"Look to the bowl! Look forward! Turn to chopsticks! No, do it again! Listen up: if I had said the word 'fake' earlier. So if I say to the bowl, you actually have to turn a quarter of a circle in the direction of the hand holding the chopsticks, and if I say the word 'true' first, then to the bowl is to turn in the direction of the hand holding the bowl, and to the chopsticks is to align with the direction of the hand holding the chopsticks. Then you also have to keep in mind that the bowl means left, and the chopsticks mean right. If you don't do anything else today, let's go around in circles and learn to keep up with the horizontal and vertical! Learn basic discernment. ”

Before Xiao Xuan crossed over, he had heard that it would take a long time for the British to train the colonial army to distinguish the old army from the left and right, but in his heart, he thought it was a problem of language and training methods. When I recalled that when I was in the upper grade of primary school, a physical education teacher who was discharged from the army used this set of true and false methods to slowly turn left and right quickly, but recalling, even if the progress is a few days worse, it should be eight or nine without leaving ten, if the training time is longer, it may not be impossible to see the effect in a shorter time?

However, the first thing Xiao Xuan felt was that the number of people in a class in the school was not at all the same as the number of people in a class of about five hundred, and if he let these people leave a walking passage that he could correct at any time, there would be many marginal people in the open area who could not hear his own password. In the end, it took a lot of time to select the four teenagers who were the most sober in terms of password response, as the "sports committee"-like characters, responsible for holding the password according to their own requirements, holding sticks, and correcting mistakes again and again. When I felt that the pace was really slow, I had to delegate some of the actual combat sticks.

But even so, because at the beginning of the difficult password training, there were many people who made mistakes, and even collective mistakes. Xiao Xuan had no choice but to think of a way: after every password, he ordered those who felt that they were doing the right thing 100% to stand up boldly and directly correct others with their fists and feet. In this way, although there have been "mistakes," in comparison, nine out of ten of those who have a great grasp of the facts are juveniles who are correct, and the problem of manpower shortage has been alleviated to some extent. Especially after personally punishing several teenagers.

In this way, on the first day of formal training, although the Imperial Horse Warden sent a lot of ordnance to the excitement of the teenagers. But no one was given the opportunity to operate a gun or play with firearms and ordnance. Instead, under the direct sunlight, from the beginning of the hour to the end of the hour of the hour, that is, from about 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., a full ten hours of time were all used for basic training of passwords and queues.

Although there are still people who often make mistakes when conducting difficult password training that is true and false, and they can't walk in unison without taking many steps at all, they have at least learned to turn left, right, backward and even front and back. At the same time, according to the rows and columns, as well as the performance of the teenagers, ten "vanguards" were selected in each row as the captain of the team. Among the 500 people, 50 leaders of the 10-person squad were also selected as the most basic grassroots "non-commissioned officers". In this way, hundreds of people finally broke away from the basic definition of "rabble".

This kind of training is not only not understood by many of the teenagers, but also by some people in the Imperial Horse Prison, and they can't help but discount Xiao Xuan's "high opinion" before.

"What are these names? Let these teenagers walk in the queue and stand in formation, and they can become a battleworthy army? An officer serving in the four guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Long Xiang said with a smile.

Although Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, was well-informed, he also felt that although the so-called "queue" was a project in the army, it was obviously not as meaningful as battlefield flag and command training, and it was just a formal flower. If the recruits are not trained in basic flag and drum recognition, it means that the "expert" performance of the new emperor before is just something that the strategists who don't know about the disease take for granted.

After a whole day of queue training, the teenagers, who already had some sense of discipline and knew how to eat without saying a word, had to complain uncontrollably after the on-duty cooking class that was improvised and cooked on the fire in advance delivered the meals to the canteen tent.

"I heard that both the Jiannu outside the pass and the bandits in the countryside use bows and arrows to fight. Some of them can open a strong bow of 100 catties. I don't know what the head thinks, what's the use of just practicing and walking in line? ”

"yes, what's the use of turning left to right, aligning front and back? When it comes to the battlefield, it's not a mess of mush! ”

"That's it, the people in our village are fighting, and I've never heard of what formation to be arranged, just follow it. Where is the effort to look left and right... ”

At first, there were only a few people talking, but it didn't take long for the whining voices to form a familiar buzz.

Xiao Xuan, who was outside the tent, also did not eat and water during the whole day for the strict queue training, and at this time, he temporarily made up some dry food and white water outside the account, and did not enter the account to maintain discipline for the time being.

In fact, Xiao Xuan was also somewhat hesitant at this time. Cohort training used to exist in overhead fiction a few years ago, and it was a big killer in overhead fiction. But there are also many people who feel that it is not very useful, and the routines of ordinary military training cannot simply turn ordinary people into soldiers who can fight. Therefore, at this time, Xiao Xuan was also trying to recall and think about everything he had heard and known before the crossing, and thought hard. Fortunately, although Xiao Xuan, who loves historical and military novels, has not read several professional military books, he is not a layman who has no accumulation at all.

The first thing that made Xiao Xuan's train of thought a little clue was the memory of the history of the world war. Unlike China, the European countries of the two world wars are often wars in which most of the soldiers of appropriate age participate in the war in an all-round way, and the training cycle of those mobilized soldiers is often not high, but even if the combat efficiency of the same firepower of the Anti-Japanese War is several times to ten times, and the combat efficiency of the same firepower of the Japanese army in World War II is tens to nearly 100 times, it seems that the Italian army in World War I, which does not have much nationalist soul, can also bear at least about 10% of casualties in the battle? From this point of view, it is not certain that a strong army will be born simply by emulating everything in the modern army, but it is possible to reach the standard of the mediocre Ming army in the late Ming Dynasty and the Ming army, which is far from the level of the two Song Dynasty armies and is almost like a layman. The Beiyang Army is also a "pseudo-modern army" that does not have much nationalist spirit, but even if it is converted into a large amount of water and militarized, it can still play the minimum standard of casualties in some conflicts?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan's heart at least had the bottom. As for the rhetoric and reasons for the persuasion of the teenagers, it seems that it is not difficult to find. A strong army is not something that can be achieved in a day, and it is not a rabble that flees for the brave, but it is the first step that should be done. So, I learned from the demeanor of the director of the Academic Affairs Office when I was a student and swaggered to buy the canteen account.
