The drill in Zhang Fei's camp the day before yesterday had already spread throughout the camps and became a joke among the camps in the past two days.
There really aren't many entertainment projects these days, so something that is obviously worthy of gossip and ridicule will definitely be remembered for a long time, not to mention that it only happened less than two days ago.
Therefore, this time, the primary school of Guanzhao Second Battalion was not so much visited under orders, but rather simply came to have fun and watch jokes.
If he could see a few familiar colleagues fall down on the spot, there would be plenty of jokes in the next six months.
I really don’t mean to make fun of people, it’s really due to the lack of entertainment in these days, coupled with the fact that the military has almost no cultural literacy.
The illiteracy rate of soldiers in these days was 100%, and the literacy rate in primary schools was not high. Even if they could read, they could only recognize a few common words. It was great to be able to barely understand some simple commands.
For such small schools and soldiers, it is too difficult for them to expect them to understand what empathy is.
Therefore, the primary schools of Guanzhao Second Battalion came here to watch the jokes today. They really didn’t expect that they would also have to go off to practice.
As for the soldiers in Zhang Fei's camp... they have long disliked these bastards.
When I arrived at the school grounds, before the practice started, someone from the elementary school whom I knew well came to visit. They laughed blatantly and said, "I can't stand for just an hour, so why not go home early and ask for milk from my mother-in-law?" Such words made Lieutenant General Zhang Feiying, who was also in the primary school, angry and anxious, but he still couldn't refute.
Had it not been for the prohibition of private fighting in the army, and several generals happened to be in the military tent, I'm afraid a fight would have started.
This also made Lieutenant General Zhang Feiying secretly think to himself, no matter what, today can't be as useless as the day before yesterday... at least hold on for a while longer, and can't be laughed at on the spot.
This is also a major reason for Lieutenant General Zhang Fei's persistence when he "stands in the military posture" today.
Unexpectedly, after standing for almost a quarter of an hour today, there was actually someone standing with me.
The general at the top suddenly ordered that the Guan Zhao Second Battalion Primary School be temporarily organized into a group, and they all participated in the drill as required.
Now, let's let these bastards who are watching the joke have a taste of what this "military stance" is like.
And once there was a comparison, Lieutenant General Zhang Feiying became more motivated to persevere.
There is also a coincidence here.
Lieutenant General Zhang Fei's camp started training first, while the small school of Guan Zhao's Second Battalion started training a quarter of an hour later.
As for standing in the military posture, the first half hour is the most difficult time. Once you get through it, your body will become stiff and you will feel better.
And just when Lieutenant General Zhang Fei's camp was having the most difficult time, the small school of Guan Zhao Second Battalion went on to drill, which gave these people the motivation to persevere. After getting through that difficult period, their bodies were numb, and they felt a little more relaxed than before. .
But in the primary school of Guan Zhao Second Battalion, their torture has just begun.
About a quarter of an hour later, the small schools of the Second Battalion of Guanzhao also began to feel the power of "standing in a military posture". All they could do at this time was grit their teeth and persevere.
Today I am here to watch a joke. You are not just making jokes to make others laugh. You have to persevere no matter what.
As for the soldiers in Zhang Fei's camp, some people who couldn't hold on gradually began to appear.
The six small schools in Zhang Fei's camp are still gritting their teeth and persisting, but not everyone in the camp can persist.
Some of it is a matter of willpower. If you are used to being lazy, you will not be able to persevere all of a sudden.
There are also some issues related to physical fitness. After all, the physical fitness of soldiers in these days is really uneven.
But overall, compared to the last drill where half of the people fell down every time and the failure rate was as high as 80%, the number of people who fell this time was within Zhang Fei's expectations.
As the number of fallen soldiers gradually increased, it also affected the morale of the soldiers in the school field to some extent... At this time, one of the temporary formations of the small school in the Guanzhao Second Battalion could not hold on and fell. Got off.
Xu Shu glanced slightly at the fallen principal, but didn't say anything, but Zhao Yun was already blushing.
The fallen colonel was a member of his camp.
Zhao Yun's current responsibilities are actually different from those of Guan and Zhang.
Guan and Zhang are generals, and their main duty is to lead troops, but Zhao Yun's main duty now is not to lead troops.
Liu Bei was dispersed by Cao Cao in Xuzhou and defected to Yuan Shao. After meeting Zhao Yun again in Hebei, Liu Bei gave Zhao Yun a secret mission - to help Liu Bei secretly recruit troops.
Zhao Yun completed this task very well. He just helped Liu Bei recruit hundreds of people under Yuan Shao's nose, but Yuan Shao didn't know at all.
These people later followed Liu Bei and defected to Liu Biao, forming Liu Bei's current basic base.
Over the years, Zhao Yun has still been helping Liu Bei recruit troops everywhere. He has been away from Xinye some time ago, and his deputy general Zhang Zhu is basically responsible for the training in his camp.
Although Zhao Yunming's official position was just Lieutenant of the Yi Army, this position was created by Liu Bei himself. It was not reported to the court at all, and it was not a serious general rank.
But you have to look at what he actually did... Guan Yu was still a partial general, and Marquis Shouting of the Han Dynasty only had a thousand people in charge, which was seriously inconsistent with his status.
Therefore, it is not a big deal to assign Zhao Yun, the "camp captain", with a deputy general. Zhao Yun is traveling all year round, so he must have someone to help him train the soldiers he is responsible for.
But now Zhao Yun feels a little embarrassed.
