Chapter 223 Military Parade
In the early morning of the rising sun, Xue Rengui led the soldiers to complete the daily training tomorrow morning.After breakfast, we gathered at the school grounds.
Lin Xuan looked at the straight and neat soldiers, and said loudly: "Everyone, do you still remember what I said, as long as you can pass the assessment, you will be able to receive military pay in the future. I think you all know that His Majesty will come to parade today. This It is your assessment today, as long as you can get His Majesty's approval, you will pass the assessment."
The soldiers were very excited when they heard Lin Xuan's words. They had trained so hard for this moment.
But even though they were very excited, after so long of training, they still stood upright without changing their faces.
Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo... You guys follow me to the gate of Daying and wait for His Majesty's arrival."
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan led Xue Rengui and the four to the gate of Daying.
"General, do you think His Majesty will be satisfied?" Cheng Chumo asked a little uneasy.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Why, do you have no confidence in the soldiers? Or do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Cheng Chumo was silent, he was very disturbed, but he couldn't explain why.
Lin Xuan patted Cheng Chumo's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the troops we have trained will be appreciated by His Majesty."
"General, it seems that His Majesty is here." Qin Huaidao said.
Lin Xuan looked up and saw a group of black-armored imperial guards, Li Shimin, coming on horseback.
Behind Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Qin Qiong... and other civil and military ministers followed.
When Li Shimin and his party arrived not far from the camp, Lin Xuan led a few people forward and saluted: "See Your Majesty."
"Excuse me." Li Shimin dismounted and handed the horse over to the guards.Putting his gaze on Xue Rengui, he said, "You are Xue Rengui?"
"Caomin is exactly Xue Rengui, see Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui was very excited. He was just a grassroots person. He didn't expect Li Shimin to know him.
Li Shimin looked at Xue Rengui, who looked very heroic, and praised: "Not bad!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Xue Rengui said excitedly.
Learn literary and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family.
It is a great honor to be appreciated by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, my lords, the soldiers have assembled at our school grounds, please follow me." Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan brought Li Shimin and others to the stage.
When the standing soldiers saw Li Shimin coming, they clasped their fists in salute and shouted in unison: "See Your Majesty!"
More than 8000 people shouted in unison, as if it was issued by tens of thousands of people.The momentum was terrifying, and the sound seemed to break through the sky.
Li Shimin was very excited when he heard the soldiers shouting, and felt that he had returned to the time when he led the soldiers to gallop on the battlefield.
"Exemption!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, he said to Lin Xuan, "Let's get started."
It is indeed good to just listen to the momentum, but it still needs to be rehearsed.
"Your Majesty, please sit down with the adults, and we will start right away!" Lin Xuan said.
Lin Xuan found Xue Rengui and asked him to lead the troops to start the drill.
After their discussion yesterday, it was enough to rehearse the usual military posture, formation, and military formation.
Xue Rengui stood in front of the queue, first saluted in Li Shimin's direction, and then held a loudspeaker and shouted: "Stand in a military posture for half an hour, start now!"
The soldiers hurriedly stood up according to the military posture, looking ahead.
Li Shimin was a little curious about the trumpet and asked, "What is that?"
Lin Xuan explained: "Your Majesty, this minister calls it a loudspeaker. It can amplify the sound and transmit it in one direction, so that more people can hear it."
In ancient battlefields and peacetime training, the transmission of orders basically relied on semaphore and drums.
Of course, there are other delivery methods.
The gold in Mingjin Shoubing refers to the gong.
But Lin Xuan felt that it was too troublesome, and he used the loudspeaker to shout directly during training.
But it doesn't mean that this army won't read flags and listen to drums.
After all, when you are fighting, the sound is so loud that you will be exhausted, and few people can hear it.
"This is not bad, I will get one for the old man later." Yu Chigong said bluntly.
Cheng Yaojin said proudly: "Haha, I already have it, so I don't need it."
"Well, Cheng Laohei, you have something good to hide." Yu Chigong said cursingly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yuchi, I'll send someone to send it to you when I turn around." Lin Xuan smiled.
Fang Xuanling kept looking at the soldiers, and asked with some doubts: "Uncle Jingyang County, could it be that they just stood like this?"
"Fang Xiang, although they just stood there, they didn't move at all, and their aura didn't show off. It's not as simple as you think." Li Jing said with a solemn expression.
Fang Xuanling is a good strategist and has gone out with the army many times. He knows general military skills, but when it comes to training soldiers, he really doesn't understand.
It is easy for soldiers to stand still without making a sound, but it is very difficult to keep them still.
Not only did this group of soldiers do it, but the formation was very neat, which made people feel pleasing to watch.
Lin Xuan laughed and said, "I don't know if Mr. Fang has heard that it is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as the fire, as immovable as the mountain."
Although Fang Xuanling didn't read many military books, he had read "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Hearing this, he was a little shocked and asked, "What does the uncle of Jingyang County mean, that this army can do it?"
No wonder Fang Xuanling was so surprised, because when Sun Tzu wrote this, he just put forward a concept, and he didn't realize it himself.
Li Jing, Qin Qiong and others are also famous generals of a generation, and Li Jing is even called the military god of the Tang Dynasty. They can't do this.
Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Master Fang will know after reading it."
The inability to do this in ancient times has something to do with the inconvenience of commanding.
In ancient wars, there were tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people at every turn.
There are not a few battles involving tens of thousands of people.
Once the battlefield is stalemate, it is very inconvenient to command.
Another reason is the issue of belief.
In ancient times, most people joined the army to support their families. After all, those who were loyal to the emperor and patriotic were a minority.
The strength of the army is maintained by the training and good treatment of famous generals.
But once the battlefield is defeated, the army will mutiny, and many deserters will appear, resulting in a rout.
For an army, treatment and equipment are important, but the most important thing is belief.
Otherwise, there would not have been so many battles in history where less won more.
Li Shimin said: "I have seen this military posture, let's move on to the next item."
He had read the training syllabus a long time ago, and he was very satisfied with the results of the training, but what he wanted to see most was the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Yes!" Lin Xuan replied.
He wasn't prepared either, he really stood there for half an hour.
"Rengui, let's proceed to the next item." Lin Xuan found Xue Rengui and said.
"Yes!"
The next step is to go to the queue.
Li Shimin and others were surprised when they saw the uniform steps and heard the uniform voices.
"How did you do that?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
It was the first time he had seen so many people with the same steps and voices, as if they were walking alone.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Return to Your Majesty, without him, it's just hard training."
Li Shimin was a little speechless, why did he feel that Lin Xuan was showing off.
The queue moves, and the next step is to practice the military formation.
It's not that they only train for these, like running and normal training, the demonstration is not very meaningful.
Several soldiers with flags behind them stood behind Xue Rengui.
Following Xue Rengui's order, the command flag was raised high and danced.
Seeing the semaphore, the soldiers began to practice the formation according to the order.
"I didn't expect the uncle of Jingyang County to know the army formation so well, and there was no pause between the changes of the army formation." Li Jing praised.
The soldiers he personally trained could do the same.
But very few people in the entire Tang Dynasty could do this, and Lin Xuan was very surprised that he could do this at such a young age.
"Dai Guogong misunderstood, I don't understand military formations, these are all trained by Xue Rengui." Lin Xuan said.
He didn't want to take Xue Rengui's credit.
Of course, Xue Rengui can do this, not to say that he is better than Li Jing in training the army.
This can only be achieved after the soldiers have been trained in Lin Xuan's method and have made great progress in coordination and obedience.
