On the third day of the first lunar month, various affairs basically began to re-enter the track.

On the third day of junior high school, ordinary people go to relatives, especially their mother-in-law's house.

However, for the camp by the sea in Tiemenguan, everyone has almost no relatives, and even if they want to leave their relatives, they don't need to go far, because they are in the camp.

And the carefree and happy life in the past few days also made them understand that if they want to be happy like this forever, they must work hard.

Xu Changqing also began to select some clever people from the troops, auxiliaries, including the craftsmen, and gathered enough 150 people to set up a new camp on the opposite side of the church planned by the dock, which was the school that Xu Changqing mentioned to Tang Ruowang before.

They will be here in the future, following John Tong to learn the basics of various firearms, and they are all seeds of the future.

In terms of the army, Xu Changqing selected more than 300 men from the auxiliary soldiers and integrated them into a team of about 1,000 people, 800 spearmen, and 200 sword and shield men.

For the time being, a team of 100 people was led by Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Wang Anshan, Mao Qun, Mao Tiezhu, Zhang Hu, Zhao Qiliang and other generals who were already guerrillas and thousands of households, and began to enter the strictest training mode.

The reason why he chose pikemen was that Xu Changqing also made a choice after careful consideration.

None of them.

Relatively speaking, pikemen are the cheapest and best trained class!

Not only is it faster to form an army, but it is also easier to arrange in terms of formation.

After running and exercising every day, the sons and daughters only practice one action ------ assassination!

Endless assassinations!

From twenty paces away, stab at the target!

From thirty paces away, stab at the target!

From fifty paces away, stab at the target!

Including Xu Changqing, everyone is no exception, and they have to practice hundreds of times a day!

This also makes the surrounding people who are idle and have nothing to do, as if they go to work on time every day, move a small bench, and come over every day to watch the excitement.

Xu Changqing didn't shy away from them, just didn't care about the water and food, and let them watch.

The sons and daughters were not used to it at first, and they were a little twisted, but soon, under the strict military law, they quickly adapted to this rhythm, and they didn't care about the melon-eating masses around them at all.

Ten days later, it was already quite good, and it was time for the first test.

On the wide school field, at this time, the sons and daughters of the 1,000-person team of 1,000 people, lined up neatly and heroically, were waiting patiently.

"First row, end guns!"

"Huh!"

The first test was the first team under Zhao Zengjin.

Hearing the officer's order, the thirty-three pikemen in the first platoon instantly held their guns in front of them in one posture, and their spirits were condensed to the limit.

Looking at the past from the perspective of those melon-eating people, the thirty-three spears completely turned into a straight line, and the sharp spear heads, under the warm sunlight, emitted a dazzling light.

"Ready!"

Following the officer's order, everyone stepped forward with their left leg half a step forward, and their right leg pressed against the ground, just like the posture of starting 800 meters.

"Kill!"

"Kill !!"

As the officer shouted, the thirty-three people were like a group of hungry wolves who could not retreat, and they shouted at the same time, rushing towards the target in front like the wind.

There were already calming officials on both sides of the target, and the results were immediately reported.

"Li Hongfeng, pass! Normal lunch! ”

"Zhang Yuchun, excellent! Add three taels of fish for lunch! ”

"Mao Hong, fail! Lunch fish minus 2 taels! ”

"Zhang Qun, fail, minus two taels of fish for lunch......"

Some people are happy and some are sad.

But they didn't have time to think too much, hurriedly moved out of the way, and quickly returned to their positions.

"Second row, end guns!"

Not far away, the officer's cold drink order came again in an instant.

On the side, Xu Changqing looked at the test that had been on track, and couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Even if the excellent rate of the first row of sons and daughters is less than one percent, many people are annoyed, but Xu Changqing is not in a hurry.

It must be known that the drills of the pikemen under Xu Changqing's command are very different from ordinary pikemen!

Under Xu Changqing, the definition of excellence is that from thirty steps away, you can stab the target's neck at the first time!

And it needs to be right in the center of the target's neck, which is excellent!

If the thorn is a little bit off, but it still stabs in the neck, it is only a passing grade.

If it deviates further and does not stab, it is unqualified.

You can imagine how difficult it is.

It's like a football game, you're on TV, watching the goal is huge, anyone can kick it in, but when you really stand on the football field, especially in a game, you will find that the goal is really small, so small that you can't accept it!

Xu Changqing didn't think about stabbing his chest or abdomen, but the Qing army had an extremely high armor rate, and almost everyone really had armor, and it was far more than a layer of armor.

This made it difficult to inflict real damage if the spear was pierced on the strong armor of the Qing army.

And the sharpest and most powerful part of the pikemen is the explosive power of the rushing speed, which is somewhat similar to that of cavalry.

If this drumming weakens, then their fate after that can be imagined can be imagined.

Although this kind of training is extremely cruel and seems extremely difficult, all the children present understand that they are all seeds.

As long as you practice well, you will definitely become an officer in the future.

The news that Xu Changqing was training for the Son of Heaven was no secret at this time.

Not to mention that there is a hierarchical reward and punishment system between the excellent and the ordinary, and the unqualified.

In fact, people have bad roots.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Pretending to be forced is the biggest demand of modern people!" ”

In his bones, everyone wants to trample others under their feet to prove their excellence.

And this is the best stage.

Xu Changqing had even thought about using the twentieth-level military merit system of the Great Qin Dynasty before, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Changqing still gave up.

