"Skills and military discipline." Zhu Youzhen said very succinctly, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty generally had a relatively low level of education, and only in their language could they understand and be easy for them to accept.

In the queue of soldiers in the audience, there were soldiers nodding from time to time.

"You are soldiers, you are soldiers who defend the Ming Dynasty, you may go to the battlefield at any time, only by killing the enemy, can you protect yourself, training, is to improve your ability to kill the enemy to protect yourself. General Qi Shaobao said that sweat more today and bleed less tomorrow. Qi Jiguang is almost the god of war in the hearts of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the pride of every soldier in the Ming Dynasty, and his words are easy for the soldiers to accept, but whether this sentence was said by Qi Jiguang or not, Zhu Youzhen doesn't remember. However, it doesn't matter, it's just a white lie, most people don't care about these at all, even if someone points out the mistake, he can say that Qi Jiguang has also said something like this, or just to make it easier for the soldiers to accept, it doesn't matter who said it, the key is this reason.

“……”

"You are brothers, on the battlefield, you are not fighting alone, you are a whole collective, only by trusting your teammates and leaving a teammate on your back, can you face your enemies with a knife. And military discipline, strict military discipline, can make you trust each other and cooperate with each other.

"Brothers of the Fenzi Battalion, we are the Beijing Army, the elite of the Ming Army, and we must be worthy of our Qinglong Battle Banner." Zhu Youzhen himself entered the state, and unconsciously, he already regarded himself as a member of the Fenzi Battalion, rather than a temporary battalion staff officer.

"Sweat more today, bleed less tomorrow." Concise slogans can especially unite the morale of soldiers and enhance their sense of collective identity.

"Sweat more today, bleed less tomorrow."

The audience roared with joy. In later generations, Zhu Youzhen was not good at speeches, especially incendiary speeches, and today he was chasing ducks on the shelves, and judging from the soldiers' live appearances, the effect was still good. He looked back at Qin Yongnian, the commander was looking at Zhu Youzhen, and he didn't know how long he had been watching, he nodded lightly, with a rare faint smile on his face.

During the morning training, none of the soldiers mentioned that they were hungry, and their voices were thunderous and imposing. Recognition, the recognition of the battalion headquarters, and the recognition of the imperial court have temporarily restored the tiger and wolf spirit during the Taizu and Chengzu periods, they are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, they have shed blood and meritorious service to defend the Ming Dynasty, they will continue to sweat and shed blood for the defense of the Beijing Division and the Ming Dynasty, and they will crush the enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

Lunch was the happiest for the soldiers, and each soldier was fed, and each had a small bowl of pork, which they hadn't eaten for a long time. If you can't keep your promise and let the soldiers have enough to eat, the soldiers won't believe you at all, and if you don't have enough food consistently, the enthusiasm and fighting spirit inspired by the soldiers will slowly fade. Zhu Youzhen secretly decided that no matter how difficult it was, he would let the soldiers have enough to eat.

"Counselor Wang, what kind of officer is the staff officer?" Seeing Wang Xin's arrival, some of the soldiers who had already eaten enough, but were still eating, started a family routine with him, maybe talking could speed up digestion, and he would be able to eat more rice.

"It is to propose suggestions for the army's war, for the commander's reference." Zhu Youzhen didn't look down on them at all, this kind of Lagua was exactly what he needed, and only by walking into their side could it be possible to enter their hearts.

"Why did Counselor Wang enter the barracks?" The well-fed soldiers gradually gathered around, and Zhu Youzhen's speech not only made their blood boil, but also gave them a full meal to eat and meat to eat, and had tangible benefits.

"Because I like generals like Yue Fei and Qi Shaobao, and I admire those soldiers who are unknown, united, and terrifying to the enemy."

"Can we be soldiers like that?"

"Yes, surely. As long as you train hard, I believe that each of you can become a soldier like Qi Shaobao's subordinates. ”

The soldier's spirit is raised, and the next step is training. In the era of cold weapons, this is the foundation of combat effectiveness, and strict military discipline can bring this combat effectiveness into full play.

