I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, that it would be so difficult to get military training these days.
On the first day when Zhang Xi helped Kou Feng train sergeants, he almost made himself angry.
The current group of people are not soldiers at all, they are basically children in kindergarten.
It doesn't matter if you can't tell right from left, and you can't even understand commands.
After giving an order, the mess down there is like a headless chicken... To put it bluntly, even if I take kindergarten children out for a spring outing, they are more organized and disciplined than these people.
Zhang Xi had no choice but to draw circles on the school ground to tell everyone where to stand.
And then...just stand!
No wonder military training begins with standing in a military posture. It not only exercises willpower, but also helps people understand where they stand.
Your hands and feet are numb when you stand. If you still can't remember where you should stand, then you really shouldn't be a soldier.
The sun in March is not too harsh, but Zhang Xi made these refugees, who had just had enough food, stand under the sun for an hour, and also required him to do this every day... Kou Feng was a little worried.
According to military regulations, soldiers are required to exercise once every two days and practice once every five days, and each training session will basically last no more than two hours.
Drilling refers to mastering weapons, becoming familiar with their performance, and practicing enemy-killing skills. Training refers to exercising physical strength, training in formation changes, and rapid response.
In other words, it is usually only two exercises and one exercise in five days, but now... I don’t do anything else every day, but stand in line for an hour. Doesn’t this become one exercise every day? What? !
If you continue to practice like this, even if there is no mutiny in the army, there will be deserters.
And Zhang Xi didn't have any good ideas for this.
"Either let me practice and I will give you a soldier that you can handle in a month, or you can practice by yourself. Don't blame me if you feel embarrassed during the drill!" Zhang Xi said.
Kou Feng weighed it again and again, and finally decided to give Zhang Xi full responsibility.
As for Zhang Xi, on the one hand, he asked Kou Feng to use his personal money to search for meat in the market, whether it was pork, chicken, duck or dog meat, as long as it was meat that could supplement fat.
Although for modern people, military training can be sustained as long as they are not weak, but for people of this era, it is absolutely impossible to keep up with such high-intensity training without sufficient nutrition.
After all, these are troubled times, and there are really not many soldiers with good physical fitness.
On the other hand, let Kou Feng also join the queue training.
Although Huo Qubing said that a general only needs clear rewards and punishments, and he doesn't need to love soldiers like sons... But there is only one famous champion in the world, and he is still a cheater, Kou It would be better for Feng this guy to learn from Li Guang and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Li Guang is also a famous general. Even if he is a little unlucky and has a bad temper... there is nothing wrong with him.
No matter how you put it, there were three meals a day, including meat for lunch. In addition, the general also suffered along with him and cordially greeted the military training officer Zhang Xi. There was no large-scale mutiny among the soldiers, let alone deserters.
After all, you won’t have enough to eat outside, let alone meat.
Another thing is that it is actually more uncomfortable to stand in the military posture for one hour every day. The rest of the time is the same as the previous training. Although it is a bit harder, it is just like that if you get used to it.
After training like this for about ten days, Zhang Xi started to have trouble again.
After standing in the military posture for ten days, everyone has memorized the position where they should stand, and has acquired basic discipline and organization. The captain of each team has also become familiar with everyone in his team, and even knows himself better. ’s responsibilities.
Zhang Xi decided to start training the queue.
In ancient military formations, it was never about forming a square formation and letting the soldiers charge.
Facing different enemies, there are different military formations.
For example, when marching, it is basically a long snake formation, charging is a sharp arrow formation, and defending is a round wing formation... A soldier must at least remember how these three formations change. Only then can he be considered a qualified soldier. If he can A soldier who can switch freely among these three formations is a rare elite soldier in the world.
What Zhang Xi focuses on practicing is the changes between these three formations.
There is no other good way but to practice.
As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death, relying purely on muscle memory to let these soldiers know where they should stand at what time.
At this time, rewards and punishment measures have to be used. Zhang Xi does not need to think about this. There are too many ready-made examples on the Internet.
Three hundred people were divided into thirty pieces, with ten people in each piece, and they were graded every day.
Points will be deducted for incorrect formation changes, points will be deducted for missing the time limit, points will be deducted for someone falling behind... Zhang Xi formulated various points deduction standards based on the requirements relayed by Kou Feng, and then implemented reward and punishment measures.
Point deductions are summarized every day. The commander with the lowest ranking will have to starch the pantyhose of all the soldiers in the army. The commander with the lowest ranking three times in a row will be resigned and replaced by another commander.
