Chapter 83 Fierce Soldiers and Horses
(The third update! A man with a big belly keeps his word! Our slogan is: "We must turn red votes into our habit of reading!"
Outside Fanjiabao, the command was practiced at this time. A team of recruits were ordered by their officers, constantly doing various queues or assassinations, and from time to time there were shocking shouts.
Of course, there is also the roar of the officers' scolding, and the screams of some disappointing guys being pressed to the ground and beaten. In short, after a series of bitter discussions and ample food supply, the enthusiasm of more than 200 recruits has also been mobilized. A very hard-working monitor followed their monitor to learn various queues and killing moves.
At the same time, in order to improve the training enthusiasm of these guys, Xiao Tianjian also launched rewards and punishments. Every afternoon, everyone gather outside the castle, and then conducts a short exercise to practice the subjects practiced that day one by one, so as to test the effect of each team.
Any class platoon whose training results do not meet the requirements will be punished for doing 50 stands-up or jumping around the field. At the same time, they will have to deduct part of their food at night. At least there is no meat to eat, and they don't even have to think about broth.
For those platoons with good training effect, they will be rewarded with extra meals that night, and the meat and broth deducted from the poor training classes will be given to these well-trained platoons to distinguish the training results.
He even made a few red flags and black flags. Anyone who has a good training result on the first day can play a red flag in their team the next day. If the training effect is poor, he can only carry the black flag. This is to imitate the method he used to participate in military training and mobilize people's enthusiasm for training as much as possible.
As a result, as soon as this reward and punishment measure is launched, it immediately has a strong response. People are not ordinary animals. People have a sense of shame. No one wants to be at the bottom and let people see their jokes. What's more, the training results are directly linked to their food. Who doesn't want to eat more good food!
So these guys immediately set off a big training craze. The platoons of each other are competing with each other openly and secretly. If you practice assassination a thousand times today, I will practice 1,200 times. If you practice 1,200 times, I will practice 1,500 times... In short, no one wants to be at the bottom. Not only will they be punished, but also if there is no delicious food. The next day, the whole team carried out the black flag to exercise. In this way, the training effect was much better. It was originally planned to complete the training subjects in three days, but the result was often that they could basically meet the requirements in a day. Such rewards and punishments had the effect of doing twice the result with half the effort, which made Xiao Tianjian laugh secretly. Eyes.
Xiao Tianjian has also improved his command during the war. In the past, he personally shouted the command to command his subordinates, but after these two actual combat tests, Xiao Tianjian found that there was a big problem in doing so. He could not shout the command all the time. After such a battle, he shouted so much that his throat was smoking. It is also often necessary to interrupt the password and issue new commands, which is easy to make the subordinates confused and prone to confusion.
And in the past, there were dozens of people under him, and shouting the password could still deal with it, but now there are more and more people under him. If he still uses the previous method, I'm afraid it won't be enough for him to shout his throat, so shouting the password alone is not enough to support him to command the battle.
This matter is very important, and its importance even exceeds everything. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian also paid great attention to this matter when he was busy with other things, so he began to think about how to replace a single voice command with other things to solve the problem. The problem of directing subordinates.
Originally, he also wanted to get the bagpipes and drums used by the modern Western army, but where can I get bagpipes that are unique to the West? Even if there is, who will use it! Xiao Tianjian thought of the common military name in the army of later generations, but there is no place to do this thing, and no one can use it, so there is only what he can find!
In ancient wars, they commanded the army to command the army with flags, horns and war drums. At present, Xiao Tianjian can only use flags and ready-made waist drums and suona.
Regarding the issue of flags, Xiao Tianjian has actually considered it for a long time. He can't always let people call their group of people Xiao poles! Even the pole needs to have a name, at least let people remember their name quickly. The problem of this flag involves his future development, so Xiao Tianjian has been thinking about this matter. He has not only considered this matter, but even some of his subordinates have thought of this problem and asked Xiao Tianjian. It is proposed to ask Xiao Tianjian to give them a loud name to boost morale.
In the past, Xiao Tianjian had few subordinates, and this matter was not very urgent, but now that his men have more and more hands, this matter seems to be a little urgent. A name is very important. A good name will make the people gathered together more cohesive, so that they can have a sense of belonging and centripetal force, as long as the flag If the number is still there, the team will not be easy to disperse, and people will feel that there is a backbone,
Not to mention that when Lin Zi grows up, there are naturally all kinds of birds. There are really people who have played drummers under him. In this era of weddings and funerals, drummers are often invited to make a lot of noise. Naturally, there are such professions among the people. They either play suona or beat drums and gongs, but over the years Ordinary people are bankrupt one by one, and the problem of eating can't be solved. Except for large families, who has the ability to hire such a drummer?
