Chapter 30 Training the Army
After dark, when everything was quiet, with a weak candlelight, Li Ping and Song Baolai sat in the small yard halfway up the hill and talked about private topics leisurely while enjoying the shade.

More than a dozen selected close soldiers and guards were guarding from a distance outside the courtyard.

The night, the candlelight and the silence all around let the tense nerves finally relax.

Li Ping also confessed to Song Baolai his thoughts on personnel matters.

He hoped that Song Baolai would not only serve as his deputy, but also serve as the battalion officer of the security battalion.

The support battalion is an organization that Li Ping intends to establish parallel to the army, not just a simple logistics department, in order to realize the basic and complete separation of the military and the civilians.

In this way, the army can concentrate on military affairs rather than combatants on production, which is very conducive to the professionalization and simplification of both aspects as much as possible, and it is especially beneficial to Li Ping to complete the training and control of the core army as soon as possible.

All women, craftsmen, old and weak, and young and strong who are not suitable for serving as soldiers will all be incorporated into the support battalion and basically separated from the residential training area of ​​​​the troops to ensure that they will not interfere with each other as much as possible.

In the future, Li Ping will only focus on the military, and will not interfere too much with logistical support.

In order to show his attitude, Li Ping handed over all the gold and silver treasures hidden in the house to Song Baolai.

Although the candlelight was very dim, and the gold and silver were soft and not very shiny, Song Baolai\'s eyes were still full of green light when he saw so much real gold and silver displayed so close in front of him, and he couldn\'t restrain his excitement.

He touched and looked at each piece of gold and silver happily for a long time, but Song Baolai hesitated about Li Ping\'s appointment of him as a security battalion officer.

He was very uncertain about managing as many as 600 people at once, which was far beyond the number of workers he had managed when he opened a small factory. He felt that the challenge was too great and he seemed unable to do it.

But Li Ping insisted, because there is no one more suitable than Song Baolai, and Li Ping also promised that the army will be his strong backing.

In the end, under Li Pingdong\'s repeated persuasion with emotion and reason, Song Baolai reluctantly agreed to give it a try.

The major event has been decided, and the two immediately began to discuss the continued construction of the camp and personnel issues, and a deeper dialogue began to communicate without shy away.

I don\'t know how long it took, when they called back the guard soldiers in the distance with dry mouth, all the guard soldiers were yawning again and again.

When he finally fell asleep, Li Ping, who was already very tired, was still tossing and turning, and Song Baolai, who was sleeping beside him and always had a big heart, was also tossing and turning, which was rare.

The personnel issues, organizational structure issues, and future production issues of the support battalion are more troublesome than military issues, and it is even more difficult to start without in-depth thinking.

Song Baolai\'s head is probably too big.

Before breakfast the next day, Li Ping started to pick and choose according to the established plan.

In the end, he only selected more than 500 of the more than 450 qualified young men as soldiers. Some people who were weak and sick were screened out, and even some of the veterans who followed him all the way to the south were also eliminated Reluctantly eliminated.

Even so, not all of these 450 people are Li Ping\'s favorites, and there are only about 200 people he can barely fancy.But he really couldn\'t let so many adult men go to work, and there were too few troops, so he had to hold his nose and do it for the time being.

These more than 450 young and strong, Li Ping organized them into 3 sentries, each sentry has 3 teams and a team of 6 to 10 people, and each team has 3 teams, and each team has 3 teams, 5 people per team.

This is a typical three-three system command structure.

In order to facilitate the command, make it easier for the soldiers to clarify the battalion, and weaken the personal color of the grassroots leaders, Li Ping adopted the simple numbering method of later generations:

段强为1哨哨长，下辖1队、2队和3队。胡忠山为2哨哨长，下辖4队、5队和6队。马永为3哨哨长，下辖7队、8队和9队。

Shi\'s counting is directly arranged from 1 to 10 for each whistle, but Wu did not number it.

Li Ping did not intend to change the names of the various organizational units in the battalion. Although the Ming army\'s organization was very chaotic during this period, and there were various names and names, he did not dare to make it too different.

Although the organization system and habitual names he is familiar with have already been deeply rooted in his bones, causing him to often unconsciously get confused, but he still chooses to be cautious first, and it is still difficult for him to grasp whether being too different will cause trouble.

The group reorganization seems simple, but the workload is not small at all, especially Li Ping has not communicated with the three whistle chiefs before, and he has never released any rumors.

Everything was very sudden, and it took a lot of time just to announce the order and organize the personnel of each Shi, and then Li Ping\'s consideration of candidates was only up to the Shi level, and the appointment of each corporal commander had to be decided by each sentry commander .

Digesting and assimilating so much personnel information and familiarizing with subordinates made all the leaders, big and small, no longer interested in other matters, and the construction work had to be completely stopped in the morning.

Here Li Ping was busy organizing the troops, and Song Baolai was also busy organizing the preliminary division of labor for the support battalion. The situation on his side was more complicated, especially since he was still unfamiliar with most of the personnel.

In the afternoon, when the construction work finally started again, the benefits brought by the clear organization were immediately apparent. Although they were not very familiar with each other or even knew each other, the efficiency had been doubled.

