The seventh day of the seventh month of July is the annual Qixi Qiqiao Festival.

However, the ancients of a few hundred years ago did not have as much business acumen as later generations of merchants, and they were far from thinking that this festival, which was originally just to persuade women to be good at women's popularity, was regarded as a Valentine's Day, so the entire capital could not see any difference between peace and Sunday.

However, after the end of the day, the people in the east of the city saw a scene that they had never imagined before-only saw a group of red robes and fierce brocade guards actually holding their heads high, and the team ran forward along the street in an orderly manner, and soon these hundreds of thousands of people occupied this long street.

At this time, many officials were in a hurry to go to the court, and the people got up early to talk about their day's life, and suddenly saw such a group of brocade guards running from the head, many people couldn't help but be frightened, and some of them were so frightened that their faces were like dirt, and they almost fell to the ground and waited for someone to arrest them.

Because in the eyes of most people, it will definitely not be a good thing for Jinyi Wei to dispatch a large number of horsemen, maybe which adult or family in the city will be copied.

But soon after, everyone found that they were a little too worried, and the teams of brocade guards just ran past them, and they didn't mean to find someone to provoke at all, and after a while, they ran directly out of the Dong'an Gate that had just opened.

Seeing this situation, everyone was a little curious, is this a prisoner who is going out of the city by Jinyiwei? But it's not like ah, I've never heard that Jinyi Wei is going to dispatch thousands of people, and they don't have weapons or chains on them, and they are also on foot, no matter how you look at it, it's very different from usual.

Although they muttered in their hearts, ordinary people still didn't have the courage to chase after them to see what was going on, so they could only put their doubts aside and go their own way. They didn't know that after the thousands of brocade guards left the city gate, they still maintained their speed and ran forward, even if they attracted the attention of the people outside the city, they had no intention of stopping, and only ran along the root of the city wall for more than half an hour, and then they were ordered by the first thousand households, turned the team, and ran back along the original road.

This is one of the indispensable exercises that Lu Zhen instructed them to do every day from today. Originally, he wanted his Jinyi guards to go around the outer city of Beijing directly. However, after being reminded that the city of Beijing is a hundred miles a week, they disagreed with the idea and only let them run back and forth for an hour.

But even if the running distance is shortened, it is an extremely difficult thing for the brocade guards. Before I got back from outside the city, there were already a lot of people there who were snoring and panting, and they couldn't walk anymore.

It's just that there are still Yang Zhen and a few of them staring at it in this team, and when they see someone slowing down, they are angry and reprimanded. Under such encouragement, these people could only grit their teeth and persist even if they couldn't take a step, followed the team hard, and stumbled back to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division in the strange eyes of more people.

And at this time, the time is almost after the end of the day.

Lu Jin, who was waiting in the school field, saw that they couldn't stand the drill so much, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again: "I'll just say that you are far inferior to the former Jinyiwei." Sure enough, after running so much, I was tired and became like this. As he spoke, he glanced at his subordinates who had collapsed to the ground one by one, and shouted, "Get up and stand up straight!" ”

This burst of drinking startled everyone at that time. However, the people who had already learned Lord Lu's methods did not dare to disobey his orders, even if their feet were sore, they could barely support their bodies, but more than half of them were constantly shaking, looking embarrassed.

"You all listen, since our Jinyi Guard is His Majesty's personal guard, he should have an elite appearance. How can someone as weak as you make it? From this day on, everyone has to practice, this run is just the beginning, and there are more things waiting for you to come. Lu Zhen said, a look handed to Qinggele beside him, the latter understood, stepped forward and shouted: "Stand up straight, don't be like a ruffian on the street!" If you can't stand up straight, you will be punished for running five more miles! ”

The effect of these words is still quite significant, as soon as they say it, everyone is busy trying their best to stabilize their figures, but their faces are full of helplessness and difficulty.

However, Lu Zhen didn't let them go, as soon as he raised his hand, he called a guard beside him, and asked him to stand up straight, before he said, "Can you see his posture clearly?" All of them have learned, and they stand like this! From today onwards, you must look like a soldier when you stand, lie and walk. If you practice well, the official will have his own reward, if you are slack and unwilling to practice well, Xue Xing and they are your example! ”

In fact, as a civilian official, Lu Jin's knowledge of military drills is really limited. Fortunately, he also has the identity of a traverser. Since I don't know much about the military drills in this era, I will take the requirements of the military training in later generations and double them on these brocade guards.

