In the second year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, the tenth day of April.

Qingyuan Mansion, outside Yin County.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Dozens of leather-clad soldiers with wooden sticks shouted loudly in the flying dust, stabbing forward. Several veterans who had been sharpened by Ye Yingwu who had returned from the bloody battle were turning back and forth in these stunned greens, and found that the lazy ones were whipped.

"It's still too small." Ye Yingwu stood on the humble platform, looking at the soldiers roaring in the yellow sand, and couldn't help but sigh a little disappointed. In fact, not only is the number too small, but these soldiers are still wearing leather armor that has no defensive effect on the bow and crossbow with greater strength, and it seems that the status and treatment should be good Qingyuan Mansion, because Jia Rudao and his party deliberately make things difficult, and they don't even have high-quality armor, and they can make up the blades of more than 100 people.

Just experienced the first battle in his life, although it is a cold weapon, although the two sides are only fighting a few hundred people, but the cruelty of the war has far exceeded the scope of a rich second generation who grew up since childhood, at this time, he has thoroughly understood why more soldiers and generals are the last word, looking at these soldiers who belong to him, there will always be an inexplicable sense of security.

"Yuanlie, don't you don't know the blessing in the blessing, it's only been two days, and there will be people coming over one after another, all of them are bloody young and strong, and they are already responsible for guarding the land, plus Ye Xiang has publicly paid a lot of food, and I'm afraid that no one will come?" Wen Tianxiang had a satisfied expression, "If it goes on like this, it will be no problem to recruit both in a few days, will it be possible to call you Ye Dutou then?" ”

Since the Song Dynasty, there are many ways for the people to enter the ranks, such as the imperial examination, the shade, the regent, the special name, the bone official, the Na Li and the military supplement, the recommendation of relatives, etc., that is, the imperial examination will be divided into two categories, Jinshi and Zhuke, and Ye Yingwu served as this small capital, in fact, he took the path of Ziyin, that is, to receive the grace of his ancestors or fathers, since the Southern Song Dynasty, the highest official rank of this way has been limited to six grades, but this small capital head does not even have the qualifications to enter the product, so even if the court is full of Jia Nidao and a party, No one spoke out against it.

Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes and directly ignored Wen Tianxiang's ridicule: "These are all personally selected by me, they all have brothers in their families who are responsible for inheriting the incense, and they don't have a family yet, so even if they leave with them in the future, it is estimated that it will be ・・・・・・."

Wen Tianxiang's face changed slightly: "I'm afraid it's ・・・・・・ like this."

Looking up at the somewhat gloomy sky, Ye Yingwu laughed softly: "In the world of great contention, if there is a soldier, the king of grass, this point of truth, senior brother, you won't not understand." ”

Rao is Wen Tianxiang is full of economy, and he has nothing to say in front of Ye Yingwu's reason. After all, the bloody battle he had just experienced had touched him deeply, and if it had been before, he might have quoted scriptures to refute a few words, but now when he thinks of those wailing wounded soldiers and abandoned pirates, the words of any saint and gentleman have been blocked in his throat, and he can't say it.

The world of great controversy, the world of great controversy, the Southern Song Dynasty was weak, and the country was in danger. For the troubled times that are getting closer and closer, Wen Tianxiang is not only not worried, but vaguely looks forward to it, heroes in troubled times, can he become the person who turns the tide and revives the Great Song Dynasty?

It's just that this guy next to him looks like a who, well, is an anti-thief.

"Ahem, senior brother, I have come up with some training methods, you can help me see if this will work." Ye Yingwu took out a set of drawings from his arms, either words or patterns, although a little sloppy, but it can be seen that Ye Yingwu has put a lot of effort into it.

These were some of the common training methods in later generations, but they were still new to the Song army 800 years ago.

Although Wen Tianxiang didn't know much about military affairs, when he saw these simple drawings and words, the light shot out of his eyes couldn't be concealed, for the first time, Wen Tianxiang looked at Ye Yingwu with admiration, and muttered: "Could it be that with a stick, you can have a child of anointed rice who becomes a genius in the world of warp and weft?" ”

For Wen Tianxiang's surprise, Ye Yingwu is also understandable, after all, the difference between the two people's thoughts and concepts is eight hundred years, no matter how smart Wen Tianxiang is, he can't imagine the height of military thinking after eight hundred years.

As for what kind of eyes his cheap dad will use, that is not something that Ye Yingwu plans to consider.

"By the way, my father has already played in the imperial court, and a certain person will serve as the head of this capital, and as for the secretary in charge of the army, I will ask Brother Song Rui to deign it." Ye Yingwu suddenly remembered something, said with a smile, and unconsciously changed his name to "so-and-so" with the same head as everyone else.

