Chapter 45: Elite Soldiers and Strong Soldiers (II)
In the early morning of the next day, the warm breeze was warm, the clouds were warm, and there were two large cauldrons in the middle of the barracks.
There was a table on the side of the school field.Da Kui brocade robe 'jade' leaned on the Taishi's chair.Tasting fragrant tea, but a little excited.Behind them stood Wu Ya and Master Feng.All three of them were waiting for the returning soldiers.
Da Kui was very dissatisfied.One day and one night were twelve hours.None of the soldiers had come back at this point.Could it be that they had crawled back so slowly?
Da Kui looked at the sky and turned his head to ask Wu Ya behind him: "Wouldn't they all deserted?" Da Kui's question is pure ridicule.These soldiers all have military status.And they are all 'elite' soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.In today's Ming army, if there is a person who escapes without permission, it will be beheaded.
Wu Ya bowed and replied: "My lord, my subordinates have sent a total of 846 notes.
Da Kui laughed and said, "I'm kidding you.How can I take it seriously.hehehe." When Wu Ya heard Da Kui say this, he could only laugh with him.
Wu Ya was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer. Da Kui couldn't help but reach out and slap the table: "Don't you go along the road to see, what's going on, why hasn't anyone come back."
"Yes, yes~." Wu Ya reacted at this time.Immediately set off out of the barracks.When he went out of the 'door', Wu Ya happened to see Liu Zongju walking towards the barracks with several subordinates.
When Wu Ya and Liu Zongju passed by, he whispered: "Lord Zhang has a big temper today, so be careful." Liu Zongju didn't say anything, but nodded, and then led a group of people into the barracks.
Liu Zongju entered the school field and instructed his subordinates to put things near the left side of the cauldron. These subordinates each carried two bamboo baskets, which were covered with cloth curtains. After listening to Liu Zongju's instructions, they did as he said.
Liu Zongju came to Da Kui, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, presented them to Da Kui, and said, "Lord Zhang instructed his subordinates to prepare the military regulations.
Da Kui nodded and said: "Later, you will read it to the soldiers, I will not read it. Da Kui's tone was soothing and his words were flattering. Liu Zongju couldn't help but be fluttering when he heard this.
The first soldier to come back was called Ma Wu, who was originally recruited by the local people, and was quite satisfied with Ma Wu and Da Kui.
The soldiers who came back one after another can be said to be strong and strong, although they entered the courtyard and immediately staggered to the ground, but Da Kui was still quite satisfied. Ordinary people can run nearly 200 miles day and night.
Da Kui saw these soldiers who fell to the ground, and couldn't help but think of the years when he was young on Tiantai Mountain.In the past five years, he ran wildly with his weight every day, and went into the mountains to collect 'medicine'....... as if these things had happened yesterday.
After nearly half an hour, there were more than 200 soldiers who came back. Da Kui said to Master Feng behind him: "Count the number of people. Master Feng gave up his orders and immediately counted the soldiers in the courtyard one by one.
It wasn't until there were 300 soldiers in the courtyard that Da Kui stood up and looked at the soldiers lying on the ground. Da Kui smiled and said, "Stand up for me, line up." Although the voice was not loud, it was not angry and arrogant, and the soldiers in the courtyard all supported each other to stand up.
"Congratulations, everyone, you have finally become the family of the Zhang Mansion with your own efforts." Da Kui smiled, and all the soldiers couldn't help but have a smile on their faces.
Didn't you say that you were a 'squire' guard?
Da Kui looked at the wrong jaws on everyone's faces.
Originally, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang made a clear statement to the state capitals and counties of the ya'men', local officials were not allowed to 'privately' recruit troops and raise soldiers, and the entourage of the first to third rank officials also had a clear standard. Da Kui used to be the crown prince Taibao (second grade) and Jiangnan Tong political envoy (third grade).
No more than 200 officials of the first rank shall be accompanied by themselves, and no more than 300 servants shall be servants, otherwise it will be overstepping, and it is a felony to kill the head.
I heard that Emperor Taizu had just promulgated the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and a five-rank official who went to Beijing to report on his work sat in a sedan chair on the street.