Although Zhao Yun also heard about the peculiarities of this new method of military training, and also knew that the purpose of this "standing military posture" is to exercise the perseverance and endurance of the soldiers, it is normal for some people to be unable to hold on...but for Why would the first small school that couldn't hold on be in its own camp?
Fortunately, Zhao Yun's blush did not last long, because someone's face was even redder than his.
Although our second grandfather may be said to have a naturally rosy face, it is not very obvious unless you look carefully... Now it is directly visible to the naked eye.
The second person to fall was the small school in his camp.
Not a single one of the small schools in Zhang Fei's camp failed.
It is understandable that a soldier fell to the ground. After all, the quality of soldiers varies greatly. Some of them are indeed weak or lazy. But when a small colonel falls to the ground, the situation is different.
Although the junior high school military officers are only low-level military attachés, they are all trained on the battlefield, so their physical fitness is definitely no problem.
There is only one explanation for his collapse now, and that is that his willpower is not up to par.
It’s no wonder that Guan and Zhao are blushing... In such a small school, if you entrust him with the arduous task of attacking, it is very likely that he will retreat if things go wrong for a while, or even lead to serious consequences of defeat.
What's more, Xu Shu is watching at the scene today.
Who is Guan Yu? He is an extremely arrogant person.
Originally, Guan Yu was still skeptical about whether Xu Shu was really capable... But before Guan Yu found a chance to question Xu Shu, Xu Shu first let Xu Shu see his lax military management.
Is this okay? !
Guan Yu was so angry that not only his face turned red, but his eyes also stared.
But after all, Guan Yu is not Zhang Fei. Although he is angry inside, he will not explode on the spot. He will only deal with the matter after returning to camp.
Now, just continue to stand like this with Xu Shu, watching the drill.
After an hour of "standing in military posture", Zhang Fei's camp began to take stock of today's drill results.
It's better than last time. Thirty-one items met the standard this time... at least it's much better than last time when fifteen items met the standard.
But Zhang Fei is still dissatisfied - his entire battalion has a total of ninety-five pieces, and now the compliance rate is less than one-third.
Zhang Xi could only persuade Zhang Fei privately. After all, you can't expect to do this kind of thing all at once, you have to take your time.
Moreover, the performance of the soldiers today was still good. Although two-thirds of them failed to pass, it was not like the first day. One person even fell to half of them. This time, three or four people failed to hold on. And most of them fell down in the second half of the hour... They are not far from reaching the target, and they will gradually get better in the future.
The only thing that comforted Zhang Fei was that of the six primary schools in his camp, only one survived until the end. Two of the primary schools that came to visit actually fell.
After that, Zhang Xi asked the soldiers in the camp to move a little and relax their muscles. After resting for half a quarter of an hour, they had to start the remaining hour of weapons training.
Of course, the commanders who did not meet the standard had to queue up and go to Junzheng to receive five strokes of the cane after the ordnance drill... Military law is military law, and this is non-negotiable.
But fortunately, Zhang Fei wasn't the one to do it this time, so there was no need to worry about not being able to train after beating these people for three days.
There was no point in continuing to observe the normal ordnance drills. Xu Shu watched for a while and found that there was nothing new, so he took the initiative to invite several generals back to the military tent.
"I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for several years, Yuan Chang would have learned how to train a soldier's mind!" Xu Shu smiled and gave his approval.
Xu Shu finally saw some of Zhang Xi's "knowledge" of military training - Zhang Xi's military training method did not focus on training the soldiers' bodies, but focused on training their minds.
The way to train soldiers is not difficult. If a general has some understanding, even if you don't teach him, he will slowly understand it on his own.
But there are really not many people who know how to refine their hearts.
Of course, the "mind training" here is not the kind of ideological work of the Rabbit Army in later generations. Even Zhang Xi could not do it even if he were killed.
The heart training here simply refers to training the soldiers' willpower so that they can strictly observe military disciplines, follow orders and prohibitions, and obey the command of the general.
Strictly observing military disciplines, following orders and prohibitions, and obeying commands are basically the necessary conditions for a strong army, but how to do this is basically a secret that is not passed down to the generals in this era.
To give a simple example - Gao Shun was trapped in the camp.
On this point, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei actually have a say.
When Liu Bei was attacked by Gao Shun and Zhang Liao sent by Lu Bu, he asked Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao did not hesitate and sent general Xiahou Dun to lead troops to rescue... As a result, Xiahou Dun did not even see Lu Bu's face and was directly killed by Gao Shun. The trapped camp was overwhelmed.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were beside Liu Bei at the time, but they watched this happen.
You must know that Xiahou Dun brought 10,000 people to the rescue at that time, and Gao Shun's trapped camp was said to have a total of only more than 800 people... Either Xiahou Dun was an idiot, or Gao Shun's trapped camp was too fierce .
Obviously, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang, who later stayed in Xudu, knew that although Xiahou Dun was not interested in fighting, he was not an idiot.
It could only be that Gao Shun fell into the camp too fiercely.
But since Gao Shun's death, this trapped camp has also disappeared... No one knows how to train soldiers, so naturally no one can train them.
Xu Shu no longer questioned Zhang Xi's military training methods, but became interested.
Although this kind of military training method is taboo in these days, and it will not be easily passed on to others... Xu Shu still wants to ask, even if Zhang Xi doesn't teach it, it is good to discuss it with each other, just in case they can draw parallels. ? !
But Xu Shu didn't expect that Zhang Xi would actually say it.
Moreover, not only did he say it, he also discussed it seriously with Xu Shu.
