Chapter Seventy-Seven: Acceptance
In the training of the training team, everyone's physical fitness and basic training are the same, whether he is a prince, a commander or an ordinary soldier, they do not have any privileges, nor will they receive any help other than their comrades, they are all treated equally. It is not easy to become a qualified loyal and brave officer, you have to go through a hard assessment, and the requirements for them are much higher, of course, the degree of pain of training is far beyond that of ordinary soldiers, it can be called torture, but everyone has also learned a mantra of the prince 'nothing is impossible, only you can't do it'.
Zhao Ta knew that the profession of a soldier is never lacking in excitement, and crises can arise at any time, and an important indicator of a good officer is whether he can cope with any crisis that may arise soon. At this time, the role of officers is irreplaceable, they have to quickly gather the personnel they may find to form a combat detachment, discern the direction and the enemy, and find the target to complete the task. How to reduce unnecessary casualties, as far as possible with the limited forces and resources at hand, and to complete the task excellently depends on the officer's command art, at this time, any irrational behavior of the officer will let his subordinates die, but this can only be done by relying on strict training and effective teaching!
And Zhao Ta believes that an officer who has wit and bravery, dares to be responsible, and can be strict with himself, abide by discipline, and will sacrifice everything and even his life to protect his soldiers when danger comes, there must be a requirement: they must be accepted by the soldiers, if they are not loved by the soldiers, not popular with them, then he is not worthy of being an officer, it is better to let him roll up and leave. That would be a little less harmful...
"Lord Wang, how can you do such a thing?" Zhao Ta joined the teaching team and lived in a large dormitory with 30 people. Eat, sleep and train with the students. As soon as the evening class was over, he brought boiling water from the room to distribute it to everyone. Everyone, Chai Dong hurriedly stopped.
"Why can't I do it, although I am a prince, I am also a soldier in the loyal army, besides, I am a veteran, I should take care of you!" Zhao Ta dodged with a smile, this reason is good, he is the founder of the Loyal Warrior Army, and there is really no one more qualified than him.
"Lord Wang..."Chai Dong enlisted in the army after the expansion of the loyal army in Hedong. Because of his bravery, he has gone from a recruit to the position of captain in two years, and if he passes the training, then he can be promoted to the head of the capital. He had experienced this kind of veteran washing water for the recruits' feet in the new barracks, but two years later, he became the captain himself, but his subordinates prepared footwashing water for him every day, but the prince didn't seem to forget this matter and boiled water for them every day. Sending water, at first, everyone just thought that the prince was collecting people's hearts for the sake of the image of the tree, but the prince had been insisting on it for five or six days.
"Obey orders. Sit down, I'll pour you water! Zhao Ta asked Chai Dong to sit on the edge of the kang and scooped two scoops of hot water for him. The foot is the most important weapon for us soldiers, and you make it uncomfortable. It won't make you comfortable, and you'll lose your temper one day. So you can't eat and go around! ”
"Lord Wang, it's not that serious, we are all from Zhuanghu, a pair of feet in the water and snow are not so expensive, and we are cavalry!" Although the cow's strong feet were soaked in the basin, he seemed careless, and he didn't even want to move his hands, but just rubbed his left foot with his right foot.
"Cavalry?! The cavalry will use their feet, their feet are injured, you can't get up the horse, look at your feet four or five frostbite, no matter how good the bubbles are, then the infantry army will not want you! Zhao Ta said as he poured all the remaining hot water from the bucket into his basin, and the hot Niu Dali couldn't help but let out a low sigh.
"Soak well, I'll go to the heals to get you some frostbite medicine!" Zhao Ta went out with the bucket.
"Lao Chai, the prince really can't stand me, although I am just a deputy team leader, but I have long stopped doing this kind of thing of fetching water and sweeping the floor, why is the prince so happy?" Niu Dali kept rubbing his feet and asked Chai Dong puzzled, not only did the prince boil water for their feet every day, but the hygiene in the dormitory was almost taken down, and often everyone didn't get up yet, and the prince had already swept the floor outside the house.
"Alas, what do you think, I'm afraid that even your father and your mother haven't poured you footwashing water!" Chai Dong suddenly sighed and said, "How noble is the identity of the prince, if we are not soldiers in the loyal army, I am afraid that we will be excited for a few days if we look at it from afar, but now the prince is sleeping on a big kang with the prince, taking care of us like a brother... I don't care what you think, anyway, my life is handed over to the prince, and I am willing to die for such a prince! ”
"Yes, I am also willing to follow people like the prince until death!" Niu Dali thought about Chai Dong's words and said.
"Dali, you find that it is not easy to bring the current soldiers, I think that after the promotion, the old brothers in the past have alienated me, and they don't want to talk to me in their hearts, it seems that the distance between us is getting farther and farther!" Chai Dong dried his feet and rubbed the soles of his feet heavily with his hands.
