Five watercrafts and five thousand stones of grain and grass were loaded from the dock in Fucheng, Jiangzhou.
Under the personal leadership of Ma Cheng, we slowly sailed along the Yangtze River towards Pengze.
A canal can actually carry two thousand stones of grain and grass, but there are other things to be loaded, such as some utensils, wood, bamboo, etc.
All kinds of things together, just enough to load five boats.
This time only five canoes went out, and there were no escorting warships.
Once we arrived at Pengze, we didn't have far to go down the river for a hundred miles and it didn't take us even two hours.
In addition, the main reason is that the training of sailors has not been carried out at all.
However, those 200 people were allocated to Ma Cheng.
Ma Cheng did not leave them idle. One hundred of them were assigned to five boats and followed them to Pengze.
Another hundred people stayed at Fucheng Wharf to build the water transportation yamen.
The pier was almost abandoned before, but people often came to inspect the boats tied to the pier.
Now that the water transport fleet is organized, the dock can be reused.
Moreover, there is a lot of open space on this side of the dock, which can be used as warehouses, training grounds, and offices.
"Old San, I'll leave this to you. From now on, you can follow Mr. Ma to work properly." Song Yang got off the pier and said to Niu Lao San.
Niu Laosan is the most water-savvy among the guards.
So he was arranged by Song Yang to become the captain of the navy.
He also assisted Ma Cheng in managing naval military affairs.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the bid will definitely live up to His Majesty's instructions!" Niu Laosan said solemnly.
"hehe."
Song Yang saw his serious face, smiled and patted his shoulder and said:
"Okay, okay. You guys go ahead and clear out the training ground and warehouse first. We have to go back to Yangxin to transport food in a few days."
"Yes! Take your orders!"
Niu Laosan responded and took the people to work again.
The five thousand stones of grain transported this time all came from the Fucheng granary.
When the fleet comes back, they have to go to Yangxin to transport some grain and fodder back to replenish their positions.
…
Song Yang explained a few words and went back to the camp.
"Hey!"
"ha!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
After returning from the dock, Yu Ming organized a thousand people to start formal military training in the open space to the north of the camp and east of the city ruins.
Of these 1,000 people, 500 are locals from Jiangzhou, and the other 500 are refugees from Hongzhou who have just been released from quarantine.
Three days ago, all residents in the refugee resettlement camps were released from isolation, and even the sick cases in the disease camps were completely cleared.
Everything in Fucheng is developing for the better.
The people who returned to the main camp from the epidemic camp have slowly begun to build their new homes.
The refugees also arrived at their homesteads, which was actually at the location of the refugee resettlement camp.
After the continuous expansion of the main business, it is almost connected to the refugee resettlement site.
Therefore, the people in the refugee camp did not need to move at all. Homesteads were allocated on-site and the resettlement camp was demolished. The refugee camp became a new area.
People coming from Hongzhou will be quarantined in De'an first. The quarantine area needed in Jiangzhou Fucheng is not large.
Occasionally, some refugees would come over and they could be put down in the quarantine area.
If the area is cleared and slightly expanded, it can easily accommodate seven or eight hundred people.
Now the food supply for the refugees has been upgraded from half a kilogram of life-threatening porridge per day to one kilogram of staple food per day.
After eating more, they gained strength, and the refugees began to build new houses.
They never thought of leaving Jiangzhou, because no one could resist the temptation of twenty acres of land each.
Although no specific land distribution measures have been announced yet, the people who know the news are also very motivated.
The most powerful ones are the Thousand Renewal Army.
Anyone who is selected as a member of the Renaissance Army and has not yet built a clay house will be directly rewarded with a clay house!
After the people built their own homes some time ago, they will continue to build houses. Anyway, as long as they build, Song Yang will give them food.
Everyone is eager to keep doing it.
So now more than a thousand adobe houses have been vacated, which have been allocated to a thousand revival troops.
As a member of the Fuxing Army, in addition to being provided with shelter, he was also provided with adequate food while serving in the army.
The most important thing is to eat meat every day!
This temptation was so great that a few days ago, when Yu Ming said he wanted to recruit people.
The common people wished they could step on his forehead and tell him: "I want to join the army!"
After three days of screening, Yu Ming finally selected a thousand strong men with relatively good physical fitness.
Training officially begins today.
A thousand warriors held bamboo spears and were furiously attacking the scarecrow in front of them.
There is a red mark on the top of the scarecrow's head, chest, and lower abdomen.
These three positions are where the bamboo spear will hit.
"You! I'm asking you to thrust! I'm not asking you to hit dates! Why don't you just push forward! You're sweeping!"
"And you! Can't you hold a gun? The meat you had for lunch was in vain? Pick it up and continue!"
"Idiot! Will you take a step forward if you can't reach it? Take a step forward and then stab!"
Song Yang just stood aside and watched for a while.
Yu Ming's roars continued continuously.
how to say.
These thousand soldiers who had just participated in training were full of mistakes.
Although his enthusiasm is very high, his strength is really not that good.
This is something that some basic training was carried out some time ago.
As soon as serious military training began, shortcomings were immediately apparent.
Song Yang left all military training matters to Yu Ming.
He did not blindly introduce the kind of military training he knew.
Military training in formation is not a panacea.
Song Yang needs to train a team that can fight as soon as possible, instead of a horizontal and vertical formation.
It’s not that that kind of military training is bad, it’s just that the actual results are slower.
Yu Ming's military training methods were brought out from the army and are quite practical.
"Wei Nan!"
"The mark is on!"
"You come and lead them to practice! My throat is smoking!"
Yu Ming changed, and Wei Nan started to pull his neck and shout again.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
Yu Ming saw Song Yang watching from the side and trotted over to say hello.
"Lao Yu, actually they practiced pretty well. It's the first day, so don't worry." Song Yang took the water bag and handed it to Yu Ming and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Ming took the water bottle and took a big sip.
After drinking the water, Yu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Your Majesty, you know this even if you are in a humble position."
"So today I just scolded them. If these mistakes could still happen in the guardhouse, they would have been hit with military sticks long ago."
"Today is the first day. I will take care of you for a while."
"I'll leave it to Wei Nan from now on. In a few days, I plan to go to various counties to check on the military training."
"Since Your Majesty has entrusted the matter of military training to the commander-in-chief of the humble position, the humble commander must do his best, right?"
Song Yang smiled and said, "When Manager Ma comes back, you can go to Yangxin with his canal first."
"No no no!"
Yu Ming waved his hands hurriedly and said: "I'm still accustomed to riding horses in my humble position. If I go by boat, I will faint to death!"
"Haha! Landlubber!" Song Yang shook his head and laughed.
Although Yu Ming doesn't want to take a boat, it is most convenient to take a boat now.
When it's time to travel, taking a boat will be necessary.
After watching the military training for a while, Song Yang returned home all the way.
"When I was training in the military as an adult, I always felt that I was a little behind."
"Even if you can practice it, it will only be usable. Your military knowledge is not enough."
"How about... setting up a military academy?"
Song Yang leaned on the stone bench in the small courtyard and began to ponder.
