Since you are inspecting one-third of an acre of land at home, you must let the animals under your command feel your meticulous care, so that they can be grateful to you, and at least don't want to be a white-eyed wolf who eats in and out of things.
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers, a certain prince planned to get a lucky draw and use some money to stimulate some excitement. Then he had to organize some entertaining activities that everyone would like to see and hear, especially those that everyone could participate in.
"Zhou Aiqing, how many platoons does the East Palace Guard currently have?"
Before banging everyone, Yaoji also needs to understand the specific situation.
"Your Highness, there are currently forty-six platoons, each with thirty-three people!"
Zhou Yuji followed the prince's instructions exactly, and the battalion, company, and platoon-level personnel were exactly as marked in the plan.
"That's just right. I intend to have fun with all the soldiers. I will set up some lottery prizes and fight in platoon units. The first place can receive three hundred and thirty taels of silver, the second place can receive two hundred and thirty-one taels of silver, and the third place can receive 231 taels of silver. The first place can receive one hundred and sixty-five taels of silver! The fourth, fifth, and sixth places all get prizes!"
On average, the platoon that wins the first place in the project will each receive ten taels of silver.
Even if they are in the second place, each person can still receive seven taels, and the third flower can still pocket five taels.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth places were three liang, two liang, and one liang respectively, which was not much, but it was still enough for a big meal.
Zhou Yuji was very curious about what kind of entertainment His Highness the Crown Prince would use. You should know that the bunch of guys in front of you knew nothing about archery, gunplay, horse riding and other sports.
Yaoji also took into account the actual situation, so it was targeted. First of all, it did not set up difficult competition events, so that few people would be able to play. Secondly, there are no physical contact items to avoid hurting the atmosphere. Finally, the outcome had to be determined immediately, and it was impossible for me to sit idle in the military camp all day.
Even if there is a threshold limit, it is easy to achieve. For example, in a tug-of-war, it just depends on which side is stronger.
What tests the team's ability to work together is the team's ability to work together. Three or five people are fine, but a dozen or even dozens of people will be a challenge.
After the news came out, all the animals were excited. Even the soldiers of the former Brave Guard Battalion who had received silver rewards in previous battles began to think about these ten taels of silver. No one would dislike having a lot of silver in their pockets.
But there is only one winner. Whoever can win all the way will get the final prize. When they go back, they should eat, drink,... There are no women in the military camp!
The tug-of-war game uses a lottery-style single-elimination system. A certain prince ordered the remaining players to form two platoons, making up 48 platoons, which made it easier to match up.
Otherwise, after the first round, it will become the 23rd platoon, and one platoon will have a bye and enjoy the treatment of one less game. Everyone will be unhappy.
The entire school grounds immediately became a lively event, as the students were divided into six batches, with eight platoons in each batch competing against each other.
Ropes are also easy to find. There are many thick hemp ropes for more than fifty steps, so finding a dozen or so is no problem.
It can be seen from their expressions that the idiots who are tired of the boring queue training are extremely fond of entertainment activities.
After hearing that the prince had set a lottery, he became even more eager to try, hoping to come out on top.
However, this is a team game, and it is difficult to win based on individual ability alone, unless you are a person with great talent like Xiang Yu.
Among the forty-eight participating teams, Yaoji's favorites are the two platoons composed of soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion.
Most of them know each other, many of them have fought side by side, and they have a certain tacit understanding, which is very important.
As expected, it was these two teams that supported wild card participation that finally met for the finals.
The winner was naturally elated and cheered, while the loser was dejected and even complained to each other.
Regarding what happened, Yaoji had no choice but to encourage everyone: "Why were these two temporarily formed platoons able to win first and second place? Because they are familiar with each other, can coordinate, and do better than you." Okay. Playing games is the same as fighting, and the final victory depends on the strength of the team. The secret to victory is unity, because unity is strength! If a platoon unites, it can defeat fifty or even hundreds of enemies. If a company unites, If we unite together, we can defeat hundreds or even nearly a thousand enemies. If a brigade or even a division unites, we can be as solid as a rock and remain unmoved no matter how powerful the waves are crashing on the shore!"
On the battlefield, unless you run faster than others, the more you fear death, the more likely you are to die, because the enemy will pick the soft persimmons first when they see the hard bones.
The most likely way to survive is to stick together and resist, especially when dealing with braids.
With squads and platoons as basic combat units, they gather into a small group, and then with companies and battalions as units, they form a large group.
It doesn't matter if you lack combat experience, you can make up for it with weapons.
