Chapter 24: The Great Training

Whenever a group of recruits report for duty, the list of officers will be announced on the spot, and officers at the rank of army commander, chief officer, Du Bo, military candidate, military commander, and metropolitan commander will be appointed to ensure the effective management of the troops.

Among the two most basic officers, veterans will only account for 70 percent of the quotas, and the remaining 30 percent will be vacant first, and after the end of the training period, the recruits will be appointed as the commander and chief of the army to fill the remaining vacancies, give the recruits a proper hope, and motivate them to train hard.

In addition, Deng Yulong also deliberately set aside 6 Dubo positions. At the end of the training period, there will be a major assessment of the group and individual soldiers, and after the assessment, the person with the highest individual ability among the six branches of the military will be promoted to Dubo.

As for the vacant position, it is temporarily filled by some veteran officers of the same rank.

The 80,000 recruits recruited are not complete recruits. In the conscription system, all men who were of military service age had to take time out to participate in military training every year, especially in the Qin State, where the laws and regulations were strict, and the implementation rate of the policy was very high.

Most of the recruits had participated in the military training of the Qin Dynasty, and although the military system formulated by Deng Yulong was different from that of the Qin Dynasty, the recruits were people with military experience after all, and the training was much faster.

After the arrangement, Deng Yulong walked in various training venues and observed the training of the soldiers.

The barracks are places to live and store materials, and military training is a training ground outside the barracks.

Came to a certain training ground in the southeast of the camp, where more than 500 military Sima were training, and the military Sima was Han Xin.

This group of soldiers is currently training halberd combat skills, Deng Yulong assigned Han Xin a special branch of the military, in addition to mastering the halberd and single knife combat ability, but also must master movement warfare, surprise warfare, the soldiers assigned to Han Xin are all young people in their twenties, to build this army into 110,000 Han army elite soldiers.

"Kill... The sound of killing...", the soldiers trained under the leadership of the commander and the commander.

It is now the end of May, it is a scorching summer day, and the morale of the soldiers is strong, they are not afraid of the scorching heat, swaying the sweat of youth, and practicing the skills of killing the enemy.

Wang Dahu is one of these soldiers, he holds the halberd tightly in both hands, he is meticulous in training, he sweats like rain, but he is energetic, he does not get tired at all, and every halberd he stabs is full of murderous energy.

As the commander of this unit, Han Xin was present to supervise the training of his subordinates, and he himself had extremely rich military theories and a strong ability to put theories into practice. He is keen on fame, looking forward to making great contributions in the operation of the soldiers, he is extremely enthusiastic about his work, and his requirements for his subordinates are higher than the original Deng Yulong's requirements, he supervises the training every day, and his subordinates will be punished as long as they make the slightest mistake.

Although Deng Yulong has strict requirements for military training, he does not blindly train to the death, but must first gather morale, and soldiers with sufficient morale can only have enthusiasm after training.

Appropriate slogans and justifications play an important role in boosting morale, and there are currently two main slogans.

First, it is the soldiers' hatred for Xiang Yu, Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng. The newly recruited soldiers were originally from Qin, and in the last 10 years, the prince of Qin surrendered to Liu Bang, who made three chapters of the law in Guanzhong, and did not commit any offense against the people and the Qin royal family and officials.

But Xiang Yu is very different, before entering the Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu slaughtered 200,000 Qin troops, after entering the Guanzhong, burned and looted, killed the Qin royal family and the original officials, and burned the palace and official offices. Xiang Yu's actions pushed the people of Qin to the opposite side of himself, and created a good mass foundation for Liu Bang to pacify Guanzhong later.

Because of this, the Qin people in Guanzhong and Bashu hated Xiang Yu, and Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng, who surrendered to Xiang Yu, were regarded as "Qin traitors" by the Qin people and also became the objects of hatred.

As for the original 30,000 veterans of the Han Army, they themselves were from Kanto (east of Hangu Pass), and they were forced to Bashu by Xiang Yu, far away from their hometowns, separated from their families, and they also hated Xiang Yu extremely much.

