Chapter 147 - Military Training 3

"How can His Majesty be with these vulgar soldiers?" Zhao Chen had already walked to the front of Li Gang and Wang Shu, but Li Gang was still in disbelief as he asked.

The two of them were sizing up Zhao Chen, only to see that Zhao Chen had already donned a long robe, only, Zhao Chen's face was covered in perspiration, Zhao Chen's hair was tied behind his back, his expression looked extremely casual and casual! If they weren't wearing the dragon robe, they would have thought that this wasn't the emperor but an ordinary soldier!

"They are not 'vulgar' soldiers! They are all soldiers of my Song Dynasty. They fought wars for my Song Dynasty and bled profusely. Zhao Chen laughed.

"This humble subject has misspoken!" Li Gang anxiously said.

Wang Shu, however, saw gratitude from the eyes of the Expeditionary soldiers s behind him!

"What brings you here?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we want Master Li Ruoshui to return to the Middle Han Area, to be the official in history! Moreover, we haven't seen His Majesty for a long time, so we didn't know how His Majesty was doing, so we came here to take a look! " Li Gang said.

"Li Ruoshui is my teacher, he is an upright and honest man, and as the official in the history of Imperial City, I am naturally very satisfied! However, if he became the imperial history of Chengdu, Sichuan Xuanfu, who will assume the role? Sichuan has a large population and a flourishing business, so its position is very important. We can't just ignore this place! " Zhao Chen said.

"Your majesty, this humble subject and Wang Shu have been discussing for several days, and they all felt that Zhao Kai could take up the post of herald in Sichuan!" Li Gang said.

"Zhao Kai? What position is he in now? " Zhao Chen thought about it and said.

He did not recall the existence of this person and did not know his background. Therefore, he asked.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Kai is now a judge of Sichuan Transshipment Court. Every year, he is responsible for shipping the silk cloth from all the provinces to all parts of the country! This person was extremely easy to manage. When the Great Emperor was in charge, this person was already very famous! After Master Li Ruoshui went to the Chengdu Mansion, he was also Master Li's important assistant! And we have observed that this man is very clean and has never been corrupt, so we believe that he can take up the post of the herald of Sichuan province! " Li Gang said.

"Then, let him go to the Middle Han Area first. We have to take a good look at him and ask him, then we can decide whether or not we want him to be envoy from Sichuan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes!" This humble subject will order him to come to Middle Han Area immediately after we return! " Li Gang said.

"Alright!" Zhao Chen nodded.

"Your Majesty, you have been in the army for more than a month! Although important matters of the court were also sent to the army, time was still delayed! Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that you should return to the Middle Han Area! " Wang Shu said.

Zhao Chen shook his head, and said: "I am still unable to return to the Middle Han Area!"

Wang Shu asked: "Why?"

Zhao Chen said: "The Imperial Guards are really too weak! In this chaotic world, the army is exceptionally important. With the army in front of us, not only will we not be able to recover our territory, we will not even be able to protect our Middle Han Area and our Chuan Shu! Therefore, I must stay in the army for a while longer, and train this troop well! "

Wang Shu was startled. He looked around and whispered: "Your Majesty, didn't you come to the army to subdue the army's morale? I think the Imperial Guards have already approved of His Majesty and will not rebel anymore. Don't worry, Your Majesty! "

Zhao Chen laughed and said: "You have truly underestimated us! I did not come here just to subdue the morale of the troops! I have to train an invincible army myself! The Nvzhen only had a few hundred thousand people, and their forces were only over a hundred thousand. They were invincible! We, the Han Chinese have a population of one hundred thousand, and a million troops, but we are not their match. One of the most important reasons for this is because our army is too weak! As long as our army can be raised a little bit, and our army of a hundred thousand can beat their army of ten thousand, then our army of one million can defeat their army of a hundred thousand! We don't lack people, we lack outstanding soldiers! I want to train tens of thousands of outstanding soldiers for the Song Dynasty! "

As for the so called "subjugating the morale of the troops", Zhao Chen naturally had this goal as well! He stayed in the army for a month, training with the soldiers every day. After training every day, he would eat, drink, and talk with the soldiers. At night, he would even go to the soldiers' barracks to sleep with them! What he had done had moved this army to its limits! Although this army used to belong to Zhe Keqiu, but Zhe Keqiu didn't have to worry about training, eating, and sleeping with them, it was difficult for ordinary soldiers like them to even meet Zhe Keqiu once! Any one of the soldiers would know who was stronger between the two! At this point, not to mention Zhe Keqiu being dead, even if Zhe Keqiu was still alive, he could not possibly take this army away! Every single one of the soldiers in this army were loyal to Zhao Chen!

