Chapter 026
"Everyone assemble!"
Following Shen Mingyu's order, more than four hundred servants quickly formed a neat formation. Although the entire army did not wear armor, they had uniform uniforms, and their aura was obviously different from before.
"Stand at attention, look to the right, and take a break."
"Greetings to Mr. Senhu!"
Cheng Shijie looked at everyone and said: "As you have seen, our Qianhu Station is being repaired, and the barracks you live in have been built. You can already sleep in warm rooms with fires this winter. You no longer have to worry about starvation and It’s cold!”
"Thank you, Lord Qianhu, for your kindness!"
Cheng Shijie had no ambition to conquer the world at this time, nor did he intend to turn Zuo Qianhu's servants into a national army. This was just a private army, loyal to him. Then what he learned was Yuan Shikai's way of training troops at the small station.
"When you drink water, you must remember its source. When you eat food as a soldier, you must know whose food you are eating. Do you know whose food you are eating?"
"What I am waiting to eat is Master Qianhu's food!"
"If it weren't for the clothes on your body and the shoes on your feet, you would be the same as before, with no clothes to wear and no money to pay."
"I am willing to die for Lord Qianhu!"
Song Kangnian stood on the edge of the school field. He looked at Cheng Shijie's figure. Under the sunlight, Cheng Shijie's figure looked taller and taller.
"The army is a place of rules. After being in the army, anyone who wants to speak must first raise his hand and shout a report!"
As soon as Cheng Shijie finished speaking, Guo Xun, the most thorny among the servants, immediately raised his hand and said: "Report!"
"speak!"
"Is it this way?"
Guo Xun wanted to be in the limelight, but in fact there was nothing wrong with him.
Cheng Shijie nodded: "Yes, Guo Xun will add a chicken for dinner tonight!"
"Thank you, Master Qianhu!"
Guo Xun entered the list.
Cheng Shijie looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone is probably very confused at this time. I am leading you to train formations and what is the use of turning left and right? The training of the army is not to let you dance wildly with swords, guns, sticks and swords. That is not training. It's just children playing house. The army is a collective, bringing all the forces together. This is the real military training."
Cheng Shijie doesn't know how to train soldiers. People who have never been in the military will never understand the real difference between soldiers and ordinary people. However, he still followed the example and explained the basics and functions of the queue in the simplest and most understandable way.
At this time, Cheng Shijie was talking endlessly, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, when he was still working as a technician at the fifth branch of Hansteel Group. As a technician, he was responsible for guiding undergraduate apprentices.
The production of steel mills is also based on collective collaboration and militarized management. He used the barrel theory method to explain the principles while conducting on-site experiments.
"Everyone has actually seen that an army is not truly powerful if one person is strong. Just like Guo Xun!"
Having said this, Cheng Shijie looked at Guo Xun and said, "Guo Xun comes out!"
Guo Xun took a big step forward, held his head high and looked a little arrogant.
Cheng Shijie said: "Everyone has understood during this period that Guo Xun's skills are the best among all of you. No one objects to this, right?"
"No!"
"very good!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Guo Xun, this Qianhu has appointed you as a temporary banner. You can select nine subordinates from the entire army to form a new banner!"
Guo Xun was very dissatisfied with Changyu. Although Chang Yu was good in skills, he was no match for Guo Xun. However, Chang Yu followed Cheng Shijie and climbed to the top in one step, which made Guo Xun unconvinced.
Guo Xun quickly selected nine soldiers. These nine soldiers all had similarities with him. They were tall and fierce, and they were the thorns in the Qianhu Institute.
As Guo Xun finished selecting the personnel, he said to Cheng Shijie: "Master Qianhu, can I challenge Changyu Zhang Baihu!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Of course, Changyu, are you confident?"
"have"
Zhang Yu was born and looked at the people in front of him and said: "Zhang Ning comes out!"
Zhang Ning's flag was someone who had participated in the attack on Gaowang. There were two lightly wounded and one seriously wounded person in his flag. None of these three people participated in the training of the army and are still recovering from their injuries. One of his little flags had a bad stomach. In fact, he secretly ate half a bowl of lard bibimbap. It would be strange if he didn't have diarrhea.
Cheng Shijie said: "For the sake of fairness, you can choose three more people!"
"No, just six people will be enough for you!"
Including Changyu himself, it's ten to seven.
The disparity is not too big.
The two sides began to prepare. The weapons and equipment were wooden knives and spears. Of course, the wooden knives were wood chips whittled into wooden knives, and the spears were simply wooden sticks.
However, wooden spears and wooden knives are not fun to cut on the body. If you don't do it right, you will get hurt.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Cheng Shijie currently has not got the equipment for the four hundred people, let alone defensive gear.
"start!"
As Cheng Shijie shouted, Guo Xun went straight to Changyu. It was a rare opportunity for him to beat Changyu upright.
However, the combat resolution feels incredible.
