"Great Lomin, our master, he has ordered the warriors of Schönbrunn!

With the wind and lightning, he fights alongside us!"

With this singing, the soldiers trotted closer in the direction of Luo Ming and the other guests.

"Stand!"

Luo Ming suddenly roared, and the soldiers actually ran forward four steps in unison and stopped, and the line was still neat.

The current squadron leader (under the command of two and a half squads) Oss came out of the ranks, quickly shouted slogans and began to form the team and report the numbers. And the soldiers were very obedient, very skillful, and not perfunctory, but in good spirits.

Seeing such a scene, the eyes of the guests looking at Luo Ming became strange.

An old knight who was middle-aged first broke the strange silence among the crowd and asked aloud: "Excuse me, how long has it taken you to train the army? Even under the command of a viscount, you may not be able to find so many good young men." ”

"It probably took me three months. In fact, as long as they are fed, they are punished and rewarded for what should be punished, then training is not a difficult task. ”

Luo Ming said flatly, with no intention of showing off at all - but the fact that this troop came over was a show off in itself.

Maybe this guy is a military genius? But at the same time, they also had a lot of frustrations: what was so difficult for them seemed to Luo Ming that it was not a big deal and could be solved very easily.

"Did you call them here so that we could see this proud army?"

None of the guests knew that chaos would strike before long, so they didn't think of anything else—at most, they thought that Luo Ming wanted to show off his elite soldiers.

"Of course not, it's just their daily practice, we just happen to run into it. ”

And even if Luo Ming had the idea of showing off, he didn't intend to admit it directly, but found another name: "They practice long-distance running every day, so that their physical strength will improve, and they can hold on longer whether they are marching or on the battlefield." ”

This is an indisputable truth: there was a saying in the French army: "Others win by guns, but our emperor (Napoleon) on the march".

An army that is difficult to catch up with when retreating, but is fully capable of bypassing the opponent's large forces when attacking, and attacking the rear transport lines and reinforcements is extremely terrifying.

Of course, the premise of practicing long-distance running is to eat and drink well, and you have to take into account the problem of treating bruises, which many people will not think of, the former really cost Luo Ming a lot of money, and the latter, fortunately he has Cangyan, otherwise he would have to spend another money.

Of course, if even these questions can be considered, then practicing long-distance running is really a very useful strategy, but how many people can think through it as well as he does?

It is not uncommon to train like this without considering everything, and sooner or later the soldiers will be trained to become wasted, such as running until the urine is bloody, or the foot is injured and pus has to be amputated, or it becomes lame or something...... Of course, there is also the possibility of a mutiny in the midst of complaints.

Don't think that Luo Ming's military song is just idle and boring, it can not only be used to coordinate footsteps, to deter the enemy, but also to boost one's own morale - a lazy or complaining army is not even able to train well, let alone fighting.

"Oh, that's amazing. The old gentleman complimented him casually.

Although occasionally one or two nobles were knowledgeable soldiers, knowing that their own soldiers could not withstand such training, it was estimated that Luo Ming must have some other way to hide it, but they did not ask directly—they were here to be guests, not to inquire into other people's family secrets.

Wander around, be careful, not only will you not be able to make friends, but you may even become enemies.

On the other side, the report had been completed, Oss straightened his waist, raised his left hand to his head and gave a military salute, and reported loudly to Luo Ming: "There should be twenty-six people, but there are twenty-six people, all the members of the first squadron of the 'Flame' Legion are here, please instruct!"

"You've done a great job, but you have to keep up the good work, there are so many distinguished guests here, show your efforts! Rest for thirty seconds, and then resume training!" Luo Ming replied with a military salute in return.

Of course, he hadn't given any of his soldiers timekeepers so far: hourglasses were too fragile, drip clocks were too big, and pocket watches were too expensive these days.

At present, these thirty seconds are just imaginary fingers, mainly to let the soldiers develop the habit and thinking method that needs to take into account the time factor - and the specific length of this "thirty seconds" is just a silent thirty times in Oss in his mind.

Then, Luo Ming acted as if nothing had happened, and led the guests in the direction of "Schönbrunn".

But even when I saw that Schönbrunn itself was not beautiful at all, it could only be described as a plain view, and no one complained or ridiculed it.

Some people were pondering, and some people had scruples about Luo Ming and didn't dare to speak casually - strictly speaking, large-scale armed fights between nobles were prohibited by law in the principality, but the strength of the principality's management was limited, and it was impossible to really prohibit it by order - the so-called imperial power was not lower than the county.

Although it is easy to find out that the nobles fight in private, because of their own strength, it is difficult for even the Grand Duke to punish them too harshly for such a thing.

And the petty nobles fight in private, as long as they don't do too much, then no one will care - even if the side that has lost the battle, if they run to the big announcement, they will be looked down upon by many nobles, so generally no one will report it, and the big people above are too lazy to track down such trivial matters.

For example, a nobleman who regularly provokes his neighbors by force, or who simply usurps a large part of his neighbor's land by force, may be reported to the Grand Duke and punished with a reprimand and a fine.

But if it is just a battle of will, and the two minor nobles fight each other with hundreds of soldiers, and after the fight, they each collect their troops and go home, and there is no serious situation of the nobles dying in battle or encroaching on the land, then no one will care about such a trivial matter.

Although this level of fighting does not endanger lives and land that has been passed down from generation to generation...... But the defeated side will not only lose face and lose the soldiers they paid for, but will also have to pay a sum of money to the winner as a sign of admitting defeat.

No one wanted that, but Luo Ming was now at a young and vigorous age, and it was easy to be provoked—so they had to try not to provoke him, and even be a little more obedient to his words.

Of course, it was impossible for Luo Ming to coerce them if he really relied on this, but it was more than enough to just make them shut up and listen to him.
