Chapter 299: Dismount [Third Watch]
(
"When the official received the emperor's order to assist King Fu in preparing for the martial arts hall, many people thought that the official was a civil official and should not 'meddle' in military affairs, otherwise the martial arts hall would be destroyed in the hands of the official."
Li Yuntian was very satisfied with the reaction of these military men, and then his face sank, and he said coldly, "This official also wants to see if it is like the outside world criticizes, the martial arts hall will be destroyed in the hands of this official!" This officer also wants to see if you brave soldiers in the army can't even compare to this officer! ”
"Now, listen to the orders of this official, the target, Yunshan Town in the north of the city, the last ten people who ran have no lunch!" As he spoke, Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and pointed to the gate of the camp and shouted loudly.
The soldiers were slightly stunned at first, and then rushed to the camp gate, no one wanted to be the bottom ten, let alone be eliminated.
Looking at the soldiers who were rushing to the camp gate, Li Yuntian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, satisfied with what he had just done, and then joined the ranks of the soldiers.
Dozens of cavalry and several carriages followed Li Yuntian and those soldiers, the cavalry was responsible for the order of the team, and the carriage was used to treat those who ran into prostration.
According to Li Yuntian's experience, there must be people who will play with their lives in order to stay, and he must take precautions.
Yunshan Town is ten miles away from the capital, and there is no doubt that Li Yuntian gave these soldiers a dismount when they met for the first time.
Of course, Li Yuntian prepared far more than this "surprise" for them, this was just an appetizer, and the "big meal" was still waiting for them. [29615671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 296 ruling the Ming Dynasty 299
As a civilian official, if Li Yuntian wants to establish his prestige in the martial arts hall, he must first subdue these arrogant soldiers who came out of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and the best way is to defeat them in the military competition, so that these guys will be convinced.
Li Yuntian didn't want to leave the impression of a weak scholar on these military men, which would not be conducive to the teaching plan he promoted in the lecture hall.
Competing with these military men is naturally not Li Yuntian's whim, he has been insisting on exercising since Hukou County fell into the water, and learned from Zhou Yuting to ride a bow horse and "shoot", etc., and now he is strong and strong, and he is no longer the weak Zhixian who was able to stumble with a light palm from Zhou Yuting.
After leaving the city, the team that had originally gathered together was gradually distanced, and there were more than a dozen people in the first camp running at the front, including Li Yuntian, leaving the others behind.
Li Yuntian could feel that the ten or so people in the first camp were very outstanding, and they must have been training and exercising a lot.
At the same time, the dozen or so military men were also extremely surprised in their hearts, no one thought that Li Yuntian would be able to keep up with their speed.
Several cavalrymen opened the way in front, and the pedestrians who came and went on the official road dodged one after another, standing on the side of the road and looking at Li Yuntian and the others with great interest, chattering in private, looking very curious about their behavior.
When he was a mile away from Yunshan Town, Li Yuntian suddenly began to exert his strength, and quickly threw off the people in the first camp, and ran at the front of the queue.
Seeing this, the soldiers in the first camp immediately panicked and accelerated one after another, but soon they were depressed to find that the distance between them and Li Yuntian was getting bigger and bigger, and they couldn't catch up with Li Yuntian, who was still vigorous.
At the entrance of Yunshan Town, some soldiers were already waiting there, and the finish line was set.
Li Yuntian did not let the first one cross the finish line, panting and walking back and forth, waiting for the arrival of the soldiers behind him.
Soon, the soldiers of the first camp crossed the finish line one after another, sitting on the ground and gasping for breath, they had not undergone this intensity of training for a long time since the death of Emperor Yongle, and it was a little difficult to adapt for a while.
"Don't sit, stand up and walk around!" Seeing this, the soldier at the finish line stepped forward and pulled up the people who were sitting on the ground and said in a loud voice.
The soldiers had no choice but to get up and walk around, they didn't know that sitting on the ground and resting after strenuous exercise seemed to relieve fatigue, but it was very bad for the body, because the blood "fluid" circulation speed suddenly decreased, which led to a lack of oxygen to the heart and brain, which in turn caused some uncomfortable symptoms.
Under Li Yuntian's gaze, the big men crossed the finish line in a sparse manner, and the last ten people who crossed the line looked annoyed and depressed, this is not a matter of not being able to eat at noon, but a matter of personal face and honor. [29615671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 296 ruling the Ming Dynasty 299
After resting for about a cup of tea, Li Yuntian led the soldiers to a nearby open space, on which some targets for "shooting" arrows were already standing.
Each target is attached to a piece of target paper with a number of concentric rings on it, and different ring areas in the "shot" will get different points, the central area is 10 points, and the outermost area is 1 point.
Seeing that they were going to try the "archery" technique, the soldiers immediately geared up, and the "shooting" of archery and horse riding was their strength, and everyone was full of confidence and was ready to "show" Li Yuntian with one hand.
"Wait a minute, you have to 'shoot' the arrow according to the rules of the official, just like just now, the last ten people who scored no lunch."
Li Yuntian knew that these big men were all good at riding and shooting, and seeing their eagerness to try, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said quietly.
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at Li Yuntian one after another, wondering what rules he had set.
In the curious eyes of everyone, Li Yuntian moved his wrist and started push-ups at the front of the team, while a soldier was counting him loudly on the side.
