June has arrived, and the weather is unusually hot.

At this moment, on a large piece of flat land between Wugong County and Fufeng County, a cavalry is training here.

The red sun was all sweating.

They galloped on horseback, and after half an hour, the team suddenly split in two.

Both teams were about 5,000 people, and at this moment, the two teams suddenly clashed with each other.

All the soldiers had spears in their hands, but the tips of the spears had been removed.

The two teams were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in front of them had already raised their spears, and they stabbed at the soldiers on the opposite side.

The two teams fought fiercely, and it took them half an hour before they stopped.

At this moment there were many people lying on the ground, who had been stabbed with spears by their comrades. Some people have not had much to do and have already turned over and sat up, some people have severe pain all over their bodies, and some people have been injured and their ribs seem to be broken.

"Do you have any problems?" A general dismounted from his horse, strode up to the wounded soldiers, and asked anxiously.

"General, we have nothing to do, we can still continue training!" One of the soldiers had blood on his chest, apparently not lightly wounded, but he said it anyway.

"You're injured and need some rest." The general said.

"But, General, everyone is training, and I can't stay alone." The soldier said hurriedly.

"If you have an injury, you have to rest and you can continue training when you are well. Rest assured, you are still the soldiers of our new army, and we will not leave you behind. The general said.

"But......" the soldier had to say more, and the general had kept shaking his hand to prevent him from saying more.

The rest of the soldiers were also extremely tired at the moment, and they sat on the ground to rest.

"Aren't you tired?" The general came to the crowd and said.

"Not tired!" Countless soldiers shouted together.

"I know it must be tiring! What you just told was a lie. The general laughed and said.

He had never laughed in the past, but now he suddenly laughed, and it seemed a little stiff. But the soldiers below all had funny expressions on their faces, they didn't expect their commander to laugh too.

"But even if we are ten times more tired, we still need to train! In the last Northern Expedition, the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army, the Jingyuan Army, and the Huanqing Army all made great contributions, and our Forbidden Army, as the most valued army of His Majesty, stayed here! There will definitely be people who say that we are not as good as them, and I am not convinced! We will also establish meritorious deeds in the future, and we must not be worse than them! Therefore, in the weekday training, we must be strict with ourselves and never slack off! The general said.

"That's what the commander said!" A soldier said below.

"This time, General Yue drew 50,000 men from the forbidden army to form a cavalry. And the troops that can be drawn out are all armies that have made great contributions in the war without exception, and they are all the best performing armies in peacetime. It has only been less than two years since the formation of our new First Army, but we can be selected as cavalry, which shows that General Yue attaches great importance to us, and we can't let them down. The general said again.

The soldiers below nodded their heads.

"Moreover, Your Majesty also attaches great importance to cavalry! Your Majesty said, I hope we can be the first to enter the Central Plains in the future and take the lead in fighting the Jin soldiers! We will be the main force to destroy the Jurchens in the future! Your Majesty values us so much, for Your Majesty's sake, we should also practice hard. The general said again.

Many of the soldiers below had excited expressions on their faces and nodded again.

They rested for two quarters of an hour and then started training again.

This time they practiced the kung fu of mounted archery, and they kept shooting forward with bows and arrows in their hands. They rode on their horses and kept moving forward, constantly moving towards their goal.

They were training all afternoon.

When it was dusk, they rested while eating dinner.

And in the evening, they trained again, this time they trained in swordsmanship on horses.

All cavalry warriors had four weapons, one was a spear, one was a horizontal sword, and the remaining two were bows and arrows, one for long-range shooting and one for close-range shooting.

What they didn't know was that these four weapons were the same weapons used by the Mongol soldiers and horses in history. When Genghis Khan fought in all directions, all his warriors had these four weapons in their hands.

At that time, the Mongol army was a standard light cavalry, and the Mongolian steppe was unusually barren, and the only defense of the Mongols was the helmet on their heads, some of which were made of iron, but more of which were made of rattan armor. The hussars have low defense, but they have the highest mobility in the world. Under the command of Genghis Khan's genius Great Roundabout Strategy, the Mongol soldiers and horses won victory after victory. And Zhao Chen now obviously wants to copy such a cavalry, he hopes that this cavalry can crisscross the Central Plains in the future and eliminate the Jurchens.

The night was getting darker, and the soldiers were still training.

It wasn't until the middle of the moon that the soldiers stopped, and they began to rest.

The soldiers were asleep, but several of the generals of this army had not slept yet.

On top of a hill, three generals are standing.

One of them was the general who had been trained during the day, and he was none other than Wang Ying, the commander of the New First Army.

The two next to him are Yang Zheng and Liang Hao.

"Your Majesty said, give us a year to ban the army, and hope that we can train a strong cavalry! I hope we don't use it for a year, we only use half a year! In half a year, I will see an invincible cavalry appear in front of me. Wang Yingdao.

"General, the soldiers are training so hard! There are a total of twelve hours a day, and they are training for ** hours, and I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear it. Yang Zhengdao.

"If you can't bear it, then you can only eliminate! We are an army of steel, and only iron warriors can survive! If it really doesn't work, we'll have to transfer people from other armies to our new army! There are still countless people who want to join the cavalry! Wang Yingdao.

Yang Zheng and Liang Hao next to him nodded.

"In October, we will have a large-scale military exercise. Then it's time to think about the results. We may have to attack the area of Fufeng County from Wugong County. The 2nd, 5th, 8th armies defended there. How do you say to break through? Wang Yingdao.

"Commander, I don't think it's as good as this, you lead half of the soldiers and horses to attract their attention head-on, and I will lead people to turn over from Wugong Mountain and steal them from behind." Yang Zhengdao.

