Chapter 250: The Tempering of Reserve Officers

It was dawn, and after staying in the dim room all night, Chen Xin moved his hands and feet, went over and opened the window, and the cold wind of early spring immediately poured in, making Chen Xin's somewhat drowsy head sober up a lot. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the spacious courtyard, people kept coming in and out of the folders, and there was a series of high-pitched horse chirpings from the stable, and it seemed that the team sent out on the mission last night had returned.

He took a deep breath and quickly adjusted his emotions. Chen Xin knew that as a ruler, it was completely impossible to avoid traitors, traitors, and moths under his command.

If you want to be a qualified ruler, you must learn to adapt, and you must use various means to try to prevent the appearance of these people, rather than sulking yourself.

Looking at the blue sky, he stepped out of the door of his room and headed for the stable on the side of the courtyard.

From afar, you can see that the soldiers are busy. As the most important animal power of the army in this era, war horses are the greatest guarantee for transportation and battle, and they must not be neglected.

Therefore, after a night of fighting and hurrying, the soldiers all looked very tired, but they did not go back to the house to make up for sleep, but carefully brushed their respective war horses.

If you don't take good care of the war horse, you won't go to rest alone, which is a habit that all the officers and soldiers of the Xuan Army have long developed.

Chen Xin's war horse does not need to be taken care of by himself, there is a special person in charge of this kind of thing, but Chen Xin will go to see it every day and cultivate a relationship with the war horse.

The non-commissioned officers and students who were serving Chen Xin's war horse seemed to be a little overwhelmed when they saw Chen Xin coming, and after a little hesitation, they stopped what they were doing and came to stand upright.

Chen Xin said with a kind face, "Take it easy and continue your work." ”

"Yes." The non-commissioned officers were a little cramped, but they still followed the order and started to do their own things again.

The non-commissioned officer and student system of the Xuan Army has been maintained for a long time, and in the first two years of entering the school, the non-commissioned officer students are only divided into two categories: the navy and the army, and when the two years of primary education are over, those with excellent grades will be divided into more detailed specialties for further study.

During their studies, half of the time each year will be assigned to various units for internships, and their internship work varies according to their respective subjects.

The internship of the Navy cadet is to follow the ship, start from cleaning the deck on the ship, and then gradually familiarize themselves with the ship's guns, cables, sails, water pattern mapping, astrological observation, steering wheels and other work on the ship, and finally when they graduate, if they pass the performance, they will be awarded the official rank and become an officer of the Xuan Army.

The first two years of the army non-commissioned officers and students are also in large classes, and during the internship, in addition to receiving military training and various basic education, all of them must be assigned to the command organs of various units, starting with taking care of horses.

The war horses that the soldiers use to fight will not let them take care of them, and those soldiers are reluctant to let the rookie take care of their own treasures, in case they accidentally raise the delicate war horses and go to the battlefield, they will lose their lives.

Therefore, most of the non-commissioned officers and cadets take care of the logistics horses, and part of the command headquarters rides horses.

Because all the logistics of the Xuan Army must rely on horses to transport, and logistics is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the Xuan Army, the non-commissioned officers and students, as reserve officers, must be completely familiar with the habits of horses.

The carrying capacity of various horses, the amount of materials consumed, the speed of travel on various terrains, what kind of diseases they can have, how to avoid them from getting sick to the greatest extent, and so on, cannot be experienced by books alone.

This kind of internship is to hone their will at the same time, let them slowly familiarize themselves with everything in the Xuan Army, and work hard to become an excellent officer in the future.

Only by letting them experience these things first-hand can they lay a solid foundation for them to enter the infantry, artillery, engineering, chariot, and cavalry sub-classes to learn more in-depth knowledge after they are assigned to classes in the future, so that they will not commit the mistake of talking on paper in their future commands.

Glancing at the badge number on the chest of the non-commissioned officer in front of him, he immediately knew that this non-commissioned officer was a freshman who had just entered the school for half a year, and now it should be his first internship, no wonder he was so cramped.

Chen Xin smiled and picked up a stiff-bristled brush, and while brushing, he said, "Brushing Marco is a technical job, do you have to concentrate on knowing?" ”

"Yes." The non-commissioned officer stood upright again, and the brush in his hand threw out a string of mud spots, splashing on Chen Xin's boots, and his face immediately turned red, as if he wanted to come up and wipe it off, but he didn't dare to move, and he was extremely contradictory.

Chen Xin waved his hand indifferently, "Continue to work, I said, we must concentrate when brushing horses, you must know that war horses are our good helpers in battle, and one of the guarantees of our victory, but at the same time, they are also very delicate animals, if you don't take care of them well, there will be various problems." ”

Chen Xin brushed while explaining, "When we brush the bristles, there are a lot of tools to use, the first time, first of all, we must use a stiff bristle brush to brush off the dirt and dirt in the horsehair, this time we need to use some strength, but we must also be careful, don't hurt the war horse, especially the horse's face, absolutely not use a hard bristle brush."

Although our dragon horse is a very gentle good horse, but it also has a temper, once the fire starts, its 3000 pounds of weight, casually bumped, or a kick can kill people, so, I repeatedly emphasize that when brushing the horse, you should be serious. ”

"Yes, General, I remember." The non-commissioned officer saw that Chen Xin had always been kind and pleasant, and he did not even blame him for soiling his boots, and his worried heart finally calmed down and began to brush his horse seriously.

Brushing horses is both technical and strength, and there is nothing wrong with Chen Xin's strong body, but after a while, the non-commissioned officers and students have begun to sweat.

In particular, Xuanjun's "dragon horse" is more than 2 meters tall, and in many places of the war horse, non-commissioned officers and students have to step on the bench to get it, which exacerbates his physical exertion.

Although Chen Xin couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't open his mouth to let him rest, this is his job, he must complete it, this is an important means to hone the will of the non-commissioned officers and students in the army, Xuan Jun will not want those little white faces who are not determined.

You must know that the first two years of training for the cadets of the Navy are even harder, and they have to polish the deck every day within the specified time.

How hard this work is, from the fact that the Navy often asks sailors to wipe the deck when they punish them for violating military law, you can see how tiring this work is.

The army is not a charity, these are part of the necessary training, and must not be undermined by a little so-called "kindness" of their own.

When Chen Xin finished brushing the horse for the first time and cleaned it up for the second time with a soft brush, Lao Zheng came over.

"General, all the operational teams have completed their scheduled tasks, and all the personnel who need to return to the team have returned."
