When the training started, Liu Haojia separated all the servants to lead a team of people and asked them to learn the formation drill. As a result, during his inspection, he found that these people could not stand evenly. When lifting their legs, they never knew which leg was the left leg and which leg was the right leg! There are even some who walk around! The servants who trained them were driven crazy! Liu Haojia also had a headache after watching it!
Only then did he remember something. When he came to modern times, he saw an anecdote. It said that when the British colonized India, British officers tried to train some Indians to be soldiers. It took them half a year to distinguish left from right. leg! At that time, he thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect to see the actual scene today!
In desperation, he could only use a method he had heard of, which was to wrap a straw rope around each soldier's left leg so that the soldiers could distinguish their left and right feet! Even so, these soldiers barely made some progress.
After more than ten days of training, the soldiers finally managed to remember their positions and knew where to stand when gathering. Except for a few people, most people also know how to distinguish between left and right feet, and the best news is that no one finally walks smoothly!
Just when Liu Haojia breathed a sigh of relief, the court documents he had been waiting for finally arrived, and the land he needed to request was indeed assigned to Jin Yiwei's name. And just as he guessed, Emperor Wanli contributed a lot, and the area designated was 40% larger than expected!
After receiving the paperwork, Liu Haojia adjusted the training time. There was still formation training in the morning, but in the afternoon, he divided all the soldiers into groups of 10 and asked them to nominate a group leader within a quarter of an hour!
This team leader does not have many benefits because it is temporary. But he has the right to add an extra piece of meat to every lunch! This greatly increased the interest of the soldiers! So I started to strongly recommend myself or people I know well.
After wasting two quarters of an hour, they finally selected a team leader for each group. After that, Liu Haojia divided a group of servants, each with three groups of people to line up again and assigned tasks to them. Their task is to clean up all the plants in the reed pond first.
This work took two afternoons. After finishing, I started shoveling earth and rocks from the higher hills every afternoon, and started to pile earth and rocks into a cross-shaped road in the reed pond. Then, based on the center of the circle where the two roads intersect, slowly fill the soil outwards, completely filling the entire reed pond into flat ground!
Some soldiers were responsible for leveling the high ground, some were responsible for transporting earth and rocks, and some were responsible for filling and tamping. Every day their jobs will be rotated to a new position.
As the team trains and works, the cooperation between them becomes more and more tacit. This greatly increases their collective awareness and collaboration capabilities. An army is slowly taking shape!
When Liu Haojia started training the soldiers, he did not block the idlers from watching, and now he doesn't even have a camp, so he can't block other people's sight. So when he trained soldiers, many people laughed at his training methods!
Everyone feels that they have only seen soldiers practicing with swords and guns, but they have never seen people who can train good soldiers just by walking around! Moreover, the soldiers had two ounces of meat to eat at noon every day. This was simply a waste! What kind of meat do a bunch of Qiu Ba eat? But when the soldiers began to fill in the reed pond, all the onlookers were surprised!
I saw these soldiers moving like ants in an orderly manner! Under the command of the servants, people in all aspects are connected seamlessly! Even when the two teams crossed paths, there was no trouble. While ensuring the quality of their work, they maintained a fairly fast speed. It doesn’t look like the usual mess at work!
Moreover, there were people in the crowd who were watching Liu Haojia's every move. When they saw such a scene, they immediately passed the news back. The people behind them even went to the scene dressed in casual clothes to see if their claims were exaggerated! This person is Cui Junyong, the general stationed in Tianjin!
He stood among the crowd and watched the orderly soldiers picking up stones and carrying soil to fill the reed pond and consolidate the land. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised! A group of idiots who didn't understand anything seemed to have been transformed in just a few days! Could it be that walking around is really a magical way to train soldiers?
But he gave up the idea after a second thought. Because if this method is really the secret method of military training, then how could Liu Haojia expose it to others in public? Maybe it's just that Liu Haojia is good at mobilizing manpower and directs it well! But everything he saw in front of him was enough to stimulate other thoughts!
Others don't know, but he himself knows that there is a life-and-death feud between him and Liu Haojia! Although he was sure that he didn't leave anything behind, he knew that some things didn't require evidence! So he has now contacted the people from the Dominion Association and asked to use their power to transfer him out! He didn't want to sleep next to a tiger!
After the reed pond was completely filled, troop training was on the right track. At this time, Liu Haojia called his men together for a meeting. The meeting was held in the study room of Liu Haojia's newly purchased yard. Participants in the meeting included Liu Ren, Guo Zhankui and Wang Hongrui.
When the three of them walked into the study, they found something strange. There was a thick screen in the study! It sounded like someone was behind the sound, but they couldn't be sure, but they all had guesses in their minds.
In addition, there is a person sitting opposite the screen. He is also a soldier. After everyone met Liu Haojia, he introduced him to everyone: "This person is Li Wenliang of the Denglai Navy. You may have contacts in the future, so you can get closer!"
After the four people met each other, they sat down side by side and heard Liu Haojia say: "Since you already know each other, I won't say more! I'm calling you here to inform you of something. I want to go to sea. You are each responsible for what happens next!”
Liu Ren followed Liu Haojia for a long time, and then casually asked: "Second Young Master, how long will you be out? There are a lot of things going on in Tianjin!"
Liu Haojia said: "As short as four months, as slow as about half a year! But don't worry, you are assigned tasks today!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia pointed to the three books on the table and said, "These are your respective plans. Take them and take a look."
After they got the plan in their hands, Liu Haojia said: "Liu Ren, Guo Zhankui, the main task of the two of you is to build the military camp and then strengthen the training of the soldiers. What I want to emphasize here is that the formation training must not be less than Three months later, they will be asked to practice bayonet fighting!"
