Although Chen Yue was born in a military household, he was not a real soldier and did not know much about the training of the army in this era, but he did not plan to train in accordance with the training methods of this era. To tell the truth, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in this era is simply weak, and its training is not worth learning from at all, and Chen Yue is not willing to learn from it, he wants to train a strong army according to his own ideas.

In later life, although he was just a small policeman, he also went to the police academy after all, and the life of the police academy was no different from that of the army, and there were norms for sitting, standing and walking. So he still has some ideas about how to train soldiers.

According to Chen Yue's training ideas, the training of the family members is divided into four parts, one is the cultivation of soldiers, the second is physical training, the third is combat skills training, and the fourth is group cooperation.

The cultivation of soldiers is actually the training of new recruits in military posture, and many people in later generations, including most students, have carried out such military training. Although this kind of training is boring and boring, it cannot but be said that this is the simplest, most direct, and effective way to train troops, and through training from half a month to one month, a group of rabble can be kneaded into the appearance of a trace of soldiers.

As the name suggests, physical training is all about training physical fitness, and the most effective way to train physical fitness is to run. These fifty teenagers were all purchased by Chen Yue from human traffickers, and you can imagine what their previous living conditions were, so they were all thin and weak, and their physical fitness was extremely poor, and they were not qualified soldiers at all.

Chen Yue decided to spend more than a month to improve their physical fitness, and the training method was to run ten kilometers every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and the military camp of the family members was set up in the coal yard outside the city, and there were places for them to run in the wilderness outside the city. In order to train their physical fitness step by step, Chen Yue stipulated that the first ten days were to run with bare hands, the middle ten days were to run with a weight of three kilograms, and the last ten days were to run with a weight of ten kilograms.

This kind of high-intensity training not only trains the soldiers' physical fitness, but also exercises their will. If you can't adapt to this kind of training, you can only be eliminated, and now you are limited to your own strength, and you can only take the elite route, and training dozens of family members is already the limit of the Chen family, after all, Chen Jianghe is just a general.

This kind of training is extremely intense, and these family members are still sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, although they are already adults in this era, and many people are married at this age, but in Chen Yue's view, sixteen or seventeen years old has just entered high school, and the body is not fully developed.

But Chen Yue had no choice, because time was too tight for him, and now he had entered October of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and it was less than two years since the fall of Beijing.

In order to make up for the consumption caused by the high-intensity training of the family members, and also to enhance their physical fitness as soon as possible, Chen Yue stipulated that the family members have three meals a day and meat at every meal, which is much better than the food of the vast majority of Ming people in this era. Because many peasants in this era, in order to save food, only ate two meals a day, and only one of the two meals was dry. As for meat, many people can't eat it twice a year, and even small landlords with hundreds of acres of land can't eat meat every day. Of course, this kind of food costs a lot, but with the current daily income of the Chenjia Coal Yard, it can still supply more than 50 people's food. Backed by the huge market in Beijing, it is also very convenient to purchase various materials such as grain, meat, vegetables and vegetables.

In addition to running twice a day, there are other ways to train physical fitness such as sit-ups and push-ups, Chen Yue stipulates that the first ten days must reach 80 push-ups and 150 sit-ups, and in the middle ten days, 120 push-ups and 200 sit-ups must be achieved, and after a month and a half, push-ups and 400 sit-ups are required,......

Then there is the combat skills training, after thinking about it, Chen Yue decided that the troops of his subordinates were temporarily set to two types, one was pikemen, and the other was musketeers. Although there are many musket problems in this era, the shooting efficiency is low, and many times even the bow and arrow can not be compared, but the archer needs to be trained for several years to form combat effectiveness, and the musketeer only needs a few months to skillfully operate the firearm to pull the battlefield, so in terms of training cost, training a musketeer is much cheaper than training an archer, which is why the musketeer gradually replaces the elimination of archers.

However, at present, Chen Yue does not have a musket in his hand, although he has asked his father Chen Jianghe to get a batch from the Shenji Battalion, but one is that the army has extremely strict control over firearms, but the quality of the muskets of the imperial army in these years is really worrying, shoddy and rotten abound, and there is no one in ten muskets that can be fired safely, and they also have to risk being injured by explosion and boring. So the best way is to make firearms by himself, so these days, Chen Jianghe usually stays in the blacksmith shop when he has nothing to do, and begins to make firecrackers by himself, and also privately places orders from blacksmith Lao Zhang and others in the army, and entrusts them to make firearms at a high price. In these years, the production of firecrackers is all handmade, and the blacksmith needs to roll the iron into an iron cylinder with a hammer, which is very troublesome, and the fastest batch of firecrackers will have to wait until ten days to get it, and the number will definitely not exceed ten, so now the combat skills training can only train the spear.

Chen Yue stipulated that every morning the training of the queue military posture, in the afternoon to carry out gun training, as for the training instructor, by Cangzhou gun master Yang Zhengping, Yang Zhengping superb marksmanship, teaching these new Ding more than enough, is now Chen Yue's deputy. Chen Yue decided to wait for a month and a half, and after these families had a certain foundation in physical fitness, military posture, and spearmanship, he would train them to cooperate with the array, identify the flag, and so on.

In view of the fact that most of his subordinates were illiterate peasants, Chen Yue decided to carry out cultural education, requiring each soldier to know five characters a day, and at least eighty words after a month, and after a year, everyone should be able to read and write simply, not requiring them to read and write classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, but to be able to read and write some daily conversations, and to write letters in the vernacular. This last training is a bit of a shocking exercise, because no army in this era has a literacy requirement for soldiers, and in the vast majority of army generals, the more ignorant the soldiers, the easier it is to manage. But what Chen Yue wants to train is not a simple soldier, but the seed of the officer in the future, the soldier can be illiterate, the officer can't, because the officer must be able to read military orders, be able to recognize maps, etc., Chen Yue's ambition is very big.

The whole training plan is very intense and crazy, if it is seen by any general in this era, Chen Yue will definitely be regarded as a madman. However, Chen Yue didn't plan to show it to others, except for his deputy Yang Zhengping, even his father Chen Jianghe didn't know much about the content of the training.
