On this day, accompanied by Ma Hongyuan, the governor of Dazhou, and Yang Bingyi, the general of the 5th battalion, he first paraded the troops, then visited the various barracks, and finally went to the canteen to have lunch with everyone.

On the way to the canteen, he felt a slight breathing sound coming from the haystack next to him, Yang Lin was startled and hurriedly stopped.

The guard next to him was shocked, kicked the haystack open, and saw four or five men hiding in the haystack and playing long cards from a distance.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Bingyi's face was pale, and it was too embarrassing this time.

Unlike the other divisions, the 5th Battalion was developed from the defeated generals of the Tyrants, and the discipline was relatively lax compared to the other divisions.

But I didn't expect to gamble in public during the general's inspection, which was too unbelievable.

Yang Bingyi's face was pale, and he shouted loudly, one by one, he must be severely punished.

In the past, everyone was poorly clothed and hungry, and they were forced to fall into the grass and be looked down upon, but now the adults have taken everyone in, hoping that everyone will be a new person, and now they are actually gambling, which is too unconscionable.

The gendarmes rushed over, tied five men to a tree, stripped them naked, and beat them with more than 50 lashes in public.

As the saying goes, a rat poop dirties a pot of porridge, and the matter is not over, and after the fight, all of them are confined and confined after the fight, and then they are forced to retire and be brought back by their families.

The five men wailed one by one, begging not to be forced to retire and rush home, if that was the case, they would not be able to raise their heads and be human beings in the local area.

Military law is ruthless, not to mention being encountered by Yang Lin on the spot, even if he doesn't make any statement, it is impossible to recover.

Seeing that some people in the team couldn't bear it, Yang Lin felt that everyone didn't understand, and after thinking about it, he needed to explain the truth thoroughly.

Throwing the coat to the guards next to him, Yang Lin picked up the simple horn and walked to the front of the stage and asked: "Brothers, gambling vice, gambling harm, I think everyone has seen it, and they all understand, if you don't restrain yourself from this kind of vice, how many families will be ruined, how many wives will be separated, and how many children will be bought and sold."

Although we all know the dangers of gambling, why can't we restrain the urge to gamble?

We are manly husbands, it is our talent to be competitive, if you want to talk about playing cards and gambling, I have played in the past, but I haven't played since I became an official?

The main reason for this is to avoid the spread of unhealthy trends.

Think about it, if I play cards, there must be a group of flatterers who like it, looking for opportunities to play cards with me all day long.

In order to make me happy, some people will deliberately lose to me. Let's think about the other party's only so much, since the card loss to me, the wool must be out of the sheep, in other places to find a way to make silver to fill the hole, everyone think that if this is the case, our entire volunteer army is not a miasma?

Also, everyone thinks about playing cards all day long, instead of how to train the army, how to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, and if you lose your division and lose ground in the future, it will even bring us a catastrophe in the future.

So I wouldn't do it anyway to play cards and bet on winning or losing, but on the other hand, I could have competed and started another gamble in my life.

In the past, when I was born as a scholar, everyone laughed at me for being able to write but not martial arts, I was not convinced, and I would dance with guns and sticks whenever I was free.

Some people ridiculed me for only knowing how to wield guns and sticks, but not firearms, and I was not convinced, so I calmed down and studied firearms.

After the training, others ridiculed me for showing off my talents, I was not convinced, I trained with my brothers, and I did not rest in the dead of night every day, not only thinking about how to improve my killing skills, but also improving the training level of the soldiers.

I practice with the masters every day, and compete with the masters around me every three or five days.

In each competition, if I lose, I will lose the other party's 1 yuan of silver, so in two years, the master who used to win my silver has already been beaten by me, and I have to lose 2 or 3 taels of silver in the past month, and now I rarely lose.

I hope that the brothers will have the strength to not admit defeat, so I practice every ten years, and those who win will be rewarded, and those who fail will be punished.

Brothers, I hope you will not admit defeat, I hope you can get ahead, but I don't want you to become gamblers.

Just like the old-fashioned army in the past, they lost selling military funds, losing and plundering the people, and some even lost the generals' news to convert, and exchanged the blood of their brothers for their own gambling debts. ”

Everyone looked at each other and applauded one by one.

Yang Lin then gave an example, telling everyone through examples, so that the competitive nature of men can be transformed into improving their own skills and improving their status.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, but how to become a general, Yang Lin pointed out a roadmap for everyone, that is, the selection criteria for squad leaders, squadron leaders, brigade leaders, and battalion commanders.

Simply take a squad leader as an example, he must be familiar with all kinds of equipment in the army and be able to guide his subordinates

It is necessary to be familiar with various formations and be able to reasonably allocate training and combat tasks

It is inevitable to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions

must obey the command of the superior and unite his soldiers

…..

Otherwise, even if you become a squad leader or squadron leader by virtue of your relationship, and you don't have real materials, you will be looked down upon and ousted.

Yang Lin shouted, if you think that you should be promoted to squad leader or squadron leader and you don't have it at present, you can find your captain and battalion commander.

The one who thinks that he should be promoted to captain or battalion commander but has not been promoted, can find himself.

This is a fair gamble, not like these sneaky and cheap card players.

On the stage, Yang Lin asked everyone to improve their abilities and skills through mutual competition, instead of playing cards all day long to eliminate time.

Everyone applauded loudly, and Yang Lin called each captain to the stage and said his worst three to challenge the strong.

The crowd was inspired, and some claimed that the squad was poorly trained and how much time it took them to bring it to normal.

Some claimed that the skills of the other brigade were good, and made him swear loudly on the stage that he must catch up with him at some point.

In the previous life training often used this method, the ancients were very simple, after Yang Lin provoked, everyone responded enthusiastically, the whole school from time to time bursts of applause.

Back at the Zhizhou Yamen, Yang Bingyi knelt down and confessed again and again.

First fiercely criticized a military discipline problem, after deducting two months' military salary, seeing that his confession attitude was very sincere, and then he would be helped up, Yang Lin sighed and said: "Mr. Yang, gambling is probably not unique to your 5th Battalion."

Manly husbands, competitive and competitive, in the past training, we want them to practice, so that everyone will be scattered, will take the opportunity to slip aside to play cards.

Now they practice on their own, there is no doubt that they will also be allowed to compete with each other when the time comes, and if they win, of course they must be rewarded, so that it is a healthy competition. ”

Seeing that Yang Lin's anger had subsided, Yang Bingyi wiped off the beads of sweat on his face again and again, and only now did he find that his back was cold, and all of it was sweat.

And the gambling in the army also made Yang Lin realize the seriousness of the problem again, in addition to letting the soldiers compete with each other and have a big competition, they should find ways to solve it in other aspects.

In this era, life in the army was very boring and boring, and in the past, in addition to training, it was still training, and the effect was not very obvious.

Although the volunteers have increased their time for learning cultural knowledge (that is, reading books and telling stories to everyone who are literate), singing military songs, self-summarizing time every day, and now in addition to regular competitions, they are still very free during the recuperation period.

It seems that it is necessary to introduce more healthy cultural life, and after thinking about it for two days, Yang Lin listed a series of options, such as modern sketches, football (bowing, in the past, it was like a volleyball on both sides, but now it is just for everyone to shoot on the grass like playing football), storytelling, shadow puppetry, etc.
