Chapter 308: The first step in troop training, troop selection

The wooden carpenter was given ten catties of food. The wooden carpenter received the ten catties of food and left excitedly. The atmosphere in the camp reached its climax.

In both cases, a lot of food was received.

One said to use the door panel to pad the floor, the other said to turn the car over to pad the floor.

This is not difficult, nor is it difficult to think about.

Seeing that everyone else had received their food, the craftsmen worked harder to use their brains.

However, carpenters may be familiar with carpentry work, but suggesting ideas is very unfamiliar to them. Therefore, no third person has come forward to express even a few ideas.

Li Mengxi's eyes wandered around, and here, with his keen ears, he heard the two heartless carpenters whispering in a sour tone, "Can the pallet truck be used? Come on, don't look at whether there are cars in our camp or not. There are no cars. Use them."

A shovel..."

Li Mengxi heard it and thought it made sense.

This is also a good idea, about the distribution of pallets and trucks.

After the carts are finished, they can be replenished to the carpenter's camp first and then sent to the baggage team without haste.

Li Mengxi, who was thinking carefully and rationally, looked in that direction. He saw two people in the crowd who didn't think much about it and were muttering randomly.

"You, come out." Li Mengxi pointed at one person and asked him to come out.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

The carpenter who was pointed out tried to hide inside, but was stared at by Li Mengxi. He was too embarrassed to hide, so he had to lower his head and come out.

Li Mengxi looked at this person and said, "Tell me, what did you just say?"

"I...what did I say?" The carpenter lowered his head and looked at his feet without raising his head.

"Our craftsman camp has made pallet trucks. Originally, I thought that if the baggage team is short of trucks, the trucks should be sent to the baggage team first."

"You were muttering there that you could turn over the car and use it as a door panel, but there aren't many cars in the camp, so you can't use it."

"This reminds me." Li Mengxi said, looking at the carpenter who lowered his head, "After the cart is made, it is better to distribute it to your craftsman camp first. Your craftsman camp has to use the cart to pull the wood, and also pull the finished wooden pieces.

, and you have to turn the car over to use it as a table.”

"I need your reminder, and I have another method.

This method can be called the cart allocation method."

"Everyone," Li Mengxi changed his voice and said to the carpenters, "If this person doesn't remind me, then I will send the car to the baggage team. By then, your carpenter camp will not be able to send the car if there is no car.

If you turn it over and use it as a table, you won't be able to plan the wood properly."

"Think about it, is this true?"

The carpenters all nodded.

"So, should I reward this person?" Li Mengxi pointed to the carpenter next to him.

The carpenters all said that they should be rewarded.

At this time, the carpenter who was originally embarrassed by being called out by Li Mengxi suddenly changed his mood when he heard that he still had food, and his face was full of surprise.

Li Mengxi turned to look at this person and smiled, "If you say it yourself, it's worth twenty kilograms of grain.

But I asked you to ask.

It’s worth fifteen kilograms of grain.”

"Lu Li, get the grain." The carpenter went to Lu Li to collect the grain. Li Mengxi looked back at everyone and said, "So, if you have any ideas, just say it. Even if it's not that, then

No piece of meat will be lost. If what you said is true, wouldn't you just take the grain?"

Li Mengxi continued to encourage.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mengxi ordered the disbandment and told everyone in the craft camp to remember to tell Lu Li if they had any good ideas in the future.

The carpenters dispersed and went about their business, and then Li Mengxi walked towards Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu waited for Li Mengxi to approach with smiles on their faces.

Guan Yu and Liu Bei asked what Li Mengxi had just said to the carpenters. It was so lively that Li Mengxi told the two of them about the "salary" system of the craftsmen, the incentive method, and the ideas the carpenters had come up with.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, admiring Li Mengxi's arrangement.

Especially at the end, the three methods proposed by the craftsmen are: first, you have to buy door panels; second, the car can be turned over and used as door panels; third, the car must be distributed to the carpenter camp first. These three points are all insights.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "If you make one mistake every day, Xi'er, you can't do more than make one mistake. You alone are just like me and Yunchang!"

Liu Bei's eyes were full of satisfaction.

"What the hell!" Li Mengxi chuckled, "It was what the craftsmen thought, what does it have to do with me?"

This is interesting to say. Although the craftsmen thought of it, it was not Li Mengxi who could realize the potential of the craftsmen.

Being able to know and employ people, and being able to listen to discussions at the same time are also Li Mengxi's abilities.

When Li Mengxi pointed to the new car parked there and said that it was the first car made by the carpenter camp, Liu Bei and Guan Yu curiously walked over and looked around the cart.

"To make this cart, excluding the wood, I have to give fifty kilograms of grain to the carpenters. Is this a lot?" Li Mengxi asked.

"No more, no more, this is less!" Liu Bei waved his hand.

For fifty kilograms of grain, exchange it for a sturdy cart. The cart is as cheap as the one you picked up.

