"At this time, it doesn't matter if there is a problem, if you are afraid, you are afraid that there will be a problem on the battlefield!" Zhao Pu said, "Take out the recent training syllabus, let me take a look?" ”

"Yes!"

Since its formation, the Eight-Character Army has had the habit of drawing up a training syllabus, which records the time to get up, the content of training, the results of the assessment every 10 days, disciplinary violations, food, and other aspects.

Looking at the training plan of the Eight-Character Army, Zhao Pu nodded, the training syllabus was still three months ago, that is, the syllabus he formulated when he was busy as the emperor. In other words, since March, the content of the training syllabus has not changed significantly.

Judging from this training program, the overall combat effectiveness of the Bazi Army has not decreased much, nor has it improved much.

"Everything is false, but what the eye sees is real! Let's go to school! ”

Zhao Pu closed the training syllabus and said calmly.

When he arrived at the school, Zhao Pu began to review the troops, and the content was still the same, Fenglin Volcano.

Wind refers to the speed of marching, and the race is the ability to run; Lin, the line is neat, the formation is tight, and it is unbreakable; Fire, which refers to the ferocity of attack, like a burning fire; Mountain, pay attention to immovable as a mountain, inner tenacity.

There are only these four items in the assessment.

Just do what you say, without any ambiguity!

At the sound of an order, the assessment begins. The whole army, about 20,000 men, began to carry heavy loads and hurried forward to reach the appointed destination, which was victory. The standard of the ancient Wei warriors, the soldiers wore triple armor, held a sword with a sword, exercised a crossbow of 12 stones, and carried 50 crossbow arrows in the negative arrow bag, carrying three days' rations, and could walk a hundred miles in half a day.

In the previous assessments, we learned from Wei Wushu, who was required to carry forty pounds of heavy objects, hold weapons, carry half-day rations, and march eighty miles in half a day.

Those who can do it are qualified, and those who can't do it are eliminated,

It mainly tests physical strength and endurance, and in the era of cold weapons, those with strong physical strength have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat; If you have a strong running ability, you can better run the enemy and run better.

What Zhao Pu hates the most is that he can't run when he can't beat the enemy, and he can't catch up when he can beat the enemy.

"It's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk, say a thousand, say ten thousand, it's all nonsense! The strong army is not spoken, but fought, crawling out of the pile of dead people! Zhao Pu said.

At the sound of an order, the whole army began to carry a long-distance weight-bearing off-road.

An army of 20,000 people is extremely spectacular, and it can be stretched out for more than ten miles, such a team is extremely spectacular.

At this moment, it is summer, and the fields are already planted with crops, and it is necessary to avoid the crops when marching, so as not to damage the crops. The army marched like this, and Zhao Pu rode on a horse and followed the army.

There is competition to be pressured, the first to reach the destination will be rewarded, and the last to reach the destination will be punished; The allotted time did not arrive......... Hey

This is exactly the weather in June, the sun is shining, even if you stay under the shade of the trees, it is steaming, and you can get heat stroke when you are exposed to the sun in the wild. And carrying a weight of forty pounds, then putting armor on the body, taking weapons, and marching quickly is indeed a kind of torture, which is a great consumption of physical strength and endurance.

There may be many people who can't hold on and may be eliminated. But being eliminated on the training ground is better than being eliminated on the battlefield.

War will not compromise with you, war will not sympathize with the physical strength of soldiers, as long as you do not meet the standard, as long as you can't do the best, you will be eliminated by the war, and you will not even have the slightest chance of regretting.

After marching for an hour, some people fell behind, and Zhao Pu instructed the various supervisors that if they couldn't hold on, they could withdraw, and no one would embarrass them.

The arduous march continued, some persevered, and others were eliminated. Those who persevered were mostly veterans who had fought in the land east of the river; Most of those who were eliminated were newly recruited soldiers under Ying Tianfu.

A simple weight-bearing cross-country will clearly divide the eight-character army into two levels.

Riding a horse is never an easy thing to do, and the horse is bumping up and down, which is a great torture for the butt. Coupled with the uneven ground and potholes, beginners often can't stand too much bumps in the horses and tend to have a sore butt; Only after riding a horse for a long time can you better adjust the rhythm and adapt to the ups and downs.

