"This official knows, if I get rid of those two people, you can't figure it out, right?"

The eight people all bowed their heads and stood in front of Yang Chao's table.

Even Zhao Kang lost his spirit, Yang Chao asked him to lead the team to train, but he messed up, not only did he not bring good soldiers, but he got two people away, although the two people disobeyed him and made him very angry, but he didn't want them to go.

These soldiers are all from a hundred households, they don't see each other when they look down, and they are all about the same age, so they can basically be said to have grown up together, so the two of them were driven away because of Zhao Kang, which made Zhao Kang feel very uncomfortable.

"You all know that Qi Jiguang is handsome, right?"

Several people raised their heads slightly.

"You know what!"

Yang Chao shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Unison.

Yang Chao nodded: "It was the official who asked Zhao Kang to lead the troops, his words are equivalent to my words, and disobedience is disobedience." Do you know what Qi Dashuai will do? ”

Everyone shook their heads.

Yang Chao continued: "Qi Dashuai will make the little soldier kneel on the ground, and then cut off his nose and ears. ”

Everyone looked horrified.

Only then did Yang Chao say: "You now know that the punishment of this official is not heavy." ”

Only then did they nod their heads in confusion.

Yang Chao said: "From now on, I will appoint Zhao Kang as your team leader. ”

Zhao Kang raised his head, he finally became an official, but he couldn't bear it in his heart, did the official just want to step on others.

Just been taught a lesson, and two people were driven away, at this time, Yang Chao raised his cousin to be the team, and no one dared to object.

In fact, there is no reason to object, and they all look like they should be like this, is the reason, it is naturally because Zhao Kang is Yang Chao's cousin, and it is natural to take care of his relatives these years, and no one thinks it is wrong.

As for meritocracy, it was the clamor of the literati in the heyday. The reason is that when the troubled times fought the world, these literati hid far away, and only their relatives gathered together and then put their heads on the waistband of their trousers to fight, but when the world was calm, the literati stood up and said that they would appoint people on the basis of merit, who were sages, of course, these literati.

Sadly, the Chinese literati had held the discourse for thousands of years, and the rulers had to accept this argument and wanted to flaunt their openness on meritocracy.

It's a pity that meritocracy is still too extravagant for Yang Chao. Yang Chao can only try to use his relatives now, because he is more assured, it is not that his relatives are more moral and loyal than others, but because the cost of his relatives betraying him is greater, a person who is not a relative betrays his master, although he will also be blamed, but if a relative betrays his relatives, it is not just an accusation, it is to be poked in the backbone and leave a stench for thousands of years.

Yang Chao now urgently needs to improve his officer rank system, and to give priority to promoting people who make him more at ease, so he has to promote Zhao Kang first, although Zhao Kang is not better than others, but not worse than others, if you have to choose an officer, Yang Chao is more inclined to Zhao Kang.

But other people's psychology, Yang Chao can't ignore it, he has prepared a whole set of rhetoric, but now it seems that it is useless, because no one feels that it is wrong to promote Zhao Kang, so there is no need to explain his cronyism, but should continue to agitate, so that everyone has the ambition of "wanting to be a general".

Yang Chao smiled: "You must be thinking, Zhao Kang is my cousin, so I promoted him, right." That's right, you think well, Zhao Kang is my cousin, but none of you are my cousins, nephews, cousins, Zhao Kang can be an officer today, and you can be an officer tomorrow. ”

Yang Chao said, seeing that everyone's morale was not as high as he imagined, he thought for a while and continued: "But you don't think that this official only has you eight soldiers. This officer is the commander-in-chief, and he can have more than 400 soldiers under his command. ”

At this time, someone's demeanor was a little shaken, and Yang Chao hit the railway while it was hot: "As long as you obey the order, when you recruit a hundred soldiers, you will all be in the team, or even the flag leader." ”

At this time, those few people showed a look of eagerness, and they decided in their hearts that they really had a great opportunity.

Yang Chao continued: "Tomorrow, you will follow me to get weapons, and then we will practice martial arts. ”

As soon as they heard about practicing martial arts, several people had different degrees of expectations, they were all teenagers, and who didn't like to dance with knives and guns.

Early the next morning, I went to the Military Bureau, and my father accompanied him to meet with the eunuchs of the Supervision Bureau and the civil officials of the Supervision Bureau, and proposed that he hoped to receive equipment.

Originally, the procedure for receiving military funds was very complicated, and it was necessary to first go to the Ministry of War to apply, and then the Ministry of War would verify it, determine the number of troops, check the gap, and then issue a document and collect it with the certificate of the Ministry of War.

But there is a shortcut, and that is to open the way with money.

Yang Chao has a big seal as evidence, and if he signs and draws a pledge, he can receive military funds.

In the storeroom of the War Bureau, there are many weapons, armor, and cotton armor.

But the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were ragged one by one, and few officers were willing to apply for a change of uniform.

