Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 146 Training Part 2

Zhao Chen has already returned to Yue Fei's room. At this moment, the sweat on Zhao Chen's body has already dried up, and the clothes on his body are also dirty and smelly!

He didn't take it seriously, he didn't take it to heart!

Lin Bao arrived with Zhao Chen in the morning. At this moment, Lin Bao had already prepared the bathtub and said, "Your Majesty, shall you take a bath first?"

Zhao Chen looked inside, and saw that the bathtub was extremely gorgeous, and there were various things such as flower petals in it. He couldn't help but smile, and said, "Does it need to be so troublesome? Go get a basin of cold water!"

Lin Bao was taken aback for a moment. He didn't dare to disobey Zhao Chen's order, so he poured a basin of cold water on Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen took the cold water and poured it from the top of his head. It felt cool for a while, and he couldn't help laughing!

"Your Majesty, this... this... is something only soldiers in the army do?" Lin Bao opened his mouth and said.

"From now on, I will stay in the army, and I am also a soldier! I will do what the soldiers do! Come to the barracks and enjoy it, is that reasonable?" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Yes! I understand!" Lin Bao said.

"You have been with me for a long time! After Zhe Keqiu died, you probably understand what kind of person I am and what I am going to do! If this is the case, don't treat me like an ordinary emperor! I hate slanderous ministers, I like honest ministers! From now on, don't think about how you can please me, you should think about how you can make me more motivated, how can I realize my ambition as soon as possible, do you understand?" Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao , said coldly.

"I understand!" Lin Bao hurriedly said.

"Very good! If you stay by my side, it is really beneficial to me, and I will not treat you badly! If you only want to please blindly, then I will be rude to you! You should return to the palace now When Li Gang and Wang Shu arrive tomorrow morning, you tell them that I will stay in Nanzheng's barracks and let them send all the political affairs to the barracks, and I will naturally find time to deal with them!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! I will do it now!" Lin Bao said.

"Also...the empress is very lonely and boring in the palace, you can find some women to accompany her!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said again.

"Yes!" Lin Bao nodded.

He immediately understood that Zhe Yueru still had a certain place in Zhao Chen's heart, and he secretly vowed to please Zhe Yueru! At the moment he left the barracks to handle Zhao Chen's affairs, not to mention that.

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei stayed in the barracks, Yue Fei had ordered meals to be prepared, and now the two had dinner together.

"Your Majesty sets an example today and participates in training, and I will admire you in the end!" Yue Fei said.

"I will do this every day from now on! You are the same, you have to train with us!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! Even if His Majesty doesn't say anything and doesn't come, I will train with the soldiers!" Yue Fei said.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen laughed.

After a while, Zhao Chen asked, "How do you train on weekdays?"

Yue Fei was startled, and said: "It's nothing more than letting the soldiers practice martial arts! Only when the martial arts are high, can we repel the enemy on the battlefield!"

Zhao Chen frowned, and said, "Just practicing martial arts, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Yue Fei said: "Occasionally, I also train some formations!"

Zhao Chen shook his head, and said, "I'm afraid the array will not work!"

Ancient Chinese wars paid attention to "arranging troops and forming formations". The ancient generals and emperors invented various formations! Especially in the Song Dynasty, this "array" was truly accomplished! Before the generals of the Song Dynasty went to war, it was usually the emperor who issued the formation plan in the court, and then the general followed the formation plan! These formations are varied, including eight trigrams formation, mandarin duck formation, one-word long snake formation, two dragons playing in water formation and so on! Zhao Chen really doesn't know how effective this formation is! But he understands one thing, whether it is the Jurchens or the Mongols, they don't have so many formations at all, but they are invincible! People just pay attention to strategy and bravery. During the war, they swarmed up and fought hard, and the "formation" of the Song people did not play any role in front of these foreigners!

At this moment Zhao Chen said that the formation was not good, Yue Fei actually agreed, saying: "I also think this formation is a bit ridiculous! In a real war, the enemy suddenly rushes up, how can there be time to form an army? On the battlefield, we should adapt to the situation and use Attacking the weak with the strong, luring the enemy with the weak, attacking from all sides, etc., just using formations may not necessarily win!"

Historically, Zong Ze's evaluation of Yue Fei is that he is not good at formations, but good at "field warfare". The so-called field warfare is the way of fighting without forming formations! In the eyes of traditional generals like Zong Ze, such field battles are unacceptable! And Yue Fei's response to Zong Ze's words is also famous in history, which is called "Battle after battle, the art of war is constant, the use of it is wonderful, and it is all in one mind"! Zong Ze wanted to pass on to Yue Fei his collection of more than a dozen "formation diagrams" of being invincible in the world, but Yue Fei did not accept it! Later, Yue Fei didn't use those formations to fight, but he was the God of War in this era! People like Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and others seldom act according to the formation plan when they fight. They always adapt to the situation and confront the enemy. They pay more attention to strategy than formation plan!

