Chapter 42: Longchong Night does not accept
There is an active sentinel team at the border of the Ming Dynasty. Their profession is similar to that of later generations of scouts, and they are responsible for special operations missions. Their name is "Ye Bu Shu", which means "they can go deep into the prison camp to detect the truth."
By.
They are elite scouts who have received professional training and can go deep into enemy territory or enemy camps to find out the truth. They specialize in special operations.
On the east side of the main camp outside Yongwei Camp, a place facing the water in front of the mountain is the best training ground in Yongwei Camp.
There are only ten tents in the training ground, surrounded by tall walls. There are a large number of brave guards guarding the outside, and no one is allowed to approach.
At the first quarter of the morning (three o'clock in the morning), the sky was still dark, and suddenly a sharp whistle sounded in the air on the training ground.
Everyone in the camp was awakened from their sleep, and then there was a burst of chaotic footsteps and the sound of various armors clashing.
After about five minutes, the soldiers from the ten camps gathered in the center of the training ground. Under the light of a large number of torches, the formation was quite neatly organized. However, there were still some soldiers who were still wearing armor and running towards the training ground.
The scene looked miserable.
When everyone gathered together and stared at the instructor seriously, they discovered that the Crown Prince had also appeared here. Everyone immediately became head-high and energetic.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the few soldiers who were dragging themselves into the team, and asked with a cold face: "How long have you been training for? How come there are still such soldiers in the Ye Bu Shu Group?"
Zhu Cixiang selected some soldiers with strong equestrian and individual combat abilities from the Yongwei Camp to form the Night Guard Brigade, and provided them with daily training at the best training camp in the Yongwei Camp.
Xu Sheng followed Zhu Cixiang for more than two years and was the first to actually train according to the "Special Training Outline" compiled by him, so he was appointed by Zhu Cixiang as the captain of the Yebushou Brigade.
Before returning to the palace after serving the people, Zhu Cixiang made a special trip to conduct a surprise inspection just to test the training results of the Ye Bu Shu brigade. However, he was a little disappointed.
Xu Sheng's face was equally ugly. He lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, you are humble and incompetent."
Zhu Cixiang continued with a cold face: "How many people are left now?"
Xu Sheng replied: "Back to Your Highness, after half a month of elimination, there are still 235 people in the Yebu group."
Zhu Cixiang nodded slightly. He selected one out of ten from the Yongwei camp and selected 500 soldiers for special training. They were led by several East Palace Guards detachments who had already undergone special training. They were eliminated every day, and half of them were
It's normal to eliminate half of it every month.
"We will eliminate them strictly in accordance with the regulations. We will not accept the entire team at night, only the elite!"
Zhu Cixiang's majestic eyes slowly swept across the faces of the people in the field who stayed up all night, and said solemnly: "As the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, your mission is to go deep into the enemy's vicinity to detect the enemy's situation, no matter it is day or night, even in
Stay vigilant in your sleep and be ready to fight at any time! Emergency gathering at night is training your quick reaction ability and vigilance at night. I hope you can overcome all difficulties, train hard, and become the most elite warriors of the Ming Dynasty!"
As a leader, he had finished speaking to encourage the team. Zhu Cixiang decided to speak more truthfully. He continued: "Everyone who has gone through this month-long training and selection and finally officially becomes a member of the Yefushou team will be promoted to one level."
, after joining the team for five years, you can be promoted to another level unconditionally, and military achievements during this period will be counted separately.
In addition, each person will be allocated 100 acres of fertile land, exempt from all taxes for life, and all enemy supplies captured during spying on military intelligence will be distributed freely!"
Such good treatment made everyone's eyes brighten, and they thought that this prince's generous hand was really interesting! Especially the last one, it was so real!
Many of the team members had fought against Jiannu in Liaodong, and some of them had never collected money at night. They knew that Jiannu had the habit of collecting money. Every time they entered the country, the Tatars plundered a lot of property. If they caught one, they would make a small fortune.
Already.
More than 200 people who are not admitted at night are all excited and want to officially become a member of the team and do something great!
Although the salary is good, the training with the team at night is also very hard.
