The first fire

"Brother Han, I understand, so I entered the military camp. Should I have fun today?" Liu Chengliang came to Sichuan this time. When he was in Lin'an, he had a close relationship with Han Zhongyi. This time he came to Sichuan to join the army, and he was also named a general like Han Zhongyi.

"I'm going to report tomorrow. Do you still dare to go to have fun today? You'd better stay at home honestly." Han Zhongyi didn't dare to go out to fool around the day before entering the military camp. Before coming to Sichuan this time, his father carefully reminded him that since he had joined the army, he had to do something, at least not embarrass the Han family. Besides, Han Zhongwei was here to train troops this time, so he couldn't be in his hands as soon as he took office, so he would be very embarrassed.

"Why, are you afraid of Zhongwei?" Liu Chengliang said with a smile. Han Zhongwei is now a general. If what he expected is right, he is likely to be his boss. If he is protected by him in the future, what else can he worry about?

"I'm not afraid. Zhongwei will take office tomorrow. You don't want him to take action as soon as he takes office, right?" Han Zhongyi was not as good as Liu Wuliang. If it really fell into the hands of his third brother, he would believe that his third brother would definitely take action with him. He would not want such a thing to happen no matter what, otherwise he would really not be able to raise his head to be a human being in the future.

"How could Zhongwei take action against us?" Liu Wuliang said disapprovingly.

"Hehe, if you dare to enter the military camp tomorrow with alcohol and exhausted, I'm sure you will suffer at least twenty military sticks." Han Zhongyi smiled.

"No, Zhongwei and I are good friends, how could he humiliate me so much?" Liu Chengliang was really shocked. In his impression, Han Zhongwei has always been like a boy from the clerk, just like his younger brother, who respects him very much, so how could he embarrass himself?

"I'm not scaring you. Since you think you are Zhongwei's elder brother, you have to look like a eldest brother. If you don't care about his prestige, how can he give you face?" Han Zhongyi said cautiously. In fact, the twenty-stop military sticks may still be self-righteous. If Han Zhongwei gets angry, it is not impossible to be cut off directly.

"Or why don't you go out and call Zhang Ying and run together quickly?" Liu Chengliang was really worried. If Han Zhongwei didn't give him face, his head would have to be stuck in his pants in the future.

"Okay, if I were my third brother, I could have a three-match with him." Han Zhongyi finally felt relieved when he saw that Liu Chengliang had finally changed his mind.

"Zhongwei hasn't come back yet?" Liu Chengliang asked.

"This kid is in the mansion of the commander. The military camp he will go to tomorrow will depend on how he will behave with his father-in-law tonight." Han Zhongyi said with a smile.

Han Zhongwei was indeed trying his best to win the greatest interests for himself. He wanted to go to the border border with the Jin Kingdom, where he could not only contact the Jin soldiers directly, but also as a general, he was enough to become the highest military commander in the small town on the border. He would rather be a chicken mouth than a queen of the bull.

But Zhao Yanyu disagreed with Han Zhongwei going to the border town. He hoped that Han Zhongwei was by his side, and Yuting would also be in Chengdu Mansion a month later. If Han Zhongwei went to the border town, it would be impossible for his daughter to meet him. Before they got married, they would not cause trouble in their own mansion. But if Yuting was asked to go to the border town where Han Zhongwei was, it would be embarrassing if it spread.

The arm could not twist his thighs. As the Sichuan commander, Zhao Yanyu had no choice but to arrange Han Zhongwei near Chengdu Prefecture. Moreover, before coming to Sichuan, Han Luzhou also asked him to take good care of Han Zhongwei. He didn't want his son-in-law to suffer any harm.

In the end, Han Zhongwei had to surrender to Zhao Yanyu's tyranny and promised to stay near Chengdu Prefecture, but he also hoped that Zhao Yanyu could give him more troops. Zhao Yanyu originally wanted to give Han Zhongwei five hundred people, but no matter how Han Zhongwei trained, it would have nothing to do with the overall situation. But since Han Zhongwei proposed to lead more troops, and Han Zhongwei was by his side, Zhao Yanyu waved his pen and promised to give Han Zhongwei three thousand people. There were two deputy generals, six prepared generals, and thirty generals.

