Chapter 456 Recruit Barracks

(There are about a dozen chapters of content transition before the next stage of the mission.)

The author intends to use an indigenous perspective to write about the changes around him, as well as the various preparations of the team, which may be a little boring, and you can skip it if you don't want to see it)

Time, March 5 of the first year of Maude.

The location, fifteen miles northeast of Kaifeng City, was in the recruit training camp of the Great Song New Army.

With his head up, his chest straight, his abdomen tucked, his waist straight, and his eyes looking ahead, Hou San, a member of the new army of the Great Song Dynasty, stood in a standard PLA military posture.

About a meter in front of him, there was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old boot camp instructor.

While pulling his voice, the roar of filial piety continued to reach his ears, and at the same time, he endured a lot of saliva and kept splashing on his face:

"Stand upright, take a break, and talk about it.

You have heard me clearly, Hu Xianggong and the chief instructors in the army, I pity you and others for the hard training in the past half a month, and specially allow you to rest for a day.

After eating in the camp today, as long as you register here, you can go straight out of the camp and go home.

But remember that the drums will start beating in the camp tomorrow morning, and those who fail to return to the camp in time after the three drums are finished will be treated as deserters.

What happened to the deserters, I think you are also very clear, have you heard it? ”

Yes! Hou San, an indigenous man in Kaifeng City, after successfully registering in Kaifeng Mansion that day, the document that registered his name told him.

With Hou San's good body and strength, there must be no problem in joining the new army, as long as he waits for news at home with peace of mind.

Sure enough, three days later, early in the morning, people from the street office came.

brought him a big red flower, and together with dozens of men in the surrounding alleys, they were first sent to gather outside the city in a burst of gongs and drums.

In the end, after gathering a large number of recruits, they were pulled together to this boot camp.

The first three days were fine, nothing more than everyone worked together to cut down trees and dig the soil, and this simple new barracks was built in a hurry.

After the boot camp was built, they began their formal training.

It is equivalent to saying that there was half a month before, and Hou San stayed in the camp to be trained, and he had not seen his new daughter-in-law.

Even if the problem is like this, after hearing such a huge good news in their ears, Hou San and the others counted one by one, not to mention that they cheered on the spot.

Instinctively still maintain a good military posture, that is called a standing like a pine without moving.

Special! I don't dare to move.

Because in the previous half a month, after not knowing how many military sticks I received; Something called discipline is now deeply ingrained in their bones.

Or to put it another way, for today's Hou San and others, they are no longer afraid of the legendary Jin Man.

Because the fear of the recruit instructor in his heart has surpassed everything.

As long as he is not scolded by the instructor, he is beaten with a stick and kicked with the soles of his feet, and he can do anything; Even if it was holding the legendary explosive bag and rushing towards the heavy cavalry of the golden soldiers.

Finally, in the ensuing time, the one hundred and thirty recruits of their recruit company shouted 'I heard it' with the breath of dantian.

The instructor nodded with satisfaction and said a heavenly sentence: "Let's go, go to the cafeteria~"

At such a time, Hou San's unlucky bastards dared to cheer out loud.

It was only after the cheering that they gathered in the squad again, and under the leadership of the squad leader, that is, the 'ten generals', they walked towards the canteen in a column.

The recruits of other classes are also like this.

If you look down from the sky, you can see tens of thousands of personnel in a huge new barracks, which looks so orderly at the moment......

For Hou San and other Kaifeng natives, their new army organized by Grandpa Hu naturally has a new atmosphere.

If you think about it seriously, there are too many differences with the forbidden army before the Great Song Dynasty.

Not to mention the forbidden army, I don't know how many days apart, it was the last time I conducted a random exercise; The new army to which they belong is quite different in terms of its establishment.

Fortunately, it is not complicated overall, and Hou San figured out the doorway on the first day of enlistment.

The new army has a squad of ten people and a squad leader, which is equivalent to the ten generals in the original Great Song Forbidden Army; A deputy squad leader, equivalent to the commander of the forbidden army.

The four squads were organized into a platoon, and the position of the chief and deputy platoon commanders was newly created.

The three platoons add up to a company, with a total of about 130 people, and the company commander is not much different from the previous capital of the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Together, the four battalions totaled about 550 men, and they were organized into one battalion.

The commander is called the battalion commander, which is actually the battalion commander in the forbidden army.

In addition, it is said that in the future, there will be higher levels of regiments, brigades, divisions, corps, etc.; However, it will not be formed until the end of the three-month recruit training.

Now, the largest unit in the training camp is the battalion.

The new army, with a total of 50,000 people, made up a total of 90 battalion heads, and the number of the company to which Hou San was located was the third battalion and eight companies of the recruits.

In short, when forming the new army, Hu Biao and his team did not cause opposition from some old forces of the Great Song Dynasty.

Hu Shumi, who was in power in power and opposition, was afraid, but not afraid, mainly because it was a little troublesome and boring, so they tried their best to rely on the official names and unit names of the new army to the Great Song Forbidden Army.

In fact, in essence, it is still the set of PLA.

It's normal to think about it, the Chinese people formed troops after they crossed, of course, they learned PLA......

