Chapter 146 - Military Training 2

Zhao Chen had already returned to Yue Fei's room. At this moment, Zhao Chen's body was completely dried up and his clothes were dirty and smelly!

He didn't mind, nor did he care!

Lin Bao came over with Zhao Chen in the morning. At this moment, Lin Bao had already prepared a bath basin and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you take a bath first?"

Zhao Chen looked inside, and saw that the bathtub was extremely gorgeous, with flower petals and other various things inside. He could not help but smile, and said: "Is there really a need to go through so much trouble? Go and get a basin of cold water! "

Lin Bao was startled. He did not dare to disobey Zhao Chen's orders, so he gave Zhao Chen a basin of cold water.

"Your Majesty, this … This … Is it something that only soldiers in the military would do? " Lin Bao opened his mouth and said.

"From now on, I will be in the army, and I am also a soldier! I will do what the soldiers do! To even come to the army camp to enjoy, is that even right? " Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Yes!" This humble subject understands! " Lin Bao Dao.

"You've been following me for a long time! After Zhe Keqiu died, you probably understand what kind of person I am and what kind of thing I want to do! If that's the case, then don't treat me like you treat an emperor! I loathe the greedy official, I like the dim-witted official! "Don't think about how you can please me in the future. You should think about how you can make me improve. How you can make me achieve my goals in the future. Do you understand?" Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao, and said coldly.

"This humble subject understands!" Lin Bao hurriedly said.

"Very good! If you stay by my side, it will be beneficial to me, so I naturally won't treat you unfairly! If you only know how to curry favor with me, then I won't be polite to you! Go back to the Imperial Palace now. When Li Gang and Wang Shu come tomorrow morning, tell them that we will stay in the Southern Zheng's camp and let them take care of all the political matters there. We will naturally find time to deal with it! " Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" This humble subject will do it right away! " Lin Bao Dao.

"Also... In the palace, the empress is very lonely and bored, go find a few women to accompany her! " Zhao Chen thought about it and said.

"Yes sir!" Lin Bao nodded.

He immediately understood that Zheyue Ru still had a certain position in Zhao Chen's heart, and he silently swore to himself that he would still please Zheyue Ru! After that, he left the base to take care of Zhao Chen's matters, not mentioning anything else.

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei stayed in the army camp. Yue Fei had already ordered people to prepare food for them.

"Your Majesty has set an example today and is participating in the training. This general admires you!" Yue Fei said.

"From now on, I will be like this every day! You too, have to train with us! " Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Even if His Majesty didn't say anything, if His Majesty didn't come, I would still train with the soldiers! " Yue Fei said.

"That's good!" Zhao Chen laughed.

After a while, Zhao Chen asked: "How do you train normally?"

Yue Fei was startled, and said: "It's nothing more than letting the soldiers train their martial arts! Only with high martial arts skills can the enemies be repelled on the battlefield! "

Zhao Chen frowned, and said: "Just training martial arts, I'm afraid that won't do!"

Yue Fei said: "I will occasionally train some arrays!"

Zhao Chen shook his head, and said: "I'm afraid even formations cannot do it!"

In ancient China, war was about "arrangement of troops and formations". The generals and emperors of ancient times had invented all kinds of formations! Especially in the Song Dynasty, this "formation" was truly mastered! Before the Song Dynasty generals fight, the Emperor would usually send out the array diagram and the General would then follow the array diagram to do it. These array diagrams were varied. There were the Eight Trigrams Formation, the Lovers Yang Formation, the Serpentine Formation, the Two Dragons Drinking Water Formation, and so on! Just how many uses does this array have, Zhao Chen really did not know! But he understood one thing, whether it was the Nvzhen or the Mongols, they did not have a lot of array formations, but they were invincible! The Song people's' formation 'was completely useless in front of these outsiders!

Historically, Zong Ze's evaluation of Yue Fei was not good at formations, but was good at "field battles", which were known as field battles, was to not set up arrays and rush up together to do battle! In the eyes of a traditional general like Zong Ze, such a field battle was unacceptable! And what Yue Fei had said in response to Zong Ze was also well-known throughout history, it was "The formation before the battle, the common way of military strategy and tactics, the ingenuity of using it, the intent to do"! Zong Ze wanted to pass over a dozen unrivalled "formation diagrams" to Yue Fei, but Yue Fei did not accept it! Later, Yue Fei did not use those array diagrams for battle. For example, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and the rest, they rarely acted according to the array and would only fight with the enemy whenever they needed to, so they paid more attention to strategy and not array!

