Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 349 Heluo Wind and Thunder 2
Wuyang Guard——now it is called Heluo Xinjun, and the treatment of Heluo Xinjun is very good. Even Guan Ningjun, who has the most favorable treatment, will be jealous.However, while enjoying generous treatment, they must also abide by extremely strict military discipline:

First: Obey orders unconditionally. When the boss officially issues an order, it must be implemented without questioning, even if the order is wrong!
Second: Officers are not allowed to impose any humiliating corporal punishment on soldiers, and they are not allowed to accept any valuables or money presented by soldiers, let alone ask for them. Violators will be dismissed!
Third: You must always pay attention to your appearance. Those who are disheveled, do not do housework well, and do not pay attention to personal hygiene will be warned once, punished twice, and dismissed three times. The army will not accept sloppy ghosts and slobs!
Fourth: The army is not allowed to enter the urban area without an order. Even if it is a holiday, it is not allowed to enter the urban area in groups in military uniforms. Violators will be locked up!

Fifth: Weapons must be well maintained. Officers conduct spot checks from time to time. Those who do not maintain properly and those who vandalize will be severely punished!

sixth:……

seventh:……

eighth:……

……

There are hundreds of them, and the recruits stick out their tongues, my mother, it's too strict!They are not allowed to gather crowds to fight, drink alcohol or smoke without authorization in the military camp, engage in any form of commercial activities in the military camp, gather crowds to gamble, gather crowds to commit adultery, leave the military camp without permission, bring their family members into the military camp without authorization, and accept Any gifts from outsiders must be bought and sold fairly, and no credit is allowed... Simply put, after entering this military camp, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, smoking, cheating, cheating, abducting, cheating, and robbery are all insulated from them. They complained endlessly: "Are we here to serve as soldiers or to cultivate!?"

What makes them more satisfied is that officers must also abide by these disciplines. If they are violated, the officers will be punished more severely. In serious cases, their futures will be ruined.Another point is that although military discipline is strict, it is not to the point where heads are lost easily. In fact, corporal punishments such as cutting off ears, cutting off noses, gouging out eyes, tattooing, and inserting arrows into the camp are not seen at all. Heluo There are only five punishment methods for the New Army. For minor cases, they can be punished by running uphill or running long distances. For more serious cases, they can be placed in confinement. For serious cases, they can be beaten with a military stick. At the point where they are beaten with a military stick, they are not far away from being kicked out.In other armies, beating with a military stick is the lightest punishment, but here, it is a great shame and humiliation.Of course, what is more serious than beating with military sticks and retreating is the death penalty.Behead those who take bribes!Those who are good at selling military supplies will be beheaded!If you retreat from the battle, those who escape will be beheaded!Anyone who betrays military secrets will be beheaded!Those who insult women will be beheaded!Those who kill good people and take credit for their merits will be beheaded!Which offense requires corporal punishment, which offense requires confinement, which offense requires a military stick, which offense requires being rolled up and driven away, and which offense is a capital offense, are all clearly written down, and there is also one at the end: the law enforcement team uses their powers in general. Whoever dies!Yes, even the law enforcement team is in danger of being enforced!

The recruits studied and studied, and finally came to the conclusion... don't be afraid, as long as we abide by the discipline, no one will touch a hair on our head!It can be seen from this that serving in the Heluo New Army is still a very cost-effective thing. Not only will you not be punished for no reason, but you can also get good treatment. The future of money is promising.

However, the following training made them complain endlessly!

In the early morning, when they were sleepy, a cannon almost shattered the windows of the dormitory... It was time to get up!The officer would kick open the door and rush into the dormitory with a whip made of fine sand poured into long and thin strips of cloth, and roughly kick them out of the dormitory.This thing won't hurt the muscles and skin when hit on the body, but it hurts to the bone marrow. Those who have been whipped once are unwilling to be whipped a second time in their life!

When they got together in a sea of ​​chickens and dogs, what was waiting for them was a five-kilometer long-distance race. Sao Nian, let’s run as hard as we can. Those who come back first eat first... I’m sorry for the last ones, military expenses Nervous, according to the latest scientific research, eating one meal less can cultivate people's enthusiasm, so you are hungry!
After breakfast, there was the disgusting queue training. A group of unscrupulous instructors stood in front of them with grinning smiles and quickly shouted commands: turn left, turn right, turn back, turn left, turn back, original Walk on the ground!It made them dizzy, and they almost couldn't tell east, west, north, south.Or just standing in a military posture, some nasty guys deliberately took them to the grass where there are a lot of mosquitoes and flies. Within a minute, three colorful mosquitoes lay on the tip of their noses. , Those who go to fight mosquitoes or do small tricks... wait for ducks!By the way, there is also the damn internal affairs, the devil knows how these unscrupulous instructors did it, the quilts are folded like tofu cubes, everything is neatly arranged, there is absolutely no extra thing in the dormitory, The floors and windows are spotless, and...everyone follows this standard, and you will feel better if you can't do it!
After a difficult first month of suffering, a second month of greater suffering came.Get up early in the morning and run ten kilometers just to wake up and sleep.Running with a sandbag weighing forty to fifty catties on your back is because you have too much physical strength, do you need to vent?After eating breakfast, the two-hour training is only for the exercise of muscles and bones?Is it okay to run another five kilometers as an appetizer before dinner in the afternoon?After dinner, do 150 push-ups because the instructor cares about your body?Sometimes in the middle of the night, people are kicked into the carriage and pulled ten miles away to let them walk back in the dark because they are afraid that the long night will make everyone too boring. Is it possible to have some fun for everyone?Most of the soldiers now think that Yang Menglong's regulations on smoking, drinking, gambling, and fighting are purely superfluous. After being tossed like this for a day, they are exhausted. Who has the mood to do these things!
The training of Lancers and Hoplites was even more painful.The internal affairs requirements of these two services are not so strict, but the training is frighteningly strict.

