Zheng He came to the Shenji camp again. He wanted to see how the training went after ten days.
When I arrived at the place, I was completely confused.
I saw hundreds of households patrolling in front of their own troops with fierce faces and whips in their hands. Some of the general flags were smiling happily, while others were roaring at the small flags.
There are even hundreds of households holding whips to beat the general flag.
The entire training ground was training in full swing, and he called the oldest Qianhu Shibuyu over.
"Old Shitou, what's going on? Why are you beating people when you're just practicing?" Zheng He asked.
"If you don't fight, you won't be able to remember. If you don't meet Master Xu's requirements, you won't be able to proceed to the next stage of training. It would be embarrassing if you delay. Sir, I'm busy. You can find out when you see Master Xu."
After Shi Buyu finished speaking, he hurried away.
"Slap him, if yes, slap his right foot so that he won't remember." He yelled angrily as he walked away.
Zheng He was stunned for a moment. Shi Buyu had always been steady and steady, but now he was so turbulent and had such a bad temper.
While he was hesitating, another Qianhu Peicheng walked over leisurely.
"I've met you, sir." Pei Cheng said with a smile on his face.
"What's going on? Why is Old Shitou so anxious?" Zheng He asked.
"Sir, back to the training yesterday, his two hundred households failed to pass the test. He cannot enjoy the next stage of training. The key is that according to Master Xu's punishment regulations, he cannot eat meat for three days."
Pei Cheng said with a smile.
"Does this mean you passed all the tests?" Zheng He asked.
"Of course, please review it, sir." Pei Cheng grinned with his teeth behind his teeth. Clearly eager to show off.
Zheng He knew the character of his subordinate and immediately followed him.
It turned out that at this post, thousands of people were in unbelievable order. No matter how you look at it vertically or horizontally, it looks like a straight javelin.
It's a line vertically and horizontally, that's not all, and when it moves, it's uniform, just like the movements of one person.
The commands are unprecedented: turn left, turn right, walk in unison, look left and right, stand at attention, take a breath.
After the command was given one by one, these sergeants moved in unison. Although some of them still had whip marks on their faces, their energy was immediately revealed.
Zheng He looked at it and felt a cool air coming from his back to the Tianling Gai, stimulating his spirit.
Four words resounded in his heart, 'like a finger and an arm'. How easy would it be to command an army like this on the battlefield?
The most important thing is this kind of uniform spirit, so that orders can be carried out without distinction. This is the most rare thing.
"How could you do this in ten days?"
The questions in Zheng He's mind blurted out. If you can train to this point, it will be worth it even if you don't have a firecracker.
"Make the rules, clarify the passwords, and then beat him up." Pei Cheng said coldly.
This is how soldiers are trained in this era. If they can't do it, they'll be beaten. If one person makes a mistake, the whole team will be punished, and if two teams make a mistake, the total flag will be punished. The two general banners made mistakes and hundreds of households were beaten.
Pei Cheng said and handed over a manual. This was agreed upon by Xu Qin and the Qianhu, Baihu, and General Banners, and every detail was stipulated.
It blends into the style of the Ming Dynasty, but Xu Qin didn't teach him about beating people. They had done it before.
Xu Qin also felt that it was too inhumane, and as a result, no one listened to him on this matter. Because beating really works.
Xu Qin gathered the people above the general banner for the first time and gave the first order to 'turn left'. As a result, the whole team was in chaos.
It can be turned in any way, to the left, to the right, or in a circle. One even tripped over himself.
Only then did Xu Qin realize that most of these people couldn't tell the difference between left and right.
"Raise your left hand" Xu Qin gave the order after they stood up.
Sure enough, as he thought, many people couldn't distinguish between left and right. He even looked around hesitantly.
At that time, the three thousand households were a little confused. What was Mr. Xu going to do? But the performance of these subordinates really annoyed them.
Xu Qin was not angry. He gave each of these people a stone in their left hand and tied a rope to their left foot.
Then he demonstrated a standard left-right turn and backward turn, and then started training, shouting slogans over and over again.
But after an hour like this, something was still wrong. There is no awareness of left and right at all, and there is always someone face to face.
He still had patience, but the three thousand households were gone.
Although they had only trained for a while, they had already seen that this kind of training seemed to have some real benefits.
"Master Xu, please take a rest." Yao Dahu laughed ferociously, took out his whip and rushed into the team, pulling out the wrong ones and giving them a beating.
Specially hit the left shoulder and left leg. Xu Qin was startled. Damn, you are too cruel. I was about to go up and stop him.
As a result, he was blocked by two other Qianhu.
"Sir, these cowards won't have long memories unless they are beaten," Pei Cheng said.
The result was just as he said, he felt much better after the beating.
Next, Xu Qin began to train them systematically, teaching them each movement. In the end, he was so angry that he picked up the whip and started to use it. Without him, he was so fucking stupid.
He finally found the hysterical feeling of a parent accompanying his son to do his homework.
"Master Xu, I'll come wherever you can." At this time, Yao Dahu was always the first one to rush up.
After teaching for a whole day, Xu Qin still didn't let them go at night. They all gathered together to discuss the training content during the day, perfect it, and then conduct the schedule.
Xu Hao was sitting next to him and was in charge of sorting it out.
In the past, the coaches made their own decisions, so they would not ask the opinions of the soldiers below. So I didn’t dare to say it at first.
It wasn't until Xu Qin sent away the three thousand households that the people below began to speak. With his encouragement, he talked more and more.
Only when people personally participate in the decision can they actively implement it. Soon these people joined in with different accents.
Xu Qin's ethics gradually took shape.
