Chapter 11: Training (1)
October 15th, Jishui County
October refers to the calendar. If it is the solar calendar in later generations, it is the end of November and winter has completely arrived.
When the group came, first of all, there were several knights in front, and behind were dozens of ox carts, and on the left were dozens of young men. On the ox carts, there were clothes, farm tools, and even several civil servants.
The group was very loud. When they arrived at the gate of the county town, He Wulang and Zhang Yi were greeted.
"The team leader Zhang Yi, the team leader He Wulang." Wang Shoutian introduced: "This is my senior brother, Mr. Xue Yuan and Xue from my private school. Today I will invite you to manage the internal affairs before and serve as an official. You should not neglect it."
Zhang Yi and He Wulang looked at each other for a moment and saluted together: "Mr. Xue!"
Xue Yuan didn't dare to be arrogant, and immediately returned the favor: "I dare not!"
After several days of cultivation, Xue Yuan's complexion improved a lot. He even gritted his teeth and brought all his family, right in the ox cart behind him.
"Everyone doesn't have to be too polite, go in and have a look!" Wang Shoutian said.
Everyone responded to their orders and entered the county town.
I didn't see it for a while, but I saw that the city was demolished empty. There were piles of wood and stone piles on some sites. In the distance, thick smoke was rolling in the earth kiln, and there were bricks continuing to be transported over from time to time.
The plan is really simple, with the street as the line, and the two sides are exactly the same houses, both of which are made of acres of bricks, with six households in each group, but they are all organized in one group, including twelve households.
Wuhuo is one area on the two sides of the road, each yard has two areas, symmetrical, with 1260 households.
There are now five yards and the military camp has been built, which is more than enough to accommodate 500 people.
The yamen in the middle has been built and covers a lot of land.
After watching these, Zhang Yi and He Wulang couldn't help but be proud. Xue Yuan was also very surprised and said, "Sir, this governing the people is like governing the army, and it is very rigorous. I admire him."
"This house has only been built for one-third of it, and it is not worth boasting." Wang Shoutian said disapprovingly.
"The houses have been built and the fields have been stationed. I can only say that they are in the first place. There are two things below: the first is training troops, and the second is building walls. Sichuan is based in Taisu County, which is also considered a large county. Although Sichuan has suffered huge losses this time, even the main general was beheaded by us, we must be careful."
"Only when the city wall is built and the soldiers are trained can we feel relieved."
"Zhang Yi, He Wulang!"
"Tagged below!"
"If you wait, you don't have to manage civil affairs. Starting tomorrow, prepare to train soldiers and strictly enforce military discipline."
"promise!"
"Mr. Xue!"
"The emperor is here!" Xue Yuan responded quickly.
"You will take over these more than 500 households today and focus on dealing with the matter of this city wall. I hope you can complete it before spring comes!"
"When spring comes, the earth thaws, and we have to dig rivers and open canals to irrigate these three thousand acres of land. All this will be completed."
"Don't worry, sir, I just looked at it. The foundation of this city wall is still there, and more than half of the city wall is still there. Repairing the city wall is much more labor-saving than rebuilding. There must be no shortage of loess and river sand. But this glutinous rice, please give me some advice."
"...glutinous rice?" Wang Shoutian seemed to have heard that building a city wall requires this item, but the specific one is not very clear.
"Sir, this city requires bricks, loess, river sand, lime and other things. These are all there, but after the city wall, the cost is that a large amount of glutinous rice is boiled into juice and built!"
Just explanation alone made Wang Shoutian's face turn blue. It turned out that glutinous rice paste must be used as the adhesive inside. Only in this way can the city wall be built in such a long and solid.
To a slightly higher grade, you need to add tung oil, and even use brown sugar, egg white, and red beans.
After hearing Xue Yuan's words, Wang Shoutian shook his head repeatedly. Although the county town is not big, if he wants to use glutinous rice, he would probably only be one-third of the three thousand taels of silver in his hand. How can this be done?
Just thinking about it, he said, "This method is very easy, you can use gypsum."
“…Please make a statement.”
Gypsum has existed since ancient times, and it is called gypsum or cold water stone.
However, in ancient times, it was mostly used as a drug, "relieving muscles and clearing heat, eliminating thirst, clearing heat and detoxifying". It is mainly used to treat fever, strengthening heat and not relieving heat, restlessness and confusion, delirium and madness, thirst and dry throat, rapid lung heat, spontaneous sweating, gastric fire headache, toothache, excessive heat and toxins, spots and rashes, and sores in the mouth and tongue.
This is not rare, it is everywhere.
"...You can grind the slag, broken bricks, stone rocks, lime kiln slags, etc. with a stone grinder and mix a small amount of lime and gypsum powder to make it into mud, which is not less than glutinous rice juice."
"The key to this method is gypsum, you can try it with a variety of materials."
Wang Shoutian did not understand the method of cement, but he also knew that the key difference between ancient materials and modern materials was just adding gypsum. There are many specific methods.
"...I wonder where this method is achieved by sir?" Xue Yuan whispered again: "If it is true, it must not be disclosed. This is a difficult and difficult method."
