Chapter 323 Cavalry (7)
In the afternoon, I would still take a horse first, but this time I no longer run with the horse, but I put on saddles and bridles and ride them. I was not allowed to run quickly, and there was no need to maintain a neat formation.
After the horse was back, they put the horse in the racetrack to move freely. The soldiers began regular training, first with basic quality training, which was no different from ordinary soldiers, that is, they practice strength, endurance, climbing, cross-country, swimming, shooting, etc., but the cavalry did not need to practice bayonets, but sabers.
After practicing for more than an hour, Cheng Yajie gathered the soldiers and officially began to teach them riding skills. First, he learned to prepare horses, that is, to equip the war horse with saddles and reins.
These two things are essential items for horse riding, but if you want to install them well, there are also quite some considerations. The saddle is the main tool for warriors to ride horses. It must be installed in the depression of the horse's back, and tightened at the front and back of the horse's belly, so that the saddle cannot be lifted and the saddle cannot be moved, otherwise it will be impossible to ride the horse's back. The purpose of the reins is to control the horse. There are two ways to hold the reins: one is to hold the reins with both hands, and the other is to hold the reins with one hand. The former is used for racing and horse racing, and the latter is to cut off the horse, stabbing with a long spear or other actions when riding the reins. The reins should be short when holding the reins, which can lift the horse's head. However, when shooting on the horse, the reins should not be placed randomly. They should tie a knot and put them on the horse's neck, otherwise it is easy to hang other objects while running.
The second is the movement of getting on and off the horse, which requires the cavalry to jump onto the horse without stepping on the kickstick, and it is the same when dismounting the horse, and jump down from the horse's back. This will save time in an emergency.
Finally, it is to ride a horse. When riding a horse, the soldier's buttocks are required to ride on the saddle spine. When pedaling with both feet, you must use the widest part of your feet to pedal, but you cannot stretch too much. Otherwise, it is easy to pedal and drag when falling off the horse. The length of the stirrup should be moderate to ensure that when pedaling with the kick, the legs must be bent to a certain extent, but not too bent. When riding a horse, the body should lean forward slightly and move the hips away from the saddle with the rhythm of the undulating movement of the horse body; when the war horse is running, the rider's buttocks are actually completely away from the saddle, relying on both legs to step on the kicks and support the whole body, and clamp the horse body with the inner side of the thighs to maintain balance. Therefore, the kicks are too long and cannot step on the kicks, and the kicks are too short and people can't hold the horse body. Only by completing these movements can you be considered a qualified cavalry soldier!
While Cheng Yajie said, Zhao Lijun was demonstrating himself and deliberately slowing down his movements so that the soldiers could see clearly.
In fact, most of the people in the cavalry company are just half-drawn, just riding a horse, which is not as good as riding a horse. After listening to Cheng Yajie's speech and watching Zhao Lijun's demonstration, I realized that there are so many things to pay attention to riding a horse.
After the talk, Cheng Yajie asked the soldiers to practice freely, but after talking so much, it was impossible to practice all in one day. Today, we practice preparing horses first, and asked each soldier to repeatedly put saddles and reins on the war horses. Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun walked back in the racecourse to correct the soldiers' movements and practiced until the afternoon training ended. After dinner, the soldiers took the war horses out for a walk.
On the second day and the third day, the training was still there, but I could start riding a horse, and on the fourth day, I took another shower for the war horse.
For five days, because of proper care and abundant feed, the condition of the war horses was obviously much better, and they were a little excited during training. The physical condition of the more than thirty horses that remained and were not assigned was also significantly improved, and some less intense sports could be carried out. The soldiers of the cavalry company really admired their two commanders. Although they didn't know how their riding skills were, they only looked at their horse level, and there were indeed some materials.
And on that afternoon, Qin Zheng actually came to Dagukou in person and visited the training of the cavalry company.
During dinner, Qin Zheng, Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun had a meal together, and introduced them to the other soldiers he brought to the cavalry company, namely: He Tingkun, Wang Weixian, Yang Bin, and Xu Ruihang. They were all soldiers of the Navy 6 Team. Because the Navy 6 Team was going to be disbanded and assigned to the People's Army, the four of them were willing to come to the cavalry company. There were also two non-army time travelers, Zhang Qisong and Tang Cheng.
Zhang Qisong is 38 years old this year. He used to study veterinary medicine. In the old time and space, he worked as a horse doctor in a racecourse. It can be said that the cavalry company came to work in a professional match.
To be honest, Zhang Qisong's time travel was a bit unfair. He originally came to the Middle East for a trip, but he encountered war and could only evacuate with the evacuated fleet. Unexpectedly, he traveled to this era again.
In the old time and space, Zhang Qisong was the kind of person who was content with the status quo and did not pursue too much. Although he was 38 years old, he was not married yet and was still single. His only hobby was traveling. Of course, with his profession and work, he could also ensure that he could live a life that was inferior and had more than enough, and satisfy his hobby that was not too high.
