In the early morning of winter, the air was damp and cold, even chilly enough to make people shiver. On the Yujinyuan battlefield, hundreds of Forbidden Army sergeants were wearing armors and practicing according to the command, with sweat on their foreheads and solemn expressions on their faces.
"prick!"
Tian Shouxin stood in the front row of the team, shouting slogans and thrusting out the spear in his hand.
He had rarely practiced the Liuhe gun. As the new emperor ascended the throne and his son Tian Yi was promoted and re-employed, he also joined the ranks of the Forbidden Army officers and served as the director in charge of the front office of the palace. Although his position was not high, it was As the emperor's imperial guard, he has great power.
He had also suspected that the stabbing technique was too simple, but after practicing, he felt that the power of the stabbing technique was indeed different.
Simple, direct, effective, and highly lethal, this is enough for soldiers on the battlefield.
After leading the sergeants to practice for a while, Tian Shouxin turned around, put down his spear, watched the sergeants' practice, and began to make corrections.
These sergeants are all the best in the Lin'an City Forbidden Army. Many of them come from the golden gun class and silver gun class, as well as low-level officers. They are all good at using guns. The training is easy to get started and Tian Shouxin does not need to worry too much.
"Practice well, what's good to see? You will all be officers in the future. If you don't practice well, how can you teach others?"
Noticing that the sergeants frequently looked at the women outside the gate and the wall, Tian Shouxin's face darkened and he reminded the sergeants seriously.
"Remember! Only half of you can stay. Those who are poor in training will go back to their respective armies. The remaining five times the salary will be sent to Jinling as instructors!"
Sure enough, with Tian Shouxin's reminder, the sergeants immediately started practicing attentively.
It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Five times the salary, and in Jinling City, which is not a remote place, who wouldn't be tempted?
"Instructor Tian, it's not that the sergeants are distracted. Look, there are so many young women watching. How can they not be distracted?"
During the break, swordsmanship instructor Gao Sheng said to Tian Shouxin with a smile.
He is a martial arts instructor and a master of swordsmanship, but he has never had the opportunity to go to the battlefield. He was transferred to Yujin Garden to be responsible for the training of swordsmanship among the officers.
"If so many women come to watch every day, who will have the time to train?"
Tian Shouxin shook his head and said helplessly.
The emperor's military order prohibits the people from being driven away at will. Yujin Garden is located in Lin'an City and cannot be set up as a restricted area. On the contrary, it will not be conducive to promoting the emperor's good governance to the people.
"Not so angry! People can see that the sergeants are training more vigorously. In addition to young women, there are many young men. I guess His Majesty thinks so too."
Goldman Sachs drank the water slowly and smiled.
Wouldn't it be too boring if there weren't those beautiful young women to look after?
"It seems like this is really the case!"
Tian Shouxin was startled and laughed dumbly.
Rumors that the emperor founded a martial arts hall spread like wildfire, and the children of Lin'an City flocked to it. There was an endless stream of people who came to Yujin Garden to watch the training. It may have spread from Lin'an City to all parts of the Song Dynasty.
The emperor's original intention in establishing the Martial Arts Hall was to recruit young talents from among the people. If more people saw it and the news spread, this may be the effect the emperor wanted.
"Instructor Tian, your son is the chief instructor of firearms and is also in charge of firearms casting. Your Majesty values him very much. He will be able to achieve great success and honor his ancestors. I hope you will support him more in the future!"
Goldman Sachs put down the water bowl and cupped his hands with a smile on his face.
"Old Gao, I'm serious. It's all thanks to the Emperor's grace that I help His Majesty solve your problems!"
Tian Shouxin was filled with joy and his expression remained unchanged.
With his son's ability and his relationship with the emperor, the Tian family is finally about to turn over. This is something I never dared to think about before.
"That's it, that's it!"
Goldman Sachs nodded slightly, but in his heart he looked down on Tian Shouxin's arrogance and arrogance.
When a person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, his son becomes a close minister of the emperor, and even I become a general of the imperial army, which plays a very important role.
Comparing people with each other makes people angry! Why don't you have such a good fortune?
"Instructor Tian, I heard that the stabbing technique was originally created by you? Is this true?"
