Chapter 30 Military Spirit
Luo Shixin was not surprised by the warm welcome of the generals. What convinced soldiers in the army is not wisdom, command, or affinity, but absolute strength. Especially in the warlike army, strength is the most convincing key.
The strong are always respected in the army.
The soldiers of the Twelve Guards were responsible for protecting the imperial city. Most of them were veterans who retired from the front line and had extraordinary strength and arrogance. To put it bluntly, it was a group of soldiers who made them fight, which was great, but letting someone who could not convince them command them and disobey them lip service, which was even more gangsters than (scattered) gangsters. If they were not careful, there was also the possibility of a mutiny.
The General of the Right Guard who took office was a second-generation official who was born in a nepotism. Because he could not show his decent ability, the group of soldiers led his nose and made a lot of jokes. In the end, he could not bear the pressure and applied to step down.
Luo Shixin is very different from this second-generation official. His martial arts began to be rumored as early as when he was fourteen years old. After joining the Tang army, he became a top general in the Tang Dynasty and was active on the forefront.
Many veterans in the Right Guard had seen Luo Shixin's performance on the battlefield with their own eyes, and even if most of them had never seen it, they had heard of it. When they learned that Luo Shixin was going to command them, the veterans had already started talking privately, and all expressed their desire to restrain their tempers, so as not to burn the three fires of the new official's appointment and let Luo Shixin teach them a lesson.
The confidence of veterans is to be strong, and when they encounter stronger ones, they will not be able to get rid of them.
Luo Shixin has the confidence to be recognized, and of course he has prepared three fires. If there are really people who are ungrateful, they don’t mind burning them.
But it is obvious that the group of friends from the Right Guard are still very friendly and welcome him with their actions.
If you don’t hit the smiling person, there is no need to burn these three fires.
Luo Shixin whispered loudly: "No need to say that the key to an army is combat effectiveness. Only an army with combat effectiveness can entrusted with important tasks and survive on the battlefield on the front line of life and death. You are all veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time, and I don't doubt your combat effectiveness at all."
The soldiers in the school were proudly holding their heads and chests. The veterans were indeed a title worthy of pride.
Only those who understand the cruelty of the battlefield know how difficult it is to be a veteran. Only those who have commanded the army know how important the power of a veteran is to play on the battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that a veteran can be at least ten new recruits on the battlefield.
Luo Shixin continued: "But what I want to say is: If you are satisfied with the status quo, then the next person who dies is likely to be you. Don't think that the Tang Dynasty is about to unify the world and you will be able to live a peaceful life. Turks, the enemy of my Chinese people for generations, are always coveting and peeping at our homeland. You should all hear about their strength and cruelty. Sooner or later, we will face them. At that time, we will not only be the ones who will be defeated and die, but even our families behind us will be slaughtered."
When Luo Shixin said this, many soldiers' eyes turned red and their sadness was on their faces.
The reason why Luo Shixin chose the Turks was because most of the soldiers of Li Tang came from Guanzhong, Taiyuan, Jinyang and Western Qin. These places were all places involved in the Turkish military fronts, and were plundered by the Turks for many years. The local people had a deep hatred for the Turks.
Someone immediately shouted in the crowd: "It's better that the Turkic dog is coming, I just happened to avenge my brother."
After he shouted, the school was bustling with people from the audience, and they were filled with the same hatred of the enemy.
Luo Shixin whispered loudly: "The Turks are very strong, and this must be admitted. To defeat them, you can only become stronger. Next, I will arrange for you to undergo rigorous training to make you stronger. Only when you are stronger can you make your family live a better life, make your children and grandchildren proud of you, and don't let your family cry at your corpse."
Luo Shixin told Xue Yong in detail about the training method and asked him to arrange it.
Xue Yong was also a person who knew the goods. After hearing Luo Shixin's reasonable and detailed training methods, his eyes lit up and he nodded constantly.
Luo Shixin's training method was naturally not his work. Although Luo Shixin has read a lot of military books recently and spent time learning military tactics and understanding military affairs, he is a beginner after all, and the results are not so ideal. He cannot come up with a reasonable training method in a short period of time. The training during military training in later generations may not be applicable in ancient times. However, he wins in his ability to take advantage of opportunities. The most powerful soldier in the early Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly the Xuanjia Soldier under Li Shimin, and the commanders of the Xuanjia Soldier were Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun.
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin had a life-long friendship, and they had already drawn up the training method of Xuanjia Soldiers from them. According to the training mode of Xuanjia Soldiers, Luo Shixin followed the steps, reduced the weight and added some of his own things, thus forming a new training method.
When the soldiers were trained according to the new training system, Luo Shixin was not idle either. He practiced with the soldiers, and the training intensity was only higher than that of everyone.
When it was time to eat, according to the rules, Luo Shixin had a small kitchen, but he closed the kitchen and had a meal with the generals.
After training and having dinner together, Luo Shixin got into a group with his soldiers in just a few days. The soldiers of the Right Guard gradually changed from the beginning to respect, convincing and loving respect.
This is how people get along with each other, and they gain as much effort as they pay.
Luo Shixin has already grasped the morale of this army.
After understanding the mechanism of the Right Guard, Luo Shixin also inserted Mo Hu'er into the military camp as a primary school.
He was like a workaholic, dealing with matters day and night at the Youxiaowei official residence, eating, sitting and sleeping in the official residence.
This situation is so urgent that Yin Ah Shuo is in trouble.
The thing he asked Luo Shixin to teach his lesson seemed to spread throughout Chang'an. Several places he often went to discussed this matter behind his back.
Yin A-Shu was already inferior and extreme, and felt that these discussions were full of ridicule for his incompetence. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to go out of the door, and repeatedly urged Feng De.
Feng De was also helpless. Luo Shixin lived in the Youxiao Guard's official residence. What could he do? According to Tang Ru: The Youxiao Guard's official residence is like a military camp. Trespassing into the official residence is like trespassing into the military camp. Giving Feng De ten courage he dared not force himself. He could only face pressure and let someone stare near the Youxiao Guard's official residence.
"General, there are three or four suspicious people outside!" Mo Hu'er came back mysteriously to report.
