Chapter 189: Survival of the fittest, those who are capable are rewarded

"Grandpa Zhang just went, and this is coming again?"

Sun Bin stepped forward to say such a sentence, and the next moment his eyes saw the prince Zhu Houzhao, and after a moment of surprise, he immediately blinked as if nothing happened, but he neither saluted nor greeted, as if he didn't see this master, he pulled Zhang Yong to speak, even if Zhu Houzhao came over to listen, he only didn't squint.

"Father-in-law Xiao was still afraid that something would go wrong with Xu Shizi, so he specially asked me to come over and take a look, but I didn't expect him to use it to benefit first, and then thunderously drove away more than 20 people, so all of a sudden those military remnants were in awe. I just went to inquire, these people are all family members with father and brother as military households, and when it is not their turn to eat money and food, it can be said that they are all used to suffering at home, and now they can have the opportunity to eat the emperor's food, and they have also promised the title of the person with the knife, who is not tempted......"

Sun Bin chattered, seeing that Zhu Houzhao's eyes didn't blink, he was obviously extremely interested, he couldn't help but add fuel and vinegar to talk about it, and even Xu Xun ordered everyone to tie a red cloth strip on his right arm. Liu Jin, who was on the side, was a little curious and puzzled, and suddenly interjected and asked: "I have never heard of this method being used in military training, what is the reason?" ”

"Hey, it's not because those boys don't have at least three or four out of ten!"

There is no distinction between left and right, this is a problem that Xu Xun has discovered during military training in his previous life. And this problem can be solved very well after tying a strip of red cloth. Of course, it would be a joke if you didn't make a difference between the left and right after a few months of training.

He has no experience in managing the army, nor is he a brave general with high martial arts, and he can intimidate everyone with a single move - even a bow horse, he has only studied with Xu Liang for a short time, and he has to rely on these three months to assault. For the formation training, he also has some small experience. Before the military department went to check these surplus soldiers, he had already gathered all the officers he wanted, so as to confuse them, move them with their names, and understand them with reason, so that these low-level officers who had been stumbling for many years seemed to be beaten with chicken blood. And the impeachment of Ma Wensheng, Dai Shan and a group of imperial historians not only did not have an impact, but made them firmly believe that Xu Xun was close to the prince, which was an unexpected gain.

At this time, the tug-of-war has gone through two rounds of competition, and the total number of people who have won the most games is 50 people, and a meat dish is added at night, and the bottom is halved at night. And every time the tug-of-war is played, Xu Xun is the referee who stands in the middle, one side has to go up to praise a few words if he wins, and the other side loses a few points. Wang Shouren on the side was initially surprised, and it could be seen that the young soldiers who won were happily hugging each other and laughing and jumping, while the losers were complaining to each other, and many even raised their fists noisily, and he nodded secretly after a while.

Even if these young soldiers are from military families, if they want to integrate into the team, it is most suitable to come to such a few battles without swords and swords!

It was five games in a moment, although Xu Xun would never recognize everyone in a moment, but those who had the most strength and a few who could shout and command on the spot, he secretly remembered all the physical characteristics. You must know that Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, gave him five hundred households, and all the general flags below him were still missing, how could he not be careful?

By the time all the games were over, the young army was so tired that they were on their backs, and Xu Xun was already dry and hoarse. After the final result was announced, he bowed slightly to the few little eunuchs sent by Xiao Jing, the celebrant and eunuch on the side, who had come to help him, and when he saw that they immediately moved out two large rattan boxes from behind, he cleared his throat and said, "Today's winner, in addition to the previously announced rewards, wears a red vest!" ”

Seeing that there was silence for a moment, Xu Xun lowered his voice slightly, but said word by word: "From now until the end of three months, every time you practice or are the first in various activities, you will wear a red vest outside your jacket." A total of 50 people who accumulate the first most every month are scarves, and after the end of three months, the first and most people in total are rewarded with a waist card awarded by His Royal Highness the Prince! The rest of the people waited for the avant-garde wooden card of the government army, and those who were at the bottom of the three-month cumulative results were temporarily checked and cleared according to the situation. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only more than 400 people were in an uproar, but even Zhu Houzhao and others, who were watching the excitement over there, were also surprised. Liu Jin saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly said next to Zhu Houzhao: "This Xu Shizi is actually open-mouthed, and he is not afraid of being exposed by people who have awarded the waist card by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Who said he was a good talker?" Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and glared at Liu Jin, and immediately said to Zhang Yong with a smile, "Go, hurry up and customize fifty golden waist cards according to Xu Xun's words, and then the prince will personally award them to them!" ”

Including Sun Bin, everyone almost got into a fight when they heard this-in addition to those top military ministers, how many generals in the Ming Dynasty used the golden waist card? At this time, Gu Da rolled his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to laugh and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this golden waist card is really unnecessary, these uninformed soldiers, gold and bronze can't tell the difference!" In this way, let the small ones go to create a batch of copper waist cards, and send them one by one when the time comes. ”

"Hmm...... That's it, that's all! ”

Xu Xun knows very well that no matter where he is, there will be motivation when there is competition, and rewards are the driving force that cannot be ignored. Sure enough, at his instigation, a bold person immediately asked, "My lord, you're not coaxing us, are you?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will really give us a waist card? ”

No one expects the prince to give him a waist card, only to get what the prince has given him. After all, the distance between the prince of the country and these people is really very far. At this time, before Xu Xun could speak, a shrill voice raised his voice came from behind.

