Chapter Ninety-Eight: Establishment of a Special Combat Team
Ji Yan said embarrassedly: "So, it's all about these two glasses of wine that you stay?" ”
"That's right!" Meng Ben nodded: "Ben has never been of any help to the king, but when he was about to say goodbye, he was treated with the king's wine, and he didn't want to reciprocate at all, for Ben, this is a great kindness." Although the pen is vulgar and www.biquge.info run, he never owes anyone, so he has to leave himself for the king to drive! ”
Ji Yan secretly called for luck, and took wine to entertain Meng Ben, although he did have the intention of entertaining distinguished guests, but the bigger purpose was to delay time, in order to be able to talk to him more, and then find an opportunity to leave him behind, which can be said to be full of utilitarianism. Unexpectedly, Meng Ben did not admit that he saved his family of three, but he was grateful for two glasses of liquor, which was really unexpected.
This also made him secretly vigilant in his heart, reminding himself not to look at the people of this era with the eyes of later generations. After coming to this era, although he has been working hard, he has never been able to fully integrate, and the crux of this is that he has always maintained the thinking of his previous life.
What was the past life like? It was a society with developed information and complete competition, and in order to win the competition, people climbed to the top, and they were all good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and were good at speculating and monopolizing. Due to the rapid development of society, the competition between enterprises tends to be white-hot, big fish eat small fish, fast fish eat slow fish, so that "result-oriented" has become the culture of most enterprises, everything only depends on the results, regardless of the process, such a culture does make many enterprises rise in a short period of time.
However, this culture has also cultivated the unscrupulous mentality of employees to achieve their goals, and a kind of interest relationship has been formed between people, less simple and sincere, and more sleek and utilitarian. Since Ji Yan comes from such an environment, he naturally has a deep-rooted utilitarian heart.
But this era is different, people are reluctant, life and death, and do not care much about personal gains and losses. You think things are extremely important to him, such as saving Meng Ben's family of three, but he doesn't care much; Things you think are nothing, such as entertaining Meng Ben with liquor, this is a very ordinary way of hospitality in later generations, but he sees it as more important than life.
But on the other hand, this era has something in common with his previous life. If we consider the major vassal states as large enterprises, we can apply the competition between enterprises to the competition between vassal states. The object of everyone's competition is also people, money, and territory, but the competition between enterprises is market share, and the competition between vassal states is land.
The same white-hot competition, will it change the simple and sincere heart of people in this era? Ji Yan felt that it should be, and there was already this trend, and now the "etiquette collapse" is the result of this competition, and when the Qin State unified the world, it gave birth to Zhang Liang's conspiracy.
After thinking about these things, Ji Changchang breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt especially valuable for Meng Ben's simple qualities, so he said in a deep voice: "Okay, in the future, the strong man will be the captain of my special combat team in Da Zhou, and he will be the same as the general of the forbidden army." ”
"Special Forces?" Meng Ben asked suspiciously.
"A unit like the Iron Eagle Ruishi of the Qin State, but the name is different."
"Oh!" Meng Ben said suddenly, and then shook his head again: "There are a total of 2,000 Iron Eagle Rui soldiers of the Qin State, and they are selected from the 200,000 new army, which happens to be one in a hundred. How many teams does Zhou Guo have? What's more, how can its combat power be compared with the new army of the Qin State? If you select people according to the standards of Iron Eagle Ruishi, I'm afraid that few people are qualified, or even none! ”
"What are the criteria for being selected as Iron Eagle Warriors?"
"The standard set by General Sima Cuo back then: the dismount foot battle is subject to surpassing Wei Wushu, and the horse riding battle is subject to surpassing Zhao Qi knights and Hun Hu cavalry." Meng Ben said slowly: "Its selection criteria are extremely harsh: first of all, the assessment of martial arts. The new army of the Qin State has 150,000 infantry soldiers and 50,000 cavalry, and those who can be selected as the Iron Eagle Warriors will win the top 10,000 people in foot combat and the top 5,000 people in cavalry battle. ”
"Fifteen thousand people were selected for the martial arts assessment, followed by the physical assessment. Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu to hold a spear in his hand, carry 20 long arrows and an iron-tired hard bow, and carry three days of military food, with a total weight of about 50 catties. On this basis, General Sima added a full suit of armor, a broad-bodied short sword, a fine iron dagger and a cowhide shield, with a total weight of about 80 catties. Only more than 5,000 people have passed this assessment. ”
Next, General Sima divided these people into five teams of 1,000 people to compete in battle formations. In the end, the two best thousand-man teams were left, which are now the two thousand Iron Eagle Warriors. ”
Speaking of this, Meng Ben looked at Ji Yan and said in a deep voice: "You're welcome, if you go head-to-head, it will be completely easy for an Iron Eagle Warrior to defeat ten Zhou army pawns; If the array attacks, these two thousand Iron Eagle Warriors can destroy the Zhou Chamber! ”
Ji Yan's heart was shocked, and he had a clearer understanding of the Iron Eagle Ruishi, not to mention their swordsmanship, foot combat, horse fighting, and formations, just carrying a weight of eighty catties, and a rapid march of a hundred miles and immediately putting into battle This kind of physique is terrifying to death.
At this time, one foot is equivalent to twenty-three centimeters in later generations, one step and six feet, which is about one meter and four, one mile and three hundred steps, almost four hundred meters, one hundred miles is equivalent to forty thousand meters, and the weight of eighty pounds is forty thousand meters, what an astonishing number! It seems that he was too merciful to the training of the forbidden army in the past, and he will have to increase the amount of training in the future.
"How did the Iron Eagle Warrior train to be so strong?"
Meng Ben's face changed slightly, and he said after a while: "That is an inhuman training. Every day, the rooster crows and runs for two hours with a load; After using the morning food, they will carry out martial arts confrontation, and everyone will fight hard, as long as they don't kill people. After the middle of the day, there is horse combat training, and then battle formation training. After the evening eclipse, I had to run for two hours with weights, and it was almost early in the morning when the training was over, and I only slept for more than two hours a day. ”
"After a day of training, the whole person collapsed, his eyes couldn't open at all, and he just wanted to fall asleep. But the feet are full of blisters, and the body is full of scars, if the medicine is not applied in time, these affected areas will soon fester, and many soldiers are eliminated or even die directly because of this reason. Therefore, I can't sleep, and I have to apply medicine to the affected area. There were no doctors in the army, so the soldiers had to deal with each other, and because of the lack of skill, small wounds were often turned into large wounds when applying medicine, making healing more difficult! Ay! As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, presumably having suffered this kind of torture in the first place.
Ji Yan empathized with his sigh and fully understood the pain, but it was precisely with this inhuman training that the Qin army became powerful today, so if you want to cultivate excellent warriors, brutal training is essential.
"General Meng is very familiar with the training of the Qin army, and it is just used to train our special combat team. This king intends to go to our 20,000 troops and pick out 1,000 people, and then train them according to the training methods of the Qin army, conduct an assessment once a month, eliminate some of them, and after a year, leave 300 people as your team. ”
"When we train, we need to have a few more doctors, and try not to let the soldiers quit because of injuries. Also, in terms of equipment, even if you ask for it, this king will let the Winter Official Mansion try to meet it as much as possible. In terms of personnel physique, we may not be able to compare with the Iron Eagle Ruishi in the short term, so we will find a way to use better equipment to close the gap between everyone. ”
