Originally, there were three major problems in the military affairs of Fufeng County: recruitment, establishment, and capture, but after Ma Chao's speech today, he combined these three things into one and solved them together.

Most of the captives were young and strong, about 10,000 people. Ma Chao estimated that in a month, he would be able to recruit more than 8,000 people. In this way, the problem of recruiting soldiers is solved: most of these thieves have been on the battlefield, and if they are properly trained, they are much stronger than those newly recruited militiamen; And if these prisoners are absorbed into the Ma family's army, the problem of prisoners will not exist at all. As for the issue of establishment reform......

If it weren't for Ma Chao's epoch-making reform, why would these captives be so eager to join Ma Jiajun?

However, although Ma Chao's move seems to be comprehensive, it is not so easy to implement.

At least, on this school field, Ma Chao has been so angry that he wants to scold several times. The reason is that Pang De, Brother Chou and Ma Dai are a little confused about the training method explained by Ma Chao.

Originally, after compiling the trilogy, Pang De, Chouge and Ma Dai were still happy for a day, after all, after the troops were separated, they would be judged by their military merits on the battlefield in the future. In this way, which is stronger and which is weak, will naturally see a real chapter in the future.

But just a day after the three of them were happy, they were blinded, just in time for Ma Chao to inspect the barracks for the first time. Therefore, the discomfort and difficulty of the new things that have just been generated by Ehare are all exposed in front of Ma Chao.

According to the ideas of Pound, Chouge and Ma Dai, the infantry is to train the soldiers in their personal martial arts, and the cavalry is to train the knights in equestrianism. And when they themselves used to be soldiers, they came to kill the enemy and save their lives. And Ma Dai is even worse, he just wants to pass on the Ma family's marksmanship to the soldiers and let the soldiers figure it out for themselves......

However, the training method given by Ma Chao first had to let the soldiers practice the queue, first to stand neatly and know the direction, and then to turn left and right, forward and backward, and turn people around.

"Young master, what are you doing as a soldier practicing this? Standing neatly and can't be eaten, and a certain is not the tiger honor guard of the imperial court, why are you standing so beautiful? A certain class is to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, to practice martial arts, martial arts! The ugly brother waved his arms and shouted excitedly at the horse.

Ma Chao was so angry that he didn't even bother to explain to the ugly brother, because he knew that in this regard, it was impossible to tell the ugly brother. However, after all, he was angry in his heart, and finally a word popped out of his mouth: "Fart!" The most important thing for a soldier is not martial arts, but discipline! Under an order, move forward bravely, march forward with a drum, withdraw the troops with gold, and prohibit the order, which is the elite soldier of a hundred battles. In the past, Xiliang Tieqi was used to being a bandit, so he couldn't contain his legs in battle! ”

The ugly brother did not follow Ma Chao to participate in the grassland war, but Pang De, the person concerned on the side, understood what Ma Chao meant: In the era of cold weapons, if there is no discipline, then the soldiers under his command are completely scattered. Imagine what can be done on the battlefield, martial arts, thousands of spears poke around, thousands of long knives one after another, even the gods descend to earth, and also poke a few transparent holes, and cut them down. At the beginning on the grassland, it was because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not have any discipline and could not be restrained when retreating, which would cause a large number of warriors to fall into siege......

Ma Chao combined with the tragic experience on the grassland and knew this truth. Therefore, he came up to let the soldiers practice the queue, in order to avoid the tragedy from happening again.

The first embodiment of the queue is discipline, and it is the most basic to train the soldiers to form a knee-jerk reaction in the future, and when they go to the battlefield, the commander will naturally make corresponding actions as soon as they give an order.

As for martial arts, hum, of course it's good to have martial arts, and it doesn't matter if you don't have martial arts, as long as you know how to obey orders on the battlefield and wield knives and bayonets. When you really go to the battlefield, you will find that even if you don't know any martial arts, you can kill a lot of enemy soldiers!

