Chapter 28: The Way of Leading Soldiers

When I finished practicing the second section of Taizu Changquan three times, Yuan Jian finished reading the Shadowless Technique, and this time Yuan Jian watched it very carefully.

Yuan Jian saw that I had finished practicing and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's estimate, in a few more words, Your Majesty's second section of the long fist will be completed and fully comprehended." At the beginning of the new year, His Majesty will be able to learn the third section of Taizu Changquan, this third section of the move is more rigid, but extremely important, mainly to cultivate speed and strength, Your Majesty also saw Wen Zhang's martial arts before, in the face of absolute speed, the young man is not vulnerable at all, similarly, in the face of absolute power, the opponent is also vulnerable, of course, when fighting opponents with your speed and strength, there will be no absolute. This shadowless trick is worthy of the dragon and tiger mountain mastery, the minister thought that at the beginning of the next year, His Majesty can practice the third section of the long fist and the shadowless trick at the same time, the cultivation method of the shadowless recipe is not complicated, although its heart is slightly different from the heart of my Emperor Valley, but the basic truth is the same, and the shadowless step is also basically in line with the principle of the I Ching gossip, it can be said that this set of exercises is easy to learn and difficult to master, everyone will come to different conclusions according to their enlightenment, but it is extremely difficult to achieve the realm of no trace. For example, everyone started to learn from the Being, but Li Bai was only one person, so the minister could only teach His Majesty the basic cultivation method of the Shadowless Technique, and as for the subsequent cultivation, he could only rely on His Majesty to comprehend it himself. ”

"It's a bit like Go, when I was a child, my teacher said that Go is easy to move, but it's hard to master."

"It only takes an hour to learn Go, but it takes a lifetime to master it." Yuan Jian said, "It is precisely because of this that there is an unwritten rule in Longhu Mountain, those who are not surnamed Qi Gao are not allowed to practice the Shadowless Technique, they are worried that once they practice this exercise, it will affect other aspects of cultivation." ”

"There is some truth to that. Is there any news for the three Blue Feathers? ”

Yuan Jian said with a smile: "Your Majesty is anxious, these three people have only left Beijing for a few days, and it is estimated that they have just arrived in Shouchun at this moment." ”

I also smiled, in this era, there are no airplanes and cars, and I can only use horses to travel, not to mention that I have to avoid the Mongols, it is indeed not so fast: "I am in a hurry." ”

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of concern. Your Majesty, the Minister of the Dragon's Tooth Security Department has recruited two people, both of whom were friends of the minister when he traveled the world before, and they were loyal and courageous, and their martial arts were strong. The minister plans to set up the four halls of wind, rain, thunder and lightning first, the wind hall protects the backbone of the dragon's teeth, the rain hall protects the people who need protection in our dynasty, the thunder hall is mainly assassination, and the electric hall is the main force to exterminate the end of the world. ”

"Well, these four hall masters all need to be served by my dragon's tooth person."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this is understood."

"Another day, I'll go to the Shifeng Trading House to meet your two friends. Sir, Xiao Qi, today is the last day of the Young Guard's registration, let's go, follow me to see Wenzhang's results. ”

Although it was the last afternoon of registration, there was still a long queue in front of the registration point.

The winter wind blows on the body, and it is still cold and biting.

Maybe it's because I've been practicing martial arts for more than a month, and I don't seem to be as afraid of the cold as I used to be.

Xiao Qi saw so many people, and squeaked: "It seems that there are so many teenagers who want to join the Youth Guard." ”

Yuan Jian said: "Yes, there are still so many people queuing up on this last day, and this young man is very popular with young people." ”

"I wonder if that boy passed the test?" It occurred to me that I had an idea.

"Xiao Qi, go and ask how the young man is?"

"Well, Childe, I'll ask."

