Chapter VII Military Training(1/2)
There is a polo field next to the palace. It is said that it was built during the reign of Shi Chonggui. Later emperors were not so elegant, so it became a school ground for the palace guards.
Guo Wei asked people to set aside half of it for Xu Xian. It was almost as big as a football field and was enough for more than a hundred people.
When Xu Xian brought everyone here, he didn't expect that Guo Wei was already waiting here in casual clothes. Xu Xian quickly went forward to pay homage. Guo Wei stared at the messy group of people and said: "These are the soldiers you recruited. Look at
Not good. Let them prepare a team and let me go over and take a look, without revealing my identity."
Xu Xian immediately went back and asked everyone to line up. This group of people had probably never queued up in their old lives. After a long time, they were all confused and scattered.
Guo Wei couldn't wait and came over. He patted A Liang on the shoulder first and said, "You have a good body and a good young man. What's your name?"
A Liang replied: "Go back to Shangguan, the villain Wu Liang!"
"The first name is a good name and the surname is also a good surname. It doesn't sound good when put together." Guo Wei took a step forward and punched Dakui on the chest, "It's strong enough, why are you a soldier!"
Dakui grinned widely and replied: "Be a soldier and steal money to marry your wife, and then become a soldier and steal money after you have a baby!"
"Haha... I have an idea!"
Guo Wei glanced at Li Mobai again, "Scholar? I'm afraid you won't be able to earn a living if you look so wretched..." But when he caught a glimpse of the even more wretched Zao Zi, he sighed, "It's true that there are people outside the world and there is a world outside the world!"
When passing by Luo Fubang, Guo Wei stopped again and said, "He is also a good young man. Why do you want to be a soldier?"
Luo Fubang said in a sonorous and forceful voice: "The villain Shangguan Luo Fubang joins the army to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty!"
"Ambitious!" Guo Wei touched Jiubao's head, "How old are you this year?"
Jiubao sniffed back and replied: "I'm fourteen, but my father forces me to lift stone locks and chop wood piles every day. I also practiced Taizu Changquan with Captain Xu, so my skills are quite good."
Guo Wei looked at the calluses on Jiubao's hands and said, "Don't tell me, it should take a while."
When he saw Muggles, even though Guo Wei had seen a lot, his eyes widened. Xu Xian's heart was also in his throat. He had repeatedly told Muggles to keep those words in their stomachs.
As expected, Muggle didn't say anything but pointed to the tattoo on Guo Wei's neck, "That little bird is beautiful, I want it too!"
Xu Xian's heart went cold. It would be better to just chop off Guo Wei's head. He was about to explain to Guo Wei, but Guo Wei patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and laughed: "Xu Xian, you are really capable. There are only more than a hundred people here."
The number one is actually Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are all kinds of strange people and strangers."
After Guo Wei finished speaking, he turned around and strode away. Xu Xian trotted to follow, "Your Majesty, it seemed like you were saying something sarcastic just now?"
Guo Wei stopped and snorted: "It's not easy for you to still hear that I'm saying something sarcastic! Yesterday I met Grand Master Feng, and because of what he said, the heavenly soldiers came to wait for me after the morning court, but you gave me
Look at stuff like this.”
"Jade can only be made into tools after being polished, and ore can be made into refined iron after being tempered. Please give me some time, Your Majesty." Guo Wei gave Xu Xian a small official in the team. Although it was not likely to be a high-level official, he did not need to work every day.
He calls himself a villain.
"Then it depends on the quality. I don't believe you can figure out anything from a piece of mud. I will give you everything you want. If my money is wasted, I will chop your head off." Guo Wei said.
He said the next cruel words and walked away angrily.
Xu Xian looked back at the scattered team and had a severe headache. He didn't know how to start for a moment, so he first asked them to set up a military tent. Then he saw that all of them had gray heads and faces, and the black ash on their necks was as thick as a finger. If you look carefully, it's still...
There are lice burrowing in and out of the hair.
