The three major battalions, which were originally majestic and majestic on the school ground, immediately showed their original form after Chongzhen's order.

Not to mention the panic during the run, a lot of shoes, flags and other items were left on the school field.

Yu Zhigao's face turned a little dark, and the several admirals and ministers behind Chongzhen also turned a little pale when they saw the messy school field.

The three major battalions were stationed inside and outside the capital, and the sergeants from the outer battalions assembled in front of Zhu Youzhen today were all about 40,000 or 50,000 people.

Running around the barracks for more than 10 miles, according to Zhu Youzhen's calculations, should take between 40 and 60 minutes. However, considering the road conditions of this era, the comfort of the shoes, and the amount of exercise these soldiers usually have, he thinks that an hour or so is normal.

After all, the daily march standard of the army in this era was 30 li, of course, this refers to the army marching in the theater of war and carrying fully equipped troops.

However, according to Zhu Youzhen's understanding, it is already good that these soldiers of the Beijing camp who have not been trained for a long time can meet this standard.

Although Zhu Youzhen has set his expectations very low, the reality has dealt him a bigger blow.

One hour passed, and he saw three or three soldiers appear in his field of vision, and at least half of the soldiers on the school field did not set off at this time.

Two hours passed, and all the troops on the school field set off, but only 3 or 4 thousand soldiers returned, and under the banners of 7 or 8 battalion heads, there were as few as 2 or 30 people, and as many as 1 or 200 people, and only one battalion head was the most intact, reaching nearly one-thirds and more than 1,000 people.

Zhu Youzhen waited for another quarter of an hour, and after a few dozen people had slightly increased on the school ground, he saw a large army begin to appear at the end of the road.

He called Yu Zhigao and asked him to gather the sergeants who were now on the school field and set up another battalion. Don't let the troops that arrive later get mixed with these people.

Then Zhu Youzhen, under the escort of Lian Shanxiang, stepped off the Dianjiang platform and walked towards this battalion of soldiers, and the sweaty soldiers were still a little dissatisfied, thinking that this was the emperor tossing them.

However, when Chongzhen walked to them, they felt a little excited, and being able to be so close to the emperor seemed to bring them glory.

Zhu Youzhen stopped in front of a sergeant at the front of the team and asked casually, "What's your name, the sergeant of that battalion?" ”

Chen Dazui subconsciously wanted to kneel down and reply, but was stopped by Zhu Youzhen, "In the barracks, the military salute is also good." ”

Chen Dazui immediately changed to bending to one knee and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the villain Chen Dazui is a sergeant of the Zhenwei Battalion. ”

Zhu Youzhen paused for a moment: "Big mouth? Is this your name? ”

Chongzhen's question made the soldiers around Dazui grin suddenly, if it weren't for Chongzhen by his side, they would definitely burst into laughter.

Chen Dazui's face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "No, the villain's parents died early, and I don't remember the names of my parents..."

When Chen Dazui said this, he suddenly found that he was quick to speak, and he actually explained his details to the emperor.

He was a refugee who fled from Shandong, not a sergeant of the Beijing Camp Guard, because Chongzhen asked Yu Zhigao to point to the three battalions of the school, and he was recruited to replace the vacancy.

When Chen Dazui was shocked and frightened, Zhu Youzhen said gently to him: "The name Dazui is not bad, does the mouth eat all directions, but it is a bit vulgar to use it to make a big name, are you willing to let me help you choose a big name?" ”

Chen Dazui was blessed in his heart, and said with a rush of words: "The villain is willing." ”

Zhu Youzhen thought silently for a while, and then said: "The task of the soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, I see that you are called Chen Weiguo, the word Anbang, how about it?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's name not only made Chen Dazui excited, but also added a little intimacy to the emperor with the soldiers who were originally very afraid of Chongzhen.

After helping Chen Dazui, Zhu Youzhen said to the surrounding sergeants: "You can leave tens of thousands of people behind you by running around the barracks, I think you are very remarkable, at least you are better than the other sergeants in the Beijing camp."

However, I feel that you still need to continue to work hard, such as learning like this Chen Wei**. Don't you feel like you're missing something compared to him? As a sergeant, you should regard your weapon as your own life, and throwing it away and going to battle is called death, not fighting. ”

Zhu Youzhen's words were not harsh, but these soldiers suddenly felt a little ashamed. Of the 3,000 or 4,000 people who arrived in the first batch, nearly half of them lost their weapons, and some even lost their helmets.

Seeing the look of shame on the faces of these soldiers, Zhu Youzhen comforted himself in his heart, at least these soldiers are not old fritters now, and they don't care about anything, so at least they can still be used.

Immediately, Zhu Youzhen said again: "However, it is not entirely your responsibility to make the sergeants fail to complete a simple running task.

Your superiors are also responsible, and their responsibility lies in not doing their duties on a regular basis, so that you do not know what the drill is.

