Chapter 9 Those things in the military camp
As soon as they entered the military camp, Zuo Houde and others were warmly received.
It can be said that in the army, there is only the position of military doctor, which can have good popularity. After all, no matter who is injured or bleeding, it will be no harm to the military doctors.
It cannot be said that it is a relationship of interest, it can only be said that it is human nature and can be understood.
The person in charge of Nandaying is the General of the Huwei Central Army, named Fu Tianyou. This general is actually very famous in Youzhou City, with titles such as "Tiger", "Tiger Idiot", "Crazy Tiger", and "Evil Big Worm".
These titles contain the word "tiger", mainly because this general is a tiger general and must first fight every battle. At the same time, this general is the former "Little Taibao", one of the four major guards of the tiger, leopard, bear and wolf under the current champion Hou Hong Zaixing.
It is said that this "tiger fool" led the army to charge, and directly grabbed the front of his coach. He rushed to the end. He found that his champion Hou had not yet rushed out, so he turned around and rushed in again.
At that time, the champion Hou said to his left and right, "This is my tiger slut." So the nickname was passed on.
Although Zuo Houde had heard of his name for a long time, this was the first time he met.
Fu Tianyou wore a bright silver-white tiger helmet, plain silver armor, Su Luo robe, and eight feet long. However, he looked like a good young man, which was different from Zuo Houde. Zuo Houde thought of this. He thought of this as an evil person.
"I would like to thank you all the doctors for coming to this army for being affected." Fu Tianyou clasped his fists and expressed his gratitude to Zuo Houde and his group.
"I dare not, I dare not, thank you for your hard work, General." Zuo Houde and his party quickly returned the gift.
"The army does not drink alcohol, nor does it hold a banquet. I have thanked for a cup of tea." Fu Tianyou said, and took a cup of tea from the deputy general next to him and drank it all in one go.
"Come here, bring all the doctors to the military camp and take good care of you."
Several personal guards took Zuo Houde and his group to their respective residences.
Their residence was pretty good. The group lived in a courtyard, two doctors and one room. Although the room was simple, there were many things that should have, which was the style of the army.
Later, Zuo Houde and others learned that ordinary soldiers lived in a barracks with ten people. For example, Zuo Houde lived in a courtyard where generals and officers above the military marquis could live.
Zuo Houde and Dr. Zhang Shiqian and Dr. Zhang were in the same room, and there was a courtyard next to it. It seemed that he was a military doctor in the previous army, with a small number of people, less than forty people.
In these two courtyards, seventy or eighty doctors are responsible for the medical treatment in Nandaying.
There are also some special considerations in eating in the military. The food of ordinary soldiers and generals is different. This can help the army confirm the relationship between superiors and subordinates and enhance its leadership over subordinates. Doctors like Zuo Houde still have the treatment of officers and open small kitchens every day.
At the same time, there was a story in Daqian. There was a desperate Saburo Shi San who had to fight first and was never afraid of the war. When asked why, he only said, "I also want to eat the officer's stove." Everyone laughed.
Like Huo Qubing, every time he goes to the expedition, he has a private chef and a veterinarian. It can be said that not everyone in the military can eat and sleep with his soldiers. After all, those who want to pursue fame and fortune are the mainstream. If you don’t show the privileges of your superiors, who will have higher pursuits?
It is precisely this way that I feel that the generals who eat and sleep with their soldiers are valuable, and it can also explain why so many soldiers are willing to die for Wu Qi.
The most basic units in the army are the army, and the army is precisely because of this.
Five people form a rank, and a rank chief; two ranks are one rank, and a rank chief; five ranks are one team, and a rank leader; two ranks are one rank chief; two ranks are one rank chief; two ranks are one rank, and every two hundred people has one military marquis; two ranks are one rank, and every four hundred people has one military marquis.
Usually every five divisions are one battalion, that is, an independent combat unit. Usually, the commander is a general or a captain.
Therefore, usually the troops commanded by a captain are about 2,000 people, and this battalion is the main force in tactical terms. In order to cope with the ever-changing battle situation on the battlefield, sometimes it is necessary to independently organize mobile dispatch troops other than the main force, and Sima of other units is the commander of such non-main force.
The same is true for training in the military camp, one battalion is a training unit. Even Zuo Houde and others are equipped with five or six military doctors in each battalion. Of course, the Nanda camp also assigned some entourage assistants to these military doctors.
Digging a public toilet in each camp is interesting. The military strategy also attaches great importance to military camp hygiene. It is difficult to emphasize that the location of the toilet is very important. It should be far away from the water source and the place where grain is stored. It should be a certain distance from the barracks, but not too far, so as not to the officers and soldiers who use the toilet cannot return to the team in time, and of course it should not be too close.
There is another large group in the military camp, which is the logistics soldiers. Logistics soldiers generally account for about one-fifth of the total number of soldiers in the military camp. It is recorded in "Tongdian·Volume 148":
"The generals went to war and were about 20,000 troops, and they were divided into seven armies. If there were a few, they would be temporarily changed..... The horse and stance plan should be 1,400,000, and a total of 280 teams were to fight, and the remaining 6,000 people were to guard the baggage."
The one who "guards the baggage" here is the logistics soldiers. Logistics soldiers are generally not real soldiers. They are mostly collected by ordinary civilians and are responsible for handling the logistics support work in the military camp, especially the finished food and expired things, which are quickly handled by the logistics soldiers.
There are actually many troops in the military camp. What makes Zuo Houde most interesting is the "scout", which is equivalent to the ancient scouts.
Before the military camp moves forward, several scouts should be sent to see if the front is safe. These people are in unused directions, and there are sequences, with roughly "stair-shaped" shapes.
When the soldier at the front judged his safety, he shook the flag with his flag and told the cavalry behind him to pass it to the back layer by layer. The Tangbao flag usually has many colors. When encountering enemies, the yellow flag will usually shake. The white flag will usually shake for safety, so that people behind him can distinguish it.
There were many rules in the military camp in ancient times, especially in restraining the soldiers. In order to prevent the soldiers from rushing to escape during the march and war, there will be documents in advance to record the soldiers' home addresses and who else in their homes. Once the soldiers escape, they will affect their families and the consequences are very serious. Therefore, even if they are afraid, few deserters will appear.
There is a set of rules in the military camp. The barracks are not too far away. If you click the generals to gather, the soldiers can just come out of the barracks and face the middle ground directly. They are in order and do not need to queue up again. If you cannot leave the station to report in time, you will be punished at the least, and you will be beheaded at the worst.
There is a saying in the military camp: "When the general is clicked and the three-way drum is finished, the one who fails to kill." It is precisely the strict military camp management system that has created countless brave troops. This is the reason why the so-called kindness does not control the army.
