The first project of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army training started with queue training!
Zhu Hongyu first taught Li Guangyuan, Shi Yongxin, Liu Shantai and other company commanders to line up.
Learn to march forward in step, turn left, right and backward, and teach them to line up and move forward according to the chant.
After they have mastered the training, they will teach the officers under their command, and then let the officers teach the soldiers.
Amidst the chants of 121, Zhu Hongyu, the general of the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army, and his five heroes of the Ming Dynasty's restoration, walked in a queue in a dull manner.
As soon as he started training, Zhu Hongyu discovered that most people in this era cannot distinguish between left and right.
Among the five heroes of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Hongyu, only Hu Dinggao could tell the difference.
Zhu Hongyu could only use the stupid method of pinning his trouser legs to let them distinguish between left and right.
But then, the problem of walking in line with the same hands and feet appeared again!
After practicing for half an hour, Zhu Hongyu looked at the five crooked people standing in front of him, feeling a little desperate.
Fortunately, miners have a certain degree of discipline and obedience, and are not afraid of hard work as long as they have enough to eat.
Zhu Hongyu's hard work is not in vain. Although the results are slow, they will always be effective.
After the five of them were almost trained, Zhu Hongyu and the others went to train their own subordinates, and then he began to train the first company directly under him.
Seventy muskets, that is, seventy musketeers, Zhu Hongyu taught them step by step how to load and how to shoot.
Then they were trained to hold the gun, walk forward and backward, and turn left and right while holding the gun.
He just turned around and changed formations without forcing it, because he knew that even if he forced it, the people below him wouldn't be able to do it without enough training.
Even Shi Yongxin's son joined the training after recovering from his illness after drinking allicin.
In the following period, there was no more mining in the mine, but the sound of training chants came one after another.
"One two one!"
"Let's go together!"
"Turn back, turn left!"
"..."
In addition to these training chants, there are also slogans that are constantly ringing.
"Drive out the Tartars, restore China, rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and revive China!"
"Kill Hong Mao, restore the Ming Dynasty, divide the fields, and enjoy peace!"
"..."
Similar slogans sounded one after another.
Although such slogans are relatively vague, if they are shouted enough, no matter how vague the slogan is, it will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As the saying goes, if a lie is repeated ten thousand times, it becomes the truth.
What's more, these slogans put forward by Zhu Hongyu are not lies, they are all what he wants to achieve from his heart.
…
Zhao Erhu believed in these slogans deeply.
He was one of the more than a hundred people who first followed Zhu Hongyu in the uprising. After the entire mine was mobilized and formed the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army.
As an old brother of the rebel army, he naturally became an officer.
He is now the platoon leader of a third platoon!
Because he could use muskets and was a military member of the Ming Dynasty, he was appointed by Zhu Hongyu as the platoon leader, responsible for the training and combat command of thirty musketeers.
Zhao Erhu stood in front of everyone and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"It's leveled, all the muskets are leveled!"
"Stand firm, stand firm, and look straight ahead!"
"Let's go together! One two one! One two one!"
The soldiers under his command followed his orders and advanced with muskets in hand.
After several days of training, although these soldiers are still not able to move in an orderly manner and move forward and retreat in an integrated manner, they are no longer able to make the formation become a mess if they move even slightly.
Although the queue moved crookedly, we could still see the outline of a queue.
"Ouch!"
"Platoon commander, I really can't hold on any longer. Let our brothers rest!"
A dark-faced, strong-looking man rubbed his sore leg and complained incessantly.
Zhao Erhu's expression changed, and he walked over with a whip.
"Li Gou'er, you fucking fart for me again and disturb the morale of the army!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
"Hurry up and train. Look at you. It's been several days. What does this queue look like?!"
"What if we face the red-haired musketeers?"
"If you lose the war, do you still want to go back to work as a miner?"
"Let me tell you, kid, we have killed all the red hair in this mine. We all have a share. If the Red Army soldiers come over and lose, all of us will die!"
Li Gou'er had a scornful expression on his face and said.
"Platoon commander, that's not what I meant!"
"If the red-haired soldiers come over, I will definitely fight the red-haired soldiers to the death."
"The general rescued us from the oppression of the overseers and gave us enough to eat. It will definitely be okay to work hard for the general to get red hair."
Li Gouer's words came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he was tricked by Hongmao into coming to this mine, he had never had a full meal.
The few days he joined the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army were the only days he had enough to eat.
Zhu Hongyu can make him eat well, and he will work hard for Zhu Hongyu without any problem!
"Isn't it too tiring to practice? I really can't stand it anymore."
"Besides, I haven't seen any soldiers win battles by marching in formation!"
Li Gouer said with a playful smile.
Zhao Erhu didn't say any more nonsense, and whipped him with a crack of the whip.
"Where the hell did you come up with all this nonsense!"
"Just do whatever I ask you to do. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you won't eat dinner tonight!"
Li Gou'er was whipped and grinned.
Not daring to say any more nonsense, I obediently continued walking in the queue.
It wasn't that he was afraid of being whipped. Anyway, he was used to being whipped by supervisors, and he was rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Besides, it was impossible for Zhao Erhu to really whip him to death like the supervisor.
What he is afraid of is not having food to eat!
He didn't want to endure the feeling of hunger anymore!
Similar things happened from time to time throughout the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army. The soldiers could not withstand the hard training and complained endlessly.
But under the temptation of a full meal and the coercion of the whip, everyone completed the training obediently!
The training conducted by the Ming Dynasty's Restoration Army was very simple, except for walking in formation, which everyone needed to practice.
The musketeers practiced firing a shot from 50 meters away, then fixed their bayonets and formed a bayonet charge.
In addition to practicing shooting, musketeers practice stabbing! Stab! Stab!
It's not that Zhu Hongyu didn't want to imitate the British lobster soldiers, firing a volley from a distance of twenty meters, and then charging with a bayonet after the attack.
But he simply can't do it!
Although bayonets have been invented now, the bayonets of this era are still plug-in type, not sleeve type.
Once the bayonet is attached to the musket, it cannot be fired.
And twenty meters is too close. After a round of volleys, there is no time to attach the bayonet and we will have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Therefore, we can only make a compromise and fire a volley from fifty meters away, then put on the bayonet and prepare for hand-to-hand combat!
The training of the cold weapon company is similar. The company that uses spears practices stabbing and stabbing in formation.
For a company that uses swords, everyone practices slashing with their swords together.
