The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Hearing that it was the general who came to train him, these people were relieved, and they were greatly relieved.

False alarm, false alarm.

Since it is not an enemy army, but an officer of the Song Dynasty, his life is safe.

These soldiers climbed up one after another, and there was no threat to their lives. Thinking that the chief actually acted as an enemy soldier to scare them, they couldn't help feeling resentful.

"Who told you to get up? You bastards are so greedy for life and afraid of death. With weapons in your hands, you gave up resistance and fled! If we are really from the Liao Kingdom, you will all die here today!" Rong scolded angrily.

When they first met, they were beaten severely, and the soldiers who had stood up just now trembled and dared not move.

There was silence for a while.

Hua Rong said to the coach who was also pretending to be a person from the Liao Kingdom, "You can show them how to do push-ups. You should follow the instructions and do fifty push-ups before you can stand up!"

These four instructors are the best in the Shenwu Army, and they were chosen by him to be his assistants.

Ten days before coming, Huarong trained them first.

Hua Rong asked someone to move a chair to the front of the martial arts hall. After he sat down, he looked around the arena majestically, and asked the coaches to supervise these people to train according to the requirements.

It was the first time for the soldiers to see such a way of punishing people, but they all felt that it was much easier than being whipped, so they followed suit.

But once I did it, I realized that the physical demands on my body were too high, and I blushed and my neck became thick after I did it a few times, and my arms went limp, and I fell to the ground.

"No, I can't do it! Kill me!" Some people simply gave up because they didn't believe that Hua Rong could really kill themselves.

"Can't do it? Okay!" A trainer came over, picked up the man's collar, and pulled him aside, "Squat down halfway! Only the heel of one foot is allowed to touch the ground."

The man did the same, and after a while, he felt his legs were sore and stiff, as if tens of thousands of ants were gnawing on him, and his body swayed.

He couldn't take it anymore, and he squatted on the ground.

As if he had come alive, he let out a comfortable breath, but before he could finish his breath, he was kicked over by the coach who was watching him next to him, fell to the front, and then hit him like raindrops of the horse whip.

The cries of ghosts and wolves spread all over the school grounds. Seeing him like this, the others thought it would be easier to do push-ups.

A soldier's arms were so sore that it was not his own, and he could no longer support his arms with all his strength.

Trembling, barely holding up a little, "35, thirty...six..."

Suddenly, a foot stepped on his back, and he turned his face to the ground in an instant, and knocked his nose hard.

"You are not men, you are a bunch of wimps! You can't even do such a simple movement, what are you doing alive?! You should look at your own faces in the mirror, and cry like a bitch!" The instructor scolded.

Hua Rong listened to the abuse in the arena, and did not say a word from the beginning to the end, allowing the voices of cursing and crying father and mother to mix together, until the last person persisted in counting, "49...fifty..."

"First fix the time for a stick of incense." Hua Rong stood up and ordered someone to light the incense.

The soldiers lying all over the ground gasped for breath, and at the same time thought in fear, what is "first", and will there be training afterwards?

It really made them guess right, and after a while, they saw a carriage coming in, with a whole cart of wood as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

"Five people carried one and ran around the school field. I said stop and stop!"

"General, General... This will kill people..." You boldly protested.

"Then die, anyway, wastes like you are going to test Liao and Jin's swords on the battlefield, it's better to die at home, so as to save yourself from embarrassment." Hua Rong said coldly.

Seeing that his eyes were cold, the crowd didn't mean to scare people, it seemed that they really thought so, and they were immediately frightened.

No matter how dull a person is, he also knows that there will be big trouble this time, and he will never be able to get away with it casually like before.

Many people have already stood up with their bodies strong, but they still have hob meat, and they just lie on the ground without moving, thinking that if you kill me, forget it.

When the instructors saw that there were still people who could not get up, they swung their whips and beat them, "Get out!"

Some couldn't bear the pain. After all, every whip was like a snake bite. When the whip came down, tears burst out by themselves. Unable to bear it, they jumped up to carry the logs.

