Zhu Chongba would not doubt what Goudan said.
Although this famine was caused by natural disasters, man-made disasters played a more important role. Zhu Chongba saw this more and more clearly.
As we all know, these Tatars do not regard Han people as human beings at all.
In their eyes, Han people are inferior to livestock.
"First find thirty people. They should be strong and smart, and they should be well-dressed." Zhu Chongba emphasized again.
The best thing about soldiers is not having too many. Besides, this is Zhu Chongba's first military training, so of course the fewer the number, the better.
In the future, as I gain experience, I can bring more people out. This is all a story for later.
Goudan really kept his word. Early the next morning, he brought thirty children to his home.
At this time, Zhu Chongba hadn't gotten up yet, mainly because he was thinking about things last night and went to bed too late, because he is the person in charge now, no, he will also be the person in charge in the future, and many things need to be thought out in advance.
Otherwise, if you wait until something happens and then think about it, it will be too late.
The storyteller gave him the manuscript of the storybook, which is the novel of later generations. The book is the same book, but what everyone gets is different.
Zhu Chongba saw the art of war from above, which was his unique ability. In fact, Zhu Chongba himself thought this was normal, because to him, the art of war was actually written in the book. It’s written, why can’t others see it?
That's what genius is, and it's not something ordinary people can understand.
In the open space outside Goudan's house, there were Zhu Chongba, Xiaobao, Goudan, and the thirty newly found children.
It's a strange combination. Zhu Chongba was wearing a monk's robe. Among the others, the one who wore the best was Xiaobao. Of course, this is also because of Zhu Chongba, who bought Xiaobao's clothes. It turns out that Xiaobao's clothes are too shabby.
The other children, including Goudan, not only wore shabby clothes, but also wore colorful and various clothes, because Zhu Chongba had told Goudan to wear the best clothes.
Zhu Chongba saw it in his eyes, but said nothing. He was sorry that the people's livelihood was so difficult. As long as they were around, it would be fine. The rest had to be slowly figured out.
Although Zhu Chongba can change their clothes, it is not the time yet. After all, this is the first time he has seen them. Zhu Chongba still likes ambitious children.
If any of them perform poorly, Zhu Chongba will not pity them. After all, there are too many pathetic people in the world.
This group of children were still chattering, "Master, will you really buy us sesame cakes?" The children who spoke were drooling.
"What's your name?" Zhu Chongba asked kindly.
"My name is Guo Shiba." Guo Shiba said very confidently.
"If you perform well, you can eat sesame cakes. Guo Shiba, you dare to speak your thoughts loudly, very good." Zhu Chongba praised Guo Shiba.
I don't know what happened, but when Zhu Chongba heard about the person named Guo, he felt inexplicably fond of him. Is it because the first person he met when he joined the army was Marshal Guo?
may be! Although Zhu Chongba knew a little about the future, not everything. He still needed to do many things.
For example, let’s train troops! He is a layman, but he has to do it, and he has to do it himself, and he also needs to practice martial arts.
Zhu Chongba thought of the Shaolin Temple warrior monks of later generations. Those people were really amazing.
"We listen to Master Zhu." The group of children shouted in unison.
The children's voices sounded very pleasant, and brought Zhu Chongba back to the training ground. He was a little distracted just now and thought about too many things.
Thinking too much is not a good thing. Although the old saying goes, think twice before you act, but often you lose the courage to act after thinking this way. Zhu Chongba doesn't want to be a person who just thinks but doesn't do anything.
"Yesterday some of the children among you have already worshiped me as their teacher. I want to see the performance of the others. I will accept the good ones. The bad ones will not come tomorrow." Zhu Chongba became stern and explained that things were necessary. In this way, no one pays attention to the laughter.
Zhu Chongba's words immediately calmed down the group of children. Their poor life had made them a little precocious. They usually worked for the landlords, and no matter how good they were, they had nothing to eat. They must seize the opportunity this time.
"Listen to my order! Everyone, line up into three teams, each with ten people." Zhu Chongba's order was very brief. On the first day today, he didn't want to spend too much time training.
Use the most basic training to see if any of these children are not suitable for serving as soldiers, and replace them with other children tomorrow. In short, Zhu Chongba's principle is to rather lack than to waste.
Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders, and the knowledge Zhu Chongba learned was quite useful in later generations.
Today is to train them to obey, and also to see how their physical strength is? If you are not in good health, you won’t be able to come tomorrow.
"Everyone, look at me and stand at attention!" Zhu Chongba said while making a gesture of standing at attention.
The children followed Zhu Chongba's movements, and the children in the two rows behind stretched their heads. Seeing this situation, Zhu Chongba immediately adjusted his formation to ensure that those behind him could see his movements.
"Take a break!"
Now everyone can see clearly that most of the children are doing well, but some of Xiao Yang's are not doing so well.
In this way, Zhu Chongba started his military training plan. In fact, he was learning and doing at the same time. By teaching these children, he could also improve his own understanding.
Military training practice can test whether the principles of military training he understands are correct.
Then Zhu Chongba asked them to line up and start walking, "One two one, one two one."
Although these are the most basic actions, they are indispensable. When fighting, soldiers form a battle formation and need to be in sync. Otherwise, the formation will be chaotic, the morale of the soldiers will be shaken, and failure will come soon. .
In later generations, Zhu Chongba also participated in military training when he went to college. In fact, he now starts training based on his memories from that time.
As Zhu Chongba's military training progressed, the performance of these children began to diverge. Some performed very well, such as Guo Shiba, but some children did not perform well.
Zhu Chongba kept their performance in mind, and then continued to train these basic movements, because a good foundation must be laid for military training.
About an hour later, Zhu Chongba ended the training.
Because he heard many children's stomachs growling, he was also a little hungry. If he wanted the horses to run, he had to give them grass. If the children wanted them to be obedient, he must give them delicious food.
Although Zhu Chongba felt that some children were not suitable to be soldiers, he also bought them sesame seed cakes with beef today.
