Opening another jar of wine, Zhang Ping proposed, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's respect the emperor, you see, under the wise leadership of the emperor in the future, the Ming Dynasty will go to glory." ”

"Yes, yes! I wish us a brilliant day soon! Several people picked up their wines.

Zhu Youzhen, who didn't want to drink more, immediately picked up the bowl, "It's done for the glory of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Putting down the wine bowl, Zhu Youzhen was still unsatisfied, "In the future, our monarchs and ministers will gather more, wine is a good thing, it can stimulate and open up ideas." ”

A few people laughed when they heard it, it is rare for Zhu Youzhen to have such a feeling, there is a way that brothers are united in their interests and cut gold, and the monarch and ministers can not only break gold in the same heart.

"Tzu Xuan! Let's go on to say that the smooth command system is one thing, and the training of officers and soldiers is very important. ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "Actually, it's very simple, if the army wants to win the war, it is nothing more than having several conditions, the first is to select generals, to promote those who are not afraid of death to important posts, the second is to improve the food standard, so that the soldiers can eat well and train hard, and the third is to be strict, on how to improve the results of training, to implement new training methods, not to hide from the emperor, didn't the minister be ordered to recruit a group of people in Shanxi?" Experiments were conducted, and the training results were very good. ”

"Oh? Tzu Xuan, you really have a heart. "Zhu Youzhen was very happy when he heard it, you see that Zhu Cixuan has done a good job, and he knows that he has put gold on my face, unlike some people, who compete for big results, and I am afraid that others will not know that he did it, why don't they have a little consciousness?

The most important thing is that Zhu Cixuan found a way to train the troops, and Zhu Youzhen immediately became interested, "How did you practice?" You name it! ”

Zhang Ping said with a smile: "The minister has a little experience of military training, is this military training?" First, it is necessary to improve combat skills, and the most important thing is to let everyone foster the spirit of being invincible, daring to win battles, and not being afraid of sacrifice. ”

Several people felt that what Zhang Ping said was right, and Wang Jiayan stood up, "Please command the envoy to speak carefully, and listen to me!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was in a hurry, you kid has always spoken like this, can you hurry up and go straight to the point, "Cixuan, tell me quickly, how did you train?" ”

Zhang Ping knew that Zhu Youzhen was anxious again, "Your Majesty, it's better to hear than to see, why don't you call a few of your subordinates over to perform queue training for the emperor and everyone?" ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately stood up, "Okay! Let's all go and see, open our eyes, and see how Cixuan trains the army. ”

This is what everyone is most concerned about, and several people immediately stood up.

Zhang Pingyu felt a little dizzy, but it didn't affect his work, and when he went out, he called Li Jishan, the little eunuch who was standing outside the door and waiting, | Go to the outer court and call a few of the official's guards. ”

Li Xiaoshan and a few people had just come back from eating at the Beiyi Pavilion, and they were sitting under the wall of Wenyuan Pavilion Kan Dashan, when they heard Zhang Ping pass them in, they were immediately excited, I wiped it! Finally, he could go into the inner court to have a look, and he quickly ran to the door of Qianqing, untied the embroidered spring knife and went in, and ran directly to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Ping, who was standing under the east corridor, saw a few people running towards the Qianqing Palace, and knew that these guys thought they were going to visit the Qianqing Palace, and shouted loudly: "Come here!" ”

Li Xiaoshan and a few people saw that the original emperor and the second master were not in the Qianqing Palace, and immediately realized that they were not allowed to come in to visit, there must be something to tell them to do, Li Xiaoshan ran over and saluted Zhu Youzhen first, "The little one has seen the emperor!" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and asked, "What are you running to Qianqing Palace for?" ”

Li Xiaoshan was a little nervous, it was the dormitory that shouted, and he wanted to break in without asking clearly, would the emperor blame him?

Zhang Ping smiled and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, they really want to see what the palace where the emperor lives is like, and they are very curious. ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled when he heard it, "What's there to see?" One day, I will approve you to go to the Taiji Hall to have a look. ”

Li Xiaoshan and the others immediately knelt down, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

When everyone got up, Zhang Ping said: "Don't just remember to visit the place where the emperor lives, just cheer up and do something serious." ”

Li Xiaoshan immediately came to his senses, this followed the commander to make the adult, it was quite boring to stay in the court every day, "Okay! Please command, Commander! ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "The emperor wants to see your queue training, cheer me up!" Hey? Where's your waist knife? ”

Li Xiaoshan was stunned for a moment, "Lord Commander, didn't you say that no one is allowed to bring weapons when they enter the inner court?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, these people still know the rules very well, it seems that Zhu Cixuan is disciplined well, "I want to see your training, and I will allow you to wear weapons inside." ”

Zhang Ping waved his hand, and Li Xiaoshan and the others immediately ran to Qianqingmen to get a waist knife.

