Chapter 66: How to forge the soul of the Guanning army

Probably under the influence of Huang Chongzhen, not only the Guanning injured camp, but even the barracks were much cleaner, and there was no longer the unpleasant smell of those stinky men's stinky feet mixed with the smell of sweat.

This made Huang Chongzhen's brows frown slightly after falling asleep, and finally relaxed.

The hour has just passed, and the hour will rise, and there is really no need for an alarm clock, and it will wake up on time.

He came to the courtyard surrounded by four barracks and slowly practiced his swordsmanship.

This is an ancient Chinese swordsmanship taught to him by his adoptive father when Chongzhen was very young, called Tai Chi swordsmanship. The moment he got up and danced the sword, it was also a habit he had developed since then.

It is precisely because of this perseverance that a child with congenital deficiencies eventually grows taller and stronger than ordinary trees, which is the solid foundation laid since childhood.

Tai Chi swordsmanship, very slow, very soft.

But it was still loud, and the occasional outburst was extremely resilient.

"Who?" Several sentries who were cowering and dozing off with their weapons were suddenly awakened, thinking that it was an enemy attack, and they were really startled.

Fortunately, the sentinel quickly found the source of the sound in the hazy morning mist, and seeing that there seemed to be only one figure, most of the tense heartstrings were immediately relaxed.

Several sentries tiptoed close with long swords, and after seeing clearly that it was Huang Chongzhen, a celebrity who could both fire and heal injuries, they did not warn or disturb.

On the contrary, I was attracted by its seemingly slow, but in fact able to overcome rigidity with softness, and my heart was ready to move.

As soon as Chongzhen finished dancing, he turned around and said to them: "If you want to learn, follow it, it's all for the purpose of fighting against Jiannu and becoming an army in Guanning, there is no saying that stealing a teacher is not stealing a teacher, and I am also happy to teach you."

This set of swordsmanship is called Tai Chi, very particular about very, you are all teenagers, vigorous and vigorous, once you get started, you will get twice the result with half the effort. From the head to the knees, pay attention to the following points - the strength of the virtual collar, the heavy shoulders and elbows, the chest and the back, and the waist is loose and the hips are not ......

Then follow me. ”

Several sentries were teenagers with martial arts skills, and when they saw that Chongzhen really started this legendary Tai Chi swordsmanship from scratch, they were also busy learning it.

"The first paragraph: start, step point sword, lunge sharpening sword, raise knee split sword, left bow step, left virtual step......

The second paragraph: lunge flat slash, lunge collapse sword, rest step sword press......

The third paragraph: the servant steps through the sword......

You must remember that swordsmanship is dead, but people are alive, and you must integrate it, so you can naturally make swordsmanship come alive, and to put it bluntly, it is to use it flexibly.

Do you see it clearly? Good! Then I'll play it myself, and let me see how your memory and understanding are. ”

Chongzhen slowed down the motion demonstration while explaining in detail, striving to combine points and faces, covering all aspects, and not hiding any selfishness.

But at the same time, he was like a stern teacher, and after the demonstration twice, he asked them to call to show him, and he guided from the side, but if there was a wrong move, he patiently instructed first.

If they still make mistakes after several instructions, the scabbard of the "Ruqin" sword that has been sheathed will be slapped their legs and stomachs.

At the beginning, several sentinels were obviously nondescript learners, and they had an awkward feeling of drawing tiger dogs.

But after learning more than a dozen moves with Chongzhen, I felt that this seemingly slow movement was actually a great test of people's spirit and the flexibility and strength of the joints of the limbs, and after more than 20 moves, I felt that it was very difficult, as if this was a very profound swordsmanship.

"Tai Chi? Tai Chi swordsmanship? I remembered, isn't that my Taoist stunt? ”

A set of Tai Chi swordsmanship was finally finished, and Chongzhen kindly let them rest for a while, but a young sentry seemed to suddenly remember, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.

The rest of the young people also lowered their voices and discussed: "Yes, yes, it is said that it was created by Zhang Sanfeng, who is both civil and military, and the emperors of my dynasty have canonized it. ”

"Yes, yes, it is said that it is with such stunts that the Taoist of Mitoyo will be immortal, and finally become an immortal."

"How did you learn that? Didn't you learn it by stealing? ”

When Chongzhen heard that these little bastards were not only grateful, but also talked about themselves like this, he immediately became angry, and he didn't scold, and he went up and jerked.

These sentinels are all elite Guanning teenagers, but they are not the opponents of Chongzhen, the former special forces, and they want to resist with the Tai Chi swordsmanship they have just learned, but they are all pained by Chongzhen, grinning their teeth, but they dare not speak out.

