Great Tang princess

It has to be said that under the obvious task distribution system, the efficiency of work is quite high, and great progress can be seen every day in the training ground and dormitory building.

The dusty concrete building was built quickly. Although there were only more than 300 people, the work was not slow at all.

In addition, the output of brick kilns and cement plants is also sufficient, so there is basically no delay in the construction period.

There is no shortage of bamboo, and the training ground is the first to be done.

Regarding the roads up and down the mountain, Li Yuechen made two plans. One is to pave a cement road with seven turns and eight turns, and the slope should be as slow as possible to ensure that the horse-drawn carriages can be transported relatively smoothly in the future.

There is also the stairs, directly blast a road with gunpowder, and then use the stones blown up by gunpowder to pave the stairs.

Of course, with cement as a binder, the stairs made of these crushed stones are all the same height and length.

Another month had passed by the time the training ground and dormitory building were completed.

Li Yuechen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, thanks to the fact that it was only a three-story building, if it was higher, it would be impossible to get it done within a month with 300 people.

……

On the first day of August, Li Yuechen stood in the middle of the fully paved training ground, with his hands on his hips, and nodded very satisfied.

The training ground was done very well, and there was no crack on the ground, which fully met the standards set by myself.

Various training equipment such as bunkers, parallel bars, and balance beams beside the field are also well done and are ready for use.

Xiaodong trotted over from the side: "His Royal Highness, there is a letter from the governor of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers from the nearby states and counties have all gathered at the foot of the mountain."

"Well," Li Yuechen nodded, "How many people came in total?"

"His Highness, there are more than 800 people." Xiaodong replied.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Go down and tell them that the first test for entering the new army is to run up the mountain now, and those who fall behind will not be ranked!"

"Yes!" Xiaodong agreed, turned and left.

She doesn't have to go down the mountain to convey the order, she just needs to tell the soldiers in charge of the order to wave the flag on the mountain, and the people below will naturally convey the order.

After a while, brothers Li Shouli and Li Shouyi also ran out of the dormitory.

Both of them were wearing brand-new camouflage uniforms, and the epaulets seemed to have just been sorted out, and they were very energetic at first glance.

"Auntie, I heard that all the recruits have arrived." Li Shouli came over and turned his head to look. "It was a brigade-level unit at the beginning. How do grassroots officers choose?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking about this too." Li Shouyi also agreed, "Without junior officers, how can we train them?"

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "You two, didn't you think of this problem? Are you in a misunderstanding?"

"What does auntie mean? Tell me quickly." Li Shouyi didn't want to play charades.

But at this time Li Shouli had already reacted: "You are stupid, think about today."

"Today? The first day of August...ah!"

Li Shouyi suddenly thought of it: "On the first day of August, school starts! That aunt means..."

Seeing that his nephew had come to his senses, Li Yuechen smiled slightly, and instead of answering, looked up at the sky.

The afternoon sun illuminated the entire mountain, and the endless sky was covered by thick clouds, which also scattered the glare of the sun, making it not dazzling at all.

Li Yuechen's plan is very simple, that is to let the children of the royal family who have not yet graduated from the military academy come to play the role of grassroots officers first.

They also train with the army on weekdays, and they know all kinds of training at the grassroots level.

So even if you haven't graduated yet, you can still play the role of a grassroots officer.

When these recruits are almost trained, they will naturally be able to select officers from them.

After all, it is not too much for people in the royal family to have some privileges, and the people below will not say anything.

Rather, this method can also allow the children of the royal family to truly integrate into the army for the first time, and feel the life with the soldiers in the future.

It is not a bad thing for the soldiers or the children of the royal family.

……

The road up the mountain is very long, and it will take at least an hour for these soldiers to run up the mountain.

Li Yuechen was not idle either, and took advantage of this time to tell the brothers some experience in recruit training.

Don't look at her as a marshal who seems to be very relaxed now, but when the army was just reformed, she was also too big to die.

It is common for recruits in this era to be unable to distinguish between left and right, and this alone is enough to make people feel dizzy.