At this stage, Xu Changqing does not have enough influence and lacks a large enough territory, so he can only lay a good foundation first.

Soon, the 100 people under Zhao Zengjin were tested, and the excellent rate was only one and a half.

Then came the test of Zhao Zengjin and his two lieutenants!

Xu Changqing's calibration of the team at this time, although it was still in accordance with the military system of the Ming Dynasty, made some balanced changes.

For example, Zhao Zengjin's first team is nominally the general team, but in fact Zhao Zengjin is already a guerrilla.

But in order not to make the sons arrogant, their establishment is still the total.

After Zhao Zengjin, there were two adjutants of the thousand general positions, both of whom were selected from the elite of the old army.

Their main duty is to assist Zhao Zengjin, the main generals, who themselves are controlled by the main generals, but they also have the right to advise and a certain amount of command.

This time, not only can it balance the main general, but also stand under Xu Changqing's control of the troops, on the battlefield, if the main general is killed, it will not be leaderless, and it can still maintain the system.

Here, Zhao Zengjin and his two lieutenants had already picked up their spears and stood on the line.

Ergou made a cameo appearance next to the officer, and joked with a smile: "Lao Zhao, Lao Wang, Master Qiang, you brothers can't compare with your brothers." ”

The three of them glanced at the two dogs, ignored them, and quickly focused all their attention on the spear in their hands and the target in front of them.

Needless to say, Zhao Zengjin's majesty, although this guy's figure is not high, the width of his shoulders is definitely comparable to that of later generations of bodybuilders.

And his two lieutenants are also strong people full of tendons and flesh, and each of them looks like iron towers.

From a distance, although there were only three of them, they were even more powerful than the previous row of thirty-three pikemen.

Seeing that he couldn't harass the minds of Zhao Zengjin and the others, Ergou no longer held it up, his face became solemn, and after a moment, he shouted at the top of his voice: "End the gun!" ”

"Huh!"

Zhao Zengjin and the three of them instantly picked up their spears.

The spears in their hands are not the bamboo spears of ordinary soldiers, but the truly qualified ash guns more than two meters long!

This was bought by Xu Chang Youth from Denglai at a high price ago.

It's a pity that there are not many, less than a hundred, and only the officers can be equipped first.

Of course, this is also a means of widening the rank gap in the troops.

Only if you have the heart to climb up, will you work harder, right?

"Ready!"

Rub.

The three macho men all made a fierce and neat attack posture!

"Kill!"

"Kill !!"

With the order of the second dog, Zhao Zengjin and the three of them suddenly became like fierce tigers, frantically attacking the target in front of them.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Without exception, all three of them were stabbed in the neck, and Zhao Zengjin's two lieutenants were excellent, however, Zhao Zengjin's guy was really a little too fierce, and he directly stabbed the target and flipped it out.

"This ......"

Zhao Zengjin was dumbfounded, and the two adjutants were also dumbfounded, and hurriedly looked at the magistrate, "Master Zhang, this, does this count?" ”

The magistrate was also stunned.

This kind of thing has never happened, Zhao Ye was a little shy, and he hurriedly came over to ask Xu Changqing for instructions.

Xu Changqing smiled: "It can be regarded as excellent!" ”

Glancing at the stunned children, Xu Changqing explained carefully: "Now we are stabbing the target, which seems to be extremely difficult, but in fact it is much easier than on the battlefield. Because the Tartars on the battlefield are not targets, they can move! Moreover, it is possible that someone will also protect the neck! Therefore, this requires everyone not only to stab accurately, but also to be strong! Captain Zhao's strength at this time is up to standard! Even if the sting is slightly off, this force is enough to stab the tartar to death. Therefore, everyone should pay more attention to strength exercises in the subsequent exercises! Do you understand? ”

"Xie Dashuai teaches!"

The surroundings suddenly fell to their knees one by one.

"Excellent! Go ahead! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, the tests continued.

Not surprisingly, until all 1,000 people completed the test, the excellent rate was barely hanging at about 10%, and the pass rate was less than 40%.

At this time, it was also time for Xu Changqing, the main general test, and everyone was excited, looking at Xu Changqing like a god.

Not far away, Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei had already gotten the news and came to watch.

There are also countless children, and the families of the children, who are all watching the field at this time.

Xu Changqing is completely a god-like existence in this land.

Xu Changqing shook his neck and came to the field with a smile.

However, his test was different from that of ordinary people, Xu Changqing directly asked people to set five targets on each side, a total of ten!

Zhao Zengjin personally gave the order: "End the gun!" ”

Swish!

Xu Changqing held the gun instantly, and his posture was as standard as a sculpture.

"Ready!"

"Kill!"

"Kill !!"

As the order to attack was issued, Xu Changqing was like a swift cheetah, rushing to kill the target in front of him!

"Poof!"

The first target was directly pierced through the neck by Xu Changqing and flew out.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Changqing had already pulled out his spear and returned to another target here.

"Poof!"

"Puff puff!"

In just over a minute, Xu Changqing had already pierced all ten targets, and seven of them were directly stabbed out by Xu Changqing.

It was already quiet in the venue.

And even Xu Changqing's physical strength, in the face of this high-intensity test, was sweating profusely for a while, and his face turned red!

After a while, the crowd reacted, and the excitement of worship was indescribable, and they shouted frantically:

"The general is mighty!"

"The General's Mighty !!"
