A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 137 Ideology Arms the Army
Although most of these farmers-born soldiers could not read a few words, they could see real money and food.

This is more shocking than the distant promise of becoming a prince or prime minister. It also makes them look forward to the wonderful future and devote themselves wholeheartedly to training.

Even though they had followed Lin Yao in a few smooth battles to liberate Suzhou, most of them just went to make up the numbers and let them see it in advance.

Therefore, when facing queue training, their performance is still uneven.

Infantry fighting focuses on military formations, and the basis of military formations is queues.

This queue is not as simple as one might think. It is not just about standing in a row and walking in a straight line, but also understanding orders, flags, drums, etc.

The ancient army did not have high-tech equipment such as radio communications, so generals would use golden drum flags to command operations.

Orders are conveyed to junior officers and ordinary soldiers through unique drums or trumpets, and then junior officers lead ordinary soldiers to execute the orders.

After rigorous training, officers and soldiers can understand what sounds represent what orders, form a certain organizational discipline, and then unite the entire army as a team.

Being able to do this can be called a well-trained army.

When the well-trained rebel army encounters the poorly trained Song Dynasty army on the battlefield, it will be like the Jin Dynasty's attack on the Song Dynasty in 30 years. The Song army collapsed at the first touch and collapsed thousands of miles away.

Coupled with Lin Yao's land distribution system, it was a fatal magic weapon for the oppressed tenant farmers in the Song Dynasty to win people's hearts.

Once Lin Yao gains an advantage in the frontal battlefield, his followers will be like a cloud.

Lin Yao's instructors lived up to his expectations. They all went into battle in person, holding battle flags, drums, and horns and patiently explaining in front of many soldiers.

The soldiers did not neglect and actively studied.Both parties put in their utmost efforts, and soon the results began to appear. The array that was originally riddled with errors gradually took shape.

The same was true for the subsequent weapons training, and these soldiers were even more curious.

Most of the people present had only dealt with farm tools. The strongest weapon was probably the hatchet at home. No one had ever played with the steel knives, spears, giant axes, or crossbows that were murderous weapons.

These things are very heavy. Fortunately, they are all soldiers born as farmers. They do not lack strength, but are just thin due to lack of nutrition.

And Lin Yao also put a lot of effort into their food, just to build an army with an appearance comparable to modern times.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many ragtag forces in Liangshan, but these local forces only had a few swords and guns, and most of them did not have crossbows or armor.

Bows, arrows, swords, shields, and short spears are not prohibited, but armor, crossbows, and spears are prohibited.

After all, the heavy armor of the Song Dynasty was nothing compared to those without defense and armor-piercing weapons.

With only swords and guns but no crossbows and armor, these people couldn't defeat the regular army at all, but they controlled the force and pointed their fingers at the civilians who had been treated the same as them before.

The officers and soldiers didn't take them seriously.

The Song Army itself has very strict control over weapons such as divine arm bows, and the internal equipment may not be complete.

The army is not enough, and it will be difficult for outsiders to get it.But as long as those military supplies are under the control of officials, anything is possible.

But in the world of "The Adventures of Jackie Chan", Lin Yao spent the money from robbing the rich and helping the poor to acquire a small mold weapons factory.

These weapons can be customized in batches, so there is no need to compromise with those Song Army officials.

Through modern assembly line production, Lin Yao prepared hundreds of divine arm bows and [-] heavy armors in a short period of time.As for why he didn't bring the firearms, it was really because Tianlong World didn't have such a logistical foundation at all. Even the matchlock guns hadn't come out yet at this time.

You can only wait until the territory is expanded before climbing the technology tree. As long as you have enough armor-breaking weapons such as the God Arm Crossbow to form fire coverage, the effect is not weaker than the early volley fire of thermal weapons.

Coupled with the fact that the heavy armors standing in front were in a strict formation, wearing spears and shields, the Song army's cavalry attack was able to break through and attack the crossbow phalanx.

After training in the morning, the soldiers were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.

Before lunch.Following Lin Yao's instructions, the instructors led the soldiers to line up at the faucet next to the playground to wash their hands.

The water source for this military camp is drawn from the nearby Taihu Lake through electric water pumps from other worlds, and the energy is obtained through solar panels.

These soldiers used the faucet for the first time and were shocked by this metal thing. With a slight turn, clear water flowed out from it.

In a large military camp, if hygiene is not taken seriously, it will not be a trivial matter if something goes wrong.

After settling down, Lin Yao will also call on all people to pay attention to hygiene, cover infrastructure, and at the same time use Xue Muhua, a medical talent, to increase the penetration rate of medical care at the bottom.

What is prepared for lunch is white rice, plus fragrant pork belly, fresh vegetables, and seaweed and egg soup. It is truly a combination of vegetables, meat and soup.

This kind of treatment may not even be given to the personal guards of the generals of the Song Army.Many soldiers could clearly feel that Lin Yao treated them as human beings and as one of his own.

After lunch, there was a lunch break of more than an hour.

The military rule is that you must go back to the dormitory to take a nap to recharge yourself for the afternoon training.

These soldiers who have been training for a long time are eager for this regulation.

After a short rest for an hour after exertion, the whole person becomes refreshed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered in the big playground and sat in a group as a class. The class leader taught them how to read.

These soldiers have not received enough nutrition, and excessive training will only wear them out.

Therefore, they are taught to read during training breaks. As long as the goal of all literacy is achieved, the combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.

Except for the squad leader and deputy squad leader, everyone in a class was trained by the Xiaoyao sect in advance and knew how to read.

Therefore, these grassroots officers have a very heavy task. They lead this group of peasant soldiers who are full of thirst for knowledge to learn word by word.

Looking at these people, the officers seemed to see themselves a year ago, getting rid of their ignorance step by step.

"General Lin advised us to read more books. After reading and literate, we can think about problems for ourselves. Only then can we be an upright person."

Looking at the confused eyes of the peasant soldiers, the officers stopped explaining. Only through personal experience can one truly understand.

Moreover, literacy is compulsory, and those who cheat and cheat will be punished by the Military Justice Department.

Everyone understands the value of knowledge, but human laziness will force some people to give up. At this time, the role of supervision comes into play.

There is a "carrot" in front and a "big stick" in the back. These peasant soldiers are actually young men, clumsily following the officers in reading and literacy over and over again.
