tan Qianbai's speech, he nodded heavily and roared again.
"The city lord said that after the training, there will be a small test on the fifth day and a big test on the 15th. If you fail the small exam, you will be beheaded if you don't pass the big exam, and if you fail the big exam, you will be beheaded!"
Decapitation! Decapitation again!
The man was not too stupid, and when he shouted, he shouted the word "beheading" very loudly, not to mention that the people in the city, even if they were within ten miles outside the city, as long as they had ears, they could all hear it clearly.
Although the people who left the capital were used to being beaten and scolded on weekdays, they still spared their lives, so after hearing this, they immediately calmed down. And Han Feng also smiled with a smile on his face: It seems that this time Xing Hou and Tan Bo practiced for real. I don't know if the standard of the assessment is set high, but the people in Lidu are the life of moving ore, and they have been trained since childhood.
Tan Qianbai saw that these young people had finally accepted their wildness, smiled, and said a few more words in the man's ear, then shook his hand, shook his body and went down the city wall, and went home.
※※※※※※※※※
On the first day of military training, there was basically no element of "training," but the number of troops, the whole team, and the formation.
It was not easy to form a line of 50,000 people, and it took two hours for all of them to understand their position.
The 50,000-strong presidential leader was naturally Xing Piao, the Marquis of Xing who was far away in Pingsha City. And it was not until this moment that these 50,000 young people learned that this Pingshahou had another identity: Captain Yingyang, the official worshiped the general.
Of course, Xing Hou never left the capital on weekdays, so the young people were most concerned about the officers under his command.
The deputy commander is Tan Bo Tan Qianbai, he has no title, and the official worships the deputy general. Further down are the five commanders, each in charge of 10,000 men, and under the commanders, each of whom leads 1,000 men.
The commander of the capital and the commander of the division are all Tan Qianbai's staff, not prisoners of the capital, and the centurion below the commander is finally "a prisoner as an official".
However, as expected by the people of Lidu, even if it is "a prisoner as an official", it is still according to the prisoner's 369 and so on.
The new prisoners who left the capital were definitely not qualified to be officials, and the bandits also stood aside after that, so these "centurions" fell on the heads of Han Feng and Liu Quan, the "children of official eunuchs".
The 50,000 people were divided into five armies, in order of the Chen army, the white army, the Ying army, the Sui army, and the Zhen army, with 10,000 people each. Han Feng was assigned to the Sui Army and became the centurion of the 1400th Centurion, while Liu Quan was in the Chen Army and was the centurion of the 200th Centurion.
As for Zhuo Xiaoling, he was under Liu Quan's command and was just a small soldier.
After the team was assembled, the sun had already set, and the big man yawned, said "disband", and settled the day's errand.
Fifty thousand young people went to the mine for a day, and stood in line all night, they were already too tired to move, and most of them went home directly, only Han Feng and Liu Quan were a few eunuchs, and they couldn't stand the smell of sweat on their bodies, and as soon as they got out of the assembly site, they ran straight to the Seli River.
As soon as they arrived at the banks of the Seli River, several young men had stripped naked, and they almost stopped before they all jumped into the water.
It's just that Han Feng and Liu Quan didn't dare to take off all their clothes because they had cold iron swords on their bodies, so they jumped into the water with their shirts, and simply washed their clothes together.
Han Feng stood in the gathering place and was smoked by the smell of sweat from the people around him for more than two hours, and he was already dizzy, but when he was in the water, he sank his head in the clear water for a while before he raised his head and took a sharp breath.
"Whew-"
As soon as he exhaled the turbidity in his chest, he was unexpectedly raised his head by a person next to him, his long hair splashing with water, and he shook his head and face at once.
"Liu Quan, did you do it on purpose!" Han Feng laughed, picked up a handful of water, and threw it at the man.
Liu Quan also laughed, and then glanced at him, and the two swam a little farther away.
The other young people were too lazy to move, and only took a bath on the bank of the river at this time, and the two of them swam deep into the river for a moment, and there were no people around, and Liu Quan finally spoke: "Han Xiaoyi, this time I really earned it!"
"Yes, you and I each have a hundred people, but we are all prisoners, and we have no real power, so they may not be willing to obey you and me. Han Feng was not as optimistic as Liu Quan.
Liu Quan said with a smile: "If you can't accept it, you will stir up trouble! As long as you leave the capital, you will be able to cause trouble in the army, and then we will have a chance to escape!"
"Two hundred people in trouble?" Han Feng frowned, "But there are fifty thousand people in total! Two hundred people are not enough. ”
Liu Quan chuckled, pointed his finger at Han Feng, and then said, "What do you think? I didn't say what I really expected them to do. As long as we get out, these people will be enough to cover up, won't we?"
Hearing Liu Quan's words, Han Feng suddenly felt a chill on his body, and goosebumps burst all over his body: Liu Quan's meaning couldn't be clearer, he was planning to use those people as a shield.
In this way, as long as he escapes, doesn't it matter if all those people die? Although everyone is not familiar with each other, after all, they grew up together in the same city, can they make such use of them themselves? Not to mention that there is Zhuo Xiaoling among Liu Quan's subordinates, which can be regarded as good brothers.
As if guessing what Han Feng was thinking, Liu Quan said, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to escape with Xiao Ling when the time comes." Don't blame me, Xiaoyi. I advise you, do as much as you have now, and don't just think about those things that don't work!"
Han Feng came back to his senses when he said this, and secretly thought that Liu Quan was right, he was in this big cage, as long as he didn't go out, then he would pity others, it was really a big joke.
