"General Li, you are a general Xiaoqi, you must have a set of training methods, you might as well talk about it and discuss it!"
Li Kuan was a newcomer to the military training, and he did not hesitate to ask Li Xiaoyi. Li Xiaoyi also saw the sketch drawn by Li Kuan. The second monk was completely confused. Faced with Li Kuan's consultation, Li Xiaoyi told Li Xiaoyi without a trace of concealment.
Through Li Xiaoyi’s words, Li Kuan just realized that recruits also need to examine the skills of each person. For example, those who are superior can serve as the chief officer of Guide and deputy lieutenant of Rong. They are almost all awarded from the 9th rank, unless their fathers or ancestors have merits. Only then will they be specially awarded the eighth rank of Xuanjie Xiaowei Zheng. These are all powerful generals, and some casual official positions will also be awarded.
In ancient times, the only way to obtain military merit was through war. In this era, there are no exercises, competitions, rescues, etc., as in modern times. This also allows the Tang Dynasty to obtain military merit based on the number of enemies killed. During the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there was no restriction on the status of military merits, even slaves could obtain them as long as they made military merits on the battlefield.
Military merit is easy to obtain, but it is difficult to obtain military honors. Although the honourable officers have no positions and just add officers, many generals still hope to receive military honour awards. Because the honourable officers can join the official ranks and participate in politics, break away from the army and become military attachés. They are no longer generals who charge into battle, just like Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, Li Ji and so on.
The two armies competed with less victory, more than 40% of the beheading rank, it is a superior military merit, for example, from the 9th rank under the Guide halberd commander, he is directly promoted to the 9th rank upper Renyong deputy lieutenant; Even if they are equal, 20% of beheadings or captives are medium military merits and can be promoted to level 4.
The highest military merit can be promoted to five ranks, and the lowest is when the two armies fail in a confrontation or if their own troops are strong and win a tragic victory, they are also degraded, and even severely dismissed. As long as they kill enough and win, almost every soldier can obtain military merits of varying sizes. This is also the reason why people who want to get ahead, and some skilled people are willing to join the army, they are afraid that there will be no war if they are not afraid of war.
If there are frequent battles, the more military merits you gain, the faster you will be promoted. On the contrary, if you have no battles all year round, it will be more difficult to get promoted quickly. Unless you are appreciated and reused, the opportunities are rare and rare.
Li Kuan had a preliminary understanding of military merit, and he had a general idea of the Tang military system. There is almost no difference between the ancient training and the modern training. The difference is that joining the army in ancient times is very simple. You can join the army as long as you reach the age of fourteen. This also makes the physical fitness of soldiers in the army very different.
Since this era also needs to select suitable talents, Li Kuan recalled the training and selection of modern arms. The two have the same effect. Next, Li Kuan also knew what to do. It was late at night, and after everyone had dispersed, Li Kuan was aware of the results recorded today.
Xiaoqi General Li Xiaoyi couldn't remember everyone's name. There were too many people. Unless it was outstanding performance or excellent in all aspects, he would pay special attention. Everyone was treated equally and would not be treated differently.
The military has a strict hierarchical system, and the relationship between superiors and superiors is clear.
The next day, at the hour and minute, a piercing drum sounded in Xiaoqi Camp. After a while, soldiers from the Xiaoqi camp arrived in the schoolyard one after another.
"Give me an order, and those who did not arrive at the school grounds will be eliminated after a quarter of an hour after the sound of the morning drums!"
The school torch was lit, and the flickering light shone on the expressionless Li Kuan. No one thought he was joking. It is less than three months before the battle for command. Li Kuan must cherish every day. As for the training facilities, the training facilities have not yet been completed. According to Li Kuan’s guess, it is estimated to be about seven days. During this time, his training subjects are to improve everyone's physical fitness.
"From today on, every morning, regardless of wind or rain, or snow in the winter solstice, etc., in short, I will ring the morning drum from time to time. The moment the morning drum sounds, no matter what you are doing, it must be a quarter of an hour. Arrived here to gather."
Li Kuan glanced at those who were late. The first time he didn’t know the rules, he would not be punished. Otherwise, he would definitely not let him go. He let the late soldiers into the list, and then said: "After the assembly is complete, what you have to do Things are just the same as yesterday. Give me a circle around Xiaoqi Camp. Time is an hour. This is exercise before meals to help you digest and digest."
With an order from Li Kuan, the soldiers in the Xiaoqi camp had to run. Li Kuan walked in front of Li Dejian and Li Xiaoyi, and said, "General Li, the food problem will trouble you. The next training volume will increase, and the soldiers must be nourished. Keep up, the more fish and meat, the better. All expenses will be recorded by the military division when the time comes, and I will report it to your majesty."
Li Xiaoyi and Li Dejian nodded in agreement. They don’t know what the amount of training Li Kuan said was. However, according to the results of yesterday’s training, the bodies of these soldiers are almost stiff, and they really need to be trained more. Special personnel are responsible for the food issues in the military. However, Li Kuan specifically explained that Li Xiaoyi felt it necessary to take it seriously.
Afterwards, the two left the school and went to the room to learn about the situation.
At the same time, Li Kuan ran with the soldiers behind him. He himself hadn't exercised for a long time. After all, he had this opportunity, how could Li Kuan waste it. Qin Shandao and others took the lead, while behind Li Kuanze, everyone circled the wide school grounds. They didn't see Li Kuan and thought he was not there.
"This general is going to kill us!"
"Yeah! How can you go on like this!"
"Hey, I really don't know what is the meaning of this training?"
"Shhh!"
"Hush what hush, am I wrong?"
The soldiers who fished in troubled waters ran slowly behind. They complained in their hearts before. Now they get up early in the morning for a morning jog, which is really unacceptable. They are here to defend their home and the country and make meritorious deeds. They are not doing these unknown trainings without doing nothing.
As everyone knows, their complaints happened to be heard clearly by Li Kuan. Some people had already seen Li Kuan behind them and were shocked in a cold sweat. They wanted to be reminded but didn’t dare to blatantly. Finally, they hurriedly ran away. Li Kuan was shocked. He appeared behind him and said lightly: "It seems that the experience is very abundant, and there is also a leisurely and elegant chat. If this is the case, then you can add half an hour."
The soldier who complained before turned pale with fright. He didn't see Li Kuan before and thought he would go back to sleep by himself. He didn't expect that General Li Kuan would run with them today. Those who complained quickly shut their mouths for fear that they would take another half an hour.
The situation that Li Kuan followed was soon discovered. It was not that Li Kuan deliberately let them find out, but the soldiers at the back were reluctant to follow Li Kuan, and the speed naturally increased a lot. The soldiers before them suddenly felt strange, and when they looked back, they turned out to be the general.
As a result, an hour’s morning jog was completely turned into a chasing race. After yesterday’s adaptation, physical fitness has risen a lot, but unfortunately they can’t run for a long time. Someone can’t hold back and fall before half an hour. Li Kuan continued unhurriedly. Until the end. (End of this chapter)
