Chapter 99 New Projects

? Outside Anlu City, Zhang Xutuo was waving his hoe to overturn the ground. The father and son and a group of people around him were officials and families of various prefectures and counties in Jingzhou General Administration. Because he was implicated by some surrender and rebellion, he was moved to Anlu to wait for his defeat.¥℉,

They have not been convicted yet, so they don’t have to live in a prison cell, but there are many people every day. It’s September now that the autumn harvest has just ended and the autumn is about to begin. Because many people and soldiers followed the Anzhou army to fight in other places, they were a little short of their hands, so they were letting them go to the official fields to work in farm work.

Hoes, shovels and other farm tools are ready-made, so you just need to work hard. As grassroots officials who are not up or down, they all have some land in their families. In order to save the cost of hiring people, some of them have done farm work, so they are very familiar with it.

"Everyone is serious, everyone is sensible and don't let me whip it!" A soldier shouted loudly on the ridge of the field, and there were many soldiers scattered everywhere to supervise the worker. Because of the rebellion of the Baman prisoners who worked as a coolie in Yongyang City not long ago, the supervision of these people has also been strengthened a lot.

"I know that some people are dissatisfied. If you don't agree, you will make trouble if you want to die!"

"A few days ago, everyone has seen the fate of the Yuzhou army attacking Anlu, Xiaochang and Yongyang, and beheading them!" Another loud shouting, "It's one thing if Shier and others are involved in the rebellion in Jingzhou. Now if you are not honest in Anlu, you will die!"

Zhang Xutuo sighed helplessly as he heard these scoldings. His father was a good-looking county magistrate who did nothing but was implicated and moved to Anlu. If he was convicted randomly, he would be no longer a slave and would not know when he would return to Nanyang County.

A team of soldiers running and shouting slogans at the far end of the official road. Seeing this, a soldier guarding the field asked his companion next to him: "Is there something wrong again?"

Another person looked at the team while walking and smiled and said that it was training. He recognized the few people inside, so this was Yuwen Tongjun's new army practicing long-distance running: "Hey, we tied sandbags on our legs and we wore armor on our bodies. This is how they practiced."

Those who are knowledgeable asked questions about the fact that when they run in armor, wouldn’t they get wet with both crotch armor? The armor pieces are so rubbed with sweat so that they can easily rust. When running, the armor leaves are grinding away the leather strands of the armor pieces are more likely to be damaged.

"I have to wipe it off after running. Besides, will Yuwen Tongjun still lack armor?" The well-informed soldier gave the answer, "I tell you that they practice for three days and one day off, and they have to run back and forth ten miles every time during practice!"

"How tiring it is. I heard that if I don't run these ten miles, I have to run around the barracks once in the morning and evening." Someone asked again. Yuwen Tongjun's barracks are outside Anlu City, so many people know that soldiers have to run around the school grounds every morning and evening. Although they don't need to wear armor, they are really unbearable in the long run.

"Tired? Is it so easy to get the military pay for Yuwen Tongjun?"

Some soldiers said that it was nothing to be full anyway. If he could eat every meal, he would be fine even if he ran every day. When others saw this, they sneered and shook the inside story: Yuwen Tongjun's soldiers not only practiced during the day and sometimes also practiced at night.

"Do you think this is the case? There are still tricks tonight! I'll tell you..." Someone scoffed at him, and he said vividly what he saw.

Yuwen Tongjun's soldiers still had to march at night. When he was at night at the city, he had seen these people's congresses walking around Anlu without sleeping at night, not lit turrets or talking, and queuing up in line with each other. This would be fine if there were "unexpected surprises" on the way.

"Someone deliberately pretended to be a ghost on the road, wearing a white robe and a ghost mask. When they came, they turned around and looked at it. Amitabha. I was scared when I thought about it!"

"It's no wonder I can fight so much..."

"Of course. How did you think Yuwen Tongjun drew his sword and cut blood into a river in Jiangling?"

"Didn't you say...hehe...didn't you say something about the harem?" Some people began to bring up crooked topics. It was rumored that Yuwen Tongjun even had many vivid descriptions in Jiangling City's "lustful\Random Harem" which was very attractive to the rough people.

