Chapter 180: Reborn
In Vermilion Bird Lane, on the martial arts arena behind the Yamen of the Ministry of War, a group of people gathered into a square team for the leading grandson to review.
"I think this army is already quite impressive," Zhu Zhanji said happily: "What does Commander Yang think?"
A figure emerged from behind him, but there was a look of disapproval on his heroic face, "Your Highness, judging from the last general, they are not qualified." β
This person is Yang Hong, he is now the deputy general of Long Xiangwei, and in addition to him, he was invited by the Taisun to train the group of martial artists in front of him, as well as Xue Lu's son Xue Huan. Xue Huan inherited his father's coarse character, and his requirements for soldiers were not high, and he felt good when he saw everyone's martial arts, but Yang Hong thought about it more, he had already found that these people were very slack, although the basic quality was very good, but there was no centripetal force of the army, and they seemed to know their fate, and they all felt that Taisun had pulled them to compete with the King of Han on a whim, no matter whether they won or lost, they had no future.
This situation was reflected to the Taisun, who soon promised them that their army would always remain as his own army, and even expand to thousands to tens of thousands of people in the New Yearβthis time everyone obviously had momentum, but Yang Hong found that they had spared no effort to show themselves, and still did not form a cohesive force.
"Your Royal Highness," Yang Hong proposed after careful consideration: "The last general heard that the crown princess Niangniang originally had a women's army, this army has a unique training method, can make thousands of people like an arm, my father saw the crown princess Niangniang with his own eyes to participate in the military parade, full of praise, why don't Your Highness ask the crown princess Niangniang for guidance?"
"You said the women's army," Zhu Zhanji said: "I also know, but my imperial grandfather said that it was all the play of the daughters of the boudoir, could it be that there were no soldiers to send, and it really didn't work for them to go to the battlefield? Didn't they be dismissed later, how did you remember this nondescript army? I asked you to train the troops, are you powerless and can't train at all?"
Yang Hong said: "Training is not a one-time plan, it takes a long time before it can be trained. His Royal Highness wants the last general to complete the task quickly in less than two months, and it is really difficult for the last general to complete the task. β
Yang Hong knew very well that this was just a game between Taisun and the King of Han, how could Taisun be so young and inexperienced, how could he defeat the King of Han, but if the emperor saw that Taisun's soldiers had the power of a blow in the face of King Han's soldiers, and saw that the soldiers brought out by Taisun were considerable, and there was a little military prestige, even if Taisun won.
Then this does not need his training method in the military camp at all, only the method of the crown princess to train the women's army back then, Yang Hong's father saw it with his own eyes, and said that that method is unheard of but very effective, and the results can be seen in a short time.
"Could it be that the Women's Army was really extraordinary back then?" Even Xue Huan on the side heard about it, and tried his best to ask the princess to ask the princess, Zhu Zhanji was moved, "Then I'll ask." β
Zhang Zhaohua in the Chunhe Palace heard that the grandson had chosen Yang Hong and Xue Huan as the instructors of the new army, and finally nodded: "Even if you still have a snack, these two people are well chosen." β
Zhu Zhan basically should have a better choice, the British Duke Zhang Fu and the Duke of Chengguo Zhu Yong were guilty and uneasy because the family did not favor the East Palace in the previous turmoil, if the Taisun spoke at this time, they would definitely do their best to train this recruit, maybe under Zhang Fu's training, they could really fight with the King of Han - but they had the heart to teach, but the recruits would not necessarily listen.
Because it was this gang of nobles who collectively excluded the Wuju people from the martial arts, the original intention of the emperor was to stimulate the children of the ministers to be angry, and they could not really degenerate into gentlemen, cockfighters, and that time the martial arts came out, and the door was regarded as a great threat, under their crying, the emperor read on the old feelings, and gave them two more years, these poor Wuju people, were temporarily put aside by the emperor, and no longer asked. How can this kind of hatred be leveled overnight?
And Yang Hong and Xue Huan are different, Yang Hong's background is not known to outsiders, in the eyes of Wuju people, he has no background and does not belong to the noble class. And although Xue Huan was born in Xungui, Xue Lu started as a pawn back then, and he and Guo Yi were rare Xungui who had a good impression of Wuju people, he did not mix in the things of the year, and Xue Huan was also different from those corrupt and degenerate Xun second generations, he was trained by his father Xue Lu to be dressed in copper skin and iron bones, and he has real skills.
