back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 28 Devil Training
Although Di Qing is old, he is full of energy.This voice directly made those officers silent.Di Qing said with a straight face, "There is no discipline at all. Is it the same for you in the army?"

An officer said: "Di Jiaoxi, we..."

Di Qing shouted: "Before speaking, you have to call for a report. The old man allows you to speak before you can speak. Do you understand the rules?"

The officer's mind was quick, and he immediately said, "Report!"

Di Qing said: "Say!"

"We are in the army, and there is no such rule..."

Di Qing sneered and said: "Here, what the old man said is the rules. It's too late for you to quit now. If you don't want to be dealt with by the military law, you should train honestly. Here, the old man's words are orders, understand? "

Those officers are all passionate youths, where have you seen such unkind people?One by one clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.

Just when the relationship between the two sides was tense, a sentence came from a distance: "The emperor is here..." The officers were stunned: "What, the emperor is here, how could..."

Not long after, Lu Chengqi was already dressed in purple robes, and came to these officers, frowned, and said, "Are these my army?"

Di Qing also knew that these officers certainly did not meet the requirements.He bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, I have not started training yet..."

Lu Chengqi stopped Di Qing's words, and said in a deep voice: "What kind of army are you? You don't even listen to the commander's order. What kind of soldiers are you! You, come and tell me, what is the bounden duty of a soldier?"

The officer who was named hesitated for a moment, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I don't know..."

Lu Chengqi said loudly: "The bounden duty of a soldier is to obey orders! From now on, you are no longer officers, you are a student of my Royal Military Academy, a soldier, and your boss is General Di! Go, give me Run five laps around this playground, and the last one will run three extra laps!"

The officers didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately fought and ran around the playground.Lu Chengqi called Di Qing to him, and criticized them: "These people have military merits and are rebellious. General Di, you are too kind to them. There is a saying that kindness does not command soldiers. They endure hardships during training. If you go to the battlefield, there will be less bloodshed. Don't pity them, and teach them to death! I have already ordered the household department, you don't have to worry about the food, the nutrition will definitely keep up."

Di Qing was also angry. After all, he was considered to be a high-ranking man, but he had no prestige in the army.Fortunately, Lu Chengqi's arrival supported the scene for him, otherwise, just like that, a bad thing would cause the camp to explode.Di Qing secretly made up his mind to train these people into soldiers who absolutely obey orders, otherwise his old face would be lost.

Not long after, the five laps were finished, and the last place was reached by three people at the same time, so Lu Chengqi didn't punish them anymore.He took the whip from the waiter, shook it vigorously in the air, and there was a crisp sound, and at the same time he shouted: "Stand up, anyone who dares to lie down, my whip will not show mercy!"

Those officers who fell on the ground, who dared not listen, immediately turned over and stood up.Lu Chengqi shouted: "From tall to short, line up in five rows, and I'll give you a cup of tea time, hurry up!"

Those military officers had never seen such an order, but who dared to disobey Lu Chengqi's order, the queue was already lined up in a short time.Lu Chengqicai said: "Remember your positions, Teacher Di will whistle and gather from time to time. If you don't arrive within half a quarter of an hour, everyone will run ten laps. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

Lu Chengqi looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Very well, I will tell you about your tasks for this year now."

Those officers couldn't help swallowing when they heard that they would stay in this military academy for a year, but they didn't dare to interrupt Lu Chengqi's speech, only to hear Lu Chengqi continue to say: "There is nothing here, but there are bricks and wood materials. You have to build a house by yourself. After the house is built, your training will start. Your courses are drawn up by me personally. During the day, you will march in formation, physical training, assault movement practice, weapon drill, riding and archery practice; at night It is character recognition, tactical learning, map work, logistics support..."

Those officers stared wide-eyed. They had never attended a private school, and they were all rough and rough. They didn't know a single word. Where did they see such a request?Lu Chengqi said: "Among them, the ones in the front are the ones that you have to give me when you return to the army and train the whole army according to the prescription. And the ones in the back are what I value most. I don't need an illiterate general. If you can’t learn, I’ll send you home instead of staying in the army. I’m not afraid to tell you honestly, whether you are an officer or a pawn, you must teach me how to read. If you still can’t read after a year, Let me go home one by one!"

Speaking of this, Lu Chengqi handed a small book to Di Qing, and said, "General Di, please find some literacy masters to teach them. This is my training plan, and it must be strictly implemented. I have no doubts about this Royal Military Academy." If you have great expectations, whether the army can be reformed depends on how well you teach!"

Hearing this, Di Qing said decisively: "Your Majesty, even if the old minister is alive, he will definitely complete this task!"

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "Don't work too hard. You are the chief teacher, and your subordinates need a little. As long as you speak, you can dispatch the people in the military department as you like. You are my treasure, and I won't allow you to just fall here like this , I still need you to bring out more qualified officers!"

Di Qing was so moved that he burst into tears, and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to you, the old minister can only repay you with death!"

Lu Chengqi couldn't see this the most, so he ran away quickly, saying: "General Di, you should train hard, I'm waiting for your good news! Let's go, let's go back to the palace!"

As soon as he returned to the Chuigong Palace, the cabinet handed over the urgent report just submitted. Lu Chengqi looked at it and murmured: "The Ministry of Industry just exploded, what happened? Aren't they making fireworks for the Spring Festival? How could it explode? Is it? Could it be..."

Lu Chengqi said: "Come here, let's drive to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry!"

On Chang'an Avenue, the onlookers were already crowded. Fortunately, the Supervision Department was able to ensure that the Ministry of Industry was not affected.Only then was Lu Chengqi able to enter the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, looking at the ruined walls that had just been burned by fire, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry, Lu Chengqi frowned and said, "What's going on? Huang Xishi, come here and tell me!"

Huang Xishi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is an old man who has been in the Ministry of Industry for more than 30 years. He is a veteran of the two dynasties. Lu Chengqi usually respects him, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.

Huang Xishi smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, this is caused by Tang Shilang, he was almost injured himself..."

At this time, a man who was so smoked that he was comparable to Bao Gong knelt down on the ground and said, "The guilty minister Tang Xun, you deserve death for disturbing Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi glanced at the destroyed office of the Ministry of Industry, frowned and said: "Not only is there a fire, but there are also traces of explosions, Tang Xun, tell me, what are you doing?"

Tang Xun bowed his head lower, and said: "The guilty minister just wanted to find a more beautiful fireworks, so as to pray for His Majesty, but unexpectedly, there was an explosion..."

Lu Chengqi's eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean, are you making fireworks?"

Tang Xun said: "Return to Your Majesty, the guilty minister is indeed making fireworks."

Lu Chengqi ordered the left and right: "Immediately block the surrounding area, and no one is allowed to enter. Non-officials of the Ministry of Industry, immediately leave the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. If anyone approaches, I will be put in prison!"

The Supervision Department immediately carried out this task, and Lu Chengqi walked into the room that had just been destroyed, but was held back by Huang Xishi, begging: "Your Majesty, no, it's dangerous inside!"