Xiao Qi was just about to go, but he saw a young man walking next to him, and when the young man saw us, he hurriedly came to the front, knelt down and kowtowed to me three times and said, "Engong, why don't you kowtow to you." ”

"Haha, that's exactly what Cao Ying, Cao Ying has arrived." I picked up the boy and said, "So your name is He Quchen, have you passed the test?" ”

"Hui Engong, all passed, General Wen said that I had excellent grades."

He Quchen's voice is normal, he no longer has the tone of the urn sound and urn breath of the previous one, and his face is also slightly ruddy, it seems that his body has basically recovered.

"Well, yes, follow the little general in the future."

"Of course, General Wen also said that he wanted to teach me superior martial arts, and Quchen really didn't know how to thank Engong."

"You don't have to say thank you now, you are a good student to learn art, and you will be regarded as thanking me for serving the country in the future."

"Yes, Engong, go to the dust and remember Engong's words."

"Okay, you go get busy, let's take a look here."

Seeing us coming, he hurriedly welcomed us into the room behind the registration point, and ordered two guards to guard the door.

"Wenzhang, what's the situation?"

"Childe, as of noon, more than 4,000 people have come to sign up, it is estimated that by the end of the 5,000 people, so far, the test has passed more than 500, after all the applicants have completed the test, we will take the top 500 comprehensive results as members of the Youth Guard."

"Well, it seems that the situation is very good, for the teenagers who have passed the test, but have not reached the top five hundred, you can use them as reserve members of the Youth Guard, participate in training with the regular team members, and conduct another test after three months, those who can exceed the original official team members can also become official team members, and those who have decreased the performance of the original regular team members will enter the reserve team.

Wen Zhang was stunned for a moment, didn't understand what it meant to eat a big pot of rice, and after thinking for a while, he was overjoyed and said: "Gongzi's method is very clever, so the soldiers can only move forward." ”

I nodded and continued: "Wen Zhang, you have also read the general essentials of the martial arts, in which the idea of leading the troops is very clear, a lion led by a sheep cannot beat a sheep led by a lion, each team has its own unique temperament, and most of this temperament comes from the leader of this team, as the so-called there are no bad soldiers, only good handsome." ”

Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of Li Yunlong in the TV series "Bright Sword", and said: "This kind of temperament can also be called the soul of the army, when the sword should be shown, the whole army does not hesitate to show the sword together, so why the Mongolian iron cavalry can be invincible, it is precisely because of its strong military soul, on the other hand, in the hundreds of years of my Great Song Dynasty, except for the early Yang family generals, the Yue family army in the back, and the recent Meng Heng army, etc., why the rest of the troops have always suffered repeated defeats, the reason is that there is no military soul in the army." Therefore, starting from this young guard, I want to slowly endow me with the military soul of the Great Song Army, this spirit of the bright sword, only in this way can I fight against the Mongolian iron cavalry, Wang Shi Beiding Central Plains can be said to be waiting, this young guard I will hand over to Wenzhang you, the young guard is not only a royal guard, but also as a sharp knife team that can go into battle and charge, although the number of this team is not large, but I hope it can become a model for my Great Song army in the future, you must remember, take care of it carefully. ”

Wen Zhang's heart was hot, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Son's high opinion, Wen Zhang will definitely live up to his son's trust." ”

"Okay, get up, Dao disciple, brother of Song Rui, I can't be mistaken. In the future, I will come often, and you will report to me as soon as possible about the training mode of the Youth Guard. In the coming year, I will secretly train a new army in other places, and I will also follow the training model of the Young Guard. ”

Wen Zhang got up and said, "Yes, please rest assured." ”

The Great Song Dynasty army was well-equipped and its quality was not bad, but it was weak and incompetent, and its combat effectiveness was extremely poor. Wen Zhang is young and vigorous, and he learns from a peerless master like Daofa, so he will naturally have a kind of idea of not admitting defeat in his heart, and he is domineering and arrogant, and I just need this kind of energy to build the military soul of the young guard.

As long as the baptism of war is removed from the arrogance in Wen Zhang's heart in the future, I believe that the young guard will be able to show his edge, and Wen Zhang will become a generation of famous generals.
