Arrived early in the morning at [-]:[-] a.m. on the second day, drums had already started beating at Zuoyidu Camp, Wendeng Camp, in the southwest corner of Jiulizhuang Unity Army Camp.

The first sound of the drum is the wake-up drum, the second drum is the assembly drum, and when the third drum falls, those who have not yet come out to practice will be cut according to military law.

Early in the morning, Li Jing had already woken up. First, he washed, fed and drank the black horse that Feng Liang had given him, and then began to put on his equipment.Today is the day when Zuo Yidu started training in advance, and it was also the first day he was appointed by Du Yuhou as Zuo Yidu's coach to be responsible for training according to his training plan. Take it out, carefully put on the equipment one by one.

Putting on the Shanwen armor, Li Jing carried the seven-foot jade sword presented to him by Cui Shishi on his back, and then hung the three-foot three-horizontal sword from the camp leader on his waist.On the leggings on the left foot, there is also a one-foot-long dagger tied.He also hung a round iron sheet peng row on the horse, then put it on the back of the bow in the bow bag, and took out two arrow pots full of arrows on the back, and hung a water jug ​​and grain on the left and right sides of the waist. bag.

After putting on all the other small equipment, Li Jing took the pocket and put it on his head, turned on his horse, reached out and took the spear from the rack, and went to the school field fully armed.

Zuo Yidu specially used a special school field, just in the southwest of Daying, the original piece of wasteland was removed from the grass and trees, and it was [-] steps away.The first team and the second team were divided into two groups, separated by fifty steps in the middle.Each team is arranged in a row of ten people, five steps apart, and five rows.Around the school grounds, there are colorful dental flags.

At five o'clock, the second drum was finished, and the two teams of one hundred soldiers from the first capital on the left had all put on their helmets and armor, and they were fully armed and lined up.As the first day of formal morning exercises, none of the soldiers dared to be careless. As early as yesterday, they knew that Zuo Yi started the training in advance this time because of Zuo Du Yuhou's order.

The general, the deputy general, Yuhou, the coach, the heads of the two teams, and the deputy of the team all stand in front of the banner.

Li Jing and other officers arrived in Qi and stood there, and there were military musicians playing big horns and three links.The big drum is beating in the middle, and the two teams below are also beating drums.

The third drum stopped, the flag bearers of the two teams lowered their flags, and the soldiers of the two teams on the left all knelt down on one knee in accordance with the law.

Wang Zhong turned his head to Li Jing and said, "Coach Li, since Marquis Yu of the Song Dynasty appointed you as the chief coach, then I'll let you lecture me."

Li Jing nodded, strode up to the wooden one-zhang high platform, and shouted loudly: "Military order: teach people to fight by teaching martial arts. Advance and retreat are just like military law. If you use your life, you will be rewarded, but if you don't, you will be punished. Can you not encourage it?" What he said was Wen Zouzou's, but these were all cutscenes according to the long-standing practice, and the soldiers below also knew this procedure long ago.

As soon as Li Jing finished speaking, the military drummer immediately began to beat the drum, the flag bearer also raised the flag again, and the kneeling soldiers below also stood up one after another.Then Yu Hou Zhang Hong stepped forward, clicked on the roster of Yidu on the left and began to click.Every time a person's name was called, a soldier below responded loudly.This process took more than a quarter of an hour to complete, and the left one belonged to two teams of 100 people, as good as 100 people, and one person was missing.

Wang Zhong, Li Jing and other military officers stood on the stage with their faces sinking like water. For today's first day of training, it is the first training in the entire camp, which is of great significance.Wang Zhong, Li Jing and other military officers deliberately confessed to their subordinates several times yesterday, but after all, on the first day at midnight, there were still some people who did not arrive.

Those who did not arrive were from the second team, Wang Zhong gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Hong: "Marquis Zhang Yu, the Dianmao Santong drum has not been delivered yet, how should we deal with it according to the military law?"

Zhang Hong didn't reply immediately, but glanced at Feng Liang on the right.Feng Liang is the leader of Zuo Yidu's second team, and the person who didn't show up is his soldier.Feng Liang's face turned pale with the same anger, he has been busy dealing with the matter of buying military merits for the past two days.Although Li Jing was very face-saving, after taking several hundred pennies from him, he happily gave him three military heads.But the matter is not counted as completed, after all, this matter has to be reported to the higher authorities.However, his uncle Feng Yanqing had already told him that he would handle everything in this matter and that there would be no complications, and let him wait to sue.

This matter consumed so much of his energy that he had no time to control his team.For the past two days, other teams have been digging ditches and pilings to build a camp, but their team stayed idle in the camp because of his relationship.As a result, these guys actually got together to play money, and playing money was nothing, after all, the camp had not yet officially opened.But these bastards didn't even dare to make it this morning. Isn't this courting death?It doesn't matter if he seeks death, the key to Jian Jian is the person Feng Liang feels has lost him.

