Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Hey!"

"Work harder!"

"Stop being so fucking lazy!"

In the wilderness near the sea, the sea breeze roared and shouts were heard. From a bird's-eye view, you could see countless people scattered and busy everywhere.

There are rarely so many people gathering in this desolate land.

In the chaotic crowd, teams holding red tasseled guns and wearing armor stood upright like sculptures. The men had firm eyes and dark skin, standing everywhere in awe. The busy crowd all followed a tacit understanding. Rules, don’t get closer than 20 steps in line!

"Zongrong, is this really okay?"

On a high ground, Wang Zhiren, who was wearing armor and carrying a sword, looked around at the busy scene in front of him and frowned at Lu Xiangsheng, "Your Majesty's decree is to order the Tianxiong Army to move north to Qinhuangdao after recruiting, and be responsible for the construction of the sea route. But the Tianxiong Army’s training cannot be left behind!”

"The 20,000 new soldiers recruited by the Tianxiong Army were assigned to various parts of Qinhuangdao by the general army. They were responsible for building ports, building roads, building military camps, and preparing workshops... but they did not start training. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

"Obviously, the above-mentioned matters are responsible for sheltering the refugees under the rule of Yongping Mansion, but the commander-in-chief asked me, the son of the Tianxiong Army, to do it. Even if the Qinhuangdao Fortress is built, how can the Tianxiong Army go to the battlefield!!"

When Wang Zhiren talked about this, he felt even more restless in his heart.

A sufficient number of new soldiers were recruited from Guangping, Daming, Shunde and other prefectures and counties, and the Tianxiong Army, named after the emperor, was organized and trained. Lu Xiangsheng personally led the Tianxiong Army northward and rushed to Qinhuangdao as quickly as possible to station.

This matter had a considerable impact on the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Beizhili. However, there were so many things happening in the court that when the matter reached the capital, it did not cause any ripples at all.

After the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng arrived in the Qinhuangdao area, what Lu Xiangsheng decided to do next made Wang Zhiren and other generals suspicious.

None of the departments under the Tianxiong Army started training. Instead, Lu Xiangsheng dispersed them to various places to take charge of building ports, roads, military camps, workshops, etc.

If the army doesn't practice, is it still an army?

How strict are military regulations and disciplines?

How is the military's combat power formed?

Especially for an army that is newly recruited and trained, if there is no training to gain experience, let alone go to the battlefield, even if it is to defend one place, it may be scattered.

"Without practice, is it really putting the cart before the horse?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked straight ahead, with a faint smile on his lips, "Jiuru, those Yongzhuang who are scattered everywhere and are on guard duty, what do you think has changed from the first time?"

Ok?

After hearing what Lu Xiangsheng said, Wang Zhiren looked where Lu Xiangsheng was and saw among the noisy crowds, those brave men holding red tassel guns and wearing armors stood upright one by one. Even after standing for a long time, his legs were already sore, but They still persisted, and no one even moved in the queue.

"I can stand still."

Wang Zhiren said: "General, I remember the first time they stood there. Not to mention standing there for a long time. Within an hour, some of them were either moving around or urinating. They didn't even have the eyes to see."

"Yes."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and nodded: "But now, these brave men in charge of guarding have been allowed to stand for a long time, but during this period, nothing like the past has happened."

"Isn't this training?"

"You must know that the Yongzhuang who can be selected as the guard are definitely the strongest in the Tianxiong Army. They are the backbone of the Tianxiong Army selected by this officer."

"If an army wants to form a combat force, it must follow orders and prohibitions. Only in this way will it not be a mess when it comes to the battlefield. Only by doing this well, no matter what kind of danger it faces, it can launch a corresponding response. Formation, go and challenge the invading enemy!"

Is this a drill?

Wang Zhiren was shocked and looked at Lu Xiangsheng in disbelief.

Obviously such a situation was something he had not thought of before.

"Jiuru, think about it carefully."

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "They failed to persevere in the beginning. I punished them by not having dinner and made them stand in the camp. How did they behave?"

"anger!"

Wang Zhiren recalled carefully and said with a serious expression: "With so many people gathered around to point out and discuss, if these young men were not suppressed by the leaders, I am afraid that they would have caused trouble one by one."

"Yes."

Lu Xiangsheng followed the words and said: "But what about now? Are they each a bit like soldiers? They will no longer be affected by external factors and stick to their respective positions."

Wang Zhiren nodded.

"Let's talk about those brave men scattered everywhere." Lu Xiangsheng pointed forward, "Although they are doing the most tiring job, do they have any resentment?"

