Chapter 18: The Art of Forging the Body

Once people have been idle for too long, they will always feel uncomfortable, especially Tang Ming, Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Wei Haiwei returned to his usual calm. The defensive line with loopholes was also repaired by him, and with hundreds of cattle and horses to do labor, Tang Mingleng built a stone wall more than one meter high on the cliff.

Hybrid crops were also planted in the fields that were cleared, and when he was bored all day long, he could only take Xiaobai to wander around the barracks. originally thought that if he was fine, he would go to Dengzhou Mansion to have a look, but he was ordered to die by Yao Guangxiao, and he was not allowed to take half a step out of Weihaiwei.

Seeing that Weihaiwei is getting richer, the sergeants are also living a good life, the weapons are the latest, the military uniforms are also new, and now there is still a meal of meat to eat every day, and everyone is now a carefree and carefree day.

Tang Ming had been noticing this for several days, and he always felt in his heart that there seemed to be something missing in the barracks. As if the atmosphere in the barracks shouldn't be so harmonious and calm? While thinking about it, he wandered aimlessly, and when he came to the training ground and saw Li Ba training dozens of sergeants, he suddenly came to his senses.

The sergeants lacked the style, spirit, spirit, and god of being a soldier, and the soldiers of Weihaiwei did not have all of them. is still living as before, although Li Ba now does not have to worry about the soldiers not having enough to eat as before, he has also begun to organize people to practice every day. However, it still uses training methods unique to ancient times, and its effect is not great.

Taking advantage of Li Ba's leisure, Tang Ming pulled him aside and asked in a condensed voice, "Brother Li, do you train soldiers like this every day?" Line up to practice the bayonet gun, and there is nothing else to chop and chop? ”

The weather in May was already unbearable hot, and Li Ba had just finished training, sweating with his bare arms, looking at the sun in the sky that was constantly emitting heat, and replied casually: "This is how soldiers are trained in the barracks!" Unless it is a full-time soldier, and there is also a military led by a sergeant who has the art of forging the body, then there are some more powerful exercises. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ming thought about it, if this was the case, maybe he could try to use the methods in the modern army to train these soldiers, which should be much stronger than Li Ba.

"Brother Li, my brother has discussed something with you, can you let me be in charge of the training soldiers in the future?" Tang Ming looked at Li Ba with a serious face.

"You want to train soldiers?"

Li Ba's eyes widened, and he looked at Tang Ming in disbelief, from doubt to gradual understanding, he seemed to know why Tang Ming said this. As for the fact that he has nothing to do in the barracks every day since he was banned by Prime Minister Yao, he should be idle and want to find some spiritual sustenance, this small request, of course Li Ba, the eldest brother, will not refuse.

Patting Tang Ming's shoulder, Li Ba said very boldly: "Brother, just do it, my brother supports you!" ”

Tang Ming, who had been a soldier for three years in his previous life, of course knew the military body boxing in the army, but he had no choice but to make his body smaller after crossing over, not to mention, it seemed that his physical strength had also decreased a lot, but fortunately, he finally got used to it during this time, and he was no longer as weak as when he first came.

With spiritual support, people will also have motivation, and Tang Ming gathered the soldiers who were going to participate in the drill today. He also changed into a light suit, and after counting the number of people, he punched the military body in front of the soldiers. The body has not yet grown, and the strength is also lacking, after this military body punch, Tang Ming was already tired like a dog, lying on the ground and unable to get up.

Dozens of soldiers laughed, the originally vigorous military body was beaten by Tang Ming to be extremely funny, and the sergeant was not so much watching him box, but watching him play monkey.

Only Li Ba was in a lively state of mind at the beginning, but when he looked at it, he seemed to see some doorways, and silently practiced in his heart, and suddenly shook his body, grabbed Tang Ming, who was still squatting on the ground, and returned to the big tent, and asked: "Brother, where did you learn this boxing technique?" Although I was beaten by you, I feel that there is a lot of article in it, so tell me quickly. ”

"This is the body forging boxing that my master has always taught me, but it's a pity that I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't play its essence at all, and even the fight has changed. In fact, my set of boxing methods is only a single one, and there is also a set of forging techniques, as long as the two are combined, it is not difficult to create an elite soldier, and we only have three hundred people in Weihaiwei, so it is just right to use this method. Tang Ming was panting and pouting, and he didn't speak very neatly.

Li Ba was skeptical, and asked softly: "According to what you say, isn't it too easy to train a strong army?" Since ancient times, the art of forging the body is not passed on, and the strong armies of various dynasties have been honed on the battlefield. ”

Tang Ming rolled his eyes and explained angrily: "If a strong army does not have the technique of forging the body to lay a solid foundation, it can fight hard just by going to the battlefield, what are you kidding!" ”

Seeing that Li Ba still had a suspicious look on his face, Tang Ming knew that no matter how he explained, it would be useless, so he simply didn't talk to him, called him to the training ground, found dozens of large logs, and made the soldiers all kinds of obstacles.

After a little movement, you start running on the training ground, climbing over obstacles and crawling forward. After running a lap, Tang Ming was tired like a dog again, panting sharply, and motioned for Li Ba to go up and do it again.

