(Thanks for the strong rewards that I have to say, thank you!)

Song Wen's words actually scared the recruits on the spot. Not only did Li Jing feel very embarrassed, but even the head of the left-level general Wang Chong and Zhang Hong also turned black. As the newly appointed ten generals of Wendeng Camp, Song Xi, had a gloomy face.

It's so embarrassing. If such a coward is really going to the battlefield, then you shouldn't turn around and run away immediately?

Song Wen had no expression, as if he had already expected that this group of incompetent recruits would perform like this. He turned to attract Li Jing and smiled and said, "You have seen your soldiers yourself. Do you have any training plan to change them?" He asked this mainly because he had heard of Li Jing on the way he came and learned about Li Jing's achievements in killing the four bandits in a row.

He also received a secret letter from the commander of Jie Song Wei. In the letter, Song Wei told him that Cui Yunqing, King Zhao Li Si and Sima Yuquan, is now a faction in the Dengzhou officialdom, and Feng Yanqing and other local forces formed a party to fight each other. It also explained that Cui Yunqing and Yuquan accepted Li Jing as disciples, and Feng Yanqing was involved in asking his nephew to impersonate Li Jing's military merits. After Song Wei asked Song Wen to come to Penglai, he took Li Jing as a breakthrough point and first carefully observed Li Jing, hoping that he could take Li Jing as an opportunity to enter Dengzhou, and use Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing as their own, and consolidate the position of the governor of Song Wei.

In addition, Song Wen was also carrying the commendation and promotion order from the General Administration of the Jiedushi to Li Jing and others. However, Song Wen did not intend to take it out immediately. He wanted to take it out carefully first.

Li Jing looked at Song Wen's gaze as he looked at him and pondered for a moment. He realized from the other party's gaze that this was not a random question. This should be a very serious question for Song Wen, which was a test for him.

Song Wen is the Du Yuhou, and Li Jing doesn't want to leave any bad impressions in front of him. His subordinates were scared by a few words just now, but Li Jing doesn't want him to be relegated to the useless scope by Song Wen.

"When Du Yuhou said, I thought that the newly convened united soldiers were actually pretty good overall, and they were between fifteen and twenty-two and three years old. It can be said that these united soldiers were actually better than the soldiers recruited by the court in the past. As long as they were trained properly, I thought they were an elite force. However, because these united soldiers were young, there were still many shortcomings. First of all, they had no experience at all, and everything had to be started over. Fortunately, these were all blank paper, suitable for buying Mo Huihao at will, and training them into the powerful team we expected."

"The white paper is used very appropriately. These new recruits who have no experience are the best and most useless soldiers. Useless is that they have no experience. Such soldiers are the most difficult to train, and they will die first once they are pulled onto the battlefield. It can be said that such soldiers are the best, because as long as the trainees are capable, they can train a strong team with twice the result. I listen to you, it seems that you have a gap in your heart? Do you have a mature plan? Let's listen." Song Wen was a little surprised by Li Jing's words and was somewhat expectant.

Li Jing faced a battlefield general like Song Wen, but he didn't dare to slap his chest and hit him, as it would only make the other party laugh. He said cautiously: "Elite soldiers cannot be achieved in one day. If he can give Huizen for three years, Huizen will have the confidence to train an invincible warrior."

"Three years are too long, how about March?" Song Wen said.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment. March? He did have a preliminary training plan in his mind, but what is the use of March? He said that three years are just a short time. Three months is enough to train a queue or something.

But how should he answer? If he said no, does that seem incompetent? Or is it possible, that is a promise that exceeds his ability. If things fail at that time, wouldn't it be worse?

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jing decided to speak out.

"When returning to Du Yuhou, March is indeed too short. These are all inexperienced recruits. They can't learn anything in March. If they are veterans, the reorganization of March may double their combat power, but if such a united recruit, please forgive me for being incompetent."

I thought this answer would be exchanged for a few reprimands, but Song Wei turned his head seriously and looked at him a few times, and smiled and said, "Yes, if you really answer that March can be successful, then you can pack up and go to the kitchen to cook now. The most taboo thing to lead a soldier is to not see the situation clearly and overestimate yourself. Tell me now, what is your plan, don't care about the time limit."

"The plan for humble officials is to conduct a basic assessment first, and then promote the outstanding ones to the ranks and commanders. First, appoint and form officers from top to bottom, and then form ranks according to each person's length."

Song Wen nodded and chuckled: "The idea is good, but the snake cannot do without a head. A good officer is half of the combat effectiveness of an army. Only the upper and lower levels are smooth and orders are prohibited. I will give you a suggestion. After selecting and appointing officers, the most important point is military discipline. There are no large numbers of soldiers and no courage and timidity. If you govern, you will win; if you govern, you will win; if you are in chaos, you will lose; if you do not know the generals, you will not know the soldiers, you will not advance when you hear the drum, and you will not stop when you hear the gold. Even if you have a million people, you will be able to fight against the enemy, like a tiger's footsteps, how can you seek victory? The so-called governance, if you live, you will be practiced, and if you move, you will be firm and tidy; if you advance, you will not be invaded, and if you retreat, you will not be chased; if you are in harmony, you will be in harmony, and if you can be connected, you will not be separated, and if you can be used, you will not be tired; even if you are in a formation, you will be dispersed and will be in a process, and you will be the essence of governance."

