"What do you think of our infantry drills?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is truly a man of God! We all can't believe that His Majesty wrote these things! Only then did Li Gang notice Zhao Chen coming in, and immediately looked up and said.

"I didn't write it alone, I wrote it with Yue Fei and them!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"These are His Majesty's ideas, and the last general will not dare to take credit!" Yue Fei stood behind Zhao Chen and said hurriedly.

"The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great! You two take a look, is there anything else that needs to be added or changed in this infantry drill code? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, your training method is different from that of the famous generals of the past dynasties, and Weichen doesn't know if the soldiers trained in this way are really elite?" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

This is the place he suspects the most now, in the past, the army training was mainly to practice martial arts, and occasionally practiced formations, but Zhao Chen added many useful and useless places! Running, formation, mountain training, assault training, and more, he really didn't know if it really worked!

"You don't have to doubt this! When the time comes to war, you'll be able to see the effect! Zhao Chen smiled and said.

These are all military training methods after a thousand years, and they are countless times more advanced than the training methods of this era! In particular, the standardized and systematic concept contained in it is far beyond this era! The Germans relied on this method to train real professional soldiers, and the Japanese relied on this method to turn from a weak army to a strong army! Later, all countries used this method, which naturally has its own uniqueness! Of course, when the Germans created this method, it was the end of the cold weapon age, and by the time of the Japanese, it was already the hot weapon age, but in any case, this method itself is absolutely not wrong! In view of the reality of the cold weapon era, it needs to make many changes, which is also the reason why Zhao Chen and Yue Fei and others studied together, Zhao Chen has many places to consult Yue Fei and others!

"Your Majesty's method of training is better than all the famous generals in ancient and modern times! In Yue's opinion, although it has only been a month, the forbidden army has undergone earth-shaking changes! Whether it is the physical condition of the soldiers or the morale of the soldiers, it is far more than before! Rest assured, this method is absolutely feasible! Yue Fei said.

Yue Fei is the first general of the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he doesn't have any fame now! He has a unique vision and can see the advancement of this set of training methods! However, Li Gang is still skeptical of what he said!

"I think Your Majesty's training method is feasible! When we first came to the forbidden army, the forbidden army was not what it is now! At that time, the forbidden army was extremely lazy, and it was too far behind the Jingyuan army! It's only been a month now, and I don't think this army is under the Jingyuan army! Wang Shu said.

"Really?" Li Gang said in disbelief.

"It's nature!" Wang Shu said with a smile.

Wang Shu was already surprised and admired by Zhao Chen in his heart! He really couldn't imagine how a prince who came out of the palace and an emperor who had never dealt with the army could come up with the same training methods as these geniuses! He naturally didn't know that Zhao Chen was from later generations, these were just summaries of the experience of later generations! If Zhao Chen was not the emperor, just relying on this set of training methods would be enough to make him famous for eternity!

"There is only a method of military training, and it is difficult to train strong soldiers without the guidance of good generals! The forbidden army used to be a broken army, and the military discipline, military morale, and morale were really poor, so I want to stay here, and I want to change with this army! With me here, this army can quickly become the invincible army I want! That's why I'm going to be here for a long time! For the time being, the major affairs of the court and the central government will be left to you to deal with, and in addition, I have one more thing for you to do! Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know what it is?" Li Gang said.

"You find some literati and showmen to come, and let them join the forbidden army!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ahh Your Majesty, what do you want literati and talents to do in the army? Is it for the sake of advice? Li Gang said with some surprise.

"You have also read the infantry drill manual, which is written later, to let the soldiers know what they are fighting for and who they are fighting for, under such an education, the army will never become a private army, and the soldiers will only be loyal to me and the Great Song Dynasty, and they will never have to worry about army rebellion in the future! However, the generals are not knowledgeable, and it is obviously not possible for them to do these things, so I have to recruit some literati to do these things! Once these literati talents enter the army, they are also soldiers, and their status is equal to that of generals, but they are not allowed to command the army at will, they are only responsible for educating the soldiers! Zhao Chen said.

These literati are equivalent to the "political commissars" of later generations, and they are specially responsible for ideological education! In times of war, they also play a morale-boosting role! In some respects, they are also somewhat similar to the ancient prison army, except that the prison army is to monitor high-ranking officials, and they are deep into the army, and they have to stay with the soldiers on weekdays, their role is only to carry out political and ideological education, and it is impossible to command the army beyond their authority at any time!

"Your Majesty can come up with such a trick to control the army, Weichen admires! Your Majesty, I think that in addition to the forbidden army, some literati and talents can also be placed in the Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army to do these things and educate those ordinary soldiers! Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu admired Zhao Chen's trick to the extreme! He felt that this was the best way for the monarch to control the army, and he would educate the monarch every day, and even if the general wanted to rebel, the soldiers would not follow the general to rebel! He still did not grasp the deep meaning of Zhao Chen's implementation of this system, mainly to enhance the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army, not just to prevent the army from rebelling!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will definitely do this well! After we return to Hanzhong, we will immediately recruit a group of literati to enter the army! Li Gang said.

"Excellent! However, this training method is now only implemented in the forbidden army! If it is possible in the future, it will be promoted to other armies! Zhao Chen said.

This night, Li Gang and Wang Shu stayed in the barracks, and they discussed political affairs with Zhao Chen! Now that the party has been killed, many local officials in Hanzhong, Sichuan, Shu, and Guanxi relied on bribes to get to the top at the beginning, and Li Gang asked if he wanted to take down these officials and when he would take down these officials!

Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "Now that the overall situation has just stabilized, it is not appropriate to change too much!" Let's not touch the officials of the local state capital, but you all keep a good eye on them! After half a year, the situation has stabilized, and if someone is corrupt or rebels, then I will not show mercy! If there are people who have not had bad deeds in the past six months, then even if they can become officials through bribery, I can forgive them! ”

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty Shengming! As it should be! ”

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I've been training for a day, I'm really tired!" If nothing else, let's go to sleep! ”

That night, everyone rested in the barracks, and the next morning, Zhao Chen still trained with the soldiers, while Li Gang, Wang Shu and others returned to Hanzhong and continued to deal with the world's political affairs!

"Your Majesty, you don't care about political affairs, and leave political affairs completely to the two of them, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do so, right?" Yue Fei was a little puzzled.

"Naturally, I can't leave politics to them! Political affairs, that must be held in your own hands! I have an idea in my mind, I'll talk to you in a few days! In troubled times, the army is the most important! I'd better take control of the army first! Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

*** ***

In the middle of the night on July 15, a shrill whistle suddenly sounded outside the barracks!

Hearing this whistle, the soldiers in the barracks were awakened one after another, and countless soldiers hurriedly put on their clothes and ran outside!

According to the regulations in the infantry drill code, once the soldiers get the signal to assemble urgently, they must assemble within half an hour! Soldiers should be dressed neatly, and troops should be lined up!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei had already come outside, and under the moonlight, they were standing there waiting for the soldiers to arrive!

There was a rush of running sounds, and countless soldiers came to their troops, and the generals of the troops were urgent, ordering the soldiers to line up!

"It's been half a quarter of an hour!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our training is still not enough! There are still people who haven't come! Yue Fei said.

"It's already good, the vast majority of the soldiers are already here! A handful of soldiers are now running towards here! Give them another quarter of an hour! Today is the first time, and if you train a few more times in the future, they will naturally gradually meet the standards! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Yue Fei nodded!

After a quarter of an hour, finally all the soldiers had arrived!

There was a quiet place on the training ground, and no one whispered, which was completely different from when Zhao Chen had just arrived that day! Zhao Chen was slightly satisfied!

"Today's rapid march training, let's move in the direction of Qinling! A total of 300 miles, you must arrive within three days! I'm walking with you! Zhao Chen said lightly.

At that moment, Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were heading towards the north, and behind them, the armies were also heading towards the north under the leadership of various generals!

The night was hazy, and the soldiers marched extremely fast!

An hour later, they had passed the gates of Hanzhong, and it was still dark! They keep going!

On the first day the soldiers were able to hold out, and at night they rested in the field!

By the next day, the soldiers had already been left behind!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were originally in front of the troops, but at this moment they came to the back of the troops, and saw a soldier covered in sweat and almost unable to walk, Zhao Chen hurriedly came to his side and said, "How are you?" ”

When the soldier saw that it was Zhao Chen, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do!" ”

Zhao Chen took out the skin bag and said, "Look at your sweaty appearance, let's drink some water first!" ”

After the soldier drank the water, he gritted his teeth and continued on his way!

Over there, Zhao Chen saw that someone had broken his foot, and limped forward, and at that moment Zhao Chen held the soldier and walked forward with the soldier!

"Your Majesty, the villain is really dragging down Your Majesty!" The soldier was so anxious and grateful that he couldn't help but cry.

"Manly man, blood, sweat and tears! Not again! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the villain is loyal to you and is willing to go to the soup for you!" The soldier choked.

"Excellent! In the future, when you train, you should perform well, and you must not be held back! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" The soldier nodded as he gritted his teeth.

"What's your name?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"The villain Xu Qing was originally from Hedong, and later followed General Yue to Hanzhong! It's just that the villain doesn't have much ability, so he is still an ordinary soldier! He said.

Yue Fei came to Hanzhong with thousands of volunteers, and later the Zhejia Army became a forbidden army, and many officers of the Zhejia Army were missing, and Yue Fei installed many righteous soldiers as officers, but there were still some people who existed as ordinary soldiers!

"Xu Qing! Your name is Xu Qing? Zhao Chen was stunned, this person was one of the main generals of the Yue family army in history, and he didn't expect that he was just a small soldier now!

"Yes, the villain's name is Xu Qing!" Xu Qing nodded.

"I believe that you will definitely be able to make some achievements and build up your achievements in the future!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the villain will not disappoint Your Majesty!" Xu Qingdao.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he helped Xu Qing forward like this! Xu Qing wanted to break free from Zhao Chen a few times, he felt that he had dragged Zhao Chen down, but Zhao Chen did not agree, and still led him forward!

In the end, the more Xu Qing was moved, he held back his tears and didn't let himself cry again!

Zhao Chen is helping those soldiers who have fallen behind, and the rest of the people in the army naturally dare not slack off, they either support those soldiers who have fallen behind, or carry those soldiers on their backs, in short, they will not let people fall behind, so that everyone can move forward with the army!

"Three hundred miles in three days, this was unimaginable before! Now you can only do such a thing by following Your Majesty! Yue Fei said secretly.

When it came to the next night, Zhao Chen sat among the soldiers, he had dinner with the soldiers, and then said: "You all talk about it, what are the problems in our army now?" If it can be changed, I will definitely change it! ”
