Sun Yuan: "It seems that everyone has opinions on pressing the quilt, not only pressing the quilt, but also having many opinions on the rules set by the general in the army. ”

When the donkey heard Sun Yuan ask, he was a little embarrassed and said, "The general has never led a soldier before, so naturally he doesn't know how to train this soldier." Our border army didn't train soldiers like this before. However, since the general has set this rule, our subordinates will follow it. The tone of his voice still seemed to be disapproving.

"How did the border army train its soldiers, and in the end, they were not defeated by the thief army and Jiannu."

"This ......," the donkey was speechless.

Sun Yuan said patiently: "Indeed, on the surface, it seems that there is no point in pressing the quilt. As you said, even if the quilt can be folded to the edges and corners to stab a person to death, what if the battlefield does not need it. In fact, the quilt should be folded like this, not for the sake of folding, but to cultivate your discipline, you can think about it carefully, other people's quilts are folded very well, but your quilts are crooked and cracked, in the army group, don't you feel embarrassed?"

"The army is highly consistent, and it will not tolerate anyone to drag its feet, everything is done bit by bit, if a soldier can't even fold a quilt and other basic things, do you think the army will want him? Besides, this is a manifestation of housekeeping, not doing something meaningless, always saying that folding quilts is useless, folding quilts is useless, so what are you doing and what am I useful? I don't want to do the most basic things. Do you want to build a castle in the sky? ”

Sun Yuan's words became more and more severe: "The army is a collective, a disciplined team, and when an order is given, no matter how ruthless and ridiculous it is, you must carry it out." Because of this, there must be rules for everything from the execution of military orders, to what the quilt should be folded into, how to place the bowls, and how to put the face towel to wipe the face, so that the soldiers know what to do is right. Otherwise, they will be severely punished by military law. Do you understand? ”

Although the generals still didn't understand, they had to nod.

Sun Yuan: "Not only the soldiers, but also you officers must lead by example, and you must do better than your men." From this day on, you will all move to the barracks and live with the soldiers, eating and sleeping with the soldiers. Of course ......"

He pondered for a moment: "Fei Hong doesn't have to go over because he has other military affairs. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Starting tomorrow is the day of recruit training, and General Ben will also go in person." You are all officers, I hope you don't embarrass yourself in front of your subordinates, and break up the meeting! ”

Looking at the backs of the generals, Sun Yuan knew that they still had new doubts about their never-before-seen training methods. But the army is like this, when the order is issued, you don't have to think about anything, just do what you are told.

I think it's such a thing as pressing the quilt, which seems to have nothing to do with combat, but it can best cultivate the obedience of soldiers.

As he said to everyone just now, many of the ornaments of the modern army are actually based on a variety of psychological cues. From the little details to regulate the behavior of soldiers, from walking and talking to eating and sleeping, they give them the implication that obedience is their duty. After a long time, a disciplined team is formed.

The army, to put it bluntly, does not need the so-called personality at all. Any soldier with a different mind must be wiped out of the mess in his head.

In fact, the ancient famous generals also attached great importance to the cultivation of soldiers' obedience, paid attention to erasing the so-called personal special of soldiers, and cultivated a thousand-faced, clone-like army is the ultimate ideal of famous generals. However, because of the relationship between science and insight, the ancients did not know so many training methods. Therefore, when selecting soldiers, the military god Qi Jiguang likes the kind of honest and simple-minded peasant son the most, but as for the urban soldiers, he doesn't need one. Without him, the rural soldiers have no personality, and a blank piece of paper is easy to paint.

In later generations, there was a lot of controversy about the People's Liberation Army pressing the quilt. However, it must not be otherwise, the People's Liberation Army before the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea really deserves the title of the world's first-rate infantry. Even if you encounter the so-called joint ****, you can make a tie on the 38th parallel.

Even so, many of the training methods of later generations can also be transplanted to this era.

Sun Yuan also figured out this matter, the physical fitness of his soldiers was too poor, and he was really pulled into the battlefield, but he was afraid that he was not someone else's opponent at all. If you want to train a strong army, you can only work on obedience and discipline. In this way, you may be able to wrench your wrist with the Eight Flags. As for the peasant army and the Ming army, if Sun Yuan's army is trained, to be honest, he doesn't take these two garbage troops seriously.

It has been two days since the new recruits joined the army, they have become familiar with the life in the barracks, they have learned the rules of the army, and they will be able to carry out basic training starting tomorrow.

The recruit training lasted for two months, and Sun Yuan sat on a chair and looked through his training plan to see if there was anything else he hadn't thought of.

After pondering for a long time, I found that there was no omission, so I nodded with satisfaction.

During these two months, the recruits are trained in a platoon, and the key to victory on the battlefield is to maintain a tight formation at all times, even if the enemy's cavalry rushes in front of them, they can calmly shoot, reload, and shoot again, and suppress the enemy's attack with a dense barrage. If the formation is out of shape and the enemy rushes into the formation, the musketeers will not be able to fight back at all, and when the time comes, it will basically be a one-sided massacre.

By the way, you have to keep up with your physical training.

Sun Yuan's soldiers were in poor health, and as far as he knew, many of them were less than 1.6 meters tall and a little fatter than 100 pounds. The weight even reached a staggering eighty pounds, which is really miserable!

This matter must not be urgent, and it cannot be increased at the beginning, but must be gradual. Moreover, it is necessary to supplement enough protein, otherwise the soldiers will really be wasted.

The best way to supplement protein is undoubtedly meat, eggs, and milk, and now Sun Yuan can't make the soldiers have meat for a meal, but it's still okay to see meat once every two days, and you have to take care of enough meals on weekdays.

In the past two days, because of the meat in the meal, the boss has begun to complain, saying that the general's money is not enough at all. Even if the meat is eaten once every two days, the troops will not be able to sustain it for a year, and they will have to find a way to get some military expenses from other places.

Money is a thing, Sun Yuan used to be a small boss, and he thought that he could think of a way to get rich no matter what. Before coming to Ningxiang, he also thought of several ideas.

But at first glance, it is not realistic at all.

Indeed, there is gold everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, but so what?

Caoyun, that is the governor of Caoyun is in charge, and there are soldiers along the river, setting up cards and guards. Moreover, the interest groups involved in this industry are too big, and Sun Yuan didn't know that such a small Qianhu officer could stretch out his hand. Of course, Huaibei salt is also very attractive, but the imperial court has a salt transportation yamen in Huaibei, and salt is a state monopoly, let alone a little Sun Yuan can put his beak. As for the smuggled salt, the amount is too small to be used to raise soldiers.

"It seems that we still have to go to war, to feed the soldiers, to feed the war with the war, half a year should be enough." Touching his chin, Sun Yuan thought about it again: "The training of recruits lasts for two months, and when the time comes, the first batch of muskets should also be made." ”

According to the speed of Blacksmith Cui, ten qualified barrels can be made in one day, and in sixty days, six hundred guns are still possible.
