Ruan Dacheng nodded and followed Jiang Fan towards the east garden of Ye Zhai.
The gatehouse in the Ye Family Courtyard was burned down. Before Zhuang Ban came in, there were many beggars living there. Now Ruan Dacheng helped Pang Yu get the right to use it. Pang Yu didn't know how to repair the gate, so he erected it in front of the burned gatehouse.
A red flag was raised for the strong class, and two fast players were arranged to guard the gate.
"Bantou Pang is training his troops in the garden?
How many people have you hired? Will the garden be enough?"
"Replying to Mr. Ruan, the first batch of fifty people were recruited. After three days of training, seven people left voluntarily, and six people were left vacant by Pantou Pang to go home. The second batch of fifty people has just been recruited today.
, Bantou Pang is practicing in the East Garden."
Ruan Dacheng waved towards Jiang Fan, indicating to lead the way.
Ruan Dacheng has been rehearsing the consort recently. Pang Yu wrote the script in great detail, but Pang Yu can't write tunes. When he encountered a longer aria, Ruan Dacheng would come to Pang Yu. The two of them had to sing more
I've been there several times, usually in the garden of Pang Yu's home.
Ruan Dacheng came early today and went directly to the Ye family's old house. He also planned to take a look at the strong class training, although he didn't think the training was very important.
As a high-level intellectual, he recognized Pang Yu's bravery, but he did not think that Pang Yu had the ability to plan and command. That had to be determined by the civil servants.
When he came outside the East Garden, it was quiet inside. There was no scene of people shouting to kill Zhentian as he imagined. Ruan Dacheng curiously entered the East Garden. The previous bamboo fence had been completely demolished. The bamboo fence stone cave was the most interesting thing in the East Garden.
Not only is the bamboo fence gone in this artistic place, but even the rockery cave has been demolished.
Ruan Dacheng suddenly felt a little heartbroken, just like a beautiful woman in a boudoir who was raped by a group of bumpkins.
Fortunately, Ye Can will definitely not come back. This house not only lost lives but also suffered a fire. It is very unlucky in the eyes of many people. It will not be sold in the foreseeable future. If Zhuang Ban does not move in, he will be beggars.
What a waste.
So when Ruan Dacheng thought about it, he didn't feel sorry for Ye Can.
The fifty people from the second group stood in five rows, which was still relatively orderly. This time, five people from the first group came and were in the first row, with their backs to the wooden platform, helping to maintain order.
There are still silver coins and roasted meat on the wooden table.
"Why are you still practicing silent standing after all these days? Is this how your squad leader practices?"
Jiang Fan nodded firmly, "This is the second batch. The class leader said that all newcomers must start from standing still."
Ruan Dacheng shook his head, "You have to move to win a war. No one can kill a thief standing still.
You are still a young man, so you can't do whatever you want in practice. It seems that one day I will find an opportunity to give some advice to your squad leader."
Jiang Fan didn't reply. He didn't think Pang Yu would listen to Ruan Dacheng.
Ruan Dacheng looked around and happened to see Pang Yu's figure walking out from among the standing people.
Today is the first training day for the second batch of strong men. The gathering has just been completed, and Pang Yu is walking back and forth in front of the strong men.
"Today I meet you for the second time, and you all know who I am."
In the crowd of fifty people, Pang Yu didn't have to put too much effort into speaking, "What you will form is our strong squad in Tongcheng. Today, I will first tell you what the strong squad in Tongcheng is..." "This is the leader of squad Pang."
A farmer below said cautiously, "Can you give me some industrial money first so that I can use it at home?"
"If you want to quit, you can leave right away."
Pang Yu shouted loudly to the queue.
Two people in the back row stood up timidly. After Pang Yu asked their names, they waved their hands and the two people hurriedly ran out of the gate. Then four more people came out one after another, and Pang Yu was removed from the list.
At this time, after the baton beating, Pang Yu did not intend to keep this person. He would give him some medicine for his injuries, but he needed this person to spend more time to better deter these new recruits.
Pang Yu said to the veteran who was closest to him, "Zhuang Chaozheng, you are the first batch of outstanding people. Today you stand on the stage on my behalf. If you see anyone moving, drag it out and beat it."
Zhuang Chaozheng hurriedly agreed. He wanted to go on stage, but he didn't know whether it would be considered tampering. His body froze and he looked at Pang Yu.
“It’s only after it’s in place.”
Pang Yu waved his hand, and Zhuang Chaozheng quickly ran onto the stage.
Pang Yu took another look at the people in the front row. They were all the best performers in the first group. They all stood in reverse, facing Ding Zhuang at the back.