Literary men look down upon each other, and warriors are no exception. As a master of swordsmanship in Pingyang, Zhejiang Province, Goldman Sachs disdained the few stabbing skills.
"Yes or no. It should be said that it was the Liuhe Spear of the Tian family that was improved by His Majesty, forming the current stabbing technique."
Tian Shouxin told the truth, but he was actually a little suspicious in his heart.
The son said that Zhao Hong improved the stabbing technique. Could it be to build momentum for Zhao Hong and flatter him?
"His Majesty's improved stabbing skills?"
Goldman Sachs was startled, and the smile immediately returned to his face.
"Your Majesty's self-created stabbing technique is indeed extremely powerful!"
Goldman Sachs said with a smile, then lowered his voice and hesitated:
"Instructor Tian, what do you think of this stabbing technique? How powerful is it? Just a few times, is it too simple?"
Seeing Goldman Sachs's suspicion, Tian Shouxin's face was stern.
"Instructor Gao, I don't think you have ever been on the battlefield. Fighting on the battlefield must be steady, precise, ruthless, simple and direct. The stabbing technique is simple and effective, and is very suitable for the battlefield."
Tian Shouxin looked at Goldman Sachs, who was blushing, and continued:
"When two armies meet, the brave one wins. On the battlefield, the two armies face each other head-on. Their bodies are bloody and life-and-death is a matter of a split second. The art of stabbing and lance seeing blood is all about courage and blood. As long as you don't run away from the battle, it will be difficult to defeat!"
"Your Majesty is indeed very discerning! I think your Majesty founded the Martial Arts Hall to make the soldiers more courageous and promote martial arts!"
The redness on Goldman Sachs's face receded, and he was thoughtful.
"In addition to courage and blood, there are also firearms. Courage and blood alone cannot compete with the cavalry of the northern nomads. With a two-pronged approach, maybe within a few years, our Song Dynasty official army will be able to change its appearance."
After Tian Shouxin finished speaking, he blew the whistle.
The sergeants gathered one after another and started a new round of drills.
Goldman walked away thoughtfully and thoughtfully.
Outside the wall of Yujin Garden, two girls were standing on horses tied to the trees, looking into Yujin Garden.
Beside them, several healthy servants led horses and carried knives, looking around boredly.
"This is how the officers in the martial arts hall are trained!"
The girl with an oval face and a cool look has a white complexion and a slim waist. She is dressed in a blue robe, which cannot hide her graceful and graceful figure.
"This is spear stabbing. Why didn't you see firearms training?"
Another girl with a round face and red clothes was handsome and handsome. She was fascinated by it, her dark eyes full of envy.
The two girls had black hair and beautiful faces, were dressed in luxurious clothes, and were followed by strong servants carrying swords. They were obviously the rich and powerful children of Lin'an City.
"Sisi, your father is the Minister of War, has he told you about the martial arts hall?"
The aloof girl Shi Huiyu supported the tree and watched, asking her companions, her eyes always staring at Yujin Garden.
Shi Huiyu's father, Shi Songzhi, was the nephew of former prime minister Shi Miyuan. He was appointed as the Secretary of the Jinghu Road System. After all, Shi Huiyu is still Shi Miyuan's great-nephew.
"My father gets angry when he sees me. How dare I ask? However, I heard from my mother that my father has been appointed as the deputy general manager of the Martial Arts Hall, and he will go to Jinling soon!"
Wei Sisi, a round-faced girl, is the daughter of Wei Liaoweng, the minister of the Ministry of War, and the sister of Wei Jinyu, a dandy in Lin'an City. Wei Liaoweng has two sons and two daughters, and Wei Sisi is his youngest daughter.
"Jinling? The martial arts hall must be located in Jinling City."
Shi Huiyu lowered his body and sat back on the horse.
Wei Liaoweng served as the deputy general manager of the Jiangwu Hall. Needless to say, the general manager of the Jiangwu Hall must be the emperor himself.
"I don't know, it must be!"
Wei Sisi didn't know what she thought of, so she also sat down and rolled her eyes.
"Tell me, if a martial arts school opens, will it accept female students?"
"Female student? No way!"
Shi Huiyu looked away in surprise and looked at the weird Wei Sisi.