After looking at the car, Guan Yu looked around and looked at Li Mengxi, joking, "Xi'er, the car is ready. When will the carrying gear you mentioned be ready?"

Guan Yu is here to speed up the progress.

"Oh!" Li Mengxi was stunned. He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about the carrying gear!

Carrying equipment includes backpacks, baskets, defenses, bindings, etc.

Li Mengxi was about to find a carpenter to make carrying tools. Guan Yu pulled Li Mengxi and said, "Xi'er, it's not too late to do it tomorrow."

"Practice troops tonight, take advantage of the daylight and start early."

When Guan Yu said this, Li Mengxi remembered again that he still had to train his troops.

When talking about military training, Li Mengxi looked around and found that he had no clue about training, manpower, or regulations.

Judging from Liu Bei and Guan Yu's appearance, they didn't intend to interfere. They were really relieved.

Moreover, there is no manpower now, so we have to select people.

Regarding training, what Li Mengxi is most familiar with and accustomed to is the training method used in military training in middle and high school in his previous life, such as standing, turning, standing in a military posture, more complex ones, turning while walking, etc.

During the military training at that time, the young instructor said that what I feared the most was standing in a military posture for two hours. After being ordered to disband, my legs would no longer be able to walk.

Standing in a military posture is the most disciplined test. It requires you to stand like a gun and not move at all. Even if a bomb falls from the sky and hits your head. If you don't budge, you have to be nailed to the ground and you will not be able to move until you die. This is called iron discipline.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In ancient times, when famous generals were judged, good military training was an important indicator of a general's ability.

Li Mengxi didn't dare to say that he fully understood other tactics and tactics. Li Mengxi didn't know how to practice crossbows and cavalry, but he was somewhat confident about how to quickly cultivate the discipline of civilians.

Just look for fifty, no, fifty is too many, just look for forty, and train the queue today.

Thinking about this, Li Mengxi turned around and invited Liu Bei and Guan Yu to go to the civilian camp with him.

Soon after, Li Mengxi arrived at the Minfu Camp. There were many people in the Minfu Camp, and there were people everywhere. There were soldiers cooking, some civilians were setting up tents, some were laying bedding on the spot, and more people were using

Knit straw sandals.

Li Mengxi glanced around and saw all kinds of people in the camp. The civilian husbands were a complex staff, including men, women, old, and young. The children were arranged to go to the women's and children's camp.

After all, what kind of civilian husband is suitable for training? Li Mengxi looked at the people in Wuyangyang, and he was in trouble at the first step.

Under the historical conditions of the classical era, ready-made experiences for reference include: General Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty went to the southeast coast to fight against the Japanese. When he passed by Yiwu, Zhejiang, he saw two groups of miners fighting, with thousands of people participating on both sides.

The spectacular momentum and fierce fighting shocked Qi Jiguang.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang recruited miners to train his troops, and this became the famous Qi Family Army in the future.

Later scholars analyzed that mining is intensive work, and the production methods of miners determine that miners have higher discipline and organizational requirements than other small-scale manual production.

When digging a mine, hundreds of people worked together. Without proper coordination and organization, the mine collapsed and hundreds of people died.

Therefore, in the classical era, miners who were organized, disciplined, and physically able to endure hardships were extremely excellent soldiers.

Then just find a miner, Li Mengxi thought.

Also, when General Qi Jiguang was selecting troops, he said that he did not want smooth people from urban and rural areas, he did not want veterans who were oily, he did not want city people who were used to government officials, and he did not want those with fair faces, thin skin and tender flesh.

The citizen class in the classical era was more cunning than the peasants. This is by no means an insult, but is determined by its social foundation.

The citizen class is not engaged in agricultural production, most of them are involved in commerce. The citizens either open shops or sell things on the streets. As the saying goes, there is no businessman without a thief. The citizens are mostly engaged in business-related work, so the citizen class is not as honest as the country people.

.

The citizens don't want it, the citizens are cunning; they don't want those who have been soldiers for many years. They are veterans and are used to seeing life and death. The affairs in the army are clean and they lack some respect. Moreover, there are really old soldiers in the civilian camp, and they have been picked off by Guan Yu.

, where will there be any left? People who are accustomed to the government, nodding and bending, good at maneuvering, too smart, don't want them; people with thin skin and tender flesh, who come from rich families, have never endured hardship, and have weak will, so they don't want them.

General Qi Jiguang's method of selecting troops has some truth to it. Although it is not entirely correct due to the limitations of the times, it is sufficient for current military selection purposes.

In other words, if you have miners, you need miners; if you can get countrymen, you don't need citizens; if you have black people, you don't need white people.

Li Mengxi took a look in front of the civilian camp. Many civilians were looking this way.

When his thoughts were mature, Li Mengxi waved to Liu Bei and said, "Come here." Li Mengxi looked mysterious and serious.

Li Mengxi was a child, only nine years old. His serious look made me laugh every time I saw him. Liu Bei smiled, bowed his head, and listened.
