In the west school field of Beijing Normal City, the battle flag is fluttering, the war drums are rumbling, and nearly 10,000 generals and soldiers are repeatedly charging on the school field, with neat phalanxes, sharp firearms, and a voice of serving the country with a heart, and the sound waves echo over the school field.

This school field was originally the training ground of the three major battalions, covering a wide area, and tens of thousands of horses and horses were also opened. This drill was arranged very carefully, taking into account the changes in various complex formations, as well as the formation time, the time of the rush and many other factors. Even the newly equipped Franc cannon, bird guns and other firearms were also performed.

The school field was filled with gunsmoke, the target was blown to pieces, and the soldiers rushed from one side to the other as if they were tired, and then returned to their positions according to the orders of the commander-in-chief. Including those who were in later generations, walking in the right step, practicing queues, etc., Yang Chengzu also moved over and let the soldiers practice one by one. The effects of these things are mixed, but it must be admitted that at the time of the parade, this kind of queue and positive can really give a powerful visual impact.

Looking at hundreds of soldiers, walking through the arena with neat steps, and shouting long live in his mouth, no one knew what the young man was thinking, but he could only see that his hand was holding the hilt of the sword, and his knuckles were a little white.

The ministers who accompanied him today, such as Liao Ji, the secretary of the ministry, Sun Jiao, the secretary of the household department, Jin Xianmin, the secretary of the military department, and Li Yue, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, all had experience in leading troops. Either they have suppressed thieves in the mainland, or they have led soldiers to fight in the nine sides, and they are considered to be the group of people who are extremely capable of soldiers. They don't ask stupid questions, they don't pick bones in their eggs, on the contrary, they don't hesitate to praise the merits of this unit.

In the Beijing Division, they watched a lot of drills from the soldiers, and the three major battalions had to organize drills several times a year, and all localities had to organize drills to select officers and men when they went to work. Among them, there are also some strong troops, or some people, who are very prominent figures in the army. They have special skills, and they will also perform some of their own skills when they can exercise. Those people are clever in their means, and when they show it, even if they are ordinary martial arts masters, they can't compare to them.

In the capital division, each lord's mansion has its own armed forces, and the military companions in the hands of those eunuchs are often men with strong martial arts. But these military companions or family members, no matter how good their personal performance is, in the eyes of these ministers, they are actually brave husbands. Similar to how humans look at gorillas, they don't really appreciate a certain orangutan just because they are stronger, or because an orangutan is the king of the group. And these bigwigs, for the team in front of them, really showed an appreciative look, and began to be optimistic about them from the bottom of their bones.

This kind of optimism is not only the quality of the performance, but more importantly, they see the qi of this army. This kind of qi is different from the bravery and recklessness of the border army, and it is also different from the glitz of the Beijing camp, but it is like a sharp blade that has been hidden in the sheath for many days. When such troops are brought to the battlefield, even if they are captured in the north, they will not dare to despise them.

Looking at the changes in the sundial, Liao Ji looked at Jin Xianmin, "Brother Rongxi, how many hours have these soldiers been killed?" ”

"Two hours, two full hours." Jin Xianmin was originally in the Imperial Court of the Left Capital, but after Peng Ze was dismissed, he also stepped up and became the secretary of the Ministry of War. Although he was originally the head of the official, he also had the experience of leading troops to fight, and of course he knew what it meant to rush and kill for two hours.

Although these soldiers did not really encounter the enemy, the weight of their armor did not change, and this kind of back-and-forth charge, even if it was a border army, could not fight for that long. On the battlefield, it is this ability to endure war, which is enough to drag the enemy alive by means of repeated charges.

In the past, this kind of war-resistant energy only appeared in the northern thieves, and in the Ming army, there were only those henchmen around the general who had this quality, and the total number was not much. I have never seen such a team of nearly 10,000 people maintain such high morale and quality.

Sun Jiao looked at it, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Good means, really good means, even those family members around the border generals, I don't think they may have such strong combat power." When they lined up in formation, the formation was strict and orderly, which was very different from the casual style of the border army. In the mainland, you may be able to find those with strict formations, but it is said that the formation can still be maintained in the charge, and the formation is frequently changed, but it is never seen again. ”

"Perhaps, this is a ...... that has been drilled a long time ago" A little farther away, a subordinate officer of the military department, muttered in a whispered voice that could not be heard.

Xu Jie, as a favored minister, was also brought by the Son of Heaven to watch the exercise, and at this time, Jiajing suddenly called him over, "Xu Qing, you are a civil official, and you have never led soldiers." But Shouren Gong, the originator of your heart learning, is a famous general comparable to Li Weigong, you are his disciple, and you will not be bad. Tell me how this team is. ”

In the minister's opinion, this team is like a wolf and a tiger, which is enough to be called a strong soldier. As the lower official said, Yang Dudu has a good way to train his troops and lead his troops, and he is really the dry city of the country. If these soldiers are used on the battlefield, they are enough to be ten of them, and the ministers are bold and blunt, these 9,000 soldiers and armor are enough to reach 100,000 officials in the Shangjing battalion! ”

Jiajing nodded, but did not speak, until the last drill was completed, as the golden gong sounded, the soldiers rearranged their formation, according to their respective belongings, lined up, almost the same as when they were first prepared to be read.

At this time, the weather was already in summer, the temperature was hot, and under the sunlight, the beads of sweat on the foreheads of soldiers and officers flowed down their faces, fell to the ground, and then were absorbed by the soil and disappeared. However, everyone's figures did not move, standing tall and pine, as if the two hours of rushing and killing happened to others, and they had nothing to do with them.

Xu Jie took a step forward and whispered: "The weather is hot, and the ministers are afraid that the soldiers will work hard, can you let Yang Dudu give an order to let the sons and daughters remove their armor to show the grace of the emperor." ”

On the viewing platform, some middle- and lower-level officials who were standing a little farther away were also whispering about the weather. Others gently loosen one or two buttons to keep themselves cool. Jiajing had a lieutenant around him fanning the wind, but he still felt hot in his heart, and looking at the appearance of those soldiers, he obviously suffered a lot of crimes. Nodding, a little eunuch came to Yang Chengzu's ear and said a few words, Yang Chengzu shouted: "Wait for my orders, the whole army, disarm!" ”

The colonel who gave the order shouted the military order of the governor to disarm, and immediately the soldiers shouted down one after another, but the new army of the third battalion did not move, as if no one heard the order. Yang Chengzu shouted three times in a row, but the situation of the new army was still the same, and the atmosphere became quite embarrassing.

On the entire viewing platform, everyone was talking about something in a whisper, but after three consecutive orders were accepted by no one, no one spoke anymore, and the scene gradually became colder.

Jiajing's face did not show joy or anger, only looked at Yang Chengzu, and then looked at the soldiers below who were not moving like a mountain. Jin Xianmin suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book, please treat Yang Chengzu for the crime of not leading the troops strictly and being lazy in official duties." ”
