"But there is no way, life is so full of all kinds of accidents, and I became your commander by accident."
Han Du said while walking slowly on the wooden platform.
The soldiers below, who were listening to Han Du's lecture, clearly heard whispers when they heard that Han Du was a scholar and a former civil servant. The soldiers were very curious about Han Du, a civil servant, being their leader.
Seeing the commotion among the soldiers below, Xu Chengfei was about to reprimand him. However, Han Du took a step ahead and stopped him with a wave of his hand.
It's better to have discussions. It's much better to have discussions than to look lifeless just now.
When the soldiers had enough discussion, Han Du continued: "But since I have taken the position of commander, I will be responsible for you, and you must obey my orders."
The soldiers regained their numb expressions and showed no reaction to Han Du's words.
"I know that the new general has just arrived. If he wants to command you with his fingers, he needs to subdue you." Han Du curled his lips and said indifferently.
Xu Chengfei glanced at Han Du in surprise. There are three things to do when a new official takes office, and the same goes for a new general. However, when a general takes office, it is not to set fire, but to establish authority. Only when absolute authority is established in the army can he be able to command.
Move the army.
But it's one thing to know, and it's another thing to say it like Han Du did.
"There are many ways. How about picking two thorns and whipping them out to scare the monkeys? How about making you wake up earlier than chickens and going to bed later than dogs every day and drill you endlessly? How about strictly enforcing military laws and killing one or two
Come and sacrifice your head to the flag, I won’t list these generals one by one.”
Listening to Han Du's words, the soldiers below once again became commotion. However, this time it calmed down faster than before and returned to the appearance of a pool of stagnant water.
"But don't worry, I won't do these things. But you also know that I am a scholar after all. Therefore, if you want to be my soldier, the first requirement is to be literate."
As soon as Han Du finished speaking, the soldiers below burst into an uproar. Not only them, but also Xu Chengfei beside him couldn't stand it anymore.
Originally, Xu Chengfei was asked by Cao Guogong, telling him that Han Du would not lead troops and asked him to help him more. Xu Chengfei also made up his mind to help Han Du. If Han Du wanted to establish his authority, even if he whipped a few thorns, or even
After cutting off several heads, Xu Chengfei made up his mind to help Han Du complete it.
But he didn't expect that Han Du would have to teach soldiers how to read. Even Xu Chengfei couldn't bear this.
Said: "General, all the soldiers have learned are the fighting methods on the battlefield. I'm afraid there is no need to be literate." Xu Chengfei thought that soldiers, as long as they can draw knives and kill people, what's the point of being literate? It's just a waste of time.
Even if Han Du is a civil servant, we can't ask all the soldiers to learn literacy just because of this. Isn't this the opposite?
Han Du shook his head, "I think it is necessary."
Seeing that Xu Chengfei wanted to refute, Han Du suddenly asked: "Are you literate?"
Xu Chengfei was stunned for a moment and replied: "The last general will be literate."
"Isn't this right?" Han Du spread his hands, "Why can you read and write but they can't? What does that military law say?"
Xu Chengfei was speechless by Han Du. There was no military law that said soldiers should not be literate. But when he first learned to read, it was because his superiors saw that he was smarter and asked him to start learning. There was no such thing as
Han Du made it necessary for everyone to be literate as soon as he came.
Han Du ignored Xu Chengfei and took out the simplified Chinese Thousand-Character Text that he had prepared. He waved it towards the people below and said, "My general's requirements are not high. You only need to know the thousand-character text of this Thousand-Character Text."
It is considered as passing the test. In addition, all centurions must obey the order. Each centurion must not only provide the general with one hundred people under your command, but also help them become literate. If there are any problems that cannot be completed, the general will do so.
Just ask the centurion."
No matter how loud Han Du shouted on the stage or how stern his tone was, the people below did not react at all and were lifeless. In fact, the effect was not as good as it was just now.
At this time, Han Du realized. It turned out that it was not that the generals in the past who took people's heads to establish prestige were cruel, but that if they were not so, they would not be able to establish prestige. If a general has no prestige, no matter how loud he speaks, it will pollute him.
Air.
Seeing that the scene was extremely cold, Xu Chengfei immediately came out to help Han Du out of the siege.
He yelled and asked: "Didn't you hear what the general said? Centurion?"
Xu Chengfei still has prestige in Shanzi Camp. As soon as he spoke, the centurion below immediately responded.
"Yes~"
"Got it~"
"Know~"
It's just that these responses were in twos and threes, which seemed a bit weak.
When Xu Chengfei saw this, he sighed in his heart. It's not that I don't want to help him, it's just that the general is too stretched to help him up.
His eyes widened, and he was about to yell again. However, Han De waved his hand to stop him, and Xu Chengfei looked at Han Du in confusion.
Han Du looked at the soldiers in the audience with a smile and said: "I have said that since I have become your commander, I will be responsible for you. From today on, I will ensure that you have meat every day."
Is there meat to eat every meal?
Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Han Du.
Although it is said that soldiers eat royal rations, they are usually given empty pay by the generals and are deducted at every turn. It is good for these soldiers to be well fed, but how dare they expect to eat meat? What's more, Han Du said that he should eat meat every day.
Isn't this general playing tricks on them?
Han Du ignored everyone's suspicious glances and continued: "Of course, the general also has requirements for eating meat. It is not possible for everyone to eat meat easily. Those who can eat meat every day must be a few of you.
people."
Han Du's explanation made the people below shine with eyes. If General Han directly said that he wanted all of them to eat meat every meal, then they would definitely think that Han Du was bragging and joking.
They. But if only a few of them can eat meat, it is not impossible. Is what General Han said true?
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were filled with enthusiasm. They looked at Han Du expectantly and listened carefully to Han Du's words.
"Then who can't eat meat and who can eat meat?" Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Han Du smiled slightly and reached out to pat the thousand-character text on his hand. "It's very simple. From today on, you guys
They were divided into teams of one hundred men, led by centurions, making a total of sixteen teams.”
