Chang'an romantic

Chapter 45 Hundred Horses and Military Soul

After Qin Mubai and Changsun's "handshake and make peace", there was another strange thing in the Baiqi Camp - Yuchi Baoyun, who was beaten to almost crippled by Qin Mubai a few days ago, covered his buttocks that was still bleeding without scars, moved to Qin Mubai's public, and pushed Jinshan and jade | Zhu in public to apologize for his mistake.

It's a little bit like benevful in those years.

Qin Mubai, of course, is also a donkey down the slope, giving enough face to Yu Chi Baoyun. In turn, he lost a no to him. The eldest brother stroked his shoulder and drank happily.

Three deputy envoys Cheng Huaibi, Changsun Fu and Yu Chi Baoyun, plus Qin Mubai and Li Junxian and some other civilian generals, held a banquet for the new Changsun Fu and other officers.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is definitely a scene of not fighting, not knowing each other, and the hero cherishing the hero. Only Qin Mubai and a few others knew in their hearts that everyone was just under the pressure of the emperor and had to pretend to live in harmony and work together. So far, everyone has understood a truth: no matter how big the contradictions between colleagues are, they are not as big as the emperor; the bottom line of everyone's infighting and competition is that they can't violate the purpose of Baiqi to serve and protect the emperor, and they can't make the emperor unhappy. Otherwise, no one can eat and walk around.

The current situation is very much like what Li Shimin said to Qin Mubai at the beginning: when Li Jing led the team, no matter what kind of personal grievances the people under him fought, the overall atmosphere of the team was still united.

Now Qin Mubai finally understands. Li Jing's ability is extraordinary, but the unity of a team is necessary. If anyone is not united and divided, it is that he can't get along with the emperor and the purpose of the army. Such a person must be unlucky to touch the bottom line of an army because of personal resentment and infighting.

Changsun Wuji has been with the emperor for many years. Although he has never personally taken charge of the army, he deeply understands the truth. Therefore, he had to take his son to Li Shimin to plead guilty in person, and condescending to apologize to Qin Mubai. It's because he understands that no matter who you are, don't be naughty in the army. The emperor is the highest officer of all the armies of the Tang Dynasty, and all the armies take him as the leader and serve him faithfully. Whoever dares to engage in infighting in the army, divide and destroy the atmosphere of the army, the end must be miserable. Such a bottom line, even Li Jing, dares not touch the first handsome man of the Tang Dynasty. What is his son Changsun Xun?

So from this moment, the atmosphere in Baiqi has changed. When Changsun Feng and others first came, they didn't like Qin Mubai. What they wanted to do most was to do something right with him. It was best to pull him down and replace him. Now, they have to be honest. Because now, the emperor is clearly supporting Qin Mubai, a hundred horsemen. It is not difficult to imagine that Changsun Wuji must have taught Changsun Huan many times, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, must have done the work of Wei Chi Baoyun. How dare they be naughty again? Even if he hates Qin Mubai to the bone and a hundred people are unconvinced, he has to be obedient now.

If it were in the court, such a thing may not happen. As long as everyone has different political opinions, they will inevitably blush and refuse to give in to each other. It is normal to fight openly and secretly.

But the army is different from the court. The vocation of a soldier is to obey, and the official level crushes people to death. Nerchievous, die.

Changsun Fu and others, who have been in the army for a few days, have seen the benefits of the army. Compared with Qin Mubai, who entered the army a few days earlier, he realized a lot later. Because Qin Mubai was born as a general and had been a soldier before. When he was at home, Qin Shubao told him a lot about the army.

In contrast, Qin Mubai is much more enlightened than the eldest grandson and others. Otherwise, he didn't dare to assert at the beginning that he could eat Changsun and others to death.

Private grievances have been temporarily resolved. Next, it was time for Qin Mubai to train a hundred riders boldly.

More than 600 people, all of whom are carefully selected elites. The Tang Dynasty is a country of martial arts. Old and young women and children still pull bows and ride horses. Children in official families have better conditions to practice martial arts since childhood. Therefore, although there are many dboys among these people, those who can enter Baiqi through strict selection and competition are all good at work.

The basic quality of this army is indeed very good.

Qin Mubai, Li Junxian and three other deputy envoys discussed for many days in a row, and finally decided on the basic skills of "Eighty Horses" This includes the traditional archery, riding, swords, strength and other projects of the Tang army, as well as many other skills brought by Qin Mubai from the 21st century. For example: free combat one move to defeat the enemy, survival in the wild, first aid self-help, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, courage and endurance, speed and response, etc. