Chapter 979 Knocking on the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger
The first two months of recruit training are mainly obedience discipline training.
Guys who fail to pass the training for ten consecutive days will be removed from the military camp directly, and the best ones from the auxiliary soldiers will be replaced in order.
Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat, and he is well aware of the long-standing disadvantages of treating guests, giving gifts, and building relationships through the back door in the military.
All auxiliary soldiers who have been replaced will participate in the assessment personally chaired by Yuzhu.
"All of you, stand at attention."
"turn right."
"To the left."
"Let's go together."
"Stand firm!"
"First row, walk ten steps forward."
"Third row, turn back and take three steps forward."
After strict assessment, most of the auxiliary soldiers who were replaced were qualified soldiers.
However, there are still fishermen who fish in troubled waters.
Turning right became turning left.
Take ten steps forward, always half a step too late and one step behind.
There are eleven people in total among these fake people.
In advance, Yuzhu had already given a warning in advance. Anyone who failed the assessment would not only be dismissed immediately, but the corresponding recommenders would also be punished.
Eleven people, each beating ten military sticks, drove them out of the military camp.
The three non-commissioned officers who recommended them had their warrants issued by Yuzhu himself and were dismissed from the military and would never be used again!
"Captain Shan, please look at the student who has been following me for many years. Please give me a chance to change my ways. I beg you."
"Chief, the student is wrong. He shouldn't have drunk a few bottles of wine and then slapped his chest randomly..."
"Chief, for the sake of fellow villagers, the student did not strictly control the situation. You can punish him in any way. Please don't expel him from the military, okay..."
Yuzhu smiled and said coldly: "One day, because they became deserters and exposed me to the enemy's gun, won't the enemy stop shooting?"
"You go, my temple is small and I can't support predators like you." Yuzhu waved his hand, and the military police immediately swarmed up and "invited" these old subordinates out of the military camp.
"Chief, are you too harsh?" Lu Wu, the commander of the town, thought at first that Yuzhu was just trying to show off, but he didn't expect that he actually acted for real.
"Changsong, if the civil servants engage in fraud, they will surely enrich their own pockets, and the people will be filled with resentment, and even the people will be hungry. If the military generals practice favoritism and cheat, the army will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed." Yuzhu said coldly, "If you feel that the restrictions are too strict, you can get rid of them yourself.
Wouldn't it be very free and easy to take off the military uniform and go back to your hometown to work on farming or do business?"
Lu Wu was horrified and quickly knelt down, kowtowed heavily and said: "How dare you, student, have such a rebellious heart?"
"Humph, I'm afraid you don't dare!" Yuzhu said viciously, "As long as you dare to practice favoritism and promote those losers with strong backing, then we have to see whether it is your neck that is hard or the executioner's ghost.
Hard on the head?"
"Students must not dare!" Lu Wu finally understood that driving away the three non-commissioned officers was just an added bonus. What Yuzhu really wanted to beat was his Zhentong.
"Changsong, please listen to me. No matter how much you like your own confidant, you can't be promoted if you don't have real ability. Do you understand?" Yuzhu understands the twists and turns in the army better than Lao Si.
Where did the mountains in the army come from?
That is, when superiors promote junior officers, they only consider the closeness of the relationship or the amount of flattery and gifts, but not whether they have real ability.
The bigger the mountain is, the more things that violate the regulations will be done!
In the future, after the army moves south or west, who will be stationed in the big cities and who will be stationed in the difficult outposts in the ice and snow?
Often, people who stay in the headquarters are not only promoted quickly, but also transfer to other places, which are also good places.
On the contrary, the honest people stationed at the border posts did not know how to flatter others and had no money to give gifts. As a result, they suffered a lot as a soldier and still suffered a big loss after changing jobs.
Yuzhu was too aware of the twists and turns inside, so he took advantage of the expansion of the new army and the hilltop had not yet been established to set a good rule for his old subordinates.
When arrangements are made for job transfers in the future, officers stationed in big cities will first have their points reduced by 200 points. Those stationed at border posts will receive an additional 200 points. Officers serving in major headquarters will have their points reduced the most, up to 500 points.
Those who have achieved military merit will also receive bonus points.
Military cadres will all be graded one by one during the exercise.
Those who can go up, those who can’t go down!
The drills are all poorly conducted, so if a war breaks out, do you still expect to win?
Anyway, Yuzhu has long made up his mind that in the future, all transferred officers will be free to choose their positions based on their total scores, from high to low.
If you have a high score, you can freely choose to join the police, tax bureau, customs and anti-smuggling bureau and other real-power departments. If you have a low score, if you really have no job, you can only take the money and leave and go home to enjoy the happiness.
Treat everyone equally, no exceptions.
Only such an army can always be invincible.
Otherwise, my biological father is very powerful, and his future is better than others, and his salary is high. He is corrupted very quickly. What is the difference between him and the current Eight Banners Soldiers in Beijing?
If things go on like this, is that okay?
