Chapter 5: Spring Dawn (4 times)

In three days, he trained fifty recruits and veterans to the point of command, and then took them to maintain the recruitment order of the large campus. If something goes wrong, military law will do it! It took a lot of effort for Wang Xun to figure out what he was going to do! Heaven is pitiful, the maids and servants of the Wang family combined, it is only this number. It all depends on Aunt Yun's command and scheduling, every time Wang Xun intervenes, the ending will definitely be chickens and dogs, and nothing can be done in the end.

In desperation, he had to find a way to push the task to Zhao and Li. In this regard, the two team vice-presidents are also very worried. Zhao Huaixu spread his hands and told Wang Xun frankly that he had been a personal soldier for Zhou Duwei before he served as the deputy of the team. Learn from the example of Zhou Duwei back then, and give Wang Xun an idea. If Wang Xun wants to stuff the burden over, he will definitely smash the pot at that time.

Li Yuanqin was even more direct, snapping his fingers to let Wang Xun see his past resume. Born as a martial artist, because he made a long lance that was passable, he was privately hired by Feng Changqing to enlist in the army as a gun and stick teacher in the Anxi Army. I have never led soldiers alone, and the reason why I was able to give advice to Wang Xun before was because I had been fighting in the army for so many years, although I had never eaten venison, I had always seen how to run a deer. The other half of the reason is that Wang Xun is open-minded and studious, and he is willing to command indiscriminately.

"Then what can I do!" Seeing that the two team vice-presidents began to pick their sons, Wang Xun screamed loudly.

"It's okay!" Zhao Huaixu squeezed his eyes and whispered comfort, "Under the military regulations, isn't there a supplementary clause?" Even if you mess up, for the sake of the first offense, it's just a stick at best. It can also be divided into several ......."

"Whew!" Wang Xun threw over with the basin and poured Deputy Zhao into a soup chicken. "The three of us are grasshoppers on a rope, I am beaten with a military stick, and you two don't want to run. When the time comes, I'll say that you two rely on the old and sell the old and interfere with the ........."

Having said that, the three of them still took it seriously and tried their best to familiarize themselves with and organize the team as soon as possible. Fortunately, Wang Xun's competition with Qi Heng was very sensational. The recruits of the second team of the seventh brigade felt that the team was giving the recruits a long face, so they were very cooperative with his command. And the veterans of the second team of the Seventh Brigade also feel that their own team still has some real skills, and they are not the second ancestor who completely relies on the shadow of the family, so they do not deliberately make trouble for him. In addition, Wang Xun himself is generous and never stingy with money. I don't care about taking advantage of my subordinates. The rewards received in training are always distributed fairly. After several tosses, the appearance of the second team of the new Seventh Brigade has indeed reached the point of being second to none among all the teams that have been reorganized.

Every morning, with a team of fifty people, running around the White Horse Fort with neat steps, Wang Xun felt a pride in his chest soaring into the sky. It was as if he was not fifty people, but five hundred, five thousand, or even fifty thousand. The horse stepped on Loulan, and the knife slashed Baekje, majestic and murderous. After fantasizing, this path to joining the army is really the right choice. And when he suffered in training and sparring, and even lost face in public, he felt that it was better for him to continue to eat at home and wait for death honestly, than to be ridiculed loudly by so many people like a street dwarf. In this way, hovering left and right between the two emotions of "swearing to break Loulan" and "it is better to go back", and three days passed. Early in the morning of the fourth day, the second team of the 7th Brigade of the new barracks received an order, brought all kinds of utensils, and went straight to the large school field in the center of Baima Fort.

This time, the reorganization of the Flying Dragon Guard, and the selection of "talented and brave" children of good families from the open competition among the people to enlist in the army were personally proposed by His Majesty the Emperor and discussed and approved by the civil and military officials in the court. Therefore, many well-informed people in the Beijing Division have paid great attention to it. You must know that the Tang Dynasty established the country by force, and it is known that there are no scholars in Lingyan Pavilion. Although His Majesty the Emperor has focused on civil rule in recent years, he has no intention of expanding the territory, from Liaodong to Anxi, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty still beat the barbarians in all directions and changed color when they heard the sound of horns and drums. Moreover, the promotion path of military generals is much fairer and more convenient than that of civilian positions. There is Xue Rengui in the white robe, and then there are Ge Shuhan, Gao Xianzhi, Guo Ziyi, and Feng Changqing.

The Flying Dragon Guards are the personal soldiers of the Son of Heaven, although they are not as valued as the Inner Palace Guards, and their promotion is also extremely fast. Pingsu only needs to put out fires and dredge the drainage canals in Jingshili, and he can be counted as a number of medals. If you are lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty the Emperor and be promoted to a heavy general, it is not impossible. (Note 1)

The combination of the above factors caused the gate of the White Horse Fort University to be crowded this morning. Many rich and noble families have sons and nephews, and they have no chance to inherit their father's title in this life, and they do not have the perseverance to study hard day and night to gain fame. put the hope of coming out on today's end. Seeing that the sun had risen over the treetops, and the door of the school was not opened, some people were impatient, so they shouted loudly, "Open the door, open the door, is the number of officers already in the room." Don't deceive everyone anymore! ”

"It's strange that you don't open the door so late, it's not boring!" Some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they take the opportunity to agitate loudly.

