Chapter Ninety-Nine: New Projects

Outside Anlu City, Zhang Xutuo was swinging his hoe to turn over the ground, and his father and son and a group of people around him were officials and family members of the prefectures and counties of the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

They have not yet been convicted, so they don't need to live in a cell, but there are a large number of people, and it is not possible to raise them in vain every day, and now it is September, the autumn harvest has just ended, and the autumn turn is about to begin, because many people are fighting in other places with the Anzhou army, and there is a shortage of manpower, so let them, the 'idlers', go to the official fields to do farm work.

Farm tools such as hoes and shovels are ready-made, so they only need to work hard, and as grassroots officials who are not up or down, they all have some fields at home, and some of them have usually done farm work in order to save the cost of hiring people, so they are also very familiar with it.

"Be serious, everyone is sensible, don't let me whip!" A soldier shouted loudly on the ridge, and many soldiers scattered scattered here and there to supervise the work, because of the rebellion of the Ba Barbarian captives who were coolies in Yongyang City not long ago, and now the supervision of these people has been strengthened a lot.

"I know that some people are not convinced, and if they are not convinced, they will make trouble if they want to die!"

"A few days ago, everyone saw the fate of those Yuzhou troops attacking Anlu, Xiaochang and Yongyang, and they showed their heads to the public!" Another loud voice shouted, "It's one thing to participate in the rebellion in Jingzhou, but now if you are not honest in Anlu, you will die!" ”

Zhang Xutuo sighed helplessly when he listened to these scoldings, his father was a good county official who didn't do anything, but he was moved to Anlu even if he was convicted indiscriminately, I am afraid that he will not be a slave and I don't know when he will be able to return to Nanyang County.

At the far end of the official road, a group of soldiers were running and shouting slogans as they ran, and a soldier guarding the field asked his companion next to him: "Could it be that something is wrong with this?" ”

Another looked at the procession and smiled and said it was a drill. He recognized a few people inside, so this was the new army of the Yuwen Unified Army who was practicing long-distance running: "Na." Sandbags are tied to the legs and armor is worn on the body. And they are the only ones who have practiced like this. ”

Some well-informed people questioned that when wearing armor and running profusely, wouldn't it be that the two crotch armors were wet, and the armor pieces were so sweaty that they were easy to rust, and the nail leaves were grinding back and forth when running, and the leather strips strung with the armor pieces were more likely to be worn out.

"I still have to wipe it after running, and besides, this Yuwen army will still lack armor?" The well-informed soldier gave the answer, "I told you that they practice for three days and take one day off, and they have to run ten miles back and forth once during the exercise!" ”

"How tiring this is, I heard that if you don't run these ten miles, you will have to run laps in the barracks once in the morning and once in the evening." Someone asked again, the military camp of the Yuwen Unified Army is outside Anlu City, so many people know that the soldiers have to run around the school field every morning and evening. Although you don't need to wear armor, it's really unbearable in the long run.

"Tired? Is it so easy for you to get the salary of the Yuwen Army? ”

Some soldiers said that it was nothing anyway, if he could eat enough, even if he could run every day, others sneered when they saw this, and shook out the inside story: The soldiers of the Yuwen Unified Army not only practice during the day, but also practice at night.

"You think that's all there is to it? There are tricks at night! I say to you, "Someone scoffed, and he told him what he saw."

The soldiers of the Yuwen army also have to march at night, and when he was on duty at the head of the city, he had seen these people walking around Anlu without sleeping at night, not allowing them to light torches or talking, and marching in line at every time, which is not enough, and there were 'unexpected surprises' on the way.

"Someone deliberately pretended to be a ghost on the road, wearing a white robe and a ghost mask, and when they came, they turned their heads and looked fixedly, Amitabha. I'm scared to think about it! ”

"It's no wonder that you can fight like this"

"Of course. How do you think the Yuwen army drew a sword and slashed indiscriminately in Gangneung, and the blood flowed like a river? ”

"Didn't you say hey, didn't you say anything about the harem" Someone began to take the wrong topic, and it was rumored that Yuwen Tongjun was in Gangneung City 'lewd \ chaotic Liang State Harem' There are even a lot of colorful descriptions, which is quite attractive to rough embryos.