It doesn't matter if you have a weak will to fight, you can use group support to make up for it.
As long as they don't surrender directly and use the iron chariot as a cover, there is nothing the braided cavalry and infantry can do.
A certain prince also wanted to turn the East Palace Guards into an invincible force immediately, but obviously, that was a daydream.
Like some, the protagonist makes an impassioned speech, and after another three to five months of training, the troops can be drawn out to kill everyone.
Yao Ji can only say that under such circumstances, it is not easy for the braids to withstand it for such a long time!
Instead of going through such a thankless effort, it’s better to go to the set as early as possible to get a lunch box~!
If you arrive late, you will be led away by the extras...
Just by saying this, the animals can't understand the essence at all. They can only slowly understand it if they have a dog-eating experience.
It's easy to get all the bastards to eat together, just play the game "Lead Together" and eat them in rows...
Everyone was dismissive of this game at first, thinking it was no big deal and it wouldn’t delay walking even if their legs were tied together.
The result was very different from the previous expectations. Basically every platoon climbed across the finish line in the end.
The secret to any winning team is to climb faster than the opponent...
It was originally a competition to train the team's coordination ability, but in the end it turned into a "turtle crawling race"!
This seems to go against a certain prince's original intention, but that's it for the first time, just for fun.
In the second competition event, the instructor team failed to continue their efforts.
Under the stimulation of silver, the animals' turtle crawling speed increased significantly.
The top three platoons are all composed of new recruits, and they have a bit of a late strike momentum.
Fortunately, it's not a skills competition. If the instructor team wins, the recruits will think that the prince is deliberately favoring the personal guards.
The ranking in the game does not matter, the bonus is just for the sake of meaning.
If you really want to receive a large bounty, you can train hard, and you will be an instant success when it comes to the assessment.
All exams must be quantified numerically, such as accuracy, completion time, number of errors, etc. Even training violations and penalties will be taken into account.
Queue training is just the first step. The next step is to carry out physical training to help these useless people improve their strength, speed, agility and other aspects.
For example, dumbbell lifting, push-ups, pull-ups, obstacle courses, round-trip running, weight training, armed swimming, etc. These are just the most basic subjects.
If a special force composed of elite soldiers can be formed, subjects such as swimming, camouflage, observation, sign language, sniping, demolition, and infiltration will also be added.
After passing the first threshold and the second threshold, ordinary soldiers can touch real swords and guns.
In order to cultivate shooting accuracy, a certain prince would not limit the number of shots fired by each member of the East Palace Guards.
However, there is a minimum limit. Each person must fire at least twenty rounds of ammunition per day, and the 5% with the lowest hit rate will still not eat meat.
Yaoji did not forget to tell Zhou Yuji to pay special attention to certain types of people: "Zhou Aiqing, after many days of training and assessment, you will be able to classify the people in front of you. Smart and loyal people can be officers, and stupid but loyal people can be As soldiers, those who are stupid and disloyal will be fired immediately, and those who are smart but disloyal will be punished on the spot!"
After dividing soldiers into four categories, it is easy to identify their roles, so that we can better rely on their talents and know how to make good use of them.
Zhou Yuji's explanation for the first three categories of people was quite understandable, but the prince's behavior towards the last category of people left him confused: "Your Highness, please forgive me for being stupid. I don't know why Your Highness wants to kill a smart and disloyal person..." …”
Since he is not loyal, he can just retire. It seems that there is no need to go to war.
Yao Ji saw that Ai Jiang was hesitant to speak, so he told the truth and made him understand clearly: "Because this kind of people are the most harmful to the department. There are people like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming far away, and there are lessons learned from the Beijing camp nearby. Liu Liangzuo also On the run! If such people are soldiers, they will be black sheep, cheating and sneaking around. If such people are generals, they will poison the people and even cause chaos. How can I raise a tiger to cause trouble?"
Those who are capable but disobedient are a disaster, including Wang Pu of Datong and Chai Shihua of Ginsu!
Since he will disobey orders in the future, it is better to bury him now to save the people from being massacred suddenly.
"Your Highness's every word is so precious that the general will have an epiphany!"
Zhou Yuji felt frightened when he thought of those villains who didn't respect the king's ways. What the prince said really hit home and was thought-provoking.
Most of the guys listed by the prince were as cunning as foxes and as cruel as wolves, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be reused.
"The new training method will be implemented not only for the East Palace Guards, but also for the Brave Guard Camp."
