Although the training of the soldiers was somewhat harsh and arduous, Zhang Xiaowu was very good at adjusting the rhythm and even taught them to sing ballads. Originally, the Han army did not have military songs. Compared with the surrounding foreigners, the Han people were neither good at singing nor dancing.
, they are good at construction and farming, so wherever there are Han people, there must be food and cities.
Zhang Xiaowu, however, asked the soldiers to shout and sing military songs. He even took out several songs adapted from his previous life, such as "Serve the Country with Loyalty," "War Hymn of a Strong Army," "Men Should Be Strong," and "Heaven and Earth Are in My Heart," and asked the soldiers and soldiers to sing while resting.
Must Shout Chang, everyone just thought it was a bit fun at first, and they learned to sing it after listening to it. When they were training hard, they found that singing could relieve fatigue, so they unconsciously sang to relieve the pain, and the effect was very good.
After a few days of training, the soldiers learned that the real leader of the Death Soldier Battalion was Colonel Zhang Xiaowu, and his nickname was Ghost General. Everyone was also very curious about the origin of the nickname "Ghost General".
Soldiers and civilians would misrepresent stories and amplify Zhang Xiaowu's experience. For many soldiers who first came to Saibei, they needed a heroic figure to support themselves and give them the confidence to face the battlefield and more difficult environment, so Zhang Xiaowu was only
The legendary figure who was promoted from a soldier to a colonel in just three months has become an idol and pillar in everyone's hearts.
"Idol" Zhang Xiaowu often tells the soldiers some battlefield skills, but he does not do it to show off to the soldiers, but to tell them the cruelty of war and to teach them survival experience. The soldiers are very familiar with the battlefield.
They are afraid of strangers, but they also naively believe that they will not die. Many people even privately believe that they will become heroes in novels. Zhang Xiaowu knows that the first thing they do on the battlefield is not to become heroes, but to become cannon fodder.
Zhang Xiaowu used his own experience to tell everyone that the battlefield is not a novel. Hu Li even once told the soldiers that the Wuhuan white devils were no big deal and he killed several of them - then he was scolded by Zhang Xiaowu and said
He asked the soldiers to die. On the battlefield, soldiers can only defeat the enemy if they survive. No matter how brave the soldiers are, they are nothing more than a speck of dust. Soldiers must first learn to protect themselves, and then learn to kill the enemy.
At first, the soldiers took the commander Zhang Xiaowu's advice very seriously, but as time went by, everyone agreed on the surface but didn't believe it privately. The soldiers in the death camp admired Zhang Xiaowu very much, and everyone understood that a fierce general's subordinates can certainly
If you gain fame, you will die quickly, but if you follow a brave and resourceful general like Zhang Xiaowu on the battlefield, you will definitely live longer.
What the old soldiers think about is not killing the enemy, but how to live longer and wait until the war is over to return home to their parents, wives and children.
"Then why did you say that to them?" Zhang Xiaowu asked Hu Li.
Hu Li chuckled: "I was afraid of scaring these people when they arrived at the battlefield. When they heard the sound of killing, they would be so scared that they wet their pants and dare not move. They would not know how to resist when they were attacked with swords." What he and Zhang Xiaowu did was not wrong.
, It’s just that the concepts are different. Zhang Xiaowu tells everyone about the evils on the battlefield, so that more people can learn the ability to protect themselves and survive, while Hu Li tells everyone about the good things on the battlefield, so as to increase everyone’s courage.
Let everyone have the confidence to live.
"Did you pee your pants in the first battle?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile. He also knew that Hu Li had done nothing wrong. The two of them had nothing to argue about, so they changed the subject.
Hu Li scratched his head and said: "This is all experience. I won't mention it anymore. I won't mention it anymore. Sir, I have made two bottles of good wine. Let's have some drinks?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You must have cheated me from the epidemic camp."
"I met a fool who came from a wealthy family. He thought he would be a hero in a novel when he went to the battlefield. But before he met the Wuhuan people, he was shot through by a rain of arrows. Fortunately, there was a bow and arrow.
It only shot through his shoulder but did not kill him. Those two fools will never
He dared to go to the battlefield, so he spent money to escape in the epidemic camp." Hu Li said with a smile, "Sir, you don't know that there are everyone in the epidemic camp, injured, pretending to be injured, and injuring themselves.
Yes, alas - when did our Holy Han Forbidden Army get mixed up with so many ghosts and monsters?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "They are self-aware and know what they are capable of. Since they are timid and incompetent, they might as well go home and have children and get by, just in case the children have success in the future."
Hu Li asked how an army with timid soldiers could win a war. If the Imperial Guards were all as timid as mice, there would be no need to fight this war. Zhang Xiaowu said that it doesn't matter if you are timid. As long as the war comes, the soldiers will pick up their swords and guns without killing people in their hearts.
They also started killing people crazily in the next second. But when soldiers go to the battlefield, they must remember two things. One is to obey military orders, and the other is to save themselves. Most people are not ten against a hundred against a thousand against ten thousand.
Zhang Xiaowu later discovered that in fact, in terms of training soldiers, the most outstanding officer in the death camp was Shen Lindong. He was not only experienced and good at summarizing and improving, but also a good soldier. Although Zhang Xiaowu thought that there were many more scientific
It is an effective training method, but after all, it is a training method in the era of hot weapons. In this world where cold weapons are the norm, the ancient knowledge of training and camping is not only necessary, but also must be learned.
Zhang Xiaowu is a person who knows his mistakes and can correct them. He immediately corrected his thoughts and re-employed Shen Lindong. Shen Lindong was appointed as the general training manager of the Death Soldier Battalion and the leader of the training of 5,000 recruits. Seeing that Zhang Xiaowu valued him more, Shen Lindong became more positive.
