The peasant soldiers were also pleasantly surprised to find that Su Yonglin took them and gave them three meals a day, but Su Yonglin gave them three meals instead of two meals.
Get up neatly and give me a reward
Good people! Good people!
This is the most intuitive first impression of many peasant soldiers.
But soon they found that their first impression was biased.
The first thing they have to face is queue training.
Infantry fighting depends on the formation queue, which is the foundation of the formation. If you don’t practice the formation well, you can’t practice the formation.
The queue is not only to walk in a line, but also to train to understand the officer’s orders, including but not limited to passwords and semaphores, drums and so on
The ancient army did not have wire communication facilities. When the general commanded the tactics, he handed the orders to every grass-roots officer, so he had to pass the orders to the officers and soldiers through semaphores, drums or horns to carry out them.
What sound stands for what command theory? Both officers and soldiers have to undergo strict training before they can be understood and implemented.
Once the training is completed, a well-trained rebel army that can carry out the commander’s orders smoothly will be a blow to the Jin people who hastily pull the battlefield to sign the army.
Many ancient armies "collapsed at the touch of a button" and "collapsed thousands of miles" were not well trained in this field, which was a blow to the well-trained army to reduce its dimension.
However, in the same way, the great cause of the Golden State is very low, and there are many chances to try again and again. Losing a battle is like tickling.
Su Yonglin and others are insurgents. They are inherently inferior to others and can’t afford to lose once.
It must be strict, strict, meticulous and meticulous!
Su Yonglin had no chance of failure, and his power grew stronger. Before the rebel army swept across Shandong, he failed once, and the consequences were unbearable for him.
He personally took the battle flag, drums and horns and magnified them to tell them what these things were and what they were.
For example, what does it mean to beat a slow drum?
Little by little, I tried to make it clear. From the beginning, there were many mistakes and omissions in the funny scene to an hour later, Su Yonglin still saw some achievements.
Of course, compared with Su Yonglin’s sense of accomplishment, the peasant soldiers are much more tired, and the saltworks workers and soldiers are not much better.
This is a new experience they have never had before.
The same is true of post-weapon training. Many people have dealt with farm tools or salt-making tools since birth, and no one has ever played with steel knives and spears that can really kill people, as well as heavy axes that look particularly heavy.
These things are very heavy, and the weight is often longer than that of ordinary farm tools and tools.
Both the peasant soldiers and the worker soldiers find it difficult to wield these weapons in their hands, let alone fight
"It may be heavy now, but it doesn’t matter. Practice more and you will get used to it."
Su Yonglin said this and asked the officers familiar with these weapons to teach their comrades how to use these weapons.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was not the same level of difficulty to acquire swords and spears and crossbows and armor, but there were swords and spears without crossbows and armor. The officers and men didn’t take you seriously, but if you had armor and crossbows, you would really rebel.
A ranged attack and a close defense are all about rebellion.
Since Su Dingguang’s time, it’s not difficult to get swords and spears, but it’s really difficult to get crossbows and armor. Moreover, the military department of the Song Dynasty is very strict about weapons such as the arm bow and the enemy bow, and the army sometimes doesn’t give any money.
The army is not enough, and it is even harder for outsiders to get it.
Su Yonglin has a total of more than 30 pairs of arm bow armor, and there are ten sets. Even if he wants to practice the arm bow with great lethality, he does not have sufficient conditions.
But it’s good to be good. This is not the northwest, but Shandong, and further north, Hebei is relatively flat.
Where the terrain is rugged, such as when Song Jun was dealing with Xixia in the northwest, the crossbow was the main array. When most soldiers were crossbowmen, the terrain was suitable for the crossbowmen to play a commanding role.
However, after the Yellow River was diverted, it was a Ma Pingchuan, which was especially suitable for cavalry action.
When dealing with cavalry in this terrain, the infantry array needs more long gunners and shield soldiers, and when facing the cavalry impact, the array is more stable and not easy to be washed away, and the crossbowman takes a back seat.
Su Yonglin comforted Zhao Kaishan when he was worried about the shortage of crossbowmen.
After careful consideration, Zhao Kaishan agreed with Su Yonglin’s view and decided to get a large number of crossbows naturally after conquering the three States and acquiring the gold army arsenal. It’s not too late to talk about it then.
The amount of training in the afternoon is very large, and the consumption is also very heavy. By noon, everyone is already hungry.
At lunch, Su Yonglin asked them to queue up to the river not far from the training ground to wash their hands and wipe their faces before going to eat.
At noon, we give rice, dried rice and pickles, and some soup that looks clear and watery-it’s good to have it. There are few meals, vegetables and soup
For the old people in the Su family, this kind of food is nothing. They eat much better when they are smugglers. Su Yonglin treats them as human beings.
But for soldiers who have just taken refuge in farmers, it is more important to give them three meals a day.
You can eat well after three meals.
If I had known that being a soldier was such a treat, I would have been looking forward to the rebellion of my family, wouldn’t I?
There is an hour after lunch, during lunch break.
The catch is that you have to go back to the dormitory to take a nap and keep up your spirits for afternoon training. This is easy to accept, and it is even more welcome to take a nap when you are too tired.
Take a nap and stretch. It’s refreshing.
However, instead of training harder than they thought, the peasant soldiers were greeted by a squad leader in a large playground to teach them to read.
Generally, not one person in a class can read, and there are often six or seven soldiers from thugs and salt workers who can read.
The limited number of three or four peasant soldiers looked at it-hey? How can everyone read? We’re the only ones who can’t read.
Are there so many cultural people in Song Dynasty in the south?
Peasant soldiers are very depressed.
In a class, six or seven people often help two or three people to teach a peasant soldier with these honest hands to recognize each word.
This group of old people in Su family still remember how Su Yonglin taught them to read and helped them get rid of ignorance.
They also remember Su Yonglin’s words.
"If you have literacy and culture, you are a real person. If you don’t treat us like people, of course you won’t teach us to read, but it doesn’t matter if we teach ourselves, we must teach us all to recognize literacy and be upright with culture."
Sue’s old people told the peasant soldiers this sentence. Peasant soldiers, look at me. I look at you. You look surprised and puzzled.
But it doesn’t matter that literacy is mandatory. You can’t recognize it if you want to recognize it. If you don’t recognize it if you are lazy, you will have to hand it over to the military court for punishment.
When this rule was announced, the peasant soldiers immediately stared at the writing in black and white and clumsily followed the old people in Sue’s home to pronounce the word over and over again.
An hour later, the end of the literacy class is a new round of queue training.
Su Yonglin regards queue training as the primary task, not only to listen to the soldiers beating drums, blowing horns and waving flags, but also to understand all this, so as to facilitate the battlefield to give accurate orders to frontline commanders.
It’s always all kinds of exercises.
The soldiers marched forward, backward, forward and backward in rows, and they were tortured to death, and the drums rang like a drum, which made the soldiers tired. The whole training camp was very lively.
It’s easy to stay up until dinner, not to mention the farmers and soldiers, and the old people in Su’s family are hungry, too. They are holding porridge bowls on their chests and holding their backs, wolfing down and sucking.
Of course, it is absolutely not cheat people to say that three meals a day is three meals a day.
There was an hour during dinner and after-dinner break. After dinner, the soldiers got together in twos and threes to chat, digest food, walk around and discuss with each other today’s wonderful experience.
