In the next few days, Zhao Chen, Li Gang, and Wang Shu have been discussing the appointment of officials! After experiencing the rebellion, there is a lack of officials in the court, and now in addition to the two prime ministers Li Gang and Wang Shu, there is no imperial history in the court, and there are no six Shangshu and Shilang! The shortage of officials in the DPRK and China is too big to be filled in a short period of time, otherwise the government will not be able to operate normally at all!

Regarding the appointment of officials in the imperial court, Zhao Chen originally had his own ideas. He was determined to change the official system of the Song Dynasty, but all this could only be implemented after the situation in Hanzhong was completely stabilized.

On the tenth day of the sixth month, Zhao Chen left Hanzhong City and came to the forbidden army with a group of soldiers and horses from the imperial camp!

Zhao Chen just appeared at the door of the forbidden army, and the soldiers of the forbidden army couldn't help but let out a burst of cheers, and countless forbidden soldiers knelt on the ground to welcome Zhao Chen's arrival!

Zhao Chen only stayed in the forbidden army for a few days that day, but he left a deep impression on the soldiers! These days, some people are even looking forward to Zhao Chen's arrival again, and now everyone is naturally excited to see Zhao Chen!

"Where is Yue Fei?" Zhao Chen asked loudly.

"General Yue is in the room over there!" A soldier pointed ahead.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he rode towards that side! After a few moments he got off his horse and went into the room over there!

Yue Fei was discussing something with several generals, and when they saw Zhao Chen coming, they also hurriedly knelt down and said, "See Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Chen helped Yue Fei up and said with a smile: "In the future, you will not kneel in the barracks!" What are you guys discussing? ”

Yue Fei said: "Weichen thinks that the army should be trained every three days!" These generals did not agree with Weichen's statement! ”

The generals all showed a look of wistfulness on their faces, and one of the generals said: "Your Majesty, isn't it too hard to train in three days?" We have been in the northwest for many years, and the original family army was only a five-day training! In doing so, I'm afraid that the soldiers won't be able to stand it! ”

Zhao Chen said: "One training in three days? One training in five days? What is it? ”

At that moment, Yue Fei hurriedly explained, it turned out that one training in three days was training once in three days, and one training in five days was training once in five days! The ancient Chinese army, except for the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, was already very lazy in the Song Dynasty! In the Western Army, not to mention training every three days, even if it is a training every five days, it is extremely rare, and many armies even train once every ten days or half a month! In the Ming Dynasty after the Song Dynasty, army training was equally lazy! For example, Qi Jiguang, a famous general at that time, the training volume of the army under him was the strongest in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, it was only a small training in three days and a major training in five days! It seems that in the modern society of later generations, the soldiers of the army trained every day, which was unimaginable in dynasties such as the Song and Ming dynasties!

Zhao Chen shook his head when he heard this, and said, "One training in three days? One training in five days? I think it should be one training a day! ”

When Zhao Chen said this, Yue Fei and the others were stunned, and Yue Fei said: "One training a day? Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this! ”

Zhao Chen sneered and said, "What's wrong?" Our army of the Great Song Dynasty is accustomed to being lazy, so it is difficult to be diligent! What would have been normal is incredible! From today on, except for the occasional state affair, I will spend the rest of my time in the forbidden army and training with the soldiers! ”

Yes!

Yue Fei was taken aback and said, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you train with the soldiers?" ”

Zhao Chen said: "Now is a troubled time, different from the past!" When I was in Kaifeng that day, the day I got the Seven Star Longyuan Sword, I swore in my heart to use this sword to fight thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and restore the prosperous civilization of our Han people! At present, the main thing in the court is to appoint official positions, but the appointment of official positions requires the assessment of officials, the need to observe, and the need for a certain amount of time, and I can completely leave these things to Li Gang and Wang Shu to do! I'm here to train with you! ”

Yue Fei was a little surprised on the one hand, but he was excited on the other! If Zhao Chen stays here, it will indeed be of great benefit to him in training! Zhao Chen's stay here can naturally boost morale, of course, Yue Fei still doesn't think much of what Zhao Chen said about one training a day, he feels that it is difficult to do!

