Chapter 2940 Acting in a play (Part 2)
Today's Shenji Camp is led by Li Daozong, the Minister of Civil Affairs. However, due to various reasons, it has long lost its prosperity. However, Li Zhi was able to tell the story of how he used to train soldiers in the Shenji Camp. If he said that he had not carefully studied Fang Jun's past, Fang Jun would never believe it.
It's just that I don't know whether it was Li Zhi who studied it privately, or whether Changsun Wuji said it to Li Zhi after studying it.
It seems that Changsun Wuji really values himself and regards himself as his life-long enemy...
His eyes returned to the students who were training hard on the beach by the pool, but they didn't feel at all the tenacity that they had when they were training in the Shenji Camp in the past. Even though they were extremely tired, they still gritted their teeth and persevered. These students couldn't run very far before they were exhausted. Panting, he accidentally stepped on the sand and fell to the ground. He lay down on his back, gasping for air, and never stood up again.
Even those who didn't fall were still stumbling and complaining, and the entire queue was twisted and twisted like a rabble...
Li Zhi was a little disappointed: "Although they are just some students, this is military training after all. What kind of training can they achieve if they can't stand the fatigue and hardship?"
Fang Jun's face was livid, he pushed aside the soldiers blocking his way and strode towards the beach.
The soldiers were afraid of losing something and hurried to catch up, staring at the surrounding students with stern eyes. If anyone made the slightest move, even the King of Heaven would kill him without mercy.
Fang Jun walked up to a student. The guy was lying down panting, cursing and complaining. He was kicked in the ribs by Fang Jun. He let out a scream of "Ouch" and rolled around on the ground twice, Xiami. Usually curled up.
"Stand up!" Fang Jun shouted.
The student huddled on the ground and almost couldn't catch his breath. He finally managed to catch his breath, but still couldn't stand up. He cursed: "Mother! Who the hell is kicking me?"
Oops! Dare you curse? ! Two of the soldiers beside Fang Jun had already stepped forward. One of them grabbed his collar and lifted him up, while the other punched him hard in the abdomen.
"Woo!"
The student howled miserably, opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of the contents of his stomach. After one mouthful, he followed another mouthful, until all the gall water was spit out.
The other students looked here in shock, stopped in their tracks, and fell silent.
Fang Jun took another step forward and shouted: "Stand up!"
The student squatted on the ground and finally vomited. He gasped and raised his face. Tears were streaming down his face, and he cursed: "Mother! You don't want to live anymore, do you? I... uh, more and more, more and more." , Duke of Yue..."
Everyone was stunned.
How could it be the Duke of Yue? !
Fang Jun stared at him and asked, "Where is Duke Wei now?"
The student was already frightened and said, "Just right, right at the back of the queue..."
In the entire academy, His Majesty Li Er is the nominal high priest and the highest leader, followed by the two ministers, Fang Jun and Chu Suiliang. But regardless of his power status or influence in the academy, how could Chu Suiliang be compared with Fang Jun? Not only was he unable to compare with Fang Jun, but now even Xu Jingzong, who controlled the academy's logistics power, had a higher status than Chu Suiliang.
Countless students regarded Fang Jun as their idol, praising his famous poems that could be passed down to future generations and lasting forever, and told about his unparalleled achievements in opening up new territories, even "Chang'an Emperor". The nickname "dandy" has also been given an elusive and unattainable meaning.
Every student dreams of becoming the next Fang Jun, achieving great feats one after another by virtue of his own strength, entering the political hall at a young age, and even becoming the Minister of Military Aircraft, gaining great power and high reputation, and becoming a pillar of the empire. .
Thinking about how Fang Jun noticed how he looked just now and kicked him again, how could the student not be afraid?
This is a ruthless person that even Zhang Sun Wuji dares to beat...
Fang Jun had no intention of arguing with him. He strode towards the back of the queue with a dark face and his troops. Li Zhi looked at the group of staggering students with great interest, shook his head, and followed Fang Jun in steps.
The student was already confused. It wasn't until Fang Jun walked far away that he came back to his senses. He grabbed the classmate next to him, stared at him and stammered, "Um, did I... just... scold me?" What?”
The classmate looked at him sympathetically and nodded: "Yes, you scolded Duke Yue."
The student opened his mouth, then suddenly his eyes rolled up and he fell backwards. His classmates were so frightened that they hurriedly supported him, only to find that the man had fainted from fear...
