Chapter 1604 Barracks
Sun Jingting's tent is in the middle of the camp. The camp with thousands of people is very large in scale. Various areas are needed to be opened. Along the way, there are many soldiers who are resting and resting in groups. There are areas for rest and entertainment in the camp, and they can play football or play polo. This is all Zhang Han's recommendation. Physical fitness and group training do not necessarily have to be done seriously. Polo and football can train the soldiers' cooperation awareness and team consciousness, and can also fully exercise their physical fitness.
Sun Jingting narrowed his eyes and saw a team of more than a dozen soldiers running back and forth with a ball. He was not very interested in this ball. After all, he was a juren and had been well-read since childhood. He asked him to lift up the hem of his robe and run with the soldiers, which really couldn't help but hide this face.
It is natural to look at it if you don’t leave the field in person. The ball is sewn from cowhide by a craftsman. It is quite elastic and has a large field. Ordinary people will sweat like springs and pant like a cow when they run on the field for a few laps. Many people who like to play football do not need to be supervised and exercise their physical fitness every day.
Even if Sun Jingting was not very interested, he was standing there and shouted a few times for the soldiers who were playing football.
With Sun Jingting watching, he played football harder.
If it is a normal military camp, there will be a larger venue for playing polo. The soldiers of the Lancers' regiment love polo, which can not only compete for victory by horse racing, but also show equestrianism.
People with little courage cannot play polo, speed up at high speed, control horses freely, and change their figure and swing to hit the ball. If you are not careful, you either fall down from the horse or get hit by someone else's club, your head is broken and bloody, or even your bones are broken. Sun Jingting can only shake his head and sigh at this more barbaric movement.
But whether it is Cuju, which was popular in the Song Dynasty or the most popular polo in the Tang Dynasty, it is an excellent exercise for physical fitness, courage and teamwork, which inspires people's passion and competitive spirit, and can also consume a lot of energy from the soldiers, which is also very important.
The merchant army banned gambling and alcohol, and supported the soldiers for finding women to get married. Ordinary soldiers said they were married and reported to them. The Military and Political Department would allocate a sum of funds to them for marriage. The amount was very small, but they expressed a supportive attitude, which also touched a lot of people.
If you are not supportive or object to finding women to have fun at the resident, as long as you do not return to the camp after the deadline and do not fight, the military law will not be restricted.
A young man with seven emotions and six desires, and a strong energy and sufficient physical fitness cannot not look for women. It is better to guide him than to prohibit him. As long as he abides by the law in an orderly manner, it is not a problem at all.
Sports and women's relaxation are considered to be relaxed and relaxed, and the way of civil and military affairs is relaxed. The military law of the Shang army is strict and meticulous, and there are some loose places. What Zhang Han wants is a strong army with flesh and blood. He cannot build an army composed of ascetics. It requires stronger theories and a new system and worldview to make the army almost religious to succeed. Zhang Han asked himself that he could not do it.
Of course, there is no female camp in the merchant army, which is also something that has existed in many historical armies. Thieves and rebels will even carry a large number of women to the camp for soldiers to use. Zhang Han does not have a serious mental cleanliness, but he still refuses to do such things.
There are also many people playing doubles and chess, and many people reading books through the winter sun, but they usually read idle books. If you really study hard and want to take the military exam, you will usually work hard in your own tent. Even if it gets dark, you will light the lights and continue reading.
The size of the merchant army is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of soldiers is increasing, and the level of officers' tests is also rising.
Five years ago, as long as you read more than 1,000 words, you can write and write a paper, and you can understand the map, you can pass the junior officer test. Now it is difficult. You have to look at the map based on battle examples, even deduce the battlefield, configure the troops, and dispatch the troops. In the intermediate examination, you have to be stricter in the examination of military arts. At the same time, you have to read history well, even the history of the Thais, and you also need to understand the tactical characteristics and weapons of each army. At the same time, the intermediate officer test will be subdivided into various types such as military judges, military officers, military officials, etc. To get into these officers, you need to focus on the study of laws and regulations, which is quite difficult.
On the other side of the activity area is the territory of the cooksmen. Many cooking trucks were parked, drainage ditches and landfills were dug to deal with domestic waste and sewage.
After seeing this, Sun Jingting couldn't help but smile. I'm afraid that the only one who camped like this and dealt with the garbage carefully was the only one in the Hutchison Merchants Army.
Not to mention marching, even many prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty were dirty, and fortunately there was nothing available in the countryside these days, otherwise they would have thrown around and people lack this awareness.
On the contrary, Hutchison's military camp is so neat and clean, and the same is true for the trestle. This atmosphere has affected a lot of people and places, and now it is very particular about the same area in the Greater Sinica, North and North of Shanxi.
Order, tidy and hygienic are all things that Zhang Han cares a lot about. Many things are details, but if all the details are not paid attention to, what is the difference between the Shang Group Army and the Ming Army?
