On August 12, after everything had settled, Okabe Gennobu and others also returned to their base. Ume Akihei followed the troops of Imagawa Yoshimoto and Sena Ujitoshi and took his two hundred subordinates on the return journey.
road.
In the past few days, Yu Qiupei couldn't take any time off. Asahina Taiheng asked him to go out once, and helped bury his fallen subordinates. It took him a day to choose a cemetery. He talked with Sena Ujitoshi again, and Imagawa Yoshimoto was also summoned.
Yu Qiuping visited Yu Qiuping once. The girl also took time out and secretly came to see Yu Qiuping twice. Yu Qiuping was busy folding red leaves every night. In his spare time, he also had to help his subordinates who were making trouble in Okazaki City.
On the day before returning, Imagawa Yoshimoto summoned Yu Qiupei and asked him to lead the army independently on the way back, learn some military knowledge about setting up a camp, and train the troops during the rest stop.
The various war books that Yu Qiuping had read basically focused on battle formations and duels, and there were few introductions about setting up camps. It was the first time that Yu Qiuping did it in person, and he realized how difficult it was to set up camps. Although the tents used for camping were covered with cloth
I brought it with me, but all kinds of wood for camping need to be cut down by myself. The location for camping is also very particular. It should be close to the water source for easy access to water, not too close to the mountains, and choose a place with few mosquitoes. In summer,
Also choose a cool place...
In addition, how many marching tents are needed to accommodate all the people, how much wood needs to be cut, how many stoves are needed to feed so many people, the size of the camp, and various other problems seem to be endless. This is only 200
It’s a human camp! And the sanitary problems in the camp are also worrying, especially the soldiers’ urination and defecation. Yu Qiuping saw with his own eyes that after Ji Gang Shengzheng finished playing the tuba, he touched it with a small wooden stick without washing his hands.
, and went on to eat. And his stool was randomly placed in an open space in the camp, and he grabbed a handful of soil and threw it on top, and that was it.
This really disgusted Yu Qiuping. So he asked the troops to build toilets the next time they camped. Many small pits were dug, and the Ashigaru people had to dig and fill them with soil themselves after defecating, and then they had to wash their hands!
He simply had Taehyung Asahina following him. Although he was completely uninterested in etiquette, politics, and culture, he seemed to be quite interested in marching and fighting. Under his guidance, Yu Qiuping gained a lot.
However, the training problem of the Ashigaru people bothered Yu Qiuping. He had never practiced military training and did not know how soldiers in ancient times trained. It happened that when the military training started on the first day, Asahina Taehyung went out hunting.
.Yu Qiuping could only catch up and use the routines from his freshman military training.
"Teach you the standard stance first." Yu Qiuping still divided his subordinates into five teams, Fukushima Yasunari, Omaezaki Nakahide, Yoshioka Katsumasa, Ogawa Yufu, and Charlie were each responsible for one, and each person was given an ashigaru.
The promotion of generals. Amano Keitoku and Chibei were also appointed as ashigaru generals. Yu Qiupei demonstrated what the standard standing posture is in each team, and helped the ashigaru correct it one by one.
Close together, tilt your toes, and put your hands close to the seam of your pants!" Yu Qiuping shouted the slogan shouted by the instructor at that time. After everyone learned to stand at attention, Yu Qiuping asked everyone to stand at attention for two quarters of an hour, while he patrolled one by one to help them
Correct actions.
"Sir, your training is so weird." Nakahide Omaezaki muttered dissatisfiedly, "Don't we usually practice martial arts in training? Why did you ask us to practice standing postures? It's not difficult at all." His complaint attracted many people around him.
Ashigaru resonance.
"A good soldier is a good soldier if he has a good position!" Yu Qiuping said, "Your shady and unreasonable position positions have brought disgrace to the name of our Red Leaf Army." Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "And this is not the case at all.
It’s simple, you will know it after you stand for a long time.”
Yu Qiuping's words dispelled everyone's complaints. In order to stand out, there is nothing wrong with practicing your stance. At first, one by one, Ashigaru wore new clothes and stood upright, quite neatly. Soon,
These ashigaru who had never stood in a military posture quickly became overwhelmed. They were sweating profusely and their movements began to deform. Everyone began to take advantage of Yu Qiuping's departure to be lazy and change to some comfortable postures. However, once such behavior was violated by Yu Qiuping,
When he found out, he would be asked to do twenty push-ups on the spot. For this reason, Yu Qiuping even personally demonstrated how to do push-ups.
The time of two-quarters of an hour finally came, and the ashigaru were all exhausted and sat on the ground to rest. Yu Qiuping asked everyone to rest for a quarter of an hour before doing another two-quarters of an hour of standing posture training. This made everyone complain.
