Chapter 95: The Method of Training Soldiers

  Zhao Xi felt for the first time that his father was not mediocre, but had been suppressed by his personality.

  It's just this move, it's not like anyone can make this turn, but Lao Die did it so casually.

  Lao Chen Lin is knowledgeable and skilled, not only is he good with his hands, but in his youth, he also followed the army to battle, it's no wonder that he can write such divine characters.

  If anyone thinks it's inappropriate for a eunuch's name to be placed in the military roster, then let whoever wants to write it do so.

  Zhao Xi didn't lead the crowd directly to the training grounds, but instead went to the barracks first... had to let Niang Niang see that the over 100,000 guan he brought from Nei Yuan were actually used for something.

  Adhering to the principle of thriftiness, Zhao Xi did not push for a complete reconstruction of the entire military camp but instead made adaptations as needed.

  It's like the barracks... how to describe it, it's purely copied from the style of later military camps, except for the exterior which belongs to this era, the interior is all from later times. Of course, what can be had is there, what can't be had can't be made up out of thin air.

  It's quite interesting, the sign at the entrance is: Class, after entering, it's that kind of bed against the wall...it turns out beds can be upper and lower.

  Each bedside is a cabinet and table connected to the bed, with small stools stuffed under the bed...

  Never mind, it's a military camp after all. The only difference is that Zhao Xi didn't put the civilian officials and military generals in the same room... at least not for now.

  When they arrived at the training ground, Zhao Xi had managed to change into a new set of clothes... which made people feel awkward.

  Zhao Xi, on the other hand, was enjoying it. Apart from the fabric being linen and the shoes being cloth shoes, they also had to uphold good traditions... leg wraps, and everything else, even the color, was the same as their training uniforms.

  This is also why everyone feels awkward.

  "Xī ér, why is it this color?"

  Zhao Zhen thought that the Forbidden Army's attire was fine and couldn't understand why Xi'er had made it like this. Although he wouldn't say anything on the imperial court, some criticisms were certain.

  "Dad, wait for me to demonstrate."

  No demonstration of selecting soldiers for the project, but instead demonstrating the training uniform first.

  The weeds around the training ground were still left by Zhao Xi, and this military camp was originally in a mess, but some people made good use of it.

  Zhao Xi quickly ran towards the training ground... Looking at these familiar yet strange facilities, he really wanted to go through it again.

  Doudou made a circle and waited until Zhao Xi turned around the brick wall, then crawled back into the grass, slowly crawling out of the bushes again, and stayed there motionless.

  "Great Companion, what does the Crown Prince mean by this?"

  Zhao Zhen took a few steps forward, and the crowd followed him. But after crossing the brick wall, he still didn't see Zhao Xi.

  "The official said, 'The crown prince is right in front of you.'"

  This...can't be hidden from Chen Lin.

  He said so, Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao stared at each other, looking at Old Chen Lin again, then looking in front of them... Where is the person?

  This... As soon as Zhao Xi stood up, it was indeed right in front of him, within a distance of less than one arrow.

  Zhao Zhen understood, but it was Chen Lin and Cao Lin, who had military experience, who truly understood the meaning of this color.

  At this time, Cao Lin became more determined that he must be selected for the East Palace Guard. He not only wanted to get close to the Crown Prince, but also to create these new and strange things for the Crown Prince.

  He could imagine that the Donggong Guard would be the only one in the entire country, not just in status.

  "Xī ér, this source is what?"

  "Daddy, there are some insects on the grass and leaves that can't be seen even though they're close by. After careful observation, I found out that it's because their bodies are similar in color to the trees and grass. So, I ordered them to dye the hemp cloth into this color."

  Bionics, the more you talk about it, the less people understand, but talking nonsense like this will actually make people believe.

  For the color of this training uniform, Zhao Xi was worried at first. As a result, he chatted with the construction supervisors and found out that in this era, it was already possible to dye the original color of hemp fabric into different colors.

  What Zhao Xi requires is still the most basic and primitive plant dyeing, no more than messing up the standard patterns a bit.

  What's important is next. Zhao Ze was originally thinking of taking a look and then going back, but because of Zhao Xi's outfit, he became interested in all the projects.

  Regardless of whether the court is on holiday or not, just take it as a day off for yourself.

  Cao Lin also wanted to wear a suit like Prince's, but didn't dare say it. He just kept staring.

  "Brother, the training uniform is exclusive to the East Palace Guards. Before I become one of them, I won't make an exception for anyone."

  Some doors are open, some are not. Just like wearing a training uniform, Zhao Xi thought that in order to stand out and set an example, he had to make people feel that this was a symbol of status, and it wasn't something that could be easily obtained.

  But that's still not all, some things are still being done in the palace.

  "Your Highness, I understand."

  Do you know or don't you know, whatever the prince says goes.

  "The final selection requires running ten miles bare-handed first, and then proceeding with the following projects. What is meant by 'running ten miles bare-handed' is to run around that circle for ten laps..."

  Zhao Xi pointed to the flat and even ground next to him... That will be the future team formation training field.

  "I'll do it once, and you all remember the sequence and actions."

  Zhao Xi didn't know if he could still complete it smoothly with his current physical condition, but all the movements were very clear in his mind.

  From push-ups, sit-ups, arm bends, pull-ups, and then start crawling forward, overcoming obstacles...

  This was a subject he used to excel in, now... just barely passing is already panting.

  Young age is one aspect, but lack of systematic training is the most important reason.

  "Brother, what I just did was the most basic quantity and time standard."

  Zhao Xi went through it once, and his greatest feeling was... that the entire country may not be able to select a few qualified soldiers.

  Lao Chen Lin looked at it and didn't think much of it at first. He didn't think that the Crown Prince could establish a special military training method... The more he read on, the more he felt that something was off.

  After the Crown Prince finished, Old Chen Lin couldn't help himself and did it again just like the Crown Prince had done before...

  "Big companion, how are you?"

  "Government official, those who pass through this barrier are enemies of the people!"

  Although somewhat exaggerated, this time he really felt that the Crown Prince's method of training soldiers was not trivial.

  "From today on, the Imperial City Guard will station a large number of troops here and strictly guard this military camp!"

  What an enemy of the people! How can Zhao Zhen still be so calm?

  For many years, the various military states have been changing their tactics to train soldiers. Some use severe punishment and strict laws, while others reward the good and punish the bad. However, none of them have ever commented like Da Bin... Those are just superficial changes, how can they be compared with the carefully selected systems of later generations?

  Listening to Lao Die's arrangement, Zhao Xi was indifferent, but Cao Lin and several others were stunned.

  I was still planning to plead with His Highness the Crown Prince, so that they could come and take a few walks every day. Now...

  "Guān jiā, Lín ér, Jìng xián..."

  Translation: "Official residence, Lin Er, Jing Xian..."

  The queen didn't consider anything else, she didn't understand how powerful the things Xier was playing with were, all she knew was that Xier's bodyguards had to include someone from the Cao family.

  "Okay, let's make some entrance and exit signs."

  "Dad, I've already made the camp ID card for you. It's just... this ID card is only used to verify one's identity as a guard. Brother can use it temporarily and return it before the soldier selection day."
