Chapter 141: Discipline
Three days later, Chen Hai summoned Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong, Du Yong, Ran Hu, Wu Jinglin, and other military attachés to his big tent and distributed the newly compiled booklet to everyone for reference. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the disciples selected by the Academy Palace are all the elites of the elite among the younger generation of the counties, and they are the proud sons of the heavens of the sects, there are not many who really have experience in leading the army.
Although Chen Hai has a record of success, his surprise attack on Chishan City is too much like a gambler's style; even if there is a battalion of trained Kou Nu soldiers and disciples in Yulong Mountain, it is only three or five hundred.
Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji had great doubts about whether Chen Hai was sure to organize and train the New Army, but on the basis of the current plan for the formation of the New Army in Xiyuan, neither of them could serve as the chief officers of the New Army, so they could only pin their hopes on Chen Hai.
What's more, Chen Hai is the person he fancies.
However, even though they had been prepared in their hearts, after Chen Hai took out the new drill manual, Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji still found it difficult to accept, and almost completely put aside the drill code promulgated by the Taiwei Mansion and set up new rules.
Du Yong, Ran Hu and others, who are also disciples of the Taiwei Sect with Chen Hai, will not refute Chen Hai in person, so that Chen Hai will not be able to get off the stage, and they will only pinch the new drill manual into their hands and keep silent; other military attachés are from other counties and sects, and there are even many disciples who ask Qin Sect that they don't need to give Chen Hai any face at all, and some people stand up and question on the spot:
"Organizing and training the new army, the Taiwei Mansion has a drill code to follow, and the new law practiced by Chen Duwei is too contrary to the drill code, and the last general really can't see the possibility of training the 8,000 rabble into an elite within half a year, and he also asks the commander to make it clear. ”
The meaning between the words, if Chen Hai's explanation is not satisfactory to him, he will be the first to stand up against the training of generals according to the new regulations.
Chen Hai didn't look at the others, Shen Yi's eyes looked at Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji.
"The new rules of discipline and training established by the captain of the Che Cavalry are determined by the two of us after many discussions, and they seem to be different from the drill code, but if the training is not completed after half a year, the responsibility will be borne by the three of us, and you only need to act according to the rules!" Zhao Rong could only bite the bullet at this time and stand up strongly to support Chen Hai.
At the moment, there were too many people who had doubts, but seeing that Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji, two cavalry captains with actual experience in commanding troops, unswervingly supported Chen Hai, they still wanted to oppose it, so they could only bypass Chen Hai, Zhao Rong, and Tu Ziji and directly sue the Taiwei Mansion.
However, in this way, the movement will not be small, will the Taiwei Mansion reprimand Chen Hai, Zhao Rong, and Tu Ziji, and the only fate for those who dare to report to the Taiwei Mansion is to be driven out of the seventh capital of the new army.
Or that all the military attachés present stood up against Chen Hai, Zhao Rong, and Tu Ziji acting arbitrarily, but there will be more than 20 of the more than 100 military attachés who are trained and trained by the disciples of Taiwei Sect, and no matter how incomprehensible they are, it is impossible for them to openly stand up and sing against Chen Hai at this time.
At this time, more people still have the mentality of watching a good show, watching how Chen Hai will step down half a year later.
Chen Hai demanded that many military attachés need to familiarize themselves with the new drill and training manual within three days, but the drill and training of the new army in the camp city of the Seventh Capital must be strictly carried out in accordance with the manual, and he will lead the personal soldiers of the battalion to personally supervise the implementation, and the implementation is not in place, and the punishment rules written in the second half of the manual are also extremely detailed and severe.
The military attachés left with the drill manual that had just been transcribed and the ink had not yet dried, while Du Yong and Ran Hu stayed at the end.
They will not openly sing against Chen Hai, even if Du Yong is dissatisfied with Chen Hai, they can't forget their origins as disciples of Hexi, but they are really puzzled by the new training manual in their hearts, looking at the big tent only Tu Ziji, Zhao Rong, Zhou Jun, Wu Meng and other Chen Hai's descendants, they still can't help but ask the doubts in their hearts:
"According to this manual, every day of the drill is just to stare at the sitting and standing of each general, and even eat, drink and Lazar have to be managed, the martial arts forging body has been reduced to one hour a day, and the skills such as shield halberd and imperial shooting are only taught to the skin, and even the most important battle formation drill in the drill is not mentioned, and the seventh capital can really become an army within half a year?"
"Is it really necessary to fold the bedding so neatly, and the main responsibility of us, the chief officers, is really to check whether the people below fold the mattress neatly every day, and see if the soldiers are walking correctly, will it be a bit overkill?" Tu Ziji also asked a little uncontrollably.
It is possible to teach some of the most basic martial arts to the new soldiers, and in Tu Ziji's view, this can maximize the combat power of the new army of the seventh capital.
Chen Hai knew that he also had to give Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji an explanation, otherwise, the follow-up implementation would be a big problem, and said:
"The soldiers of the Seventh Capital are complex, and their nature is unruly, and it is difficult to form an army according to the law of discipline promulgated by the Taiwei Mansion, so the only way to do extraordinary things is to do extraordinary things. And my drill manual boils down to one point, on the two words 'discipline'. Discipline is discipline and discipline. It is necessary for these unruly recruits to start from all the details of sitting, standing, eating, sleeping, and camping in three to six months, and let the word 'rules' be engraved and infiltrated into their bone marrow and blood, so that they can be called the foundation of an elite division. Without this foundation, no matter how well the martial arts forging body and shield halberd and imperial archery drills are practiced, they are just a rabble who do not obey the control. You must believe in me now, and if you don't see results in two months, it's not too late for you to come and refute me. ”
"Oh well. Du Yong and Ran Hu said suspiciously, and left the big tent with the new exercise manual.