After traveling through time, Zhang Qisong stayed on the passenger and roaring boat, but unlike other people who live on the passenger and roaring boat and go online every day, Zhang Qisong was not dissatisfied with his life and the Executive Committee. He neither had the ambition to conquer the sea of Xingchen, nor had he established a great ideal for a great harem, and did not leave the passenger and roaring boat, but because he was not interested in the work that the time travel group can provide now, his leisure time was to go ashore to visit the scenery of this era, and he also enjoyed it.
After receiving Cheng Yajie's report, the Military Commission also knew that the veterinary problem was already imminent. However, in the wish of giving priority to time travelers, the Military Commission first asked the Human Resources Department if there were any suitable candidates. In fact, no one had any hope. After all, the veterinary is too off-limits. When the Human Resources Department heard this, it immediately replied that there was a veterinarian, and it was a veterinarian who specialized in horse medicine. Because Zhang Qisong's professionalism was too special, among the more than 6,000 time travelers, he was the veterinarian, so the staff of the Human Resources Department had a profound impression of him.
The Military Commission was both surprised and excited at this time. Unexpectedly, there was a veterinarian in the Time Travel Group, so he immediately found Zhang Qisong and asked him if he would like to work as a military doctor in the Cavalry Company, and arranged military registration for him. Seeing that it was his own major, Zhang Qisong did not refuse and made only one request, and he would not go to the battlefield. Of course, the Military Commission agreed to this request, but in fact he did not intend to let him go to the battlefield.
Tang Cheng is 26 years old this year. Before traveling through time, he was a computer administrator for oil engineering. In the old time and space, he was a person who was very obedient, unable to do big things and unwilling to do small things. Although he studied computer computer major, he was actually limited to installation of computers, systems, management service stations, programming, and big operations. After graduation, he was idle at home for two or three years, and worked two jobs in computer stores, but he didn't work as a senior. Later, he found a relationship at home and asked him to work abroad. Although he was a computer administrator, it was not difficult to work. After traveling through time, although the traveling through time, although the traveling through time, he established a large data center, but among the traveling through time, he was a lot of computer talents among traveling through time; secondly, Tang Cheng's professional and technical level was not qualified, and he was unwilling to work at the grassroots level, so he stayed on the passenger boat and complained or went online every day.
Later, the Qingshan Island passenger ship was sealed off, and Tang Cheng was assigned to a room with Zhang Qisong. The two lived together for more than two months. Zhang Qisong was content with the situation. His indifferent attitude towards profit had a significant impact on Tang Cheng, which made Tang Cheng's erratic mood much calmer, and he also wanted to do something down-to-earth.
At this moment, Zhang Qisong was going to work as a horse doctor in the Cavalry Company. When Tang Cheng heard this, he felt that it would be higher to do something in the Cavalry Company than to work at the grassroots level. Moreover, he had military status after entering the Cavalry Company, which sounded higher and higher. Therefore, he asked Zhang Qisong to take him with him. Zhang Qisong did not refuse, and said that Tang Cheng was his assistant, so he brought Tang Cheng to the Cavalry Company.
At the same time, Qin Zheng also brought 30 local soldiers who had just joined the army, as logistics staff of the cavalry company and were also reserve soldiers. On the other hand, the training equipment Trojan horse drawings designed by Cheng Yajie were also handed over to Tianjin vehicles for production. Twenty aircraft will be produced in one month for use by the cavalry company.
I heard that there was a veterinarian and a time traveler. Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun were also very happy. It seemed that there were really all kinds of talents in the time travel group. The cavalry company finally got all the personnel and could finally show their strength.
Qin Zheng brought them more than this one. It turned out that after Qin Zheng conveyed to the Military Commission the two of them to establish a horse farming ranch and a cavalry training base on the Horse Ranch Island, the Military Commission immediately ordered the garrison of Weihaiwei to order them to send people to the Horse Ranch Island to investigate the situation.
At this time, three small warships were anchored in Weihaiwei, namely the French shallow water gunboat Lyon, and the torpedo boat destroyers Hailong and Haiqing, which were originally from the Beiyang Navy and were later captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance.
So Weihaiwei immediately sent the Hailong to Yangma Island and inspected it. There are not many residents on Yangma Island now, there are only two small villages, about 400 people, and there are no Qing army stationed. So the Military Commission immediately decided to occupy Yangma Island immediately and establish a horse farming ranch and a cavalry training base on the island. Tianjin Xun organized a construction survey team to go to the island to survey the geological water and design a horse farming ranch. This time, he had already come to Dagukou with Qin Zheng and prepare to go out to Yangma Island tomorrow.
However, there are many architectural designers among the time travelers, but no one has designed a horse farm. Therefore, Qin Zheng hopes that one of Cheng Yajie and Zhao Lijun will go to the island with the survey team.
