Chapter 250 Recruits
Chapter 250 New Soldiers
There are two extra tracks on the pier, leading to various warehouses outside the pier, and the farthest one arrives at Zhangjiazhuang. This is a new attempt made by Chen Xie. It seems that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty did these things at all. The only difference is that they do not have steam locomotives, and they can only use pack horses to pull the carts. These changes were arranged by Chen Xie before he left. The two tracks were flat in the middle, and two horses could be run in a flat row.
The wheels are made of iron, with bearings on them, and the frames are also iron. In order to reduce weight, the car board is covered with iron sheets, and the body is also treated in this way. It cannot be ignored that the craftsmen in the morning are too awesome and have done their best under limited conditions.
When Chen Xie left, the track had not yet been built to Zhangjiazhuang. When he set foot on the Ming Dynasty again, the first phase of the track project was completed. Standing on the dock, he looked at the young and strong man from Liaodong who was using a simple pulley to lift the bulky cargo onto the truck, and then pulled the cart to the warehouse. Only one coachman on the road was enough, which greatly saved labor and improved efficiency a lot. These scrap steel rails that were about to be sent back to the furnace in modern society were purchased at the price of cabbage in the name of a small steel factory, and then transported to the Ming Dynasty for the second spring. The only worry was that these steel rails would be stolen.
It is obvious that in today's Dengzhou, no one will take such a risk. Once caught, the government does not need to come forward. Those gentry who are in charge of Chen Xie's interests can use the rights of the clan to deal with these thieves miserably.
Dengzhou is now such a weirdo. The pillar industry in the past was agriculture, and the pillar industry now was industry and commerce. The most popular saying is: How many silver dollars can you only need to farm?
After years of bumper harvest, the price of grain in Dengzhou cannot rise. If a merchant wants to purchase a large amount of grain from Dengzhou and sell it to other places, you can tell what the consequences will be. If you go by land, you don’t have any cards from Dengzhou camp everywhere, and there are no prefectures and counties. Once you find that the grain leaves the county, there are no grain purchase certificates issued by the government, you can directly deduct the grain and cut off the charge of a Tongluo. By sea, the docks in Denglai are controlled by Dengzhou camp. The serious grain merchant can do is go to the Dengzhou Governor's Office to apply for grain purchase certificates, and then buy "high-priced" grain from the local official warehouse. The profits of trafficking are not high, but you can barely earn some.
Dengzhou Camp is definitely supported by the governments in various places. Just one official warehouse will give out grain, and any level of government will applaud. In this case, the benefits are all for everyone. Whoever dares to do anything randomly is not the one who offends it, but the entire Dengzhou officialdom.
Chen Xie is becoming more and more skilled in the trick of tying various relationships together through interests. The increasing prosperity of industry and commerce brings huge benefits, no longer need to be promoted by Chen Xie. The most basic reaction of the gentry landlords with extra money is to take the initiative to find opportunities to do it. All kinds of black-hearted factories are like mushrooms after a rain, breeding on the land of Dengzhou.
There are many people working on the dock. Chen Xie and Liu Qing stayed on the dock for a while before leaving. Now they all do their own duties. Even Liu Qing has no need to be respectful for everything. There is a dedicated person in charge of transportation, a dedicated person in charge of the warehouse, and a dedicated person in charge of supervision and inspection.
Just by simply touching each other, Chen Xie and Liu Qing went their separate ways and were busy with their own things. Chen Xie's destination was the cannon fodder camp, which was relatively speaking. Wang Qinian, who was in charge of the training of the recruits, had already given orders. When each checkpoint saw Chen Xie's carriage appear, he immediately hung a banner. So as soon as Chen Xie's carriage stopped, he opened the car door. He said very terriblely: "Welcome to Master."
When Chen Xie saw his face, he knew that he had something to say. After getting off the car, he walked in slowly and said as he walked: "What do you have to say? Hurry up!" Wang Qinian smiled and said, "Master, these recruits have been in charge for almost half a year. I feel that there is a small problem, please correct me."
Chen Xie said lightly: "I'm very busy and I don't have time to listen to you flattering me."
Wang Qinian immediately said: "The configuration of the spearmen in Yishui is too single. The small ones think it is better to do this. 6,000 new recruits are divided into 12 infantry teams, each team of 500 people. Each team of 6 teams is a single infantry battalion. Each battalion has two cross spearmen teams, two spearmen teams, one sword and shield team, and one musketeer team. If possible, add one artillery team and configure the artillery with the longest range to mainly suppress the opponent's artillery. In this way, the configuration is more reasonable. Once you go to battle, auxiliary troops can be recruited as logistics. The small ones believe that a single stud with such equipment can compete with the Later Jin Power Brigade one-on-one."
Chen Xie looked at him with a smile. When Wang Qinian was looking at him, Chen Xie said, "Just do it like this. Let's take me to see your training results."
