Chapter 227 Xuanyuan Shenwu Camp
Zhao Liu glared at Fu Jingtao and said, "You don't know about Shenwu Camp? Are you deaf or blind?"
Fu Jingtao smiled bitterly and said: "I study martial arts every day from dawn to dusk, and I really don't have the time to ask about those miscellaneous things. What's more, I'm surrounded by martial arts idiots. They talk about moves and techniques even when eating, and they won't talk to you at all.
Let’s talk about something else.”
Zhao Liu said sympathetically: "Then aren't you more boring than being in jail?"
Fu Jingtao said with a bitter face: "So, senior sister, you must come to visit me more often from now on, otherwise I will be bored to death."
Zhao Liu chuckled and briefly explained to him.
It turned out that after the ceremony, Zhao Guangyi represented the Song Dynasty and Jiang Lie represented the Xuanyuan Sect. The two families formally entered into a covenant and became an alliance. According to the agreement, the Xuanyuan Sect would send 300 disciples to join the Song Army before the end of July, and every subsequent
It is necessary to ensure that at least two hundred people are replenished with fresh blood every year. In view of the fact that warriors do not understand the art of war, military discipline, military flags and military orders, and do not know where to stay and camp, the "Xuanyuan Shenwu Camp" was specially set up in Lingyun City for training, which is referred to as "Shenwu Camp"
.
The commanders and instructors of the Shenwu Camp are all officers of the Forbidden Army. Their duty is to teach Xuanyuan disciples the knowledge, experience, skills, and laws about marching and fighting. When the army is marching and conquering, the authority of military law is particularly emphasized. Anyone who violates it
All will be severely punished, and in severe cases, they may even be beheaded on the spot. The Iron Army of the Song Dynasty emphasized that orders and prohibitions were enforced, and there was no need for stragglers. People in the Jianghu were free and loose by nature. If they were not restrained, they would delay the war.
Fu Jingtao exclaimed: "Every year, two hundred to three hundred people are recruited to join the Song Army, which is quite powerful! The inner disciples are only selected once every three years, and they can be promoted to sixty or seventy, to more than a hundred.
How can a human being withstand such rapid consumption?"
He does not know the exact number of inner disciples now, but no matter how optimistic he estimates, there should not be more than 2,000 people. After deducting the old, disabled, those who have not left the army, those who are left behind, and those who are unwilling to fight in battle, in the end
It would be great to be able to screen out 500 people. If the Song Dynasty wants to remove 300 people at once, won't Xuanyuan Sect be in trouble?
Zhao Liudao: "Are you stupid to be the leader? The real elites selected are more than fifty people, and then the seven major families will select one hundred disciples to join, and the remaining gaps will be filled by the unsuccessful registered disciples
, which can be considered as a list of three hundred people."
Fu Jingtao asked in confusion: "Are those disciples who failed to be selected also happy?"
Zhao Liu smiled and said: "Why are they not happy? Anyone who joins the Shenwu camp for training can be allowed to practice a superior martial arts, receive a number of spiritual pills, and get a handful of magic weapons from the Weapon Refining Pavilion. What's more, once they join the Forbidden Army
, at least they start from the deputy capital, and are upright generals of the Song Dynasty. If they strive for success and accumulate enough military exploits, it will not be difficult to be promoted to the commander of an army in the future."
For the registered disciples who have been eliminated and failed, this is their only opportunity to continue to improve their martial arts skills and even change their destiny. If you don't seize it, you will have to go back to your hometown and spend your life in obscurity. The so-called wealth is gained in danger, and it is easy to get ahead.
You need to fight with your life!
Warriors are meant to practice against the heavens. Who would be willing to succumb to fate? Without the spirit of refusing to admit defeat, you can go home, marry, have children, farm and open up wasteland, why bother practicing martial arts?
Whether traveling across the rivers and lakes or fighting on the battlefield, only the brave can make a name for themselves!
The disciples of the first phase of the Shenwu Camp were led by Bai Tieshi, the deputy director of Baibingtang, and assisted by Jiang Haoyuan and Hu Zhijun, the elder of the inner sect.