Not at all like the cautious and decadent look of the past.
With Shen Lindong's training, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly had more time. At this time, Hu Sanwan recommended a talent named Wen Ruyu. Hu Sanwan introduced that Wen Ruyu originally served as the commander of the supply camp in the White Tiger Army and accompanied him many times.
He fought with the White Tiger Army from the Black Forest in the Kanto region to the Yeya Terrace in the southwest. From the expedition to the Western Region to quelling the civil strife, he fought for eight consecutive years. He accumulated merit but was only promoted to a very high position. He really killed many rebels.
Military and aliens.
However, Wen Ruyu was unlucky because his boss was embezzling money from the army. Although Wen Ruyu was not involved in the corruption, he was a fellow countryman in his official position, and many of his fellow villagers took care of him in the army. Although he repeatedly dissuaded him, he was ignored by his fellow villagers. Later, the corruption in the official position was exposed, and many people misunderstood him.
Thinking that he was a whistleblower, they not only ostracized him in the army, but also beat him several times in private, so that he could no longer stay in the White Tiger Army.
It happened that the prince led the Qinglong Army to fight against the rebels in the north, and Wen Ruyu was able to join the Qinglong Army. She had caught the opponent cheating while gambling, and couldn't help but fight, so she was sent to the Death Soldier Camp.
Zhang Xiaowu thought that Wen Ruyu's name sounded like a girl, but his character was so upright. He asked Hu Sanwan why he recommended Wen Ruyu. Hu Sanwan said: "This person has a strong personality, is serious about not rubbing the sand, and can't tolerate corruption. I think it must be
Helpful for adults.
Although I am not very capable, I do not begrudge those who are capable. The most I can do in the army is a corps commander, but now that I have become a captain, I feel ashamed and unworthy. The more I think about it, the more panic I get. I might as well recommend someone who is capable.
I will manage the baggage together so as not to delay your lord's military affairs."
Zhang Xiaowu laughed and asked Zhao Suo to go to the city to buy wine and invite his generals to a banquet to eat meat and drink together and have a happy gathering.
Now Zhang Xiaowu's closest confidants include Wu Song, Wang Yijin, Chen Guanxi, Zhao Suo, Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Zu Gongmao, Shen Lindong, Guancheng, Cao Li, Hu Sanwan, Wen Ruyu, and Li Chuncheng. Among them, Wang Yijin, Chen Guanxi and Zhao
Suo was the first to follow him, and although he was weak in ability, he was rarely loyal; Wu Song, Hu Sanwan, and Wen Ruyu were responsible for logistics; the rest were responsible for leading the troops, but they seemed to be well-equipped in both civil and military affairs.
Everyone was drinking and eating meat. Zhang Xiaowu suddenly discovered that the newly attracted Wen Ruyu actually didn't drink at all, and Li Chuncheng actually never got drunk. He was very interested and asked everyone to take turns drinking with Li Chuncheng, but he didn't want to be drunk by Li Chuncheng one by one.
Zhang Xiaowu knows that there is a kind of people who are innately immune to alcohol or excrete the alcohol quickly after drinking. Such people are all heroes in wine and overlords in wine. Li Chuncheng has great martial arts and is even more powerful at the wine table.
Killing gods and Buddhas blocked killing Buddhas, and when Li Chuncheng toasted him in the end, Zhang Xiaowu ran away to drink with Wu Song, a scholar.
Although Wu Song is a scholar, he has a large capacity for drinking. After drinking three bowls with Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaowu quickly said that he drank too much and needed to slow down. Wu Song smiled while stroking his goatee, and suddenly mentioned that there was a place in his hometown of Yangzhou.
, it is called Shazhou Island, covering an area of a thousand acres. The island stands in the middle of the Yangzi River and is made of silt. Because every year when the Yangzi River floods, half of the Shazhou Island will be submerged, and the other half will be soaked in the water.
It is an ownerless land. If Shazhou Island can be purchased, it will be enough to house many veterans.
Zhang Xiaowu immediately thought of Chongming Island in later generations, but these are two different worlds. He did not know the specific situation of the so-called Shazhou Island, but since it was an ownerless land, if they occupied it, they would be free of money for part of the land. After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaowu
After letting Wusong return to the Central Plains with the veterans, he immediately occupied Shazhou Island and spent money to repair flood control dams, turning the useless island into the last resort for everyone.
"I'll be here for at least three months, and at most half a year. You must be careful of being stabbed in the back." Wusong took a sip of wine and suddenly said, "Although you saved General Cheng, this man has a poor life. The key is
Time may not help you.”
Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "Of course I know that there are more than 800 people in our camp of dead soldiers, and we must return to the Central Plains alive."
When the generals saw that the new commander, Wen Ruyu, was very shy, they switched from Li Chuncheng to him for the crusade. Wen Ruyu refused, but he only took a sip, and then he became red all over and his face looked like a cooked crab, which really made everyone laugh.
Hu Li patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "How do you meet a married girl?"
Wen Ruyu said depressedly: "I've had this problem since I was a child. After drinking alcohol, it feels like I've been steamed..."
"It's okay, it's okay. You can have a drink. Don't worry about whether you are red or not. The person here who likes to be red the most is the Colonel." Hu Sanwan joked, "Every time he comes back covered in blood.
"
Wen Ruyu was a military general and had killed several enemies with a knife. She was not afraid of being drunk by others, so she drank with everyone. When it was finally her turn to toast Zhang Xiaowu, he raised his glass and said to Zhang Xiaowu:
"My lord——" Then he fell to the ground with a plop, completely drunk.
