Chapter 159: Let's practice military posture

The next day, Xu Qing woke up early, just because there was a wave of slogans from this Xuanwu Gate. Putting on the official robe, Xu Qing picked up the mouthwash cup and began to rinse his mouth in front of the school field, originally wanting to make the group of people envious, but found that the soldiers were all outside, and the school field was empty.

From the inner gate to the outer gate, there is not only a school field under the door, but also a section of the city wall on both sides, and Xu Qing walked over from there. But seeing that outside the Xuanwu Gate, there were a total of forty phalanxes, running there, and when he heard the footsteps, Xu Qing felt that today was different.

I saw the soldiers shouting the sixteen-character slogan, running and walking, and most of the footsteps were stepping on the point, which sounded much more pleasing to the ear.

I don't know who saw Xu Qing appear on the city wall, and the phalanx slowly ran in front of Xu Qing, one to six teams, lined up in the first line, and hundreds of auxiliaries lined up in the second line. When all the soldiers were in place, the six teams were led by Zhuge Yan and slowly walked to Xu Qing's eyes.

On the city wall, Xu Qing held on to the city wall, examining the three thousand soldiers and horses, Zhuge Yan shouted: "General, we are conducting morning exercises, and I ask the general to instruct ......"

Xu Qing said in his heart, shouldn't he cough twice now, and then shout to continue training. However, Xu Qing said: "The soldiers have all had breakfast? ”

Zhuge Yan arched his hand and said: "General, the soldiers have been exercising in the morning since they got up, and they haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

Xu Qing nodded and said: "Okay, one hour, everyone will go back to the camp to bury the pot and cook, and after an hour, the standing guard who should stand guard, if there is no standing guard task, will gather in this place now, and the general has something to tell you." ”

"Whoa!"

With the lesson Xu Qing had given them before, the six teams and Zhuge Yan were all in a hurry. An hour is two hours, which is not enough or less time to rush back to cook, eat, and come over.

After an hour and a half, Xu Qing also made breakfast and ate, and when he came to the front of the door, all the soldiers had already arrived. It's just that there is still a team to stand guard, Xu Qing did not stand on the door wall, but walked out of the Xuanwu Gate and walked in front of the soldiers.

Coughing twice, Xu Qing drank: "From today on, everyone must train military posture, lie like a bow, stand like a pine, walk with a gust of wind, and sit like a bell without moving." The five of you are coming, Zhuge Yan, go and call the one standing guard, you go and guard the inner door. ”

Xu Qing let the soldiers rest on the spot, made them stand up, and then told them according to the standing and resting in his memory, of course, although this is a show, it is just beautiful, but it can exercise people's discipline and team awareness. What Xu Qing wants now is an army that obeys his command, not an army that can go into battle to kill the enemy, what Xu Qing wants is to add his habits and thoughts to the entire army. As for the actual combat ability, Xu Qing plans to teach the flower frame well first, and then look for it.

Moreover, the soldiers present, as well as a large part of the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army, coupled with their previous training, their combat effectiveness is also at the middle and upper level of the large * team. In the future, there will be a martial arts person who will be incorporated into the army, and the combat effectiveness will be improved, but how to make the martial arts people successfully increase their force value as soon as possible, Xu Qing thought of the method, one is this kind of showmanship, and the other is more old-fashioned, such as loving soldiers like children, so that they are moved.

Xu Qing didn't wear armor or hold a knife, so he first demonstrated the appearance of standing upright to the six teams, Xu Qing did not copy the later generations, so he put his heels together and straddled. Then let the six teams correct and demonstrate the standard big * posture. However, Datang does not have a standard military posture at all. Xu Qing asked them to find a few good-looking soldiers and asked them to stand in the most energetic posture, and Xu Qing corrected them one by one, creating a standard for himself.

The equipment of the standing soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was a horizontal knife, an iron spear and a bow and arrow, Xu Qing ordered them to straddle the horizontal knife on the left waist, put the quiver behind the right waist, hold the gun in their right hand, and the bow and arrow straddle the shoulder diagonally on the left. Armor, with straight scales on the front and back, the front is vertical to the crotch, and the back covers the waist, and is tied tightly at the waist with a rope. And helmets, iron, the rest are cloth.

Xu Qing took a look and saw that the armor of these people in his camp was not particularly new, some of the iron sheets had fallen off, and the helmets had also been recessed. Therefore, when I was teaching Lizheng, I asked a little bit, how much does this armor cost, and the team is returning, and the ordinary soldiers are down, it is eight catties of iron, and this iron is three dollars a pound in the blacksmith shop, and the price is no longer increased to make simple things, but to make complex things, you have to add additional money.

Xu Qing calculated, a body is almost three taels of silver, this is too expensive, even if the money for eating is taken out, it is not enough for these three thousand people to exchange.

Xu Qing asked again, if I rebuild the old iron sheet, will the price be much cheaper? The team nodded immediately, this furnace is built, saving labor, labor and firewood, and it is much cheaper, as long as it costs a pound of iron. Xu Qing calculated again, all the armor of the people present was rebuilt, and it only took more than two thousand taels. Although there are still a lot, Xu Qing can still deduct it.

It's just that Xu Qing is reluctant to pay for himself, the last time Xu Qing sold immortal brew and made a lot of money, now as long as he writes home, he will definitely be able to remit a lot of silver.

In front of the military formation, Xu Qing worked for most of the hour, and finally taught two soldiers who could speak well and coordinate their limbs, and those teams were also able to stand up to the standard, but their mouths were relatively stupid.

Xu Qing shouted again: "All the guys come to the front!" ”

But seeing the forty gang leaders standing in front of Xu Qing in unison, Xu Qing looked at the gang leader's equipment and found that their armor was not a few scale armor made of iron sheets, but a whole piece of curved armor in front of him, and the scale armor behind him. The helmet also has a little more stuff, and there is a red-dyed chicken feather on the top.

Xu Qing instructed the team members who had been taught to hand them over to the gang leader again. In front of the military formation, the team was smiling maliciously and taking their men aside.

"Chest up! Rise! Tummy tucked! ”

"The brain has been kicked by a donkey!

"Are you an old lady?"

Xu Qing's head is full of black lines, isn't this what he scolded just now? Those people are so slow to learn military posture, but they didn't expect to learn to scold so quickly. Xu Qing shook his head and went back to the mansion to drink tea.

As soon as he entered the house, Wei Xian came with a letter, Xu Qing opened it and saw that it was from home. I saw that from top to bottom, the five women all wrote a short paragraph by themselves.

"Xu Lang, Xu Wen has been very obedient these days, but you are not there, and he laughs less. I'll see you another day......"

"Brother Xu, the foundation of the new house has been laid, and we are just waiting for the bricks to be stacked. To the east is ......"

"Young master, the one in the belly is stable......"

"Bad guy, what did you eat today, do you want to make you some food and send it over? Alas, thinking that you are in the palace......"

"Stupid, you are not allowed to ask someone to write a letter to your family in the future!"