"Of course it's true, you will be His Royal Highness the Prince's sword bearer in the future, and the prince's waist card is also a matter of course!"

This swaying forward is naturally Liu Jin. Seeing that everyone was looking at him suspiciously and expectantly, he coughed lightly and said, "Our family is Liu Jin of the East Palace Seal Bureau, the person next to His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned that you were practicing in the school field in the West Garden, and specially sent these people from our family to watch you practice! His Royal Highness said, you should be careful and listen to Lord Xu's instructions. If you can practice well after three months, what is the waist card that Lord Xu said just now, and there are many rewards for others! ”

Xu Xun didn't have time to pay attention to whether there were other people coming to join in the fun, and when he saw Liu Jin standing up to support him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that his cowhide was round, and he didn't notice Wang Shouren's thoughtful expression behind him. And after listening to Liu Jin's words, the more than 400 young soldiers didn't know who was shouting there, and a group of people knelt down in a mess, and for a while it was not very neat to sing the holy voice.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!"

Over there, Zhu Houzhao saw that those young soldiers didn't even know that they were there, so they knelt and worshipped, and even said a thousand years old, and he was immediately overjoyed. Seeing that Zhang Yong couldn't help laughing, he smiled proudly: "Look, my father often says that he wants to be gracious, didn't I do it?" Look at their grateful...... Okay, let them stop worshipping, didn't Xu Xun say what kind of red vest it was? Let someone wear it for me to see! ”

Since the prince opened his mouth, Zhang Yong naturally ran errands without saying a word. After a while, the red vests were already being issued in the compartment. Seeing the look of the young soldiers dressed with shy chests and bulging bellies, Zhu Houzhao suddenly tilted his head with interest and thought about it, and finally nodded at Liu Jin, who had just returned.

"Go and ask if this is the end of the day? If it's really over, call Xu Xun over, I have something to ask him! ”

The day's training is over, but Xu Xun's affairs are far from over. It's just that when he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really came here to see the excitement in person, Xu Xun still threw everything to the five hundred households below, and very irresponsibly fooled Wang Shouren, asking him to preach loyalty and patriotism to the young army, and then let the people slip away. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed as a classless little eunuch, because there were probably many people looking at him, he asked for his surname and arched his hand to the crowd.

"Hello fathers-in-law!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't want anyone to recognize him, but at this time, he was suddenly extremely satisfied, and after a look, several people in his entourage immediately led them to a sheltered hut, and then spread out and looked around. From the outside to the warm room, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile and said, "I was worried about you for a long time in the Wenhua Palace, but I didn't expect you to be quite capable!" By the way, how did you come up with the idea of your red vest, scarf, and waist card? ”

Xu Xun really did not imitate the yellow vest of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but got inspiration from the yellow jersey of the Houshi bicycle race. Chinese people have always been like this, no one has the energy to eat a big pot of rice, but as long as they work more or get more rewards and punishments, then in addition to the real lazy people, many people who are determined to go forward will have more motivation to work hard. Of course, these young soldiers are more likely to be enthusiastic. That's why he was willing to make a military order before, and he didn't want those veterans who had been in the army.

Only in front of Zhu Houzhao, some words could not be said thoroughly, so he just explained concisely: "Your Highness, this idea is actually very simple to say, but it is the survival of the fittest, and those who can are rewarded are rewarded." To train these young soldiers, they must be rewarded and they can see that the winners have received great benefits, so that they will be motivated. Just like those students' exams, the first and second classes can go to the higher level of the exam, the third and fourth classes are left to continue studying, and the fifth class is subject to the board, and the sixth class is immediately dismissed. As long as they see the hope rushing ahead and the danger of falling behind, everyone can use their lives to enforce the ban. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't know much about the rules of the imperial examination, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but pestered Xu Xun to explain it again, and at the end he groaned thoughtfully. It's just that he has never had a long surname, and it didn't take long for him to remember another important matter, and he immediately smiled: "Well, in short, what you did was right, even my father said that you are smart!" There is one more thing for me today, Ma Wensheng and Dai Shan, who have impeached you, are now difficult to protect, I heard that my father is very angry! ”
