Chapter 514: New Army Training

(This chapter involves some recruit training, pensions, benefits, etc., if you don't like it, you can skip it)

In the whole world, because of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, it began to gradually begin to stir up.

As Hu Biao, who generally exists in the eye of the storm in the whole incident.

There are also Xu Feng, Cangguan, Fengrui, Huang Yizhi, Wolf Qing, Ah Li, Lao Hei, Corn, Old Snake, Yu Hanfeng, Singer, Wu Pawn, Er Fat, War Elephant, Big Fish, Windmill, Gust of Wind, Guifei and other survivors.

Their performance is far calmer than the outside world imagines.

Or to put it another way, in addition to Hu Biao and the three people from the intelligence system, as well as the person in charge of the business department Guifei, they also pay more or less attention to the situation in the outside world.

The rest of the team simply doesn't have time to care about other things in the current situation.

Just the work assigned to them in the huge Northern Expedition plan already involved all their personal energy.

However, with their efforts, the whole plan was carried out in an orderly manner, and some quite good results were achieved......

Time: The eighth day of November in the first year of Maode.

Location: Seven or eight miles outside the east gate of Kaifeng City, on a shooting range open to the public for the new army.

A man dressed as a company commander of the Great Song New Army shouted a long command with his throat and mouth yelling: "Prepare, aim, fire~"

Under this set of orders, a total of forty-five soldiers of the new army immediately raised the muskets of brown besses in their hands.

First, he aimed at the position thirty meters away in front of him, knelt down into a row of targets under the big tie of five flowers, and pulled the trigger of his fingertips one after another.

Suddenly, at the moment when a choking white smoke rose up, a thunderous gunshot also rang out.

Unfortunately, in the next second, a loud burst of laughter rang out from the mouths of a group of women and idlers from the positions on the left and right.

When the company commander saw it, he was almost not.

Because in such a round, it was a close-range fire, and it was difficult to even miss the platoon fire, but the result was that he didn't want to see anyone.

Only nine targets were knocked to the ground, and the remaining twenty-one people were almost scared to death, but nothing happened at all.

God knows, there were so many other bullets under this fire, where did they fly?

In fact, it was not only this recruit company commander who was angry with such a result on the spot, and even the big fish who was silently watching such a scene from the sidelines.

It was also in a huge embarrassment that I wanted to cover my face with my hands.

Even if he didn't cover his face, with a very speechless emotion in his mouth, he scolded: "These rabbit cubs are just lacking in training~"

In fact, there is such a scene in front of me, and it is normal to take it seriously.

When the members of the original team were still in Zhuxian Town, they reached a unified consensus on the handling of the prisoners captured in this battle.

The blood debt was shot, and their skulls were used to form a part of the Jingguan Temple, which was used to deter enemies from all directions.

Those who have no blood debt are sent to work as coolies, and with enough sweat, they can make up for the sins they have committed.

Based on this concept, out of a total of more than 150,000 captives, 17,081 are now seriously wounded, and they are dead.

The remaining 100,000 people are in the process of reporting and exposing each other.

Because the whistleblower can reduce the guilt a little, at least under the reward of eating a meal of wine and meat before death; A total of 40,311 people were found out and faced with the end of being executed.

In such a process, because of the Jurchens' blood debts.

Basically, among the 100 Jurchen captives, only five or six people can be exempted from execution, and in general, few of the Jurchens captured this time can survive at all.

However, in the actual operation of the treatment of these captives, there are some changes.

Of course, such a change is not that those captives with blood debts can be lucky enough to leave a life, but just live a little longer.

The reason is very simple, that was when Hu Biao and they were expanding the scale of the new army, they suddenly thought of one point:

According to their principle of recruiting new soldiers, do not be cunning, and try to recruit some people in the countryside who have not seen the world, preferably honest and honest people with a family.

Such a principle has the advantage of being able to prohibit it in future warfare.

However, there are also disadvantages, these honest people need to train for a long time before they can become a qualified warrior on the battlefield and get used to the bloody battlefield.

Therefore, in the current limited time, even the training of recruits has been compressed from the original three months to only one month.

Why not use those recruits to execute these doomed captives?

Let these people also play a little role before they die.

To know! Whether a soldier has seen blood on his hands or not is fundamentally different on the battlefield.

As a result, a total of 40,311 prisoners with blood debts were able to eat more grains and porridge for a period of time in the prisoner of war camp.

When the recruits arrived, they were gradually recruited from all over the country.

After a few more days of preliminary training in queues and muskets, the scene began every day when different units of recruits were brought here to serve as executioners.

As for the process, there are still a lot of idlers and women on the side?

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also a fairly normal thing.

It should be noted that these people are some outsiders who have come to Kaifeng City from other regions in the recent past.

The original natives of Kaifeng City are now basically busy with various jobs in the factory.

Even the women were busy sewing the uniforms and boots of the New Army, so where did they have time to join in the excitement.

