The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 32 The Soldiers of Ming Dynasty

"I have to work hard, and next time I will be a private first class, what's the salary of three taels!" A square-faced soldier said excitedly.

"After working for ten years, I have three and a half acres of land, and I can go back and live in peace!"

"Good food, high pay, and land, damn it! Who dares to say that I'm worthless as a soldier?"

"What's all the fuss about? Brothers, it took a lot of effort to pass a third-class soldier! Only a first-class soldier can run ten miles in a quarter and a half, and you have to lift the wooden pole twenty times in a row. Which one of you can do it? "

"Why not, Sun, let's compete next time?" Someone immediately challenged unconvinced.

There were also some soldiers who sighed with emotion, "If all the troops of the Ming Dynasty were treated like this, how could the Jianlu have the right to wreak havoc?"

Zhu Linmei raised her hand to signal silence, and the discussion in the school grounds stopped instantly as if by magic.In just a few minutes, he had a very high prestige in the hearts of these soldiers.

"Let's talk about military discipline next." Zhu Linmi looked around the audience, "My army must have iron-like discipline! If you want to be a soldier in the Longwei New Army, you want to win battles, you want others to respect you, you want to be ordinary. The honor that people can't get, they must implement discipline meticulously!

"The most basic thing is the 'three disciplines and six attentions' in the middle of the school field.

"Among them, those who disobeyed military orders, robbed, and seriously injured others will be executed on the spot. Violations of several other items range from expulsion from the new Longwei army to beating fifty army sticks."

In fact, Zhu Linming also knows that if soldiers want to observe discipline, they must not rely on violence alone. The soldiers must understand the importance of discipline.

But before his instructors were sent to each platoon, they could only rely on punishment to restrain the behavior of soldiers, and then gradually abolish corporal punishment.

The soldiers were shocked.Before, they all thought that following the "three disciplines and six attentions" would make them unable to survive, so they didn't take it seriously at all.

But it's different now.With such a high military salary, there is no need to rely on robbing civilians to make a living.To be honest, they don't want to be robbers, after all, no one wants to be pointed at the back all day long.

In addition, not to mention the use of army sticks, if discipline is violated, there will be no land to divide. How can this be tolerated?Not to mention being kicked out of the new dragon guard army.

No, I have to pay attention all the time in the future, and I must not violate the discipline!This is the thought in almost everyone's mind.

"In addition to these basic disciplines, there are also a series of normative requirements including combat, drills, marching, passwords, attire, housekeeping, etc." Zhu Linmi took out two booklets, "This is the new Longwei Army Discipline Regulations and The training and combat manual will be distributed to each platoon in the future, and someone will be responsible for teaching it. Give everyone half a month to study, and everyone must keep in mind and implement it carefully. After half a month, all violations of military discipline will be strictly punished!"

"Only strict discipline is the basis for an army to be invincible." Zhu Lin said loudly, "Maybe you were just underdogs who had been defeated repeatedly in the past, maybe you were looked down upon or even cursed at the back, maybe you all felt that you would You will live your whole life in such a muddle. When you encounter Qing soldiers, you run away if you can, and occasionally snatching unarmed civilians is your life. You may not know why you want to be a soldier, and you have never even thought about what enemies you can defeat.

"But, should you live like this for the rest of your life? Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?"

There was no sound in the school grounds, only Zhu Linmi's questioning echoed in the ears of every soldier over and over again.

"No! You are soldiers of Ming Dynasty, heroes who protect this country! You should be admired by the people! How can you waste this life in a daze? Absolutely not!
"I hope everyone will remember that from today, from this moment on, you will be the most elite army in Ming Dynasty! I guarantee that in the near future, the new Dragon Guard Army will be able to defeat any enemy! The name of the new Longwei army will have no fighting spirit and even tremble all over. Any enemy who dares to fight with the new Longwei army will definitely lose their helmets and armor and be defeated. Deep fear of you is engraved in their hearts!

"The barracks of the Dragon Guards will be the starting point of your life's honor. Your parents, wives and children will be proud of you, and your neighbors will look up to you and praise you! And all of this, as long as you put in your sweat and loyalty, you will be able to reap it! You, Can it be done?"

These soldiers have experienced too much being looked down upon, exploited by officers, defeated by bandits or Qing soldiers, and hopeless about life.And what Zhu Linming said was something they had never heard or thought about since they were born.

Today, they suddenly find that they are no longer humble military members, and have the possibility of obtaining a good life, dignity, recognition, and honor.Life is no longer a chaos full of despair!

A group of flames burned more and more vigorously in their hearts, and the suffocation that had been suppressed in their chests for a long time suddenly burst out, and there was a roar of landslides and ground cracks on the school grounds, "Yes!!!"

Zhu Linmin nodded in satisfaction. He believed that no one wanted to live a life in vain, and no one wanted to gain honor and recognition.Maslow's needs theory said that once a person solves the problem of food and clothing, he will definitely pursue the respect of others and self-realization, and the soldiers in front of him are no exception.Zhu Linmei's speech scripts, which he had repeatedly recited and rehearsed in the past few days, obviously achieved the effect he expected.

He finally said loudly: "Men in the new Longwei army, let me see if you have achieved some results!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers were taken away according to the formation, and practiced on the school field.

Everyone's temperament is very different from before. I believe that if they fight with yesterday's self at this time, they will definitely win an overwhelming victory.

This is the morale of the troops!Morale is the most powerful weapon in an army!
During the few days when Zhu Linmi taught Macedo and others the "Modern Military Theory" class, the Longnan County Mission Office was formally established.

In the main hall of the Mission Mansion, 18 people stood respectfully on both sides.They are the ones who stand out from the recruitment of the Missionary Office.

After staying up late two days before grading papers, Zhu Linmei selected 140 papers from more than 31 papers—including three candidates. Jiangxi is indeed rich in students—and selected 18 people who are suitable for missionary work.

"Tian Zhuangfei, Li Tong, Gan Yi, and Wang Daqi are appointed as chief writers of the Xuanjiao Office." Hong Si held the roster and read, "Li Yisheng, Zhao Dadu, Wang Ke...a total of 14 people were awarded the missionary positions of the Xuanjiao Office." According to Emperor Longwu's wishes, all the officials of the Xuanjiao Office should be appointed by Zhu Linmi, and they can be handed over to the Ministry of Officials for record.Huang Daozhou, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, naturally had no objection.

Zhu Linmi coughed lightly, and said, "This king is temporarily serving as the ambassador of the Xuanjiao Palace."

Since Ming Cheng Zu Jing Nan, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty really had no prestige.Not to mention these vassals in the Southern Ming Dynasty, who were killed by the bandits and the Manchus, and were even inferior to ordinary officials with real power.Therefore, even though the dozen or so people in the hall were a little surprised that King Chenzhou was also the ambassador of the small missionary office, they were not too surprised.

　It's three o'clock today.

　　Because it's not easy for newcomers, I hope everyone can support and encourage a lot, and don't hesitate to collect, recommend, and comment. The cute new author bows down and thanks!
