I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Li Chengqian would not just give up his hard-earned learning opportunity just because he wanted to watch the sea. After all, all fools know that there will be opportunities to watch the sea in the future, but this kind of rare opportunity to be with the coach in a drill and actual combat Opportunities to participate and learn are hard to come by.

Li Chengqian obediently followed Zhang Nuo and boarded the airship again. Their flight was another long distance, because they were going to see the preparations of the drill troops and then start the drill.

Chapter 782 Zuo Wuwei Landlubber's Nightmare

Among the exercise troops, Zuo Wuwei led by Lao Cheng was undoubtedly the least mobile, but they were still the most excited.

Everyone knows that this time they are going abroad to fight, which means that they will participate in a battle to expand the territory. In this kind of battle, anyone who has a little merit can get a good reward, although the imperial court is getting more and more in terms of titles and official positions. It's normal.

But the rewards in terms of money and honor have become more and more generous. In fact, all the ministers in the court know that such things as titles cannot be given easily, and it is best to reward some money.

But if you know it, you know that the military spirit seems illusory, but there is one thing that is definitely needed, that is, there are clear rewards and punishments. If you can't even get rewards for going forward bravely, then why go up and work hard?

It's not that Li Shimin didn't think about reducing the number of titles issued by increasing other rewards before, but no matter how good the idea is, it's useless, because you don't have money in your pocket to reward you with wool.

Fortunately, the national treasury and internal funds have gradually become rich in recent years, and Li Shimin can finally use money to buy people's hearts with confidence.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo proposed the Medal of Honor system early on, which embodies the military's pursuit of honor to the extreme. To put it bluntly, that thing is an honorary title. Even if the medal is pure gold, it is not worth much in terms of pure price. money.

But it's different from a spiritual perspective. Who doesn't want to honor their ancestors?

Not to mention, there are some other rewards in conjunction with the medal, such as tax exemption, priority for children to go to school, etc. It can be said that once you get a medal for meritorious service on the battlefield, the whole family will change.

For such a policy, the soldiers undoubtedly welcome it very much. Even though the titles given in the past seem to be very generous, but in fact, only a few people can actually get the title on the battlefield?

It would be great for most people to get some loot back home, but now, after the military achievements are achieved, the bonuses will be in place immediately, and many people know that as long as they work hard, even small soldiers are eligible to receive medals.

For those soldiers who were born in poverty and only know how to work hard, this is undoubtedly a blessing from heaven. It is very likely that after a battle is won, the fate of their entire family will be rewritten.

This is also the reason why several generals fought and fought for a while for the Fusang battle. Everyone wanted to go to the battlefield and wanted to make meritorious service, and no one was convinced, so it was natural to pass the battle between the generals. The rules to solve chant.

Fortunately, although Cheng Yaojin's martial arts skills are not the top among all generals, he is superior in various small tricks, and this guy is very thick-skinned, so he really got it right and left, and finally snatched this errand.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin was as happy as a fool every day even during the rapid march, mother, he finally snatched up this job.

To be honest, he didn't feel at ease until he was on the way out. Who doesn't like military merit? No one would think that following His Royal Highness King Qin went down to fight a problem that could not be solved by a small congress. His Royal Highness King Qin transported their people there by boat, so His Highness King Qin can sit there and drink tea, and they gangsters can do everything by themselves.

It is precisely because we all know that there are benefits in it, so everyone is the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their talents and want to get this job. No one thinks too much military merit. No one can guarantee that their family will be prosperous forever. What a loser.

If this caused some trouble, as long as he had enough military merits, maybe Li Shimin would let it go for the sake of military merits.

Therefore, Cheng Yaojin almost woke up from a dream about being able to grab this good job.

Departing from Chang'an City to Dengzhou is not an easy task. Before Zhang Nuo left ten days earlier, Cheng Yaojin led his people to set off. Now Dengzhou is far away, but the closer we are to here He was slowly panicking in his heart.

It's not because of anything else, it's because he suddenly felt a little confused. His Highness King Qin's exercise is to fight across the sea, and he must take a boat to cross the sea. But he, a big man in Guanzhong, has never gotten wet on his body except when he is taking a bath. Water, will this cause any trouble?

Sure enough, it had to be said that this veteran's sensitivity was high.

Standing in the barracks, Zhang Nuo saw Lao Cheng's Zuo Wuwei coming all the way in good spirits, and with a wave of his hand, he announced a two-day rest and started the ten-day training camp.

The content of the training camp is different, one is to adapt to sea navigation, and the other is to learn to swim.

Lao Cheng almost cried when he heard this, because Zhang Nuo's requirement was that everyone should learn how to swim, and everyone included him.

God, even Lao Cheng, who had never been ambiguous when he fought with fewer enemies and many enemies, was standing in the barracks, looking at the blue sea not far away, and suddenly felt that he might have to eat something this time. Big pain.

