Chapter 58 I have three strategies for training troops
The breeze and the moon were bright, and the torch was beating. The knelt on the ground in front of the restaurant. The fire illuminated the slightly panic-like faces of the salt gang members.
Not far away, Grandpa San and Uncle Tang Si were trying hard to drag the fat aunt into the door and begging: "Don't interfere anymore, okay? You will make Xiaowu too smooth. If the eagle wants to soar in the sky, you must first learn to throw wings. What are you? You installed a pair of Kunpeng wings for him..."
When the fat aunt heard that he seemed very dissatisfied, he said from time to time, "He is obviously a young dragon, what is Kunpeng's wings?" Grandpa Third and Uncle Tang Si tried hard to pull it, and finally dragged the fat aunt into the restaurant.
Tang Zheng laughed outside the restaurant, and the soldiers around him looked at each other. The Wu Qiong general blushed and shouted excitedly: "Okay, it's so good. Wave and hold thousands of soldiers. Lord Tang is really good, good, I'm going to be promoted, and leading thousands of people is the real general."
Tang Zheng suddenly shouted, "Wu Qiong obeyed the order..."
Wu Qiong hurried forward, raised his head and held his chest and clasped his fists, and replied loudly: "The last one is here."
Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice: "Tonight's event, the winner has been decided. I now order you to be the magistrate of Xuanjie and to be promoted to the eighth rank. You need to carefully recruit the Salt Gangs and train them into a powerful soldier to defend Langya. The time is set to three months, and it is considered unfinished. When the military order is served, I will beat you a baguette. How about it? Do you dare to take this task?"
Wu Qiong swallowed his saliva with a gulp.
Xuanjie Clerk, this is an official position in the eighth rank, and he really wants it.
But there is a prerequisite, a strong army must be trained in three months, and no one dares to make a guarantee of this matter.
Training is not as simple as talking casually...
Not to mention anything else, just talking about cultivating the loyalty of new recruits, the Salt Gang was originally a bandit, and was used to being free and casual at heart. Besides, they were forced to suppress them tonight, so these gangs would definitely not be convinced by Tang Zheng.
"Sir..." Wu Qiong bowed, and was about to say that three months were too short, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of Tang Zheng's indifferent eyes. Wu Qiong immediately understood and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Sir, I dare to accept this military order."
"good!"
Tang Zheng praised loudly, as if very satisfied.
He suddenly looked at Tu Biao who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted again, "Tu Biao obeys the order..."
"Hmm? Is there something else about me?"
Tu Biao was stunned for a moment, and unexpectedly Tang Zheng would call him. After all, he was a loser and it was a blessing not to be killed. As for the statement that he was taken as a disciple of Kaishan, Tu Biao believed that it was just Tang Zheng's trick to conquer the gang members.
However, Tang Zheng spoke solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Tonight, you will be my teacher. Since ancient times, the master and disciple have inherited the lineage. If the division commander has something to do, the disciples will obey his work. I will first appoint you as the deputy lieutenant of Xuanjie to assist Wu Qiong in training his troops with all his heart. If the training fails, I will have a strict punishment for the law of the army."
I just ordered Wu Qiong that if I could not handle military law, I would like to change the term for Tu Biao and actually used the title of Master's Family Law. The two seem to be different, but in fact the meanings inside are vastly different.
Tu Biao was obviously very moved, and suddenly said solemnly, saying respectfully: "Abide by the orders of the master!"
This sentence is to be convinced, because he felt that Tang Zheng was sincere and wanted to conquer himself.
...
Tang Zheng said softly, waved his hand to signal Tu Biao to get up and stand aside first. His eyes turned to look at the soldiers, and suddenly shouted out the names of ten people in succession.
The ten soldiers who were shouted were very excited and hurriedly stepped out to kneel on one knee. Everyone knew that good things had come, with excitement and desire on their faces.
Sure enough, Tang Zheng smiled slightly and appointed all ten soldiers to official positions, all from the ninth-rank accompanying Rong Captain, and his identity from Qiu Bayi to the lower-level general.
Then Tang Zheng's eyes were bright and his voice was leisurely: "You twelve people will only do one thing in the future, train troops and work hard to train troops. Not only will we train the salt gang members, but our official will also recruit new soldiers, with a tentative number of 1,000, and it is useless to conquer them. The official only has one requirement, and he must form an army in three months..."
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly bowed their orders at the same time, shouting: "I am willing to issue a military order."
"All up!"
Tang Zheng waved his hand and ordered everyone to stand up from the ground.
At this time, the little lord came over and gently pulled Tang Zheng's sleeve while the person was not paying attention.
Tang Zheng turned his head to look at her, and suddenly spoke again, "You are here with me, I have something to give me advice."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled the little lord's wrist, walked through the workshop gate and walked into the yard. There was a secluded place deep in the yard, which obviously wanted to say something secret.
Everyone looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
After a moment, everyone gathered.
Tang Zheng smiled slightly and said to the little master: "Tell me, what did you do when I pulled my sleeve just now? Are you worried about training troops, so I want to remind me..."
The little lord nodded and said softly: "You know, I have dozens of masters since I was a child. Not only did I learn government affairs in the court, but I also had to study military political training. Tang Zheng, your order just now was a little hasty. Where can I train strong soldiers in three months? Training not only trains people, but also trains the mind. What is trained is the body, and what is trained in the mind is loyal. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to train surrendered soldiers, because surrendered soldiers are the easiest to repeat, and there are many allusions of rebellion and mutiny."