Because this guy picks people's weakest places to attack, he only makes a few moves, and they can see his attainments in Tai Chi Kendo.

The Liao people who joined the Guanning Army were all teenagers with great perseverance, and these sentinels were the same. After being pumped, he didn't get angry, but immediately admired Chongzhen so much that he threw himself to the ground, and a few of them were a little smarter, and they bowed to the teacher with a shy face.

"Do you still want to worship me as a teacher? Hum! To tell you the truth, with your little dull qualifications, you don't have this qualification! How? If you are not convinced, then pick up the sword in your hand and practice hard, when you can take over a complete set of swordsmanship from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will accept you as a registered disciple. ”

The requirements for repetition have become stricter, and the teaching has become more stringent.

Several young sentinels suddenly suffered such intense training, and they immediately felt very uncomfortable.

But instead of giving up, they gritted their teeth and persevered.

After another set of dozens of tricks, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my brain, which was groggy because of the middle of the night, broke through the limit again and again as I gritted my teeth, and gradually became refreshed, and my body bones were lighter.

The whole body was even warmer, but there was no obvious sweat.

The strange feeling of comfort after a slight sweat is truly unprecedented.

For a moment, the dance stopped, and the sword was closed.

"The middle and lower assets can't be said to be very bad, but they can only be said to be passable. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so let's stop here today, and if you're still on duty tomorrow, you'll continue. Chongzhen said casually, and went on with his own things according to his habits.

The general drum of the Guan Ning army also sounded at this time.

"Yikes! It's going to be late! Several sentries scrambled to gather up.

Huang Chongzhen looked at their hurried figures racing against time, and couldn't help but feel a feeling: "It is a good way for the general's soul to sink into the teaching of Tai Chi swordsmanship. ”

In fact, during this time, he has been thinking about how to forge the military soul of Guan Ningjun.

The soul of the army is more difficult to achieve overnight than the army, and even after the army is formed, it must be forged by fire.

Now the Ningyuan army has experienced two major battles under the city of Ningyuan and on Juehua Island, and the soul of the Guanning army with it as the core has been forged at this time.

There was almost no time to wash, and after the snare drum sounded, most of the sergeants had to hurriedly solve the problem of excretion and show up on the school yard in full dress.

Otherwise, the strict military laws formulated by Yuan Chonghuan would have been ruthlessly enforced by the officers.

It is naturally a good thing that military law is strict, especially against an unprecedented and vicious opponent like Hou Jin, and the slightest relaxation can easily cause the army to scatter.

Yuan Chonghuan could not represent the military soul of this army, but he was killed by Emperor Chongzhen, which undoubtedly completely disintegrated the already weak military soul of the Guanning Army in history, and was finally brought into the abyss by Wu Sangui, and then disappeared in the long river of history.

The last thing Huang Chongzhen wants to see is that this iron army in the late Ming Dynasty, which had been talked about by later generations, finally entered such a hateful ending.

Therefore, he is making unremitting efforts to this end, imperceptibly trying to change, let it accumulate quantitative changes, and finally complete a qualitative leap.

He also firmly believes that the Guanning Army, which has its own existence, will definitely become a real steel-like army of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming is worthy of him, and he does not live up to Daming.

Huang Chongzhen, who had been dressed neatly for a long time, naturally had time to wash up simply.

When many soldiers got up in a hurry, and rushed to the toilet with their pants.

He had already washed his face with a bucket of freshly drawn hot well water, and brushed his teeth with willow branches dipped in green salt.

Although these green salts were very coarse, they still looked at those sentries with bared teeth and extremely distressed.

Huang Chongzhen felt very dissatisfied, and was very annoyed that he did not bring the newly made toothbrush and toothpaste on Juehua Island, and planned to make these two artifacts for cleaning the mouth first thing after the morning training.

In the rest of the month, although Yuan Chonghuan and the four major defenders worked hard, they had to support the reconstruction of Juehua Island and restore Ningyuan's troops, and the resources allocated by the imperial court were really stretched.

The reconstruction of the army is not an overnight thing, so the Ningyuan school field, which could have been packed, is a little empty today, and individual phalanxes are still disappearing in formation.

This made Huang Chongzhen quite embarrassed, but he didn't think about it, who called the war itself a cruel and painful thing? It will deprive many people of their most precious things.

But in many cases, the only way to solve the problem seems to be war, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, where the world order has not yet been formed, and it is also the right time to lay the foundation for China to stand on top of the world through war.

After all, as far as Huang Chongzhen knows, the era of Exploration and the Renaissance, which played an important watershed role in the history of the development of the human world, has basically ended.

