Chapter 1 The Theory of Victory
After three rounds of wine, King Li Jing of Qi pointed with his hand at Lin Feng, who was at the end of the table, and asked, "Zhishan, your soldiers are well trained! In just two months, the wasteful soldiers who were recognized by the Imperial Guards have trained you to become the best elite soldiers. Let us tell us about your training methods and experiences."
Lin Feng hurriedly stood up and replied modestly: "The King of Qi is too good. The seniors in the army here are all the soldiers training. The boy's crude attempt is not worth showing off."
"Sir Lin, don't hide your own private matters! Let's talk about it, let's talk about it together." Liu Renshan, the governor of Wuchang, who was seated not far from Lin Feng, said with a smile. Suddenly, several other veteran generals also urged Lin Feng to speak quickly.
Lin Feng no longer refused and stood up respectfully and said, "That kid is just showing off his skills. If there is any inappropriate point, please forgive me for your Majesty, King Qi and all the envoys. The kid believes that the key to training military forces is to strictly enforce discipline. War is actually an art that emphasizes the most discipline. On the battlefield, an organized and disciplined army will have an absolute advantage over the unorganized wandering soldiers and scattered brave men. Today's competition has also fully invented this point. We pay special attention to organizational discipline in daily training and emphasize the implementation of orders."
This can be said to be a cliché, and several veterans nodded slightly to agree.
"Secondly, the boy thinks it is hard training. Today, our soldiers got up early and marched here for 60 miles. After two consecutive matches, they ran twenty laps again, but they could easily complete it. This was entirely due to the arduous and extraordinary training. Take the shield formation as an example. The solid wood shield for each soldier's daily training weighs nearly 40 kilograms, and the training time is much longer, so they can dance the standard shield with the imperial guards with a relaxed and relaxed manner." Lin Feng talked happily, and then listed the daily training courses of the imperial guards and special forces soldiers one by one. The training intensity and methods of those fantasy made these veterans shocked. If these soldiers really trained like this, it would be strange if they could not win!
Lin Feng's face was filled with smiles and continued, "The third thing is that the boy thinks it should be fully prepared. Everything is planned, and nothing is done without it! Everyone knows that we cannot fight an unprepared battle. In order to fight this battle well, we have made targeted plans to discuss the attacks and defense methods that the opponent may take. We do not humbly say that all the opponent's reactions to the battle today are within our expectations. We have practiced how to deal with this countless times, so we can easily win."
After saying this, Li Jingsui and several veterans nodded repeatedly
"The discipline is so strict and the training is so difficult. Why can these so-called waste materials persist within two months? This leads to the fourth article of the boy's training: respect and care. To let these soldiers who were originally without the spirit train spontaneously train crazy, it is not enough to rely on punishment alone. We must respect and care." Lin Feng's words, who spoke frankly, stunned everyone at the scene. Is it really so important to respect and care?
Lin Feng turned around and called Ge Chang over, patted his shoulder, and pointed to the tattoo on his face and said, "Just like Ge Dutou, I gave him a promise to make his tattoo no longer a symbol of shame, lowliness, or stinking soldiers in the future, but a symbol of honor, courage and loyalty! For ordinary soldiers, I give them high military pay to encourage them to be self-esteem and self-improvement, so every soldier will train with all his life."
While everyone was shocked and pondering, Lin Feng continued to sing: "This is the most straightforward and simple truth in the world. You can't let the horse run without letting the horse eat grass. Whipping and kicking can certainly make the horse run for a while, but how long can the horse with an hungry stomach last?"
