I saw Yuzhu riding on a tall horse, with the Tong family's ancestral waist knife hanging on his waist, making a complete circle around the square array of tax soldiers.
Suddenly, Yuzhu suddenly issued an order, "All Jia Shi, please pay attention, listen to my command, and stand at attention."
"Pa..." Jiashi's tax soldiers were very focused. As soon as Yuzhu gave the order, they immediately put their legs together and stood upright like javelins.
Yuzhu nodded secretly. Only competitive training will achieve the best results.
He has already said that those who fail the assessment today will be removed from their posts and replaced with new ones.
Before this, none of the mud-legged people in the poor ravines had ever been an official.
After such a long period of exposure, who of the four chiefs who have already tasted what it is like to be an official is willing to give up the power they have gained?
"Attention, everyone, Ding Shi, listen to my command and turn right!" Yuzhu raised his voice and gave the order loudly.
"Pah, pah." With two sounds, all eleven people in Dingshi completed their turn to the right almost at the same time.
Yuzhu noticed that no one among Dingshi turned in the wrong direction. You must know that these tax soldiers were accustomed to being free and loose a few months ago.
Seeing this scene, Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. The big bowl of meat, the reward of a lot of money, and the spanking punishment obviously had a good effect.
If you want to train purely illiterate soldiers into soldiers who obey orders in all their actions, it is actually impossible to rely solely on verbal preaching.
There is no way to educate these completely illiterate tax soldiers, and the deterrent effect of hitting the military stick is much more effective than preaching.
The chiefs often found reasons to punish their subordinates corporally. Yuzhu knew this clearly, but deliberately pretended to be deaf and mute, turning a blind eye.
"Bingshi, everyone, pay attention. Listen to my command and take a step forward." Yuzhu tormented his subordinates in different ways, with the purpose of finding out the shortcomings in the training.
Perhaps because he had been standing for a long time, one of the tax soldiers was a little distracted and his movements were half a beat slower.
Niu Tai, who was responsible for enforcing military law, led his men and carried the man out like a tiger attacking a sheep without waiting for Yuzhu's order.
"The prescribed actions were not carried out properly. According to military regulations, you should be beaten three times with a stick." Niu Tai commanded his men, pressed the tax soldier onto a long wooden bench, waved the military stick, and spanked him three times on the buttocks.
.
After being beaten with military sticks, the unlucky guy who was beaten limped back to the team under the leadership of Niu Tai. He had to continue to participate in the school parade.
"Yishi, everyone, pay attention. Listen to my command and take ten steps forward." Yuzhu's order was quite difficult.
Including the commander, there are 11 people in each company. These 11 people walk ten steps forward side by side. This is a great test of the daily training level.
Originally, Yuzhu thought that someone in Yishi would definitely make a fool of himself.
However, the reality was shocking. After the 11 people lined up neatly and walked side by side for ten steps, no one made any mistakes.
Yuzhu nodded secretly and made a mental note of the leader, Chief Lu Wu.
How could a good young talent like Lu Wu not be promoted and reused?
An hour later, the entire review operation ended.
Yuzhu adhered to the basic principles of clear rewards and punishments, fairness and openness, and exempted the commander with the worst training performance on the spot.
Even if Shichang was dismissed, he had nothing to say even though he was unconvinced.
Yuzhu said it first, promotions will be based on the results of on-site assessments. This is what he said and what he did.
The results of the assessment are all facts, everyone has seen them, and no one can open their eyes and tell lies!
After the formation and military posture training was basically completed, necessary items such as flags, drums and horns for commanding operations were officially put on the agenda.
Modern warfare includes telephones, telegraphs, and even the use of satellites to send text messages.
In this era, when two armies are fighting, various military flags, gongs and drums represent different meanings. If you can't distinguish them clearly, you won't be able to fight.
Yuzhu thought very clearly that he was leading tax soldiers after all. If he made too big a move, it would be easy for his political opponents to seize the obvious clues, which a wise man would not do.
Therefore, the handsome flag of the Yuzhu is a piece of white cloth with a jade character embroidered in red thread in the middle.
The handsome flag cannot be moved easily.
If so, wherever the commander's flag points, it will be a signal to attack with full force in that direction.
After having the basic formation foundation, the progress of the subordinates practicing the spear formation was much faster than at the beginning.
The basic principle of the spear formation is that the soldiers in the first row cannot take even half a step back. They follow the command and draw their guns together to assassinate the enemy.
To put it bluntly, what the spear formation emphasizes is overall cooperation, which is very similar to collective hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, rather than fighting alone where you stab me or not.
Ever since Yuzhu started training soldiers, Longkodo was a little worried that he didn't understand military matters and was just messing around.
So, that afternoon, Longko came to the tax patrol camp to look for Yuzhu.
Who would have thought that when Longkodo was approaching the gate of the camp, he saw a team wearing official hats, narrow-sleeved black clothes and black trousers, with a huge word "tax" embroidered on their chests, and gray clothes wrapped around their legs.
The team carrying the banners ran out of the camp in a neat queue.
