It was not yet dawn, and the early morning breeze was cool and refreshing, blowing on the face to make people feel refreshed.

Xu Ping got up, Xiuxiu just took care of her washing, put on her shirt and robe, and walked out of the door.

When Tan Hu, who was outside the door, saw Xu Ping coming out, he hurriedly saluted: "It's so early for the official."

"Good morning." Xu Ping responded, walked to the yard, looked up at the sky, and looked at the wisp of fish belly that had just been exposed in the east, and turned a little bit white for a while.

“It seems like a good day today.”

After saying this, Xu Ping took a walk in the yard and moved his muscles and bones. The ancients' exercise methods were more subtle, not as unrestrained as Xu Ping's previous life. He ran away and rode a bicycle, and how to do it. In this era, people with some wealth and status wore big shirts and long robes. Who did you develop a muscle lump for? Not to mention that poor families, they work every day, eat roughly, and have a fleshy body, and it is not easy to grow fat. Generals who go to the battlefield to fight don't need a body of tendon meat. No matter how powerful the brave generals are, they have a small belly. The term general belly is not only found in later generations. In fact, since generals are fighting on horseback, it is normal to have a small belly.

While walking slowly, Xu Ping lifted his breath and tightened his muscles, tightened his tendons, and moved his whole body.

After walking several times, Xu Ping stopped after sweating slightly on his forehead.

At this time, the sky was already dark and everything around was outlined.

Seeing Xu Ping stop, Tan Hu walked up and said, "Officials, today is indeed a good weather, with only a breeze and no clouds in the sky. Look, there is still mist. But now the weather is hot and the weather is getting better. It is even more difficult to bear with the sun, and it is not as comfortable as the light rain."

"What you said makes sense. Besides, the rice is growing in the fields now, and there is no lack of water." Xu Ping stopped here for a while before continuing to tell Tan Hu, "It is not easy to have a sunny day in the rainy season. You can continue to teach the village soldiers in the school military field today. The Si time is here, and after the Si time is not over, the military law will be in action!"

Tan Hu was stunned after hearing this. Officials are trying to make trouble. It’s not easy to have a sunny day. It’s scary to have sunny days in Yongzhou this season. It won’t take long to stand in the sun and take off a layer of skin.

But after Xu Ping said the words, he had to do what he said, and Tan Hu turned around and left.

The two commanding soldiers led by Zhang Rong and Gao Daquan have numbers. Regularly speaking, they should be teaching the soldiers to read the soldiers. They work hard when they are busy. They only teach them to read them once in the spring and autumn when they are free. However, that is the rule passed down from ancient times in this era, and Xu Ping ignored them at all.

In Xu Ping, the two commanding soldiers with numbers are basically equivalent to regular soldiers, and their organization has been maintained. Even if they are engaged in sugar sugar business, they will participate in collective form, which is equivalent to the engineering soldiers in his previous life. The village soldiers composed of other strong men of sugar business must be taught regularly, and those soldiers take shifts every March. Xu Ping also teaches them every quarter. Anyway, every time the strong men participate in the village soldiers, they always have to take the last teaching. Sugar business is collective labor. The organizational form can withstand Xu Ping's struggles.

As for the tutoring, the two commands with numbers are always available, while the others are placed in the Sugar Sugar Self-Armored Warehouse, which can satisfy the use of 5,000 troops. Of course, this is just a backup. In fact, there are only 3,000 soldiers on duty in the Sugar Sugar Township. No matter how many people there are, they cannot be in the teaching ground, but have to go out to find a place.

Today, sugar sugar services are increasingly having various functions of local government offices. In addition to various functional departments, military subsidiaries, ministerial databases, armored guards, and even Changping databases. Each of these warehouses is built, which means that the functions of sugar services are improved and the functions they undertake are also increased.

Last year, Sugar Service even built its own school to produce the military weapons needed. The school was an armoured factory in the Song Dynasty. It was a slightly important provincial and government army, with swords, guns, bows and crossbows from here. There are the largest city school in the capital, and thousands of armor and sabers are produced every year.

The schoolyard here in Xu Ping was much better than that in Yongzhou when it was built. Even the schoolyard in the capital was not as complete in scale and variety, and its technology was far superior. Xu Ping's specialty in his previous life was to do this. He used to use sickles and hoes, but now he used swords, guns, swords and halberds. Since ancient times, he has not divided his family through farming and fighting.

Sometimes Xu Ping also felt that it was a bit too much to make such a big formation, and was worried that people in the court would gossip. However, according to Han Zong, the prefectures and counties located on the border, especially Hebei, are in this way. Yongzhou is adjacent to Dali and Jiaozhi, and Guangyuanzhou is in chaos in the territory. It is not a big deal to set up such formations, it is very normal.

Before becoming a Jinshi, Han Zong entered the officialdom with kindness and served as a minor official in Hebei as a candidate. What he said must be reasonable. Xu Ping put his heart down and organized the sugar sugar service to prepare for the war.

As for the teaching reading that Tan Hu notified today, it was not Xu Ping who was willing to make trouble. He always regarded the teaching reading as an exercise. The lineup on the teaching field is important, and the organization of the matter and the subsequent disbandment should not be careless. Organizing the village soldiers is to come, and they can fight when they come, and they can disperse after the fight. If it is just to show off, then why bother?

