On this day, just after the first day of the week, there was a violent drum beat at the south gate of the school...
Heifu immediately opened his eyes. He had not slept well last night. To use a poem to describe this house, it is, "There is no room for leakage at the bedside, and the rain is like numb feet!" In addition, there is another room in this small space.
The musty smell of the stock, not to mention the smell of sweaty feet...
This was their situation last night. They barely fell asleep until the rain stopped in the second half of the night, so at this moment, everyone was still sleeping soundly.
Heifu looked at the dim light outside the window, got up and put on his clothes, and then woke up everyone in the room one by one, starting with Ji Ying and Dongmen Bao.
"Get up, Ersanzi, get up soon!"
Dongmen Bao probably hated being called out. He sat up suddenly, looked at Hei Fu fiercely, and almost punched him. Then he remembered who he was and touched his hair instead.
Get up and stay.
Ji Ying grinded his teeth and turned over. Hei Fu lifted the quilt, and then he cried out that he was cold.
The rest of the people were about the same. Brother Chaobo, Pig, and Mu were already looking for shoes, but they also struggled to get up. What surprised Hei Fu was that the taciturn little Tao turned over before he called.
It seems that he woke up early too.
The most difficult one to scream was the one named Ping. He pushed and muttered and refused to get up after countless pushbacks. It was not until Dongmen Leopard got impatient that he jumped up and grabbed his collar and scolded him loudly, and Ping woke up drowsily.
After everyone went out, they discovered that it rained lightly last night, but it was still a sunny day today.
"It will be bearable if you stay until the afternoon." Uncle Chao sighed. Unlike doing farm work in his own fields, the guardsmen prefer cloudy days when they are serving.
After arriving at the school grounds, Heifu discovered that their group was actually the first to arrive, and the staff was neatly organized. The rest of the group of people basically arrived one after another in varying degrees, yawning non-stop and low in energy. However, after all, they were not
If people dare to be lazy, everyone knows what the price will be...
When the sun fully rose, there was a huge school ground with a total of ten rooms and hundreds of people gathered there.
However, this so-called "gathering" is really just standing in a group, without any order at all. The guards are all from the same county, and even some from the same hometown and are related to each other. Of course they have to say hello when they meet.
, came over and chatted for a while, greeted their respective families, and talked about this year’s harvest. I heard that you gave birth to another fat boy...
Heifu saw this scene with his eyes. He thought that many people here had participated in the watch and had received training in previous years, so there would be some order at least, but the reality surprised him.
Uncle Chao also shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of these young people. He said to Heifu: "Most of the people with titles and old soldiers were recruited by the prefect of this county to guard the border two days ago, so
Most of the people who came were new soldiers."
"That's it." Hei Fu understood clearly. This was probably what the two merchants in the restaurant said yesterday. Because the King of Qin attacked Yan and attacked the north and defended the south, the Qin-Chu border needed to be guarded, so most of those who stayed behind
They are new recruits in their twenties, so their military literacy is generally not high.
In short, although no one made a loud noise, whispers could be heard constantly, and the order was very loose, making the school grounds look like a mess.
What finally silenced everyone was a harsh golden cry...
"Boom!" The bronze vertebra hit the bell, making a loud noise. Everyone stopped talking and looked at the small earthen platform in front of the school ground. There were already gold and drums there, and the county soldiers were holding spears and trotting on the ground.
They came out and stood in a row, with their heads held high and their chests held high. Although in Heifu's eyes, their queue was not neat, it was much better than the sloppy ones.
At this time, two generals wearing colorful armor also stepped onto the platform. Hei Fu stood on tiptoe and saw General Bin Bai who had troubled them yesterday standing on the right and General Chen standing on the left. The whole process
Here, the two of them didn't exchange a word, they just carried out official duties indifferently, which shows the difference in their relationship.
General Chen Bai was responsible for training the soldiers. When he saw that the time was almost up, he took a step forward, coughed lightly, and started talking...
"The harvest this autumn has been completed, Anlu has a great harvest. We are ordered by the county magistrate and county captain to recruit two or three sons to gather here for the purpose of preparing soldiers, half a month of military drills, and half a month of hard work..."
"Why perform military exercises? As the ancients said, a lady often dies in what she cannot do and defeats what is inconvenient. To not teach the people to fight is to abandon them..."
This Chen Baijiang is indeed a man who has studied and graduated from a school. His speech is also refined, and he can say a few "ancient people" from time to time. However, Bin Baijiang is looking at him with disdain. The soldiers in the school grounds
The watchmen also looked at a loss. After all, lowly people like them would not understand what the ancients said two or three hundred years ago.
