Chapter 24: A New Art of Training
Yang Mu waved his hand and ordered them to gather the soldiers on the school field first.
The generals ordered each to return to the camp, gave instructions to his centurion, and then rang the bell on the school grounds.
"Bell, bell, bell......"
With the loud sound of the bell on the school field, the soldiers ran to the school field, hurriedly lined up, and the entire school field was dusty and black.
Yang Mu sat in the boss seat on the high platform, looked at the mess below, and counted silently in his heart, from the time the bell rang, it was at least five minutes before the soldiers were assembled one after another, and there were still people in the team pushing and shoving, and there were a lot of noises.
The efficiency and discipline of the regular army, which determines the survival of a country, is so low!
Shen An stood aside, observing his words and expressions, so he took a step forward and shouted: "Silence! ”
This shout, the whole school field suddenly quieted a lot, although it was still mixed with some rustling sounds, but finally there were no more crowds, you called me shouting.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, each of them eagerly looked at the handsome position on the high platform, where sat the most noble emperor of the Cangguo, a sage king, is the benefactor of every poor family in the Cangguo, next to His Majesty the Emperor, everyone standing is a big man to look up to.
After a long time, Yang Mu adjusted his mentality, got up and stood, and walked to the edge of the high platform.
"I came to patrol the camp today and brought you good news and bad news." Yang Mu said loudly.
Good news? Bad news?
All the soldiers were awe-inspiring, and the school was extremely quiet, as if a fine needle had landed on the ground, and there was both expectation and apprehension in their hearts.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor has never disappointed, and since he ascended the throne, he has simply been an emperor who brings all kinds of good news to everyone, which is more effective than the God of Wealth posted at home.
But what's the bad news? Could it be that the new decrees are not counted?
In the past two days, the army has also heard some news, it is said that several new decrees have been opposed by many ministers, and His Majesty is under great pressure, and if it is really abolished, it is not impossible.
As a result, the sound of small and fragmented discussions began to sound in the school field again.
In the eyes of everyone, Yang Mu spoke again: "This is good news, there are three things. First, the meritorious lord system is resolutely implemented, and soldiers obtain official positions based on their ability! Second, maintain military regulations, generals are guilty of the same crime as non-commissioned officers! The third is to improve everyone's life. ”
Improving lives?
The soldiers are puzzled, the first two are easy to say, basically give everyone a reassurance, don't worry about the government decree being abolished, but what the hell is improving life?
Yang Mu continued: "I declare that from today onwards, all the soldiers of my Cangguo will implement a three-meal system a day, and there must be three dishes and one soup for lunch every day, and there must be meat and greasy!" ”
Three meals?
There are three dishes and one soup for lunch, and there must be meat and greasy? Is there such a good thing? Is there going to be war again? Only when there is a war can there be three meals a day, and the soldiers can eat and be full.
The soldiers were stunned, and their first reaction was not to be happy, but to question.
But as long as you use your brain a little, you feel that it is wrong, Zheng Guo's army has just suffered a fiasco, and it is not capable of invading south in a short time, where does it come from to fight? What's more, Your Majesty also said that every day in the future, you can't fight every day, right?
Three meals a day, every day can be stained with meat, in everyone's heart is a good wish, I have not touched it a few times since I was a child, even last night's carnival celebration, just a full meal, drank some of the barracks' self-brewed light wine, and some pickles to swallow.
In the barracks, even the centurions mostly ate and slept with the soldiers, how could ordinary lowly soldiers enjoy such treatment?
Moreover, looking at the surprised appearance of the generals next to him, it seemed that he didn't know anything.
Yang Mu saw the reactions of the soldiers in his eyes, a little crying and laughing, the poor and scared, even if they picked up a lump of gold on the road, they felt that it was fake, and they couldn't believe it because of the too generous treatment.
But he was not in a hurry to explain, and by noon, everyone had eaten a lot of food, and naturally they all believed it.
"Soldiers, the next thing is bad news." Yang Mu took two steps and said: "Zheng Guo has been defeated, he will definitely not be reconciled, and when the war with Shen Guo is over, he will definitely make a comeback, so from today on, military law and military discipline must be strictly enforced, and all soldiers will implement new training methods, double their training, and be ready to resist the invading enemy at any time!" ”
Below, all the soldiers looked at each other, and even the generals standing next to the high platform were very puzzled.
The idea of the soldiers is very simple, after the promulgation of the new meritorious service and military merit reward system, everyone is eager to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, earn rewards and titles, and the hot-blooded young people are eager to have a big battle right away and have the opportunity to seek a future and origin.
His Majesty the Emperor said that it was good news and bad news, but to everyone's ears, both were good news!
However, the generals standing next to the high platform thought much more.
First of all, Zheng Guo was defeated, and it is certain that he wants to plan a comeback, and it is not necessary to take military law and discipline seriously, but what new training methods are unheard of, what is it?
You must know that the current training methods of Cangguo are similar to those of the surrounding vassal states, and they are all trained according to the experience and practices passed down for hundreds of years, at least in the hearts of the generals, it is already the most effective training method.
But now, His Majesty the Emperor, without consulting with the generals, has openly said that he wants to implement a new training method, and it is ridiculous to act so recklessly.
In particular, Wei Zhongquan, as a veteran of the two dynasties and the most powerful figure in the army, has been immersed in the army for half his life, and deeply understands the hardships of military training, even if he only changes some details, he will encounter great resistance in the whole army, not to mention any new type of military training.
Not to mention the difficulty of implementation, from the point of view of itself, how can the new style of military training be new? How new? Where's the new?
There is no basis for words, no one knows whether it has an effect or not, even His Majesty the Emperor with a mysterious aura behind him is no exception.
Due to the tens of thousands of soldiers in the school field, Wei Zhongquan was not easy to admonish directly, so he had to hold back his words in his heart, thinking of persuading him when he got to a secluded place.
But unexpectedly, at this time, Yang Mu sat down, took out a small notebook from his shirt, and handed it to him.
Wei Zhongquan took it and hesitated: "Your Majesty, this is ......"
Yang Mu smiled mysteriously and waved his hand: "Aiqing might as well open it and take a look." ”
Wei Zhongquan nodded, then carefully opened the slightly rough small notebook and began to browse the first page.
Military posture training, corporal punishment methods, queue drills, military quality, political training, teamwork......
Wei Zhongquan frowned, these strange titles, let alone understand, I have never heard of them before, I don't understand what they mean at all, and there are incomprehensible symbols below these words.
Turning back further, there are some even more incomprehensible things, and they even contain something like standing upright, taking a break, turning, positional rescue, military exercises, and the like, just like a book from heaven.
