Chapter 31 Casting the Soul of the Army
Originally, Chen Ying's handsome face had no deterrence to these Qiu Bas. However, the scene of Chen Yingru's crazy beating Duan Zhigan was much more deterrent in the eyes of the soldiers.
Although Chen Ying was calm, he said in a unquestionable tone: "You all listen to me. No matter how you were stumbled in the past, your good days will be over. Fuck you two days a day. If anyone dares to be late, I will let you understand how to write the word "death"!"
The eyes of the soldiers fell on Duan Zhigan, who was half dead. Although they had already had sex in autumn and winter, they couldn't help but sweat. "Did you hear it?"
"I heard it!"
"Isn't it all fucking that I haven't eaten?"
These soldiers really didn't eat, but they didn't dare to say this. God knows how Chen Ying would play with them. So more than 300 soldiers shouted in a stern manner: "I heard, I heard!"
Chen Ying said: "I set a rule for you! Everyone has it! Run three laps around the school ground!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the Xun's second mansion almost fell to the ground.
The school area of Xun's second mansion is quite large, with a whole circle of more than 2,400 steps. If you run three laps, it will be more than 7,200 steps. In the Tang Dynasty, one step was six feet, about one and a half meters, and it will be nearly thirty miles after three laps. They will be exhausted even if they don't wear armor. However, most of them are wearing armor, even if they have leather armor, there are more than thirteen pounds. With nine pounds of horizontal swords, daggers and helmets, each person has a weight of at least thirty pounds. As for the generals, they are even more miserable.
All the Tang army soldiers were wearing iron armor above. Even the lightweight iron armor weighed 18 kilograms, and a little heavier would be twenty or thirty kilograms. Some generals and officials were wearing two heavy armors, carrying a weight of fifty kilograms. Not to mention running thirty miles, even walking thirty miles would make them vomit blood.
However, when the soldiers of the whole mansion saw Duan Zhigan who was still lying on the ground and half-dead, they immediately felt the urge to urinate.
"Run and walk!"
The soldiers began to run around the school ground.
However, there were more than a dozen generals including Yin Yuan, the captain of the second palace of Xun, standing there without moving.
Chen Ying showed a faint smile on his face.
Chen Ying's faint smile fell in Yin Yuan's eyes, which was even more ferocious than the god of death. Yin Yuan thought he was the heir of Chen County Duke and the future young master. However, thinking of Chen Ying's cruel means, his body trembled and said stammeringly: "Chen...Chen...General...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last...Last Prince of Chen County...Last."
"Oh!" Chen Ying shouted: "Deputy Wei, what crime should we be punished if we don't obey the order?"
Wei Wenzhong gritted his teeth and said, "The lightest one is ten sticks, and the worst one is the behead!"
Chen Ying said: "When Nian'er and others commit first offenses, I will not punish you too much and be imprisoned for three days!"
"Close the door?"
Everyone became confused.
When they truly understand the real horror of confinement, they would probably rather be beaten with a military stick than be detained.
There are several forage warehouses near the stables of the Yueqituan barracks in the Xun Erfu. Several of these forage warehouses are empty. Chen Ying asked someone to sort them out and separate them with wooden boards to make a compartment that is two meters long and one meter wide and only five feet high. Only a small grid that is one foot square is left at the top to serve as a breather.
Chen Ying locked up all dozens of soldiers including Yin Yuan inside, and covered them with black cloth.
At the beginning, Yin Yuan was very happy and joked about the fools who would rather run. But he couldn't laugh soon.
As Chen Ying's entourage, Liang Zan naturally became Chen Ying's personal guard. When the soldiers dispersed, Liang Zan smiled and said with a smile: "General Chen's move to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, it can be regarded as a leader of the two Wei Xun's mansions on the right. Let's see who dares to disobey the slander in the future..."
"Have you established your authority?" Chen Ying said lightly: "Actually, this is not far enough. You are too underestimating these soldiers. Only you can't imagine, and nothing they can't do!"
"Can they still make a mutiny?"
"Just wait and see!"
In Chen Ying's opinion, many people probably couldn't hold on for the first time these soldiers had such high-intensity training. However, unexpectedly, the physical fitness of the soldiers of this era exceeded his imagination. Although it took nearly an hour and a half, more than 300 soldiers ran away in full arms.
When the soldiers who were sweating profusely and panting as if they were running back, Chen Ying was still standing on the school ground like a javelin.
Chen Ying said: "I am very disappointed in this training. I ran for an hour and a half for just thirty miles, and even the pigs ran faster than you. What's more, there was no lap. All regiments, brigades and teams were all in chaos. If it were on the battlefield, do you know what it means? You will be a piece of loose sand and be slaughtered... Forget this time, next training will be conducted, with teams as a unit to conduct a centralized assessment, and one of them will be separated. The team is being closed for one day. The four regiments will conduct an assessment, the first two will be given a meal, and the food standards for the latter two will be reduced by half."
Among the soldiers complained, Xun's second mansion ended its first day of training.
Back at the Zhechong Mansion Festival, Chen Ying said to Deputy Chief Wei Wenzhong: "Deputy Commander Wei, you have compiled a booklet. When was the two Weixun Mansions in the East Palace formed? Who were the Zhechong Clerks, who were the lieutenants of various regiments, where did they fight wars, what kind of contributions have been made, how many losses were made in each battle, and how many seized?"
Wei Wenzhong asked in confusion: "I dare to ask the lieutenant, what's the use of sorting out this thing?"
Chen Ying said: "Our current roster records the origins and ages of the soldiers. I want to know the stories behind them, such as why they joined the army, what they did before joining the army, whether they did, whether they were good or bad. You are now the head of our No. 2 Xun Er Mansion. You will inevitably have a lot of writing in this book in the future. This book will eventually be preserved and reviewed for those who write history. Maybe many years later, your brother Wei's deeds will be recorded through such a book and written into the history books and will be remembered for eternity!"
Wei Wenzhong was even more surprised: "A small character like us is poor and can she be written into books?"
Chen Ying nodded with a smile: "As long as we write it down, one day someone will write these into books."
"...But, what's the use of this thing not to be hungry or cold?" Wei Wenzhong didn't seem to be very interested in leaving a name in history.
Chen Ying said with a solemn expression: "An army without war history is an army without soul..."
The Xun Mansions are now the capital for Chen Yingsheng to make a living. Chen Ying not only needs to improve the combat effectiveness of the Xun Mansions, but also inject new soul into this army.
Although he had long known that Li Jiancheng would eventually die of Xuanwu Sect, now that he has become Li Jiancheng's man, he naturally does not want to sit on the bench as Li Shimin usurps the throne.
So he had to let Li Shimin see his abilities during this Wude period.
In a company, outstanding employees will never be eliminated, and Chen Ying does not want to be the eliminated one.
The troops in the second government of Xun were temporarily short of staff, but Chen Ying believed that when the time came, Li Jiancheng would definitely spare no effort to expand the sixth order of the East Palace to full capacity.