Since Kaifeng City, the most prosperous city in the world, there is no threat that the Jin people will kill at any time, and it has become the most anticipated city by everyone in the world.

Every day, I don't know how many scholars, merchants, craftsmen, and even just some farmers come to such a huge city with the hope of a better life in the future.

Their arrival also made Kaifeng City quickly recover and become more and more beautiful.

And after these people came to Kaifeng City, the first place they wanted to see was no longer the previous places like Daxiangguo Temple and Mashi Street.

It has become a shooting range outside the city that shoots more than 1,000 gold people every day.

There are also some farther positions, the 'Great Song Yimin Monument', the martyr's cemetery on the side, and the Jingguan that is taking shape every day.

Even if you go to the outside of Donghua Gate, the Invalides Courtyard full of disabled soldiers, it is more attractive than the Daxiangguo Temple, which is now more dilapidated.

Of course, Hu Biao's approach has also aroused the opposition of many old pedants.

In particular, it is said that a young child, led by his parents, was frightened after watching the shooting of prisoners of war and the Jingguan Temple, and it was not until he made a wish at Daexiangkoji Temple that he got better.

So he wrote a joint name to Empress Maode and Hu Biao.

The content of the claim is nothing more than the killing of prisoners and ominous, and the dignified Song Dynasty must convince people with virtue.

It's a pity that some of these joint letters were given to Hu Biao, and the situation was slightly better; I didn't even look at it, so I ordered someone to burn it clean.

The shooting and piling up of Jingguan were not affected at all.

Amazing, the next day in the "Great Song Times", Huang Yizhi published an article titled under the pseudonym of "Phantom Saint":

On the importance of planting flowers and blood, such an article.

Empress Maude put these things away well, but they were not for viewing; Instead, it plays a similar role in writing down the names of these people in a small notebook.

There is no doubt that when Empress Maude really takes power, the fate of these guys is expected to be more tragic......

*******

Okay, let's put the screen back to the shooting range.

Da Yu, who was still in a good mood, the chief instructor of this recruit battalion, finally couldn't sit still after seeing the poor effect of the recruits' gun executions.

After going straight through, the muskets were examined one by one.

After some inspection, Da Yu, the head coach of the fight gym in a modern plane, was as strong as a man like a cow, and he was almost angry with high blood pressure.

Why? There were only forty-five musketeers, but there were many strange problems.

There were seven of them, and they didn't pull out the connecting strip under the tension, and they just pulled the trigger.

Not to mention the fact that it is strange to hit the target in this way, if you really knock all the strips off the battlefield, wouldn't the musket immediately turn into a burning stick?

There are three people, and they simply forgot to pour the ignition powder into the powder pool, so it is strange that it can be fired.

In addition, under the shaking of the hand, most of the gunpowder was spilled on the ground, resulting in a serious lack of kinetic energy of the bullet.

There is even a god-man, and he doesn't know what's in his head? Three rounds of lead bullets were inserted into the barrel, and then the barrel was completely blocked.

Boy! Fortunately, this thing didn't start, and if it did, wouldn't the barrel chief be blown up, affecting the recruits on the side?

Forced to take a deep breath, the big fish calmed down the emotions that were about to burst the blood vessels.

picked up the musket that had been plugged in the barrel because it was stuffed with three rounds of lead bullets, and whipped it at the platoon commanders of this recruit company.

While whipping, he scolded in his mouth:

"Special! You are still veterans of our Fifth Infantry Division, and Lao Tzu can't teach such an outrageous situation even if he sends a pig as an instructor.

If you can, you can do it, if you can't do it, go home and pick up the children, don't embarrass our old fifth division here. ”

Fortunately, even under the fury, the big fish still has some sense of proportion in his heart.

It's just that he turned the barrel of the gun and drew it at the platoon commander of the recruit company, instead of carrying the musket upside down and beckoning him with the hard jujube wood butt, which would really kill people.

But even so, the company platoon commanders of those recruits were choked enough.

And after the big fish stopped, these platoon commanders who were beaten by the teacher had a huge irritability in their hearts; He began to greet the sticks in his hands and the soles of his feet to a group of rookie recruits.

Boy! It can be regarded as a kind of brutal method similar to the army of little devils, one level at a time, and a tradition has been formed in the army.

It is even foreseeable that such a tradition will still spread in the Great Song Dynasty and the entire planet many years later.

No way? When Hu Biao was training in the first batch of new troops, he thought that he could only do this in a hurry.

After the crisis of the Jin people's war against the Song Dynasty was resolved, some civilized training methods should be properly introduced, and it was stipulated that soldiers should never be beaten or scolded.

The result? In the current second batch of recruits, the training time is even more hurried.

What kind of civilized training methods can only end directly without starting.

Fortunately, even in the face of such uncivilized training methods, there have been only six cases of desertion in the huge boot camp so far.