Originally, Zhang Xi's idea was to choose the top five to be punished, but Zhang Xi unexpectedly discovered that washing other people's socks was not a psychological punishment for these soldiers... After all, these people had been punished before. They were from refugee backgrounds, and some of them didn't even wear pantyhose.
So Zhang Xi was cruel and changed the top five to the bottom one.
Ten people wash 300 pairs of pantyhose, and I will exhaust you to death.
The pantyhose these days are not our socks. The pantyhose are very long and heavy, and they are made of linen. Ten people start washing them in the afternoon, and they have to wash them in the evening... This is considered heavy physical labor. .
As for Shi Chang, this trick is very useful.
Those who can be good at anything are basically the ones with the best physical fitness and the most powerful fighters among them.
Such people have a bit of self-respect. They usually have a lot of talent, but they are suddenly deprived of their position. This psychological gap is huge, and the training of Shizhong soldiers will inevitably be increased, sometimes more than what Zhang Xi requires. Be cruel.
In the army of these days, disobedience was punishable by beating, and this was the norm.
Zhang Xi did not ask these senior officers to change anything. The civilized army and the like were not suitable for this era. After all, it is an era with an illiteracy rate of over 99%. Reasoning with these people is not as good as using fists.
This lasted for a month, and Kou Feng was the first to be unable to bear it any longer.
It's not that Kou Feng's body can't bear it anymore, it's that Kou Feng's wallet can't bear it anymore.
The daily consumption of such training is too great, not only consuming military food, but more importantly, consuming meat.
Meat is so precious these days, so precious that even Liu Bei cannot eat meat every day... The price of meat can be imagined.
Kou Feng, who really had no money, had to discuss it with Zhang Xi. If it didn't work out, let's change back to the original training intensity... Anyway, there were only a few days until the training ceremony.
Zhang Xi still has some unfinished ideas.
I watched helplessly as a group of soldiers, who were doing everything in a chaotic manner at the beginning, now know what they are going to do with just one order. The changes in the queue are getting faster and neater day by day... Such an achievement It's easy to get immersed in the feeling.
But...without money, there is nothing we can do about it.
However, Zhang Xi still warned Kou Feng that the training intensity can be reduced, but the training content must still be persisted... People are like this. Once they become lazy, many things that are hard to remember will be quickly forgotten. It won't be long before these guys are back to their original messy self.
After that, Zhang Xi didn't care anymore.
He helped Kou Feng because Kou Feng called him "brother". Now Kou Feng no longer has this need. Zhang Xi has also returned to his original life, continuing to stay in his warehouse and chatting with the warehouse officials every day. Settlement of accounts, leisure.
After a few days, the military training ceremony officially began.
As the chief clerk of grain and grass, this day is actually quite stressful.
As the leader of the army, Liu Bei must be present in person for the military drills, so a general platform must be set up in advance so that Liu Bei and the army generals have a place to watch the drills.
Then after the military drill, Liu Bei must have rewards and punishments. These rewards and punishments must be prepared in advance and registered, and they must be sent to each military camp after the drill is over.
Finally, after the drill is over, Liu Bei will definitely reward the entire army, and some generals will definitely have a banquet with Liu Bei. These banquet materials must be prepared in advance to save you from being in a hurry.
At the end of the day, Zhang Xi was so busy with various accounts and audits that he had no time to go to the school grounds to pay attention to how the drill was going.
And just when Zhang Xi was finally busy and had only a few things left to finish, the lord Liu Bei suddenly sent someone to invite Zhang Xi to a banquet at the school grounds.
At this time, the Lord Liu Bei should be having a banquet with the generals of the army, which can be regarded as a reward for the soldiers... At this time, he is looking for a grain and fodder master in charge of logistics. What should he do? !
Zhang Xi was confused and followed the visitor to the school grounds.
Zhang Xi had just entered the school grounds when he saw Liu Bei and a group of generals behind him. They all stood up and came to the camp gate to personally greet Zhang Xi.
"I don't know how talented Mr. Bei is, and I almost missed a good talent. Please forgive me, Mr. Wanwang!"
Without saying anything, Liu Bei bowed 90 degrees to Zhang Xi, making Zhang Xi panic to death.
Please, as Liu Bei, even when meeting Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, as long as it is not at a court meeting, he only needs to bow at 90 degrees... What kind of trouble is this? !
Zhang Xi quickly helped Liu Bei up and asked anxiously, "Why did my lord say this?!"
Liu Bei did not rush to reply, but took Zhang Xi by the hand and led Zhang Xi to the center of the banquet. Liu Bei's left lower head asked Zhang Xi to sit down, and then explained the reason.
