Chapter 315: Training like a dog (Part 1)
By the Qujiang Pool, the "Shenji Camp" is stationed.
His Majesty Li Er saw the power of the "Zhentian Thunder" and naturally attached great importance to this "Magic Camp", so he placed the two most outstanding people among the second generation of nobles in the court, Fang Jun and Changsun Chong, together again. High hopes.
But Fang Jun is not like that.
In his opinion, the power of black powder is limited after all, and because there is no trigger fuse, the "Zhentian Lei" is just a big firecracker with too many restrictions on its use, and it is completely impossible to replace grenades and landmines.
Moreover, due to the level of smelting, guns and artillery cannot be made for the time being, let alone seamless steel pipes.
Without muskets and artillery, how could it still be called the "Shenji Camp"?
It's just a showpiece when it reaches the sky. It can have a certain deterrent effect, but its combat effectiveness is really limited.
The reason why Fang Jun is more interested in the "Shenji Camp" is actually because he can finally lead the troops legitimately...
If you want to conquer the seven seas, artillery battleships are a must, but more importantly, you must have a powerful and domineering elite division!
After all, no matter how advanced the weapon is, it still needs people to operate it.
Therefore, Fang Jun regards this "Magic Camp" as his own team and plans to build it with all his heart!
The treatment is the best, the food is the best, and the training is the most tiring!
He wholeheartedly wants to build a Tang version of Delta, a medieval Alpha...

"One, two, three, four..."
"One, two, three, four!"
The setting sun is like blood, the sky is filled with sunset, and the main campus of "Shenji Camp" is still bustling with footsteps and extremely noisy.
Liu Rengui ran at the front of the queue, breathing hard with his mouth wide open.
The armor on his body weighs forty kilograms, and the armor leaves clatter against each other every time he takes a step, making an annoying sound. His footsteps became heavier and heavier, and every breath of air he took in made his lungs hurt, and his chest was on fire. The marching tent on his back was now heavier than Mount Tai, making his waist bend more and more.
Looking back at the sparse queue, there were less than 200 people covering the 500-meter-long outer track of the university grounds. Many people even didn’t know how many laps they had been trapped in...
Where can I find such a way to train soldiers?
Liu Rengui recalled the scene when he met Fang Jun when he came to report after receiving the imperial edict.
Last winter, Chencang County Lieutenant. There was a Captain Zhechong named Lu Ning in the government office. He was arrogant and indulgent and violated the law. The county office was afraid of his status as a distinguished noble, so no one could do anything to him. Liu Rengui stepped forward and warned him not to commit the crime again, but Lu Ning remained as ferocious and brutal as before, so Liu Rengui beat him to death with a cane.
Somehow this matter was reported to the inspecting censor.
It stands to reason that since Liu Rengui is a county captain, he has the right to deal with violent criminals, even killing them with a stick, which is within his rights and responsibilities. The most he can do is investigate whether Liu Rengui is suspected of violating the law.
But when His Majesty Li Er heard about this, he was furious. A mere county lieutenant actually dared to kill a noble-born Colonel Zhechong. How could he have such courage? He summoned him to the capital with an imperial edict and planned to severely punish him.
Liu Rengui was a court sage, and he was happy and unafraid. Fortunately, His Majesty Li Er was wise and knew that the noble man had indeed committed many evil deeds and deserved his death. Instead of blaming him, he promoted him to the position of Prime Minister of Xianyang County, which was a blessing in disguise.
But who knew that within a few days, another imperial edict would transfer him to Chang'an to serve as the adjutant of the "Shenji Camp".
Liu Rengui was not a soldier, but from the county captain to the county magistrate, he had been doing security work and had many connections with the military. In addition, although he was born in poverty and was born in the turbulent era of the late Sui Dynasty, he was respectful and studious since childhood. Every time he sat down, he wrote in the open space without letting go of the scroll. He was well versed in literature and history, so he was very familiar with the military system of the imperial court.
I've been counting on my fingers, but I still can't figure out what the hell this "Shenji Camp" is?
When they arrived at the end of the field, they realized that this "Shenji Battalion" was a newly formed unit, and its combat method mainly relied on firearms.
What the hell is a "firearm"?
Liu Rengui claims that although he is not a genius, he is definitely not stupid, but he is confused and cannot understand...
