Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 145: Military training (1)

In the next few days, Zhao Chen, Li Gang, and Wang Shu have been discussing the appointment of officials! After experiencing the turmoil of "Zhi Keqiu", there was a lack of officials in the court. Except for the two prime ministers, Li Gang and Wang Shu, there is no Yushi Zhongcheng, no six Shangshu and Shi Lang! The gap between North Korea and China’s officials is too big and must be filled in a short period of time, otherwise the government will not function properly at all!

Zhao Chen originally had his own thoughts on the appointment of officials to the imperial court. He is determined to change the official system of the Song Dynasty, but all of this can only be implemented after the situation in Hanzhong is completely stabilized.

On the tenth day of June, Zhao Chen left Hanzhong City and brought a group of imperial soldiers and horses to the Forbidden Army!

Zhao Chen had just appeared at the door of the Forbidden Army. The soldiers of the Forbidden Army could not help but let out a burst of cheers. Countless soldiers of the Forbidden Army knelt to the ground to welcome Zhao Chen's arrival!

Zhao Chen only stayed in the Forbidden Army for a few days that day, but he left a deep impression on the soldiers! In these days, some people even look forward to Zhao Chen's coming again, and now everyone is excited to see Zhao Chen!

"Where is Yue Fei?" Zhao Chen asked loudly.

"General Yue is in the room over there!" A soldier pointed to the front.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he drove his horse towards there! After a while he got off the horse and entered the room over there!

Yue Fei was discussing something with several generals. Seeing Zhao Chen's arrival, they also knelt down in a hurry and said, "See your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen helped Yue Fei up and said with a smile: "From now on in the barracks, you will not kneel down! What are you discussing?"

Yue Fei said: "Weichen thinks that the army should be trained every three days! These generals do not agree with the weichen's statement!"

The faces of those generals all showed upset expressions, and one general said: "Your Majesty, is it a bit too hard to train for three days? We have been in the Northwest for many years, and the original army was only a training for five days! Doing this, I'm afraid the soldiers can't stand it!"

Zhao Chen said: "Three days and one training? Five days and one training? What is this?"

At the moment, Yue Fei explained in a hurry, it turned out that a three-day training is a three-day training, and a five-day training is a five-day training! In addition to the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, the ancient Chinese army was already very lazy in the Song Dynasty! In the Western Army, let alone a three-day training, even a five-day training is extremely rare. Many troops even train every ten days or half a month! In the Ming dynasty after the Song dynasty, army training was equally lazy! Like Qi Jiguang, the famous general at the time, the amount of military training under his men was the strongest in the history of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was only a small training for three days and a big training for five days! It seems that in the modern society of later generations, soldiers in the army train every day, which is unimaginable in the Song and Ming dynasties!

Zhao Chen shook his head when he heard this, and said, "One training for three days? One training for five days? I think it should be one training a day!"

When Zhao Chen said this, Yue Fei and the others were stunned, and Yue Fei said, "Train once a day? Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is wrong!"

Zhao Chen sneered, and said: "What's wrong? Our Da Song army is used to being lazy, so it is difficult to be diligent! What should be normal is unexpected! From today on, I will deal with state affairs occasionally, and the rest. Time to stay in the Forbidden Army and train with the soldiers!"

what!

Yue Fei was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you train with the soldiers?"

Zhao Chen said: "Today is a chaotic world, different from the past! When I was in Kaifeng that day, on the day I got the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, I vowed in my heart to use this sword to destroy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and restore the prosperity of our Han people! The main thing is to appoint officials, but the appointment of officials requires evaluation of officials, requires observation, and requires a certain amount of time. These I can completely leave to Li Gang, Wang Shu and others to do it! I will stay here to train with you!"

While Yue Fei was a little surprised, he felt excited on the other side! If Zhao Chen stayed here, it would indeed be of great benefit to his training! Zhao Chen's stay here can naturally boost his morale. Of course, Yue Fei still disagrees with Zhao Chen's daily training, he finds it difficult to do it!

At that time Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, the Forbidden Army can be commanded for many years after being broken, morale is decadent, only your Majesty can boost morale!"

Zhao Chen said: "How is morale decadent?"

Yue Fei said: "The soldiers are not willing to train! They are also unusually lazy on weekdays!"

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and said, "You go and summon all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. I want to speak to them!"

Yue Fei hurriedly nodded and agreed, he took a few generals to do this thing!

The laziness of the Forbidden Army was beyond Zhao Chen's imagination. Zhao Chen came here in the morning, and it took more than an hour for the Forbidden Army to assemble!

Sixty thousand forbidden troops gathered in a clearing. Most of the soldiers stood without standing, sitting without sitting, and many soldiers were whispering there!

Zhao Chen came to the front, thinking that there were flies everywhere on the training ground, and the buzzing was constant!

It wasn't until Zhao Chen got on the high platform that the whispers below slowly stopped!

Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers below, frowning, Yue Fei followed him, his brows frowned!

"See your majesty", "long live your majesty", "long live long live long live"... After a while, the sound of the mountain whistling and the tsunami came from below, and the soldiers shouted there. Hearing this sound, Zhao Chen couldn't cry or laugh. .

He raised his hand and slowly pressed it down, and the voice below stopped!

It's just that the long live voices are gone, but those whispering voices slowly sounded! Some soldiers turned their heads to talk to the people beside them, while others talked to the people behind! Some soldiers simply sat on the ground and fanned them with their hands!

The weather in June is so hot that these soldiers can't bear it!

"Look at what you look like, do you still look like a soldier?" Zhao Chen suddenly let out a cold cry from above!

Hearing this sound, the soldiers below were slightly startled. Many soldiers hurriedly stopped whispering, and the soldiers who sat down also stood up one after another!

