Chapter 15: My Army, My Soldiers (I)

The north wind is howling, and although the early spring in Fuzhou is not cold, the temperature is not high, and the maximum temperature can only reach 15 degrees. In the camp and colonel, 20,000 soldiers in armor stood tall. In front of the school grounds, there were several soldiers who had violated military orders and were being executed with canes, and the screams were endless. Although the cold wind blew on everyone's face, it also blew into everyone's heart.

"Raise your head, raise your chest, and tuck your belly! Do you have a donkey hair in your fucking ears? Don't you feel the shoulder off the wooden frame? The patrolling officer struck a soldier on the shoulder with a stick. The soldiers around him immediately woke up, raised their heads and stood straight. Each person has a wooden cross tied to their backs to show the regularity of the movements.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World said, the punishment will be increased today, and the penultimate three battalions that have been punished the most can't eat meat today, who the hell has affected his brother, Lao Tzu can't spare him." Hao Qingshan, the leader of the mountain-shaped battalion, also stood motionless in front of the soldiers, yelling at the soldiers.

Facing the front of the Shanzi battalion, on the high platform, Geng Jingzhong and all the generals stood straight like the soldiers for more than an hour, with His Royal Highness the Prince and the generals as an example, and the soldiers below did not dare to slack off at all, but anyone who disturbed was dragged out by the inspector and punished with a cane.

This is already the seventh day of new-style military training after the New Year, and the soldiers are called to the school field early every day to assemble, either standing straight or running around the mountain, and the cycle repeats, from the prince to the general, down to the ordinary soldiers, without exception. They have never trained like this before, but with Geng Jingzhong, the noble prince of the world, accompanying them to train, all the soldiers just complained like that. What they don't know is that there are still many training methods that have not been shown in the future, otherwise I really don't know what expressions will be!

"Okay, when the time comes, everyone will rest on the spot for a quarter of an hour, drink water when they should drink water, and go to the thatched hut when they should go to the thatched house." The herald looked at the Western watch given by Geng Jingzhong and announced loudly into the loudspeaker.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the soldiers on the field sat down on the ground as if they had discussed it.

"Oh, mother, I'm tired!"

"My feet are almost gone"

"Water, pillar, give me my water bladder, I'm dying of thirst!"

The whole camp was the same everywhere, a commotion sounded, and on the high platform, Geng Jingzhong and the generals also sat down on the steps without any image, and picked up the water bladder and poured it violently.

"Oh, it's cool, now I feel that drinking this water is better than drinking tea!" Deputy General Ma Jiuyu said, picked up the water bladder and poured it again.

"You think it's in your house! I still drink tea, and now if I give you a cup of tea, your old horse can swallow the tea leaves together! The adjutant general next to him, Zeng Yangxing, immediately laughed.

"Hahaha!" The generals next to him burst into laughter.

"But seriously, have you noticed? After these days of training, the original change in the battle camp is not too obvious, but the change on the side of the green battalion is great. Shizi, your method is really effective, if you persist for a month, those green battalion soldiers will become elite soldiers! The commander Zhong Dayuan said to Geng Jingzhong, but he really admired this master.

"That is, it turns out that the old man of the green battalion really can't look down on it, it's okay to guard the place and look at the city gate, if you really want to fight, it's cannon fodder, but now it's different, and the spirit is not inferior to the war barracks. Lao Zhang, you have made a lot of money! Deputy General Ma Jiuyu looked envious and jealous. Originally, the war battalion was under his command, and the green battalion was the commander of Zeng Yang, although the number of green battalion soldiers was almost three times that of the war battalion, but he was not rare at all, but now the situation is very different.

"Hehe, you just envy it! But now there are quite a lot of voices in the camp complaining. ”

"Anyone who can't endure hardship will be cleared out, and no one will be left. Lao Tzu raises them every day, and if he wants to die, he can't stand this little suffering, so invite him home to drink porridge. Geng Jingzhong didn't care, the elite soldiers he wanted took this opportunity to get rid of all those troubled days.

"Hey, most of those guys are just whining, the prince specially sent people out to sea to fish, raise fat pigs, let them eat all day long, what kind of dissatisfaction, if he is really kicked out, he can't eat a meal here for a year."

