This is the simplest, most effective, and most direct method of military training.

Wang Chenhao changed the "Fifth Five-Year Plan" structure of the old army to a three-level structure of company, platoon, and squad, with training first conducted in squads, then squads merged into platoon training, and then platoons formed and then merged into companies.

These are not enough, Wang Chenhao remembered a plot in the Legend of the Condor Heroes. When the Mongol army attacked Xiangyang City, a Mongol officer stopped killing Guo Jing, and after returning, the Mongol Khan first killed him with the military method of the army, and then rewarded him for his meritorious service in attacking Xiangyang.

The Great Khan of the Mongolian army had clear rewards and punishments, making the Mongolian army invincible. This made Wang Chenhao realize that he must also be strict with his new army, with clear rewards and punishments. Therefore, Wang Chenhao rewarded those who bear hardships and stand hard work, strict discipline, and meet the standards in the training, and those who fail to meet the standards are left by the supervisors, and those who fail to meet the standards are severely punished for poor training or violation of discipline.

In the late Qing Empire, the matter of eating empty quotas and deducting military salaries in the army has become an "unspoken rule" that is no longer hidden, but if officers do not eat empty quotas, it has become an abnormal phenomenon to not deduct soldiers' salaries.

Wang Chenhao must strictly control this kind of [***] army atmosphere and not spread to his new army, otherwise everything will be in vain, and it will inevitably be an army with no combat effectiveness.

In order to show the difference between the new army and the old army, and at the same time to cultivate personal strength and cultivate the consciousness of absolute obedience among officers and men, Wang Chenhao changed the bad habit of the old army of eating empty quotas and deducting military salaries.

At the end of March, it had been a month since the training of the recruits, and at the end of the month, the officers and men were paid their salaries. When Wang Chenhao paid the salaries to the officers and soldiers, he personally supervised the battalion officers and paid the full amount of the military salaries to each soldier.

This soldier is most afraid that his boss will deduct his military salary, he is a poor family, and many soldiers' families are waiting for his military salary to sell grain and go to the pot, if he is deducted, it is undoubtedly the most angry thing for them. But on the other hand, when the soldiers saw that Wang Chenhao was dedicated to taking care of them and giving them a lot of general's salary, they suddenly had the idea that they would definitely not suffer a loss if they followed Wang Dashuai, and they were grateful to him, obeyed him, and followed him from the bottom of their hearts.

The foundation of an army is the soldiers, and a good commander must be a person who can get in touch with the soldiers.

Wang Chenhao is such a commander. In order to give the new officers and men a good impression of loving soldiers like sons, he often went deep into the battalions, approached the junior officers and soldiers, and could name almost all the officers at all levels, even the squad leaders, and understand their surnames and strengths and weaknesses, so that he could use his strengths.

Wang Chenhao also often came to the scene to watch the exercises, and the training of the Beiyang New Army was similar to that of the Martial Arts Academy, with a small practice every week and a big practice every month.

When the recruit training entered the second month, Tianjin was not as cold as in March, but the sea breeze was strong, and it was called a heart-warming coolness when it blew on the body. If it is a rainy day, the sea breeze is wrapped in ice and rain, and when it blows, it is three points colder than the winter of Laba.

Once, when I was watching at the beach, it suddenly rained, and the sea breeze rose, but Hannagan's stern German instructors did not disband the soldiers, and insisted that all the officers and soldiers train in the cold wind and rain.

The guard Li Guodong held up an umbrella for Wang Chenhao, and everyone near the beach did not prepare rain gear in advance, and Wang Chenhao looked a little outstanding.

This is absolutely not a no-go!

Wang Chenhao has always advocated that he should share weal and woe with the officers and soldiers, and that he should not just talk but not do it, but that he had to show the big guys something practical, even if it was a show, he would win the sympathy of his subordinates.

Wang Chenhao needed to buy people's hearts, and this was the opportunity, so he resolutely refused to let it go, shouting: "The brothers are all in the rain!" Give the umbrella to the secretary! ”

Li Guodong persuaded a few words, and when he saw Wang Chenhao's fierce color, he immediately sent the umbrella to Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen was suddenly flattered, and he was grateful to Wang Chenhao for his compassion, but he didn't dare to use an umbrella, and there were Jiang Guidi, Duan Qirui and other generals watching next to him!

Wang Shizhen returned the umbrella, and Wang Chenhao politely handed it over to the other generals. Wang Chenhao doesn't use umbrellas, how dare others use umbrellas? They have thanked Wang Chenhao for his compassion, and most of the generals who led the troops to fight had no scheming, and they were grateful for Wang Chenhao's favor.

Jiang Gui snorted coldly in his heart, he was a little unaccustomed to Wang Chenhao's approach, but he had to admit that his trick was beautiful, not only let all the soldiers see Wang Chenhao's side of sharing weal and woe with them, but also played an emotional card with the officers, and gained a lot.

The thoughts of the other old Huai army generals were similar to Jiang Gui's, and they secretly glanced at each other, and there was a message in their eyes: the future is terrifying!

Since this Hannagan has been authorized by Wang Chenhao, it can be said that he has organized this group of recruits to the death, and the training schedule is full every day, no matter what the weather is.

Today, Wang Chenhao can be regarded as a teacher, and he stood with him for two hours in the cold rain, his face was blue from the cold, and his upper and lower teeth slammed against each other uncontrollably.

But Wang Chenhao still persevered, and the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang New Army all saw it, and some people shouted that they were abused by foreign devils, and one hundred and twenty people refused to accept it. Now that the commander who saw their fine skin and tender meat was also accompanied, the soldiers who called themselves tough guys suddenly shut up.

On the bed in the living room of the palace, Wang Chenhao was draped in a big quilt and sneezed from time to time. Li Youyi, who was sitting next to her, was sometimes nervous and concerned about the cold and warmth, and sometimes counted him with a calm face. "Even if you want to win the hearts of the military, you shouldn't joke about your body like this!"

Looking at Youyi's disgusted face, Wang Chenhao couldn't help laughing and said: "This time I made a mistake, I thought it would be over in a while, but I never thought that Hannagan's brain was a tendon, and I couldn't hear polite words, but I was tired and was drenched in the rain for more than two hours." ”

Li Youyi chuckled, and said with a smile: "How can foreign devils understand the twists and turns of our Han people? You're asking for your own hardship. ”

Wang Chenhao thought about it and smiled bitterly.

At this time, Baoqin came in with a bowl of hot ginger soup, Li Youyi took it, blew it lightly for a while, and then handed it to Wang Chenhao when she felt that it was not hot.

Wang Chenhao tasted it and immediately didn't want to drink it, but Li Youyi pushed it to his mouth and said with a smile: "Good, drink it while it's hot!" ”

Well, it seems that Wang Chenhao often used to coax Li Youyi in the past, but this time it is the other way around.

Just as he was hesitating, Li Youyi's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of cunning, and when Wang Chenhao suddenly felt bad, Li Youyi had already reached out and pinched Wang Chenhao's nose, forcing him to open his mouth, and then poured him ginger soup while coaxing him.
