The Red Mansions

Chapter 185 Military camp inspection, the emperor leaked the imperial examination questions
early morning.

In the Xiaoshitan military camp, the sound of killing resounded through the sky.

After more than ten days of rectification, the five Davids in the Patrol Battalion have all been recruited and quickly put into training.

The small rocky beach was densely covered with tents. Although the barracks hadn't been built yet, it didn't affect the soldiers' drills.

Moreover, Jia Yun also stipulated that the patrol battalion will continue to train throughout the year, with one day off every ten days, without interruption.

Compared with the Beijing camp, which only concentrates on training for two or three months a year, the training in the patrol camp is many times stronger.

Because the patrol battalion has just formed an army, the first training is common subjects.

Such as queues, physical fitness, individual combat, bow and firearm shooting training, blasting and other content.

After three months, the entire army will conduct an assessment, and if they are fully qualified, they will be transferred to professional subjects.

For example, the Shenji Battalion will mainly train firearms such as artillery, firecrackers, rockets, fire caltrops, large and small muskets, large and small general barrels, large and small iron cannons, and magic arrows.

At the same time, joint training with infantry and cavalry is also required, and in the future it will also cooperate with infantry and cavalry in combat.

The training content is very rich.

Not to mention the other arms, the professional training in the future will also be very heavy, insist on starting from actual combat, high standards and strict requirements, train the troops to the fullest, and strive to shine on the battlefield in the future.

In the morning, the sun scorched the earth.

Outside the gate of the camp, Emperor Longtai took a group of guards and a few eunuchs in his micro-clothes, looking at the crude military camp.

Although the barracks were simple and crude, the spirit and energy exuded were extraordinary.

Especially a group of officers and soldiers on duty in front of the camp gate, all of them are tall and thick men, standing there like a javelin, motionless, it seems that the sky is falling, and it will not affect their will.

Emperor Longtai said with a smile to Jia Yun behind him: "It's only been a long time, Aiqing has changed the patrolling camp greatly. He is indeed a talented person, and he has not wasted my trust."

"My minister is doing business for the emperor, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, for fear of disappointing the grace of the emperor." Jia Yun hurriedly answered with cupped hands.

Emperor Longtai smiled and said: "Very well, I hope Aiqing can maintain this kind of momentum as always. As long as she can train the patrol battalion well, it will be a great credit. I hope Aiqing will seize this opportunity."

As he spoke, without waiting for Jia Yun to reply, he walked towards the barracks.

With Jia Yun here, although the soldiers on guard didn't know where this group of people came from, they didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly removed the refusal horses arranged at the door.

As for the kind of thing where the emperor came, the soldiers would not let them enter the barracks casually, it would definitely not happen here in Jia Yun's place, that would not be able to make meritorious service, but would only do it with a head full of water.

Walking into the barracks, what you see is rows of neatly arranged tents.

"How many people can live in this tent?" Emperor Longtai asked curiously.

Jia Yun replied: "One Xiaoqi lives in one tent, and all the bunks are opened. Even if the barracks are built in the future, although they can sleep in and out of beds, they still live in one room for each Xiaoqi."

Emperor Longtai nodded, not in a hurry to go to the training ground to watch the training of the soldiers, but walked into a tent with great interest to check.

The tents are all large cowhide tents, the skeleton is made of wood, with a mortise and tenon structure, which is easy to disassemble.

The whole shop is composed of wooden frames and brown mats. The quilts on the straw mats are folded into squares, and they are all arranged in a line at a glance.

Emperor Longtai's eyes brightened, and he felt that it was very comfortable to be in the tent. He smiled and said, "It seems that the military discipline of the patrol battalion is strictly enforced. You can see a thing or two from these details."

The neat and angular quilts, washbasins, towels, clothes and other daily necessities are all horizontal and vertical. No matter how you look at it, people are surprised and like it.

There is also a desk in the tent, and some books are neatly placed on it.

Emperor Longtai stepped forward to take a look, and found that these books were divided into two categories, one was military discipline, and the other was tactics.

Especially in the military discipline, it contains some words of patriotism, love for the king and the people, which made Emperor Longtai very happy after reading it.

"That's good, no wonder you asked so many Jinyiwei to come here, just to teach soldiers these things?" Emperor Longtai asked with a smile back.

Jia Yun smiled and clapped her hands and replied: "It can't be hidden from the emperor's eyes. The military supervision was built in hundreds of households to facilitate the teaching of soldiers, love the country, love the king and the people, and let them know why they fight, who they fight for, how to fight and so on."

Emperor Longtai flipped through the book, nodding his head from time to time. The content contained everything in it, and many words were written in his heart.

"It's a good job. I will keep going. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me. I will fully support you." Emperor Longtai nodded and said.

Putting the book on the table, Longtai paused for a moment, and found that the book was just placed casually, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he carefully put the book back to its original position, and he was relieved.

He turned his head and said with a smile: "Everyone likes to be tidy, if anyone doesn't abide by it, his words and deeds will be easily exposed."

"That's the reason. After all, the army is a group, and it pays attention to cooperation, and individual bravery is a little less important." Jia Yun nodded and replied.

Emperor Longtai said: "Ai Qing is right, now that you have firearms, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't escape."