The battle to defend the capital also caused Huang Degong's troops to suffer heavy losses. With the expansion, thousands of new soldiers will be recruited.
The training speed according to the previous method is too slow and it is difficult to reach the ideal standard, so it is more appropriate to switch to new training methods.
Because many veterans with rich combat experience were lost in this battle, even if the number of replacement personnel was three times the number lost, it would not be able to cover up the embarrassment of the overall combat effectiveness of the Yongwei Battalion.
A certain prince did this to help Huang Chuangzi restore the combat effectiveness of his troops as soon as possible. The Yongwei Battalion was currently the only unit in the Jifu area that could fight tough battles.
"If there are not enough veterans here, I will transfer some more from the Brave Guard Battalion to help the East Palace Guard complete the formation work as soon as possible. When the company and platoon-level units are fully staffed, future training can be on track in an orderly manner."
Based on the calculation of nine people per platoon, a company needs at least thirty veterans, a battalion needs hundreds of people, a brigade needs at least 400 people, and three musketeer brigades need 1,200 people, not to mention more A cavalry brigade.
Yaoji is considering transferring the original subordinates of Zu Kuan, Ni Chong, and Chen Guowei to serve, but he also has great concerns, because this will help them expand their momentum and quickly restore their previous military power.
The East Palace Guards will also become a tripartite force consisting of the former brave guard battalion, new soldiers, and the old troops of the three brigade commanders. If the soldiers from the Beijing Camp commanded by He Zan and the Baoding soldiers commanded by He Cheng come in, there will be even more factions.
A certain prince's idea is to use the veterans of the Yongwei Battalion as the backbone and the recruits as the basis to form a field force that is completely obedient to his orders. However, it seems that there are still many difficulties and a long way to go...
Considering that the three brigade commanders are all locked up, there is no chance that they will do some cheating for a while, and the brothers He Zan and He Cheng are considered loyal and brave men, so the upper structure of the East Palace Guards is still stable.
If this group of people is really embarrassing, there is an alternative. Luo Dai, Jiang Mingwu, You Shiwei and others can serve as substitutes. If that doesn't work, there are Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing who are more loyal than them.
Sometimes, the surrendered bandits are even more loyal to the court than the generals. People who are able to turn back their prodigal son tend to cherish the things they finally possess even more.
There are many generals in the government and army who are half-hearted and insubordinate, with Wang Pu, Ma Ke, Zuo Liangyu, and Wu Sangui as their proxy. A little experimentation will reveal their flaws.
The last three are actually no different from Wang Pu, but they just didn't hear about being "snapped" by the prince, otherwise they would have resisted the order and become disrespectful, clinging to one side and becoming mountain kings.
Now there is Wang Pu in the north who resists and disrespects the imperial edict, Chai Shihua in the west who colludes with foreign enemies, Liu Liangzuo in the east who absconds in fear of crime, and Chen Hongfan who accepts gifts in the south. This can really be regarded as blooming on all sides~!
Coupled with Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, and Ge Zuo's fifth battalion who are ready to make a move, it is much more lively than the script.
The situation before was not much better, and the blame dumper urgently needed a victory to calm his panic.
As a result, Sun Chuanting was able to win the battle, but Sun Chuanting was jailed.
Lu Xiangsheng was good at fighting, but he was tricked to death by an emperor who changed his orders every day.
Internally, he did not dare to touch the nobles and business taxes, and blindly levied three rates, which caused frequent civil wars.
Externally, he cannot know how to make good use of others. He does not have Cao Cao's IQ and skill, but he has Cao Cao's suspicion.
The so-called diligence is actually doing a lot of useless work, and has to issue repeated edicts to appease Min's anger.
The forces of the suppressing bandits were stretched thin, and they had tens of thousands of men from the Beijing camp who were so idle that they could only pick their feet and catch lice...
The scapegoat is the concentrated expression of all contradictions, and it is the first one since ancient times.
Even the father-in-law can treat his son-in-law as a fool, let alone others.
Everyone tacitly agrees to do three things every day - eat, sleep, and play emperor!
Although the carpenter is young, he knows that there are certain things that he cannot do on his own, and he has to find a suitable person to top the tank.
After the scapegoat took over, he had to do everything himself. He often messed up most of the problems, and in the end he had to take the blame himself.
Wanli was capable, but he couldn't stand up to the courtiers, so in the end he simply ignored him.
Tianqi is self-aware and knows that he can't fight back, so he asks Jiu Qiansui for help.
Chongzhen didn't have much ability, but he still had to try his best, and finally ended up with the country and family destroyed!
