got Zhu Houwei's praise, Hong Ji's face almost didn't smile into a chrysanthemum.

Next, all the officers and men conducted a physical fitness test, 300 push-ups, 200 leg bends and extensions, and 100 sit-ups.

Of course, physical training is not only these, such as long-distance marching, weight-bearing cross-country and even armed swimming are all subjects of physical training, and Zhu Houwei has no need to watch them one by one.

Speaking of physical training, it is not bitter, according to the regulations drawn up by Zhu Houwei, it is necessary to squeeze the limits of the soldiers again and again, and after training, they will become dead dogs, and over time muscle memory will be formed, and the results of physical training will come out.

Those soldiers who can't withstand such rigorous physical training, after learning that if they fail to pass the physical fitness assessment every three months, they will be kicked out of the guard and go to Tuntian, one by one they go crazy to train themselves, no way, Yongwangwei's treatment is the only one in the world, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop, and if you don't play with your life, you will wait for your life to play you.

But even so, in the end, a percentage of the soldiers were kicked out of the guard, and these soldiers were either too weak to receive high-intensity training, or they were too old, and their physical functions had long passed their prime.

The eliminated soldiers will become logistics soldiers, cooking, growing vegetables, raising livestock, fishing, and even learning battlefield first aid, nursing, and so on.

"Wei Zhi!"

Wei Zhi, who was standing like a benchmark under the school platform, was stunned, and then turned around and shouted: "The mark is here!"

"Go and bring your soldiers from one of the hundred households."

"Yes!"

"Hong Companion, prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Hong Ji answered, arranged to go down, and someone immediately took a pile of paper and pen and ink.

"This king will come to see how the soldier culture class in the guard is doing, and go and give each of them a piece of paper and a pen."

After the distribution of pen, ink and paper, Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "This king knows, you from the general to the soldiers, you are very confused and even full of disdain about why the army should take cultural classes, why you should be literate and write, this king does not want to say, just tell you that a literate army is an army with a soul, you can meet the physical fitness standards, you can do the order and prohibition, but these are external, but in the eyes of this king, an army with a soul, it must have its own spirit and spirit, and have its own faith!"

What is the spirit of the army and what is the belief of the army, this topic is very wide, and you may not be able to understand it after a while, but this king believes that one day you will really feel this spirit and spirit by yourself, know the faith of your army, know what you are fighting for, and who you are fighting for! ”

Zhu Houwei sighed, letting the soldiers of this era learn culture is indeed a bit ahead of its time, and it is indeed difficult for a strong man, because these men who are five big and three coarse, and like to lick blood with knives have long passed the golden age of learning, and it may only take a few days for a ten-year-old child to know a hundred words, but they may need a month......

But there is no way, these are all seeds, Yongwangwei's soldiers will definitely be scattered and assigned to various military brigades after more than ten years, to serve as high, middle and low generals, the soldiers are not educated and illiterate, as long as they are not afraid of death, they are good soldiers are elite soldiers, but they can be generals, especially senior generals If they are illiterate, it will be terrible.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the cold comes and the summer comes and goes, these sixteen words, let them write them silently and show them to this king."

The conscience of heaven and earth, if Wei Zhi, a soldier of a hundred households, knew that one day King Yong would draw them to test their literacy and writing, he would definitely fight for his life.

But it's too late to say anything......

Sixteen words, when the wind is rolled up in a moment, there are still a lot of biting the pen......

Zhu Houwei took the answer sheets one by one, and looked at them with a smile on his face, the word "soldier" is really unsightly, even if it is ugly, but only one of the sixteen words was written correctly in the end......

More than half of the soldiers didn't even write ten words correctly, but no one wrote the four words of heaven, earth, sun and moon wrong.

Zhu Houwei looked at Hong Ji, who was also watching next to him, and asked with a smile, "What does Hong Companion think?"

"King, slaves and maids are guilty!"

"Where did your sin come from?" Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "Reading and reading is not an overnight effort, there is a long way to go, and Hong Companion still needs to work hard."

"The slave has written it down." Hong Ji responded to this, his eyes revealed a wisp of ruthlessness, Zhou Ning was speechless, knowing that the thousands of officers and soldiers of this guard station were afraid that the future would be even more difficult.

Zhu Houwei can't say that he is not satisfied with this answer sheet, he has a lot of time, and he is not in a hurry, but it is impossible for him to praise Hongji's achievements, otherwise it will only make him slack.

It's just that what Zhu Houwei didn't expect was that Hong Ji had already decided from the bottom of his heart that the king was not satisfied with this cultural spot check, so after he left, the entire health center jumped and jumped, and the rotation day was changed from once every seven days to twice......

For a while, the resentment in the sky above Yongwangwei almost condensed into a dark cloud.

At the end of the review, the soldiers resumed their daily training, Zhu Houwei strolled through the huge barracks, and Hong Ji followed step by step.

"King, I heard that Your Majesty allowed us to expand the three guards and support 10,000 ......."

Zhu Houwei's footsteps paused, according to the establishment of the Daming Guard, the first guard was about 5,600, and the three guards were actually more than 15,000.

But in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the unambitious vassal king didn't want to raise soldiers and horses that would only cost money and food, so the imperial court cut a large part of it, and the vassal king himself cut a part, and the normal vassal king Wei put it bluntly, it was a thousand households or even a thousand households less than a thousand households.

Over time, it was impossible for the soldiers and horses of the vassal king to guard the palace at all, as many as Zhu Houwei had three thousand households, and as few as two or three hundred guards guarded the palace.

"My royal brother wants to come out one by one, if this king increases his troops by 10,000, the royal brother will definitely not say anything, after all, this is his will, but if this king really increases, the officials in the court will be no different from flies, staring at this matter all day long, and finally stirring up the imperial brother's troubles.

This king and the royal brother have been close since childhood, but after all, they are thousands of miles apart, and there will be estrangement without estrangement. What's more, this king just wants to spend his life free and raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, does he force the official to say that this king has different aspirations? Stealing fish for no reason didn't work, but it got fishy. ”

"What the king said is that the slave maid is short-sighted and does not think so far-reaching."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "You are a close person of this king, put you in the army, this king can rest assured, but it will only hurt you."

Hong Ji almost didn't cry and said: "The king is the heaven of the slave and maid, what is it to eat and cry, the slave and maid are just worried that those who serve will not take good care of the king, and this is worrying."

Zhu Houwei patted Hong Ji on the shoulder and said, "With Ren Xing here, you can relax, he is more bitter than you......"
