"Lao Tzu has to save up his strength, and next time he will be a first-class soldier, three taels of silver!" A square-faced soldier said excitedly.

"After ten years of work, there will be three and a half acres of land, and you can go back and live with peace of mind!"

"Well fed, high salary, and land, it! Who dares to say that Lao Tzu is unproductive as a soldier? ”

"What are you all happy about? It took a few brothers to pass a third-class soldier! A quarter and a half of work can run ten miles to be a first-class soldier, and when you come back, you have to lift the wooden pole 20 times in a row, which of you can do it? ”

"Why not, surnamed Sun, let's compare the two next time?" Immediately, someone challenged unconvinced.

Some soldiers also sighed in a low voice, "If all the armies of the Ming Dynasty are treated like this, how can they have the share of the construction and wreaking havoc?" ”

Su Chengyu raised his hand to signal quietness, and the discussion in the school field instantly stopped as if in magic. In just a few minutes of work, he had a great prestige in the hearts of these soldiers.

"Let's talk about military discipline now." Su Chengyu looked around the audience, "My army must have iron discipline!" If you want to be a soldier in the Dragon Guard New Army, if you want to win battles, if you want others to respect you, and if you want honors that ordinary people can't get, you must be meticulous in enforcing discipline!

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

"Among them, those who do not obey military orders, rob, or beat people and seriously injure them are to be punished on the spot. Several other violations ranged from expulsion from the new army of Longwei to the beating of fifty military sticks. ”

In fact, Su Chengyu also knew that if you want soldiers to abide by discipline, you must not rely only on violent means, but must let the soldiers themselves understand the importance of discipline.

However, until his instructions were not assigned to the platoons, the only way to restrain the soldiers' behavior was to rely on punishment, and then to gradually abolish corporal punishment.

The soldiers' hearts shook. Before, they all thought that they would not be able to survive by abiding by the "three disciplines and six attentions", so they didn't take it seriously at all.

But now it's different. With such a high salary, there is no longer a need to rob civilians for a living. To be honest, they don't want to be robbers, after all, no one wants to be pointed at their backs all day long.

In addition, not to mention beating military sticks, if discipline is violated, there will be no land, where can this be endured? Not to mention that he will be kicked out of the new army of Longwei.

No, you have to be careful all the time in the future, and you must not violate discipline! That's what almost everyone thinks in their hearts.

"In addition to these basic disciplines, there are also a series of normative requirements including combat, drills, marches, passwords, dress, housekeeping, and so on." Su Chengyu took out two pamphlets, "This is the military discipline regulations and training and combat manual of the Longwei New Army, which 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 remember and implement it conscientiously. Half a month later, all violations of military discipline will be severely punished! ”

"Only strict discipline is the basis for the invincibility of the army." Su Chengyu said loudly, "Maybe you were just a weak brigade that was defeated repeatedly, maybe you were looked down upon or even poked and cursed in the back, maybe you yourself think that you will live a life in such a mess." When you encounter Qing soldiers, you can flee, and occasionally rob the unarmed people is your life. You may not even know why you want to be a soldier, and you yourself may not even think about defeating any enemy.

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

There was silence in the school yard, only Su Chengyu's questioning echoed in the ears of every soldier over and over again.

"Nope! You are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the heroes who protect this country! It should be admired by the people! How can you waste this life in a mess? Never!

"I hope you will remember that from today onwards, from this moment on, you will be the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty! I promise that in the near future, the new army of the Dragon Guard will be able to defeat any enemy! Whether it is a Qing prisoner or a rogue, when they hear the name of the new army of Long Wei, they will have no fighting spirit and even tremble. Any enemy who dares to fight the new army of the Dragon Guard will surely lose his armor and be defeated, and his heart will be engraved with a deep fear of you!

"The Dragon Guard Barracks 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 this, as long as you pay sweat and loyalty, you can reap it! Can you do it? ”

These soldiers have experienced too much despise, exploitation by officers, defeat by rogues or Qing soldiers, and hopelessness in life and life. And Su Chengyu's words were something they had never heard or thought about since they were born.

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

A flame burned more and more in their hearts, and a sullen breath that had been held in their chests for a long time suddenly burst out, and a roar of landslides and cracks sounded on the school field, "Can you !! ”

Su Chengyu nodded with satisfaction, he believed that no one wanted to live a life in a mess, and no one wanted to gain honor and recognition. Maslow's theory of needs says that once a person solves the problem of food and clothing, then he will definitely pursue the respect and self-realization of others, and these soldiers in front of him are naturally no exception. Su Chengyu's repeated recitation and rehearsal of the speech script in the past few days obviously achieved the effect he expected.

He finally said in a loud voice: "Gentlemen of the Longwei New Army, you have all practiced some results to show me!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers were led apart according to the formation and practiced on the school grounds.

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

This is the morale of the troops! Morale is the army's most powerful weapon!

In the days when Su Chengyu gave a lesson on "Modern Military Theory" to Macedo and others, the Longnan County Mission Office was officially established.

In the main hall of the mission house, eighteen people stood on both sides. They are the ones who stand out from the mission office.

After staying up late to read the papers in the first two days, Su Chengyu selected 31 from the more than 140 papers—among which there were even three lifters, and Jiangxi is indeed rich in students—and selected 18 people who were suitable for missionary work.

"Tian Zhuangfei, Li Tong, Gan Yi, and Wang Daqi were awarded the official position of chief writer of the Propaganda Office." Hong Si held the roster and read, "Li Yisheng, Zhao Dadu, Wang Ke...... A total of 14 people were awarded missionary positions in the Mission Office. "According to Emperor Longwu's intentions, all the officials of the Mission Office are currently appointed by Su Chengyu, and they can be submitted to the Ministry of Officials for the record. Huang Daozhou, as the secretary of the ministry, naturally has no objections.

Su Chengyu coughed lightly and said, "This king is temporarily serving as the ambassador of the Mission Mansion. ”

Since the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor Jing martyrdom, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty really have no prestige. Not to mention these vassal kings in the Southern Ming Dynasty, they were killed by the Liukou and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they were not even as good as ordinary officials with real power. Although more than a dozen people in the hall were a little surprised that this King of Chenzhou was also the ambassador of the Little Mission Office, they were not too surprised.
