"Haha! Li Canjun not only brought unparalleled armor and peerless magic weapons to the Xuanjia Army, but now he also brought so many... so many training tools. As the general of the Xuanjia Army, I really want to thank Li Canjun!"
In the Xuanjia Army, on the second day of the implementation of the new training code, early in the morning, many carriages loaded with goods came outside the Xuanjia Army. It was Li Zexuan who sent a telegram yesterday to ask the workshop to customize them. There are two hundred pairs of horizontal bars specially used for soldiers to train pull-ups. Although it is far less than the five thousand of the Xuanjia Army, it is barely enough if they take turns to train at staggered peaks. Looking at the cart after cart of ordnance supplies After being transported in, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but smile to Li Zexuan beside him.
"Hmph! Isn't it just that he has some bad money? After all, he is still a businessman!"
Seeing Duan Zhixuan praising Li Zexuan so much, Qiu Xinggong couldn't help rolling his eyes and mockingly in his heart.
He didn't have a good impression of Li Zexuan in the first place, and Li Zexuan unexpectedly recruited his army yesterday, which made him even more eager to find an opportunity to drive Li Zexuan out of the Xuanjia Army!
"The general is serious!"
Li Zexuan bowed his hands to Duan Zhixuan and said: "The general is now also a member of the Xuanjia Army. It is the responsibility of the general to do something for the Xuanjia Army!"
Duan Zhixuan chuckled and said: "Haha! Li Shenjun is so humble! Public affairs are public affairs, private wealth is private wealth. Li Shenjun spent time and time again for the Xuanjia Army. I, the chief general of the Xuanjia Army, am very ashamed! The previous Let’s not talk about weapons and armor. I will definitely report this training equipment to the Ministry of War and purchase it with military supplies. I hope Li Shenjun will not refuse!"
The previous vanadium steel armor and vanadium steel horse were specially built by Qiquge New Workshop for the Xuanjia Army at a huge cost. This part of the cost was completely borne by Li Zexuan himself. This was the guarantee Li Zexuan gave Li Er. At that time, locust plagues were widespread in the Tang Dynasty, and wolves and tigers were watching from the north. Although the treasury had money and food, it would inevitably be a bit tight if it had to deal with locust plagues and Turks at the same time, so Li Er accepted Li Zexuan's favor.
No one has carefully calculated how much money the vanadium steel armor of the Five Thousand Xuanjia Army costs, not even the owner, Li Zexuan, because some of these things are difficult to measure in terms of money, such as the workshop. The newly developed special alloy - vanadium steel, and the new technology of weapon forging in the workshop, these things are priceless for this era!
However, if we only calculate the cost of materials, the cost of five thousand weapons and armors (including horse armor) is at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. This does not include labor costs and technical costs. After all, it is also necessary to develop a new technology. Of time and energy!
This estimate will be less, not more. After all, in this era of extremely backward iron ore mining technology, the iron itself is precious, let alone the special alloy vanadium steel in the workshop! Otherwise, everyone knows that heavy cavalry is invincible, but why not raise tens or hundreds of thousands of heavy cavalry? Because I can’t afford it!
Neither the Tang Dynasty nor the European countries in the Middle Ages can afford to raise tens of thousands of heavy cavalry. As long as someone can afford to raise a hundred thousand heavy cavalry for the first time, in the era of cold weapons, they will definitely be able to conquer the world with this power. !
Therefore, the actual value of five thousand sets of weapons and armor is definitely much more than the amount of forty to fifty thousand guan. With the current financial situation of the imperial court, this money is affordable, but after paying it, it will greatly weaken the imperial court's vitality. All civil and military officials will never agree! Therefore, Li Er is willing to accept Li Zexuan's love and is willing to use Li Zexuan's money to support the current Xuanjia Army!
But compared to weapons and armor, these two hundred pairs of horizontal bars are a small amount of money, so Duan Zhixuan still has the right to "reimburse" Li Zexuan on his own initiative! After all, it is enough to use your own money to advance military supplies for the army once. The impact will be bad if it happens more times. Once the external environment of the Tang Dynasty stabilizes, it is very likely that some courtiers will use this matter to criticize Li Zexuan!
This is not impossible, because the Xuanjia Army is the army of the imperial court and Li Er's army. Why should it be raised with Li Zexuan's money? In the feudal dynasty, buying military morale was a serious crime. When encountering a king with a slightly smaller belly, as long as some courtiers slandered the matter, Li Zexuan would definitely be in big trouble!