"Your Majesty personally promised to grant you an official position based on your martial arts!" "No matter how wise Your Majesty is, he can't stand the traitors in the court!" In the blink of an eye, the agitation became louder and louder, and I couldn't wait for the school gate to be overturned to the ground.

"Rush up, no matter who it is, hit it directly!" Wang Xun led the guards of his team to arrive just now, and according to the previously planned routine, he gave orders to the brothers.

"No!" The fifty Flying Dragon Guards immediately raised the eyebrow short stick in their hands, and couldn't help but say, and hit forward along the road at the entrance of the school field, and scolded loudly while fighting: "Dodge, dodge, you want to rebel." I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If you don't want to rebel, just stand on the side of the road and line up! ”

As the saying goes, "the wicked have their own wicked grinding", the people who were still noisy at the gate before were beaten and bruised and swollen, but they all immediately quieted down. Holding the green bag on his head, he stepped aside, honestly waiting for the officer's command.

"Pull away from the tripwire!" Seeing that a trick was successful, Wang Xun was more confident. looked around, frowned and ordered.

The Praetorian Guards said again loudly, more neatly than normal training. Tie the left and right doorposts of the school gate with a red tripping horse, pull it out along the road, pull three lanes on each side, and use ash poles to make columns to fix it, and pull it from the gate to more than 20 zhang away. Only then did it clean up again. Then, on each side, ten Praetorian Guards stood down, waved the stick, and ordered the good families who had come to take the test to line up and follow the passage pulled out by the rope to penetrate inside.

Entering the gate of the school, there are two team deputies who are responsible for registration, checking identities, and issuing marked plates according to the examination items of the children of good families. Then, the other three captains under Wang Xun's command each took several guards and marked them according to the brand markings, and led the test takers to the designated range one after another. During the march, he refused to give half a smile, as long as someone dared to take half a step, he immediately hit him with a stick, beating the other party and begging for mercy again and again.

Although this method is a little rougher, the effect is not generally good. The sons of good families who came to take the examination were beaten, and immediately understood that the inside of the barracks was different from the outside, so they put away all their arrogance and acted carefully according to orders. And the flying dragon guards of the second team of the new Seventh Brigade suddenly felt a sense of pride and belonging in their hearts because they beat each other to the ground. They felt like they were superior, even though a few days ago, they had been similarly cleaned up by the veterans.

After bringing the sons of the good family to the assessment venue, the responsibility of the Flying Dragon Guards of the Second Team of the Seventh Brigade of the New Barracks was over, and another team of Janissaries accepted the candidates. Identification was re-verified against the description on the roster and the competition was arranged.

After being busy for an hour and a half, the flow of people who came to apply slowly thinned out. In the big school field, there were waves of cheers, and it was obvious that among the good families who came to apply, there were indeed people with good skills, which opened the eyes of the examiners and applicants. Wang Xun was worried about Yu Wenzhi in his heart, so he explained a few words to Zhao Huaixu and asked him to guard the gate instead of him for the time being. Turning, wiping his sweat, he strode inside.

After only walking a dozen steps, I saw Ma Fang running from a distance. Under the sunlight, the little face was flushed, and the beads of sweat on the forehead were clearly visible. Seeing Wang Xun, he immediately bent down, panting, and shouted loudly: "Erlang, hurry up and take a look, Yuwen Kid has met an opponent!" ”

"It's fine!" Wang Xun smiled and responded casually. "His kung fu on his fists and feet is already sparse, and even I can't beat it, so it's ........"

"It's not a fist!" Ma Fang panted and waved his hand, "It's a bow and arrow, I really met a master today, Yuwen Kid is more than a little worse than others!" ”

"There's such a thing!" Wang Xun couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Yuwen Zhi has been messing with him from childhood to adulthood, and he knows very well what level he is. Because of his character, this person can't endure hardship, so his fist and foot skills are very average. Otherwise, he would not have designed to bully Li Bai some time ago, but was beaten by the other party with a blue nose and swollen face. But when it comes to bow and arrow archery, Yuwenzhi is simply a genius. It is an exaggeration to say that 100 steps through Yang, within 100 steps, more than eight out of 10 arrows hit the bull's-eye, but it is not a difficult thing.

"Hurry up and see. There are many people who know you, see if you can help Zida cheat. Otherwise, he will definitely lose! Wang Xun was not allowed to think about it, Ma Fang grabbed his arm, "Hurry up, hurry up, one step later, Sensei said that the first place, the top three may not have Zida's share!" ”

Note 1: Honorable Records, a way of remembering merit in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Basically, if the book is changed three times, the official will be promoted to one level.
