339, the old era is embarrassed and today's tiger (3)
Meng Wei really couldn't understand why he had to pay attention to this and that.
Don't run too loudly, too fast, not too slow, don't look around...... You must not even leave the queue to run alone, you must be in the queue and maintain your formation.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to understand, if he understands this set, he must admit that these "tiger guards" are reasonable. This kind of formation running can exercise the soldiers' physical fitness and perseverance, and at the same time, it can also initially cultivate their team spirit and sense of battlefield discipline.
Because they were marching all the way, Zhang Zheng, who was responsible for leading these people north, could only use his brains to change the queue training in Pingyueli to the current formation to run, which not only did not delay the march, but also played a training role.
When he was thinking about Zhang Zheng, Meng Wei saw him.
Carrying the same weight as ordinary soldiers, no, even carrying a greater weight, Zhang Zheng was covered with sweat and ran towards him. When he saw Meng Wei, Zhang Zheng grinned, he knew this veteran oil, the most sneaky one among the Denglai soldiers.
But this guy is still smart, those guys who secretly conspired to make a mutiny, Zhang Zheng did not hesitate to enforce the military law - including Meng Wei.
This kind of thunderbolt method suddenly made Denglai soldiers feel alarmed, and Meng Wei still remembers the conversation between Sun Lin and Zhang Zheng that he overheard at the beginning.
Sun Lin said: "These soldiers are newly returned to me, and they are trying to marry with kindness, why are you so ruthless? ”
"The general soldier does not know, if time permits, we can try to slow down, and make it return to the heart. However, now that the military situation is urgent, perhaps we will have to fight when we go to Gyeonggi, and then we will not obey the orders and be cowardly in battle, and it will be too late to deal with them by military law. Moreover, petty officials train troops, military discipline is the first priority, and violations of discipline must be punished. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng didn't say any more, but Sun Lin was a little red-faced: "Okay, okay, then it's up to you, I know that you will move Jimin out, you guys, others quote scriptures and classics, but you all lead Jimin!" ”
At that time, Meng Wei knew that Sun Lin, the chief soldier of the unparalleled divine marksmanship, could not help this Zhang Tuanzheng - this was the strange official position of the tiger guards. However, whether it is Sun Lin or Zhang Zheng, they all admire the same person, and even all the tiger guards admire that person.
Sun Lin called him Yu Jimin, while Hu Wei called him an official, a son, or the head of the family.
"Do you kid want to beg for a fight again?" Seeing that he was a little distracted, Zhang Zheng smiled slightly.
Meng Wei suddenly felt a hot pain in his buttocks, although he was at least five years older than Zhang Zheng in terms of age, but Zhang Zheng called him "boy", but he didn't dare to talk back.
"I'm going to assemble, I'm going!"
He hurried over and joined his ranks. Looking at his back, Zhang Zheng shook his head, these soldiers are full of bad habits, and it is not an overnight thing to correct them.
However, he didn't expect them to be like Tiger Guard, thinking of his identity, Zhang Zheng felt proud, and he was reluctant to share this pride with the veteran ruffians.
Suppressing water bandits, fighting rogue gangsters, conquering Annan, frustrating Jianlu, what the Ming officers and soldiers could not do, they have all done it, whether it is to protect the territory and the people, or to promote foreign prestige, they have done better than any Ming officers and soldiers at this time!
This kind of pride is not boasted, but fought hard, and it is watered by the sweat of peacetime and the blood of wartime. Therefore, not only soldiers like Meng Wei, but also the five hundred newcomers who had not participated in any battle, Zhang Zheng did not think that they were already qualified to share this pride with him.
Whether you are qualified or not depends on this battle. Jianyu ...... I heard that it was an unprecedented enemy, and it was exciting to think about it.
After they went north, they did not directly meet Yu Guozhen, nor did they go to the Shenji Horse Farm, so what the people sent by Azig saw in the Shenji Horse Farm was still only a camp of less than 200 people.
This is also what Yu Guozhen deliberately did, and he was convinced that when the news of his attack on Azig to meet the ground reached his ears, Azig, who had already eaten a lot of fat in Gyeonggi, had only one thing left to do: kill himself and discourage. Therefore, it was necessary to confuse Azig into believing that he would always have less than two hundred men, so that he would not dare to confront Jianyu head-on.
Zhang Zheng didn't know Yu Guozhen's plan, he only knew that according to the arrangement of the officials, he would rush to meet him under Yangfeng early this morning. He led the team to practice so early, firstly, it was a routine, and secondly, he hoped to see Yu Guozhen as soon as possible.
I haven't seen a petty official for more than half a year, and I'm really worried about it.
The friendship between Yu Guozhen and the Huwei teenagers in the first three phases of the Hosoyanagi Courtyard is quite deep, and most of these teenagers were pulled out by Yu Guozhen in a desperate realm. Not only did they pull it out for them to provide them with food and clothing, but also taught them skills, and most importantly, when they gradually understood their position in this era, they also understood what they could gain under Yu Guozhen with what they had learned so far.
