Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Stubborn Willow Rise
Zheng He came to the station of the Shenji Battalion again, he wanted to see how these drills were after ten days?
When I arrived at the place, I was completely confused.
I saw those hundred households with tiger faces and leather whips in their hands patrolling in front of their own team. Some of those general flags smiled, and some roared at the small flags.
There are even hundreds of households holding whips and pumping the general flag.
The entire training ground was in full swing, and he called out the oldest Qianhu Shi Buyu.
"Old stone, what's the situation, how can you still beat people when you practice?" Zheng He asked.
"If you don't fight, you can't remember. If you can't meet the requirements of Master Xu, you won't be able to proceed to the next stage of training. It's a shame to hold back. My lord, I'm busy, you can go and see Lord Xu to know. ”
Shi Buyu left in a hurry after speaking.
"Whip him, if yes, whip his right foot, so that he can't remember." Roaring as he walked.
Zheng He was stunned for a moment, this stone has always been steady, how is it so hot now, why is this temper so irritable.
Just as he was hesitating, another Qianhu Pei Cheng walked over leisurely.
"I've seen adults." Pei Cheng had a smile on his face.
"What's going on, how did the old stone rush to be like this?" Zheng He asked.
"Lord Hui, I will yesterday, his two hundred households have not passed the level, and he can't enjoy the next stage of training, the key is that according to Lord Xu's punishment regulations, you can't eat meat for three days."
Pei Cheng said with a smile.
"What does this mean, you've passed all of them?" Zheng He asked.
"Of course, please review it." Pei Cheng's mouth was grinning. Apparently anxious to show off.
Zheng He knew the character of this subordinate and immediately followed.
It turned out that at this post, thousands of people were neatly lined up. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a straight javelin.
The vertical and horizontal lines are all the same, which is not counted, and after moving, it is neatly aligned, like a person's movements.
The password is unprecedented, turn left, turn right, walk in unison, look left and right, stand upright, and take a break.
After the command came down one by one, these sergeants acted in unison, although some of them still had whip marks on their faces, but their spirit was revealed at once.
Zheng He took a look at it, and felt a cool breath from his heel Dao Tianling Gai, stirring the spirit.
The four words thundered in his heart, 'like a finger'. How easy is it to command such an army on the battlefield?
The most important thing is that this kind of neat and uniform spirit can be carried out without discrimination. That's the rarest thing.
"How can you do this in ten days?"
The question in Zheng He's heart blurted out. If you can train to this point, it's worth it even if you don't have a firecracker.
"Make the rules, make the password clear, and then it's a beating." Pei Cheng said coldly.
In this era, training soldiers is like this, and if they can't do it, they will be beaten. One team will be punished for making a mistake, and two teams will be punished for making a mistake. The two general flags made mistakes and hundreds of households were beaten.
Pei Cheng said and handed over a drill book. This was agreed upon by Xu Qin and them, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general banners, and every detail was stipulated.
It is integrated into the style of the Ming Dynasty, but the beating of people is not taught by Xu Qin, they have done it before.
Xu Qin also felt that it was too inhuman, and as a result, no one listened to him in this matter. Because the beating really works.
For the first time, Xu Qin gathered the people above the general banner, and the first order was to 'turn left', and as a result, the whole team was in chaos.
There are all kinds of turns, to the left, like the right, and there are those who turn in a circle. There was even one who tripped himself upright.
Xu Qin realized at this time that most of these people couldn't tell the difference between left and right.
"Raise your left hand," Xu Qin gave the order after waiting for them to stand up.
Sure enough, as he thought, many people are not separated from each other at all. Even hesitated to look left and right.
At that time, the three thousand households were a little confused, what was Lord Xu going to do? But the performance of these men really annoyed him.
Xu Qin was not annoyed, he gave each of these people a stone in his left hand and a rope tied to his left foot.
Then demonstrate a standard left-right turn and backward turn, and then start training, shouting slogans over and over again.
But just an hour later, there was still something wrong. There is no consciousness of left and right at all, there is always face to face.
He still has patience, and the three thousand households are gone.
Although they had only been training for a while, they had already seen how wonderful this exercise really was.
"Lord Xu will take a break." Yao Dahu laughed fiercely, took out his horsewhip and rushed into the team, pulling out the wrong ones was a whip.
Specifically pumping the left shoulder and left leg. Xu Qin was startled, you are too cruel. I was about to go up and stop it.
As a result, it was blocked by two other thousand households.
"My lord, these cowards, if they don't fight, they don't have a long memory at all." Pei Cheng said.
It turned out to be as he said, and it was much better after the beating.
Then Xu Qin began to train them systematically, teaching them one by one, and finally he was so angry that he picked up the whip and pumped, without him, it was too fucking stupid.
He finally found a hysterical feeling of parents accompanying their son to wash his homework.
"Master Xu, I'll let me come somewhere." At this time, Yao Dahu was always the first to rush up.
After teaching for a whole day, Xu Qin didn't let them go in the evening, and they all gathered together to discuss the training content of the day, improve it, and then conduct the itinerary.
Xu Ho sat on the side and was in charge of tidying up.
In the past, the managers themselves decided where to ask the opinions of these small soldiers. So I didn't dare to say it at first.
It wasn't until Xu Qin sent the three thousand households away that the people below began to speak. With his encouragement, the more he talked.
Only when people are personally involved in the decision will they actively implement the decision. Soon these people were involved in the transfer of the south and the north.
Xu Qin's code of conduct gradually took shape.
Pei Cheng explained the events of the past ten days to Zheng He little by little. Zheng He listened while flipping through the drill code.
"How do you feel?" Zheng He asked after putting away the drill code.
