Chapter 456: Recruit Battalion(2/2)
The reason why we call the four people in front of us this way is because these husbands are considered to be the leaders of the new military camp.
Don't look at the instructors of Hou San and others. They trained them like grandsons during the day, but at night they were trained like grandsons by these four chief instructors.
However, these chief instructors have a very good attitude towards these little soldiers.
Hou San clearly remembered that Fengche Xianggong, a dignified right minister of the Ministry of War, a dignified third-rank official of the imperial court, secretly covered himself with a quilt when he was patrolling in the middle of the night a few days ago.
It is precisely the above that makes all the recruits admire these husbands very much, and even the daily title has been changed to the more familiar title of "chief instructor".
"Good morning. I haven't been home for a few days. Please go back early. Remember to come back on time tomorrow morning."
While the above four people were returning the gift, one of them, Chief Instructor Dayu, said something very pleasant.
Then looking at the new recruits in front of me, even after leaving the camp and walking without supervision, they spontaneously formed into groups of two and three in a row.
Suddenly, they all felt a little relieved.
Because the four of them basically have experience in serving in the PLA, the work of training new recruits falls on their shoulders.
It has to be said that even if they are PLA veterans, they are still under great pressure to train 50,000 people at once.
The only thing we could do was to first select some old soldiers from the Forbidden Army who were barely usable, and train them hard the night before.
During the day the next day, these rookie instructors were asked to train more rookie recruits.
They were unsure whether such an approach would work.
In fact, these days, the instructors such as Hou San and others were often scolded, greeted with military sticks and big soles of their feet. In fact, it basically happened to the four of them.
For these guys who can't even tell the difference between left and right at first and can only tell the difference by rolling up one trouser leg, the learning efficiency is really too low if they don't take action.
Fortunately, after spending half a month, the specific effect seems to be quite good.
These rookies have somewhat of a military look to them.
Just after thinking of something, Chen Tang, a boring gourd, suddenly asked with a very worried expression:
"Based on our training syllabus, Lao Hei is almost done with the queue training.
The next time will soon involve the use of muskets and other related tactics. Can Lang Qing's muskets be in place in time?"
After hearing such a sentence, Lao Hei also had a sad look on his face.
Because they know very well that the Jin people will not give them too long to prepare.
At most, it will not be until September, after this year's grain harvest, when the autumn air is crisp and the people and horses are fat, that the Jin army will continue to move southward.
Therefore, the time left for them to train and form an army is only six months.
According to their initial army reorganization plan, all new recruits would first undergo a three-month training camp, and then be reorganized and run-in for three months.
After that, he will have a deadly fight with Jin Bing.
Therefore, their time every day is very precious now, and every training and running-in step planned in advance cannot be disrupted.
Otherwise, if you make a mistake, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the new army.
But they also knew that in such a short period of time, with the manpower and material resources at hand, they would have to complete at least 30,000 muskets, as well as other weapons and armor.
What a huge pressure it will be for the Ministry of Industry, which is in charge of Lang Qing, Lao Tie, Wu Zu and others.
"I heard that the prototype gun has been completed. Let's go and take a look at it later. They have to produce one or two thousand of them first so that the recruits can take turns using them."
Finally, Lao Hei said such a helpless sentence...
Thanks to adequate food and good training in half a month, his body has become stronger and stronger now.
It was a distance of fifteen miles from the new barracks to Kaifeng City. Hou San walked back easily and in a fit of anger. When he walked into the city gate, there were only a few beads of sweat on his forehead.
The problem is, after he walked into the city gate.
Looking at the extremely familiar houses and streets in front of him, Hou San suddenly felt a little strange.
The houses are still the same houses and the streets are still the same streets, but after taking a quick look at them, there is always an indescribable feeling.
Immediately, I couldn't help but muttered something in my mouth:
"Huh? This is Kaifeng City. I have lived here for more than twenty years since I was a child. How come I haven't been back for only half a month? Why do I feel so unrecognizable?"
After a while, Hou Sancai slapped his forehead and realized that Kaifeng City had become surprisingly clean.
In the past, in Kaifeng City, there were places called "garbage rooms" at street corners and city gates, where people could dump their household garbage in and then transport it out of the city by special horse-drawn carriages.
For example, the waiters will clean the streets in front of some shops from time to time.
But there will always be some garbage abandoned by people on the street, even the feces of large animals.
As a result, now, after taking a quick look, none of these familiar things are gone, which is very clean.
However, because he was eager to go home, Hou San was too lazy to care about it for a while. After hurriedly apologizing to his colleagues, he walked quickly towards Qingyi Lane where he was.
I walked, walked, because my throat felt a little itchy.
Immediately, with the sound of "TUI~", a mouthful of phlegm was spit out a long distance.
Then before he could take two steps, an unusually high-pitched voice sounded from behind him: "That man, stop for me now~"
When I looked back, I saw an old woman with white hair.
She was wearing a starched white underskirt and a red cloth circlet on her right arm, and she was walking towards her at a fast pace.
Before Hou San could speak, the old woman shouted a series of words:
"According to the latest regulations of Kaifeng Prefecture, in order to maintain street hygiene, no one is allowed to spit or defecate at will. If you violate the rules, you will be fined one cent for the first time and two cents for the second time.
The third time he was not punished, he was taken directly to the Kaifeng Mansion and imprisoned for three days. He even had a meal delivered to him from home.
When I see the way you are dressed, I think you are a new soldier who just returned to the city after the military holiday today. It should be considered your first offense. Please pay a penny immediately."
After saying that, he held a wooden whistle in his hand, as if Hou San would blow the whistle to call someone if he didn't obey.
Instinctively, I glanced around and found that the pedestrians around me were all familiar. It was probably not the old woman trying to extort money.
Hou San smiled bitterly and took out a penny from his pocket. When he handed it over, he asked curiously: "Auntie, are you a public servant of Kaifeng Mansion?"
Xu San's appearance of paying the money happily and his status as a new soldier made the old woman have a good impression.
After putting down the whistle, taking a penny, and handing over a small piece of paper with a red seal, he answered happily:
"I don't have that kind of blessing. It's just that Her Majesty the Queen and Grandpa Hu were kind, seeing that I and other helpless old women have no means of making a living.
While letting me and others clean the streets, if I see someone spitting or urinating at will, I will stop them and fine them. I will receive a monthly subsidy of money and food, so that they will not starve to death~"
While saying this, Hou San could clearly see the good energy on the old woman's face, which could be said to be something he had never seen before.
For a time, the strangeness brought to him by the current Kaifeng City was even stronger; but such a change full of vitality seemed to be quite good...