I am also responsible, and my responsibility lies in not caring enough for the Beijing camp, which led to the relaxation of the military discipline in the Beijing camp.

However, I feel that you should be rewarded for your performance today, in recognition of your untrained performance and your superiority over the others. ”

The sergeants who had originally gone down because of shame raised their heads in anticipation when they heard that Chongzhen had given them a reward.

Zhu Youzhen continued: "The first ten sergeants who have just run into the school field, and those who have all weapons and armor on their bodies, will all be upgraded to the first rank; And it is recommended to enter the officer training school for school. Others were paid an additional month's salary each. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words fell, the soldiers standing near him broke out into cheers.

Chen Dazui, who had just been named by him, shouted particularly loudly, and Zhu Youzhen continued to go forward to condole.

Zhu Youzhen's reward conditions were quickly spread, and for a while, there was a slight sense of intimacy between the soldiers who had been temporarily retracted.

In front of Shi Hongmo, the general of the Guoyong battalion, Zhu Youzhen stopped, "Are you the commander of the Guoyong battalion under the five military camps who led the largest number of people to arrive?" ”

Since listening to the emperor's praise for the soldiers who arrived first, Shi Hongmo thought that maybe he could win the jackpot this time, he suppressed his excitement and respectfully said yes to Chongzhen.

After Zhu Youzhen looked him up and down, he asked Lian Shanxiang beside him: "The one who arrived with fewer soldiers than him just now was the military attache of that battalion?" ”

"It's a general of the Shenji Battalion, named Yuan Xin. Your Majesty. Lian Shanxiang replied immediately.

"Bring him here, too, and I have something to say to them." Zhu Youzhen commanded Lian Shanxiang.

After a while, Yuan Xin was brought to Chongzhen and half-knelt in front of the emperor with Shi Hongmo.

Chongzhen was silent in front of the two of them for a while, and then said, "It's not bad for the two of you to lead the troops, so I decided to reward you." ”

When Zhu Youzhen said this, he gestured with his hand to the soldiers around him and continued: "These sergeants who arrived first today can be regarded as the available soldiers in the Beijing camp. I intend to rebuild a battalion with the two of you in charge, are you willing to take my orders? ”

Shi Hongmo and Yuan Xin immediately knew that they were taken by Chongzhen, and there was still a reason for unhappiness, so they immediately nodded and thanked Chongzhen.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen turn his head to Lian Shanxiang and ask, "Who are these soldiers who just checked?" ”

Lian Shanxiang immediately replied: "It's Wu Fangyuan, a small banner under the minister." ”

"Very good, let this Wu Fangyuan and the small banner under him stay in this battalion, serve as a military discipline officer, and be in charge of military discipline rewards and punishments, military merit record affairs, and supervise the distribution of food and equipment." Zhu Youzhen commanded casually.

After inspecting the head of the battalion, Zhu Youzhen turned around and returned to the Dianjiangtai, which made the soldiers of the other battalions who puffed up their chests and prepared to be inspected by the emperor feel very disappointed.

On the point platform, Zhu Youzhen looked coldly, and the soldiers of the battalions under the stage. Originally, the seemingly majestic military appearance on the school field, after running a lap, was almost like a group of remnants defeated.

Not to mention the uneven standing columns, the number of people on the school field is obviously nearly one-fifth less than before. I don't know if these people are still on the way, or if they just ran away.

When Zhu Youjian went to inspect just now, he also found that the weapons in the hands of many sergeants were purely a good thing, the head of the gun was made of iron sheets, and it was shining with a layer of tin, which was very good-looking.

The waist knife is either rusty without maintenance, or the edge has collapsed, and it can't kill people at all. It's no wonder that these people can throw away the weapons in their hands when they run, this kind of garbage is just roadside, and no one will pick it up if it is thrown on the side of the road.

And the weapons of the Shenji Battalion are even more ridiculous, a car battalion under the Shenji Battalion has more than 200 bird guns; nearly 2,000 3-eyed guns; There are also more than 150 pounds, more than 250 furlong cannons with huge bellies and long necks.

When Zhu Youzhen was in the palace, he often heard that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion liked the 3-eyed guns and the Furlong machine guns, but they didn't like the birds, and he still felt strange at the time, but after seeing the real thing today, he finally understood why.

There are two kinds of bird guns in the hands of the Shenji Battalion, one is rusty and looks older than his age, but the wall thickness of the barrel is still quite thick, and the inner diameter still looks close to round, and the inside of the barrel is still smooth.

The other one looks like it is seven or eight percent new, but the wall thickness of the barrel is not to mention weak, it is also uniform, the inner diameter is oval and semicircular, and the inside of the barrel is still pitted.

After seeing the bird gun and then looking at the three-eyed gun, Zhu Youzhen himself also felt that if he would choose to use the three-eyed gun instead of the bird, at least the three-eyed gun would not have to be afraid that it would hurt himself, and he could still use it as a hammer when he ran out.
