Steel Dynasty - Chapter 592

[Chapter 592 Recruit Training]

PS: Two chapters will be updated first, and there will be four chapters in the evening.

“Your Highness, the total number of recruits recruited from the six states this time is 20,000. After all, the number of young and middle-aged people in the six states is limited, but relatively speaking, Pengzhou, Yangzhou, There are a lot of soldiers in Huaizhou and Tongzhou. Lu Fei said that there are 10,000 recruits in Pengzhou alone. Including the recruits in Huaizhou, the total is about 25,000. Ye Qingyun reported that the number of recruits was even more than Lu Fei Some, a total of 30,000 people.”

In the camp of Qingzhou Camp, Niu Ben reported the recruitment matters during this period to Xiao Ming.

“Seventy-five thousand people!” Xiao Ming was a little surprised when he heard this. This number had exceeded his expectation. After all, the new recruits joined the army voluntarily and not by force.

Niu Ben nodded, with a proud look on his face, and said: “We lost 3,000 soldiers in this battle in Wei. Now that these soldiers have been replaced, the feudal army has a total of 160,000 people, including 10 infantrymen.” “Ten thousand

people, 40,000 cavalry, and 20,000 chariots.”

“Sixteen thousand people, well, the annual military salary is close to two million taels, and this does not include the money consumed by the horses and equipment.” Xiao Ming sighed. He said with a breath, if it weren’t for the war, he really wouldn’t want to maintain such a huge military strength. The number of new recruits recruited this time could almost catch up with the number of veterans before.

Niu Ben said: “Your Highness, the number of our soldiers is not that large. According to the general’s understanding, now the kings of Wei, Yan, Liang, and Zhao are recruiting soldiers. Some even directly recruit strong men to join the army. Now the world Who wouldn’t want to conquer the world with a large army in chaos? “

“What you said is correct, but these feudal kings have made people angry by seizing strong men. I cannot imitate them. A stable rear is the foundation of conquest, and the soldiers are expensive. Guido, the number of troops has reached the number that the king has in mind, and the four states now captured can support these 75,000 people.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Niu Ben said.

“Also, you must not relax when recruiting these new soldiers. You must train them as rigorously as you train the Qingzhou Army.” Xiao Ming said.

“Your Highness, if you can’t do this, you might as well go back to farming.” Niu Ben laughed a few times, then he pointed to the school field outside and said: “Your Highness, please see, those are the new recruits who are being trained. According to the training manual “When these recruits first enter the military camp, they must first train their physical strength, endurance and discipline. When they are strong and able to strictly abide by discipline, they will then enter musket loading and shooting training.”

Xiao Ming looked outside. , beckoning Niu Ben to walk to the school field with him to observe the training of these recruits.

Different from the traditional training methods of soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom, Xiao Ming’s army now belongs to the modern army, so the training and subjects are naturally different from those of the feudal army.

Because of this, recruits do not start training in battle formation immediately after entering the army, but first start physical training. After all, if a soldier has no strength, his survival rate on the battlefield is still very low.

Just now Niu Ben has made it very clear in the camp. Generally speaking, training a feudal army into a modern army requires several requirements. One is the modern national concept and national concept, and the other is a high martial spirit. The soldiers’ The status is no longer lowly. The third is strict discipline. The fourth is scientific training, which includes reasonable allocation of physical energy, diet, and sleep. The fifth is strict drills, such as shooting, drills, standing in line, folding quilts, and doing For internal affairs, the sixth one is the selection of grassroots officers and theoretical study in military schools, and the seventh one is standard equipment.

Now for the Qingzhou Army, these seven conditions have been met, which means that the Qingzhou Army has completed the transformation from a feudal cold-weapon army to a hot-weapon modern army.

After observing the physical training of the recruits on the school grounds for a while, Xiao Ming and Niu ran towards a recruit camp where they were resting. At this time, the soldiers in the recruit camp were sitting on the ground.

And the army commander Shi, who was wearing a dark green military uniform, was explaining to the recruits what a nation and a country are.

When the recruit battalion commander Shi saw Xiao Ming and Niu running over, he immediately shouted: “Everyone stand up and salute!”

Under the command of the commander, the recruits immediately stood up and saluted Niu Ben and Xiao Ming uniformly. Seeing this, Xiao Ming Showing a satisfied smile, according to Niu Ben’s words, the first thing these recruits do when they enter the camp is to learn to obey orders.

“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, Army Commander Shi talked about the Hall of Valor, saying that being a soldier was a noble thing, and dying on the battlefield was the most glorious place for a soldier.

Next, the commander of the army, Shi, told the history of Dayu being bullied by the barbarians. The soldiers gradually became excited. After all, the atrocities of the barbarians were not far away from them at all.

After arousing the emotions of the soldiers, Chang Shi sang the Qingzhou Army’s war song at the right time. The soldiers’ faces turned red with excitement and they sang along with Chang Shi.

Xiao Ming felt relieved after observing the work of Lieutenant Commander Shi in the army. He looked south in the direction of Jinling City. In a few months, he would march forward.

The country of Dayu has suffered too much. He used the army in his hand as a sharp sword to cut away the darkness that shrouded the country of Dayu.

“Your Highness, are you satisfied with the training of this recruit?” Niu Ben said with a smile as he sent Xiao Ming to the gate of Qingzhou Camp.

“Just do it.” Xiao Ming didn’t want Niu Ben to be too complacent. He reminded: “The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is the selection of grassroots generals. You need to strengthen this point. I looked at the list in Bowen Academy. There are many After the generals are all generals, there are still a few generals like Zhu Sansi. In a few days, I will separate the Military Academy from Bowen Academy to expand the training scale of grassroots generals. This time you choose more people with no background. Excellent generals enter the academy to study.”

Niu Ben nodded when he heard this. It was not that he deliberately gave preferential treatment, but that most of the generals at the grassroots level were illiterate. In order to enter the academy, they had to learn to read first. It was for this reason that he decided to learn how to read first. Choose the character.

Now that Xiao Ming brought it up, he had to explain.

“This is the reason?” Xiao Ming frowned and said, “Let’s leave these generals’ literacy matters to me, and I will teach them how to read myself.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Niu Ben was a little envious. These guys can let King Qi teach in person, which is like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.

Xiao Ming naturally has his own considerations for working so hard. If these generals from the generals are still in power in the army, his army will inevitably have generals clumping together. In this way, if such a modern army mutinies, this will be very serious. matter.
