That's it, in the open-air classroom of William's junior officer crash course or intermediate literacy class. otbnkotgt The understanding of his reserve officers was very limited.
The best ones selected from the grenadiers are stupid, while the guys selected from the private cavalry are incapable of turning around.
They have received traditional cavalry tactics education for more than ten years, and their understanding of modern warfare is very shallow.
Therefore, if you want to change their concept, just a few days will not be enough.
That's it, William talked endlessly on the stage, but off the stage, although no one dared to sleep, take a nap, or look elsewhere.
But there are many people who are in a daze and stupidity.
These people may not really want to learn well.
Who would be so stupid?
There are officers who don’t just serve as soldiers.
But the problem is that they can't understand what William said.
If William takes the military drills compiled by his mind reading ability to the regular army or generals of any big country, they will definitely be shocked.
Those who are really knowledgeable will have to kneel down to William after spending two minutes reading the introduction.
When they finish reading the entire book, they will hold William's lap and cry loudly.
It's just a pity that what William is facing now is not the leading military talents of this era, but a group of semi-literate people who have just learned to write their own names, and the average number of words they know is around a hundred.
Therefore, it is very, very difficult for William to teach these guys.
It can be said that it is not an ordinary hardship.
He almost vomited from the exertion.
William was very helpless.
Originally, according to the formal military process, it would take at least ten years to train a junior officer, from receiving general primary education to education at the non-commissioned officer academy.
As for William, it was naturally impossible for him to wait ten years to do such a thing.
But the problem is, his crash course has had little effect so far.
As for the literacy subject, the Gothic script of this era is alphabetic.
Naturally, he cannot be like some people and rely on cheating things like Chinese Pinyin to speed up the progress of literacy.
In fact, in terms of results, "literacy" "This direction is already the fastest in the officer crash course.
Unfortunately, it's still not fast enough.
Things only changed after William changed his teaching policy towards Shalomi in recent days.
William put much more effort into Shalumi than those junior officers.
Therefore, I naturally think a lot about Shalumi's problem.
From here to there.
His attitude towards these instant officers naturally changed.
Regarding the fact that these reserve officers were tired of studying to varying degrees, William also got the answer from Shalumi.
This reminded him of a fable he had read in his previous life.
That is an interesting story recorded in Zhuangzi's outer chapter Da Sheng: In the past, a bird stopped in the suburbs of Lu.
The king of Lu said that it was too fast to eat, and he played Jiushao to enjoy it.
The bird began to look sad and dazzled. , dare not eat or drink.
This is called raising birds by raising oneself.
If you are raising birds, you should live in deep forests, float in rivers and lakes, feed on snakes, and then it will be just a flat land.
Once upon a time, a seabird flew to the outskirts of the capital of the state of Lu.
The king of the state of Lu liked it very much.
He entertained it with a banquet and played Jiushao music to make it happy.
The seabird was so sad and dazzled that it did not dare to eat or drink.
This is called raising birds according to their own living habits.
If you raise a bird according to its habits, it should be allowed to inhabit deep woods, float in rivers and lakes, and eat loaches and small fish.
This is a very common principle.
William felt that this incident could well explain what he was encountering now.

He is now like the king of Lu, and now these semi-literate reserve officers he teaches are like that seabird.
Since they are all idiots with insufficient foundation and limited abilities, then you should not continue to read textbooks in a reading voice.
It's better to do it in a simple and crude way, which is like this: "You bastards, remember it for me.
No matter what method you use, whether it is rote memorization, or whether you are hanging on your head and stabbing your buttocks, you must firmly remember everything I teach you.
Write it down word for word."
If you don’t come down, you’ll feel better.”
William shouted loudly to his students.
The students, on the other hand, nodded hurriedly like two chickens pecking at rice.
After several former cavalrymen who were dissatisfied with William's corporal punishment, which was disguised corporal punishment, and thus made a fuss, were knocked down one by one by William's punch, they were knocked down one by one.
He is as honest as a grandson.
