Late Tang

For half a month, Li Jing asked the Zuo Yidu recruits to run in the morning fully armed and loaded with weight, and gradually increased the load.In the morning, it is dedicated to standing in a military posture.In the afternoon, queue drills will be carried out in a unified manner.

Repeatedly, come and go, these three exercises are performed every day.And the drills are extremely strict, even getting stricter as you get to the end.Can't finish the task in the morning, half breakfast, bad military posture, half lunch, running circles around the school field, squatting, jumping, and push-ups.In the afternoon queue drills, not only ordinary soldiers have to drill, but the corporal leaders and team leaders have to act as the vanguard.

For half a month, there are very few who can eat a complete meal every day, and most recruits can only eat half a meal each meal.However, Li Jing didn't intend to abuse these recruits. In order to ensure that the recruits' bodies could adapt to this kind of intensive training, he specially requested Zuo Yidu to change from two meals a day to three meals a day.And each meal is specially equipped with some seasonal vegetables such as pork and lamb.Although most of the soldiers can only eat half a meal, they actually take in more nutrients than before.

Moreover, Li Jing also specially stipulated that five-class meals should be implemented from the general to the head of the team to the team leader, corporal leader, and soldiers.Different ranks have the right to eat different packages. In addition to this job package, there is also an assessment every seven days. The assessment results are divided into ten grades. The results of the basic performance assessment are classified as fifth-grade packages. Enjoy different packages.In addition, during the daily training, the soldiers' packages should be upgraded or upgraded according to the performance of the day.If the training performance is outstanding, then his meal standard will be improved, and if the performance is not good, his original standard will be reduced.

In short, Zuoyidu’s dining standard is very high. The best set meal standard is four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, rice and steamed cakes are enough, and the meals are not repeated. This meal is chicken and duck, and the next meal is pork and sheep. Next meal fish.But if the performance is not good and the training task cannot be completed, it can only be pickled strips and sorghum porridge.Although sorghum vegetable porridge is enough to keep you full, it doesn’t matter how much you eat, but no matter how much vegetable porridge you eat, it can’t satisfy your hunger.What's more, others eat chicken, duck and fish, but you can only eat pickles and vegetable porridge. Few people are willing to accept this kind of contrast.

In the first few days, the most difficult training was to stand in the military posture, and it was a disaster to stand in the military posture every morning.Many soldiers would rather run laps, squat jumps, and push-ups than stand in a military posture.However, with the introduction of the reward and punishment system in Dushang, and the competition where everyone competes for the first place, the military posture of the recruits began to get better and better.On the contrary, the most difficult part of the training is the queue drill.

Turn left, turn right, turn back, stand at attention, take a rest, look to the right, and run in unison!

This new set of queue drills was very novel and fun for the two teams of recruits from Zuo Yidu at first.But after the real training, it made Li Jing feel like he was going to die.It may be a good idea for this group of young recruits to go hunting in the mountains, and farming and working, but it is sometimes harder for them to distinguish between left and right than for them to carry a cow.

Li Jing yelled in front of him to turn right, but the originally neatly arranged line immediately fell into chaos.Some are going to the right, some are going to the left, and some are colliding with each other. The team is like going to a market.

Later, Li Jing, Wang Zhong and the others thought of a way to let these recruits wear different shoes, one white and one black, white on the left and black on the right, so that these people are familiar with it.Back to the conditioned reflex, as soon as you call left, you will immediately stretch out your left foot wearing a white shoe.

It took almost a full ten days before the queue drill was on the right track.However, in the next few days, Li Jing still ran in the morning, in military posture in the morning, and practiced in the queue in the afternoon.It's just that Li Jing didn't spare even the evening time, and stipulated that after dinner every day, all soldiers should learn to recognize characters, and it was stipulated that everyone had to learn two characters every night.As soon as this request came out, even Wang Zhong felt a little unclear.They were just united soldiers, and they learned the military posture to train in order to polish the wildness of the recruits and cultivate what Li Jing called the team spirit and tenacious style.But for a group of solidarity soldiers, there is no need to learn how to read and write.

Li Jing's explanation for this is that after many soldiers have trained for a day during the day, they tend to be bored and cause trouble when they are free at night.Often suffer from problems such as drinking and playing money, and even easy to fight and make trouble.It's better to get together to learn how to read and let the soldiers know how to read, and at the same time, it can prevent them from having nothing to do and causing trouble.Second, we can use the opportunity of literacy to strengthen discipline education, and we can also summarize training experience every day and learn some knowledge about warfare.

Wang Zhong didn't pay much attention to other explanations, but he agreed with Li Jing's statement that this would occupy the time of those recruits, so that they would not have time to make trouble, so he didn't care about it.

After half a month of training like this, Li Jing held a parade parade, and specially invited the Ten Generals of the Battalion, Song Wen, Marquis of Duyu and others.Originally, Li Jing thought that although Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing had the names of regimental envoys and deputy envoys, after all, they were part-timers, and their main responsibility was to manage state affairs.So Li Jing just asked someone to send a letter to the two superiors, but he didn't expect that Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing would arrive together that day, and even Bie Jia, King Zhao Li Rui, and Sima Yu who had always kept a low profile and rarely showed up Wu didn't even invite himself.In addition to them, many local officials from the state and Penglai County were also invited.

