Toyun Fort.

As long as there is any free time, Zhao Ziliang will practice martial arts, practice cavalry archery and cavalry warfare, as a general, maybe martial arts are not the most important, the most important thing is to have resourcefulness, strategic and tactical thinking, and can command the army easily, but the general can not avoid fighting with the enemy on the battlefield, a general who can fight well can use his powerful martial arts skills to inspire morale at a critical moment, and give hope to the soldiers in times of crisis.

Zhao Ziliang held a stone lock on the school field, one in one hand, each stone lock weighed three hundred catties, this stone lock was for his exclusive use, and no one else in the castle could play with it, even Huo Kan, Zhao Chongyu and Jia Chongjun and others could only lift it once or twice, no matter more, it would not work, but Wei Meng's body was strong and did not lose, and he could lift it several times.

"Nine hundred and ninety-three, nine hundred and ninety-four, nine hundred and ninety-five, nine hundred and ninety-six······ Nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand" Zhao Ziliang sweated profusely and put down the stone lock, and finally completed the task of lifting the stone lock.

Strength and endurance training every day, lifting the stone lock a thousand times is essential, with the improvement of his whole body strength, the stone lock is getting heavier and heavier, from the initial fifty pounds of each stone lock, to the current three hundred pounds of each stone lock, which has passed three months.

Nowadays, Zhao Ziliang's maximum strength has reached 1,000 catties, and the stone lock of 300 catties can be easily completed by lifting 300 catties per hand, and lifting 1,000 times a day is the training of strength and endurance.

After lifting the stone lock, Zhao Ziliang began to squat weight-bearing strength training after resting for three minutes, putting four hundred pounds of discus at both ends of the iron barbell on the iron frame, during this time his squat weight-bearing strength has increased to eight hundred pounds, carrying the barbell on his shoulders, squatting down, and then standing up, he must complete a thousand times in an hour, and the rest in the middle cannot exceed three times, and each rest cannot exceed three minutes, which requires that each squat stand up can not exceed three seconds.

In the past, when Zhao Ziliang began to carry out such training, all the soldiers who practiced on the school field couldn't help but stop and watch, and sometimes there were even many onlookers, after all, Zhao Ziliang's strength was too scary, and no one did not admire and envy it, but after a long time, he saw more, and the soldiers were not so strange and rare, and now he was the only one on the strength training ground, and the other military leaders and soldiers were either on duty, or picking wild vegetables and harvesting forage outside the fort to prepare for the winter.

It took another hour to complete a thousand squats and weight-bearing training, he drank a bowl of water, took a towel and wiped his sweat, and then he had to complete an hour of weight-bearing endurance running, without pausing in the middle, the weight was three hundred pounds, he put a special cowhide vest on his body, and tied sandbags to his arms and legs, the sandbags were filled with iron filings, and the pockets of the cowhide vest were filled with iron pieces, and the total weight reached three hundred pounds.

Anyone who has tried it knows that running is nothing for a person, as long as there is nothing wrong with the legs and feet, you can run a distance, but you have to run after carrying weight, which is not so easy, the more weight you bear, the greater the load and pressure on the body, and it is even more difficult to run.

During training, there is a special guard for him to pay attention to the time and the number of times he completes, but he will also silently time and count in his own mind, so that his brain will not pause, and he will not be trained to be a stupid hat with developed limbs and a simple mind.

Squat training after completing the training of the stone lock can allow the upper limbs to rest and recover, and after completing the squat weight training, then carry out weight-bearing endurance running, so that the muscles of the whole body can be stretched and contracted, because the training of large strength will make the muscles tired, injured, blood stasis, and muscle fibers will grow thicker, which will affect the degree of muscle stretching, will affect the body's sensitivity and reaction speed, and running again at this time will reduce this effect.

After completing the weight-bearing endurance run, Zhao Ziliang came to the shooting range for bow and arrow archery practice, at this time the arm has been almost rested, he first set up a fixed target on foot, the number of archery is a thousand times, due to the relationship of time, Zhao Ziliang can only keep taking the arrow and opening the bow and arrows, no aiming, only by feeling, the left hand shot 500 times, and then replaced the right hand to shoot 500 times, half an hour to shoot a thousand times, even so, he shot a thousand times again sweating again.