This was a new military camp, built according to the training requirements of 3,000 people. When the sentries on the tower rang the bell hard, the scattered barracks sounded the clamor for emergency assembly. In less than twenty minutes, six fully armed teams stood on the huge playground. Each team had five hundred people, no matter how many officers were counted, not counting officers, but three thousand people.
Chen Xie turned over the horse and said, "Go to the training ground." The training ground was on the beach, within a huge range surrounded by barbed wire, Chen Xie on the horse's back looked at the soldiers in the drill queue with expressionless face. There was not a smooth road ahead of the marching, there were rocky beaches filled with pebbles, simulated fields full of mud, and a large pond of 1.5 meters deep. It took great pains to use this training ground to clean up these new recruits.
What is a military order? The military order is like a mountain. With a command, you have to break through the sea of swords and fires. Any hesitation will be punished the most severely, not for your life, but it will definitely be miserable. The phenomenon of deserters has also happened before, but it will definitely be a punishment that is worse than death when caught.
The neat team walked past the dirt slope one by one. The boss Chen Xie on the slope, holding a telescope, watched the team of recruits pass by without any expression on his face. He praised him, there was a rocky beach ahead, no one dared to hesitate, no order to stop moving forward, and he would even leave with a tough bullet. If you sprain your ankle, you are not lucky. As long as your legs are not broken, you have to keep going.
There was a mud pit ahead, and it was still moving forward. The big-headed shoe was trampled in the mud pit, which made me feel distressed. But no one dared to complain. It seemed that more than four months had passed when someone complained. That guy was said to be digging coal in a coal mine. He got up early every day, took off naked, and dug coal deep in the coal mine. Compared with the military camp, it was pig food. If he didn't work hard, the supervisor's whip would fall down and beat him. The punishment for that guy was to dig coal for half a year, and he could go back to the military camp without dying. If he died, he was not lucky. Who knew where to bury it.
There is a pond ahead, and the team is still moving forward. Don’t think that the recruits who fell in rocky beaches and mud pits are free. The law enforcement team in black uniforms are eyeing each other, and one who can’t get up by himself, pulling down his pants and hitting them with a splash. The earlier the fall, the more military sticks you eat. There are six thousand people here, and none of them have never eaten military sticks. The biggest venting channel for these new recruits who are tortured by yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu hu yu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu hu yu yu hu yu hu yu yu hu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu hu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu yu yu yu hu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu yu
These new recruits are not from good families, and many of them are deserters from Liaodong. When they arrive in the military camp, even the naughty soldiers and gangsters are punished and obeyed. This is the most cruel thing in modern army. Military discipline does not allow any resistance and must be implemented resolutely. This is also the only magic weapon to win war. Without this one, what is the army?
I eat well and wear well. I have two days off every month. When I recruited soldiers, the conditions I offered were fulfilled one by one. However, this military camp was still regarded as a hellish existence by some soldiers. On the territory of Dengzhou, the worst thing is deserters. Once I discovered that there was only one fate, I took shackles and threw them into a coal mine, and I would never think of it for my whole life.
After crossing the rocky beach, the mud pond, and the pond, the war roar finally rang. Turn around and return the same way. The most terrifying thing is this pond. Wearing a dozen pounds of aluminum alloy half-body armor and a helmet, walking in the water, you can fall down if you accidentally. At this time, your comrades around you are allowed to rescue. The mud pond and rocky beach are not allowed.
With just one round trip, when the order was finally stopped, everyone was exhausted and paralyzed. But they still had to stand up straight. If they accidentally fell down, they would appear like evil ghosts, and pull out the queue and be beaten with a military stick.
"There are thirty-eight soldiers left behind." The military judge said without any help. These people survived on the battlefield, but were also disabled. Chen Xie raised them and married them to settle their family. They were Chen Xie's most loyal subordinates.
"No, very good. I'm passing my order. On a day off, each person will be rewarded with a silver ball, and the officers will be rewarded with double the silver." Chen Xie left a sentence and rode his horse slowly. He looked expressionless, but he felt very happy. If the recruits can practice like this, they will probably not be much worse when they go to the battlefield in the future. When Chen Xie walked away, he heard the thunder cheers coming from behind.
When he left the barracks and was walking normally on the avenue, he saw a four-wheeled carriage slowly coming. It was not difficult to recognize it when he approached. It was Ying Niang's carriage. Chen Xie tied the horse and showed a smile. Ying Niang didn't get off the carriage either, but just opened the door: "Master, there are a few letters from Nanjing. There are also letters from the capital."
Chen Xie turned over and got off the horse, threw the reins to Han Shan, the guard captain beside him, and got on the carriage. The carriage turned on its spot, and the guard immediately responded, protecting the carriage, galloping towards Dengzhou.r1152
