Chapter 7 Recruit Training 1
On the second day after the meeting with the knights, Paul divided the troops according to his new organization. There were nearly 600 new and old soldiers in total, and they were divided into two dissatisfied groups. infantry battalion.
After he finished organizing the soldiers, he remembered that there was still a group of lord's palace guards. He had obsessive-compulsive disorder and decided to organize an organization for them, and set up a separate unit - the internal guard force.
Modeling the armed police system of the previous life, the two levels at the grassroots level are still the squad and the platoon, and the higher up are the squadron, the brigade, and the detachment, corresponding to the company, battalion, and regiment respectively. In order to save trouble, it is also implemented with the army. The same military rank system. There were only 60 guards in the Lord's Mansion, so they were organized into two platoons.
As for the knights and their attendants, this is more difficult. After all, the knight class has reached the threshold of the nobility, and according to his observation, the gap between the nobility and the common people in this world is still quite large. Big ones, mixing them into the same system might cause dissatisfaction among them, and the position of lord under him has not yet been firmly established, but it feels strange to have such considerable power to separate them.
So he had a confidential conversation with Bryce first and expressed his thoughts and concerns. Unexpectedly, Bryce blushed and said that he was worrying too much and explained to him.
It turns out that when the Gleiman family was kicked to the northwest coast by the king, it had a strong distribution nature. The previous vassals were either implicated and punished together, or they changed their families and joined others.
The knights in the territory now...
"Uh... how should I put it?" Bryce hesitated, "It's a bit offensive to say that the lord's family was banned by the royal family at that time. Consecrate new vassal nobles. Although your ancestors gave us knight fiefs, our knight status is not recognized by the kingdom official and other nobles. People generally call people like us 'wild knights' except for knowing some words and. When practicing martial arts, we are no different from ordinary people. Most of us often work in the fields by ourselves."
Paul asked strangely: "Then Baron Ford is..."
"His title was inherited from a distant relative. He had served the Lord's family for a long time before inheriting the title. Moreover, he is a 'vestige noble', which means he only has the title of a noble, but does not have a fief."
"I see, then it's up to you to pull them into the army. I think you are very prestigious among them."
Bryce Khan responded in one breath: "Where? No, I can just drink them all down at the wine table. Don't worry, I won't let the earl down. "
It's true as Bryce said, the knights and their retinue. There was no resistance, and most of them were appointed as officers at all levels of the army. Bryce and another knight named Claude were appointed as the commander of the 1st Infantry Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion respectively.
A series of physical fitness tests were then conducted to select the monitors of each class. Originally, I wanted to use the number of literacy points as the maximum scoring factor for selection, but after asking, almost all the hundreds of people were The few who were illiterate could only recognize and spell their own names, so they had no choice but to take the physical test first.
It is precisely because the overall cultural level of the team is not high that the selected low-level officers have the word agent in front of their job names, and their military ranks are also temporary. All current soldiers are private soldiers, and acting squad leaders are temporary corporals.
"Okay, in view of the recent tense military situation, let's start training without further delay." The little earl said enthusiastically. Regardless of everyone's objections, he was determined to pull the team to the woods outside the town for training. And it was announced that they would be camping in the woods during training.
He only brought the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 1st Internal Guard Platoon, and the 1st Battalion was left in Huxin Town to deal with emergencies. After choosing a place, the new recruits began to set up camp under the leadership of the veterans. Paul found Knight Claude - now Major Claude - to discuss a training plan.
He gave Claude a piece of parchment, filled with words, and said proudly: "Look, Claude, I have seen more geniuses than this. Training plan! ”
Claude took it and browsed it quickly, sweating profusely and said: "Sir, training like this will kill people."
"What, how is it possible? This is a shortened version with many subjects cut off. "
"Sir, the intensity of this training is almost comparable to what I did when I was a knight's retinue."
"You can withstand it, why can't they?"< br>
"Nutrition is very important! My lord, although I was not well-off at that time, I could eat meat at least once a week. These civilian-born soldiers did not have such conditions. According to the previous food standards, It can only ensure that they are not hungry, but once the amount of exercise increases, it will be difficult to survive without eating meat.”
Paul slapped his forehead: "I didn't even consider this. Let's do it. I will write a letter immediately and send it to Philip, asking him to strengthen the food supply to us, especially to increase the supply of meat. In addition, we I also organize manpower to hunt every day."
Claude laughed: "Well... I don't have any objection, but Butler Philip is probably vomiting blood again."
"Lord, inside. In addition to physical training, it also mentioned confusing words such as standing in the military posture, kicking forward, and queue training. I can understand it literally, but can you explain it further?”
"Discipline, discipline, Claude, did you see the fooling around in the military parade before? Our army must be uniform, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and act as a whole at all times. Only in this way can we have momentum, not a group of people. "
Claude's forehead was sweating: "The requirements of the regular army of the Kingdom are not that high! Okay, you are right."
"It's getting late now, so I won't practice other subjects for now. Let's stand in a military position and have an appetizer before dinner! Hey hey hey..."
Looking at the busy soldiers, the eager young earl geared up and geared up. while letting out a sinister laugh that sent shivers down Claude's spine.
