Chapter 178: Joy and Talent

When Li Guanqi heard that Tang Zifeng, the new champion, did not want to stay in the Hanlin Academy anymore, he was also very happy in his heart, he was about to make a big show now, and what he needed was naturally someone with a real level, not a pedantic and sour Confucian who only knew "Zhihu", so he nodded his head very happily and let Tang Zifeng choose what he wanted to do.

"I want to be an instructor at the Royal Military Academy!" Tang Zifeng said loudly.

"Huh?" All the people present showed surprised expressions.

Li Guanqi was also happy, and said with a smile: "Tang Zifeng, if you want to teach at Jinling University, I can understand, but the Royal Military Academy is a place that specializes in training military attachΓ©s, you, I remember that you said that you are not skilled in martial arts, why should you become an instructor?" ”

Tang Zifeng stiffened his neck and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong! The husband is the general, and the master of the army. In the good knowledge of people, in the good use of people; Strict in rewards and punishments; In the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away; Unyielding in the face of the great festival; Brave the great adversity; The decisive place is like a sharp blade, and when it is tired, it is like a spring breeze of fine willows; Mighty but not angry, strict but not harsh.

As the saying goes, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, and they will be planning but not brave; Ancient sayings also. Zi said: 'The violent tiger Feng He, who dies without regrets, I will not be with him; It must also be afraid of things, and those who are scheming will also be. This is called a general, not to fight for oneself to be competitive! ’”

Li Guanqi laughed and said: "Okay, you Tang Zifeng, you complained to me just now, it's boring to be 'Zhihuye' in the Hanlin Academy all day long, and now I will ask you, you have sorted out so many 'Zhihuye' with me, but I can understand it." I can let you experience it at the Royal Military Academy, but if you don't have the job of an instructor, I'll be disappointed in you! ”

Tang Zifeng grinned and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" If you say anything superfluous, the minister will not say anything, but please see the performance of the minister! ”

Li Guanqi said: "You are the champion. I am willing to believe you again. Now there is an errand, and I haven't had the right person to do it, I don't know if you dare to take it? ”

"Ministers are there to do things, not to visit. Your Majesty, please speak! Tang Zifeng puffed up his chest and said.

"Good! Heroism! Li Guanqi high-fived happily and said, "A while ago." I have already issued an order to all the provinces, and I will send outstanding captain-level generals from all over the country to the Royal Military Academy for training. This training is very important, and I can't decide who will be the chief instructor of this training. Do you dare to pick this burden? ”

Tang Zifeng smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty once said that swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger is the true nature of a man, this burden, if the minister dares to pick it, he will definitely pick it!" ”

"Good!" Li Guanqi praised the festival, "I will now appoint you as the chief instructor of the first batch of the Captain Training Camp. I await your good news! ”

On the eighth day of the second lunar month, 1,000 outstanding captain-level generals from all over the country gathered on the campus of the Royal Military Academy at the foot of the Purple Mountain.

A thousand people lined up in ten squares in a neat line. On the platform, there were thirty or forty instructors, many of whom had murderous faces, and these were all outstanding generals who had been in battle for a long time and were transferred back from the border pass.

Xie Chen and Chang Di were already in the rank of major at this time because of their excellent performance in Jiannan, and they were also personally named by Li Guanqi to participate in the training camp this time, and the two were in the same phalanx. Xie Chen has been since the palace exam. I haven't seen the friends who drank with Li Guanqi back then, but now I was pleasantly surprised. There is actually an old acquaintance of his own on the stage - Tang Zifeng, the champion of the new department, and at this moment he is standing behind the principal Li Guanqi politely.

After Li Guanqi delivered a simple welcome speech, he ended his speech, and then waved at Tang Zifeng behind him.

Tang Zifeng took a few steps forward and shouted at the thousand army elites who were selected and transferred from various provinces in the audience: "My name is Tang Zifeng. It is the chief instructor of this training, from now on, you are under the control of your own officer, who dares not to obey orders, military law is ruthless! ”

Xie Chen whispered to Chang Di beside him: "This person is my friend......" I heard Tang Zifeng shouting: "Xie Chen! ”

"The end will be." Xie Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly agreed and walked out of the queue. This is the good military quality he cultivated in the Xiao Cavalry Guard, and it is also to maintain the majesty of his good friend.

"And you! Chang Di! Tang Zifeng shouted again.

"The last general!" Chang Di also came out in response, although he didn't agree with Tang Zifeng, the chief instructor who looked like a scholar, but Li Guanqi was watching from the side, and he didn't dare to show any disrespect to the instructor.

"Xie Chen, are you guilty?" Tang Zifeng didn't look at Chang Di, but only shouted coldly to Xie Chen.

"Huh? The last general, the last general, ...... "Xie Chen didn't know how to answer, he really didn't expect that his old friend would give him a dismount as soon as they met, this is too uninteresting, right?"

"You are the beloved general of the saint and an old friend of this official, but these are not the reasons for your uproar!" Tang Zifeng sneered and said, "Chang Di, this official now orders you to hold the rod and severely punish Xie Chen's fifteen military sticks!" ”

"Huh?" Chang Di rolled his eyes, but before he could speak, a soldier had already handed him a big stick.

Chang Di glanced at Li Guanqi on the stage, and saw that he had an expression that was not his own business, so he had no choice but to take the stick and respond: "Get the order!" Walking to Xie Chen, who was pressed to the ground by two personal soldiers, he hit it with a "snap", and heard a crisp sound, but Xie Chen did not scream.

