Chapter 146: Soldier Training 2

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

He didn't care, and didn't care!

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

Zhao Chen looked inside and saw that the bathtub was extremely gorgeous, with petals and other things inside. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you need such trouble? Go and get a basin of cold water!"

Lin Bao was stunned. He did not dare to violate Zhao Chen's orders and brought a basin of cold water for Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen picked up the cold water and poured it on his head. It suddenly felt cool. He couldn't help but laugh!

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

"I will stay in the army from now on, and I am also a soldier! I will do whatever the soldiers do! I will still enjoy it when I come to the military camp. Is this still 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 want to do! Since this is the case, don't treat me in the same way as ordinary emperors! I hate slanderous ministers and like Zhengchen! Don't think about how to please me in the future. You should think about how to make me more motivated and how to realize my ambitions as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao and said coldly.

"I understand!" Lin Bao said hurriedly.

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

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

"And... the queen is very lonely and bored in the palace. Go and find a few 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 status in Zhao Chen's heart, and he secretly vowed that he would please Zhe Yueru! He left the military camp and went to handle Zhao Chen's affairs, not to mention this.

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei stayed in the military camp. Yue Fei had already asked him to prepare the meal, and the two of them were having dinner together.

"Your Majesty set an example today and participated in the training. I will admire you!" Yue Fei said.

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

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

"That's good!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

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

Yue Fei was stunned and said, "It's just that the soldiers are training their martial arts! Only when the martial arts are high can they repel the enemy on the battlefield!"

Zhao Chen frowned and said, "It's just not possible to exercise martial arts!"

Yue Fei said: "Train some formations occasionally!"

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the formation is not possible!"

In ancient China, wars were focused on "arrangement of troops and formations". In ancient generals and emperors invented various formations! Especially in the Song Dynasty, this "formula" was truly accomplished! Before the generals of the Song Dynasty fought, the emperor usually issued formation maps in the court, and then the general did it according to the formation map! These formation maps were varied, including the Eight Trigrams, the Mandarin Duck Formation, the One-character Long Snake Formation, the Two Dragons Playing Water Formation, etc.! Zhao Chen really didn't know how much of this formation was! But he understood one thing, whether it was the Jurchens or the Mongols, they did not have such many formations at all, but they were invincible! People were just strategic and brave. They rushed forward in wartime, and they all tried their best. The "formula" 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, and Yue Fei agreed and said, "Weichen also thinks this formation is a bit absurd! When the real war is in progress, the enemy suddenly rushed up, so how can we have time to arrange troops? On the battlefield, we should adapt to the situation, attack the weak with strong, lure the enemy with weak, attack from all sides, etc., but using the formation may not necessarily lead to victory!"

Historically, Zong Ze's evaluation of Yue Fei was that he was not good at formations and was good at "field battles". The so-called field battles are a 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, called "The formation is then fought later. The common military strategy and the wonderful use of the magic are in one mind." Zong Ze wanted to teach Yue Fei more than a dozen invincible "former maps" he had collected to Yue Fei, but Yue Fei did not accept it! Later, Yue Fei did not use those formation maps to fight, but instead was the god of war in this era! People like Han Shizhong, Wu Jie and others rarely acted according to formation maps, and they were adapting to the situation and confronting the enemy. They attached more importance to strategy rather than formation maps!

Zhao Chen said: "It seems that we need to think about how to train troops! We will first practice martial arts tomorrow morning, and we will still stand at noon, and we will still be martial arts in the afternoon! Regarding other things, I will think about it again!"

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty, standing is probably useless? There is no need for soldiers to stand on the real battlefield!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "On the real battlefield, there is naturally no need to stand all the time! However, standing can exercise the soldiers' physical strength and the soldiers' will! They can stand in the scorching sun for a few hours, and when they arrive on the battlefield, they can lie in the ice and snow for a few hours. Do you think this is the case?"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "So that's it! I understand! Your Majesty's skills in training military affairs are extremely admired!"

Zhao Chen said: "I have more ways to train troops! I will let you see them one by one in the future!"

At night, Zhao Chen continued to go deep into the army and talked to the soldiers, not to mention this.

*******

When it was the next morning, Zhao Chen trained with the soldiers!

In the morning, it is martial arts training, and many soldiers are holding spears and stabbing them straight there! Some soldiers are holding long swords and training there! The martial arts training of each soldier is different!

After seeing it, Zhao Chen frowned secretly. In later generations, the soldiers in the army all acted in a unified manner, with unified military fists and unified bayonets, and here they were trained separately!

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

I still stood at noon, and this time I trained for one hour!

The soldiers felt a huge shame yesterday, so today they all secretly vowed to stand for enough time! But some soldiers were exhausted and still fainted on the ground! In the end, less than half of them could persevere, but this time Zhao Chen did not scold them again!

The afternoon is still martial arts training!

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

Zhao Chen said: "It's not possible for us to train like this! I want to discuss it with you and write a book on military training!"

The following generals were stunned, and one of them said: "The Book of Military Training? What Book of Military Training?"

Zhao Chen said: "The so-called book of military training is a book about how to train soldiers better! We Han people have many military tactics, but these military tactics are all methods of using military tactics, but there is no method of training! Since ancient times, military training has been without systemic and standardized! I have decided to compile a systemic and standardized training tactics!"

Yue Fei said in surprise: "What does it mean to have a system and standardize?"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "With a system and a standard, we train according to the established standards! We will set him what to do in the morning, what to do in the afternoon, what to do in the afternoon, what to do in the evening! Practice standing, how to stand, practice martial arts, and every move, we will set him down! I have thought about it, the name of this book of training is the infantry exercise! From today on, we will write this infantry exercise while practicing soldiers!"

