Chapter 217 Assemble the army, practice!(1/2)
On the third day of the first lunar month, all matters basically began to re-enter the track.
In the third year of junior high school, ordinary people go to visit relatives, especially their mother-in-law's home.
However, for the camp at Tiemenguan Beach, there are almost no relatives. Even if the relatives are involved and want to visit relatives, they don’t need to go far, because they are in the camp.
And these days of carefree and happy life also made them understand that if they want to continue to be happy like this, they must work hard.
Xu Changqing also began to select some clever people from the army, the auxiliary soldiers, and among the craftsmen. He gathered up 150 people and set up a new camp on the other side of the church planned by the wharf. It was the school mentioned by Xu Changqing and Johnson Chan before.
They will follow Johnson Choi here to learn basic knowledge of various firearms, all of which are the seeds of the future.
In terms of the army, Xu Changqing selected more than 300 men from the auxiliary soldiers and integrated them into a team of about 1,000 men, eight hundred spearmen and two hundred swords and shields.
A team of 100 people is temporarily formed, with Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Wang Anshan, Mao Qun, Mao Tiecheng, Zhang Hu, Zhao Qiliang and others already being guerrillas. The generals and officials from thousands of households have personally taken it and entered the strictest training mode.
The reason why Xu Changqing chose spearmen was the choice that he made after careful consideration.
Nothing else.
Relatively speaking, spearmen are the cheapest and the best trained troops!
Not only are the army fast, but it is also easier to arrange in terms of formation.
After the children run and exercise every day, they only practice one movement-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Endless assassination!
From twenty steps away, stab at the target!
From thirty steps away, stab at the target!
From fifty steps away, stab at the target!
Everyone, including Xu Changqing, is no exception. They have to practice hundreds of times a day!
This also makes the surrounding people who have nothing to do, just like going to work on time every day, moving a small stool and coming to watch the fun every day.
Xu Changqing did not shy away from them, just caring about water and food, letting them see.
The men were not used to it at first and were a little hesitant, but soon, under the strict military law, they quickly adapted to this rhythm and did not care about the surrounding melon-eating crowds.
Ten days later, I was quite good and I also got to the joints I tested for the first time.
On the large campus, at this time, the men of a team of 1,000 people and ten were in a neat line and heroic manner, and were waiting patiently.
"First row, take the gun!"
"Swish!"
The first test was Zhao Zengjin's first team.
Hearing the officer's order, the first row of thirty-three spearmen were instantly in a posture, holding the gun in front of him, and their spirits were condensed to the limit.
Standing from the perspective of those people who were eating melons, the thirty-three spears completely turned into a straight line, and the sharp spear tips emitted a dazzling light under the warm sunlight.
"Prepare!"
With the officer's order, everyone took half a step forward with their left leg and tightly pressed against the ground, just like the starting position of an 800-meter-long starting position.
"kill!"
"kill!!!"
With the officer's order, the thirty-three people were like a group of hungry wolves who had advanced but not retreated. At the same time, they shouted loudly, and rushed towards the target ahead like the wind.
There were already custodians on both sides of the target counting and immediately reported their results.
"Li Hongfeng, pass! Normal lunch!"
"Zhang Yuchun, excellent! Add three taels of fish for lunch!"
"Mao Hong, failed! Reduce two taels of fish for lunch!"
"Zhang Qun, failed, reduce the fish meat for lunch by 2 taels..."
When we report these achievements one by one, some people are happy and some are sad.
But they didn't have time to think too much, so they hurriedly let the venue open and quickly return to their position.
"Second row, take the gun!"
Not far away, the officer's cold call came over immediately.
On the side, Xu Changqing looked at the test that had already arrived on the track and couldn't help but smile and nod.

.
Even though the excellence rate of the first row is less than 10%, many people are so upset that Xu Changqing is not in a hurry.
It should be noted that the training of the spearmen under Xu Changqing's men is very different from that of ordinary spearmen!
Under Xu Changqing's command, the excellent definition is that you can stab the target's neck at the first time when impacting from thirty steps!
And you need to hit the center of the target's neck, this is excellent!
If the prick is slightly slightly slight but still pricks on the neck, it will only pass.
If you go further and don’t get pierced, it’s unqualified.
Such difficulty can be imagined.
Just like a football game, you watch the goal on TV and you can kick it in, but if you really stand on the football field, especially in the game, you will find that the goal is really small, so small that you can't accept it!
Xu Changqing had never thought about stabbing his chest or abdomen, but the Qing army had extremely high armor rate, and almost everyone had armor, and there was far more than one layer of armor.
This makes it difficult to cause real damage if the spear stabbed the strong armor of the Qing army.
The sharpest and most powerful part of the spearmen is the explosive power of the rushing speed, which is somewhat similar to the cavalry.
If this campaign weakens, then their future fate can be imagined.
Although this kind of training is extremely cruel and seems extremely difficult, everyone present understands that they are all seeds.
As long as you practice well, you will definitely become an officer in the future.
The news that Xu Changqing trained troops for the emperor was no longer a secret at this time.
Not to mention that there is a strict reward and punishment system between excellent people and ordinary people, and those who fail.
People actually have bad habits.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Pretending is the biggest demand of modern people!"
At the core, everyone wants to step on others to prove their excellence.
And this is the best stage.
Xu Changqing even thought about using the twenty-level military merit system in the Qin Dynasty, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing gave up.
At this stage, Xu Changqing does not have enough influence and lacks a large enough territory, so he can only lay a solid foundation first.
Soon, the test was completed by the 100 people under Zhao Zengjin, and the excellence rate was only half.
Next comes the test session of Zhao Zengjin and his two adjutants!
Although Xu Changqing's calibration of the team was still in accordance with the Ming Dynasty's military system, he made some balanced changes.
For example, Zhao Zengjin's first team is nominally a corps, but in fact, Zhao Zengjin is already a guerrilla rank.
But in order not to make the children arrogant, their staffing is still the chief executive.
After Zhao Zengjin, he was the two adjutants of the General Staff of Qian, both of whom were elite soldiers selected from the old army.
Their main responsibility is to assist Zhao Zengjin and other main generals, who are controlled by the main generals, but they also have the right to suggest and certain command power.
In this way, not only can the main general be checked and balanced, but also stand under Xu Changqing's control of the troops. On the battlefield, if the main general is killed, there will be no leader and the establishment will still be maintained.
On this side, Zhao Zengjin and his two adjutants had already picked up their spears and stood on the line.
Ergou played the guest-in-chief officer next to him, and joked with a smile: "Old Zhao, Lao Wang, Mr. Qiang, you three brothers cannot compete with your brothers."
The three of them glanced at Ergou, but ignored it. They soon focused their attention on the spear in their hands and the target in front of them.
Needless to say, Zhao Zengjin is majestic. Although this guy is not tall, his shoulder width is definitely comparable to that of later bodybuilders.
His two adjutants were also tough people with tendons and flesh, each of them looked like iron towers.
Looking from a distance, although they only had three people, their power was even more powerful than the previous row of thirty-three spearmen.
Seeing that he could not harass Zhao Zengjin and others, Ergou no longer held his head high, his face became solemn. After a moment, he shouted at the top of his throat: "Carry the gun!"
"Swish!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhao Zengjin and the other two instantly raised their spears.
The spear in their hands was not the bamboo spear of ordinary soldiers, but the truly qualified white wax gun that was more than two meters long!
This was bought by Xu Changqing from Denglai at a high price.
Unfortunately, there are not many, only less than a hundred shots, so I can only equip the officers first.
