Chapter 11 Gao Yuan's Speech on New Strategies Jiguang led the troops to become famous
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
At the end of the day, that is, at six o'clock in the future, the sun has just emerged, and there are heavy drums in the school field.
Of course, Gao Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to see how much time it would take for all the people to arrive. So he came together with the two brothers Gao Chong and Zhang Dingbian as soon as they discussed, and the result really did not disappoint Gao Yuan, it was exactly the same as he imagined.
After the three-way drum was completed, the whole school field was sparsely pulled and a little bit of people came, Gao Yuan looked at the people below and said to Gao Chong and Zhang Dingbian: "Big brother, Dingbian, see it, the drum is an order, everyone must be together after the drum sound, you see how many people are there now, if there is really a fight, can you react at the current level?" ”
Gao Zhong and Zhang Dingbian were silent, and they also knew that Gao Yuan was reasonable, and they also expressed support for Gao Yuan's behavior.
"Keep beating the drums, I'm going to see how long it will take for the people to arrive?" Takato commanded the drummer. Then the drums sounded again on the school grounds, and the drums became more and more rapid.
The rapid sound of drums sounded, and the soldiers in the camp were either puzzled, or some woke up like a dream.
"What's wrong today, why did the drum suddenly go on?"
"The drum is getting faster and faster, maybe something is going on? Check it out! ”
"Aren't you training today?"
"The devil knows, hurry up and assemble, it's too late and you don't know what's going on?"
"Hurry up, they're all going to the school yard to assemble!"
"Don't worry! Wait for me~"
……
In the past half an hour, all the soldiers on the school field have arrived one after another.
Gao Yuan just stood on the high platform and watched the every move of everyone below, some people were panicked and didn't even wear their clothes, some people came to the school field like this because they were disheveled, and some yawned and looked like they didn't wake up.
In this group of sparse teams, there is a team that has attracted Gao Yuan's special attention, this team is only about a dozen people, but the queue is extremely neat, the standing posture is also extremely upright, the mental outlook is far from being comparable to others, giving people a feeling of vigorous and upward, and the performance in the queue is very conspicuous.
And Gao Yuan also noticed that this team was also the first to come here, and even Di Qing and Guan Sheng's team came later than him. When Gao Yuan's first drum sounded, before the drum fell, the team had already arrived at the school field and stood still, and never moved until now, always looking ahead, not affected by the surrounding environment at all.
After about a quarter of an hour, seeing that Gao Yuan didn't say a word, the soldiers on the school field began to be restless, and they became more and more unseemly, talking to each other below, and some of them complained quietly.
"What? Why didn't you say a word when you called us here? ”
"Well, you might as well go back to sleep!"
"Hey, let's not say a word, isn't it right to see the general's face?" A careful soldier reminded.
……
"Quiet!"
Gao Yuan glanced at Gao Pet, and after Gao Pet understood, he immediately shouted, a voice like Huang Zhong Da Lu suddenly stopped the whispering of his soldiers, and the soldiers saw that it was Gao Pet, and they were so frightened that they stopped talking.
Although Gao Yuan is a general, Gao Chong left a deeper impression on them, and the powerlessness of the ten thousand enemies made them feel even more frightened, which is why Gao Chong came forward, without him, it was more deterrent.
After everyone was quiet, Gao Zhong stepped back and gave up his position, and then Gao Yuan walked up and said to the soldiers below: "Look at your appearance, do you still have a little bit of an official and military appearance?" It's been so long since the drums have been beating, and the talents have been assembled, if the enemy attacks us now, will you be able to resist it in your current state? Can you guarantee that you will survive? ”
Gao Yuan's words were very serious, but everything was true and true, so he continued: "Think about it yourself, can you really become an elite like this? Can you really defeat the enemy? ”
However, Gao Yuan still seems to have overestimated the ideological pursuit of people in this period, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, most people are still in a state of ignorance, and a small number of people will feel ashamed because they may die, and there are still a few people who really have ambitions.
In fact, it is no wonder that it is lofty, mainly because the thinking has not yet changed from modern times, as the old saying goes, "Enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace, and enough to know etiquette!" "Only when the standard of living keeps up will people be in the mood to think about other things.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued year after year, and things that changed children and ate food happened from time to time, and it became a luxury for the people to live, so how could they think about anything else. Whether it is a soldier fighting a war or a rebellion, it is just to survive and have something to eat, and it is not their business to think about who to fight for.
It's not that people in this era don't pursue, but they have to be determined according to the specific situation, special circumstances are special, and there are only a few people who are born to lie on the finish line, like the children of the poor family, who can solve the problem of eating, so they want to become better and complete the transition from a poor family to a wealthy family, not to mention the big family, they will never worry about eating, even if it is a war era, it is the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, what they think is more far-reaching, the size of the official position, the inheritance of the family, and those who want to change the dynasty.
And what the people think and think about is their own one-third of an acre of land, and whoever can let them have enough to eat, they will follow whomever they want. It just so happens that the most populous people are the least valued people who can't eat.
And half of Gao Yuan's current troops were allocated to him by Huangfu Song, and on the other side, some people who couldn't eat were forced to rebel and surrender. So Gao Yuan has to change his thinking. If you don't give people food, you just paint cakes for others, and a fool is willing to follow you.
