Following Qin Mubai and the eldest grandson "shook hands and made peace", there was another strange thing in the Hundred Cavalry Camp - Wei Chi Baoyun, who was beaten by Qin Mubai to the point of being almost crippled a few days ago, covered his buttocks, which was still bleeding and did not have a good scar, moved to Qin Mubai's public belonging, and apologized to him in public to admit his mistake.

It's a bit cheap, and it tastes like the guilt of Jing back then.

Qin Mubai, naturally, also got off the donkey down the slope, giving Yu Chi Baoyun enough face. also compensated him in turn, the elder brother and the younger brother held their hands and stroked their shoulders, and drank and talked happily.

The three deputy envoys Cheng Huaibi, Changsun Lian and Wei Chi Baoyun, plus Qin Mubai and Li Junxian and some other civilian officials and generals, held a banquet, which was regarded as a breeze for the new Changsun Lian and other officers.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is definitely a scene where you don't know each other, and heroes cherish heroes. Only Qin Mubai and a few others knew in their hearts that everyone was just under the pressure of the emperor, so they had to put on an appearance of living in harmony and forging ahead hand in hand. At this point, everyone has understood a truth: no matter how big the contradictions between colleagues are, they are no bigger than the emperor; The bottom line of everyone's infighting and competition is not to violate the purpose of serving the emperor and protecting the emperor of the hundred horses, and not to make the emperor unhappy. Otherwise, everyone won't be able to eat and walk around.

The current situation is very similar to what Li Shimin said to Qin Mubai at the beginning: when Li Jing led the team, no matter how the people under him fought and what kind of personal grievances they had, the overall atmosphere of the team was still united.

Now Qin Mubai understands. Li Jing's ability is outstanding, but the unity of a team is necessary. If anyone does not unite and engage in separatism, he will not be able to get along with the emperor and the purpose of the army. Because of personal grudges and infighting, the bottom line of an army has been touched, and such a person must be unlucky.

The eldest grandson Wuji has followed the emperor for many years, and although he has never personally taken charge of the army, he deeply understands the truth of this. So, he had to make a big fuss and take his son to Li Shimin to ask for his guilt in person, and he also condescended to make amends to Qin Mubai. It's because he understands that no matter who he is, no matter how bold he is, don't be naughty in the army. The emperor is the supreme commander of all the armies of the entire Tang Dynasty, and all the armies are headed by him and serve him loyally. Whoever dares to engage in infighting, separatism, and sabotage the atmosphere in the army will surely end up in a miserable end. Such a bottom line, even the first commander of the Tang Dynasty like Li Jing dare not touch it, what is his son Changsun Lian?

So from this moment on, the atmosphere in Baiqi changed. When Changsun Jian and the others first came, they were not pleasing to Qin Mubai, and what they wanted to do most was to go against him, and it was best to pull him off the stage and replace him. Now, they have to be honest. Because now, the emperor is clearly supporting Qin Mubai, a hundred horsemen. It is not difficult to imagine that the eldest grandson Wuji must have educated the eldest grandson many times openly and secretly, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, must have also done the work of Wei Chi Baoyun, where would they dare to be naughty again. Even if he hates Qin Mubai to the core, and a hundred are not convinced, then he has to be obedient now, but Qin Mubai is the first to look forward.

In other words, such a thing may not happen in the court. As long as everyone has different political views, they will inevitably fight for each other and refuse to give in to each other, and it is normal for them to fight to the death openly and secretly.

But the army is not the same as the court. The order is like a mountain, the duty of a soldier is to obey, and the official is crushed to death. Naughty, die.

Changsun Jian and others, who have not been in the army for a few days, can be regarded as having seen the benefits and disadvantages of the army. This is compared to Qin Mubai, who entered the army a few days earlier, but he realized a lot later. Because Qin Mubai was born in a general, he also served as a soldier earlier. When he was at home, Uncle Qin told him a lot about the army.

In contrast, Qin Mubai was much more conscious than Changsun Jian and the others. Otherwise, he didn't dare to assert at the beginning that he could eat Changsun Jian and others to death.

Personal grievances are temporarily resolved. Next, it's time for Qin Mubai to train the hundred horsemen in a big way.

There are more than 600 people, all of whom are carefully selected elites. The Tang Dynasty is a martial country, the old and young women and children still pull bows and ride horses, and the children in the Shi family have better conditions for learning martial arts since childhood. Therefore, although there are many gentlemen among these people, those who can pass strict selection and competition to enter the hundred horses are all good hands with work under them.

The basic quality of this army is indeed very good.

Qin Mubai, Li Junxian and the other three deputy envoys discussed for many days, and finally decided on the basic skills of "100 Riders and 18 Items". This includes the traditional archery, horsemanship, sword, strength and other items of the Tang Army, as well as many other skills that Qin Mubai brought from the 21st century. For example: free fighting to defeat the enemy in one move, survival in the wild, first aid and self-rescue, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, courage and endurance, speed and reaction, etc. Of course, the "political education" that the emperor repeatedly told was also the top priority of the work. Every day, there is time for cultural classes, in addition to studying the laws and military orders, that is, to carry out the education of "patriotism and loyalty to the king".