So the drummer was completely unemployed. No one used this skill left, and ordinary people could not live. Naturally, they could only be free people. Now there are several such drummers under Xiao Tianjian.
So Xiao Tianjian immediately gathered them together and turned out a few suona, waist drums and so on in Fanjiabao and gave them to them for rehearsal.
As soon as these drummers saw these things, they were interested. They copied the guys and played it one by one. For a moment, they made Fan Jiabao as lively as a happy event, which made the people who were practicing look side by one by one. The originally serious practice suddenly became a little messy, which made the squad leaders. They all pulled their throats and scolded their men, so that they could concentrate on their practice.
Xiao Tianjian also heard the performance of these drummers in a mess, so he quickly stopped.
"Don't beat around! I know you all have this ability, but I don't need you to show off like this. Let me tell you, you just need to show me the simplest craft! This drum beat must be beat rhythmically. If the drum sound is to make the brothers step on the drum beat, everyone must step on the drum beat to act, and the speed will follow the drum beat!
As for Suona's music, I don't listen to it. Just make a few songs and make it as simple as possible! I'm of great use! ......
That's all. Give me one by one!" Xiao Tianjian stood in front of several showy guys and shouted to them.
So these people had to give up showing off their skills, took out a few good tunes one by one, played as simple a tune as possible, and played them out for Xiao Tianjian to listen.
To put it easy to say about drummers, the most indispensable thing in Shaanxi is the waist drum. As long as the drummers can beat the drums rhythmically, so that the soldiers can step on the drums and move forward.
And there are many suona's tunes. After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian was still dizzy. Finally, he simply selected some of them from the tunes one by one, and then defined these tunes as: wake-up number, assembly number, emergency assembly number, light-out number, closing number, meal number, rest number, charge number and so on. What is the meaning of the tune of each suona temporarily fixed, which can be regarded as a temporary solution to this problem.
After finalizing this matter, Xiao Tianjian sent a drummer to each platoon, specializing in beating drums to replace the command of the officers with drums and control the pace of his soldiers.
The suona hand is used as a clerk, staying with him to listen to his orders, and then follow his instructions and play various tones to convey his orders.
And let all his men repeatedly listen to the suona and play various tones before resting at night, and learn to distinguish the commands from these tones, so that they don't know what to say when they listen to the suona in the future.
In the past few days, under Xiao Tianjian's recruitment flag, Shi Ran and others spread the news far away. Every day, they constantly brought back some young and strong stiles they selected from the outside. There were also some swish people who got the news and fled on their own, because Xiao Tianjian was not sure where he would go in the future. Zhan, so at present, he only recruits singles, and does not recruit people who drag their families, unless they are skilled people, such as blacksmiths, carpenters and cobblers, they can bring their families back. The rest of the people only need those bachelors, and the youngest of these newly recruited exiles is fifteen or sixteen years old, the most The eldest is not more than 30 years old. Among the recruited people, the basic requirement is that they are physically strong, and the people who can live to the present are basically stronger people, so as long as they are fed a few meals, they can immediately devote themselves to the training.
In a few days, he recruited more than 200 subordinates. These people were immediately temporarily integrated into the convoy, so that the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader of the two convoys suddenly had nearly 300 men, and the top two companies were formed. The two busy military officers were as big as three at the head. It was just the new collection of the group. The soldiers asked the two of them to be busy with each other. They had no choice but to complain to Xiao Tianjian and ask Xiao Tianjian to allocate a few more people for them to relieve their pressure.
Xiao Tianjian also scratched his head about this situation. In a few days, his men increased several times at once. The useful officers were not enough. The veterans were reluctant to pull out of the ranks of the soldiers. These people were the backbone of the soldiers. Taking out a veteran, the soldiers lost their strength, so he could only The army picked out a few unqualified soldiers in the army, and threw them to the two platoon leaders to make do with them. At least, the training level of the soldiers was much higher than that of the soldiers, and it was okay to temporarily act as a squad leader.
At present, his strength has expanded to 220 soldiers, more than 300 soldiers, and a small number of women and children, the number is close to 600, so he quickly stopped the plan to continue recruiting the exile.
