Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 312
At the foot of Dengyun Mountain, an artillery camp of the Protectorate Army.

When Sun Xin walked into the camp, he saw Zeng Sheng and several soldiers dismantling the gun carriage together. After dragging the gun, they cleaned the gun bore with vinegar water with a strong sour smell.

Looking into the distance, I saw Zhu Biao was carrying shells with several other strong farmers and soldiers, and several people from the Artillery Academy were training with other farmers and soldiers in uniforms without badges.

"How is the training attitude of these apprentices?"

The artillery company commander who followed said: "The attitudes are good, no worse than other peasants who come from hard backgrounds, but some people have a mentality but a good body, but they can't keep up. After all, they are born from rich families, and many of them are not very suitable for training."

Sun Xin: "Is there anyone who wants to retreat?"

"A few of them were injured during training with poor physical strength. I don't know if they can persevere."

Sun Xin nodded. Unlike students from engineering colleges and agricultural colleges who were sent to front-line posts and could make achievements immediately, college students from military colleges not only did not quickly demonstrate their abilities far surpassing other soldiers after they were put into the army to practice. It is to learn from the soldiers.

Sun Xin talked with the artillery company commander for a while, and his conclusions were similar to his observations on college student soldiers in other military branches. Now that the student soldiers are placed in the team, if they really want to go into battle, it is estimated that the two student soldiers together would be worthless. It cannot replace a current experienced officer. In the future, practical training will still require teaching and guidance to make them qualified generals.

However, Sun Xin can see that this kind of military training is still effective. In the future, if his army wants to expand, he still has to rely on this period of college students as the backbone.

Being a soldier is different from doing other technical jobs. It is impossible for a tender-faced youth in his twenties to be sent directly from school to the army and let him command the soldiers under him.

Especially the peasants and soldiers of Sunjiazhuang who have killed people on the battlefield with great military exploits. They don't care what your rank is, they will still be unconvinced when they should be unconvinced.

Sun Xin and Luan Tingyu formally took this into consideration, so that the students of the military academy should not only learn the basic knowledge, but also participate in military training with the peasants and soldiers.

This kind of exercise is not officer training, but the most basic army exercise with ordinary soldiers in the gap between classes.

As future military officers, they must practice their military skills well in order to serve the public.

Now Sun Xin’s military academy is currently studying courses aimed at training low-level officers, which are a bit similar to the non-commissioned officer schools of later generations. As for the training courses for senior officers, Sun Xin himself has never taken it. It is clear that being able to draw a combat determination map is already within the scope of his highest ability.

However, Sun Xin knew that if Sunjiazhuang really had a high-level military and political university to train high-level military talents in the future, it would inevitably be selected from this group of people who have received professional non-commissioned officer education.

Zeng Sheng, Zhu Biao and others actually saw Sun Xin in the distance, but they have been studying at the Supervisory Council University for almost a year. Not to mention other skills, but at least they have practiced the discipline of farmers and soldiers to their bones.

The more they studied in the University of the Supervisory Committee, the deeper Zhu Biao and Zeng Sheng felt for the farmers and soldiers of the Supervisory Committee.

They originally thought that the servants and soldiers of their farm could compete with the peasants and soldiers, and even thought that after learning the skills of the peasants and soldiers at the Supervisory Council University, they would go back to build their own army of the peasants, but when they gradually understood the discipline of the peasants and soldiers After studying sex and war and studying the courses at the Board of Governors University, this idea faded away.

The Protectorate Army was built according to the system of the Supervisory Council. Without the support of the Supervisory Council, it would never be possible to have the combat effectiveness of the Protectorate Army just by relying on the armed forces of their landlords, let alone system construction.

They have gradually felt that the armed forces in their family are no match for Sun Xin, and even the mentality of the two of them has changed. During the private discussion, both of them already had the intention of working in the protection army for a while.

At home, they were not the eldest sons who could inherit the family business. After returning home, they could become the armed leaders of the family. This was a good result for the former Zhu Biao and Zeng Sheng, but after seeing the protection army After the lineup, the two gradually felt that being the leader of the landlord's armed forces at home was of no use.

What's more, they studied artillery, and they have an intuitive understanding of the power of cannons in combat. They all remember the teacher proudly saying that this will be an artifact on the future battlefield-all artillery students believe it.

Now it is too boring for them who have learned a little systematic artillery course to go back to instruct a group of rural peasants who still rely on cold weapons to fight.

Both of them knew that there was a huge difference in the status of Sun Xin and them in the army. If Sun Xin didn't tell them to go up, they would stick to their posts, so even if they saw Sun Xin from a distance, they would Without moving, continue to wipe the barrels of the guns, and move the shells until the day's work is done. The instructor blew the whistle to let the students gather and go back to the university dormitory.