Zhao Chen said: "It seems that we have to think about the method of training soldiers! Tomorrow morning we will practice martial arts first, we will still stand at noon, and we will continue to practice martial arts in the afternoon! I will think about the other things!"

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that standing is of little use? On the real battlefield, there is no need for soldiers to stand!"

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "On the real battlefield, of course there is no need to stand all the time! But standing can exercise the soldiers' physical strength and their willpower! They can stand for several hours under the scorching sun, and when they come to the battlefield, they can Ambushes in the ice and snow for several hours, do you think so?"

Yue Fei nodded, and said, "So that's it! I understand! Your Majesty's military training skills, I admire you very much!"

Zhao Chen said: "I have more training methods! I will let you see them one by one in the future!"

In the evening, Zhao Chen continued to go deep into the army and talk with the soldiers, not to mention this.

*****

On the next morning, Zhao Chen trained with the soldiers!

It was martial arts training in the morning, and many soldiers stabbed straight there with spears! There are also some soldiers who are training there with long knives! The martial arts trained by each soldier are different!

After Zhao Chen saw it, he frowned secretly. In the army of later generations, the soldiers all acted in a unified way, with unified military boxing and bayonet fighting, but here they trained individually!

While training with these soldiers, he thought about ways to improve!

I was still standing at noon, this time I trained for a total of one hour!

The soldiers felt the great humiliation yesterday, so today they secretly vowed to stand for enough time! It's just that some soldiers were exhausted and still passed out on the ground! In the end, less than half of them could persevere, but this time Zhao Chen didn't scold them again!

In the afternoon it was still martial arts training!

At dusk, after dinner, Zhao Chen called Yue Fei and several generals of the Forbidden Army together!

Zhao Chen said: "We can't train like this! I want to discuss with you and write a book of military training!"

The generals below were all stunned, and one of the generals said: "The book of military training? What is the book of military training?"

Zhao Chen said: "The so-called book of military training is a book on how to train soldiers better! Our Han people have many military arts, but these military arts are all methods of using soldiers, but there is no method of training soldiers! Since ancient times, there have been no methods of training soldiers. System, no rules! I decided to compile a systematic and standardized method of training soldiers!"

Yue Fei was surprised: "What do you mean by being systematic and regulated?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "To be systematic and regulated is to train according to the established standards! What to do every morning, what to do at noon, what to do in the afternoon, what to do in the evening, we all decide for him! Practice standing, how to stand, practice martial arts, every move and every move, we all set it down! I figured it out, the name of this training book is called the Infantry Exercise Code! From today on, we will be training and writing this infantry book at the same time. drill book!"

The infantry drill code was originally the standard method for the Germans to train soldiers! Since the seventeenth century, the German army has gradually become the strongest army in the world, and this infantry drill is indispensable! After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese introduced German military training methods, and they also compiled infantry drills. After that, the Japanese military strength continued to increase, so that it was able to compare with Russia, the big country at the time, and defeated Russia in the Northeast! After the Japanese army entered China, their individual qualities were indeed extraordinary, surpassing the Chinese army at that time, so they occupied many Chinese territories in a short period of time!

For an army, the method of training is also very important! In Zhao Chen's view, he should learn from Germany, Japan and other countries in later generations, and write a standard method of military training, so that it is possible to train a strong army!

"Okay! I agree with Your Majesty!" Yue Fei said.

Yue Fei had already nodded in agreement, and the generals below also nodded in agreement!

"I thought a lot about it today! In addition to standing and martial arts, we also need running training and queue training! Let's talk about running and queue training today!" Zhao Chen said.

"Running?" Yue Fei was taken aback again!

He can still accept queue training, in fact, those formation training includes queue training! But running training, the ancient Chinese army rarely had such a training method!

"Running is similar to standing. On the one hand, it trains physical strength, and on the other hand, it trains willpower! Queue is obedience training! And when fighting, three, five, or ten people form a small team, move forward together, and kill the enemy together , This is far better than fighting alone on the battlefield, isn't it?" Zhao Chen said.

"Not bad!" Yue Fei nodded!

"Running training also requires formation. An army is an army, and only formation can determine discipline! Without formation, there is no discipline! When running, you should step on your left foot, right foot, etc., and these must be regulated!" Zhao Chen said. .

"Ah! These also need to be regulated?" Yue Fei couldn't believe it.

"It's just that you need to regulate during training!" Zhao Chen laughed.

It was late at night, and Zhao Chen was still discussing with them!

Zhao Chen had already taken out the paper, and he wrote a line of words "Infantry Exercise Code" on the paper, and then wrote various training methods below! Including queue training, running training, endurance training, martial arts training and many more!

Yue Fei was discussing with the generals there, and Zhao Chen was there to remember!

It wasn't until midnight that they dispersed one after another!