A few eunuchs on duty at the Qianqing Gate were stunned when they saw it, these people wanted to bring knives into the inner court? But they had already seen Zhu Youzhen and the cabinet ministers and the son of the empress dowager standing under the east corridor, and they all knew that the emperor must have agreed, but everyone was staring at Li Xiaoshan and the others.

"Li Xiaoshan!"

"Here!"

"Subjects!"

Zhang Ping said the word "subject", and Li Xiaoshan and the others immediately stood in a standard military posture, and everyone's spirits were uplifted.

"Queue training, three steps, two times each, requirements, everyone concentrates, take every step seriously, start!"

Li Xiaoshan agreed: "Yes!" He turned around and went with his men.

"Line up! At ease! Attention! Align with the right! Look forward! Count! ”

Following Li Xiaoshan's command, the four soldiers quickly stood in line, their movements were uniform, and the horizontal line stood in a straight line.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!"

The pronunciation is standard, clear and quick.

"Walk in two columns!"

Immediately, the even-numbered soldier maintains his upper body in an upright position, and after taking a kick with his left leg to the left rear, he automatically looks forward to the right.

Immediately after everyone automatically shook their heads and stood together, seeing that these people were swinging their heads like an assembly line, it immediately aroused the excitement of Zhu Youzhen and others, and this action looked really exciting.

Li Xiaoshan ran to the front of the two horizontal columns and pulled out his waist knife, holding the tip of the knife in his right hand diagonally downward, giving the command of "walking in unison", and the other people put their left hands on their waists and tightly held the root of the scabbard, and stepped forward with their left legs.

One back and forth, the two columns were still in a straight line between the marches, and everyone's action standards were the same, which stunned Zhu Youzhen and others.

After performing the chorus and running, the positive step begins.

They set of queue action is completely Zhang Ping moved the regulations of the later Chinese army intact, people who have seen the big parade are impressed by the neat pace of the Chinese soldiers and the strong momentum they show, Li Xiaoshan and others, although there are few people, and they cannot reach the highest level of the soldiers of that era, but the confident momentum is vividly expressed, when they are about to go to the middle, Li Xiaoshan gave the order: "Look to the right!" ”

Immediately, all the people shouted neatly and loudly: "One, two!" Everyone pulled out the waist knife in unison, held the shiny waist knife tightly with his right hand obliquely downward, and quickly and neatly turned his head to pay attention, while Li Xiaoshan held the waist knife tightly and raised the knife salute, the neat pace, the knife that formed a line, and the highly concentrated high morale shocked Zhu Youzhen, Li Banghua and others.

Zhu Youzhen was surprised, wow! Is there anyone else in the world who walks like this?

Not only Zhu Youzhen, but Li Banghua and others were shocked.

After the performance of the three major steps, Li Xiaoshan ran over and raised his hand to salute, Zhang Ping raised his hand to salute, Li Xiaoshan reported, "Commander, the queue is finished, please instruct"

The words of this report are also trained and standardized, and are completely copied from the regulations of later generations.

Zhu Youzhen felt very strange, why did Li Xiaoshan run over and raise his hand, and Zhang Ping also did that action, what do you mean?

Zhang Ping wanted everyone to take a good look at the momentum of the soldiers he had trained, and immediately gave the order, "Splitting training, start!" ”

"Yes!"

After Li Xiaoshan and Zhang Ping exchanged military salutes, Li Xiaoshan ran to the command position, and the running movements were also standard and standardized.

"Spread out in training formation!"

With Li Xiaoshan's command, the first row kicked three steps forward, and the back row kicked one step at the same time when the first row kicked the third step, and then everyone turned left at the same time, minus one according to the double of the number reported, and then turned around at the same time to look to the right.

With Li Xiaoshan's password, a set of stabbing movements were performed in a uniform manner. This set of knife movements includes nine movements: straight slashing, oblique slashing, horizontal slashing, left and right knife picking, sideways blocking of the knife, and turning back to slash and defend. Needless to say, their performances are still uniform.

Shock! Shock!