After two months, after many times of debugging and exploration and improvement, all the work of Baiqi is completely on the right track. Now, these 600 or so people are like a sophisticated and complete machine, running in an orderly manner. The whole camp was orderly, full of passion and vitality, but also serious and solemn.

Invisibly, the cohesion of the whole team is constantly strengthening; The personal qualities of each soldier, growing like crazy.

The soldiers of the hundred horsemen themselves don't think it, but Li Shimin, who has been patiently watching, sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart. After listening to Li Junxian's report more than once, he praised Qin Mubai, a young military general. Said, this kid has drive, insight, command ability and personal charm as a general, as well as imagination and creativity. He is quite looking forward to the official debut of Baiqi.

It was at this point that the two-month regular training ended. Qin Mubai asked the emperor for a month of "field training". Pull the army to Zhongnan Mountain or even farther as far as Qinchuan for field training.

Li Shimin agreed very happily.

Six hundred horsemen, with more than 1,000 servants and servants, opened the Xuanwu Gate and went out of Chang'an.

It's a real extreme training and survival test in the wild. Here, Qin Mubai will personally lead these people to train them in field survival, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, and other actual combat projects.

This kind of training is not as simple as training in a camp. In the camp, at most, he was injured in the kickboxing, and his nose and face were swollen and bleeding a little, which was a bit more serious. But this kind of wild training may really kill people. Not to mention anything else, in the reconnaissance and lurking, it is possible to encounter poisonous insects and beasts, may accidentally stumble and fall off the cliff, or it is possible that the art is not proficient and does not actually master the ability to distinguish the direction in the wild, and starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests.

The training was conducted in groups, with different tasks and different roles for each person. In the midst of tension, excitement, excitement and blood, a month of training came to a successful end.

This training session has made everyone realize a fading. After all, everyone grew up in a good family environment, and there are many pampered people, who has really been hungry and suffered? This time, there are people who are hungry enough to eat leaves and snails, and thirsty to drink urine is something that almost everyone has to experience. In addition, there are quite a few people who have suffered minor or serious injuries.

Naturally, there is no shortage of people questioning, what does such a barbaric training have to do with being a guard for the emperor? Qin Mubai's explanation is: This is a test of will. As the best soldier of the Tang Dynasty, if he can't take care of himself under special circumstances, how can he protect the emperor? If the emperor is in danger, whether he is in heaven or on the ground, the hundred horsemen must have the ability to save him from danger. It's harder to be a guard than a killer. As a killer, as long as you succeed once after a hundred failures, that is enough; As a guard, if you succeed a hundred times, as long as you miss once, it is also the end.

Therefore, every soldier in the hundred horsemen must be more powerful than the most powerful killer in the world.

Qin Mubai also said that the three-month training is just the beginning, and the more bitter ones are behind. If you can't stand it, quit by yourself.

The three-month training is over.

For the first time, the emperor personally came to the camp of the hundred horsemen to supervise the assessment of the eighteen skills and political and military orders of the hundred horses.

The hundred horsemen in front of him made Li Shimin, the sixteen-year-old emperor who joined the army and led the troops to fight for more than ten years and finally won the world, his eyes lit up quite amazingly, and he praised it - "This is the most fierce and restrained, the most passionate but the most calm army I have ever seen!" Almost every soldier can become a tiger on the battlefield and a master in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Such an army is unheard of and unseen before. I want to give every soldier of the hundred horsemen a knight! ”

The honorable officer, there is no money, and there is no food and land to match, it is just a title that symbolizes honor, and it is a reward unique to the army to reward those who have military merits, just like the modern medal of 'battle hero'. For example, Qin Shubao is the highest commander - Shangzhu State.

The Hundred Cavalry also became the first army in history to be collectively knighted, and it was without being on the battlefield once.

The results of the "graduation assessment" of the hundred horses were quite cruel. Half of them were eliminated. Among them, most of them are ordinary non-commissioned officers, and there are also low-level officers such as fire captains and team leaders.

After three months of getting along day and night, sharing honor and disgrace, coupled with the mutual encouragement and tempering during the field training and even life and death, all the soldiers in the hundred horsemen have formed a brotherly relationship.

When the results of the assessment were announced, the hundred cavalry soldiers ignored the presence of the emperor, many of them shouted with excitement and couldn't help themselves, and some were so disappointed that they cried like children. Many hugged their heads and cried, or were excited and rejoicing, or did not want to leave the army.

In Qin Mubai's heart, he didn't have deep feelings for all these soldiers. He also wanted to cheer loudly like the rest of the soldiers, or hug some people and cry goodbye. But he just stood calmly on the stage, almost coldly looking at all this in front of him. Because he knows that he now symbolizes the military order of the hundred horsemen, the yardstick to measure all the soldiers, and the military soul of the hundred horsemen.

Usually, Qin Mubai always mingles with the soldiers. But since this special moment, as a commander, a superior and a spiritual totem, he is destined to endure this unbearable taste of high places alone. Even if he is scolded by others as ruthless and ruthless, criticized and hated.