The two of them quickly got along with the Wuju people, but whether it was Xue Huan's method of boiling the muscles and bones, or Yang Hong's battle formation, there was no significant effect on the Wuju people, so Yang Hong remembered the prestige of the Women's Army back then.
"Mother," Zhu Zhanji leaned over: "Did the Women's Army really go to the battlefield with you back then? β
"You don't know much," Zhang Zhaohua instructed Hanshuang: "Take my red card." β
Hanshuang hung the red card on the corner tower of Dong'anmen, and about two o'clock, the guards of Dong'anmen came over and said, "There are twenty-four women waiting outside the door, saying that Niangniang summoned them." β
"This is a member of the women's army in Beijing," Zhang Zhaohua said, "There are a lot of them." β
After that, Zhu Zhanji was confused and took the training outline written by Zhang Zhaohua to him and the twenty-four women back to the training ground, Yang Hong carefully read the outline, and said to Xue Huan, who was scratching his ears and cheeks on the side: "I don't particularly understand, the essentials of this standing military posture are written on it, all training must be based on the standing military posture, and if you can't practice the military posture, you can't practice anything else." β
"Just look at what is written on this, it is to stand, just stand upright," Xue Huan said: "It shouldn't be difficult to stand for an hour......
However, as soon as they trained like this, they saw that everyone was fine at first, and within half an hour, all kinds of movements were frequent, some scratched their ears and cheeks, some yawned for days, and some shook back and forth.
"Don't hang around! I can't hold on for a quarter of an hour!" Xue Huan scolded loudly, but there were still more people who began to make all kinds of small movements.
When Xue Huan directly stepped on the pedals, some people in the team were not convinced: "Instructor, no one can do this way, even if he is a tree man, he will not be able to endure for so long!"
This kind of criticism immediately attracted a large number of echoes: "Who knows if the instructor deliberately embarrassed people?"
"The instructor has the ability to give us a demonstration and convince us!"
Zhu Zhanji and Xue Huan glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Let you be convinced!"
Yang Hong blew a whistle, only to see a team of only twenty-four people walking behind him, this team was uniform, just like countless doppelgangers of a person, and the most unbelievable thing was that this team turned out to be all women.
The eyes of the Wuju people widened, and they saw that this women's army team suddenly changed from ordinary walking to big strides, and there were so many drill grounds, but there was only the sound of neat brushes and brushes they stepped out, without a trace of noise.
After standing up, the female soldiers scattered, maintained a movement and began to stand in a military posture, Yang Hong even tied them with a thin rope tied to the stone, and even sprinkled lime under their feet, an hour passed like this, and when the whistle sounded to announce the time to stop, some of the female soldiers even had condensed frost on their eyebrows, some of them were pale, and some were sweating profusely, but none of the stones of one person had a slight deviation, and none of the lime under one person's feet were scattered.
"How is it," Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed: "Do you accept it or not?"
These rebellious martial artists finally stared at each other and whispered: "Why do you look like a dummy......"
"How the hell did you get it? How can you stand so straight, so long?"
"I just stared at their butts...... Hahaha......"
Zhu Zhanji saw that although these martial artists tried their best to make disdainful expressions, their expressions had already revealed envy and a feeling of being encouraged and unconvinced, if even women could do this set of actions, there was no reason why their group of great men who were both civil and military would lag behind.
Zhu Zhanji remembered what his mother told him, if it was just training, it was not enough, but also there should be incentives to make them form a competitive heart. He divided the group into ten teams, each with twenty-two people, and stipulated that the competition would be held after a month, and if it was the last team, it would be eliminated.
Zhang Zhaohua left Xiaohong and Wu Niang to help Taisun drill the team, these two people put on a straight face, and the martial artists who were still thinking of laughing were sore and wanted to die, and after a few times, the two of them already had various nicknames in the barracks. But after day by day of practice, these martial arts people who were already used to being casual were finally reborn, and they seemed to be twisted into a rope and turned into a strict team.
