Chapter VII Military Training
In the afternoon, the first training session began. When the three captains gave the order to line up, many of them had not yet recovered from the sumptuous lunch, and many of them actually rarely smelled meat several times a year. Then they found that this training was too simple, the three platoons of teams stood like wooden figures like the first captain Bian Xiang, and the three captains each stood in front of their own squad. Gu Haotian announced on the stage that the training had officially begun.
"Brothers, from now on, the performance of each of you at every moment will affect the personal assessment in five days, and of course, the food standard of the entire squad. The point is that it will affect the collective honor of your team, and of course I can't help you if you want to be a turtle grandson. ”
After saying a few words, Gu Haotian then instructed Du Qian to light incense time, and for the first time stood to train half a pillar of incense. Then he also stood on the stage in a military posture.
Raise your head, raise your chest, tuck your abdomen, clamp your legs, put your five fingers together, align your middle fingers with the seam of your trousers, and spread your feet in a figure of eight...... But it didn't take long for many people to be a little unable to hold on, their waists and legs were sore, and their calves trembled, but looking at the captain staring in front of them and the little officials on the stage who were not moving at all, they had to persevere. But the second half of the journey is tormenting for many people, they never imagined that such a simple standing is so torturous, and gradually some people's movements are a little deformed, but the captains of each squad are really sharp-eyed, and the slightest change is a loud shout. In this way, it was easy to survive to the end, and finally no one fell.
Gu Haotian was satisfied with this result, he thought that after all, he was a child of a peasant family, and if it was a student in the future, he would have fallen a long time ago. Then he announced a half-quarter of an hour of rest before continuing. The whole afternoon is a standing stance, repeated until the middle of the Shen Shizhong.
After dinner, Gu Haotian called the three captains to his room, and he asked the three captains what problems they had found through the half-day training, and whether they had thought of a solution. Bian Xiang and the three of them opened their mouths, but they couldn't say anything wrong with their stomachs. Gu Haotian smiled in his heart, in fact, he didn't expect these three people to say anything, his purpose was mainly to cultivate a habit to improve the cohesion of the team. He used a well-known analogy from later generations, when he asked, "Is there strength in a fist with five fingers or is it strong when it spreads," and he paused, "A squad is like a fist with a fist, and when it is scattered, it is a plate of loose sand." The three of them thought thoughtfully.
So how can they condense into a rope, Gu Haotian gave them three suggestions, one is to open a "Zhuge Liang meeting", find shortcomings, find ways, and improve confidence; The second is to do ideological work, focusing on helping backward team members to relieve their worries and improve team cohesion. The third is that you have to have your own solution to the problem, which is the most important point, if you don't want to be a servant forever.
The night of early spring soon darkened, and after Bian Xiang and the others came back from Gu Haotian's room, they were all thinking about the words of the little official. Ma Xun went out first, and Ma Qiang and Bian Xiang also went out. Du Qian sat alone in the room, he heard all the words of the little official just now, and he also saw the performance in the training ground in the afternoon half a day, what was in the mind of this eleven-year-old little official, he was looking forward to it more and more.
Outside the window of the third team, Gu Haotian stood quietly for a while, and Ma Xuan, who was only listening, said to a team member: "There are a few ......things wrong with your standing posture today, but my temper is too impatient, so I shouldn't shout at you." "He also said that he would get up early tomorrow morning to run, and everyone had to master a few decisions, and so on. Similar things were being said in the rooms of the other two teams. Gu Haotian felt a little in his heart, Bian Xiang and the three were the people he trusted the most, if they really made a difference in the future, these three people must have the ability to stand alone.
After five consecutive days of standing training, it finally had some effect, but there was also a lot of talk about what we practiced standing like a tree every day. After the training this afternoon, Gu Haotian called five servants from the house to stand in a row in front of the stage, and then called five people from each team to stand in a row accordingly, and then he asked, which of the two columns of people is more energetic, and the following suddenly laughed "coaxing", because they saw the obvious difference. Gu Haotian took the opportunity to guide, he said, "The standing posture is like a pine tree on the mountain, you look at the pine tree, the snow is so big, does it bend down?" Did the thunderbolt split it and it fell? There are none, so the standing posture is the spirit of a person. In the past three days, everyone has practiced very hard and very effectively. The first assessment will be held tomorrow, are you confident that you will get good results? ”
"Yes!" The following is a loud answer.
The assessment is coming, and the most pressure is naturally the three captains, who stay in their respective teams that night until the lights are turned off.
The next day, after the morning run and breakfast, the three teams are neatly listed in the field, the assessment rules are the most durable and neat and standard standing posture of the team within the time of a pillar of incense, the judges are composed of Gu Haotian, Du Qian, three captains and each team recommends a representative, the representative should participate in the assessment of the team can not be used as a judge, that is, the actual judges have seven people, using a ten-point system, removing the highest and lowest scores, and evaluating the total score and individual score of each team.
