There are a total of 336 centurion-level officers in Yingyang Guard. After Yun Zheng's order was issued, he thought for a while and felt that when he received military training, there were only a few dozen people in each class, and if he now
It would be quite difficult to train more than 300 people at one time, so I changed my plan temporarily. After giving a lecture to these centurions, I asked them to gather their subordinates first and train them according to the original method.
Gathered more than thirty captains together, found a quiet and remote place, and started giving lectures
"A month or two ago, you were all centurions in the Yanyun Guard. I believe that those who can become centurions in the Yanyun Guard are all genuine! Because most of you are
You started as a soldier at the grassroots level, and after you killed the enemy and made meritorious service, you became a centurion. If you have no ability, how can you stand here? Of course, there are some exceptions among you. You graduated from the Young Eagle Academy and were directly promoted to centurion.
Long, but since you can pass the top graduation test of the Young Eagle Academy, there is no doubt that you are a person of real ability! - It is precisely because you are such a group of talented officers that you have such an opportunity to serve in the newly established
The Yingyang Guards were promoted from the rank of centurion to the rank of thousands!"
Thirty-six officers looked serious and proud, standing motionless, their eyes focused on Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng had long been accustomed to this feeling of being watched, so there was nothing unusual at all. He continued to speak loudly: "I believe that this young marshal
You are capable of leading this batch of new recruits, but - our training this time is different from before! As the core and main force of the Yun family army, you should understand in your heart that this training is not just a training, it is also our cloud training.
A direct contest between the Ying Yang Guard of the Family and the Dragon and Phoenix Dance Guards of the Royal Family, the Tiger Wing Guards of the Zhou Family, the Wolf Fang Guards of the Leng Family... and even the Turtle Armor Guards of the Jiang Family!"
Yunzheng stood proudly, held his head high, and said loudly: "The most powerful army in the world, the first one is Yan Yun... Everyone! I hope that one day, these eight words can be turned into sixteen words - the most powerful army in the world, the first one is Yan Yun..."
Look at Yan Yun; Yan Yun’s strong army, first look at Ying Yang! Do you have confidence!?”
"Yes! -" Thirty-six thousand captains roared in unison. Although there were only more than thirty people, the momentum was overwhelming.
"Very good..." Yunzheng nodded and said proudly: "Yan Yunwei is the most powerful army today, and you are the backbone of this most powerful army. You can be said to be the elite of the elite. Your attitude towards new recruits
The training regulations must be very clear, right?”
"yes!--"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, expressionless, and said calmly: "Then, from now on, you can forget about that thing."
As soon as these words came out, the thirty-six people in front of them were startled. Then they looked at each other and forgot about that. What did this mean?
Yunzheng looked at them and nodded secretly in his heart. It was not bad. After hearing such strange words, he was just confused and did not whisper to each other. The quality was indeed good, but compared to the discipline of the people's soldiers in later generations, it was far inferior.
Yunzheng said coldly: "When Shangguan was lecturing, who allowed you to look left and right? Is your head unstable?"
Thanks to the good foundation that the original Yun Zheng had laid during those ten years, all the people in Yan Yunwei knew that Marshal Yun was a stern man, so when they heard that Yun Zheng's tone was wrong, they all quickly became serious and stood still.
Stand and listen to the lecture
Yun Zheng used 30% of his internal strength and glanced coldly. The newly appointed commanders suddenly felt the pressure doubled. He unconsciously straightened his waist a bit, but his eyes moved from Yun Zheng's face to his toes.
, dare not look at him
Yun Zheng was slightly proud of himself, but he was not satisfied. This soldier looked comfortable with his eyes fixed forward.
He was silent for a moment. Seeing that no one dared to look around, he continued: "This is because the Yingyang Guards are a new army, a new army determined to surpass all existing strong armies! ... To surpass the existing ones!
There is only one way to build a strong army without the baptism of war, and that is to intensify training! Not only the strength must be strengthened, but the methods must also be improved and strengthened! Therefore, this decision was made: the training of Ying Yang Wei
, will be carried out in a new way!"
This time, the captains all learned the lesson, and no one looked left or right. Although they were all confused, no one made any other move. Yun Zheng glanced around, pointed at a captain and asked: "You
Can you tell me how to make an army strong?"
The captain looked to be in his thirties, of medium height, but he was very capable. When he saw that he was someone who had been beaten on the battlefield, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Yes, young marshal! I feel that I have to train without fear for my humble position.
Bitter, don’t be afraid of death when fighting!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, then pointed at another young man who was only in his twenties, and asked: "What is your name, Yun Song? Tell me."
Yunsong is a descendant of a branch of the Yun family. He graduated from Young Eagle Academy just over two years ago, and he has already been promoted to captain of thousands while the Ying Yang Guard was being established. He obviously has certain abilities. He saw him saying: "Yes, young marshal!
I believe that a strong army must first have a wise commander, then a group of elite soldiers, and finally a group of sophisticated equipment!"
Yunzheng said "hmm" but did not answer. In fact, in his opinion, whether an army can often win battles is determined by the quality of the army. And what is the quality of the army? This is Yunzheng's own adaptation.
