In the largest tent in the entire military camp, Ruo Hai bowed to Yan Heng after entering.
Ruoxuan felt relieved when she saw her uncle walking in. "Uncle, why is it so late? I'm very hungry."
Yan Heng asked with concern: "Did something happen when I checked in?"
Ruohai smiled and said: "No, there are just too many people queuing up."
Ruohai didn't intend to mention some trivial matters.
Yan Heng didn't ask any more questions and greeted everyone with a smile to start eating.
The food in the military camp is naturally not as good as outside, but these two days are special days. New recruits are reporting in one after another. The food in the military camp is ready and there is meat for every meal.
Yan Heng was the general and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so he could enjoy some privileges. Although he usually ate the same food as the soldiers, he knew that Ruoxuan liked to eat sheep, so he bought a sheep with his own money and roasted the whole sheep. This is also the reason why Xiuxuan can't sit still.
But after the mutton was placed in front of her, Xiuxuan took a bite and put the mutton chops into Xuanyuan Que's bowl: "Brother Xuanyuan, help me remove the fat and burnt areas."
Xuanyuan Que picked up a dagger and helped Hua, who was becoming increasingly picky about food, trim off some of the burnt and fatty parts of the mutton, and then placed the tenderest and most fragrant parts in Wei Xuan's bowl, just enough for a bite.
Xiuxuan ate it happily, removing the burnt meat and excess fat. It was much more delicious!
While eating, she asked Yan Heng: "Uncle Yan, are we going to go archery later?"
Yan Jiaojiao immediately said: "Dad, you said we have been practicing riding and archery for a while. This time we come to the military camp and let's compete in archery and horse racing to see who has improved the most!"
Yan Heng said angrily: "I know, after dinner, I'll take you there after I've had a rest."
Today, he also asked other generals to bring their children who were practicing martial arts to the military camp and let the children compete. Tomorrow he plans to let the children train with the soldiers to see how hard the soldiers in the military camp train.
Most of the children of military generals will enter military camps in the future, so there is nothing wrong with getting in touch with them in advance.
Defending the homeland is not something that happens overnight, nor is it something that one person does for a lifetime. It is something that happens moment by moment and from generation to generation.
To cultivate outstanding soldiers, we should start from childhood. Even in peaceful times, we should not take it lightly. Who knows when the enemy will commit a crime?
Yan Heng has always believed that as a general, as a soldier, you should always be prepared for battle. You should make yourself stronger every day than you were yesterday, and you should not take it lightly for a moment.
Because if the enemy is strong and we are weak, then the country will be destroyed, the family will be destroyed, and the mountains and rivers will be broken!
Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot be weak. If you are weaker by one point, your enemy will be three points stronger than you.
Several children ate very quickly when they heard it.
On weekdays, they practice riding and shooting on the villa. The terrain is limited, so how can they be as happy as in the military camp?
Yan Huan said to Ruoxuan: "Xuan Bao, you usually go to martial arts classes. You spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. You must not have learned how to ride a horse yet! I will take you with me in a while. We will ride a horse together. I can ride well." alright!"
Ruoxuan refused directly: "No, I want to ride by myself, I ride very well!"
Zhang Lian: "Xuan Bao, you've only had one archery class. You still don't know how to draw a bow, right? I'll teach you later!"
Finally there is something better than Xuan Bao!
Ruoxuan waved her hand: "No need to teach me, I can do it! Let's compete later to see who can shoot better!"
Although Xiuxuan has not taken any martial arts classes, she is learning something. As long as she understands it, the skill will naturally improve by practicing it in her mind during practice.
She practices very diligently on weekdays, basking in the sun every day, and practicing in her dreams when she sleeps at night. In her dreams, she practices the martial arts lessons she has learned countless times, so please call her a martial arts master!
"Okay, Xuan Bao is so smart, he must be very good at archery even if he doesn't have to take classes." After saying this, Zhang Lian thought in his heart that Xuan Bao almost stopped listening to one of Xuan Bao's martial arts classes and was busy planting flowers every day. As for medicinal herbs, archery can only be learned through practice. She didn't practice, and she didn't know if she could hit the target for a while. Let Xuan Bao see what a marksman is in a moment!
His archery skills were slightly worse than Yan Huan's. Ninety out of a hundred shots hit the mark, and one of them hit the bull's-eye.
Let Xuan Bao see how powerful he is, and finally there is something he is better than her at!
Yan Huan: "Then let's eat quickly. Let me tell you, the shooting range in the military camp is huge!"
Yan Jiaojiao nodded: "My second brother is right, it's fun! Let's eat quickly!"
Eating is such a waste of time, and a trip to the military camp is not easy.
So the children speeded up, and Xiuxuan didn't mind that some of the mutton was too fat and overcooked. She couldn't wait for Xuanyuan Shenjun to finish processing all the mutton chops in the bowl, so she took the half-processed mutton chops from Xuanyuan Que's hands. Chew it up.
Xuanyuan Que silently put down the dagger, picked up the hot cotton towel on the table and wiped his hands. He watched Ruoxuan chewing the mutton chops with relish and thought: So this flower is not picky, she just deliberately finds something to do by herself!
Look, these fat ones that are not burnt are delicious to eat?
Soon, several children finished their lunch, and then they were clamoring to go to the racecourse and shooting range of the military camp to compete.
Yan Heng asked Yanshan to send Ruohai back to the recruiter's office, while he took several children to the racecourse.
The racecourse in the camp is very large, and there are two in total, which are specially used for cavalry training on horseback shooting.
In the past two days, due to the recruitment and registration of new recruits, many soldiers were needed to help. The soldiers' training starts before dawn, so the cavalry shooting range is basically empty in the afternoon.
There are already more than a dozen children riding horses here. These are the children of other generals in the military camp.
Each child was accompanied by a soldier.
Yan Heng first took a few children to choose horses.
There are also some horses in the military camp that are still underage. This batch was newly purchased and planned to be used by potential recruits.
Zhang Lian asked curiously: "Why are there so many young horses in the military camp? Won't these young horses panic on the battlefield?"
He also wants to enter the military camp in the future, knowing that it is better to have strong soldiers and horses.
After hearing this, Ruoxuan said: "It is easier to start training from a young horse to create a tacit understanding between the horse and its owner."
"Xuan Bao is right." Yan Heng praised.
Yan Heng did not expect Xuan Bao to understand this at such a young age. He originally proposed to purchase young horses in large quantities, but was opposed by many of his subordinates.
When Yan Heng trained cavalry, he liked to let the soldiers pick a young horse and have the soldiers feed it. This cultivated a relationship from an early age. This way, they would have a better tacit understanding and be able to unite the horse and man even more on the battlefield.
The Feiyan Army led by Yan Heng is famous for its powerful cavalry and archery. When the men and horses are integrated, one can defeat a hundred!
Yan Heng's mount was delivered by him personally and raised since childhood. One person and one horse are invincible on the battlefield, and they have a tacit understanding.
