readx; "Let's go! One-two-one, one-two-one..."

Every morning, the hard-working and early people of Luoyang will always see a group of officers and soldiers braving the severe cold of winter, marching in the streets and alleys with strange steps. Pen & Fun & Pavilion can be recognized from their appearance www.biquge.info these officers and soldiers are the people of Ruzhou Wei before. It's just that they have never seen the training of officers and soldiers in the past, and they imagine that the training should always be with knives and guns, and walking back and forth unarmed like this, can they defeat the enemy?

Not only did the people not understand it, but the soldiers who had just been incorporated into the first division of the Ming Army were also full of suspicion. They had expected that they would soon be given weapons and sent to battle, or at least defend the city. According to the arrangement of Li Shouyi, the commander of each company, the commander of each company, only let the soldiers conduct queue training every day, and walk back and forth in the city.

Of course, this kind of training is also very tiring, and the company commanders have clear requirements for the rhythm and neatness of walking, and even how high the legs should be raised. These soldiers used to be ruffians, and they had received such rigorous training, and they complained bitterly as soon as the training began.

And the company commander was also unceremonious, anyone who dared to disobey orders, or deliberately did not train seriously, violated discipline for the first time, and was dragged out of the queue for training alone; the second offense, heavy responsibility for twenty military sticks; The third offense will be punished according to military regulations. Of course, no one dared to violate military discipline at the risk of killing their heads, and the most naughty soldiers in the past, after eating twenty military sticks, also understood that the commander was definitely not joking, and they no longer dared to be yin and yang.

At this time, some soldiers wanted to retreat and begged the company commander to become a civilian household and no longer suffer this crime. The company commander glared at him and scolded: "The barracks is not a vegetable market, can you come and leave whenever you want?" Regret it now, it's too late! If you want to be discharged from the army, you can, at least after three years of service! Look at you bastards, you can't stand it if you suffer so much, you're still a man, don't you, do you still have eggs? ”

Under the continuous scolding and provocation of the company commander, all the soldiers had to cheer up and continue to train hard. Of course, the company commander is not all punishment, there are also heart-warming incentives: whoever trains the hardest and most seriously can be the squad leader and platoon commander and appointed on the spot! In the past, Ruzhou Wei's identity was useless, even if he was a low-level officer such as Xiaoqi and Zongqi, he didn't recognize it, it all depends on how he performs now. Many of the new platoon commanders and squad leaders were the most honest and bullied soldiers in the past, but now they are raising their eyebrows and training more actively.

In addition to queue training, the Ming army also attached great importance to internal affairs. In the past, many of the officers and soldiers of Ruzhou Wei were in the city, and as long as they went to the army every day, they could go home if they had nothing to do. Now this is not the case, all the officers and men of the division, including the wounded division commander Wu Mingming and the commander Li Shouyi, are all stationed in the tent-built barracks, and the barracks of the original Ruzhou Wei are all handed over to Luoyang Mansion. The cold protection performance of the tent is obviously not as good as that of the house, but the two top generals lead by example, who dares to say half a word.

According to Zhu Youzhen's instructions, Li Shouyi formulated a strict schedule of work and rest, and getting up, gathering, eating, training, and resting must be strictly implemented in accordance with the schedule, and even the toilet has been regulated. In addition, special attention was paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the barracks, and every military tent had to be neatly cleaned up and spotless, so that the soldiers had to fold tofu blocks.

In addition to these strict regulations, every day after dinner, the officers and men of the division had to study in groups. The learning content is also extensive, in addition to military regulations and military discipline, it also includes literacy and arithmetic. Of course, the most important thing is "ideological and political education," for which Zhu Youzhen has chosen a more understandable name: Zhiyi.

In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the division commander asked Li Shouyi to personally go down to a certain company every day to conduct education on "knowing righteousness." On the first night, he ran five companies in a row, and his voice was hoarse. By the time he arrived at the fifth company, the officers and men were deeply moved when they saw his hoarse voice and painful expression, and they all asked him to go back to his tent to rest.

Li Shouyi shook his head, signaled that he was fine, poured a breath of cold water into it, beckoned everyone to gather around him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, have you ever read the "Three Character Classic"? It doesn't matter if you haven't read it, today we will learn a sentence in it, which is called 'knowing honesty and shame, knowing etiquette and righteousness'. The state has four dimensions, which is the four words of 'courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame'. If the four dimensions are not open, the country will perish. Today, I will tell you what it means to be 'courteous, righteous, and honest'. ”

Then he explained in a way that ordinary people could understand: "Etiquette is etiquette and rules. Heaven and earth are the princes, and when they see it, they want to kowtow; Respecting the old and loving the young, abiding by the laws of the country, and not bullying the weak, this is etiquette. Righteousness means to speak of morality to people, justice to things, and courage to draw a sword to help when the road is uneven. Honesty means honesty, not greedy, not possessive, selfless; Shame is to know shame, self-esteem and self-respect. Anything that is unreasonable and contrary to conscience must not be done.

"What we are talking about now is called 'knowing righteousness', but in fact, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame are the same thing, and they are the most basic principles of our people's life. If you don't pay attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, you can't be regarded as a human being, and you are an animal that is inferior to pigs and dogs. Ordinary people are still like this, we are officials and soldiers, leading the court's fortunes, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the family and defending the country, are the requirements higher than the common people? ”

Next, Li Shouyi asked the soldiers to speak one by one, talking about their understanding of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame", and each of them gave an example of "knowing righteousness" and "injustice". Everyone was a little unable to let go at first, so Li Shouyi smiled and gave an example: "When I was a child, my family was very poor, and I saw that my neighbors raised chickens and often had eggs to eat, and I was so hungry. One day, I couldn't help it, so I went and stole a few eggs. As a result, my father found out and beat me so hard that my ass was redder than a monkey's ass. ”

Seeing the teacher's command to expose himself in public, everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Li Shouyi said with a straight face: "Although the matter is small, the truth of courtesy, righteousness and shame is all in it." Even if you are hungry and hungry, you can't steal anything, this is cheap; My father beat me for stealing, and this is righteousness. My father beat me, I didn't dare to fight back, this is the courtesy; Since I was beaten this time, I never dared to steal again, this is a shame. ”

Everyone listened attentively, and on the periphery of the crowd, Gu Xuan, who supported his body with a stick, was obviously listening to Zhu Youzhen, who was dressed in civilian clothes. Zhu Youzhen saw that Li Shouyi spoke in simple terms, and nodded his head again and again. Gou was obviously a little anxious, and asked in a low voice: "Holy Lord, according to this training method, when will the first division be able to go into battle to kill the enemy..."

"Sharpen the knife and don't mistake the woodcutter." Zhu Youzhen said solemnly, "It is more important for soldiers to understand etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and to know why they are fighting, than simple military training!" ”