Why is the Ming Dynasty said that it was all-round backward, and the army that could imitate the Lumi guns and the Red Barbarians cannons still lagging and barbaric, and it was completely out of date from mobilization to training and daily management. Not to mention that compared with Europe in this era, even compared with the Qin army in the pre-Qin period, it was still far from that.
This is a regression of civilization, not a single Chinese, nor is it a rare phenomenon. What Zhang Han needs to do is to correct the source and change it from the source.
If you do not change your overall habits, do not start from the details, do not fear the law, respect rules, and be clever, you always think that people who abide by the rules are fools and see the big ones from the small, and both individuals and the country will continue to suffer losses.
There are fireworks everywhere on the cooking cart. Although the sky is still bright, the winter is short and it will soon be dusk. Then it becomes dark. The soldiers are all trying to cook. After camping, they will no longer ask the soldiers to eat dry food and canned food. The army brings a lot of rice and grain, steamed into steamed buns or dried rice, and then served with dried smoked pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks and other meats. With vegetables, they are usually cooked in a large pot and added some salt.
This cooking method that is not crafty is quite popular, and the mixed meat and vegetables cooked from a large stove in firewood are quite popular among soldiers.
There are already many impatient sergeants or team officials waiting with people carrying big buckets. There are no training tasks and they are already waiting for dinner.
When Sun Jingting walked through this place, he felt that his heavy thoughts became much more relaxed and lively.
But no matter what, it feels so at ease that these soldiers from the Shang army are behind them. No matter what big things are, looking at the people around you, you should find a solution.
Although it is not time to completely break up with the Ming Dynasty, Sun Jingting has made a decision. If necessary, he can break Jizhen!
Since the Ming Dynasty was ungrateful, it would be okay to really teach him a lesson. Let’s see what will happen to the court after defeating Jizhen.
Of course, this move cannot be done unless it is absolutely necessary, and if you really want to get in, Zhang Han’s safety is the top priority, and you need to ask Zhang Han to leave Xinpingbao and return to Qingcheng in advance.
When it comes time to meet in real war, it is not very meaningful for Zhang Han to stay in Xinpingbao.
Sun Jingting felt a little guilty. Zhang Han entrusted his big things and did a little bit of a rude thing. But no wonder he was the time to take action this time. Zhang Han had already returned to Xinpingbao, and Hutchison was in the frontier. At this time, the port was closed and the road was banned. It was not forcing Hutchison to take action? How could he be so stupid? The court itself was not ready. It would have to be half a year later that he could barely have the confidence to confront Hutchison.
This kind of confidence is also quite ridiculous in the eyes of Hutchison. It is nothing more than building some military castles, equipping more firearms, crafting some troops that are easy to dispatch, and enriching the generals and nethers.
If we really want to fight, the Shang army felt that the Ming Dynasty's King's Army was not much stronger than the Northern Barbarians.
One difference is that the Ming Dynasty has a strong national strength and really starts a full war. The royal army can quickly replenish some of the losses. Relying on a large number of military fortresses, the defense of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty is indeed much tighter than the empty grassland war in the Beilu. Moreover, the more we go to the inner town, there are many towns and villages in prefectures and counties. After the battle starts, we must control the strategic transportation roads, determine the logistics supply base, appease the people's hearts, and determine the rule.
Compared to being straightforward on the grassland, attacking Ming is definitely a very important matter.
On the Donglu, from the 47th year of Wanli, to the 6th year of Tianqi to the attack on western Liaoning, to the second year of Chongzhen, to the Battle of Songjinzhou in the 14th year of Chongzhen, to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, to the entry of pass in the pass in the 17th year, and then to the first year of Kangxi Emperor Yongli was taken to Kunming Naizhi. If the entire war to pacify the whole country was counted from the time when Tianming Khan fought Fushun Pass, it lasted for nearly sixty years before the whole country was unified.
If the Shang army went to full war with the Ming Dynasty, if people did not follow their hearts, they might not succeed within three to five years. This is also Zhang Han's concern... There is also an Eastern Captain who is eyeing him.
Sun Jingting's tent was very large, and tents were set up on both sides of the main tent, like a tall house with one main and two auxiliary.
It is the place where people meet and meet and work, which is used to rest on the left and the place where the entourage staff work on the right. The official business of the Political Affairs Hall is quite busy, and there are some personnel responsible for daily management. The Military Command Sun Jingting has already handed over it and is directly under the Privy Council. Now he is in charge of the military and political and military supplies departments. However, the Staff Office still has a staff officer on the side of the Political Affairs Hall to provide Sun Jingting with staff advice and military consultation.
Zhang Han has always had professional staff members around him. Zhang Han has no problems with those big names, only believes in his own judgment and does not listen to the advice of professionals.
The purpose and direction can be thought of using wonderful ideas, but in normal times, Zhang Han prefers more professional operation methods and routes provided by down-to-earth professionals.
When Sun Jingting entered the house, he pressed his hands on everyone, saying that everyone would not have to waste their time on the empty gifts.
