() Marching one hundred miles every day is not as simple as it is said. Two thousand and five hundred people must always be consistent and take care of each other. After all, being selected and entering the Jiangning Camp is what everyone dreams of. If It would be a shame to say that during the march, he was eliminated because of his own problems.

Besides, the family members also set off, and it was a huge temptation to feed the family members without being cold or starving.

Therefore, when these newly recruited sergeants set off, they showed a high degree of unity, took care of each other, encouraged each other, and did not let anyone fall behind.

Su Tiancheng could feel this kind of atmosphere, and this was also his purpose. Everyone was in the Jiangning camp as a whole. If they were selfish and only knew how to protect themselves, such a team would not be able to fight.

Don't underestimate this march, the meaning contained in it is very profound.

The walking route is all the way to the south, passing Hejian Mansion and Guangping Mansion in North Zhili, entering Henan, passing through Kaifeng Mansion and Guide Mansion in Henan, entering Fengyang Mansion and Chuzhou Mansion in South Zhili, and entering Yingtian Mansion.

Not long after departure, several people were waiting on the official road ahead.

Su Tiancheng, who was riding in the front, felt a little strange. The matter of recruiting sergeants was over.

Seeing Su Tiancheng approaching, several people came up to meet him.

Wang Dazhi was a little nervous and approached unconsciously.

Soon, Su Tiancheng recognized several people in front, the two leaders were Sun Enming and Sun Enzong, Sun Chengzong's grandsons, and the two young people behind.He looks familiar.

"Subordinate Sun Enming, and younger brother Sun Enzong. Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo are waiting here."

Sun Enming and others knelt down.

Su Tiancheng got off his horse quickly, and helped the four of them up one by one.

"Didn't you all set off long ago and go to Jiangning County? Why are you waiting here?"

"This subordinate has received a letter from grandpa a long time ago, turned back halfway, and has been waiting here for a long time."

"Well, then why don't you go home."

"Grandpa didn't allow me to wait to go home. To avoid affecting the recruitment of sergeants, he asked me to wait here."

Su Tiancheng didn't speak for a long time.

Sun Enming and the other four were typical bureaucrats, and they were supposed to accept many preferential conditions. Su Tiancheng also had to think of this. The Jiangning battalion recruited [-] soldiers and expanded its scale.There will inevitably be a lot of officers, and Sun Enming and others can be promoted to officers, at least they are much stronger in terms of knowledge.

Sun Chengzong asked his own grandson to enter the Jiangning camp.The reason why such a decision has had a sensational effect is because Sun Enming's status is different. In principle, the sons of bureaucrats all want to be scholars.At least to become a wealthy gentry, Sun Enming is a supervisor of the Imperial College.He has a very good future, but giving up such a future and entering the Jiangning camp requires great determination, and the shock to the people around him is by no means normal.

The reason why the recruitment of sergeants went so smoothly has a lot to do with the support of Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji.

Now, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji have made a clear request that their children also follow the army. That is to say, they don't have any specialization, and they still march a hundred miles every day. Waiting for such a long time without going back home, speaking of it, has long been a kind of tempering.

Su Tiancheng quickly made up his mind.

"Sun Enming, you are a student of the Imperial College, and your identities are different. Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, and Lu Taibo, you are all students and scholars. Since you are acting with the army, your responsibilities are different. Complete the marching task by yourself At the same time, you must take care of the entire team. From now on, you will be responsible for all the military operations of 500 people. If you have any questions, you can ask for advice. Sun Enming is in charge, and Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo are assistants. , How to divide the labor, you decide for yourself, do you understand?"

"The subordinates fulfill their mission and must complete the mission."

Among the sergeants, many people knew Sun Enming and others.

Sun Enming was in charge of all matters of the march, and the news spread quickly.

Sun Enming is the supervisor of the Imperial College, the master of the supervisor, and he marched with him. Everyone was inspired. This is the power of role models.

Sun Enming and the other four quickly finished their discussions.

"The subordinates are in charge of 1000 people. Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing, and Lu Taibo are each in charge of 500 people. They are required not to fall behind and must keep up with the marching team."

Su Tiancheng shook his head with a smile. After all, he was not familiar with all the affairs of the army. Such an arrangement felt like a child's play.

