Chapter 72: Rural soldiers set up camp
Seeing that Chai Lin was back, the gate was wide open, and the low ox horn whistled. Chai Yong led twenty light cavalry out to greet him. The cavalry were lined up on both sides. Chai Yong turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Welcome the troupe training to return to the camp."
Chai Lin smiled and said, "Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a few days. You kid are quite good at making scenes. Not bad, not bad, just seven or eight days to make the military camp look very well."
Chai Yong smiled bitterly and said, "The owner of the manor has returned. There are so many things at home. The military camp of Anza alone is very busy. The carpenter, blacksmith, mason and township soldiers work hard and it took five days to complete the main body. There are still hundreds of meters of horse-rejecting horses that have not been completed yet, and the carpenter is processing it."
"Okay, take me to see."
When Chai Lin got off the horse and entered the camp, the first thing he saw was the gate. There was a horse with wooden wheels at the gate. Usually, only a small door was opened, and the gate was opened when there was something wrong. There were two watchtowers on the left and right gates, made of logs with thick people. They were strong and strong. The platform on the top of the tower was as big as seven or eight square meters. There was a soldier on each of them holding a bow and arrow and watching the enemy situation. If it was wartime, seven or eight archers could be arranged for each tower to fight.
The hard wood fence is very deep in the soil, and rammed earth is also reinforced around it. The fence is three meters and five meters high, so the setting height is still very good.
Chai Lin said: "It's done well, better than I expected. When I was away, I was worried that you wouldn't do it. After all, no one has ever had any experience in joining the army and are all laymen. Now when I see it, I feel relieved."
"This is all designed and arranged according to the plan left by my brother, and everyone worked together," said Chai Yong.
The large tent where the village soldiers lived was a circular dome, with columns made of logs as thick as calves. They were strong and durable and able to resist winter snow. The fireproof distance between the tent was six meters, and the drainage channel was also in place.
The drainage canals in the camp are connected to the canals outside the fence, so you don’t have to worry about the rainy season.
There were 600 new recruits in the camp, and they were constantly practicing every day. In addition to eating and sleeping, they were trained for at least eight hours.
On the playground, every fifty new recruits were practicing ranks, and the veterans were shouting hoarsely.
Chai Yong said: "The most difficult point in training new recruits is to line up. These soldiers are from poor families, they are very physically strong, and there is no problem in running and cross-country. They just get blind as soon as they arrive at the queue, and they can't tell the difference between the left and right. Some of them can't even register and have no culture at all."
Chai Lin was very happy that uneducated soldiers were good at being obedient.
The large tent of the Central Army is made of cowhide and canvas, with a diameter of fifteen meters. The white tiger is painted outside. The white tiger is the main killer, which means the Central Army's white tiger tent. The space inside is very large. In the middle is a handsome case, and the chair behind is covered with tiger skin.
When Chai Lin sat up, he felt very passionate and handsome for only three minutes. Chai Lin smiled and said, "Hahaha, that's really the case. It's great, it's still warm in the tent of the Central Army."
Chai Lin arranged for the guards to call Bian Xiang and Pang Wanchun.
After a while, everyone arrived, and Chai Lin's army sat in, Chai Yong, Pang Wanchun and Bian Xiang were on both sides.
Chai Lin shook his head and said, "There are fewer people, but it's not bad. All the coaches, it's been hard for recruiting new recruits during this period."
Everyone said: "It's hard to train in a group."
Chai Lin took the recruitment record book and carefully checked it. He signed up for 1,253 people, and 800 people were selected for the primary election, and finally 600 people were selected to join the camp.
According to the original publicity, the six hundred people will be eliminated.
Chai Lin asked: "How enthusiastic about training in the recruits?"
Bian Xiang said: "The recruits are very enthusiastic about training, because they said at that time that only 600 people prepared 500 donkeys, which means that 100 people could not get it. Now no one dares to fall behind, and they all strive to be the first."
The first month is called trial training. If you fail the trial training, you must withdraw from the team or become an auxiliary soldier. There are many types of auxiliary soldiers, including fire-headed soldiers, baggage soldiers, craftsman camps, etc.
Chai Lin nodded. It is a good thing to strive for the first place. He must not raise a group of young master soldiers, but he needs a group of tigers and wolves.
"The village soldiers can't tell the difference between the left and right. How do you plan to solve this problem?" As a leader, it is impossible to solve all major and minor matters by yourself. We must give full play to the subjective initiative of our subordinates.
Bian Xiang said: "I heard that in ancient times, famous generals trained soldiers. In order to distinguish the left and right, the soldiers only wore one shoe to divide the left and right."
Chai Lin shook his head and said, "If it's cold today, it's almost the 39th day of the year, and you have to wear gloves. It's obviously inappropriate to wear only one shoe."
Pang Wanchun said: "I suggest that I tie a red cloth strip on my right arm to distinguish it so that I will not cause frostbite."
Chai Lin instructed: "Wan Chun and Bian Xiang, you two have never participated in the basic queue training. Take advantage of this opportunity to practice well. The military rank is the first step, and all the strong troops in the world are clean and tidy."
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not make special things." Bian Xiang said.
Chai Lin asked again: "The 600 new village soldiers have any good talents."
Everyone shook their heads, and Bian Xiang said: "The training has only started for two days. Today is the third day. Currently, only queues and off-road training have been conducted, and no selection has been conducted."
"I feel that there should be dozens of people with archery talent among them. After all, some of them are hunters. After the basic training is completed, you will know after the selection is completed." Pang Wanchun said.
"It seems that I was anxious. I went out for seven days and thought it had been a long time." Chai Lin said with a smile.
Chai Yong said: "There is a kid who has a specialty. Wang Damao from Wangjiagou has a specialty that runs fast and can be far faster than ordinary people. Six hundred people conduct off-road competitions, and he is the first place."
Running fast is also considered a talent. Chai Lin is considering hiring a deputy for Chai Meng again and there is also a helper when conveying emergency military information.
Chai Lin said: "Okay, Bian Xiang and Wan Chun, you two can go to train too."
"yes."
These two people also went to participate in training. As coaches, there is no special thing to do, and hard training is inevitable.
Chai Lin called Chai Yong and went to the training ground to meet Wang Damao.
On the training ground, the instructor shouted heart-wrenchingly: "Rest, stand at attention, turn right."
The team was in a state of chaos, with shoulders touching shoulders and nose touching nose.
"Did you have donkey hair stuffed in your ears? I'm shouting to turn right. Don't you know the right side? It's your hand holding chopsticks when you eat." said the instructor.
"Report to the instructor, I use this hand to hold chopsticks for dinner." A new recruit raised his left hand and said.
The instructor rolled his eyes so much that he couldn't help. Although most people used their right hand to hold chopsticks, some people used their left hand.
Chai Yong came over and said to the instructor: "Arranging someone to go to the logistics office to get a red cloth strip and tie the red cloth with your right arm, which will help distinguish."
"Yes." The instructor arranged a vanguard to get the red cloth strips.
Chai Yong shouted: "Wang Damao comes out."
A medium-sized person with a slim figure walked out. He was about twenty years old and was a little at a loss when he saw someone screaming.
Chai Lin asked: "Your name is Wang Damao."
"Yes, my name is Wang Damao." Wang Damao stood attentively and replied.
"I heard you run very fast, so I'll find a few people to compete with you."
"Okay." Wang Damao said.
