After Song Miao came to vote, he was immediately recommended by Wei Shuo to Taishou Yang Han. After Yang Han's investigation www.biquge.info confirmed that Song Miao was indeed a person with real talent and learning, he appointed him as the county magistrate of Tiandi County.

Song Miao naturally won't forget his brother Li Wei when he is reused, Wei Shuo didn't expect Li Wei to be there, and there are still some festivals between him and Li Wei.

At the beginning, the Li family asked the Yin family for marriage, but was encouraged by Wei Shuo, and Mrs. Yin's escape made Li Wei unable to hold the beauty.

Now Li Wei came to vote, which made Wei Shuo feel quite embarrassed, fortunately, Mrs. Yin had gone to the Western Regions with the caravan, otherwise there might be some chaos. Since he knew that Li Wei was a talent, Wei Shuo would certainly not let the other party leave, and as for that little contradiction, he was confident that he would handle it well.

Considering that Li Wei was proficient in martial arts and familiar with military books, Wei Shuo appointed him to join the new army and temporarily assisted him in reorganizing the county soldiers.

Since Yang Taishou saw the power of the new army, he could no longer tolerate the old county soldiers, so he ordered the Governor's Mansion to start cleaning up the old soldiers.

Based on the 500 new army, Wei Shuo eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled in the old county soldiers, and supplemented some ordinary children with the help of the implementation of the military merit knighthood system, forming a total of 12,000 people: including 1,000 longbowmen, 2,000 sword and shield soldiers, 6,000 spearmen, and 3,000 cavalry.

Although Song Miao had repeatedly boasted to him about how powerful Wei Duwei was, when Li Wei saw that Wei Shuo was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he inevitably felt unconvinced.

Li Wei always felt that Wei Shuo's achievements today were all supported by Yang Han, Taishou, and if he also had such an opportunity, he might not be much worse than Wei Shuo. It wasn't until he walked into the barracks and came into contact with the new army that he completely changed his opinion of Wei Shuo.

From the first day he entered the barracks, Li Wei found that the new army of Gaochang was quite different from the army he remembered, except for a few troops directly under the generals, most of the army was always associated with dirt and chaos.

But in the Gaochang New Army, he couldn't see this at all. All the soldiers were not uniformly dressed, but they looked clean and tidy, and he even saw neatly folded bedding in the place where they were resting.

And whether in the barracks or outside, all the soldiers traveled in a column of three and two in a row.

In addition, the biggest difference from other armies is that the learning atmosphere here is so strong that Li Wei almost feels that he is not in the barracks, but in a certain academy.

A few days later, Li Wei, who was about to explode his brains, couldn't help but ask Wei Shuo for advice: "Dare to ask the captain, why do you encourage soldiers in the army to study?" ”

This is what Li Wei can't figure out anyway, and other details can be understood as strengthening the discipline and obedience of the soldiers, only in teaching the soldiers to read and learn characters, among the famous generals of the previous dynasties and dynasties that he is familiar with, he has never heard of a general who pays attention to whether the soldiers are literate or not.

"In the simplest way, the literacy of the soldiers helps to upload and issue orders, and avoid misunderstandings caused by illiteracy; To go deeper, an army of literate soldiers will have an independent mind. And an army with independent thinking will be invincible and invincible. ”

"Don't understand?"

Wei Shuo looked at Li Wei with a confused face, he didn't expect Li Wei to understand the deep meaning of this at once, after all, even if the ancients had a high IQ, limited to a lack of knowledge, they would definitely not see the problem very deeply.

He smiled and patted Li Wei on the shoulder and comforted: "It's nothing if you don't understand, you can appreciate the benefits of doing this after a long time." ”

Leaving Li Wei with a stomach full of doubts, Wei Shuo ordered to start daily training, still starting with the most basic queue training. Soon, more than 10,000 soldiers were divided into several phalanxes by nearly 500 instructors, and began simple and boring basic training.

Although Li Wei was an officer in the army, he still needed to be trained like an ordinary soldier because he had never been trained in a queue.

