Under the order of the management office of Liangshan Manor, the battalions of the escort team immediately launched a training activity in full swing. The 11th and 12th cavalry battalions were all new commanders and had not undergone intensive training in the training battalions, so Ma Qiang and Lei Heng personally led the troops into the battalion to provide guidance.

The training strictly implements the requirements of loyalty, Xiao Jiasui takes the lead, Xiao Rang and Wu Yong assist, and the three of them focus on the ideological education of the whole team. According to the original idea of these three people, the core of this ideological education was to highlight the absolute loyalty to Gu Haotian, but Gu Haotian himself vetoed it. Later, Xiao Jiasui and the three of them revised the plan, with the main purpose of loving the country, the people and the family, and taking military regulations and military discipline as the entry point, but the educational materials they organized all implied Gu Haotian's deeds.

For example, in terms of patriotism, they took out Gu Haotian's Three Kingdoms Theory, supplemented by the deeds of sabotaging the alliance between Jin and Zhou, as well as the song "Man Jianghong". Xu Guanzhong even sorted out the night talk on the canal that day, and wrote Gu Haotian's deep love for the Central Plains with great emotion, and many people in the upper echelons of the manor who did not know about it were also moved after reading it.

In terms of loving the people, they focused on the education of the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention," supplemented by some touching examples extracted from Jianghuai's efforts to help the victims of disasters and Hebei's practice of taking in displaced people, so as to establish Gu Haotian's image of being close to the people.

The members of the Liangshan Escort Team are mainly from Jianghuai, Hebei, and Gyeonggi, and many of them have personally experienced disaster victims, displaced people, and refugees, so these educational materials can be said to be tailor-made for them.

As for the educational force, Liangshan Manor can be fully dispatched, and the education department is the main force, and all those who know and write in the manor must participate, Gu Haotian personally took the lead, Wen Huanzhang, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jiucheng, Hu Cheng, Zhang Suo, Kong Xuan, Jin Dajian, etc., all those who know and write must go into battle. For a time, various forms and levels of learning activities were carried out everywhere.

Even the chorus detachment of the pro-guard battalion, which had been silent for a while, became hot again, and many old battalion commanders suddenly thought of the trick of the pro-guard battalion when they faced the problem of many recruits reciting military discipline, and rushed to Bian Xiang for help. But that group of members had now dispersed into the battalions, and they went there to find people at once. Bian Xiang wanted to refuse, but Gu Haotian felt that this way was very good, so he motioned for him to go to Master Li and Pan Jinlian for help. With the help of Master Li, a master singer, the choir of the guard battalion soon became famous in the whole army, and quickly led to a craze for learning songs in the manor.

This incident brought an inspiration to Gu Haotian, he thought of the art troupe of the army in later generations, and the art troupe was an integral part of the combat effectiveness of the army in that era! Master Li has been doing nothing since she arrived in Liangshan, but she has wasted her talent, and if she is allowed to take the lead in this aspect, she will definitely be caught. As for the fact that she is a woman, he didn't think about it at all, and now he is thinking about encouraging more women to come out and do things. Gu Haotian thought about it, and then he would mention it privately to Master Li to see if she was willing.

In the evening of that day, just after the afternoon training of the battalions, Guan Sheng went for a walk on the hillside behind the barracks. As the newly appointed battalion commander, he felt deep pressure after a few days of training, although the management office allocated a large number of veterans and grassroots backbones to the battalion, but compared with those old battalion leaders, he felt that there were still some gaps, one is that the gap in basic skills is particularly obvious. At this point, Lei Heng, the deputy battalion commander who came to the training camp to take charge in person, once said that it is normal for many recruits in the battalion to have some gaps without two months of training in the training camp, and as long as they have intensive training for one month, they should be able to catch up. Guan Sheng also believes in this, he is more worried about another now, there are many officers and soldiers in his battalion who have surrendered, these people have been in the army of the Zhou Dynasty for a long time, and some bad habits are difficult to eradicate, which makes him have a headache.

For example, something happened in the middle of the day that embarrassed him. In the morning, the petty officials came to his camp to squat, and the Chinese food was eaten in the camp. The rules of the escort team's meal are the same as that of the officers and soldiers, no one opened a small stove, at that time, the petty officials and everyone were queuing up to receive the meal, who knew that a veteran under the battalion actually took care of himself and inserted himself in front of him, although the little official didn't say anything, but he obviously felt that Bian Xiang winked at him mischievously, and he wanted to pull the kid out and trample it to death.

Where does loyalty come from? One of the most important sources is military discipline, if a soldier can't even keep discipline, even himself, then how can he be believed to be loyal to others. Guan Sheng remembered once again at this moment what Wen Huanzhang said in class in the camp last night, and he once again had a deeper understanding.

"What is Camp Commander Guan thinking?"

Just as Guan Sheng was deep in thought, someone suddenly heard him calling. He looked up and found that it was Suo Chao, the commander of the 11th Cavalry Battalion who was with him.

"How can Camp Commander Suo have time to be lazy here." Guan Sheng asked jokingly.

"Then dare to be lazy, isn't this hard work here!" Suo Chao raised the booklet in his hand and said with a wry smile.

Guan Sheng looked at it as if it was the same thing as his side, he smiled and took out his own, waved it, and said:

"I don't dare to be lazy! Don't you see this with you, too! ”

"Battalion Commander Guan, it's strange that you said this, when I was waiting in the officer and soldier camp, there were dozens or hundreds of military laws, and there were many people who killed their heads with sticks at every turn, but it seemed that no one had the heart to learn, but this Liangshan military discipline only used one trick to confine, and taught these guys to be obedient, and there were many thorns in the camp, and after being locked up twice, they were actually obedient a lot, and now they are reciting the "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions"! I was so curious that I wanted to try the smell of confinement. ”

Suo Chao saw that Guan Sheng was a new battalion commander like himself, so he said curiously.

