Xiao Ming was ordered to form the Royal Guard, which was to ask for silver, and now with Zhao Gou's permission, Xiao Ming can blatantly use the silver taels of the household department and the military department, in fact, with the tax silver taels of the southeast five roads, to maintain a Great Song Dynasty court located in the southeast, which is basically more than enough, but it is very expensive to build an army.

Luo Wen once asked Xiao Ming: "Why don't you say that the Tiger Guards are directly merged into the Great Song Dynasty Royal Guards?" ”

Xiao Ming just told him that the Tiger Guard was just a skeleton, and it was far from meeting the requirements of the Royal Guard, but in fact, how could Xiao Ming dare to hand over his only and most effective private armed force to others, but he found a good errand for Luo Wen, that is, to appoint Luo Wen as the Jin Wuwei Great Surprise Army!

This official position had the second-rank official position of General Jin Wuwei during the time of Zhezong, and when it came to the Gaozong Dynasty, it became an official position from the fourth grade, with the purpose of leading a guard of honor for the emperor! The Emperor's guard of honor is now called Jin Wuwei! Dressed in gold clothes and gold armor, standing on both sides of the Chengtai Palace and both sides of the Jinshui Bridge is majestic, if it weren't for the Chengtai Palace and the Jinshui Bridge in Hangzhou are too small, it would be a kind of royal style and majesty!

These Jin Wuwei are not only dressed in gold and armor, but also scooped up gold melons, golden axes and gold axes, and the tall and burly appearance under the ribbon is very satisfying to Gaozong, but these gold clothes and gold armor are not all gold, and in summer they are all cardboard shells, and only in winter they dare to wear metal armor after lining cotton jackets, which are also iron, but the outside is painted with gold paint!

Luo Wen's responsibility is to recruit and train such a group of people, and he has led the team to train the experience of the Tiger Guard Drill Code all year round, which is very familiar, he has already broken the idea of being able to be promoted, which Cheng thought that he had become a high-ranking official from the fourth grade in just a few years, and Guangzong Yaozu was even more grateful to Xiao Ming, so he put his mind on training those Jin Wuwei, and the last of these Jin Wuwei exhaust team came, the leather boots clicked, neatly and uniformly, and even the tips of the melon head were consistent, which provoked the Gaozong who watched loudly!

But then again, Rowan is gone, what to do with the training of the Tiger Guard, in fact, over the years, the training of the Tiger Guard has formed a complete set of systems, and many Tiger Guards who are on the verge of retirement have taken the post of instructors, constantly summarizing and improving a complete set of Tiger Guard's training methods.

And this set of methods is carried out together with actual combat, including the previous summary, the kind of direct shooting technology for cavalry, has been a single combat technology, from the previous battles in the tiger guards casualties are very few, which also makes these tiger guards very conceited and arrogant, this emotion permeates the entire tiger guards between the top and bottom.

Xiao Ming thought that the spread of this kind of emotion should not be considered a good thing, but after thinking about it, this is not a tradition of the Tiger Guards, a symbol of honor, and in order to defend this honor, every Tiger Guard can be cherished very much, just like the gold medal on his shoulder.

But to say that the Tiger Guard is perfect, it is not necessarily true, at least according to Xiao Ming's requirements are still far away, so the formation of the Royal Guard and the reforging of the Tiger Guard Army was carried out together, Xiao Ming's purpose is to build a group of very effective troops, to serve as an example in the country, so that all local troops can learn from each other.

The forbidden army of the Imperial Front Division and the Imperial Front Division was singled out to form a small training group, and their training was put together with the Tiger Guards, which was to let these forbidden soldiers who thought they were noble-born take a look at the gap between themselves and the Tiger Guards, and sharpen their edges and corners, while the instructors were middle- and lower-level officers selected from the Tiger Guards, that is, those company platoon commanders.

In fact, these forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty have also heard the deeds of the Tiger Guards, and they are very envious of their achievements, but at the moment, the real large-scale fight with the Jin soldiers is still the traditional Great Song Forbidden Army, but when Han Shizhong's Tiger Division Guards appeared, these arrogant forbidden soldiers had nothing to say.

On the colonel field on the outskirts of the northern city of Hangzhou, the slogans of the training of the royal guards and tiger guards sounded together, and they put down their accustomed swords, guns, swords, halberds, shields, bows and arrows, and scooped up a rifle made of wood.

The Tiger Guards have a whole set of military punishment regulations, one of the most severe punishments is not allowed to eat meat, the food of the Tiger Guards has always been the most attractive, and it is composed of several carts, when it is time to eat, the smell of food from those carts can almost instantly make those soldiers who are highly trained put down all their reserve and face.

A large number of vegetables, fruits, rice noodles, pork, oil eggs and other things were pulled from Hangzhou, and the soldiers' three meals a day basically had more than a dozen kinds of renovation changes, and the fruits after the meal were even more essential, there must be meat for lunch and dinner, and an egg for breakfast.

All his Tiger Guards have a very high training intensity every day, and those forbidden soldiers who are regarded as the palace front division and the imperial front division of the Royal Forest Army have a daily diet of nothing more than some dough cakes and brown rice balls, and they often have beef soup to drink, and in order to save money, the barracks once ate very salty pickles!