"Furthermore, if the army wants to enhance its combat effectiveness, apart from the bravery of individual soldiers, the most important thing is to twist all officers and soldiers into a rope and cooperate with each other to exert [-]% combat effectiveness."

While talking, the two walked out of the tent and walked to the training ground.

On the spacious training ground, the yellow dust was flying, and the soldiers were sweating hard under the scorching sun.

Among these people, only a small part were left by the soldiers of the original patrol battalion, and most of them came from refugees and poor people around the capital.

Now in the military camp, there is enough food, meat to eat, and military pay. Everyone is unwilling to lag behind. They are afraid of being eliminated and returning to their hometowns, so they work very hard during training.

On the edge of the training ground, Emperor Long Tai looked at it for a while, then turned around and said:

"The spirit of the patrolling camp is very different from that of the Beijing camp. The Beijing camp is full of veterans now. It's no problem to fight a smooth battle. If it encounters a tough battle, I'm afraid it won't work."

Jia Yun pondered and said, "It's too early to judge how good the patrol camp is."

"Weichen plans to send out the patrol battalion in three months' time to pull out all the bandits in Beizhili and let the soldiers see blood."

"This will not only ease the law and order in Northern Zhili, create a harmonious external environment for the celebration of the Empress Dowager's birthday, but also allow the soldiers to understand the cruelty of war, which will serve multiple purposes."

Emperor Longtai nodded and said: "Well, I agreed to this matter first. The patrolling battalion has the duty to patrol the capital. Before the time to suppress the bandits, Aiqing will give a memorial in advance, and I will give you instructions."

He also hoped that the patrol battalion trained by Jia Yun would achieve results sooner.

In that way, with an army of tens of thousands of people in his hands, even if the Beijing camp refuses to listen to dispatch, he will not fall into a situation where no one can use him.

At the same time, after the patrol battalion has formed combat effectiveness, it can give the Beijing battalion a proper deterrent.

At that time, regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor and the Four Kings and Eight Dukes agree or not, he will have a way to rectify the military camp and make the military camp available to him.

As long as he controls the army in the capital, he can gradually control the army of the whole country step by step.

That's why Emperor Longtai attached so much importance to the patrol camp.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to pay out of his own pocket, and even disregarded the objections of the ministers, and wanted to expand the patrol camp. This was related to his big plan and he could not back down.

Looking at the lively soldiers on the training ground, Emperor Longtai seemed to see the real hope of taking power.

After being the emperor for so many years, he is too eager for power, and he hopes to make a difference to change the current chaotic situation of the court.

"I heard that Aiqing is planning to take the Enke Exam next year?" regained his senses, Emperor Longtai asked with a smile.

Jia Yun replied truthfully: "There is such a plan. Only by passing the Jinshi examination can the humble minister devote himself to the emperor and contribute his modest efforts to the country and the country."

Emperor Longtai nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Then Aiqing must step up preparations and strive to win the first place in one fell swoop, especially pay more attention to the frontier mansion newspaper."

Jia Yun's heart moved, and she bowed to thank: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reminder, I will definitely keep it in mind."

When the emperor revealed the content of the exam, Jia Yun became more confident.

A group of people walked slowly to the future, and when an officer saw Jia Yun arrived, he came to see him and ask for instructions, asking if he should stop training and ask Jia Yun to give a lecture.

Jia Yun turned to look at Emperor Longtai.

Emperor Longtai shook his head and said, "No need, let the soldiers continue training."

Jia Yun waved her hand and asked the officer who came to ask for instructions to go down and continue to lead the training.

Emperor Longtai pointed to a square team and asked, "Is that team of soldiers training their formation?"

"After I came to the training ground, I found that they have been standing still for almost half an hour, and they are still persisting. Standing under the scorching sun, can you bear it?"

Jia Yun replied: "Standing in a military posture is to practice basic skills and the basis of all formation training. Its purpose is to train soldiers' discipline, endurance and team spirit."

"Use external physical movements to inspire inner upward spirit and rigorous style of work."

"This kind of training can not only hone the willpower of soldiers, but also allow them to develop the habit of executing and obeying orders."

After pondering for a while, Emperor Longtai realized the benefits of standing in a military posture, nodded and said:
"It's as clever as it is clumsy, and the epee has no edge. It can be seen that after training for a while, these soldiers are more heroic than the Jinwu Guards and Habayashi Guards in the Imperial Palace!"

"When the patrol battalion is actually formed in the future, remember to remind me to send some elites to the palace, and train those soldiers who are in charge of the palace and the capital to patrol and guard day and night."

Seeing all the tall and energetic soldiers, Emperor Longtai's eyes became hot for a while. He wished that the entire army of the Great Zhou Dynasty had such fighting spirit and spirit.

Jia Yun readily agreed.

Next, Jia Yun accompanied Emperor Longtai to inspect cavalry training, blasting training and shooting training.

Although most of the current patrol battalions are recruits, they all look good during training.

After all, the common subjects are all simple training content, which is easy to learn.

Emperor Longtai was very satisfied after reading it.

He could see that Jia Yun wanted to train the patrol battalion into a real iron army.

The five Davids will have their own strengths and cooperate with each other in the future, making them suitable for all-weather and all-terrain operations.

Although it cost a lot, to Emperor Longtai, spilling money is a trivial matter. The key patrol battalion army has given him great confidence virtually, which is very important.