"You can't even stand straight?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

These soldiers stand crookedly, not looking like they are, some are bent over, some are leaning their legs, they are not so much soldiers as they are a bunch of gangsters!

Zhao Chen did not expect that the Forbidden Army would be so rotten! It's no wonder that such an army was vulnerable to the Jurchens! If the army continues to do this, it would be a dream to rely on the army to realize its aspirations!

"Your Majesty, they are like this, they need good training to change it!" Yue Fei said.

"Today I will accompany them to train well! You pass the order to make everyone stand upright! Today I stand here, they stand below! Let's stand together for a few hours under the scorching sun! Huh, even stand! No, is this still a soldier?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"This..." Yue Fei nodded, and the current generals of the Forbidden Army called one after another and gave Zhao Chen's order!

In the scorching sun, Zhao Chen just stood there!

His martial arts has reached the seventh floor of the acquired day, but after all, he has not entered the innate, and he has not yet reached the point of invading the cold and heat!

At the beginning, Zhao Chen didn't feel anything, but after a short while, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead. Gradually, he sweated more and more, and his clothes were soaked!

But Zhao Chen still stood there, motionless!

The generals and soldiers below were all ordered by Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen asked them to "stand" here, and they all had to stand up straight!

The whispers of the soldiers had already stopped. The weather was so hot that they didn't have the strength to speak at all!

Some soldiers couldn't stand straight, and immediately some generals stepped forward and beat them fiercely on their backs and legs. These soldiers had to continue to stand straight!

Time gradually passed, half an hour has passed, countless soldiers have sore legs and feet, they want to sit down on the ground, but on the high platform, Zhao Chen is still standing there!

Zhao Chen stood there motionless, he was almost at the limit now, but he was still standing!

"From Kaifeng to Hanzhong, I don't know how much suffering I have experienced over the past year. Can I not do this with a little bit of pain? If I can't do it, how can I ask those soldiers to do it?" Zhao Chen tightly He clenched his fists and secretly said.

He continued to hold on, and gradually the tired feeling disappeared, and his chest seemed to have strength again! Zhao Chen knew that he had been tired for a while!

He is still standing, but many soldiers below can no longer bear it!

The bodies of many soldiers are already crumbling!

Under such scorching sun, many soldiers have already felt heatstroke and dehydration! They hardly train on weekdays. Once they encounter such high-intensity training, their bodies and will cannot withstand it at all!

It has been an hour, Zhao Chen is still standing there!

Many of the soldiers below could no longer bear it and fell to the ground! The general lashed them fiercely with a whip, but they still couldn't get up! At this moment, even the patrolling generals can't bear it, and many generals can't help but want to find a cool place to rest!

An hour and a half passed, Zhao Chen was still standing there, and most of the soldiers under the Imperial Army had fallen!

Two hours have passed, and Zhao Chen is still standing, and the Forbidden Army soldiers below can stand less than one-tenth!

Including Zhao Chen, everyone did not eat at noon. Many soldiers were hungry and tired. Some even wanted to die right away!

In ancient Chinese military training, there has never been a training program like "standing". This is a great test of endurance!

Two and a half hours, the number of soldiers that can stand below is less than a hundred!

Zhao Chen finally stopped at this moment!

"Is this the Forbidden Army? I gave you the title of Forbidden Army that day, saying that it will restore you to the style of the founding era! But take a look, what do you look like now?"

"You are used to protect my family and the country, and to protect me! But now I am still standing here, but you are all down! Can you protect my home and the country like this? Can you protect me?"

"I'm only a twelve-year-old boy, and even if I can stand up forever, you are all adults. Can't you even stand up?"

Zhao Chen asked coldly from above.

Many soldiers lay on the ground, but after hearing such words, they felt ashamed. Some soldiers had struggled to stand up! It's just that although they stood up, their bodies were still trembling because they were too tired!

"It is said that the Han Chinese are not the opponents of the Jurchens, I did not believe it! But seeing you like this, how can I believe that you can beat the Jurchens? Only I rushed up!" Zhao Chen said with great disappointment.

"Your Majesty, I'm ashamed of waiting!" A soldier lowered his head and said.

Zhao Chen looked at the soldier, he knew that this soldier was the one who had been standing just now! At this moment, his face was flushed, and he was obviously ashamed to the extreme.

"What's your name?" Zhao Chen said.

"The villain Wang Ying! I was waiting to protect your Majesty, but I'm not as good as your Majesty, so I am extremely ashamed!" said the soldier named Wang Ying.

"You are fine! Being able to stand with me for so long is far better than others! I remember your name!" Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ying said gratefully.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of waiting!"

Soon, there was a sound of ashamed from below! Countless soldiers are struggling to stand up, their heads drooping, they are extremely ashamed! At this moment, even the generals are drooping their heads, and they are extremely ashamed!

"Your Majesty, the ministers did not train them well, so they are ashamed!" Yue Fei also said.

"Just know that you are ashamed! What I am afraid of is that you have no sense of shame! Mencius said that you should be brave after knowing the shame. If you know that you are ashamed, then you will train well in the future! I will be with you every day from now on. I can't even compare to me. Why do I believe that you can defend your home and the country? Why do you believe that you can defeat King Jurchen and King Kang?" Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers below, saying every word.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely train well, and I will never slack off again!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, why can't we do what your Majesty can do?"

"Your Majesty can endure hardship so much, why can't we endure hardship?"

The soldiers below gritted their teeth, each expressing determination!

Zhao Chen finally showed a smile on his face and said, "Very good! You must be very tired after standing in the sun for such a long time today! Drink some water first and take a good rest. I want to be with you Yue Yue The general discusses military matters carefully! From tomorrow on, I will train with you in the barracks!"