Therefore, after seeing the food of the guards, many unruly officers and soldiers could not help but succumb, and they were willing to eat such a meal even if they did not scoop up silver! On the day when the two armies started training together, when they learned that it was indeed the same meal as the Tiger Guards, the excitement and satisfaction were no less than that of the New Year.

The money allocated by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households was originally for the Royal Guard to change equipment and weapons, but now it has all been improved by Xiao Ming for the soldiers, of course, the people below don't know, such a day with meat every day is good, but with physical strength, you need to play with life-threatening training, if you dare to defy the law, then good, neither beat you nor scold you, let alone confine you, that is, you will not be allowed to eat meat, the so-called: "vegetarian food for three days to punish!" ”！

Seeing others eat meat, and they can't eat it, it is estimated that these people are more uncomfortable than beating the military stick, so they are honest and obedient, of course, there is a punishment for beating the military stick, but it really can't be compared with this punishment, the soldier's monthly salary ranges from 20 to 50 yuan, the officer is slightly higher, but the training is not low at all, the tiger guard instructor called this: "Lead by example!" ”

So these royal guards got up every morning to run laps with weights, in order to increase the ability to march, after breakfast began to march drills, lined up to walk in a phalanx, in order to increase the quality of the soldiers' orders, after lunch for an hour, in the afternoon is the crossbow shooting training, only the crossbow bow shot accurately can better use the rifle.

Of course, there is also cavalry and archery training, and there are also ways to exercise strength and compete in martial arts, but these are not the main training methods, the rifle stabbing assassination combat is a must, this is a set of ways to improve through spear fighting assassination, which Xiao Ming learned when he was a lieutenant of the forbidden army, and there was cultural learning after dinner, and it was specially invited to teach soldiers to read and write.

Unlike Enlightenment Teaching, the teachers at that time were collectively called professors, and they still taught in the way of teaching children, but Xiao Ming asked him to teach soldiers only some common words! At that time, there were not many people who knew the words of the soldiers, basically they were illiterate, and they only ate food as soldiers in order to eat for a while, and now they can learn to use Chinese characters in the barracks, and they are also required to be able to write family letters, which is very tempting for many people.

At that time, in the northern suburbs of the colonel, in addition to the shouts of the soldiers during the daytime training, there was also a singing project before going to bed, and the strange sound of these soldiers shouting out at the throat had made many people in Hangzhou frown!

"My generation came out of the Great Song Dynasty and bravely won the three armies. The light cavalry is thousands of miles away, and the captives are tied to the long tassels...... "from the hands of the Great Song Emperor Song Gaozong Zhao Gou!" This song was changed by Xiao Ming from "I Am a Soldier", in addition to this, he also taught the classic military songs of the People's Liberation Army such as "Our Team to the Sun" to the people below, of course, the lyrics in it have been slightly changed.

In order to embody the masculinity, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Guards did not necessarily lose to the Tiger Guards in this aspect, and no matter how ridiculous the words shouted out by pulling their throats were, they were always a channel for these young people to vent their excess energy, so that all kinds of roars sounded like thunder, and after a long time, the surrounding people regarded this as a scene in Hangzhou.

According to the Song system, if there is an infantry army, there must be a horse army, and a team is really a little lacking if there is no horse army, but at present, the Great Song Dynasty is facing the dilemma of a shortage of horses.

Fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty still had some horse reserves, so Xiao Ming gave priority to establishing a cavalry regiment, the cavalry regiment used a standard saber, of course, the training was mainly cavalry charge, but Xiao Ming's requirements for the cavalry regiment were indeed incredible, that is, the cavalry was to cooperate with the infantry to capture prisoners!

The spiritual outlook of the Great Song Dynasty Royal Guards smashed out with a large amount of silver is really different, when Gaozong Zhao Gou came to review with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and hundreds of officials, he was immediately shocked by the army in front of him, what kind of army is this! Not only were the civil and military officials behind him dumbfounded!

The Royal Guards wore a kind of red woolen military uniform, which was still the thin tweed fabric made of the latest wool weaving of Richanglong, the clothes were open on the front, but they were clasped by dense metal buttons, two cross straps passed through the chest, and the cowhide belt killed the waist tightly, carrying a rifle more than one person high, the latest rifle plus the spear pierced half a head above the head, and the bayonet was shiny! The heavily armed guards walked in front of the viewing platform in a phalanx with their chests and heads raised, their movements neatly and meticulously, and when Zhao Gou stood up, the troops shouted: "Long live!" Banzai! ……”

"Good! Good! Zhao Gou had some tears in his eyes, the modern military parade was shocking to people, not to mention the kind of admiration and love that the soldiers showed to him, and shouted like thunder: "Long live my emperor!" "Resounding in the sky, the vibration brought by the leather boot step, "pop ......!" "The sound hits everyone's eardrums!

Xiao Ming whispered in Zhao Gou's ear: "Your Majesty, how is this army?" ”

Zhao said: "Okay! Good......! ”

Xiao Ming said: "My Great Song Dynasty originally had a forbidden army of 800,000, plus the Xiang army and the Fan army, there were always about 1.2 million, but they were defeated by the Jurchen Jin State, if we establish such an army, it doesn't take too much, as long as 100,000 can sweep the four seas!" The Northern Expedition is trivial! ”

Zhao said: "Okay! Good! ……”
