Chapter Eighty-Nine: A New Plan (Part II)
There are nearly fifty people in the Zhang Mansion under the leadership of Lao Zhao, who are active in the school field in the military camp.
Pieces of wood are constantly being transported here.
Zhang Yuan had only slept for an hour or two the night before, and spent the rest of the time drawing on silk.
There are no complicated utensils either.
Basically, there are horizontal bars and parallel bars, and some dumbbells made of stones and wood.
There are only a few ordinary training methods that Zhang Yuan can think of.
Running, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups on the horizontal bar, arm flexion and extension on the parallel bars.
Dumbbells are made so that soldiers can exercise their arms in their leisure time.
"Lao Zhao, hurry up and set up a set first, and I'll show General Wei Qing how to use these equipment."
"Whoa."
Lao Zhao promised, and then quickly led people to drive up the ground pile, and then stood firmly in the soil with the wooden horizontal bars and parallel bars.
Zhang Yuanjian saw that the single parallel bars had already been erected, grabbed the wheat flour that had been prepared a long time ago, and said to Wei Qing Gongsun Ao.
"You two are optimistic about how I do it."
After speaking, he walked to the horizontal bar, jumped up suddenly, and hung on the horizontal bar.
Zhang Yuan is 1.8 meters tall, and he is completely relaxed on the horizontal bar, and his drooping is almost 20 centimeters above the ground.
The generals and soldiers in the Qimen Army are generally short, and most of them are between 1.6 and 1.7 meters, so the height of two meters is just right now.
After hanging in mid-air, Zhang Yuan used all his strength, fought for his life, and finally made a complete pull-up action, and then fell to the ground.
coughed twice in embarrassment, and said to Wei Qing with a smile.
"General, you can try it."
Wei Qing stepped forward with a puzzled face, grabbed the horizontal bar with a sudden jump, and then began to do pull-ups one after another.
But when he did a dozen of them, his arms went down with soreness.
"It's a really physically demanding move."
Wei Qing rubbed his sore arm and said to Zhang Yuan.
"When you can make thirty or even forty in the time of thirty breaths, it will not be too difficult to dance a hundred catties of broadswords in the future."
One hundred catties in the Han Dynasty is more than forty catties compared to later generations, and when Wei Qing can really reach that point, Zhang Yuan believes that he will definitely be able to wield such a big knife easily and be able to use it on the battlefield.
"Then what should I do on weekdays to strengthen my arm strength, is it difficult to do this all the time?"
Wei Qing felt that pull-ups were too physically demanding, and it was a bit embarrassing to do this all the time.
"That's when you need it."
Zhang Yuan smiled and pointed to a few stone dumbbells on the side.
Walked over and picked up one, constantly raised and lowered one arm, and demonstrated it to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing also followed Zhang Yuan's example, but he had just done so many pull-ups, and his arms were still a little sore.
"Is it okay to do what you do?"
"Yes, General, you can do such an action with one arm when you are dealing with official business or resting on weekdays, and you will not delay your affairs or exercise."
Hearing Zhang Yuan's explanation, Wei Qing was very satisfied, he really needed this kind of equipment.
"Lao Zhao, I'll send a pair to my military tent later."
"Whoa."
Next, Zhang Yuan demonstrated the training method of parallel bars arm flexion and extension for Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.
These actions are very simple, and there is no need to explain them at all, just do it for everyone to see, and let them learn from it.
"That's all?"
Wei Qing asked Zhang Yuan after reading it, he felt that pull-ups and arm flexion and extension could not be used as long-term training items.
Zhang Yuan shook his head indifferently, he really felt that his body was a little weak now, and he was a little tired from the demonstration.
"There are three other things.
The same is still a wild run.
The other two are called sit-ups and push-ups.
You see, okay. ”
Zhang Yuan dragged his tired body and demonstrated sit-ups and push-ups to the two of them.
The hollowed-out body walked a little flutteringly.
This is the daily training plan of the soldiers of the Qimen Army.
There are five events in total, wild runs, horizontal bar pull-ups, parallel bar arm flexion and extension, sit-ups, and push-ups.
These are all morning training items, leaving an hour and a half at noon for the soldiers to recover their strength, and then let Zong Xing and others take the soldiers to drill ordnance.
When the craftsmen in my house had made the horsesshoes, they added the training of cavalry charges, alternating with the drill ordnance.
General, military Sima, what do you think? ”
These things are all new things, except for running in the wild, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao have never heard of other projects before.
There is also a deep suspicion that these projects will have an effect.
Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
If the goal was to fight the Huns, there would be very little time.
"Long history, I'm afraid that this kind of training method will not be tolerated by the Chinese military government."
Gongsun Ao was the first to raise objections.
Zhang Yuan didn't speak, but looked at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing pondered for a while and spoke.
"The period gate army belongs directly to His Majesty, and the salaries of the soldiers are all transferred from the Shaofu.
Originally, all we wanted from the Chinese military government was ordnance, and to put it bluntly, it was a horseshoe stirrup.
But now Zhang Changshi's mansion has been building equipment, and when the horseshoe is all built, Zhang Changshi will use the remaining time to make as many crossbows and arrows as his family can build.
As for the reward, when our Futures Army shines in the spring of next year, Your Majesty will definitely not hesitate to reward you, and I will take out all my rewards to repay what I owe Zhang Changshi this time.
If you lose, it can only mean that this training method is not effective, and the fate of you and my brothers is estimated to be in a different place, so there is no need to think about those things.
Starting tomorrow, the 3,000 men of the Qimen army will strictly follow the training plan formulated by Zhang Changshi, and no one can object, as long as His Majesty still puts me in control of the Qimen army, this plan must be implemented. ”
These words are equivalent to issuing a military order in the period gate army, and Gongsun Ao and Zhang Yuan responded to a promise in unison, and they are no longer entangled in this matter.
After Wei Qing affirmed it, Zhang Yuan immediately took out the complete training plan.
There are clear regulations on how much needs to be done for each project.
Even the officers had to follow the plan above.
When the chief of Wu is doing it, he is overseeing.
When the chief does, the tun chief supervises.
When the tun commander does it, the military waits for the superintendent.
When the army was waiting, Wei Qing, Zhang Yuan, and Gongsun Ao took turns to supervise.
In order to convince the whole army, Zhang Yuan put himself in this time.
There is no way, there is still half a year to face the Huns, dragging the current body to the battlefield, Wei Qing wants to withdraw to protect him, and it is estimated that he does not have enough energy.