And if it's that kind of undisciplined martial arts, then let him go. At that time, when you fall under siege by the enemy, you have to see if you have the magic of invulnerability...... Hmph, Lao Tzu's army doesn't want any martial arts masters, unless you are at the level of the undefeated in the East.

After explaining, Ma Chao still didn't understand when he looked at the ugly brother. He didn't pay any attention to him, and went on the field himself with a whip.

In Pound's ministry, the new Captain Ma Dai stood at the head of the queue with an aggrieved face. Seeing his eldest brother coming over with an unkind face, he knew that his eldest brother would not give himself a little face at all. immediately changed his expression, stood up with his chest up, and stood up: if he was whipped by the eldest brother in public, then he really had no face to mix in this barracks......

And Ma Chao saw that Ma Dai was standing quite like something, so he smiled at him as a sign of encouragement. As a result, Ma Dai should have been unlucky, seeing Ma Chao smile, he thought he had something to say to him, so he said, "Big brother, but is there something wrong?" ”

'Smack! As soon as the ground was whipped, Ma Chao instructed: "In the barracks, who is your eldest brother?" ”

"Yes! Sir! Ma Dai suddenly remembered the answer that Ma Chao requested, and shouted in pain: "I don't know what advice the chief has?!" ”

"No, it's just that you're standing well and smiling at you......"

Suddenly, Ma Dai's face was as black as the bottom of a black pot, in addition to being wronged, he was still wronged......

Ma Chao walked around with a horsewhip, and when he saw which one stood crookedly, it was a whip, which one stood loosely, and it was a whip, and the soldiers who had not done the same thing before saw that even Ma Dai, who stood well, but was whipped because of the wrong answer, finally knew that it was powerful, and they all stood straight and did not squint, but it was quite a bit of a look.

After more than ten days of continuous training, this army composed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who flew immediately, the decent imperial court soldiers, and the chaotic Qiang people and Hu people finally stood in shape. These days, Ma Chao is present every day, personally supervised, and after seeing such results, he began to practice turning left and right, but these soldiers have never heard these passwords, and they turned messy at the beginning, either you touched me, or I took you, and from time to time the two came face to face, so the whip fell on them mercilessly.

However, Pound and Ugly Brother are now becoming more and more energetic, and the two of them also carry whips and join the ranks of those who whip the wrong. It's a pity that after Ma Chao found out about this, he directly threw these two people into the queue and practiced left and right turns.

At the end of the day, I was too tired to practice martial arts in the army than before, and all the soldiers went to the training ground, ate in three or two, and fell asleep one by one, and the snoring in the barracks came and went, like thunder.

These soldiers, all of them are veterans who fought down from the battlefield, and they basically all have a hand in martial arts and horse riding, and what they lack is discipline. That's why Ma Chao trained them like this, and only in this way can Ma Chao's prestige in the army be gradually established.

And none of these veterans have any opinions or resistance, after all, the systems and norms established by Ma Chao clearly wrote out the criteria for ranking by rank and rewarding military contributions. Whoever can adapt will be able to ascend to the top, and who will get more tangible rewards and respect from others.

And as a result, the sense of honor of the army and individuals has gradually sprouted in these big-headed soldiers, and the differentiation of Xiliang soldiers, county soldiers, and Qiang and Hu people has long been unknown.

What the? You have been following the young master for two years?

I don't care about you!

Only a second-class soldier, dare not salute me, a first-class soldier who only followed the young master for half a year and killed more than 50 thieves? Lao Tzu immediately cut you, and after you cut you, you have to go to the military department to complain, accusing you of contempt for your superiors...... If you dare to form a group to beat me, I will sue you and let the young master personally cut you down!

More than 20 days later, Ma Chao said to Pang De and Brother Ugly with satisfaction: "It's a bit like it now, but in the next training, you should pay more attention to disciplined training." In addition, it can be repaired martial arts and physical training. After three months, from these excellent low-level officers will jump out and form an organization, and in the future, the two of you will be much easier. ”

"Young Master Xie pointed out...... "Pound and the ugly brother, who have suffered for more than 20 days, are grateful, and they can't wait to send Ma Chao away quickly: This young master is too torturous......