At that moment, Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, the forbidden army has been commanded for many years, and its morale is decadent, only Your Majesty can boost morale!" ”

Zhao Chen said: "How is morale decadent? ”

Yue Fei said: "The soldiers are not willing to train!" It's also unusually lazy on weekdays! ”

Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "You go and gather all the soldiers of the forbidden army, I want to lecture them!" ”

Yue Fei hurriedly nodded and agreed, he took a few generals to do this!

*** ***

The laziness of the forbidden army is beyond Zhao Chen's imagination, Zhao Chen came here in the morning, and it took more than an hour for the forbidden army to assemble!

The 60,000 forbidden troops gathered in an open field, and most of the soldiers did not stand or sit, and many soldiers whispered there!

When Zhao Chen came to him, he thought that the training ground was full of flies, and the buzzing was constant!

It wasn't until Zhao Chen ascended the high platform that the whispering below slowly stopped!

Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers below, his brows furrowed, Yue Fei followed beside him, and his brows couldn't help frowning!

"See Your Majesty", "Long Live Your Majesty", "Long Live Long Live Long Live"...... After a while, there was a sound of a tsunami below, and the soldiers shouted there, hearing this sound, Zhao Chen couldn't cry or laugh.

He raised his hand and pressed it down slowly, and the sound below stopped!

It's just that the sound of long live is gone, but those whispering voices are slowly sounding! Some soldiers turned their heads to talk to the people next to them, while others spoke to the people behind them! Some soldiers simply sat on the ground and fanned the wind with their hands!

The weather in June was so hot that these soldiers could not bear it!

"Look at your appearance, do you still look like a soldier?" Zhao Chen suddenly snorted coldly on it!

Hearing this voice, the soldiers below were slightly stunned, many soldiers hurriedly stopped whispering, and those soldiers who sat down also stood up!

"Can't you even stand up straight?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

The soldiers stood crookedly, not decently, some bent over, some with their legs skimmed, they were more of a bunch of thugs than soldiers!

Zhao Chen didn't expect this forbidden army to be rotten like this! No wonder such an army was vulnerable in front of the Jurchens in the first place! If the army continues like this, it is a dream to realize its ambitions by relying on the army!

"Your Majesty, they are like this, they need to train well to get around!" Yue Fei said.

"I'll train with them today! You give the order to everyone and get everyone up straight! Today I stand here, and they stand below! Let's stand together in the scorching sun for a few hours! Hmph, can't even stand, is this still a soldier? Zhao Chen said coldly.

"This ......" Yue Fei nodded, and immediately called the generals of the forbidden army one after another to give Zhao Chen's order!

*** ***

In the scorching sun, Zhao Chen stood there like this!

His martial arts have reached the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, but after all, he has not entered the innate level, and he can't reach the point where the cold and heat are not invaded!

At first, Zhao Chen didn't feel anything, but after a while, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and gradually more and more sweat appeared, and the clothes on his body were already soaked!

But Zhao Chen was still standing there, motionless!

The generals and soldiers below all received orders from Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen asked them to "stand" here, and they all had to stand up straight!

The whispering of the soldiers had already stopped, and it was so hot that they simply did not have the strength to speak!

Some soldiers couldn't stand up straight, and immediately some generals stepped forward and slapped them the back and legs, and these soldiers had to continue to stand up straight!

Time gradually passed, it had been half an hour, countless soldiers had sore legs and feet, they wanted to sit on the ground, but on the high platform, Zhao Chen was still standing there!

Zhao Chen stood there motionless, he was almost at the limit now, but he was still standing!

"From Kaifeng to Hanzhong, I don't know how much suffering I have experienced in the past year or so, and now I can't do this little suffering? If I can't do it, how can I ask those soldiers to be able to do it? Zhao Chen clenched his fists tightly and said secretly.