So to a certain extent, Duan Zhixuan's move was to protect Li Zexuan!
Li Ze After acquiring the secondary weapon and armor, the general’s family will be so poor that they can’t even take the blame!”
Of course this was a joke, but it didn't matter. What mattered was that he accepted Duan Zhixuan's favor!
Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard this and said: "Haha! Li Canjun is really good at joking. When it comes to making money, you are second in the world, who dares to be first? Haha! Now that the training equipment has arrived , let the soldiers practice the so-called pull-ups later! Through my inspection yesterday, I found that Li Shenjun’s new training method is very effective!"
Before Li Zexuan spoke, Qiu Xinggong couldn't help but said angrily: "The new training code has only been implemented for one day, how can it be seen that it is effective? I'm afraid it's too early for the general to draw such a conclusion?"
Duan Zhixuan was not annoyed. He glanced at Qiu Xinggong indifferently and said, "Haha, Xinggong is right. It is indeed too early for us to say this now, but after experiencing the new training routine yesterday, I am quite right. I am very confident about this new training method. I believe we will know in ten days and a half whether it is effective or not!”
All day yesterday, Duan Zhixuan did nothing else. He followed the soldiers of the third battalion A, D, and W for a whole day of training according to Li Zexuan's new training routine. Faced with new things and new methods, Duan Zhixuan did not Deny or accept it completely at first glance, but first experience it personally before making an evaluation.
As a martial arts expert at the master level, the ordinary training in the military is of no use to him, because all parts of his body have been tempered for a long time, and his physical fitness is dozens of times better than that of ordinary people. Therefore, Li Zexuan's new training routine is Duan Zhixuan always performed five times the amount of training prescribed by the soldiers. For example, if someone else ran ten miles, he would run fifty miles, and if someone else did a hundred push-ups, he would do five hundred.
At the end of the day, Duan Zhixuan just felt a little tired, but when he got up this morning, Duan Zhixuan found that the muscles in his arms and thighs were a little sore, which made him feel surprised. Knowing that martial arts masters at his level have already It is difficult to improve the ability of a certain part of the body through simple sports, but the physical feeling tells him that Li Zexuan's training method is indeed very helpful in building arm strength and physical fitness!
If this is the case for him, wouldn't it be an even greater improvement for ordinary soldiers
The only thing that makes Duan Zhixuan regretful is that yesterday because there was no horizontal bar in the Xuanjia Army, he couldn't do pull-up training, but this problem will not exist today!
"Then it will last for ten days. After ten days, let the soldiers of the Y-zi camp and the E-zi battalion compete to see whether the new training drill is more effective or the original drill is more powerful! What do the general and Li Canjun think?"
Seeing Duan Zhixuan "favoring" Li Zexuan again and again, Qiu Xinggong became a little angry. He rolled his eyes, took his mind into consideration, and cupped his fists towards Qiu Xinggong.
Although this old guy mentioned Li Zexuan's name, he never looked at Li Zexuan from the beginning to the end. He was really arrogant!
It is said that yesterday Zhang Kangnian and Sun Tao were almost punished by Duan Zhixuan's military law because they did not accept Li Zexuan's new training drill. Afterwards, the two people couldn't help but be embarrassed. Should they continue to train their soldiers according to the original training method, or should they adopt Li Zexuan's new training method?
According to the original words, they would probably be punished by Duan Zhixuan again, but Duan Zhixuan did not explicitly order them to switch to Li Zexuan's training method. If they changed it, Duan Zhixuan would not say anything, but Qiu Xinggong would It’s hard to explain!
Although this incident made them feel a little grudge against Qiu Xinggong, it did not cause them to completely break up with Qiu Xinggong. Therefore, in a dilemma, the two men went to Li Zexuan and asked Yiziying and Cziying whether they wanted to change their training methods. Anyway, no matter what, they would definitely not be wrong to listen to Li Zexuan at this time, even if Duan Zhixuan and Qiu Xinggong were to blame , they can also pass the responsibility to Li Zexuan. Who makes Li Zexuan responsible for all the training affairs of the Xuanjia Army now
Li Zexuan intended to convince everyone through Tie Zhengzheng's facts, so when Zhang Kangnian and Sun Tao came to ask him, he asked them to still use the original training method and wait until the new training method showed results before fully adopting it!
