Chapter 36: The only Thing Is Fast Is Not Broken
Cao Tiancheng and Sun Xiao walked out. After a while, there were bursts of cheers from outside. Gao Yuan knew that it was Cao Tiancheng who was distributing new uniforms to the soldiers, a single piece of cotton, a total of two sets. These soldiers I don't know if I haven't made new clothes for a few years, but I'm so happy.
Walking to the edge of the window, pushing the sash open, the soldiers outside were happily holding their new clothes, jumping, jumping, chasing each other, smiling happily, and a smile appeared on the corners of their high mouths. These people are really easy to satisfy.
He closed the window, went back to the table and sat down. From the words of Cao Tiancheng and Sun Xiao, he learned a lot. In his opinion, these big-headed soldiers outside, who were useless, were not all what they looked like. As it appears, they may have been bloody and angry, maybe they joined the army not only to eat a meal, maybe, they also thought of revenge, but the cruel reality made their blood a little bit. , their anger as a man is also corroded in the icy passage of time, and in desperation, they have become a group of people who are useless, working as a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, not wanting or unwilling to think about what tomorrow will be like .
But now, I have come, maybe I can inspire those deeply hidden things in their hearts again, and let them live like a man again.
It was quiet outside, the soldiers all returned to the dormitory, it was time to try on their new clothes, Gao Yuan stood up, picked up the bowl of soup that had been drank, and walked out.
Throwing the soup bowl into the kitchen, listening to the faint laughter of the soldiers in the barracks, Gao Yuan walked over with his hands behind his back, the door was left ajar, he stood for a moment and pushed the door in.
Everyone in the room turned around and looked over at almost the same time. Sure enough, they were trying on new clothes. Most of them were standing naked on the pavement. When they saw Gao Yuan, they all froze. After a moment of silence, someone screamed strangely. , the two hands subconsciously covered the lower body, and more people hurriedly put on their pants.
Gao Yuan laughed, "I'm not a big girl, so I'm not ashamed." He strode over and stood in front of Yan Haibo. Yan Haibo was halfway through his pants, and he was pulling his pants up embarrassingly.
"Bing Cao!" Yan Haibo raised his head and looked at Gao Yuan, his face seemed to be crying and smiling, extremely wonderful, Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and patted his chest, "Yes, it's a bit fleshy at last, not like when I first came here, Every flank bone can be seen clearly, not like a living person, but like a skeleton."
Gao Yuan's friendly tone made the soldiers slowly let go of their fears and fears. For this soldier, the soldiers were both afraid and in love. What they were afraid of was that the soldier's skills were powerful and his martial arts were frightening. What they loved was since the soldier came. Then, for the first time in the world, all wages were paid, everyone was full, and dressed warmly. Apart from having less freedom and training every day, life became more and more comfortable.
"Since Bing Cao came, we can eat white noodle buns every day, we can eat fat meat, and drink broth. If we don't grow meat again, wouldn't we be sorry for the money Bing Cao spent for us?" Yan Haibo said carefully.
"Yes, yes, thank you Bing Cao, since I joined Bing Cao, my life has been more comfortable than any day I have ever had before!" There was a sound of reconciliation in the dormitory.
Gao Yuan smiled and looked at the soldiers' dormitory. Although the rubbish had been swept away, the quilts of the people were piled up in a mess on the pavement. He didn't make a sound. He walked to the pavilion and pulled over a bed of cotton wool. , slowly folded. This is the first day after he came to this barracks, after throwing away the rags of the soldiers, he asked Zhang Yi to buy a new one, but now it looks crumpled again.
Seeing Gao Yuan stacking cotton wool on his own, the dormitory gradually quieted down, and everyone was staring at Gao Yuan, especially Yan Haibo, whose face became the color of pig liver, because Gao Yuan was folding The quilt is his.
"Bing Cao, I, I'll do it myself!" Pulling up his pants, Yan Haibo said loudly.
Gao Yuan didn't answer, he slowly folded his quilt into a square tofu block, stretched out his hand to flatten it, wiped it with both hands, turned to move aside, and showed his achievements in front of everyone.
There was an exclamation in the dormitory.
"In the future, everyone's quilt must be folded like this." Gao Yuan said.
"Bing Cao, it's really nice to fold it like this, but it seems that it took too long!" Sun Xiao, who heard the movement from another dormitory, whispered, "The schedule is very tight in the morning, and the soldiers have a very tight schedule. We'll be running out of time."
