Chapter 73: Training Soldiers

"Brother!"

Zu Tianshou, who was staying in the study, was holding a book, and first heard the shouts of his younger brother Zu Tianle, and then heard the sound of footsteps.

When he looked up, Zu Tianle strode in.

As soon as he saw his cousin holding a book, Zu Tianle complained: "Brother, you don't know a few big characters, what kind of scholar are you pretending to be!" ”

Zu Tianshou was a little embarrassed and explained: "What do you know, I'm here to avoid suspicion." ”

"Hehe......" Zu Tianle was amused.

After arriving in Jinzhou City, he learned from the ancient famous generals, not only took the initiative to hand over all the soldiers and horses handed over to him by Yang Chengying, but also presented the hundreds of families he raised.

Learn from the famous generals in history who "protect themselves wisely" and sit in the study every day.

As for leading the troops, he handed them over to his two younger brothers, Zu Tianle and Zu Tianchun.

Seeing Zu Tianle sitting down with a big grin, Zu Tianshou asked: "How to deal with the rebellion of the charcoal burners in Montenegro?" ”

"Huh~ The general is too merciful. Only the three civilians who made the most trouble were beaten with ten military sticks, and the rest were not prosecuted. Zu Tianle replied.

"The northern Jianyu is eyeing the tiger, and it is indeed not appropriate to kill excessively at the time of employing people."

This was expected by Zu Tianshou.

Zu Tianle sneered at this: "Hmph, Liaodong lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people!" If you don't kill, how can you stand up! ”

"You can't say that, it depends on people to restore production in Liaodong."

"Restore Liaodong? That's a joke. Since Qi Shaobao guarded Jizhen, the Mongols had nowhere to go so they flocked to Liaodong and plundered. After the rise of Jianyu, the killing was heavier. Court...... Hum...... The imperial court sent Gao Huai. After all these years, is there a little recovery? ”

This past in Liaodong made Zu Tianshou panic.

When Mr. Li went out of Liaodong for the second time, his old father retired due to old age, and he took over as the eldest son, and Ning Yuanwei commanded the affairs.

thought that Mr. Li could set things right, but he didn't expect Mr. Li and Gao Huai to mix together, causing a large number of people in Liaodong to flee to the territory of the slave chief, which greatly increased the strength of the slave chief.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Zu Tianshou came back to his senses and asked, "What did you find on this trip?" ”

"I found that the Lin Zi Battalion and the Fengzi Battalion under the command of the general reacted so quickly, and we were still gathering troops and horses, and they had already set off. I saw that the soldiers and horses were not assembled for a long time, and I was afraid of falling behind, so I hurriedly took my relatives and went with me. By the time they arrived, they were already in formation and ready to attack at any moment. ”

Zu Tianle was very impressed by such a gathering speed.

When Zu Tianshou heard this, he immediately thought about it.

After a while, I only heard Zu Tianshou say: "What a good Yang Chengying, he actually came up with this hand, killing three birds with one stone." ”

"Three birds with one stone? What do you mean? Zu Tianshou was puzzled.

Under the appeasement of Qi Dazhuang, this group of charcoal burners became more and more arrogant. The general sent people to deliberately provoke them to do 'out-of-the-ordinary' things. Then send troops to it, not only to deter charcoal burners, but also to test the speed of reaction. ”

"Oh...... Is this the first eagle? ”

"Second, look at the reactions of all soldiers and horses through this urgent matter, and make sure that you know in your heart."

"Hmmm! That...... The third carving? ”

"It's you and the other newly annexed Ming soldiers. He's making an example of the monkey, and we're the monkey. ”

Hearing his cousin say this, Zu Tianle suddenly realized.

"If it's really what the eldest brother said, then he should make a fuss about it next."

Zu Tianle boldly speculated.

Zu Tianshou nodded in agreement.

Outside the Golden State, the school field.

"You guys are disappointed today! This is just a misunderstanding, if Jianlu fights, you will die under Jianlu's iron hooves. ”

Yang Chengying stood on the platform and said loudly: "When the time comes, if you want to scold me for speaking mean, you won't have a chance, so you can only go to the underworld to cry." ”

The Ming army who had been trained lowered their heads in shame.

"I'm going to reorganize you into a battalion, and from now on, you'll train me well. Whoever dares to be lazy and slippery, give me farm tools. ”

This is a big stick, Yang Chengying will send carrots next: "According to your performance, I will appropriately increase your salary, in addition to rice, but also silver taels." ”

As soon as the "silver" was heard, the soldiers came to the spirit.

I heard that Port Arthur was held in the hands of the general, and I also saw with my own eyes a large number of rewards and pensions during the Battle of Gaizhou, and I had a full meal for the first time.

Immediately, the mood was high, and they all said that they would absolutely listen to the general's words.

Yang Chengying pulled them to the new training ground.

This training ground, which was built by Shang Kejin in accordance with the drawings given by Yang Chengying, covers a large area. What is even more surprising is the equipment in the venue.

There are barbed wire, there are walls made of wooden planks, there are deep pits, and so on.

Unbeknownst to them, this was later known as the "400-meter hurdle".

What made the soldiers even more surprised was that the main general Yang Cheng took off his armor and tied his legs with strips of cloth.

After the two legs were tied, Yang Chengying said: "I'll give you a show, how can this thing run!" ”

After that, we came to the beginning of the 400-meter hurdle.

In front of all the soldiers, he made a strange squatting position, pressed his hands forward to the ground, bent his right foot, and squatted backward on the stone with his left foot.

"Pre~Prepare, Run!"

With the sound of gongs and drums, Yang Chengying rushed out like a gust of wind, completing a series of actions such as crossing piles, trenches, low walls, and high board jumps.

Yang Chengying finished running, attracting bursts of warm applause.

Not only the freshness of new things, but also the admiration for the speed of the main general.

"This set of movements, different from the previous five kilometers, has a significant effect on our physical fitness, but it is also very dangerous."

Yang Chengying said breathlessly: "Therefore, I don't require you to run like me at the beginning, you can use extremely slow speed, even walking." ”

Immediately afterwards, he sent all the flag officers out of the ranks and began to teach the skills of obstacle one by one.

"Make sure that you are balanced, and after the body jumps, step on the first pile surface with the soles of your feet and bend your knees to cushion ......"

Yang Chengying gave a demonstration and introduced the skills in detail.

Except for the general flag, which can move around at will when onlookers, the rest of the soldiers are standing in place and standing in a military posture.

Whoever dares to do so will be punished.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days is in the physical sense, and it is extremely costly, food-consuming, and time-consuming.

The reason why Houjin's soldiers feel invincible in the field is because Nurhachi has been fighting since the beginning of the thirteenth set of armor. After so many years, the salary is very rich, and it is naturally more powerful than that of the same era.

Yang Chengying knew that if he wanted to fight with Houjin, in addition to proper planning, the quality of soldiers was the key.

And the training of soldiers should be patient and not too impatient.

Since then, he has been training his soldiers diligently.

At the same time, Nurhachi led the main force of Houjin to cross the Sancha River and retreat towards Shenyang.

The reason why he marched slowly was because he brought a large number of people from Liaoxi with him.

Looking at the long procession, Nurhachi's gaze was unusually cold.
