Chapter 73 Discipline
Zhao Heng divided the fifty men into five groups according to their size. The soldiers in each group were of similar height to avoid confusion caused by different footstep widths during the march.
Zhao Heng's five Vajra men who had undergone initial training naturally became platoon leaders. Each of these five guys, Zhang Guozhu, was in charge of ten people, and each one was as energetic as a man. Sure enough, promotion is the best aphrodisiac for men.
After the grouping was completed, Zhao Heng glanced at Mao Shaohong next to him, reached out and called Zhang Guozhu, who was giving training to the new recruits, and said: "Zhang Guozhu, this is the new recruit Mao Shaohong, and he will be incorporated into your platoon!"
Zhang Guozhu didn't know that the fat man in front of him was the commander's son. After saluting, he brought Mao Shaohong into the team. Because Mao Shaohong was only eighteen years old and obviously shorter than the other ten people in the platoon, he was put into the team by Zhang Guozhu.
at last.
Zhao Heng saw that the groups were completed and shouted: "Assemble!"
The five Zhang Guozhu men were all experienced. After hearing Zhao Heng's order, they quickly came to stand in front of Zhao Heng, but the fifty-one people could not do it. They saw their platoon leader running to stand in front, and some of them followed the platoon leader and ran over.
They imitated the platoon leader's behavior and stood at the back. There were still some people standing there in confusion, not knowing what to do next.
The appearance of these new recruits made Zhang Guozhu and the other five blush very much. They hit and kicked them one after another. It took them ten minutes to finally collect their men, and they stood in five twisted rows in front of Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng looked at the messy formation in front of him and sighed in his heart, but he was not discouraged. Every strong army starts from this time.
After the soldiers calmed down, Zhao Heng said: "Hello everyone, I am the eldest son of the Zhao family, but you can't call me eldest son. You must call me sir at all times and salute at the same time!"
After Zhao Heng finished speaking, he made a salute gesture. These recruits had never seen this kind of etiquette. A group of guys started whispering underneath, but they were immediately kicked by the platoon leader next to them, and they quickly stopped talking.
"From today on, you are no longer ordinary people. You are members of my Zhao family's servant team!"
The Jia Ding Team is also the product of Zhao Heng and Zhao Fuxiang's discussion. According to Zhao Heng's intention, it should be called the New Army. However, Zhao Fuxiang is afraid that this name will attract the attention of the government. After all, he is currently weak and cannot fight against the government. Zhao Heng has no choice but to
Compromise to reality, but Zhao Fuxiang doesn't care about the training and organization of the servant team, and listens to Zhao Heng in everything.
"Your responsibility is to protect the safety of the Zhao family's property. From today on, your lives belong to the Zhao family! But please don't worry, the Zhao family will not treat you badly. There are three dry meals a day, and meat and fish dishes at noon and evening. In addition to these, you will also be paid every month.
There are seven denarii of eclipse money!”
The temptation of being able to have a full meal is too great. As for life or death, it is still far away anyway. Let’s focus on the present first!
Hearing that in addition to having enough food to eat, one of the soldiers asked boldly: "Master, no! Sir! Do you really get seven coins a month?"
After seeing Zhao Heng nod, the soldier asked again: "Is it enough? You won't get only half, right?"
Zhao Heng smiled and said: "Let me tell you first, your platoon leader will get one or two silver dollars a month. In the future, he may become a company commander and battalion commander. The money will double during the lunar eclipse. You said they would do it for you?"
Did you make a mistake with a few coins and lose your position? Also, the monthly eclipse money is not given by your platoon leader, I will send it directly to you, so you can rest assured!"
These soldiers were relieved when they heard that the money was directly given to them by the young master of the Zhao family without passing through the hands of outsiders.
Zhao Heng changed his voice and said: "Since you have taken my Zhao family's money, you must listen to my Zhao family! There are various family laws in the servant team. If you violate it, don't blame me for being cruel!"
When you get money, you have to be obedient. These soldiers all know the rules, so they all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, today is the first day, let's start with physical training!"
After saying that, Zhao Heng led the team and started running along the playground for the first training of the recruit training, a five-kilometer cross-country run. Of course, these guys are very weak now and cannot run five kilometers. Zhao Heng will run five kilometers.
It was shortened to three kilometers. But these guys couldn't hold on. Within two laps, some people started to fall behind, and some people started to slip up and deliberately pretended to be sick and stopped to rest.
Zhao Heng was well prepared to deal with this situation. The five platoon leaders took out the prepared wooden sticks and dealt a blow to the unlucky ones who were lying down to rest. Of course, the force was not very heavy, but no one wanted to get hit for no reason.
A few sticks, so these guys got up from the ground one by one and continued running with the large army.
According to the standards of later generations of armies, a five-kilometer cross-country run of 23 minutes is considered a pass. These guys only ran three kilometers, and they all ran more than 30 minutes, which made Zhang Guozhu's five platoon leaders very embarrassed. However, Zhao Heng did not say that
What, these guys are running for the first time, and at the same time they were all refugees who had no food to eat a few days ago. It would be good if they can persevere. As for failing to pass the time, they can't be too harsh.
