I'm a big dick

Chapter 212 Gan Hui Hong Xu, Medal

But this did not prevent Shen Yourong from leading the fleet to train the battle line techniques and tactics, and the possible battle did not make him feel afraid of the red-haired barbarians.

Taking advantage of the number of ships and troops, Shen Yourong already had a plan to fight the Hongmaoyi.

Although there was no such thing as "wolf pack" tactics at that time, actual combat examples were not uncommon.

Especially the fire boat tactics, which is an ancestral skill, it's not like Xiyi, which has such a pitiful few.I use dozens or even hundreds of them in Ming Dynasty, and the scene is spectacular!

In addition to suggesting the line of battle, the emperor also had the matter of the Naval Academy mentioned earlier.

Shen Yourong is also gradually implementing it. Although he does not fully agree with it, some ideas can still be implemented and are beneficial.

Now, Shen Yourong has just returned from a cruise with the fleet, and has devoted himself to the training of new sailors.

There is a boundless blue sea in front of you. Looking far away, the light blue sky and sea water are connected together. It is hard to tell whether it is a cloud or a sea.

The rising and falling tide surged on the fine sand on the shore, and kindly climbed up Gan Hui's feet.

The whistle blew, and Gan Hui and the recruits ran to the sea together, splashing countless water in the sea.

Swimming, of course, is the basic training for sailors. It's not impossible for landlubbers to enlist in the army, but you have to be able to pass the white stripes in the waves.

Gan Hui's water skills are very good, because he lives in Haicheng County and grew up by the sea since he was a child.His parents died early. Although he is poor, he values ​​loyalty and loves to fight against injustice.

Because of this temperament, he was disgusted and persecuted by the patriarch, and was forced to wander in Zhangzhou, Shima and other places, not daring to return to his hometown.

Later, Gan Hui became a sailor on a ship and worked with a sea merchant for a year or two.Unwilling to be wasted like this, he joined the army and became a recruit of the Donghai Navy.

A recruit behind him coughed. It was because of poor swimming skills that he drank the bitter and salty sea water.

Gan Hui didn't care about that, jumped over the deep water, and swam forward vigorously.Out of the corner of his eye, a bronze-colored figure was cutting through the waves, as if his speed was different from his own.

It was this guy again, Gan Hui gritted his teeth, speeded up his strokes, and swam towards the floating platoon ahead.

A little bit of bitter sea water entered his mouth, but Gan Hui didn't care, his eyes were only on the red on the floating raft, his target.

Private soldier, this is Gan Hui's first goal.Then corporal, corporal, sergeant, sergeant...

Gan Hui knew very well that in the army, he had to climb up step by step in order to realize his dream of becoming the leader and returning to his hometown.

The sound of shouting and cheering rang in his ears, which made Gan Hui even more excited.It's such a feeling to be at the top of the limelight...

Whoa, whoa, the two figures reached out and put their hands on the floating raft almost indiscriminately, causing the edge of the floating raft to sink into the sea water.

Before he had time to take a look at his old opponent, Gan Hui stepped on the water with his feet and used his hands to turn over and climb up.

The two figures quickly stood up on the floating row, and ran forward, the floating floating row was under their feet, as if it was no different from the flat ground.

Almost at the same time, two big hands stretched out and held the red flag pole which symbolizes winning the championship.

"My—" Gan Hui couldn't help screaming, fighting vigorously.

Hehe, the opponent's laughter seemed very immature, but it was so powerful that Gan Hui was pulled unsteadily by him.

Oh, Gan Hui gritted his teeth and raised his head, facing a young face, he was also tense and stared hard.

The two of them refused to show weakness, they held on to the little red flag and got entangled on the floating row.

Hehe, Shen Yourong saw it clearly on the boat, stroked his beard and laughed.

Young people should have such a competitive heart, both boys are good, and he is going to set an example for other recruits.

Boom, boom, boom!The gong struck three times, announcing the end of today's selection.

Although Gan Hui and the young man stopped fighting, they still refused to let go of the little red flag in their hands. You look at me, I look at you, and they are not to be outdone.

"My lord told you to come here." The sand boat approached the floating row, and a soldier shouted loudly.

Holding the red flag in one hand, the two young men seemed to be holding hands, staring at each other as they walked past the floating raft, came to the side of the boat, and awkwardly jumped onto the sand boat.

The soldiers stepped forward to collect the red flag, and this was considered to be the liberation of the two of them.The two stepped forward to salute, saying, "The little one has seen the grown-up."

Shen Yourong looked up and down, with a smile on his face, full of admiration, and asked, "Please tell us your name and background."

"Little one..." The two said in unison, feeling awkward, they glanced at each other.

Shen Yourong pointed and said, "You report first."

"Little Gan Hui, from Haicheng, eighteen this year."

"Young Hong Xu, from Tong'an, is seventeen this year."

Shen Yourong smiled and said, "I am very pleased to see that you two are very good at swimming and have the desire to strive for success."

His face turned serious, and Shen Yourong said: "Gan Hui and Hong Xu have been promoted to first-class soldiers today. I hope you and others will continue to work hard and live up to my expectations."

Both Gan Hui and Hong Xu could not hide their joy, they bowed and saluted, and said loudly, "Thank you for your promotion."

Shen Yourong ordered in a deep voice: "The two of you will go out to patrol the sea with the officers tomorrow, there must be no mistakes."