Poor people are prone to lice and sores. It is rare to take a few baths throughout the year. No ordinary person has a few lice on their body. If you don't want all the soldiers who have been trained hard to die due to the epidemic, it is still necessary for them to take care of their personal hygiene.
Several large pots were set up in the open space. After boiling, they poured cold water into the large wooden basin and jumped in one by one to take a bath. Xu Xian prepared a pile of sulfur and soap locust for them to wash their hair properly.
The lice won't get out in just one or two visits.
After joining the army, there was no need to work hard or practice swords and guns, but to take a shower. Everyone found it very novel, so they obeyed the orders. It took a whole morning to finish taking a shower, and finally put on the uniform military uniform.
A bit energetic.
Then Xu Xian taught them how to clean up the house. They were all surprised when they saw Xu Xian folding the soft quilt into tofu cubes. Some people even went to touch the quilt to see if there were any wooden sticks hidden inside.
"Okay, you all go back to your tents to practice. I will check you one by one when you come back."
Xu Xian didn't think they would learn it if he taught them once. After a cup of tea, he saw that the quilt was rolled up into a ball and placed on the straw thatch. Almost no one could fold it well, except for those with abnormal brains.
Muggles do something similar.
Xu Xian patiently taught everyone step by step before going to the next tent. When he returned to the first tent, the quilt was still the same as before, and there were two people lying on the grass thatch, sleeping soundly.
Xu Xian was already a little angry, and someone stepped forward and kicked him, "I told you to fold the quilt, why do you have to sleep!"
One of them stood up and grinned at Xu Xian: "I became a soldier to steal money and women, not to serve people with tea!" The other one also followed suit and pointed at Xu Xian's nose.
Shouting loudly.
I knew something like this would happen, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Xu Xian told Guo Wei before that what was missing from those old soldiers was actually a sense of awe.
He remembered that these two people were gangsters on the street, and they were probably as slippery as the old soldiers. When he saw Xu Xian as a young man, he thought he was being fooled and became scornful.
If he didn't kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, he wouldn't have to train any soldiers. Everyone in the tent was eating melons and watching the fun. Only the Muggles came over and yelled at the two of them, "Off with your head!" What he probably meant was, "You!"
You shouldn’t talk to Brother Xian like that!”
"Get out of here you idiot!" One of them said as he raised his leg to kick the Muggle. As soon as his leg was halfway extended, a leg already kicked him in the chest. He screamed and rolled out of the tent, and then another face
He was kicked on the ground and immediately fell to the ground.
It's a long story, but it actually only lasted a short moment. The people around were stunned for a while before they realized that it was Xu Xian who moved his hand, and then they all cheered: "Sir, what a skill!"
"Don't just flatter them, drag out two guys who don't obey military orders and whip them, and call everyone out to see them."
They are all a group of bullies who are afraid of the strong. Watching the two people with whip marks all over their bodies being thrown out of the camp, the remaining people suddenly became easy to use. They were able to fold the quilt without Xu Xian's step-by-step instructions.
It's not up to Xu Xian's standards, but it always looks a bit like that.
Jiubao came over and whispered: "Brother Xian, you should be more careful. I heard from my father that if you dare to do this in the same army, you might be beheaded at night."
"They have never been in the military. How can they know these things?"
"But I just told them!"
"That would be easier. You go back and sleep on the same bed with me and bet on whose head they can chop off!"
"Bowls, chopsticks, bowls, bowls, chopsticks, bowls..." More than a hundred good people were divided into several columns and walked forward in unison on the racecourse. Although it was not comparable to the National Day military parade, it was almost at the level of university military training.
Don't look at the fact that they are walking together now. At the beginning, they bumped into each other without distinction. Fortunately, there was a good trick that the time traveler came up with, and Xu Xian naturally used it without hesitation.
Of course, there are also some people who can't turn their heads in circles. Seeing A Liang grinning from time to time, it goes without saying that his hands collided with Da Kui's again.
Xu Xian personally trained Da Kui several times, but he always complained that he was left-handed, but it was useless to ask him to change his slogan and call him chopsticks, bowls, chopsticks.
