Ming Empire

Chapter 45 Unlucky

The recruit training plan formulated by Cao Yue basically refers to the training methods of the army in later generations.

Before crossing, Cao Yue stayed in the army for many years.From graduating from the military academy to becoming a company commander in the field army, Cao Yue has trained many batches of recruits, and he is very knowledgeable about how to train recruits.

During the time when he accepted the appointment of Emperor Chongzhen and was preparing to serve as the commander in chief in Datong, Cao Yue had already written out the training plan.

During the period between returning to Beijing and leaving Beijing for Datong, Cao Yue also trained his [-] soldiers with his own plan.It can be said that the three thousand soldiers who followed him back to Beijing and followed him to Datong had already experienced the new style of military training first.

It can be said that after more than a month of training, this sergeant, who was originally of good military quality, has undergone a radical change.

These personnel will become the backbone of the training in the following training, and they will be responsible for specific training as coaches.

Cao Yue will personally preside over the training of recruits, and the results of the training will also be assessed by himself.

Before the start of recruit training, Cao Yue summoned all the officers above the commander-in-chief and announced his training plan, as well as the discipline of the Datong Army.Orders and prohibitions, strict obedience to the superiors, this point is repeatedly emphasized by Cao Yue.An army without discipline is destined to be a mob.Cao Yue also slightly changed the disciplinary regulations of the later generations of the People's Liberation Army, wrote it in a way that everyone can understand, posted it everywhere in the barracks, and repeatedly ordered that anyone who violated military discipline will be punished.

Cao Yue also formed a military discipline picket, and every battalion was stationed there.

The strictness of discipline established by Cao Yue made the officers who participated in the mobilization meeting gasp.However, many people are a little bit disapproving. Since then, Cao Yue has just used it to scare people, and will not strictly enforce it in practice.

In the past, there were many regulations and disciplines in the Ming Army, but from top to bottom, not many people strictly followed them.

However, on the first day of training, all the officers and sergeants saw Cao Yue's resolute and ruthless side.

Referring to the appearance of the barracks in later generations, Cao Yue established strict work and rest time, and asked the sergeant to blow the horn every day when he got up, so as to start the day's training.On the first day, when he got up and whistled, the barracks became a hornet's nest in chaos, and Cao Yue also started his first step in strictly governing the army.

After the sharp whistle blew, the recruits were awakened from their sleep, and the generals and thousand generals who had been notified in advance each shouted in front of their subordinates' tents, urging their soldiers to Hurry up to the training ground to assemble.

The big camp suddenly fell into chaos, and there was chaos everywhere. In the specified time, except for the [-] troops left by Cao Yue, no one came to the training ground within the specified time. gather.

It wasn't until about half an hour later that the general manager and the general manager Qian organized their respective teams. Cao Yue looked at the chaotic recruits in front of him with a cold face, without any expression on his face.This is not surprising. In later generations, those recruits were only a little better than them when they first assembled. The key is whether these recruits can improve in the next few days.

"Today's assembly disappointed me very much. If tomorrow's assembly is so flustered again, I will definitely punish the leader of the army, Chief Qian." After the team was assembled, Cao Yue began to lecture, and pointed to a team next to him. Short Fragrance said: "From now on, we will use this to measure the time when we get up in the morning. If someone exceeds the time limit, they will be punished themselves. Today, I will emphasize once again that everyone must strictly abide by the military discipline that I will promulgate. There will be no appeasement from anyone."

Several other deputy chief soldiers and deputy generals standing beside Cao Yue all looked at Cao Yue with doubts.They couldn't understand why Cao Yue engaged in such a collection method.Although Cao Yue had told them the specific training methods in the past few days, they still couldn't understand it when they actually faced it.However, most of them have a better understanding of Cao Yue's repeated emphasis on military discipline, and they don't want to see Wu Ming and others, the deputy commander in chief of the Datong Town Army, who Cao Yue has the final say on, and want to find an opportunity Cao Yue felt uncomfortable.

