Zhu Biao's face turned dark. I am the prince, how dare you call me a boy and say that I should exercise?
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhu Biao seriously and nodded.
That's right, it was you who was calling.
Do you know that if you are weak and lack exercise, a cold will kill you?
If you want to be a wise king after Emperor Hongwu, you need a healthy and strong body! Not to mention like Lao Zhu, who had to eat eight nests in one meal, he should be able to run at least ten miles.
Mu Ying coughed and said to Gu Zhengchen, "He doesn't need it, right?"
"need."
Gu Zhengchen was a little surprised. Before he could say anything, there was a sound. Looking sideways, I saw the middle-aged man I saw by the Dazhong Bridge that day walking over with a smile on his face, his hands on his waist: "Let's see, he needs some exercise."
When Zhu Biao and Mu Ying saw their father coming, they had to salute.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his left hand to show his displeasure, looked at Gu Zhengchen, and said with a grin: "Gu boy, we meet again."
Gu Zhengchen was a little nervous and didn't run away. Judging from the attitudes of Zhu Biao and Mu Ying, he knew that this person was definitely the Hongwu Emperor. Seeing him wearing the casual clothes of a scholar, he raised his hand and said, "Young man, I have met Mr."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at Zhu Biao: "You don't want to exercise, just do it here, and let's take a look."
"This - it's not appropriate..."
Muying wanted to stop it.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, picked up the military book, and looked at Zhu Biao: "Do you think it is appropriate or inappropriate?"
Zhu Biao disagreed: "There is nothing inappropriate about exercising and strengthening your body."
Mu Ying lowered her head, feeling helpless: Prince, you haven't seen how he exercises. This is really inappropriate...
"What are you waiting for? If you don't want to exercise together, let's get started."
Zhu Yuanzhang urged.
Gu Zhengchen looked at Zhu Biao and tried his best to make his smile natural: "Brother Dalang, your body is leather - the capital of doing things. It doesn't matter if you read less books. You can make your body stronger. Otherwise, if you fall ill, you will be in trouble." many."
Zhu Biao looked at Gu Zhengchen's figure: "I don't want to be lectured by a weak person like you..."
Gu Zhengchen laughed loudly, releasing his tension, and then guided Zhu Biao to warm up. Zhu Biao reluctantly followed Gu Zhengchen's movements.
"Breast enlargement exercise."
"I said, Da Lang, can you please relax a little? You are not a woman and you don't have breast muscles. It doesn't matter if you keep your breasts in your mouth all the time..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was drinking tea and sprayed it out. This guy spoke so unscrupulously.
Muying wants to escape...
Zhu Biao wanted to kick this hateful guy away.
"Mobile the knee joint, clockwise. What is clockwise, it means from left to right, not left and right, nor front and back..."
"ankle joint……"
Zhu Biao's face was a little red, and he always felt that it was embarrassing to do this: "Is that okay?"
Gu Zhengchen nodded: "Now, let's start the formal training..."
"What?"
What Zhu Biao thought was the end was actually the beginning.
Gu Zhengchen lay on the ground, supporting himself with his arms, and looked sideways at Zhu Biao: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Just follow it. That's it, one, two..."
Zhu Biao looked at the inelegant Gu Zhengchen and didn't know what was going through his mind. His face became even hotter and he turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes full of pleading for help.
Zhu Yuanzhang held the tea bowl, snorted, and said with some dissatisfaction: "There is a beginning and an end."
Zhu Biao pointed at Gu Zhengchen who was doing push-ups: "This, this is too, too underhanded."
Gu Zhengchen lay directly on the ground, sat up quickly and said, "Da Lang dare not say that. This exercise is called push-ups, which can exercise the muscles of the upper limbs, waist and abdomen."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "The boy we are looking after is right, let's exercise."
Zhu Biao had a grimace on his face and reluctantly lay on the ground, using his arms to support him, but he didn't even support him, so he lay down again.
Zhu Yuanzhang just watched quietly. Although this action was inelegant, it was not necessarily useless.
Biao'er, I'm not talking about you. You've been married for two years, and we don't have a child. We need to work harder.
Gu Zhengchen taught Zhu Biao the key points of push-ups, and he did not forget to remind him: "Students are best suited to do this exercise. You can do it in the study room..."
"Shut up!"
Zhu Biao said with beads of sweat on his head and gritted his teeth.
Gu Zhengchen laughed, then waved to Wu Rong and Zhang Pei.
Zhang Pei looked at Gu Zhengchen lying on the mat and stretched out his hand to hold Gu Zhengchen's ankle. Wu Rong looked at Zhu Biao with a guilty look on his face. Seeing that Zhu Biao was lying down, he gently held down his ankle.
"This is called sit-ups. It exercises abdominal strength. Hold your hands behind your head and exert strength on your waist..."
"Um……"
Zhu Biao's legs started to shake and he couldn't get up...
Zhu Yuanzhang originally had a playful attitude, but seeing Zhu Biao struggling so hard, he couldn't help but get up and take a closer look. Seeing Gu Zhengchen completing ten stand-ups, he looked at Wu Rong: "Come and try."
Wu Rong immediately lay down and held his head. Zhang Pei was already holding it down. Wu Rong took a deep breath and began to sit up, doing thirty sit-ups in one go.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wu Rong with a solemn expression: "How?"
