Chapter 26: Quenching training

After everyone put on straw shoes, Marin finally plans to start formal training.
For training, Marin spent several days writing a training outline. Marin in the previous life did not serve as a soldier. The only military-related experience was half a month of military training when he first entered university.
Of course, as a history and military enthusiast, Marin often visits forums to discuss the origins of the modern army-the modern European army. After consulting a lot of information and having many debates with netizens, Marin's European military historical level also rose sharply.
Nothing else to say, the Spanish matrix must know. Others, such as the Morris Square, the Gustav Line, and Napoleon's artillery tactics, all know a little.
If possible, Marin would like to use Napoleon's tactics. But that is unrealistic. You know, European artillery is still in the era of bronze artillery. Equipped with a bronze cannon, the cost is very high. Because the current price of European silver and copper is about 1:15, and the price of copper is too high. A head of silk like Marin cannot afford a small copper cannon, let alone line hundreds of cannons like Napoleon.
Alas, let alone Napoleon's artillery tactics, even Gustav's lineup was unconditional. Because, the Gustav lineup used a lot of musketeers and was a flintlock musketeer.
At the moment, the flintlock has not yet been invented. Even the rifle is just invented for decades and is still a rare thing. It's really difficult to get a few rows of Musketeers.
Moreover, in the 15th century Europe, iron smelting technology was very bad, and it was more difficult to make a light and powerful gun. Because if the steel technology is not enough, if the barrel is too thin, it will be easy to blast.
Even in the 16th century, when the Spanish square began to rise, the Spaniards used the 20-pound Muskite musket. In addition to the powerful Muskite musket, its bulky barrel is not easy to blast, which is also an important reason.
As far as the German region is concerned, although some hunters have started to use muskets for hunting, in order to prevent the bombardment, they dare not refill too much gunpowder, resulting in average power.
In other words, Marin can't find a few qualified muskets now, and it is also a dream to build a musket lineup. Therefore, Marin thought about it. Since there is no condition, let's train the spear square first, and stab the Swiss ...
The spear phalanx demands high discipline and courage. In terms of courage, Marin is not worried. The people he recruited were a second group of people who dare to exchange their lives for money. But he was a little worried about discipline.
As a result, he began to train the 80 scams with the queue training during military training at the university. To say that they are scams is just an adjective that Marin despised them before. But after actually starting the queue training, Marin felt that they were praised for calling them fakes. Saying they are stupid is the true and reasonable adjective ...
"Everyone has it, look to the left!" Marin sighed.
之后 But the situation later made Marin very crazy, a "aligned to the left" caused confusion. Some people look to the left and some people look to the right. Then, the people in the team started to "Eye Affectionately" with each other. Someone who is not confident sees the opposite direction of the people around him and immediately changes direction. But sadly, many people started to look in the right direction, but turned around and looked to the right under the misdirection of the people around them ...
I was even more tragic about steering training. When Marin yelled "turn left", it was also a mess. Someone turned left and someone turned right, the scene was noisy. Someone saw the opposite direction of the people around them, so they turned back 180 degrees again, it was so funny ...
"Nima, are you fools, right?" Marin was angry, but everyone looked at him blankly ...
Marin was also defeated. Turning left and right is a simple password. Few of his classmates made mistakes before. Why are you here in this group of fakes?
But Marin himself didn't want to think about it. His former classmates were all college students with high IQ. Not to mention college students, even junior high school students and high school students are also cultural people who have received compulsory education. In physical education, elementary schools began to teach simple queues.
How about these gangsters in the Middle Ages? Basically illiterate, no one can teach them to distinguish. They were born humble, and could only work like slaves. And the nobles regarded them as animals that walked on two feet without even looking at them.
So, these gangsters whose brains have not been developed can distinguish between left and right. They are definitely talented ...
After training for three days in a row, many people still can't tell the difference. Even though Marin used the corporal punishment of the army whip, it was not very effective.
Marin was so anxious to vomit blood, seeing that the emperor's second recruiting time was not too long. If he did not train well, he would have no chance at all ...
Finally, one day, while Marin was blowing a birch whistle, he saw a who hurried to gather, probably too hastily, and his right foot didn't even have time to wear shoes, so he ran to gather.
穿 "Wear a shoe ..." Marin began to muse, as if he had seen this happen ...
"By the way, isn't the British 'Red Shirt' using a shoe to help recruits to distinguish between the left and right!" Marin was excited. In the past, he seemed to have mentioned in the forum that in the 19th century, the quality of British soldiers was also very bad. At the beginning of training, many recruits couldn't tell the difference. In order for the recruits to distinguish between the left and right, someone later came up with a way to get the recruits to take off their right foot shoes and only let the left foot wear shoes. In this way, when training, turn left and shout "shoes", and turn right and shout "foot". So the recruits quickly distinguished between them. After that, slowly replace the "shoes" and "foot" passwords with left and right.
In fact, until the early 19th century, the British literacy rate was also very low. Basically, those recruits who had been forced over were illiterate. Those who can read, as long as they perform well, are mostly military officers and non-commissioned officers. Uneducated people tend to be a bit sluggish in listening to passwords, making it difficult to distinguish immediately. In other words, the British recruits in the first half of the 19th century and the medieval novice mercenaries were of similar quality.
Sure enough, after getting everyone to take off one of the shoes, the situation immediately improved a lot. After all, if you wear shoes, you can tell if it's not dementia.
But there is also a problem here, that is, it is a bit cold in winter and bare feet are very uncomfortable.
For this reason, Marin took everyone to a sheltered valley and spread a lot of hay on the ground to prevent everyone from freezing their feet. Moreover, everyone's right foot is not considered barefoot, Marin asked them to wear double socks. Not only that, left-right training is also generally performed during the day when the temperature is high. Other times, I train with shoes. For example, when it ’s cold in the morning and evening, everyone trains for running to improve their physical fitness.
I was like this, after a few days, the fools finally cleared all the left and right parts. After clarifying the left and right, Marin began to train simple steps such as walking, turning left, and turning right while trying to replace the "shoes" and "foot" passwords with "left" and "right" as much as possible.

After a while, Marin took time every day to let Schwartz, who is better at spears, train everyone on how to use spears. Originally, Schwartz was going to teach everyone a lot of spear fighting skills and simple tactics. However, Marin only asked everyone to train the three simple moves of "pick", "pick" and "stab".
"Master, why is this?" Schwartz was puzzled.
"In the army, please call me head." Marin looked serious.
"Okay, head, why is this?"
"Schwartz, the tactical explanations you said, do these guys understand?"
这个 "This ..." Schwartz thought for a while, then shook his head.
"So, with their brains, they can't remember so many tricks. We might as well teach them the three basic routines. Moreover, fighting depends on battle formations, not personal martial arts." Marin has seen many posts and articles. of. He knew that for those soldiers with low intelligence, they would not be too complicated. After all, they are not soldiers who have generally received nine years of compulsory education in future generations. Therefore, teaching them the most basic and simplest practical actions is the best choice.
为了 In order to cultivate the brave thoughts of soldiers, Marin brainwashed the soldiers every day. Every day, during training, Marin yells:
"Meet on a narrow road-"
"The brave wins! The brave wins!" The soldiers shouted in unison, whoever didn't shout was a whip.
In this way, in daily training, Marin used the phrase
the narrow way meets the brave to win
, which Liu Shuai liked to say, as the slogan and purpose of the
Huffman Mercenary Corps
. Of course, it is translated into German.
