After driving Tan Feng away, Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the coal mining village for the night. Early the next morning, the head miners in the village found that the Patrol Inspector Tan was missing. Instead, the young Boss Zhou, who hadn't shown up for a long time, began to take charge.
"Stop today's work for a day. I want to see what you've done during this time." Zhou Qingfeng used his power to gather the original patrol team and began to investigate. The head of the team was still the direct descendant he brought back from Kulun, and the members were also ordinary children recruited from the west of Fu Shun.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't have time to train this team, and after Tan Feng took over, he didn't have the concept of high-intensity training at all. Daming's army believed in 'one drill every three days, one training every five days'. This was already the standard of a strong army. After all, the army lacked clothes and food, and training too much would exhaust them to death. In Zhou Qingfeng's opinion, a month of military training for high school students was better than Daming's army.
Since the salary was paid by Old Man Sun, the patrol team was still united. At least they recognized Zhou Qingfeng, the boss who paid them. However, looking at their lazy appearance, Zhou Qingfeng was not happy. "They don't even know how to line up. What a bunch of scattered soldiers. Gao Daniu, let them form a team and run ten laps around the village. "
There were more than 40 people brought back by Xu Bing, plus the patrol team's 40 people, there were exactly 90 people. This was all the armed forces in Zhou Qingfeng's hands. He organized this team into a company level Imperial Guard, with three unorganized platoons. Gao Daniu and Wu Daimen were the platoon leaders of the first and second platoons respectively. The third platoon was a female platoon with only a dozen people.
The female platoon was the remaining members of Xu Bing's Women's Rescue Association. Xu Bing had high hopes for this team, but the original 100 people were only left in front of her. Most of the rest had left the organization, and many were killed.
When Xu Bing talked about her "Women's Rescue Association", her eyes turned red and she was full of murderous intent. She kept saying that she would take revenge one day. Zhou Qingfeng did not ask about the details, but he could imagine how fierce the counterattack of the stubborn forces in the villages would be.
"What's your name?" Zhou Qingfeng looked at the platoon leader. When he arranged the female soldiers into a single row, a short, thin woman stood up. She was obviously the leader of the group.
"Reporting to Chief, I don't have a name." The female platoon leader said, "I was originally a child bride of a family. The child I married died of illness, and I was dragged to be buried with him. It was Sister Xu who brought people to save me and pulled me into the team. Because I'm thin, as thin as a stick of firewood, my sisters call me Sister Firewood. "
"Ah … Everyone needs a famous name. Sister Chai Huo, Sister Chai Huo, why don't you just change your surname to Chai Jie? Pure white. " Zhou Qingfeng casually gave her a name, and even used a branch to write the two words "Chai Jie" on the ground.
The thin female platoon leader looked down at the two words, shook her head and said, "Chief, I don't know how to read."
"Give me your hand." Zhou Qingfeng extended his own hand. Platoon leader Chai was less than 1.5 meters tall, and was about 15 years old. After holding her hand, Zhou Qingfeng used his spiritual power to examine her body. Unsurprisingly, she had a lot of old injuries on her body, and because of the harsh life she had been living for years, her body had aged prematurely.
After the spiritual power filled her body, Chai Jie could clearly feel that her body had greatly improved. Although she did not understand what Zhou Qingfeng had done, she still said respectfully, "Thank you, Chief."
This woman was calm and didn't speak much. It was obvious that she grew up in bitter water. Zhou Qingfeng saw that she was carrying a short bow on her back. The female platoon was also equipped with this kind of weapon. This allowed them, who were weak, to increase the distance between them and their opponents, and minimize the close combat that used strength. He pulled the short bow, and found that the strength of the bowstring wasn't small.
"You know archery?"
"Yes. The family I married didn't give me much to eat, so I had to go into the mountains to shoot birds or roast rabbits. If I couldn't shoot any prey, I would starve to death. "
Sigh … Zhou Qingfeng didn't know what to say. The poor people of this era really suffered, and the poor women suffered even more. He called Dog Meat over, took his pulley bow from the back of the saddle, and handed it over, saying, "Try this bow."
The strange-looking pulley bow successfully attracted the attention of the female soldiers, and Chai Jie quickly got the hang of it according to Zhou Qingfeng's instructions. She hooked the arrow with the discharger, but she couldn't pull it with force. This bow was still a bit too strong for a 15 year old girl.
When Chai Jie was about to let go, Zhou Qingfeng directly slapped a Strength King Kong Talisman on her shoulder. Chai Jie's strength skyrocketed, and this time she pulled the bowstring and held it steady easily. She immediately realized the labor-saving effect of the pulley bow when it was stationary, which was very good for aiming.
With a whoosh, the discharger was released, and the arrow shot towards a rock ten meters away. The rock was only half the size of a fist, and it exploded after being shot by the arrow. The strength and precision of the bowstring made the female soldiers speechless, and when they looked at the strange bow again, they were all amazed.