Yes yes that's it.
The way William now trains these quick officers is almost the same as the way he trains soldiers.
Basically just follow the old simple and crude way.
No more blackboard and chalk textbooks.
Just teach them the most basic tactics and queue applications the way masters taught their disciples in the old days, orally.
Then they are asked to repeat and learn by rote.
If you can't memorize it, you'll be beaten to death.
Under William's "hard work" and "teaching", the officers in the crash course are making rapid progress.
And this progress was quickly displayed after the "goods" brought by businessman John arrived in April.
A total of two thousand New Army soldiers who had been selected, under the "very hard" "training" of the officers, quickly formed combat effectiveness.
They were beaten during the formation training, which was better than their predecessors, that is, The two hundred reserve soldiers trained by William were only a few more.
William was surprised to find that a "strange" or somewhat terrifying phenomenon occurred in his army.
He was hammering and squeezing those officers.
The officers had nowhere to vent their grievances, so they went down to suppress the soldiers.
Fortunately, these soldiers have no intention of resisting yet.
Or the intention to resist.
Just because they're so weak, and at the same time, they're perfectly happy with where they are.
The refugees who were chosen by William to become soldiers now enjoy much improved benefits, which are also equal to those of their senior reserve soldiers.
That is to say, I can eat enough.
In such an era, "having enough to eat" has great appeal to the vast majority of civilians.
Not to mention the refugees who have just had enough of the hardship of not having food.
The vast majority of the refugee soldiers cherished their opportunity to be beaten, trained hard and fed.
Most of the refugee soldiers felt that this deal was worth it.
Moreover, the officers who received William's "true biography" also possessed his "unique skill" of being able to hit people to the point of severe pain, but without leaving any injuries.
The refugee soldiers were really injured and none were killed.
This was also a fatal order given by William to the officers of his crash course.
And the so-called death order means that whoever cannot do it must die.
The reserve officers believed William's words very much.
This is the conclusion given by William through whips and fists.
In this way, in a very short period of time, William had a team of officers who relied on rote memorization, had slow reactions, backward tactics, rigid minds, and were only qualified to serve as low-level infantry officers.
At the same time, he also relied on corporal punishment and eating well to train a new army with a tough style, numb mind and malnutrition.
This army completed basic formation training and training in the use of flintlock muskets in less than two months.
At the same time, bayonet training was basically completed.
Of course, only a few of the more savvy soldiers have learned something as advanced as bayonet technique.
Most of the other soldiers have only practiced one thrust.

But William felt that this was enough.
What he demands from his soldiers is more morale than skill, and more obedience than morale.
Relying on rigorous training again and again, as well as whipping and corporal punishment.
The soldiers basically formed a conditioned reflex.
They can march towards the river as described in some novels.
If there is no order from the officer, they will continue to move forward.
Until it was swallowed by the sea.
They can also act as if they have no feelings of pain or fear.
Faced with a spear, a scimitar, a long sword, a lance or something else thrust towards him from the opposite side, his expression remained unchanged.
At the same time complete the action of "thrusting".
This ensures that on the battlefield, when they engage in hand-to-hand melee combat, using bayonets and guns, they can die together with the vast majority of enemies.
At present, this is what William demands the most from them.
Of course, William also believed that things would never reach that point, at least not on this battlefield, when facing enemies of this level.
He spent so much energy and effort on his army.
And so much money.
How could he allow his army to become a scum that would die together with other armies?
William believed that given the quality of the enemy he would face, one-half of the enemy would collapse with just one shot from his New Army artillery.
The remaining enemy, after three rounds of musket fire, had to collapse by half.
If a bayonet charge is launched later, the last half will definitely fall apart quickly.
Yes yes, that's it.
Although William was not sure, his army could achieve zero casualties without losing a single person.
But sometimes, it is not impossible to achieve more "non-combat attrition" than "combat attrition" For example, the Battle of Baliqiao between the British and French allied forces vs.
Seng Gelinqin's Mongolian cavalry.