After figuring out the key, Gao Yuan had a plan in his heart, so he changed his strategy to another topic and said: "I will convene everyone today because there are several things to announce to you. ”
"First, from now on, all the non-commissioned officers in my Gaoyuan Army will eat instead of two meals a day to three meals a day! And eat meat at least once every three days. ”
Before the Song Dynasty, people only ate two meals a day, at nine o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon, and then there was a supper after the economic launch of the Song Dynasty, which gradually became three meals a day. And Gao Yuan is going to turn it into three meals a day now, so that the soldiers' training can keep up.
After Gao Yuan finished speaking at the first point, the soldiers below were already dumbfounded, and even Di Qing, Guan Sheng and others were stunned, after all, they only talked about military training yesterday, why did they announce today that they were eating. However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Gao Yuan continued: "Second, all the soldiers in my Gao Yuan Army will be paid monthly according to their positions! ”
If Gao Yuan's first point shocked the soldiers, then Gao Yuan's second point completely made everyone bomb the camp, and they all talked about it one by one.
"Is it really fake, is it paid every month?"
"You shouldn't have fooled us, did you?"
"Didn't you hear that, according to the personal position?"
……
One by one, they all said suspiciously, why there was such a big reaction, because the soldiers of this era did not have such a formal salary, either they were the private soldiers of various generals and families, or they were recruited by the imperial court to fight, and they all brought their own horses and weapons, and the imperial court only took care of food and did not pay money.
Therefore, Gao Yuan's doing this can be said to be a precedent, if he really does it, I am afraid that the cohesion of the army will rise to a higher level.
"General, you said that military salaries are paid according to positions, so can we ordinary soldiers pay them?" A bold soldier asked.
Gao Yuan looked at the soldier and said solemnly in the expectant eyes of all the soldiers: "Fa, as long as you are a regular soldier of my Gao Yuan Army, whether it is a non-commissioned officer, a captain or a general, and the higher your position, the more military salaries." As long as you have the ability, you can be a captain or even a general. ”
After hearing the official reply, all the soldiers were boiling and shouted one after another, and their excitement was overflowing.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect to really send money, long live the general!"
"Don't say anything more, my life will be the general's in the future."
……
Gao Yuan looked at the excited crowd, motioned for them to calm down, and said: "But this money is not so easy to get, and only after officially becoming a member of our army can you be eligible for these treatments." Look at the bear-like look you guys gathered today, procrastinating, fluffy, okay? ”
The passion in everyone's hearts was extinguished a little by a basin of cold water from Gao Yuan, yes, how could it be so easy for you to get these things. Then I heard Takato continue.
"In view of the fact that your current performance is far from meeting my requirements, I will retrain you, and only if you meet my standards can you be considered a full-fledged member of our army, my brother, and a comrade-in-arms whom I can entrust to my back. And if it doesn't meet the standard, then where to go back and forth, our army does not raise idlers. ”
"From now on, the army will train once a day, windy and rainy, rain or shine, only those who can persist can become a member of our army, if you feel that you can't stand it, can't accept training, you can leave now, I will never force it. But after you stay, you want to leave because the training is too hard, then don't blame me for being aloof and unsympathetic. ”
"From now on, give you a quarter of an hour to consider, whether to go or to stay? Once you choose to stay, then there is no way back, otherwise what will greet you is military law, think about it, I will wait for your results after a quarter of an hour. Gao Yuan said.
After Gao Yuan finished speaking, the people below immediately became restless, discussing with each other whether to go or stay?
"Hey, how about it, go or stay?"
"I'll definitely stay, anyway, there are few people in the family, it's good to have food and money here."
"I'll stay too, no matter how hard the training is, it's worth it, isn't it just a life!"
……
A quarter of an hour later, except for a few people who left, most of them stayed, and Gao Yuan believed that there were definitely those who were ready to fish in troubled waters, but it didn't matter that after the training really began, someone would be exposed, and then the military law would teach him to be a man.
"Okay, now that everyone has decided, let's officially start training in the afternoon."
"The leader of that queue comes out." Gao Yuan said, pointing in the neatest direction of the queue. Everyone looked at Gao Yuan, and sure enough, the strict queue stood out in the entire team.
A man with a resolute face and a tall figure ran out of the queue and came to Gao Yuan's side and hugged his fists and said, "Shi Changqi Jiguang has seen the general!" ”
Gao Yuan's heart was shocked, it turned out that he was Qi Jiguang, no wonder he could bring out such a team, it was really a talent, Gao Yuan asked quietly: "You brought out that team?" ”
"Yes!" Qi Jiguang replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Okay, just looking at the demeanor of your dozen people, I think you can bring out tens of thousands of elite soldiers." Gao Yuan exclaimed, and then with a straight face, he officially appointed you as a new military cadet, specifically responsible for the training of the new army. and gave Qi Jiguang great support. Qi Jiguang accepted the appointment with an excited face.
Everyone has no objection to Gao Yuan's appointment, Zhang Dingbian and their performance led by Qi Jiguang just now is indeed very eye-catching, while the soldiers are more envious, and they have become instructors for all of them at once.
After the policy is finished, the training instructor has also been decided, and the rest depends on Qi Jiguang's training and Gao Yuan's future planning.