On the sixth day of the fifth month, a rare good weather in this season. Since the sun rose red in the morning, there was no cloud in the sky. A white sun hung in the blue sky, making the earth so hot that it was hard to bear.

The village soldiers organized from various settlements of Sugar Service came along the road to the school brigade of Sugar Service in Taiping County. Their organization had already made arrangements when allocating settlements. After receiving the order, the people living there gathered, first formed a team of ten people to rush to the next meeting point, then formed a hundred people, and finally went to a fixed meeting point to form a command of five hundred people. After forming a command, they were on standby, acted according to the orders they received, and rushed to the school brigade together in command units. If there was any war, they would directly join the war.

This team of three thousand people can be organized in half a day and follow the Sugar Service to the places they need to arrive. Meeting this condition, a highly organized and developed road is indispensable.

The pedestrians on the road had long been used to seeing this scene. When they saw the team coming, they stood by the roadside and watched the excitement for a while, they would do whatever they should do. When Xu Ping first organized a rural military parade, not only did the people who came here be disorderly, but they also shocked the people in the whole place, thinking that something big had happened, and it took several days to settle down.

Now it has been different, and this has become a normal life content for sugar business.

Just the new Li Wei looked at it and found it novel. He didn't have classes during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. He followed him to the school garrison. He was stopped by the sergeant at the gate.

As soon as the Si hour arrived, a horn sounded and the chaotic school brigade suddenly became quiet.

The commanders came to Xu Ping to report the personnel situation. More than 3,000 people should be reached, and more than 50 people were missing. This is inevitable. No matter how tight the army is, it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no shortage of personnel.

Xu Ping asked the Han Zong behind him to record the situation of each commander. After the teaching, they would hand over the list of missing persons and punish them according to the situation. Those who fail to get there may not be any punishment. There will always be unexpected things in life. It is not suitable for one-size-fits or the morale of the military. For example, if the father suddenly disappeared, it is impossible to join the military to teach at this time. Anyway, the regulations are clearly written, as long as they comply with the rules, even if there are other things that are not allowed and the regulations are not unexpected, you can also discuss them later.

After reporting to the staff, the commanders returned to the team and shouted another horn before the teaching and reading officially began.

Originally, the head coach should have said a few words to boost morale of the army at this time. Xu Ping was exempted from everything. No matter how nice the words were said, it would be a cliché, which would only make the soldiers disgusted. He had neither the energy nor the talent, and he would come up with a unique statement every time, so he would not say it.

If you don’t say it in normal times, it will only work when it is wartime, and only then will someone really take it seriously.

The first step is the formation drill. Xu Ping ordered his personal soldiers to pass on the flag soldiers. The flag soldiers used the flags to instruct the formation changes of each team and advance and retreat.

The personal soldiers and flag soldiers on the battlefield are key roles, and the flags and tokens that indicate their identities are indispensable. Xu Ping is the same here, both of which he personally arranged before teaching.

There were no telephones or radios in this era. Although the distribution of the battlefield was far inferior to that of later generations when guns and cannons were used, it often lasted for several miles, and no one could hear the shouting. Without saying how far a person's words could be heard, the sound of the few thousand people breathed overwhelmed the sound of a person's words.

The command of the battlefield depends entirely on the flag-and-pitch system, which is also the reason why the court included these things that cannot be killed in the military ban and strictly prohibited them like killing weapons. Without this system, it would be a mob, and it would not be difficult for regular troops to take one to ten. The importance of the vast grassland may be reduced, and the horse-backed nation will run around and pull the battlefield bigger and bigger until it is pulled out of the control range of the command system. But here, the flag-and-pitch is the soul of the army and the direct expression of the will of the commander, and the key means to organize scattered soldiers into an army.

Since ancient times, the Chinese team has been inheriting this system, and by the age of Xu Ping, it has been basically complete. However, it is complete, but not detailed, which often affects the transmission of the coach's orders.

The five-colored flag plus the blue dragon, white tiger, black womb and vermilion bird indicates the direction, the commander's flag and the general's flag are rolled up, standing upright or leaning forward means standing on standby or attack, and then quit the flag and silence, retreat.

This is a fighting style that I have been used to in this era. Xu Ping dared not change it easily, otherwise it would cause chaos and cause great trouble. But he was not satisfied with this rough command method. After thinking about it, he added flag words to this system to supplement the monotonous lack of command method.

Xu Ping did not understand the military flag languages ​​of his previous life. In fact, it was useless to understand them. The shapes of war were completely different, and the flag languages ​​needed were completely different. Xu Ping's method was to explore slowly, and combined with everyone's wisdom, and strive to integrate a set of flag languages ​​that were suitable for the battlefield in this era.

However, up to now, this flag speech system is still incomplete and is still being supplemented and modified.

The sun in the sky slowly began to move towards the top of his head, and the sun shone on his body, making it painful. Xu Ping himself did not wear a parasol and stood under the handsome man in military uniform.

The horn sounded on the school brigade field, and the steps to teach the military formation were completed.
Chapter completed!
