Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 187 Martial Arts ([-])

Seeing that Wang Zhi was dissatisfied, everyone immediately shouted:

"Yes, sir!"

Only then did Wang Zhi nodded in satisfaction, and said to the people on the stage:

"I won't participate in the training, and leave the rest to Dayong, Gangzi, and Fanzi, with Shen Lian and Pei Lun assisting!"

Zhuo Yifan said with a smile:

"Brother, you can rest assured that you can teach us three things! Training soldiers is our old profession!"

Shen Lian and Pei Lun are apprentices of Monk and Zhuo Yifan, so they naturally know how powerful they are, and they have no objection to the three leading the training, so they clasped their fists and replied:
"Yes, everything follows the arrangement!"

Wang Zhi nodded, and went straight to his residence in the barracks.

Also starting from this day, every morning in the barracks, the sound of the wake-up call is sounded at 10 o'clock, [-] minutes of washing time, gathering and running for five kilometers, and eating breakfast at [-] o'clock: big meat buns and porridge.

One hour of queue training at eight o'clock, Wang Zhi also knew that queue training was not very useful in ancient times, it was only used to cultivate the habit of obeying orders among soldiers.

At 09:30, the Rifle Battalion trained their guns, that is, stability training. The Cavalry Battalion pulled out the horses to the river to wash the horses, and the Artillery Battalion learned to aim.

Lunch at 12 noon: braised pork (stir-fried pork), white rice.

The unified martial arts training starts at 1 o'clock, the rifle battalion trains assassination at four o'clock, and the cavalry battalion trains sword and marksmanship.

Dinner at 6 o'clock: fried meat, big bone soup, white rice.

At seven o'clock, each small banner organizes a summary of the gains and losses of the day.

Go to bed at 08:30, and start to gather urgently at irregular times at night.

This training lasted for half a year, and it was also from this year that there was a severe drought in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

With [-] soldiers, Qin Qing took out food from the warehouse and sent it to the north to help the victims. He released the lake water collected by the monk, Gangzi, and Fanzi on the dry riverbed everywhere, and taught the victims to grow drought-tolerant corn and potatoes. ,sweet potato.

This move made Chongzhen's prestige reach its peak, and the people all praised His Majesty for being sympathetic to the people and saving the people from fire and water.

At the same time, because of the large-scale planting of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the common people had surplus food. Qin Qing was even more vicious. He killed the gentry in the fish and meat village and confiscated countless gold and silver. Half of them were used for local people's livelihood construction, and half were transported back to the capital , This also gradually enriched Chongzhen's internal treasury.

The ministers in the court and the gentry and powerful men from all over the country had many connections, and they all went up to ask Chongzhen to deal with Qin Qing on the grounds that Qin Qing was charged with disorderly security and disrupting local order.

Chongzhen threw out the criminal evidence collected by Ding Baifeng's intelligence organization that the gentry's house was raided, leaving all the ministers speechless, and the matter was left alone.

In the following time, the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee racked their brains to find out Qin Qing's mistakes. Even in the court meeting, several fourth-rank officials were dismissed by Chongzhen for framing Qin Qing and sent to the frontier.

At the end of September, Wang Zhi's two battalions of soldiers finally achieved success in training, and it was also the day when the Tartars entered the pass to fight Caogu every year.

Wang Zhi notified Chongzhen to come to the barracks to hold an oath meeting, and was going to take the two battalions of troops and Ding Baifeng's special staff to the border to defeat the invasion of the Tartars.

This morning, Chongzhen brought all the ministers to the barracks.

At this time, in the military camp, Shen Lian and Pei Lun were dressed in general uniforms and stood on the general platform waiting for Chongzhen and his party.

The four of Wang Zhi and the monk hid in the room. The five of them had no intention of kneeling for Chongzhen, and they couldn't do so in a grand manner, so they had to pretend to be sick.

Seeing that the five people were absent, all the ministers reprimanded them and asked Chongzhen to punish the five people.

Chongzhen knew what was going on in his heart, and he didn't dare to make the five people kneel in public, so he had to interrupt Shen Lian and Pei Lun to start performing martial arts.

Shen Lian and Pei Lun took the orders and ordered people to beat the drums and sound the trumpets.

Immediately, from the barracks on the left of the barracks, there was a dense sound of horseshoes. All the ministers and Chongzhen raised their eyes and saw groups of soldiers, wearing armor they had never seen before, riding into the school field on horses. Just lined up, people were silent, but looked up at everyone on the stage with momentum like a rainbow.

Then, there was the sound of orderly footsteps from the barracks on the right, accompanied by the command of 'one two, one two', groups of soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle jackets and fighting firearms that no one had ever seen before, in neat formation Running into the school grounds, the queue was completed in a few breaths.

The ministers on the stage were shocked by the silent team in front of them, thinking:
When did the Ming army have such a forbidden army? There are more than 2000 people in this area, and they have such momentum. What the hell.

When Shen Lian and Pei Lun saw that the team had assembled, they both turned around and bowed together, saying:

"Your Majesty, the new army has assembled, please speak to your Majesty!"

Chongzhen looked at the soldiers in the field, he was very satisfied, and said in his heart:
A master is a master, and the soldiers trained here are different!If there were more soldiers like this in the Ming Dynasty, why would I worry about not being able to defeat the Tartars, and why not revitalize the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking in his heart, Chongzhen walked up a few steps, stood in front of the Dianjiang stage, and said:
"My soldiers, you have been training hard for more than half a year, and today is the day for you to go to war! I hope you can fight the enemy bravely, defend your homeland, and restore the border peace! My soldiers, do you have confidence?"

Shen Lian and Pei Lun immediately took the lead and shouted:

"Yes! Position Your Majesty to fight the enemy bravely and defend the country!"

All the soldiers in the school field shouted loudly:

"Yes! Position Your Majesty to fight the enemy bravely and defend your country! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

The voice was so loud that it frightened all the civil servants on the stage, but the generals watched in amazement, the fighting spirit and momentum from these 2000 people!
Chongzhen nodded in satisfaction, and said to Shen Lian and Pei Lun:
"Start performing martial arts!"

The two clasped their hands together and said:

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Lun turned around and walked to the front of the stage, saying:

"Rifle battalion, a team of hundreds of people, non-stop live ammunition shooting, start!"

After the words fell, the thousand-man rifle battalion in the field shouted in unison:
"Yes!"

After saying that, Qiqi turned around and walked to stand 200 meters in front of the target. The centurion in the front row raised their rifles, pulled the bolt neatly, and fired at the wooden target continuously under the orders of Baihu.

Suddenly, dense gunshots sounded in the field, but not much smoke rose.

This scene surprised everyone on the stage, and they all thought:
When did the firearms of this dynasty become so sharp?Don't you need to load gunpowder projectiles?With such a dense mass and such a long range, can the Tartar cavalry still rush to the soldiers?With this thousand men armed with such firearms, even five thousand horsemen from the Tartars would be hard to defeat!
Soon, the first row of wooden targets was smashed to pieces by a hundred people, who all ran away from both sides.

The second centurion stepped forward and continued to shoot at the wooden targets in the back row. That is, in 15 minutes, the thousand-man team had finished shooting.

In the Baihu password led by the team, thousands of people ran back to the arena, raised their heads and looked at everyone on the stage proudly.

It was also the first time for Chongzhen to see the power of a rifle, so he couldn't help saying:

"Good, good, good! Haha, with such force, we will definitely win the battle!"
