PS: Ask for a monthly pass

After explaining the matter, Yang He returned to the recruit camp.

Now that Zhang Fengwu is in charge of the people's livelihood and the logistics of the army is handled by Li Maochun and Zhao Liangsong, Yang He can focus on training new recruits by solving the seed problem.

There are three main trainings that Yang He personally grasped, the first is long-distance running, twice a day in the morning and evening, each time running ten miles, considering the weakness of the recruits, Yang He did not ask the recruits to increase their weights when they first practiced long-distance running.

The second is standing training, standing for half an hour every morning, and the requirement is to be motionless.

The third is lying down training, lying down for half an hour every afternoon, and the requirements are the same as standing.

Including those who served as instructors, they didn't quite understand the last two trainings that Yang He captured. They don't understand the use of training standing and lying down, and whether they can stand still or lie motionless on their stomachs when fighting. And there is no belief that anyone can stand and lie motionless for half an hour.

Yang He didn't explain this, but just told everyone that this is an order, and if you don't obey the order, you will roll up and roll up.

Then Yang He personally demonstrated to everyone, and the time of Yang He's demonstration was an hour.

Everyone just watched Yang He stand motionless for an hour, and then lie motionless for another hour.

With Yang He's personal demonstration, and Yang He's threat of expulsion from the barracks, where do these people dare to object?

But for those recruits, at the beginning they simply can't stand and lie motionless.

Then, they found that Yang He came out with a whip. Whoever dares to move, Yang He's whip will be drawn on whoever is on his body. Smoke wherever you move.

I saw someone being whipped to the point that his skin was torn apart. Where do the recruits dare to move. One by one, they gritted their teeth and stared.

Of course, Yang He did not blindly use punishment.

Yang He knows very well that soldiers trained by punishment will make soldiers resentful of instructors, and soldiers will not have motivation to train, and if you want soldiers to be motivated, you must also have a reward system.

Yang He told the recruits that he would reward them based on their performance.

For example, the first soldier who did not move for half an hour was rewarded with a silver tael. The second one will be rewarded with eight silver coins, the third one will be rewarded with five silver coins, the soldier who can do it for five consecutive days will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and the soldier who can do it for ten consecutive days will be rewarded with one tael of silver......

These recruits are all children of poor families, most of them have never seen what the silver looks like, and when they saw Yang He putting the silver in front of him, their eyes lit up, and they all said that they wanted to get the silver reward.

With the system of rewards and punishments, the enthusiasm of the recruits was mobilized at once.

However, Yang He believes that with clear rewards and punishments, he can only train troops with combat effectiveness, but he cannot train troops with descendants.

And Yang He wants to build more than just a fighting force. This force is also needed to become his descendant.

What the descendant army is, it doesn't matter what it does. This army is willing to follow itself and serve its own death.

Therefore, if you want to make this army your own descendant, it is far from enough to have a system of rewards and punishments.

After careful consideration, Yang He did two things, the first thing was to ask the logistics staff to raise the food standard of the recruits, three meals a day, two meals at noon and two meals at night must be guaranteed to have meat.

For these recruits from poor backgrounds, they may not have eaten meat a few times a year before, but now, here, they can eat meat every day.

Of course, Yang He did not provide meat to the recruits to satisfy their appetites, mainly because these recruits were at the age of development, and eating more meat could make their bodies develop better and be stronger.

The second thing Yang He did was to ask the instructors to understand the family situation of the recruits, and if the family members were sick, they would find Lang Zhong to treat their families, and if there were difficulties at home, they would solve the difficulties for them.

At this time, the common people were very simple, although they were illiterate and uneducated, but they knew that they would be good to whoever was good to them.

Yang He's father's general training and care made these recruits feel inexplicable, and consciously followed a person like Yang He, even if it was worth it for Yang He.

The punishment, reward, and Yang He's considerate care in life stimulated the recruits' endless motivation to meet Yang He's requirements one by one.

In fact, this kind of training is only difficult at the beginning, and after a period of training, you can stick to it.

However, Yang He obviously didn't intend to make these recruits feel better, and soon Yang He's tricks came.

The instructors were sent by Yang He to the mountains to catch snakes, and after the snakes were caught, they suddenly remained at their feet when the recruits were not paying attention.

When a recruit suddenly sees a snake, he will inevitably panic, and then these panicked recruits will soon feel the pain of the whip on their bodies.

After being whipped, the recruits finally learned to concentrate and not be distracted by external objects.

Then, the battle-hardened soldiers who served as instructors found that the recruits they had trained had completely shed their childish eyes and replaced them with resolute ones.

Only then did Yang He tell them why he was training recruits like this, which was training the will of the soldiers.

