The rumbling drum sounded again, and Lu Zhan wiped the sweat that kept pouring out of his face, ready to stab. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His heart was beating harder.

Sink down, flat-end, sprint, pierce out!

"Kill!"

One hit!

The tip of the gun accurately pierced the red spot in the neck.

At this time, the audience was full of joy, and the soldiers of the three teams roared and cheered like crazy, and the captain Guan Zhen was so excited that his face was red, and the roots of his forehead were full of green tendons.

The soldiers of the other teams, hearing the thunderous cheers here, also looked over to this side, their faces full of surprise and concern.

Lu Zhancai gasped for breath, swallowed his saliva hard, and breathed deeply to stabilize his beating heart.

He stared at the tip of the spear that flashed with cold light, and in the cold cold light, there seemed to be an inexplicable fate flowing.

With only one final blow left, you can become a real spear sergeant!

The final blow began.

The drums sounded unprecedentedly deafeningly, and Lu Zhan could feel that now, on the entire school field of the gun exam, he was the only focus of everyone's attention.

"Ahh

A heaping cry rang out.

Lu Zhancai, who was in a good posture, was like a fierce beast attacking, roaring and holding his spear straight to the shield.

"Kill!!" The spear in his hand was hit hard by Lu Zhancai with all his strength, and at this moment when it was so quiet that he could hear the sound of the needle dropping, the 4-meter stainless steel spear, like an angry silver dragon, roared softly, and very accurately pierced the red spot on the head of the wooden target!

The force of this thorn was so great that the five-fingered thick wooden target was thrust down, and there was a loud cracking sound.

"Lu Zhancai, the tenth blow is successful, and he will be awarded the rank of sergeant!"

The smiling invigilator, with the same inexplicable excitement, shouted out the words loudly.

In Li Xiao's army, the first spearman sergeant was born!

In Lu Zhancai's eyes, two lines of hot tears rolled down.

Immediately, he looked up to the sky and roared.

The audience cheered.

Lu Zhancai was immediately surrounded by all three teams of spear regiments who were cheering and warmly embraced.

The spearmen of the other teams also applauded enthusiastically.

Guan Zhen ran over, patted Lu Zhancai's shoulder vigorously, and said sincerely: "Zhancai, you are the pride of our third team, and the pride of all the spearmen of the Tiger Army!" ”

。。。。。。

After eight days, the daily test from dawn to near dusk, the assessment test of all branches of the Chifeng Battalion was finally completed.

The final statistics were reported.

Shieldmen: 40 sergeants, 95 sergeants.

Spearmen: 63 sergeants, 198 sergeants.

Lu Mi Gun: 2 sergeants, 7 sergeants.

Gunners: 6 sergeants, 23 sergeants.

Flying Harriers: 18 sharps, 49 sergeants, and the rest are sergeants.

Xuanhu Cavalry: 21 sharps, 55 sergeants, and the rest are sergeants.

Escort cavalry: 20 sharps, 45 sergeants, and the rest sergeants.

Sentry posts: 23 sergeants, 85 sergeants, and the rest sergeants.

The superintendent of the army then began to paint and engrave plaques for sergeants, sergeants, and sharp soldiers.

The soldiers wearing newly engraved and lacquered helmets and waist badges were radiant, and everyone had a look of joy and pride on their faces.

Li Xiao's words rang in everyone's ears.

“。。。。。。 You are the pride of our army, the pillars of our army, I hope you will go further, continue to train hard, and strive to strengthen your skills, this officer hopes that in next year's examination, there will be more soldiers, who can obtain military rank and promotion, and win more and greater glory for themselves and our army! ”

After Li Xiao's speech ended, a warm cheer rang out.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Kill the Tartars, make a meritorious name!"

"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven!"

。。。。。。

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was so high and the mood of the group was excited, Li Xiao's heart was full of joy.

A month after the military rank assessment was implemented, Li Xiao ordered that the Iron Dragon Battalion and the Golden Wolf Battalion should also implement such a military rank system, so that this system would become the unique military system and culture of the Tiger Army.

After the order was issued, Li Xiao happily thought that this step of the military rank restructuring could be regarded as a successful implementation, and perhaps he could start to set up medals for the troops like the modern army.

Li Xiao remembered that the medal seemed to have been invented by Napoleon to motivate his subordinates to fight bravely.

At that time, some people laughed at him, saying that it was a toy to coax adults, but Napoleon said seriously: "It is true, but in fact, each of us is controlled by toys in life." ”

In modern society, military merit medals have become the best way to display and commemorate the glory and legend of a soldier.

Li Xiao was determined to integrate the medal system into his own army and make it a unique part of his military culture.

Let the medal become the eternal glory and pride of every soldier with major military achievements.

Li Xiao personally designed three kinds of medals and divided them into three grades according to the grade of military merit.