In addition to queue training, armed cross-country training and combat training, hoplites also have specialized large and small muscle group training. Barbells, dumbbells, and elastic ropes have become their good friends. The purpose of training is to train them The strength of every muscle in the body is fully mobilized, allowing them to have stronger explosive power, longer endurance, more agility, and a stronger will. This kind of training is undoubtedly very painful. Often, at the end of the day, The next day, there was not a single joint or muscle in my whole body that was not in excruciating pain, and I could not even open my hands.The worst thing is that this kind of training does not only take ten days and a half, but will accompany them for several years. As long as they are still serving in the military camp and their physical conditions permit, they must train like this.The training is long and painful, and they can only enjoy short-term happiness after defeating the enemy.

The Lancers were even worse.They didn't have such perverted large muscle group and small muscle group training. After being severely punished several times and knowing the importance of military discipline and queue training, they also worked hard and passed these trainings smoothly.However, the following training made them want to cry: they had to undergo more than 50 trainings, half of which were for cavalry, half for infantry, and some for them to save their lives on the battlefield. In other words, just controlling the horses to synchronize with the surrounding comrades-in-arms to form a dense and neat cavalry wall that cannot be rushed no matter how the enemy rushes, the difficulty is daunting.It's easy to make people line up neatly, but how easy is it to make war horses line up neatly?Not to mention the distraction of controlling the horses to form a cavalry wall while fighting the enemy!After they finally formed the cavalry wall, a new challenge came: the demon instructor dragged the artillery, and the cannons were roared, the horses neighed in fright, and the formation became chaotic in a blink of an eye, and then, waiting for them It was another curse.The instructor's yelling and cursing have become an important part of their lives, and there is no day when training is free from scolding.Of course, scolding is scolding, they still have a sense of proportion, they will not insult the soldiers' family members, and they will not hurt their self-esteem too much. After being scolded for a long time, everyone will get used to it.

It is very difficult to train a Lancer.Like the Pikemen, it’s no problem to get on the battlefield in the first half of the training, but the Lancers are not good. The first half of the training can only be regarded as a little trick, and the last year of training is considered to have initially formed combat effectiveness. It takes two years to practice It is done, and it is easy to cause disability accidents. Whether it is a horse or a human, it is not easy to practice it.

Within a few months of the training, Fang Yizhi complained endlessly: "It's too frightening to pay for the military expenses of this stupid Heluo new army!"In addition, the Ming army practiced once every five days, which was considered a rare elite, but they were lucky, as if they had been beaten to death, they had to train at least eight hours a day!The consumption caused by this kind of training is very scary, not to mention the consumption of various equipment, crossbow arrows, lead bullets and other materials. Just changing shoes and socks once a month is enough for Nanyang Mansion to drink a pot!He even regretted why he was so confused and paid half of the military expenses for Yang Menglong... But thinking of the necessity of maintaining the relationship between the Heluo New Army and the imperial court, he could only grit his teeth and continue to hold on.Anyway, now Nanyang's population is increasing, factories and shops are increasing, and taxes are naturally increasing. He can still afford this money!
I really can't hold it anymore, isn't there still such a local tyrant as Yang Menglong!
"Can't you let the army skip training for a few days?" Looking at the shocking bill, the lovely Mr. Fang frowned.

Yang Menglong said nonchalantly: "How many days less training? Just kidding, I think their training intensity is not enough, so I plan to give them more training!"

Fang Yizhi was so excited that he didn't draw it.He smiled wryly and said, "It's really hard to be your soldier!"

Yang Menglong said: "If you are a ghost, you can be a master. If you don't have this kind of awareness, it's better for them to leave as soon as possible. You have to allocate a piece of land on the other side of Tongbai Mountain and Funiu Mountain to build a training camp for me!"

Fang Yizhi was a little annoyed: "Compared to the original Wuyang Guard, the training camp of the Heluo New Army has expanded more than ten times, and a cavalry training base has also been established. Are you still not satisfied?"

Yang Menglong said: "I can't just have cavalry and infantry, I have to have a mountain infantry!"

Fang Yizhi snorted: "Mountain soldier? What the hell is this?"

Yang Menglong said: "Of course it is a mountain combat force! You see, many bandits and grassroots are entrenched in the deep mountains and old forests. The terrain there is dangerous, the roads are narrow and rugged, and the army cannot pass. What should you do? In vain, sending a small group of troops to the past is meat buns and dogs, and there is no turning back! But if there is a mountain army, it will be different. They climb mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground, and sometimes tens of thousands of troops can’t conquer the majestic pass. Fortress, a few hundred of them can take it down, isn’t it a good deal? I happen to have such a group of soldiers from Sichuan and southern Hunan under my command. Let's set up a training camp for mountain soldiers!"

Hearing that there were so many benefits, Fang Yizhi became energetic and searched the map for a long time, and finally marked out a more suitable place for Yang Menglong.Daming really needs such a mountain army. Not to mention, there are many bandits in the Funiu Mountains alone, threatening the ancient waterways that pass through the mountains. Merchants and gentry complained a lot. They are often nowhere to be found, and sending small troops there is not enough to get between the teeth. If there is such a mountain army, things will be much easier...Which is more cost-effective to bear the combat consumption of thousands of people or hundreds of people? , Fang Zhifu still knows it in his heart.

Thus began the planning of forming a mountain unit.In the near future, this small but extremely fierce army will make many heroes want to cry.