According to everyone's understanding, Guo Xun is very skilled. He can beat three or four ordinary people by himself. Coupled with the good skills of the people he picked, everyone can at least be at a disadvantage in one on two.
However, there are only seven people in Zhang Yu's department, and they are still not strong people. Especially Zhang Ning, who still looks like a child who has not grown up. This baby-faced man is already twenty-six years old.
"Stop, stop fighting!"
The person who raised his hands to surrender was not Chang Yu, but Guo Xun.
Guo Xun was beaten badly.
Cheng Shijie said: "Guo Xun, do you know why?"
"Changyu is being mean, seven of them beat one of me!"
"You have nine people under your command. There are more people than them. Why haven't you won yet?"
"I……"
Guo Xun asked me for a long time, but he didn't give a reason.
Cheng Shijie made the final summary: "Changyu only has seven people, but you have ten. You rely on your own high kung fu and take the lead. Changyu can use seven people to attack you one at a time. Of your nine people, only one can really attack with all his strength." Although Chang Yu can't defeat you alone, he concentrated everyone's strength even though his own strength is not as good as yours, and then he has an absolute advantage. If he defeats them all, you will not be unjustly defeated!"
Guo Xun raised his head stubbornly: "It doesn't count this time. Let's compete again in a few days!"
"Guo Xun, you haven't seen the essence of the problem. If you still can't understand it, if you fight again, you will still lose!"
Cheng Shijie looked at Xiaoqi Zhang Ning and said: "Zhang Ning can beat you without Changyu taking action!!"
Having said this, Cheng Shijie looked at the crowd and said: "This Qianhu's queue training for you is actually cultivating a tacit understanding between you and Pao Ze. As long as there is a tacit understanding, a gesture, or a look, each other can understand each other." The purpose of the so-called military training is to fully mobilize your physical fitness and skills, distribute and dispatch them in the most reasonable way, and ultimately ensure the methods and techniques to defeat the enemy on the battlefield..."
Song Kangnian murmured to himself: "This is the way to be a general!"
Shen Mingyu lowered his voice: "What?"
"What Senhu-sama is talking about is the art of war, the knowledge that generals use to win battles!"
Song Kangnian turned and left.
Shen Mingyu felt inexplicably strange: "The Art of War? Our Shen family also has it!"
After finishing the day's training, Cheng Shijie returned to Qianhuzhai.
The late Ming Dynasty was an era of small-scale peasant economy, and the large-scale breeding industry of later generations almost did not exist. Fortunately, Cheng Shijie could only feed more than 400 servants, but the problem was that food for more than 400 people had become a problem.
It's not that Cheng Shijie didn't have money. In addition to more than 14,000 shi of grain, he now had more than 4,000 taels of silver. He did not immediately convert the silver into gold and bring it back to future generations.
Instead, it was placed as a development fund for Qianhu Institute in the late Ming Dynasty. Everything was difficult at the beginning. Without money, it was even more difficult to move forward, just like opening the salt farm of Zuo Qianhu Institute.
Qianhu Institute itself was a hodgepodge, with all kinds of talents. Cheng Shijie didn't even ask, and gave Zhou Yandong 500 shi of grain, and he completed the initial construction of the salt farm.
The same is true for the woodwork factory in Qianhusuo. As long as there is money and food, the military households in Qianhusuo have their own ways to get things done.
In order to prepare weapons for the servants, Qianhusuo opened a blacksmith furnace to repair and make do with the scrap copper and iron obtained by Zhou Yandong through bribery.
Cheng Shijie was about to find Zhou Yandong to see if he could find artillery.
At this moment, a dozen knights riding horses rushed into the huge construction site of Qianhuzhai like a gust of wind.
The messenger looked at the busy Qianhu Office with a cold look on his face.
It's a pity that these will eventually become the moon in the mirror.
"Where is Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu!"
Although the rank of the commander's messenger is not high, he is directly under the command and knowledge of the commander's yamen and does not take Qianhu into consideration at all.
Cheng Shijie walked out of Qianhu House. He had a crystal ingot in his hand. This is a golden glass product. In later generations, you can buy a lot of it for one hundred yuan, and it is not as difficult to make as glass beads.
After inspecting the letter and waist tag, Cheng Shijie secretly stuffed the crystal ingot into the hands of the leading courier, Xiao Qi.
The little flag man took the crystal ingot, his face warmed up, and he shouted: "Commander Zuo Qianhu Cheng Shijie, commander of the Dengzhou Guard, will lead his troops to pacify the bandit Qin Wu's headquarters within half a month, there must be no mistakes!"
Cheng Shijie took the order and remained calm.
Seeing that Cheng Shijie had given him too much face, Xiaoqi gritted his teeth and leaned into Cheng Shijie's ear and said, "Cheng Qianhu, it's time for you to report your illness!"
Cheng Shijie was stunned.
Xiaoqi turned and left.
Regardless of whether Cheng Shijie can understand it or not, he has only achieved this step.
Xiaoqi also lamented that it would not be easy to meet such a generous Qianhu again in the future.
