"Time to rest for a stick of incense." After Zhang Yue trained them for another hour, he saw that the sun at this time was too poisonous, and the soldiers were all too sunburned, so he had to let them rest for a while. According to his heart, in order to let them master walking in unison and walking in step as soon as possible, he was unwilling to let them rest with a flick of his fingers.

But speaking of which, Zhang Yue himself was also basking in the sun, although he was not very tired, but he was also covered in sweat. He put the pony he had brought with him under the shade of a tree, picked up a fan and fanned it.

was fanning, and the corner of his eye felt that someone was coming, and when he looked up, he saw Mei Shunchang, the commander of the avant-garde of the government army, and Mei Shunchang, the commander with a very strange name, and I also came to stand next to me with a few personal soldiers.

He immediately stood up and saluted the two of them. Mei Shunchang is the son of Princess Ningguo, and now Mei Yin is also more important, he doesn't dare to be disrespectful; The way this is called my coming is very mysterious, and His Majesty can't figure out his way, and he has very high martial arts, so he won't be offended.

Mei Shunchang saw him and smiled: "Zhang Yue, the commander asked me to come over to see the practice, but I didn't expect it to be just in time for you to rest." ”

"If Mei Tongzhi wants to see them practice, Xia Guan can let them continue to practice now. However, they are not making good progress now. Zhang Yue said.

"What? What's so hard about that? Even if the queue is not neat, but it is not okay to turn left or right? Probably have a shelf, right? Asked suspiciously.

He really doesn't think it's difficult, it's just that he walks right, but his feet hurt, although the practice posture is definitely not standard at the beginning, but there is always a shelf. Not only him, but I also showed a puzzled look when I came here.

Zhang Yue smiled bitterly: "Two adults, you can just take a look." ”

Immediately the rest time for a stick of incense came, Zhang Yue asked them to get up and continue practicing, Mei Shunchang and I came to understand why Zhang Yue smiled bitterly just now.

The soldiers of this hundred households are practicing very hard, Zhang Yue is not lazy at all, he is very serious in guiding, and from the reactions of the people around him, it can be seen that he is not so serious in guiding because the two of them came, but the level of this hundred households can be said to be miserable.

I also muttered softly: "It turns out that the army of the Ming Dynasty is still a relatively elite army, and it is so difficult to carry out new training, which is far inferior to ....... But there are too many people in the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than two million troops in the imperial court, not counting the Tusi army that can be mobilized, even if it can be used as ten, it will be drowned. What's more, it is impossible to really treat one as ten. ”

Mei Shunchang naturally didn't hear what I said, seeing them behaving like this, he was very worried, and suddenly turned his head to me and said, "I'm here, do you have a way to let them quickly improve their level, at least they can look like they have a shelf?" ”

He was also sick and rushed to the doctor. However, since I came in November last year to serve as a commander in the vanguard of the government army to teach martial arts, I can also be said to have become famous, and I am very famous among the Jingwei, and his conversation shows that he has received a good education, and even fought somewhere, so Mei Shunchang will suddenly ask him this question.

I was stunned for a moment, and then shook my head. He had thought about it, but he couldn't solve it. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were basically illiterate, they couldn't read a single big character, and they couldn't even distinguish between left and right, so he didn't have any way.

However, he immediately comforted: "Mei Tongzhi, the hundred households of our guards are like this, and the other guards are also similar, so the students of the martial arts hall will be better." Since everyone is similar, it may not be the last place. Maybe you can get the first straight guard. ”

Mei Shunchang thought about it, and this was indeed the case, so he could only accept this comfort. However, he immediately perked up again: "Maybe the students who teach the martial arts hall are not very good, and they are not as good as the soldiers in the guard." ”

I didn't speak, but I could tell from his expression that he didn't approve.

……

……

If the students of the martial arts hall heard Mei Shunchang's words, most of them might not be able to speak, but they would definitely not agree with me.

Because they practice really well, although the movements are not very standard, but the shelves have come out.

Originally, the students of the martial arts hall didn't care about practicing this, but after hearing that His Majesty also asked Shang Zhiwei to choose a hundred households to practice walking in unison and walking in steps, they also raised their spirits. It is nothing that the ranks of the various classes within the martial arts hall are ranked first and last, but if they lose to the ordinary soldiers of the guard, they can't accept it.

They are all elites selected from the country's army, each can be said to be both civil and military, if they lose to ordinary soldiers who can't read a big character and can't distinguish between left and right, then they are still elites?

Therefore, all squads practiced intensively, hoping not to lose to the soldiers of the upper guard in the review in a month's time.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and each class began to practice under the leadership of the class leader.

Yu Zhouwen and Zheng Xuan were awakened by the sound of these students shouting slogans. Because the rent in the capital was not cheap, the two of them also found a dormitory to live in the lecture hall. Because of his low qualifications, he naturally lived in the worst place, and he couldn't sleep early in the morning and was woken up.

The two of them were in a dormitory, and when they looked out the window, they saw countless students walking in a queue of guards teaching.

"I said that it was impossible for the guards to come over this early morning, and that they were practicing on their own. However, it is not difficult, and it is possible to practice on your own. Zheng Xuan said.

Yu Zhouwen thought of another thing: "Zheng Xuan, why did you say that Your Majesty would ask Shangzhiwei to also select a hundred soldiers to practice this walking in unison and walking in steps, and also review it with the students of the martial arts hall?" ”

"If each guard is allowed to draw a small number of literate soldiers and some generals to form a team, it may not lose to the students of the martial arts hall, but no matter how you look at it, it is absolutely impossible for the ordinary soldiers of the guard to compare with the students of the martial arts hall."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Xuan asked.

"In my opinion, this should be His Majesty's motivation to teach the students of the Martial Arts Hall. The two of us studied here for two years before, and now we are working as secretaries, so we can see that the atmosphere of the martial arts hall seems to be a little slack, and Your Majesty should also know it. The year before last, His Majesty and Vice President Jin had rectified once, but it was only for a while, and then it was slackened, so His Majesty came up with a new way to boost the atmosphere. Yu Zhouwen said.

Zheng Xuan thought about it, felt that it made sense, and said, "That's probably the case." Your Majesty is still very good at finding a way. ”
