Although He Zhang is already at an age where he knows his destiny, he is still strong and energetic, and his voice is still loud. Most of the soldiers under the high platform heard his loud shouts!
After hearing He Zhang's inquiry, the soldiers were in an uproar.
In this era, there is no national concept, let alone a sense of national honor! The vast majority of soldiers join the army just to make a living, and work hard on the battlefield for the reward of silver. Not many have the consciousness to die in battle and sacrifice their lives for the country.
In fact, in the military camp, words such as "death in battle", "sacrifice" and "casualties" have always been taboo. Military attachés would never mention them casually for fear of damaging morale and disturbing the morale of the army. But now He Zhangze It was shouted in public, and the soldiers were asked to choose between "dying on the battlefield" and "making meritorious deeds."
Why make a choice? Any normal person knows which one to choose.
The soldiers of the new Zhanbing Army are all veterans, and few of them have stage fright at this time. After hearing He Zhang's loud questions, some people answered loudly one after another.
"Of course it's to make great achievements and return home in glory!"
"Only a fool wants to die on the battlefield!"
"I just got a wife, and I don't know which bastard I'm going to take advantage of if I die outside!"
Some of the answers were extremely rude and caused a burst of laughter. The entire training ground seemed noisy and unruly, but He Zhang was not angry. He was not an elegant person either. He even believed that such vulgar behavior was part of the blood and bravery of the soldiers.
When the noise stopped, He Zhang shouted again: "Now, the imperial envoy has summoned you to form a new army of soldiers. He has gathered nearly half of the elites from Shaanxi and Gansu. He has given you the most generous military pay and rewards. There will be the best in the future." The armor and logistics of the soldiers... But on the contrary, the new army of soldiers will also face the most ferocious enemies in the future! Appearing on the most anxious battlefield! Fighting a tough battle with the most elite Mongolian army! If you win, each of you will Everyone will be promoted and rich, and gain a lot of rewards. If you lose, most of you will die on the battlefield! Do you want to win? Or do you want to lose?"
This is still a question that requires no thought to answer.
Moreover, Zhao Junchen's ideological mobilization work during this period has indeed been effective.
Therefore, once again, the soldiers responded in succession: "We must win!", "Of course we must win!" "Kill those beastly Tatars!"
After hearing the answer, He Zhang's expression became more serious and said: "If you want to win, you must be stronger than those Mongolian Tatars, otherwise everything you say will be false! If you want to be stronger than those Mongolian Tatars, you You need to practice hard on weekdays! Otherwise, you will only die on the battlefield! I just watched your training! Some people are lazy, some are playing, and some are chatting. Even if a few soldiers are practicing seriously, they are unorganized. ! The war in the future will not be a small fight in the past! If you continue to practice like this, how will you save your lives on the battlefield? How will you make contributions and make a fortune?
Of course, I can’t blame you for these situations! It's because the former leading general Hong Gaogong didn't seriously control you! He doesn't care whether you live or die on the battlefield, even if most of you die, as long as he defeats the Mongols, he can get military glory and rise to prominence! So, when I came here, I immediately blasted him away! Because I am your coach! I am responsible for you! I want every one of you to come off the battlefield alive! I hope each of you can return home in glory! Therefore, I will no longer let you off like Hong Gaogong. I will strictly urge you to practice from today on, and I will even punish you severely for practicing!
In the next period of time, many people will definitely hate me and gnash their teeth, but it doesn’t matter! I hope you will still hate me ten or twenty years from now! That means you at least survived the battlefield! Moreover, by that time, you must have received a large amount of silver reward, have your own land, and maybe you have become the chief flag officer, the official of hundreds of households or even the official of thousands of households! "
In this way, He Zhang kept shouting loudly, his face gradually became ferocious, and his voice gradually became hoarse, making people feel crazy and credible.
Standing behind He Zhang, listening to He Zhang's speech, the officers were really filled with admiration.
Who says He Zhang has no scheming intentions? These words are very learned! In just a few words, He Zhang made himself the spokesman for the interests of all the soldiers, alienating all the soldiers from Hong Gaogong and getting closer to him, and induced them with benefits, reasoned with them, and threatened them with their lives! Let all soldiers understand!
At the same time, the soldiers under the high platform also listened carefully. Thinking of He Zhang's reputation and prestige over the years, many people looked convinced, obviously agreeing with He Zhang's reasoning.
Then, Zhang Cheng's heart moved, and he suddenly knelt down on one knee beside He Zhang and said loudly: "We will obey General He's order! Practice hard! Fight the enemy bravely!"
Under the leadership of Zhang Cheng, everyone on the training ground, including military attachés and soldiers, paid military salutes to He Zhang and shouted in unison: "We will obey General He's orders! Practice hard! Kill the enemy bravely!" "
Seeing everyone's expressions, He Zhang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Cheng, his eyes flashing with appreciation once again.
Then, He Zhang shouted again: "In order to train you and defeat the Mongolian Tatars on the battlefield, I will announce three military orders here! First, from today on, all soldiers must obey military orders unconditionally. Violators will be severely punished." Punishment! Second, from today on, the soldiers of the new army will be divided into groups of ten and fifty, with those who are brave and brave as captains and those who are popular among the people as captains! Third, from today on, every morning and evening, The whole team was assembled twice. The ten slowest teams all had half the food! The ten fastest teams had half the food!
In addition, I will announce two more things! First, I came to Huamachi Camp and brought my two hundred personal guards, who were also divided into four teams and twenty teams. All teams of the new warrior army can challenge them at any time. The winning team's military salary will increase by one If successful, each person can drink a bowl that night, the team leader and team leader can be promoted, and those with outstanding performance can take over the positions of team leader and team leader! As for the second thing..."
At this point, He Zhang turned his eyes to Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi, and shouted: "Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi from a hundred households violated military regulations today. In order to set an example and warn everyone." Officers, to show the determination of the governor-general, I have been ordered by the imperial envoy to punish three people with the cane in front of all the officers and men. Liu Man will be fined with ten ox canes and one month's pay! Zhang Cheng and Li Pi will be fined with five canes and half a month's pay!… ...Are you three convinced?"
Hearing He Zhang's announcement, everyone was in an uproar again!
These three people are the most powerful and influential military attachés in the New Army. After He Zhang took over the New Army, not only did he not win over them, but the first thing he did was to punish them with a stick?
After being shocked, everyone felt the power of the military regulations, and He Zhang Liwei's goal was achieved.
Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi were already mentally prepared. After looking at each other, they also replied in unison: "Those in humble positions and others who have violated military regulations should be punished. I am convinced and do not dare to question!"
He Zhang nodded, waved his hand and said, "Here comes a military stick to serve you!"
In this way, in front of all the soldiers, He Zhangzhang punished Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi.
With this as a starting point, He Zhang's training of the new army also started with great vigor!
