Pig Killer

Chapter 237

"That also requires training of tacit understanding and trust." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with warm eyes.

"I know about cooperation, but what about trust?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Can trust also be trained?"

"The Art of War by Sun Tzu says that those who share the same will will win. Trust is an important foundation for the same will. On the battlefield, trust between comrades is a kind of fighting power in itself." Shen Hui'e patted her back and said, "On the battlefield, I can trust my comrades with my back without any worries."

"Can this be trained?" Huang Zhongchang nodded in understanding.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "As for how to train, you will know when you see it later."

"Where are the weapons?" Shen Hui'e asked.

Skillful use of weapons was a very important skill for soldiers in ancient times. Only by using the weapons in their hands well could they defeat the enemy during combat.

"Swords, spears, bows and arrows." Huang Zhongchang said as he looked at them with his dark eyes.

"How many bows and arrows do we have?" Shen Hui'e asked him with her deep and penetrating black eyes.

"As long as there are enough iron lumps, the arrows are guaranteed, and the bows are guaranteed." Huang Zhongchang said with a happy smile, "You are really foresighted."

"It's not that we have foresight, but the food cooked in the big iron pot is really delicious." Shen Penglai said while sucking his saliva.

"The big iron pot is most suitable for you to march and fight. You can cook more and faster." Shen Hui'e said to them with her clear eyes.

Before the advent of firearms, bows and arrows could be used for long-range combat and kill with one arrow if used well.

In daily training, the use of bows and arrows is to enable soldiers to be more accurate when shooting at the enemy at a long distance, while also training the soldiers' arm strength.

"Then the military training is divided into three parts: physical training, formation and weapons training." Shen Hui'e concluded.

"For infantry, there are only these three things. Cavalry need to practice riding and archery, which requires high horsemanship." Zhang Jixian said seriously, "We don't have horses, so we can only practice archery at present."

"Practice whatever you can." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her jade-like eyes and said, "Let's practice archery first! We can ask Da Chong to teach them."

"Big beast?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his eyes wide open.

"You underestimate your son!" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at them and said, "You can see it by looking at the big insect. You can ask him how he practiced."

"They are so small, can they draw the bow?" Huang Zhongchang said worriedly.

"You'll know after you take a look." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright black eyes and said, "It's a little close to the target, but the accuracy is good enough."

"Then I must take a look." Huang Zhongchang said excitedly.

"Brother, call Afang, Amu and the others." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her dark pupils.

"What do you want them to do? They are not old enough!" Shen Changsheng blinked and looked at her and said, "Please don't ask them to do that. They are eager to come!"

"I want them to teach the soldiers how to read and write. The younger generation of the Huang family is here too." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her eyes as gentle as jade and said, "If they don't do anything else, they can also follow the training."

"Oh! Okay, no problem." Shen Changsheng responded readily.

"How can I let them go to the battlefield if they are less than 18 years old?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with her dark and bright eyes, and then looked at Huang Zhongchang and said, "Please register them!"

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded in understanding, "Don't worry! The younger ones have been screened out during the age registration. They will follow the training, but they will be assigned to the fire corps."

Shen Hui'e smiled when she heard this, "You can only go to the battlefield when you are old enough to dance with elephants."

"Second sister, are Afang and the others okay?" Shen Changsheng said worriedly.

"Why not? Teach them to read. Ah Fang learned to read earlier than Da Chong and the others." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as black as black jade and said, "There are too few of us who can read."

"Okay then! I'll ask them to come later." Shen Changsheng responded readily.

"By the way, where is the gentleman you invited?" Shen Hui'e said, her eyes falling on them.

"I've already invited him, but I don't know if he will come." Zhang Jixian said unenthusiastically, "Don't hold out too much hope. Those who can read and write are from wealthy families, and they don't think highly of us. It's even more impossible for women. We are a place dominated by men, and there are no female mosquitoes." He took a deep breath and said, "The situation is not favorable for us now, so it will be even more difficult."

"They don't know." Shen Penglai said immediately after hearing this, "Just don't tell them."

Huang Zhongchang shook his head slightly when he heard this and said, "It's not good to cheat like this!" He said arrogantly, "If they come, tell them, if they don't come, forget it."

"We don't have enough manpower!" Zhang Jixian looked up at him and said.

"You can't learn this word in one go, take your time." Huang Zhongchang said as his eyes flickered, "When the war starts, there will be no time to learn to read." He smiled and said, "If we really take down Hedong County, we don't have to worry about no one!"

"Well then! Anyway, the recruitment notice has been posted, so it depends on whether anyone will come." Zhang Jixian had no choice but to say.

"By the way! Do you have a doctor here?" Shen Hui'e thought of it and looked at them and said.