The three thousand Han Zhongwei were in a separate military camp. The next day, Han Zhongwei changed into the armor of the general and took Han Zhongyi, Zhang Ying and Liu Chengliang to the military camp northeast of the city. There were three thousand Han Zhongwei's subordinates.

The place where Han Zhongwei's generals and horses were stationed was not far from Chengdu Prefecture. They came out from the East City Gate of Chengdu Prefecture and were less than ten miles northeast. Han Zhongwei and others were all riding horses, and they could see the military camp from afar in half an hour.

"Look, there is a military camp ahead." Han Zhongyi saw the military camp with flags flying from afar, and there will be a place where he will make achievements in the future.

When everyone grabbed the horse's belly, their speed suddenly increased a lot, and they rushed towards the barracks. But the closer they were to the barracks, the tighter Han Zhongwei's brows frowned. There was no one on the high watchtower, and there was only one soldier standing guard in front of the barracks, and he leaned against the barracks. When he got closer, he realized that the man was still sleeping. Until he heard the sound of a horse, he stretched and slowly stood up straight.

Although there were three horses at the gate of the camp, only one horse was placed in the center, and the other two were actually left empty. Outside the camp was a wall made of rammed earth, about two meters high and one meter wide. Originally, there should be someone on duty on the wall at any time, but now there is no one.

Under the sunlight, Han Zhongwei's helmet and shirt flashed with dazzling light. The soldier had long heard that there would be a new leader in the near future. He would not have come so soon, right? He quickly stood up and held his body straight.

"Who is coming?" The sergeant standing guard had no time to go in and notify the people in the military camp. Now he only begs for those with a clever mind to inform the two deputy generals in the military camp.

"Rareless, this is the newly appointed General Han Zhongwei, and why don't you get out of here quickly." Liu Chengliang was also wearing armor. He immediately stepped forward and said sternly.

"I've seen General Han." The sergeant dared not really stop him. He quickly moved away and moved the rebel horse away.

After Han Zhongwei and his group entered the barracks, he hurriedly ran in, grabbed a passing soldier, and asked him to report to Wu, Song and the two deputy generals, the new general Han Zhongwei, General Han Zhongwei, had arrived.

This barracks, which can accommodate 3,000 soldiers, are quite large in scale. The barracks are backed by a hill, so the walls are also built on the hill. Once you enter, there is a huge schoolyard, like a square. Not to mention 3,000 people, even 6,000 people will not be a problem to practice here at the same time. There are many military depots around the schoolyard, with various weapons placed unevenly, such as knives, guns, sticks, sticks, bows, crossbows, shields, etc. On the left is a barracks, with wood as pillars and wooden boards as walls, and the ones are not tiles but thatched. There is also a row of houses on the right, but bricks and wood structures on the other side, and tiles are used on the roof. In comparison, the house on the right is much more upscale.

Han Zhongwei was still looking at the military camp. A group of people suddenly ran out of the barracks on the right. The two of them were wearing uniforms, but perhaps because of the haste, they didn't have time to wear their helmets and their arms were lacking, which looked a bit funny.

"The last general Wu Yong, Song Zimin met the general."

"You are the deputy generals of our general Wu Yong and Song Zimin?" Han Zhongwei sat on the horse, looking at the two miserable deputy generals with an angry look on his face.

Han Zhongwei has a high position and can sit on the horse, but Han Zhongwei, Liu Chengliang and Zhang Ying dare not be arrogant. In front of the deputy general, they were not qualified yet, so they quickly turned over and dismounted and accompanied Han Zhongwei.

However, the two deputy generals failed to dress normally in broad daylight. Seeing them wearing this thick armor, they were running all the way, with their steps floating and breathless. After only a few steps, their faces were as bright as a tide. Han Zhongwei didn't understand how such a person could be a deputy general.

"It's the last general. I don't know if the general came to welcome him. I hope he would forgive him." Wu Yong said with a flattering smile. He was nervous when he saw Han Zhongwei speaking. Just now, several of his subordinates were playing cards in the room. When he heard that the general came to the military camp, he hurried out to greet him.

When Wu Yong saw Han Zhongwei's appearance, he was even more panicked. The reason was that Han Zhongwei was too young and he had to be careful and cautious when serving such a boss anytime and anywhere.

