The entire capital is already covered in silver.

It was snowing heavily.

At this time, Zhang Suhua's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't move around, so he could only raise the fetus with peace of mind.

She was bored, so she had to help look at the Zhang family's account books, or read a book.

So Zhang Jingyi had to look around for her some books to read.

The Four Books and Five Classics must not be allowed to be read, and she cannot raise a pervert who is an eight-strand in this family.

So I had to go to the street and ask people to buy some scripts and romances.

It's just that...... It's okay if you don't watch many romances, good guys, most of them are shoddy ......, and even the level of "Romance of the Gods" is far inferior.

At this time, Zhang Jing knew that the reason why the four famous works handed down by later generations could be circulated for hundreds of years was reasonable, and that was the real classic.

Zhang Suhua obviously has no interest in these shoddy interpretations, but fortunately, Zhang Jingyi occasionally chats with her.

But more often, Zhang Jingyi is still in the Baihu Office.

Lu Xiangsheng has already begun to train the captain and wrestler.

His method of training is very ingenious, that is, to practice to the death.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi also came up with a lot of ideas for the method of drilling, running long distances in the early morning, arraying in the morning, and in the afternoon, he still practiced actual combat from the method of the mandarin duck formation in Ji Xiao's new book.

Lu Xiangsheng's military discipline was very strict, and no mistakes were allowed, and if a lieutenant made a mistake, he would be punished as a junior flag officer, and if a lieutenant with more than three people or a junior flag officer made a mistake, he would be punished as a training officer.

Once the rules were made, the lieutenants and wrestlers felt very rare.

Everyone is a brocade guard, and they are not really Qiu Ba, laziness is inevitable, so there are few people holding hands and smiling.

So Lu Xiangsheng directly carried all these hippie smiling people out of the ranks, and when the number of people was counted, there were thirteen people.

So without saying a word, he invited himself to take these more than 20 people to be punished together, and actually stood all night in the simple school yard with people in this cold winter wax moon.

At this time...... A sense of terror struck everyone.

Those school captains who were punished complained and abused one by one, if it weren't for Zhang Baihu's words, what Mr. Lu meant was what he meant, and everyone would have dispersed in a hurry.

Obviously, everyone is still in awe of Zhang Jingyi.

Can ...... now They met someone who was even more ruthless.

The night was cold, and the wind was biting.

Because Lu Xiangsheng, who was not effective in leading the troops, stood alone under this night sky.

Deng Jian and Wang Cheng were afraid that something would happen, but the night in the capital was too cold, so they had to wrap themselves in bedding, hide in the barracks, and look through the gaps in the doors and windows.

I saw Lu Xiangsheng on the school field, standing still all the time, as if he was a sculpture.

Although it was wrapped in a quilt, everyone was still surprisingly cold.

And Lu Xiangsheng, who was standing on the tuyere, seemed to be unaware.

It's midnight......

Everyone's hearts are starting to chill.

And when it came to the third watch, Lu Xiangsheng was still on campus......

At this moment...... Most of the lieutenants and wrestlers slept in the barracks, and some of them got up at night in a blur, and in the haze, as if they had seen a ghost, they saw 'Mr. Lu' standing like a wooden stake in the direction of the school field.

"Wake up, wake up......"

In the second half of the night, many lieutenants and wrestlers could not sleep soundly.

It's true that everyone wasn't very serious and made some mistakes.

Isn't Mr. Lu a scholar, I heard that he is still a jinshi, he actually said that he would punish himself if he punished himself, and this punishment was still so ruthless?

How can this body hold up?

But Lu Xiangsheng still stands.

Under the moonlight, the snow had covered his scarf and his shoulders, and he was like an ice sculpture.

Someone couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't this person crazy, even crazier than our hundred households?" ”

"You're crazy, you dare to scold a hundred households?"

Everyone muttered, some people couldn't hold it anymore, their eyelids fought, and they fell asleep again in a daze.

But at three o'clock, the sky had not yet dawned, and the sky was still pitch black, and some were just snow fluttering in the sky.

And this time...... A piercing bamboo whistle filled the night sky.

Everyone opened their eyes in a panic.

Someone scolded angrily: "Do you want people to sleep?" ”

Bang!

The door to the barracks was kicked open.

A bitter cold wind poured in.

Immediately afterward, a man slowly walked in, his whole body still covered in residual snow.

His eyes were bloodshot, but they were sharp with a cone into his pocket.

Lu Xiangsheng roared: "Morning exercise begins, assemble!" ”

Everyone was startled, opened their eyes, and subconsciously turned over to look at the source of the sound.

Then he looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who had been standing in the school yard all night.

They all looked at him like monsters.

He stood all night, and he didn't sleep?