So, he created such a new set of training that combines ancient and modern training, so that the guards around him practiced first, and then used it as a pacesetter demonstration for everyone to learn.

When they first saw the simple standing posture of these guards, the brocade guards were not too serious, and they felt that they were just standing, and they could still stump themselves. As long as you wait for yourself to breathe, you will naturally be able to stand up.

But as time went on, they realized that things were far from being as simple as they thought. The breathing was much smoother, but when I stood up straight, my hands and feet and even my whole body were sore for a while, and it seemed that I might fall down at any time.

But under the gaze of Lu Jin, Yang Zhen and others, everyone didn't dare to fall, for fear of following in the footsteps of Xue Xing and them, so they could only grit their teeth and harden their heads. After more than half an hour, after feeling that his legs no longer belonged to him, Lu Jin waved his hand and let them rest on the spot.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after sitting on the ground, they just gasped for breath, but they didn't even have any interest in talking.

At this time, Lu Zhen had already looked at Cui Heng on the side: "Cui Zhenfu can see it, right?" ”

Cui Heng nodded: "I didn't think it before, but just now, everyone stood like this, and it was not easy to understand that this standing was not an easy task." They seemed to be trying to stand up straight, but they were still far from them. ”

"Speechless has to practice." Lu Jin said without giving any room for negotiation: "Only by practicing more can they make progress as soon as possible, so that they can truly become an elite." I can be worthy of His Majesty's trust. "And, when something happens in the capital, I can rely on them to deal with those who are plotting evil.

Because of this plan, the next few days will be uncomfortable for the rest of the Jinyi guards in the Suppression Division. Early in the morning, I have to rush to the yamen Yingmao, and then there is a long-distance run for an hour, and then I practice standing posture, practicing left and right backwards, and practicing walking in unison...... Anyway, as long as Lu Zhen still remembers the things to be trained in military training after entering the university, he will give them all the things.

During this period, naturally some people have expressed dissatisfaction and incomprehension, feeling that whether it is the Jinyi Guard, or the official army, as long as they have practiced the ability to fight and kill the enemy, why practice these stupid things?

In this regard, Lu Jin's answer was very direct: "If you can't even withstand such a small drill, how can I write that you can practice more difficult battles?" If you are tired of shouting about such a thing, why do you have to fight people? ”

It's really hard to refute these words, and with his identity here, even if there is dissatisfaction, he can only endure it.

Over time, however, the discontent faded. Because everyone found that after this month's training according to Lord Lu's request, everyone's spirit has really grown a lot. The people who used to live in a mess have now become energetic, and they naturally have some elite bearing when they sit, lie and walk, even if they have disputes with people outside, their momentum is much stronger than before.

It was only at this time that everyone understood Lu Dudu's hard work, not only did they no longer complain, but they also practiced more diligently and diligently than before, making this Jinyi guard team look more and more majestic and mighty.

At the same time, Lu Jin's reputation in the Zhenfu Division is also higher day by day, and no one dares to question the orders he gave anymore, and even the title has changed from Lord Lu at the beginning to the happy and sincere Governor of Lu.

Even after Xue Xing and the others, who were heavily punished and lost their faces, went back, their families came to calm the Fusi and made a fuss, but they were also pushed back by these brocade guards with a tough attitude. This time, they are completely on Lu Jin's side, and he will no longer be a loner.

Of course, after the internal calmdown, the external problems remain. Seeing that his family was also taught a hard lesson by Jinyiwei, Yang Wuhou was really angry, and immediately went to impeach Lu Zhen for personal vendettas.

For this bullet, Lu Zhen doesn't take it very seriously. He believes that with the trust of the Son of Heaven in himself, let alone such a fictitious impeachment, even if the other party can really come up with some real evidence, I am afraid that he will only stay in the middle and not react.

Seeing that he could deal with the impeachment of Yang Wuhou so easily, those people under him became more and more respectful of Lu Jin, and they were almost convinced.

Lu Jin knew that his goal had been completely achieved. Through such an emphasis on the unity of the exercise, these brocade guards have been worn away a lot of laziness and edges, as long as they persist like this for another year and a half, this brocade guard can become no less than the elite division of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.

But just when he felt a little proud, the bullet seals targeted at him by the court and the central government were once again sent directly to the palace like falling leaves in this autumn day. And this time, they were targeting the drill he thought he was proud of!