Wang Shoutian couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous and frightened. Indeed, one of the conditions for restricting the construction of a city in ancient times was that it required a lot of glutinous rice juice. If it was replaced by cheap local cement, it would greatly change the ancient pattern. He was shocked and said, "This is a heavenly gift and cannot be disclosed."
Zhang Yi and He Wulang's faces changed and he hurriedly said, "I dare not disclose them."
Since this most important problem has been solved, Wang Shoutian proposed to build drainage ditches and sewers between neighbors.
Xue Yuan didn't care about this and said, "This is very easy, it only takes some time to work hard!"
"If this method is effective, how long does it take to complete the city?"
"Sir, this is not a new construction, it is just a repair. Five hundred households only take one month." Xue Yuan was not a specialist in studying. He was from a poor family and worked in the village. He did a lot of work, but he was familiar with these things and was confident at this time.
After inspecting the county town, people's representatives gathered in the square and announced the appointment.
"Kowtow to Official Xue!" At this time, thousands of people kowtowed and accepted their superiors.
When he kowtowed, Xue Yuan felt dizzy and was excited.
And everyone understands this and can't help but laugh.
Wang Shoutian said again: "This time, I brought some seeds, farm tools, cotton coats, and county grain warehouses. You can take over them."
"The official knows, please don't worry."
The internal affairs were completed, Xue Yuan stayed and the group arrived at the military camp again.
The military camp has been built, and four camps have been built according to the instructions, which are the organization of four teams.
"He Wulang, is your team of fifty people already full?" Wang Shoutian asked.
"Sir, the mates are already full, and the men join the army enthusiastically, and there are still many unwillingness to give up!"
"Zhang Yi, if you lead the original team, you may be dissatisfied with it, you can add it. I think there are many of the five hundred households that can be soldiered." Wang Shoutian said.
"No!" Zhang Yi responded, this matter was very easy for him.
"I brought 60 soldiers in the countryside this time and recruited some locally, and then I could form the fourth team and the second battalion. Although winter is hard now, there is nothing wrong. I can train troops in large quantities. I will stay in the army and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers." Wang Shoutian said.
Training recruits is the key, and recruits are the most likely to be brainwashed. Anyone appointing others to train recruits will be a wedding dress. In the history of the earth, the Qing Dynasty trained recruits and became Yuan Shikai's private soldiers, while Sun trained recruits and almost became Jiang's private soldiers.
At the beginning of this military training, it was vulgar that whoever ejaculated the sperm, and only by doing everything himself could determine who the army's "bloodline" is!
Therefore, before, Wang Shoutian would rather not practice than entrust someone to practice. Now that the conditions are ripe, he can focus on foreign affairs and train troops himself.
"No!" Both of them had nothing to say and responded.
At this time, sixty young men gathered together, and they didn't know that they would suffer in the future. Everyone was excited. Although the temporary sergeant was still in a state of scattered chaos.
Soldiers who have not been strictly trained are just mobs, which are the same in ancient times and in modern times.
In ancient times, it was not without strict queues and strict military rules, and they have always attached great importance to it. However, in ancient times, they did not promote to the theoretical level and did not regard "shouldering" as a training course!
Moreover, many of these teenagers have poor families and are in a bit of a loss in their bodies. They work hard from the beginning, for fear of being counterproductive.
However, the key to training is still food. It is just food. Since you get a lot of military rations, it is more than enough, but meat is a big problem.
Without meat, you can't train elite soldiers. This is theorem, at least before you evolve to pull the trigger.
Thinking of this, Wang Shoutian felt that he was negligent.
He said to his personal soldiers again: "You go and tell Mr. Xue that we want to raise pigs, even if we consume more food, we have to raise pigs. Now it is too late, so we can buy them specifically. In addition, we can catch fish in the river and hunt in the mountains. In short, we have to collect a certain amount of meat every day to supply the military camp."
After saying this, several old camps were summoned: "You will be patrolling the camp soldiers in the future. If someone is unable to train in the future, they will escape halfway, and kill them."
When he said this, a murderous aura filled his mouth.
Since he went to the city this time, Wang Shoutian felt that he was in danger of protection and did not know how much power he had to look at Dandan. In this case, only the military power he personally controlled gave him a sense of peace of mind.
Many vassal states promoted the brave fang soldiers as their confidants, but Wang Shoutian was not going to do this. First, the material of fang soldiers was too rare. Among the 100 people, only a few of them were selected.
The second is that the warriors are unruly. Although they are still brave in combat, their military discipline is not strict and they are always offensive and should not be followed.
Then you can only follow a standardized training path. Such soldiers are actually far from defeating the fangs, but the price is cheap and assembly line.
If a hundred people fight, the fang soldiers can easily win it. If a thousand people fight, the fang soldiers will be difficult to win it. If ten thousand people fight, this system will win.
Wang Shoutian can be kind in many ways, but he is not prepared to be kind in this way. Any deserter can only kill one word.
After getting on the boat, still want to get off?