Select people with high obedience from the first batch and give them certain positions. The interests of these people will be consistent with Pang Yu's.
Let them manage the people who come later, so that the fast class people can gradually withdraw from the strong class system. If 192 people come at one time, a large number of fast class people will be needed to help maintain order, which will put many fast class people in the market.
Habits are passed on to Zhuang Ban.
That's why Pang Yu needs to practice batch by batch.
When Zhuang Chaozheng was in place, Pang Yu shouted, "Start the silent stand. I didn't say it was over. Anyone who dares to move will get fifty military sticks!"
After hearing the lesson from the farmer on the ground, the whole team stood in silence. Pang Yu took a satisfied look and then hurriedly walked to Ruan Dacheng's side.
"Mr. Ruan, I'm sorry for waiting for so long."
Ruan Dacheng waved his hand cheerfully, "It's a big deal to train soldiers and horses to relieve my emperor's worries. I am an idle mountain woodcutter, so I will wait for a while."
Pang Yu looked carefully at Ruan Dacheng's expression, and it didn't look like he was being sarcastic. He and Ruan Dacheng got along relatively well. In addition to Ruan Dacheng's desire to use his brand of calming chaos to deliberately make friends, Ruan Dacheng himself has a more forthright personality, which is also an important reason.
"The strong class can start training only because of the house borrowed from my husband. The Tongcheng strong class needs to thank you again."
"It's a little effort, nothing worth mentioning."
After Ruan Dacheng finished speaking, he asked with concern, "I heard the day before yesterday that the Zhuang class didn't have all the uniforms and equipment. If there is a shortage of money, I can help pay for the Zhuang class."
"I don't dare to disturb Mr. Ruan anymore. I have raised some ideas on my own, and that's enough for the time being."
Ruan Dacheng said earnestly, "But Pang Xiaoyou, there are some things I don't like to say.
Soldiers and horses are not trained to just walk or stand. I watched it several times. These strong men are either standing still or walking around in a queue every day. What kind of rules is this, Pang Xiaoyou?"
Pang Yu affectionately led Ruan Dacheng to the remaining Lanting Pavilion in the East Garden. As he walked, he said, "Most of the soldiers in this strong squad are farmers, because farmers are strong and hardworking, and do not have the slick and cunning atmosphere of the market.
It was originally an excellent source of troops.
But farmers also have their shortcomings, because they are in an individual working environment and lack some spirit of cooperation; in addition, in the self-sufficient economic environment in rural areas, if a rural family wants to maintain its life, the farmer in charge needs to engage in more than 20 different jobs.
When switching between tasks, it is difficult for people to concentrate, so farmers are bound to develop a tendency to be scatterbrained.
This is not something they are born with, but is caused by their working environment.
Mr. Ruan, if you observe carefully, among the earliest batch, the porters and stonemasons are more focused because they have been engaged in a single job for a long time and are used to obeying their customers."
This was the first time Ruan Dacheng heard someone analyze group behavior from a professional perspective. It was a bit new, but he also found it difficult to accept it for a while. "How can you build a strong army by just letting these farmers stand and walk around?"
Pang Yu smiled and said, "Of course it's not enough. This is just the first step, but it is also the most important step.
The best source of soldiers we can find in Tongcheng is still these farmers. When training them, we must specifically target their previous shortcomings.
Standing still seems useless on the surface, but with a military stick, they can train them to focus and obey, which is the basis of discipline. Then there is the queue, followed by teamwork training. Through changes in behavioral habits, the previous society
Shredding your personality into pieces and reshaping it into what the army needs is the spiritual foundation for a strong army. You cannot be sloppy at all. If you do this step well, you will get twice the result with half the effort in future military training."
Ruan Dacheng opened his mouth. It was indeed the first time he heard what Pang Yu said. Some of the terms sounded specious.
In short, it was completely different from the tactics of war that he had known before, but he was not easily persuaded. After staying for a while, he asked, "After Pang Xiaoyou has practiced these silent stands, formations, etc., what will he practice next?"
Pang Yu smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Ruan will know then."
Ruan Dacheng nodded and smiled at Pang Yu, "It's okay to keep it a secret from me. I need to leave more time to rehearse the show. Today I came to tell you that I have roughly arranged the part of 'My Girlfriend's Hairpin Dress'."
The lyrics are too long, so I have to practice it with Pang Xiaoyou again."
"A thunderbolt broke through the clear sky, and the consort turned out to be a woman!"
Ruan Dacheng hummed a tune and strode towards the Orchid Pavilion in the East Garden.
Pang Yu frowned and murmured from behind, "Yeah, I haven't thought about what I want them to practice in the back, knives, guns, bows and arrows?