It is precisely with this sober understanding that no matter how Shi Kefa and Lu Xiangsheng persuaded them, and even promised to be a high-ranking official, there was still no one who had more than three periods of family guards to join them. However, a few people in the fourth and fifth phases were originally a little moved, they were not like the first three issues and Yu Guozhen often worked together, and their feelings were a little lighter, coupled with the values of "learning to become a literary and martial artist, and selling the emperor's family" at this time, they were inevitably contaminated.
However, after being scolded by the officers of the first three periods, and being nagged by the military teaching, they also dispelled this idea, not to mention anything else, when they arrived among the officers and soldiers, what could they do if they were the chief soldiers, and they had to kneel and kowtow when they saw a higher level than themselves. In the home guards, they don't have to kneel to anyone, and they just salute in front of their superiors. Even in the face of Yu Guozhen, at most, they only knelt down on one knee when they were excited, expressing their joy and sincerity!
If you talk about being promoted and making a fortune, as long as you have the ability, you can still be promoted among the tiger guards, let alone make a fortune, which of these tiger guards is not in Hoi An! Although the merit field is not managed by other people, but every year according to the field of silver, allowed to pass on, plus the monthly salary, all kinds of war rewards, when these are all added up, the guards have calculated, as long as the five years of the guard, the family of several thousand taels of silver is placed. In this era, if you can have a few thousand taels of silver in your family, you can say that you are a middle-class family.
In addition, it is glory, the honor brought by successive victories, as long as the family guard is mentioned in the Nanzhili area, which one does not raise the thumbs up and say a heroic hero, on the contrary, when it comes to officers and soldiers, which one is not a disdainful and derogatory sentence of wine bags and rice bags?
Coupled with Yu Guozhen's command skills displayed in previous battles, Huwei realized that only under his command could he move from victory to victory.
Zhang Zheng sorted out his thoughts and climbed to a slightly higher place, and after a while, the tiger guards began to assemble in front of him, and then those Denglai soldiers also came over in style. Although there is still a big gap compared to Tiger Guard in terms of speed and neatness, it is at least much better than the messy appearance at the beginning.
It's not that the Ming army doesn't act, but by this time, there are already obvious signs of the end of the world, and most of them like Denglai soldiers are perfunctory. So much so that Lu Xiangsheng recruited thousands of villagers to train for a year before he could become a Tianxiong army, and Sun Chuanting even pulled out a group of local people from Yulin to fight the new king Li Zicheng with a little training.
When Zhang Zheng was about to give a lecture, he suddenly saw a sentry saluting in the distance, and his heart suddenly moved, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Yu Guozhen, Sun Lin and others riding over.
Although he was far away, he also recognized Yu Guozhen at a glance, and seeing that he didn't speak, the sergeants were a little strange and looked over there, of course the tiger guards recognized it as Yu Guozhen, but the Denglai soldiers didn't know him.
"The officials are here!" I don't know who shouted, and then all the tiger guards immediately looked over there.
Zhang Zheng reacted at this time and shouted a command: "Turn back!" ”
For the tiger guards, it has become their instinct to carry out this kind of order, as soon as the password is finished, they swipe it, and they all turn back, facing the direction of Yu Guozhen, and the Denglai soldiers are a little familiar these days, a little slower, and a little scattered, but they still act according to the password.
Meng Wei looked at the crowd of people who were coming quickly on horseback, and he was a little surprised to see them in the same uniform as the Tiger Guard, he didn't expect that there was already a Tiger Guard here.
Then he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Zhang Zheng, who had always been calm and self-controlled, suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Salute!" ”
There was a gust of wind blowing around suddenly, it was the air flow brought by the two thousand tiger guards when they marched and saluted, and one by one the tiger guards straightened their waists and raised their heads, and shook their hands towards Yu Guo, and performed the military salute of the tiger guards. A pair of eyes stared at Yu Guozhen, his eyes were full of loyalty and respect, and Yu Guozhen also got off the horse, raised his hand above the tip of his eyebrows, and returned a simple salute.
This simple salute is a re-simplification of the forked hand salute, and after the tiger guard is equipped with a helmet, the action of pushing the mask on the face armor has evolved into this simple salute - this is also Yu Guozhen's explanation to everyone. This light salute is mainly used to facilitate the movement of the salute, while the cross hand salute is suitable for standing still.
Yu Guozhen raised his hand and walked in front of the tiger guards one by one, and without waiting for his command, the tiger guards accompanying him all slowed down, allowing Yu Guozhen to walk through the queue alone. This glory belongs to Yu Guozhen alone, and no one can share it with him.
Seeing the young man pass by in front of the queue, the eyes of the crowd followed closely wherever he went. Meng Wei suddenly had a thought in his heart: The eldest husband should be like this!
Before that, he had seven or eight years of military career, what kind of life was there!
There was silence all around, only the sound of Yu Guozhen's brisk footsteps. The wind in the distance, the smell of steamed meat buns in the barracks kitchen, usually this time, is the most anticipated time of the day for Meng Wei - as long as he boils for a while, he can go to eat.
But today, he suddenly didn't have that in mind.
In the past, it was said that it was like an embarrassment, and it was not enough to boast about it, but now it is said that when I see a tiger, I am willing to be a minion.
