Chapter 384: Training
In the evening of the colonial legion, countless bonfires were lit in the barracks, and then the smell of meat, two hundred men wrapped in Sikh turbans feasted in large pieces, and the officers gathered around the bonfire while enjoying the barbecue, while chatting with the Han officers in the rain of the interpreter. /First/Launch
The Sikhs are brave and good at fighting, and they are also very talented in military affairs, and most of the officers of the Ming army are also graduates of military academies, and they have belligerent blood in their bones. The poor ones are the Indian recruits who have not finished running, because the barracks have not yet been completely built, they can only rest in the wilderness, they have nothing to do, they are cold and hungry, and they can only lie on the ground and continue to maintain a state of 'suspended animation' when they smell the smell of meat.
On the second day, it was early in the morning with Han officers and Sikh non-commissioned officers carrying whips to drive people to the gymnastics, the poor recruits could only get up with sleepy eyes and empty stomachs and were driven to the school grounds, Xu Dachang on the school platform had been waiting for a long time, yesterday's drill was not without a little effect, at least he knew that all the Indian natives were not lazy, at least there were Sikhs who met the standards of warriors, he wrote a note that night, hoping that the emperor would continue to issue a conscription order, It is best to summon the hundreds of thousands of Sikhs distributed in the East Indies, and at least ten percent of these Sikhs are adult men, which is enough to form a backbone army of 20,000 colonies, but the emperor gave the limit of 100,000 colonies, and the other 80,000 must be recruited and trained one after another.
"Go ahead and run a hundred laps." Xu Dachang gave the order.
This time the Han officers have more accomplices, two hundred Sikh non-commissioned officers also carried bamboo whips and began to drive people, the Sikhs have always been not harmonious with the Indian natives, the two sides have friction from time to time, although every time it is provoked by the Sikhs, but the hatred born of the contradiction is a lot, the Sikhs now have the Han people to rely on, and began to frantically pounce on those backward recruits and pump wildly, and even Xu Dachang on the school platform is secretly tongued, the recruits were hungry all night and had no strength, But I saw a few Sikhs around punching and kicking a new soldier, and the beating was covered in blood, and the human instinct for survival erupted all over his body, and he ran lazily again.
A jogging evolved into the Indian version of the tiger and the rabbit, the recruits in front were running, the Sikhs in the back were swarming behind, and the slow ones were immediately kicked down, and as a result, more than a dozen Sikhs surrounded them, and they were beaten hard, and the recruits in front of them heard a burst of screams from behind and immediately became frightened and gave birth to a force to support the continued running.
"Lord Commander, a recruit has been beaten." The interpreter hurried to the school platform and reported to Xu Dachang, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair to supervise the practice.
Xu Dachang raised his eyes, the recruits had run away, and they couldn't see clearly, so he asked instead, "What's going on?" ”
"Dozens of gram people were killed.
The interpreter said with trepidation: "The recruit was slow, he was caught up by the Sikhs, and he was beaten for a long time, covered in blood, and the doctor in the army was out of breath when he arrived." ”
"Don't bother." Xu Dachang closed his eyes. Keep recuperating. He also muttered: "This kind of thing doesn't need to be reported in the future." ”
The Sikhs were originally killed and were still in a state of panic. However, after seeing that the beaters did not hold anyone responsible. Naturally, I worked harder. Time. The school yard became a torture hall. Backward lands were dragged to the side of the runway and beaten. Blood splattered. The recruits were so scared that they didn't dare to be lazy anymore. Burst out with all your strength and run violently. Until after noon. The effect is really being felt. Most of the 10,000 people combined. There is still no food to eat. Still being whipped by the Sikhs. It shocked everyone in the audience. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
At lunchtime. The recruits finally got their hands on the hot rice. It has been a whole day since noon yesterday. Dripping rice is not exhausted. After another morning of training. Now I'm hungry with my chest pressed against my belly and back. Although it's just white rice with a bowl of vegetable leaf soup. It is also very tasty. It's like you're in heaven.
It's just that those who don't meet the standards are unlucky. I can only smell the smell of rice. Hungry all day. He was also severely beaten. It's a really unpleasant taste. The landed people even regretted it. I knew that I didn't have to be beaten if I had food. It's time to finish the race.
Meal. Another intense training session. Thanks to the Sikhs as accomplices. All kinds of means of urging soldiers to train were used on recruits. The Sikhs were originally a branch of Indians. Naturally, it is known what the Indian soldiers are most afraid of. Not long. A piece of information about the customs of the Indian people was passed to Xu Dachang. Information. In fact, the main outline is India
Condition.
