After Yue Fei and other Wu Jinshi received the decree, they looked through the "New Book of Records" and "Records of Military Training" written by Zhao Guanjia...

Although Niu Gao didn't know how to read, Zhao Guan's family sent a clerk to read the contents to him in a low voice.

Yue Fei, Wu Jie and other thirty-nine Wu Jinshi were shocked after reading or listening to the first few pages of the "New Book of Ji Xiao" written by Zhao Guan!

Even the Confucian general Zongze who accompanied Zhao Guan's family and the general Li Gang were shocked after reading a few pages of the new performance book.

They never expected that Zhao Guan, the emperor of peace who had lived in the palace for a long time, could actually write a military masterpiece that summarized the experience of training and running the army, just like a general who had experienced the battlefield for a long time!

At this time, Yue Fei, Wu Jie and other Wu Jinshi looked at Zhao Guan's house with even more admiration.

Moreover, the new Ji Xiao book written by Zhao Guanjia was written in the folk vernacular of the Song Dynasty, not a formal written text. This allowed Niu Gao, an uneducated outfield martial arts scholar, to listen to the official's reading and understand "

The content described in "Ji Xiao's New Book".

Zhao Ji looked around at the thirty-nine Wu Jinshi gathered around the long conference table:

Niu Gao pricked up his ears and listened with fascination as the clerk around him read to him the first few pages of the "New Book of Ji Xiao"...

Yue Fei and other thirty-eight martial arts scholars all stared at Ji Xiao's new book with their eyes wide open, fascinated...

Zhao Ji nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself:

It seems that the efforts I made in my spare time were not in vain!

I gave it to the future famous generals Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others to watch. It will definitely inspire them in the formation of their military theories and help them select and train troops as generals in the future.

It will be of great help in rewarding and punishing subordinates, fighting enemies, etc.

Previously, Zhao Ji used the memory of a time traveler to translate the general contents of the "New Book of Records" and "Records of Military Training" by Qi Jiguang, the famous anti-Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty, which he had read many times, into the vernacular of the Song Dynasty, and also translated those two books into the vernacular of the Song Dynasty.

The parts in the book that would make people in the Song Dynasty suspicious, such as the Ming Dynasty title, were all deleted and finally translated into a book.

Then, he ordered Yushufang to use the clay movable type printing technology invented by Bi Sheng to print the two famous military books of later generations.

(Bi Sheng died a century ago, and the movable type printing technology he invented became more popular among the people in the Song Dynasty.)

When Zhao Ji saw Zongze, Li Gang, Yue Fei and others looking at the military book seriously, he said loudly:

"These two books on war are so thick that none of my dear friends can finish them today. I will give you all the books on war that are given to you."

Zongze, Li Gang, Yue Fei and others immediately thanked him and said: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. When I return, I will definitely study these two masterpieces of military masters carefully."

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and asked the Wu Jinshi:

"Before this, I asked you to practice the use of firearms on your own for half a day at the test range outside the firearms manufacturing workshop. I saw how regretful you were at that time.

Now, I have asked you to use the other half of the day to study these two art of war, combined with the map of the Four Kingdoms that I made, and use the military sand table to deduce the battle situation of "aiding the Liao and resisting the Jin". You will see that this is better than what you have been trying all day.

Can shooting range practice be better?"

Yue Fei, Wu Jie and other Wu Jinshi all knelt down and worshiped:

"Wei Chen knows his mistake!"

"After Wei Chen followed Guan Jia to the General Academy, he realized that Guan Jia had worked so hard! Wei Chen is so grateful!"

"Wei Chen just watched the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training", and he was immediately enlightened!"

"At that time, Wei Chen was only thinking about the huge destructive power of the artillery. Why did he only let me practice firing the artillery for half a day? It turns out that the officials wanted me to learn more advanced tactics of war!"

"The humble minister knows his mistake, but the official is sage! The official can also let the ministers combine these two military strategist's books to deduce the battle of 'aiding the Liao Dynasty to fight against the Jin'. The plan is far-reaching, and no ministers can match it! The official is sage!

"

"The humble minister knows his fault, but the official is wise!"

"…………"

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and said: "Everyone loves you Pingsheng. I would like to ask you, after reading a few pages of this military book, what have you gained and what do you think?"

Yue Fei said: "Wei Chen has also read military books since he was a child. The ancient military books all focus on strategy and other major aspects. However, Wei Chen has only read the "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training", a total of less than 20 times.

I haven't even read a tenth of the page, and then I feel enlightened!"

Zhao Ji knew slightly that he trusted and loved Yue Fei very much.

I am afraid that anyone in this world can tell lies to make me happy. However, only the loyal and upright minister Yue Fei will not tell lies to deceive me.

Zhao Ji said happily: "Pengju, tell me in detail!"

"I obey the decree." Yue Fei held the "New Book of Ji Xiao" in his hand and said:

"Wei Chen looked at the opening of the "New Book of Ji Xiao" written by Guan Jia and said: 'To be a general, you must pay attention to the selection of troops.

