Life in the cadet corps of the Military and Political School is no different from that in the quarantine camp. Life is routine. 【Full text reading】． Get up and run with the soldiers in the training camp at 5 o'clock in the morning. It's just that the training camp is a 5-kilometer cross-country run, and they just run ten laps around the school field.
The morning is time for learning, continuing the learning they had been doing in the quarantine camp, including literacy and numeracy. Compared with the "fake kuns" from Yanchang Village who attended classes in the quarantine camp, now all the "real kuns" are in class, and the children have also learned what others call these Australian gentlemen: "长".
The lessons for the "elders" were much more interesting than simple literacy and arithmetic. Someone came to teach them to look at a shiny small round plate with many Arabic numerals they had learned in arithmetic class on it, as well as two ticking numerals. The needle moves with a ticking sound. According to the "chief" of the class, this is called a "clock" and is used to keep track of time. You can know the specific time now by looking at this. Compared with things like Fragrance, Leakage and Corona, it is really convenient and accurate.
"This is really a treasure. Even Mr. Huang in our hometown doesn't have it! He is the number one gentleman in the county."
"Who is Mr. Huang of yours?" The "chief" in class curled his lips disdainfully, "You can't even find him in the imperial palace in Beijing."
"Isn't that a rare treasure? If I pay tribute to the emperor, the elders won't be able to become high officials."
Xiao Zishan smiled helplessly. The common people's words often contained their simplest understanding: good things must be enjoyed by the emperor. For thousands of years, the Chinese dynasties have plundered the best things under their rule for free for the enjoyment of one family after another. Even if anything comes close to "tribute", it is a guarantee of quality.
"The purpose of a clock is to grasp the time more accurately," Xiao Zishan changed the topic from treasures. "In the past, everyone could only know what the time is now by looking at the sun, or listening to the watch, drums in the drum tower, and noon cannon. It’s time. With a clock, you can always know what time it is and how much time it took to do something.”
"What's the use of knowing it?" Someone asked, "In the past, I used to herd cattle for the rich man. I would go out for a day at a time. I would go out at dawn and come back before dark."
"You just need to remember how to tell the time now. As for the specific use, you will know it later."
Xiao Zishan knew that it would be difficult to explain this to the children of 400 years ago. Except for professionals who study astronomy and calendars, traditional agricultural societies rarely need accurate time. Accurate time control is a need of modern science.
This stage belongs to "universal education". Rather than acquiring more complex and advanced scientific knowledge, it is more important for these newcomers to adapt to the weights and measures, time units and idioms used by time travelers as quickly as possible. Only when there are no barriers to communication can they be effectively driven.
In the afternoon, it was time for training. Like the new recruits, the most important thing for them was to conduct queue training. Because of the 40 days of Mandarin teaching in the quarantine camp, they could understand the instructor's orders. Although some people still couldn't tell the difference between left and right, Like new recruits, there are far fewer people who are pulled out and beaten because they don't understand orders.
In the evening, just like the new recruits, it was political education, repeated brainwashing, and some additional knowledge was also taught.
Compared with ordinary recruits, they have more courses besides cultural classes - recruits only take simple literacy and arithmetic courses at night or when the weather is bad. Although Ma Qianzhu has high expectations for these children, he decided not to give them too much special education for the time being, and let them train themselves in the training camp to see which ones are suitable to become future students. Backbone.
Tian Liang studied very hard. He was not very smart to begin with. He was beaten many times in the quarantine camp because of his poor study. Now he studied even worse. In the end, he fell into the infantry department during the subject examination. The three Ruan brothers had outstanding academic performance and were selected into the artillery department. One day a "chief" in blue clothes came. After learning that the three Ruan brothers were from a fisherman's family, they became "Navy", which is about "Navy" or something like that.
After that they were divided into classes. The Ruan brothers are now immersed in learning the artillery tables and various shooting methods. They have to push the cannon around every morning and practice the cannon maneuvers over and over again. The most ridiculous thing is to learn to holster a gun carriage. The artillery carriage and gun body must be quickly yoked to the traction horse with a special traction belt. For a small gun, one holster is enough, and for the largest gun, 8 holsters are needed. In order to better understand the nature of horses, people who learn gunnery go to the farm every few days to take care of the horses. As for the afternoon, learn to use slide rules, rulers, measuring instruments and other equipment.
Tian Liang practiced the method of carrying a wooden gun, assigned vine armor to assassinate in groups, led the squad to change formations, dug trenches, piled earth forts, and built walls.