Chen Hai could also see that Zhao Rong and Tu Ziji's eyes were still distrustful, they should have been instructed by the mysterious person behind the scenes, so they had to support him hard, and they laughed helplessly in their hearts.
The new drill manual compiled by Chen Hai was compiled by combining the queue drill and camp management that he was familiar with on Earth with the battle flag herald system of the Taiwei Mansion.
The current problem faced by the 8,000 Konu soldiers is not that the force value is low.
In fact, most of the 8,000 new soldiers selected and sent by the Taiwei Mansion from Zhufu County were born as Jiangyang thieves, even if there were not many who really had a cultivation foundation, but they were strong and had a good foundation.
In fact, the Xiyuan New Army was destined to have an unpredictable future from the moment it was born, and it was possible to fall victim to the power of the emperor at any time, and it was impossible for the eight clans in Jingjun to hand over the real elite and brave soldiers controlled by the clan, so the new soldiers accepted by the other eight capitals were all inferior to these heavy prisoners and slaves who were sent to the New Army of the Seventh Capital.
The biggest problem faced by Chen Hai is that the 8,000 Kou slave soldiers are rebellious by nature, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, if they fight alone, they are all good characters who are fierce and ruthless, and they are fierce beasts with fierce and exposed appearance, but if they are formed into an army, they are actually a rabble that is easily killed by elite divisions.
The first thing Chen Hai wanted to do was to engage in special camp affairs, let them learn to fold the bedding into tofu blocks as neatly, let them spend a lot of time on queue drills in the early stage, and let them do the prohibition of every turn and step......
The so-called drill manual, Chen Hai is to let the "rules" penetrate into the blood of every slave soldier through the repeated torture of many details and countless daily trivial things, so that it is possible to form the habit of obedience from subordinates to superiors, so that the entire army is like one person.
This is the gist of the law of "discipline", a qualified elite soldier should rely on military discipline to control, the strong are respected thinking, at this time to change slightly.
***************************
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The new discipline method with "rules and disciplines" as the key is too unfamiliar to the Yanzhou generals.
The daily drill is repeated as standing upright, taking a break, turning around, walking in unison, running, saluting, assembling, disbanding, reporting the number, and the whole team is a few simple queue actions; and the mattress made of hemp material is also too difficult to fold into standard tofu blocks, and the camp management can be said to be a kind of torture for new and old generals.
And through this kind of "torture", Chen Hai is not to grind off the edges and corners of these unruly heavy prisoners and slaves, but to turn them into a group of wolves who hide their ferocious wildness deep in their bones and obey the actions of the head wolf, rather than disorderly beasts that do their own thing.
Chen Hai has formulated severe punishment rules for all those who violate the training manual, whether it is intentionally contradicted or repeatedly corrected, whether it is an old soldier or a newly selected Kou slave soldier, or even a military attache who is trained and trained.
At the beginning, the punishment was still light, and the main thing was to familiarize the upper and lower levels with the new rules and regulations, and on the fifteenth day, the whipping began.
In the first few days of the flogging, hundreds of people were whipped to a bloody pulp every day and tied up in front of the gate of the camp to show the public.
Chen Hai governed the army in this way, and Ding Shuang and they were even worried that it would be too harsh, so that the low-level generals would breed resentment and bury deep in their hearts, which would become a hidden danger that would cause mutiny in the future, and they were also worried that Chen Hai's reputation for governing the army too cruelly would spread out, which would soon cause interference from the outside world.
However, this concern did not arise.
The establishment of the Xiyuan New Army can be said to be the product of a compromise under the entanglement of the supporting ministers of the crown prince Yingdan and the Yitian Emperor, not to mention that there has not been a chariot cavalry general or hussar general in the Xiyuan Army Governor's Mansion so far has been ordered to preside over it, and even the chief officers of the training such as the chariot and cavalry captains and the cavalry captains have only a very few people who have cultivated above the realm of enlightenment.
All parties did not have much expectation for the combat strength of the Xiyuan New Army from the beginning, let alone expect to be on a par with the real elite of the Tiger Army, and it was precisely because of this that the Taiwei Mansion interfered very little in the formation and training of the Jiudu New Army, and it could even be said to be laissez-faire.
Although the Xiyuan Army has a governor's office, in the case of the vacancy of the main general, it is only responsible for logistics support, and has no right to meddle in the following organization and training, which also provides great convenience for Chen Hai's strict management of the army.
Otherwise, one or two new pawns who did not obey the instructions would be killed in three or five days, and Chen Hai would have been impeached and punished long ago without waiting for the name of cruelty to spread.
The Taiwei Mansion said that it was laissez-faire, but regular inspections of the new army's training were indispensable.
At the end of May, Yao Qitai, the left secretary of the Taiwei Mansion, and other generals were ordered to gallop into the West Garden to inspect the training of the new army.
Dong Ning, Chen Qing and others, as members of the accompanying disciples, rode into the West Garden and arrived at the foot of Fujiaoling Mountain, and saw that in front of the gate of the camp built by logging, there were four coiled dragon bronze pillars with a height of 15 or 6 meters, which had been impregnated and coagulated with a thick layer of purple-black plasma.
At this time, there were three young men who had been stripped naked, their hands were tied to the copper pillars, and they were scolding at the camp city, and at this time they had already the eighteen generations of Chen Hai's ancestors......
