Datang New Order

When attacking Pinbu's winter camp, the soldiers of the former battalion captured 69 Khitans, half of whom were old and weak, women and children, and the remaining 36 were young and strong.On the prairie, young and strong means soldiers, and all adult men, including underage men who can wield weapons, are soldiers.How to deal with these captives is quite a head-scratching thing.

For those old and weak women and children, as long as they are brought under Feng Dao's jurisdiction and work according to the rules, there is no doubt about it.The tribes on the grassland often conquered each other, and the defeated ones became slaves of the victors, herding cattle and sheep, and even having children for the victors. Labor consciousness and obedience.

As for the treatment of those Khitan soldiers, they generally have the same opinion.Feng Dao's point of view represents the mainstream point of view of the Central Plains literati, that is, practicing the kingly way and benevolent government to educate these soldiers.Zhang Xingzhong and Zhou Paidao's opinion is close to that of warriors, kill the rebellious ones among them, and force the rest to join the army.These two opinions are actually tantamount to putting these Khitan people into the army to serve, because the so-called "rebellious people" have already been killed by the soldiers of the front battalion in the battle, and almost all those who can survive and become prisoners are willing to let go. The swordsman, that is, the one who "knows the current affairs" is often said.

Li Chengzhong also coveted these Khitan soldiers, but he also considered a problem, that is, whether the Khitan people and the Han people could blend together.The first thing to be resolved was the grievances of the rescued more than 300 Han people towards the Khitan people. Li Chengzhong personally visited these people, had a cordial conversation with them, asked them about their appeals, and listened to their wishes.To his surprise, these people's gratitude to Li Chengzhong and the soldiers of the former battalion directly covered up their hatred for the Khitans. They were very grateful to be freed from the Khitans' camp, and had no extravagant hope of how to take revenge on the Khitans people.When Li Chengzhong vaguely revealed his intention to recruit the Khitan people for his own use, the common people had nothing to say at all. In their original words, they said: "The general is a savior, what should the general do? How dare you speak lightly. You are lucky to be able to escape, how dare you expect anything else..."

Faced with the people's blind obedience to the superiors in this era, or the numbness to their own destiny, Li Chengzhong was surprised and didn't know whether he should feel lucky or sad.

Well, Li Chengzhong is not the kind of idiot who vowed to save the people of the world. His current idea is to quickly increase his strength and defeat the blockade of the Khitan Pin Department on Bailang Mountain. Bringing Yingzhou under the jurisdiction of Lu Longjun—to put it bluntly, it means bringing Yingzhou under his rule so that he can truly have a place to live and work.Therefore, he quickly put aside these negative emotions and began to deal with the Khitan surrender.

The method is very simple. In order to make the Khitan people really work for him, he intends to do what he did to the instructors in the past - reeducation through labor, or "reform through labor".This method has been learned from others and proved to be feasible, so Li Chengzhong quickly put the Khitan descendants into labor.As I said before, those who are willing to put down their weapons and surrender are basically not rebellious people. They seem to be very obedient to the requirements of exchanging labor for work points and work points for food. Therefore, the Khitan soldiers took over with their hands accustomed to holding knives and guns. tools of labor.

During the transformation process of instructor Xie Li, Bailangshan Military Village has explored some experience and rules. Therefore, with Li Chengzhong as the leader, Feng Dao as the deputy, and members including Jiang Miao, Fatty Wang Er, and three village elders, the After many meetings and consultations, the White Wolf Mountain Prisoner of War Reform Committee applied certain successful experiences that proved to be extremely effective to reform these Khitan prisoners of war, and gradually achieved good results.In addition to labor for work points, these experiences include:…,

Let the Khitan prisoners of war properly participate in the collective labor that requires the coordination of multiple people-to cultivate their sense of integration;

Let the Khitan prisoners of war realize the importance of knowing Chinese and Chinese characters through some small tricks-to lure and persuade them to voluntarily participate in cultural courses;

Help Khitan prisoners of war meet some Han Chinese people - so that they can realize the great harm caused by past looting to others;

Let the instructors explain their own experiences - so that they can see the hope of future life;

……

Li Chengzhong was a fan in his previous life, and the sports events he participated in the most in the army were basketball and football.Since he robbed the winter camp of the Khitan Pin Department, his family has been full of mutton and beef for a while, and there is nowhere to vent all his energy. Apart from training soldiers, he can't help but feel a little rich, so he takes advantage of his spare time. Started a ball game.

