Chapter 4 Talking about Wutang
The martial arts lecture hall is in the Sun family's village five miles northwest of Wujun City. Sun Quan encircled dozens of acres of land here, built a wall, and built this relatively simple Han Dynasty school. Now there have been more than 5,000 people, basically young and middle-aged men between the ages of ten and eighteen. After testing and age, they are divided into several grades and unified education and management. Because of the limited teaching staff, there are more than 100 trusted men and instructors whom Sun Quan taught himself at the beginning. Here, Zhu Ran and Hu Zong were in charge. At the beginning, they were not divided into civil and military affairs. They all trained together in the form of a company and platoon. One class had ten people, five classes were one platoon, three platoons were one company, and then three companies formed a battalion, three battalions formed a regiment. Of course, one company would have a kitchen squad, one battalion would have a guard squad, one reconnaissance squad, one regiment would have a guard squad, one reconnaissance squad, one regiment would have a guard company, and one reconnaissance company.
It is completely modern, completely different from the Han Dynasty. One of the purposes is to make others not know how many people they have trained. In addition, it can also make others think that they are just unconventional and the soldiers they train are just playing tricks. The people selected are brainwashed education, and they are all civilian tenants. Moreover, spies in the Three Kingdoms era are not so common, so they can basically be kept secret.
Sun Quan brought Lu Su and Zhuge Jin to the martial arts lecture hall. In the distance, he saw a large plaque with the words "A few big words from Jiangdong martial arts lecture hall" and a couplet below. This was also the first of Sun Quan. He directly copied a military academy in later generations, saying "Don't enter this place if you are greedy for life and fear of death. Please come here if you are promoted and make money." He directly told everyone that you are not afraid of death and want to get promoted and make money.
When they arrived at the door, all three of them dismounted and walked. This was a military rule. Sun Quan asked: "Zijing, Ziyu, how about the couplet I wrote? Isn't it very innovative?"
"Lord, the first sentence is quite good, so that everyone can directly understand our requirements for recruiting soldiers, but the latter is written too straightforward and does not conform to the doctrine of the mean of Confucianism." Zhuge Jin said.
"Confucianism is certainly good, but in troubled times, when we recruit soldiers, we must give everyone hope and longing, and let everyone know what you can get from joining our Jiangdong army. It is not as simple as eating food when you are a soldier. So Su thought that this was wrong, but instead revealed the lord's care and commitment to the soldiers." Lu Su said.
"Yes, let's go in. In fact, the main purpose is to promote some ideas. Our soldiers not only have to know how to fight, dance swords and guns, but also know why, who to fight for, and what they can get when they fight. In this way, our soldiers will not betray them easily, and their morale and combat effectiveness will be higher. After all, they will fight from the bottom of their hearts."
When you enter the gate, the first thing you see is a large playground, with square formations on it, and there are many slogans written on the walls around the playground: sweat more and blood less during wartime; soldiers who do not want to be generals are not good soldiers; soldiers take obedience as their duty; they swear to be loyal to our Lord Sun Quan; long live our Lord Sun Quan...
"Look at the soldiers I trained, how about it?" Sun Quan asked casually.
"The morale is high, the pace is neat, the cooperation is tacit, and the advancement and retreat are in moderation, which is a strong army!" Lu Su said.
"Zi Jing, you are just as the military book says. These troops have only been trained for about a month and are still in the queue. There are physical and martial arts trainings that have not started yet. They are not very powerful. Now they are just training them to walk, so that everyone can form a sense of teamwork and develop the habit of obeying orders and obeying commands, and have the brotherly loyalty to never give up."
"As the lord said, this army will be the tiger in Jiangdong. I wonder who the general is this training general?" Zhuge Jin asked.
"The person in charge here is my two classmates, one is Zhu Ran and the other is Hu Zong. Let's go find them."
The three of them walked all the way to the office building and walked into an office called "Training Room". When Zhu Ran saw that it was Sun Quan coming, he immediately stood at attention and saluted Sun Quan and shouted: "Swear to be loyal to my Lord Sun Quan!" The others immediately stood at attention and saluted Sun Quan and shouted: "Swear to be loyal to my Lord Sun Quan!" Although there were only five or six people in the training room, the shouts were all neat and imposing, and the excitement of seeing Sun Quan in everyone's eyes.
Sun Quan immediately stood at attention and replied to everyone, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work!" After Sun Quan put down his hand, everyone let go of his hand. Sun Quan turned around and explained: "This is my newly designed military ritual! You two must learn it in the future, so you will follow this etiquette in the army. Of course, it is just our newly trained army, and the old army is still the same rule for the time being."