Things that I often consider after realizing my identity as the successor of the first military family in the Wei Dynasty.
Yunzheng believes that the quality of the military is divided into two parts, one is military quality, and the other is ideological quality
There were many powerful armies in ancient Chinese history. The Qin Army, the Han Army, and the Tang Army were all strong, but the army that Yunzheng admired the most was the Yue Family Army.
"Don't tear down houses if you freeze to death, don't take captives if you starve to death." This is the lofty principle of the soldiers of the Yue Family Army in that era when life was like ants and morality was corrupt. When their personal lives were threatened, even if they had the ability to resort to illegal means.
Achieving survival does not violate his noble moral character as a soldier, which is comparable to that of a scholar who is well-educated in poetry and calligraphy.
Historical records show that when Yue Fei first led his army in the Northern Expedition, some of the soldiers left behind in the camp starved to death due to lack of military rations. In difficult times, soldiers who can persist in such noble behaviors are sages and saints in their hearts.
In the realm of benevolence, Yue Jiajun's "self-suffering can lead to benevolence" can be regarded as the virtue of a sage. In the troubled times between the two Song Dynasties, unfaithful kings were in power, traitors were prevalent, foreign invaders were powerful, civil wars were frequent, and lawless gangsters were rampant. How vulnerable were soldiers?
Temptation, how easy it is to choose an easier way to make a living. How many officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty wandered the rivers and lakes and became bandits. However, in the season of national crisis, Yue Fei led the soldiers who were hungry and cold to defend the disgraced Han regime.
How difficult it must be for Yue Fei, the dignity of the entire Chinese nation, to control his soldiers. Only by being sincere and upright can he act righteously in this critical situation.
In "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, there are five theories about the way of general: "general, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness". However, Yue Fei went out of his way to adjust this order and included "benevolence".
Yue Fei, who puts the word in the first place, once said: "There is no other way to use military force. There are five things: benevolence, trust, wisdom, courage, and strictness. Those who have merit are rewarded heavily, those who have failed are punished severely, and those who follow strict orders are the same."
The difference in this order is a huge difference in the military thinking of Yue Fei and Sun Wu. Sun Wu focuses on military art and puts victory first, so he believes that the truth of military is to put wisdom first, while Yue Fei regards the truth of military as a means to save the people and practice kindness.
, Therefore, according to the historical records of putting benevolence first and faith second, the people under Yue Fei's command are as brave as Mencius said, "The benevolent are invincible"!
In terms of ancient Chinese history, the two generals Yun Zheng admired the most were Chen Qingzhi of the Liang Kingdom in the Southern Dynasty and Yue Wu Mu of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, the "History of Liang" that records Chen Qingzhi's achievements is somewhat unreliable, and his achievements may have
Exaggeration, so Yue Fei became the army commander that Yunzheng admired most.
There are two main things he admires about Yue Fei: first, Yue Fei's virtue of sacrificing his wealth for the country; second, Yue Fei's virtue of sacrificing his relatives for the country.
It is difficult for ordinary people to give up their own property, but Yue Fei can give it up. He gave up his family property for the national wealth. In the society of the Southern Song Dynasty, when corruption was prevalent, it was not easy to "keep not a single thing privately" and to distinguish between public and private affairs. However, Yue Fei was able to "earn the tin money,
If you don't give the soldiers food, they will have to pay for it in private." As a high-ranking official, Yue Fei had a lot of property, but he often used his own property to fund the construction of the army. Once, Yue Fei asked his family to use their "house treasury"
All the items in the house, except for the "Xuangong gold", were sold and delivered to military craftsmen, who made two thousand good bows. After Zhang Yuefei was killed, Qin Hui sent people to search his house. Except for the fields and properties in Jiangzhou, only the gold and jade rhinoceros belt remained in his house.
There are several items, more than a hundred guan of money, thousands of volumes of books, but there are also three thousand pieces of cloth and silk, and more than five thousand hu of rice and wheat - these huge amounts of cloth and grain were placed to subsidize the military.
It is difficult for ordinary people to let go of their children's personal love, but Yue Fei can let it go. In order to make his son a pillar of the country, Yue Fei did not hesitate to use harsh education methods and training measures. He asked Yue Yun and Yue Lei to learn seeds from childhood.
Once, when Yue Yun was training to ride down a steep slope wearing heavy armor, Yue Fei fell off the saddle and was severely punished by Yue Fei. Historical records record that Yue Yun was beaten by Zhang Xian at the age of twelve.
The unit participated in the battle. At the age of sixteen, he bravely won the championship in the three armies. He was able to carry two hammer guns weighing dozens of kilograms. He was the first to attack the city and defeat the enemy many times. However, his military achievements were concealed by Yue Fei many times before the Yancheng War in Shaoxing ten years ago.
, Yue Fei ordered his son Yue Yun in front of the entire army to take the lead in attacking as the vanguard, and promoted the deadly battle with the strict military discipline of "You must win and then return. If you don't die, I will kill you first."
"People and horses are bloody horses" and "covered with more than a hundred injuries" to fight for the country.