But at this time, many people were excited, and the carp turned over and got up, all of them hurriedly dressed, hurriedly put on their shoes, and put on a robe hanging on the wall, and then hurriedly ran towards the direction of the school field in the roar of Lu Xiangsheng.

Under normal circumstances, a person who is so cruel to himself often makes people feel scared.

What's more, they made mistakes, but Lu Xiangsheng came to suffer this punishment himself, to be honest, as a man, he really has some conscience in his heart.

So during the morning exercises, although everyone queued up a little sparsely, everyone was much more honest.

Lu Xiangsheng, who hadn't slept all night, was still in good spirits.

Although Lu Xiangsheng is a jinshi, he has really practiced.

At the moment, according to the drill plan formulated with Zhang Jingyi, the queue drill was carried out first.

All the people are divided into small flags and general flags, and they are divided into six columns, and this station is a morning.

In fact, it is not said that it is a morning, it is the time of a stick of incense, and many people can't stand it.

I had already scolded Lu Xiangsheng eighteen times in my heart.

But everyone saw that Lu Xiangsheng, who had been standing in the school yard for a night, was also standing in the queue, not moving at all, although he wanted to scold in his heart, he obeyed one by one.

Because they know very well that this Jinshi in front of them is ...... It always keeps them from complaining.

Zhang Jingyi occasionally came, and was very surprised to see that the effect was very significant.

This kind of discipline comes from later generations, in fact, it should be traced back to the Prussian discipline earlier.

In this era, people tend to the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, but later, in the course of countless wars, people have become more and more aware that the organizational ability and uniform coordination ability of an army are the magic weapon for winning wars, which is especially crucial in the army.

Therefore, the platoon drill has become popular in the world, has attracted more and more attention, and has significantly improved the army's combat capability.

Of course...... It is one thing to have advanced military theories, but it is still necessary for someone to carry out the exercises.

After a month of training like this, the captains already have a look.

I heard that the most bitter is Lu Xiangsheng, followed by Deng Jian and Wang Cheng, and the unlucky one is the small flag officer, after all, soldiers make mistakes and need to punish military attachés.

But because of this, the improvement of the entire 100 households is very significant.

Today's captains are all in high spirits, their waists are straight, and their bodies are much stronger.

Of course, this is also related to Zhang Jingyi's willingness to give money and food, and the food provided every day can almost reach the standard of small landlords, with eggs, meat and fish, which provides rich nutrition for the captains, and these nutrients are transformed into strength through drills.

Otherwise...... If it is according to the standards of the border army or the Beijing camp, Zhang Jingyi can be 100% sure that no matter how much he practices, the effect is probably only equivalent to that of the black corn in Africa in later generations.

In addition to practicing, whenever Lu Xiangsheng can spare some time, he will also take out books and impart some knowledge in the books, which is obviously the careful thinking of readers, so that he can be a teacher, and he always wants to teach something.

Zhang Jingyi gradually became familiar with Lu Xiangsheng, and they became warm with each other, he understood Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts, and Lu Xiangsheng also understood Zhang Jingyi's thoughts.

Therefore, after the exercise, in the middle of the night, Lu Xiangsheng likes to walk with Zhang Jingyi in the school grounds.

Looking at a dark night sky flickering with a few not-so-bright stars, Zhang Jing said: "It's about to end the year, in previous years, was it so cold in the north?" ”

When it came to the cold, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but shiver.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The weather this year is worse than in previous years, but I am afraid that next year will ...... Plague will come again everywhere. ”

As he spoke, he sighed, a little worry on his face.

The former prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, as a parent official, Lu Xiangsheng certainly knows better than anyone that this changeable weather means that the fusion of meteorology is also very easy to cause disasters.

"Disaster next year?" Zhang Jingyi's heart sank to the bottom: "After all, the Daimyo Mansion was subordinate to Zhili, even if there was a disaster, it should not be that the people would suffer." ”

Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Zhang Jingyi with a strange look: "Zhang Baihu has been in Beijing for a long time, and he doesn't know the local situation when he thinks about it, the people are suffering at any time, if there is a disaster, the court will not be able to reach it at all, and at that time...... No matter how the magistrate governs and takes any measures, the consequences are terrible. ”

"Terrible?" Zhang Jingyi frowned and said, "The people don't have anything to eat? ”

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, and then said three words faintly: "Cannibalism!"

Zhang Jingyi shuddered suddenly, these three words, when they were said lightly, they were particularly terrifying.

To the point of cannibalism, it can be seen how far the hunger has been, and how many people are dying of starvation, that such a tragic scene has to occur.

And what made Zhang Jingyi feel even more terrible was that when Lu Xiangsheng said this, there were not too many emotional fluctuations on his face, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Zhang Jingyi's expression on his face became a little serious, and he said, "You used to be a magistrate, but is there any way to alleviate this situation?" ”