The first sentence at the beginning is 'The choice of soldiers is precious.'

Wei Chen admires this argument!"

Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zaixing, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and other martial figures who were watching all nodded and agreed with Yue Fei's point of view.

Yue Fei was in a high mood and said excitedly: "The officials discussed in this military masterpiece:

'The only way to choose your troops is to be precise!'

Wei Chen couldn’t agree more!

In this military manual, the officials also asked generals not to use people who are slippery in the city, let alone cunning people.

Officials advocated using "honest men from the countryside" as generals.

I also agree with the specific criteria for selecting soldiers set by the officials!

When selecting soldiers, you should give priority to people who are 'fengwei', 'martial arts', 'strength' and 'smart'.

However, officials also wrote in some military books: "fengwei", "martial arts", "strength", and "smartness" can neither be discarded nor relied on exclusively. All because, those who can have these four good conditions

, there are really too few, it is not easy to choose such people.

"But if you have the courage to do it, you will be strong, strong and smart, and you will learn martial arts. This is the icing on the cake."

In contrast, when selecting soldiers, the most important condition is that they must be both mentally and physically capable;

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this military manual, the official said: Poor martial arts can be practiced.

The same is true for Wei Chen!

The commander who leads the army as a general should select soldiers and give them weapons according to their different characteristics. The ministers also agree. As the official said in the "New Book of Jixiao":

‘Everyone should be taught differently depending on their ability’.

"For example, the shield card is suitable for young and strong people, the long wolf shield is suitable for strong and majestic people, and the long spear and short soldiers are suitable for people who are smart and murderous.'

The above is what Chen Fei felt after reading the "Selection of Soldiers" chapter of the "New Book of Ji Xiao" compiled by Guan Jia!

If an official can write such a practical military book, I will look up to him and admire him!"

Zhao Ji smiled slightly and did not explain anything more to Yue Fei. Do we still need to tell these Wu Jinshi that the two military books I compiled are based on Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general and outstanding strategist more than three hundred years ago.

Of?

Even if I said it, everyone sitting here would not believe it. Instead, they would think that I am insane.

Although transferring (plagiarism) is somewhat unethical, didn't I want the Song Dynasty to no longer be humiliated by the Jin army like in history?

Zhao Ji asked Wu Jie, who was second on the list of Xiang Wu:

"I asked Wu Aiqing when he was reading the book, did he turn over the soldier selection chapter and read the military training chapter directly?"

Wu Jie looked nervous and immediately replied:

"The "New Book of Ji Xiao" written by Guan Jia was very refreshing to Wei Chen.

Before Weichen came to the capital to participate in this year's martial arts examination Enke, he served as a junior colonel in the Northwest Army. Therefore, Weichen looked forward to reading the "Military Training Chapter" in the "New Book of Jixiao" written by the officials.

Therefore, Wei Chen temporarily skipped "Selection of Soldiers" and read "Selection of Soldiers" by candlelight at night.

Wei Chen first went to read the "Military Training Chapter" in the "New Book of Ji Xiao" written by the official family, and hoped that the official family would forgive my sin!"

"Hahaha..." Zhao Ji laughed heartily and said, "Wu Aiqing, what is your crime? When I gave you Aiqing the two military books, I already mentioned them in advance. Can you just read them?"

After Wu Jie heard what Zhao Guanjia said, his tense nerves immediately relaxed a lot.

Zhao Ji asked: "Wu Aiqing, what do you think after reading "Military Training"?"

Wu Jie carefully played back:

"Before Weichen passed the martial arts examination, he had to lead more than a hundred officers and soldiers under his command to practice martial arts formations in the northwest military primary and secondary schools.

However, Wei Chen has read the "Military Training Chapter" of the "New Book of Ji Xiao" written by Guan Jia, and it has really benefited Wei Chen a lot."

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded. He knew that what Wu Jie said was not all flattery. At least, he plagiarized the "New Book of Jixiao" which was summarized by the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang in actual combat more than three hundred years later!

When Wu Jie saw Zhao Guanjia's smiling face, he continued to play back:

"The "New Book of Jixiao" written by Guan Jia emphasizes on difficult and strict training according to actual combat requirements, and opposes the fancy training method that is only for good looks. Wei Chen couldn't agree more!

As the official said in the "Military Training Chapter" of "Ji Xiao Xinshu", the command and command skills that soldiers learn in daily life should be the same as facing the enemy in battle.

'Martial arts are not for dealing with the official affairs of the court, but for soldiers to defend themselves, perform meritorious service, kill thieves and save lives! If a soldier is highly skilled in martial arts and kills the enemy thieves decisively, how can the enemy thieves kill you? If you are not as good as him in martial arts, it's okay.

I will kill you. If you don't learn martial arts, you are a fool who doesn't want your life.'

What the officials said in this ancient and modern military book is exactly what is said in the hearts of a small school like Wei Chen who has led soldiers to the battlefield!"
