148. Rainy season

A Sichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and flocculents, and the plum is yellow when it rains.

In April and May, Jiangnan entered the rainy season, and there was no sunshine for most of the day.

Occasionally, there will be torrential rain, but more often it is a drizzle that lingers non-stop, like flying flotsam, like smoke, gentle and quiet.

Gu Qing walked out of the yamen, stepped on the freshly washed stone road, raised his head, and his handsome face greeted the rain, hoping to wash away the gloom on his face.

In the past two months, he has endured too much pressure for the new Buddha, some from the people, and more from the court.

Although King Yan's strategy was very effective, and the Imperial City Division also put a lot of thought into the specific operation, this kind of behavior of cutting meat from others was destined not to go too well.

Buddhism has deep roots and influence is everywhere, and the monks are not willing to accept the new Buddha policy, even if they are forced to give money by the situation, they will still do everything they can to make trouble for the Imperial City Division.

Even if the killing weapon of 'rewarded report' was sacrificed, which effectively prevented the monks and nuns from doing bad things on the surface, it couldn't prevent them from casting hidden arrows behind their backs.

Gu Qing can not care about the reputation of the people, after all, the Imperial City Division did not have it before, and it does not need a good reputation, but the attacks and impeachments from the ministers have dealt a substantial blow to the Imperial City Division.

Just yesterday morning, the right minister Dong Huai made a petition to the Zhao officials' family, urging them to cheer up like Goujian, the king of Yue, and try to improve themselves, encourage the border generals, strengthen the border defense, promote talents, and promote the old law of promotion.

Although this policy program can be regarded as an old-fashioned discussion, if it can be effectively implemented, it will also be effective in improving the political situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

Then he solemnly pointed out that at present, there are three evils that are not conducive to the government and government, one is that the relatives of the clan do not obey the law, which makes the court lose its prestige, the second is that the law enforcement officials have been better than their officials for a long time and are good at prestige, and the third is that the imperial city department does not manage the soldiers, and the soldiers are arrogant.

It is equivalent to saying that Dong Huai believes that specific administration should start with the elimination of the three evils.

The clan does not follow the law, which is common in the era of imperial power, which is about the difference between severity and severity, and it is indeed more serious at this time, but it also has the meaning of alluding to King Yan.

The last two, especially the third, are completely output on the face of the Imperial City Division.

Although it is hindered by King Yan, the ministers will not directly make irresponsible remarks about the new Buddha policy, but it is enough to give the Imperial City Division a head start if they knock on the side and catch the fault from elsewhere.

Although Zhao Guanjia did not express his position in court, he still sent Gu Qing an edict full of severe reprimands afterwards, ordering him to strictly restrain the subordinates of the Imperial City Division.

It was just a reprimand from the Zhao official family, even if Gu Qing was discouraged, but it would be over after holding on, and he was more worried about the follow-up from the collective targeting of the ministers.

"Click... Click......"

The sound of horses' hooves woke up Gu Qing, who was contemplative in the rain.

The official led two horses behind him, "Mention it, where are we going?" ”

Gu Qing turned over and got on his horse, flipped the hood of his cloak over his head, and tightened his belt, "Go to the Dongwei Camp." "I grabbed the horse's belly and jumped out, blending into the rain and mist.

Zhao Mengqi has not yet given the Yan Wang Wei army an official name, because the military camp is located in the east of the city, and it also has the meaning of the army of the East Palace, so it is referred to as Yan Wei or Dongwei by most people.

When he arrived at the barracks, although Gu Qing had a token that he could meet King Yan at any time, he was only able to enter after a strict customs inspection.

When he walked to the school grounds, he saw a square formation like tofu blocks, neatly lined up in the rain and mist, and the soldiers in the formation were like statues, standing upright and motionless.

Between the arrays, instructors wearing golden armbands walked around with a whip in their hands, but whenever they found that a soldier's movements were not standardized, his head was a whip.

After two months, 5,000 soldiers were recruited in four batches, the second batch was 10 days after the first batch of training, and it was also 500 people.

The first three batches of 2,000 people were okay and all met the literacy requirements, but in the last batch, most of them were illiterate and needed to wait until they had passed the recruit period before they were given literacy education.

In the middle of the platform, King Yan faced the soldiers, and he also stood upright, except for his eyes, the rest of his body was motionless.

Zhao Mengqi did not practice equality for everyone in the army, but instead implemented a strict hierarchy system, but this did not prevent him from leading the troops to train by example.

All the training methods and tactical movements in the army were formulated by him after referring to the suggestions of veterans such as Qu Moxuan, and he took the lead in demonstrating them.

Since the first day of recruitment, Zhao Mengqi has basically never been out of this barracks, and his personal training intensity is the highest among all of them, which is why no recruit dares to complain.

Behind Zhao Mengqi, there are Qu Moxuan and Chang Geng and other generals, they are relatively free, and they do not need to accompany the training, most of the time they are observing, and after finding problems, they will make suggestions and opinions to King Yan.

Lao Qu is now looking at Zhao Mengqi, and his eyes are full of admiration and admiration.

At first, he was very unimpressed with King Yan's training method, just like this Lizheng now, he stood stupidly for half an hour, and he didn't know what the hell was the use of this thing.

But gradually, he found that these seemingly simple and boring trainings, including standing inside, such as military postures, queues, and marches, all had very detailed regulations and strict standards, and the pursuit was uniformity and prohibition.

It seems useless, but in just half a month, an ordinary person can transform into a soldier, and this growth rate makes Lao Qu and other generals marvel.

In the past two months, even the last batch of people to enter the camp have gone through at least twenty days of rigorous training, and as long as they give the password, everyone can immediately subconsciously take corresponding actions.

Swift and smooth, the effect that was previously only possible in the elite elite troops.

It was also at this time that Lao Qu understood why Yan Wang put literacy in the first place.

Facts have proved that in terms of comprehension and learning ability, literate teenagers outperform illiterate teenagers, and many illiterate people struggle to even score about points, so even with one-on-one help, the final batch of recruits is relatively far behind in terms of training progress.

Fortunately, King Yan ingeniously broke down the tactical moves to make it easier for recruits to understand and master.

Moreover, a concise, clear and easy-to-operate training manual has been written, and with the deepening of training, it has been continuously improved and improved, so that when training recruits in the future, as long as they follow it, they can simply train a steady stream of high-quality recruits.

Just when Lao Qu's thoughts were turning, Gu Qing had already ascended to the Dianjiang platform, and Zhao Mengqi had already seen it, but he still didn't move until the incense stick of the timekeeping burned out and went out.

"All of them! At ease! ”

Zhao Meng inspired the order, and then the twenty instructors in front of the stage who were specially used for amplification shouted in unison, spreading the order to the audience.

Smack.

The 5,000 soldiers moved their right feet sideways, shoulder-width apart, and placed their hands behind their waists, turning to a standing and resting posture, but still holding their heads high.

This scene shocked Gu Qing fiercely, dumbfounded, this is a recruit who has only been practicing for two months!?

"Take the temporary company as the leader, run out of the camp, and run for ten miles!"

The order, assisted by the instructor, commanded, one by one, the company-level phalanx, ran towards the camp gate one after another, at this time the formation was a little chaotic, but it could still maintain the general appearance.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he was dreaming, but he heard Zhao Mengqi's voice.

"Consultant Gu, is there something wrong? If it's not urgent, I'll take a shower first, it's damn weather, sweat mixed with rain, sticky and greasy......"

P. I feel like I can code another chapter
