Late Tang

(Thank you Jagged Tianjiao for your support, please recommend tickets!)

The time has entered mid-November, and the Dengzhou Unity Camp has been repaired. More than [-] united soldiers have all entered the camp, making final preparations and busy for the official opening of the camp.

Li Jing's Wendeng camp left the first team, because his team is the protégé of the governor, and now it is rumored that even the former Jiedu envoy and the current Sima also accepted him as a protégé. Camp Reds.In particular, some people were still worried that if they got too close to Li Jing, it would cause Feng Changshi's local departments to suppress them, but later they saw Li Jing and Feng Changshi's nephew call each other brothers, and Feng Liang even publicly presented Li Jing with a horse A good horse.Therefore, in the Unity Camp, whether it is Wendeng, the generals of the Fourth Battalion of Penglai, or officials such as Yu Hou or the coach envoy, they are very enthusiastic about Li Jing.Not only are all kinds of equipment and military supplies needed the best and fastest supply, but even the heavy and tiring work of building fortifications and defenses is not arranged for the first team.

The first team was spared these drudgery, and only spent half a day building their own tents, toilets, etc., and they were completely fine.Seeing that there were still two days before the camp would officially open, Li Jing didn't want to waste two days in vain, watching dozens of soldiers under him doing nothing.

After thinking for a long time, Li Jing still decided to conduct an assessment training for these soldiers.Originally, these things were carried out uniformly after the opening of the camp, but now that there is time, Li Jing simply planned to do it first.

The purpose of the assessment training is very simple, it is to get a thorough understanding of the soldiers under the opponent, to know the abilities of the subordinates, and then to form groups according to their abilities, and to appoint and dismiss low-level officers.

The book of war says that in general, the five talents will be used as the body, and the five prudences will be used.The so-called five talents, one is wisdom, the other is faith, the third is benevolence, the fourth is courage, and the fifth is strictness.Without intelligence one cannot predict the enemy's response; without faith one cannot train others;

The so-called five prudents, one is principle, the other is preparation, the third is fruit, the fourth is commandment, and the fifth is covenant.A man of reason manages the masses as well as the few: there are divisions in the banners, and there are rewards in the golden drums. Therefore, one person who learns warfare can teach ten people.The prepared person goes out as if he sees the enemy: if he walks, he will fight, and if he stays, he will strictly defend himself.Those who see the fruit do not cherish life when they see the enemy. It is said: Killing the enemy is the fruit, and the fruit is perseverance.Although the admonition is restrained, it is like the beginning of the battle: Song Yi said that Xiang Yu won and defeated the arrogant and lazy.Those who make promises save on law and don't bother: people are lazy when politics is troubled, and fish are sick when water is turbid.There are many thieves and thieves when laws and regulations are promoted.

Now that he has made up his mind to enter the army for development, Li Jing tried his best to start learning how to become a qualified general.He has also read a lot of military books before, and he knows that he must have five talents and five prudences.Wisdom, trustworthiness, benevolence, courage and strictness, rationality and fruitfulness commandment, short cross, but already the ten elements necessary for a general, Li Jing regards it as a classic in his heart, this is the first time to lead soldiers, although he only leads fifty soldiers , and these 50 people are still a group of teenagers whose young are no more than fifteen or sixteen, and the elders are no more than twenty, but he is still very serious.

The noise of digging piles was everywhere in the camp, and Li Jing gathered 50 people from his team in a relatively quiet open space.

After marching all the way from Wendeng to Penglai, these teenagers with immature faces showing curiosity everywhere reluctantly lined up in five columns under Li Jing's order.Although it was still very bad in Li Jing's eyes, at most it was the level of the students' military training queue, but it was still a lot better than when they were in Wendeng.

After nearly ten days, Li Jing is almost familiar with the 50 members of the team, and he can even call out the name of each soldier. This alone has added a lot of prestige to Li Jing in front of the young people .

Wendeng Camp Left One is all fellow villagers from Qingning Township, Wendeng County. For Li Jing, these people are in the same team and have obviously helped him a lot. At least they have an obvious sense of intimacy when they are together.

Looking across the queue, Li Jing's whole person was extremely solemn, and he didn't have the easy smile he had with everyone before.

The dozens of people below also felt the seriousness of the boss in this chill, and all of them put away their smiles and whispers, and began to stand there nervously.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, when Li Jing saw that the people below were nervous and didn't know what to do, he shouted loudly: "Are there any married people at home? Come out and stand to the left!"

The soldiers couldn't understand the order, so after a little hesitation, thirteen people came out and stood to the left.

"Are there any people at home who are engaged but not yet married? Some stand out to the right."

This time, more than 20 people stood to the right.

"All in line, those who have more than [-] mu of land in their homes stand out to the left!"

This time, only a dozen people from Liao Liao stood to the left.

Li Jing nodded, "Return to the list."

The people below still don't know what Li Jing's series of orders mean, but Li Jing has almost made the situation of his subordinates' homes almost.Generally speaking, the family situation of these teenagers is worse than that of Li Jing's family before he was imprisoned.At this time, a family usually has seven or eight members, at least five or six.At this time, the output of one mu of land is generally seven or eight buckets, and the harvest is no more than two stones. Twenty mu of land can hardly even have enough food and clothing.And in his team, less than half even reached this standard.

There are 50 people in the team, basically all of them have reached the age of marriage, but only thirteen of them are married, and only half of them are engaged.The reason for all this, of course, is the lack of money.

In order to lead this team of soldiers well, make them look brand new, and transform them from a countryman to an elite, Li Jing must let this group of people have a goal and a motivation to struggle.Now it seems that this goal is easy to find, and that is money.