Zhao Heng stood at the finish line and watched these guys fall to the ground one by one to rest. The clothes of the Ming Dynasty were not suitable for a lot of exercise. In addition, these guys didn't have much clothes on them, so many of their pants came off.
Some guys even lost their shoes. They were as embarrassed as they were. What surprised Zhao Heng was that Mao Shaohong persisted. Although Mao Shaohong was wearing a long gown and his shoes were ordinary cloth shoes, this guy couldn't stand the whole journey.
It's quite embarrassing, but at least the clothes are still there, unlike other refugees.
Zhao Heng nodded secretly. It seemed that Mao Shaohong's physical fitness played a role. Although Mao Shaohong did not undergo much exercise, he had never been hungry since he was born. His physical fitness was much better than that of the refugees who were about to starve to death.
.
When the last refugee crossed the finish line, Zhao Heng looked at his watch and said, "I'll give you ten minutes to rest. We'll go eat later!"
In the past, Zhao Heng and the others only had six people, so they always went to the big canteen to eat. But now that there are so many new soldiers, it is not appropriate to go to the big canteen to eat. After all, these new soldiers eat much better than the workers every day.
Zhao Heng asked his mother to assign three village women in their forties as cooks, and set up a large pot next to the new army's barracks to prepare meals for the new army.
By this time, the food was ready, and the smell of the rice had already aroused the greed of these soldiers. Some of the fast runners had already rested, and when they smelled the food, they didn't care about anything else, and swarmed in.
He went to the cafeteria, grabbed the rice shovel from the cook's hand and started to eat. One guy was even more hateful. When he saw the salted fish steaming in the big pot, he was not afraid of burning it. He grabbed one and started squatting on the ground to chew it.
Zhao Heng frowned when he saw this, and shouted to Zhang Guozhu and the other five: "Zhang Guozhu, organize the team!"
After receiving the order, the five people picked up the sticks in their hands and rushed over and began to beat them violently. Several shrewd refugees quickly ran out of the cafeteria tent. Two unlucky refugees were knocked down by Zhang Guozhu and rolled on the ground screaming for help!
This beating shocked other refugees who wanted to run over to eat. These guys all stood there shivering, wondering why Zhao Heng wanted to beat them.
Zhao Heng glanced at these refugees and said loudly: "Remember, you are no longer common people, you are servants! If you eat from my Zhao family and wear my Zhao family's clothes, you must obey the orders of my Zhao family! In the future, you will not have any orders from me.
You are allowed to eat! You are not allowed to drink water without my order! You are not allowed to sleep without my order! Even if you have to poop or pee, you must report it and you can only go if I agree! Do you understand?"
Seeing the few unlucky guys being beaten and rolling around on the ground, these refugees said with sadness: "I know!"
Zhao Heng asked loudly: "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"
The refugees raised their voices and shouted, "I got it!"
Zhao Heng waved to Zhang Guozhu and others to stop, and then tied the guys who ran over to eat first with ropes to a tree, punishing them by depriving them of food and sleep for the whole night! Then he led other refugees into the cafeteria, ready to start eating.
After what happened just now, these refugees have learned well. They all followed the platoon leader's arrangement, and sat there obediently at a long table for ten people. Even when a big basin of rice was served, they could not hold back their saliva.
move.
The meal served tonight is brown rice and sweet potato rice, one steamed salted fish for each person, and a bowl of pig offal soup! Zhao Heng and other refugees had all sat down, and then he led the five platoon leaders to the innermost seat, where the six of them sat.
Eat here.
Zhao Heng's army emphasized equality between officers and soldiers, but at that time, equality in treatment meant that officers and soldiers had to be absolutely identical in dressing and eating. Even Zhao Heng, the commander, had to eat the same as ordinary soldiers. But the army is a hierarchical society, and both officers and soldiers must be equal.
The dignity of an officer must also be maintained, so officers do not eat at the same table as soldiers, and they sleep separately.
After Zhao Heng sat down, Zhang Guozhu shouted: "Eat!"
Following Zhang Guozhu's order, the refugees began to wolf down their meals. The bowl of rice soon ran out. When the cook saw it, she quickly went up and replaced it with a new bowl of rice. Some of the refugees had finished eating the salted fish and asked if they could have it.
After being given salted fish, I realized that there was only one salted fish, but the delicious soup was available in unlimited quantities. The refugees were very happy. There were pieces of meat in the soup just now, and they could drink this delicious food at will, so they quickly bought a bucket of it.
The soup was drunk up.
This animal viscera soup was specially arranged by Zhao Heng. Ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty rarely ate meat, so they were deficient in vitamin A, which caused many people to suffer from night blindness. This soup contains pig liver, which can supplement vitamins that the human body cannot synthesize and treat night blindness.
It works wonders.
These guys drank porridge during the purification process a few days ago. Today they finally had a meal, and their stomachs were full. They all thought that although the young master of the Zhao family was very fierce and tired from running, there were many more.
It's an unbearable rule, but the food here is really good, and the most important thing is that you can eat enough, so you can suffer a little, it's better than starving to death outside.