And listening to the aunt tell about her own deeds when she trained recruits, the two nephews also felt their scalps go numb, and it was the first time that they felt the difficulty of leading soldiers.

……

After the three of them chatted for about half an hour, they finally saw the first figure at the entrance of the training ground.

This is a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he hasn't even started to grow a beard on his immature face.

The height is about 1.6 meters five, and he doesn't look strong. The whole person is thin and thin, but he looks good.

This person ran all the way into the training ground, and there was no one to be seen behind him for the time being, obviously leaving everyone else far behind.

Although I haven't seen the princess before, just look at the only tall woman on the training ground wearing a bright red round-neck robe, and look at the female guards around me who are wearing hakama pleats, and you can guess it. her identity.

He came to a stop not far in front of him, calmed his breath slightly and then respectfully saluted: "Little man...has met His Highness!"

"Excuse me!" Li Yuechen smiled and raised his hand slightly, "You are so far away from others, your body looks good!"

"Thank you... Your Highness for the compliment. The villain was born as a hunter, and he has been running in the mountains since he was a child..."

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "Okay, not bad! Do you have a name?"

"Return to Your Highness, the villain's name is Chai Ergou."

Similar names are basically at the level of bad streets in this era, just like Zhang Wei and Wang Qiang in the future.

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to a humble name to support them, so the names of children in ordinary families are basically not pleasant.

"Okay, let's go to the side to rest." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "By the way, I would like to remind those who come after you, don't sit down immediately after running, you have to walk slowly for a quarter of an hour before you can sit down!"

"Yes, don't worry, Your Highness, the villain knows!" Chai Ergou agreed with a smile.

Then the guard on the side scooped water from the bucket with a gourd ladle and handed it to him: "Don't drink it, rinse your mouth!"

Chai Ergou thanked him, took it and rinsed his mouth, and then walked on the spot to relieve his tired legs.

Even though he was a wild boy who had been running on the mountains since he was a child, he still felt a little unbearable after such a trip, let alone the gang of soldiers who had no training at all on weekdays.

In fact, if it was during Taizong's period, the government soldiers would still train every time it was slack.

But since the Gaozong Dynasty, due to various droughts, coupled with some social problems such as land annexation, many soldiers have been unable to continue to organize training.

Li Yuechen naturally knew this too, so he asked Chai Ergou a few more questions.

Unexpectedly, I saw a good seedling from Orion as soon as I came here. Naturally, there is no such thing as stamina. In the future, I can consider recruiting into a special reconnaissance battalion.

……

After waiting for a short time, the figures behind finally appeared in the field of vision one after another.

After coming over to salute, each of them took a sip of water to rinse their mouths, and then walked on the training ground, exercising their muscles.

While walking, groups of three or four gathered together, discussing the three-story dusty concrete dormitory building not far away, and the flat concrete floor under their feet.

The periphery of the concrete floor is a circular runway. In order to prevent slipping to the greatest extent, the runway is not a smooth concrete floor, but a layer of small crushed stones.

Such a floor is more slip-resistant than a flat concrete floor, and it can also drain quickly after it rains.

The training field in the middle is only suitable for standing in the military posture and training queues, but because it is too flat, it is easy to slip.

Li Shouli was holding a small notebook in his hand, and was using a pencil to write down the names of the people who arrived ahead.

Those who arrived earlier showed good physical strength, so they planned to be assigned to the special reconnaissance battalion from the beginning.

Of course, in the follow-up training, the bottom positions will be continuously eliminated, and then the top players from other battalions will be filled in, so that the team can finally take shape.

Li Yuechen next to him couldn't help but nodded, not to mention, this attitude is worthy of recognition.

But Li Shouyi's position was more troublesome. He was in charge of education in the army, teaching them to read, write, and do ideological education.

In today's day and age, this is rather troublesome.

……

After everyone arrived, the time had come to dusk.

The setting sun scattered by the clouds evenly sprinkled on the training ground, making the newly built training ground seem to have a shining feeling.

Seeing the government soldiers gathered in groups of three or four, some were still walking, some were curiously looking left and right, and some were just sitting on the ground and talking to each other.