"The ancient method said: The three officials are not correct, and the five teachings are not chaotic, which is called capable army. The three officials are drums, gold, flags; the five teachings are eyes, ears, hands, feet, and hearts. Teach the eyes and the flags of form and color, teach the ears to know the number of orders, teach the ears to know the degree of advance and retreat, teach the hands to know the length and shortness of the soldiers, teach the heart to know the use of rewards and punishments. The fifth is to use the habit, which is to govern soldiers with victory. Therefore, use the soldiers to use the troops to make the best use of tools, and the generals and soldiers want their teachings. Therefore, do not read them first, which is called teaching without gradual progress; do not talk about martial arts later, which is called training without merit. This is to use the same thing to achieve the tools and create a tool for breaking and quietness. If you take advantage of the gap between the three rural areas and farming schools, learn the appearance of the six teachers; follow the majesty, be wise, reward and punishment, and give orders; if you command the command, you must follow them, and the commander must go, then the generals should seek one or two of them and do their work. Do you understand what I said?"

Li Jing thought carefully about what Song Wen said and replied: "What Du Yuhou means is that soldiers should first learn to enforce orders and know how to advance and retreat. Then they should learn the ability to kill enemies in battle formations?"

"It's clear and smart. You might as well say it to you. These words were what Song Jieshuai said to me at the time. It took me a long time to understand the meaning of these words. But you didn't expect that you actually understood so quickly. But understanding is just the first step. Do you know how to do it?"

It is easy to say, but harder to do. Everyone knows that the most important thing for an army is to enforce orders, but it is difficult to do it. To put it bluntly, since ancient times, how many armies have truly been able to advance without being insulted, retreat without being chased, advance when hearing drums, stop when hearing gold, not be confused when facing battles, and not be defeated when defeated?

"Du Yuhou, Bei Zhi has an immature idea."

"Speak straight."

"The idea of ​​humble officials is that after appointing the lower-level officers, they will use three people and one team, three teams as one squadron, and each team must have one person as the core, and each squadron must have one team as the core."

"continue."

"Not practicing fighting formations, swords and guns, but practicing weight-bearing running and queues every day."

"Do you need to practice your strength first and strengthen your physique? This is feasible. Although these recruits are very young, they were just farmers before. However, what is the difference between this queue and a battle formation? Why do you need to practice a queue instead of a battle formation?"

"The method of battle formation is too complicated and requires extremely high tacit cooperation. What we lack most now is tacit cooperation. At this time, practicing battle formations will undoubtedly achieve half the result with twice the effort. Therefore, the idea of ​​humble officials is to start from the simplest practice, while practicing load-bearing, which not only increases the physical fitness of the soldiers, but also trains their obedience, endurance and physical strength. When practicing the queue, start from the simplest standing posture and horizontal line-up. This kind of training is boring and simple, and cultivates the concept of discipline. The basic purpose of our queue training is: "Perform orders and prohibitions" that is, "Perform orders and prohibitions must be stopped." Without rules, there is no square. Team training always emphasizes discipline and constantly strengthens their concept of discipline until a "conditioned reflex" is formed. No more "why" is asked in front of orders, but "when orders must be implemented, and when prohibitions must be stopped."

"Conditioned Reflex?" Song Wen was a little confused about this new word.

Li Jing reacted and said a new term that the Tang people didn't understand, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "For example, conditioned reflex, for example, the bell and drum tower in every city, every evening drum and morning bell. Over time, when everyone heard the sound of drums at night, they knew that it was time to close the city gate at night, and when they heard the bells in the morning, they knew that the city gate was opened, and a new day began. Over time, the bells in the evening were a conditioned reflex. When everyone heard the sound of bells and drums, they knew what was going on, and they would never think about why."

"Well, this is good, it's true. If our soldiers can really achieve this 'conditioned reflex', they can be implemented with orders and prohibitions, and great achievements can be expected."

"Yes, the cohort training is not only the case, our purpose is to enhance collective consciousness. In the cohort, everyone is "sharing joys and sorrows": share happiness and share punishment. I plan to use collective punishment measures intentionally or unintentionally to curb the spread of individual bad behaviors during training, so as to enhance students' collective consciousness."

"Okay, keep going." Hearing this, Song Wen had already become quite interested in Li Jing's cohort training plan.

"There is also the training of a strong will and firm belief through queue training. The training of a strong queue is monotonous, repeated, and boring. It seems that walking around has no meaning, but in fact, the movements of a queue need to be consolidated. In the eyes of Beizhi, the queue is the basis of various military formations. If the queue is not well trained, there is no need to mention the military formation. It is troublesome to train the military formation. If the military formation is not trained frequently, and if it is not practiced for a long time, the movements will become unfamiliar and the effect in wartime will be worse. The training of a queue requires the cultivation of a strong will: everyone must do something they don't want to do, they are unwilling to do but they must not do it. The more they do this, the more they need to have a strong will, firm belief and confidence to win. Although queue training is boring, it can develop a strong fighting will in it."

"In addition, through this simple and boring queue training, we can also cultivate a style that is particularly hard-working and combat-oriented, and develop a good temperament. In short, queue itself is a simple thing, but we can use queue training to make a complete change for the recruits, train a tenacious, prohibited, and good-style troops, and then start training in military formations, so that we can learn from one example and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Song Wen pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. After Li Jing finished speaking for a long time, he was still immersed in it. After a long time, Song Wen patted Li Jing's shoulder happily and said, "Although the facts have not been tested, the method you mentioned is very interesting to me. In this way, you will make a detailed plan and write your ideas into a regulation to present them to me. Then I will discuss with Lin and Wang and the officers of each battalion carefully. However, the left one can try your best first. You are now the leader of the first team of the left one capital, and I will appoint you as the coach of the left one capital. You and Wang Chong and other officers of the left one capital will train according to your wishes from tomorrow!"