Infantry Wars were originally the normative method for the Germans to train soldiers! Since the 17th century, the German army gradually became the strongest army in the world, and this infantry wars were of great contribution! After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese introduced the German training methods, and they also wrote the infantry wars. After that, Japan's military strength continued to increase, so it was comparable to Russia, the great power at that time, and defeated Russia in the Northeast! After that, the Japanese army entered China, and 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 later countries such as Germany and Japan and write a standardized training method, so that he can 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 today! In addition to standing and martial arts, we also need running training and queue training! Let's talk about this running first today and queue!" Zhao Chen said.

"Running?" Yue Fei was stunned again!

He can still accept queue training, but in fact, those formation training includes queue training! However, running training is rare in the ancient Chinese army!

"Running and standing have similar functions. On the one hand, it is to train physical strength, on the other hand, it is to train will! The queue is to follow suit training! And during the battle, three, five or ten people form a team to move forward together and kill the enemy together, which is far better than fighting on the battlefield by individuals, isn't it?" Zhao Chen said.

"Not bad!" Yue Fei nodded!

"Running training also requires formation. The army is the army. Only formation can discipline be determined! Without formation, there is no discipline! When running, you should step on your left foot, right foot, etc., all of which must be standardized!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! These also need standardization?" Yue Fei was incredible.

"It's just that there is a need for standardization during training!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

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

Zhao Chen had already taken out the paper. He wrote a line of words "Infantry Practice" on the paper, and then wrote various training methods below! It includes queue training, running training, endurance training, martial arts training, etc.!

Yue Fei and the generals were discussing there, and Zhao Chen was remembering there!

It was not until midnight that they dispersed one after another!

Today, Zhao Chen has just compiled this infantry exercises, and even the framework has not been written yet! In the future, he will discuss, think carefully, and compile this book well! He will combine some of the training methods he knows in the future with the training methods of this era, which is in line with the actual situation of this era and has its advanced nature!

*******

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

Zhao Chen and the soldiers ran to the west together, and 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 no longer get up!

They had no such training before. How could they bear it when they traveled back and forth for ten kilometers?

At noon, they stood in the sun, and many soldiers were unable to stand firmly and fell down one after another! Just as they watched Zhao Chen still standing there, they gritted their teeth and stood up again and continued 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 turned into spears!

The soldiers lined up in rows, small groups, and at the command, the soldiers in front stabbed the spears in their hands hard towards the front! When they finished stabbing, the soldiers behind them stabbed the spears out from the gaps in the bodies of the soldiers in front!

"Thorn! Thorn! Thorn! Thorn!" For a moment, such a sound was everywhere!

The soldiers can't rest until the sun sets!

Many soldiers were so tired that they couldn't walk anymore, so they simply lay on the training ground! They were so tired that they didn't go to eat!

A soldier was lying there, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Are you too tired? Do you want to drink some water? I have already come to get the water!"

The soldier was shocked, and he suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Chen standing in front of him. He was shocked and stood up in a hurry and said, "The villain does not know that His Majesty is coming, and he deserves to die for death!"

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

The two of them talked, and the soldiers lying beside them were awakened one after another. At this moment, the soldiers also got up one after another, a little at a loss!

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

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

"Did you think it's hard for these two days of training?" Zhao Chen said.

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

Zhao Chen looked at the soldiers around him again and said, "You can tell me, is it hard or not?"

The soldiers around him nodded, saying the word "bitter"!

"We are very hard, but do you know how hard our relatives in the north are? They are now living a life worse than pigs and dogs under the rule of the Jurchens. They work for the Jurchens from morning to night every day. It is difficult to have a full meal! If the Jurchens have any dissatisfaction, they will kill them at will! If our women in the north like Jurchens, they can rape and insult them at will! We suffer today and become a strong army in the future and rescue their relatives in the north! Do you think so?" Zhao Chen said.

Most of these soldiers of the imperial guards came from the Prefecture area, which had long been occupied by the Jurchens. It can be said that their relatives are now under the rule of the Jurchens! Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the soldiers couldn't help but nod!

"Everyone drinks water! I will tell you that the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. I want to train you into the sharpest sword in my hand, overcome all obstacles for me, recover Hebei, Hedong, Jiangnan, Lianghuai, and Yanyun's sixteen states, and fight to the extreme north, so that you can follow me and be admired by all ages! As long as this sword is released, any enemy will surrender. If you do not surrender, there is only a dead end! In front of this sword, the Jurchens are vulnerable, and King Kang is vulnerable, and no one is your opponent! You are the objects of respect for millions of people. Whether you go to Hanzhong, Central Plains, or other places, the people can only look up to you when they see you! Literary and poets wish they could write all your achievements on paper and spread to future generations! Do you want to do such an eternal great cause with me?" Zhao Chen said.

"I'm willing!" The soldier who first talked to Zhao Chen said excitedly.

"I'm willing!" the soldiers below said one after another.

"Very good! I am with you now, and I am with you on the battlefield in the future! The Qin people's military songs say that Wuyi is with you, and I am with you! I am with you all the time! I will bear the suffering you 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 before.

"Very good! The food is coming, let's have a meal together!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

The food in the army was extremely poor, but Zhao Chen ate with these soldiers with relish! These touched those ordinary soldiers! In ancient China, there were not many generals who could "eat the same meal as the soldiers and sleep with them", let alone the emperor?

After dinner, Zhao Chen and Yue Fei and the generals wrote the infantry exercises together!

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