After a short time, Hou San and the others lined up to come to the cafeteria; To be more precise, they are actually some straw huts with only roofs.

The new army was formed in too much hurry, and in a hurry, it was too late to even make tables, chairs and benches.

Their morning food was placed on the ground in the middle.

After sitting cross-legged, even though it was not the first time that he had eaten such a morning meal in front of him, Hou San still felt a little emotional in his heart.

The main reason is that it is still too rich.

I saw that on the ground in front of them, a large basin was filled with yellow multigrain cooking cakes, a large basin was filled with millet porridge, a small basin of soybean milk, and a few small pickles.

All of the above, except for soy milk, which is only a small bowl per person.

Other cooking cakes and millet porridge, as long as your stomach can eat it, you can eat as much as you want, as long as it is not wasted.

The only problem is that the grain is said to have been dug up from the Hanjia warehouse in Luoyang City, and it is all old grain that was hoarded in warehouses in the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

So much so that after eating it now, it has an indescribable stale taste from the boss.

But in today's year, it is already Tianxing to be able to eat a full stomach, where are there so many other words.

It's just that when he ate and drank later, Hou San only ate a total of five fist-sized multigrain cookcakes, and a big bowl of soup before putting down the fast.

Including the other colleagues in the class, it is also like this.

No way! The main thing is that when I first came to the boot camp, everyone ate too hard.

Hou Sanke clearly remembered that the first meal he entered the camp was to eat eight multigrain cooking cakes in one go, and he also drank three bowls of millet porridge.

If it weren't for the fact that the instructor was afraid that he would die, and stopped him from continuing to eat and drink, it would not have been a problem to have three or five more cooking cakes.

But after Hou San ate for more than ten days in a row, he couldn't eat anymore; Every time you eat half of the food you ate before, you feel full.

Every time he thought of this, Hou San felt a little regretful......

******

After eating the morning meal, Hou San registered with the instructor again, and he was finally able to go home from the camp.

When I thought of the newly married little lady in my house, my heart was indescribably hot.

immediately rushed back to the dormitory, and found two chickens under the bed and put them in his arms like babies; If you talk about these two chickens, you really have some origins.

Every day, after they got up to the beat of the golden drums.

No matter whether the weather is windy or rainy, under the leadership of the instructor, he must carry a log of about 30 catties and run ten miles before he can come back and have breakfast.

In each recruit camp, the first class to finish will be rewarded with a chicken per person.

If you finish a class at the end, you won't have to eat that day's morning food.

In order to be able to eat a chicken, more importantly, everyone is a group of old men, where can they not afford to lose any face; Every morning, when we are 'weight-bearing', everyone is quite hard-working, and the competition is quite fierce.

So much so that these days, Hou San's class has only won twice, and they have only taken two chickens in total.

However, unlike others, Hou San secretly went to the gangfu class to replace the cooked chicken with raw; In order to bring something for my little lady when I can go home.

Thinking of the appearance of the little lady eating fragrant chicken, Hou Sanna was much happier than eating a good meal of noodles himself.

Just took two chickens and hurried to the door of the new barracks.

After seeing the side of the gate, several people standing with smiling eyes.

Hou San immediately stood still, and while straightening his chest and abdomen, he raised the palm of his right hand and placed it diagonally on the edge of his temple, performing a military salute unique to the new army.

The mouth did not forget, and roared out loud:

"I've seen the four chief instructors of Lao Hei, Big Fish, Windmill, and Chen Tang, good morning, chief instructor~"

The reason why the four people in front of them are called so is that these ministers are the heads of the recruit battalion.

Don't look at the instructors of Hou San and others, they were trained like grandsons during the day, but at night they were trained like grandsons by these four chief instructors.

However, these chief instructors have an excellent attitude towards these little soldiers.

Hou San clearly remembered that the windmill was a right attendant of the military department, a dignified member of the imperial court, who secretly covered the quilt for himself when he was still patrolling in the middle of the night a few days ago.

It is precisely the above that makes the recruits admire these fathers very much, and even the daily title has become a more intimate title of 'chief instructor'.

"Good morning, I haven't been home for a few days, go back early, remember to come back on time tomorrow morning."

While the above four people returned the salute, one of them, the chief instructor of Big Fish, said a word in his mouth, and he looked very pleasant.

Then looking at the recruits in front of him, even after leaving the camp, walking unsupervised, they spontaneously formed a group of two and a column of three.

Immediately, in their hearts, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the four of them basically have the experience of PLA service, the work in the training of recruits falls on their shoulders.

I have to say that even if they are PLA veterans, they are under great pressure for the scene of training 50,000 people at once.

I can only select some old soldiers in the forbidden army who can barely use them, and train them the night before.

During the day the next day, these rookie instructors were asked to train more rookie recruits.

Whether this approach can be done or not, they are also uncertain in their hearts.

In fact, these days, Hou San and the others were scolded by the instructors at every turn, with military sticks, and big soles, but in fact, it appeared on the four of them.

For these guys who can't even tell the difference between left and right at first, and can only roll up a pair of trouser legs to distinguish between them, it's really too inefficient to learn if they don't do it.