"Is it useful to practice this?" Nakahide Omaezaki complained again.
"Of course it's useful. You can train yourself to look like a soldier." Yu Qiuping glared at him dissatisfied, "Look at you, you execute a few orders and then start complaining after a while of training! What the army wants is to enforce orders and prohibitions! It's discipline!"
Yu Qiuping said, "Whoever fails to carry out the order well in the future will be punished! Do push-ups!" Yu Qiuping chuckled, "Omaezaki Nakahide! Let's start with you! Do it!"
So, this kind of standing training lasted for four days. During the training, Yu Qiuping suddenly found the pleasure of being a tormentor, and all the grievances that the instructor had tortured him with in the past were tortured on others, which made him extremely happy. He was high
During military training, because he talked a lot, he often moved around. The angry instructor put a leaf on his head and put a leaf in his mouth for him to hold with his lips. One time the leaf fell, he could do twenty push-ups.
Yu Qiuping did more than a hundred things in one morning. Such humiliation and grief and anger are still fresh in Yu Qiuping's memory. So now that he has the opportunity to be an instructor, he can't wait to punish his subordinates.
At the beginning, he could easily pick out a certain ashigaru's problem, and then let him start doing push-ups on the spot. Because Nakahide Omaezaki complained the most, he once received special care from Yu Qiuping. He stared at him with a feeling.
He had to do push-ups to deform his movements. Therefore, in order not to do push-ups, Omaezaki Nakahide made rapid progress. Soon, Yu Qiuping had to do his best to find out his problems. When he could no longer do anything to Omaezaki Nakahide,
His vision has been cultivated very cunningly.
He suddenly discovered that the standing postures of all the Ashigaru people seemed not to be standard enough. So, the nightmare of the Ashigaru people began. Yu Qiupei was critical of each of their movements, and if they were slightly inappropriate, they would do push-ups. At one point, they were lying on their stomachs.
There are more people than those who are standing. In order to avoid punishment, the Ashigaru people even exchange their thoughts before going to bed at night, and some of them keep standing at attention when they lie down to sleep.
Under Yu Qiuping's devilish supervision and driven by the desire to escape push-ups, the ashigaru's movements improved rapidly. Four days later, with Yu Qiuping's unprofessional level, it was already difficult to pick out the ashigaru to stand at attention.
There was no problem with the posture. One by one, they perfectly raised their chests, raised their heads, and retracted their abdomens, with their hands close to the seams of their trousers, and their eyes looking straight ahead. Even if Yu Qiuping was circling in front of and behind him, he would not dare to move - otherwise
Just push-ups.
When Yu Qiuping found that standing posture could not satisfy his desire for punishment, he introduced another punishment mechanism - discipline. Anyone who violated discipline or orders would do push-ups! So, when the wake-up call sounded in the morning, Yu Qiuping would wait
Start catching latecomers at the meeting point. If you catch one, you will do push-ups. When the lights go out at night, people who talk loudly will also be caught and do push-ups. During training, you will arrive late and leave early, and you will be distracted. The same is true for push-ups. Later, even before eating
Yu Qiuping didn't say anything about starting the meal, so he started to do push-ups even after eating. Originally, Yu Qiuping didn't intend to punish him, but when he saw that Omaezaki Nakahide was violating the rules, he added an additional rule without saying a word - he had to wait for orders before eating.
Later, such orders gradually spread to every part of daily life. For example, after training, if Yu Qiuping did not call for dismissal and everyone was whispering, they had to do push-ups.
Later, when Asahina Taehiro passed by and entered the military camp to say hello, he was standing in a military posture. No one among the Ashigaru who had not received the order dared to pay attention to him. This made Asahina Taehiro very angry. Until Yu Qiupei said, "This is it.
Until then, disband!" After the order, the relieved ashigaru kowtowed and apologized to Asahina Taehyung, making him dumbfounded.
"Your training as a soldier is quite interesting." Asahina Taehyung laughed loudly. "At least the discipline, tsk tsk tsk, is comparable to our Asahina family's flag corps."
After completing the standing posture, Yu Qiuping began to teach the ashigaru the military salute. He asked the ashigaru in the future that when facing the superiors of the family, they do not need to kowtow and salute, but uniformly use the military salute. That is, the raise of hands salute. "We are all
My companions who have been through life and death were all ordinary people not long ago. Now suddenly everyone is kowtowing, and I feel very uncomfortable." This is Yu Qiuping's reason. "Everyone is a free person, and free people are equal.
