Attention, at ease, right turn, about turn...
Each command is very simple and clear, yet it carries an unquestionable tone.
Once the soldiers are used to following orders, even if there is a fire pit ahead, they will jump in without hesitation as long as Li Jue gives the order!
Li Jing was a military strategist himself, so he was no stranger to such training methods. But such a simple training method, which contained profound military principles, was something he had never heard of or seen before.
"Boy, is this the technique you learned in your dream?"
I guess so...
What does "consider" mean?
"I forgot where I learned it, but whenever I thought about training militia, this method just came to me without any instruction..."
"Elder Mu, is this method feasible?"
"This method is excellent; it is truly the simplest of truths, the most refined of all!"
"If you continue training, these three hundred men from Sanglin Village will definitely become an elite force!"
"I dare not even think about elite troops; I only hope they can protect our homeland!"
Li Jing was already used to Li Jue's humility, and he also noticed the problem with the boy; he always seemed to lack confidence.
Of course, this may also be related to the child's awkward identity.
It is estimated that only when His Majesty re-recognizes the child will the child regain his confidence.
"Li Zhong, heed my command!"
"ah?"
"Old Mu, are you talking to me?"
"Otherwise, is there someone among them named Li Zhong?"
"without……"
"Aren't you in charge of the imperial clan? What orders can you give me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing immediately realized that the child had misunderstood and quickly began to explain.
"There's a transfer order from the Ministry of War!"
"Ministry of War?"
"Yes, your grandfather asked someone to petition the Ministry of War, planning to establish a military headquarters in your Sanglin Village and recruit 1,200 soldiers from Xianyang County!"
"ah?"
Li Jue never expected happiness to come so suddenly. He had only tentatively asked Old Li to throw him into the Sixteenth Guard as a lowly soldier.
I never expected Old Li to have such great influence; he actually built a Zhechong Mansion in his own Sanglin Village!
"Elder Mu, what am I doing in the General's Office?"
"Should I be the squad leader, or the fire chief?"
Although Li Jue had not been in the Tang Dynasty for long, as a military enthusiast, he had already figured out the structure of the Tang Dynasty's military force.
The Zhechongfu (military command post) of the Tang Dynasty was divided into three grades: upper, middle, and lower. The upper grade had 1,200 soldiers, the middle grade had 1,000 soldiers, and the lower grade had 800 soldiers. All soldiers in the Zhechongfu were collectively called Weishi (guardians), which meant those who protected the country and its people. It was a very prestigious position and not just anyone could hold it.
The Zhechong Prefecture has one Zhechong Commandant, one Left and one Right Guoyi Commandant, and one each of the following: General, Chief Clerk, Military Advisor, and Military Officer.
Li Jue was self-aware enough to know that he was definitely not eligible for any official positions with ranks.
He only hoped to become a junior officer, such as a brigade commander in charge of three hundred men, or a platoon leader in charge of fifty men, or at the very least a fire sergeant, otherwise he would really become a common soldier!
"You're neither the squad leader nor the fire chief!"
Li Jue was secretly delighted upon hearing this, wondering if he was going to become a brigade commander.
"Are you suggesting I become a brigade commander?"
When Li Jue saw Elder Mu shake his head again, his heart sank to rock bottom.
"Old Mu, you're not going to just make me a common soldier, are you?"
"you guess?
"I...I bet you're kidding me!"