The Muggle, who Xu Xian had always thought would never pass the recruit training, actually performed the best. You can see that he is very precise in his moves and moves. It is not because he is too smart but because his imitation ability is very strong, just like in the past.
Learn how to leapfrog behind Xu Xian.
Jiubao, who had always thought that he had a few moments, was actually too cowardly. He complained about being tired at the beginning and asked him to go home but refused to leave for fear that his father would beat him and he would cry later.
Luo Fubang was full of enthusiasm and worked extremely hard on training. Not only did Xu Xian stop him but he was still moving forward. What is worrying is that this man has been developing Tang fans in the military. When nothing happens, he will
Tell someone some old stories about the Tang Dynasty, and he will tell the truth and lies.
It was all made up, probably because of how good the Tang Dynasty was. The tone was a bit like the leading party of future generations. There were quite a few people who were frightened by him. I was worried that one day he would turn the entire team into a Tang Dynasty.
Powder, I'm afraid even Guo Wei wouldn't dare to use it.
As for the only scholar, Xu Xian was a bit disappointed. It was not because he was unskilled, but because he was very skilled. He could not only write and calculate, but also draw. You can imagine what kind of content this person who hangs around in a brothel all day can draw.
When resting, everyone often gathered around Li Mobai, watching him use branches to outline exquisite and attractive curves on the ground, and then laughing obscenely, which was everyone's greatest pleasure.
The two tomb robbers also surprised Xu Xian. One of them actually had special powers. It was not the seemingly normal older brother but the nagging younger brother. He actually had extraordinary hearing and smell. The echo of his words might be a sign of his real ability.
Audible.
"Stand still!" Xu Xian walked in the middle of the crowd holding a bamboo stick, correcting everyone's posture. Standing in a military posture has always been the most resisted by everyone. They didn't understand that it was like a wooden stake to stick, even if A Liang
Dakui and others couldn't understand whether Xu Xian could handle even the collective provocation. It wasn't until Xu Xian stood with them all afternoon that he finally gave in.
After a while of burning incense, Xu Xian let everyone disperse, and everyone went to bathe, light the fire, and cook. Xu Xian grabbed Jiubao and said, "Where are you going? It's your turn to cook today. You've finished cooking."
Go take a shower again."
Others also echoed, "It's true, everyone likes your and Da Kui's craftsmanship. It's been several days since you two took your turn, so we can't let everyone down."
Jiubao returned to the stove helplessly, picked up a cabbage and tore off the dirty leaves outside, and asked with a sigh: "Brother Xian, we have been in the camp for many days and we are almost suffocated. What?
It’s time to take a break.”
After hearing what Jiubao said, the people around him immediately became interested, especially Li Mobai who said that he had not visited the kiln for ten days and could hardly draw anymore.
Xu Xian laughed and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that Xiu Mu doesn't have it, but I can take you out of the camp tomorrow!"
The southwest corner of Bianliang can be regarded as a slum in the city. Most of the people living here are coolies working on the docks or small traders walking around the streets. They can only earn a few copper coins a day and their lives are no better than those of the homeless people on the streets.
How many rebels came into the city last year and looted everywhere, but they didn't come here.
Something strange happened today. More than a hundred soldiers arrived early in the morning. They did not wear armor or carry swords and guns. They only wore blue linen military robes and a red scarf tied on their arms.
I thought they were here to grab things, but unexpectedly a group of people occupied the entrance to the street. When the young man in the lead saw the people coming, he grinned and asked, "Would you like to help me, fellow villagers?" The person who was asked was stunned for a moment.
He was startled, then ran home screaming, closed the door and shivered.
Xu Xian frowned and sighed, "This won't work!"
A Liang echoed from the side, "It really doesn't work. I was waiting by the well just now to help them carry water. Who would have thought that one of them would come and run away. What you are doing is wrong, Captain. Their door is not strong, so there is no need to coax. Let's just kick the door down."
Just rush in and grab it."