The dismissal of three non-commissioned officers once again shocked the entire New Army, and everyone saw Yuzhu's determination to strive for fairness.
"Bah bang bang..." After the queue training was basically completed, the newly recruited soldiers of the new army began shooting training.
Due to historical conditions, the entire shooting action of a muzzleloader gun is many times more complex than modern times.
Within the reach of the naked eye, there are many cases where people make fools of themselves.
Right under Yuzhu's nose, a recruit was so panicked that he loaded ammunition into the barrel of his gun twice.
Yuzhu watched with cold eyes. He realized that the main reason was that the non-commissioned officers were too far away and the recruits did not hear the command clearly.
In the era of line infantry, it was impossible to attack and advance in the form of skirmishers.
In the era of muzzle-loading flintlock guns, three columns of soldiers, following the rhythm of the military drum, risked death, marched 50-60 meters in front of the enemy's line, listened to the command, and fired together. This required great courage.
.
The New Army is Yuzhu who brings out the shit and piss. He knows the difficult issues and psychological problems in shooting training very well.
At the beginning, it was quite normal to be in a hurry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. The more you do it, the more you will become proficient.
Of course, the key to shooting training is to absolutely obey the officer's command.
During battle, any soldier who fires without permission without hearing the command will be brought to court-martial.
Because Alice secretly spent a lot of money, Yuzhu obtained a battlefield report from the top brass of the British Army.
Even for well-trained British lobster soldiers, when facing a battle, the firing ratio of the first salvo is only 90% at the highest, and it can never be 100%.
The more times you reload, the higher the chance of error.
To put it bluntly, after three rows of infantry fired three volleys, due to fear and nervousness, the movements were deformed, so the success rate of reloading was always less than 60%.
War is a science, not a metaphysics.
It is precisely because someone summarized the error rate of loading that it is so amazing.
Therefore, the British lobster soldiers simply advanced to a distance of fifty meters from the enemy and fired three volleys.
According to the statistics of the British army, when shooting at such a close distance, basically, after three volleys, the enemy army collapsed.
What Yuzhu didn't know was that the Imperial Guards in their heyday would only fire a salvo when they got close to 40 meters.
Such a close distance can almost cause the terrifying killing effect of machine gun fire. It only takes one salvo to collapse the enemy.
After watching the shooting training of the new recruits, Yuzhu went to the artillery again.
After all, artillery is Yuzhu's treasure.
In today's artillery camp, artillery officers all have temporary positions.
After the training is completed, the British and French instructors will make suggestions respectively, and Yuzhu will make the official appointment as appropriate.
There is no problem of worshiping foreigners, mainly the British and French. They are not as smart as the Qing people, and they are more rigid in doing things.
What's more important is that the foreigners and the artillery officers under Yuzhu's staff are not related to each other nor have any interests in each other, so they must be relatively fair.
Besides, Yuzhu offered clear rewards to the British and French artillery instructors.
A group of artillerymen who pass the training will be rewarded with 5 pounds. Ten groups of artillerymen will be rewarded with 50 pounds.
How can it be possible to raise troops, especially artillery, without burning money?
Are there no charges for cannonballs? Are there no charges for gunpowder? Are there no charges for the wear and tear of gun barrels? Are there no charges for military pay?
However, the French instructor took the initiative and proposed that instead of pounds sterling, he wanted silver coins "sol", or gold coins "gold Eju" and "gold Louis".
In France at this time, the French franc was not yet a unified standard currency, and the sol (also known as "Sous", sous) was the popular silver coin.
One pound of silver can be minted into 66 soles. One gold Louis is equal to 24 livres, and one gold écud'or is equal to 6 livres.
The artillery branch is very professional.
Naturally, Yuzhu, who wanted to ask for help, readily agreed to the French artillery instructor's reasonable request.
Inside the monocular telescope, Yuzhu was delighted to find that several groups of artillery units stood out among the many artillery units.
How to put it this way, the reloading is extremely fast, the ignition is timely, and the secondary launch is equally fast and reasonable.
Uh-huh, let's just say that under heavy rewards, there must be brave men!
The foreign devils, who came all the way from Europe, did not want to make a fortune, but did they want to make a contribution?
Seeing that Yuzhu was in a good mood, Liu Shenghong, the artillery commander who accompanied him, quickly suggested: "Captain, please get off your horse and take a break and have a sip of tea?"
Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile: "The training progress is very good. You must remember that if a group passes the test, the reward will be reported. You must not delay for too long."
"Captain, don't worry, old man. When the students received the money for the first time and it was given to the foreign instructors, oh, they were so excited that they sang and danced and celebrated for a long time.
"Liu Shenghong vividly told the embarrassing stories of the foreign instructors.
"Well, that's how it works!" Yuzhu was well versed in the psychology of foreigners. He deliberately did not give out bounties at the last time, but instead gave out bounties on the spot to a group that had successfully trained and passed the test.
This is just like the migrant workers on the construction site. They would rather get less money and hope to get wages every day.
Having money in your pocket will give you enough energy to work the next day!