Considering the size of the school field in Bailangshan Military Village, Li Chengzhong initially wanted to play basketball, but the facts proved that the current technical conditions could not reach this level.He found a few people who were good women, and instructed them to inflate fish intestines, sheep intestines, etc., and then tighten them, and stuffed these air-filled intestines into hollow balls sewn with cowhide in advance. Stuff it with wool, and finally sew the outer skin, and a basketball is made.But the basketball's bouncing effect was not good enough to meet Li Chengzhong's requirements, so Li Chengzhong took the next best thing and shrunk the ball slightly to make it the size of a football, which could barely meet the needs of playing football.

Playing by yourself is definitely not interesting, so Li Chengzhong pulled in the guards led by Zhou Xiaolang.

"Xuanjie also likes Cuju?" Seeing Li Chengzhong showing off his footwork with the ball in hand, Zhou Xiaolang couldn't help seeing Lie Xinxie, took the ball kicked by Li Chengzhong, turned over with a kite, and firmly stopped the ball on his neck.

Zhou Xiaolang's hand was much prettier than Li Chengzhong's. Li Chengzhong was a little embarrassed, and praised Zhou Xiaolang generously.However, Zhou Xiaolang said that his Cuju skills were not good, and that Zhou Machete's skills were much better than his. While talking, he gestured to divide his guards into two groups, and wanted to play with his family Xuanjie.

Since many people know the basic skills of Cuju, it will be much easier, as long as the rules are clearly explained, they can start kicking directly.Li Cheng knew in the history class of elementary school that there was a huge difference between the Cuju of this era and the football of later generations, so he asked old craftsman Zhang to catch up with the goal, and took the opportunity to explain in detail the playing methods and rules of later generations of football.The way of playing football in later generations is much simpler than cuju. The guards understood it as soon as they heard it. After the goal was completed, Li Chengzhong led the first team and Zhou Xiaolang led the first team, and they began to run around the school field.

The scene was very chaotic at one time. Basically, wherever the ball rolled, ten people ran there. At the worst time, the crowd even huddled together and the ball could not be kicked out.Li Chengzhong called a timeout, turned around and severely criticized the five players of the team. He assigned each player's defensive area on the spot, separated the defenders, midfielders, and forwards, and threatened them with military law, demanding that each of them perform their duties. Do not run around.

When the game restarted, Zhou Xiaolang was dumbfounded. His players kept running behind the ball, often failing to touch the ball. In less than half an hour, Li Chengzhong's team poured fourteen goals in a row.When Zhou Xiaolang's players were so exhausted that they fell to the ground, Li Chengzhong's players were still jumping around, keeping their feet on the ground, and firmly controlled the coming and going of the ball.

As the leader of the entire Bailangshan military camp, the "new style Cuju" organized by Li Chengzhong naturally attracted the attention of the entire military camp.The impact and explosive power of modern football made all the former battalion soldiers excited, so "new style Cuju" became popular in Bailang Mountain.The footballs were put on the shelf of the warehouse one by one, and the price reached five work points, but the supply still exceeded the demand.