If Yuwen Tongjun went back and forth alone in the army, he had not met the enemy or even challenged several names, he would think it was nonsense. If the topic changed, everyone would immediately become energetic.

As the saying goes, good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Yuwen Wen’s story of breaking into the palace in Jiangling City to help Miss Xiao recognize her relatives spread at first, but then it was clarified. However, people only pay attention to the so-called fragrance and erotic scenes. As for the truth, no one has paid attention to it.

Just as the soldiers were talking about how Yuwen Tongjun broke into the Liang Kingdom Palace with one gun and a horse, "slaying a killing" in Jiangling City, Zhang Xutuo looked at the soldiers running through the official road in front of him and left.

"I'll practice marching all night..." He murmured to himself as the soldiers wearing sandbags covered with feet and tied with sandbags.

......

In a corner of the military camp, Yuwen Wen and several generals were watching. Several soldiers in front of them were holding some things and doing things slowly. Not long ago, Shi Wansui proposed to strengthen soldiers' empty-hand fighting, weapon fighting and archery training during a discussion at the Xiyang County Duke's Office. These all require equipment to help exercise arm strength. Now Yuwen Wen is showing the training equipment.

"This thing is called a dumbbell. It can usually exercise arm strength from a stone lock, but it is slightly different." Yuwen Wen said to someone with an object in his hand. The thing with a wooden pole connected to a stone cake at both ends is the dumbbell he made.

The traditional ancient instruments were one of the stone locks and the other were the stone locks. The shape of the stone locks was exactly the same as the barbells in later generations. The dumbbell made by Yuwen Wen was a miniature version of the stone locks. The dumbbells and stone locks were both used to practice upper limb strength, but the focus was different.

The biggest difference between them is the center of gravity. The center of gravity of the dumbbell is in the palm of the hand, but the center of gravity of the stone lock is outside. The effect of practicing this is different: the stone lock has a swing force when dancing, which is centrifugal force. Holding the dumbbell in your hand is not easy to get injured, but the stone lock should pay attention to the movements.

"This dumbbell seems to be able to carry a heavy load and punch." Shi Wansui said after waving the dumbbell. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. The stone pole is very familiar with the stone pole, but this is the first time he uses this "dumbbell", but he still agrees with it.

"If you don't pay attention to the stone lock, you will easily sprain your wrist. The dumbbells are better." After Yuwen Wen said that, he signaled a soldier to hold the dumbbells in both hands and dance according to the set of movements he taught before.

Dumbbells are common modern exercise equipment, so Yuwen Wen has no doubt about its exercise effect. He originally wanted to use iron to make it, but in this era, iron is still a shortage. If you want to train soldiers on a large scale, you still have to follow the traditional path: a wooden stick and two stone cakes.

Chen Wudi and others watched the soldier's demonstration and nodded involuntarily. They had also practiced stone locks in the army and knew that one thing was more troublesome was that they would easily sprain their wrists if they were not in place. With this dumbbell, at least those who were just starting out were not that difficult to practice.

Shi Wansui heard Yuwen Wen say that practicing according to certain movements can also achieve the effect of practicing arm pulling is considered skeptical. He still thinks that practicing stone locks is more reliable. As for the other party's statement that "wide grip and pull-ups" can also be practiced with arm pull-ups" he still doesn't believe it: What kind of pull-ups are similar to "hanging" really effective?

"If you dominate the army, the stone lock will be thrown up when practicing, which is very important for practicing the finger strength and grip strength of your hands." He was afraid that Yu Wen Wen would not know the benefits of the stone lock, so he began to explain that it was precisely because of the characteristics of the stone lock that it was very useful for soldiers to fight.

For cavalry, you must at least hold the long and heavy horse lances with a steady brace, an armor-breaking iron mace, an iron whip, and an iron hammer. When swinging a long sword during infantry battles, you also need to strengthen the wrist strength by practicing stone locks on weekdays.

