Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Zhu Youjian also wore a new black military uniform. The difference from ordinary soldiers was that he wore a large gold star on the collar to mark his military rank.

Well, he shamelessly gave himself the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Who dares to laugh at me, I will kill him.

The first step in forming an army is naturally to declare military discipline. Only clear rewards and punishments can soldiers be convinced and swear to serve.

By the time all the soldiers, driven by the captains and deputy captains, lined up lazily, more than ten minutes had passed. Zhu Youjian's head seemed to have swelled again.

Bear with it, they are all farm children who have never gone to school, cannot read a single Chinese character, and cannot even write their own names. It is simply impossible to ask them to meet various standards and requirements on the first day.

Zhu Youjian suddenly thought of something and stroked his forehead with a forced smile. It seemed that he would have to hire dozens of scholars to be teachers to teach them how to read and write.

He has now lost the idea of ​​having people read out military discipline in public. They are all illiterate people who can't even write their own names. How much energy and tons of spit will you have to spend to make them remember military discipline?

Forget it, let's quickly recruit a group of talented people as teachers to teach the soldiers how to read and write, and then read out military discipline so that they can remember it.

The phenomenon of emphasizing literature over martial arts in the Ming Dynasty was very serious, and everything was of low quality. Only the concept of high education had been deeply ingrained. There were powerless scholars everywhere, especially those poor and down-and-out scholars who were as numerous as dogs.

Zhu Youjian offered a salary of five taels of silver a month, and many poor scholars came to apply for the job. However, he had a condition for recruiting people. Those who could not let go of the mentality of being superior to scholars should get out.

You are so poor that you can’t afford to eat, and yet you are so awesome and coaxing that you want someone to support you as your ancestor?

In less than ten minutes, Zhu Youjian recruited fifty scholars to join the camp as teachers.

Zhu Youjian had hundreds of military disciplines and other pamphlets printed and distributed to fifty teachers, asking them to teach the soldiers how to read and write while also reading them to the soldiers so that the soldiers could remember them in their hearts.

There are strict military orders, and those who violate military discipline will be dealt with according to military law. No one dares to make fun of his own ass or head.

Zhu Youjian was very patient and spent three full days to make all the soldiers memorize military disciplines before starting systematic military routine training.

In the morning, there will be a jogging training of more than ten laps, and then the formation training. In order to make it easier for all soldiers to distinguish the left and right directions, they are asked to tie a white belt on their right arm.

If you still confuse the left and right directions after more than ten times of training, then while other companions are eating fragrant white steamed buns and drinking mouth-watering broth, you will have to train overtime on the martial arts field to become a The object of onlookers from his peers.

In order to emphasize and train the teamwork spirit of the soldiers, if each team makes a mistake, the entire team will be punished for overtime training.

At this point, if you don't work hard and train as hard as you can, you will not only be a disgrace to the entire team, but you will also receive special attention from them, because no one can afford to lose this face.

In order to encourage each team to train hard and strive for the top, Zhu Youjian also established various reward and punishment systems, and held various competitions every now and then. For example, the top three were awarded 150, 100, and 50 taels of silver respectively. The three teams at the bottom are responsible for cleaning the barracks and the smelly latrines.

In addition to being rewarded with a certain amount of silver, soldiers with excellent skills are also promoted to become squad leaders, platoon leaders and other low-level officers.

The treatment of officers and soldiers is very different. The normal monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is one tael of silver, and that of low-level officers is five taels of silver. In wartime, it is doubled to ten taels of silver. When killed in battle, the pension is more than one hundred taels of silver, and the family members He also received a quota for emancipation from slavery.

Under the stimulation of such favorable conditions, which soldier would not want to work hard and work hard to become an officer?

The emperor said that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers, hehe.
