"Did you write the training methods for your servants?"
Little Loli's words stunned Gao Pingshi, and he subconsciously asked: "What methods?"
"It's about distinguishing between left and right, standing in a military posture, walking in unison, and that weird goose-step!" Little Loli's eyes lit up: "Your butler, Gao Mo, said you taught him these things, right?"
Gao pragmatic was shocked: "He formed a team of fifty people so quickly? Have they started training?"
The little Loli waved her hands nonchalantly: "It's just fifty people, isn't it quick to make them up? It will be done in less than half an hour."
Gao Jingshi said angrily: "This matter is of great importance. The selection of soldiers...the first choice of servants and guards, how can they be so careless! No, I have to go and see for myself!" He stood up and walked out directly.
"Hey, wait for me!" Little Loli hurriedly ran out and grabbed Gao Pragmatic's sleeve while saying: "Selecting people is important, but servants like you have a basic foundation. As long as you start from more than two hundred Just pick fifty good ones among them, and with my eldest brother’s help, how difficult can it be? My eldest brother can do this with the help of my father, so how can it be any worse?”
"Your elder brother?" Gao Pingshi stopped immediately and asked, "Why did he do this? Did Gao Mo ask him to come forward?"
"Come on, come on, seeing that you are so nervous, let's make an agreement while walking." Little Loli pulled him out and explained as she walked: "My eldest brother practiced martial arts for an hour in the morning. After practicing, he took a shower and ate After breakfast, he had nothing to do. He was restless, so he went out to wander around. He happened to see Gao Mo asking Wei Ximin, the steward of yours, to gather the young servants of Sanshen Garden to select guards. My eldest brother also went there. Join in the fun and help them choose..."
"So that's it." Gao Pingshi slowed down and nodded: "Let's go to Shenyanyuan to have a look."
The two of them walked down from Shensi Courtyard to Shenyan Courtyard together. They saw a group of servants in shorts practicing goose steps in the small school yard to the west of Shenyan Courtyard that was originally arranged for Zhang family guards to stay and practice. Gao pragmatically had good eyesight, and he could see from a distance that this group of people were practicing the goose step decomposition.
According to Gao Pragmatic's personal experience during military training, the goose step breakdown movement itself cannot be said to be difficult. What is really difficult is that the instructor shouts one instead of two, so the trainee has one foot in the air, only one foot on the ground, and he has to straighten his chest and close his chest. Abdomen, keep your hands in front and back, that's a cheat.
But now, Gao Pragmatic discovered that what they were practicing was the decomposition of goose steps.
His performance... he was unsteady on his feet, swaying from side to side, swinging like a penguin, and then he was whipped here and there by the unceremonious Gao Mo.
Gao Pingshi felt a sudden thought and thought to himself: I really can't tell it at ordinary times. Is Gao Mo so domineering in leading the troops?
"A bunch of losers, can't stand now? Look at me, see clearly, that's it!"
Over there, Gao Mo didn't just lecture others. He stood up straight, put the riding crop into his waist, shouted to himself: "One!" Then he straightened his chest and abdomen, kicked his left foot forward, and left. The ground is about one hand high. At the same time, swing your right arm forward, swing your left arm back, keep your legs straight, press your toes down, and the soles of your feet are parallel to the ground - standard!
But there are obviously not many people who can do this action well, so Gao Mo didn't just give up, but maintained this posture motionlessly, and shouted coldly: "See! It's not even that simple!" If you can't do all the movements well, how can you get such a high salary? How can you be exempted from all chores? How can you not have to wait for food and clothing to be paid for by yourself? "
Gao Mo shouted loudly, but his posture did not change at all. His goose-stepping movements were extremely standard. The newly selected guards had nothing to say and could only feel ashamed of their incompetence. For the frighteningly high salary and treatment in this era, they all Be energetic and devote yourself to training.
Gao pragmatic walked to the edge of the small school field, but before he got close to Gao Mo and the others, he suddenly heard Liu Wei's laughing voice: "Master Gao, I heard that you taught Gao Mo this goose step?"
Gao Pragmatic looked around and saw Liu Wei standing on the edge of the small school field, waving to him.
He originally wanted to ask Gao Mo about the selection, but now he had no choice but to go say hello to Liu Wei first. The two exchanged casual greetings, and Gao pragmatically replied: "Actually, I don't know how to train well either. Just make up a few rules and practice them first.”
Liu Wei was not as careless as usual this time. He stared at Gao Pragmatic with a pair of tiger eyes: "Master Gao, are you being too modest? I, Liu Wei, may not be very good at other things, nor have I much interest, but I want to Talking about martial arts and military affairs... Although Mr. Gao's goose step seems to have no other use than strenuous effort, I, Liu Wei, have both been in battle and trained new soldiers, so I can still see some of the truth behind this. Come."
Gao Pingshi was slightly shocked, but he still had a smile on his face: "I just hope that they will be more obedient, and don't let me spend a lot of money to raise a group of disobedient guys. It's not worth mentioning."
Liu Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Jingshi for a while, then smiled and said: "Mr. Gao, as far as I know, because of the plundering by Japanese pirates, some local officials in the south occasionally have the habit of keeping samurai servants, but there are very few in the north. Your order My uncle Zhang Shilang's family has hundreds of servants to protect his servants because he is doing business all over the world, but I don't know why, Mr. Gao, you are so obsessed with protecting your servants?"
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Brother Shou, don't you know this best? If I hadn't been frightened by the thieves, how would I have thought of this?"
Liu Wei blinked: "Isn't it really for Mr. Ma?"
"Which Ma Zongrong?" Gao Pingshi was startled: "Brother Zishou is talking about Ma Lanxi, the general of Xuanfu?"
Liu Wei chuckled: "I thought about it last night and felt that there is only one way for Cao Gan to make money, which is to use the Xuanfu method to sell horses to the Mongols, because... Ma Zongrong needs war horses, and The more the better, as long as someone can get him a war horse or other small things, he will definitely turn a blind eye."
Gao Pingshi was shocked and thought to himself: I underestimated this rough Liu Wei, but I didn't expect that he is a rough guy with a finesse! But what did he do with this? Liu Xian was from the southern army and had no conflict with the north. He could not have any enmity with Ma Fang. What's more, both father and son are currently seeking help from my third uncle. It is impossible not to consider that Ma Fang is my third uncle's "direct lineage". this matter.
Liu Wei saw Gao Jingshi's eyes twinkling but said nothing. He glanced at the little Loli standing next to Gao Jingshi and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, don't get me wrong. Liu Wei has no ill intentions. He just hopes that he can get rid of Gao Gongshi in the future." Just change some war horses."
