"Sixth sentinel, put!" Mu Ning waved his hand, and the twenty-five soldiers with their bows and oblique fingers loosened their hands on the strings, and the eager feathers broke through the air, shooting at the target on the grass in the distance on the opposite side with a sharp wind.

The accuracy is good, Guan Zhuofan, who was standing behind Lao Mu, looked at the arc of the arrow and thought in frustration.

The accuracy is good, but it is useless.

After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Guan Zhuofan's Xiying horse team began training. There are a total of eight sentinels, three sentries are on duty every day, one sentry is resting, and the other four sentries are led by Ding Shijie and Daniel Zhang in turn, and they will not relax every day.

The content of the training is horse riding, slashing, and archery. The reason for his frustration is that he thinks that these three contents are meaningless—it is already the era of foreign guns and foreign artillery, and these training contents of the cold weapon era may not be of much help in the future. Like at Bali Bridge, more than 20,000 cavalry repeated attacks were tragic, and in exchange for the death of more than 60 people in the Anglo-French military region, this was the result of Zuihou breaking through the French artillery array.

However, you have to practice if it doesn't work! Although the content is meaningless, the form is meaningful, which is why he insists on training. This idea came from a conversation between Xu Gengshen and him before the Chinese New Year.

"Yixuan, do you know that Feiyang Gu has three unique mental methods for leading soldiers?" After Xu Gengshen accepted the Huzhou Wolf Hao and Duan Yan sent by him, he exchanged a few words of greeting, and then chatted with him about the "military affairs" that both of them were most interested in.

"Ask Master Xu, what are those three mental methods?" Feiyanggu was a famous general in the Kangxi Dynasty, swept away Zhun Geer, and shocked Mobei for more than ten years, and was a person who had been awarded the title of first-class duke, Guan Zhuofan naturally knew him. Now when I hear Xu Gengshen mention it, my spirit is lifted, and my heart says that this is a martial arts cheat, can I listen to it?

"Hey, how many times have you said it, don't call me Lord Xu." Xu Gengshen corrected him, and then said: "First, discipline can't be chi, once the military discipline of the army is relaxed, it is not easy to think about rebuilding the tree, I think you have done a good job of this." ”

Guan Zhuofan thanked him, thinking to himself, it seems that the fifty military sticks left a deep impression on Xu Geng's body.

"The second is that the salary is not sufficient, and the soldiers have too much money, so they are unwilling to work hard when they fight. Of course, it's not that you don't send it, but you use the rest of the money on the cutting edge. Xu Gengshen looked at Guan Zhuofan and smiled, "This one, Yixuan, you may not be able to use it, so listen to it." ”

Guan Zhuofan saw him smiling, and there was a bit of a taste of autumn in it. He knew that what Xu Geng was referring to was the matter of the money he had given to the camp, and then he thought of the "won" 2,800 taels of silver, and couldn't help laughing.

"The third is that soldiers can't be idle," Xu Gengshen said solemnly, "Idle will cause trouble!" The so-called household hub does not beetle, running water does not rot, and no matter how sharp the knife and gun are, if they are not used, they will always rust. No matter how haode the army is, if it always sits still, it will definitely rot. In the end, it is necessary to find something to do! ”

The words "nothing to do" gave Guan Zhuofan a great inspiration. In the modern army, the internal affairs regulations are almost harsh, and it takes a lot of time to train and compete in the quilt alone, and to fold the angular tofu blocks. He once thought this was a ridiculous thing, but now he understands that this is really the true meaning of "soldiers cannot be idle".

"Xiexie Xu-sama!" This casual conversation made Guan Zhuofan feel that he benefited a lot, and he got up and took a deep look.

Seeing that Guan Zhuofan was still an "adult", Xu Geng could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly.

Then, let's train the army, Guan Zhuofan thought, if it's useless, you have to practice......

"Eighth sentry, put!" With a wave of his hand, Ixan sent another volley of arrows through the air.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, their accuracy is good." Guan Zhuofan said to Daniel Zhang standing beside him, "Shoot one more round, collect the team and go back to the camp for dinner, prepare the horse after noon, and practice for forty miles!" ”

"Huh!" During training, Daniel Zhang did not dare to have a smile on his face.

At this moment, a herald galloped over from the camp, got off the horse, touched the ground on one knee, and gave Guan Zhuofan a military salute with his right hand on his flat chest: "Guan Qianzong, Fuzuo will send you to see him." ”

This time, the horse team transferred from Kyoto was divided into two battalions, east and west, with a total of 500 people, all of whom were under the command of this Fuzo. His name is Fu Cheng'an, who belongs to the blue flag, and is a distant relative of Prince Zheng Duanhua, and Duanhua is also the owner of the blue flag.

