Chapter 50: The Art of Military Training
Seeing the prince walk out of the tent, the two guards on duty at the door of the tent followed closely. From beginning to end, their hands did not leave the hilt.
These are two fresh faces, not the guards of the East Palace. But Li Chengqian knew that these two were probably "guards with knives in front of the emperor", even in the barracks, the royal family would not relax its vigilance against the outside world.
Seeing the prince coming from afar, the craftsman carrying the wood put down the stake in his hand and performed a funny etiquette.
I reached out and touched the stake, but I didn't feel a single burr.
Li Chengqian said with emotion: "You really don't have to say anything about your craftsmanship, to be honest, I want to leave a few special tools for the military camp." ”
The black-faced man who carried the stake smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised me so much, I don't even know what to say." My name is Liu Laosi, my home is in Andefang, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a life in the future, I will immediately put down the work in my hand and come over. ”
Looking at the smiling Liu Laosi, Li Chengqian didn't expect that his operation would make these craftsmen so grateful.
Waving his hand to signal him to continue his work, Li Chengqian strolled through the construction site with his hands behind his back, watching the craftsmen at work while enjoying their reverent etiquette.
He used to be just a bitter delivery man, one of the lowest figures in the city. Now that he has been born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he is a little damn obsessed with this kind of respect, and he feels greeted by someone wherever he goes.
In the open space stood a lonely tent, which was lit by a lamp.
Li Chengqian approached and found that it was Yan Liben who was drawing a picture inside.
The original drawings were all sketches, and there was no detailed drawing of how each part should be made. It's just a rough indication of where the connection is dead and where activities are needed. And Yan Liben was drawing out the finished product at this time and sealing it in a bag on the side.
Walking into the tent, Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Yan Qing is really hard, in fact, you don't need to draw pictures, they are all things that are drawn blindly at the whim, and they are not important." ”
Yan Liben rubbed his panda eyes, tried to stand up but his feet were numb, and sat back down.
Li Chengqian motioned that he didn't need to be polite, and sat down opposite and began to look at Yan Liben's drawings.
patting the bag, Yan Liben said solemnly: "Before last night, maybe you didn't need to be serious, but after Wei Guogong saw it, he repeatedly told the officials not to let the drawings leak out." Wei Guogong also said that in these drawings, he saw the art of military training. The nonsense you are talking about is very likely to become the top secret of Datang. ”
"Poof!"
Li Chengqian suddenly laughed.
What?
Datang's top secret?
That's all there is to it? Is there any mistake, just exercise equipment, it becomes top secret? In that case, the sports squares of later generations will have to be strictly protected!
Seeing that Li Chengqian still didn't think so, Yan Liben said solemnly: "Wei Guogong has already said that tomorrow he will ask His Majesty to personally inspect these equipment." Your Highness must no longer be arrogant, even everyone like Wei Gong is so dignified in the art of war, which shows that this is definitely not simple. ”
Looking at Yan Liben's solemn expression, Li Chengqian fell into deep thought.
Thinking about the original method of training soldiers in Tai, maybe, what he is accustomed to is really important to Datang?
When the light illuminates the ground, the departure of the night accelerates.
As soon as Li Chengqian specified a few drawing errors, the sky was already bright.
Yu Tai slept well again, holding the unsheathed horizontal knife in his hand, and appeared at the door of Yan Liben's tent in high spirits.
"Will be the young eunuch Yan Liben, before you return to Chang'an, this general will follow you, no problem."
The panda-eyed Yan Liben nodded with relief at this time, and handed over the drawings he had sorted out to Yu Tai.
Li Chengqian reluctantly knocked on Yu Tai's horizontal knife with a brush, and said dissatisfiedly: "Take back the horizontal knife, who are you scaring about!" Tell you, Yan Li was originally alone, don't play your general's majesty! ”
As soon as he met Li Chengqian, Yu Tai couldn't keep his serious expression, and looked at the prince playfully, Yu Tai said with a smile: "The last general persuaded His Royal Highness to go to the venue to have a look, Your Majesty is still in a hangover, but when he heard Duke Wei's report, he got up." ”
Li Chengqian secretly screamed that something was wrong, and hurriedly left Yan Liben's tent.
It was still a busy open space before dawn, and not a single artisan could be seen at this time.
At this time, in the open space inside the barracks, all the craftsmen were squatting on the ground, surrounded by soldiers with their swords out of their sheaths.
In the training venue, Li Jing was wearing a medium coat and was personally trying on the equipment that was erected yesterday.
There is nothing to say about the rope ladder, the iron ring and the iron rod, even Li Jing tried it with great difficulty.
After completing most of the climbing wall, Li Jing climbed the stupid light pole without using a safety rope, and then climbed to the top and looked down at the bottom of the ten meters high, looking heavy.
Under the big iron ring, the generals all had the same solemn faces, and a few of them even couldn't wait to take off their armor and wanted to try it.
Seeing Li Chengqian coming over, Li Shimin, who had also taken off his armor, immediately asked: "Chengqian, you told your father that you drew all the pictures and asked the general to supervise the production?" ”
Li Chengqian nodded and asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Li Shimin suddenly asked, "Why do you want to make these things?" ”
As for the answer to this question, Li Chengqian thought of the answer early on.
"Naturally, because I thought of it, when Yu Tai trained Erchen to run before, Erchen found that the human body is plastic. I was tired of running at first, but as long as I persevered, I would be able to run more and more. By analogy, is it the same for high jumps, climbing, etc.? Yesterday's monkey in the barracks proved the child's conjecture. When he was very young, he always went up to the tree to dig out the bird's nest, and when he got used to it, he would give him a random tree, and even if he didn't have branches, he could climb it quickly. These things are made by the children to make the soldiers run faster, climb faster, jump higher, and have more strength. ”
After listening to Li Chengqian's words, the generals all pondered.
Is the human body very malleable? That's true! What a bullshit military training technique, it turns out that there is nothing mysterious.
A seven-year-old child can think of running and running, and it is really embarrassing that they still practice this technique as not to pass on their learning!
At the place of climbing the wall, Li Jing did not take the slope, but retreated according to the original path. There was still no rope, but his figure was like a ghost, and after a few moves, he easily retreated from a height of ten meters.
This forced skill, absolutely practiced!
Witnessing Li Jing's skills, Li Chengqian suddenly became ready to move.
A good man should have a martial arts dream, like Yu Tai, who slashes everything that is not satisfied, it is too rough. An inconspicuous person like Li Jing is the king!