The venue is limited, but the enthusiasm for "new-style Cuju" is unlimited. The soldiers of the former battalion spontaneously formed a team as a team and met to play football in the school field, causing the field to be messy.Several teams shared a field, and it happened frequently that several goalkeepers guarded the same goal, so each team began to spontaneously connect and coordinate in private, and communicated about the time to play.When the communication fails, they meet to compete for the right to use the stadium.Some gang leaders broke out in quarrels and disputes when they met for competitions. In order to vent their anger, they proposed additional conditions for Guan Pu, and the prize for Guan Pu was work points.There are also some gang leaders with explosive tempers who play football in an extremely brutal and ramming way when the score is unfavorable, which will cause conflicts between the two groups.When this kind of conflict intensifies, a football game will often turn into a post-life rugby game, and the whole stadium is full of people and a mess of smoke. …,

So Li Chengzhong had to formulate the rules of the football game in detail. The rules were basically copied from later generations, but the requirements for collision and physical contact were relatively loose.The promulgation of this set of rules was carried out by Li Chengzhong personally gathering the soldiers of the whole battalion. He announced them one by one on the reviewing platform, and the soldiers listened to them one by one on the school grounds. hour.The soldiers' understanding and mastery of the "Football Game Rules" gradually surpassed the "Soldiers' Passing Regulations of the Front Battalion", which was beyond Li Chengzhong's expectation.

In order to standardize the order of the Bailangshan football game, Li Chengzhong worked hard to formulate a league system.In view of the current situation that almost everyone in the former battalion participated, Li Chengzhong set the league into three levels, namely, Class A, Class B, and Class C.There are currently forty gangs in the front battalion, which is the result of absorbing the young and strong among the newly rescued people.Excluding the pro-guards, he randomly drew lots for the remaining 39 guys, held three knockout rounds, and preliminarily determined the teams of three levels.The competition system will be held for one year, with one round held every five days. The top three teams in each level will be promoted, and the bottom three teams will be relegated.Li Chengzhong also stipulated the year-end rewards for each team in each league. For example, the first team in the first league will reward the whole team with [-] yuan at the end of the year!

The "Football Game Rules" also stipulates that each game is divided into two halves, a total of half an hour, with five players on the field and five substitutes off the field.This kind of five-a-side football is adapted to the Bailangshan military system, which is equivalent to the number of people in each group.At the same time, the competition venue can be increased, because he divided the school field into four smaller open spaces, which can accommodate four competitions at the same time.

Li Chengzhong also gave up the fun of playing games in person. He trained the guards as referees to enforce the law, and he himself served as the chief referee to maintain the order of the game.

In addition to the above-mentioned measures, Li Chengzhong opened a tactical training class, and the heads of all gangs—the captains of each team can voluntarily listen to the lectures.In the training class, he explained various tactics of football games, such as long pass, ground penetration, etc. He explained the responsibilities and tasks of each player on the field, such as goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward, etc., and explained the cooperation between players And running positions, such as hitting the wall, passing back, passing through, pulling, etc... The tactical training class was full. Li Chengzhong took ten consecutive nights to explain. The questions and interactions were also very enthusiastic.

After Li Chengzhong's tactical training class was over, the league was in full swing, and on the night of the match day, the soldiers of the front battalion also automatically postponed the rest time, and held a meeting under the call of the team leader to discuss the gains and losses of the day's game and study the next game. The tactical arrangement of the game.Numerous torches were also lit in the school grounds at night, and it was not uncommon for teams to train on the four courts, even to the point of queuing up.

Li Chengzhong was very satisfied with the storm caused by the football game in the White Wolf Mountain Army Village.His original intention was just leisure and entertainment, plus a little exercise.However, the subsequent development made him suddenly realize a problem. It seems that this sport can be used to enhance the teamwork and cooperation ability of each group of soldiers, and to exercise the commanding ability of the group leader-captain, corps leader-deputy captain.In addition, the quality of a team's performance seems to have a huge impetus for the development of the players' collective sense of honor. These factors are important reasons why Li Chengzhong is determined to vigorously promote the football league.

For a long time, soldiers' battle formation discipline has always been the key content of his training. If each group can be trained in the form of football leagues into teams that can be flexible on the battlefield, if the team leaders and corporal leaders of each group can compete in football matches If he develops a sense of command on the battlefield, then... Li Chengzhong has more expectations for the future of the former battalion.