Although these are not too difficult for a man like Li Ba, he is also slightly panting after running a lap, and it is almost the same as his usual practice of stone lock weightlifting.

Only then did Tang Ming pat him on the shoulder and said, "How is it?" Isn't it tiring? These are only temporary erections, and there are not enough obstacles. However, in order for the soldier to get into the state as soon as possible, we can start with the simple ones first, and then slowly increase the difficulty later. In fact, this is just like running in the jungle, as long as you can practice to walk through the mountains and forests like walking on the ground, then you are afraid that you will not be able to outrun the enemy on the battlefield. ”

Li Ba's eyes lit up, he suddenly realized, and he was no longer verbose, and began to run with the soldiers on the training ground. The novelty is gone, and some are just numb legs, and there are soreness all over the body.

When he reached the fifth lap, even Li Ba could no longer support it, and he fell directly to the ground panting with a plop. None of the soldiers present could still stand, and all of them were lying staggered and lying in the entire training ground.

Tang Ming was very satisfied with this effect, and he didn't care about the training ground of the people on the ground, and took Xiaobai back to his residence. He knew that his small body was not the material for leading soldiers, and now that Li Ba had understood the benefits of the body forging technique, he would naturally leave it to him, and he would only need to increase the difficulty every once in a while in the future, and ensure that the soldiers of Weihaiwei would be refreshed in less than a year.

The only regret is the weapon, and now the weapons used by the sergeants of Weihaiwei are too conventional, either knives or guns. As for the two cannons used for defense, Tang Ming was even more uninterested, not to mention that there was no gunpowder now, if there were, if he relied on these two cannons to defend, he was sure that he would die a miserable death.

Since you want to train the three whites of Weihaiwei into elite soldiers, then you must have matching weapons, and in addition to the Mitsubishi thorns, Tang Ming really can't think of anything better than this.

He didn't understand the techniques of frying iron at all, it was still very easy to use the current iron to make it, and the master who struck the iron was too slow to knock it with an iron hammer, Tang Ming simply made a mold, and poured it directly with molten iron, and when it cooled, it was a Mitsubishi thorn. I tried it on my soft armor and easily pierced it.

Although the materials are not good, the practicability is very good, Tang Ming ordered to go down and follow the method he demonstrated, make a few hundred more, and then go to the bath with Xiaobai. He had exercised more than he had done in the four months he had been here, and he was as tired as a dog, and he really had to take a good bath.

The weather in June was like a stove, and the earth was almost smoking. Even at night, it was so hot that he was already very tired, and he just lay down on the bed, and after a while, he was sweating all over. Tang Ming was very depressed, if it was in modern times, he should be blowing the air conditioner and drinking cold beer at this time.

But in this ancient world, it was difficult to sleep when it was hot, Xiaobai seemed to have too long white hair on his body, lying on the ground with his tongue stretched out, snorting and panting. Tang Ming, who couldn't sleep, simply got up and moved a small table to sit outside the door, took out a jar of wine that Zhu Di had appreciated, and prepared to drink a few glasses.

As soon as the wine jar was opened, Li Ba's voice sounded from the darkness in front of him: "Haha...... Brother, we really have a good heart, I just brought a few side dishes from the kitchen, and you have ready wine here. ”

Tang Ming was very suspicious that Li Ba was always paying attention to himself, otherwise it didn't make sense that as long as he drank, he would appear like a ghost. And most of the time, he also prepared his own dishes to accompany the wine, so many times like this no longer made Tang Ming feel strange.

Pour a bowl for himself and Xiaobai, and Tang Ming threw the rest directly to Li Ba, took a small sip, and immediately frowned. Tang Ming almost squirted out, only a little bit of wine in the twenties, although the degree was not high, but on this hot day, it was no different from drinking red-hot coals.

Li Ba doesn't seem to have his usual boldness, no longer dry one bowl at a time, just drink one sip at a time, put down the bowl Li Ba said with a smile: "Brother, big brother, without your consent, I took it upon myself to send someone to the superintendent of the Mitsubishi thorn you made in the afternoon, and I hope you don't get angry with your big brother, of course, even your body forging technique I will also tell you." ”

After speaking, he stared at Tang Ming carefully, waiting for the coming of the storm. It's just that to his surprise, Tang Ming didn't have any signs of going crazy, and he was still in that half-dead state.

"Alas! Actually, I guessed your identity early on, and as a spy who oversaw me, I am not surprised that you have reported these reports. Strangely, why did you come to tell me? Tang Ming touched Xiaobai's long hair and asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha......."

Li Ba suddenly laughed, poured a big sip of wine and said, "Because I really treat you as a brother!" ”

After saying that, there is no secret, the two of them are very happy, and the brotherhood has been sublimated because of Li Ba's words. Drinking and eating meat, there is nothing in the world that can compare, and it is more pleasant for brothers to be open-hearted.

This night, Tang Ming, Li Ba and Xiaobai were completely drunk, and no one went back to sleep, they fell directly to the ground drunk, and fell asleep with a hint of laughter.
