Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 224 The big fish is coming!

You have no idea how your unique training methods have dealt a severe blow to the uncontaminated people here, nor do you know the impact your actions have had on the entire Xiangyang garrison.

[You are only focused on training your subordinates according to the methods taught by your father-in-law!]

[After all, no matter what the future holds, and no matter whether or not I'll have another chance to achieve great things in my lifetime, as long as my subordinates are elite enough, then when an emergency occurs in the future, I'll be able to immediately seize the opportunity to make a contribution!]

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. You are so eager to make achievements, so you really want to make progress...

[With such a positive attitude, you will be even more enthusiastic about training your subordinates! ]

As your progress becomes more and more apparent, the other soldiers under your command can't help but become curious about you: "It's strange! Everyone else wants to slack off every day, but why do these people train so passionately and even tearfully every day?"

What kind of kindness education is this?

Out of curiosity, many soldiers from other divisions involuntarily engaged in a traditional human skill: watching the excitement.

Whenever you conduct routine drills, a large group of idle soldiers gather to watch from afar... First, they're so uniformly following orders that they can't help but scratch their heads: Why are you doing this when you have nothing to do? It won't improve your combat effectiveness, will it?

However, those who understand the situation understand that a strong army cannot just charge recklessly. A truly strong army has soldiers who coordinate with each other and can accurately understand and execute their superiors' orders!

Although a good formation doesn't necessarily mean a strong army, a strong army can certainly form a good formation. It all depends on whether they want to... So in a sense, an army that can enforce discipline already has the foundation to become an elite army...

[And the strict discipline is just your appetizer. The next step is the spearmanship instruction that will really surprise them!]

You first personally taught the soldiers the basics of spearmanship on the battlefield. Once they had mastered it, you slowly began to explain various practical spearmanship techniques... Although your words were simple, the things you taught were extremely practical. Many onlookers couldn't help but try them out themselves, and they found them to be truly useful!

[True teachings can be conveyed in one sentence, false teachings can be conveyed in ten thousand books. This...this is all real stuff!]

Everyone secretly made a resolution: As the saying goes, "more skills are better than less." Although we're not fighting now, it's still good to learn a few more practical skills... When we get back, we'll practice them ourselves!

[Hmm! This master, I’m definitely going to steal it…]

[Just like that, you guys practiced each and every one of your exercises, and the onlookers had a feast for their eyes. They had a great time watching and learned a lot!]

[After practicing these daily activities, seeing that the time is almost up, you let everyone rest while you slowly begin the cultural teaching session that everyone is most interested in...]

Sitting on the platform in the parade grounds, facing hundreds of curious eyes, you slowly begin: "Yesterday we told the story of the Three Heroes fighting Lü Bu. Today, I'll tell you about Zhao Zilong's battle against Cao Cao's 830,000-man army at Changbanpo, and his subsequent slaying of over 50 of his generals..."

[“I would like to state in advance that this story is roughly 30% fiction and 70% historical fact. Some content is purely fictional. Any similarities are purely coincidental…”]

"Ah! Let's begin... Let's talk about Zhao Yun, a general under Liu Bei. He rides a white horse called the Jade Lion of the Night and wields a Dragon Gallbladder Spear of Bright Silver. He's incredibly brave, unmatched by ten thousand men... At that time, Cao Cao was sweeping across the north, leaving the south unconquered. So, he led an army of 830,000 south to Jingzhou, frightening the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Cong, into surrendering. Liu Bei, stationed in Xinye to defend against Cao Cao, was caught off guard and forced to lead his people across the river... Our story takes place during that time..."

[In just a few words, you told a classic scene from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in public!]

[As for why you're talking about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? It's because you've already covered all the famous wars, from King Wu's conquest of King Zhou to Yue Fei's resistance against the Jin Dynasty. If you go any further, you'll only be able to talk about Yue Fei's unjust death at Fengbo Pavilion...]

So, you had no choice but to use novels outside of official history to make up the numbers. Although it wasn't realistic enough, at least it made it understandable and enjoyable for the soldiers, and further deepened the education of the feudal values ​​of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism"...

[So, the image of a handsome general on a white horse and holding a silver spear emerged in everyone's mind: he was loyal to his monarch, he was a skilled warrior, and he had a perfect image...] [Song Bingjia: Oh my God! This is exactly me!]

Song Soldier B: Joy!

[Anyway, everyone was delighted to hear it... After all, this kind of story about a loyal savior, and a man who fought bravely against a sea of ​​ruthless enemies, is the ultimate delightful story for soldiers in feudal society...]

But there are always exceptions. For example... just when everyone is still immersed in your story, a dissenting young man suddenly snorts, "Boast! Just brag! You even bravely fought against Cao Cao's 830,000-man army... Did Cao Cao even know he had 830,000 men?"

For a moment, everyone was stunned, then glared at him unhappily: "Damn it! I'm just listening to a good story, and do I need you to remind me?"

"Thank you, Mungu Ren! If it weren't for your resourcefulness, we would all be kept in the dark!"

[In short, everyone looked at this self-righteous sober person with displeasure...]

However, this person didn't seem to think he had any problem. Facing the speechless gazes of the crowd, he said dissatisfiedly, "Not only are you inflating the number of people, but you also keep promoting the ancient figures of the Three Kingdoms... If you have the guts, name a hero from our Great Song Dynasty!"

[“For example, Marshal Yue! Zhao Yun’s achievements are fake, but our Marshal Yue’s are real! You ignore the real heroes and instead praise Zhao Yun from the Three Kingdoms. I think you are just a person who values ​​the past over the present…”]

"Also, you're bragging about Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear, stabbing over fifty of Cao Cao's generals to death. I think you have other intentions... Are you trying to use Zhao Yun's spear skills to brag about your own?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was furious: "Damn it! Are you really here to lecture me? You're making a big deal out of a storytelling session. If you have time for that, why don't you just cross the river and fight the Jin army in the north..."

You looked at the young man speaking across from you, feeling unhappy and about to engage him in a debate... but your father-in-law stopped you with a hand.

[The Prime Minister looked at this person with great interest, especially at his attire... Then he spoke to you for a few words. As he spoke, you couldn't help but frown...]

【"interesting!"】

You suddenly smiled: "It seems this brother has other intentions... You're pointing this at me, perhaps you're trying to say my spear skills aren't that great, right?"

The other party was stunned, seemingly surprised that you'd actually brought up this topic... But after a moment's thought, he nodded. "That's fine with me... I think your spearmanship is truly lacking, and even a bit of a show-off! In fact, you're not even as good as me!"

"How about this, let's have a competition!"

He said sternly, "If you win, you won't have to do anything else. I'll just let you be the spear and stick instructor for the 300,000-man army in Xiangyang!"

"If you lose... you'll be my personal soldier..."

【You suddenly have an idea.】

Big fish is coming!