The first class is the Order of the Dragon, made of gold, and the obverse of the medal is a golden dragon soaring through the air and roaring with its mouth open.

The second class is the Order of the Roar of the Tiger, made of sterling silver, with a front depiction of a colorful tiger roaring with teeth and claws.

The third class is the Eagle's Strike Medal, carved from stainless steel, with the image of an eagle with huge wings spread and claws outstretched.

The three medals are designed as small rectangles with rounded corners, slightly smaller than waist tags, and have a buckle next to it that can be fastened to the belt.

Originally, Li Xiao wanted to design it with a pin on his chest like modern times, but now the sergeants are wearing armor and cannot wear it.

Because, Li Xiao is designed to be a model that can be hung on the belt. These three medals of different materials and patterns represent the size and difficulty of military feats.

The most difficult to obtain is the Order of the Dragon's Voice, which can only be awarded unless it is extremely important to destroy the enemy army and capture or kill the opponent's commander.

The second is the Order of the Tiger Roar, which can only be obtained by making great contributions, such as killing the enemy's generals, or killing a large number of enemies individually, which can turn the tide of the battle, or obtaining great merit and battle gains at a very small cost.

Next is the Eagle Strike Medal, which is awarded to generals or sergeants who are brave in battle, kill the enemy, and have made outstanding contributions on the battlefield.

Li Xiao did not intend to turn the medal into a model that everyone could get, which would greatly devalue the medal.

No matter what is precious, once it is overflowing, its value will shrink rapidly.

This well-designed medal can only be awarded to a few people who have made outstanding contributions to truly reflect the dignity and glory of the medal.

Li Xiao specially found a group of craftsmen who had worked as carvers, and asked them to use the gold, silver and steel in the warehouse to make medals respectively.

At the same time, Li Xiao set a number and asked the craftsmen to make a certain number of medals according to the difficulty of obtaining the medals.

Subsequently, Li Xiao convened an all-army meeting and told the officers and men of the whole army that from now on, in addition to routine rewards, medals will also be awarded in each battle, and medals of different grades will be awarded according to the merits of the generals and soldiers.

There are strict regulations on the examination of military merits.

First of all, the generals and the pacification team jointly approved, and then Li Xiao sent someone to verify, and finally after Li Xiao's approval, the medal could be awarded.

In order to enhance the attraction of the soldiers and make them more brave in the battle to kill the enemy and fight hard, Li Xiao decided that the medal should not only represent glory, but also be linked to material treatment.

The Dragon Yin Medal, a one-time reward of 500 taels of silver, in addition to the battalion commander, deputy battalion commander and above officers, the deputy battalion commander and below the military officials do not bow down the power, the whole family is exempt from taxes, in addition to the new overseas territory of the Tiger Army, 200 acres of land.

The Order of the Tiger Roar, a one-time reward of 300 taels of silver, has seen the right not to bow down to the officers below the deputy chief except for the deputy chief and the deputy chief and above, the whole family is exempt from taxes, and if the enemy's land is obtained, in addition, in addition to the new overseas territory of the Tiger Army, a hundred acres of land.

The Eagle Strike Medal is a one-time reward of 50 taels of silver, and there is the right not to bow down to any military officials below the deputy commander except for the chief of the sentry and the deputy chief of the sentry and above, and the whole family is exempt from paying taxes, and in addition to the newly expanded overseas territory of the LTTE, 50 acres of land can be rewarded.

Li Xiao also stipulated that these rewarded lands were the private property of the soldiers who had received the medals, and could be enjoyed by their children and grandchildren from generation to generation.

If a soldier who has been awarded the medal is unwilling to acquire overseas land for various reasons, or is unwilling to continue farming in the future, he can also return it to the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, and the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will give the land back at the same price.

Unlike the land granted to displaced people, there is only the right to use it for farming, and there is no right to resell or lease it.

Li Xiao's medal system has brought new hope and motivation to the soldiers below.

Especially those soldiers who were only rated as corporals in this assessment, they were even more suffocated in their hearts, and they desperately wanted to get medals from the battle to reflect their own ability and value, so that they could also get glory and enjoy material treatment.

After all, honor, silver, privileges, exemptions, fields, these are all good things that people yearn for infinitely.

Of course, the medal system is not yet perfect for Li Xiaojun, and Li Xiao plans to further improve the medal system in the future, so that this system will become another major incentive point for Li Xiaojun's soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that we have this medal system, we will put your fame in front of you, and this official welcomes you to take it according to your ability."

This is the common encouragement that Li Xiao left to all the soldiers.

Next, Li Xiao began to put forward a new requirement for the whole army.

That's cultural learning.

Li Xiao demanded that the Tiger Army, from top to bottom, thoroughly understand the newly issued regulations on the army management system that Li Xiao had bound into a book.

