Since the return of the team led by Xiao Xuan, the officers and soldiers who had passed the test of the battle of Qingyuan Nanyuan did not relax because of victory. Training recovery did not encounter the desired difficulties. In the past, many officers and men had the consciousness that "archery is of little use at all, and firearms are the core of combat effectiveness." However, this time, the elite archers of the main force of Jianzhou have made many people understand why in this era when firearms have begun to play an increasingly important role, elite archers are still irreplaceable. Of course, the focus of the training has also been improved from the previous "shooting accuracy" to the direction of "fighting power".

In order to meet this demand, Xiao Xuan also did not care about formulating new standards for "archer stove" and "cavalry stove". Because these two types of troops in the cold weapon era, which still play a huge role, have significantly higher training and physical requirements than firearms and artillerymen, and can only take this approach when taking care of the enthusiasm of soldiers and making rational use of limited resources as much as possible.

After the additional recruits left the squadron, further contract training soon began to get on track, but when sorting out the military intelligence report, Xiao Xuan once again found some bad clues. Perhaps it is because after a year of life in the barracks and a lot of vicious battles, the old group consciousness has emerged. From the slackness of their own requirements to the various bad styles of recruits, there is once again a rise in the army.

Although he only saw it with his own eyes through the secret report of the military intelligence system, when he only came to the playground of the training team, Xiao Xuan discovered the problem: under the cold wind of winter, many recruits who participated in the queue training after the company were red from their hands to their faces. And those "instructors" who were originally just soldiers looked very normal in terms of face and complexion.

Xiao Xuan only looked at the team for a moment, and finally felt that he would not be punished more severely in front of the recruits. Because Xiao Xuan also dared to guarantee that if the veterans and backbones lost their authority and the entire army did not have any violent oppression, would there be a phenomenon that would be more harmful to combat effectiveness. Therefore, it was chosen that in the presence of the original officers and men of the entire Guards Battalion, 21 officers and men who had committed such mistakes of varying severity as maliciously punishing recruits for no reason, extortion, not setting an example during training, and spreading erroneous remarks during small talk, among whom the proportion of officers was obviously on the high side. This includes at least four squad leaders and even a squadron leader.

Xiao Xuan first came to the squadron leader who was out of line: "I heard that the captain of the third squadron of the right guard of the former army has great ambitions, and after you have a large number of fiefs after you become famous, you will agree that the officers and soldiers within the company will marry each other and rebuild the empire in the Western Regions?" And privately there are always hints of one way or another to Shangguan and the rest of the squadron to undermine unity? Is this true? You should understand that I don't ask you that for no reason ... ”

"Holy ... Spare your life ... At this time, the squadron leader also realized the seriousness of some of his words and actions, which were definitely suspected of serious crimes, and at the same time, he hated the person who betrayed him in his heart.

Of course, Xiao Xuan also understands that things like this must not be spared: "I have now decided that the entire Third Squadron of the Right Guard of the Front Army will be completely disbanded, and the number will be cancelled. Because of this incident, no one in the entire Third Squadron came to report it openly, and even opposed this erroneous idea of small collectivism that crossed the line, and everyone in the whole squadron was expelled from the army! Expulsion from all military exploits and imprisonment for life! The officer layer headed by Shen Ming, the leader of the third squadron, was beheaded in public and imprisoned for life in the three clans... ”

What made Xiao Xuan a little relieved was that such a heavy punishment didn't seem to cause too many waves in the entire Guards ranks. At this time, Xiao Xuan also said bluntly: "Although most of you have not yet started a family, perhaps many of you have become smart and realized that they are the indispensable momentum and tools for me to control the world and realize my ideals. However, the team around me will not allow any factional behavior centered on self-interest and personal ambition. Don't think that this is still the old army, as long as you have enough seniority or have enough merit, it is irreplaceable. I don't lack anything else in China, that is, I don't lack a living person with two legs. The people who are forbidden to travel and plan to replace you are... ”

Such a heavy punishment also made the other people who were pressed to the stage feel a huge panic, and they did not know if they would face the same fate. However, Xiao Xuan's next words still eased the atmosphere a lot.

"Forming a party for personal gain in the army is a complicity in rebellion, and of course it must be severely punished. There are also some people whose behavior is not so direct and so serious. However, if it continues, it is still possible to turn the vigorous and energetic Guards into an old army that is full of qualifications and seniority. Today, you treat recruits as objects for your own profit or prestige, rather than training objects with the goal of combat effectiveness. Tomorrow, I am afraid that I will lose my past bravery and the consciousness of being a soldier because I feel that my life is too expensive. Nor will they understand what is the biggest difference between our new army and the old army. A person who asks for a bribe on the head of a recruit and affects other people's families! Expulsion from the military, life imprisonment! Others who act as authority and do not conscientiously fulfill the instructor's accusations will be transferred to the auxiliary battalion punishment team. ”

The severe punishment of one percent of the battalion and even more than one percent of the officers at one time was not long after the whole army had won a great victory, and after all, it seemed to bring some emotion to the whole army, but that was all.

After that, the Yongwei Battalion, which had reference and standards, was also severely punished by Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others, as usual, because this victory showed a lot of officers and soldiers who were arrogant. It's just that the execution is executed, and Zhou Yuji, who has been in the army for a while in other teams, still feels that although the punishment is appropriate, the timing is an obstacle to morale after all.

Xiao Xuan didn't waver in his opinion after thinking about it for a long time, even if his combat effectiveness and morale were somewhat affected, Xiao Xuan didn't want the authority that had just taken shape to become another interest group. At the very least: the signs must not be allowed to manifest themselves within a generation. Not regarding oneself as a military master or the ruling class, but only as a "pillar of the monarch" or "pillar of the country" itself, is the consciousness that a modern army should have.

At the same time, Xiao Xuan also felt that if there was no pressure of imminent battle within the expected time, even the army with a complete source of troops and systems would be somewhat carried, so he also had the intention of launching another patrol in advance, taking the opportunity to test the team again, and establish new ideologies and rules.