He has been on a boat before, and he knows how painful it is to be thrown around like a toy by the wind and waves while sitting on a boat. Spit out everything that should be vomited in this life.

At that time, Zhang Nuo comforted him by saying that this kind of storm is not very common, and there is usually no such big movement, but now it seems that there is no such big storm, but this time he has to take the initiative to soak in the water.

Two days later, a group of tanned naval officers headed by Cheng Chumo stood upright at the port, welcoming all Zuowuwei brothers aboard with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

At the beginning, everyone was still sighing, the boat is so big, the sea is so big, the water is so salty, etc., but when the boat was full of people and drove out of the port, everyone suddenly felt bad.

A group of marines who put on light clothing started their "swimming training" with a smile according to Zhang Nuo's request!

Their training is extremely simple, a rope is tied around the waist of the person, and then the person is kicked into the sea with one kick, so that the person can jump on his own.

Anyway, according to what Zhang Nuo and others said, swimming is not so particular. If you drink too much sea water, you will naturally know what to do if you don’t want to die. After learning the most basic dog planing, you will study how to swim well. A little faster and a little less effort will do.

At the beginning of this swimming lesson, Zuo Wuwei suddenly wailed everywhere. They are all men from Guanzhong. It can be said that all the members of Zuo Wuwei are landlubbers. They have never even gone down to the small pond in their hometown. When have you seen such a big storm? !

Chapter 783 The Nightmare Is Finally Over

Zhang Nuo's swimming and sailing lessons were only given to Zuo Wuwei for ten days. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy. Naturally, he couldn't start with the basic movements according to the academic method, and there were not so many gentle methods in the army.

As for military training, the emphasis is on simplicity and rudeness. Zhang Nuo's arrangement is only one sentence, as long as you can't die in training, you will practice to death.

Well, the naval officers and soldiers are quite happy. When they were tortured by the instructors, especially those crew members who have been wandering at sea for many years, they enjoyed a lot of "extra meals".

Now it's finally their turn to torment people, how can they not let these fellow villagers and relatives enjoy themselves?

What kind of sudden cold arrows kick people into the sea, what use ropes to drag people for a walk in the sea, what hang people on the mast to blow the wind, why drink too much sea water and then punch people in the stomach...

But all the moves they have enjoyed, even the various moves they have not enjoyed but they thought up by themselves, are all taken out at this time.

Zhang Nuo was also on the boat. He also found it amusing to see these people crying for their parents and mothers in the sea. He smiled and looked at Li Chengqian, whose face was pale, and said,

"Chengqian, why don't Uncle Zhang teach you how to swim? This is a life-saving skill. Let's go to the sea to learn it?"

Li Chengqian's head is almost shaking like a double image, just kidding, if you want to learn swimming, you don't learn it at this time. If you really want to learn this skill, when you return to Lantian City, you can dig a pool and fill it with water to practice slowly. Suffer here?

Zhang Nuo was just joking, where and when would Li Chengqian go to practice, why did he have to follow the sergeant here?That's not teaching, that's cheating!

No matter how generous Li Shimin and his wife are, if they knew that Zhang Nuo was torturing their son so much, they would probably have a bad face.

The training is still going on. In fact, the training is not all random. Even though some training items and training content seem very brutal, in fact, the navy has handed over a special training plan to Zhang Nuo before the training.

This is also Zhang Nuo's request. All things, unless there is a war emergency, must have a method, and you can't think of where to do it.

Perhaps this will reduce part of the efficiency, but for Datang, what is most needed at the moment is not efficiency, but rules and regulations. What Zhang Nuo wants to build is a professional army, so rules and regulations are essential s things.

It can no longer be the same as before. The commander of the army can arrange it as he wants. What Zhang Nuo is asking for now is to clarify the approval authority.

Perhaps this is a bit troublesome for these officers and soldiers, but the benefits are also visible to the naked eye, that is, everyone understands what to do and what not to do, and the discipline is further improved.

When Zhang Nuo got the training outline before, he also consulted other people's opinions, but all the naval officers and soldiers expressed their opinions in unison, that is, they have all received these trainings, and each training item is also targeted. Yes, definitely not nonsense.

Zhang Nuo himself has also stayed in the Naval Academy. It can be said that no one is more familiar with the training items and training materials and other things in it. He was a little worried before that the amount of training would be too much for Zuo Wuwei, who had been hanging out in Guanzhong for a long time. Isn't it a little unfriendly.

Then I thought about it, mother, these veterans have all been on the battlefield. If you talk to them in a nice way, maybe they really might be a little ignorant, and instead look down on these things, they might as well be dead , Let them be tossed well.

So, don't look at how miserable the first day was, in fact, this is just giving everyone a blow.