In Lin Feng's mind, he was very unhappy with a deeply rooted bad habit in Chinese society, that is, his lack of respect and compliance with the most basic common sense truth. Every superior spoke of "The people are more important than the king; the people are like water, and the king is like a boat, and the water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn the boat". However, in actual governance, they do not value it the least, and they are most likely to ignore it. They are often the interests of the people, thinking that the people are sponges, and as long as they are willing to squeeze, they will definitely squeeze out oil and water. Don't know that it is a volcano! When a society finally reaches the extreme intensification of the conflict between officials and the people, a dynasty will basically end. The same is true for soldiers. The superiors usually regard soldiers as cattle and horses, but hope that soldiers will fight bravely on the battlefield and sacrifice others to protect themselves. Isn't this a daydream?
At this time, the people in the seat next to him were also attracted by the Q&A at this table. The whole hall was quiet, and only Lin Feng's powerful voice echoed between the table: "Since the collapse of the former Tang Dynasty, all countries have risen together, and wars have chaotic. If you want to survive in this chaotic world, the main focus is on the soldiers, but where does the soldiers come from? There are those who plunder the people as soldiers, and those who treat the soldiers harshly can be powerful for a while, but looking at history, victory or defeat on the battlefield depends on elite soldiers, and loyal soldiers. Elite soldiers can be trained, but what about loyalty? The boy believes that he must sincerely respect and love every soldier, let him abandon the fear of life and death, let him have no worries, and let him live a generous heart to die!"
Lin Feng knew that the most difficult thing in the world was to put his thoughts into the heads of others, so, taking this opportunity, Lin Feng quickly "concentratedly publicized" his theory of love for soldiers!
After hearing Lin Feng's big words, especially the last word "loyalty", Li Jing couldn't help but smile. Who needs loyal troops and soldiers the most? An emperor!
"Okay! The way is simple! These four points summarized by Lord Lin are common sense, but the key is whether you can do it in daily life! Renshan admires it!" Wuchang Jiedushi Liu Renshan slapped the table and raised his glass to Lin Feng and said, "Mr. Liu respects Lord Lin for a glass!"
"Thank you, Lord Liu!" Lin Feng did not dare to be careless in his etiquette for this old general he respected, so he respectfully picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"That's right, things in the world are always easy to know and difficult to do! He also respects Lord Lin!" He Jingzhu, the governor of Chuzhou and the commander of Chuzhou's regiment training, then stood up and raised the cup for Lin Feng.
Several other old men also stood up and raised their glasses to Lin Feng. Even Wei Cen, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor at the table, had to accompany everyone to greet Lin Feng with a smile.
Lin Feng naturally refused everyone and drank them all. At the end, Lin Feng raised his glass high and said loudly: "No matter how good the boy said, it is just the last quarter. And the ability of these soldiers to try new training is all due to the desire and strong support of His Majesty and King Qi. The boy suggested that all adults give His Majesty a full cup to His Majesty and King Qi to express our most sincere respect and love!"
Of course no one would object to this proposal, so Li Jing and Li Jingsui naturally accepted it with a smile.
As soon as this topic was discussed, the atmosphere of communication at the banquet became even more lively.
When the drinks were over, it was just right to do things. While everyone present was excited, Lin Feng asked Li Jing to openly select talents from the imperial guards and expand the special forces to 200 people. The suggestion was immediately approved.
Of course, the governors who had long been jealous were not willing to fall behind and proposed to select strong soldiers from their own army to participate in special training. Li Jing nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment, but in the name of maintaining justice, he uniformly limited the number of participants in various places to five.
Everyone is naturally clear about the emperor's little thoughts. Isn't it just that everyone is afraid that they have too strong power? We just responded.
When the iron is hit, Lin Feng asked Li Jing for instructions while it was in the seat and immediately opened a special training ground in the training ground in Qingliangshan west of Jinling City. Now the site renovation and dormitory construction will be started. Five days later, based on the principle of voluntary, the entire army of imperial guards organized to select special soldiers and then began to train in a concentrated manner.
Li Jingsui also agreed one by one, and asked the personal guards to immediately notify the Imperial Guards' Generals about the selection, and ordered the Imperial Guards' Northern Office to arrange a special person to contact Lin Feng and speed up the arrangements for the construction of the special training site.