Tieting this new recruit Danzi and Wen Tianxiang to his chariot was only the first step Ye Yingwu took after the crossing, but it was also a crucial step. Otherwise, if Wen Tianxiang is allowed to leave after this incident, and return to Wenshan to drink and write poems all day long, it will be a violent thing.

Wen Tianxiang didn't seem to notice anything, he was kicked to the end because of his outspokenness, if it wasn't for Jiang Wanli and others to help, I'm afraid the family wouldn't be able to open the pot. Now this little secretary in charge of the army also has a lot of money, and he can always support his family, right?

Besides, he has a deep interest in Ye Yingwu, a big wonder who jumped out of nowhere, and he really wants to be a colleague with him.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Teams of recruits were desperately doing push-ups in the dust, and several veterans were holding whips in their hands, ** upper bodies, showing off their strong muscles without mind, and they didn't mind going up and giving the recruit a hard slap when he was slow.

Not far away, Yang Baozheng shouted slogans loudly and led many recruits to run around the small camp round and round, this purposeless circle made it difficult for many veterans to support, not to mention those recruits who had entered the barracks for a few days. However, the biggest advantage of being a soldier in Ye Yingwu, the head of the ya, is that when eating, there are enough strong pasta tubes such as steamed bread and rice to resist hunger, and even everyone can get a big fish for dinner.

Thinking about the hellish torture they endured during the day, and looking at the unimaginably sumptuous meals on the table, the recruits who have never seen much of the world think it's worth it. What's more, this head of the Yanei has already sent everyone's first month's salary to his personal hands, without any deduction, which has won the full support of Yang Bao and other veterans, so that Ye Yingwu has completely controlled this young army in a short period of time.

Ye Yingwu and Wen Tianxiang walked side by side in the camp, Ye Yingwu pointed to the corner of the camp, where many recruits were training to walk the balance beam and climb over the wall, because they were not skilled, there were a lot of falls. Ye Yingwu really didn't care much about this, after all, it was a long and outrageous process from unfamiliar to proficient.

"How?" Ye Yingwu was very satisfied.

Wen Tianxiang watched the head of the army walk by with a bowl full of hot rice and smiled, and couldn't help but nod, but it was difficult to hide his worry.

"Senior brother is worried about whether these recruits will be able to resist the pirates? Judging from the situation on the battlefield that day," Ye Yingwu paused, glanced at it casually, and sure enough, Wen Tianxiang listened attentively, "Although Haikou is a rabble, they rely on their large numbers, and there are too few veterans in the official army who have experienced battle formations, so they can fight with officers and soldiers several times and be invincible, but I think that this does not mean how strong their real individual combat effectiveness can be." As long as we can rely on the favorable terrain, it is not difficult to defeat it. ”

Although I don't understand what is called "individual combat effectiveness", it can be seen from Ye Yingwu's calmness and faintly revealed self-confidence that Ye Yingwu is still not too worried about the upcoming battle.

"Let's go, it's time, let's eat." Ye Yingwu looked at Wen Tianxiang, who was deep in thought, and smiled immediately, and there was no need to hide the rumbling stomachs of the two people.

Ye Yingwu has always eaten in the open air with the soldiers, although Wen Tianxiang knew that this seemed a little inappropriate, but when he saw the smiling faces of the soldiers, he couldn't refuse, so he could only sit on the ground again and again with the head of the Yanei who disregarded his identity.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The night was dark, and the camp, which had been lit up in the field, was suddenly illuminated by torches lit one after another. The sound of footsteps and shouts accompanied by the whistling sound of a whip cutting through the air completely broke the calm of the deep night.

"Hurry up, his grandmother, you lazy people, why are you so procrastinating, it seems that the whip is less, right, get out of the way!" The veterans shouted and cursed angrily, and the whip kept pumping on the **, making a muffled sound. Torches have been raised in rows, illuminating the surroundings.

The recruits weren't even dressed properly, shivering in the already cold sea breeze after dark, and looking at the veterans with a little resentment.

Ye Yingwu was dressed in a military uniform, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he had done enough kung fu on the surface. As for the new secretary of the army, Wen Tianxiang is also bright-eyed, hunting in the wind with his sleeves, and looking at the listless recruits below with hope.

"Too slow." Ye Yingwu said coldly, "Yang Bao! ”

Yang Bao, the leader of the team, strode over, you must know that Ye Yingwu asked him to come over from the pro-soldier team, but it took a lot of effort to speak, and in the end, it was Ye Mengding who personally went out to complete the matter.

"I'm not satisfied with the speed of these recruits' reactions, go, pass my orders, twenty push-ups for everyone, and the last ten people to get up, run around the camp three times, and go back to sleep when they're done!" Ye Yingwu's order revealed a dead coldness, and his left hand was slowly pressed on the hilt of the sword.

