Chapter 148

"What do you think of the infantry exercises we wrote?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is really a god! We can't believe that these are written by Your Majesty!" Li Gang then noticed that Zhao Chen came in and looked up and said.

"This is not written by me alone, it is written by me and Yue Fei and the others!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"These are all the ideas of Your Majesty. I dare not take credit for you!" Yue Fei stood behind Zhao Chen and hurriedly said.

"The sea embraces all rivers, and it is great to have tolerance! You two can see what else needs to be supplemented or changed in this infantry exercise book?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, your military training method is different from that of famous generals of all dynasties. I don't know if the soldiers trained in this way are really elite?" Li Gang thought for a while and said.

This is the place he doubts the most now. In the past, military training mainly focused on practicing martial arts and occasionally practicing formations. Zhao Chen added many useful and useless places! Including running, formation training, mountain training, assault training, etc., he really didn't know if these were really useful!

"You don't have to doubt this! When the war comes, you will naturally see its effect!" Zhao Chen smiled and said.

These are the training methods that will be trained thousands of years later, and are countless times more advanced than the training methods of this era! Especially the standardization and systematic concepts contained in it are far more than this era! The Germans trained real professional soldiers through this method, and the Japanese rely on this method to transform from a weak army into a strong army! Later, all countries used this method, so naturally they had their own uniqueness! When the Germans founded this method, it was already the end of the cold weapons era, and by the Japanese it was the hot weapons era, but no matter what, this method itself was absolutely wrong! In view of the reality of the cold weapons era, it needed to make many changes, which is why Zhao Chen and Yue Fei and others studied together. Zhao Chen had many places to ask Yue Fei and others for advice!

"Your Majesty's training method is better than all famous generals in ancient and modern times! In Yue's opinion, although it only took one month, the imperial guards had undergone earth-shaking changes! Whether the soldiers' physical condition or morale was far better than before! Don't worry, the two adults, this method is absolutely feasible!" Yue Fei said.

Yue Fei was the number one general in the Song Dynasty, but unfortunately he has no fame now! He has a unique vision and can see the advancedness of this training method! However, Li Gang is still skeptical about what he said!

"I think Your Majesty's training method is feasible! When we just arrived at the Imperial Army that day, the Imperial Army was not what we are now! The Imperial Army was extremely lazy at that time, and it was far from the Jingyuan Army! It's only one month now, and I think this army is no longer under the Jingyuan Army!" Wang Shu said.

"Take it seriously?" Li Gang said in disbelief.

"This is natural!" Wang Shu said with a smile.

Wang Shu was already shocked and admired by Zhao Chen! He could not imagine how a prince who came out of the palace and an emperor who had never dealt with the army could come up with these geniuses in training methods! Naturally, he didn't know that Zhao Chen came from later generations, and these were just summaries of experience in later generations! If Zhao Chen was not the emperor, relying solely on this set of training methods would be enough to make him famous for all ages!

"Without the training method, it is difficult to train a strong army without good generals and guidance! The imperial guards used to be the Zhe family army. The military discipline, morale and morale were really too bad, so I want to stay here, and I have to accompany this army to change! With me, this army can become the invincible army I want more quickly! Therefore, I have to stay here for a long time! The major affairs in the court will be left to you for the time being. In addition, I have one more thing for you to do!" Zhao Chen said.

"I don't know what's going on?" Li Gang said.

"You find some literati and scholars to come and let them join the imperial guards!" Zhao Chen said.

"Ah! Your Majesty, what do scholars do in the army? Is it for advice?" Li Gang said in surprise.

"You have also read the infantry Scripture. It is written later that the soldiers must know why they fight and who they fight for. With such education, the army will never become a private army. Soldiers will only be loyal to me and the Song Dynasty. They will no longer have to worry about military rebellion in the future! However, the generals lack knowledge, and it is obviously not enough for them to do these things. Therefore, I want to recruit some literati scholars to do these things! Once these literati scholars enter the army, they are also soldiers, and their status is equivalent to generals, but they are not allowed to command the army at will. They are only responsible for educating soldiers!" Zhao Chen said.

These literati scholars are equivalent to the "political commissars" of later generations, and are specifically responsible for ideological education! During wars, they also play a role in boosting morale! In some aspects, they are somewhat similar to the ancient military supervisors, but military supervisors are monitoring senior officials, while they go deep into the army and stay with the soldiers on weekdays. Their role is only to conduct political and ideological education, and it is impossible to overstep the authority of the army at any time!

"Your Majesty can come up with such a trick to control the army, and I admire you! Your Majesty, I think in addition to the imperial guards, the Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army can also be equipped with some literati and scholars to do these things specifically to educate those ordinary soldiers!" Wang Shu said.

Wang Shu admired Zhao Chen's move to the extreme! He felt that this was the best way for the monarch to control the army, and he would educate the emperor every day. Even if the general wanted to rebel, the soldiers would not rebel with the general! He still did not understand the deep meaning of Zhao Chen's implementation of this system, mainly to enhance the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army, rather than just to prevent the army from rebelling!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do this! After we return to Hanzhong, we will immediately recruit a group of literati scholars to join the army!" Li Gang said.

"Very good! But this set of training methods is now only implemented in the imperial guards! If it is possible to implement it in other troops in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

That night, Li Gang and Wang Shu stayed in the military camp, and they discussed political affairs with Zhao Chen! Now the party of Zhe Keqiu has been killed, but many local officials in Hanzhong, Sichuan, Guanxi and Guanxi were relied on bribes to get to power. Li Gang asked if he wanted to take down these officials and when he would take down these officials!