Thinking about it, Zhao Chen could not help but reveal a smile!

Wang Shu was startled, and asked: "How does Your Majesty train the Imperial Guard?"

Zhao Chen said: "You have stayed in the army camp for a while, of course you understand! In this month, General Yue and I have worked on the infantry exercise code, so you can take a good look! "

Wang Shu said: "This humble subject will definitely pay my respects!"

Zhao Chen laughed, and said: "You guys stay in the army camp first! I will continue to train with the soldiers! "Don't leave today. We will discuss political matters with you later tonight!"

That afternoon, Li Gang and Wang Shu stayed in the military camp. They discovered that the sounds of training were everywhere in the military camp! Every general and every soldier was training! There were neat squads of soldiers assassinating each other everywhere!

Li Gang, Wang Shu felt as if they were in a dream! Amongst the two of them, one was an important official in the imperial court, and the other was Li Gang who had been an official for many years since the age of Song Huizong. They had seen many armies, but they had never seen an army that trained like the one in front of them!

The morale of this army was far beyond any army they had ever seen!

"Even our Jingyuan Army has never trained like this! The weather was so hot, all the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army had to rest! Wait until the sky is cold, then train! " Wang Shu said.

"I heard the soldiers from the Imperial Guard say that they were training every day. It's unbelievable!" Li Gang said.

"One day!" Back then, Jingyuan Army only taught him for five days! Even so, if it rained, if the wind blew, if the weather was too hot, it would stop! If Jingyuan Army dares to teach them a lesson every day, the soldiers will not agree to it first! " Wang Shu said.

"Seems like there is something special about the Emperor's training!" Li Gang said.

The two of them were shocked, if Zhao Chen knew how to endure, had outstanding schemes, and could kill Zhe Keqiu in one go, stabilizing the situation in Middle Han Area, they would find it unbelievable, but now, Zhao Chen knew how to train the soldiers, it made them feel that it was even more unbelievable! They felt that the emperor was like a man descended from heaven. He knew everything and knew everything! Such an emperor had never appeared before, let alone in the Song Dynasty!

"I want to see the infantry exercise code that His Majesty wrote!" Wang Shu said.

He was originally from the military, so he was very interested in the ways of training soldiers. Seeing that Zhao Chen seemed to be very confident in the so-called infantry exercise code, he became curious!

Immediately, Li Gang and Wang Shu arrived at Yue Fei's room, and here they saw the written book called infantry exercise code!

This infantry exercise code listed out all the common training programs, and completely standardized all of the common training programs! The purpose and meaning of every training project was written inside! In the past, there was a team formation training during the military's practice of array formations, but at that time, the team formation training was very rough, as long as they could reach the designated location within the specified time, and this infantry exercise code formation training had a set time and place for them, as long as they could buy any single step, maintaining the formation while moving forward, all sorts of things like two people forming a line, three people forming a line, etc. There were many training programs such as walking training, running training, emergency marching training, mountain training, and so on. They had never seen these programs before, and the effects of these training programs on the body and stamina were written inside! How was one to prepare for and attack at the same time? When one saw an order, one would have to rush towards the enemy with courage, boldness, and the momentum needed to overwhelm the enemy! After he was left alone, he would write about how the soldiers had gathered together, how they had cooperated with each other, and so on.

All the projects were completely standardized. Each project was divided into several movements, and the key points of each movement were written inside. The usual training sessions had to be done in accordance with these movements! In the future, this was a very normal thing! From the moment the Germans became the strongest army in the world, all the countries in the world followed the German method to train their troops, but in this era, all of this was unimaginable!

In addition to the training program, there were also combat programs! Before the battle, how were the military generals supposed to boost their morale? During battle, if they were in the mountains, how would they find a way out and communicate with their allies! If it was night time, how to hide himself, how to contact them, and so on were all written inside! What to do with all sorts of situations is written in it!

The last part of the infantry exercise code mentioned the importance of spiritual energy in the army! Military generals must often educate their soldiers so that they know who to fight for and why! In the past, the citizens of ancient China didn't want to be soldiers. Soldiers were considered lowly jobs, the soldiers only followed the generals and went up together, but at most, they were loyal to a general and rarely had any thoughts of fighting for their country, their families, or their citizens. On the other hand, Zhao Chen wanted to instill all of these thoughts into the citizens.

At the end of the infantry exercise code, it showed that the book had not been completely written, and there were still many areas that needed to be added or revised!

The two of them could see the spirit in the air. They had never thought that there were so many ways to train their soldiers!

Until Zhao Chen came in, they were still focused on him!