As if they were pardoned, the two of them happily went back to lead their troops in training!
Qiu Xinggong said at this time that he would let the soldiers of Yiziying and Wuziying compete in ten days. This was actually a bit clever, because among the five camps of the Xuanjia Army, only Wuziying was composed entirely of recruits (this recruit , refers to the new soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, not pure recruits), the other camps are a mix of recruits and veterans, especially the Jiazi camp, all of them are veterans of the Xuanjia Army, Qiu Xinggong does not dare to let There is really no comparison between Yizi Camp and Azi Camp. No matter whether Azi Camp uses the new Cao Code training or the old Cao Code training, their combat power is far higher than that of Y Zi Camp!
This old guy picked the strongest battalion in his hands and competed with the weakest battalion in Li Zexuan's hands. The sinister intentions of this old guy are self-evident!
"Ten days?"
After Duan Zhixuan heard Qiu Xinggong's proposal, he couldn't help but frowned. Then he looked at Li Zexuan and asked, "Li Canjun, what do you think of Xing Gong's proposal?"
Although he supports Li Zexuan and Li Zexuan's new training code, he cannot completely ignore the feelings of other generals in the army. Therefore, the effect of this new training code must be approved by the majority of the generals in the army before it can be fully implemented. The simplest and most effective way to get most generals to agree is to compete!
Let the army that implemented the new training code compete with the army that trained according to the original training code!
"Okay! Then it will last for ten days! After ten days, the soldiers of the E-shaped battalion and the soldiers of the B-shaped battalion will have a military competition!"
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed, and he gave Qiu Xinggong, an old fox, a meaningful look, and then he nodded calmly.
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong's face suddenly became happy, but Duan Zhixuan's face turned worried. He said, "Li Canjun, have you thought about it? In ten days' time, we will use the W-shaped camp to fight against the B-shaped camp?"
Li Zexuan nodded without hesitation: "I have thought about it!"
"Haha! Li Junjun is so courageous! Since it is a competition, there must be some luck. What should happen if the W-shaped camp loses to the B-shaped camp in ten days?"
It was inevitable that Li Zexuan would regret it, so Qiu Xinggong laughed quickly and interjected.
Li Zexuan glanced at the old guy and said calmly: "What do you want, General Qiu?"
Qiu Xinggong straightened his face and said seriously: "Ahem! If the Yiziying wins in the end, it means that Li Canjun's new training code is nothing more than this. When the time comes, please ask the general to abolish the new training code and let the soldiers restore their original training code. Regarding the training method, of course, Li Shenjun is not familiar with the original training methods of the Xuanjia Army, so I will be responsible for the daily training of the entire army at that time!"
This old guy has a good plan. Once the Y-zi battalion wins, he will not only step on Li Zexuan's face severely, but also take back his original right to train soldiers!
"Then what if Wuziying wins in the end?"
Li Zexuan looked at Qiu Xinggong and said with a half-smile, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Qiu Xinggong frowned and said displeased: "Humph! If Wuziying wins, it means that Li Canjun's new training routine is effective and should be fully implemented in the Xuanjia Army. Everything Li Canjun will do in the Xuanjia Army in the future , I will never ask another question! How about that?"
"Okay! Then it's settled! Ten days later, the W-Ziying and Yi-Ziying will compete! As for the content of this competition, a plan will be drafted later, and both the General and General Qiu will come to discuss the details. , I hope the comparison can be fair and just for both sides!”
Li Zexuan took a deep look at Qiu Xinggong and said loudly.
Seeing that Li Zexuan was full of confidence, Duan Zhixuan did not persuade him anymore. He nodded and said: "Okay! Since both of you have this intention, I will bear witness! Ten days later, the soldiers of the W-Ziying and the Y-Ziying will have a military competition! "
"Thank you, General!"
Li Zexuan and Qiu Xinggong cupped their fists at Duan Zhixuan.
"Um!"
Duan Zhixuan nodded, and then said: "The soldiers have finished their morning run now, you two can go and do your work! Li Junjun, before tomorrow, you compile a competition plan and hand it over to me! Also, these new recruits to the camp Send someone to install the training equipment! I want to try that pull-up you mentioned today!"
"Here!"
"The general will obey the order!"
Hearing this, Qiu Xinggong and Li Zexuan clasped their fists and accepted the order.