"Yes, I also feel this way, we only have forty or fifty brothers under our hands, and the prince has tens of thousands of male soldiers, but everyone can work hard for him, how did he do it?" Niu Dali frowned.
"Not only us, now the merchants are looking down on our loyal soldiers, I went to the market to buy things during the Chinese New Year, and when people saw that we were wearing the uniforms of the loyal soldiers, they immediately lowered the price to me by 30%. Someone next to him quit and said that he was a bully, guess what the merchant said! Chai Dong said.
"Anyway, won't you also reduce the price for him?" Niu Dali said.
"The merchant said, 'The loyal army is the prince's personal soldier, but the prince ordered the pro-army who is marching to make way for us, this is how much face this gives us, I am willing to lose money to sell to them, if you have the ability, you also go to the loyal army to be a soldier, I will also lose money to sell to you!' Choked the man so that he couldn't say a word. Chai Dong said as if relieved.
"It is said that there is no businessman and no treachery, but he will treat people with sincerity, and he will also compare his heart to his heart, and the prince's actions make all businessmen feel respected. The grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates, this is true! The person next to him couldn't help but say with emotion when he heard it.
"Dali, the medicine is here, I'll put it on you!" Just as everyone was talking about the lively things, the prince came in with a bottle of medicine and asked Niu Dali to wipe the water stains on him with his own hands and apply the medicine carefully, "The cavalry sometimes has to walk with his feet, the horse is sick and injured, you are embarrassed to ride it, if you don't have a horse but meet the enemy, at least you can run away!" ”
At this moment, the noisy dormitory was quiet, and his eyes were watching the prince's every move, listening to him Zhao Ta's half-joking, half-lesson and distressed words, but Niu Dali suddenly lost his language function, only nodding his head, they seemed to understand something from it...
After only ten days of intensive training, the atmosphere of the teaching team has changed, the temper of the instructors seems to have improved, the beating and scolding in the training ground is less, the phenomenon of confronting the superiors is almost extinct, and the relationship between the top and bottom has become harmonious, and even Zhao Yi, who is usually not smiling, can become the object of jokes by naughty sergeants, and he often only scolds with a stiff face and a sentence of 'cowardice'!
Looking at the increasingly harmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates, Zhao Ta breathed a sigh of relief, after the expansion of the loyal and brave army, they fought again and again, and they had more contact with friendly troops, which inevitably became tainted with some bad habits, and the officers punished the soldiers at will, called and drank their subordinates as if they were servants, and punished the soldiers for no reason, which caused tension between the superiors and subordinates and between the officers and soldiers.
After Zhao Ta found out, he was also responsible for this kind of thing, there were more things, his contact with the sergeants was also reduced, and the entry and exit were also hugging each other, leaving people with a sense of superiority and an inviolable image, so that everyone respected him. If a large number of recruits enter the camp, this atmosphere is not curbed, and it will inevitably lead to the inability to go out and the morale of the army in the long run...
How to make them sincerely united, help each other as on the battlefield, overcome all difficulties, and be responsible for themselves, but also for their comrades-in-arms and friends. Zhao Ta knew that he only relied on his own orders, and the whips of the law enforcement team were all ways to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and to change this atmosphere, he had to start with himself, the supreme leader, and he leaned down, and others were embarrassed and did not dare to speak with their stomachs shy. Grass-roots officers have the greatest impact on the soldiers, and if their work style changes, it will bring about a change in the atmosphere of the entire loyal and brave army, so that the troops can work together!
......
The nervous three months passed quickly, although the body was tired, but this was also the most relaxed and comfortable day for Zhao Ta during this time, leading the soldiers to crawl and roll every day, eating, drinking and joking, there was no hard work, no conspiracy and trickery, and the harvest was not small, at least the eight pieces of meat on the stomach bulged out again, and life became regular, blood sugar was not high, blood pressure was not high, and even fatty liver was cured.
But God watched Zhao Ta's life be comfortable and began to make trouble for him again, a holy decree came from Beijing, earlier he thought that his father had forgotten about his performance, but he didn't expect to remember it again after more than three months!
first praised him a lot, although it was not as fleshy as what he wrote, but it could also make people get goosebumps, and then the conversation changed and quoted the suggestion of the former dynasty minister Fubi - reuse the clan. Fu Bi once made several envoys to the Khitan and was familiar with the Khitan situation, and in his opinion, the Khitan used the clan to govern the country and the kings as a fence was quite desirable. He believed that 'the customs of the northern captives are noble, and the prince is the king and the general, and he is the ruler of the state and the military authority, and trusts him. ’
To sum up, we also have to learn from others and reuse the clan to achieve 'the inner can be the royal family, and the outer can be powerful'. (To be continued.) )