, It’s just because of the difference in positions.” Although the Ashigaru people could not understand what Yu Qiuping meant by equality, it was always a good thing not to kowtow. A few people who did not change their ways and kowtowed subconsciously were also punished.
push-up.
This reform that Yu Qiuping wanted to implement when he was in Zhilicheng. With the foundation laid by the previous stance training and discipline training, the military etiquette training progressed very quickly. When he first taught the military posture, there was no more bustling and pushing.
appeared. Instead, everyone stood as if facing a formidable enemy, waiting for Yu Qiuping's demonstration.
Although Yu Qiuping's training was very hard, and the Ashurians often complained that Yu Qiuping was like a devil. But in fact, they were still very grateful to Yu Qiuping. They knew that during training in other armies, if they offended their generals, they would be beaten.
Board, how can there be such a light punishment as push-ups. And Yu Qiuping abolished the kneeling ceremony, which made them feel respected. The Ashigaru were no longer treated as trivial beings by the generals.
One day later, when the military ceremony training was completed, Yu Qiuping began to train everyone to line up. According to Yu Qiuping's request, the ashigaru were divided into five groups and trained in four horizontal lines. After arranging the team, Yu Qiuping shouted to disband.
After the ashigaru had finished eating, they immediately shouted to gather. If they couldn't find the ashigaru of the team within the specified time, they had to do push-ups. Yoshioka Katsumasa's team failed to form a team because many people forgot their positions.
Do push-ups together as a team.
The four-row horizontal formation has been mastered by the ashigaru. After they could not easily punish people to do push-ups, Yu Qiupei introduced formation changes. For example, the four-row horizontal formation became a two-row formation, but it was quickly mastered by the ashigaru.
Not many people were punished at all.
As a last resort, Yu Qiuping introduced the three-sided turning method. He found that the biggest difficulty was actually getting the Ashigaru people to distinguish between left and right - there were more than 150 of them who couldn't tell the difference between left and right. So Yu Qiuping asked them to press the left and right sides with their hands.
Chest, look for the position of your heart - that's the left side. Although the Ashigaru people will still be a little confused, Yu Qiuping is very happy - there is another opportunity to punish people with push-ups!
After figuring out the left and right, Yu Qiuping began to make it difficult for him to move his feet when spinning. He did push-ups with his heels off the ground, did push-ups with no sound when kicking his legs, and did push-ups while shaking his arms again...
When the three-sided turning method was also conquered by the Ashigaru, the team had already arrived in Suruga. Amakihei then began to teach marching in formation again. The Ashigaru were asked to jog in line, perform the three-sided turning method in a queue, and even do fan rotation. Running.
When there are four people in a row who are not neatly arranged, the four people do push-ups together, the three-sided rotation method, and the fan rotation. The whole team does push-ups...
Under Yu Qiuping's devilish training, even he himself didn't realize how much his team had improved in terms of military posture, formation, and discipline during the ten days they returned to the city. Although this was compared to modern times,
For the army, Yu Qiuping only trained the army's discipline, organization, and the ability to change queues for more than ten days, which was just a child's play. But with the ancient Japanese army with weak team awareness, let alone discipline
In comparison, this can be regarded as an iron army.
So much so that on the night before arriving at Sunpu Castle, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who came over for a casual look, was deeply shocked by the spirit of Yu Qiupei's team, the orders and prohibitions, and the series of formation changes and military postures.
He looked at the two hundred people under Yu Qiuping's command, arranged in a huge square formation, and followed Yu Qiuping's commands to perform the three-sided turning method in a uniform manner. It was actually difficult to find anyone who was slow. And when Yu Qiuping
After the command "Forward and merge" was given, the more than two hundred ashigaru immediately jogged and gathered into a small square formation. Then they quickly arranged into five four-row formations and began jogging training. After the training,
The two hundred ashigaru stood motionless in front of Yu Qiuping. It wasn't until Yu Qiuping shouted for dismissal and everyone clapped their hands together that they dispersed.
"Main Hall, what do you think?" Yu Qiuping asked Imagawa Yoshimoto. He himself did not know how difficult it was for the ancient army that lacked systematic training to achieve the system he successfully implemented. He originally thought
, this is a common thing. However, unlike the military blind Akihei, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, understands that such strict discipline, such quick and neat formation changes, such arm-like command, on the battlefield means
What are you wearing?
"Do you want to hear the truth, Yu Qiu?" Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at Yu Qiuping, "Just looking at the queue change just now, I thought I was encountering Judge Kuro's flag."
"Not long ago, this team had no organization and discipline." Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to be increasingly unable to see through the potential of Yu Qiupei, "Tell me how you did it?"
