Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 3 Forming a Team
Under the care of Zhao Liehu and a group of villagers for more than ten days, Zhao Yi, who was already in good physical condition, woke up early. After the last incident with the county government, Zhao Yi understood that even if he knew some kung fu, it was good. Iron can drive a few nails, and in Zhao Yi's memory, the Manchu Qing court was about to invade the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Yi made up his mind to train a team that could protect the civil fort.

With the strong support of the fort chief and the cooperation of the villagers, everyone contributed money and force, and soon everyone collected food and some supplies, and recruiting troops was imminent.

Some young adults aged 22 to [-] who have been notified have gathered early in the pasture of the Tumubao. In a city of ten rooms, there must be loyalty. Boys, one by one stood tall on the pasture with their chests upright, the big girls and daughters-in-law of Tumubao were talking about Zhao Yi's heroic deeds, and the eyes of the jealous boys were red, but they Is there such a good skill? These young men are at the age of full-bloodedness, so they are all trying their best to enter the Tumubao regiment to practice, so as to win for their parents and themselves.

After serious consideration these days of being injured, Zhao Yi is looking for such a group of people. Those who are selected should not be fooled around in the market, and those who like flamboyant fists and embroidered legs are not allowed. It can't be used if it looks fair and clean, nor can it be used by people with extreme personalities.

In general, he is well-developed limbs, simple-minded, honest, law-abiding, obedient to discipline, daring to fight and rush without fear of death, a solid young man with the character of a fool.

And those who are admitted must also have: strong body, strong muscles, sharp eyes, honest and simple appearance, easy to be managed.What Zhao Yi needs is a group of fighters who value themselves and are easy to manage. Only the most elite and bravest people can become a member of this powerful team.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Yi stood on the platform on the pasture, and looked at the eyes of the audience staring at him. Zhao Yi was still a little nervous. He cleared his throat and said: "Listen up, everyone. Anyone who decides to join the regiment training will get the salary given by the people. Whether it is safe or sound, or defending the villagers, money will never be paid. I’m missing you, but please remember that the money is saved by the common people. You work hard at home farming. If you join the regiment training, you don’t need to work. There is only one thing: I hope everyone can defend our civil fort from being attacked. Being bullied by others can give everyone a safe living environment. If you can’t even do this, what’s the point of supporting you? Do you still want to live the life of being bullied before? Do you still hope that your parents’ hard work will be robbed of food? ?Do you still hope that your sisters will be arrested and bullied? Although I defeated the group of ****, but the Manchu Tartars will still come to grab our food and occupy our land. Are you really willing to be bullied like this? ? "Said Zhao Yi's excited eyes turned red at the end.

"Defend the family, defend the country, protect the country..." Yes, although Bai Laoqi and his gang of villains have been eradicated, the Tartars are still there, and they don't want to be bullied like prey anymore. Ideological work has completely ignited the enthusiasm of this group of muscular men. This group of young people who used to be silent and oppressed has changed.

Zhao Yi looked at everyone's shouts with satisfaction, because there were too many people who came to sign up, so now Zhao Yi has screened out 56 young men who seem to meet the standards, and promoted them to the team leader on the spot. After explaining it, these ten husbands will be screening.

Although the requirements are very high, the civil fortress is still a place where talents come forth in large numbers. After a day of vigorous recruitment, a team of nearly 300 people was still recruited. If the civil fortress is too small, and the food and wages collected by everyone are not enough to support even more people In other words, Zhao Yi still wants to expand the team to 500 people, but Zhao Yi is still very satisfied with these strong soldiers.

Seeing the disappointment of the boys who were not selected, Zhao Yi had no choice but to reassure that the food and salary would be sufficient in the future, and with the reply of re-election, they left happily one by one.

Because there is no yard that can accommodate so many people in Baozi for the time being, everyone can only temporarily camp on the pasture in Baozi, and then move there after choosing a suitable place to station. dinner.Nothing to say all night.

After one night, while everyone was still asleep, there was a loud sound of gongs, followed by the voice of Zhao Yi, the leader of the training team.

"Get up quickly, so everyone is up for training, and the last ten will not eat lunch today."

As soon as they heard that the last ten didn't have lunch, there was a flurry of tossing around, and those who were wearing clothes were looking for shoes.After a while, the sleepy-eyed recruits gathered on the pasture.

Because the formation of the regiment was too hasty, weapons and the like were only in the small arsenal of the county government, and there were still some weapons that were in disrepair. Some good ones were picked out and handed over to the squad leader, and the rest of the soldiers temporarily used wooden sticks. It's kind of improvised, new weapons can only wait for the master blacksmiths on the fort to make new weapons for everyone.

After watching the assembly, Zhao Yi said: "Listen up, everyone. Since everyone has decided to join the group training, we must take responsibility for the safety of our bunker. Why do we need to train? It is to strengthen everyone's physical strength. After training, we can kill the enemy." Defend your own family, if you don’t practice well, you will be killed by the enemy, and your parents, wives and daughters will be bullied. I will only say this once today. Everyone should do it for themselves. I hope everyone will remember that as soldiers, the most important thing is to The most important thing is to obey the order, everyone is familiar with their respective captains, everyone understands."