At this time, Li Ping was not in a hurry to organize the training of the troops and threw all the construction work to the security battalion. This was not all because most of the strong male laborers were in the army. Li Ping also had to consider how to train. one.

Years of military career in another life gave Li Ping a deep-rooted view of what the army should be like, which is almost completely different from that of this era.

And this is a cognition that cannot be reversed at all. After all, this is all his work, half of his life.

Li Ping naturally has his own ideas about military training.

It\'s just one person against 450 people. This kind of training can\'t be done at all, unless he doesn\'t have unified standards and requirements at all, or he doesn\'t want to achieve the training goal he wants to achieve.

And this is impossible.

Li Ping decided to borrow a mature method of his time and space, which is the backbone training before the recruit training, which is an effective method of unifying the training and command of large troops.

The barracks construction work in the past few days just allowed him to take out the staff above the senior level for simple training in turn.One person against dozens of people, this is almost the same as leading students to military training, and simple standards and requirements can still be passed on.

The construction work of the hasty barracks was completed quickly, and it was not intended to stay for a long time. It can be realized to solve the simple food and housing requirements of thousands of people in a few days, and it can be gradually improved in the future.

Finally, a sanitation clean-up is of course also essential.

The next step is naturally troop training and the production of non-military personnel.

For five or six days in a row, Li Ping stayed with the army every day, trained, ate and lived together, and he didn\'t care about other things at all, because he really didn\'t have the energy and mood.

The large-scale recruit training was already the most tiring a few days ago, not to mention training a large group of illiterate people without any military knowledge and experience.

And Li Ping\'s leaders, big and small, are also mostly illiterate young birds. The short-term training can only let them learn their shapes hastily, and they can\'t even swallow jujubes. Can the troops be trained according to Li Ping\'s ideas? Li Ping was completely at a loss.

Until now, he is still struggling with how to make the soldiers distinguish between left and right feet, and his officers are not much better. They are also in chaos. Li Ping\'s mouth was full of bitterness, and his head was full of worries.

You must know that in the past few days, except for the morning and evening physical training, the training of these more than 400 people is all queue training, but until now, the queue of the troops still has no shape.

A simple queuing action may be easy for people who have experienced the information explosion in later generations, but for this world, there are no movies and TV shows, no comic strips, most people can\'t even read, and most of them have never left home for more than It is very difficult for the people of Shilidi.

That\'s right, the main content of Li Ping\'s training camp is queue training, and what he is doing to the troops now is basically queue training.

The reason for using this set of training methods in queue training is not that Li Ping has become obsessed with magic, nor is it that Li Ping only knows these things, nor is it simply for the pursuit of neatness and beauty.

It\'s really because queue training is the most effective way to maintain a high degree of unity and discipline in the troops. This is a summary of the experience of the modern army for hundreds of years in his time and space.

At that time and space, almost all modern military powers had high-standard queue requirements, even the United States, which many people thought had very sparse queue requirements, was no exception.

why?
Because queue training is the most effective way for every soldier to develop the habit of obeying commands.

On the battlefield, whether you can subconsciously obey the command often determines life and death in an instant, and determines the outcome of the battle.When an order is issued, soldiers must habitually execute it, rather than questioning and hesitating.

Queue training is the most effective way to achieve this effect.

When the commanders who change back and forth stand in front of the queue and chatter, repeating the few passwords over and over again, no matter how many times those seemingly simple and meaningless actions are performed, and regardless of whether the soldiers in the queue are familiar with walking Those who command them before the queue, let alone whether the commander is the commander of their unit.As long as the commander takes over the command and gives an order, everyone in the queue has no right to object, no right to choose, and can only execute unconditionally mechanically.

When a person develops the habit of obeying the orders of the queue subtly, he often develops the habit of obeying all orders from his superiors. What the army needs is to resolutely execute orders.

As for uniformity, it is to force you to develop a sense of unity and high standards. It is not the core of queue training, but the key content of queue training, serving the core of resolutely obeying orders and ensuring completion of orders.

The efficiency of queue training in cultivating soldiers\' obedience awareness, as well as its ease of operation and low cost, finally made it stand out among countless training programs in modern armies, and became the first choice for most military powers to train soldiers in the early days.

Queue training is never a one-time thing, it will run through the entire career of a soldier.

In China, any regular formed unit generally maintains a certain amount of queue training time every week, and the battalion organizes queue parades every year or even every quarter, so as to continuously maintain and strengthen the soldiers\' sense of obedience and discipline consciousness.

Therefore, in Li Ping\'s time and space, the strength of a troop can be roughly judged by the formation awareness and formation level of a troop. This is by no means a lie.

This is also the reason why Li Ping chose to engage in queue training first, which seems to have nothing to do with combat skills.

What he wants first is the absolute obedience consciousness of his subordinates, and he must ensure that they are restrained by force first.

It\'s just that Li Ping underestimated the difficulties he faced, and even underestimated the time it would take for people who have never had a sense of discipline to establish a sense of discipline, because one of the signs of achieving the goal of queue training is uniformity.

And it\'s clearly still early!