"Turning over from Wugong Mountain? People can pass, but can horses pass? Wang Yingdao.

"I don't think there's a problem! The road was a little tougher, but the horses were able to get through! Yang Zhengdao.

"What if they find out?" Liang Hao said.

"When that time comes, we'll judge based on the actual situation. We are going to take them by surprise and attack them. If they can find out what we are doing, it proves that they are better than us, and we need to learn from them. Yang Zhengdao.

Wang Ying nodded.

Although the three of them are all important generals in the army, the three of them are now disgraced, and it is impossible to train for a day otherwise. They discussed tomorrow's training for a while before returning to the barracks to rest.

On the front line of martial arts and wind support, all the cavalry were training without sleep and food.

Originally, the crops began to ripen in June, because the land was vast and sparsely populated, and many soldiers of the army helped the young people to harvest the crops together, but the cavalry team was still training, and they had received strict orders from Zhao Chen and Yue Fei to make them a fighting cavalry team in a short period of time, and every moment of the day could not be delayed. Except for training, Zhao Chen and Yue Fei will not hand over anything to them to do.

They train like this, and every day is the equivalent of two days of training!

The nomads of the steppes, they grew up on horses, and their riding and archery skills were extremely skillful. The soldiers of the forbidden army did not have such an advantage, but they had the diligence and diligence that no one else had, and they had to rely on their own sweat to catch up with those aliens on the grassland. They believed that in the future their cavalry would never be under those aliens.

They train day after day, month after month, and never rest!

No matter the scorching sun, no matter the heavy rain, no matter the dust, they are training, never-ending training.

******

It's August of the lunar calendar, and the weather is finally getting cooler.

The sorghum planted by the Production and Construction Corps began to mature in large areas, and countless young people began to harvest the sorghum with intense labor.

However, there are still not enough people.

On the afternoon of this day, Zhao Chen led the officers and soldiers of the imperial camp into the crop fields to help the young people harvest sorghum together.

Zhao Chen had been working for a whole afternoon, and he didn't come out of the field until the sun set.

He was covered in sweat, and his clothes were dirty.

A young man next to him brought a basin of water, Zhao Chen washed his face, and then came to a nearby village with the young man and a group of people from the imperial camp.

Here, there are already young people who have cooked meals and entertained Zhao Chen and others.

"It will take about ten days to harvest this sorghum." After eating, Zhao Chen gathered the young people together and said with a smile.

The young men next to him nodded one after another.

"After the sorghum is harvested, you still can't be idle, you have to build the road in Guanshan. When the time comes, you will have to work hard again. You are busy all year round, and you don't have much time to rest, and it's very hard. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, don't say that, the soldiers of the forbidden army are trained hard."

"Yes, Your Majesty. There are countless forbidden soldiers who have died on the battlefield, and we are nothing compared to them. ”

The young people next to him said one after another.

"As I said before, this is a great era of ups and downs, this is a great era in which our Han people have completely risen and prospered forever, and in this great era, everyone is dedicating and everyone is working hard. The country will remember your merits, and history will remember your merits. This country, this nation will change dramatically in our hands, and now we are working hard, but in the future, we will be proud of these hardships, and we will feel that it is all worth it. We can tell our descendants that we did not live in vain, and that we did the most meaningful thing in the world with our best efforts. Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we understand!" The young man next to him showed an unusually excited expression on his face and nodded.

"I'm not lying to you with big words or empty words, what I'm saying is from my heart." Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, the people next to him laughed.

"It's not just you who are trying, I'm working too. Over the years, I've hardly had a good day of rest. I hope that in the future, when this country prospers, you and I can put down the burden on our shoulders together, and we can enjoy it to the fullest, don't you think? Zhao Chen said.

Suddenly, there was a cheering voice around me.

On the night of this day, Zhao Chen rested here.

However, the light in his room was always on, and political affairs from all over the country were constantly sent to him, and he was dealing with political affairs at night.

When the political affairs were finished, Zhao Chen finally turned off the lights, and he meditated on the bed for a long time before he really lay down.

And the next morning, when it was dark, he had already woken up again, and he was harvesting sorghum with soldiers and young people, and he had another busy day.

******

On August 15, villages in Wugong County and Fufeng County held grand celebrations, this time to celebrate the harvest! This year's grain harvest was bumper and all the young people were very excited.

These young people will then be involved in the construction of the Guanshan Highway.

Throughout the winter, they may not be able to rest.

And Zhao Chen has returned to the county seat of Wugong County at this moment.

He spends most of his time dealing with political and official affairs.

That night, Wang De came to Zhao Chen's room, and Wang De put a piece of information he had just obtained in front of Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, those Jianghu characters in Jiangnan are ready to move again! What kind of treasure is it, what treasure are they going to help Zhao Gou take out! It is said that if you get the treasure, you can get the world! It's just that our intelligence officers don't have specific information yet. Wang Dedao.

"Treasure? Amusing! Governing the country and attacking the world depends on hard work, on knowing people and making good use of them, and on the unity of all people. Do you think it's possible to get the world by relying on treasures? Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"This is naturally impossible, but, Your Majesty, this treasure seems to be extraordinary, we still have to be careful." Wang Dedao.

"You give me careful attention! If there is any news, send it to me. Zhao Chen said.

Wang De nodded, and left immediately.

Zhao Chen stood in front of the window, looking to the east, pondering the movements of those Jiangnan martial arts people in his heart, but he felt that it was not necessarily related to the treasure, and it was very likely to be assassination. Either way, he felt a little weird.