"Does it take a long time?" Gao Yuan glanced at him with a smile, and pulled another quilt from the side. In the dazzling and exclamations of the crowd, in the blink of an eye, a boxy piece of tofu appeared in the in front of the crowd.
"The so-called "fast" is the practice of countless times!" Gao Yuan looked at the stunned crowd, "The same exercise, if you practice a thousand times, you can increase your speed several times, because every smallest detail in this movement You can understand everything in your mind, and you know how to deal with every possible accident."
Having said this, Gao Yuan paused, "All training is cancelled today, everyone stayed in the dormitory and practiced how to fold the quilt."
Everyone was stunned.
Gao Yuan waved his hand and walked out, saying as he walked, "This will be one of the subjects I will assess for you. If you don't meet the standard, I will deduct your salaries. Lao Cao, what are you doing here, don't prepare for me? buy something."
Cao Tiancheng glanced at Sun Xiao, but found that this guy was staring blankly at the piece of tofu that Gao Yuan had folded, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gao Yuancai no matter what they think, if an army wants to become a strong army, it must start from the smallest details. It seems that this stack of quilts has nothing to do with building a strong army, but it starts from the details. , but a series of concepts such as discipline can be cultivated in these soldiers.
Back at his residence, he took out the training plan that he had sorted out a few days ago, and was about to perfect some details, but Sun Xiao suddenly came in with a gust of wind.
"Bing Cao, I want to understand, I want to understand!" Sun Xiao seemed very excited and said in a loud voice.
"What do you want to understand?" Gao Yuan put down his pen and looked at each other thoughtfully.
"Countless times of practice!" Sun Xiao looked at Gao Yuan, "Bing Cao, if countless times of practice can make us fold the quilt quickly and well, then, through countless times of practice, can we swing the knife faster? We can stab faster, if we are fighting against the enemy, the opponent's knife has not been raised, our knife has fallen on his neck, does it mean that we are much stronger than them!"
With a snap, Gao Yuan clasped his palms together and laughed loudly.
"Bing Cao, did I say something wrong?" Sun Xiao's face fell, with a look of frustration.
"No, you are so right!" Gao Yuan glanced at him admiringly, "You are the first to think of this, to understand the deep meaning of what I said just now. In the world of martial arts, only fast is not broken. As long as If you are faster than others, you will win. The same movement of swinging a knife, if you are faster than others, others will only die, the same stabbing action, if you are faster than others, others will die!"
Gao Yuan stood up, walked a few steps in the room, looked at Sun Xiao, and said: "In an army, everyone does not need to practice martial arts, let alone those complicated moves, the knife is a block, Hacking, spear, is just a dang, an assassination, thousands of times of practice, practice makes perfect. Of course, this requires you to have a strong body and sufficient strength to complete this action, because Fast, which means you use more force per swing than others."
"So during this period of time, Bing Cao has been working on making everyone stronger and stronger." Sun Xiao suddenly realized.
"This is just the first step!" Gao Yuan shook his head, "The next step is endurance and reaction speed, but we can mix these things together to practice. Our soldiers are too weak, if we don't let them first When you are strong, everything is empty talk, strength is the foundation, and with strength, there is the rest, do you understand?"
"I understand. During this period of time, Bing Cao has made everyone's body stronger. The next step is to improve their endurance, which is what you call endurance. I understand the meaning of your training plan for the next ten days. already."
"Yes, Sun Xiao, you are very good and very smart, but I want to make literacy not a child's play. If you only want to be a leader in your life, then forget it. If you want to be a general, then , you must be literate.”
Sun Xiao smiled and said, "I don't want to think about the general. I think our county lieutenant is also a hero, but he is only a county lieutenant. General, only those nobles can serve as generals. People like our lieutenant governor of Western Liaoning County have a great view of the whole country. Yan, he is the only one. But Bing Cao asked me to learn to read, so I went to learn to read. I did it because Lord Bing Cao said something, not because I wanted to be a general, it was just a daydream."
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Sun Xiao, you have to be ambitious, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, why can't you be a general? The king and the general, I would rather have a seed, push forward a hundred years, two hundred years, or Farther back, are those nobles in Dayan already nobles, maybe they are the same as us now, or not as good as us?" Gao Yuan patted Sun Xiao on the shoulder and said.