Because the War Bureau has its own rules, if you want to receive things from the official treasury, you must give money, regardless of whether you are the army of the Ming Dynasty or not.

Yang Chao directly gave Gonggong Li a hundred taels of silver, and Gonggong Li sent someone to take Yang Chao to get weapons and military uniforms.

Yang Chao led his subordinates, under the leadership of the little eunuch, into the treasury together, and received 100 pieces of cotton armor, 10 waist knives, 10 bows, 1,000 arrows, and 100 spears.

In fact, there were still a large number of bird guns stored in the warehouse, which made Yang Chao greedy for a while, but in the end he didn't take it, because Yang Chao saw from the records of Qi Jiguang that the bird guns in the Ming Dynasty were extremely unreliable and often exploded.

As a craftsman, Yang Chao is clear about these doorways, so he has no hope for the quality of the weapons in the War Bureau, and only dares to take simple spears, and does not dare to touch those birds with complex structures.

The last officer brought the register, and after checking the registration and making the register, he brought it over and asked Yang Chao to draw it.

Yang Chao saw that on the roster, he actually received 300 cotton armor, 100 waist knives, 100 bows, 3,000 arrows, and 300 spears.

This is far beyond the amount he received, obviously there is greasy and moisture, but this is the unspoken rule, Yang Chao can't fight it now, so he can only sign and draw it obediently.

After drawing the pledge by himself, the account of the War Bureau can be offset against this year's tasks, and those things that are overreported, obviously the War Bureau will not do it, but they have received materials from the imperial court with practical account books, or received money for materials.

Naturally, the money was divided among officials at all levels, and the materials were used to build other things and then sell them.

Although Yang Chao sighed in his heart, he knew that it was also beneficial to share the spoils with these corrupt officials in the war bureau, and he was just digging the foot of the wall of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Chao is the general of the navy and has the right to receive military funds from the War Bureau, but the use of these is also a general ceiling, and he will not have the right to receive it in the next few years.

It is equivalent to Yang Chao using his quota for several years, plus bribes, in exchange for these materials.

But for Yang Chao, it is not a loss, anyway, if he chooses to spend money to order with a blacksmith on the street, a hundred taels of silver is far from being able to buy these military funds.

Yang Chao saves money, officials benefit, and no one suffers, except for the Ming court!

After the weapons were brought back and distributed, everyone was very happy, after all, they were all men, and they were not very old, the oldest was only seventeen years old, how could there be men, how could there be young people who did not like weapons.

If it weren't for the fact that those scholars were educated since childhood, developed a kind of despise for the courage of the horseman, and were busy with the imperial examination, I am afraid that Xiucai might not have disliked weapons.

However, among these weapons, the Ming Huang waist knife is the most popular, followed by the bow and arrow, and the spear, which has the largest number of weapons, is not popular.

There were only ten waist knives, Yang Chao used one himself, gave one to Zhao Kang, and sealed the rest.

Yang Chao wanted to use this kind of differential treatment to make the soldiers realize that there is a difference between officers and soldiers, and only when there is a comparison can there be an upward motivation.

Spears and bows and arrows were not issued for the time being, and they were all sealed first.

Then he led the soldiers to clear out a vegetable garden near the south wall, about three points of land, and planted standing logs on it.

Standing on a tree one person high, and wrapped it with thatch, tied tightly with a straw mat on the outside, and marked the position of the chest, abdomen, and head with black lacquer to make a target.

It took three days to get nine targets under the wall.

Yang Chaocai was issued a spear per person, including one for himself.

Yang Chao trained his troops and also trained himself.

Because the purpose of military training is to enable soldiers to have combat effectiveness, not only to win battles, but also to hope that soldiers can survive.

Winning and surviving are the two most important things for an army, and there is often no conflict between the two things, and the army that wins the battle can always survive, and the army that always loses the battle can escape once or twice, and there is always a time when it is annihilated.

Yang Chao trained the soldiers in order for them to survive, and he didn't want to die himself, so he practiced himself.

"Ready, stab!"

Yang Chao gave an order, and he also followed the assassination, aiming at the target's chest, but it was the head that was stabbed.

But Yang Chao himself doesn't have kung fu and doesn't know martial arts, but the clips he saw from film and television dramas are too fake.

can only grope step by step, so one person issued a gun, Yang Chao thought to himself, the stab is accurate, the stab is ruthless, it will be useful after all.

"Ready, Thorn!"

"Kill!"

A week later, the order was also changed, from the initial random random assassination to the order of stabbing the head, chest, and abdomen.

At the same time, after Yang Chao gave the order, he assassinated at the same time, and shouted 'kill' in his mouth, which seemed very imposing.

Of the thirty soldiers, there were only eight left, almost one of the four.

Those who stay are indeed stronger than those who leave, both in obedience and understanding.

The assassination training is also very good, and there are even a few, much better than Yang Chao himself, and the assassination is more accurate and ruthless.

Not surprisingly, this is the most basic team of Yang Chao's future army. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