However, since it is directly subordinate to His Majesty's army, it is His Majesty's personal army. It is probably the same status as the "Xuanjia Iron Cavalry" who followed His Majesty in Hulao Pass from 3,000 to 100,000. Being able to be a leader in such an army Deputy, the ancestral graves are smoking, this is the rhythm of development!
But why did Fang Jun, the admiral of the "Shenji Camp", personally recommend me?
I remember last winter, at the inn outside Luoyang City, I scolded this playboy quite badly. Su Wen, the top dandy in this gang, is the most narrow-minded and vindictive. Could it be that he was specially transferred here to humiliate and torture Yu?
In the following days, Liu Rengui's initial suspicion was confirmed. The second roommate not only wanted to torture himself to death, but all the soldiers in the battalion probably had a grudge against him, so he was simply practicing to death.
It’s terrible...
Liu Rengui was very upset and regretted his hatred at that time. If he hadn't scolded Fang Jun so harshly, how could he still be remembered by this guy after so long?
In fact, for Liu Rengui, neither the county captain nor the county magistrate had much interest in him. In his heart, what he yearns for is Huo Qubing, who sealed the wolf in Xu, King Wu Dao who issued the "Kill Hu Order", and Li Jing, who roamed the desert and made the Turks fearful...
Now I have a chance to join the army, but I don't know if I can survive in that Demon King's room until the day I go into battle to kill the enemy?
The end was just ahead, but his steps were getting heavier and heavier. The big beads of sweat seemed to have drained the last trace of moisture from his body. Liu Rengui licked his lips, feeling dizzy for a while. After all, he is already twenty-seven years old, nearly standing up, and his body functions are not as strong as those of those young men who are as strong as a calf. His persistence now is just a last breath of willpower.
Looking back, he saw that although the Zuoying led by him was in a sparse formation, with everyone sticking out their tongues like dogs, no one fell behind. This made Liu Rengui very satisfied.
He looked at the young man following him again.
Changsun Tao, the grandson of Changsun Shunde, Changsun Shunde is the clan uncle of Changsun Queen Wende and Changsun Wuji. After the great ancestor Li Yuan launched an army, he appointed Changsun Shunde as the commander of the army. Changsun Shunde accompanied the army to pacify Huoyi, defeated Linfen, and captured Jiangjun, all of which had military exploits.
However, he was dismissed from office because of his greed while serving as an official, and later died of illness.
Although Changsun Shunde and Changsun Wuji were from the same clan, they had always been at odds with each other. After Changsun Shunde's death, his branch also gradually declined.
In order to revitalize the family business, Changsun Jiaqing, the son of Changsun Shunde, gritted his teeth and sent his eldest son Changsun Tao to the Zuowei camp, placing all his family's future on him and placing high hopes on him.
Liu Rengui liked this boy who was persistent, tenacious and as strong as a calf.
In fact, it's not just Changsun Tao, there are many noble queens in the "Shenji Camp".
The Left Guard Camp is one of the troops closest to His Majesty among the Sixteen Guards. When there is no battle, the left and right guards take turns guarding and serving as a guard within the imperial city. Therefore, almost all noble families send their children and grandchildren who have no hope of inheriting the title and family business. After all, those who are closer to the water are the first to get the moon. They hope that one day they will make great achievements and be favored by His Majesty. A certain bright future can also be regarded as a success. way out.
Xungui is different from the aristocratic family members. The foundation of their family lies with His Majesty Li Er, so they are extremely loyal. And because the family has a future that is fought with blood and swords in a forest of arrows, they are very strict in supervising the martial arts practice of their descendants, and these boys are all very capable in combat.
When Fang Jun went to the Zuowei Camp to select people, he chose them based on their strong physiques, so the soldiers of this "Shenji Camp" looked majestic and murderous!
"Keep on holding on, Lord Admiral has already prepared dinner. Those who arrive first will be full, and those who arrive later will be hungry. Give it a try!"
Liu Rengui summoned up all his strength and shouted.
Hearing his words, all the soldiers, who were already at the end of their battle, let out an "ooh" in unison, roused their strength, and fought for the lead, fearing that they would be left at the end and have no food to eat.
After such a tiring day and no food at night, it would be better to die happily.
As soon as they think of this destructive trick of "the backward people have nothing to eat", these arrogant soldiers can't help but feel itching with hatred, wishing they could eat Fang Jun alive!
This is so wicked...(End of Chapter)