"There is no need to be welcomed. You two will go back quickly and dress neatly. In a quarter of an hour, I will be reviewing all the soldiers." Han Zhongwei glanced at the top of their heads and said with a frown.

"Yes." The new official took office for three times. Wu Yong and Song Zimin did not dare to go against the current, so they hurried back to the barracks. It seemed that the barracks on the right were the general's residences.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Yong and Song Zimin were finally dressed neatly, and at this time, Han Zhongwei had already dismounted and stood on the general's platform. When they saw them coming, he asked someone to beat the drum and ordered all the soldiers to gather.

At this time, the news that Han Zhongwei had arrived had spread throughout the military camp. Therefore, when he learned that the commander ordered his troops, he did not dare to neglect and ran to the schoolyard at a very fast speed. The weapons of the Song Dynasty were very sensitive, and the ones were divided into infantry, cavalry and sailors. The ones were small, which could be divided into crossbows, swords and guns, sticks, cards, firearms, etc.

Among them, crossbow training is the most important, because crossbows have always been the most important long-range weapon in ancient wars. In addition, the Song Dynasty army has always been mainly infantry. When facing the attacks of Western Xia and Jin cavalry, the crossbows with medium and long distance lethality are more effective. Therefore, crossbows occupy a primary position in the training of individual skills of the Song Dynasty.

For example, Han Zhongwei now has 3,000 people under his command, of which half are archers, 1,500 people. The rest are 500 swords, guns, sticks, cards, and firearms. As for the cavalry, except for the imperial guards, there are basically impossible to station troops in other places. There are no more than 500 people in the entire Sichuan cavalry, and they are all controlled by the commander and Xuanfu envoy, which is very good for each army and general below to have a mount. For example, Han Zhongwei and his team are each envious of each cavalry now.

There are more than ten thousand people, boundless. Although there are only three thousand people now, they look quite spectacular. If Han Zhongwei is not excited, it is a lie. Although he has no less than three thousand guards in Heicheng, he is his own private soldier after all. Now the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are standing below, and the meaning is completely different.

"Hello... brothers, hello, I, Han Zhongwei, is your new general. From now on, we will beg for food. In the future, I hope everyone can persevere, fight hard, and not be afraid of sacrifice. And I promise to reward merits, punish me if I have any mistakes, and never be partial." Han Zhongwei was excited and almost said good words from his comrades. He had already had a lot of things to say, but due to this, he had to finish it in a hurry.

Han Zhongwei was not talking loudly. Wu Yong and Song Zimin even thought that the few people standing in front of Han Zhongwei could hear it, but when Han Zhongwei finished speaking, all the soldiers in the audience responded. They looked at each other and were shocked. This new young general was extraordinary.

"Today, Japan will test your physical strength. Everyone, including me, will run five laps around the school ground like you. The first one who completes will be rewarded, and the last one who completes will be punished," Han Zhongwei said loudly again. "The first one who runs will be rewarded ten, the second one who runs five, and the third one who is the first one. At that time, the last three who completes will be responsible for the hygiene of the entire military camp today."

As soon as they finished speaking, the people below immediately changed their color. The military camp ran a circle and was 2,000 meters long, while the five circles were 100,000 meters long. Moreover, they were wearing heavy armor, and the sun seemed particularly vicious today. But when they heard that the first place had a reward of ten cents, everyone was excited. This was their salary for nearly half a year, and the soldiers who were confident in themselves were eager to try it out.

According to the provisions of the fourth year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (1134), the Infantry Armor was composed of iron armor and its armor was connected by leather strips or nails. It is a typical armor. Its protection range includes the whole body. It consists of 1,825 armor leaves, with a total weight of 29kg. At the same time, the protection power can be increased by increasing the number of armor leaves, but the weight will further increase. For this reason, the emperor personally gave an order to limit the infantry armor to 29.8kg. After that, the weight of the spearman's armor was set at 32-35kg; since archers are often involved in melee combat, their armor is set at 28-33kg; and the armor of the crossbow archer is set at 22-27kg. Fortunately, there was no weapon in this assembly, otherwise, the weight of each person would be nearly 50kg. Such a large load, if they could run 10,000 meters at a time, their physical strength would be in line with Han Zhongwei's wishes.