Every time Yunzheng reads history books, he is always in awe of Marshal Yue's spirit.
He had to admire him, because he himself had asked himself, he knew that he could not achieve the level of Yue Fei. This is just like, if the emperor wants to attack the Yun family army now, Yun Zheng will never surrender.
Fortunately, he had reasons that he could convince himself of. For example, as a time-travelling young man, Yue Fei's loyalty to the emperor was unnecessary in his opinion. Yun Zheng's request for himself was never to be loyal to the emperor. He only asked for
As long as you can be loyal to this nation and don't do anything that would disgrace your nation.
However, "benevolence" is a moral issue. For a population where more than 95% are illiterate, Yunzheng feels that it is difficult to instill this kind of thought into him. If he instills it forcefully, he is worried that these illiterate people will make "
The meaning of "benevolence" becomes abnormal - for example, killing is wrong - then the trouble will be big.
Problems that cannot be solved by morality can be solved by law
So looking at the thirty-six captains in front of him, Yunzheng wanted to say that the system is the key. He admired Prussia. He knew that the advantages of the system were the foundation of Prussia's power, including in military, judicial, education and other aspects.
The formidable "Prussian spirit" of later generations was actually demonstrated by the perseverance and irresistibility of implementing the system.
The difficulties Yunzheng faced were that, first, he did not know how to thoroughly explain the importance of the system to these generals, most of whom had not read books (thousand captains are considered generals). Second, he was unable to integrate all the required systems at the moment.
Everything was decided and implemented without fail, so he could only fumble and take it step by step.
However, standing in the military posture, a training method that seems to have nothing to do with the system, has become the first step Yunzheng is preparing to carry out.
"The Pontus will not directly tell you how to strengthen the army today, but you can slowly watch and get a feel for it from the future training of the Pontus. I won't say much else. Let's talk now.
The training for the first three months of training Ying Yang Wei is very simple, just three words: stand, walk, and run. Today, this refers to the first training for you - stand!"
Yun Zheng said loudly: "When you have completed this training, you will train your centurions tomorrow, and your centurions will train the soldiers the day after tomorrow... Do you understand?"
"clear!--"
"Very good." Yun Zheng looked serious: "When it comes to stations, you will think that everyone knows this, but this station we are talking about today has a completely different meaning from the stations you usually talk about! You have also brought it before
I have experienced soldiers and know how soldiers stand in formation on the battlefield, but today I want to say that in my eyes, none of those formations are up to standard!"
Although he, the young marshal, was the leader of all the military competitions, when he said these words, there was still a hint of dissatisfaction in everyone's eyes. Although it was not strong, it was definitely there.
Yun Zheng pointed at the captain who had asked the question before and asked, "What's your name?"
"Come on, young marshal, I am humbled by Qin Chong!" the captain said loudly.
"Qin Chong is, very good, Commander Qin Chong, take a step forward, let's go!"
It was the first time Qin Chong heard this command. He was stunned for a moment. When he realized it, it turned out that he was telling me to take a step forward, so he took a step forward.
Yunzheng snorted: "How do your soldiers usually stand? Demonstrate it and show Pontus how to stand."
Qin Chong was surprised. Isn't standing just standing? How can I stand up in any other way? He glanced at Yunzheng doubtfully and said: "Young Marshal, I don't understand what you mean... Isn't this how I stand?"
"
Yun Zheng snorted and sneered, saying: "Come nine people and stand in a row with Qin Chong, and then come ten people and stand in a row facing them."
After the people below him fought as he said, Yun Zheng said to Qin Chong and others: "Just fight like this, don't move." Then he went to the other ten people and warned them one by one, and then walked to
On one side, he shouted: "Stand at attention!——"
The person over there immediately put their heels together, raised their head and chest, tightened their abdomen and raised their buttocks, looked forward, and put their hands vertically, close to the outside of their legs.
Yun Zheng frowned. The effect was average, but it was always much stronger than this side. He turned to the dozen or so people left behind and said, "Look, which side looks more like a strong army?"
Yun Song, who had answered Yun Zheng's question before, was in the "viewing station" team. After all, he was from the Yun family, and he was more open-minded than others. When he saw that others didn't speak first, he sighed: "Young Master.
"Shuai Yingming, I understand what you mean."
Most of these people are people who have been on the battlefield. It is natural to tell the quality of an army. The ten people here were told by Yun Zheng and they looked almost exactly the same when they stood up. The momentum came out immediately, and everyone could see it.
I can feel it, need I say more?
Qin Chong's face turned red. Fortunately, he was darker and it didn't look too obvious. He said loudly: "Young Marshal, I understand my humble position. Please give me some advice!"
This kid is quite cooperative, not bad, good value for training... Yun Zheng smiled in his heart, but his face was extremely serious, and nodded: "Okay, everyone gathers and stands in three rows... Hey, hey!
How to stand? Don't you know the rules from short to tall?...What? There is no such rule?...Then listen up, from now on, this is a rule!"
"From left to right, from short to tall... What about you? You don't know left and right? What, you don't know how to divide left and right?! You... the right side is where you hold the fucking chopsticks!" Yun Zheng really couldn't bear it.