Chang Di whispered to Xie Chen: "Are you stupid? Why don't you call? ”

It turned out that Chang Di was very measured with the stick just now, looking at the stick raised high, it was quite loud on his body, and it really didn't hurt Xie Chen at all, so Xie Chen didn't scream.

Xie Chen often reminded him, and hurriedly "screamed" with the stick that fell again.

Chang Di laughed secretly in his heart, raised the stick high again, and hit fifteen sticks in a row, but Tang Zifeng just couldn't stop sneering.

After he finished beating fifteen sticks, Tang Zifeng had already stepped down from the platform, glanced at Xie Chen on the ground, and then glared at Chang Di, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever been an errand in the yamen before?" ”

"Nope!" Chang Di was unconvinced, but he could only answer honestly.

"None? I see that you are quite familiar with the trick of beating prisoners in the yamen? Tang Zifeng raised his voice sharply and shouted.

"......" Chang Di made a muffled voice and made a fortune. He knew that Tang Zifeng had seen through the trick he had just faked.

"Was it a fake fight just now? Answer me! Tang Zifeng's gaze was so sharp that it seemed to tear open Chang Di's skin and pierce straight into his heart.

Chang Di replied loudly: "Yes! ”

"Good." Tang Zifeng strode to the front of the team and shouted: "Come on, beat Xie Chen with twenty military sticks, and Chang Di with thirty military sticks!" ”

"Order!" The pro-soldier next to him replied sharply, and quickly pressed the two young Forbidden Army majors to the ground. The stick rained down, and the skin of the two people was suddenly opened. But Xie Chen and Chang Di both gritted their teeth and didn't even snort.

Tang Zifeng looked around at everyone and said sharply: "You are all excellent generals selected by various provinces and armies, but this officer found that you have not even fulfilled the most basic requirements of a soldier. Today, this officer will teach you the first lesson - military discipline! I don't care what you've done before, and I don't care if you're from the Holy Guard. You have to understand one thing, military discipline first! ”

He gave him a slight high-five, and immediately one of his own soldiers brought several blank sheets of paper full of words. Tang Zifeng pointed to the paper and said: "This is military discipline, I asked my soldiers to read it ten times, today you will stand here and memorize it for me, memorize it, and then come to the general platform to find me to finish reciting, and then go back to rest." I can't carry it, so I can stand here and memorize it! ”

After that, he left without looking back. Pity these good officers. The lowest rank is also a captain, and he is in charge of at least a few hundred people under his hands, but now he is stared at by a few small soldiers, listening to military discipline over and over again. At the slightest movement, several pro-soldiers rushed up and slapped their heads and faces with a whip.

That same evening. Chang Di and Xie Chen asked for medicine from the medical officer, struggled to wipe each other, and fell asleep on the simple bed. Who knew that I slept in a daze until midnight, when I was at my worst, when I suddenly heard a shrill horn warning. At the same time, someone shouted hoarsely: "Raid the camp!" Camp Robbery! ”

Chang Di didn't even open his eyes, and muttered in a daze: "Isn't it on the front line of the border pass, robbing a fart camp?" ”

When Xie Chen saw his expression, he couldn't help but be amused and angry, and reached out and patted the wound on Chang Di's buttocks.

Chang Di screamed in pain, almost jumped in, and was about to complain, but saw that Xie Chen had already begun to put on his clothes, and said to him at the same time: "Hurry up, or you will have to be beaten later!" ”

Chang Di came to his senses at this time, it must be Tang Zifeng's ghost again, he hurriedly got up, hurriedly put on his armor, and was just halfway through, when the horn outside changed again. Chang Di's face turned pale, and he heard the sound of the horn of the formation soldiers, and he didn't care whether the armor on his body was neatly worn, so he hurriedly ran to the school field.

When they arrived at the school, they found that all the instructors had arrived, and every instructor, including their own soldiers, was neatly dressed, holding a long whip in his hand, and stood solemnly.

Tang Zifeng looked coldly at the untidy students, frowned, and said with a sneer: "From blowing the trumpet to gathering, it took a whole pillar of incense, and you are also worthy of being called elites?" If it was really the Turkic or Tibetan cavalry that came to rob the camp today, your heads would have moved long ago! ”

Chang Di thought to himself: "If you don't arrange a sentry and send the news early, how can we be in time?" "But if you don't accept it, you just got beaten during the day, where do you dare to say such things now?

Tang Zifeng looked around at everyone with fierce eyes, and said loudly: "This official knows that you are not convinced!" But two people with armor can't use half a pillar of incense at most! Starting tomorrow, for ten consecutive days, practice unarmouring for one hour a day. The last ten people to arrive just now were each heavily burdened with twenty military sticks; In addition, whoever has taken his weapons tonight will go back to the camp and sleep. If you don't have weapons, change shifts and keep vigil! ”

As he spoke, one of his own soldiers stepped forward, dragged out the last ten men, and pressed them to the ground, crackling and fighting. The others dispersed as if they had been pardoned. Only those students who did not hold weapons, although they had sad faces and secretly complained bitterly, they did not dare to let Tang Zifeng hear it.

Tang Zifeng waited for everyone to leave, and then instructed his soldiers: "Later, I will quietly send some wound medicine to the people who have been beaten." ”

The soldiers hurriedly responded. But I suddenly heard a person laugh and said: "Grace and power are combined, and you really know the way to govern the army." I didn't misread you Tang Zifeng! (To be continued......)