From the second day on, in addition to the ropes tied around their waists, each person was given a large plank to lie on their stomachs. Although the buoyancy of this thing was limited, at least with such a thing, it was much less labor-intensive than purely flopping in the sea.

The sergeants of Zuo Wuwei, who had been tossed miserably on the first day, did not have the courage and energy to continue yelling like yesterday. After all, they already understood that this sea is the world of these little bastards. With the status of an instructor, if you go against them, you will not only be punished, but you may even have to be hanged as a model.

Therefore, facing the buoyancy planks distributed to individuals today, everyone actually felt a little bit happier.

Then he was kicked by the navy and thrown into the sea.

I don't know if it's because they really can't master the skills or if the soldiers themselves believe in miracles with great force. My good guy, those hands and feet jumped up, and the water splash was probably one or two meters high. Those who knew it were swimming, but those who didn't know thought it was There is a group of people fighting in the water.

According to the Navy's training program, the training program is far more than just swimming.

In the next few days, Zuo Wuwei's idiots were tossing miserably, hopping around with ropes tied, tossing with wooden boards tied to ropes, sailing in wind and waves, tossing with wooden boards in wind and waves, without ropes only After tossing the wooden plank until the end, when there was nothing at all, I started to tossing...

After ten days, everyone in Zuo Wuwei, including Lao Cheng, lost a whole circle of weight, and then got more than one color number, but he drank sea water every day until he vomited.

It's not that Lao Cheng never thought about being lazy, but when he went to Zhang Nuo on the first day to sell him miserably, and even pretended to cry about being kicked out of the house by Zhang Nuo, he knew that he couldn't escape.

Of course, Cheng Yaojin suffered a loss in the sea, so naturally he couldn't let Cheng Chumo, his own son, mother, your father was tossed so badly in the sea, you actually stood aside and watched the joke?How can I make you feel better?

Well, the final result is that Xiao Cheng can only accompany Lao Cheng to splash in the sea, but fortunately, Cheng Chumo has been trained in the navy seriously, and although he is not a sea dragon now, his water quality is better than Cheng's. It's not just one or two points that bite Jinqiang.

Ten days later, the entire fleet returned, and Zuo Wuwei returned to his camp in despair from top to bottom. If Cheng Yaojin hadn't gritted his teeth and insisted, he might not have been able to arrange even the most basic camp defense.

Seeing this, Zhang Nuo also shook his head.There is no way, swimming is a disaster for men in Guanzhong these days, but Zhang Nuo doesn't want them to be landlubbers for the rest of their lives.

After all, future wars will basically be fought across seas. Although I don’t know how many of these idiots will be able to participate in the war at that time, Zhang Nuo has to prepare for the future, even if these people really can’t enter the battlefield , The Navy has also accumulated some training experience, right?

Chapter 784 Treat Zhang Nuo as a father

Zuo Wuwei rested for two full days before he regained his composure, but time waited for no one. Li Shimin and many courtiers were about to arrive in an airship, and the exercise was about to begin. How could Zhang Nuo have time for them? These guys go to rest.

Therefore, with the arrival of Li Shimin and others, the landing exercise battle finally kicked off.

According to the regulations of the exercise, Zuo Wuwei's entire army carried ten days' supplies of food and supplies, boarded the navy ship in full armor, and stayed in the cabin honestly.

The air force also arrived at the Zuowuwei camp at this time, and they will have a short repair here after Zuowuwei leaves. After all, the speed of the airship is much faster than that of sea navigation.

So they will board the boat in six hours, and then they won't have to stay in the sky for too long.

After all, at present, staying in the sky for a long time can not always maintain combat power. At least you can only eat cold food, and drink water as much as possible, so it is no wonder that the soldiers will not be affected after a long time.

Naturally, Zhang Nuo would not go on a naval ship. He was sitting with Li Shimin and others on a special airship this time. Help people explain.

After all, there are some things, if you don't explain them, you really can only watch the excitement.

Six hours later, as the air force unit was repaired and began to board the ship, Zhang Nuo also called Li Shimin and others to the special airship.

In fact, this airship has basically been converted into a special passenger airship, and it can even be said to be Zhang Nuo's private airship. It not only has more comfortable seats, but also has a master bedroom and several guest bedrooms. Compared with ordinary airships, there is no doubt that there is one sky and one underground.

Seeing the curious ministers one by one, Zhang Nuo didn't mind. First, he took them for a walk around the airship. This is his own private airship. He pays attention to comfort and also serves as a command ship. In a state of war, this airship will be the command center for the entire war.

So this airship not only has a special conference room, but also a special telegraph room. It can be said that during the battle of Fusang, Zhang Nuo can even sit on the airship and use the telegram to broadcast live to Li Shimin simultaneously.

This airship was obviously paid for by Zhang Nuo. From the various modern products that can be seen everywhere on the airship, it is known that Zhang Nuo personally paid for it.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the large double-layer glass that can be seen everywhere, Datang basically can't produce this thing at present, the technology is not up to the mark, and it can't be done well.