After nearly a month of hard work day and night, the three hundred Xuanyuan disciples have begun to take shape as an iron army, attracting the attention of Jiang Lie and other major families. They are the representatives of the Xuanyuan Sect, and their performance is related to the future rise and fall of the sect, and is related to
The prospects of cooperation between major aristocratic families and the Zhao and Song royal families. Jiang Lie must visit Shenwu Camp every two or three days to test the military progress of his disciples.
In order to cope with the need for future personnel replenishment, Jiang Lie has officially issued the Xuanyuan Order, changing the selection of inner disciples to November every year. All registered disciples and disciples of aristocratic families under the age of twenty can participate. There will no longer be any
Restrictions on promotion quotas. Except for a few disciples with particularly good qualifications who focus on martial arts practice, most of them who pass the selection are directly placed in the Shenwu Camp, where they also practice martial arts and art of war.
What can be expected is that as more and more disciples join the Song Army, whoever can control this part of the force on behalf of the Xuanyuan Sect will have more and more power.
In this division of power, figures such as Chu Xiang were excluded.
The aristocratic family must firmly control the military power and will not allow disciples from poor families to get involved.
A charming and pretty face flashed through Fu Jingtao's mind, and then asked: "Are the unsuccessful junior sisters allowed to join the Shenwu Camp? Is there a women's army in the Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Liu shook his head and said: "The Shenwu Camp does not recruit female disciples. However," her eyes gradually brightened, "you reminded me, why not set up a separate battalion to recruit female soldiers and generals? Who said women are inferior to men? Treat me like this.
When I return to the capital, I will go to my second brother to ask for the Tiger Talisman General Seal and set up a women’s camp. One day I will go into battle wearing armor and kill seven in and seven out of the enemy’s formation!”
Fu Jingtao was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sister, please don't say this was my idea."
Zhao Liu poked his chest with his finger and said: "Coward, are you afraid that my second brother will miss you? If we can really set up a women's camp, how about I let you serve as the deputy commander?"
Fu Jingtao resolutely refused: "I won't do it even if I kill you!"
Zhao Liu smiled and said: "You care so much about the senior sisters who were not selected, do you have some hidden secrets? Let me think about it, Zeng Ke is the only one who has a particularly outstanding appearance among the unsuccessful candidates. Do you secretly admire her?"
Fu Jingtao said with a straight face: "It's made out of nothing, it's pure imagination!"
Zhao Liu said with a half-smile but not a smile: "I heard the headmaster mention by chance that he plans to propose marriage to the Zeng family in the near future and let Jiang Haoyuan marry Junior Sister Zeng back to the Jiang family."
Zeng is getting married?! This news is too sudden.
Fu Jingtao murmured: "She wants to marry Jiang Haoyuan? She is only fifteen years old!"
Zhao Liudao: "A woman can get married and have children when she reaches fifteen. What's so strange about this?"
Fu Jingtao immediately recalled Ji Yuqing, and felt a pain in his heart. The customs in the world are such that even the daughter of the Sword Immortal, the Princess of Shushan, is not exempt from the customs, let alone Zeng Ke, who has no family background! Zeng Ke married into the Jiang family after being rejected from the inner sect.
It has been an excellent home.
Zhao Liu saw Fu Jingtao's expression was different and mistakenly thought that he had a crush on Zeng Ke, so he joked: "Are you heartbroken? Do you want Senior Sister to help me secretly ask Junior Sister Zeng to meet on a moonlit night?"
Fu Jingtao gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to push me into the fire pit?"
Zhao Liu laughed so hard that his flowers trembled: "Okay, there is no grass anywhere in the world! Follow the senior sister and have a good time, and then you can choose the rich ladies and noble ladies in Tokyo!"
Fu Jingtao thought of the past with Zeng Ke that seemed both affectionate and ruthless, and felt sad in his heart. Qin Ying and Zeng Ke were originally as close as sisters. One was promoted to the inner sect and continued to practice, while the other was eliminated and failed to marry early. Faced with the arrangement of fate,