In the end, on the school grounds, there was only one person holding his head, curled up and lying on the ground, no matter how much he was beaten and scolded, he would not move.

The coaches had no choice but to look at Hua Rong and tell him to make up his mind.

Hua Rong walked down, came up to this person, and said with a sneer, "You guys really impress me. A person can do this in order to earn a living, but he has such perseverance but doesn't want to be a human being. Well, it's not that you don't want to cooperate with the training. Well, I am as you wish. Can you always stand up? Go over there and stand facing the wall!"

When the man heard this, he looked at Hua Rong through the gap between his arms, and seemed to want to say, really?

Huarong answered him casually, "Really, go. By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is... Wan Guangjiu."

Hua Rong nodded slightly, as if he remembered his name, "Go and stand!" Then he turned and went back to the Martial Arts Hall, watching other people running around with logs on their shoulders.

Physical training is basic training, and they usually do it too, but it is mostly just a formality, and such high-intensity training has never been done before.

It all depends on the perseverance of not wanting to be whipped.

Because I was "trapped" by General Hua, who was disguised as an enemy army, and was accused of giving up resistance in the face of the enemy army and running away. People, wherever they go to reason, they don't have an advantage.

After a day of training, all the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and the camp was full of voices calling for father and mother.

They had worked so hard, and the four coaches rushed in with black faces, and they were about to beat them with their whips, "Don't make a sound! Those who make a sound, stand with Wan Guangjiu!"

At the end of the day, I was afraid of being beaten, those who bit the quilt, those who bit the quilt, those who bit the finger, dared not make a sound.

It was only now that everyone remembered that there was someone like Wan Guangjiu standing in the school grounds.

At the same time, Wan Guangjiu didn't want to leave, his legs were already numb and he lost consciousness.

But he knew he couldn't move.

Because he only needs to squat, or turn around, and he will...

Suddenly, he heard a buzzing sound, and suddenly saw a wasp hovering not far above his head.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly hid to the side, and when he was moving, an arrow flew past his ear, and nailed to the wooden wall in front of him with a bang, the feather on the tail of the arrow hit him. High-frequency vibrations next to the cheeks.

He didn't even breathe.

That's why he couldn't move, as soon as he moved, arrows flew over to remind him not to act rashly.

He couldn't move, let alone turn around.

About two hours ago, he tried to turn his head once, and halfway through his turn, he was shot by an arrow without a point.

Although there was no sharp arrow in front, the impact was so powerful that he fell to the ground and retched again and again.

From then on, he didn't dare to look back, and he didn't dare to move.

I don't know when an arrow will fly, the feeling is really scary.

Don't be afraid of what happens, just be afraid of [-], if the other party misses, he will die immediately.

He regretted it, regretted it very much, it was better for others to lift the logs together than to stand here.

The wasp flew around him as if against him.

Go away, go away—

But how could the hornet understand his words?Instead, it flew closer and closer.

He didn't know what to choose between taking another arrow or being stung by a wasp.

At this moment, another arrow flew towards him, and a gust of wind brushed against him, hitting the wasp impartially, and piercing it into a meat paste.

Wan Guangjiu was stunned, what kind of magical arrow is this?

He was afraid from the bottom of his heart, and he had a better understanding of what kind of person he had met.

This time, he really didn't dare to move another half step, allowing his legs to stand swollen like petrified.

The night came, and the surroundings were strangely quiet, only the sound of his breathing.

At first, he was still thinking about how to get through it, but as time went by, he didn't want to think about anything, even his mind went blank.

Until the next morning, he heard the sound of others practicing again behind him.

Only then did he realize that he had just spent the night like this.

And the others also found that Wan Guangjiu stood facing the wall all night.

Hua Rong said loudly at this time: "Today has today's training task, if you don't want to obey, you can go and stand with Wan Guangjiu."

How can anyone dare not follow?They didn't dare to vent their anger, and stood in fear.