If it is said that the Yuwen Unified Army single-handedly marched back and forth in the army, did not meet the opponent, or even challenged a number of people, no one was interested, but thought it was nonsense, if you changed the topic and said that the Yuwen Unified Army 'gun' provoked the harem beauties, everyone immediately came to the spirit.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, Yuwen Wen broke into the palace in Jiangling City to help Miss Xiao recognize her relatives, and the matter was sensational at first, but then it was clarified, but people will only pay attention to those so-called fragrant and glamorous scenes, and no one cares what the truth is.

Just as the soldiers were discussing how the Yuwen Unified Army in Jiangling City broke into the palace of Liang State with a single 'gun' and a horse to 'kill', Zhang Xutuo looked at the soldiers running by one after another on the official road in front of him.

"Even the night march is practiced," he muttered to himself, looking at the soldiers with sandbags tied to their feet......

Barracks, a corner of the school field, Yuwenwen and several generals are watching, a few soldiers in front of them are holding something slowly making movements, not long ago Shi Wansui made a suggestion to strengthen the soldiers' empty-handed fighting, weapon fighting and archery training, which all need to rely on equipment to help exercise arm strength, and now it is Yuwenwen showing exercise equipment.

"It's called a dumbbell, and it's a little different from a stone lock that exercises arm strength." Yu Wenwen took a thing in his hand and said to others, this thing with a wooden pole and a stone cake at both ends is the dumbbell he made for people.

The ancient traditional equipment is a stone lock, the second is a stone burden, the shape of the stone arm is exactly the same as the barbell of later generations, and the dumbbell made by Yuwenwen is a miniature version of the stone burden, the dumbbell and the stone lock are to practice the strength of the upper limbs, but the emphasis is different.

The biggest difference between them is the center of gravity, the same is the center of gravity of the dumbbell in the hand, but the center of gravity of the stone lock is outside, so the effect of practicing is different: the stone lock dances with a throwing force, that is, with centrifugal force, holding the dumbbell even the strength is not easy to hurt, but the stone lock should pay attention to the action.

"This dumbbell seems to be able to punch with weights." Shi Wansui waved the dumbbell and said, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very familiar with stone locks and stone burdens, but this 'dumbbell' is the first time he has used it, but he still recognizes it.

"If you don't pay attention to the stone lock, it's easy to sprain your wrist. Dumbbells are better. After Yu Wenwen finished speaking, he motioned to a soldier with dumbbells in both hands and danced according to the set of movements he had taught earlier.

Dumbbells are a common workout equipment in modern times, so Yuwenwen has no doubts about its workout effect. Originally, it was intended to be made of iron, but in this era, there was still a shortage of iron, and if you wanted to give soldiers large-scale exercise, you still had to follow the traditional way: a wooden stick and two stone cakes.

Chen Wudi and the others nodded involuntarily after watching the soldier demonstrate it. They have also practiced stone locks in the army, and they know that one of the more troublesome things is that it is easy to sprain their wrists if they don't move properly, and with this dumbbell, it is not so difficult to practice for people who are at least just getting started.

Shi Wansui heard Yu Wenwen say that practicing according to certain movements can also achieve the effect of practicing arm pull, which is considered to be doubtful, he still thinks that the stone lock is more reliable to practice, as for the other party's 'wide grip distance forehand pull-up' can also practice arm pull-up, he still doesn't believe it: what pull-up is similar to 'hanging' really effective?

"Commander of the army, the stone lock will be thrown up when practicing, which is very important for practicing the finger strength and grip strength of the hand." He was afraid that Yu Wenwen would not know the benefits of the stone lock, so he began to explain that it was precisely because of this characteristic of the stone lock that it was very useful for soldiers to fight.

For cavalry, to dance long and heavy, the lance must at least be held firmly, as well as the armor-piercing shovel, whip, and hammer. Wielding a long knife in foot combat also requires strengthening the wrist by practicing stone locks on weekdays.

The team leader Lai Hu'er also expressed his opinion: when practicing the stone lock, it will be thrown up, so you must practice to be able to grasp it, and the action of rolling the stone lock is closer to the entanglement and mutual grasp during hand-to-hand combat, which means that the stone lock can be used to practice fighting.