"Good, very good. The more he practiced, the more the lower officials felt that it was wonderful, and the old man of Zhongshan King was really a fairy-like figure. ”
Pei Cheng said. He discussed with the other two thousand households, this code of conduct is so perfect, it is definitely not something that Xu Qin, a little gentleman, came up with.
He doesn't look like a soldier at all, so it should be left by King Zhongshan, but he doesn't remember it completely, so he sorts it out while practicing.
Zheng He smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He saw that Pei Cheng's sentry had already begun to practice with wooden sticks.
"Why are you still carrying a stick and not a weapon?" Zheng He asked.
"Master Xu said, there is a serious shortage of firecrackers now, and I don't know how many can be made. Drill with a stick first, and then wait until the fire is ready. Pei Cheng said.
Zheng He always felt very strange when he watched these soldiers practice with wooden sticks in unison. It's even a little ridiculous.
"What's the deal with that eating meat? Is the old stone still short of meat to eat, and he is in a hurry to become like that? Zheng He couldn't help but laugh when he remembered that the old stone, who had always been steady, was so anxious.
"My lord doesn't know what kind of last elimination method Lord Xu has adopted. Kill two pigs and three sheep every day.
Those who have completed the training will eat meat with good results. I can't stop watching others eat meat. I've seen enough of the old stone whistle today. ”
Pei Cheng gloated. It's a good feeling to stand on the shore and watch others fall into the water.
Zheng He also smiled and shook his head, this kid has too many bad words. The most feared thing in the army is different.
Even most of the commanders, no matter how rich and noble, basically ate and slept with the big soldiers as long as they arrived at the barracks.
The so-called military well will not be thirsty if it is not dug up, and it will not be hungry if the military stove is not established. This has been the case with famous generals throughout the ages. But he did the opposite.
The key is that the choice lies with the soldiers themselves, and if you don't fight for meat yourself, you can't blame others.
What's more important is the embarrassment, which is the most unbearable. They are all soldiers, who are not competitive and competitive. No wonder the old stone couldn't sit still.
Zheng He glanced back at the soldiers who were using wooden sticks to imitate the drill of firearms, and still felt ridiculous.
But the soldiers, accustomed to the whip and rules, were still meticulous.
Zheng He thought it was funny, and after Liu Sheng listened to the report of his subordinates, he felt incredible.
The first two days of practice in the queue was just that, why do you still use a wooden stick to compare and draw like a fool?
Originally, Xu Qin would report to him every time he formed a drill code, and at first he looked at it carefully.
But after more than ten days, it was found that the gang was practicing walking, and now they are even practicing wooden sticks.
He directly wiped the sheep fat on his hands with the drill code sent by Xu Qin, and finally left some directly for the soldiers to wipe their buttocks.
"Zheng He is crazy, I'm not crazy." Liu Sheng said disdainfully.
He paid more attention to what happened to those firecrackers, but unfortunately, according to His Majesty's will, most of them first ensured that Zheng He's team would be taken away.
This made Liu Sheng very unconvinced, why. Is there anything worth fighting in the West?
These firearms were to be rationed to the Divine Machine Battalion to deal with the Tatars in the north.
Liu Sheng was pondering, and his subordinates informed Lord Zheng He of his visit.
Although he slandered Zheng He behind his back, Liu Sheng still respected this person very much. After all, if it weren't for the eunuchs, Zheng He would have been made a marquis a long time ago.
Moreover, this person is His Majesty's absolute confidant, and he cannot be offended.
So Liu Sheng deliberately went out of the gate to greet him. A sumptuous lunch was arranged at noon, and two drinks were held with Zheng He.
Although he was in the barracks, he was not marching outside after all, and no one would say anything after two sips of wine.
After three rounds of drinking, Zheng He spoke.
"Uncle Liu, have you read the little grandfather's drill code? There is really something, you said that it was left by the King of Zhongshan, or he pondered it himself. ”
Zheng He put down his glass and discussed the topic with Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng was stunned, what he said was a little strange.
"Lord Zheng, I think it may have been left by the King of Zhongshan, but I'm afraid he hasn't learned the essence, so you should use it with caution."
Liu Sheng said meaningfully.
Zheng He smiled and nodded.
"It may not be able to be used, after all, a small Western country, seeing my big tomorrow, will serve before fighting." Zheng He said with a smile.
The one who should be reminded has been reminded, and if you don't believe it, there is no way.
How could Liu Sheng not hear that Zheng He was kindly reminding him to pay attention to Xu Qin's discipline.
It's a pity that he didn't believe that he could get any results from practicing with a wooden stick at all, and Zheng He was probably crazy. How can such a thing be believed?
So he also gave Zheng He a kind reminder.
Everything is in plain sight, they are all old fritters in officialdom, and the topic is immediately staggered when it arrives. Talked about some interesting things in the Battle of Jingjing.
Coming out of Liu Sheng, Zheng He went directly to Xu Qin. At this time, the little grandfather is a real busy man.
I run on both sides of the school yard and the casting ground. All sorts of problems are coming. Although he couldn't understand everything, Wang Timur felt that there was no problem that he couldn't solve when he was by his side.
Now Xu Qin has moved the entire military war bureau here, and even brought a lot of people from the Ministry of Industry. Precious piles of steel are everywhere.
Several blast furnaces have been built, and the method of frying steel has been almost explored, and even high-carbon steel can be made.
The craftsmen have already gathered seven or eight hundred, and that's not counting their apprentices. The water conservancy lathe could not use water conservancy, but fortunately, three cows were used instead. I'm going to use it for the time being.
Every day is a mess, but a lot of things are moving in an orderly manner.