Fuchengan people are very mediocre, the most timid and afraid of things, relying on the grace of the ancestors on the military merits, in order to do the five products of the leader, the motto on weekdays, is not to seek merit, but to seek no fault. Guan Zhuofan opened the way with a silver ticket and perfunctory him, but the evaluation of him in his heart was the sentence "You don't hate it, but it's useless".

Listening to him talk about himself now is a rare thing. So he took Tulin and beat the horse to the garrison of the Dongying horse team - the military tent of Fucheng'an, which was set up with the Dongying horse team, five miles away from Guan Zhuofan's defense area.

Fu Chengan, who was born white and fat, really doesn't look like a military attaché. He was very polite to Guan Zhuofan, and when he met, he didn't wait for Guan Zhuofan to salute, so he affectionately pulled him to sit down and let him watch the tea left and right. Accompanying him was Mr. Lin Qianzong of the Dongying Horse Team.

Guan Zhuofan knows that this is more or less the effect of his silver ticket. Twice before and after, fifty taels were given when the opening was opened, and one hundred taels were presented as a New Year's gift, so there is such treatment now.

"Yixuan, I heard that you have been training recently, and you are in full swing," Fu Chengan drank tea and spoke, "What a hero is a young man, his ambition is commendable, his ambition is commendable!" ”

"Xiexie-sama compliments." Guan Zhuofan replied respectfully, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: Don't look at this Fu Cheng'an who has no knowledge, this sentence is very literal.

"Mmmm, it's not a compliment, you deserve it." Fu Chengan smiled, praised Guan Zhuofan again, and then changed the conversation: "It's just that at this time, the weather is cold, and we as commanders must also be more sympathetic to the difficulties of the soldiers, if there are any serious injuries and diseases, it will not be good." ”

Guan Zhuofan was a little confused, and he didn't know what he wanted to say: "Mark it as reckless, and please make it clear." ”

"I heard that these days, there have been several people in Xiying who fell from their horses and were injured, and there were also those who twisted their tendons from archery and were cut while playing with knives, adding up to several people. Are there any of these things? ”

Yes, there is, but doesn't this mean that the soldiers can't be trained without training? Besides, the injuries aren't that exaggerated.

"If you go back to your lordship, there are two who fell from the horse, and the injuries are not serious. If you lose your tendons when you draw the bow, just rest for a few days. The one with the knife wound was accidentally scratched by himself when he practiced chopping, and it was not in the way. ”

"That said, but more is always better than less." Fu Chengan said very seriously, with a serious look, "We are the Yamen of the Infantry Army, and after the emperor returns to Luan, we still have to go back to take care of the affairs in Sijiu City, and these field battles are not very useful." Besides, there are so many soldiers in Rehe, and each family and battalion are guarding themselves, only your Xiying horse team makes such a big movement every day, what should people do if they compare it? ”

Guan Zhuofan was silent, and then looked at Lin Qianzong next to him with a smirk, and kept nodding his head, and suddenly realized: I said how can Fu Chengan know so much, naturally Lin Qianzong inquired about it and reported it to him.

"Yixuan, you see that even the emperor's favorite Shenji Battalion hasn't practiced, why should we bother to pull out this top? I see, let's take care of our own defense areas, and for other things, we should be quiet, quiet. ”

That's a bit of a rhetoric. The Shenji Battalion is full of firearms, even if you want to practice, who would dare to fire guns and cannons around the palace? Unless it's a headless one.

After saying these words, Guan Zhuofan couldn't cry or laugh, and then looked at Fu Chengan's fat face, and the perception of him in his heart was not quite the same as before.

You're still useless, but you're getting a little annoying.

Guan Zhuofan returned to the camp and called Daniel Zhang and Ding Shijie, and the three discussed together for a long time, but they could not make a good decision. Daniel Zhang cursed, saying that Lin Qian was always in charge of the black situation and wanted to take people to secretly ambush, and he shot him with an arrow.

Of course, this is angry talk, Guan Zhuofan didn't bother to talk about him, he just thought that his plan for military training was about to be abandoned halfway.

What he didn't expect was that an incident happened two days later, which not only allowed his jihua to be uninterrupted, but also to carry it on with great fanfare.

The consul general was in charge of the affairs of the battalion, and Prince Zheng Duanhua, who was in charge of the Rehe Forbidden Army, had a whim and wanted to go to the battalions to see the exercises.