"Obey!" Yang Bao looked at the cold murderous aura that suddenly emanated from this delicate and noble ya, who had never been on the battlefield, although he didn't quite understand the few words with a strong modern charm that came out of Ye Yingwu's mouth, but he still heard the meaning clearly. At the moment, he didn't dare to hold it up in his heart, not to mention that it was not him who was punished, so he replied loudly immediately, and did not forget to glance at the recruits in the distance with pity.

What push-ups invented by the head of the Yanei, who seems to be weak and weak, is really the only magic weapon to punish these recruits, and in just one day, many recruits ran away when they heard these three words. However, it is said that this is only the initial method, and the highest level is called "confinement" by the unfathomable Yanei, which is literally just locked up in the house, and Yang Bao really can't understand what is terrible.

"Senior brother, let's go take a look first." Ye Yingwu said lightly, he didn't even bother to walk the steps on one side, and jumped directly from the not high point of the platform.

Although Wen Tianxiang couldn't get used to Ye Yingwu's corporal punishment, he also knew that this was the only way to let these recruits who were still carrying hoes in the field yesterday grow up quickly, and naturally it was not easy to stop them, so they could only follow Ye Yingwu and act as villains.

"Dutou, I'm not convinced! Who can get up so quickly in the middle of the night, not to mention that they have been training for so long during the day, and everyone is very tired. A tall man who stood out among the recruits suddenly stood up and said loudly.

A veteran standing not far away had his eyes glared, if it wasn't for Ye Yingwu waving his hand to stop him, the whip in his hand would have been drawn over his head and face.

"Well said, why, yes, why," Ye Yingwu showed a playful smile on his face, and looked back at Wen Tianxiang, Wen Tianxiang bowed slightly, Ye Yingwu smiled at the beginning, "Recruit, please answer Pontustou, if the thieves attack the camp tonight, do you have to wait for the veterans to wake you up with whips?!" I'm afraid that by that time, the thieves will have slaughtered all of you, not to mention any guards Sangzi, and you don't know what happened when you die! ”

Ye Yingwu paused, looking at the recruits, the resentment and doubt in their eyes had gradually dissipated, and were replaced by silence.

"You, fucking are a bunch of rubbish right now, and the task of a certain one, these veterans who were born and died, with their heads pinned to their belts, is to make you quickly grow into a pillar of talent that can support the tide of battle, a mainstay who can turn the tide! Behind you is the land of fertile land, the land of mulberry, so sharpened, do you have complaints?! Ye Yingwu's voice became louder and louder, overshadowing all the sounds in the quiet night, and the entire camp seemed to tremble and surrender in this loud and lonely voice.

"A certain person pleads guilty to the capital, but a certain short-sightedness." The tall recruit who had just come out knelt on one knee and said loudly with his fists clenched.

Seeing Ye Yingwu's eyes, Wen Tianxiang sighed softly, stepped forward to help the tall recruit up, after Ye Yingwu's white face was sung, it was time for him to sing the red face: "Soldiers, you are about to kill the enemy for the country, it is the hope of the future of the Great Song Dynasty, your hard work today will save your lives in the future, and it will also support the stability of the Great Song Dynasty." Here, although I, Wen Song Rui, am a powerless literati, I would like to thank you for your efforts. ”

The Song Dynasty originally emphasized literature over military force, and now the secretary in charge of the army personally came forward to appease and thank him in person, even those veterans were trembling slightly, and their hearts were churning with thousands of waves, not to mention that they had not seen any recruits in the world, many people were even moved to tears frequently, and many people beat their chests and shouted the slogan of defending Sangzi.

After all, it is the Taiping era, the spiritual needs are often greater than the material needs, the Taiping dog is better than the chaotic people, everyone knows that the Taiping life is not easy to come by, so as long as the little mention, it will be desperate, sometimes even more effective than gold and silver treasures. In addition, with the gradual deepening of the Confucian idea of loyalty to the monarch, the concept of family and country has gradually occupied a place in the hearts of some agricultural men, otherwise there would not have been a tragedy of 100,000 soldiers and civilians going to sea more than ten years later.

"Ahem," Ye Yingwu cleared his throat helplessly and took control of the situation, "I won't say anything more, but twenty push-ups, no one can run, those ten people, don't want to run one lap less, all for Lao Tzu, hurry up!" By the way, the one just now, what's your name. ”

The tall recruit shouted loudly while doing push-ups at a rapid pace, "Jiang Da! ”

"Yes, some guts." Ye Yingwu nodded lightly, which was regarded as an approval of this newcomer who looked a little naïve.
