"Li Xing's combat was very brave. He took the lead and killed a lot of the other soldiers. I counted them. No less than 30." Another infantry general, Jiang Gen, admired Li Xing's bravery. This was rare among the officers of the late Ming Dynasty.

"Well, Li Xing's charge and battle are indeed very morale-boosting, and he is a brave general. When the brave meets on a narrow road, the brave wins. At a critical time, Li Xing's army is definitely a reassuring team." Zhu Youjian glanced at Li Xing and found him His face has improved, and it is no longer the previous red black. "In addition, when the situation is unfavorable, his soldiers have not been defeated. He can lead the soldiers and retreat all over, so he is a brave general."

Seeing everyone nodding their heads, affirming their own discovery, and for the time being not thinking about words, Zhu Youjian had no choice but to continue his discovery: "Although actual combat exercises can be won or lost, every officer, especially the two leading officers, is required to summarize. The shortcomings, but more importantly, is training so that the soldiers can feel the atmosphere of the battlefield and endure the test of victory or defeat and life and death. The biggest gain of this exercise is that the soldiers of both sides strictly observe discipline, and no soldier escapes from the battlefield. This is the only way. Only soldiers can become a strong army." Although this is far from Zhu Youjian's requirements and goals, the progress of Fenwuying is obvious to all. Moving in this direction, Zhu Youjian believes that they will become their own minds. The teacher of the tiger and wolf in China.

Li Chunye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and also admiral of the 3rd battalion of the capital, accompanied by Lin Guotai, the right governor of the 5th battalion, came to the Fenwu Camp for a military parade. He was a veteran of the three dynasties, and he was both upright and sophisticated, so he flourished in the political arena of the late Ming Dynasty. Originally, he paraded in the order of the local army, the Shenji camp, the three thousand camp, and the fifth army camp, but Qin Yongnian reluctantly went to the Fenwu camp to parade alone through the recommendation of Lin Guotai.

A few days ago, I saw the local army, the Shenji camp, and the Sanqian camp. Li Chunye frowned. As a military official who was born as a civilian, he knew that political corruption had deeply affected the military camp. The listless soldiers and the indifferent morale were low. Daming's military corruption was nakedly displayed in front of him. Although the officers tried their best to pretend to be hoarse, and the soldiers tried to hold back the yawn to appear brave and powerful, he still seemed worried, who was well versed in the military.

Zhu Youjian led the soldiers under the parade, and Qin Yongnian stood on the parade with Li Chunye and Lin Guotai. Although he had an irrational trust in Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian was a minor after all. No hair, not good at handling things", his heart is still uneasy, but he is not involved in politics, he is not a flatterer, and he is not too demanding about the results of the military parade. Lin Guotai was purely for Qin Yongnian's request, and his army knew that the soldiers who were not full of food and had not been on the front line for many years, how better their military appearance could be? Li Chunye stood on the parade stand without saying a word. He felt like the soldiers he had read over the past few days. He was completely trying to cheer up when he couldn't help himself.

A team of hundreds of soldiers, under the leadership of an officer, entered the arena from the right side with their heads upright, and walked to the center of the parade ground. Neat steps, strong arms, cold face, never squinting eyes...

The whole team stood there, motionless, only the long spring breeze was blowing the soldiers' hair. The officer leading the team ran to Zhu Youjian and raised his hand to salute: "Report to Staff Officer Wang, the first team of Fenwuying infantry, assembled, are on the court, please give instructions."

Zhu Youzhen also trot to the parade platform, and also raised his hand to salute: "Report to Master Shangshu, the first team of Fenwuying has assembled, and request the start of the military parade."

Li Chunye saw a group of soldiers from Fenwu Camp appear, and his eyes became bright. He was staring at the soldiers on the parade ground. Zhu Youjian's words left him stunned. He didn't hear the specific content at all. Lin Guotai went up. After whispering, Li Chunye was relieved, "Agree, the military parade officially begins."

Zhu Youzhen ran down the parade again, came to the officer, and stood at attention: "The parade has officially begun, and the first infantry team will go out." Then he waved and saluted and exited the parade from the left.

The leader officer turned to the left and ran back to his position.

"Stand at attention, turn right--turn, start--go." A hundred soldiers, divided into ten teams, each with ten people, walked towards the parade stand, each soldier’s left leg, right leg, left arm, and right arm, They are uniform and uniform, no matter from which direction they are viewed, they seem to be the same person, but the line of a hundred people is more impressive than one person walking. The feet of the soldiers are also loud and sound, which adds to the collective aura.

The second team of soldiers is also a hundred men, ten rows and ten columns.

"Stand at attention, rest for a while, turn left--turn, backward--turn, right--turn, three steps forward--walk..." In the command of the leader, the soldiers moved neatly, with their heads high and their eyes raised. Squinting, sometimes becoming a fifth team under the command of the leader, and sometimes reverting to a tenth team, there is absolutely no feeling of dignity and stagnation...

The third team of hundred infantrymen, holding a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, strutting with their heads high, under the leadership of the team leader, walked past the parade platform without any stagnation.

The fourth team of hundreds of infantrymen, holding guns in both hands, pointed the tip of the gun diagonally upwards toward the sky, also marching forward, walking across the parade platform without stopping.

The fifth team of infantry is a special team, they enter the court neatly with short knives around the waist and hips. They did not wear the armor of the Ming army, but a set of grass-green military uniforms.

