Chapter 624: Officer Trials

readx; Walking northwest from Qinwangzhuang, there is a winding field path, and the new camp of the Qin soldiers is at the end of the path. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt was the height of summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, and even the workers of the Jingyang merchant gang chose to escape the scorching heat for a while, and only came out to work again when the sun set and the heat receded slightly.

However, in the camp surrounded by a simple wooden fence, it was crowded with people and the atmosphere was warm. Under the auspices of Xie Sheng, the commander of the First Regiment of the Qin Soldiers, a unique officer selection competition was being carried out intensely. And Zhu Youzhen, who designed the selection subjects, also changed into the outfit of an ordinary soldier and mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement. Of course, the dozens of people around him were all pretended to be special combat soldiers, and outsiders couldn't even get ten steps to his side.

"Today's participants are more than 20 leaders of the militia in the past, as well as more than a dozen veterans and recruits who volunteered, a total of 42 people." Xie Sheng announced with great majesty, "What they want to compete for are the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders of the eight battalions, as well as the chief officers of the staff office, the political office, the equipment office, and the logistics department of the regiment headquarters, a total of 20 positions. Whoever has the best grades will be given priority in the selection of positions. If you don't have good grades, don't think that you can automatically become a company commander or deputy company commander, low-level officers are directly appointed by the regiment commander and the relevant battalion commander after consultation, it may not be you! Alright, now the auditions begin! ”

The first test is dictation. Each participant was given a piece of paper and a pen, and Xie Sheng read aloud a passage from "The Art of War", and everyone had to not only write it down word for word, but also translate it into the vernacular.

"He who stands with a rod is hungry; Those who drink first are thirsty; Those who see profit but do not advance, work also; Bird gatherers, void also; Those who call at night are afraid; The military disturber will not be heavy; The flag movers, chaos also; Those who are angry are tired; Those who kill horses and meat eaters have no food for the army. Xie Sheng didn't need to read a book at all, and blurted out this large paragraph. Everyone was busy writing books, and after a short time, they handed in the papers one after another.

Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied, obviously these people all have a certain culture, which also shows that the selection of Qin soldiers and the cultural education after entering the camp are relatively successful.

However, the next public evaluation made people feel a little unbearable. Xie Sheng held a scroll and shouted angrily: "This passage is to teach us how to observe the enemy army and judge their state from the behavior of the enemy army. The first phrase, 'Those who stand with a rod, are hungry' means that if the enemy army stands with their guns on their hands, it means that they have not had enough to eat. Look at what this one wrote: The one who swells and stands, the chicken also. I'm embarrassed to explain: the chicken just has a bulging belly! ”

In the laughter of everyone, Xie Sheng looked at the owner of this volume with disdain and said: "Liu Quanzhong, when the head of this regiment gives you a lesson at night, did you kid sleep and dream of stealing old hens?" ”

The young man named Liu Quanzhong's face was flushed, but he said a little unconvinced: "Leader, you know that I have just started to read and write, and I still have to take the writing test, so it is clear that you just want to brush me down!" If I take the shooting test and the stabbing test, I won't be scared! ”

"Shut up!" Xie Sheng scolded sternly, "Now it's the selection of officers, do you think officers are so good?" The life and death of hundreds of people in the whole battalion are in your hands, you can fight by yourself, you don't know how to command, you don't know how to distinguish the enemy's situation, okay? If you don't know how to write, forget it, you don't know how to pretend to understand, and you can't write nonsense, if it's on the battlefield, it's a blind command! You have zero points for this one! ”

Xie Sheng immediately scored the other papers on the spot, and those who wrote quickly and well were awarded nine points and ten points, and those with many typos and words that did not reach their meaning could only be scored four or five points. After all the scores were completed, Xie Sheng yelled at Liu Quanzhong, who was wiping his tears: "What kind of nose are you crying?" This is the first item, and there are many more assessments to follow! Having a little setback and want to give up? ”

Liu Quanzhong thought that he had been eliminated, but when he heard Xie Sheng's words, he immediately came to stand up excitedly, and replied loudly: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, I will fight for the first place in every item in the future!" ”

"Don't brag." Xie Sheng said coldly, "The second item is to test firearms." Our Qin soldiers mainly fought with firearms, and as military commanders, they must be proficient in the use of firearms. Now each of you will be given a bird's gun, and you will completely disassemble it and put it back together! ”

This assessment is also something that Zhu Youzhen attaches special importance to, because in the troops of the previous life, dismantling and loading guns was one of the compulsory training subjects for officers and men. This not only allows soldiers to understand the principles and construction of firearms, but also better master shooting skills; And it helps to troubleshoot the gun, and in the cruel battlefield, you can choose the intact parts from the damaged guns to piece together a good gun.

Especially in this time and space, the use of firearms is not yet widespread, and even among the soldiers of the Qin soldiers, there is a tendency not to be accustomed to and dislike the use of firearms, but to prefer cold weapons that are easier to master. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of this selection of officers to firmly establish the concept of giving priority to firearms among officers and men.

After this assessment, Liu Quanzhong really won the first place and scored ten points. Others are also fast, some are slow, and even some can't be loaded after dismantling the gun, and Xie Sheng also scored them one by one.

Immediately after the third assessment, hundreds of recruits were divided into groups of ten and walked up to the field in turn. Each reference corresponds to a group of recruits, and their names and places of origin, as well as general physical characteristics, are written down in a very short period of time.

In this assessment, Zhu You examines leadership ability. Because when a leader first has to be familiar with his subordinates, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, and the "confidant" is still in front of the "knowing the other". Whoever is more talented in this area must be good material for being a commander.

The fourth assessment is the physical fitness test, and the participants score very highly. The fifth item is interesting again, the reference person has to say a paragraph in public, and the content is not limited. Some people really stammer, don't know what to say, and their faces are flushed; Liu Quanzhong patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't look at my zero score in the first round, I will never admit defeat." No matter what the test is in the future, I will take the test well, the head of the regiment said, this is called 'coming from behind'! Brothers, if I can really be the battalion commander, and I will lead you like this, would you like to let me be our battalion commander? ”

"Yes!" There are really a lot of soldiers who were encouraged by him below. Xie Sheng watched silently, still scoring meticulously.

The sixth item is the riding test, the seventh item is the calculation of shooting elements, the eighth item is the mandarin duck formation drill, and the ninth item is the archery competition. These are more professional competitions, naturally some people are better at it, and some people are slightly worse. Xie Sheng finished scoring one by one, and then announced: "The tenth assessment: everyone stripped naked and stood under the sun for an hour!" ”

This assessment is too unexpected and too cruel. But the military order was like a mountain, and whoever dared not obey it, all the references immediately took off their shirts and stood still under the scorching midday sun.

As the minutes ticked by, the sweat of these warriors dripped to the ground and was dried from the bottom; Some people have been sunburned, but they grit their teeth and insist; There are also some people who can't stand it and faint directly.

When an hour finally passed, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be the first to applaud. The whole barracks immediately burst into applause, and everyone was cheering for these rock-strong warriors!