Several classmates hurriedly put him on the ground and called the medical officer accompanying him over for simple treatment.
……
Fang Jun's steps were fast. Wherever he passed, students who recognized him quickly stopped and stood aside, bowing their hands and saying hello honestly.
Fang Junli ignored him and went straight forward. After a while, he saw the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, who was accompanying the team.
"Hey, when will the Duke of Yue come over? I'm doing military training. I'm wearing armor. I'm sorry for not being able to salute you." Li Jing hurriedly came over.
Several academy instructors behind him and the military lieutenant colonels who were dispatched to assist in military training also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Fang Jun returned the gifts one by one.
Li Zhi panted and caught up from behind. Li Jing and others were surprised. They didn't know why the two people came together, but they hurried to greet him.
After the exchange of greetings, Fang Jun said to Li Jing with a dark face: "Raising the country's sons with Taoism is the sixth skill of teaching. Not teaching the people to fight is called abandoning them. These are all students of the academy. When they entered the school, they swore to dedicate themselves to the country. , Don’t be afraid of hardships, why go to get military training, but throw away your armor one by one like a mob? This is not the purpose of military training in the academy!”
Li Zhi could feel Fang Jun's anger. He regarded military training as a whetstone for tempering students' character and temperament. As a result, these students were staggering one by one. How could they have any perseverance? This means that the person in charge of military training is Li Jing, Duke of Wei. Fang Jun was quite restrained in his words. If it had been someone else, Fang Jun might have gone up and kicked him to vent his anger...
Li Jing had some embarrassment on his face when he heard this. He sighed and said helplessly: "I deeply agree with what the Duke of Yue said. This is also my original intention of accepting military training. It's just that most of these students are children of aristocratic families, and they are usually dignified and unruly. tame, and of extremely poor quality, where else can there be The demeanor of his ancestors who galloped on the battlefield and made great achievements? Those children from poor families must be more obedient, but when they were young, they could not even eat a few big meals. They were all as skinny as poles and could not even run for a few steps. Now they are carrying heavy loads and can no longer hold on. .”
A school captain on the side also said: "The requirements of Duke Wei are very strict, but these students are the worst source of soldiers. If they are placed in the army, they will all be eliminated and returned to their hometowns. Very few of them can become the main force of the elite troops." .”
One of the most serious drawbacks of the government military system is that the sources of soldiers are uneven and the gaps are huge. After all, they are usually farmers in the countryside, dandy sons of landlords and wealthy gentry. Some of them are in extremely poor physical condition and are not suitable for fighting as soldiers at all. However, government recruitment into the government soldiers is based on head count. As long as you are old enough and have no disabilities, you must become a government soldier.
But if a person's physical fitness is not good, even rigorous training may not be effective. If he practices very well, he may even die suddenly...
Especially since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, although wars have been frequent, the main force of the war has gradually shifted to "recruiting" armies such as the navy. Most young people in the private sector are pursuing studies to become civil servants. Without production, this will lead to worsening physical fitness. It is completely different from the early days of the founding of the country when any government soldier could be dragged out to participate in field battles.
Li Zhi was very fond of the legendary figure Li Jing. When he saw that Fang Jun still looked unkind, he was afraid that the stick would say something to prevent Li Jing from coming to the stage, so he said: "The skills of Duke Wei in controlling soldiers are unparalleled in the world, but a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. With soldiers of this caliber, even if someone like Wei Huo came, they would be helpless.”
Li Jing said gratefully: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I feel ashamed that I deserve it."
Fang Jun's expression improved, he sighed, and said: "I originally hoped that I could train the students hard and serve as a model so that the people of the world can still maintain the spirit that has not yet been established, but I didn't expect that the empire would not be established for a long time. , the atmosphere has deteriorated to this point. If it continues like this, where will there be soldiers to fight in fifty years? ”
Li Zhi was silent, but he was thinking secretly: You brought Li Jing here to preside over the military training with such great fanfare. Duke Zhao was quite afraid of this, for fear that you would train the academy students into a strong army and add wings to the East Palace. But now it seems that you have not Totally whimsical. Students have to study and study, and they will all become officials in the future. What's the use of training them all into strong soldiers?
There are specialties in the arts. Now that the world is at peace, you want the students to be civilized and military as they were at the beginning of the founding of the country. How is it possible? (End of chapter)