Wu Rong said seriously: "This method really strengthens the waist."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, pointed to the training ground, and said to Gu Zhengchen: "Take a complete tour and let's see how you train."
Gu Zhengchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and started running towards the training ground.
Zhu Biao stood next to Zhu Yuanzhang and shouted with some embarrassment: "Father."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gu Zhengchen, who was carrying the rope and dragging away the wooden sticks, and saw him carefully crossing the wooden bridge, getting into the mud under the fishing net, struggling to climb over the wooden wall, and swinging twice on the uneven bars. Down……
"Biao'er, this is a body-building technique."
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was a master in the art of war. He single-handedly raised the army, so he naturally knew how to train the army. He also knew that the combat effectiveness of the army was determined by the combat effectiveness of all the sergeants!
A strong army requires training day after day, and it needs to be trained properly!
Zhu Yuanzhang became serious and said solemnly: "At the beginning of the year, I decreed that the officers and men in each guard station must practice martial arts on time. The cavalry must be good at riding horses, shooting bows and spears, and the infantry must be good at bows and spears. We have set rules for rewards and punishments. . But now it seems that it is not enough to just focus on sergeants' swords, guns, bows, and crossbows. Most of the warriors trained in the army are lifting stones, and there are injuries every year. If this set of body-building techniques can be introduced to strengthen the body, It may not be possible to strengthen the army!”
Zhu Biao was somewhat doubtful about the effectiveness of this body-building technique: "My father wants to introduce this set of body-building techniques into the army. Isn't that inappropriate? You look at Gu Zhengchen as weak as a chicken..."
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised. Could it be that this physical training technique could train people to be like Gu Zhengchen?
Seeing this, Mu Ying stepped forward and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, this body-building technique was created by Gu Zhengchen. I have observed it and it is of great benefit to strengthening the body. It's just..."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Just what?"
Mu Ying pointed at the fishing net pillar and the soil under it: "I'm just stupid and can't figure it out. Why set up such a thing? Is it impossible for our soldiers to crawl forward?"
"Just ask him."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Gu Zhengchen approaching, he was sweating profusely and asked Mu Ying's doubts.
Gu Zhengchen took a look and felt depressed. This kind of design in later generations was to avoid fire strikes. In the era of cold weapons, crawling forward like this is not just for people to step on and shoot at...
"Oh, this - it's a firecracker to defend Bei Yuan. I heard that there are still some firecrackers in the Yuan Ting army."
Gu Zhengchen explained.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, yes, this was thoughtful.
It’s just that which year did you hear the news? The Yuan Ting army went to the desert to eat sand. They used what they used to make firecrackers and gunpowder. Their firecrackers have now become iron rod soldiers.
"Did you figure out this body-building technique?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Gu Zhengchen, his eyes sharp and pointed directly at people's hearts.
Gu Zhengchen did not dare to look directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, and looked sideways at the things in the training ground: "I think that since we want to strengthen our body, we should strengthen every muscle in our body, so we designed it for the legs, abdomen, chest, and arms. Learn how to train..."
There is no way, if you don’t admit that you did it, no one can take the blame for you.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied, pointed to the two long sandbags next to the weapon rack and asked, "What are those?"
Gu Zhengchen took one and tied it to his leg: "Wearing a sandbag for running exercise will enhance your strength. Once you take it off, you will march even faster."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the other one and touched it: "Is this filled with sand?"
"That's right."
Gu Zhengchen replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sandbags and the things in the training ground, and then looked at Mu Ying: "Select two hundred sergeants from the small training ground and transfer them to this type of physical training. After a month, observe the changes. If it is effective, push it to Military camp guardhouse.”
"yes."
Mu Ying solemnly agreed.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gu Zhengchen, smiled and asked, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, do you have any plans?"
Gu Zhengchen shook his head: "There is no Mid-Autumn Festival when you are out here."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mu Ying: "We see that you are destined to Mu Ying and Dalang. You are quite knowledgeable about firearms, military training, and country governance. You might as well move around more."
Mu Ying said wisely: "You might as well stay at home temporarily before leaving Beijing, and save the need to go back and forth with invitations."
Zhu Biao saw that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, also valued Gu Zhengchen and even allowed him, a civil servant, to travel more and have more contact with the generals of the Governor's Palace. He also invited him: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you might as well come to my palace as a guest to enjoy the moon and discuss the ways of governing the country. "
"We think it will work, that's it."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not tolerate Zhu Yunwen's objection and turned around and walked into the corridor.
Zhu Biao and Mu Ying bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, while Gu Zhengchen saluted beside him.
It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer be seen that the three of them accepted the gifts and stood up. Zhu Biao said he had something to do and left first. Mu Ying said he had military matters to deal with and ran away...
Gu Zhengchen looked at Wu Rong, who shivered: "I have a stomachache, Zhang Pei, please stay."
Zhang Pei: "I..."
Gu Zhengchen chuckled and picked up the sword again: "Zhang Huwei, come and teach me how to use the sword."
Zhang Pei is very bitter, can you change your wooden sword? I'm afraid of your swordsmanship. I don't even know whether your next step is to stab or cut. Also, with your pace, can you be careful and can you hold the sword steadily? , what you are practicing is not flying sword...