Holding the seven-foot sword in hand, Li Jing paced slowly in front of the queue, then stopped suddenly, glanced at everyone one by one, and shouted loudly: "Do you want to marry a beautiful and gracious wife? Do you want to buy a hundred acres of land? Build a seaweed triple yard, do you want to stock up on food in the granary at home, and no longer have to worry about two meals a day?"

Dozens of teenagers were a little surprised. They didn't know why Li Jing asked such a non-problem question, but they finally replied: "I think!"

"Louder, I can't hear you!"

"miss you!"

"Speak louder, haven't you guys eaten yet?"

"Think!!!" At this moment, dozens of people let go of their throats and roared.

Li Jing looked at the howls of the crowd, and saw the ignited hope finally appear in their eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.

People are afraid of not fighting. Once people have ideas and motivation, then the rest will be easy to handle.

There are nine tests and nine skills in the military book. The so-called nine tests are used to see their loyalty from afar, their respect from close by, their ability from many times, and their wisdom when they are asked suddenly. Observe his faith by entrusting him with wealth, observe his benevolence by entrusting him with goods, observe his integrity by telling him of danger, observe his state by drinking wine, and observe his color by treating him with miscellaneous things.To be more specific, there are nine ways to test a person when assessing and observing them.

To be more specific, if two people fight, they will know straightness; if two discuss, they will know virtue; if two lift weights, they will know strength; if two people fight, they will know courage; If two people govern an official, they will know corruption and integrity.

And the so-called nine skills, one is to use morality in the way, and courtesy in the same way, who knows his hunger and cold, and sees his toil is called a benevolent general;

The second is that there is nothing to be avoided, not to be spoiled for profit, there is honor in death but no humiliation in life, which is called a righteous general;

The third is noble but not arrogant, victorious but not lazy, virtuous but capable of inferiority, tough but able to endure are called rites;

The fourth is that the strange changes are not constant, the movements are unreasonable, turning disasters into blessings, and those who emerge victorious due to dangers are called wise generals;

Fifthly, those who enter are rewarded heavily, those who retreat are severely punished, rewards do not exceed the time limit, and punishments do not choose expensive ones are called trustworthy generals;

Sixth, he is light in arms and horses, his strength is more than ten men, he is good at using short soldiers, and he is good at shooting, he is called a general;

The seventh is the adventure of facing the heights, galloping and shooting like flying, advancing first, and retreating is the so-called cavalry general;

The eighth is to dominate the three armies with courage, to lighten the captives, to be timid in small battles, and to be brave in a big enemy is called a fierce general;

The ninth is to see the virtuous and think of the same, to see goodness if it is not enough, follow advice like a stream, be lenient but capable, simple and less arrogant, which is called a general.However, tricks can be long or short, and the strength of a bureau can be big or small, and the instrument makes it.For example, the power of Jun stone cannot be called Zizhu;

These are very good ways to assess and observe a person, but for Li Jing, these methods are really good.But what he urgently needs now is not to assess their abilities, but how to improve the morale of these people, ignite their hope, and unlock their motivation.Let this troop enter the state immediately, so that the assessment and training can really start, and then the test and screening, from which those who are capable are selected to be trusted and cultivated.

"Very well, everyone wants to have land and a house, and then the grain is full, and a good wife is in the hall. However, none of these will fall from the sky. We have to fight for all of this. Now, God will give Given such an opportunity for us, the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor summoned a group of us who did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, had no farmland at home, and no wives in the house. I know that when you were recruited, I must have felt discouraged, even resentful. I feel that there are still old and young in the family, and this year's harvest was cut off due to natural disasters. I don't even know where the food for the winter is. You, as a strong laborer, will be conscripted here. "

"To tell you the truth, I once had such a thought, but it was only for a moment. In the next moment, I changed the thought. You should not see this as a chore, but as a Doing is an opportunity, a big opportunity to change you, to change your family. Brethren, the opportunities are right in front of us, are you going to let them slip by?"

Li Jing said it in one breath, and his heart couldn't help becoming angry.He didn't just use these words to boost morale, but actually said them to himself.

"Look at me, look at Wang Xiaoshitou beside you, look at Li Qiusheng, look at Li Xigou, Wang Dong and the others. Ten days ago, we were the same as you, with no difference. But when we stepped out of Qingning After Xiangwang Lizhuang, our circumstances have undergone earth-shaking changes. We killed ten bandits in Xihuozhai on the way, and received hundreds of thousands of dollars in rewards. There is no need to worry about the food at home.”

Dozens of soldiers are of course well aware of the stories of their team leaders killing bandits, and when they hear Li Jing's story at this time, their eyes light up, and they only regret that they didn't have such a good opportunity.

"Brothers, you see, it is not difficult to change. What is missing is an opportunity. When Xiaoshi and I encountered this opportunity, we seized it. I believe that there are many, many opportunities like this. The key is you Do you want to catch it?"

"Think!" This time without Li Jing asking, everyone roared.

"Very good. Opportunities are hard to come by. None of us know when he will come to you. For us, we must always be prepared so that when the opportunity comes, you will not miss it again. But how to prepare ?There is only one thing, training. Only after you have trained your skills, you will not miss the opportunity or be killed by the opportunity. Now, prepare for the assessment training, the first opportunity will be in front of you. As long as you have outstanding skills, I will I will appoint and remove you as the corporal leader of the team, or even the team leader, everything depends on whether you have this ability. Are you ready?"

"Ready!" The excited faces were full of anticipation.
