As a result, some of the soldiers of the Beijing camp began to sigh, stomping their feet to keep warm, or simply squatted down and shrunk into a ball, while complaining to their comrades on the side.

"What's the matter, these officials have something to do, and they forgot to disband casually?"

"That's it, it's a cold day, let's drink the cold wind here!"

“……”

At this time, some of the soldiers of the Beijing camp found that they were out of place, and they turned their heads to look at a place in front of the school field, and the topic changed.

"Hehe, look, those people are still standing motionless!"

"What are you pretending, you'll be moving after a while, just watch!"

"If I were one of them, I wouldn't move!"

“……”

After a while, no one spoke to those soldiers of the new army, and they did not see them stomping their feet, and the talk of these soldiers in the Beijing camp changed again, and even those soldiers who were closer shouted again.

"Are you stupid, those adults obviously can't come back in a short time, why are you still standing so straight?"

"That's it, on this cold day, I froze to death after standing for a long time, don't be so serious, no one cares!"

“……”

In fact, these Beijing soldiers played the opposite role. Originally, some of the soldiers of the new army also had the same idea as them, and they also wanted to relax. But looking at the appearance of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, it stimulated their arrogance. Look, we are different from the Beijing camp, we represent the emperor, and we are the elite formed by the emperor himself. Under military orders, can you still be like you?

In this way, the soldiers of the Beijing camp were no longer standing, and the noise was noisy, but the soldiers of the new army still maintained their original standing posture. Many of them even had a hint of pride on their faces.

The situation on the school field made the people on the second floor of a building in the distance look at it one by one. They don't even need to use binoculars to see the general situation of the school grounds.

By the window, Man Gui's face was a little red, but fortunately it was a beard, but not many people noticed this. The chief instructor of the new army was always smiling. In the past month, the emphasis has been on the prohibition of the order, and it seems that it is indeed effective. Against the backdrop of peers, it is even more eye-catching.

After a long while, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting in the room, asked with a smile: "How is it, is there any movement of the new army?" ”

When Mao Yuanyi heard this, he immediately turned around, walked in front of Emperor Chongzhen in a few steps, and replied respectfully with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, there has been no movement yet!" ”

"Yes, then keep waiting." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and nodded, feeling more satisfied.

Or Man Gui himself was embarrassed, and he turned around and walked back, he had always had a loud voice, but his voice was much lower: "The last general is incompetent in governing the army, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

But Zu Dashou on the side knew that most of the Ming army would basically react in this kind of improvised scene, including the Guan Ning army. That is to say, it is not that Mangui is not trained enough, but that the new army is more prominent.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Man Gui's words, but he didn't get angry, let alone punish him, but just explained to him lightly: "Back then, when Marshal Qi governed the army, even if it was a rainy day, there was no order to disband the army, and the department was motionless, so it was called a ban." But except at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were few such armies. Manqing, this aspect is indeed strengthened! ”

Mao Yuanyi's military training was in accordance with Qi Jiguang's military training method. However, compared with Qi Jiguang's training back then, the new army this time even has more tricks. For example, the political commissars served by those eunuchs, in their usual lectures, will also emphasize military discipline, and even preach some small stories about orders and prohibitions for those new army officers and soldiers to know. This kind of education is also somewhat helpful, and Mao Yuanyi admits this.

However, he already knew at this time that the emperor suddenly had such an arrangement, in fact, it was not to compare the soldiers of the new army with the soldiers of the Beijing camp, but to conduct a test of the military discipline of the new army, to make a comparison between the soldiers of the new army, to see if those people would persist longer, so as to provide a reference for the selection of officers of the new army.

Time is slowly passing, and in the blink of an eye, an hour has passed, and the commanders and generals are still nowhere to be seen. This made the soldiers of the Beijing camp very dissatisfied, and some even began to scold their mothers. They also lost interest in ridiculing the officers and men of the new army, and the basic formation was gone, and it was often a familiar group of people who got together, huddled together for warmth, and complained about it.

In the beginning, the junior military attachés would reprimand them, but later, they themselves were the same, and many of them even hid in places where they could shelter from the cold wind.

Slowly, the soldiers of the new army could no longer stand, but more often they still stood there, just talking.

"What's going on, we haven't come back for so long, shouldn't there really be a delay, or think we've disbanded?"

"It's really possible, it's been an hour, right?"

“……”

Among these speakers did not include Cao Bianjiao, who from the first day he came to the new army, he demanded that he be the first in everything he did. He came to the New Army, not for the treatment of the New Army, but to surpass Wu Sangui, who was born in the general. He wants to return the insult of that day!

Therefore, when Brother Zhao, who was standing nearby, shouted to him, he remained silent, still not squinting, and looked at the front of the general. This made Brother Zhao and the others silent, or they were used to being led by Cao Bianjiao. What Cao Bianjiao does, they do too.

Or maybe it's been gathering for too long, and the shadows of those adults can't be seen. More and more of the soldiers in the Beijing camp left their positions and walked to the barracks around the school grounds, and it was a good choice to hide there to avoid the wind.

Now that most of the soldiers are doing this, they won't believe what they can do when those adults come back. Didn't you say it, there is a saying that the law does not blame the public!

In the end, on the huge school field, almost only the officers and men of the new army were still standing there. However, some of the officers and men of the new army have already begun to stomp their feet to keep warm. Those Beijing camp soldiers were also bored standing still, and the topic shifted to the current situation.

"A bunch of fools, how long has it been and they're still standing there. Those adults must have forgotten to explain! ”

"Maybe the adults thought we would go back to the barracks ourselves, so they didn't bother to come over and tell us about the disbandment."

"Let's go back to the barracks together, even if those adults come back, hehe, stand there and blow the wind, keep blowing, freeze you to death!"

“……”

Or I saw that most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp had already left the school field and hid in shelter. Or maybe they have been standing long enough and are hungry, and some of the new army officers and men have begun to lose their ability to stand, and have begun to turn their heads to speak, or they have stretched their bodies and lost their posture.