Through the draw, the second team played first, and Ma Qiang returned to the judges' bench after finishing the team, and as Gu Haotian started, he only felt that his heart was beating like a drum. Finally a pillar of incense time passed, and Ma Qiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, there was no big mistake. The final score was thirty-six points. The first team was the second to play, Bian Xiang was confident, he thought he was the first, but he was stupid as soon as the score came out, thirty-four points, two points less than the second team. Ma Qiang glanced at Bian Xiang, feeling so cool in his heart. Soon the three teams came on the field, Ma Xun was the youngest of the three captains, and he held his breath at the beginning, and he worked the hardest in the past few days. Seeing that the time for a pillar of incense was coming, and the overall performance of the three teams was also the best, Ma Xun was secretly happy in his heart, but at this moment, a team member named Gu Bo suddenly turned blue and fell down, and because of this accident, the three teams finally won only thirty-three and became the last place.
In terms of individual examinations, the top three teams each have one, the fourth to tenth third teams have a maximum of three, the others have two each, and the three teams ranked in the bottom 20 are about the same.
Then Gu Haotian held a grand award ceremony, his purpose was to create a sense of sacred honor for the team members. Fifty team members stood in three columns under the stage, Du Qian reported the winners one by one, Gu Haotian personally put the heavy copper coins in their hands, and the last Lei Heng to come to the stage, he was the top three members of the three teams, and his eyes smiled into a line when he took the consistent copper coins from Gu Haotian's hands.
In the afternoon, Gu Haotian gave the whole team a half-day off and asked each team to summarize the gains and losses. Bian Xiang was depressed because the boss's authority was greatly challenged; Ma Qiang is excited because he has finally become the boss; Ma Xun was very disappointed, because he could have been the boss.
The third-class meal system began to be implemented at dinner, looking at the spirit of the second team, Bian Xiang's teeth were about to be crushed, he had a tiger face, and drank to the team members angrily: "What is there to see, I have the ability to fight for it next time." As he spoke, he buried his head in the food and went to deal with the food, and there was silence in the team for a while.
Gu Haotian ordered a third-class meal, came to the table of the third team, and looked at the expressions of Ma Xun and the whole team, knowing that his mentality had not been adjusted.
"What's the matter, did you find out the problem in the middle of the afternoon?"
"Petty official, I figured it out, Gu Bo was too nervous, he didn't sleep all night last night, and he couldn't eat after running in the morning, so he collapsed at the last moment of the assessment." The horse returned.
"The little official, I'm not good, and I've burdened everyone." The man named Gu Bo said with red eyes and choked up.
"Gu Bo, you don't have to be sad, who hasn't missed a beat, the training behind is still long, just win back face." Gu Haotian saw that Gu Bo was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, but in fact, he himself was eleven years old, but he and the people around him were used to not treating him as a child.
"The ancients said that shame and courage, the results of the three teams this time are not bad, everyone sees it, Lei Heng and a few of them are not all in the top ten," Lei Heng immediately straightened his chest, full of excitement.
"The key is how to solve the problem of discovery, Gu Bo's problem, Ma Xian, did you find something wrong in so long ago as the captain?" Ma Xun was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was really negligent.
"Everyone sitting here is Gu Bo's teammates, eating and sleeping together, who of you can see that Gu Bo is wrong, or you don't care at all." Some of the team quietly lowered their heads. "Actually, I also said on the stage yesterday that a team is actually a fist, and only when it is clenched can it have strength, if this problem is not solved, then this time there will be Gu Bo, and next time, there will be Zhang Bo and Li Bo." Gu Haotian always instilled the concept of the team, and everyone at the table fell into deep thought, "The training has just begun, are you willing to eat vegetarian food every day?" Gu Haotian's voice just fell.
Ma Xun stood up, pointed to a table of people and asked, "Are you willing?" ”
"I don't want to!" For a while, the three teams swept away the decline, and the food was also in turmoil.
The first and second teams didn't know what doping the third team had taken all of a sudden, but they obviously felt the invisible pressure.
The second stage of training was the queue, and soon five days passed, and in the second assessment, the three teams won the first place as they wished, and they immediately cheered; The first team returned to the second place, which was originally a step; The second team fell to the end, and the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
After dinner that day, Gu Haotian took Bian Xiang for a walk in the training ground. The second two times made him doubt himself, in fact, Gu Haotian was also worried that Bian Xiang would not be able to pass the psychological level and would be decadent.
"Have you ever wondered why you only finished second both times?"
"Alas!" Bian Xiang is actually puzzled, he thinks that the training level is the highest, and the training methods are not inferior to the Ma brothers, but the effect is not up.
"Actually, you just lost because your heart is too high, you think you are the boss of Ma Qiang and Ma Xian, and your level is higher than them, so you don't pay much attention to them; I don't treat your teammates as brothers, and they keep their distance from you, and they don't dare to talk about some things, of course, they bury hidden dangers. You see that Ma Xun often works overtime at night to open a small stove for the backward team members, although Ma Qian is rough but can get along with the team members, in the army this is called to win the army's heart, and the military heart can be used to win the war. What about you? Gu Haotian said that he would leave by himself.
Bian Xiang stood stupidly on the training ground, and the spring cold was raging.
