Chapter 212 Water Training
The frame was parked in front of the gate of General Xuanwu's Mansion.

The father and son got out of the car, looked up at the imperial seal of Emperor Changxing on the plaque, and remained silent.

For more than 600 years, the Ren family has flourished, and there are many outstanding descendants, but few of them have achieved real achievements.

The Ren Ning in front of him counts as one, but unfortunately he is no longer their Ren family.

Just as the father and son were thinking about it, Yingpan who got the news hurried out to welcome them into the mansion.

Of course, he walked through the small door next to the main door.

After more than half an hour, the Taishi Mansion and his party left with smiles on their faces.

"Advance and retreat are disciplined, neither humble nor overbearing, and generous." The old grand master is very satisfied with Yingpan, "This kid is quite discerning, but he married a wife who can support the family."

Ren Yi nodded in agreement, "It's just..."

It's just a girl from Xiliang.

The old master also fell silent.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the idea that people who are not of our clan must have different hearts has always been deeply rooted.

After returning to Taishi Mansion, night fell, and the old Taishi was still full of energy after a busy day.

He immediately planned a courtyard as a school, and then recruited a hundred boys and girls aged four to eight from the home-born children to be students, and quickly started the experiment of pinyin literacy.

Compared with the success of pinyin literacy, the "Windmill Communication Method" submitted by Wei Junqian has disappeared since entering Xingji City.

Emperor Changxing looked at the opened memorial on the dragon case, and his head swelled up and down.

On the left is the "Windmill Communication Method" sent by Wei Junqian. The more you look at him, the more excited you become; on the right is the military information from the four western counties.

However, no matter where they are, they are asking for people and money.

People, there are so many clouds.

But money, the current treasury is really not much.

boom!
Emperor Changxing slapped the fold on the right hard.

"This group of county lieutenants with corpses and vegetarian meals can't even calm down some small rioters. What's the use of them!"

"I can't bear it..."

Chang Lu next to him continued to help with the massage, "Your Majesty, don't get angry over trivial matters, the most important thing is to take care of the dragon's body."

He grinned, "Besides, there are still many national pillars among the thirty county captains. For example, the four county captains in the south performed very well when they attacked Nanfeng."

Emperor Changxing's face looked better.

The old eunuch couldn't help but suggest again: "Your Majesty must be tired after reading so many papers. How about we rest first?"

"Go to rest before the memorial is finished, do you want the censors to impeach me as a fool?" Emperor Changxing gave him a hard look, "Besides, where should I go to rest?"

Chang Lu was dumbfounded.

The harem and imperial garden are full of crying concubines who are worried about their sons, which is very annoying.

Concubine Qing's Qingyun Palace was not disturbed, so it was a good place to go.

It's just that the coffin of Duke Laozhen has not been able to be sent back to the imperial capital for a long time, and the urgently needed doctors, medicinal materials, and food for the Yanzhen Fortress have not been delivered to the imperial court for a long time.

At this time, even Emperor Changxing felt ashamed to let him go.

In the south, Guangxin County, Yingshan Daying.

After Ren Ning gave Wei Junqian the pinyin and windmill communication method, he ignored it.

In addition to the daily training, he proposed to add a subject to the forward soldiers.

Battle on water.

It's just that there is no big river for training near Yingshan Daying, so everyone has to go to the Hushou River outside the old town of Nanguan first.

By the river, Ren Ning stood there wet, looking thoughtfully at the soldiers thumping in the river.

The weather in Guangxin was sweltering, and it was undoubtedly a very happy thing to take a bath in the river, but it would be nothing if there were some heavy sandbags tied to the body.

But there were no objections from the soldiers, and everyone was working hard to control their bodies.

When he first arrived at Guangxin, Ren Ning proposed mountaineering training with weights.

At the very beginning, the soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion practiced with frowning faces full of complaints.However, in the battle of Hushouguan, everyone saw the effect of this training.

Now weight-bearing mountaineering has been promoted not only among the main force of the legion, but also among the descendants of Xingluo's hometown and Zhennan Pass.

It is precisely because of this experience that when Ren Ning proposed water training again, no matter whether it was the forward general Chu Jinding or the army general Wei Junqian, he agreed without hesitation.

Lei Er in the water yelled loudly: "Old Ren, come down and continue playing."

"That's right," Xiao Gang agreed, "The sun is too high on the shore, but it's still cool in the water."

Ren Ning laughed.

Although there is a big river in Xingluo County that connects Yingchuan County, most of the Xingluo soldiers are landlubbers.Lei Er is one of the few people who can move freely in the water and has the strength to tease Ren Ning out loud.

The most important thing is that the water training has just started, and the sandbags on the soldiers may not be as heavy as their clothes.

Moreover, the Hushou River, which is used for training, is not in a hurry. After a period of adaptation, most of the new Xingluo people can stand firm in the water by relying on foreign objects.

As for the Second Young Master Xiao, in the past, he often went on mountain tours with his buddies from Xingji City, and he is a good swimmer.

Ren Ning shook his head and waved to them: "Lei Er Xiao Gang, you guys come up first."

After all, they were in the army, and the two talked nonchalantly, but they didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly went ashore.

"What's the matter, General?"

"How long can you hold your breath?" Ren Ning asked directly.

The two looked at each other, although Lei Er was puzzled, he still replied: "It's not a long time. It's probably around two hundred."

"Subordinates may take longer," Xiao Gang said with a chuckle, "I tried it before, and I can close the number around 310."

Ren Ning smiled: "A count of two hundred or three hundred is indeed a bit short. If I make a method that allows people to stay underwater for an hour or even a day, do you want to try it?"

"Think!" The eyes of the two people brightened.

As professional soldiers, they immediately understood the role of it.

If there is such a way, it will be extremely useful whether sending people across the river or hiding in the water to ambush in the future.

Ren Ning nodded, turned around and waved.

The personal guards were familiar with his temperament, and quickly brought the pen and paper over.

With cooked rubber in hand, there are so many things Ren Ning can do now.If he wanted to, he probably could make a submarine.

It's just that there is not much iron in this era, and various craftsmanship are extremely backward, so many ideas have to be shelved.

Ren Ning drew a simple breathing mask with a long tube attached to it.

"The mask can be worn on the face for underwater breathing. The hose is hollow and will float all the way to the surface to pass the air down."

"That's it?" Lei Er and the two were a little disappointed.

They can swim, and naturally they have seen many ways to breathe underwater.Many people directly cut bamboo or reeds to get through the middle, or they can dive underwater and stay for a while.

cough!
Xiao Gang coughed and rescued Ren Ning.

"The general's mask is better. The reed is too short, and the water may be found by people; the bamboo is too heavy, and it is not practical to use as a breathing rod."

Ren Ning gave him a strange look, but did not explain aloud.

With the craftsmanship of this era, the simpler the better, and he was also a soldier in his previous life, so he was familiar with various situations.

Using bamboo or reed as a breathing pole can only be used when it is expedient, and it is not practical in the long run.

Unless the lower end is kept in the mouth, because of the principle of the communicator, as long as the water from the mouth is loosened, the whole bamboo pole or reed can be filled in an instant.

As for holding the hard bamboo in your mouth all the time, it's okay for a short time, but it's not so good for a long time.
