The soldiers in Nanyuan Barracks and Jingying Camp were very excited.
Ever since Uncle Dingyuan took over the capital camp, among other things, the food in the military camp has become so good.
They eat three meals a day. This makes them happy and want nothing more.
The Ming Dynasty has always had only lunch and dinner. There is no habit of eating breakfast. Not to mention these soldiers. They have two meals of gruel a day. Each meal is moldy old grain porridge, which is good if it can be half full.
Already.
Now at five o'clock in the morning every day (the military camp first adopted the time of modern clocks), the wake-up call will sound ticking.
The instructors responsible for training them, the veterans of the Jia Ding Regiment, would rush into the dormitory and yell at them to get up. Anyone who was slow to get dressed would definitely get a stick.
After getting up, they gathered in the yard and stood in line. The instructors checked the military appearance and discipline in turn. Anyone who was disheveled, buttoned wrongly, without socks, or missing one shoe would be punished with fifty push-ups.
If you make a mistake three times, you will be given ten blows with the military stick.
After these few days of use, they have become accustomed to wearing camouflage uniforms. This new type of training uniform is very fast to put on. If you don't wear it quickly, you will not be spared the military stick.
After getting used to it, I found that these clothes were easier to wear than the previous clothes. They also made me move more quickly. Whether I was riding a horse or walking, it was very convenient for training.
After sorting out their clothes, they lined up to wash up. There were a row of faucets with iron pipes in the yard, and below was a cement sink. Everyone lined up to wash up.
Everyone was handed out a towel, a bar of soap, an enamel basin, a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush in a plastic box.
They imitated the instructor and started brushing their teeth. It was the first time for many of them to brush their teeth and they made a pool of blood foam. But after brushing their teeth, their mouths felt fresh and fragrant. It felt really good.
After washing up, we lined up to go to the school grounds to get lunch.
Breakfast consists of cornmeal pancakes, corn porridge, pickles and fried cabbage slices. Yang Fan specifically instructed that breakfast should include adequate intake of vegetables and salt.
The cornmeal pancake is baked golden brown on one side and tastes very sweet.
After breakfast, I started running. After running, it was a day of training. In the morning, I stood in line and practiced military postures and movements under various commands.
After lunch, they practiced spear assassination, each of whom had to do three hundred assassinations. Qi Jiguang described the situation on the battlefield in "Ji Xiao Xinshu" and specifically said that martial arts masters are useless on the battlefield because both sides are being attacked.
You are stationed in a military formation to fight. There is no room for you to move around.
The real battlefield is like, "The enemy comes at us with spears, and we stab him back with guns at random. The enemy comes at us with swords, and we kill him with swords at random."
As for which side will win, the comparison will be based on the equipment, organizational capabilities, training level, fighting will, physical strength and endurance of the officers and soldiers of both sides.
Therefore, Yang Fan practiced their organizational skills and obedience skills through queues, allowing them to form muscle memory. Through a ten-kilometer long-distance run every day, they exercised their team combat awareness, and the physical strength and endurance of the officers and soldiers.
Each battalion head is divided into five hundred-household teams. One hundred people form a square, and five people form a row, a total of twenty rows. Each row is a team.
Now the team leaders, team leaders, small flags, general flags, and hundreds of households are all veterans and officers of the Jia Ding Regiment. The purpose is to facilitate training.
The former Beijing camp soldiers, no matter what their positions were, were all soldiers and were retrained. As for how they were reorganized after the training was completed, it depended on the emperor's wishes. Yang Fan only trained them here.
After having a full breakfast, my whole body was warm. In the cold wind of late autumn, I felt particularly strong when I started running. Soon I was covered in sweat.
Nanyuan is so big that Emperor Qianlong once sent someone to measure the length of the wall. It was more than 120 miles, and one mile in the Qing Dynasty was 576 meters long. In this way, the perimeter was almost twice that of Beijing, reaching 70 kilometers.
Yang Fan originally wanted them to march and exercise every day and run around Nanyuan.
Later, I checked and found that this distance was too long. If I did this, people would be exhausted and would do nothing. Later, I changed to running from the south of the military camp to the north gate and back. A total of ten kilometers. I ran once a day in the morning.
.
Carrying backpacks and luggage, carrying weapons and carrying thirty kilograms of weight, they were fully armed and ran in formation for ten kilometers.
Even if you don't let go and run just to maintain formation, this is still very tiring.
This design is mainly to let them practice the idea that marching is to increase the marching speed as much as possible while maintaining the organizational structure.
No matter how fast you are, you cannot disrupt the formation. If everyone is scattered, there is no point. You can't fight even if you rush to the battlefield.
Every time I ran back, everyone felt exhausted and exhausted.
In order to stimulate their enthusiasm, Yang Fan specially provided 100 braised pig heads every day. Based on 100 households, the first 100 households to come back would each receive ten braised pig heads.
That is to say, each gang has a pig head.
A pig head usually weighs about twenty kilograms. After removing the hair and bones, and cooking it in marinade, it can produce about twelve kilograms of meat. It is enough for one person and eleven instructors to eat happily.
All of a sudden, these soldiers in the Beijing camp, who were relying on grains and gruel to survive, went completely crazy.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and they were trembling with excitement as they looked at the braised pig heads piled together.
Every centurion ran like crazy just to get the pig's head meat. The officers shouted angrily and maintained their formation. If someone fell behind or the formation was scattered, it would not count.
This is also to exercise their sense of teamwork. Only when everyone is in their own positions can the formation be maintained. The slowest person in a team of 100 will determine the speed of the entire team.
The officers' physical strength is much better than theirs. They are all Yang Fan's old servants and have been trained for a long time.
The officers were taught how to breathe and how to control their speed while running. Ten kilometers is a test of endurance, and it cannot be won by running as hard as you can from the beginning.
Zhou Lizhi is the Hundred Household Training Officer of this hundred-man team. He comes from a family background and follows his master to participate in almost every battle.
As he ran, he yelled at his hundred soldiers.
"Listen to me, your toes must land first, not the entire sole of your foot, otherwise your feet will be easily injured."
He controls the speed of the entire team. The first 5 kilometers should be at a constant speed, adjust in the 6th to 9th kilometers, and then "sprint" in the 10th kilometers, and you will definitely get good results.
The instructors in these trainings are also secretly competing for their ability to lead troops. Because the master has to look at these situations. This is also the basis for their promotion and reuse in the future.
Yang Fan always talks about data, and their daily performance is the basic condition for their promotion.
Yang Fan's standard is a ten-kilometer armed cross-country, with a passing time of eighty minutes.
For those who can pass the test, half a catty of braised pork and enough white rice can be added to a large spoonful of bright red braised pork soup that night.
If the top 100 players in the morning come back, they will be given pig heads at that time.
If you can't pass the exam, just eat corn and cabbage for one day. Of course, corn and cabbage are enough.
Who can bear this? They are all the same people, with one shoulder and one head. Who is worse than the other?
The passing rate is gradually improving.
Yang Fan is very satisfied with the current progress. Before the Spring Festival, these soldiers in the Beijing camp will basically look like an army.