And this small parade, for some reason, even Dong Mou Shouzhuo, Dengzhou Zhenbing, Longshanying, Penglai Navy, Daxiezhai and other armies that do not belong to each other also have their generals leading teams to watch .

All of a sudden, the Jiulidian Unity Camp was gathering in all directions, and the situation was surging.

Li Jing felt a little flattered, wondering how a small queue would startle so many big shots.

At the gate of the camp, Li Jing, who was fully armed today, greeted these uninvited civil servants and generals respectfully one by one. He kept nodding and bowing, and greeted them with a smile, which made his waist sore and his face numb from laughing.

Just as he was about to take some time to escape from here, he saw a few bullock carts approaching, and a few people got off from them.Li Jing glanced over, but saw that two of them were acquaintances, namely Biejia Li Rui and Sima Yujuan, and there were several young people in robes behind them.

When Li Jing greeted his teacher Cui Yunqing just now, he had already heard that Li Rui and others were coming, but he didn't expect them to come.

"Students welcome their teacher and meet King Zhao."

Yu Jian looked at Li Jing's military uniform, he was very heroic, and said with a smile: "You are a scholar in the Futou gown, but today you are wearing a military uniform, but you are more general. Yes, yes, I also heard in the city that you made a The new training method, in just half a month, has completely transformed Zuo Yidu's training. As a teacher, my heart is moved, and I have long wanted to come and see it. You don't blame me for coming here uninvited, right?"

"Where, where. The student was just afraid of disturbing the teacher, so he didn't invite him. If he knew that the teacher was interested in this, the student should have gone to pick up the teacher in person."

Yu Yu smiled, "When I came here, I happened to meet King Zhao, so we came together, and I'll introduce you, these two are of your same generation, and they have to call you senior brother, come here."

Li Jing looked along Yu Yu's hand, but suddenly found that the two young people Yu Yu wanted to introduce were actually the two women disguised as men he met at the flax bakery last time.Today they are still in the same attire as that day, but with jade around their waists, they are more luxurious.

"It turned out to be the two young masters. They had a hasty farewell that day. I offended Haihan." Li Jing had almost guessed the identities of the two. .

"It turns out that you have already seen it, but you really don't know it as a teacher." Yu Yu laughed.

"It was purely a chance encounter. I didn't know the identities of the two before, but it was a bit offensive."

Yu Yu smiled lightly when he heard the words: "It's fate to meet each other by chance. Let me introduce you as a teacher. This is King Zhao's beloved daughter, Princess Xihe. The other one is my teacher's younger daughter and also your junior sister." .”

Li Jing bowed his hands to the two girls pretending to be men and said, "Hi, Princess Xihe, and sister Yu."

On the way into the camp, Yu Guan carefully looked at Zuo Yidu's barracks, not turning his head to search Zuo Yidu today's very mighty recruits, all wearing brand-new armor and jerseys.

"That's right, it's really good. Although I haven't seen the results of the exercises yet, just based on their aura, I know that today's exercises will not be bad. In this way, I feel much more relieved as a teacher, and I can leave with peace of mind."

Li Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, "Is the teacher leaving Dengzhou?"

Yu Guan nodded, and said in a tone full of emotion: "Yes, just three days ago, the imperial court ordered his younger brother Cong back to the imperial court and worshiped him as a Tongping Zhangshi, and his brother Gui was also promoted to be the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Dongdao. , the fourth brother Qiu was promoted to Fujian Observation Envoy, and I have just been appointed by the imperial court as the Toyosu Defense Envoy, and I will leave for the post today."

"Congratulations to my mentor for finally rehabilitating Zhaoxue and making a comeback." Li Jing smiled and stepped forward to congratulate.Yu Cong is the son-in-law and Yu Jian's younger brother.Previously, the Yu family was demoted because Yu Cong offended the former Prime Minister Wei Baoheng.Now that Wei Baoheng has been bestowed to death, the resurgence of Yu's family has long been expected by everyone, but what they didn't expect was that Yu Cong not only resumed his role this time, but also directly added Tongping Zhangshi.It's the same as Zhangping. Adding this official title means paying homage to the prime minister and going straight to the center.

As for the other three brothers of the Yu family, one is a Jiedu envoy, one is an observation envoy, and the other is a defense envoy. They are all frontier officials.

At this time, Li Jing also gradually understood why a small parade attracted so many civil servants and military generals. It turned out that they all knew that Li Jing's teacher Yu Jian had made a comeback, and Yu Cong even worshiped his prime minister.They flocked here, they didn't really want to see the parade, they probably got the news that Yu Yu would be here today, they came to see Yu Cang in the name of watching the parade, and wanted to have some relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Li Jing felt very complicated.He was naturally happy when his teacher was promoted, but Yu Jian was promoted to Guanlong as soon as he was promoted, which made him somewhat regretful.Once Yu Jian has gone so far, whether he can maintain this teacher-student relationship in the future is still a matter of debate.Even if Yu Yu still recognizes him as a student, I'm afraid it's too far away to take care of him.

It is a happy thing to have a prime minister in the court who is my brother's younger brother, but the teacher has to go thousands of miles away to take up the post, which makes people feel a little bit uninterested after all.