"General Cao, are you making a big fuss?" Wu Ming, the deputy general, couldn't help muttering, "It's enough for the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, and they must be assembled within the specified time. Is it necessary?"

"Military orders are like a mountain, and the sergeants under his command must abide by any orders from the general, including the assembly during training." Cao Yue turned his head and glanced at Wu Ming. He was very dissatisfied with Wu Ming's words at this time, and he said very seriously: " Assembly is an order, which can test the discipline of an army, and it is also a manifestation of the combat effectiveness of an army. If the assembly can be done in an orderly and orderly manner, do you think the combat effectiveness of this army will be poor? Even the assembly is noisy Will our army have combat effectiveness?"

Seeing Cao Yue's seriousness, Wu Ming, who was not convinced by Cao Yue at first, wanted to argue a few words, but Cao Yue didn't wait for him to say anything, and then drank with dignity: "All the training affairs of the Datong Town Army are handled by the generals. Forget it, strictly follow the execution, if someone disrespects, don't blame this general for enforcing military discipline!"

As Cao Yue said, he put his hand on the sword at his waist.

The sword worn on Cao Yue's waist is the Shangfang Sword bestowed by Emperor Chongzhen. The intentional gesture he made while speaking instantly attracted everyone's attention.The deterrence of the imperial power is still quite strong, and Cao Yue's seemingly inadvertent action immediately stunned everyone.

So did Wu Ming, he didn't dare to say anything, and reluctantly closed his mouth.

After the assembly is over, now order the generals to take their subordinates and run along the training ground.

The military camp where Cao Yue stayed had 3 soldiers. The camp was very large, and the training ground was at least the size of several football fields.Run a circle along the outermost part of the camp, about two kilometers.On the first day of training today, all the soldiers were hungry, and Cao Yue didn't ask too much, as long as they ran around.

The role of strict requirements when recruiting soldiers is quite obvious. The source of this batch of recruits is mainly young and middle-aged people. They jogged around, and almost no one pulled them down. This surprised Cao Yue, and he sighed in his heart that the quality of recruits in this era is not very bad. At least physically.

After the morning run, it's time for breakfast.

For breakfast, steamed buns and porridge, Cao Yue also made regulations on the meal time, requiring all sergeants to finish eating within a short time, and take away all the food immediately after the time.Fortunately, these soldiers had a big appetite, and most of them finished their meal much shorter than the stipulated time.

After breakfast, there is formation and pace training, which of course is exactly the same as in the army of later generations.

Unfortunately, except for the [-] sergeants originally led by Cao Yue, there are not many other people who can complete the most basic formation movements such as standing at attention, resting, turning left and right, and starting to walk. They often bump into each other when turning left and right. Together, many people get it wrong.The start is also uneven, even Wu Ming, Zhang Tai, Gao Qing, Zhu Yang and others are the same.

Cao Yue also personally participated in the training, and his training targets were Wu Ming, Zhang Tai, Gao Qing, Zhu Yang and other relatively high-ranking newcomers in the Datong Army.Before the training started, he gave a strict order that whoever did not perform well in training would be punished.His punishment method was not to hit them with army sticks, but to punish them to run and run around the training ground.

Unfortunately, the first person to be punished was Wu Ming, the deputy commander in charge of monitoring Cao Yue.

During the training, Wu Ming was obviously just pretending, no matter what the movements were, he would finish them lazily, and sometimes he muttered dissatisfiedly, saying that such a training method was meaningless, and he suggested discussing the training method with Cao Yue .His non-cooperation set a very bad example. Gao Qing and Zhu Yang followed suit and dealt with it casually, which annoyed Cao Yue.

"General Wu, your performance in training today is not satisfactory. You will have to be punished by running a lap around the training ground!" Cao Yue said majestically in front of everyone. Zhu Yang and the others said, "It's the same with you, run around with Vice President Wu, if you can't run down, then you will only have army sticks to serve you!"

Cao Yue's punishment decision shocked everyone!