But I have to say that taking this thing out is enviable. Few of Li Shimin's courtiers have actually been on an airship. At this moment, they are all looking around like curious babies.

After Zhang Nuo led them for a stroll, he didn't care about it, and led everyone to the rest area in front to rest.

The sofas here are all movable ones, the ones that you can lay your back down and rest directly when you are tired.

There is no need for Zhang Nuo to talk about these things. The staff on the airship and Zhang Nuo's guards have already known it clearly. Under Zhang Nuo's signal, they took the initiative to explain and demonstrate to these ministers, which caused a lot of trouble. exclaimed.

Zhang Nuo brought Li Chengqian and Li Shimin together to the meeting room, opened the curtains directly, looked at the clear sky and white clouds outside and sighed,

"Fortunately, the weather is good today, otherwise it will be a big trouble when we land!"

Li Shimin hadn't spoken yet, but Li Chengqian asked first.

"Uncle Zhang, if the weather is bad, wouldn't it be more difficult to find enemies?"

Zhang Nuo nodded with a smile, patted Li Chengqian's little head habitually and replied,

"Chengqian, you have to know that we are never afraid of the enemy. Our goal is to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible. You have seen the attack plan before, so you should know that before landing, we must carry out air and sea battles." Double fire covered!"

"Then while the firepower is covering, Zuo Wuwei on the naval ship has to land on a raft. Think about it, does the landing at this time care whether the other party can see or not?"

"Our opponent in the landing battle has never been the dwarfs in Fusang. Our opponent is Tianshi. You have also been on a navy ship. You should know that even navy warships shake scary when the wind and waves are strong, let alone those What about the landing raft?"

"So, whether it's a drill or a real war, I must choose a time when the weather is better before starting the fight, understand?"

Li Chengqian nodded to show that he understood, and at the same time secretly glanced at his father.

Li Shimin naturally saw Li Chengqian's sneak peek just now, but he simply pretended not to see it. He is a typical strict father, the kind who would not say a few words even if he was extremely satisfied with his son, maybe in private Sometimes I can still give a few compliments, but now that Zhang Nuo is present, naturally I can't say more, so I put on a straight face and pretend I didn't hear it.

It's not easy for Zhang Nuo to persuade him. This is a matter of getting along between father and son. It's fine to say a few words occasionally. It's a bit shallow to say something in front of people.

When Li Chengqian saw his father, he simply acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He sighed silently in his heart. He really wanted to hear a few words of praise from his father, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get it. A word or two of praise from Li Shimin.

As time passed, Li Chengqian even had a feeling that who was his son, why did he feel that being with Uncle Zhang was more like a father and son.

This is not the first time he has felt this way. He didn't feel it when he was in the palace, because Li Shimin was the only father there. But when he arrived in Lantian City and really came into contact with ordinary families, he discovered that it turned out that The father and the son get along so well.

What should be praised should be praised, what should be scolded, the child is obedient and sensible, and has good grades, so he will take it out for a while, and if he is mischievous and causes trouble, he will close the door and get a fat beating.

This fits perfectly with Zhang Nuo's relationship with him, and Zhang Nuo is indeed his elder, and he also respects this uncle who always thinks of him and has taught him a lot of knowledge.

Although Zhang Nuo has no blood relationship with him, speaking of it, he may be the one who has the closest relationship with Li Shimin and the entire royal family among all the people. Except for him, even Li Shimin's younger brothers and Li Chengqian's real uncles. Also more like a courtier than a brother.

Therefore, Li Chengqian secretly thought in his heart that he would treat Uncle Zhang as his father in the future, so let's just follow Uncle Zhang and forget about it!

Chapter 785 Zhang Nuo's Please

Zhang Nuo naturally didn't know Li Chengqian's thoughts, even if he knew, he didn't really care much. The so-called being a father is nothing more than respecting him. Could it be that Li Chengqian doesn't respect him now?

Although the relationship between him and Li Chengqian is very good for the time being, it is not a generation after all. After Li Chengqian succeeds to the throne of God, it will be even more impossible to be as close as he is now.

After all, the emperor is a creature that ordinary people can't get close to. Even if Li Chengqian respects him as always, he is not from the same generation as Li Chengqian after all. Could it be that he is really putting on airs in front of the emperor?

Zhang Nuo's mind is now full of thoughts about the next exercise. This is not only a demonstration of the two newly formed arms of the navy and air force, but also an assessment of them. After all, soldiers have to fight. Whether it is a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a walk.

At the same time, this is also a summary of Zhang Nuo's unremitting efforts to promote the development of Datang for so long. How much has the military strength increased? Is it as miraculous as Zhang Nuo said? In fact, we will see later Just know.