From ancient times to the present, it seems that no official offices, especially those that train soldiers, have ever recruited women.
"Why don't you know it? Just go in and ask!"
Wei Sisi suddenly became interested.
"How do you get in? There are guards at the door!"
Shi Huiyu was startled and opened his eyes wide.
"Yujin Garden is so big, you can just find a place and jump in!"
Wei Sisi said enthusiastically.
Yujin Garden has been abandoned for decades. She has visited it more than once and is very familiar with it.
A group of dandies in rich clothes came over in sedan chairs and carriages. When they saw two young and charming girls on the horse, they stopped one after another, their eyes bright.
"Hey, little lady, what are you doing here?"
The leader of the green-robed dude asked with a playful smile. When he looked at the two girls, especially Shi Huiyu, his eyes immediately lit up.
Such beauties are so rare!
"What do you want me to do? Where did it come from? Go away now!"
Wei Sisi's eyes widened and she replied impatiently.
She didn’t know how many dandy boys she had seen in Lin’an City, but they all had the same moral character, drank, drank, and gambled, and there was nothing new about them.
"Oh, you're quite hot-tempered!"
The green-robed dude and his companions laughed.
"Little lady, you are out drinking in the cold wind in the dead of winter. Why don't you come with us to enjoy poetry and wine while enjoying your time? Wouldn't it be happy?"
"Follow you? Do you know me well?"
Shi Huiyu still didn't speak, so Wei Sisi yelled back.
"What's new once is familiar again, come with us!"
Another young man in green then laughed.
"Fuck you, you ugly guy! Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Wei Sisi's eyes immediately widened.
"Get out of here! You useless loser!"
Shi Huiyu couldn't help but began to drive away the scoundrels.
"You're welcome, what else can you do? Do you want to kiss me?"
The handsome man in green laughed.
"Wimp? You'll know if I'm a wimp when we're making out!"
The green dandy also joined in the playful conversation.
"Kiss you? I'll carve the word "kiss" on your face!"
Wei Sisi's face turned red, she jumped off the horse, reached out and pulled out the short knife.
Shi Huiyu also dismounted, holding a whip in hand, and stood in a row with Wei Sisi.
"Little lady, you two are so powerful, how can you get married in the future?"
Shi Huiyu was graceful and graceful, with picturesque features that made the green-dressed dude lose half of his body.
"Bold! Do you know whose daughter this is?"
Wei Sisi pulled out her sword, and the servants came up quickly.
"Tell me, whose little lady is this? I really want to hear it!"
"It must be someone from the Shi family who is so arrogant! Unfortunately, Shi Miyuan has already fallen!"
The dandies felt guilty when they saw that Wei Sisi and Shi Huiyu had horses and servants.
"Listen up! This is the daughter-in-law of Wei Xianggong, the Minister of War. This is the daughter-in-law of Shi Xianggong, Shi Songzhi. Why don't you hurry up and get out?"
The healthy servant raised his head proudly.
"Servant Wei's young master! She is indeed amazing!"
The green-clothed dude was startled and did not dare to be presumptuous again. He laughed and said:
"The young lady of the Shi's Mansion is indeed the most beautiful woman in Lin'an City, and her reputation is well-deserved. However, the Shi's Mansion has been defeated, and you side branches are about the same. Miss Shi, you are as beautiful as a flower, why don't you enter the palace and do the work If you are a concubine from an official family, then your historian family will be a blessing in disguise!"
The dandies laughed and walked away. Shi Huiyu's face turned red, but she remained silent.
"Huiyu, what they said is right. I see that you are not angry at all. You read the emperor's poems all day long. Why don't I find a way to bring you into the palace and meet the emperor. The emperor is young, handsome, wise and powerful, so you won't suffer! "
Wei Sisi laughed jokingly.
"Stop talking nonsense, how can the Emperor Ninth Five Emperors fall in love with me? Hurry up and see where you can get in?"
Shi Huiyu blushed and urged Wei Sisi.
"Look, your face is red, you must be in love!"
Wei Sisi was laughing and joking, looking at her followers with a serious look on her face.
"You go back first, or you wait here! We don't know when we will come back!"
Wei Sisi and Shi Huiyu left. The entourage looked at each other and could only wait where they were.