This is because of sincerity in considering Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng nodded, turned to Wu Qiong and others, and smiled and said, "What about you, what do you mean?"
Wu Qiong quickly bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Mr. General Mo hesitated and dared not accept the military orders from the Lord. However, General Mother saw you with hints, so he bit the bullet and agreed... But General Mother still had no idea. I know that it will be difficult to train a strong soldier in three months. Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to train the loyalty of the soldiers alone."
The ten newly promoted captains of Rong nodded repeatedly, obviously everyone had the same idea as Wu Qiong.
Tu Biao smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "I can't do this either. The Salt Gang is not the one who is in charge of the family. Master, you don't know. My disciple has just been promoted to the leader of the gang. There are very few people who have convinced me by the Salt Gang. The power behind us is extremely capable of controlling our hearts..."
"Is the technique of heart control? Haha!"
Tang Zheng slightly exposed it, and seemed not to care about it.
His eyes slowly swept across everyone and said leisurely: "Three months is enough. I'll call you here to teach you the method."
Everyone was excited and listened with breath.
Tang Zheng suddenly put his hands behind his back, as if recalling something. He spoke while recalling, and his words gradually became endless: "From tomorrow, I will abandon all county affairs. I will eat and sleep with you, train soldiers next to this tavern and workshop. Everyone is in the same military camp, and they will face each other day for three months..."
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "These three months have been divided into three stages. The first stage is to recite my name and shout the slogans of the army."
Everyone was stunned, and the little lord said curiously: "What slogan?"
Tang Zheng's eyes were burning and he said word by word: "Lord Tang Zheng, the destiny is extraordinary, and the pain is the only one who can help first and foremost.
When the little lord was stunned, everyone was also confused.
...
Tang Zheng did not explain, and said in a deep voice: "This slogan must be shouted, and the members of the Salt Gang and the soldiers of the New Conquest will shout together. From the morning to the evening when they open their eyes, there is no stop all day long. They should shout when they eat, recite before going to bed, and the whole army will also have to compete. Whoever shouts the loudest and most sincerely will be selected as the model of the day for praise..."
Everyone became more and more confused, and always felt that this matter was full of jokes. What's the use of shouting slogans every day? I haven't heard of anyone practicing military training like this since ancient times.
However, the little lord seemed to be thinking, and suddenly Zhan Yan smiled and said to Wu Qiong Tu Biao and others: "You must also shout, and set an example. You eat and sleep with the soldiers every day, lead your subordinates to shout slogans, and this princess personally helps supervise. Whoever can't do it will get out immediately..."
Everyone hurriedly bowed and shouted: "I will understand!"
Actually, I don't understand at all.
The little lord suddenly stood beside Tang Zheng and suddenly hugged Tang Zheng's arms with his hands. His expression was actually reserved for the first time in history, like a little wife who was careful to serve her husband.
Tang Zheng was a little unexpected, but then put the matter aside for the time being. He coughed lightly and then said: "In the first stage, shouting slogans, and practicing physical fitness in the second stage. I will ask someone to set up a training ground next to the workshop, equipped with stone and threshing locks and other objects. In addition, I will dig trenches, pile up walls, imitate the dangerous mountains and forests, and practice fighting against each other... I will even pull the team above the Yi River and throw the soldiers into the river to practice swimming. This stage is the most difficult, but my requirements are also the strictest. I will also practice with it, and I will not be able to end if I do not practice myself every day."
Tang Zheng said this, what else do you dare to say? Since ancient times, this has been the case with military training. You have to sweat to exercise your body.
However, Wu Qiong was a little worried and couldn't help but say, "If you practice so hard, you may be tired and sick."
Tang Zheng looked at him and smiled and said, "I know your concerns. I have thought about it in advance. The second stage of strong training will inevitably consume the soldiers' physical strength. If they are not replenished in time, they may lose their health. Therefore, in the second stage, I will increase the supply of meat, and all soldiers will have to eat two meals of meat every day..."
With a gurgle, everyone swallowed their saliva.
It's not greedy, but scared.
How much does it cost to have two meals of meat a day for two thousand people?
The little lord looked a little pale and suddenly whispered: "Tang Zheng, I don't have that many private rooms. Two thousand people will have to spend at least 500 stags of meat for a month..."
Tang Zheng looked at her and said solemnly: "I pay half of it, you pay half, I borrow the income from the persimmon industry first, and you think of a solution for the half... Li Qian, if you plan to tie it with me, then you must find a way to do this money."
The little lord gritted his teeth and said, "I have a few treasure jewelry. I ordered someone to take them to those big cities in Luoyang to sell them. Maybe you can get five hundred trump cards, so you don't need to use the income from the persimmon industry. After all, it's just beginning, and you have to settle the wages for the hired workers..."
Tang Zheng thought for a while, and Zheng pointed at it, "If this is the case, then thank you."
The little lord sighed quietly, suddenly said something plausible, and said softly: "I have invested so much, and I don't know if there will be any rewards in the future. I have been spoiled since I was a child, but I have been working hard to change."
Tang Zheng's heart moved and suddenly patted her shoulders gently.