Deng Yulong made full use of this psychology and always inspired the soldiers.

Second, it is the promotion standard promulgated by Deng Yulong, not only can you be promoted if you kill the enemy, but the remaining 30% of the captains and even chiefs are vacant, as long as the training performance is good, they have the opportunity to be promoted before they have played. The soldiers have hope, and they are more able to fully mobilize their enthusiasm.

"General!" Han Xin saw Deng Yulong coming and ran to him.

"How's it going?"

"Train strictly according to your requirements, it's going well, as long as nothing happens, you can do climbing training in July."

According to Deng Yulong's requirements, the troops under Han Xin's jurisdiction must master other skills in addition to being good at halberd and knife combat, and climbing ability is one of them.

Deng Yulong said: "As long as you do a good job, I will send you to take the lead in the first battle of the Guanzhong." ”

This is something that Han Xin is looking forward to very much, and he salutes: "General Xie! After a slight pause, he asked weakly: "General, I haven't discussed military affairs with you for a long time!" ”

Deng Yulong showed a higher military talent than him, he regarded Deng Yulong as a confidant, the last time he discussed the art of war with Deng Yulong was a month ago, he eagerly hoped to communicate with the other party more, there was no communication for a month, which made Han Xin depressed.

Deng Yulong said: "I'll arrange the time!" As long as you can get out of Guanzhong, the soldiers will send a letter to Guguan, and there will be opportunities in the future. "Now, Han Xin has been preliminarily tied to himself.

is still in Hanzhong, close to Liu Bang, Deng Yulong's words and deeds Liu Bang may know at any time, if Han Xin is often summoned in the army, a conversation is a long time, and anyone with a discerning eye will know that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, and Liu Bang will inevitably regard Han Xin as his cronies.

If Han Xin has a good performance on the battlefield, Liu Bang will definitely find an excuse to transfer Han Xin away, which is what Deng Yulong should try to avoid.

He asked again: "How has Wang Dahu been doing recently?" ”

Deng Yulong was deeply impressed by the former attendants and Wang Dahu's sincerity, and paid special attention to him.

At the mention of Wang Dahu, Han Xin showed a happy smile, he said: "Wang Dahu, this kid, is very diligent, not only in training, but also in the evening, after eating, he also found a place to practice, until the last rest time did not stop, in the past three months, he has made rapid progress, is a very good soldier." ”

Deng Yulong was also rejoicing, for such a person, as long as he was lucky, he would not die early, and there would definitely be a lot of room for improvement.

In the afternoon, Deng Yulong inspected the training of other troops, and all branches of the army and all generals trained in strict accordance with his requirements.

Deng Yulong worked hard in this time and space, for every small achievement, small progress, he will be happy for this, as a general for more than three months, the army's work has been on track, he is relieved in his heart, it is time to implement the originally planned strategy.

Nanzheng, Han Palace.

"King Han, the general is diligent in military affairs every day, and he goes to bed late every night......"

A person reported to Liu Bang on Deng Yulong's behavior in the army, and the report basically meant that Deng Yulong was very diligent every day, his training was quite set, and he was progressing smoothly, and even his usual daily life and diet were within the scope of the report. As for other special features, that is, Deng Yulong specially asked people to make a few things called "chairs", and Deng Yulong usually sat on the chair with his ass in the handsome tent where he lived.

Liu Bang listened carefully, basically recognized Deng Yulong's performance, and there was nothing to doubt, what he cared about was Deng Yulong's ability and loyalty, as for Deng Yulong's love of some novel things, he didn't bother to care about these.

Before canonizing the general, Liu Bang specially arranged for a few people to be placed in the general's halberd team, so that they could pay attention to Deng Yulong on a regular basis. Every other month, the official office under Xiao He's jurisdiction would transport food and materials to the army, and the halberd would report Deng Yulong's situation in the past month to someone who transported the supplies.