This made Li Wei feel puzzled and confused, but fortunately, now he knew how to bury his doubts in his heart for the time being, and decided to stay in the barracks first as Wei Shuo said, maybe after a long time, he would naturally figure it out.

Cohort training was boring and boring, for a whole hour, and no training was done except for walking back and forth in the queue. If this continues, even if Li Wei keeps hinting that he should be patient, there is still an evil fire in his heart that wants to be vented.

Finally, when he was about to lose his control, Wei Shuo stopped training.

Li Wei's legs were like lead, and he just wanted to find a place to lie down and rest. However, before he could take action, he heard a shouting in his ears, and it turned out that an instructor was reprimanding a soldier lying on the ground at will.

At this time, more and more instructors began to stand up, and they reorganized the originally scattered non-commissioned soldiers, and repeatedly emphasized to the non-commissioned officers that soldiers should sit and stand, and must not be as casual and sloppy as people in the market.

Li Wei just couldn't understand why Wei Shuo was so 'mistreating' the soldiers, wasn't he afraid that the soldiers would change due to resentment? Tragic events such as the camp roar and mutiny recorded in the history books often happened under these circumstances.

In fact, Li Wei thought a lot, the reason why the ancient army often had camp roars was due to a variety of factors.

In ancient China, the rules of the camp were strict, not to mention shouting loudly, even spreading rumors was life-threatening.

Moreover, the military camp is an authentic place of slaughter, and the traditional Chinese military regulations have the so-called "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings", and those who serve as soldiers live in fear, and the mental depression can be imagined after years and months.

On the other hand, the ancient army was very dark, officers wantonly bullied soldiers, veterans ganged up to oppress new soldiers, and soldiers formed gangs and factions to fight openly and secretly, and contradictions accumulated year after year, all relying on military discipline and bullets.

Especially before the war, everyone's life and death were uncertain, and they didn't know when they would return to the West, and their spirits at this time were on the verge of collapse.

At this time, only the slightest wind and grass, even if it may be just a soldier screaming in a nightmare, will cause the camp to roar. As soon as the camp roar broke out, the long-suppressed soldiers were immediately infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere, completely got rid of the shackles of military discipline and vented frantically.

Some clear-headed fellows began to copy up the guys to repay grievances and revenge, and since many of the soldiers relied on their fellow villagers to form gangs and factions, they began to fight. At this time, those officers who usually oppressed the soldiers became the number one target, and everyone was settling their own accounts in the chaos, and those who should pay off their debts couldn't run away if they wanted to.

Although the Gaochang New Army had strict military discipline, except for serious crimes such as defecting to the enemy and betraying secrets, they would be beheaded, and after the abolition of unreasonable torture such as "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings," the lives of ordinary soldiers were fully guaranteed.

In addition, Wei Shuo severely cracked down on ugly phenomena in the original army such as bullying and oppressing new soldiers, so that the psychological pressure faced by the new soldiers and soldiers was far lower than that of the traditional army. In the face of physical overdraft, it will not cause such a tragedy as the camp roar.

Moreover, Wei Shuo did not blindly rely on military discipline to suppress the soldiers, but also took advantage of the daily teaching of the soldiers' cultural classes to greet them and help them solve problems in life, all of which made Wei Shuo establish his prestige in the new army.

Just when Li Wei was thinking wildly, the entire school field resounded one after another singing, and it is said that these impassioned songs were all from the hands of Wei Duwei.

At first, he was a little unaccustomed to singing loudly with everyone, but he was soon infected by the warm atmosphere in the army. And he soon discovered the benefits of singing among the priests, which not only brought in the relationship between the priests and soldiers, but also helped to cultivate the spirit of the soldiers.

At the end of the day's training in the evening, Li Wei, who was physically and mentally exhausted and lying on the bed, recalled the life in the military camp on this day and found that although he still had a lot of questions to understand, he already liked it a little.

"Maybe it's really as the sports industry said, Gaochang is a place worth investing in!"