Zhao Chen thought for a while and said, "The overall situation has just stabilized now, so there should not be too many changes! We don't touch the officials of the local prefectures, but you all stare at them well for me! After half a year, the situation will stabilize. If someone is corrupt and rebellious, then I will never show mercy! If someone has no bad record in the past six months, then even if they rely on bribes to be officials, I can forgive them!"

Li Gang said: "Your Majesty is wise! That's how it should be!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said, "I have been training for a day and I am so tired! If there is nothing else, let's fall asleep now!"

Everyone was resting in the military camp that night. The next morning, Zhao Chen still trained with the soldiers, while Li Gang, Wang Shu and others returned to Hanzhong to continue to deal with political affairs in the world!

"Your Majesty, you don't care about political affairs and give them all the political affairs to both of them. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this?" Yue Fei said in confusion.

"Of course I can't give them all political affairs to do! Political affairs must be held in my own hands! I have an idea in my mind, I will tell you in a few days! In the chaotic times, the army is the most important! I'd better control the army first!" Zhao Chen shook his head and said.

*******

In the middle of the night on July 15, a harsh whistle suddenly came from outside the military camp!

Hearing the whistle, the soldiers in the military camp were awakened one after another, and countless soldiers hurriedly put on their clothes and ran outside!

According to the provisions of the Infantry Trading Code, once soldiers get the signal of emergency assembly, they must assemble within half a quarter of an hour! The soldiers must be dressed neatly and the troops must be lined up neatly!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei had already arrived outside. Under the moonlight, they stood there waiting for the soldiers to arrive!

There was a rapid running sound around me, and countless soldiers came to their troops, and the generals of the troops ordered the soldiers to be arranged neatly!

"It's been half a quarter of an hour!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, our training is still not enough! There are still no one coming!" Yue Fei said.

"It's already very good. Most of the soldiers have arrived! A few soldiers are running towards here now! Give them another half a quarter of an hour! Today is the first time. If you train a few more times in the future, they will naturally slowly meet the standards!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" Yue Fei nodded!

After a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers were finally here!

The training ground was quiet, and no one whispered, which was completely different from when Zhao Chen arrived that day! Zhao Chen was slightly satisfied!

"Today we are conducting urgent marching training, we are heading towards the Qinling Mountains! There are a total of about 300 miles, and we must arrive within three days! I will walk forward with you!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

At that moment, Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were heading towards the north. Behind them, each army was also heading towards the north under the leadership of each general!

The night is hazy and the soldiers march very fast!

An hour later, they had passed by the city gate of Hanzhong. The sky was still extremely dark at this moment! They continued to move forward!

On the first day, the soldiers were able to persevere and they were resting in the wild at night!

By the second day, soldiers were already behind!

Zhao Chen and Yue Fei were originally in front of the army, but at this moment they came to the back of the army. Seeing a soldier sweating and almost unable to walk, Zhao Chen hurried to his side and said, "How are you?"

The soldier saw that it was Zhao Chen, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do!"

Zhao Chen took out his skin and said, "Looking at your sweaty look, let's drink some water first!"

After drinking the water, the soldier gritted his teeth and continued to move forward!

Zhao Chen saw someone spraining his ankle over there and limped forward. At that moment, Zhao Chen held the soldier and led the soldier forward together!

"Your Majesty, the villain is really dragging down Your Majesty!" The soldier was anxious and grateful in his heart, and he couldn't help crying.

"A man is a real man, he will shed blood, sweat and not cry! He will never do this again in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the villain is loyal to you and is willing to go through fire and water for you!" The soldier swallowed even more.

"Very good! You perform well in training in the future and never hold back!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" the soldier nodded while gritting his teeth.

"What's your name?" Zhao Chen asked again.

"The villain Xu Qing was originally from Hedong, but later he followed General Yue to Hanzhong! But the villain did not have much ability, so he is still an ordinary soldier now!" he said.

Yue Fei first brought thousands of rebel soldiers to Hanzhong. Later, the Zhe Family Army became an imperial guard. Many officers of the Zhe Family Army were missing. Yue Fei arranged many rebel soldiers into officers, but some of them still existed as ordinary soldiers!

"Xu Qing! Your name is Xu Qing?" Zhao Chen was stunned. This person was one of the main generals of the Yue Family Army in history. He did not expect that he was just a soldier now!

"Yes, the villain's name is Xu Qing!" Xu Qing nodded.

"I believe that you will definitely be able to achieve something in the future and make achievements!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, your majesty, you won't let Your Majesty down!" Xu Qing said.

Zhao Chen nodded, and he just helped Xu Qing forward like this! Xu Qing wanted to break free from Zhao Chen several times, but he felt that he had dragged Zhao Chen down, but Zhao Chen did not agree and still led him forward!

The more he reached the end, the more moved Xu Qing was. He held back his tears and refused to let himself cry again!

Zhao Chen was helping those soldiers who were left behind, so the rest of the army naturally did not dare to slack off. They either supported those soldiers who were left behind or carried those soldiers on their backs. In short, they did not let others fall behind, so that everyone could follow the army!

"Three days and three hundred miles are unimaginable in the past! Now only by following His Majesty can you do such a thing!" Yue Fei said secretly.
