It's just that at present, there is only this level that can be reached, after all, they are not saints, not divine soldiers from heaven.

Qu Zichen is not in vain, Huo Quai, counting on these soldiers to become the first in the world in a short period of time, just be a joke.

In the barracks, these soldiers were busy carrying supplies and mobilizing chariots and horses. Everyone is sweating profusely, and almost no one is lazy.

Qu Zichen walked in the barracks, looking at them silently, some of them were looking forward to it, eager to make contributions, and some were uneasy, some were frightened of the battlefield at sea and unknown pirates, but in any case, they were all running around non-stop, and they couldn't see anyone who was disobeying yin and yang, and was lazy and stealing.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the previous commander was here, let them prepare to go out to fight, allocate materials, and fill their own pockets, it would be work, and it would just be a show.

After all, they are just van soldiers, and their main task is local chores.

But after Qu Zichen came, it was different, this Lord Qu attaches great importance to training, and unlike some gentlemen and sons from the capital, he knows that he must first supply nutrition before he can strengthen training.

In the past, most of the people on the roster, among them, did not exist, and even if they did, they were all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, not to mention beggars, but also two thin every day, emaciated, unable to do anything, not to mention the monthly military salary paid on time and in full, even if some could be paid every month, it was not easy.

Shangguan can always find various reasons, either they are not doing well, or this year's harvest is not good, the court does not have enough taxes, and cannot allocate enough money.

Even when the officials in Beijing were ordered to come to inspect, they had to pay them on time and in full, and they would find a reason later, or damage the camp's equipment, or damage the ordnance. In short, always be able to put the money in your pocket and get it back.

Even if everyone has discussed it and decided that the money has been spent, and there are many people, it is not easy to punish, but the next time, you will not be so lucky, and when it is sent to you, that part will already be deducted.

And Qu Zichen is different, the salary is always paid on time, never deducted, all kinds of food, can also be supplied, every day or two, there will be a meal of meat, not the kind of meat scraps that can only be seen with a microscope, but real pieces of meat, or stir-fried, or stewed, in short, you are indispensable.

Qu Zichen governs the army, although there are clear rewards and punishments, but he rarely talks about military salaries, and when he makes a mistake, that is, he works more, and if it is too bad, he will drag it out and beat a few military sticks, even if it is skin and flesh, and he will cultivate for a few days, he will not delay training, or break his arms and legs.

In fact, the soldiers are not stupid, most of them came to the army, just to survive, in order not to starve to death, but there are still some of them, when General Yue swept the Jin people and raised the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, he wanted to enter the Yuejia army, or the forbidden army was loyal to the country, and retreated to the second, so he came to the Xiang army.

But in any case, they know how to be grateful, and now in this world, good men are not soldiers, good iron does not nail, although they are not knowledgeable and talented people, but they still know this truth roughly.

Why is this so? It's not that even if you don't go to war in normal times, you are still bitter and tired, and when you receive your salary, the officials will withhold it, and you can't live a good life for a few days all year round.

Most of them have not yet started a family, and in such a difficult and impoverished occupation, how many parents are willing to marry their daughters to them?

But now it's different, although Lord Qu brought a lot of personal soldiers, he didn't ignore them, and the treatment has come up, and the spirit of the people is enough.

Qu Zichen is in the army, and the rules introduced are to conduct an assessment before the end of each month, pick out ten out of a hundred people, and then pick out the best one from the ten, among these ten people, the best one will be paid four times the military salary, and the remaining nine will be doubled.

If any of the last ten of a hundred people are among the last ten for three consecutive months, from the third month onwards, they will be paid half a salary, and whether or not they are at the end of the examination for the first time, they must be responsible for the hygiene of the barracks of the 100 men and the daily diet of the 100 men during that month.

This also stimulates the fighting spirit of the soldiers, after all, no one likes to serve others for a month, everyone is looking at the top ten places and drooling, the first place may not be realistic, but the remaining nine places can still fight.

Qu Zichen came back to his senses and whispered to Zhao Hu beside him: "This time, all the cannons and firecrackers on the warship must be unloaded in advance, and no one must find out." These soldiers, except for those who stayed behind, also followed, the frontal battle was almost meaningless, and other tasks could still be successfully completed. ”

Zhao Hu still looked unfazed: "No! ”