Seeing this situation, the faces of the soldiers showed a look of doubt and confusion, and they couldn't understand Li Yuntian's intentions for a while.
After doing a hundred push-ups, Li Yuntian picked up a hard bow and bow and arrows, and methodically "shot" five arrows at the arrow target in the distance.
The five arrows were firmly planted in the tenth-circle area at the bull's-eye, which made the soldiers on the scene applaud loudly, while the soldiers were taken aback, looking at each other, they didn't expect Li Yuntian to have such skills.
"Fifty points!" When Li Yuntian finished shooting, a soldier ran over and carried the target over, showing it to the soldiers, and at the same time loudly reported Li Yuntian's score.
"For the sake of your newcomers, the official will give you a discount, and each person only needs to do fifty push-ups!" Li Yuntian glanced at the target paper on the target, threw the hard bow in his hand to a soldier on the side, and said to the soldiers who were looking at the target paper and whispering.
Since Li Yuntian 'revealed' this hand, the eyes of the soldiers looking at him couldn't help but change, and there was a trace of awe in them.
Since there were only 20 targets on the scene, the soldiers were divided into groups of 20 to shoot arrows, and each of them had a soldier by his side to supervise them to do push-ups, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Before the first group of people 'shooting' arrows, those soldiers didn't think that the rules set by Li Yuntian were no big deal, didn't they just do fifty more push-ups!
But when the first group of people began to "shoot" arrows, all the soldiers present were shocked, 20 people, a full 100 arrows, not a single arrow "shot" the bull's-eye, and there were many off-target phenomena.
This phenomenon is actually very normal, after running five kilometers, the body consumption of the soldiers is very large, if you do another fifty push-ups, then the arms will definitely not be able to bear, it will be sour and numb, which will naturally affect the accuracy of the "shooting" arrow.
Li Yuntian has practiced running and push-ups a lot over the years, and it can be said that he came prepared, and those big men were caught off guard by him, and they invisibly suffered a big loss, and they also rubbed off their sharpness.
After all the soldiers finished 'shooting' the arrows, the scene was silent, and there was silence, and among the six or seven hundred arrows, the ones that "shot" the bullseye were only single digits, which was simply an incredible thing for these bow "shooting" masters, but it did happen.
Li Yuntian didn't say much, which was expected by him, and after announcing that the ten people with the bottom scores were disqualified from lunch, they let people eat.
After this tossing in the morning, the soldiers were hungry one by one, thinking that they could have a full meal, but when the meal was served, everyone was dumbfounded.
Lunch is very simple, a palm-sized bread for one person, and a bowl of hot soup, which is not enough for these tall soldiers to even stuff their teeth.
On the contrary, the soldiers who were doing chores at the scene sat around a dozen or so tables and ate a lot of fish and meat, and there was also wine to drink, which caused the soldiers to swallow their saliva one after another.
To the surprise of the soldiers, there were several tables with sumptuous dishes and jars of wine, but the seats were empty, and no one was seated.
"Listen, as long as you withdraw from this assessment, then you can enjoy those tables of delicious food and wine."
Li Yuntian sat on the ground, nibbling on the bread in his hand, and said to the soldiers who were watching the soldiers eat and drink, "There are only fifty people in this officer, and some of you are destined to be eliminated in the end, so why stay here and suffer?" With your strength, after returning to the guard, you can easily become the personal soldier of your guard commander, and the future is still limitless. ”
The soldiers looked at each other when they heard this, and some of their eyes began to flicker.
Li Yuntian is right, more than half of them will be eliminated, even if they persist until the end, it is very likely that they will not be able to enter the martial arts hall as a martial arts instructor, it is better to go back to the guard station to be a personal soldier for the commander of the guard, and still eat and drink spicy food.
However, these soldiers and men present are all people who want to save face, and no one is willing to give up first, so as not to be ridiculed.
"The official can tell you that the time for your assessment is three months, and during this period, the official will definitely let you taste the taste of life as well as death." Seeing that no one had withdrawn, Li Yuntian said coldly, "Do you think that the martial arts hall is so easy to enter?" ”
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other a few times again, and in silence, a person walked to the table not far away with his head down, and sat at the table with a depressed expression and began to eat and drink.
Driven by that big man, more than a dozen people who thought that there was no hope of entering the martial arts hall walked over one after another, sat around the table and drank stuffy wine.
Looking at the dozen or so retired soldiers, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of a smile, he needs the best people to serve as martial arts instructors, the first thing he has is confidence, he must have a hard work that does not admit defeat, how can people with insufficient confidence teach good students?
"Now that everyone has finished eating, then it is time to move your muscles and bones, all of them have it, target the top of Yunshan Mountain, and set off."
Then, Li Yuntian stuffed the remaining bread in his hand into his mouth, drank the soup in the bowl again, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, got up and pointed to a nearby mountain hundreds of meters high, Yunshan, and said loudly.
"Ah~~"
Hearing this, the soldiers suddenly let out a sigh, they are now tired and hungry, where can they still have the energy to climb the mountain.
Li Yuntian smiled, put down the bowl in his hand and took the lead towards the foot of Yunshan Mountain.
Seeing this, the big men had to cheer up and chased after them, they couldn't figure it out, how could Li Yuntian, a pampered imperial history, have such a good body and "shooting" skills, which not only shocked them, but also made them miserable
