Author: Use your soul to aim

After training for a day, the young men ate beef bones and boiled cabbage for dinner. In the evening, the storyteller continued to tell storytelling for an hour and a half.

On the third day, Zhang Zongxian was about to take the disciples from the academy to do morning exercises. Originally, the disciples were jogging outside the fort, but now that there were many young people, they were allowed to do exercises inside the fort.

Liangchen suddenly came and said that many young adults were unwilling to do the exercises, and it was useless for the captains to beat them. During the exercise run in the morning, there were a few young adults who did not want to do the exercises. The team leader thought they were lazy and started to beat them with whips, but soon the other teams

Even the young men don’t want to have sex anymore.

After hearing this, Zhang Zongxian was very angry and asked you to eat meat. You are still so disrespectful. It seems that you have to kill a few respectful monkeys.

With murderous intent on his face, Zhang Zongxian walked towards the barracks.

When I arrived at the barracks, I saw the captains whipping the young men who took the lead and refused to go to the gym. The young men didn't resist or shout, they just lay on the ground and endured the whipping silently.

Zhang Zongxian became even more angry when he saw it. Would he rather be beaten than do such a mean thing? The whip is too light, so he needs a stick!

After all, they are poor people who are angry, and Zhang Zongxian does not want to take human life lightly. He immediately asked the captain to stop and asked the young man who was unwilling to do anything:

"Who gave you the courage to take the lead in resisting the military exercise? Are you taking the lead in disobeying military orders to rebel?"

Only then did those young men know that the county magistrate was coming, and they immediately cried:

"You are wronged by the county officials! You are wronged! How dare we, the common people, to rebel? We are only reluctant to do anything because we are afraid of tearing our cotton-padded clothes and trousers!"

"Yes! The county magistrate had a day of practice yesterday, and my cotton-padded clothes were already threaded."

"Your Majesty, my cotton trousers have been torn open and the bird is exposed."

Because he was afraid of damaging his cotton-padded clothes, he stopped doing exercises. Zhang Zongxian was about to drag him out and beat him to death. Suddenly he thought that these poor people must have something to hide. Then he asked:

"You are afraid that if you eat up your cotton-padded clothes, why are the other teams doing something wrong? Are you secretly communicating with each other about who instigated you? If you don't tell the truth, I will punish you."

Hearing the torture, these young men were so frightened that they kept kowtowing and saying:

"The county has no respect for the common people! How dare the common people!"

"Xiao Min and the others are relatives so they don't want to go out together! We don't know about the other teams!"

Zhang Zongxian first asked the good ministers to arrange for all the young men to gather at the training ground. Those who did not gather would be punished as disobeying military orders. Then he asked the captain to take these young men to the training ground.

When we arrived at the training ground, we first asked people to look at the young men aside. Then I entered the queue of young men and began to observe the clothes of these young men.

If you look closely, you can see that most of the cotton-padded clothes worn by young and middle-aged people are old cotton-padded clothes with many layers of patches. Some people wear single clothes, and some people's cotton-padded clothes. Zhang Zongxian strongly doubts that the warmth they rely on is the thick layer left behind after wearing them for a long time.

The pulp, not the cotton inside.

Looking at the shoes worn by young adults, they are all straw sandals. Although it is not snowing, it is already very cold.

Although the hair of young and middle-aged people was all tied up, Zhang Zongxian took a closer look and found that it had not been washed for a long time and was very greasy, and the lice on some people's hair were clearly visible. Zhang Zongxian almost vomited when he saw it.

After looking at the clothes of the young adults, Zhang Zongxian understood why they did not go out to work. In his previous life, it was said that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, farmers were so poor that they only had one pair of trousers at home, and whoever went out to work would wear them.

It was probably the same in the Ming Dynasty. The cotton-padded clothes and trousers worn by the young men were probably the only ones in the family. As the main labor force in the family, they were only allowed to wear them out of fear that they would freeze.

There was a lot of friction between the clothes during the formation training, and their cotton-padded clothes were easily torn after being worn for a long time. The young men were afraid that if their cotton-padded clothes were damaged, they would not be able to go out to work in the winter. That’s why they watched the drama and practiced.

After understanding the cause of the matter, Zhang Zongxian called Liangchen to his side and told him his opinion. He tortured Liangchen to see how he would deal with it.

"Master, the people are poor, so we need to train in many groups, or give each young man who comes here a cotton coat."

Zhang Zongxian was very dissatisfied with the good minister's answer, so he reprimanded:

"As a general, you should look at the overall situation. Have you forgotten the management methods that my teacher taught you? Don't give favors to the people easily, and you must make them pay to get something. Reducing training will not work, just give them cotton clothes.

No. Are you thinking about what to do?"

"Then we will announce a reward for those who meet the training standard: a cotton coat. Master, what do you think?"

"Yeah, but it's not perfect yet. First of all, we need to arrange for people to repair the cotton-padded clothes of the young adults at the end of the training. There must be rewards, and there should be a grand prize. The teams that conscientiously complete the training and the top ten teams will be rewarded with a set of cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes.

One pair.

The teacher also saw that all of them had not bathed for a long time, and the lice had escaped. Although it was already winter, we still needed to prevent and treat epidemic diseases. After a while, we started to let them take turns to take a bath in the newly built bathhouse, and then asked the doctor to prescribe some

Give them medicine to deworm them.

A good minister but not a general must cherish the soldiers, and only by using their lives can the soldiers win victory. How to make the soldiers use their lives, in addition to teaching them the debate between Huayi and patriotism, we must also care about and care for them. Care about whether they are well fed and well clothed.

In the Song Dynasty, those who served in the army were called thieves and soldiers. Those who defended the country had to have their faces tattooed. It was extremely insulting. How could the soldiers be willing to use their lives? Even in our dynasty, we used civility to control military affairs. Military households were like slaves.

Not only did he have to pay land taxes, but he also had to fight with his life to kill the enemy.

A good minister should give dignity to soldiers and let them understand the meaning of protecting their homeland and country."

"Good ministers respect and obey their master's teachings"

"Just generals are not enough. So many of them disobeyed military orders today and must be punished. Otherwise, how can you lead an army? How can you punish them?"

"Disciple understands that I want to punish the young man who takes the lead first, with fifty lashes for each, and twenty lashes for the others who refuse to do the exercises."

"The punishment must be unforgettable in their minds. If the whipping is not enough, shave off all their heads. Tell them that disobedience is rebellion and that they must be beheaded. But if you think there is a reason for this, then shave your head instead of beheading."

"Go ahead and announce your arrangements to them. The teacher is going back to continue the class."

Then the good minister announced incentives to the young adults and said that after the training, he would arrange for someone to mend their clothes.

All the young people present expressed their gratitude to the county for being considerate of the people.

Then the good minister announced the punishment measures, and cut the hair of the leading men short on the spot and whipped them fifty times. Then the captain cut the remaining young and strong hair short with a waist knife and whipped them twenty times each.

Although the body, hair and skin were influenced by their parents, they heard that disobeying military orders was rebellion, so no one dared to resist. Each and every one of them had their hair cut off and whipped twenty times.

After completing the punishment, it was almost noon, so I had lunch before starting training.