Zhu Youzhen had never entered the barracks before, and he didn't know anything about the training of the army, but since the passion of the soldiers had been mobilized, and he was going to invest a lot of money to add food to the soldiers, at this time, he would train according to the original method of the Ming army, which was obviously a waste of his crossing identity.

Zhu Youzhen racked his brains, finished his sleep, worked day and night, and even used the time with Wan'er. He recalled the bits and pieces of soldier training he knew in later generations, plus he had participated in military training for a month, and after integration, he finally preliminarily formulated a soldier's training plan, and handed over this plan to Qin Yongnian for acceptance.

Looking at the plan made by Zhu Youzhen, Qin Yongnian frowned. He couldn't understand or understand the effect of Zhu Youzhen's every training at all. "Wang Xin. This ......"

Zhu Youzhen had to patiently explain the purpose and possible effects of each training, Qin Yongnian still didn't understand, but since Zhu Youzhen's speech, he looked at Zhu Youzhen differently, maybe Zhu Youzhen inherited the military genes of Taizu Chengzu, so he didn't object, let Zhu Youzhen practice first, and then talk about the effect. Anyway, the current Fenwu Battalion is half-dead, and no matter how much training it is, it won't be bad. Just like parents in later generations give their children make-up lessons, most parents don't expect their children to learn much extracurricular knowledge from the teacher, the key is that the child will not go to pickles, fights, and take drugs when the teacher is there......

There are four main training plans for Zhu Youjian:

The first is the queue, standing upright, taking a break, turning left and right and backward...... This is for the purpose of training the discipline of soldiers, and soldiers regard obedience as their duty, and without strict discipline, no matter what art of war and tactics, once they encounter a vicious battle, they will surely be defeated.

The second is running and weightlifting, running with weights for 20 miles and 40 miles, and weightlifting training...... This is for the purpose of training the physical fitness of soldiers, whether it is group combat or individual combat, good physique is the basis of army mobilization and fighting.

The third is fighting, pikemen fighting, sword and shield fighting, and pikemen sword and shield soldiers fighting each other...... Discipline and physique are the basis of soldiers' warfare, but in order for an army to form a strong combat force, it must go through combat and even bloodshed.

The fourth is archery, with target positions of 50 meters, 60 meters, and 80 meters...... This is to train soldiers in the long-range strike ability, although the Ming army has arquebuses and artillery, but the quality of arquebuses is difficult to meet the requirements of the battlefield, the range is not as good as bows and arrows, far from replacing bows and arrows, artillery is huge, the range is much farther than bows and arrows, but the artillery is slow to fire, and too heavy, not conducive to transportation, mainly used for the defense of cities. Arquebuses and cannons, in order to replace bows and arrows, had to be developed and improved.

Zhu Youzhen made a simple reorganization of the Fenwu battalion, and he drew 300 elite soldiers from each battalion to form a special combat team, which was led by the loyal and clever King Mujiu of a thousand households. The special combat team is mainly used for attacking fortified positions, and can also be used as a direct guard of the battalion headquarters, and their training volume is much greater than that of other soldiers; The remaining 6,000 soldiers were divided into infantry guards and cavalry guards, with the original guard commanders Li Hongjun and Liu Yuxuan under the command; All the soldiers learned horsemanship and in the future they had to be equipped with war horses, without which the infantry would not be able to keep up with the pace of the cavalry.

After ten days of training, the morale of the soldiers was improved, and the training was gradually regularized. However, the soldiers felt very tired during the large-scale training, and a few soldiers even complained behind their backs.

Without the threat of war, high-quality training is difficult to maintain. At least in the minds of some soldiers. Since there is no threat of war, what Zhu Youzhen said about better self-preservation has no substantive significance.

This is a bottleneck in military training, there is no war, and the stimulus of the past is not enough to maintain the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Therefore, in order to maintain the high morale and morale of the army, there must be war. Only by fighting on an appropriate scale can we maintain the fighting spirit and morale of the soldiers and improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and the army that has not had any war or threat of war for 10, 20, or even 30 years will definitely degenerate into a government soldier like the Ming Dynasty who can only farm the land. The Fenwu battalion now has no combat mission, and Zhu Youzhen must find new ways to maintain and even strengthen the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