"It's been hard for everyone to train troops. I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you practicing troops?" Sun Quan ignored Lu Su and the others, and first asked Zhu Ran about the progress of training: "Yifeng, report to me and report to everyone else, and go and do everything else."
"Swear to be loyal to my lord Sun Quan!" The other people immediately saluted and walked out.
"Lord, after this month of training, these recruits have basically become familiar with the queue and marching. They have initially gained a sense of teamwork and cooperation, and ideological education has also been initially completed. However, the progress of literacy is a bit slow. In addition, we don't have enough meat, so everyone's physical fitness is a little unable to keep up." Zhu Ran said.
"I will ask someone to allocate another sum of money to you. After a while, after the pigs and sheep in the breeding base I built can be eaten, the problem will basically be solved. These all take time. If everyone's physical fitness is not good, we will first reduce some physical fitness training and conduct more ideological education and literacy training."
"Okay, lord, I will definitely follow up and control it."
"Well, Yifeng, I believe your ability. Today I come here, mainly to bring these two people to familiarize themselves with some of the things in our martial arts lecture hall training and propaganda. Let me introduce to you first: Lu Su's name is Zijing, and Zhuge Jin is Ziyu. These two are both great talents and will arrange for them to conquer Shanyue, and they will train the same army as ours in Shanyue, so they need to select people here and be familiar with the situation here. When you call Weize, you will come here, and the talents and methods needed for Shanyue's governance need to be provided by him."
"I understand, lord, I'll call Weize to come over and we are communicating together."
"Well, Zijing, Ziyu, you two will be here for the time being. Wei Ze communicates well with Yifeng, and then chooses a regiment's army and the talents needed to manage a county. The talents for this governance must be calculated as three times, one forehand and two deputy officers, so that when our place expands, we can transfer the deputy to the new county town to govern. I will go to another place first, and you two are ready before repaying me."
"Yes" Lu Su and Zhuge Jin said yes according to the previous rules and politely. Zhu Ran gave a military salute and shouted: "Swear to be loyal to our Lord Sun Quan!"
After returning the gift, Sun Quan walked out and took his personal guard to the Weapon Research Office of the Military Academy for a walk, inspected the operation of the local blast furnace and assembly line, and went to the Military Medical Department to express condolences, and told everyone to work hard to innovate and develop more and better ways to cure trauma. The Propaganda Department, which Hu Zong was in charge, did not go there. After going there, he couldn't get out for a long time, but there was another place he had to go, which was the most secretive poster.
The Ministry of Justice trained here are spies and special forces. Sun Quan himself did not understand spy training and special forces, so he chose two of the most thoughtful people in the army to take charge. One was Yang Ping, who was responsible for spy training. Yang Ping was smart and naughty since he was a child and had a lot of ideas about spying news. The other was Chen Nian, who was responsible for special forces training. Chen Nian was born in a hunter, agile, smart and insightful, and had a bit of the temperament of a modern special forces soldier. Sun Quan took a look at it at first sight.
"Aping, how are you training now? What are your plans to form an intelligence network?"
"Lord, I have already made a preliminary plan to build brothels and taverns in various places to collect and transfer information. Most people will be more relaxed when drinking and playing with women, and they are prone to reveal secrets."
"It's great. Brothels and taverns can also gather funds. So what arrangements are there for intelligence transmission and development of intelligence personnel?"
"I am going to implement a single-line contact for information transmission, and pass it according to the password you taught by the lord, and the password will be changed regularly. We are concentrated in brothels and taverns, and then we go to the mansions to develop their servants or arrange for our own people to lurk in."
"Very good. We have arranged the personnel one after another. We have been training for more than three months, and it is basically enough. Let everyone learn and grow in actual combat. Establish an institution called Jinyiwei. On the surface, we are responsible for the security work around me, but in fact we are responsible for the collection of intelligence. Aping, you are my first Jinyiwei commander, and A Nian is the deputy commander. Jinyiwei is divided into secret guards and Mingwei. A Ping is responsible for the secret guards and Mingwei. The secret guards are responsible for intelligence collection, and Mingwei is responsible for the security work around me."
"Yes, lord, my subordinates make arrangements immediately." Chen Nian knew the importance of security work.
"Well, A Nian, as the deputy commander, you are mainly responsible for training new people. The security work is selected by you and left to A Ping to arrange. The selected personnel must be rotated every month, guarding for one month and then back to train for one month. Except for when I go out or during war, A Ping will spend more time with me, one should organize and analyze information for me, and the other should also arrange the specific matters of the security. You two make a charter and start implementing it from today. Then, if there are any problems or inappropriate places, you must summarize and correct them at any time."
"Yes, lord, I will be loyal to Sun Quan when I die!" the two responded together.