"Da Yuan is right, the prince treats them so well, if they don't know what to do, then don't want such soldiers, Lao Tzu wants to bring elite soldiers, don't be bad!" The green battalion soldiers led by the adjutant general have always had little combat effectiveness, but this time they were ruthless and drilled, which was even stricter than that of the war barracks.

"Okay, you will all bring more soldiers in the future, and you will all give me a good drill!"

"The prince wants to recruit soldiers?" Adjutant General Ma Jiuyu asked; Several other generals also immediately stuck their heads over.

"Of course, don't you want to bring more soldiers?"

"No, no, of course not, the more the merrier!" The generals shook their heads quickly and joked, this is related to their own promotion and future, how can a general dislike his many soldiers.

"You are all old people who have followed your father, look at what development we have made in the past ten years, not only has we not improved, but our strength has regressed a little. Look at Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, who has been in Yunnan for more than ten years, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, you don't envy it! ”

"That's that, it's getting bigger!"

"When the time comes, gather quickly and continue to practice." Before you know it, the time has come, and the herald begins to give orders.

"Alright, it's time, line up quickly! Continue to stand in a military posture, and after the good meal, I am a little hungry! With that, Geng Jingzhong took the lead and stood up. Another round of training began.

If an army wants to have the strongest combat effectiveness, the most important point is to ensure the implementation of military orders! "There are no fathers and sons in the army, and the military order is like a mountain!" It must not be an empty word, no matter who you are, no matter what your identity is, as long as you become a soldier, the first thing you have to learn is 'obedience', 'obedience', or 'obedience'! Only then will this army be combat-ready.

Therefore, in the past few days, Geng Jingzhong did not add any other fancy actions, most of the time he only had a military posture, and everyone, from himself to ordinary soldiers, were all nailed to the school field like wooden stakes. Almost all the soldiers who deliberately dragged out their duties without obeying military orders were driven out of the barracks.

In the past 100 years, the military posture is the most test of people's patience, perseverance, and overall obedience, in this present, the general commands the troops, all rely on the flag or the supervision of low-level officers at all levels, after the order is transmitted, the implementation is slow, the execution is not strong, and the integrity and combat effectiveness of the troops are greatly reduced!

There were hundreds of thousands of border soldiers in the former Ming Kong, and they did not dare to fight when they encountered thousands of Eight Banners, but instead spread the ridiculous rumor that the Jurchens were not satisfied with 10,000 and were invincible. Before the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the 20 th century, the "Theory of the Japanese Army's Ten Days of Death in China" and "The Theory of the Japanese Army's March Death in China" spread all over the sky, and finally disappeared as well.

You don't see the Yue family's army, well-trained, disciplined, orderly advance and retreat, neat and uniform, that is called a brave and good fighter. The will of the whole army is extremely tenacious, "freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering", so there is a saying that "it is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the army of the Yue family". Looking at the white pole soldiers more than 20 years ago, they were equally well-trained, disciplined, orderly in advance and retreat, and uniform, which made the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry suffer a lot. In the end, it was the Qing army that transferred a large number of red-coated artillery to annihilate the Ming army, but the Eight Banners Army also suffered heavy casualties.

Their combat effectiveness comes from the integrity of the army, even if there are tens of millions of people, they are still neat and uniform! These have to be obtained by a lot of training and sweat!

Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" has a saying: "The dignified array, thousands of queues to go forward, the brave can not be first, the cowardly cannot be behind, among the ten thousand armies, but like one person, in this way, you can be invincible in the world!" "Every invincible army has done just that!

Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has only been in charge of the capital for more than ten years, and the entire Southern Ming Dynasty has just been exterminated, and the blood of the Han sons and daughters has not been exhausted. It's a pity that the three hundred years of stable life of the Ming Dynasty have wiped out the blood and courage of this nation, and the gentry, the self-proclaimed saints, and the self-righteous scholars talk about how to serve the country loyally and be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and in order to compete for power and profit, they secretly do everything they can, regardless of the lives of the people. When the nation was really in danger and was about to be wiped out, they immediately changed their faces and threw themselves into the arms of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! Find out what is the reason why the great wisdom has been exhausted, the emperor is impermanent, and only the virtuous live in it, etc., to justify their behavior.