Formed in the 8th century, Hinduism is a new religion that combines various religions, mainly Brahmanism and Buddhism, and has been welcomed by successive rulers in the initial stage of its emergence and has spread widely. Hinduism inherited the teachings of Brahmanism, still believing in Brahmanism and the view that there is karma, karma, and reincarnation. Hinduism believes in multiple gods, but among the many gods, the three gods Brahma, Vish, and Shiva should be the main gods. They believe that Brahma is the god in charge of the creation of the world; Visha is the god in charge of sustaining the world; Shiva is the god in charge of destroying the world. Of the three main gods, Visha or Shiva is often established as one main god, and the other gods are under it, and all are incarnations of one of these two gods, and secondly, Hinduism has absorbed the Buddhist idea of asceticism and absorbed Shakyamuni as one of the incarnations of his main god. Hinduism advocates idealism, and it was the Vedanta philosopher of the 8th century who proposed this system. He founded the doctrine of non-dualism, the doctrine of monism, which holds that there is no real thing other than the universal spirit Brahma, and that the Brahman and the individual spirit are one and the same, "non-dual". It shows people how to get rid of the false and reach the path of truth. In his view, matter, the individual soul, and the human God all exist, but in the sense of general truth, all these are illusions, the result of the mysterious and incomprehensible action of Brahman by means of phantom powers. He believed that the illusion as real was conditional on one's own ignorance. And emphatically: "Only the wise can see through it that there is nothing behind it except the one real Brahman." In the eyes of Shankara, man's essence, that is, his immortal soul, and his spirit, are identical in nature to the highest reality Brahman, and the purpose of life is to abandon the illusory and unreal material world, so that the person's essence and Brahmana can become one. At this point, you can get rid of the painful cycle of worldly reincarnation and enter the wonderful and ** state of pure bliss. The path to liberation is to cultivate one's mind in many ways, to gradually achieve the ability to distinguish between the eternal and the impermanent, to control one's senses, to give up attachment to the worldly things, to fervently yearn for union with Brahman, and to gain firm faith through meditation on the truth of Brahmanism.
This kind of information made Xu Dachang stunned, what things in front of him are completely illusory, if you want to give up the pain, you have to cultivate the gods, these theories are simply fart for Xu Dachang, who is keen on fame and fortune, but it also makes Xu Dachang understand the root of the weakness and laziness of this group of Indians, not seeking this life, only the next life, you can eat less, you can wear less clothes, nothing is important, the important thing is just to wait for death, and after death, go to the extreme, how similar this is to Buddhism, the only difference is that Indians are very fanatical about Hinduism, while Han Chinese are always opportunistic, even if they seek Buddha, it also brings a lot of utilitarianism.
In India, people pray and give only devotionally. The Han Chinese, on the other hand, are completely different, and their mantra is 'Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses the early birth of a noble son.' ''Grandpa Zao-kun bless the fortune. ''Buddha blesses all well-being. It can be seen that the Han people never fanatically believe in a certain religion, and the main incentive to advocate religion is also to make a fortune and have children.
"Come on, get pen and ink.
"Xu Dachangteng's station, as a general, although he has made great contributions, but Xu Dachang knows that the new emperor still does not have much trust in him, and the reason why he can become the chief soldier of this colonial army is mostly because he played a leading role in the battle of Jiangnan and set an example in the general, which gave him a good position, and when it comes to trust, it is far from it.
This time, he Xu Dachang wants to take a good book and let the emperor know that he Xu Dachang is doing his best for the sake of Daming.
Immediately, a pro-soldier took a pen and paper, studied ink on the side of the table, Xu Dachang spread out the paper, lifted the pen in one go, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced
After a stick of incense, Xu Dachang threw down the pen, smiled, leaned over to dry the ink on the paper, took the box packed into a dense fold, and asked people to brand the sealing mud and send it to Haidu quickly.
"Come, call the Sikh non-commissioned officer department, this general soldier has something to order." Xu Dachang was in a good mood, and he even smiled when he spoke.
The soldiers responded and hurriedly went out.
A cup of tea, two hundred Sikh soldiers gathered outside the big tent, these Sikhs advocate force, but because they have been repeatedly suspected and oppressed by the previous rulers, so they have lived in the mountains for thousands of years, and the days are extremely hard, and now the mountains and rivers have changed suddenly, and the rulers have become Han people, obviously, these Han people are not bad to them, at least they did not regard them as a resistance to rule, but instead incorporated them as non-commissioned officers, not to mention the sufficient military salary, the food is also excellent, this small life is ten times better than the original, The Sikhs had already made up their minds to follow the Han Chinese, and now that the commander-in-chief had summoned, they came in vigour.
