Although He Zhang is already at an age where he knows his destiny, he is still strong and full of energy, and his voice is still loud. Most of the soldiers under the high platform heard his loud shouts!
After hearing He Zhang's inquiry, the soldiers were in an uproar.
In this era, there is no sense of nationality, let alone a sense of national honor! The vast majority of soldiers join the army just to make a living, and they work hard on the battlefield for the reward of silver. Not many people have the honor of dying on the battlefield.
The consciousness of sacrificing one’s life for one’s country.
In fact, in the military camp, words such as "death in battle", "sacrifice" and "casualties" have always been taboo. Military attachés would never mention them casually for fear of damaging morale and disturbing the morale of the army. But now He Zhangze
It was shouted in public, and the soldiers were asked to choose between "dying on the battlefield" and "making meritorious deeds."
Why do you need to make a choice? Any normal person knows which one to choose.
The soldiers of the new Zhanbing Army were all veterans, and few had stage fright at this time. After hearing He Zhang's loud questions, some people answered loudly one after another.
"Of course it's to make great achievements and return home in glory!"
"Only a fool wants to die on the battlefield!"
"I just got a wife, and I don't know which bastard I'm going to take advantage of if I die outside!"
Some of the answers were extremely rude, causing a burst of laughter. The entire training ground seemed noisy and unruly, but He Zhang was not angry. He was not an elegant person either. He even believed that such vulgar behavior was part of the blood and bravery of the soldiers.
When the noise stopped, He Zhang shouted again: "Now, the imperial envoy has summoned you to form a new army of soldiers. He has gathered nearly half of the elites from Shaanxi and Gansu, and has given the most generous military pay and rewards. There will be the best in the future."
The armor and logistics of the soldiers... But on the contrary, the new army of soldiers will also face the most ferocious enemies in the future! Appearing on the most anxious battlefield! Fighting a tough battle with the most elite Mongolian army! If you win, you will win every day.
Everyone will be promoted and make a fortune, and gain a lot of rewards. If you lose, most of you will die on the battlefield! Do you want to win? Or do you want to lose?"
This is still a question that can be answered without thinking.
Moreover, Zhao Junchen's ideological mobilization work during this period has indeed been effective.
Therefore, once again, the soldiers responded in confusion: "We must win!", "Of course we must win! Kill those beastly Tatars!"
After hearing the answer, He Zhang's expression became more serious and said: "If you want to win, you must be stronger than those Mongolian Tatars, otherwise everything you say will be false! If you want to be stronger than those Mongolian Tatars, you
You need to practice hard on weekdays! Otherwise, you will only die on the battlefield! I just watched your training! Some people are lazy, some are playing, and some are chatting. Even if a few soldiers practice seriously, they are still unorganized.
! The wars in the future will not be the small fights of the past! If you continue to practice like this, how will you save your lives on the battlefield? How will you make contributions and make a fortune?
Of course, I can’t blame you for these situations! It’s because the former leading general Hong Gaogong didn’t control you seriously! He doesn’t care whether you live or die on the battlefield. Even if most of you die, as long as you defeat the Mongols, he can get military merit.
, rise to the top! So, after I came here, I immediately blew him away! Because I am your coach! I am responsible for you! I want each of you to walk off the battlefield alive! I hope that every one of you will
Everyone can return home in glory! Therefore, I will no longer let you off like Hong Gaogong. From today on, I will strictly urge you to practice, and I will even punish you severely for practicing!
In the next period of time, there will definitely be many people who hate me so much that they gnash their teeth at me, but it doesn’t matter! I hope you still hate me in ten or twenty years! That means you at least survived the battlefield! And, at that time, you
He must have received a large amount of silver reward, owned his own land, and maybe even became the chief flag officer, the official of hundreds of households or even the official of thousands of households!"
In this way, He Zhang kept shouting loudly, his face gradually became ferocious, and his voice gradually became hoarse, making people feel crazy and credible.
Standing behind He Zhang and listening to He Zhang's speech, the officers were truly filled with admiration.
Who said He Zhang didn't have scheming ideas? These words are very learned! In just a few words, He Zhang made himself the spokesman for the interests of all soldiers, alienating all soldiers from Hong Gaogong and getting close to him, and even lured them
Use profit, explain it with reason, threaten it with life! Let all the soldiers understand!
At the same time, the soldiers under the high platform also listened carefully. Thinking of He Zhang's reputation and prestige over the years, many people looked convinced, obviously agreeing with He Zhang's reasoning.
Then, Zhang Cheng's heart moved, but he suddenly knelt down on one knee beside He Zhang and said loudly: "We will obey General He's order! Practice hard and kill the enemy bravely!"
Under the leadership of Zhang Cheng, everyone on the training ground, including military attachés and soldiers, paid military salutes to He Zhang and shouted in unison: "We will obey General He's orders! Practice hard! Kill the enemy bravely!"
"
Seeing everyone's expressions, He Zhang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Cheng, his eyes flashing with appreciation once again.
Then, He Zhang shouted again: "In order to train you and defeat the Mongolian Tatars on the battlefield, I will announce three military orders here! First, from today on, all soldiers must obey military orders unconditionally, and any violation will be serious.
Punishment! Second, from today on, the soldiers of the new army will be divided into groups of ten and fifty, with those who are brave and brave as captains and those who are popular among the people as captains! Third, from today on, every morning and evening,
The entire team was assembled twice, and everyone in the ten slowest teams had their meals halved! In the ten fastest teams, all their meals had meat added!
In addition, I will announce two more things! First, I came to Huamachi Camp and brought two hundred of my own guards, who were also divided into four teams and twenty teams, all the teams of the new army.
You can challenge them at any time. The winning team's military salary will be increased by 10%. Each person can drink a bowl of wine that night. The team leader and captain can be promoted, and those with outstanding performance can take over the positions of team leader and captain! As for the second thing
…”
Having said this, He Zhang turned his eyes to Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi, and shouted: "Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi of the 100 households violated military regulations today. In order to set an example to others, we are warning everyone."
Soldiers, to show the determination of the Governor-General's Office, I have been ordered by the Imperial Envoy to punish three people with canes in front of all the soldiers. Liu Man has ten ox canes and a month's pay! Zhang Cheng and Li Pi have five canes and a half month's pay!
...Are you three convinced?"
Hearing He Zhang's announcement, everyone was in an uproar again!
These three people are the most powerful and influential military attachés in the New Army. After He Zhang took over the New Army, not only did he not win over them, but the first thing he did was to punish them with a stick?
After being shocked, everyone felt the power of military regulations, and He Zhang Liwei's goal was achieved.
Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi were already mentally prepared. After looking at each other, they also replied in unison: "Those in humble positions and others should be punished for violating military regulations. I am convinced and do not dare to question!"
He Zhang nodded, waved his hand and said: "When someone comes, I will serve you with a military stick!"
In this way, in front of all the soldiers, He Zhangzhang punished Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi.
Taking this as a starting point, He Zhang's actions to train the new army also started with great vigor!
