"Su Baihu, I think you are too kind-hearted to be kind enough to control troops." Hao Tong walked up to Su Hao and said to him.
In the Baihu Office, in addition to the three official officers of the Baihu Office, Su Hao, Hao Tong, and Deng Kui, there are also college students such as Ma Yu, Jiang Yida, Luo Yuqing, and Tan Xue. These students
Now that they are all Su Hao's confidants, there is no need for Su Hao to avoid these students when discussing anything with Hao Tong and Deng Kui.
Hao Tong and Deng Kui treated Su Hao respectfully in front of the soldiers, but in private they were more casual. In their view, Su Hao was just a scholar, and they had the final say when it came to leading troops.
Su Hao raised his head and asked with a smile: "Hao Tong, what do you think is good about me?"
Hao Tong said: "You decided to starve the Xiong brothers for three days, but in the end because of the soldiers' pleading, you changed it to just one day. In this way, I'm afraid the soldiers will have no fear in the future. Also, this method of confinement is not marked.
I don’t think it’s appropriate. Soldiers have a hard time training and you don’t let him out, but he is still happy. What kind of punishment is this?”
Su Hao said: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
"For soldiers, the best punishment is to hit them with a paddle or a whip. If you don't hit them, they won't remember it for a long time." Deng Kui interjected.
Su Hao turned to Ma Yu and others and asked: "General Deng Qi said that the way to punish soldiers is to beat them. What do you think?"
Tan Xuedao: "I don't know much about military matters, but judging from what I heard, military law does focus on fighting."
Luo Yuqing also replied: "My little brother thinks that what Mr. Deng Qi said is true. Let's just say it's this soldier. Even if we make mistakes in the college, sir is also the one who makes the plans. I secretly think that this method is more effective."
Su Hao looked at Ma Yu and Jiang Yida again and found that they also had an attitude of approval on their faces. He couldn't help but shake his head and said:
"In addition to beating, there are other solutions to the problems in this world. People all have a sense of shame. If we can reason and make sense, wouldn't it be much more effective than simply beating?
Hao Tong, Deng Kui, think about it. Just now He Benzheng was willing to take the blame for the Xiong brothers. The Xiong brothers were moved and knelt down. This effect is much better than simply flogging them, right? If the sergeant is just afraid of being beaten,
But they are still dissatisfied. When it comes to war, can they really accept death as if they were going home?"
Hao Tong said: "Su Baihu, what you see is just an individual. We see a lot of things in the army. In the army, reasoning is useless. You can only rely on whips to make soldiers obey. The harder you whip him, the harder it will be.
.On the contrary, he becomes more and more convinced of you.”
Deng Kui also said: "Su Baihu, when I first served as General Deng's personal soldier, I was often beaten. When a soldier makes a mistake, he will naturally be beaten. As long as the officer acts fairly, the soldier will be beaten."
I am also convinced.”
"I cannot accept this truth." Su Hao said, "In fact, confinement is also a very good punishment method. If you don't believe it, just lock yourself in a small dark room and stay there for a whole day. I
I believe that after you have stayed here once, you will never want to go in again."
"This method sounds new, let's try it in the future," Hao Tong said.
Su Hao said: "Since I am asked to be a hundred households, I have to set the rules. Our hundred households are different from the ordinary army. What we train is a technical branch, which requires soldiers to work hard. Therefore, training soldiers
Dignity is very important. If soldiers don’t have dignity, they won’t do their best when performing missions in the future, and you don’t want the map in your hand to be wrong, right?”
"This..." Hao Tong had nothing to say. What Su Hao said made sense. This batch of soldiers had a certain level of technical content, which was different from the ordinary soldiers in the army. How to train such soldiers, Hao Tong himself also
He has no experience, so he cannot stick to his own point of view.
Su Hao patted Hao Tong on the shoulder and said to him and Deng Kui: "You two go to rest first. Starting tomorrow, we will train soldiers according to the drill code jointly formulated by you and me. Where corporal punishment can be avoided, try not to use corporal punishment.
Of course, I am not completely opposed to corporal punishment. Didn’t these six soldiers all receive 10 lashes today?"
"Okay, then let's try Su Baihu's military training method." Hao Tong and Deng Kui nodded.
Su Hao pointed to the banner that Ma Yu had just written about "Being in the same robe as your son" and said: "Both of you, please hang this banner in the dining hall tomorrow, before having breakfast, lunch and dinner every day.
, ordered the soldiers to recite it repeatedly to enhance their sense of community."
"No!" Hao Tong and Deng Kui responded, then took the banner and bowed out of Baihu Yamen.
Watching the two leave, Ma Yu stepped forward and said softly to Su Hao: "Brother Gai, in my humble opinion, what Mr. Hao Qi and Mr. Deng Qi said may make more sense."
"How do you say this?" Su Hao asked.