"Little one obeys the order." The two saluted and accepted the order again, their voices echoing louder.

..............................

The sense of honor is a key factor to improve the morale of the army, enhance the combat effectiveness, and stimulate the fighting spirit.

For honor, passionate soldiers can fight to the death; for honor, they will also be brave enough to sacrifice their lives for the country.

Napoleon once said: As long as I have enough medals, I can conquer the world.

Although some exaggeration, but the truth is correct.

Soldiers have military ranks, which is a manifestation of ability and a symbol of honor.Not only that, Zhu Youxiao also produced a batch of medals, which were awarded to officers and soldiers who have made great achievements in combat.

The first batch of recipients of the medals were the officers and soldiers of Liaozhen, Dengzhen, Jinzhen, and Dongjiang Town who won the battle in Liaodong.

Medals are temporarily divided into two types, one is the Medal of Loyalty awarded to officers, and the other is the Medal of Fearlessness awarded to soldiers.

There are two kinds of medals, one made of silver and the other made of copper, with exquisite style and workmanship. The words "loyalty and bravery" and "fearlessness" engraved on the back of the medal are written by the imperial pen of Long Live.

The scene of awarding medals and rewarding silver is very formal and solemn. This is an imperial gift and cannot be measured by money.

If you get such a medal, you can hang it on your chest every day, it should be kept as a treasure, and it will be enshrined by your children and grandchildren, a treasure that can shine on the lintel.

Feng Datie's chest stood tall, the scars on his face were not completely healed, and one arm was still hanging, but the shining medal on his chest immediately made him a dazzling existence.

How many eyes of envy and admiration came over, making Feng Datie feel that he is a hero, fearless, this is what Long Live Lord said, engraved on the medal.

Compared with this medal, those white silver coins immediately depreciated in value.

There is also a medal hanging on Zhang Pan's chest, which is the "loyalty and bravery" medal awarded by Mao Island Lord himself when he went to the Phi Island military meeting.

In the first battle of Lushun, the Zuoxie, as the main force, won face for the Dongjiang Army.Although it is a joint operation, it is not a military town after all, and no one wants to show timidity and embarrassment in front of friendly troops.

"The army takes collective combat as its merit. If you have no robes to defend against the enemy side by side, no matter how brave you are, it will be difficult to stop the group of enemies; however, our Left Association will not bury the brave warriors who fight bravely."

After Zhang Pan awarded the medals, he stood on the high platform and announced loudly, "Every soldier of our Left Association was brave and tenacious in the Battle of Lushun, and there were also outstanding warriors who did not retreat from injuries and killed several enemies in a row. After discussion, each soldier was rewarded with ten silver coins. Two, and if there are more than a hundred warriors, an additional 50 taels will be rewarded."

Coax, an uncontrollable uproar broke out in the military queue.

Although in the new military law, there are strict regulations that no harvesting of the enemy's head is allowed on the battlefield, but the reward for killing the enemy has not been finalized.

Now I finally understand the general idea, as long as you win the battle and you are not a coward, then you can get rewards.If you behave more bravely, there will be rewards.

Zhang Xiaoxi wanted to tense up, but couldn't help but grinned, smiling so happily.

Ten taels of silver, several months of military pay!I can buy a lot of food, so that the family can have enough food and clothing!

Taking a sneak peek at Feng Datie who has been promoted to general manager, Zhang Xiaoxi secretly admires him. 50 taels of silver is enough to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law, and there is still a lot left over!

The next time, the next time I fight, I won't be cowardly.I also want to reward 50 taels of silver, and I want to be promoted to lead the army.

Zhang Xiaoxi felt that it was the first time he was on the battlefield, and he did not run away or scare himself, so he was already very powerful.Of course, compared with Feng Datie and other warriors, it is still a lot worse.

I don't know when the war will be fought again, Zhang Xiaoxi was originally afraid and worried, but now he has a bit of anticipation.

From ancient times to the present, there are almost two ways of promotion in the army, one is to spend time to accumulate qualifications, and the other is to gain military merits in wars.

In comparison, military merit promotion is the fastest and relatively fair.After all, if you want to kill the enemy bravely, the officer also needs to win over some capable fighters.

Moreover, usually in war, it is also an opportunity for officers and soldiers to make a fortune.For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, the army had the characteristics and ethos of "rejoicing after hearing the war".

Zhu Youxiao was very envious and wanted to turn Daming's army into that.Hearing that there is going to be a war, everyone screams excitedly, that is the teacher of tigers and wolves, and they can be invincible!

Now I can only say that there are some small signs, because there are already many people who think like Zhang Xiaoxi.

Zhang Pan retreated to the side, watching the nuclear pay officer handing out rewards to the officers and soldiers, he felt very happy.

Participating generals are still participating generals, as long as they are still the chief general of the first association, it will be the end of the day.The two lieutenants under General Mao, can you still surpass the three of them?
But Zhang Pan didn't care at all, because his Left Association was full again.

Although the recruits still have to train for a month or two, their weapons and equipment have been strengthened.Pulling it out again, he is confident that with his left association alone, he will be able to resist tens of thousands of slaves and defend Lushun Castle alone.

Well, the troops have been well trained, and the ammunition and supplies have been hoarded enough. It's almost time for Jiannu to launch an attack in winter again.

When the time comes... Zhang Pan looked to the north and narrowed his eyes.