"No, we don't have any doctors here!" Huang Zhongchang shook his head slightly, "They know a few treatments, but they are all folk remedies."

"Then let Doctor Li teach them how to remove the feather arrows." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her deep and clear eyes and said, "How to bandage the wound? Treat external injuries."

"That's fine. It's necessary no matter what." Huang Zhongchang nodded vigorously. "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that they will not get hurt."

"As for the personnel, let's teach them to the firemen." Shen Hui'e thought for a moment and said, "Teach them to the children."

"Okay! No problem. Face the blood first, then maybe you won't be afraid." Huang Zhongchang nodded slightly and asked.

"After we go down the mountain, I will go find Doctor Li and ask him to come up the mountain." Shen Hui'e said to them with her gentle eyes.

"Let the cook learn medical skills." Zhang Jixian smiled and shook his head when he heard this.

"What's the matter? If you can hold a kitchen knife, you can also hold a scalpel." Shen Hui'e said to them with a smile.

"Scalpel?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her puzzledly.

"Don't you need a small knife to take out the feather arrows?" Shen Hui'e said without blushing or panting, "You can't use a big knife to take out the arrows! You need a small knife that you can play with in your palm." She moved her fingers.

"Do we have knives that small?" Huang Zhongchang gestured and said, "Even if we do, we'll need a lot."

"If it doesn't work, ask my brother-in-law to beat me." Shen Hui'e said simply and easily.

"Speaking of which, how do we get the arrow? We can't stick an arrow into ourselves just for the sake of studying!" Huang Zhongchang said, hitting his shoulder with his fist.

"It would be nice if we had pork." Shen Hui'e said to them with sparkling eyes.

"Second sister, you are greedy." Shen Penglai turned his head and looked at her and said.

"You kid, you only know how to eat." Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement and said.

"Your second sister wanted to stick the arrow into the pork so that she could practice taking the arrow." Shen Changsheng looked at him unhappily and said, "You can take it any way you want, but you can't do it on a human!"

"Is that so?" Shen Penglai said with a grin, "If it's stuck in the pork, you can take it out any way you want."

Shen Hui'e's mouth twitched when she heard that. "You little brat, I let you practice so that the person who is shot by the arrow can reduce the pain. You need to be quick, ruthless and accurate in taking the arrow, and your hand needs to be steady." She rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you think you are doing? I let you shoot as you please!"

Shen Penglai scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I know, I know." He smiled and said, "After practicing archery, this pork will not be wasted and can be eaten."

"You only know how to eat." Shen Changsheng said lovingly, looking at his third brother.

"I'm not wrong." Shen Penglai said with a chuckle.

"That's right!" Shen Hui'e smiled and nodded slightly.

"Look, my second sister also supports me." Shen Penglai said proudly, and asked with concern, "But we don't have pigs!"

"Almost no farmers raise pigs now." Shen Changsheng looked at her worriedly and said.

"There is a rich family in the city who raises pigs. Why not buy one from him? The pigs are almost fully grown and can be slaughtered." Shen Hui'e said simply and easily.

"Didn't you say there were no pigs?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in confusion.

"Because the imperial court is collecting grain, ordinary farmers cannot afford it, but it has little impact on the rich families." Shen Hui'e said to them with eyes as gentle as jade.

"Can it be sold this year?" Huang Zhongchang asked curiously, "It's fully grown."

"When it grows up, it will weigh about 100 to 200 kilograms." Shen Penglai looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Growing so fast?" Huang Zhongchang looked at them in surprise and asked.

"Once a pig is castrated, it grows very fast. It changes every day. If you feed it well, it may weigh more than 200 kilograms." Shen Penglai looked at them with a smile on his face and said, "From the tone of your voice, doesn't my second brother-in-law know?"

"I only heard your sister say that the pigs were castrated, but no one told me that they could gain weight so quickly." Huang Zhongchang looked at them in surprise and said.

"Now that this pig has been castrated, it has no emotions or desires. It has become obedient and will focus on gaining weight." Shen Hui'e said while looking at him with a smile.

"Really?" Huang Zhongchang's throat moved slightly, and he swallowed his saliva and said, "That's good."

Seeing this, Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "Anything else?"

"That's all. Let's leave it like this for now!" Huang Zhongchang said after thinking it over seriously.

"Once the shoes are ready, we will formally train the soldiers." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "I'm leaving now."

"Second sister, we will go with you." Shen Penglai said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, find some local people from Hezhong Prefecture and ask them to pack up and come with us." Shen Changsheng said to Huang Zhongchang without blinking.

"Okay! I'll arrange someone." Huang Zhongchang came forward immediately after hearing this.

"Be smart and look honest." Shen Changsheng said after thinking seriously.

"I know!" Huang Zhongchang nodded with a smile.