Zhu Biao and Zeng Sheng returned to the dormitory together. Today’s work has been done, and there is no class in the evening, so they can finally relax. The two discussed whether they should go to the shadow puppet show together this evening. Write a letter in the dormitory to ask his wife and children to come to Sunjiazhuang, first to meet his son, and second, to be able to make out with his wife.

Going to school at the Supervisory Board University, I can get used to everything else, except that I am too far away from home and won’t be able to see my family for a long time.Hearing that in the second year Luan Tingyu intends to allow these students not to live in the dormitory, Zhu Biao thought that if the school agreed, he would let his wife and children move to Sunjiazhuang first. afford.If he decides to work in the protection army in the future, he might be sent to another place to garrison one day. Naturally, he cannot bring female relatives in the barracks. Then the time to see his wife and children will be even shorter, and he needs to cherish the present time.

The two of them took off their bare backs while chatting, and watched the apprentice soldiers on duty at the well today fetching water.

A few simple wooden sheds were built next to the well, where everyone took a bath. After asking that the bath water was burning hot, the two quickly took their clothes, soap and towels uniformly distributed by the school, and carried I got a bucket to fetch hot water for a bath.

Soap can be easily produced in Sun Xin's Sunjiazhuang after it has an acid-alkali industry. While hitting a few more times with a mallet, I was not willing to use soap.

As for the wealthy families, the daily necessities used by the rich have always been in pursuit of luxury. After all, Sunjiazhuang is just a remote place. Compared with the soap here in Dengzhou, they prefer to use soap purchased from old brands in Jiangnan or Shaanxi.

So for the time being, Sunjiazhuang's soap can only be sold in the Dongsanfu area through Sun Ji's drugstore, which is somewhat famous in the local area, and it cannot be sold in markets outside Shandong.

However, Sunjiazhuang's own soap workshop also makes money, and the main market is the needs of the people in various industrial and mining enterprises under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou.

Now the entire Dengzhou is rapidly industrialized in acid-base workshops, leather workshops or various metallurgical workshops. Every day, workers are exposed to a lot of stains, and these workers are busy with work and have little time. They have two jobs, so they don’t have time to take a mallet to the river to wash clothes slowly. Soap with strong decontamination ability and cheap price is the first choice for them to do laundry. More people are still reluctant to use such expensive things to take a bath, and most of them just use some soap to wash clothes, after all, clothes are worth more than their skin.

Zhu Biao and Zeng Sheng went to the water room to take a shower, watched the time and hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks to gather in front of the kitchen.

At home, they only order food when it is brought to the table, but after studying here for half a year, they are already used to cooking by themselves.

Sunjiazhuang University is fully militarized. Zhu Biao and Zeng Sheng joined their own class team when they came to the cooking place, and lined up honestly, going in one class at a time, without fighting or grabbing.

Dinner is not rich, but there are tofu.

One of the three meals a day must have meat, eggs or tofu. This is the hard target Sun Xin gave to Sunjiazhuang University. It is considered a very extravagant thing these days. more than a catty.

These days, even the families of small landlords can only get enough food with pickles. Eating chicken, duck and fish is a luxury only during the festivals. The living conditions in the past were basically hungry and hungry. In the past two years, thanks to the development of Sunjiazhuang, it has basically reached the level of not going hungry. Some people in remote areas really live in their twenties to eat meat. It can be counted on dozens of fingers.

I remember the first time I ate in the school cafeteria half a year ago, there were more than [-] people who needed to be sent to the hospital immediately after eating, and they couldn’t bear to vomit after eating too much, their eyeballs were almost stretched out, which even caused Lehe to come to care for the students The problem of overeating.

However, for children from rich families like Zeng Sheng and Zhu Biao, the food at Sunjiazhuang University is not very attractive. On the contrary, it is because they have a lot of exercise here that their appetite has increased a lot.

I had worked all day today, so the two of them were unambiguous when they ate. One drank a large bowl of stick porridge and the taller ate several corn buns.While talking about the new shadow puppet show to be staged in Ma Ziliu's theater at night, I heard footsteps outside, and saw the principal Lu Zhishen entering the room with several instructors.

Zeng Sheng and Zhu Biao fell silent for a while.

Sunjiazhuang University does not have a cafeteria, so everyone eats in various classrooms. Different classes sit in their own classrooms to eat. The classroom that Lu Zhishen walked into was all students from the artillery class.

He looked around, and everyone became quiet in an instant. Then Lu Zhishen said seriously: "Everyone have a good rest tonight. Give me a refresh tomorrow, put on clean clothes and go to the playground to gather."

"It's time to prepare for the next company internship!"

In an instant, Zeng Sheng and Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with excitement.