"The responsibility for such an arrangement is not very clear. Let me give you a suggestion. Marching is like a battle. It involves all aspects and needs to be properly arranged. You can consider it from three aspects. One is the speed of the march, which is what you emphasized. There cannot be people If you fall behind, you have to take care of each other. In the end, everyone will reach their destination. The second is marching discipline. The discipline of the army is the lifeline and must not be violated. Now that you have entered the Jiangning camp, you must abide by all the rules. You are not allowed to harass the people. No crime, and the third is logistical support, soldiers and horses go ahead before food and grass are moved, and logistical aspects must not be neglected."

"You can consider these three aspects and make a division of labor. Of course, the overall responsibility is still you."

Sun Enming listened very carefully, and when he got to the back, he blushed a little. After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he immediately bowed his head and saluted.

"Thank you for your teaching, my subordinate has been taught."

The process of marching was a bit boring.

The family members who accompanied the army were weaker in physical strength after all. Women and children couldn't keep up. Fortunately, there were sergeants behind who could take care of them properly. Su Tiancheng wanted to leave them money. He thought they could hire a carriage, but unexpectedly These family members were reluctant to take the carriage at all, and followed the followers on foot. Some children were too young, and several families hired an ox cart to let the children ride in the carriage.

What Su Tiancheng didn't expect was that these family members were very strong. When they set off, Liu Tiehan emphasized discipline. The sergeant should not be left behind because of taking care of the family members. During the march, the family members are afraid of affecting their own men, so they must never take care of them.In fact, Sun Enzong, who was in charge of the march, had already changed his mind. He completed a [-]-mile march every day. A sergeant with good physical strength could take care of his family members. Su Tiancheng also acquiesced in such behavior, but his family members were still unwilling.

The process of marching is also the process of the sergeants who joined the Jiangning battalion for the first time receiving education. There are some military households who are familiar with the army's system and can play a leading role, objectively helping the entire marching team.

The performance of Sun Enming, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations.

These four people have different identities. In the family, their identities are prominent, and they should rarely suffer hardships. However, during the march, they performed very well without any special features. Legs, after walking a hundred miles a day, it is impossible to stay in a village or county town when a large army marches. In many cases, they camp on the spot.

In the cold winter months, when camping in the wild, there are many things that need attention. Lu Taibo, who is in charge of logistics support, supervises the sergeants every day. , This can ensure that the sergeant will not catch a cold. Every sergeant must scald his feet with hot water before resting.

As for the discipline and restraint during the march, it was more in place.

In the middle of the march, Lu Taibing asked everyone to line up well, and no loose marching was allowed. The team was always kept in order, and the time for short breaks and meals was exactly the same.

Slowly, with the passage of time, these newly recruited sergeants have begun to show the quality of soldiers.

On December [-], the team entered Fengyang Mansion in South Zhili.

There are still six days to arrive in Jiangning County.

Back in Nanzhili, Su Tiancheng felt at home. Although he grew up in Shanxi, he had always lived in the south before crossing, and he was familiar with the climate conditions and living habits here.

Two thousand five hundred sergeants have already shown their qualities.

No one was left behind, everyone persevered, and got used to obeying orders. According to Su Tiancheng's suggestion, 500 people were divided into several teams. Each team had a specific person in charge. The duty was to start marching every day. And at the end of the day, summarize the experience of the day and put forward specific requirements.Whenever there are any problems or fluctuations during the march, the person in charge of the team must report to Sun Enzong immediately. For small matters, Sun Enzong decides to solve them on his own, and for larger matters, Sun Enzong reports to Sun Enming, and discuss solutions together .

During this process, Sun Enming never troubled Su Tiancheng.

This is also Su Tiancheng's request. Troop marching is the simplest training. As a commander, Linji must make decisions, solve all problems, and prevent all possible problems. If such a request cannot be met, then Don't talk about commanding thousands of troops to fight.

Su Tiancheng also told Sun Enming not to have too high aspirations. In history, most of the outstanding generals have been honed by the bottom. They are familiar with the requirements of the sergeant and know all the situations in the army. They have grown up from the bottom. When commanding a battle, he is very familiar with it and has achieved great military exploits. On the contrary, those generals who are unwilling to know the situation at the grassroots level and blindly emphasize that they are strategizing and decisively winning thousands of miles away can hardly do anything.

In fact, in Su Tiancheng's heart, Sun Enming, Sun Enzong, Lu Taibing and Lu Taibo are already relatively qualified officers. They are knowledgeable and have grown rapidly after this march. People like them are needed.