Zhao Chen just wrote this infantry drill today, and the framework hasn't even been written yet! In the next period of time, he will have to discuss and think carefully, and compile this book properly! He wants to combine some military training methods known to later generations with the military training methods of this era, which is in line with the actual situation of this era and has its advanced nature!

*****

The following day, in the morning, the training program changed from martial arts to running!

Zhao Chen and the soldiers ran towards the west together, and they ran for about five kilometers before stopping, and then they returned to the army!

After arriving in the army, most of the soldiers lay on the ground and could not get up again!

They didn't have this kind of training at all before, how could they bear the ten kilometers back and forth?

At noon, standing under the sun, many soldiers couldn't stand still and fell down one after another! Just seeing Zhao Chen still standing there, they gritted their teeth and stood up again, continuing to stand with Zhao Chen!

In the afternoon, it was martial arts practice. According to Zhao Chen's opinion, the weapons in everyone's hands became spears!

The soldiers lined up in a row, one by one, and after hearing an order, the soldiers in the front row stabbed fiercely with their spears in front of them! When they finished stabbing, the soldiers in the row behind them stabbed their spears out from the gaps in the bodies of the soldiers in the front row!

"Stab! Take! Stab! Take!" Suddenly, such voices were everywhere!

The soldiers can't rest until the sun goes down!

Many soldiers were too tired to walk, they just lay on the training ground! They are too tired, so they don't go to eat!

A soldier was lying there, and at this moment a voice suddenly came from the side: "Are you too tired? Do you want some water? I have already fetched water!"

The soldier shuddered. He opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Zhao Chen standing in front of him. He was taken aback, stood up hastily, and said, "The villain didn't know His Majesty was coming, he deserves death!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "Sit down and talk! What's your fault? It's normal to lie here for a while after training!"

When the two of them talked, the soldiers lying next to them were awakened one after another. At this moment, these soldiers also got up one after another, a little at a loss!

"Sit down! I've sent someone to bring water! Let's drink some water first, and then go eat!" Zhao Chen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" said the soldier before.

"These two days of training, do you think it was hard?" Zhao Chen asked.

The soldier hesitated for a while, but after a while, he nodded and said, "Bitter! We have never experienced such suffering!"

Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers around him again, and said, "Talk about it too, is it suffering?"

The surrounding soldiers nodded one after another, saying "bitter" in their mouths!

"We are suffering, but do you know how miserable our relatives in the north are? They are now under the rule of the Jurchens, living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. They work for the Jurchens from morning to night every day. It’s hard to eat a full meal! If the Jurchens have any dissatisfaction, they can kill them at will! Our women in the north, if the Jurchens like it, they can insult them at will! We suffer today, and we can become a team tomorrow. Only a strong army can save relatives in the north! Don’t you think so?” Zhao Chen said.

Most of the soldiers of these imperial guards came from Fuzhou area, which has already been occupied by Jurchen. It can be said that their relatives are now under the rule of Jurchen! Hearing Zhao Chen's words, those soldiers couldn't help but nodded!

"Drink water! I still want to tell you that the edge of a sword comes from being sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I want to train you into the sharpest sword in my hand, so that I can overcome all thorns and thorns, regain Hebei and Hedong, and recover Jiangnan and Liangzhou. Huai, take back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, fight to the extreme north, let you follow me forever, and be admired by all ages! As soon as this sword is drawn, any enemy will submit. If you don't submit, you will only die! In this sword In front of you, the Jurchens are vulnerable, and King Kang is also vulnerable. No one is your opponent! You are the object of admiration by hundreds of millions of people. No matter you are in Hanzhong, the Central Plains or other places, the people will see you You can only look up! The literati can't wait to write all your achievements on paper and pass them on to future generations! Are you willing to do such a great achievement through the ages?" Zhao Chen said.

"I am willing!" The soldier who spoke to Zhao Chen first said excitedly.

"Yes!" The soldiers below said one after another.

"Very good! I am with you now, and I will be with you on the battlefield from now on! In the military song of the Qin people, it is said that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe as your son! I will be with you all the time! You I will also bear the pain I have suffered! If you enjoy glory in the future, I will enjoy it with you!" Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, we will never let you down!" said the soldier who spoke earlier.

"Very good! The food is here, let's eat together!" Zhao Chen laughed.

The food in the army is very poor, but Zhao Chen eats with these soldiers with gusto! All these moved those ordinary soldiers! In ancient China, there were not many generals who could "eat with the same table and sleep with the soldiers", let alone the emperor?

After eating, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and the generals worked together to compile the infantry drills!

From June 10th to July 10th, Zhao Chen stayed here for a full month!

On the afternoon of July 10th, Li Gang and Wang Shu came together. They saw Zhao Chen training the spear array with the soldiers here! Zhao Chen was among a group of soldiers, shirtless, and followed the soldiers to thrust out their spears and take them back together. Both of them stayed here!
