Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 359
The next day, Xu Qing woke up early, just because there was a wave of high-pitched slogans coming from the Xuanwu Gate.Putting on the official robe, Xu Qing picked up the mouthwash cup and started rinsing his mouth facing the school grounds. He wanted to make the group envious, but found that the soldiers were all outside and the school grounds were empty.

From the inner gate to the outer gate, there is not only the school field under the gate, but also a section of city wall on both sides. Xu Qing walked over there.But seeing outside the Xuanwu Gate, there were a total of forty phalanxes running there, and upon hearing the footsteps, Xu Qing felt that today was different.

I saw the soldiers chanting the sixteen-character slogan, running, most of their steps were on the spot, which sounded much more pleasing to the ear.

I don't know who saw Xu Qing appearing on the city wall, and the phalanxes slowly ran up to Xu Qing, one to six teams lined up in the first line, and hundreds of auxiliary soldiers lined up in the second line.When all the soldiers were in place, the six teams were led by Zhuge Yan, and they walked slowly to Xu Qing.

On the city wall, Xu Qing supported the city wall and inspected the three thousand soldiers and horses. Zhuge Yan shouted: "General, we are doing morning exercise training, please give instructions..."

Xu Qing thought in his heart, shouldn't he cough twice now, and then shout to continue training.But Xu Qing said: "Have all the soldiers had breakfast?"

Zhuge Yan cupped his hands and said: "General, the soldiers are already doing morning exercises after getting up, and they haven't eaten breakfast yet."

Xu Qing nodded and said: "Well, in one hour, everyone will go back to the camp to bury the pot for cooking. After one hour, those who should stand guard will stand guard, and those who have no task of standing guard will gather at this place. This general has something to tell everyone."

"Here!"

With the lesson Xu Qing taught them before, the six teams and Zhuge Yan hurriedly said hello.An hour is two hours, and this time is neither too much nor too little for rushing back to cook, eat, and come back again.

After about an hour and a half, Xu Qing also made breakfast, and when he arrived at the gate, all the soldiers had already arrived.It's just that there was still a team going to stand guard. Xu Qing didn't stand on the gate wall, but went out of the Xuanwu Gate and walked in front of the soldiers.

After coughing twice, Xu Qing shouted: "Starting today, everyone must practice military posture, lying like a bow, standing like a pine tree, walking in a gust of wind, sitting still like a bell. Your five teams are Come here, Zhuge Yan, go and call the guard over here, you go and guard the inner door."

Xu Qing asked the soldiers to rest where they were, ordered them to stand up, and then told them to stand at attention and take a break according to his memory. Of course, although this was a show, it was just good-looking, but it could exercise people's discipline and team awareness.What Xu Qing wants now is an army that obeys his command, not an army that can go into battle to kill the enemy. What Xu Qing wants is to add his own habits and thoughts to the entire army.As for the actual combat ability, Xu Qing plans to teach Huajiao first, and then go find it.

Furthermore, among the soldiers present, there is still a large part of Yuan Cong's forbidden army. In addition to previous training, their combat effectiveness is also at the upper-middle level of the Tang army.In the future, if a martial arts fighter is incorporated into the army, his combat power will still increase, but how can the martial arts fighter successfully add his force value to the whole as soon as possible? One is more old-fashioned, such as loving soldiers like children, just moving them.

Xu Qing didn't wear armor and didn't hold a knife. First, he demonstrated the appearance of standing at attention to the six teams.Then let the six teams stand upright and demonstrate the standard Datang military posture.However, Datang did not have a standard military posture at all.Xu Qing asked them to find a few good-looking soldiers and asked them to stand in the most energetic posture. Xu Qing corrected them one by one and created a standard by himself.

The equipment of the standing soldiers of the Tang Dynasty was a horizontal knife, an iron spear, and a bow and arrow. Xu Qing ordered them to straddle the horizontal knife on the left waist, put the quiver behind the right waist, hold the gun in the right hand, and straddle the bow and arrow diagonally on the left shoulder.The front and back sides of the armor are straight-cut scales, the front is perpendicular to the crotch, the back covers the waist, and is fastened at the waist with a rope.There are also helmets, iron, and the rest are cloth.

Xu Qing looked it over, and saw that the armor of these people in his camp was not particularly new, some of the iron sheets had fallen off, and a piece of the helmet was dented.Therefore, when I was teaching Lizheng, I asked a little bit how much this armor cost. When the team was returning, the ordinary soldiers got down, and it cost eight catties of iron. There is no additional price for simple things, but for complex things, you have to add extra money.

After Xu Qing did the math, it cost about three taels of silver for a whole body. This is too expensive, even if you take out the food money, it is not enough for these 3000 people to exchange.

Xu Qing asked again, if I remelted the old iron sheets, would the price be much cheaper?The team nodded immediately, this time the furnace was built, saving labor and labor and firewood, and it was much cheaper, as long as it cost one yuan and one catty of iron.Xu Qing did the math again, all the armors of the people present were remelted and made, only needing more than 2000 taels.Although there are still a lot, Xu Qing can still deduct them.

It's just that it depends on Xu Qing's reluctance to pay for it himself. The last time Xu Qing sold immortal wine, he made a fortune. Now he only needs to write a letter and go home, and he will definitely be able to remit a lot of money.

In front of the army formation, Xu Qing worked hard for more than half an hour, and finally taught two soldiers who could speak well and coordinate their bodies. Those teams could also stand up to the standard, but their mouths were relatively stupid.

Xu Qing shouted again: "All the bosses come to the front!"

But seeing forty team leaders standing in front of Xu Qing, Xu Qing looked at the equipment of the team leader, and found that their armor was not scales made of several iron sheets, but a whole piece of curved armor in front of them. , behind is the scale armor.The helmet is also a little more, and there is a red chicken feather on the top.

Xu Qing told the team members who had taught them to wait for someone to order them to be handed over to the team leader.In front of the army formation, the captain smiled maliciously, and took his team leader aside.

"Put your chest up! Lift your head up! Tighten your stomach!"

"The brain has been kicked by a donkey!
"Are you an old lady?"

Xu Qing's head is full of black lines, isn't that what he just cursed?Those people were so slow in learning the military posture, but they didn't expect to learn to swear so quickly.Xu Qing shook his head and went back to the mansion to drink tea.

As soon as he entered the house, Wei Xian came with a letter. Xu Qing opened it and saw that it was from home.I saw that from top to bottom, the five girls wrote a short paragraph by themselves.

"Xu Lang, Xu Wen has been very obedient these days, but he doesn't smile much when you're not here. Come to see you another day..."

"Brother Xu, the foundation of our new house has been laid, just waiting for the bricks to be laid up. To the east is..."

"Master, the one in my stomach is safe..."

"Bad man, what delicious food did you eat today, do you want to make some food for you? Sigh, thinking that you are in the palace..."

"Idiot, you are not allowed to ask someone to write a letter from home in the future!"
