Chapter 19: Taking the Initiative (2)
"You may wonder why I didn't reveal my identity before, because I didn't want to use the power that comes with my status and status to force you. It is hoped that you will be able to truly identify with you from the heart of the "I" to you as a whole whole. I hope that you will be able to understand my painstaking efforts after learning the truth of the matter. You are not teenagers from remote mountainous areas where the news is closed, but from the suburbs of Beijing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you should not be in a state of ignorance about some major events inside and outside, right? Do you know that today's Daming has been crumbling with internal and external troubles? There are Jiannu eyeing the outside, and Wei rebels controlling the government and trying to rebel inside? You are now faced with a choice: to be purged as the emperor's henchmen by the usurping ministers, and executed in a very simple way by smashing your legs with a hammer in a very simple way, as the Southern Song Dynasty and Han Xuan did. Or: Use the sophisticated equipment that you have become familiar with and master these days to shoot those rebellious ministers and thieves who are not much more numerous than you, and who have lost their combat effectiveness in the palace, into sieves and stabbed into meat skewers, and create a great cause that is rare in a lifetime. You should know that the core of an emperor should rely on at least 10,000 or even 100,000 reliable pro-troops. As long as they are brave now and not afraid of sacrifice, the vast majority of people can become officers who are close to the Son of Heaven who will glorify future generations, and have the wealth that will be passed on to the world... ”
Because I am afraid that the listeners will listen to the back and forget the front one. Xiao Xuan did not speak at length, but solemnly changed the speech that had been rehearsed many times and had been slightly scrutinized. At this time, Xiao Xuan was also very grateful to the Chinese teacher who was very open-minded in middle school Chinese class, and everyone had to take turns to speak for a few minutes before class, so many people got exercise.
Simple words, Xiao Xuan was afraid that he would not be able to let this group of "Fira" in the suburbs of Beijing really work hard. Therefore, the first is to exaggerate the consequences of failure or not to do it with you, the second is to exaggerate the future and fashion that you may have if you succeed, and the third is to explain the equipment advantage you have and how strong the enemy army will inevitably be. Of course, in the end, Xiao Xuan felt that this was still a little unsafe: the battlefield must also have battlefield discipline.
"This operation, you are not alone, many people in the Imperial Horse Prison will cooperate with the army, if there are people who escape, they will enforce battlefield discipline in the battle, and they will be severely wanted afterwards!" When Xiao Xuan said these words, the hundreds of elite cavalry led by Pang Tianshou, who had been prepared a long time ago, also surrounded him. Although many of the more than 10,000 people in the Imperial Horse Prison were not able to fight, and the difficult type of cavalry and archery was even more difficult for the strong, more than 100 people who could barely control the horses to open bows and arrows or use three-eyed guns on horses were still barely picked up.
Of course, Xiao Xuan also believed that during the primary election, there should be a few Wei Party sand mixed in, but under the trade-off, Xiao Xuan was worried about morale and did not pick out these problems in the public mobilization speech. After taking a bath, it was revealed that there was still contact with the body these days, and Xiao Xuan also believed it. As long as there are no big loopholes in the operation and operation, it will be done in one go. Those "eunuch sitting" who will not have a long time for special training may not have the high consciousness of the villains in ordinary film and television novels.
What Xiao Xuan didn't expect for a while was that Tian Xiuying was also heroic at this time, wearing a military uniform, carrying a waist knife and an arrow bag, and riding on a horse with a bow and arrow. According to Zhang Xiaolei's arrangement, in order to highlight his identity in front of the officers and soldiers, he still wore a cloak in the style of a phoenix robe and walked in front of the people in the Imperial Horse Prison.
"Don't be surprised, this time, my Concubine Tian Aifei also went out with everyone to cover everyone's flanks. I hope you don't let Concubine Tian's arrows be wasted on those who have fled among you and not on the enemies... ”
In this era of feudal machismo where there are no modern otaku and no modern small luck, the appearance of such a heroic woman in battle has also played a certain role in boosting morale, making the young officers and soldiers feel that they seem to be as glorious as Fang Dajun, the protagonist of the storytelling romance, and at the same time, they also have some thoughts that they cannot fall behind in front of the women.
The operation started quickly as soon as he got the news, and Xiao Xuan didn't even have the intention of waiting for the next day. Because no one knows if there will be a long night and many dreams in one night. What's more, I also thought of my past experience of approaching certain competitions or exams, if the waiting time is too long, the psychological pressure of the imminent event will make people very tired and uncomfortable, and if you are very decisive and quickly put into the battlefield or the imminent event, the pressure will be much smaller, which may also be a basic principle of "one breath of energy and then three failures and exhaustion"?
After many days of training, although the team did not perform well in the complex queue and column, but the detachment walked in unison There was not much problem, accompanied by the red flag of the exhibition purely for the purpose of boosting morale, and when the young recruits of more than 500 people set off in neat gear with their whole bodies draped, the spirit and determination brought by the atmosphere really calmed the fear in the hearts of many teenagers. Seeing the way the teenagers set off, Xiao Xuan's previous worries were completely relaxed.
"Your Majesty is still in the horse team, it is dangerous to be in the front of the infantry team after all. . . ." Pang Tianshou persuaded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is safer in the horse team, and you can also be more adaptable. . . ." Tian Xiuying also said at this time.
Xiao Xuan thought for a moment but said, "The infantry team is newly established, and I am worried that if I don't come to the battle in person, the morale of the teenagers will still not be guaranteed. Only an emperor himself in command of their ranks, may have avoided the panic of the first battle... "In fact, when he said this, Xiao Xuan himself was not low, if he hung up in this traversal dungeon, God knows what kind of punishment he would encounter from the system or the gods.
However, in order to relieve the pressure, Xiao Xuan asked Tian Xiuying again at this time: "Concubine Ai's martial arts haven't fallen these days, right?" How many bows do you use? ”
Hearing this, Tian Xiuying seemed to say with some regret: "My father was worried that a daughter's family would break her body by practicing war bows, so she was only able to operate the four-bucket riding bow more proficiently, but Your Majesty can rest assured that no matter right away or stepping down, there are still conditions that ordinary people can't reach in terms of arrows and shooting accuracy." These days, I also practice more than 100 arrows every day... ”
Perhaps because the Chinese people naturally lack quantitative concepts, Xiao Xuan can't accurately assess what level Tian Xiuying's archery skills are at this moment, but if you want to come here, this woman dares to fight, and it shouldn't be inferior to ordinary soldiers...
