I want to ruin the country

But it is different for the bald troops who do not pay attention to ideological work.

When led by officials, their fighting power is also very terrifying. It can be seen from the Battle of Sihang Warehouse and the bloody battle of Taierzhuang that they are also men of blood!

But as long as the chief officer is gone, their combat effectiveness will at least drop by half, and they will be defeated in one blow when encountering the enemy! The reason is that they don’t know who they are fighting for!

Therefore, knowing for whom to fight is the soul of the army, and the importance of ideological work is self-evident!

Yining wrote a training outline based on the training methods of special forces in later generations, which he had seen in movies and TV dramas.

He especially likes watching TV dramas and movies about special forces from all over the world, and now he has put it to use!

He pieced together some of the training details from memory and wrote them down.

If you ask him to do it, he won't be able to do it, but he can write it down, and setting standards is almost the same!

The key is that no one knows whether it is right or wrong, so what he says is the standard and it is right!

He used everything he could think of, such as counting, standing at attention, five-kilometer and ten-kilometer cross-country races, free fighting, capturing prisoners, and lurking.

Although it's just copying, it's much more advanced than the current training methods!

On the first day of training, Luo Shixin asked the soldiers to line up, count, stand at attention and at ease, and then stand at arm's length. This was also taught by Yining.

Yining personally gave these soldiers a lecture.

"Your name is the Special Forces Company, and your branch of the military is called Special Forces.

You are all carefully selected by me, and you are all people with real abilities.

Your company commander now is Luo Shixin, and his rank is sixth grade.

Your deputy company commander is of the seventh rank, the platoon leader is of the seventh rank, the squad leader is of the eighth rank, and the soldiers are divided into the ninth rank and the ninth rank.

You are all officials. Are you happy that you have been promoted?"

Everyone answered in unison,

"Happy!"

Yining smiled slightly.

"Don't be too happy too soon, because it's not certain whether you can continue to hold this position. At least twenty of you will have to be eliminated.

That is to say, only sixty people can stay in the end, and those who are eliminated can go back wherever they want.

If you disobey management, you will be expelled and sent home. You will never be hired again. Your descendants will also be implicated by you and will never be able to participate in the imperial examinations or serve in the army again!

Everyone was shocked. The consequences of expulsion were so serious that even their descendants could not join the army or become officials!

Yining said again,

"You are the first group of disciples of the Emperor. I hope you will cherish this honor and not let yourself be expelled. Do you understand?"

Everyone answered loudly,

"Understood!"

Yining Road,

"From today on, I will personally train you. Do you feel proud to be the emperor's disciples?"

"pride!"

Yining Road,

"I have high hopes for you. You are the seeds of the new army. Once you have learned your skills, you will all become instructors and train them to be as good soldiers as you are. I hope you will not let me down!"

Luo Shixin took the lead and shouted,

"I will definitely not let His Majesty down!"

Yining continued

"The training will be very hard and tiring, and you may even get hurt. Are you afraid of the hardship?"

"Not afraid!"

“Do you have the confidence to complete the training?”

"Have!"

"The sound is too quiet, I can't hear it!"

The soldiers' deafening voices rang out,

"Have!"

Yining praised,

"Alright, my soldiers must possess this kind of overwhelming aura! Now, let me tell you what I require of you!"

Luo Shidao believes,

"Your Majesty, please issue an order!"

Yining Road,

"My soldiers must first observe military discipline. This is the most important rule. Can everyone follow my orders?"

"can!"

Yining roared,

"louder please!"

"can!"

Yining Road,

"I don't want a soldier who doesn't follow military discipline, no matter how capable he is!

Everyone must remember that if you violate military discipline, you could be punished or even beheaded. Don't take any chances!

"remember!"

Yining Road,

"My requirement for you is not only to be loyal to the emperor, but also to love the people!

That is to say, in your heart, the interests of ordinary people are above everything else!"

Yao Gang was puzzled and raised his hand.

Yining asked,

"What do you want to ask?"

Yao Gang asked,

"Hurray, what does it mean that the interests of the common people are above all else?"

Yining Road,

"That's a good question. Let's put it this way: what we eat and wear comes from the people, so we shouldn't think we are superior to the people. They are our parents who provide us with food and clothing!

Please remember, anyone who bullies ordinary people is bullying their own parents. If someone bullies your parents, will you tolerate it? "

Everyone shouted,

"will not!"

Yining roared again,

"If someone bullies me, will you tolerate it?"

"will not!"

Yining Road,

"Very good! Everyone, remember this, and make sure your soldiers remember this: we are the people's soldiers. We fight for the people, not to serve corrupt officials, local tyrants, and evil gentry. Do you understand?"

The soldiers were all shocked. Why did the emperor hold the common people so high?

Yining Road,

"Okay, I will explain to you gradually why we should fight for the people later!

Now I ask you to accept your first task, remove your braids and shave your heads!"

The soldiers were shocked. The emperor actually asked them to remove their braids. Did they hear it right?

This braid has been around for hundreds of years. It is the symbol of the Manchu people and a heritage. Is the emperor crazy?

Yining knew that just talking them into accepting shaving their heads wouldn't solve the problem, even if he was the emperor. He had to use facts to speak for himself!

Luo Shixin placed a hairy sheep's head on the table, then fired a shot at the side of the sheep's head with a musket. The sheep's head started burning, and soon the head was burned beyond recognition.

Yining Road,

"Soldiers, you see, this shot didn't hit the sheep's head, but it still got hit. Why? Because of the hair!

In the future, wars will be fought with a lot of firearms. If your hair gets burned, it will be very difficult to put out the fire. If your hair is burned, how can you be safe?"

The soldiers lowered their heads and said nothing. What the emperor said was right, they could understand, but they had braids on their heads since birth, could they just shave them off? Wasn't that what their ancestors asked them to keep?

Not to mention that most of them are Manchus, even for the Han people, after more than two hundred years, wearing braids has long been deeply integrated into their blood.

This is why the emperor said to shave your braids. If it were someone else, it would be strange if they didn’t pick up a 40-meter-long sword and chop you to pieces!

Yining knew what they were thinking and continued,

"Soldiers are born to fight, and injuries are inevitable in battle. If you get shot in the head by a bullet or an arrow, you have to shave your hair before you can apply medicine!

As we all know, time on the battlefield is of the essence and a delay may cost your life.

What’s more serious is that the inside of the hair is very dirty. If not handled properly, it may become infected, which can be fatal. So from this perspective, shaving your hair is a must!