Pei Cheng explained the events of the past ten days to Zheng He bit by bit. Zheng He listened and read the Cao Dian.
"How do you feel?" Zheng He asked after putting away the code of conduct.
"Okay, very good. The more I practice, the more I find it wonderful. King Zhongshan is indeed a god-like figure."
Pei Cheng said. He discussed it with the other two Qianhu, and found out that Xu Qin, a young playboy, was definitely not the one to come up with such a perfect code.
He didn't look like a soldier at all, so he should have been left by King Zhongshan, but he didn't remember everything, so he sorted it out while practicing.
Zheng He smiled slightly and said nothing more. He saw that the sentry in Peicheng had begun to practice with wooden sticks.
"Why are you still carrying a stick and not carrying a weapon?" Zheng He asked.
"Master Xu said that there is a serious shortage of fire guns now, and I don't know how many can be made. Let's practice with sticks first, and wait until the fire guns are ready." Pei Cheng said.
Zheng He always found it strange to see these soldiers practicing uniformly with wooden sticks. Even a little ridiculous.
"What's going on with eating meat? Is Old Shitou still short of meat? Why is he so anxious?" Zheng He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the usually steady Old Shitou being so anxious.
"My lord, I don't know. Sir Xu has adopted a method of eliminating the last ones. He kills two pigs and three sheep every day.
Those who have completed training and achieved good results will eat meat. I can't finish watching others eat meat. I've had enough of Lao Shitou's post today. "
Pei Cheng said happily. It feels good to stand on the shore and watch others fall into the water.
Zheng He also laughed and shook his head. This boy had too many bad words. The most fearful thing in the military is to be different.
Even most coaches, no matter how rich they are, basically eat and sleep with the top soldiers when they get to the military camp.
It is said that a general will not say he is thirsty before his well is dug, and he will not say he is hungry before his kitchen is set up. This has been the case with famous generals throughout the ages. But he did the opposite.
The key is that the choice lies with the soldiers themselves. If you don't live up to expectations and can't eat meat, you can't blame others.
What's more important is the humiliation, which is the most unbearable. We are all soldiers, who is not competitive? No wonder Lao Shitou can't sit still.
Zheng He looked back at the soldiers who were using wooden sticks to imitate firecrackers and still felt ridiculous.
But the soldiers who were accustomed to whips and rules were still meticulous.
Zheng He found it funny, but Liu Sheng found it incredible after hearing his subordinate's report.
It was just a matter of practicing queues in the past two days. Why are you still using wooden sticks to sign like a fool?
Originally, Xu Qin would give him a report every time he formed a code of conduct. At first, he looked at it carefully.
But more than ten days later, it was discovered that these people were just practicing walking, and now they were even practicing with sticks.
He directly wiped the mutton oil on his hands with the Cao Dian sent by Xu Qin, and the remaining ones were used directly by the soldiers to wipe their buttocks.
"Zheng He is crazy, I'm not crazy yet." Liu Sheng said disdainfully.
He was more concerned about how the fire guns were being made, but unfortunately according to His Majesty's decree, most of them were guaranteed to be taken away by Zheng He's team first.
This made Liu Sheng very unconvinced. Why? Is there anything worth visiting over there in the West?
These muskets should be allocated to the Shenji Battalion to deal with the Tatars in the north.
Liu Sheng was thinking about it when his subordinates informed Lord Zheng He of his visit.
Although he slandered Zheng He behind his back, Liu Sheng still respected this man. After all, if he hadn't been a eunuch, Zheng He would have been a marquis long ago.
Moreover, this person is His Majesty’s absolute confidant, and cannot be offended.
So Liu Sheng went out of the gate to greet him. We arranged a sumptuous lunch at noon and had two drinks with Zheng He.
Although he was in a military camp, he was not marching outside after all, so no one would say anything after a few sips of wine.
After three drinks, Zheng He spoke.
"Uncle Liu, have you read the Young Master's Code of Conduct? There is indeed something there. Do you think it was left by King Zhongshan, or was it something he figured out himself?"
Zheng He put down his glass of wine to discuss this topic with Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng was stunned, what he said was a bit strange.
"Master Zheng, I think it may have been left by King Zhongshan, but I'm afraid he hasn't learned the essence. Please use it with caution."
Liu Shengyi said pointedly.
Zheng He smiled and nodded.
"It may not be useful. After all, small Western countries will surrender without fighting when they see my great power." Zheng He said with a smile.
Those who should be reminded have been reminded. If you don’t believe it, there is nothing you can do.
How could Liu Sheng not hear that Zheng He was kindly reminding him to pay attention to Xu Qin's conduct.
It's a pity that he doesn't believe that practicing with wooden sticks can produce any results, and Zheng He is probably crazy. How could one believe such a thing?
So he also gave Zheng He a kind reminder.
Everything is said in silence, they are all official officials, they stop talking and immediately change the topic. We talked about some interesting things during the Jingnan War.
After coming out of Liu Sheng's place, Zheng He went directly to Xu Qin. At this time, the young father-in-law is a real busy man.
The school grounds and the foundry run on both sides. All kinds of questions came one after another. Although he couldn't understand everything, Wang Timur felt that there was no problem that couldn't be solved with him around.
Now Xu Qin has moved the entire war bureau here, and even hired many people from the Ministry of Industry. Precious steel is piled everywhere.
Several blast furnaces have been built, and the method of frying steel has been explored, and high carbon steel can even be produced.
The craftsmen have gathered seven to eight hundred, not counting their apprentices. The hydraulic lathe could not use water, but fortunately three cows were used instead. Use it for now.
Every day is chaotic, but many things are progressing in an orderly manner.
