Chapter 1440 Peaceful training, Zong Xian hits a wall
Today is the tenth day of the formation of the Zhejiang Army. The soldiers of the Zhejiang Army were born bandits and bandits, and are used to being free and loose. Nine consecutive days of high-intensity training have made them physically and mentally tired. They are exhausted, and every cell is instinctively protesting.
However, they are powerless to protest despite their intentions. In reality, they can only lie down and accept the ravages of training.
Because Zhu Ping'an had tailor-made a training package for them on the fifth day: queue training, any soldier who made a wrong turn or went in the wrong direction would be beaten three times with a cane, and no rest was allowed after the cane punishment. , we still need to continue training; training with fists, feet, weapons, etc. Soldiers who made mistakes in their movements were also punished three times with a cane, and then continued training. And every day, Zhu Pingan would ask all the commanders to draw lots, and the two teams would practice in actual combat. The winning team would eat first, and the losing team would not only have to After eating, I have to wash clothes for the victorious team for a day.
In addition to queue, fist, kick, and weapon training, Zhu Pingan also added "Command the Golden Drum and Flag" training. In ancient times, unlike modern times, there were no instant communication tools such as radios and telephones. It was difficult for the army to obey the command and fight. The battlefield was noisy with people shouting and horses neighing. It was unrealistic to command the army by shouting. The only way to control the army was through loud musical instruments such as golden drums and flags. To command, simply put, it means beating the drums to advance, calling the troops to retreat, and marching with flags. In addition to the handsome flag, Zhu Pingan also set up five five-color flags based on the overall situation of the Ming army, namely the red flag in the front, the black flag in the rear, the cyan flag on the left, the white flag on the right, and the yellow flag in the middle, representing the front army and the rear army. The army, the left army, the right army and the center army, raise the red flag to order the front army to obey the order, raise the black flag to order the rear army to obey the order, raise the green flag to order the left army to obey the order, and so on. Waving the flag continuously means urging the soldiers to get ready. Waving the flag forward tells the soldiers to move forward; waving the flag to the left tells the soldiers to turn left; waving the flag to the right means telling the soldiers to turn right; turning the flag once Circle and wave backward to make the soldiers retreat.
Just like the training of queues, fists and kicks, and weapons, if something goes wrong in the training of calling the golden drum and flag, you will be punished in the same way, with the same three strokes of the cane
This is so that the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army often laugh at themselves during training breaks. They "Bamboo rice" is the most eaten.
Zhu Ping'an tailor-made a training package for the Zhejiang Army, which makes it impossible for the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army to display their free and casual attributes. The buttocks will not be saved, and if it is too heavy, the life will not be saved.
Of course, Zhu Pingan also knows the principle of combining work with rest and having a certain degree of relaxation. He gives them time to rest at the right time, conducts ideological education and military song training during the rest time, and at the same time ensures that their meals contain meat and vegetables every day

The military law is very strict, the training is very hard, the board is painful, the food is delicious, the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army are in pain but persist
While Zhu Pingan was training the Zhejiang Army intensively, Hu Zongxian, who was full of ambitions, hit the wall again and again in the face of reality and suffered a bloody blow.
Hu Zongxian was a migrant worker with great ambitions. When he left Beijing to serve as the inspector and censor of Zhejiang, he made a great wish: "If I go to Zhejiang, I will not pacify the Japanese pirates, and I will never return to the southeast." Beijing! "He wants to take the Japanese invasion as an opportunity to write a glorious chapter in his life in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the southeast.
To pacify the Japanese pirates and determine the southeast, military strategy is the top priority.
So, as soon as Hu Zongxian took office as the censor of Zhejiang Province, he immediately began to patrol the military camps and guard stations within his jurisdiction.
