My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 162: Shock from the Duke!!
"What do you mean by standing at attention?"

Zeng Anmin had just sat down on the chair and was about to give orders to the two hundred soldiers in front of him.

Then he saw a figure wearing black armor, looking at him blankly and walking towards him.

The man looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a determined gaze and a high nose, but his skin was a little dark.

The most eye-catching thing is the black mole at the corner of his mouth.

And a full beard.

"Who is this……"

Zeng Anmin hesitated for a moment and looked at Tian Ji.

"Although Quan Fu understands military formations, he may be a little lacking in the true method of training troops. This is the deputy general I specially arranged for you to assist you in training the new army more conveniently."

Tian Ji grinned at Zeng Anmin and said:
"Don't underestimate him because he is young. He is very capable."

"Now, at the age of 26, he has already reached the fifth level of Breath-Restraining Realm. He is considered a famous master of the younger generation in the capital!"

"His talent in martial arts is comparable to that of Bai Ziqing, the current Beitidu."

After saying that, he looked at the man again, and his voice became serious:
"Wu Qianfeng, why don't you come over to meet Coach Zeng?"

"Your humble servant Wu Qianfeng greets Coach Zeng!"

The five forwards had resolute expressions on their faces and quickly walked forward.

He bowed deeply to Zeng Anmin.

"Wu Fu..."

Zeng Anmin touched his chin and looked Wu Qianfeng up and down.

Wu Qianfeng's attitude was not respectful.

But it is understandable, after all, he is a soldier.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, the Duke, to come here in person."

Zeng Anmin smiled and bowed to Tian Ji.

Tian Ji smiled comfortably. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. His Majesty also hopes that you can make faster progress."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Qianfeng calmly and said, "This time, Coach Zeng will be in charge of the military formation training. If Coach Zeng doesn't understand something, you must not hide it. If you disobey orders, you will be punished by military law."

His attitude towards Wu Qianfeng was not so good.

Wu Qianfeng responded respectfully: "Yes."

"Wait." Zeng Anmin frowned and looked at Duke Weiguo.

He came to Tian Ji's side, his voice full of seriousness:
"My Lord, when you asked me to train the army, you only told me to teach the formations, but you didn't tell me to start from scratch! Look at this soldier..."

Zeng Anmin couldn't bear to look directly at the two hundred or so new recruits in front of him:
"No matter what, can you at least give me some veterans?!"

Duke Wei sighed, looked around, and finally lowered his voice and said to Zeng Anmin:

"It's not that I don't want to send you veterans. To tell you the truth, this is what your father wanted."

"Master Zeng said that the Ministry of War is in a tight spot right now, and it's hard to arrange for the various departments to mobilize troops."

"Originally, I wanted to send the Wei Lin Army directly, but your father was not happy and insisted on recruiting new soldiers... He said that using old soldiers would require conversion and withdrawal, which would be too troublesome."

"Who knew that in the end this burden would fall on us two?"

Zeng Anmin was a little stunned after hearing this.

My dad? ?
Isn't this cheating your son?
"Can I leave now?"

Zeng Anmin looked at the two hundred soldiers in silence.

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. This is all His Majesty's will."

Tian Ji took a deep breath, looked at Zeng Anmin solemnly and said:

"Your Majesty has entrusted you with an important task. This shows that he values ​​you. You must not let His Majesty down!"

…………

"Wu Qianfeng, right?"

Zeng Anmin sat on the chair, touched his chin, and looked up at Wu Qianfeng.

From his perspective, he could just see the black mole on the corner of Wu Qianfeng's mouth hidden in the jungle of his beard.

Kind of funny.

"Coach Zeng."

Wu Qianfeng saluted Zeng Anmin without looking away, speaking in a straightforward manner:
"The method of training the army is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, so that the soldiers will fear and respect you, and finally you can enforce discipline."

"Oh?" Zeng Anmin raised his eyebrows: "It seems that General Wu is very proficient in the method of training troops?"

Wu Qianfeng nodded and replied, "The ancestors of our family have passed down the method of training the army."

"Then let me ask you, how long does it take to make the soldiers obey orders, be familiar with the commands, and be able to change the formation in an orderly manner and freely?"

Zeng Anmin asked while sitting in a chair with his arms folded.

"Three months."

Wu Qianfeng's eyes were determined: "It would be more difficult if ordinary people formed an army."

Three months? ?

Zeng Anmin frowned.

Is it so slow?

Apart from anything else, in the military training of the previous life, an ordinary instructor could make the troops obey orders within fifteen days.

He is also very familiar with military commands.

"A bit slow..."

