Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Xu Zizhen really didn't know that the appointment of military generals during the Northern Song Dynasty was made by the Ministry of War, and the local government had no right to privately appoint generals and staff. The establishment of Shenjiying actually violated the current rules. In serious cases, it was treason Suspected.

It's just that the Xixia army is not far outside the pass right now, and the war may break out again at any time, so Wen Chengyan, Meng Du, and Zhong Shizhong discussed again and again, and finally took a temporary expedient measure. On the surface, it seems to be part of the Lanzhou defenders Came out to act as a special team, and named it Shenjiying with a nice name. As for Xu Zizhen, he was just a general who belonged to Wen Chengyan, and he was training some special things for Shenjiying temporarily. According to legend, it is actually invisible.

Xu Zizhen doesn't care what the rules are or not, since Wen Chengyan said that he is in control, then he is.

The pile of things in front of him was listed to Wen Chengyan when he left Jinchengguan yesterday. Lanzhou is located at the border of the two countries, and there are constant wars and small battles all year round, so there are still quite a lot of stocks in the military prison.

Xu Zizhen asked people to divide these things up, and each of the 500 people present had a share.

The armor is a brand-new Xuanjia, which is the configuration of standard heavy infantry, which is much heavier than the armor of ordinary cavalry; the bedding and camp bed are a set of hands, tied together and heavy; the weapons are light things, a Tang knife, and The one used by Xu Zizhen is almost the same. This knife was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also used for a while in the Northern Song Dynasty, so there are still many in the military prison.

These things together weighed more than fifty catties, Xu Zizhen put on a straight face, and shouted: "Put on the armor, put the quilt on the back, and put the knife on your shoulder!"

Whether it was the recruits or the horse thieves, they were all taken aback. They brought all these things with them?Even walking has become a problem, let alone fighting.

Before the matter was over, Xu Zizhen pointed to a pile of cloth bags on the ground and said, "Two bags per person, tie them around my ankles, and you are not allowed to take off the big strips when eating, sleeping, and bathing, otherwise you will be served by army sticks!"

Everyone didn't know what it was, so they stretched out their hands to pick it up, but they were stunned as soon as they picked it up. It was covered with a square stone brick, and it weighed about ten catties.

The recruits were okay, but the horse thieves immediately started yelling. These days, they and Xu Zizhen have been used to quarreling, so they don't know the difference between superiors and subordinates.

Xu Zizhen didn't get angry either, and let them quarrel there, with neither joy nor anger on their faces.

Seeing that something was wrong, Bu Fen quickly winked at the people below. No matter how lawless the horse thieves were, they were still in awe of Bu Fen, and immediately fell silent.

Xu Zizhen said coldly: "Whoever can't take it, get out of me as soon as possible! There are no cowards in Shenji Camp, what I want is five hundred men, men who can keep Lanzhou City! Can't bear this bit of suffering? Don't Damn, let me look down on you!"

The bottom is full of young and vigorous young men, who can stand up to his shock?Even dozens of people jumped up and shouted: "Who said we are cowards? No one in the Northwest is afraid of suffering!" As they spoke, they began to tie the two stone bricks to their legs, armor and bedding. They were all dressed and tied up.

As soon as someone took the lead, the others couldn't hold back their faces, and started learning one after another, fearing that if they were slow, they would be regarded as cowards. The horse thieves pretended to be much better than those recruits, and they didn't want to lag behind. One by one scrambling to wear these equipment.

Xu Zizhen's face looked better now, and when everyone was fully dressed, he said: "The Xixia army has temporarily retreated, but it may attack again at any time, and we don't have much time left, so in the next few days you You have to grit your teeth and be scolded, hold back even if you want to cry, and cry when the battle is over! Do you understand?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Understood!"

Xu Zizhen nodded in satisfaction. He wanted to train these 500 people according to the standards of special forces. This was just the beginning, so he had to stimulate them at all costs to tap their full potential.

The first is his so-called appetizer—five laps around the field, and the ten slowest runners will be fined two extra laps. This field is a corner of the barracks, about [-] steps square, and one lap is nearly three miles. But no one said anything, and no one wanted to be a coward in front of others.

Just finished the five laps, and did a hundred fist push-ups on the spot. This is the most common training method in the army of later generations. It not only exercises muscles, but also makes the fists harder with the help of the cold ground in the northwest winter. Those present No one has ever tried this kind of training method, besides, they still have dozens of catties of weight on their bodies, and most of them can't support it after less than half of it.

Xu Zizhen didn't force them, allowing them to rest without moving, but at the same time told them that they were not allowed to eat if they didn't finish.

People are like iron rice and steel, and the people present are all young men, all of them are of the age with the best appetite. After doing so much physical training all morning, their stomachs are already growling with hunger. I persevered and did it.

After finally stopping and resting, everyone made a hundred of them, and when Xu Zizhen was about to start dinner, he saw Xu Zizhen pulling a pretty and beautiful woman from the side, who was none other than Kou Qiaoyi.

Kou Qiaoyi has been following since the morning and has been seeing that the life in the army is so cruel, but she has never seen it in her life. Just when she was secretly feeling emotional, she was suddenly pulled into the field by Xu Zizhen. When I was confused, I heard Xu Zizhen pointing to a mountain not far away and said: "Are you hungry? Have you seen the mountain? This girl is in charge of your meals, but not here, but on the top of the mountain. Whoever wants to eat, let me go to the mountain to eat."

Everyone was exhausted and almost didn't even want to move, but Xu Zizhen's next words made them jump up again.

"Old rules, the ten slowest runners have nothing to eat!"

The audience was in an uproar, and those horse thieves couldn't bear it at first, and shouted: "Master Dutong, you practiced as soon as you practiced, and you still don't give us food, are you trying to play us to death?"

Xu Zizhen sternly yelled: "Being my soldier has to be like this. If I return that sentence, if you admit that you are a coward, you will get out immediately. I will never leave you!"

Without waiting for someone to object, a smirk suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, pointing at Kou Qiaoyi and asking: "Is this Qiaoyi girl from my family pretty?"

He changed the subject too quickly, and the people present couldn't keep up with his rhythm, but soon someone nodded and said: "Beautiful!"

Kou Qiaoyi is indeed a beauty, her black eyebrows are like willows and almonds, her eyes are like water, her skin is as white as snow and green silk is like a waterfall, not to mention that she is now in a military camp, a place where no women have been seen for hundreds of years.

The horse thieves and recruits had long seen Kou Qiaoyi standing beside Xu Zizhen, and many of them stared straight at her, but no one dared to ask. Now that Xu Zizhen automatically mentioned it, all eyes immediately focused on her.