"No."

Wang Zhiren answered this point very simply.

When it comes to this aspect, Wang Zhiren dares to say that no one will complain. After all, although the Tianxiong Army's errands are tiring, they are responsible for three meals a day. They can eat enough and have enough salt. They can even rest when they are tired. This is terrible. It can't be done everywhere.

"Then Jiuru, think about it again."

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "When our Tianxiong Army first entered Qinhuangdao, we dispersed all the departments to work everywhere. What was that scene like?"

"chaos."

Wang Zhiren recalled and frowned: "Not only was the efficiency very low, but the key was that the order was extremely chaotic. People defecated and defecated everywhere, making everything stink."

"now what?"

Lu Xiangsheng asked rhetorically.

Ok?

Wang Zhiren was stunned. Suddenly, Wang Zhiren thought a lot.

"To build Qinhuangdao's main thoroughfare, I can indeed accommodate a group of refugees and let them be responsible for the construction in various places." Seeing that Wang Zhiren remained silent, Lu Xiangsheng narrowed his eyes and said.

"But if this happens, not only will the food and salary expenses increase a lot, but the key is to set up a team to be responsible for maintaining order everywhere."

"But Jiuru must remember one thing, you don't have that much time to wait for me. If that's the case, then simply turn Qinhuangdao into a battlefield, regard the errands to be done as the enemy, and let the various departments under the Tianxiong Army conquer it every day. The errands to be done must be done without compromise.”

"If a department can do well in advance, I will reward it. If a department fails to do it according to the rules, then I will punish it. No one can blame this, right?"

Wang Zhiren nodded subconsciously.

"Besides, the Tianxiong Army has various generals and colleges under its jurisdiction, and they are all selected by the officers and soldiers of each department."

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "In the process of work, whoever can manage the soldiers under his jurisdiction well and who cannot manage the soldiers under his jurisdiction well cannot be mixed with any falsehood. The capable ones will be promoted, the mediocre ones will be given up, and the mediocre ones will be demoted. This is Tianxiong. The purpose of the military!!”

"And after these days of running-in and adjustment, has the order of the various departments under the Tianxiong Army become stable? Are there no conflicts between the departments?"

Wang Zhiren seemed to understand.

"If orders and prohibitions are the foundation of the army, then order is the soul of the army!"

Lu Xiangsheng said in a sonorous tone: "Only by completing the above two things, can the Tianxiong Army be formed. If one of the two is missing, the Tianxiong Army will be a straggler, and it is not worthy of the emperor's trust and reliance at all!"

"The general understands."

Wang Zhiren's eyes widened and he said with some excitement: "Zongrong used this high-pressure method to keep the Tianxiong Army's departments busy in Qinhuangdao, and the rules that were clearly stated before are actually the military rules that the Tianxiong Army wants to follow. Establish military discipline.”

"good."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said: "The only thing the Tianxiong Army has not done at the moment is to clarify the various arms under its jurisdiction and conduct corresponding drills accordingly."

"However, these matters cannot be rushed. After Qinhuangdao begins to take shape and the Tianxiong Army is truly unified through this method, the subsequent organization and training can be carried out step by step."

Wonderful!

Wang Zhiren now fully understood that although Lu Xiangsheng's method seemed so strange, if you really think about it carefully, it was really training in disguise.

Even changing your thinking can not only improve the construction efficiency of Qinhuangdao, but also reduce a lot of food and salary expenses. The key is that the Tianxiong Army has various departments under its jurisdiction, and it can eat meat every once in a while. Under such overall planning, Tianxiong Army The cohesion and centripetal force of the heroic army can be steadily enhanced.

A full stomach is a luxury these days, let alone a meal of meat every now and then.

Even though there are various restrictions during this period, for these people who have no place to live, they are willing to abide by the rules for this!

"But such a thing can only be done in the Tianxiong Army."

While Wang Zhiren was sighing with emotion, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Because the various divisions under the Tianxiong Army are all organized and trained by blood clans, and the men know each other well, so even if something goes wrong during this period, there will be someone there I will stand up and share the worries.”

"One such army is enough for the Ming Dynasty. If there are more, problems will easily arise. His Majesty trusts us, so he asked us to command the Tianxiong Army, so we must make some achievements!"

indeed.

Wang Zhiren's expression became serious after hearing this. If there are really too many troops like the Tianxiong Army, the hidden danger of self-respect of the troops is unavoidable. After all, if something really happens, as long as you dare to have If one person raises his arms and shouts, groups of people will come out! !
