Chapter 52: On Paper 1
Measure the comprehensive strength of a family, especially in troubled times, the number of private soldiers being raised is the hard indicator!
In recent years, Ma Shuchang's business has grown bigger and bigger. Although the family recruits more and more people and raises more private soldiers, their strength has not grown slowly.
But because the family's stalls are getting bigger and bigger, especially the popularity of the Majiahe market on the south bank of the Xiangjiang River, the more money they are, the more risks they are getting bigger, and the stronger their sense of crisis is.
Therefore, Uncle Ma Chang was not addicted to money, but instead used a lot of money to strengthen the family's strength.
Hoarding food, sheltering refugees, and training private soldiers are several important links in the Ma family's strengthening their strength.
If Ma Su wants to become a famous general, he cannot avoid this training. Soon, the refugees who were sheltered by the Ma family came to specially prepared camps one after another, and he devoted himself to the training!
Because these refugees have complex age structure and not very good physical conditions, they used to be honest farmers, and many of them didn’t even have the courage to kill chickens. It can be said that as an army, their combat effectiveness is very low.
Those brave and fierce masters have long been unable to hold back. They either take the initiative to join the army or become bandits.
Therefore, although the family assigned more than 100 old servants to serve as chiefs and as the backbone of training.
Ten centurions with their own strengths are also equipped as instructors to teach them various martial arts, but it is difficult to train these farmers who have been working in the fields into an army, and the training effect will not be too fast.
Although the backbones equipped by the family work hard to train the military formation and martial arts of the refugees every day, these refugees are still a mess and it is difficult to integrate them together.
Although Ma Su's martial arts skills are good now, he has no experience in training.
Although Ma Su read a lot of military books, which was enough to be as good as the general's standard of "reading military books and being skilled in archery and horses", what he knew was the method of using troops. Even if there were methods of training in military books, it was just a few words, which emphasized the clear distinction between rewards and punishments!
It seems that it is not just martial arts, but also the secret of training in the military! Ma Su had no choice. Although he did not remember the method of training in the military, he still turned to the Dream Book first.
Although Ma Su did not find a training method in the record, he helped recall the content of military training after entering university in his dream, so he could only copy it in full.
Although military training in universities is not considered real military training, it also has the simplest training content such as standing military posture, queues, walking, etc., mainly training soldiers' discipline.
It is appropriate for these refugees. After a month of strict military training, the discipline has improved and the commands can be understood, the arrangement of the military formations will be natural.
Nearly a thousand refugees were arranged in neat teams, walking in neat steps and doing the same assassination, and they looked like an army.
Because of his personal demonstration and example, Ma Su set an example, and his high martial arts skills, he enjoyed a high prestige among private soldiers.
As for other battlefield martial arts, there are naturally special teachers to teach them, so Ma Su doesn’t have to do it in person!
But Ma Su was not idle either. He often organized private soldiers to hold various martial arts competitions. He would give certain rewards to those who had good training results and upgrade their level. Some were even promoted directly to sergeant commanders.
These award-winning refugees not only have considerable material rewards, but also can improve their lives for their families, but also have different identities after becoming sergeant commanders. They can receive some military pay and have the ability to support their families.
Even soldiers are divided into different levels, with different levels and different treatments enjoyed by their families.
The distinction between rewards and punishments has always been an indispensable means in training and fighting. After the enthusiasm of soldiers' training is improved, the training effect will become better and better.
A year later, Ma Su's private soldiers trained carefully looked decent, but Ma Su couldn't say how powerful they were.
Ma Su believed that the training was effective, but after all, it was just a talk on paper. Without the test of life and death in actual combat, it was hard to say that the training was successful.
After private soldiers training is on the right track, if you want to exert the combat effectiveness of soldiers, it depends on the ability of the general!
Ma Su was not complacent about his success in military training. He was still self-aware of his martial arts.
Although he is skilled in martial arts, he is not considered a powerful general because his body is very average.
Moreover, these private soldiers lack blood. When fighting generals and charging into battle, if the main general cannot lead the situation, the soldiers will definitely not move forward bravely when charging, and will easily collapse when they are impacted when defending.
Just when Ma Su was confused about the next step of training, his father Ma Zhou brought an ancient book, saying that it was a military book passed down from the Ma family, and there were methods for training troops, so that Ma Su could train private soldiers according to the methods in it.
Because he was quite satisfied with Ma Su's performance, Ma Zhou had a long talk with him, told the history of the Ma family, and let him know many little-known inside stories.
The first words of Matriarch Ma almost shocked Ma Su's chin!
Because the Ma family's hippo family was actually a descendant of Zhao She, a famous general of the Warring States Period, and the military book Ma Zhou handed him to him was the "Ma Fujun Military Book".
It is said that it is the "Ma Fujun Military Book", but it is actually what Zhao She taught and compiled by Zhao Kuo.
Of course, his own understanding of military tactics was also added to it, because Zhao Kuo's attainments in military theory, even Zhao She felt inferior!
I heard that the military book my father gave him was a military strategy compiled by Zhao Kuo. Ma Su was shocked in his heart, and he could only smile bitterly!
Because in the dream world, Ma Youchang is a science student, and he has been a subject since junior high school and is not interested in history. The historical events he knows are all heard and familiar things!
Only the Shujieting is different. It is the text in the textbook. He has recited it in his dream and will naturally not forget it.
After so long comparison, Ma Su can be sure that if the records of the dream world are real, then the protagonist of the Lost Jieting is himself!
As for Zhao Kuo, the protagonist of "talking about war on paper", Ma Youchang, the dream world, only learned about it when he learned the idiom "talking about war on paper".
Zhao Kuo and Ma Su, the two of them, were exactly the same on the battlefield. Now it seems that they are really in line with each other!
Originally, Ma Su was not very sure of his future "lost Jieting", but today he heard his father telling these past events, and he couldn't help but be a little alert!!
Because his current situation is very similar to Zhao Kuo's situation at that time! They are both good at military strategies and outstanding ingenuity, but their martial arts are mediocre.
Although his heart was full of changes, Ma Su still listened to his father's statement carefully. The Ma family hid their names and "talking about war on paper" was also in the inside story.
