Chapter 651: Rebuilding Faith
It is unrealistic to reverse such a situation and simply do the ideological work of each and every one of them.
First, because there are too many people, even if Yang Huairen summons a thousand people to lecture each time, no matter how sensational he is, no matter how he can fool, he will say the same words nearly twenty times with emotion, and his tongue is estimated to be useless.
Yang Huairen was a little nostalgic for the big speakers hanging on telephone poles in the countryside or on the streets, and when he spoke into the microphone, the whole village and the whole street could hear it clearly.
However, he still misunderstood the meaning of Yang Shihu's sentence "time is not waiting for me".
Outsiders, including the common people and the forbidden army, began to call the soldiers of Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei the Valley Army, joking that the valley behind the Yang family Zhuangzi was a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
These words must have sounded like compliments and compliments, but when they are put in front of them, they seem to have a bit of a taste of banter and ridicule.
The dragon should be the dragon for nine days, and the tiger should be roaring in the mountains and forests, but if you can hide and lie down, then it is not a mighty dragon and tiger, but a worm.
The two commanders of the Valley Army, Yang Huairen and Yang Shihu, had different views on such jokes, Yang Huairen was a little angry, but he didn't know how to vent it, and Yang Shihu was thinking about how to change outsiders' views of the Valley Army.
The image of the forbidden army was not very tall in the hearts of outsiders, and these armies that seemed to have been abandoned by the forbidden army were even more waste among wastes.
Although the original border army officers and soldiers were considered to be elite divisions, 2,000 people could influence nearly 20,000 people, and in such a short period of time, it could not have any obvious effect.
After the Battle of Huanzhou, Yang Shihu also accumulated some prestige, and the official family also met him in person, promoted him, and arranged for him to enter the forbidden army, the purpose of which was to let him use it to lead the border army and bring out a group of elite forbidden troops.
This idea is also very good, but to implement it, it must take a long process, there is a saying that the mountain is difficult to change, and this is the truth.
Those soldiers of the forbidden army have been soldiers for so many years, and their foundation was not good at the beginning, and they have already worn off their original vigor in the comfortable years, and now they want them to accept a new way of life, how easy is it to say?
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Yang Shihu is still so anxious that he is still haggard.
Yang Huairen said a few words of comfort, and Yang Shihu shook his head vigorously, "Brother Yang doesn't know, things are not so simple.
Leading the army is actually similar to taking children. Your child will follow you from an early age and slowly adapt to your training style and lifestyle as they grow up, and that's no problem.
If you change a group of children who have grown to half the age to bring you, and you still use the original way, the effect will be half the effort, and it will have the opposite effect if it is not good.
So I also want to give these soldiers of the forbidden army a period of time to get used to, but the time is really not enough. ”
"Why?"
"Brother Yang, what do these people lack the most now?"
Yang Huairen thought about it and felt that these people lacked everything, lacked formal military training, and lacked the basic qualities of a professional soldier, but these can be gradually realized through training and education.
And what they lacked most at the moment should be faith, so he replied, "Faith." ”
Yang Shihu nodded, "Compared with physical discomfort, perhaps what they are more uncomfortable with is the psychological change." In the past few days, the living facilities of the station have been almost in order, and it was originally possible to carry out training.
But every time I walked around the barracks, what I saw was that these soldiers of the forbidden army were demoralized and depressed.
I also want to tell them that as long as they follow my way of training and honing their willpower, it won't be long before they can become a tiger and wolf army like the soldiers of our original border army in Tongyuan.
But it's easy for them to come out of my mouth, to get them to remember it, to believe it, and then to build up their faith.
It turns out that the soldiers of the border army may be able to lead some people through their posture, but this effect does not seem to be so obvious at the moment.
The two groups of people came from different armies, and because of the completely different ways of life and ways of doing things in the past, coupled with some strangeness and mutual distrust, it became an unbridgeable rift between the two groups.
No one treats each other as their own, and it's a bit distracted. Everyone is living in the same military camp like this, and everyone feels awkward, unless they first improve these problems, there is no way to talk about the training of the forbidden army. ”
Yang Huairen was also a little worried, but he suddenly remembered something and asked eagerly, "What General Yang said just now is not waiting for me, do you want to participate in the golden autumn battlefield soldiers?" ”
There is a poem that says "autumn soldiers on the battlefield", describing the scene of hot-blooded men preparing to go to the battlefield, in fact, in all dynasties, the emperor also carried out a ceremony similar to the military parade of later generations when he ascended the throne or when something big happened, that is, the battlefield soldiers.
However, the soldiers on the battlefield are not like the later generations to show military posture and weapons, but like an exam, the emperor sat on the high platform of the school field and watched the soldiers of the forbidden army under his command perform the army.
In this way, they can show their people and neighboring countries the majesty of their team, and also test their military skills.
Since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, the court has been busy fighting, and there have been no wars in recent years, so when Zhao Xu was in power, no similar ceremony was held.
Now that Zhao Xu is in power, and after the Tongyuan army defeated the Western Xia army in Huanzhou a year later, Zhao Xu felt the need to hold a grand ceremony to promote him as a great emperor.
Therefore, a few days ago, the Privy Council conveyed to all the guards and battalions of the forbidden army that the official family would hold a battlefield to point troops, and all the forbidden troops would participate at that time, including the soldiers of Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei.
Yang Shihu's eyes suddenly had a little light, and he nodded to indicate that you finally understood my thoughts.
Yang Huairen felt that Yang Shihu's idea was still good, and in those days, if he could bring out a completely different forbidden army to show Zhao Xu, he might be able to change Zhao Xu's negative opinion of these forbidden soldiers who had made mistakes.
At the same time, if this plan can be successful, it will also be of great help to the 20,000 soldiers of the forbidden army to rebuild their confidence, and perhaps after this incident, their military quality and ideological consciousness will undergo earth-shaking changes at the same time.
It's just that it's July now, and by the middle of September as Zhao Xu's appointed troops, there are only two months left at most, but the training has not yet been carried out, so it's no wonder that Yang Shihu has been sighing that time is not waiting.
Yang Huairen also became a little anxious, and after thinking about it, very people do extraordinary things, and just two months of time, from another point of view, may be enough.
