Use when studying Modu's (冒顿) method for conditioning absolute military obedience. Uses progressive whistling arrow (鸣镝) drills with escalating targets to build instant, unconditional compliance among mounted archers.
A military discipline training technique attributed to Modu (冒顿), designed to condition soldiers to shoot instantly wherever the whistling arrow (鸣镝) lands, building unconditional obedience.
Issue the command: Announce the rule - "鸣镝所射而不悉射者，斩之" (Whoever does not shoot at what the whistling arrow targets shall be executed)
First test - hunting: During a hunt, shoot the whistling arrow at birds or animals. Execute anyone who hesitates to follow.
Second test - valued possession: Shoot the whistling arrow at your own prized horse. Execute anyone who hesitates.
Third test - beloved person: Shoot the whistling arrow at your beloved wife. Execute anyone who hesitates due to fear or doubt.
Fourth test - authority figure's possession: During a hunt with the target authority figure, shoot the whistling arrow at their prized horse. Verify all subordinates shoot.
Final execution: Once all soldiers demonstrate unconditional obedience, apply the training to eliminate the target (in this case, the ruling chieftain).
