The rain was still falling, and the bird on the branch looked a little anxious, and its wet feathers prevented it from flapping its wings and flying high, and looked weakly at the chicks waiting to be fed in the nest in the distance, chirping.

After the family had dinner, because of Li Guanghang's conversation with the old lady, time moved forward a few hours, and it was already a little late Li Guanghang returned to his room. With nothing to do, Li Guanghang picked up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that he hadn't seen for a long time, and was ready to do something that he would often do in the future.

Summary.

After today's incident, Li Guanghang understands that his biggest threshold at present is physical fitness. In fact, during the first hand-to-hand encounter, Li Guanghang's tiger mouth was a little unsupportable, and there was a large area of bleeding under the cortex, and he still had a faint pain.

Physical training will be part of your daily routine in the future.

Secondly, this incident also made Li Guanghang understand the importance of a private armed force.

Although the Li family also has some family thugs, they are just some people who take care of the family, and it is okay to beat people, but it is not good to beat the Japanese and Tartars.

Moreover, the Li family originally had only about 100 people, and they were also responsible for the transportation of some of the Li family's goods, which made the already scarce population more and more scarce, and there was no climate at all.

Li Guanghang has to make a bold decision, something that has been planned in his heart for a long time.

Training.

When it comes to military training, Li Guanghang can't help but think of Qi Shaobao, who is a powerful man and a soldier who has a lot of investment in his set of soldiers, but all of them are talented people and have high combat effectiveness.

Qi Shaobao's army, hundreds of years later, has become a legend and will forever go down in history with a glorious name - Qi Family Army.

According to the record of the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", whenever a new recruit enlists in the army, Qi Shaobao always has to give a lecture to encourage everyone to learn martial arts, and the second paragraph is really a strange text, which can be used as a reference for the ideological and political staff of some units now, so the excerpt is as follows: You have all listened, practicing martial arts is not the official business you promised the official, it is the work of you to be a soldier and kill the thief to save your life, you are high in martial arts, kill the thief, the thief can't kill you, your martial arts are not as good as him, he will kill you. If you don't learn martial arts, you are a nerd who doesn't want your life.

Of course, as a recruit, you can take these words as a deaf ear, but Qi Shaobao didn't expect the recruits to consciously implement them at all, and he had prepared many surprises to ensure that the recruits spent this unforgettable barracks life to the fullest.

After Qi Shaobao's ideological education, the next step is to stand in line, including the marching and turning of the team, etc., the specific form is similar to today, but if the soldier turns in the wrong direction and walks in the wrong queue, it is not just to pull out and punish the station, it is to hit the board, and after the fight, the soldier will not be allowed to go to the infirmary to see, and he has to continue to practice.

After practicing the queue, Qi Shaobao will teach everyone to learn the commands, including the drum is to advance, the gold is to collect the troops, and the various meanings of flag waving, if the soldiers are illiterate, it doesn't matter, Qi Shaobao will count them, and will personally teach the soldiers. But if you return it to the commander after teaching the soldier, it will not be good, in order to ensure that the soldier remembers next time, the lord will beat the soldier board until you cry dad and call your mother, and swear to remember.

After completing the established course, it's time to learn martial arts, the instructors are all martial arts masters from all over the world, all of them are practicing actual combat, and routine players are generally not hired.

Considering the difference in culture and blood, as well as the difference in IQ, in order to ensure a good teaching effect, Qi Shaobao also specially established a "performance inspection system" similar to that of later generations, and the grades were graded, which is the most worthy of reference by Li Guanghang, after all, the champion in the competition.

As a result, under this almost inhumane training method, the recruit comrades lived in misery and suffered bruises every day, but it was in this cruel environment that they practiced extraordinary martial arts and achieved extraordinary careers.