The team leader Lai Hu'er also expressed his opinion: he will throw it up when practicing the stone lock, so he must practice it and be able to hold it tightly. In addition, the movement of the rolling stone lock is closer to entanglement and grasping each other during hand-to-hand combat, which means that the stone lock can be used to practice fighting.

Yuwen Wen knew that what the other party said could be summarized as practicing "control center of gravity", so he practiced the stone lock to fight centrifugal force, so he also practiced his waist. He is not a martial artist, so he doesn't know whether it is scientific or not. However, since modern times, there is an improved version of the stone lock - the kettlebell - he is not opposed to the stone lock.

"You can practice frequently with dumbbells to strengthen your arm strength, and you can practice appropriately with stone locks." He made a decision. The effect of dumbbells is absolutely fine, so you have to speak with facts. As for stone locks, it needs to be carried out under the guidance of Shi Wansui and other "experts". Yuwen Wen didn't want to make the soldiers he raised become disabled.

When soldiers started training in February this year, Yuwen Wen taught according to the actual situation of soldiers' malnutrition and lack of exercise. Of course, they need to practice strength. But when they start practicing, they may use equipment to help them grow. So most of the arrangements are push-ups, pull-ups and other practice subjects. Because the situation is problematic, it is necessary to form a military force within half a year. The top priority is to strengthen the queue and professional skills: long spear stabs, archery, and a very small number of people who are well-equipped to practice long swords with both hands.

The actual effect is OK after actual combat. It is considered to be qualified to practice professional skills well. Now, since Shi Wansui has mentioned the shortcomings - the soldiers' personal skills are not good, and they are not good at fighting with bare hands or fighting with swords. In response to this suggestion, Yuwen Wen has decided to train the soldiers more strength.

When practicing arch pulling, you need to strengthen the exercise of latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, shoulder straps, and deltoid muscles. He cannot explain this knowledge of human body structure to people of this era, so he can only follow the instructions. The most important thing is to make suitable training equipment.

It is of course best to use a bow to practice, but the cost is too high - a bow takes time and cost too much, it will be broken if it is too much. Yuwen Wen is not as big as a person who has trained several bows to practice pulling, and the spring puller cannot be made, so he wants to "get the horse in the country".

Nowadays, the most suitable thing to practice pull-up is to use dumbbells and wide-grip forehand pull-ups. He does not explain the specific principle as long as the soldiers practice for a while, they will naturally know. As for strength training, he has two more violent events.

These two items are standard methods for tough guys to practice strength. Of course, the damage caused by wrong movements is also irreversible. Yuwen Wen decided to propose it first to let everyone have a concept and then gradually summarize the experience and lessons in practice.

"There are two ways to practice this stone pole, one is called deadlift and the other is called squat!"

Hearing these two terms, everyone present looked at each other: Could it be that they were squatting in a stone load? Yuwen Wen pointed out that the guard soldier Li Shimo came forward to demonstrate, and the first one was squeezing the deadlift.

Li Shimo stood in front of the stone pole, standing in a 8-shaped shape, bent his knees and possessed him. He held the stone pole with both hands and held it approximately the width of his shoulders. He raised his head slightly and raised his chest and tightened his back. He leaned forward with his upper body. After Yuwen Wen ordered him to stretch his knees and lift the stone pole with his legs. When he reached the highest point, he stopped and raised his shoulders abducted, and then he stagnated for about three or four breaths and then slowly fell down to restore.

"This is a knee-bending deadlift, followed by a straight leg deadlift."

Straight-leg deadlift, as the name suggests, is the opposite of knee-bearing deadlift, and the knees cannot bend throughout the whole process. Everyone didn't think anything about Li Shimo's demonstration. It can be seen that he gritted his teeth and completed the weight-bearing squat and couldn't help but take a breath: Is it still a human to practice such a "squat" method of sixty or seventy pounds of stone bear?

"There are many key points for weight-bearing squats. If you are not careful, you can easily hurt your body. You should slowly explore the exercise methods." Yuwen Wen looked around and said, "The dumbbells and stone pods will have enough preparations. The exercise content will be determined within three days and will start the additional training items on the fourth day."