Li Shouli closed the notebook in his hand, and suddenly shouted: "Everyone! Assemble!"

Although he is only less than 20 years old, he has been in the military academy for a long time, and he already has the style of a soldier.

With such a loud roar, the soldiers present at the scene immediately came to him and began to assemble.

Although he has not received much training, he still understands the most basic phalanx.

But I understand that I understand, after all, I haven't trained deliberately, so things like pushing and cursing each other continue one after another.

If it weren't for the princess watching here, I'm afraid it would not be impossible to fight on the spot.

And Li Shouli didn't speak, just frowned and watched the group of recruits start to line up in a mess.

Anyone can see that he is not in a good mood now.

The recruits also know that now is not the time to make trouble, and they all want to perform well.

So even if you get into shoving and shoving with other people around you, you will not have an attack for the time being, but secretly write down the appearance of the other person, thinking about the future.

On the other hand, Li Shouyi turned his head slightly and looked at his aunt Li Yuechen with raised eyebrows.

There was a serious question in those eyes: Was the aunt who met the same kind of recruits back then?
Then Li Yuechen nodded affirmatively, gave her an encouraging smile, and asked him to work hard.

I am afraid that only Li Yuechen himself can understand the discomfort he experienced back then. Looking back now, he still occasionally couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

The powerlessness brought about by the gap in cognition is actually quite hopeless.Li Yuechen didn't know how he should explain it to them, this can only be followed by letting them feel it slowly.

……

In the end, it took more than a quarter of an hour for everyone to form a square formation, which made Li Shouli clenched his fist subconsciously.

Not to mention the Qingdao military camp, even if you are in a military academy that is much more relaxed than the army, such a gathering time is unimaginable, but it really happened here, it is incredible.

But he also knew that these people were recruits and had not received training, so they couldn't lose their temper here.

After taking two deep breaths, he shouted loudly: "The last one hundred will be able to go back after dinner!"

"Please give me another chance, my lord!" A mansion soldier suddenly said, "The villain's family is poor, my sister can't even make up the dowry, and the whole family is pointing at the villain..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other soldiers who were eliminated naturally also begged.

"Shut up!" Li Shouli shouted, and the noisy voices in front of him suddenly fell silent.

"Although we were eliminated this time, the army will still recruit people next year, so come back then!" Li Shouli waved his hand, confirming the decision.

He had already spoken, and the soldiers in front of him didn't dare to say anything more, and calmed down obediently.

Then Li Shouli arranged for them to line up to the entrance of the cafeteria, turned his head and yelled at them, "Listen to me! Take as much as you eat! If you can't finish the food and don't dare to leave it, you will be punished by military law!"

He is very aware of the style of the army, and now he has fully entered the state.

The government soldiers agreed in unison, then entered the cafeteria and began to allocate seats.

The first thing they saw was the slogan hanging in the cafeteria, but they were basically illiterate, so they couldn't understand what was written on it.

Li Shouli didn't bother to explain. Anyway, education will be popularized in the army, and they will naturally understand after the official training begins.

After dinner, Li Shouli rode a horse himself, followed the carriages that sent the eliminated soldiers back down the mountain, and sent them down the mountain.

……

When they were about to leave, those eliminated soldiers sitting in the carriage still looked at the barracks that had only been here for the first day reluctantly.

Li Shouli, who was on horseback, looked at these soldiers and said loudly: "You guys, maybe you just have bad luck. If you really want to join the new army, come back next year!"

After speaking, he pulled the rein and turned back to the mountain.

The soldiers behind him looked at his back, and the shock in their hearts was naturally indescribable.

Unexpectedly, a royal family actually sent them down the mountain in person, and even said so many words to them.

Such a scene can be regarded as breaking their three views, and at the same time, many people secretly made up their minds that they must come again next year!
Let's not talk about those illusory things, just say that today's meat porridge is enough to become the motivation for many people to join the army.

If you can drink this kind of minced meat porridge every day, even if you die in battle one day, it will be worth it!