The first industrial revolution in the Western world will begin in another hundred years.

In the past thousands of years, China, which has always stood at the top of the history of world civilization, if it cannot seize this opportunity, forge blood with fire and be reborn from the fire, if it still holds the brick of "feudalism" that is about to be ruthlessly broken.

Then sooner or later, one day, it will be blasted open by those strong ships and cannons that once disdained Gu Zhihongyi.

At that time, if China wants to avoid being constantly humiliated by those small countries like a projectile, it will take hundreds of years of almost humiliating process, constantly overthrowing the three mountains that are pressing on it, and constantly surpassing itself, before it can regain its independence.

In this era, naturally no one can have such a deep understanding as Huang Chongzhen.

The drums interrupted Chongzhen's contemplation, and in the foil of the four guards, with Yuan Chonghuan's order, the peculiar dining form began.

Huang Chongzhen has to admit that this guy's way of training is indeed unique.

The way of eating with fast hands and slow hands is really a way to forget all your troubles.

When their individual strength was not enough to grab the food, the Ningyuan soldiers who had survived the bloody battle, under the leadership of their respective grassroots military attachΓ©s, formed groups of three or five, covered and cooperated, and began to grab as a team.

Of course, if any grain is spilled on the ground due to scramble, then both sides must pick it up and eat it one by one.

This kind of training method, Huang Chongzhen is still the first time he has heard of it, and it can be said that it is very cruel, and if he is not careful, he will plant hatred between each other.

However, the opposite is true, and the effect is surprisingly good.

In the spirit of friendship second and dry rice first, Guan Ning soldiers have all trained themselves to be extremely strong.

No one dared to grab the artillerymen's food, because there was a teenager who could shoot both artillery and surgery, and everyone wanted to have a good relationship, and it was quite desirable to support a few shells when the battle was raging, or to be treated after being seriously injured.

This made the Cannon King Locust, who wanted to join it, very disappointed, and couldn't help but be eager to try, but under everyone's joint resistance, he still failed to do so.

I had nothing to do and squatted in the corner of the school yard with the **, nibbling on steamed buns while watching the show.

The members of the artillery crew, who had never enjoyed such treatment, were like paid spectators in the Qinglou, loudly applauding and cheering.

Huang Chongzhen thought silently: "I didn't expect that this is one of the methods of casting the famous iron army in history, no wonder it can start from the end of the world and quickly become an army at the critical juncture of the loss of the whole Liao."

Successfully blocked the advance of Houjin, and held Guanning for 18 years, making it difficult for Houjin to cross the thunder pool by half a step, which does have its advantages. The scale and prototype have been formed, but only a trace of the military soul that can make it persist is still missing. ”

He never drank raw water, so he grabbed two steamed buns with one hand and gnawed them, and scooped water into the iron pot of steamed steamed buns with the other hand, so that after the comrades-in-arms finished fighting, the heat rose and their mouths were dry, and they had healthy hot water to drink.

"If you have something to eat, eat it quickly, if you can gobble it, you can gobble it up, just swallow it, don't be like a mother-in-law." The fierce ancestor Dashou often scolds those who want to save what they eat and keep it for their loved ones.

Of course, this is true, because when you go to war, no one can predict whether you will be able to bring food to your loved ones, and only when you are full will you have the strength to protect your loved ones from harm.

Zu Dashou's words, Huang Chongzhen has always listened selectively and executed, he took hot water, one sip at a time, although unhurried, but unconsciously stuffed more than a dozen huge steamed buns into his mouth.

The hot water enters the throat and stomach, which helps digestion, not to mention, even the lower abdomen feels warm.

The feeling of being comfortable all over the body is really enjoyable and very fortunate for Chongzhen.

Because this leisure did not last long, he heard a sound of footsteps, and then the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of elegant and complex official boots, and four pairs of simple and practical military boots.

"Handsome! Checkmate! The rest of the artillerymen immediately jumped up and saluted.

Huang Chongzhen has just arrived, and he is soft-spoken, even if he has indeed made great contributions in the previous two wars, he will not be in front of these indigenous leaders so quickly.

Therefore, he quickly stood up, swallowed the last bite of steamed buns by the way, and then stood up and saluted.

Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou had already met him yesterday, and the three of them were still seeing each other for the first time in more than a month.

Seeing that he could fight for the rest of his life in the extremely tragic battle of Juehua when he thought about it, and seemed to be recovering well, he also nodded his head one after another to show comfort, praise, and recognition.

Huang Chongzhen responded one by one with a bright smile.
