What kind of power the military sticks, big boards, and whips are Xiao Xuan is not very clear. However, according to the impression, since the ancient law has been eighty or hundreds of times, unless it is a specially practiced strong suit or some special skills when fighting, seven strokes should not make people unable to stand up? In the case of uncertainty, in order not to let too many children have accidents or get injured, Xiao Xuan still told the entourage who went to get the equipment to choose some short sticks that were not too heavy in addition to torches. And Xiao Xuan also believes that these young temporary officers and temporary non-commissioned officers will eventually have some friendship with each other when they first arrived, and the obedientness shown by these people at the beginning should be more or less honest children, and they should not be too heavy. Seven people take turns, and keep rotating, it is easy to avoid too much pressure and harm caused by a few ruthless people?

In order to avoid accidents, Xiao Xuan was still on the side for more than an hour, and saw that after the initial panic and anxiety, no one dared to squat down after less than 20 people were beaten in a row, and even finally stiffened and did not dare to move, Xiao Xuan's heart finally relaxed.

It was not yet late autumn, but there seemed to be a little chill in the bleak autumn wind. Xiao Xuan ordered eighty officers and non-commissioned officers to divide into two shifts to take turns to watch over the more than 400 soldiers on the school grounds, and later asked for a short stick to correct them even with a slight twist.

At this time, Xiao Xuan, who had been busy with the teenagers for a whole day and a night, also felt a little tired, and was thinking about whether to go back to sleep, but after thinking about it, it was better to follow the teenagers to train together. At least, his own amount of maneuver could not be inferior to those temporary officers and non-commissioned officers, so it was not until late at night that Xiao Xuan finally decided to follow the officers on shift to go back to rest.

Zhou Yufeng, Tian Xiuying and others have been living in the side tent of the handsome tent according to the arrangement, and they can't help but be a little worried when they see Xiao Xuan's strict requirements for the officers and soldiers. When Xiao Xuan returned to the camp, he also rushed over to catch the wind.

Zhou Yufeng is not familiar with military affairs, but Tian Xiuying knows a little about this, and said to Xiao Xuan with some worry: "The concubine did hear from my father that the army will be stricter for a few more elite battalion leaders, especially when the recruits have just entered the camp, it is also the new officer who takes office three times, but does the emperor really plan to continue according to this requirement?" It must be known that the head of Qi Shaobao's camp back then was only stricter during the assessment. The daily life of the barracks will still give the soldiers enough space... ”

Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and then replied: "Qi Shaobao's thousands of people were selected from among the miners and mountain people in the land where the people of Zhejiang were strong, and these people probably participated in a lot of decent fights since they were young. Although these hundreds of people are considered to be one out of ten, and they are all relatively suitable young soldiers with little age difference, most of them are from Pingchuan, the suburbs near the Beijing Division, and they are not too good geographically. ”

"Why is the emperor so urgent? It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while... Not long after Tian Xiuying said it, she seemed to understand something in Xiao Xuan's eyes. There is no doubt that this is not the time for the new emperor Chongzhen to stabilize the country, not to mention the distant Jiannu, but to say that Wei Zhongxian's party has not been cleaned up in front of him.

Xiao Xuan added: "I got the revelation of the Emperor of Heaven in my dream: in about two years, the Dongyu will break through the barrier and enter the Jingshi, and there will be a crisis. External dangers are also worthy of our attention... ”

"The concubine understood... Tian Xiuying didn't say anything more.

Zhou Yufeng was a little sullen when he saw that Xiao Xuan had been ignoring him, and wanted to muster up the courage to persuade him more, but he saw Xiao Xuan's somewhat resolute and stern gaze. "It's late at night, and there may be a lot of things going on tomorrow, so hurry up and go to someone!" Xiao Xuan said somewhat resolutely to Zhou Yufeng.

At this time, Wang Chengen saw that Xiao Xuan had no intention of returning to the palace for a while, and he paid attention to the decision, and gave up his plan to persuade the emperor to return to the palace for a while. In the secret place not far from the Imperial Horse Supervision School, he finally made a final showdown to Pang Tianshou: "How much does Gonggong Pang know how much about the Chinese and Western art of war, can you tell the miscellaneous family: Is it really feasible for the saint to train and lead the troops?" Is there really any hope that we will be able to train an army worthy of war in a short period of time? If the saint doesn't plan to return to the palace, this is our only hope of turning the tables... ”

Pang Tianshou looked a little melancholy at this time, but after thinking about it, he still felt that although the new emperor did not completely follow the rhythm of most military books from selection to training, the common military methods seemed to be somewhat different, but it should still work. At least judging from the fact that the new emperor knows how to win over a group of more obedient people in the battalion as backbones and treat them differently from ordinary soldiers, he doesn't look like a layman.

At this time, the situation and the balance of power in the palace were far opposite to the four guards and warrior battalions of Long Xiang in charge of Pang Tianshou and the inner court army personally controlled by Wei Zhongxian in the palace. The four guards and the warrior camp are well-armed, but not only are they inferior to the inner court army in terms of numbers, but there are also many imperial relatives who almost don't know how much combat power they have.

Of course, this does not mean that Wei Zhongxian's inner court army is a strong force. It is also impossible to make those in power in the palace, large and small, who have a lot of status, become forbidden to dare to fight and be brave and fearless in the environment of the palace. The two garbage armies inside and outside the palace with their own characteristics are relatively bad, and generally speaking, the defending side has at least a little bit of combat effectiveness to defend its own interests and rely on high walls to fight, while the attacking side has completely lost its combat momentum. To a large extent, this is also one of the reasons why Wei Zhongxian did not dare to have a complete showdown inside and outside the palace.

"Our family thinks that although these routines of the saint are not in accordance with the way in most military books, they should be okay. As long as these children can be obedient, dare to consume, and have the most basic ability to fight in a few months, then armed with sophisticated firearms and equipment, even if they cannot lay the overall situation, they can also win the ability and opportunity to prevent trouble... ”

Hearing Pang Tianshou's words, Wang Chengen's somewhat worried heart was slightly relaxed, and he just remembered something and advised: "Since this is the case, then you can only try it on this new road of seeking power, but the next few months are particularly critical." If Wei Gelding invites the emperor to enter the palace alone, don't allow it. Our family suspects that since the saint left the inner court, the Qianqing Palace is probably out of control... ”