He continued to persevere, and the feeling of gradual exhaustion disappeared, and his chest seemed to have strength again! Zhao Chen knew that he had passed that period of fatigue!

He was still standing, but many of the soldiers below were too much to bear!

The bodies of many soldiers are already crumbling!

Under such a scorching sun, many soldiers already have the feeling of heat stroke and dehydration! They hardly train on weekdays, and once they encounter such high-intensity training, their bodies and minds simply can't bear it!

It's been an hour, and Zhao Chen is still standing there!

Many of the soldiers below could no longer bear it and fell to the ground! The general whipped them hard, but they still couldn't get up! At this moment, even those patrolling generals can't bear it, and many generals can't help but want to find a cool place to rest!

An hour and a half had passed, and Zhao Chen was still standing there, and most of the forbidden soldiers below had fallen!

Two hours passed, and Zhao Chen was still standing, and less than one-tenth of the forbidden soldiers below could stand!

Including Zhao Chen, everyone didn't eat at noon, many soldiers were hungry and tired, and some even wanted to die immediately!

There has never been such a training program as "standing" in ancient Chinese army training, which is a great test of endurance!

It's been two and a half hours, and the number of soldiers who can stand below is less than a hundred!

Zhao Chen finally stopped at this moment!

"Is this the Praetorian Army? On that day, I gave you the title of forbidden army, saying that I would restore you to the style of the founding era! But look at what you are like now? ”

"You are here to defend your family and country, and you are here to protect me! But now I'm still standing here, and you're all down! Can you defend your country and protect me? ”

"I'm just a twelve-year-old boy, and I can stand all the time, but you're all adults, can't you even stand still?"

Zhao Chen asked coldly above.

Many soldiers were lying on the ground, but after hearing such words, they felt ashamed, and some of them had already struggled to their feet! It's just that although they stood up, their bodies were still trembling because they were too tired!

"They all say that we Han people are not opponents of the Jurchens, I didn't believe it! But seeing you like this, how can I believe that you can beat the Jurchens? It seems that you can't rely on you, if you really meet the Jurchens, I am the only one who rushes up! Zhao Chen said in disappointment.

"Your Majesty, I'm ashamed!" There were soldiers below bowing their heads.

Zhao Chen looked at this soldier, he knew that this soldier was a soldier who had been standing just now! At this moment, his face was flushed, and he was obviously extremely ashamed.

"What's your name?" Zhao Chen said.

"Villain Wang Ying! We were originally protecting Your Majesty, but who knew that we were not as good as Your Majesty, so we were extremely ashamed! This soldier named Wang Ying said.

"You're good! To be able to stand with me for so long is far better than anyone else! I remember your name! Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Ying said gratefully.

"Your Majesty, I'm ashamed!"

Soon, there was a voice of shame below! Countless soldiers struggled to their feet, their heads drooping, their hearts extremely ashamed! At this moment, even those generals are hanging their heads, and they are extremely ashamed in their hearts!

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't train them well, and he was ashamed in his heart!" Yue Fei also said.

"It's good to know shame! What I'm afraid of is that you don't have the slightest shame! Mencius said that if you know shame and then be brave, if you know shame, then train hard in the future! I will be with you every day from now on, and you will not be worse than me! If you can't even compare to me, why do I believe that you can defend your family and country, and why do I believe that you can defeat the Jurchens and King Kang? Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers below and said word by word.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will train hard and never slack off!"

"Your Majesty rest assured, what Your Majesty can do, why can't we?"

"Your Majesty is so able to endure hardship, why can't we endure hardship?"

The soldiers below gritted their teeth at this moment, each expressing their determination!

Zhao Chen's face finally showed a smile and said, "Very good!" You must be tired after standing in the sun for so long today! You drink some water first, have a good rest, and I want to discuss the affairs of the army with your General Yue!" From tomorrow, I will train with you in the barracks! ”
