Thank you for the 100 yuan reward "Prepare" "Put" At the eastern end of Chongming Island, the officers and men of the Musket Brigade were conducting daily training under the orders of the officers.
The officers and men have already practiced the basic maneuvers such as charging, raising the gun, and firing the gun, and many of them have been able to complete this set of maneuvers even with their eyes closed.
The training was boring and painful, and most of the musket brigade soldiers had been whipped by the officers and had been beaten with sticks in serious cases, but they had no resentment, because they knew that the officers had physically punished them only so that they could survive on the battlefield.
Life is undoubtedly more precious than pain.
"If you don't endure hardship on weekdays, you will shed blood in wartime" is what officers say the most on weekdays, and if you miss a movement in training, you may never have the opportunity to make up for your mistakes on the battlefield.
Life and death are only in a thought, but also in every move.
If you don't do well enough, you will lose not only your life, but also the lives of your comrades.
The military cannot guarantee that every soldier will survive the war, but it can ensure that every soldier receives the maximum training and provides the best guarantee for their training, so as to increase their chances of surviving on the battlefield.
After receiving the order to participate in the Northern Expedition, the musket brigade held a pre-war mobilization from top to bottom.
In addition to the impassioned and heroic heroism of the good man on the battlefield, what the soldiers heard most was survival.
The officers hoped that their subordinates would come back alive, and their comrades-in-arms also hoped that their companions who had been with him day and night would come back alive.
Two days ago, each of the officers and men who had been sent to Chongming Island received an envelope for them to write letters to their relatives.
After the letter was written, once the army went north, it was sent by the Metropolitan Governor's Office to the relatives of the soldiers, so that everyone knew where their relatives had gone.
Letters were the highest rank of military posts, and according to the military regulations of the Taiping Army, if the messenger could not deliver the letter within the specified time, then they would be subject to military law.
Asking the soldiers to write letters home was specially requested by Zhou Shixiang.
There is no precedent for this until then.
Why did he do this, Zhou Shixiang gave his subordinates only one reason, that is, he not only wanted to let the soldiers know what they were going to do, but also let their relatives know what they were going to do.
The Northern Expedition to Manchuria was not the business of the Taiping Army, but the business of everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The front is the front line, the battlefield, and the rear is also the front line, which is also the battlefield.
Those who have knives should fight hard, and those who do not have knives must also contribute.
Together with the Northern Expedition, people are not divided into old and weak, and land is not divided into north and south, and they all have the responsibility to serve the country At the highest point of Chongming Island, eight eye-catching characters are painted with lime, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while" With the arrival of personnel and materials, the atmosphere of combat readiness on Chongming Island is also getting stronger and stronger, and it is also becoming more and more tense.
Everyone knew what they were going to do, and they all knew that the next moment, they might be on the ship heading north.
On the side of the training ground for the officers and men of the musket brigade, the words "use me in the first battle, and I will win" were painted.
The slogan was personally brought by Yu Youming, the small prince of the brigade school, to the marshal Zhou Shixiang, except for the musket brigade, Zhou Shixiang did not personally put forward the slogan to any unit.
This made the more than 3,000 officers and men of the musket brigade very proud, and the training was even harder.
They will never fail to live up to the expectations of the marshal, and they will make a name for themselves as a musket brigade and pass on the spirit of General Shizhong forever.
Not far away, two brigades of the New Second Army and the New Third Army, as well as the East China Sea Division, are conducting a combined landing exercise.
On the sea, warships cruised, smashing shells on the pre-planned battlefield.
All kinds of cannons and flag orders passed on one order after another, and the rumbling cannon seemed to make the entire Chongming Island shake.
"Brothers, Row Hard" More than 200 small boats carrying more than 4,000 officers and men rushed to the shore, and the officers and men on board bravely rowed and shouted trumpets.
On these small boats, there are dozens of flags, all of which are the glorious flags of the troops participating in the battle, representing their glorious course from the day they formed the army.
Luo Lun, the brigade school of the C Brigade of the New Second Army, personally led his troops to land, and he beat the war drums in front of him hard to cheer up his subordinates.
This young brigade school, who had just been assigned from the Army University, was very capable, and in just a few days, he mingled with the soldiers, and he did not have the frame of an officer at all, and even won the hearts of the soldiers more than the ambassador of the Anjun army, so much so that the Anjun ambassador of the C brigade jokingly said that he could go home to retire.
On the beach, the engineering department and the staff department of the Fifth Theater have already buried many medicine bags in advance, and used the lead to blast them, simulating a wartime scene.
In order to be as realistic as possible, the engineering troops even dug a number of trenches, laid out many fences and obstacles, and built some fortified barracks on the beach, which was only seven or eight miles away.
It was the first time for most of the military and civilians on the island to see such a large-scale sea-crossing and landing exercise, and they curiously put down their work and watched the officers and men on the small boats on the sea bravely row to the shore, and then jumped off the boats one after another, shouting slogans and rushing to the exercise area full of black smoke.
When a red flag representing victory was planted on the tent of the commander-in-chief of the enemy army, thousands of soldiers began to cheer with joy waving various weapons.
The officers were busy discussing the shortcomings of the previous offensive and the problems that had been exposed, and quickly reported to the staff for adjustment and discussion.
"Don't look at it, they have their battles, we have our battles for Lao Tzu to practice well, save me really going north, I can't even stand one by one, I'm embarrassed to Lao Tzu" Baihu Ma Feng has been training on the ship with his subordinates for several days, at first, only seven or eight of the more than a hundred people can survive, and the others are vomiting unhumanly, but now they are better, at least half of them have become accustomed to the bumps of the ship.
The rest of the half, although still a little seasick, but at least not much vomiting.
This can be regarded as meeting the above requirements, after all, if they don't want to fight on the ship, the sailor's men will solve the danger.
As long as they can hold on to the ship to their destination.
"Ma team, the brothers have almost practiced, when will they be able to go north?"
asked one of the soldiers.
"It's almost far away, look at the brothers of the water masters, which one is like you?"

Ma Feng glared at the soldier, and was about to say that he would train for half an hour today, but on the sea in the distance, there was a drum sound.
After hearing the drums in the distance, the sailors at sea also immediately began to beat the drums and issued the flag order, and the drums soon sounded on the island, and the officers also received the order at the first time.
