In fact, at this time, the Qin Dynasty, after several wars with the wolf clan, requisitioned a large number of people to build the Great Wall, Chidao and palaces, the people were already dissatisfied, and the Qin army was no longer the army that swept away the Liuhe swept the eight wildernesses to be able to conquer the good war, Meng Tian led an army of 300,000 to guard the Great Wall in the north and still have combat power, but many of the garrisons in various counties have been neglected to train, so that the size of the rebel army has surged, and the combat power of the garrison has weakened.

Perhaps, when Xu Fu refers to the crisis in the empire, he is referring to the affairs of the rebel army, or is there something else......

Training a group of rabble, but Ye Shikai is what he is best at.

The next day, the training ground.

"Attention to the shield soldiers in front, you must hold the front line to cover the sergeants behind. ”

"When the pikemen stand behind, they put their spears on the shields in the front row, and they stand still, and they are not allowed to move. ”

"Archers, find the right time and shoot your bow and arrows. ”

The officers standing in front kept shouting orders, but the sergeants below were lazy and lazy, the military formation was not in place, and it was a plate of scattered sand on the battlefield.

"Lao Ye, you can also see it, where are these sergeants, they are simply market hooligans wearing armor. Shangguan Jian complained.

"If a sergeant does not listen to the command during the training of the military formation, the first time he will be punished with 30 canes, the second time he will be flogged 80 times, and the third time he will be ...... Beheaded for public display, on the contrary, if the training performance is outstanding and praised, the first reward is ten taels of silver, the second time is promoted to one level, and the third time is awarded the title of military merit. Ye Shikai's rewards and punishments can be called "extreme", according to Qin law, only by cutting off the enemy's head on the battlefield can he get a reward for military merits, but just by training, this is the first time he has heard of it, of course, he can be trained to be "beheaded", this is also the first time he has heard of it.

Ye Shikai has no other purpose, if this army wants to quickly gain combat effectiveness, it must be a "ruthless medicine", whether it is a reward or a punishment, the intensity must be great, and it is the kind of "big" that is jaw-dropping, sure enough, as soon as these words came out, all the commanders, five hundred masters, hundred generals and other officers present all showed shocked expressions.

"General, isn't this punishment too harsh. A commander at the bottom dissuaded, if the first two canes and whippings were flesh and blood, then the third beheading was terrifying.

"During training, if one person makes a mistake and one person is punished, but if he goes to the battlefield and one person makes a mistake, the whole army will "pay" for him, and if dozens of brothers die because of one person, who will bear this responsibility. Ye Shikai said coldly, Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, even more so in the face of these sergeants, not to mention, although the punishment is severe, the reward can also be called "tempting", under the two plus, it should not be a problem to stimulate the fighting spirit of these sergeants.

"My order has been given, and there is no possibility of change, so go ahead. ”

"Wow. ”

When all the sergeants heard Ye Shikai's order, their hearts trembled, and they would be beheaded if they were not well trained, what is the reason.

"This is not taking the lives of our brethren seriously. When many sergeants heard this order, they expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted to argue with Ye Shikai.

"You're training passively now, and that's what you don't mean with your lives. Ye Shikai pulled out his sword, pointed at the sergeant below and scolded loudly, "Shangguan Jian, those noisy sergeants just now, all of them will be punished with thirty rods, and if they commit any more crimes, they will be flogged eighty." ”

"Wow. ”

............................................................

In one day, more than 30 sergeants were reprimanded with canes, and several sergeants were whipped, but the punishment reached this point, and not many sergeants dared to test Ye Shikai's patience, and no one dared to touch the "high-voltage line" of decapitation, plus some sergeants were indeed rewarded, so the training atmosphere of the entire army changed suddenly, which is what Ye Shikai wanted to see.

Grace and power are given, and rewards and punishments are clear.

"This is the equipment and ordnance I need, Shangguan, you go and urge the county governor's mansion to prepare it as soon as possible, I am in a hurry to use it." Ye Shikai handed a bamboo slip to Shangguan Jian.

"Lao Ye, these things are a bit too much, what if Ma Yao is unwilling to take them out. Shangguan Jian glanced at it and frowned.

"If I were Ma Yao, then I would have wanted you to make a request. Ye Shikai smiled faintly.

"Lao Ye, what do you mean by this. ”

"The equipment in Ma Yao's hand, he has no use for keeping it, on the contrary, if he can't solve the problem of the rebel army, I'm afraid that His Majesty the First Emperor's dismissal order will come first. Ye Shikai's words changed, "Believe it or not, even if I want his wife now, he will definitely be able to give it out." ”

"I see, then I understand, now I'll take someone to the county governor's mansion. Shangguan Jian nodded and turned to leave.

Everything was as Ye Shikai expected, Ma Yao quickly asked people to send all the weapons, armor and ordnance that Ye Shikai needed, and also sent a lot of extra silver, saying that he wanted to reward the troops, and Ye Shikai also gave all these rewards to the three thousand sergeants, with strict training, they must also be "generously rewarded", so that the sergeants can be motivated.

Two weeks later.

"Lao Ye, I just got the news that a group of rebels killed a team of Qin soldiers who were escorting grain and grass, and the whole army was wiped out, and the grain and grass were also lost. Shangguan Jian walked into Ye Shikai's camp tent and handed over a bamboo slip.

"Fifty Qin soldiers, not one left, it's a bit interesting. Ye Shikai glanced at it and said lightly, "It's that group of rebels, is the investigation clear?" ”

"Well, it was the rebel army that defeated a group of Qin soldiers in the forest on the day we first came to Dongjun, according to Xue San's intelligence, they occupied the mountains and forests, took advantage of the terrain, and constantly attacked the Qin army's convoys and plundered supplies, and the number has grown to thousands of people. ”

"It looks like it's time to get rid of them. Ye Shikai could have heard it, if he hadn't been in a hurry, Shangguan Jian wouldn't have said so many "words", and he also saw a trace of expectation in Shangguan's eyes, it seemed that in addition to wanting to exterminate the rebel army, what he wanted more was to test the combat effectiveness of the newly trained sergeants.

"Shangguan, you immediately go to the county governor's mansion and hand over this plan to him. Ye Shikai nodded, took out a bamboo slip from the copy, and handed it over directly.

"What, old Ye, it turns out that you have planned it a long time ago. Shangguan Jian was very surprised, he didn't expect that Ye Shikai had already prepared.
