367 Collection
So, some soldiers in the Beijing camp began to get angry, stamped their feet to keep warm, or simply squatted down and curled up, while complaining to their comrades beside them.
"What's going on? If you have any trouble with these officials, you will forget to just say that you can disband?"
"That's right, this cold day, let's drink the cold wind here!"
“…”
At this time, some soldiers in the Beijing camp found that there were some people who were not in the same place. They turned to look at the school site and turned the spot in front of the stage, and the topic changed.
"Hehe, look, those people are still standing still!"
"What are you pretending, you will move after a while, watch!"
"If I were one of them, I wouldn't move!"
“…”
After a while, no one spoke or saw them stomping their feet. The discussions of the soldiers in the Beijing camp changed again, and even the soldiers who were closer shouted.
"Are you stupid? Those adults obviously can't come back in a short time, so why are they still standing so straight?"
"That's right, this cold day, I've been standing for a long time and I've been frozen to death. Don't be so serious, no one cares!"
“…”
In fact, these soldiers in the Beijing camp played a opposite role. Originally, some new soldiers also had the same idea as them and wanted to relax. But when they saw the soldiers in the Beijing camp, they actually inspired their arrogance. Look, we are different from the Beijing camp. We represent the emperor, and the elite formed by the emperor himself. Under the military order, can we still be the same as you?
In this way, the soldiers in the Beijing camp had already stood still and the noise became loud, but the new army soldiers still maintained their original standing posture. Many of them even had a hint of pride on their faces.
The situation on the school ground allows people on the second floor of a building in the distance to see it one by one. They don’t even need to use a telescope to see the approximate situation of the school ground.
By the window, Mangui's face turned a little red. Fortunately, he was bearded, not many people noticed this. However, the general teacher of the new army always smiled. He has been emphasizing the orders and prohibitions this month, which seems to be effective. Against the backdrop of his peers, it looks even more eye-catching.
After a while, Emperor Chongzhen sat in the room and asked with a smile: "How is it, is there any movement in the new army?"
When Mao Yuanyi heard this, he immediately turned around and walked a few steps to Emperor Chongzhen, responded with joy and respectfully: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen any movement yet!"
"Yes, then keep waiting." Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile when he heard this, and felt quite satisfied.
Or Man Gui was embarrassed to see it, so he turned around and walked back. He had always been loud, but his voice was much lowered: "The last general was incompetent in governing the army, please punish him!"
But Zu Dashou, who was next to him, knew that most of the Ming army would basically react like this temporarily arranged scene, including the Guanning army. This means that it is not that Man Gui is not trained enough, but that the new army is more prominent.
Emperor Chongzhen was not angry after hearing Man Gui's words, nor did he punish him. He just told him lightly: "At that time, General Qi was in charge of the army, even if it was rainy, he did not have a disbanding order and his troops remained motionless. That was the order to be enforced. But except for the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were few such troops. Manqing, this aspect must be strengthened!"
Mao Yuanyi's training was practiced according to Qi Jiguang's training method. However, compared with Qi Jiguang's training in the past, the new army even had more tricks. For example, the political commissars who were eunuchs would emphasize military discipline in their usual lectures, and even preach some small stories about the orders and prohibitions so that the new army soldiers would know. This kind of education was of some help, and Mao Yuanyi recognized this point.
However, he already knew that the emperor suddenly had such an arrangement this time. In fact, it was not to compare the soldiers of the new army and the soldiers of the Beijing camp, but to test the military discipline of the new army. It was to make a comparison between the soldiers of the new army and see that those people would persist for a longer time, so as to provide a reference for the selection of new army officers.
Time passed slowly, and an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the generals and officers were still missing. This made the soldiers of the Beijing camp very dissatisfied, and some even started to curse. They lost interest in teasing the new army soldiers, and their basic formations were gone. They often had a familiar group of people gathered together to keep warm and complain.
At the beginning, those low-level military officers at the general level would scold them, but later, they were the same, and many of them even hid in places that could block the cold wind.
Gradually, the new army soldiers could no longer stand, but they were still standing there, just talking.
"What's going on? I haven't come back for so long. Could it be that there is something to delay, or I think we have disbanded, right?"
"It's really possible, it's been an hour, right?"
“…”
These people who spoke did not include Cao Bianjiao. From the first day he came to the new army, he asked himself to be the first in everything he did. He came to the new army not for the treatment of the new army, but to surpass Wu Sangui, who was born in the general. He wanted to return the insult that day!
Therefore, when Brother Zhao, who was standing nearby, was silent when he shouted to him, he remained silent, still staring at the front of the general. This made Brother Zhao and the others silent, or they were used to being led by Cao Bianjiao. Whatever Cao Bianjiao did, they would do it.
Or the gathering time was too long, and the shadows of those adults could not be seen. More and more soldiers from the Beijing camp left their positions and walked towards the barracks around the schoolyard, hiding there to hide away from the wind. It was a good choice.
Now that most soldiers do this, they won’t believe what else can those adults come back? Didn’t they say that? There is a saying that doesn’t blame everyone!
In the end, almost only the new army soldiers were standing there on the huge school ground. However, some of the new army soldiers had already started to stomp their feet to keep warm. The soldiers in the Beijing camp were bored standing, and the topic changed to the current situation.
"A group of fools, how long has it been since this has passed? Those adults must have forgotten to explain!"
"Maybe the adults thought we would go back to the barracks ourselves, so they were too lazy to come and inform us of the disbandment."
"Everyone goes back to the barracks together. So what if those adults come back? Haha, stand there and blow the wind, keep blowing, and you guys will die of freezing!"
“…”
Or they saw that most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp had left the school ground and hid in the shelter. Or they had been standing for a long time and were hungry. Some new soldiers began to lose their position and began to turn their heads and talk, or they relaxed their bodies and no longer stood.