Every few days, the instructors will take everyone out for a march. On the way, they will continue to train on various subjects against imaginary targets. Sometimes it is a short-distance charge. Not only do you have to run fast, but you also have to rush into the enemy's position. time to assassinate the opponent.
The worst part is the armed cross-country, where everyone carries tens of kilograms of stuff on their backs and jogs for 15 kilometers on mountain paths or field ridges. After arriving within the specified time, they are not allowed to rest. They immediately start building fortifications, and then divide into two groups to fight and fight. His subjects include shooting - using wooden guns. These guns are no longer wooden sticks with weighted stones, but iron-filled training guns. In addition to not being able to shoot, the barrels, fire gates and bayonet seats are all available. . During the simulated shooting, the soldiers must follow the steps of firing a muzzle-loading rifle exactly: bite the shell of the training bullet, load the ammunition, and cock the flash cap. Not a single movement is missing. The instructor will also criticize the non-standard movements. After the shooting, there will be bayonet fighting and hand-to-hand combat between both sides. This kind of fighting is not over until one side drives the other side out of the position. The losing party is responsible for setting up camp and cooking for the night. Sometimes such confrontation training will turn into a fake show, and there will often be many wounded with bruises, bruises, and even broken heads and fractures.
At this time, the female trainee nurses led by people from the health team will play a role, and these wounded people have become their best internship specimens. Those so-called girls who entered "technical schools" actually became students in the health group's nurse training class. Shi Niaoren also planned to train a number of qualified doctors from them. He had already selected a few particularly smart girls. The children began to secretly teach them a strange language: Latin.
These trainee female nurses had no equipment or medicines. Although the standard Red Cross medical kits they carried were imitations of the latest version produced 400 years later, they were basically empty. Except for alcohol, absorbent cotton, splints, sutures, needles and some simple Chinese medicine preparations, there is nothing useful - all modern medicines are controlled by the doctors of the health team themselves. Fortunately, people who can live into their teens these days are strong under Darwin's law. Physical fitness is pretty good. It'll be fine with a little treatment and a few days of rest.
Tian Liang saw Guo Fu during an exercise. She was now wearing the same clothes as them, but she had grown her hair. She was also wearing a round soft hat with a brim, and a strange embroidered armband on her sleeve: A blue snake wrapped around a stick - every "nurse" has one on their sleeve.
Tian Liang worked extremely hard in this exercise, hoping that he would be able to get some minor injuries and be able to meet and talk to Guo Fu, but his incomparable bravery made his opponent go to the health team, but he was still intact. He could only look at Guo Fu from afar in annoyance.
After they had slowly adapted to this kind of training, the instructors again played the trick of gathering at night. They suddenly gathered in an emergency in the middle of the night while they were sleeping soundly. Those who did not arrive at the campus with all the equipment within ten minutes were all punished by running around the field. 1o laps. That's fine, but the scariest thing is that sometimes there are night training sessions. Everyone is tied with a strip of white cloth on their back, and then they march one by one at night.
Ancient armies rarely engaged in night battles. First, ancient communication methods were backward. It was difficult to control the direction of the team during night marches, let alone fight. Secondly, the ancients rarely had such complete maps as today for reference. If there is no suitable A guide will get lost even during the day, let alone at night.
It is precisely because the ancient army avoided night battles that time travelers had to conduct such training. For the new army, which has a numerical disadvantage but an advantage in training, night battles are the best tactic to effectively offset the enemy's numerical advantage. .
Night training is not just about marching and walking. They also need to learn to divide into teams to carry out tactical maneuvers in the dark environment. They rely entirely on whistles, flutes and trumpets for communication and coordination. They also use flower arrows when necessary. The Red Army and the Eighth Route Army did not have walkie-talkies back then, so they were equally at home in night battles.
Then there is the wilderness survival class. Originally, the training syllabus prepared by Bei Wei covered the topics from tropical and subtropical areas like Hainan to the snowy Northland. However, considering that everyone will not go to the Northeast for exhibitions in two or three years, we should focus on local and southern China. as the focus of teaching. Slides play a big role in teaching, especially when teaching the identification of various plants and animals. First, use picture examples, and then go to the field for field observation. Then they were taught how to use a compass, how to identify directions in the wild, predict climate, build temporary shelters, and provide health care... Finally, the soldiers were sent into the mountains in squad units to live for ten days, during which they had to complete a series of tasks. Each person can bring a dagger, a pound of uncooked rice and some salt. In order to prevent these new recruits from taking the opportunity to harm the people during field training, Bei Wei took his special team to be responsible for surveillance and training for his own team.