"This bow is already a bit unsuitable for me, but it should be suitable for you. It's very accurate, and the strength is great. However, it shoots slowly, and is suitable for dealing with enemies far away. From now on, you guys will be in charge of mid-range firepower. "
Zhou Qingfeng explained the advantages and disadvantages of the pulley bow, and gave it to Chai Jie. This bow had been with Zhou Qingfeng for more than half a year, and could be considered to have made a lot of contributions, but the strength of the bowstring was now on the weak side for Zhou Qingfeng. More than 20 talismans were sent along with it to increase Chai Jie's strength, so it was convenient for her to use it.
"I think Big Sister Xu should have talked to you a lot about what you should fight for in the future?" Zhou Qingfeng then looked at the entire female platoon, and said solemnly, "Big Sister Xu and I are of the same mind. I hope that you can become a spark, and one day, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and change this world."
Because the number of Pledgers Zhou Qingfeng had plummeted, he didn't have enough spirit energy to squander. But he still did his best to strengthen the bodies of his Imperial Guard personnel, especially the dozen or so female soldiers. These female soldiers were gathered by Xu Bing at a great cost, and Zhou Qingfeng also hoped that they could become stronger and survive as many cruel battles as possible in the future.
"Oh right, you guys still can't read, and you haven't been to the beginner class in school, this won't do." To strengthen his Imperial Guard, Zhou Qingfeng had to change their mentality. But he currently didn't have extra teachers to train them, and the main task of the Imperial Guard was definitely combat training. "What a headache."
"Gao Daniu, is your wife literate?" Zhou Qingfeng suddenly thought of something. "Let your wife go to the school in the west of the city during the day to learn new culture and knowledge, and at night, she will train you as a teacher. An army without culture has no soul, and it won't be able to win the war. "
Gao Daniu was of low birth, and he listened to Zhou Qingfeng's words. He immediately nodded and said, "My wife is also coming to Fushun this time, I'll let her listen to the boss's arrangements. My wife is very smart, she will definitely be able to teach well. "
After the formation of the Imperial Guard's combat order was completed, Zhou Qingfeng also assigned a cookhouse squad and a transport squad to the team. The cookhouse squad had 15 people, and they were equipped with five field cookhouses that were modified from handcart carts. Three carts were loaded with stoves and pots, one cart was loaded with coal fuel, and the other cart was loaded with grains, oil, salt, and vegetables.
The transport squad had 25 people, and they were equipped with 15 handcart carts. The vehicles were used to transport the weapons and equipment of the Imperial Guard, as well as various combat tools and supplies. They were also responsible for taking care of the horses of the Imperial Guard. In short, in order to improve the troop's field marching and combat ability, Zhou Qingfeng could be said to have racked his brains and was generous.
After the formation of the team, they had to train. Zhou Qingfeng put aside the chores in the west of the city, and he even ignored Tan Feng's matter, allowing it to ferment. He focused on researching how to unleash the combat ability of his team. He was not an official officer, and he could not play around with advanced tactics. The only reference he had was a "Militia Cadre Handbook", and he used it to create the infantry drill manual.
"Ah … My military band can finally open for business."
As the weapons were only spears and bows, Zhou Qingfeng's infantry drill manual could only be written for a few thin pages. The combat training was the simplest of spears, and there were no more fancy tricks. At most, he added some content such as earthwork, camping, marching, and vigilance.
That was not all. Zhou Qingfeng trained his Imperial Guard as the seed of the army. Since it was a seed troop, it naturally had all the essentials, even though the sparrow was small, it still had all the essentials.
Therefore, Zhou Qingfeng pulled Qiao Xuenan and the others over to form a communications squad, transferred nurses from the hospital to form a medical squad, and pulled people from the craftsman apprentices to form an engineering squad. And for the sake of reserving talents, these classes had more people. In the end, his Imperial Guard expanded from 90 to nearly 200, and the allocated personnel were more than the combat personnel.
"Wake up at six in the morning, group five-kilometer cross-country. Sigh, with these people's physiques, I'm afraid they won't be able to run five kilometers. Let's set it at three kilometers for now. Otherwise, if someone dies, I'll have to pick up the corpse. After the cross-country, the cooks will make breakfast, and the others will do morning exercises.
Breakfast at seven, and half an hour should be enough. Military training in the morning. Aiya … What should he do with this training content?
What was written in the Militia Officer Handbook? Looks like he could only copy it. Damn, I don't even understand most of the training content. How should I know how to blow the trumpet?
Life training in the afternoon, cultural education classes at night, and emergency assembly at night? That was a must, the experience of fighting at night should not be lost. I only have so few people now, if we really fight, I won't fight them head-on. Sneaking at night is the right thing to do. If that's the case, I'll have to practice more for fighting at night.
What book is this? Martial Arts Study, so thick? This is a tactical arrangement for firearms, can it be used in cold weapons? Forget it, I'll take a look first, and treat it as reading a book. It's my fault for not being able to find books on ancient tactics. "
Zhou Qingfeng spent two days to complete the paperwork, and then he started to practice according to his crude infantry training manual. The entire Imperial Guard became his test subject to train his commanding ability and verify the training manual. Just pulling the team out to run in the morning was extremely tiring. This was under the condition that he had the army to strengthen his command, or else it would be even more chaotic.