Dongmen Bao and others were also puzzled by Monk Erzhang. Heifu could only explain in a low voice that Chen Baijiang was talking about why the guards should be trained because if they were driven to the battlefield without proper training, it would definitely lead to "overthrow."
The defeat of "the army will kill the general" is sending them to death.
"I just sweat more in normal times and bleed less in battles...Do you understand now?" Heifu whispered to Dongmen Bao and Ji Ying.
"So that's it!" The two of them suddenly realized, Dongmen Bao cursed in a low voice: "Why should such a simple thing be so complicated? Hei Fu, why don't you go up!" He now has another layer of respect for Hei Fu.
admire.
"I'm just a civil servant, how can I be qualified?" Heifu smiled, but thought of something in his mind.
He heard that nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period would use hunting throughout the year to train the people in their territories. That was probably the origin of daily training.
After hundreds of years of development, in the Qin State today, this has become a system guaranteed by law. Just imagine, more than a hundred soldiers are trained every month in Anlu County, and the number can reach two to three hundred in spring, summer and autumn. A year
The total number is two thousand. There are nearly 40,000 people in the eighteen counties of Nanjun. There are more than 20 counties in Qin State, which is nearly one million people...
After doing the calculation, Hei Fu couldn't help but take a breath. He finally understood how Qin defeated the 450,000 Zhao army in Changping, and how it mobilized 200,000 and 600,000 troops to destroy Chu.
The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest grain of wood; the nine-story platform is born from tired soil.
The invincible Qin army of millions was composed of soldiers and soldiers as tiny as ants like him!
At this time, Chen Baijiang's lecture was coming to an end. He said that although the soldiers were not yet formal soldiers, they were still subject to military discipline! Those who cheated and disobeyed orders would be punished extremely severely! Then he made a statement
The specific content of the "troops exercise" in the first half of the month.
"Wu Zi said, sit up and rise, walk and stop, left and right, front and back, divide and join, tie and untie, learn every change, then teach the soldiers... This is Geng Pou.
The required training, as for martial arts and weapons, will be practiced in the army when you serve as regular soldiers and garrison soldiers!"
As soon as he said this, Heifu breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from playing with daggers and daggers, he really didn't know anything about the weapons of this era, let alone bows and arrows.
On the other hand, walking, sitting, standing, left and right, forward and backward, are things that the modern army more than two thousand years later also emphasized training. China is even more happy with this, and they all come up with tricks. Those who have experienced military training
Even high school students and college students understand it, let alone someone who graduated from the police academy.
Finally, General Chen Bai came to the key point of today: "In the art of military use, teaching and precepts come first; if one person learns warfare, he will teach it to ten people. If ten people learn warfare, he will teach it to hundreds of people. It is the duty of this hundred generals to teach you
Wait for a hundred people! A hundred people are divided into ten shis. Even though a shi wu is small, it cannot be without a leader. Today we should choose a shi leader, a wu leader!"
He glanced at the guards who were standing in a mess, frowned, and ordered to the county guards: "Let everyone stand separately according to the order of each house!"
The county soldiers came over and designated ten areas on the school grounds, and arranged for everyone to stand separately based on the houses they lived in. It seemed like a simple task, but it took a full quarter of an hour, and the ten areas were finally separated.
, they were assigned the serial numbers A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui in order from right to left.
This thing of Heifu and his friends is "Guishi".
"Those who have nobility, what are you willing to do? Those who are senior, please go out!"
Hearing this, Heifu nodded to Dongmen Leopard, and the two of them walked out together, but Heifu took two steps forward, while Dongmen Leopard stopped one step behind him.
Two hundred generals walked down the platform and inspected each department in order. A clerk followed behind them and counted the number of people in each department, as well as the names of the chiefs and corps commanders.
When they reached Guishi, Chen Baijiang saw Hei Fu at a glance and smiled: "There are only two noble men in Guishi?"
Facing this "savior", Hei Fu said respectfully: "I dare to tell the generals that only Hei Fu and Bao are public servants, and the other eight are all soldiers."
"Which one of you is the elder, and who is the corps commander?"
Dongmen Leopard took the initiative to answer: "Why is the black husband the leader? The villain is the leader of the corps."
"Good, great good." Chen Baijiang was very happy and was about to ask the officials around him to write it down.
However, at this moment, the contemptuous voice of General Bin came from the side.
"This black man is just a soldier serving for the first time. At most he has some courage, what can he do?"
