As night fell, after a day of intense training, the logistics soldiers in charge of cooking carried buckets of rice to the canteen, the staple food was rice and steamed buns, and the vegetables eaten were fish and pickles, and fresh vegetables were not to be thought about. However, at present, all compartments are assembled for training, and the amount of training every day is very large, and the military envoy Li Jungong is also very considerate of the soldiers, and specially ordered that in addition to the full food every day, there are pork and pickles raised by each battalion themselves. In addition, some canned vegetables made earlier, as well as some canned meat and poultry meat, are specially served every day.

After eating, the teams lined up to rinse, and after resting for half an hour, they had to go to class for an hour and a half. Not only must you learn the most basic battlefield first aid and battlefield reconnaissance, but you also have to learn some weapon maintenance and repair, and simple equipment making. In addition, you will learn to read and write, arithmetic, draw maps, and even teach you how to recognize herbs, plough the fields, hunt and other ways in night classes, and even learn simple conversations in several Tibetan dialects.

The soldiers recruited by the Zhendong Army, although when they were recruited later, most of them were selected from good families. The so-called children of good families are serious families, eunuchs or peasant families, merchants and those who are lowly are not considered good families. Moreover, most of these children of good families are homesteaders or small landlords whose families were originally in good condition. Such children are physically strong and have better qualities.

Poor and rich in martial arts, these people have a slightly better family background, and they have practiced more fists, feet and sticks. But even so, there are still very few people who can read. Even if it is a landlord's family, there are not many people who really study. Only those eunuchs, or the children of large landlords, will basically learn literary characters, ordinary families. Providing for your children's education is a heavy burden.

At the very beginning. Evening classes. That is, to teach battlefield first aid and battlefield reconnaissance techniques. Later, Li Jing simply asked the officers and soldiers to learn calligraphy, and then slowly added arithmetic, diagrams and other content. Later, some technical knowledge such as crafting weapons, farming, and hunting was added. The first is to prevent these soldiers from having nothing to do at night and save them from making trouble, and secondly, it is also for the sake of the soldiers. Those who have knowledge will be promoted to official positions in the future. It can also be more adaptable. At present, there is a rule for the promotion of soldiers in the Zhendong Army, in addition to meeting the requirements of years and military merits, how many words must be read. The higher the level, the more words you need to know. To be promoted from a junior to a third-class soldier, you must know at least 100 words. And for each level of promotion, you must know 100 more words, and if you are promoted to a sergeant major, you must know at least 1,000 words before you can be promoted.

In doing so, there is another consideration, and it is also Li Jing's hope to borrow the melting pot of the army. Lift up the soldiers below. In the future, you will not only be able to fight as a soldier, but also fight on horseback. Dismount and manage the people. And if you are injured or disabled, you can also use the culture and knowledge you have learned in the military to find a better way out. It's not just a matter of being assigned to work as a guard, a janitor, and so on.

However, Li Jing's hard work, there are not many soldiers who can really understand.

For many soldiers, he would rather run twenty miles in the morning with two large sandbags strapped to his legs than sit under the lamp at night after a tiring day of training and listen to the mosquito-like buzzing lectures of the gentlemen.

"Bang!"

Finally returned home, Wang Dong didn't even take off the armor on his body, and fell directly on the bed. Although classes are only held in the evenings, there are rules in the camp that you must wear armor and carry weapons in class. Such a regulation makes it the same as suffering from the root of the class, and wearing this heavy armor is even more sinful.

"Husband, I've already helped you make water, let's take a bath first." Wang Dong's wife, Liu, has a big belly and has been pregnant for six months, and now the workshop has given her half a year of maternity leave, three months before giving birth and three months after giving birth. Now she stays at home and doesn't even have to do housework.

Wang Dong has now been promoted to the deputy tenth general of the Flying Bear Battalion in the front compartment, although the whole family followed Wang Dong from Shamen Town to Dengzhou, but Wang Dong also bought a big house in Dengzhou City with the money he saved. The parents and brothers and sisters of the family also came to Dengzhou City, and the two younger brothers were sent to school. is the three younger sisters, Wang Dong did not care about the opposition of his parents, and sent them to the girls' school. The girls who go to school there are basically girls from the Zhendong Army, and there are many daughters of officials in Dengzhou. His fifteen-year-old brother was placed in the army, and his two older sisters were in the workshop.

Wang Dong also took out the savings left over from the purchase of the house and opened a department store in the city for his father, selling some defective products directly from the workshops run by the Zhendong Army. Although the defective products have some defects, they are cheap, open and fair, and not shoddy. For example, lighters, as well as shoes and clothes in the workshop, etc., business is very hot, and now three homeless people are hired to work, which is more relaxed.

Liu was also a famine escape a few years ago, and her parents starved to death, leaving her alone. However, after marrying Wang Dong, he is filial to his in-laws, diligent, virtuous and gentle, and a good hand at housework. Not only does Wang Dong love her, but even Wang Dong's parents and brothers and sisters are also very good to her. Now that she is pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Wang family, she naturally likes it more.

"Lady, let's hire two young girls. One serves you, and the other serves your parents. You see that your belly is so big, and you prepare bath water for me every day, you have to rest and recuperate, this is our first son, the eldest grandson of the Wang family. ”

"My husband goes to study every day, what do I do about this, we are not a daughter, which woman from the village family is not still doing things until the day before giving birth, not so delicate." Liu said with a smile. Although she is just a woman from a banker's household, her husband is now a deputy ten generals, and she is a serious official of the seventh grade. There are 1,000 people in a battalion, except for the 10 generals, the deputy 10 generals are a battalion of high-ranking officials.