In Chinese history, there have been countless elite special armies, such as the Tiger Ben Army of the Han Dynasty, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms, the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty, etc., whose combat effectiveness is rarely matched, but throughout ancient and modern times, there are only two armies that can be famous all over the world and are named after generals:

Except for Qi Jiguang, only Yue Fei can win this honor. (Yu Dayou's army is also called Yu Jiajun, but it is not very famous).

For Qi Jiguang and his army, this is a well-deserved evaluation.

Li Guanghang wanted to take Qi Shaobao as his goal and train a strong army that was enough to resist the 100,000 iron cavalry of Houjin.

However, Li Guanghang is now encountering the same problem as Qi Shaobao back then.

The problem of the source of troops.

In Qi Jiguang's view, an invincible army must have the following qualities:

Swift as the wind, Xu as a forest, aggression as fire, immobile as a mountain, difficult as yin, moving like thunder.

- Sun Tzu's Art of War

This is the "six such mantras" that have been regarded as classics by countless military experts, and those who have reached the "six such as" will overcome the battle, attack and win, and be invincible!

In the "six as", the last two must rely on the generals, and the first four must rely on small soldiers.

Therefore, from ancient times to the present, a very important point that leads to the elite of soldiers is the problem of soldiers.

On this issue, Qi Jiguang had an extremely interesting conversation with the then Taizhou prefect and later the world-famous general Tan Lun, and the content of the conversation was sorted out by later generations, which is roughly as follows:

Qi Jiguang (hereinafter referred to as Qi): Although I have done my best to practice, it is only after experiencing the battle formation that I have discovered that there is a big problem with the new army.

Tan Lun (hereinafter referred to as Tan): What is the problem?

Qi: Most of the 3,000 new troops in our department were Chuzhou (now Lishui, Zhejiang) and Shaoxing soldiers, and the soldiers in these two places had their own characteristics, such as the Chuzhou soldiers, who fought very bravely, never hesitated to obey orders, charged into battle, were very active, and were the main force in battle.

Tan: Any questions?

Qi: But every time they go to war, they have to negotiate terms with me.

Tan: Talk about the conditions?

Qi: Before the war, they demanded that they know the opponents and the number of people they were fighting, and then they discussed internally, and if they thought they could fight, they would fight, but if they thought they could not fight, even if they tried their best to speak, they would never work hard.

Tan:......

It's not over yet, the headache is behind.

Qi: Relatively speaking, the Shaoxing soldiers are more obedient to orders, no matter what kind of battle they fight, they will never refuse, they are completely obedient, and they are not afraid of hard work, they will camp and repair the city and other hard work, arrange them to do it, they will do their best, and never complain. And on the battlefield, if the enemy retreats, they will take the initiative to pursue.

Tan: Isn't it good to obey military orders and fight bravely?

Qi: But the problem is that if the enemy attacks, they will take the initiative to retreat.

Tan:......

Qi: Of course, if the enemy retreats again, they will still pursue, but if the enemy returns to the army, they will retreat again, and according to my statistics, whenever they are within 30 steps of the enemy, when they are about to fight hand-to-hand, they will generally retreat with their whole army. All in all, the critical moment is really unreliable.

Tan: So what are you going to do?

After a moment of silence, Qi Jiguang ended the conversation with a heavy sigh:

"I can't help it."

In fact, in this conversation between the two, a very important theory was involved - geographical determinism, generally speaking, people living in difficult mountainous areas have a tougher character, and the people are fierce, not afraid of death, and in economically developed areas, it is not difficult to eat a bowl of rice, and ghosts are willing to work hard until they have to.

The Chuzhou area is mountainous, the economic conditions are poor, it is an area inhabited by ethnic minorities, the local people have always believed in the theory of life such as a big scar on the head, Shaoxing has beautiful mountains and clear waters, there are many readers, and mainly engaged in mental work (such as Xu Wei), it is really not possible to engage in some tourism service industry, and it is really impossible to work hard.

And for this kind of regional difference, training alone can't solve it, Qi Jiguang really has no way, even if Li Guanghang, an old monster who has "lived" for a hundred years, it can't be solved for a while.