"Every twelve of you form a team, and then he nominates a person, who will then be responsible for managing your team. You will be given an incense stick of time, if you don't finish within the stipulated time, everyone will add ten laps!"

As soon as the order was issued, they all formed a team with the people around them, and selected someone to be the captain.

It was only a team of 500 people, except for Wan Guangjiu, after rounding up the team, there were still seven people left.

Hua Rong called the selected captains to come to the front and said, "You will be responsible for the training of your team from now on. If someone fails to complete the task, I will punish you. If someone is timid in the real battle, I will kill you!"

The expression of the selected person changed greatly.

In order not to be punished or killed, he had to supervise other people. If someone did not train, he would fight first; if someone fled without fighting, he would hack to death first.

As for the remaining seven people, it turned out that they were not well-known or did not have a small group, and they were very suitable for supervision and small reports.

"Seven of you, monitor everyone, and you are not allowed to talk casually at any time, training, eating, sleeping at any time, anywhere. If the coaches find that you are negligent, you will bear the consequences."

The seven people nodded hurriedly.

Hua Rong said to the soldiers again: "If you have something to say, report it first, otherwise these seven people will monitor you and talk privately. I believe you can guess the consequences."

Isolate everyone and prohibit the exchange of emotions and thoughts with others.

On the isolated island, there is only one source of sound, and that is him.

These soldiers can only hear voices from above, orders from above.

Other voices cannot be heard, and do not need to be heard.

Just listen and obey.

High-intensity physical training, while exercising the body, also eliminates people's rebellious consciousness and establishes the authority of the superior.

As Gao Ming said, after training every day, I am so tired that I don’t even have the strength to think, so I don’t think anymore. In addition, even if I want to communicate, I can’t start it. In this way, everyone is like an isolated island, and becomes After being isolated, it is easy to instill other consciousnesses.

Other awareness?Hua Rong recalled this, and couldn't help thinking that he didn't know what Gao Ming was going to do next, but he seemed to have a plan.

Hua Rong finished his memories, looked at the group of soldiers in front of him, and ordered the instructor, "Distribute the paper."

The coach will send each twelve sheets of paper to these captains.

"Go back and distribute the papers one by one. Everyone spreads the papers under their bodies, and then does push-ups. The papers are soaked with sweat, and the morning warm-up training can be finished." Hua Rong said.

Everyone fully realized that they had fallen into the devil's lair.

At this moment, there was a bang, and it turned out that Wan Guangjiu fell down.

Hua Rong said to the coach: "Drag him down." Then he ordered loudly: "All those who looked back at Wan Guangjiu just now, run five more laps!"

—

At the same time, Gao Ming was standing in front of the Yamen of Taichang Temple, because he was going in to find someone who would be very powerful in the future.

But now, the impression left by this person is also very powerful, just referring to his temper.

Hard enough, stubborn enough.

The painting style is different from those in the court hall who are smiling and stabbing in the back.

This person has always had something to say to his face, even to the emperor.

So after winning the Jinshi, he had been supervising the censor, but because he talked against the emperor's lungs, he was relegated to Taichang Temple as Shaoqing.

Taichang Temple has been in charge of sacrifices in all dynasties, and it is quite leisurely.

In the Song Dynasty, it was even more leisurely. Under the redundant officials, the Taichang Temple split into a Taichang Temple to manage specific affairs, so the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple became the ears of the deaf—a display.

Except for a salary, it is useless.

To torture those who want to go to acupuncture to criticize the current malpractice, let alone the residual heat in Taichang Temple, even a gleam of light cannot be emitted.

Gao Ming stepped into the gate of Taichang Temple, walked straight into the main room, and saw a few lazy officials playing chess.

One of them showed some face and raised his head, "Who are you looking for?"

"Is your Li Shaoqing here?" Gao Ming asked.

"Ah, the third room on the left, his office." After finishing speaking, he continued to play his own chess.

Gao Ming thanked him, put down the curtain and left.

As for the two players who were playing chess, while looking at the chessboard, they said, "Who is this guy? What are you doing with that stinky stone?"