First of all, I have to get up at five o'clock in the morning every day to carry out armed cross-country with a weight of forty kilograms. The distance is ten miles and it is required to be completed within two quarters of an hour.
After finishing the meal, finish the meal within the specified time without making any sound. The reason is: when fighting, eating at the same time as the enemy and being able to fill your stomach in the shortest time will win time and gain more than the enemy.
Chance.
After the meal, rest for half an hour. After the rest, do 100 push-ups within one minute, 150 30-pound stone lock lifts, then a one-kilometer obstacle run, armed swimming, etc. Only wear leather armor for armed swimming, not boards.
A, that is simply sending yourself to death.
At noon, the fire gun was held horizontally, and a brick was hung from the mouth of the gun with a rope. It was exposed to the scorching sun for an hour and was not allowed to move.
Then we had lunch, and after the meal we continued to carry a fifty kilogram weight and cross the road for ten miles.
In the afternoon, I practiced target shooting for half an hour, and then conducted equestrian and reconnaissance training.
Armed cross-country march training with a load of 50 miles and 60 kilograms is held every seven days. During this period, training such as breakout, counter-breakout, enemy reconnaissance, and cliff climbing are conducted, which is equivalent to a comprehensive small assessment.
If you want to become a real night guard, you must also undergo the most professional training. The final requirements of the Yongwei Camp Night Guard Brigade are:
1. He has excellent unarmed combat skills. He must adapt to field battles, street battles, and night battles every night, and he must master the skills of search, escape, and survival in the wild.
Second, be proficient in equestrian skills, and be proficient in the use of various cold weapons and firearms, including various types of blunderbuss, artillery, etc., and all military equipment must be mastered one by one.
3. Long-distance cross-country marches, identifying maps, reconnaissance and drawing terrain maps, marking enemy positions and action routes.
Fourth, master various methods of obtaining intelligence such as lurking, disguise, infiltration, capturing prisoners, interrogating prisoners, etc., as well as contact methods using special passwords.
Zhu Cixiang knew that no matter how well-trained an army is, if it does not have an excellent reconnaissance system, it will be like a strong blind man. Although it is powerful, it has nowhere to exert its strength.
His purpose was to set up a separate intelligence office in the army to complement the intelligence of Li Tingbiao's Jinyiwei. With two pieces of intelligence as a reference, the accuracy of the intelligence would be greater.
Compared with later generations, the soldiers of this era were more tolerant of hardship than later generations. Apart from the lack of nutrition, in terms of hardship and hard work, it was really terrible.
Except for the first two days because they were not used to crying because they were tired, there were surprisingly not many complaints later on. The team members who stayed up all night have gradually adapted to this relatively high-intensity training method.
After leaving the Ye Bu Shu training camp, Zhu Cixi ordered the Yongwei battalion to return to the imperial city station first. He inspected the new city before returning to the palace to reply.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies had the power to command troops but not to deploy them, and the Ministry of War had the power to deploy troops but not to command troops. The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War controlled each other but did not subordinate each other.
The Fifth Army Governor's Office only has jurisdiction over the garrisons stationed in various garrison posts. Although the Ministry of War theoretically has the right to mobilize the capital camp, it still needs the emperor's approval, especially the dispatch of troops inside and outside the capital. The mobilization of the Yongwei camp naturally also goes through
The palace agreed.
Time passed very quickly. After a month of practical training and selection by the Ye Bu Shu brigade, one hundred and twenty people finally became the Ye Bu Shuu of the Yongwei camp.
On the day the team was formed, Zhu Cixiang appeared in person and gave the team the name "Long Xiang Ye Bu Hua".
Longxiang Night Guard is divided into four sentries, each with thirty people, and the sentry officer is Qian Zong. There are three squads under each sentry, each team has ten people, and the captain is the commander. All team members are one level higher than ordinary soldiers.
All captains and sentry officers of Long Xiang Ye Bu Shui are outstanding Ye Bu Shui selected from the selection and assessment, and everything is based on their strength.
Just as Zhu Cixiang was preparing to summon these night-time generals and captains one by one, he suddenly received a summons from the palace. Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to return to the palace immediately and go to the Huangji Palace to discuss matters.
