Chapter 126 Military Exercise
Author: Use your soul to aim
In mid-June, Zhang Zongxian took all the disciples of the school to Qingshui Camp in batches.
Every disciple wore new-style breeches, long leather boots, and Fan Yangli, and rode a tall horse, with a knife and a flintlock pistol hanging on the horse.
Their young faces were full of perseverance, and they made countless young people envious and envied countless young girls along the way.
One of the young men who was selling dates with his father saw this scene.
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he immediately knelt down to his father, hoping that his father would allow him to take the exam for the Legislative School.
He also wants to ride a tall horse, wear riding boots, and eat meat every day.
His father did not want his son to follow him in small business all his life. He had been smart since he was a child but had a stubborn temper.
If you become a disciple of Master Zhizhou, you will definitely achieve a great career.
So he took out his savings and gave them to his son, asking him to follow the school's team.
Zhang Zongxian, who arrived at Qingshui Camp, went directly to Boren's command post without rest.
As soon as you enter the command post, you will see a huge sand table.
The detailed terrain from Lanzhou, Shaanxi to Guihua City in Hetao is restored in detail above.
As well as the two side walls of Yansui Town, the layout of large and small military forts, and the detailed distribution of the various tribes in the Tumut tribe on the grassland.
Boren was leading the staff team to formulate an exercise plan, and was so busy that he did not notice Zhang Zongxian's arrival.
It wasn't until a staff officer saw him and reminded him that Boren quickly saluted Zhang Zongxian.
Zhang Zongxian stopped Boren from saluting, walked to the sand table and asked:
"Have you decided where to practice?"
Boren immediately walked to the sand table, pointed out the location of Qingshui Camp, and then pointed to the grassland not far from Qingshui Camp.
"Master and disciples plan to hold the exercise here. There are no tribes grazing here, and several small tribes nearby have been conquered by disciples.
Practice here without being disturbed by others."
Zhang Zongxian nodded and approved Boren's plan, and then asked:
"Has there been any reaction from the nearby border troops?"
Boren pointed to the two fortresses near Qingshui Camp and said:
"Returning to Master, the closest ones to Qingshui Camp are Papaya Round Fort and Gushan Fort. The two forts here are full of military households, and there are no paid frontier troops.
The garrison in the fort never went outside the side wall. The original beacon towers outside the side wall were all old and weak, and they have been conquered by our army.
Now all supplies are provided by our army. No matter how loud the noise of our army's exercises is, there will be no beacon tower to call the police."
"Have the subjects for the exercise been decided?"
"Reporting to Master, the drill will be carried out in sequence according to the plan, including emergency gathering, rapid attack, basic subject drills, and confrontation drills."
Sure enough, it was a blank sheet of paper that was easy to draw on. Boren did whatever Zhang Zongxian taught him? In the end, he cultivated a general with past-life thinking.
Zhang Zongxian looked at Boren with great relief.
"My master, I came here this time not only to observe your drills, but also to let your junior brothers see the world.
During the confrontation drill, the cavalry troops will also attack the infantry formations. The infantry formations will be composed of the academy’s disciples plus the youth battalion.”
After hearing this, Boren asked worriedly:
"Master, although it is an exercise, it is too dangerous for the cavalry to charge into the formation. If the outsiders cannot control the horses, they will inevitably be killed or injured.
The juniors are still young, so it is better to let them watch. The disciple leads the infantry guarding the fort to resist the cavalry charging into the formation."
Zhang Zongxian patted Boren on the shoulder.
"You haven't seen them. They were all arrogant along the way. As a teacher, I want to kill their arrogance and make them fearful.
When the time comes, just slow down the impact speed. The war horses are not stupid and will not collide with the military formation. This is also a test for you and your horse control skills.
Tomorrow your senior brother will come with the remaining junior brothers. He will be asked to command the military formation.
You go and arrange your junior brothers first, and I will take a look at the sand table here."
After Boren left, Zhang Zongxian stared at the sand table and Guihua City, thinking about how to conquer the grassland.
Both line infantry and wall cavalry were learned by Zhang Zongxian from the Internet in his previous life, and he was not completely sure of their actual application.
The results of the confrontation between line infantry and frontier troops are pretty good. The application of cavalry must be learned from practice.
This exercise is also to test the results of cavalry training to see if the cavalry trained in this way has combat effectiveness.
Autumn is coming soon. Let's conduct a drill to test the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. If there are any inappropriate things, we have to correct them urgently.
The next day Liangchen took the remaining disciples to Qingshui Camp. After reporting to Zhang Zongxian, he began to arrange for the juniors to camp outside the border wall with the youth camp.
This is also to let them get familiar with each other so as not to be confused during the exercise.
The children in the youth camp are actually generally a little older than the students in the academy.
After all, even if a child has spirituality, it will be wasted away by hunger and heavy work as he grows older.
Therefore, children who can pass the exam are generally younger.
However, the students in the academy are well-fed, well-dressed, and study every day, and they are ahead of the children in the youth camp in terms of height and temperament.
After the two teams merged and arrived outside the side wall, the children from the youth camp took the initiative to disassemble the harness and feed the horses for the academy disciples.
From the perspective of the children in the youth camp, these horse-riding peers must have a nobler background than themselves. They should be doing this kind of work as a servant.
The disciples of the academy accept the service as a matter of course. This is true even for a few disciples.
Then the college disciples handed over the matter of setting up camp to the youth camp, and they started playing in groups near the camp.
Many disciples were very happy and indulgent when they saw the grassland for the first time.
When Zhang Zongxian came to check, all the disciples of the college were herding sheep, chasing and fighting around, and there was no organization at all.
What's more important is that if you don't do the work yourself and let the youth camp do the work, you have forgotten your roots in just a short time. How can you expect them to save the people from disaster in the future?
With a livid face, Zhang Zongxian called his four direct disciples over. They were all scolded.
"Is this how you manage the college? This is beyond the borders, and you don't have any vigilance at all? I always emphasize the importance of organization and discipline as a teacher, but I have forgotten it.
If Tatars come out at this time, you will be the lambs to be slaughtered. Haven't you seen it when you read history books? Two-legged sheep?
Who else asked you to control the youth camp? How do I teach you on weekdays? Have you forgotten the great cause of the school?"
The four direct disciples did not dare to show their anger. They also went crazy after entering the grassland.
The good minister had never seen Zhang Zongxian so angry before, so he quickly tried to persuade him.
Master, I, the senior disciple, failed to make arrangements and explain to Junior Brother Hu and the others. If you want to punish me, please punish me, the senior disciple.
"I want to punish you, but not now. Why don't you quickly take them to reorganize and set up camp."
