"Master, madam, we have arrived!"
Around Chen time, Pang Feiji brought a team of carriages and horses to Yunshan Courtyard. Mrs. Li and Li Jingmo heard the sound and quickly jumped out of the car.
Li Zexuan and Han Yuxi who were in the room had heard the noise and came out.
"Father, mother, you are here!"
Han Yuxi stepped forward to support Mrs. Li and smiled.
"Hey! It's coming, it's coming! No need to support, no need to support, haha, this house is quite... unique, Yu Xi, are you still used to living in it?"
Mrs. Li smiled and patted Han Yuxi's hand and asked.
"Mom! It's very nice here. You won't get used to it. May I take you to see your and dad's room?"
Han Yuxi laughed softly.
Mrs. Li agreed, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the two men behind and went into the house.
"Ahem! Dad, please go in and sit down too!"
Li Zexuan coughed twice and said.
Li Jingmo looked around and replied: "No need, you can go and do your own business, walk around for your father, I will go to my in-laws' place to sit for a while!"
"Oh, that's okay!"
Li Zexuan nodded, then changed his expression, and shouted to Pang Feiji and others next to him: "Feiji, take them with you and follow me to the academy now!"
Pang Feiji was shaken and immediately bowed to accept the order: "Yes! Sir!"
After that, he turned around and shouted: "Line up!"
The guards knew what they would face next yesterday evening. At this moment, they did not dare to neglect. They all raised their spirits and quickly lined up, holding their heads high. Li Zexuan nodded with satisfaction and shouted :
"Let's go! No one can be left behind!"
After saying that, he got on his horse and ran forward first.
Pang Feiji and the guards were a little dumbfounded. What does this mean? You ride a horse and run in front, and let us chase behind you. You don't allow us to fall behind, right? Really good at playing~!
But at this time, there was obviously no time for them to hesitate, because Li Zexuan's words came from the front again, "Those who are left behind will not be allowed to eat at noon! If the formation is messed up, everyone will be fined to run ten miles!"
"Quick! Let's go!"
Pang Feiji's heart trembled and he shouted quickly. Only then did he realize that the military training Li Zexuan told him yesterday had already begun at this moment.
All the personal guards agreed with a loud voice, followed Li Zexuan in formation, and ran towards Yanhuang Academy, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground, and a "disgraced" Li Jingmo.
"Bah, bah, bah! These little bastards! They didn't even say a word to me when they ran away!"
Li Jingmo, who had eaten a mouthful of dust, was breathing heavily from behind.
……………………
"Well, not bad! It seems you still have some foundation! Your lunch is saved!"
After arriving at the entrance of Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan looked at the group of guards behind him who were breathing heavily but still in a neat formation, squinting his eyes and smiling.
Pang Feiji and others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed together: "Thank you, Sir!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand without saying a word, and then he led a group of personal guards to the sports field of the academy, where Qin Qiong was waiting at the moment. Li Zexuan greeted him and said with a smile:
"Uncle Qin, I will leave them all to you! Just practice, no matter life or death!"
In my heart, I was still grateful to the virtuous guards. After hearing Li Zexuan's words, their knees softened and they almost fell to their knees. What does it mean to practice regardless of life or death? You want their lives! But the person in front of them was Qin Qiong, the founding general of the country. Even if they had thousands of words in their hearts, they would not dare to say them out!
"Yeah! I know what's appropriate!"
Qin Qiong responded lightly, and then he looked at the small army of forty-nine personal guards. Although these people lacked a lot of ferocity and murderous aura, they could not help but feel overwhelmed by this situation. He thought of those great years.
"I haven't led troops for more than a year, right?"
Qin Qiong sighed silently in his heart, then he calmed down and said loudly to the soldiers in front of him:
"You are originally from Youwu Houwei, one of the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty. I don't need to repeat the rules in the army, right? In the next month, Yanhuang Academy will be a military camp. As instructors, you must set an example. Strictly obey military regulations! If anyone relaxes, don’t blame me for being ruthless in military regulations! Do you hear me clearly?”
The second half of Qin Qiong's words were so cold that all the guards felt a chill in their hearts and shouted in unison: "Listen clearly~!"
Li Zexuan next to him couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. This was why he insisted on letting Qin Qiong come over as his instructor. Because of Qin Qiong's prestige, no one in the army dared to stroke his beard, and no one among the young students dared to do so. At least not even Li Tai or Li Ke would dare to touch his brow, so he is simply a sea-fixing needle! With him here, there will definitely be few and many thorns in the entire military training process.
Li Zexuan smiled, and then he handed over the "stage" to Qin Qiong with great confidence, and turned to go to the "rostrum" to watch Pang Feiji and the others' military training.
"First of all, I'm going to teach you some new military commands. Everyone must remember the key points of each command! The first one is to stand at attention. Watch carefully. When the general shouts "stand at attention" later, everyone must move their heels together and stand together. Evenly, the toes are slightly apart, the legs are straight, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, the chest is naturally raised, the upper body is upright, leaning forward slightly..."
On the playground, Qin Qiong explained to everyone some basic movements during military training and demonstrated it himself. His title also changed from the old man just now to the current general, which all means that from now on, this place has become a military camp. .
In fact, the stance of soldiers at this time was basically very standard, very close to the stance of modern soldiers. However, no one in the Tang Dynasty had a professional name for the official standing posture, so Li Zexuan used "stand at attention", "take a rest", "straddle", "turn left to right" and "turn left to right". "Wait for some modern basic movement commands to be taught to Qin Qiong.
As for formation training, Li Zexuan didn't know much about it. He planned to let Qin Qiong freely perform according to the military formations of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the students could abide by discipline and keep order.
Having said that, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there were already military commands such as "stand at attention" and "take a rest". According to records, when Qi Jiguang was fighting against Japanese invaders in the south, in order to maintain vigilance, he sent soldiers to guard the coast at night and call the police in time if the enemy was discovered.
But what should we do if we can’t distinguish ourselves from the enemy at night? Qi Jiguang prescribed the password. The soldiers on guard all carry bamboo whistles. If they see a figure, they should immediately step forward with their guns in hand and shout: "Whistle up!" This means that the police whistle will sound. If the other party is one of your own, you should stop walking immediately, stand upright with your hands hanging down, and shout: "Stand at attention." This means that he will stand upright immediately. If you don't do this, you will be considered a Japanese pirate and the police whistle will sound.
In order to make the soldiers familiar with this set of passwords, Qi Jiguang kept asking the soldiers to practice these two movements during the troop drills. Later, after several evolutions, "whistle up" and "stand at attention" became the regular passwords for military formation exercises, which are still used in modern times, but there are some changes in the pronunciation and meaning of the passwords.
And now Li Zexuan has made these passwords appear more than 800 years in advance, which can be regarded as a contribution to the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Yeah, I weakly asked for a leave, but no one criticized me. They were all encouraging the knights. Hehe, thank you for your support. I specially wrote a chapter during the leave period! Updates will resume tomorrow!