Complete the archery of the fixed target, the next step is to shoot the moving target, there are soldiers who keep taking out wooden blocks from the basket and throwing them into the air, Zhao Ziliang shoots arrows during the time when the wooden blocks fly into the air and fall, sometimes when the wooden blocks fall, they can shoot three to four arrows, and sometimes they can only shoot one or two arrows.

When the soldiers practiced archery and mounted archery, Zhao Ziliang stipulated that the soldiers must complete 1,000 times of archery training every day, but in fact, after arrangement and adjustment, each soldier could only complete 200 times of archery practice at most every day.

Next, Zhao Ziliang spent a few more hours to complete the training of mounted archery and cavalry combat, and then practiced the nameless lance method for two hours in a row.

By dusk in the evening, Zhao Ziliang finally completed the amount of training he had set for himself. As soon as he wiped his sweat, Zheng San walked briskly from a distance.

"Brother Liang, today is the last day for the gang to pick wild vegetables and harvest forage, and by now, it's over!"

Zhao Ziliang took a breath and asked, "Oh, what was the result?" ”

Zheng San said: "The second group of the third team picks the most wild vegetables and harvests the most forage, followed by the third group of the first team, and the first group of the cavalry team again!" The least number is the second group of the second team, and the other seven groups are in the middle! ”

Zhao Ziliang wiped off his sweat, put on a satin robe and underwear, and put on a thick sheepskin outside, and then put the armor on his body, Zheng San helped him tie the sides of the armor.

Picking up the helmet belt, Zhao Ziliang walked out of the school yard and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zheng San quickened his pace to keep up, and said: "Yes, there are three more things, first, Mrs. Meng sent someone to send a message to say that all the grain has been transported back to Shule Town to find a house to store it, she reassures you." The second thing is that the ordnance and food rations allocated from above have been delivered, but ······."

Zhao Ziliang didn't stop, turned his head and asked, "But what?" ”

Zheng Shan's mouth moved, but he didn't speak.

Zhao Ziliang frowned, "Say!" ”

"No!" Zheng San agreed, gritted his teeth and said: "But the food and salary sent are only 500 people, and we now have more than 600 people, which means that there are still more than 100 people who cannot receive food and salary, and the above is still allocated according to the previous number of troops, not according to the current number of troops!" I personally went to the town guard mansion yesterday to find Lord Dugu who joined the army, but Lord Dugu said that the number of troops in our Tuoyun Fort recorded in the military register of the town guard mansion was only 500 people! Therefore, the armament and food can only be allocated in the number of five hundred".

Zhao Ziliang was furious when he heard this: "Bastard! I have already submitted the list of 600 people, why is it that only 500 people are paid? There's definitely something wrong with that! ”

Zheng San hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Liang, I asked someone to inquire, and the situation in other places is similar, and there are more or less some soldiers who can't get their salaries!" ”

"Then what happened to the generals and colonels of the other cities, garrisons, forts, and garrisons?"

Zheng San smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" Every soldier can't get enough food, for example, our Tuoyun Fort, there were originally more than 600 people, but there were only 500 people's salary, and the officials divided the 500 people's food and salary equally to more than 600 people, so that although everyone could not get the full amount of food, it could ensure that everyone could get some, and the soldiers would not be too dissatisfied! If there are black-hearted generals who deduct some from it, each soldier can get even less food, and you don't know, we have been here for more than two years, and we have never received a full amount of food and salary every month, and this has become the norm, and this is basically the case when the lord of Xibao is here, and it is basically the same everywhere else."

Listening to Zheng San's words, Zhao Ziliang's face became extremely ugly, he had never cared about the amount of food and salary before, and every time he paid money, he didn't count it, he took as much as he wanted, but he didn't expect that the soldiers' food and salary had never been paid in full.

He turned his head and said, "I've only paid my salary once since I took up the position of castle lord, so I didn't pay the full amount that time?" ”

Zheng San shook his head and said, "No, although you have your own money, I can't use your money to subsidize the soldiers, right?" I think the public is public, the private is private, and it can't be mixed together. Even if you use your own money to subsidize the soldiers, they don't know and think they deserve it! ”