After Li Xiaoshan and the others finished their performances, they were ordered to return to the outer court, and Zhu Youzhen and others also had a full meal and went directly back to the Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, Zhu Youzhen asked all the way, "What do you mean by raising your hand to your head?" ”

Zhang Ping naturally had to seriously explain, "The regulations stipulate that there must be etiquette between soldiers, and soldiers must salute each other when they meet for the first time every day, when subordinates meet their superiors, and when they meet at the same level. ”

So, Zhu Youzhen began to imitate the salute, the action is definitely not standard, Zhang Ping gave a demonstration to correct, "The big arm is slightly flat, the middle finger is aimed at the temple, the four fingers are together, the mother finger is attached to the base of the index finger, and the palm is slightly outward." ”

Zhu Youzhen thought it was very interesting, repeated it several times, and asked with a smile: "Why do you stipulate such a salute?" ”

Zhang Ping smiled and did not answer.

In an instant, Zhu Youzhen understood that this was stipulated by Zhu Cixuan, and it must be stipulated by the army in later generations.

As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Jiayan was also interested in imitating several times, and Zhang Ping also explained and corrected Wang Jiayan.

Zhu Youzhen sat down on the dragon chair, "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think of Cixuan's soldiers?" ”

How many people can say anything? The answer is "Yes!" all the time. ”

Or "Great! ”

"Let's train troops like this?"

Wang Jiayan was the first to answer, "Let's train like this, but there are too few people to teach." ”

Zhang Ping said with a smile: "How many do you want, Lord Wang, don't forget, the hundreds of soldiers of this official in Shanxi will arrive soon, everyone can serve as an instructor, I have written a queue drill book, when they arrive, you can organize a copy and send it to the troops, by the way, it is best to print, the more the better." ”

Wang Jiayan couldn't help nodding, "That's it!" Is that! ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Ping, "The stabbing performed by your soldiers is very good, I think there are fewer movements, you can find a martial artist to make up a few more movements." ”

Zhang Ping looked at Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, you still don't understand!" There are more actions just tricks, good looks are not applicable, training should be close to actual combat, when the minister first organized the preparation of the splitting technique, there were many movements, the minister convened everyone to study many times, and finally, most of them were deleted, and there were only nine splitting techniques left, and after practicing these nine movements, it was basically possible to meet the needs of the operation, the less this action, the more refined the practice, the soldier practiced the action to extreme speed, practiced to subconsciously make moves, and reached the standard, so that it was really on the battlefield, the enemy's knife has not arrived, his own knife has arrived, and it is not easy to kill the opponent? ”

Li Banghua clapped his hands and praised, "Essence! Quintessence! The conductor made the study home. ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "Thanks to Shoufu's praise, this official has conducted a combat test for this set of assassination techniques, when a few profiteers in Shanxi transported goods, they found a lot of bodyguards to escort them, and when the official led people to rob them, the same people were one-on-one, and it was basically not troublesome to solve them." ”

Wang Jiayan was surprised, "The commander still led people to rob?" ”

Zhang Ping continued to laugh, "That's! The emperor doesn't give money, how can this official raise these soldiers? That is, there is a lack of meat to eat, and they go to the steppe to rob the tartars, and when they lack money, they go to rob those profiteers. Hey! That little day is comfortable, nostalgic! ”

When Zhang Ping said this, everyone laughed.

Ni Yuanlu looked at Zhang Ping and smiled again after laughing, that means, do you think I believe what you say? If the emperor had commanded the adults to come up with ideas earlier, he would still be so confused and have no way at all?

Alas! What is their relationship? Let's not ask, it's not something you can ask casually, it's not good to know more, it's good now anyway.

Zhang Ping continued: "Your Majesty, queue training is the most basic training, and each unit must also carry out tactical synthesis training, and the cooperation between groups and teams is very important. The minister analyzed the characteristics of Jianguo, to defeat Jianyu, first of all, to equip advanced firearms, about this matter, the minister has already studied with Lord Wang and Lord Jiang, Lord Wang has sent Jin Zhijun to invite Bi Maokang, and when Bi Maokang comes, we must make a large number of flintlock pistols with all our might, so that the soldiers will no longer fight face-to-face with Jianyu, and the minister has also studied with Lord Jiang Dejing, when the minister was in Shanxi, he brought out more than 20 people who can make new artillery, and Lord Jiang is looking for craftsmen with all his might, We will spend three months to build the guns and artillery needed to fight a battle with Jianguo, completely subdue them once, and after solving Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, we will send troops to Liaodong to destroy Jianguo and completely solve the border defense problem. The problem now is to start conscription training with all our might, and there is a problem that the four bureaus to be established by Lord Chiang have not yet been opened, and the minister suggested that the emperor abolish the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, vacate two Governor's Mansions as the Generalissimo's Mansion, and hand over the remaining three Governor's Mansions to Lord Chiang for use. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, this kid has thought about everything, and I have a lot of peace of mind, "Just do as you say!" ”