And Zhao Pu is a new hand, although too much cotton cloth is placed on the saddle, but under the shock, his butt is still sore.

But Zhao Pu still gritted his teeth and insisted, some things can't be faked to others. It was just a peaceful time, and it didn't matter if something went wrong; Now is a troubled time, if you still hold the idea of ruling the arch and leave everything to others, you will only die and don't know how to die.

He is the emperor, above ten thousand people, and naturally does not need to be trained like a soldier.

If he took the lead in participating in the training of the army, it would be a little abnormal.

In this era of feudal superstition, in this era of divine authority of the monarch, the emperor is the son of God, and the emperor is high, he needs to maintain a sense of mystery, maintain coercion, and keep an appropriate distance in order to rule better. He doesn't have to participate in the daily training, but he has to be there.

Moreover, at this time, the soldiers carried heavy loads and marched quickly on foot; And he was leisurely riding a horse, inspecting all the way, which could not be done, too much.

The soldiers marched on foot quickly, and in the moment of fatigue, they could take a short rest, drink some water, eat some dry food, replenish their nutrition, and then continue the march............

Finally, night fell, the day was over, and only 15,000 people who had completed the assessment had reached the standard, and 5,000 had physical strength, and their endurance was too poor and they left the team. The night was already dark, and they began to set up camp, arrange the defenses of the camp, and then live and cook. At this time, the ox cart from afar also came, carrying a large amount of meat and some fine wine, which was used to reward the good soldiers.

After hard training, the appropriate material resume can better start the enthusiasm.

Then the shouts continued, and the soldiers who arrived first drank wine and ate meat, and their hearts were very happy; And those soldiers who can't eat meat, can't drink wine, and can only eat rice, are envious and unwilling in their hearts, and secretly say in their hearts that they must work hard next time to eat meat and drink wine.

And at this time, Zhao Pu appeared.

Most of these fighters didn't know each other, but that didn't stop them from making friends.

Zhao Pu began to toast to the soldiers, saying some words of encouragement, saying words such as killing the enemy to serve the country, expelling the Tartars, etc., all of which were official words, but the eyes of these soldiers were full of gratitude, and they secretly said in their hearts that the emperor actually toasted them, and finally found a trace of the superiority of the Son of Heaven's army.

If you look for a mother-in-law in the future, you finally have the capital to brag; If you get married and have a son in the future, you can also talk about this experience.

After going around in a big circle, Zhao Pu walked towards the five thousand people who failed.

The physical strength of these 5,000 people was very poor, and they didn't last long before they fell behind. It was only after the arrival of the army that they came one after another. Some of these soldiers are related households, relying on family backgrounds or connections, to get here. originally wanted to join the eight-character army to get a good qualification, but I didn't expect it to be a long trip on foot, almost exhausting them; They are all pampered people, and they have suffered like this there.

Some are local veterans, who can't fight in peacetime, but stealing and playing tricks are the worst. Nowadays, on foot and off-road, it is a mule or a horse, and they are pulled out for a walk, and there is no possibility of stealing and playing tricks, which almost exhausts them to death.

Zhao Pu looked at this tired soldier, and he was directly happy in his heart: if you want to mix qualifications in the eight-character army, you have to take off a few layers of skin.

A leader only needs to focus on the best 10% and the worst 10%, and that is enough. Too much of the 20% reward and punishment, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole collective.

Looking at this group of fragile soldiers, Zhao Pu waved his hand and said loudly: "If you can't hold on, get out, if you don't qualify, get out!" Then drive away all these unqualified soldiers, but after thinking about it, I gave up.

But after thinking about it, forget it!

The Tang Dynasty was a combination of soldiers and peasants, and the army was often fighting for glory and military exploits; The Ming Dynasty followed the military household system, both soldiers and tenant farmers, living the life of serfs, but their combat effectiveness was relatively strong; And the Song Dynasty followed the mercenary system, using money to hire soldiers, and being a soldier was a cheap job. Land-owned peasants do not become soldiers, those who can mix with idle posts are not soldiers, and educated scholars do not serve as soldiers, only landless peasants, ordinary people who have committed crimes, or bandits who come from Zhao'an do not serve as soldiers.

It can be said that the quality of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty is the worst in all dynasties!

If he drives them away, these unqualified soldiers will really not be able to recruit new soldiers for a while.