I don’t know if I don’t patrol, but I will be shocked if I patrol. Not to mention the local military camps and guards, even the military camps and guards in Yingtian and nearby areas left Hu Zongxian speechless to the extreme! Before coming to Yingtian, Hu Zongxian did his homework, read the archives of Yingtian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang military preparations, and got a written understanding of the situation of Yingtian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang military preparations. According to archival records, Yingtian had 120,000 fighting troops, but reality gave Hu Zongxian a loud slap in the face one after another.
The first stop of Hu Zongxian's inspection tour was the Daqiaochang Camp. According to archives, the Daqiaochang Camp had 30,000 combatable soldiers. The data also records that the large school camp was well-trained and the military was at its peak, and it was Yingtian's model army to imitate.
But what about reality.
Hu Zongxian came to the Daqiaochang camp and found that the gatekeepers at the Daqiaochang camp were loose and scattered. Two of the ten gatekeepers were old, weak, sick, and disabled, and one of them was even a gray-haired veteran with a cane.
"Old man, why are you still a soldier at your age?" Hu Zongxian asked.
"Alas, my family has no land, no harvest, and we still have to pay for grain. My son has to work on the dock to endure the day, and I will serve as a soldier for my son." The gray-haired veteran sighed when he heard this. He replied after taking a breath.
When Hu Zongxian heard this, he was silent for a long time.
When Hu Zongxian entered the camp at the university camp, he found that the old, weak, sick and disabled in the camp were more serious. He grabbed a lot of them and observed with the naked eye that they accounted for more than half of the entire army, and there were many more. He didn't have any weapons to practice, and it looked like he just came to the military camp to hang out.
The entire military camp is a casual atmosphere, with sunbathing, chatting, playing, and gambling. All kinds of leisure and entertainment methods can be seen in the military camp, but only the training scenes cannot be seen. .
With a gloomy look on his face, Hu Zongxian asked the commander of the campus to beat the drums and gather the soldiers. It took half an hour to gather the soldiers in the camp.
After Hu Zongxian led some people to verify, he found that the number of soldiers and horses in the large camp was seriously inaccurate. Compared with the number of people reported on paper, it was seriously insufficient. Even with the addition of the old, weak, sick and disabled, the entire military camp was There were only 6,891 soldiers, which was nearly 80% less than the number they reported.
It was reported that there were 30,000 people, but in fact there were only 6,891 people, a deficit of more than 23,000, and a shortage of more than 23,000 in wages.
It is really unscrupulous! !
The dignified Beijing camp was in such a state. The soldiers had no fighting power and the generals had no scruples. Hu Zongxian was heartbroken and laughed angrily, "Haha, the Daxiaochang camp is also a Beijing camp. I didn't expect that Wan Unexpectedly, the old and young are tired and tired, sitting on the sixth floor, and working with their bare hands on the second floor. It is really that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. After a long time, I have nothing to fear."
"Haha, Master Hu, some soldiers have asked for leave and are not in the camp. Please be considerate."
Master Zhang, the commander of the large school field, smiled and walked up. While explaining in a low voice, he handed Hu Zongxian a banknote without leaving any trace.
Hu Zongxian pushed away the banknote, looked at the general with an expressionless face, and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Master Zhang, have all the more than 20,000 soldiers asked for leave?! What a coincidence?!"
Master Zhang, the commander of the large school field He smiled awkwardly and whispered, "It's not a coincidence."
Hu Zongxian's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Haha, Master Hu, please calm down. To be honest, this is not only true for our military camp, but also for other armies."
Master Zhang, the commander of the large school field, laughed twice and explained.
"Nowadays, the Japanese invasion is becoming more and more serious. How can we control the Japanese invasion under such circumstances?!" Hu Zongxian asked with a sneer.
"Since the Battle of Jingnan, our Yingtian City has not been invaded for more than a hundred years. The Japanese pirates Xiaoxiao are just wreaking havoc in the countryside. Even if they eat the heart of a bear, the leopard dare not come. We should be in Tiancheng."
Master Zhang, the commander of the university field, said without any worries. (End of this chapter)