"Han Zhongyi, Liu Chengliang, Zhang Ying, you and the three of you go down and run with the soldiers." Han Zhongwei turned around and said to them.

"Yes" Although Han Zhongyi complained secretly, he did not dare to disobey at this time. Even Han Zhongwei agreed to go running. As generals, what reason do they have not to go?

"Deputy General Wu and Deputy General Song, let's go down together." Since Han Zhongwei said he wanted to train with them, there was no reason not to fulfill it.

Wu Yong and Song Zimin could only follow Han Zhongwei with bitter face, "Everyone listened to my order, turned left, and started running."

Originally, Han Zhongwei wanted to take care of Wu Yong and Song Zimin and let them run in the front so that even if they ran the slowest, they would not fall behind quickly. But what Han Zhongwei did not expect was that he had already caught up with them before he had run two laps. By the time he ran the third lap, Wu Yong and Song Zimin were no longer running, but moving.

However, Han Zhongyi, Liu Wuliang and Zhang Ying's performance was not satisfactory. Although they did not run in the first echelon, they followed the large army. Unlike Wu Yong and Song Zimin, who had run five laps, they were still struggling to finish the second lap.

Han Zhongwei ran almost every day, and he was almost indisputably ranked first with his internal strength, but it was indeed "almost" because he was only faster and a few steps compared to the second place.

"What's your name?" Han Zhongwei stopped and asked with interest. Although he did not do his best and took the advantage of the opportunity, he could see that this person did not do his best. It could be seen from the fact that he ran ten laps without breathing or blushing.

"At the end, Sun Shupei will be in charge of the first battalion to the fifth battalion." Sun Shupei said respectfully.

"Okay, Sun Shupei, you are responsible for recording the rankings." Han Zhongwei felt that Sun Shupei should be a craftsman, so he gave him a task.

"Yes." Sun Shupei did not think this was a tedious task, but it seemed like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He also stopped some soldiers who had run ten laps and asked them to help him complete this glorious task.

Half an hour later, Han Zhongwei called Sun Shupei, "Have you got the results?" Han Zhongwei asked.

"Not yet, only 1,634 people have completed ten laps..." Sun Shupei said embarrassedly. He was the old man of this general, but in front of the new general, the soldiers' performance made him ashamed.

"Is that right?" Han Zhongwei responded lightly. He had been standing on the stage. Now a small number of people were gritting their teeth and insisting. His two deputy generals Wu Yong and Song Zimin had already collapsed on the school ground. Two soldiers in the middle kept supporting him, but they only persisted for five times. In the end, they almost had to carry them away.

"This is the list of ten laps. The general took the lead. The last player was second, and the third place was a shield player."

"Okay, now you do something else, write down all the names of those who have not finished ten laps, and tell them that they don't have to run anymore. Just go back to the barracks to rest, and they don't need to practice next." Han Zhongwei looked at the "staggering" people on the school field and said disdainfully.

"Yes, but Deputy General Wu and Deputy General Song are also inside, they...?"

"They have worked very hard, and I think it's something they can't get when they go back to the barracks to rest." Han Zhongwei said calmly.

Sure enough, as soon as Sun Shupei announced that all those who had not finished ten laps did not need to run anymore, and they were all cheering after they could go back to the barracks to rest. Today, General Han's warning made them suffer a lot. The new official took office for three fires, but unexpectedly, the first fire almost burned them to pieces. Now they can finally go back to the barracks to rest. They welcomed General Han's such humanized orders.

But they didn't think about what kind of treatment they would get next, they just wanted to have enough rest today and continue their previous life tomorrow.

But in this case, those who ran ten laps in advance felt that they were at a disadvantage, and some even yelled there that if they knew this, they would run slowly and save some effort.

"Sun Shupei, gather all the people who had finished ten laps soon." Han Zhongwei waited until Sun Shupei registered all those who had not finished running and ordered loudly.

The soldiers who are still standing in the school are the soldiers he thinks are qualified. As for others, if they cannot keep up with the training as soon as possible and ensure that they are qualified, they will only be eliminated.
Chapter completed!