"Understood."

Seeing everyone's earnest answers, Zhao Yi nodded in satisfaction: Niu Yong, let me tell you about the rules of civil training.

A muscular young man with a solid face and a simple and honest face saluted Zhao Yi. This young man named Niu Yong is now serving as Zhao Yi's personal soldier. After the salute, Niu Yong walked to the front of the team and said seriously: "Tumubao Regiment training rules:

First: Those who pretend to be sick before the battle will be beheaded!Those who abandon their weapons before the battle will be beheaded!

Second: For those who retreat before the battle, if one person retreats, the other will be beheaded; if the whole team retreats, the captain will be beheaded; if the captain dies and the whole team retreats, the whole team will be beheaded!
Third: Ambush combat, when encountering bandits who can't get up or get up early, the captain will beheaded and each soldier will strike.Those who kill civilians and rape women will be beheaded! "

The military regulations were written like thunder, and the faces of all the soldiers became serious. Niu Yong retreated into the team after reading the military regulations.

Zhao Yi continued: "The military order is like a mountain, I hope everyone strictly abides by the military regulations, let's start the training, the first team is captained by Wang Bao, the second team is captained by Yao Liang, the third team is captained by Yang Tian, ​​and the fourth team is captained by Lin Fan." As the captain, the fifth team is captained by Zhou Wei.

The five captains stood up and stepped out of the team, bowed to Zhao Yi and said in unison: "Design!" "

Zhao Yi took into account the differences in everyone's physical fitness, and the current weapons are equipped with some cold weapons. In order to test physical strength and endurance on the battlefield, Zhao Yi formulated a set of simple and rough training rules: 300 recruits are divided into The five teams, led by their respective captains, practice confrontation training, fighting with each other with bare hands, the winners eat extra meals, and the losers can only go hungry.

There is not much time left for Zhao Yi, and the time when the Tartars attack in his memory is getting closer and closer, so Zhao Yi uses such a ruthless method to train these recruits. This is the reason for sweating more now and less bleeding in the future , Therefore, under this almost inhumane training method, the recruits lived in dire straits and were covered with cuts and bruises every day. However, in this cruel environment, the recruits gradually grew up.

. .

Training during the day, and at night in Zhao Yi's big tent, five captains and Niu Yong gathered together. Zhao Yi told everyone about the fighting methods of the Manchu Tartars in his memory, and then asked: "What if the Tartars attack us?" As for Tumu Fortress, do you think how confident we are in dealing with the Tartars?"

Niu Yong spoke first: "As far as infantry is concerned, I think our regiment training is better, but the Tartars are all riding fast horses, and our side may not be the opponent."

After hearing Niu Yong's answer, several captains and Zhao Yi agreed, and Zhao Yi knocked on the table: "What if we equip our soldiers with bows and arrows and add the walls of our civil fort?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and then the captain Wang Bao asked suspiciously: "Captain, are we going to start a war with the Tartars?"

Seeing that the other people were also puzzled, Zhao Yi went on to say: "The tartars will come sooner or later, we have to take precautions! Starting tomorrow, we will increase the intensity of training. The recent confrontation training has been good. From now on Starting tomorrow, we will add long-distance running with heavy loads, and select some usable bows and arrows from the warehouse of the county government to practice archery. In short, we must train our people into a team capable of close combat and long-distance combat in the shortest possible time. "Zhao After Yi finished speaking, he explained some details to everyone, and everyone took orders to leave.

Four months have passed in a blink of an eye. These days, everyone is training day after day. The master blacksmiths in the fort are not idle either. Spears and bows and arrows made of tendon and rattan. Even the hunters in the castle went up to the mountain to hunt under the leadership of Zhao hunters. The big girls and daughters-in-law were also mobilized to make them for everyone with the animal skins brought by the hunters. Brand new leather armor,.

The current establishment of the civil castle is: 5 teams of soldiers are divided into: 2 teams of broadswords, the remaining 2 teams are divided into spearmen, and the remaining 1 team is organized into archers. Because there are no horses, it is currently impossible to form a cavalry unit. .

The weapons and equipment were brand-new, and the newly embroidered regiment practice fiery red flag fluttered in the wind, which looked extraordinarily majestic.Coupled with many days of training, the team that was loose at the beginning became orderly, and each one became stronger. They walked with their chests up and their heads up, and even their eyes became much brighter. The captain led and stood on the pasture to accept Zhao Yi's inspection.

On the day of the inspection, all the women, children, and children of the civil fort came. The soldiers looked at so many folks present, and they all played up their spirits, showing the results of hard training during this period. The parents of the recruits present watched Now that my baby has become so heroic, they are all happy from the bottom of their hearts. Zhao Liehu and Yaoyao are also looking at Zhao Yi happily from the audience.
