Chapter 588: Recruit training

PS: Two chapters first, four chapters in the evening
"His Royal Highness, the total number of recruits enlisted in the six states this time is 20,000. After all, the number of young and middle-aged people in the six states is limited. However, relatively speaking, there are a lot of soldiers enlisted in Pengzhou, Yangzhou, Huaizhou and Tongzhou. Lu Fei said it is only Pengzhou. Then there are 10,000 recruits, plus the recruits from Huaizhou, a total of about 25,000, and Ye Qingyun reported more recruits than Lu Fei, totaling 30,000."
In the camp of Qingzhou Daying, Niu Ben reported to Xiao Ming the conscription during this period.
"Seven-five thousand people!" Xiao Ming was a little surprised when he heard the words. This number has exceeded his expectations. After all, the recruits were enlisted on a voluntary basis, rather than being strong.
Niu Ben nodded, showing pride. He said: "We have lost 3,000 soldiers in the Battle of Wei Di. Now these soldiers are replenished. The total number of troops in the country is 160,000, including 10 infantrymen. Ten thousand, 40,000 cavalry and 20,000 chariots."
"One hundred sixty thousand people, um, the annual military salary has to be close to two million taels. This does not include the money spent on horses and equipment." Xiao Ming sighed and said, if it wasn't for the war, he really didn't want to maintain it. With a huge military strength, the number of recruits recruited this time is almost as large as the number of veterans before.
Niu Ben said: "His Royal Highness, the number of our soldiers is not too large. According to the final understanding, now King Wei, King Yan, King Liang, and King Zhao are all recruiting troops, and some even directly recruit strong men and fill them into the army. In the chaos, who doesn't want to fight the world with heavy soldiers."
"Your words are correct. It's just that these feudal lords are now angering people by holding strong men. This king can't emulate them. A stable rear is the root of the conquest, and the soldiers are not expensive. Now the number of troops has reached this king. The number in my mind, the four states now won can feed these 75,000 people."
"Yes, Your Highness." Niu Ben said.
"Also, the recruits cannot be slackened when they are recruited and trained. You must train them as strictly as the Qingzhou Army." Xiao Ming said.
"His Royal Highness, if this is not done well, it is better to go back to farm." Niu Ben laughed a few times, and then he pointed to the school field outside and said: "His Royal Highness, please see, that is the recruits to be trained, according to the training manual. When these recruits first enter the barracks, they must first train their physical strength, endurance and discipline. When they are trained to be strong and able to strictly observe the discipline, then they will enter the gun loading and shooting training."
Xiao Ming looked outside and asked Niu Ben to walk with him to the school ground to observe the training of these recruits.
Different from the traditional training methods of the soldiers of Da Yu, Xiao Ming's army now belongs to the modern army, so the training and subjects are naturally different from the feudal army.
Because of this, recruits do not start training battlefields immediately after entering the army, but first start physical training. After all, if a soldier has no power to bind the chicken, his survival rate on the battlefield is still very low.
Niu Ben in the camp just now has made it very thorough. Generally speaking, training a feudal army into a modern army requires several requirements. One is modern national and national concepts, and the other is the high spirit of martial arts and soldiers The status is no longer inferior, the third is strict discipline, the fourth is scientific training, which includes reasonable allocation of physical fitness, diet, and sleep, and the fifth is strict training, such as shooting, drills, standing in line, stacking quilts, and doing In the internal affairs, the sixth is the selection of grassroots officers and the theoretical study of military academies, and the seventh is the standard equipment.
Now for the Qingzhou Army, these seven items have all been satisfied, and this means that the Qingzhou Army has completed its transformation from a feudal cold weapon unit to a hot weapon modern army.
After watching the physical training of the recruits on the school ground for a while, Xiao Ming and Niu rushed to a new recruit camp that was resting. At this time, the soldiers of the recruits were sitting on the ground.
The military commander in dark green uniform is explaining to the recruits what a nation is and what is a country.
The recruit battalion commander Shi saw Xiao Ming and Niu Ben coming over and immediately shouted: "All stand up and salute!"
Under Chang Shi’s order, the recruits immediately got up and saluted Niu Ben and Xiao Ming uniformly. Seeing this, Xiao Ming smiled satisfied. According to Niu Ben’s words, the first thing these recruits entered the camp was to learn to obey. command.
"Go on." Xiao Ming said, he wanted to hear how the long history of the army popularized ideological education for the soldiers.
After the soldiers sat down, the military commander Shi talked about the Hall of Valor. It is a noble thing to be a soldier in words. Death in battle is the most glorious place for a soldier.
Next, the military commander's history recounted the history of Da Yu country being insulted by the barbarians. The soldiers gradually became excited. After all, the brutality of the barbarians was not far away.
After arousing the emotions of the soldiers, Chang Shi sang the Qingzhou Army's battle hymn at the right time, and the soldiers sang along with Chang Shi with their excited faces flushed.
After observing the military chief history's work in the military, Xiao Ming felt relieved. He looked in the direction of Jinling City in the south, and in a few months he would march forward.
Da Yu has suffered too much, and he used his army as a sword to cut away the darkness that enveloped Da Yu.
"His Royal Highness, are you satisfied with the training of this recruit?" Niu Ben smiled as he sent Xiao Ming to the gate of Qingzhou Daying.
"Reluctantly~EbookFREE.me~Xiao Ming didn't want Niu Ben to be too complacent, he reminded: "The only thing that dissatisfied this king is the selection of generals at the grassroots level. You have to strengthen this point. This king saw Bowen Academy. In the list, many generals are after generals. There are still a few generals like Zhu Sansi. After some time, this king will split the military academy from the Bowen academy to expand the training scale of grassroots generals. Choose some outstanding generals with no background to enter the study. "
Niu Ben nodded when he heard the words. It was not that he deliberately gave preferential treatment, but that most of the generals at the grassroots level were illiterate. If you want to enter the academy, you must first read characters. It is for this reason that he selects the first person who can read.
Now that Xiao Ming raised it, he had to explain.
"This reason?" Xiao Ming frowned, and he said, "Well, let these generals literacy work to this king, and this king will teach them literacy himself."
"Yes, Your Highness." Niu Ben was a little envious. These guys could be regarded as smoke on the ancestral grave if King Qi could teach himself.
Xiao Ming has his own considerations for such a laborious effort. If the generals are still in charge in the army, his army will inevitably appear to be in a group of generals. In this way, if such a modern army is mutinous, this is very serious. thing.
