Chapter 86: Years in the Army(1/2)
From today.
Guo Tianyi began his military career.
Some things are indeed as Guo Tianyi imagined. Life in the military is not that simple.
In the morning, Guo Tianyi learned some simple tactics from Yuwen Yuanzhen. In the afternoon, various generals acted as boxing and kicking masters, teaching Guo Tianyi some military fighting skills.
As the saying goes, three feet of ice does not freeze in one day. Guo Tianyi now understands the difficulty.
Don't look at simple sword skills and spear skills. If you want to be proficient, you need to work hard.
The first three days were the most painful.
Guo Tianyi trains every day and suffers from back pain.
In the evening he would return to the palace and spend the night.
After all, there are a lot of beautiful wives and concubines at home.
After a busy day on your own, it's okay to go back and let the maids relax you with a massage.
In the following days, Guo Tianyi's physical fitness skyrocketed.
Even after a day of training, there is no waist pain or back soreness.
Time flies like a dog, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The meal for lunch today is very simple.
Braised tofu.
Pork and cabbage stew.
White flour buns.
Green vegetable soup.
This kind of food is already very good.
This is still an ace team.
Some military-style meals are simpler.
Basically, there is a meal of meat at noon every day, either pork, chicken, duck or fish.
As for the beef...
Don't even think about it.
The heroes in movies and TV shows often only have a jar of soju and two pounds of soy beef. Such a thing would never have happened in ancient times.
As cattle are an important productive force, it is prohibited to slaughter them at will.
Except for the royal family and their relatives, ordinary people may not necessarily eat several meals of beef a year.
This is especially true in the military.
The most common ones are pork, chicken, duck and fish.
"Your Highness, how did you go with studying the first three volumes of Military Art?" Yuwen Yuanzhen said while eating and looking at Guo Tianyi.
There were only two masters and apprentices in the Chinese army's tent.
Guo Tianyi’s learning speed is extremely fast.
Basically, it takes three or four days to familiarize yourself with a volume of military literature.
In this regard, Yuwen Yuanzhen always felt that Guo Tianyi was swallowing his jujube.
So I asked deliberately, wanting to test Guo Tianyi's learning progress.
"Teacher." Guo Tianyi took a bite of the white-flour steamed bun and said, "I've already eaten the first three volumes of The Art of War. I wonder if Teacher can give me some soldiers. I want to practice them myself..."
"Um?"
"So fast?"
The corners of Yu Wenyuan Zhen's mouth twitched fiercely and he said, "Since Your Highness wants to train in person, then Your Highness will select a thousand soldiers to train. But let's talk about it earlier. If Your Highness's training results are not good, I will
I will punish His Highness for copying the military manual a hundred times!"
Even though Guo Tianyi has great talent.
Yuwen Yuanzhen also felt that it could not be so fast.
After all, the art of war is easy to talk about on paper, but not so easy to practice in practice.
If Guo Tianyi speaks lies, he will definitely punish him.
A strict master produces a good disciple, which refers to people like Yu Wenyuan Zhen.
Guo Tianyi has been training in the army, so he must obey his rules.
Otherwise, everything will depend on Guo Tianyi's temperament, which will not help him but harm him.
In the end, you can't learn anything, and it's not good to become a castle in the air.
"good!"
"We have an agreement."
"Teacher, just check it out when you get there."
After Guo Tianyi got Yuwen Yuanzhen's consent, he finished his meal in three strokes, five divided by two, and quickly left the Chinese army's tent.
"This kid..."
Yuwen Yuanzhen looked at Guo Tianyi's back, feeling both love and hate in his heart.
King Han's learning ability made him extremely happy.
But he always felt that Guo Tianyi thought of everything too simply.
Training troops is not that easy.
Guo Tianyi won't care so much.
I am a time traveler myself.
There are encyclopedias from later generations in mind.
I have read a lot of information about military training, so I naturally have a good idea of what to do.
When the generals of each battalion heard that Guo Tianyi wanted to train troops in person, they all rushed to give Guo Tianyi people.
No one wants to miss the opportunity to curry favor with the King of Han?
In desperation, Guo Tianyi could not resist the enthusiasm of the generals, so he selected some soldiers from each battalion to form a team of one thousand people.
Soon, Guo Tianyi inspected the thousand soldiers in front of him at the school ground.
Soldiers in this era are not like those shown in movies and TV dramas, who practice every day.
Even the Long Xiaojun only practices once every three days.
In some military camps, drills are conducted once every five days.
As for the partial troops in some counties, if they can go out to suppress bandits in a month, it is considered the best training.
Ultimately, it is a food issue.
Ancient soldiers, even the elite of the king's division, could not support tens of thousands of people training every day.
If high-intensity training is maintained every day, soldiers will consume a huge amount of food.
The country cannot afford such consumption?
Especially for the border troops, training is basically only once every ten and a half months. Small-scale conflicts on the border are the best way to train troops on weekdays.
For the convenience of management.
Guo Tianyi directly copied the barracks system of the ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty.
Each team has 10 people and a team leader.
Each team has 50 people and a captain.
Each brigade has 2 teams with a total of 100 people and a brigade commander.
Each regiment has 2 brigades with a total of 200 people and a regimental commander.
One thousand people were divided into five regiments by Guo Tianyi, and five regiment commanders and captains were selected. This made it much clearer.
Nowadays, in Dafeng, the military camps are basically filled with positions such as centurions and thousands of captains, but it is not as easy to manage as this distribution.
Hua Feng and other generals came from time to time to observe Guo Tianyi's training progress.
Seeing that Guo Tianyi has broken it down so strictly, I should just watch the show.
After all, everyone felt that Guo Tianyi just arrived at the military camp out of interest.
Did they know that if Guo Tianyi's training results were not good, he would have to copy the military manual a hundred times.
It's not that they want to see Guo Tianyi defeated, it's that everyone feels that things in the military are not easy to achieve overnight.
To be continued...
