Listening to the excited shouts like a wave on the school ground, Chongzhen covered his hands twice and signaled everyone to be quiet. After a while, calm returned to the school grounds. Chongzhen knew that although the soldiers were quiet, they were still very excited in their hearts, and they couldn't calm down for a long time, so why wasn't he like this?

"Are you willing to fight for me, for my Ming Dynasty, for my Han people, and for thousands of Han compatriots in the world?"

"Yes, yes!"

After calm returned to the school field, Chongzhen continued: "Okay, you are all my pro-army, and you are the backbone of my Ming Dynasty. From now on, you must train hard and expand the territory for my Ming Dynasty in the future. I have a saying, the so-called 'sweat more in peacetime, less blood in wartime', although people die in war, but the harder you work, the smaller the chance of dying or being injured in battle, Daming, I need you, I can't do without you!"

Cao Wenzhao listened to it on the side, and also felt that what Chongzhen said was exquisite, especially the sentence "sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime", which is even more reasonable.

"In this way, from now on, I will often come to the new military camp to inspect and select three teams from among you to train with me. And the two teams that will be selected must be the best among you. Therefore, from today onwards, an inter-group battle drill will be held on the first day of the new month of each month, and the two teams that win in the end can train with me in that month. ”

This idea was improvised by Chongzhen, one of the purposes of which was to exercise his body. The martial arts of Emperor Chongzhen in history are still quite good, and he can pull a hard bow with three stones, but if he doesn't exercise too much, no matter how good his body is, he will be wasted. The other is to let the new army compete with each other, and there will be progress only if there is competition, after all, there are only two groups of places. In order to fight, the soldiers will train harder in order to win the competition.

Sure enough, after hearing Chongzhen say this, the soldiers of the new army were all gearing up, and secretly determined that their group must win the competition.

According to the rules set by Chongzhen, there are five main types of training in the new army: long-distance running, combat training, military posture and step training, bird shooting training, and reading and literacy.

In addition to the above training, there is also another sand table deduction training. This sand table is not the modern kind of software, but Chongzhen ordered people to pile up simulated terrain with sand on a large square table for soldiers to use to simulate combat. This is equivalent to an interest class, and interested soldiers can go and have fun.

In Cao Wenzhao's big tent, four small flags stood inside.

"Liheng, what did you say Mr. Cao was looking for us?" The big man asked.

"I don't know, there should be something important!" Liheng said. He is Yan Yingyuan Yan Liheng, and he is a small flag at this time.

"Could it be that you're going on a campaign?" A small flag as white as a scholar next to him asked.

"Haha, it would be great if it was true. I've wanted to go on the battlefield and kill the enemy for a long time!" The big man laughed.

"Big Tiger, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it! Let's not say that we haven't been training for a long time, and we haven't heard of any important actions recently, and His Majesty has asked us to train hard, which means that it is not yet time to go on the expedition!" A young man walked over and patted the big man on the shoulder and said.

When Dahu heard the young man's words, his face suddenly showed a disappointed expression and said, "Won't it?" So when will we be able to go to the battlefield and kill Jianju? My hands are itching!"

Yan Yingyuan said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Big Tiger, there will be a chance, now our task is to train hard, so as not to have the high hopes of the saint!"

At this time, I don't know who shouted: "Mr. Cao is here!"

Immediately the people stood upright.

Under the gaze of everyone, Cao Wenzhao walked into the big tent, and then, a handsome young man also walked into the big tent, who was this person not Chongzhen.

The four of them immediately saluted: "See Your Majesty!"

Chongzhen walked to the handsome chair and sat down, glanced at the four small flags in front of him, and said, "All the ministers are exempt!"

"I heard from Mr. Cao that you are all very interested in sand table deduction, and you are very good at this sand table deduction!"

After listening to what Chongzhen said, the four of them figured it out, it turned out to be because of the sand table! When the big tiger heard that he was not going to fight, his face suddenly showed disappointment.

"Can any of you deduce the situation in Liaodong for me?"

"I am not talented, I am willing to deduce for Your Majesty!" A scholar-like small flag came out of the line to hug his fist.

"What's your name?" Chongzhen looked at the small flag in front of him, and his first feeling was that he was the kind of talent who was also a genius.