"Who knows. Li Gang is also the same. He used to be the censor, but now he is assigned to us. If he can't control his mouth, he will have to be relegated from Tokyo next time."

Gao Ming came to the room that the person mentioned just now, knocked on the door, and he heard the person inside say please come in, so he went in.

I saw a man with a square face sitting at the table, looking down at a book. He has thick eyebrows and a pair of energetic eyes, and he looks calm and majestic.

Gao Ming bowed, "Junior Gao Ming sees you, is this Li Gang and Li Shaoqing?"

Li Gang, the future famous minister and the main combat faction, repelled the Jin army's first attack to besiege Tokyo.

But now, Zhao Ji was very unhappy because he went to the imperial court repeatedly, so since Zhao Ji couldn't make him comfortable anymore, he transferred him to the idle yamen to waste his time.

Li Gang naturally knew that Gao Ming was responsible for exempting the old coin, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up to greet him, "It turns out that it is Mr. Gao, please sit down, I don't know why you are looking for someone today?"

As a hawk, Gao Ming felt that Li Gang should not be disgusted with him, including the view that he would not be slaughtered by the Liao Kingdom and refused to pay high old coins.

The fact is also the same, Li Gang is very warm to him and obviously supports his approach.

After Gao Ming sat down, he said, "I came here for nothing else, but to ask Your Excellency for something."

Li Gang couldn't help being puzzled, he had never had any contact with Gao Ming, and even his father, Gao Qiu, was busy targeting other courtiers, so he didn't bother to impeach Gao Qiu.

But although Gao Qiu is a courtier, his son is getting more and more promising.

The old coins were abruptly exempted from the hands of the Liao State.

He couldn't figure out Gao Ming, so he came to ask him what a young minister of the Taichang Temple was doing, "Please tell me? If I serve the country, I will die."

Gao Ming knew that Li Gang was straight-tempered despite being a civil servant, so he stopped talking nonsense.

"That's right, Shaoqing knows about the failure to negotiate the return of Youzhou as an envoy to Liao Kingdom a while ago?"

A patriot like Li Gang always pays attention to the trend of national affairs, how can he not know.

He nodded.

Gao Ming continued: "His Royal Highness Yun felt that the matter was due to the national strength of my Great Song Dynasty, so he proposed military training to the officials when he came back. The good news is that the officials agreed, but the bad news is that only small groups are allowed to practice first, and then expand after results are obtained. scope."

Li Gang didn't know about this kind of thing that hadn't been announced to the world, and he immediately became interested, "That's fine, at least it's a good start, I'm afraid that nothing will be done."

Seeing that he still couldn't figure out why Gao Ming came to him.

At least, it has nothing to do with him now.

"That's right. The one in charge of the training happened to be a friend of mine, Hua Rong. After our observations, we found that the root cause of the invincibility of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty was the lack of morale. Being a soldier is just dawdling. They often run away and lose without fighting. Obviously It is the configuration of a wolf, but the core is a sheep. When you encounter a tiger, you will run around and be defeated. Only the elite of the four imperial guards can still be seen. Xiangjun." Gao Ming sighed.

After hearing this, Li Gang stood up and said loudly: "That's too right! If you beat up a dozen robbers, it's okay. They are all from the Song Dynasty. When you meet soldiers from the Liao Kingdom, you will be scared immediately! The root cause is that ..."

A raging soldier, a raging nest, as for the emperor and ministers and other ruling classes...

Li Gang's words came to his lips, and he swallowed them. If he pointed the finger at the emperor, he would get angry.

"The root cause is..." Gao Ming pointed to his head, "The problem here is that they don't know why they are fighting! They must be made aware of why they are fighting! Scholars know how to defend their homes and the country. That's what they read in books. These soldiers don’t study, and they only listen to the instructor’s empty slogans on weekdays. Some even don’t even shout slogans. Why should we defend our home and country? This truth must be broken down and told to them!”