Zeng Anmin touched his chin and groaned.

I thought I just needed to teach you the Mandarin Duck Formation and that would be it.

As a result, I have to train myself from scratch...

He felt a little anxious.

"slow?"

Hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Wu Qianfeng frowned tightly.

Then he looked calm:

"Master Zeng studied Confucianism and Taoism. I don't know if you can understand military formations, but my Wu family's military training method has been passed down for a long time and is the best in the world."

Tsk.

When Zeng Anmin heard Wu Qianfeng's words, he knew that this boy was somewhat dissatisfied with him.

But it doesn’t matter.

I didn't really come here for military training.

Wouldn’t it be nice to stay in the academy?
Isn’t it more comfortable to have Sister Qin accompany you to study than here?

"Okay, then you practice first."

Zeng Anmin yawned, then raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll sit here and watch first."

Wu Qianfeng was still frowning.

He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out.

"Everyone! Stand still!"

Fortunately, he turned around and shouted loudly, his voice shaking the sky.

It can be seen that the two hundred or so people in front of him were all stunned by his shout.

"Since you are a new soldier, you must obey military orders! I am your deputy coach. From now on, everyone must obey my orders!"

His eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"If anyone dares to act rashly, he will be punished according to military law!"

"Now, one step to the left and one step to the right, one step to the front and one step to the back! Disperse!"

Wu Qianfeng's brows were filled with determination, and his voice reached Zeng Anmin's ears:

"The first step in training an army is to teach the soldiers to recognize military orders in advance."

Then, he began to demonstrate and started his "teaching."

Zeng Anmin seemed quite relaxed watching from the side.

But he could also see that it was a bit too much to say that this new army consisted of the old, weak, sick and disabled.

But he didn't look like a trained sergeant either.

So it’s a bit difficult to start practicing from scratch.

Moreover, Wu Qianfeng is a capable man, but it is not easy to suddenly take control of such an army...

Finally, Zeng Anmin couldn't sit still anymore.

He really didn't want to stay in this broken military camp all day.

He waved to Wu Qianfeng and said, "General Wu, how about you sit down and watch how I train?"

After hearing Zeng Anmin's words, Wu Qianfeng's eyes became blank.

…………

Royal Garden.

Emperor Jianhong was in a rare good mood and took a walk in the garden with a few young eunuchs.

Holding a green jade pot in his hand and playing with it gently, he walked in the garden, raised his head nonchalantly, and looked at Si Zhongxiao beside him:
"Has Zeng Anmin gone to the military camp?"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei has invited Zeng Anmin from the Imperial Academy to the military camp."

Si Zhongxiao lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh?" Emperor Jianhong nodded slightly: "Yes."

"The Yuanyang Army formation was created by him. I can rest assured that he will lead the Yuanyang Army."

Si Zhongxiao looked up in astonishment: "Your Majesty, do you want Zeng Anmin to go with the army?"

Emperor Jianhong glanced at him calmly and continued to play with the jade pot in his hand without paying any attention: "If you were me, would you like a nerd who is devoted to Confucianism? Or would you like a Confucian who understands military formations and knows military laws?"

"Pfft~"

Si Zhongxiao's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground:

"Your Majesty, why...why do you say that? My loyalty to you is known to all heaven and earth. How could I dare to rebel against you?"

"Haha, this is what makes you different from Bai Ziqing."

When Emperor Jianhong saw Si Zhongxiao's performance, a smile appeared on his face:
"If I ask him this question, I don't know what he will say."

Si Zhongxiao just wiped the sweat from his head.

"Humph."

"Time is running out for me."

Emperor Jianhong slowly raised his gaze and headed towards the southernmost land.

"I can see through the Empress's plan, and so can all the nobles in the court... How can the Southern Prince not see through it? After seeing through it, how can he be willing to sit and wait for death?"

"So, we must march out in two months at most!"

Emperor Jianhong looked at Si Zhongxiao calmly and said, "Go tell Tian Ji to train the army as soon as possible."

"He has two months to make all soldiers familiar with the Mandarin Duck Army Formation and train a Mandarin Duck Army."

"In two months, we must send troops!"

At this point, there was a hint of chill in his voice: "I don't want to wait any longer."

"Yes."

Si Zhongxiao swallowed hard, staggered to his feet, and walked out of the garden.

Just left the Imperial Garden.

There was no panic on his face, but rather indifference.

He squinted his eyes, with an unknown light flashing in them.

………………

"Put your heels together! Spread your toes apart, and keep your legs straight..."

Zeng Anmin was holding an extremely thick teaching stick in his hand.

Shuttle among these soldiers.