"Humble Zhou Shang." The little flag replied

Chongzhen asked: "Zhou Shang, I don't think you are like a person in the army, but more like a student in the academy."

"Back to Your Majesty, the humble post does have a meritorious reputation, but now the construction of the scourge of Liaodong, although the humble post is not talented, but also willing to follow the example of the Han Dingyuan Marquis, abandon the pen and throw himself into Rong, and eliminate Yidi for my Ming Dynasty!" Zhou Shang said excitedly.

"Okay, I really need people like you to open up territory and make contributions for my Ming Dynasty."

"Humble duty is also coming!" The big tiger came out of the ranks and said with a big grin.

"What's your name?" Chongzhen looked at the grinning rough man in front of him.

Gao Shiming looked at the big tiger, but he looked disdainful, this vulgar man is too ignorant of the rules, right? But Chongzhen didn't think so at all, he felt that this man was honest enough and true to him.

"Your Majesty, my name is Zheng Dahu."

"Okay, Zheng Dahu, it's up to you and Zhou Shang to have a discussion, let me see, how about it?"

The two of them clasped their fists at the same time and saluted: "Obey"

Then, the two walked behind the screen and sat down, and several soldiers walked in and stood by the sand table, waiting for the two to give orders.

After the two of them each allocated 50,000 "troops" (100 flags simulated, and one flag simulated 500 troops), Zheng Dahu took the lead and dispatched 5,000 "troops" to attack Zhou Shang.

And Zhou Shang was not in a hurry, stuck to the city, and then sent another 1,000 "troops" to carry out guerrilla harassment.

After some competition, Zheng Dahu changed from offensive to defensive. In the end, Zheng Dahu's "base camp" planted Zhou Shang's banner, and Zheng Dahu was defeated.

"Smack! Syllable! Smack!" Chongzhen clapped his hands, and the rest of the people applauded, Chongzhen said with a smile: "Okay, it's really intense, both of them are good, it's just that Zheng Dahu, you are too eager to enter, and you can't go to the battlefield in the future!"

When Chongzhen said this, Zheng Dahu touched the back of his head in shame and said, "Yes!"

"Which of the two of you will have a discussion with Zhou Shang?" Chongzhen turned back to the other two small flags and said.

"Your Majesty, Yan Yingyuan is willing to have a fight with Brother Zhou." Yan Yingyuan said.

"Yan Yingyuan? Yan Dian History!" When Chongzhen heard this, he was instantly stunned, and his mouth was open enough to stuff several eggs.

Yan Yingyuan saw Chongzhen's reaction and wondered, why did Your Majesty react so much when he heard my name?

"Classical history? Back to Your Majesty, the humble position is not a classic history, but a small flag. ”

"Your cousin is Liheng?" Chongzhen asked tentatively. If it is true, then you can pick up the treasure, you know, the history of Yan Dian Shi can lead 60,000 people, in the face of 240,000 Qing army iron cavalry, more than 200 heavy artillery, to defend the lonely city for 81 days, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost three kings and eighteen generals, and killed more than 75,000 soldiers, that ability is not covered. If this Yan Yingyuan in front of him is Yan Dianshi, then as long as he is properly promoted, he will be a good general!

"Your Majesty, how do you know the words of the humble list?" Yan Yingyuan said suspiciously, and then found that he was rude, and hurriedly said: "Despicable gaffe, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!"

"It's okay" Now Chongzhen can be sure that the Yan Yingyuan in front of him is his own idol-level figure in history, Yan Dianshi. "As for why I know your words, guess!" Regarding Yan Yingyuan's question, Chongzhen had no choice but to play a scoundrel, he couldn't tell him that I was your fan, and I was from hundreds of years later.

Faced with Chongzhen's answer, Yan Yingyuan didn't think much about it, and he didn't want to ask again, thinking that it might be that the emperor had read the roster when he joined the new army, and he just remembered his name!

"Then please Yan Liheng and Zhou Shang have a lesson or two!" Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Obedience!" The two said in unison.

Chongzhen believes and admires Yan Yingyuan's ability in history, but after all, Yan Yingyuan is still very young now, and it is unknown what his ability is.