Now that her husband goes to study and go to class every night, Liu feels happy. In the eyes of the villagers, those who read and read are amazing people. Looking at the ten descendants who went out of Wang Li Village together, only the current county prince is a scholar and a township tribute, and now he has become a military envoy, assassinated the history and made the county duke, and became a general. is that Wang Shi, whose mind is more lively than her husband, has been with the county prince for a longer time, and has already known a lot of words. I learned a lot. Got a lot of true legends from the county prince. Now they have become ten generals in the battalion.

Wang Dong kneaded his brain and said: "I'm really not this piece of material for reading, every time I sit in that class, as soon as I look at the book, I feel dizzy, as soon as I hear Mr. lecturing on it, my ears are buzzing." As soon as I picked up the pen, my hands trembled. Wang Dong didn't know why. There is always a natural sense of rejection when it comes to reading and recognizing. I am used to holding a pen with a three-edged stabbing gun, and I am always not used to it.

Liu comforted on the side: "Don't worry, husband, take your time." The husband and the gentleman can dance with a spear, can they still not hold a pen and write a few words? She opened the bookcase that Wang Dong had brought back, took out a book from it, and took out pen and ink. Husband, I accompanied you to read and write, and it just so happened that our son also learned together. In the future, as soon as the son is born. Maybe you'll already be able to recognize the words. ”

"In today's assessment, I only recognized more than 100 words. It's not as good as the brothers below. Many of the brothers could recognize hundreds of words. Wang Dong sighed. The lady still doesn't know what to say, our Mr. Xiao is about to enter our Flying Bear Camp. ”

"Did Mr. Xiao also teach at the Flying Bear Camp?" Liu asked.

"It's to be an official." Wang Dong looked a little unenergetic, and sighed again, "There has been a notice from above." The county magistrate ordered that these gentlemen who taught in the army, as well as a group of newly arrived scribes, should all be transferred to the various battalions. It is said that they should be appointed as instructors, and like Yu Hou, instructors will be set up from the team level. Our Mr. Xiao will serve as the instructor of the Flying Bear Battalion when he enters the Flying Bear Battalion, and his position is only below the ten generals of the battalion, and he is above the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the battalion. Now in the Flying Bear Battalion, the first leader is the battalion ten generals, the second leader is the instructor, the third leader is Du Yuhou, the fourth leader is the deputy ten generals, the fifth leader is the battalion Sima, and the sixth leader is the instructor. ”

Although Liu is a woman's family, he was also a little surprised, this new teaching was all scribes and scholars, but it was only below the ten generals of the battalion, and he was the second-in-command of the whole battalion.

"Master, I heard you say that this Mr. Xiao is a well-educated person and a jinshi. But he is a literati, how can he enter the barracks and still be the second-in-command, this literati leads the troops, isn't this a layman in charge of an insider? ”

Wang Dong smacked his lips, "Yes and no, the county prince has set up instructors, although they are the second-in-command in the army, but they don't lead the troops." ”

"Ah, don't lead the troops?" Liu followed Wang Dong and also knew some of the military systems of the Zhendong Army. Several commanders of the first battalion, and ten battalion commanders, are in charge of the whole battalion. And Du Yu Hou is in charge of military discipline, investigating spies, etc., and Du Yu Hou also leads troops. The deputy general is the deputy of the ten generals and assists the ten generals in commanding the troops, the battalion Sima is in charge of logistics and food, military merit records, etc., and the instructor is responsible for training soldiers and horses. Although the rankings are different, they also have their own division of labor.

"And what do they do?" Liu asked in surprise.

"I can't say the specifics, how to say it, according to the words of the military envoy, he is responsible for ideological work."

"What is ideological work?"

Wang Dong thought about it, summarized the words conveyed above in his mind, and said in the end: "In general, the ten generals of the battalion are in charge of the war, and the instructor is in charge of all the things in the battalion except for not directing the war, such as the assessment and promotion of the soldiers below, punishment and demotion, and so on. I feel that in fact, this instructor means the prison army. ”

Liu was very Mingming, and immediately heard the true intention of this instructor from these words, and let them monitor the generals with the position of civilian supervisor and second-in-command. In order to ensure the control of the upper and lower sides, to prevent the occurrence of uncontrolled situations. In particular, according to what her husband said, this instructor is not only at the battalion level, but also from the box level to the battalion level, and even at the lower capital level and team level.

"Mr. Xiao was originally his husband's husband, and now he is his husband's superior, so he can listen to Mr. Xiao more in the future. Mr. Xiao is a literati, and if there is any inconvenience in the barracks, the husband can help more. "Liu's idea is very simple, since he can become a battalion instructor, he must be a trusted henchman of Li Jing. Such a person, of course, cannot be offended.

Wang Dong nodded, added an instructor, and suddenly positioned himself as the second-in-command, which did not have much impact on him. First, this instructor obviously came for the commander of the battalion 10th general, with the implication of monitoring the commander, and second, he was originally only the third-in-command, but now he has been reduced to the fourth, and there is not much difference. The above arrangements must have the above considerations, and all he has to do is to abide by them.

However, although Mr. Xiao is from the Xiao family in Lanling, a big family of scholars, he is still a jinshi. It's just that I heard that because I feel that the world is rampant, I didn't enter the office, and I have only lived in seclusion at home. Previously, he was able to come to teach the soldiers, and it is said that he only came out of the mountain at the request of the old lady of the Xiao family and Sima Xiao Dingbang of Dengzhou. Now that he has suddenly become the instructor of the Flying Bear Camp again, the relationship between the Xiao family and the envoy has obviously become closer. However, it is estimated that the Ten Generals Qiu Divine Skill of the Flying Bear Camp may not be so calm now. Thinking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but chuckle as well. (To be continued......)