An army with a will will not fear any strong enemy, even if there is only one person left, it will fight to the end.

In addition to the daily routine of physical training and mental training, Yang He also asked the recruits to read and write.

Yang He recruited a total of 40 teaching gentlemen this time, and each teacher had to teach an average of 30 recruits.

Yang He asked the gentleman to teach these recruits at least ten words every day.

For the people of this era, they did not understand the use of making soldiers literate at all, they thought that soldiers only needed to know their own names.

But Yang He knows that a literate army is completely different from an uneducated army.

A literate army is more qualified than an uneducated army, they can understand the strategy and tactics of their superiors more quickly, and similarly literate soldiers are more likely to become officers, and the higher the quality of an army's officers, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the army.

In fact, Yang He's purpose is to train all these people into officers, and with such a group of officers, Yang He can use this as a basis to rapidly expand the army in the future.

To Yang He's surprise, he found several very promising young people among Mr. Teaching.

The reason why Yang He felt that these people had a future was because he found that these teaching gentlemen actually trained with the recruits.

Yang He knew very well that at this time, scholars looked down on soldiers.

But these young scholars were willing to train with the recruits, and two of them trained as hard as the recruits. There is no doubt that they trained so hard in the hope that they would be able to make contributions on the battlefield in the future.

Yang He inquired, one of these two people is named Chen Lihong, the word Zhengfu, the name Feihong, is twenty-two years old this year.

Chen Lihong was originally a student in Jiangnan, because he offended the local magnates, he came to Funing County to join an old friend of his father, and he didn't want Chen Lihong to come to Funing County, his father's old friend had passed away, Chen Lihong was desperate, and it happened that Yang He was recruiting Mr. Teacher, so he came to apply.

Chen Lihong told Yang He frankly that his fame had been removed by the local academic and political revolution, and there was basically no hope of participating in the imperial examination in this life, and he himself had no idea of the imperial examination, but he was not willing to spend the rest of his life on this plain, he knew that if he wanted to come out, he could only make contributions on the battlefield.

Chen Lihong also told Yang He that he originally wanted to sign up to be a soldier, but Yang He had an age limit for recruitment, and he was too old, so he didn't become a soldier.

Yang He did not turn Chen Lihong into a soldier because of his words, but let Chen Lihong continue to serve as a teacher.

Yang He didn't turn Chen Lihong into a soldier in fact, he wanted to test him, he wanted to see if Chen Lihong would be discouraged by his words.

To Yang He's surprise, Chen Lihong was not discouraged by his words, and trained with the recruits as usual every day, and worked harder than before.

Opportunity is for those who are prepared, Yang He understands this very well, he knows that people like Chen Lihong will get ahead one day sooner or later, and such a talent is in front of him, Yang He will naturally not miss it.

Then Yang He had a careful talk with Chen Lihong.

Yang He told Chen Lihong that he should continue to teach and continue to train, and in time, Yang He was ready to promote him to an instructor, and once there was a war, he would immediately turn Chen Lihong into an officer and let him lead a sentry.

At the same time, Yang He also told Chen Lihong that if he wants to get ahead, Chen Lihong is not enough now, and Yang He hopes that Chen Lihong can read some military books and learn how to use soldiers, so that he can lead an army alone in the future.

Chen Lihong thought deeply of Yang He's words, and he greatly admired Yang He's ability.

Although he came to Funing County for a short time, Yang He had a good relationship with the magistrate of Funing County in just a few days, and then turned the clouds and rain in Funing County, which he saw in his eyes.

Chen Lihong has never seen anyone with Yang He's skills and scheming.

Seeing what Yang He did and comparing what he did before, Chen Lihong's first reaction was that he had read all his previous books in vain.

Chen Lihong knows that it is undoubtedly risky to do things with someone like Yang He, but the chances are far greater than those of following a mediocre person.

Chen Lihong decided to follow Yang He, he wanted to gamble and gamble on his future fate.

Another talent discovered by Yang He is called Yang Xiaoheng.

Yang Xiaoheng, whose name is Zhongwei, is a native of Liaodong, a student, and is twenty-three years old.

Yang Xiaoheng's family all died at the hands of Jianlu, and it can be said that he had a deep blood feud with Jianlu.

Yang Xiaoheng knew that if he wanted revenge, it was useless to study, and he could only rely on knives and guns.

Like Chen Lihong, Yang Xiaoheng originally wanted to be a soldier, but unfortunately he didn't because of his age, and in order to make a living, Yang Xiaoheng had to apply for a teacher. Yang Xiaoheng knows very well that if you want to take revenge, you must first live.

Then, unlike Chen Lihong's purpose, Yang Xiaoheng trained with recruits not to get ahead, but to learn the skills of killing enemies. (To be continued......)