"An army without culture is an army of foolishness. This officer demanded that all our officers and men should study and study literature, and they should never be proud of being illiterate and pretend to be a big boss. In the future, cultural study should become the norm in our army and be linked to everyone's assessment and evaluation. ”

Li Xiao's words are categorical and unquestionable.

Li Xiao stipulates that starting tomorrow, after the end of each day's training, teachers will be arranged to conduct cultural teaching for more than an hour, starting with literacy, and finally reaching the level of familiarity with the regulations of the military and having basic reading and writing skills.

Li Xiao stressed: After three months, if it is not possible to memorize this simple book of military management system and regulations, each soldier will be given 10 strokes of a military stick and his monthly salary will be deducted. Officers starting with the first commander were each given 20 strokes of a stick, and the same monthly salary for the month was deducted, and the whole army was circulated for criticism.

Of course, if there is a punishment, there will be a reward, and Li Xiao reiterated to the officers and men of the whole army that if there is a good job in humanities and chemistry, there will be corresponding rewards, and promotion and evaluation will also be given priority.

After Li Xiao's order was issued, it was like a boulder, smashed into the Pinghu Lake, splashing rolling waves.

The vast majority of Li Xiaojun's soldiers, including many generals, were completely illiterate Qiu Ba and the old man, and now Li Xiao forced them to learn from the military supervisors and civil officials, which was really difficult for them.

Tian Wei, the commander of the Chifeng Battalion, Monk An of the Tielong Battalion, and others, after receiving the order, all had sad faces, scratching their ears and cheeks.

They muttered in their hearts, this Lord Li, what's the matter now, to force an illiterate soldier like them to learn culture, it's like chasing ducks to the shelves.

Both of them felt that as long as they could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, there was no need to learn any culture at all. If you have this leisure, you might as well go hunting.

Military attachés at the end of the Ming Dynasty, proud of being rude and brave and not learning no skills, how many general soldiers and generals, only know to take their families to rush into battle, not to mention literacy, that is, even the soldiers' books and other things that should be learned in their own positions, and they have never seen it at all, like Qi Jiguang behind the Jizhen general soldiers, most of them are like this, illiterate and coarse, only know how to lead more than 1,000 families to fight in battle, but if they want to command tens of thousands of troops and plan war strategies, these guys can only stare dryly, it can be seen that the quality of these generals in the late Ming Dynasty has dropped to what extent. These people are not as good as one of Qi Jiguang's toes.

Tian Wei and Monk An really couldn't bear it, and then followed those prison officials to learn culture, both of them felt that the thin brush was heavier than a thousand sticks, and it was extremely difficult to carry it in their hands.

So, the two battalion commanders who Li Xiao trusted the most came to Li Xiao to complain together.

When they entered Li Xiao's room, before the two of them could speak, Li Xiao's sharp and stern gaze swept over coldly, and neither of them dared to say anything.

"Tell me, why don't you want to learn how to write?"

Li Xiao asked calmly. Monk An scratched his head vigorously, plucked up his courage and said: "We are waiting to kill the soldiers, just command the army to fight, learn from these Lao Shizi to do much, every time the merit is reviewed, there are also supervisors and civil officials to do the work, I really can't think of what is the use of Lord Li asking us to learn culture." ”

When Li Xiao heard this, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "You two are now battalion commanders, both are general commanders, and you are still reckless men who can only lead the troops to kill, which really disappoints this officer!" Monk An, Ben Bo would like to ask you, in your Tielong camp, how much grain and grass you eat every day, how much grain and grass you use for horses, how much money you use for military weapons, etc., do you know it all completely, can you only rely on your master to manage it? If the master you used deceived you, how could you distinguish the real from the fake? ”

Li Xiao paused, and then said: "Even if these things are done by the civil officials of the Supervision and Pacification Division, you Monk An will lead the troops to fight in the future, how many soldiers and horses will be used for each expedition, how much time will be used, how to check the military map, how to calculate the grain and forage required by the whole army, these extremely important things, as a general in charge of the army, can you really neither learn nor care?" Of course, in the past, there was Ben Bo who told you to do things, and you can still wait for Ben Bo to do things forever, can you only wait forever for Ben Bo to make you do things? In the future, if you want to lead the army alone, will you have to be blind and let it go? ”

Li Xiao sighed lightly, looked at the red-faced Monk An and the nervous Tian Wei in front of him, and said earnestly: "Two, in our army in the future, the promotion of generals is also linked to culture, I hope that in my Tiger Army, officers must not only know how to fight, but also become new-style generals who understand culture and strategy, so as to fight more and bigger battles for our army." Benbo hopes even more that you, the two battalion commanders, can take the lead, set an example, and become an outstanding example for the officers and men of the whole army, understand?! ”

"Got it!"

The two battalion commanders shouted in unison.