"Battalion Commander Suo's confinement may be a very frightening experience, but in my opinion, the "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" itself is more magical, I have read this discipline many times, but every time I have a deep feeling, you see it is only a short hundred words, but it covers almost the entire content of the military discipline of the officers and soldiers. What's even more rare is that it is easy to understand, simple and easy to remember, even illiterate soldiers, after learning it several times, it can be catchy. I have to admire, the petty officials in our manor do have great wisdom! ”

When Guan Sheng was in the camp that day, Tang Bin once gave a booklet of Liangshan military discipline, and after listening to Wen Huanzhang's words that day, he came back and took out the booklet to ponder.

Suo Chao was stunned for a moment, but later said sincerely: "It's superficial below, but Camp Commander Guan's insight is even deeper!" ”

Let's say that the two new battalion commanders were discussing, but they saw a member of the team hurriedly running over to report that several members of the 11th battalion were watching a football game on the playground.

"Alas! It's really not worry-free, Battalion Commander Suo, I'll go and see it first, I'm out of company. ”

Guan Sheng sighed and hurried away, but Suo Chao was also worried that his subordinates would cause trouble, so he went with him.

Football has always been a popular sport for the Guardian Corps since ancient times, and each battalion has always had its own football team, even if it is a newly established battalion, because there are a large number of veterans to join, so it is not difficult to set up a team. This time, the whole army gathered in various battalions for training, and the competition became frequent and intense. And according to the practice of the Liangshan Guard, this battalion and battalion are usually brothers and comrades-in-arms, but every time they compete, they are their own masters, but there is an unwritten rule that cheering and boosing are allowed, but they can't insult and fight, otherwise the black room will wait, so all veterans, even if they shout blood in their throats, never dare to touch this bottom line.

Today's game was a game between the newly established 11th and 12th Cavalry Battalions, and several recruits who were watching the game did not understand the rules.

Gu Haotian wandered around the training ground as long as he was okay in the past two days, and he happened to meet him, but he was strange, what kind of person dared to be so bold and took the initiative to apply for confinement. I couldn't help but walk over curiously, and when I asked, I realized that they were two recruits from the newly established cavalry battalion, and it was no wonder to think about it, but when I saw that the commanders of the two battalions were not there, I took the initiative to show up to mediate.

Let's say that Guan Sheng and Suo Chao hurried to the scene, Fang knew that it was his two men who were fighting, and couldn't help but be annoyed, and they were about to go in to reprimand them, but they heard the voice of Gu Haotian talking inside, the two glanced at each other, and quietly stood behind them.

“…… The football game is like a confrontation between the two armies, and all of you are right, which also shows that these days have been very effective in learning from many sides, at least you have learned how to love your team and cherish the honor of the collective, but your methods are wrong. The battalions of our escort are not friends and foes but brothers, and even if they are members of the team, they may be transferred to that battalion tomorrow, and if they insult their elders and hurt their bodies in the past disputes, how will they face it next time? Therefore, the focus of this study and education is love, but this love is not just about loving one's own family or one of our own camps. He is talking about great love, to love our relatives and friends, to love our neighbors, to love all comrades-in-arms, to love all the good people in the world, so that our minds will become wider and wider, and our future road will go farther and wider. ”

Gu Haotian took the opportunity to educate those people and said something in simple terms to the players who surrounded the stadium, only to see that the audience was silent, and the few who fought were even more ashamed to death.

"Do you now understand your mistakes?"

Gu Haotian waited for them to have almost digested it, and asked loudly.

"We know that we are wrong, please punish the petty officials!" The men replied in unison.

"Very good, you can change your mistakes, you can be good, you will go to the Judge Advocate General's Court to admit punishment by yourself."

After Gu Haotian confessed, he said sternly:

"What I want to ask today is, is the fault of these recruits only their fault? Their squad leaders and captains are among them, and they are all out of the ranks! ”

With Gu Haotian's order, four or five people walked out of the crowd in a moment.

"I know what you think, it's nothing more than to see the jokes of these recruits, and want them to taste the taste of confinement, but you are brothers, veterans, and bosses, you must know that prestige is accumulated little by little in ordinary times, and when they make mistakes at this time, if you don't correct them and don't care for them, then you expect that when you go to war in the future, they will listen to you and bleed desperately for you......"

"Little official, don't say it, I know it's wrong, those brothers don't understand the rules and spare it for the time being, this confinement is all for me to sit on."

At this time, one of the captains present felt deeply guilty and shouted loudly, and the remaining squad leaders also responded.

"Punishment is not the goal, understanding is the best. Each person's disposition has its own conclusion, so go for yourself! ”

Gu Haotian saw that the purpose of education had been achieved, so he let them go.

I saw the captain walk up to the recruits and said, "A few brothers, it's all my brother's today, after the confinement is over, the brother of Liangshan Restaurant will treat you to compensate for a few people." ”

Then those who were still tense just now went to the military justice department with their shoulders hooked, and it didn't look like they were going to receive a punishment, but to receive a reward.

Guan Sheng and Suo Chao were behind the crowd, watching the ten-year-old little official handle the conflict so skillfully, they couldn't help but glance at each other again, and the eyes of the two invariably flowed out of the two words "admiration", and then turned around and went quietly.