Ma Yudao: "These soldiers are still different from scholars. Scholars pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, and justice, and have righteousness in their hearts. The word dignity mentioned by Brother Gai is more important to scholars than their lives. But soldiers are all
The rough and tumble people in the country have not read the books of sages and sages, so how can they understand etiquette and justice? Brother Gai said that cultivating their dignity is just a matter of walking at night in brocade clothes and asking questions to the blind."
Su Hao shook his head slowly and said: "Brother Duwen's evaluation of this country man is definitely biased. As for the fight between soldiers today, the cause was indeed because of grabbing food, which sounds extremely vulgar.
But what happened next made me deeply moved."
"Why is Brother Gai so emotional?" Ma Yu asked.
Su Hao told Ma Yu and several other students about the half bowl of rice that the Xiong brothers had given each other, and then told the story about He Benzheng's willingness to starve for the punishment of the Xiong brothers.
After hearing this, all the students were silent. After a long while, Jiang Yida said: "These soldiers can actually take such a responsibility. It's no wonder that Brother Gai is open to them. I also have a few friends who have never read.
"Although they don't understand the etiquette of saints and sages, they are quite loyal when doing things, just as Brother Gai said."
Su Hao smiled and said: "The ancients said that those who are just butchering dogs are only half-hearted, but those who are heartless are scholars. Although this saying is not very pleasant, it still makes some sense. Whether a person is responsible depends on how many books he has read.
It doesn't matter much. Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy at the border are much nobler than the sour Confucians who talk about etiquette, justice and morality in the court."
"A man who is just butchers dogs, but a man who is unfaithful is a scholar...Who said this? How come I have never heard of it?" Ma Yu wondered.
"Uh..." Su Hao didn't know how to explain it. This was the embarrassment of time-travelers. In fact, this couplet, which was extremely famous in later generations, had not yet come out, and its author Cao Xuequan was only 16 years old at this time.
"I don't know who said it, it was probably me." Su Hao said.
Ma Yu cast a suspicious look at Su Hao: "Brother Gai has read a lot of books, but most of them are things that I have never heard of. This is really strange."
"Brother Duwen, it's just a couplet. Why bother to pursue it? I think that no matter who wrote this couplet, the meaning in it is very good. I like it!" Jiang Yida laughed and said,
He was originally a bohemian person and had no good impression of stereotyped articles. When he heard someone belittle scholars in this way, instead of being angry, he found it quite enjoyable.
"You two are such polite scum! How could I associate with people like you?" Ma Yu shook his head and sighed. Of course, Su Hao and Jiang Yida knew that his words were just teasing. They have been interacting for a long time, and they have a deep understanding of each other.
Their tempers are relatively well understood.
After the joke was over, Su Hao put away his smile and said to all the students: "Everyone, I, the soldiers of the Hundred Household Institute, have reached the halfway point. Now I have to give them the basic knowledge of surveying and mapping. I can't afford this on my own.
There are many courses, so I have to leave the teaching to you dear friends. I only want to explain one thing, these soldiers are only rough in writing and have no basic skills. When teaching, you should have more patience and must not be impatient."
It turned out that after Su Hao was assigned by the Jiangxi Dusi, he made an appointment with Ma Yu, Jiang Yida and other students, and invited them to come to his military camp to teach the surveying and mapping department. These students had all learned from Su Hao
Allowing them to teach the newly recruited soldiers about surveying and mapping courses can not only reduce Su Hao's burden, but also help them better understand the knowledge they have learned. This is also a killing two birds with one stone.
There is a lot of mathematical knowledge in the surveying and mapping courses, which is very difficult for soldiers with low education levels. They must have teachers by their side to provide continuous guidance. In addition to these jobs at Baihu Institute, Su Hao
In addition, he also had to worry about things in coal mines, workshops, etc., so it was impossible to have more energy to guide the soldiers. With Ma Yu and other soldiers coming to help, Su Hao felt much more relaxed.
After hearing Su Hao's words, several students nodded quickly and said, "Brother Gai, don't worry. Since we have accepted Brother Gai's entrustment, we should do our best to fulfill our responsibilities. The methods of surveying and mapping we have learned,
They are all taught by brother Gai. From this point of view, brother Gai is also our mentor. The teacher has orders, how dare the disciples disobey?"
Su Hao waved his hand and said: "You are serious, we are just comparing each other, how can I be your teacher? I ask you to be my instructor in the camp, but it is out of helplessness. This method of surveying and mapping is all about practice.
At that time, we have to take the soldiers out in groups to do on-the-ground operations, and it is extremely difficult for me to do it alone."
The students said: "Brother Gai is too polite. This is all within my scope."
"As for Shu Xiu, who invites you to be my instructor, I think it is inappropriate to use those yellow and white things to stain your eyes. How about I give each of you a pair of telescopes in the future?" Su Hao asked.
The output of telescopes in Hao's workshop is constantly increasing. This thing is a common item for Su Hao, but it is very rare for others. Su Hao uses it as salary to pay these students, and there is no need to worry that they will not accept it.
.
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you!" As expected, the students replied in unison, and then they laughed together.