There are less than a hundred people in this team, and each person carries a spear on his shoulder, a sword hanging on the left side of his belt, and a water hyacinth on the right side.
Suddenly, such a troop of troops appeared in front of him, which immediately aroused Longkodo's great interest.
Longkoduo squinted his eyes and observed carefully, his expression immediately became much more serious.
Precisely because he has devoted himself to studying the art of war, Longkodo understands it better than anyone else.
A team of dozens of people are running forward. If they want to be arranged neatly and without any disorder, it is simply difficult to reach the sky.
Not to mention others, the Eight Banners infantry camp under Longkodo, even if they were walking and marching, were scattered in clusters here and there, with almost no formation at all.
"Stand still!" Suddenly, a crisp command came from the running team.
The team that was originally running at a constant speed suddenly stopped and consciously aligned themselves in pairs.
From Longkodo's perspective, whether looking left or right, horizontally or vertically, the entire team is a straight line.
"Zi." Longkodo is a man who knows soldiers. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and secretly sighed in his heart, this is an elite soldier!
At this time, Longkodo suddenly discovered that Yuzhu was riding a bay-red horse, catching up from behind the entire team.
"Attention everyone, listen to my command and turn left." After Yuzhu gave the instruction, Longkodo was surprised to find that the large team that was originally facing him suddenly turned to face Yuzhu.
"Look to the right." After Yuzhu ordered again, the team that was originally one person apart began to gather to one side and turned into two neat straight lines.
"Report the number."
"One, two, three...five...ten...fifty-four..."
The Mudlegs actually knew how to count, and Longkodo was stunned.
"Lord Zhenyu, I have fifty-four people here. In fact, there are fifty-four people. All of them have arrived. Please give your instructions." Today's general officer, Yi Shishi, Lu Wu, strode to Yu.
He stood in front of the horse, crossed his legs, beat his chest and saluted, and loudly reported the attendance status of the personnel.
Faced with this situation, Longkodo was completely dumbfounded. He murmured these four words.
There are many more powerful forces than the Eight Banners!
Longkodo was extremely smart and had studied many military books. He had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He knew the situation of the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers very well.
There are only 10,000 tax soldiers in front of us who are uniform and can act like arms. Compared with Longkodo's 30,000 soldiers, who will win and who will lose? Do you need to ask?
Longko was distracted and stood there for a long time. When he came back to his senses, Yuzhu had led dozens of subordinates and ran far away.
The fully armed ten-mile cross-country trip is a routine event that Yuzhu must do every day.
Without a horse and poor footwork, where is the mobility?
An army that has lost its ability to maneuver has already lost more than half of its troops before the war begins.
Yuzhu ran away with the tax soldiers, and Longkoduo wanted to go to the military camp to have a look.
Who would have thought that just as Longkodo approached the military camp, a tax soldier guarding the gate waved a spear in his hand, pointed at the white line drawn on the ground, and shouted sternly: "Anyone who dares to cross the white line without following military orders will be shot to death."
Longkodo was slightly stunned. In this Forty-Nine City, except for the Forbidden City, no one dared to stop him.
"Do you know who I am?" Longko became more interested and wanted to tease the tax soldier guarding the door.
Unexpectedly, the tax soldier held his head high and said coldly: "I don't care who you are? Without Lord Jade's military order, even if the Emperor comes, he cannot enter the military camp without permission."
Okay, Long Keduo secretly gives a thumbs up and admires Yuzhu's skill in running the army!
Since ancient times, all armies that dare to fight and are good at fighting have, without exception, maintained extremely strict military discipline!
Longkodo was very curious, where did the seventeen-year-old Yuzhu learn the secrets of military training?
Yuzhu's requirement for a fully armed cross-country trip of ten miles is that if he completes it within two quarters of an hour, he will be considered qualified.
However, after running all the way, when the last returning tax soldier stepped into the camp gate, there was still about one-seventh of the time left.
"Zhu'er..." Just when Yuzhu was about to turn his horse's head and return to camp, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Yuzhu looked around and saw Longkodo, wearing a royal blue Confucian shirt, outside the camp gate, smiling and waving to him.
"Hey, Amma, why are you here?" Yuzhu quickly got off his horse, walked quickly in front of Longkodo, and saluted.
Longkodo saw that Yuzhu really respected him, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "I have been here for a long time, why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?"
He understood who Yuzhu was as soon as he heard it. I'm afraid Longkodo was frustrated at the gate of the camp, right?
If it were an ordinary person, Yuzhu would have just prevented anyone from entering the military camp, so he could have excused himself.
Longko was different, he was a man who knew how to fight. If Yuzhu came up with this reason, it would only make people laugh.
"It deserves a beating, it really deserves a beating. It's all my fault. I didn't know that Ama came here and made you feel wronged." Yuzhu made a double entendre, which not only pointed out the reality that Long Ke was suffering, but also apologized.
Longkodo is so smart. He just wants to enter the military camp to see the bigger world. Because his intuition tells him that there must be many things hidden in the military camp.