And after the deserters were dealt with in public, there have been no new deserters in the last two days.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the soldiers they recruit are basically honest farmers, which plays a considerable role.

Fearful of harsh military law and consequences, these people gritted their teeth and endured.

On the other hand, it is the generous treatment of recruits that also plays a key role.

Although it has only been more than half a year, Hu Biao's economic situation has already improved, and it is not the kind of situation where they have to exchange food for old clothes as training uniforms, and then modify them to make do with them.

For a group of recruits who are basically peasant men.

You can eat a full meal every day, and you can have a meal of meat, eggs, and meat dishes for two days.

It is sent once a year in spring and autumn, and counting the training uniforms and battle robes, there are a total of six sets of clothes, shoes and socks, which are already excellent treatment.

What's more, the New Army now has a serious salary every month.

Even if they are new recruits, they have the same salary for a month.

With Kaifeng City, the price of goods has been greatly reduced, and the money can now buy half a stone, that is, 46 catties of rice, or more than one stone of miscellaneous grains, a horse of silk, three and a half horses of linen, one of them.

Such a military salary is already much stronger than their farming at home.

If you become a veteran, or even be promoted to an officer, such a military salary will roll up.

Poor Qiu Ba's statement has nothing to do with the New Army anyway.

The most important point is that the imperial court's pension standard for those who died and were seriously injured in the last battle of Zhu Xianzhen has been lowered, and a permanent precedent has been formed.

Specifically: the court of the war dead gave their families a pension of 50 yuan immediately.

If there are parents, widows, and children in the family, they can receive a living allowance from the street office every month; Maybe not much, but enough to live.

Until the parents died of old age, the frost remarried, and the children reached adulthood at the age of sixteen.

Moreover, children can enjoy a series of preferential treatment and care when they enter school and go on to higher education.

If it is a seriously injured or disabled person, in addition to the same objective retirement pay; Depending on the condition of the disability, an errand will be arranged as much as possible in the factories, neighborhood offices, and yamen of the imperial court, so that they can earn a living from it.

In short, in the words of Hu Xianggong: as long as the Great Song Dynasty is there, all the warriors who fight to the death for the country will never have to worry about being injured and dying in battle.

Based on all of the above, these recruits were able to persevere.

In the end, under the beating, the recruit company commander with a blue nose and swollen face, facing the rearranged battle line, shouted out a sentence in his mouth: "On the bayonet~"

After the order reached their ears, the recruits, who were also bruised and swollen, began to draw the bayonets in their holsters at their waists and put 'Kaka~' on the barrels of their guns.

Then, the company commander shouted again: "Walk in unison~"

Under such an order, the military musicians, who were also played by the recruits, began to beat a brisk drum beat; So that the recruits can step on the drum beat, hold the snow bayonet, and start to move forward.

Relying on the efforts of the company platoon commanders to maintain and advance, it can only be said that the process is barely deformed.

As for what goes into the wall, forget it.

This march lasted until they came to the captives who had fallen to their knees; In the mouth of the recruit company commander, a new order was issued:

"Stop, stab~"

So, under the continuous assassination of Xue Liang's bayonets, the captives who had been hovering and waiting on the verge of death for a long time fell to the ground one by one with holes all over their bodies.

After dying completely, there was even a relieved smile on his face with a painful expression, and he was finally dead.

And in such a process, the rookie recruits who could still endure and not vomit when the platoon guns were fired, many of them vomited on the spot.

The women and idlers who saw such a scene burst into laughter.

It's just that what these women and idlers don't know is that in the process of their jokes, these rookies in front of them have now completed a fundamental transformation......

In the following time, these vomiting rookies were allowed to retreat after carrying all the corpses on the ground onto the carriage.

Then, another company of recruits entered.

The big fish roared out of his mouth: "Bring the next batch of captives up~"

Under such orders, thirty more captives were dragged up, and many of them were incontinent because of the fear in their hearts.

That is, their trouser legs were tied with straw rope in advance, so that the shooting range was not covered with filth.

It's just that no one has the slightest sympathy for the ugliness of these people; When they have blood on their hands, they are destined to do this.

Only those innocent people who were killed by them are qualified to forgive them.

And the scene of such a group of recruits executing the prisoners, the big fish did not continue to watch.

The whole situation of the training of the new army can be said to be complicated, and he has so much time to stay here all the time.

However, in line with the idea that he had come to the capital, before returning to the new barracks, he rode a horse to the 'Great Song Yimin Monument' a few miles away.

Because next to the towering monument, there is a cemetery where all the new soldiers who died in the battle of Zhuxian Town.

Among them, under his command as the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division, there are 1,736 people buried here; Their neat tombstones are lined up like a forest as if they were in life.

From the guard's hand, after receiving a jar of good wine.

While the big fish poured on some tombstones, he muttered quietly: "Brothers, bless all the best of the Northern Expedition, and let that Dajin Kingdom forever become the dust of history......