Li Gang's eyes lit up suddenly, which coincided with a thought in his heart.

The emperor can no longer be educated, but the soldiers can still save them.

Gao Ming continued: "I have always felt that thinking is also a sharp weapon, and it should be placed in the same important position as physical training. Soldiers can't just train their bodies, they need to train their minds."

In this era, no foreign students have brought back various doctrines from the East or the West, and there is a lack of emphasis on ideological education.

The Jin army is attacking by survival instinct, which is their driving force.

Then, Song Guo also has a sense of family and country that does not give up an inch of land to block it.

When the Jin army besieged Tokyo for the first time, Li Gang successfully stopped the car to persuade Zhao Huan, who was about to escape, to defend the enemy. His eloquence and clear thinking are absolutely outstanding in the contemporary world.

It couldn't be more appropriate for him to write the first reader of defending the country.

"What do you mean?" Li Gang understood what Gao Ming meant.

"I also ask Li Shaoqing to encourage writing and write a book to educate them." Gao Ming pointed out his purpose of coming and asked Li Gang to write a book.

Li Gang was assigned to Taichang Temple, and he couldn't criticize the ugly like he was a censor, so he had already held back his words.

Gao Ming asked him to write a book, which was simply a tailor-made emotional outlet for him.

What's more, he himself is very supportive of the military training, but he just wishes he could go to battle in person.

"Ask me to write?" Li Gang was emotional.

"That's right, please help me with this." Gao Ming said politely.

Li Gang left the table and paced back and forth, apparently because he was too excited.

When Gao Ming saw this, he further guided him: "It can't be too profound. It doesn't mean that you can't quote the scriptures, but you should speak it in a simple and concise language, which is easy to understand and spread. Tell them, what is the Great Song Dynasty, and why should we protect the Great Song Dynasty?" Song, what is the harm of not protecting."

Li Gang seemed to see all the heads of Guizhou staring at him, how to make these illiterate old men understand, it must be easy to understand.

In other words, even an old lady who has never been out of the village in her life can understand.

Li Gang nodded heavily, "I understand how to write."

Gao Ming went a step further and said, "Please tell them, 'Those who protect the country will be plotted by the king and his ministers who eat meat; those who protect the world will be humble and responsible." responsibility!"

This was proposed by Gu Yanwu at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the background was also a Jurchen invasion of the South.

Although across time and space, thoughts also shine brightly.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!" Li Gang repeated, then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "That's right, it's the horoscope!"

He always wanted to express a point of view, but he couldn't find the right language for a long time. He didn't expect Gao Ming to send him to his door today.

He only felt that he was as transparent as seeing the sun through the clouds.

It was Liang Qichao who proposed to condense Gu Yanwu's words into eight more concise words.

The crystallization of wisdom of giants standing on the shoulders of giants.

It is an unbreakable truth that spreads all over the world and spans thousands of years.

Gao Ming said: "Please also implement this idea in the reader, use it to educate soldiers, and pay close attention to ideological education. If the effect is good, I will become an official and implement it in the entire army."

Soldiers at the lower ranks have to study, and officers at the top not only have to study, but also have to take exams.If you have weapons in your hands, you must also have weapons in your mind.

To save the robbers from being captured, they all surrendered.

Li Gang couldn't restrain his emotions, and wished he could write a book now, "As I said just now, if I can contribute to this country, I will definitely not refuse. Give me some time, once the book is completed, I will definitely Give it to you to have a look."

"I'll wait for your good news." Gao Ming didn't bother, and left immediately to make room for Li Gang's creation.

Li Gang is a hawk in the main battle, and his thoughts will permeate in the words. It is not necessary for those soldiers to become as tough as Li Gang after being educated by this book, half of him, even half of the half will do.

The physical body can be defeated, but it cannot avoid perishing.

Only thought is eternal.

Gao Ming believed that Li Gang could write a book that would shock the past and the present, and become a torch that would lead the Song Dynasty out of its decadence, and a sharp weapon to sharpen the Song Dynasty's edge.