He had heard it last night that Song Capital Yuhou and Song Ten Generals actually inspected Li Jing's team yesterday, and that Li Jing actually proposed a training plan to Song Capital Yuhou, and they even got it. Du Yuhou's appreciation.This matter has already made him feel that he is a head behind Li Jing. Now that the two teams are training together in Zuo Yidu, damn there is still one person on his side who is not on time.

Seeing that Feng Liang had no intention of making a sound, Zhang Hong coughed twice and then said: "Those who have not arrived after the Dianmao Santong drums are finished, shall be beheaded according to the military law! The owl's head is passed to each battalion as a warning."

"Then what are you waiting for, come here, send someone to capture that damn bastard for me, and immediately behead him for public display!"

Soon, the unlucky guy who played money too late last night and forgot to turn his head when he fell asleep was put under his head.

"Behead immediately!" Wang Zhong's face was full of anger. Yesterday when Du Yuhou proposed that Zuo Yi should train according to Li Jing's plan in advance, he was still very happy.After all, this is a rare opportunity to show his face, as long as he has some achievements, he will be appreciated by Lord Du Yuhou.Unfortunately, on the first day, such a nasty thing happened. After a while, the matter will definitely be reported to the higher-ups. At that time, they don't know how the higher-ups will think of him.Unable to show his face, but showing his butt in public, Wang Zhong is now extremely angry.

The unlucky guy didn't understand his situation until then, and began to cry out in horror and beg for mercy.It's just that no one cares about it.Finally he saw Feng Liang, as if he saw a life-saving straw, he shouted: "Feng Wulang, save brother, our two families have been friends for decades, and we have known each other since childhood, you can't watch me die. I beg you to ask the Captain for mercy, save me!"

That guy is indeed a family friend with Feng Liang's family, and his family is also a local wealthy family. This time Feng Liang joined the United Army to seek a family background and gain an official position.And this guy's situation is much worse, Feng Liang is the leader of the team, but this guy is the second team's deputy.

Feng Liang didn't want to help him at first, so it can be seen that he found out the friendship between the two families, and he was really afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense, and he didn't know how much he would tell the nonsense things the two of them did before, so he just endured it right away. Angrily said to Wang Zhong and Zhang Hong: "Wang Xiaowei, Zhang Yuhou, this person is also a first-time offender, so please raise your hands high. Besides, we are united soldiers, not officials, let alone on the battlefield. Forgive me, this guy's family is also from a wealthy family, if you let him go this time, he will be very grateful."

This matter is indeed serious, but in fact, it is not necessary to kill that guy.After all, this is a united soldier, and it is the first day of training Dianmao.If Feng Liang had pleaded with Wang Zhong and told the background of that guy at the beginning, things might have turned around.

But just now when Zhang Hong gave him a chance, he didn't seize it, but he had an attitude of having nothing to do with it.When Wang Zhong was about to make an example, he jumped out again.And at this time, he still spoke so bluntly, and brought out the other party's family background, so he had to say a lot of thanks.

These words were not at the right time, Li Jing knew some of Wang Zhong's background, knew that he came from Qingzhou, and his family also had status.For people like Wang Zhong, if you explain things plainly and earnestly beg for mercy or something, maybe he will really pass.But you didn't intercede at first, and you interceded again after he had settled the matter, and you moved out of your family at this time, which obviously felt a bit overwhelming.

Sure enough, Wang Zhong looked at Feng Liang with a dark face, and a few words almost came out of his teeth: "Execute immediately!"

Two soldiers stepped forward to drag him away, Feng Liang's face was as white as paper, what he was thinking at this moment was not saving people, but Wang Zhong's refusal to sweep his face and embarrass him.He suddenly yelled at Li Jing: "Brother Ji Yu, you are all robed in the army, please talk to the captain."

Li Jing knew that he wanted to use his name as a disciple of the governor to overwhelm Wang Zhong and force Wang Chong to release him.If he really did what Feng Liang said, then even if Li Jing and Wang Zhong had the experience of killing bandits together before, they would definitely be strangers after that.

Between Feng Liang and Wang Zhong, Li Jing must have chosen Wang Zhong, the boss who killed bandits together.But he couldn't directly refuse Feng Liang, so in the end Li Jing had no choice but to walk over to Wang Chong and said, "Lieutenant Wang, since Captain Feng is begging so much, I will guarantee him. Why don't you report this to Marquis Yu, Wang Jun of Wen Dengying, please?" He judges."

Wang Zhong and Li Jing looked at each other, Li Jing gave him a wink, Wang Zhong understood.Fu Xu said: "Well, since the head of the team is pleading for mercy, and the head coach Li said, then let's not kill for the time being, and report the matter to the king general Yuhou, and let him make the decision."

The people who were sent to the King General Yuhou came back soon, and brought back the personal approval documents of the King General Yuhou and the Tenth General of the Song Dynasty.And Feng Liang, who pleaded for a guarantee, ordered to admonish him, and fined him twenty military sticks as a warning.If there are any more intercedents, they will be beheaded.

Upon receiving this reply, Feng Liang's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted.It never occurred to him that after working for a long time, the person failed to keep him, but he himself was included in it instead.