Yu Wenwen knew that what the other party said could be summed up as practicing 'controlling the center of gravity', so he practiced the stone lock to fight the centrifugal force, so the waist and limbs also practiced together by the way, he was not a martial artist, so he didn't know if the practice of the stone lock was scientific, but since there is an improved version of the stone lock in modern times-kettlebell-so he did not reject practicing the stone lock.

"You can practice often with dumbbells to strengthen your arms, and you can practice with stone locks." He made a decision, the effect of dumbbells is absolutely fine, so he has to speak with facts, as for Shi Suo, it must be carried out under the guidance of Shi Wansui and other 'experts', Yu Wenwen doesn't want to make the soldiers he raised crippled.

When the soldiers began training in February this year, Yu Wenwen taught the soldiers according to their aptitude in response to the actual situation of malnutrition and lack of exercise. Of course, the strength should be practiced, but as soon as it comes up, it will be practiced with equipment, and I am afraid that it will pull out the seedlings to help grow, so most of the exercises arranged are push-ups, pull-ups and other practice subjects, because the situation is to become an army within half a year, so the top priority is to strengthen the queue and professional skills: spears, lunges, archery, and a very small part of the physical fitness of the two hands long knife.

The actual effect is okay after actual combat. The professional skills are all well practiced, and they are considered to be qualified, but now since Shi Wansui has raised the shortcomings, the soldiers' personal skills are not perfect, and they are not good at fighting with both bare hands and knives. In response to this suggestion, Yu Wenwen now decided to train the soldiers to increase their strength.

To practice drawing the arch, it is necessary to strengthen the exercise of the latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major muscle, shoulder girdle, and deltoid muscles, and he can't explain this kind of human body structure knowledge to people of this era, so he can only make people bored to do it, and the most important thing is to make a suitable exercise equipment.

Of course, it is best to practice with a drawer, but the price is too high - a bow is time-consuming and expensive to make, and if you pull more, it will be bad, Yuwenwen has not yet reached the point where he has a number of war bows to practice tensile force, and the spring tensioner can't do it, so he wants to 'get on the horse'.

Nowadays, it is more appropriate to practice pulling with dumbbells and wide grip distance forehand pull-ups, he does not explain the specific principle, as long as the soldiers are allowed to practice for a period of time, they will naturally see, as for the training of strength, he has two more violent items.

These two items are the standard methods for tough guys to practice strength, of course, the damage to the body is also irreversible, Yu Wenwen decided to put forward it first, so that everyone has a concept, and then gradually summarize the lessons in the practice.

"There are two exercises for this stone burden, one is called deadlift, and the other is called squat!"

Hearing these two terms, everyone present looked at each other: Could it be that he squatted and with a stone pole? Yuwen Wen signaled the guard soldier Li Shimo to come forward to demonstrate, and the first demonstration was deadlift.

Li Shimo stood in front of the stone burden, stood with his feet in a figure-eight shape and bent his knees, his hands were holding the stone shoulder, the distance between his hands was about the width of his shoulders, his head was slightly raised, his chest and back were tense, and his upper body leaned forward, and when Yuwenwen gave an order, he stretched his knees with both legs and lifted the stone burden, and when he reached the highest point, he stopped for a moment with his shoulders abducted and raised his head and chest, and after stagnation for about three or four breaths, he bent his knees and slowly descended to restore.

"It's a bending knee deadlift, followed by a straight-leg deadlift."

Straight-legged deadlift, as the name suggests, is the opposite of bending the knee deadlift, and the knees can't bend in the whole process of pulling up the stone burden, everyone didn't feel how to see Li Shimo's demonstration like this, it can be seen that he gritted his teeth and couldn't help but gasp after completing the weight-bearing squat: Is the sixty or seventy pound stone burden such a 'squat' method still a person?

"There are a lot of essentials of weight-bearing squats, and it is easy to hurt the body if you are not careful, so you should slowly explore the method of exercise." Yu Wenwen looked around his hands and said, "The dumbbells and stone danben will be prepared in sufficient quantities, and the drill content will be set within three days, and the training items will start on the fourth day." ”

Yuwen Wen had just negotiated a big business, and a large amount of money had arrived, so he began to burn the bun again: "Just practice, enough meat!" (To be continued.) )