Zhao Chen said: "Looks like we need to think of a way to train our troops! Tomorrow morning, we'll train our martial arts first. At noon, we'll still stand. In the afternoon, we'll still practice martial arts! Let me think of something else! "

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

Zhao Chen laughed: "On the true battlefield, there is naturally no need to stand forever! However, standing could train a soldier's physical strength and temper a soldier's will! They can stand under the scorching sun for a few hours and arrive at the battlefield so that they can ambush in the snow and ice for a few hours, don't you think so? "

Yue Fei nodded, and said: "So that's how it is! This humble subject understands! Your Majesty's military training, this humble subject is truly impressed! "

Zhao Chen said: I still have more ways to train my soldiers! I'll let you see everything in the future! "

When night fell, Zhao Chen continued to delve deeper into the army and chat with the soldiers.

In the morning of the second day, Zhao Chen trained with the soldiers.

It was martial arts training in the morning, and many soldiers were holding long spears and thrusting straight at them! There were also some soldiers who were training there with long sabers! Each soldier's training skills were all different!

Zhao Chen secretly frowned when he saw this. In the later generations of the army, all the soldiers moved together. There was a uniform set of military punches, a unified set of bayonets, and in this case, individual training!

As he trained with the soldiers, he thought of ways to improve them!

He was still standing at noon. This time, he had to train for a total of two hours!

The soldiers felt humiliated yesterday, so they swore to stand for a long time today! However, some of the soldiers were too weak to hold on and they fell to the ground. In the end, less than half of them were able to hold on, but this time Zhao Chen did not scold them!

The afternoon was still martial arts training!

At dusk, after dinner, Zhao Chen called Yue Fei along with the few generals of the Imperial Guard together.

Zhao Chen said: "We cannot do this kind of training! I want to discuss it with you guys and write a military training book! "

The officers below were all stunned. One of them said, "A book on military training? What book about military training? "

Zhao Chen said: "The so-called military training manual is a book on how to make soldiers better! We Han Chinese have many ways of fighting, but these ways of fighting are all military methods, there is no such thing as military training! From ancient times until now, there had never been a system or standard for training soldiers! "I have decided to create a systematic and standard military training method!"

Yue Fei was surprised: "What do you mean by there is a system, and there is a rules?"

Zhao Chen laughed and said: "Having a system and rules is following the set standards to train! What to do in the morning, what to do at noon, what to do in the afternoon, and what to do in the evening, we'll fix it for you! Practice standing up, how should we stand up, practice martial arts, move after move, we will decide for it! I have thought it through, the name of this book is infantry exercise code! From today onwards, we will train our troops as we prepare the infantry exercise code! "

The infantry exercise code was originally a standard method for Germans to train their soldiers! From the 17th century onwards, the German army gradually became the strongest army in the world. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese introduced the military training methods of the Germans, and they also wrote the infantry exercise code. After that, the Japanese's military strength was constantly increasing, to the point that they could defeat Russia in the northeast. After the Japanese army entered China, their individual qualities were indeed extraordinary, surpassing the Chinese army at that time. Thus, in a short period of time, they occupied many of China's territory!

For an army, training soldiers was very important! In Zhao Chen's opinion, he should learn from his future generations in Germany and Japan to create a standard military training method. Only then would he be able to cultivate a strong army.

"Good!" I agree with your majesty! " Yue Fei said.

Yue Fei had already nodded his head in agreement, and the other generals all nodded their heads in agreement!

"I've thought a lot today! In addition to standing and martial arts, we also need to have running training, and also need to have training in formation! Let's talk about the runners and the queues first! " Zhao Chen said.

"Running?" Yue Fei was stunned again!

He could still accept the formation training, but that also included the formation training! However, running training, in ancient China's military rarely had such training methods!

"Running and standing have similar uses. On one hand, it's training your physical strength. On the other, it's training your willpower! The queues were for submissive training! Furthermore, during battle, if three, five or ten people were to form a team and march forward together to kill the enemy, then that would be far better than a single person fighting on the battlefield, don't you think so? " Zhao Chen said.

"That's right!" Yue Fei nodded!

"The running training requires a team, the army is the army, only a team can determine the rules!" Without formation, there would be no discipline! When running, we should step on the left foot, right foot and so on. Zhao Chen said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You even need to standardize these as well? " Yue Fei was in disbelief.

"It's just that you need to be proper when training!" Zhao Chen laughed.

It was already late in the night but Zhao Chen was still discussing it with them!

Zhao Chen had already taken out the paper and wrote a line of words "infantry exercise code" on it. Including the formation training, running training, endurance training, martial arts training and so on!

Yue Fei and the generals were discussing, while Zhao Chen memorized everything!

It wasn't until it was time for them to leave that they began to disperse!

Today, Zhao Chen had just finished writing the infantry exercise code, and he hadn't even finished writing the outline yet! In the coming period of time, he would have to discuss, ponder, and compile this book! He wanted to combine the military training methods that he knew of in the future with the military training methods of this era. It would not only fit the actual situation of this era, but also have its own advanced characteristics!