Fortunately, after spending half a month, it seems that the specific effect is not bad.

These rookies have a little bit of a soldier's appearance.

It's just that after thinking of something, Chen Tang, a stuffy gourd, suddenly asked with a very worried expression:

"According to our training syllabus, Lao Hei has almost trained in the queue.

In the next time, it will soon involve the use of muskets, and there are other related tactics, can the muskets on Wolf Qing's side be in place in time? ”

After hearing such a sentence, Lao Hei's face also showed some sadness.

Because they know very well that the Jin people will not give them too much time to prepare.

At most, in September, after this year's grain harvest, it is the time when the autumn is crisp and the people are fat and fat, and the army of the Jin people will continue to move south.

Therefore, the time left for them to train and become an army is only six months.

According to the initial plan for the reorganization of the army, all the recruits were to be trained in the boot camp for three months, and then reorganized for another three months.

Then, he will have to fight to the death with Jin Bing.

Therefore, every day of their time is quite precious, and every step of training and running-in steps planned in advance cannot be disrupted.

Otherwise, if one step is out of order, it will have an impact on the combat effectiveness of the new army.

However, they also knew that in such a small amount of time, with the manpower and material resources at hand, at least 30,000 muskets, as well as other weapons and armor equipment, would be completed.

What a pressure it will be for the Ministry of Industry in charge of Wolf Qing, Lao Tie, Wu Pawn and others.

"I heard that the sample gun has been completed, let's go and see it later; Anyway, they also want their husband to produce one or two thousand expenditures, so that the recruits can use them in turn. ”

In the end, in Lao Hei's mouth, he said such a very helpless sentence......

Relying on sufficient food and good training for half a month, he is now getting stronger and stronger.

At a distance of fifteen miles from the new barracks to Kaifeng City, Hou Sanna walked back in a relaxed manner; When I walked into the city gate, there was only a thin bead of sweat on my forehead.

The problem is, after he walked through the city gates.

Looking at the houses and streets in front of him, which can be said to be extremely familiar, Hou San suddenly felt a little strange for a while.

The houses are still those houses, the streets are still those streets, but after looking at them, there is always an indescribable feeling.

Immediately, I couldn't help but muttered a sentence in my mouth:

"Huh? This Kaifeng City, I have lived here for more than 20 years since I was a child, why haven't I come back for half a month, why do I feel a little unrecognizable? ”

After a while, Hou Sancai reacted after patting his head, and Kaifeng City became surprisingly clean.

In the past, in Kaifeng City, although there were some places called 'garbage rooms' at street corners and city gates, where everyone could pour garbage into their homes and then transport them out of the city by special carriages.

For example, the streets in front of some shops, the juniors will clean them from time to time.

But there will always be some garbage abandoned by everyone on the street, and even the feces of large animals.

As a result, now, after looking at the past, these familiar things are not at all, and it is called a very clean one.

However, because he was eager to go home, Hou San was too lazy to care about these for a while; After hurriedly confessing to his colleagues, he walked briskly towards Tsing Yi Lane, where he was.

Walking, walking, because I felt a little itchy in my throat.

Immediately, in the sound of 'TUI~', a mouthful of old phlegm was spit out from a long distance.

Then before he could take two steps, an unusually high-pitched voice sounded behind him: "Wu Na man, hurry up and stop me~"

When I looked back, I found a white-haired old woman.

She was wearing a white-washed skirt and a red cloth ring on her right arm, and she was walking towards her like a fly.

Before Hou San could speak, the old woman shouted in a series of mouths:

"According to the latest regulations of Kaifeng Prefecture, in order to maintain street hygiene, everyone is not allowed to spit and defecate at will, and if you violate the first penny, you will be fined two pennies for the second time.

The third time he was not punished, and he was directly arrested and taken to Kaifeng Mansion for three days, and he had to send food to his family.

Seeing your dress, the old man should be a new army who returned to the city during the military holiday today, and it should be regarded as the first offense, so hurry up and pay a penny. ”

After saying that, he took a wooden whistle in his hand, and if Hou San did not obey, he would blow the whistle to call someone.

Instinctively, I glanced around, and found that the pedestrians around me were used to seeing it, and it shouldn't be this old woman's money.

Hou San smiled bitterly and took out a penny from his pocket, and when he handed it over, he asked curiously: "Auntie, are you a prince of Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Xu is Hou San's appearance of paying the money happily, as well as the identity of the new army, makes the old woman have a good impression.

After putting down the whistle, taking a penny, and handing over a small piece of paper stamped with a red seal, such a skillful set of actions, his mouth also replied happily:

"How can the old body have that kind of blessing, but Her Majesty the Empress and Grandpa Hu are merciful, seeing that the old body and other old women are lonely and helpless, and have no means to make a living.

Let the old man and others clean the street at the same time, if you see someone spitting and defecating at will, you will come forward to stop and fine, and there will be a monthly subsidy for money and food, so as not to starve to death~"

When he said this, Hou San could clearly see the good spirit on the old woman's face, which could be said to have never been seen before.

For a while, in today's Kaifeng City, the strangeness that brought him was stronger; But it seems to be good that this is full of life......
