Chapter 59 Indulgence System
“Charge, charge!”
At the command of Bunian, the commander of the First Division of the Black Hat Army, the 20 command companies leveled their spears, and on both sides Under the leadership of a brigade commander, they rushed towards the wooden pile in front.
With a distance of twenty steps and a sprint speed similar to that of brisk walking, they formed a staggered situation in just a few seconds.
There is a difference of two or three positions between the one who rushes at the front and the one who rushes at the back.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sweat beads reflected the rays of the scorching sun, and the gun barrel wrapped in cloth hit the wooden stake, shaking out a circle of dust.
The long guns in the hands of the company captains were not equipped with gun heads. They were just wrapped in a layer of cloth and the front ends were stained with lime powder.
After all, those casting gun heads are consumables and will break after less than ten uses, so it’s better to save a little.
After the sprint, the command companies did not stop training immediately. Instead, they reorganized their formations chaotically according to the whistle.
"Middle-lower." Jeshka came over, took a look, and made a note on the roster in her hand.
The order company held their spears dejectedly and slowly returned to their original positions.
"The next group is the 5th and 6th brigades of the 1st Division."
Soon, 20 people from the 5th and 6th brigades arrived and began to inspect nervously arms.
Standing at the edge of the training ground, Jeshka looked sad. It was already the sixth day, and the church’s army would come at any time. The training was still like this. Is it okay?
The Order Companies of the Black Hat Legion mainly use spears as their main weapons.
Based on the idea that one inch is longer, one inch is stronger, Horn chose a spear of about 3 fathoms (6 meters).
In his previous life, the medieval Swiss pike phalanx used lances and euphorbias of this length.
But in fact, as soon as it is applied to real-life training, problems quickly arise.
That is, the pole is too long and heavy, and almost no villagers can lift it to run or move around stably.
The solution is very simple. I have encountered it before when the Boy Army was founded. Just let the two command companies hold one long gun.
Let one person hold the middle part of the spear and another person hold the back part of the spear, and the strength of two people can lift the big spear.
No way, the time is still too short.
It actually takes a lot of time to train a new soldier with certain combat effectiveness, especially in the era of cold weapons.
Don't look at the military training of later generations, and they can train well in just one or two weeks. That's because the personnel in military training have at least a high school degree.
As for these villagers, it took them four or five days to distinguish left from right, and so far some people still get it wrong.
"Dudu——"
Amidst the whistles, the sound of hitting wooden piles was heard in a neat and uneven manner, and then the two brigades quickly formed a team, and they actually looked pretty.
Looking up and taking a long look, Jeshka nodded slightly: "This looks good, first class."
"Second Division, First Brigade, Second Brigade, prepare!" Rafael, commander of the Second Division, shouted loudly.
While the test was in full swing on the field, a short man stooped out of breath and ran to the commander of the second brigade of the first division.
“Commander Coleman, the investigation is clear. That damn Monsey really cheated.”
“How did you cheat?” Coleman asked hurriedly. .
The command company mysteriously took out half of the rope from his pocket: "Brigade commander, you see, they tied the rope to their belts when they charged.
Because there are two People hold guns together. After the charge, they can hold the spear with one hand, untie the rope, and then regroup. "I asked the goat, why did the goat suddenly practice so well? It turns out. That’s how it was done!”
Coleman was furious, snatched the half of the rope from the order company, and went to Jeshka to argue.
“Hey, wait, wait, wait.” A young man on the side stopped the big and round Coleman.
"Victor, why are you stopping me?"
Victor is the commander of the first brigade. When going to the battlefield, the two brigades have to advance side by side, so The relationship is good.
Victor pressed his shoulder: "If they can cheat, can't we?
Expose him now. We will get nothing, but if we use it, we can exchange for several meals of meat and food. Where’s the fabric?”
“Is that okay?”
“Since we’ve eaten everything, can we still spit it out?”
“Dudu— —”
The piercing whistle made Coleman pick his ears. He glanced hesitantly at Jeshka in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, he is being unkind and I am being unjust. Tell the brothers to be more strict with their mouths."
Amidst the urging whistles and horns, the command companies of the Black Hat Army glanced at the sky, then formed an invisible formation and walked towards the canteen.
Now that the holy treasury system has been implemented, these more than 1,100 people are currently divided into two hundred households and twenty ten households according to convention.
One canteen was opened for every five ten households, providing the lowest level of two meals a day - potato root, rice cracker and wild vegetable porridge, or potato root stewed with potato root, or rice cracker stewed with rice cracker.
Horn randomly selects a canteen every day and has dinner with it, which is equivalent to a spot check to prevent deductions.
So what if you want to eat meat and eat better food?
It's very simple, get the indulgence in exchange.
Theft indulgences can be exchanged for meat and white bread, robbery indulgences can be exchanged for cloth, and murder indulgences can be exchanged for light luxuries such as medicine and wine.
The issuance of indulgences is based on the completion of daily tasks.
Every day, the heads of hundreds of households will assign tasks to each of the ten households, and the ten households will bring people to handle it. If the task is handled well, indulgence coupons will be issued.
Like the soldiers of the Black Hat Army, in the daily quiz, if you get a high level, you will get a murder indulgence, and if you get a middle level, you will get a robbery indulgence.
Things like middle, lower, lower, etc., mean nothing.
Otherwise, how could those lazy new command companies of the Black Hat Army have the motivation to train?
It was here in Horn that some of them tasted roast chicken and white bread for the first time.
In front of the canteen, there are five large pots standing upright. Behind the pots are several ladies holding large ladles half as tall as a person. The refugees in front of the pots are serving rice.
However, among these five cauldrons, there are only four teams, because one of the stalls is the exclusive priority for the command company.
The fifth stall not only has rice cracker porridge, but also cheese and eggs, which are exclusive rations for the imperial company.
The ten households held rattans with sharp thorns cut off in their hands and stood aside with eager eyes to maintain order.
After all, the Pope, the Archbishop, the Grand Master, the Chief of Households, and the damn Cheka spies will all come to investigate and inspect, which will affect subsequent promotions and the issuance of indulgences.
Look at Busak, look at Jeshka, look at Koce, who doesn’t want to make progress?
Amid everyone's envious gazes, the Black Hat Army's command company walked into the fifth aisle with a carefree attitude and began to serve their meals.
Seeing the hungry formation, and thinking of the power and force of the Gulag Papal State, even the Black Hats with the worst training performance will involuntarily puff up their chests.