The next day, in the morning, the training program went from martial arts to running!

Zhao Chen and the soldiers ran westward for a good five kilometers before stopping. Then, they returned back to the army.

After entering the military, most of the soldiers were lying on the ground, unable to get up!

They had never trained like this before. How could they withstand a ten kilometer round trip?

At noon, when the soldiers were standing under the sun, many of them were unable to stand properly and fell to the ground. When they saw that Zhao Chen was still standing there, they clenched their teeth and stood up, continuing to stand together with Zhao Chen!

In the afternoon, he practiced martial arts. According to Zhao Chen's suggestion, the weapons in everyone's hands became spears!

The soldiers lined up in a row. As soon as they heard the command, the soldiers in front of them thrust their spears forward! After they finished stabbing, a row of soldiers behind them thrust their spears through the gaps between the bodies of the soldiers in the front!

"Thrust!" Collect! Stab! "Collect!" For a time, such voices were everywhere!

The soldiers could not rest until the sun had set.

Many of the soldiers were too tired to move, so they decided to just lie down on the training field! They were too tired to eat!

A soldier was lying down when a voice suddenly came from the side, "Are you tired? Would you like some water? I have already brought water! "

The soldier shuddered and then suddenly opened his eyes. Zhao Chen was standing in front of him, and he was shocked beyond words. He hurriedly stood up and said: "I did not know that His Majesty had come, so I deserve a thousand deaths!"

Zhao Chen laughed: Sit down and speak! What crime have you committed? If you're tired from your training, it's normal to lie here for a while! "

As the two of them spoke, the soldiers lying beside them were jolted awake. At this moment, the soldiers had also stood up and were at a loss as to what to do.

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

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The soldier from before said.

"Are you all talking about the hardships of the past two days of training?" Zhao Chen said.

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

Zhao Chen then looked at the surrounding soldiers, and said: "Tell me, is it hard?"

The surrounding soldiers all nodded their heads, their mouths were filled with the word "bitter"!

"We are suffering, but do you know how bitter our families in the north are? Right now, they were under the rule of the Nvzhen, living a life worse than pigs and dogs. They worked for the Nvzhen from morning to night, and it was hard for them to even eat a full meal! If Nvzhen had any dissatisfaction, he would casually kill them! If Nvzhen likes our women in the north, you can commit adultery and humiliate them! We will suffer today, and only then will we become a strong army, and only then will we be able to save our loved ones in the north! Don't you think so? " Zhao Chen said.

The majority of these soldiers came from the prefectural region, which had long since been occupied by the female experts. It could be said that their families were now under their female experts' rule! Hearing Zhao Chen's words, all the soldiers could not help but nod their heads!

"Everyone drink water! We also want to tell you that the tip of the treasured sword has been sharpened, and the plum blossom fragrance has been brought out from the bitter cold. We want to turn you all into the sharpest treasured sword in our hands, and we will help you cut through the thorns and thorns, and take back Hebei, Hedong, Jiangnan, bihuai, and even the Yan Yun Sixteen Prefectures. Once this sword was drawn, any enemy would have to submit to it. If they did not, only death awaited them! In front of this treasured sword, Nvzhen is weak, and Emperor Kang is weak, no one is your opponent! You are the object of respect for the millions of citizens, whether you are in the Middle Han Area, in the Central Plains or elsewhere, the citizens will only look up to you! Scholar Mo would have liked nothing more than to write down all your achievements on paper and pass them on to the future generations! Would you be willing to do such a great undertaking with me? " Zhao Chen said.

"We are willing!" The soldier who spoke with Zhao Chen the first time was extremely excited.

"Yes!" The soldiers below said in unison.

"Very good! I am with you right now, and I will be with you on the battlefield from now on! The military song of the Qin people said that Qiyue Wuyi was wearing the same robe as Zi! I am with you all the time! I will bear the hardships you've suffered as well! If you enjoy the glory in the future, I will enjoy it with you! " Zhao Chen said again.

"Your Majesty, we will never disappoint you!" The soldier who spoke earlier said.

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

The food in the army was terrible, but Zhao Chen was enjoying his meal with the soldiers! All of this moved the ordinary soldiers! In ancient China, there weren't many generals who could sleep and eat with soldiers, let alone the emperor.

After the meal, Zhao Chen worked with Yue Fei and the other generals to prepare the infantry exercise code!

From the tenth of June to the tenth of July, Zhao Chen stayed here for an entire month!

On the afternoon of the tenth of July, Li Gang and Wang Shu arrived together. They saw that Zhao Chen was training spear array with the soldiers! Zhao Chen stood amongst a group of soldiers, bare-chested and taking back his spear along with the soldiers, the two of them simply stood there!