To deal with the thieves, you need soldiers and horses.Da Kui doesn't want to borrow troops from the state capital.Because Da Kui found that Emperor Taizu has been fond of killing since he ascended the throne.It seems that he likes to kill in his spleen.Tens of thousands of people have been beheaded.I believe that if Da Kui makes a mistake, his head will not be too reliable.Everything follows the trend.Mingzhe protects himself is the way to be an official.
These soldiers will be turned into the family guards in the palace, so that a lot of trouble can be avoided. Previously, Da Kui had already prepared to submit a letter to Beijing, and the change of the identity of these soldiers was truthfully played.
After Da Kui finished talking about the stakes, Liu Zongju read out the regulations of the system.
There are dozens of rules sprinkled around.Because there are too many names.It is impossible for the soldiers to remember them all.But the previous ten can still be remembered.Because these ten rules are violated and beheaded.Who dares not to remember.But fortunately.These ten rules are basically the same as the regulations in the army.That is:Those who wantonly disturb the people.Behead.Those who can't give orders.Behead.Those who destroy weapons.Behead.Instigating troublemakers.Behead.Drinkers on duty.Behead.' Rape'
Although everyone was tired and hungry, they listened to the rules of the barracks very seriously. Liu Zongju had finished reading it, and Da Kui said: "Everyone is tired, and this official has prepared wine, meat, and steamed buns for everyone.
All the soldiers on the school field immediately relaxed, they all went to the pot stove to get dishes and chopsticks, and they waited in a long line in turn without command. Wu Ya took the rice spoon and acted as the fire leader. Each person received a spoonful of 'meat', two spoonfuls of soup, and two steamed buns. These soldiers each received a meal.
Da Kui smiled and said to the five hundred soldiers who were already waiting outside the 'gate': "You guys also come in and eat. After eating, you will have one or two taels of silver per person, and go to Suzhou Wang to record your name. The words fell.' There was a sad cavity outside the door.
"My lord, we don't want to go." Leave us, sir." .......
Da Kui said helplessly: "The court has a law, and the official is also powerless. After that, Da Kui arched his hand and went out of the barracks alone and returned to Zhang's mansion.......
Da Kui's plan is to spend three months to pay close attention to the basic skills of these soldiers, and then teach martial arts equipment. Wu Ya's martial arts Da Kui has never seen it, but he urges the soldiers to practice.
The so-called basic skills are: running 30 miles in the morning and evening, basic footwork, basic boxing, horse stepping and pushing bricks, climbing with bare hands....... if it is said that it is hard, it is slightly more difficult than the army, but these soldiers are all battle-hardened 'elite' soldiers.
The bones and muscles of adults have been formed, but it takes a lot of trouble to be like a child. In this regard, Da Kui came up with a method of training Yang Xiaohu. Drink a little alcohol before each run.
In order to make these soldiers physically strong, Da Kui spent some silver taels. As the saying goes: If you want these soldiers to have physical strength, you must pay more attention to your diet, eat 'meat' every three days, and make white flour steamed buns every day.
Liu Zongju was in charge of the civilian duties of the barracks, and Wu Ya was in charge of the military duties.
Zhang Changfeng is so cute.Da Kui goes home to see his son when he has a little leisure.Huang Ying makes fun of Da Kui for being a big child.Da Kui is always laughing and coping.
Two months later, the five people returned to Zhangfu one after another, including dogs, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches.
Whenever troops are sent to encircle and suppress them, these bandits will flee early; once the officers and soldiers are withdrawn, they will come back again. All kinds of evil deeds are really hateful. Da Kui is not in a hurry or impatient. As the saying goes: If you are in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu, sharpen your knife and don't chop wood by mistake. When the 300 'fine' soldiers under your command are trained, then Da Kui will move with his camera.
It was a coincidence that the five of them, such as dogs, stones, brooms, dustpans, and benches, came back, and Da Kui immediately sent them to the barracks for training.
On this day, Da Kui was chatting with Master Feng in the front hall.' The man from the door's room reported: "My lord, there is a man who sells fish and says he is looking for you."
Master Feng smiled and said: "This fish seller used to come here often, it was the Tiegada recommended by Meng Ge. This person also attaches great importance to love and righteousness.
Da Kui thought for a long time before he remembered this Tiegada, and then ordered, "Please let him in.".