"Spread forward, backward, left and right!"

The leader gave an order, and the soldiers scattered and separated, but the queue was not chaotic, still ten rows and ten columns, but the distance between each soldier increased a lot.

"Sing a military song!"

The soldiers sang the military song that Zhu Youjian had taught:

"The smoke rises

Looking north

Dragon roll

Ma Changsi

Jian Qi Rushuang

How many hands and feet are loyal

He Xibai die to serve the country

Sigh

More speechless

Blood and tears

Horseshoe South

People looking north

People looking north

Grass green and yellow

Dusty

I am willing to defend the land and rebuild the frontier

Da Ming wants to let Quartet

Come to congratulate. "

While singing and demonstrating a set of martial arts boxing designed by Zhu Youjian, the movements are scattered and not chaotic, which looks majestic and majestic.

At the end of the paragraph, the soldiers drew their swords at the same time as the commander of the team leader, "... I would like to protect the land and rebuild the country and let the four parties come to congratulate." The last five tricks are Zhu Youjian's imaginary sword technique: Jin Yu Man Tang , Sightseeing in the households, rushing to know what to say, ********, yin and yang.

At the end of the song, the soldiers put away their short knives, reassembled, and then slowly exited...

Li Chunye was still immersed in the high-pitched rhythm, even the soldiers had left the field without even realizing it...

"The first team of cavalry enter the arena!" Zhu Youjian shouted in a low voice, making the flag move, and the drums reminded him. The hoofs of "get, get" approached from far away.

Hundreds of people, hundreds of rides, came quickly. Every ten rides in a row, forming a "one" line, marching forward neatly, to the parade stand, abruptly stopping, and staying on the spot. But seeing the flag waved, a hundred people and a hundred horses immediately turned around, the back team changed into the front team, neatly formed into "one", and left...

If a cavalry wants to move forward in a "one" shape, the speed of the horse must be consistent, and the people must have a tacit understanding. This is much harder than the infantry. It is a slave who has lived on horseback since childhood. If you want to find a hundred horses to maintain the same speed Running at high speed is also very difficult. Li Chunye was marveling. Suddenly he saw a man on the right waving a flag, and there was the sound of horses' hoofs. A group of cavalry with twenty cavalry charged in an "arrow"-shaped queue. The horses were so fast and the formation was not chaotic, they rushed to the parade. Before the stage, I turned around and went west.

The third group of cavalry, also twenty cavalry, ran from the front and two rows in parallel to the parade. They repaired the ground and separated, leaving one team on the left and the right.

The fourth team of twenty cavalry was divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the left, with ten people in each team. They entered from the parade from left to right, and they faced each other. When the heads of the horses were about to collide and everyone was in fear, the riders pulled the reins and the horses Turn at a right angle, become two rides in each row, go far in parallel.

The fifth team of twenty cavalry was also divided into two teams, opposing from the left and right in front of the parade, and then the two teams went out with a horse, alternately entered the row, and became a team, running in a straight line towards the front and far away... Although the fifth team The content is similar to the performance of the fourth team, but alternately entering the ranks, which requires extremely high riding skills and tacit understanding of the riders. A slight mistake will inevitably lead to heavy casualties...

After the ten teams of soldiers finished their performance, Zhu Youjian trot to the parade stage again, "Report to Master Shangshu, the demonstration by the soldiers of Fenwu Camp is over."

Li Chunye was still immersed in the military parade, and Lin Guotai was also immersed in the military parade. Even Qin Yongnian was immersed in the performance of his own soldiers, and no one heard Zhu Youjian's report.

"Fenwuying is really a strong soldier! It's no wonder that Governor Lin wants me to review the Fenwuying alone. It really shows the mighty and mighty force of Daming!" Li Chunye, who was still proficient in accidents, was the first to wake up, "Qin commanded training soldiers. Well, I will report to the Lord and ask for your credit."

"This..." Qin Yongnian also woke up from the shock, but as a soldier, how could he take the credit of others for himself

"Haha, Commander Qin don’t need to be humble. Daming’s army is like a battalion, why are you afraid of the iron cavalry that builds slaves?" Li Chunye was shocked, he was happy in his heart, when Daming was corrupt everywhere. An army that spends sludge but does not stain it.

"Yes," Lin Guotai also squeezed forward, and the brilliant subordinates also made him stand out in front of Master Shang Shu, "I must join Master Shang Shu and ask for your credit in front of the Lord."

Suddenly, Qin Yongnian took a step forward and knelt down in front of Li Chunye, "Master Qishangshu, Master Governor, this is not the credit of his subordinates, and these soldiers are not trained by them."

Li Chunye was stunned: "You are the commander of Fenwu Camp. You didn't train these soldiers? Who did they train them?"

"It's His Royal Highness King Xin. Since His Royal Highness was down, the entire Fenwu Camp has been completely new, and the morale of the soldiers has risen in a straight line." Qin Yongnian didn't know whether what he said was a blessing or a curse, but he was a soldier and he didn't care about it. Political gains and losses, I don’t know whether Belief in the army will make him go to heaven or hell.

"Xinwang? He's in Fenwuying? How old is His Royal Highness? How old is he to train?" Li Chunye didn't believe Qin Yongnian's words, he looked closely at Qin Yongnian who was kneeling on the ground. Lin Guotai didn't believe it either, he had even forgotten that he personally sent Zhu Youjian to Fenwuying and handed it to Qin Yongnian.