At this time, he was teaching his soldiers how to stand at attention.

Although he had never really trained the troops.

However, I do have some experience with the word "training the army".

After all, he had participated in military training a lot in his previous life since he was a child.

It was even worse when I was in college. Since the college implemented a military management system, I had to train for three full months right after I entered school.

However, he had performed well in his previous life, so he became the squad leader.

The instructor would let him lead the team when he was free on weekdays.

So we have experience in training the army.

"Forbidden."

These four words are the core of military training.

Nothing can better achieve these four words than the military training methods in previous lives.

"turn right!"

"To the left!"

It was just one morning.

Zeng Anmin had already begun to train these soldiers to move in unison when turning.

In fact, there are still some troubles.

But with Zeng Anmin's "Hey!"

After the boy told the story of his childhood experience of peeping at his neighbor taking a bath, no one dared to look down on Zeng Anmin anymore.

I was afraid that Zeng Anmin would yell "Hey!" at me.

"How about it?"

Zeng Anmin turned around and looked at Wu Qianfeng with raised eyebrows.

At this time, Wu Qianfeng was already dumbfounded.

Half day??!

The military formation has already turned?!

It's that simple?
The most difficult part of military formation is turning.

From a long formation to a short formation, from a circular formation to a square formation, every soldier must be extremely familiar with the military orders, and after a long time, he will give the corresponding commands reflexively.

If you want to transform a team from ordinary people into a team that can turn, it will take at least half a month, even if it is the fastest.

"This……"

Wu Qianfeng felt his throat was a little dry.

"You can enforce discipline and practice like this..."

He remembered clearly that the coach in front of him simply said:
"Use the heel of your left foot as the axis, use the toes of your right foot to exert force, straighten your legs and turn left..."

Then he saw the soldiers standing straight and turning around in one clean and neat movement!
"This is the movement while stopped. After two days, we will practice the movement while moving. It won't take more than half a month to get it right."

Zeng Anmin yawned and said:
"Remember the training methods I taught you, and practice them for the next few days."

"Call me when they are almost done practicing. I will then teach them the Mandarin Duck Formation."

As he spoke, Zeng Anmin raised his hand and walked towards the outside of the training ground.
"Wu Qianfeng, right? I'll come and have a drink with you later when I have time!"

After saying that, he walked out with a swagger.

Waving your sleeves will not take away a single cloud.

…………

"How much?? Two months??!"

When Tian Ji received the news from his personal soldiers.

The corners of my mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Send troops within two months?

Duke Tian Ji of Wei could not help but count on his fingers:

"It's only been two months since the formation of the army, and it's still the first training of the new army..."

"It takes at least half a month to get familiar with the military formation, and at least a month to master the transformation of the military formation and enforce the rules."

"So, if we want to train these 5,000 new recruits from Zeng Shilin to the point where they can practice the Mandarin Duck Formation... we only have half a month?"

Think of this.

Tian Ji’s head is a bit overwhelmed.

"No! I have to train the troops myself!"

The Duke of Weiguo took off his cloak without any hesitation and walked towards the parade ground.

However, when his figure appeared on the training ground.

His eyes slowly became dull.

"To the left!"

"turn right!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The two hundred soldiers in front of him turned in unison.

Wu Qianfeng’s strange command.

This made Duke Tian Ji of Weiguo a little confused.

He rubbed his eyes hard and looked at the two hundred soldiers.

That’s right!
Those are the two hundred people I gave to you!
No...it’s only been a while since we last met!

He stood there, watching Wu Qianfeng's figure while he was training his troops, his face suddenly flushed, his eyes flashing with a deep love for talent!
Wu Qianfeng!!

How come I didn't realize before that you actually have such ability to train troops? ! !
"Wu Qianfeng!"

Tian Ji took a deep breath, walked forward solemnly, and came to Wu Qianfeng's side.

When Wu Qianfeng heard Tian Ji's voice, he was shocked and stood at attention:

"I've met the father-in-law!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Did you train these 200 soldiers?!"

Tian Ji looked at Wu Qianfeng with heavy breathing.

Wu Qianfeng scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "No, the training method for the new army was taught by Coach Zeng."

???

Zeng Anmin? ?

Him again? ! !
"You mean, Zeng Anmin trained these new recruits in just one morning?!"

After hearing Wu Qianfeng's honest report.

Tian Ji just felt that this world seemed to have a kind of unreality.

The Duke basked in the sun for a long time before he came to his senses.

He violently pressed Wu Qianfeng's shoulder.

He looked at Wu Qianfeng with burning eyes and asked:
"Where are the Zeng An people??!"
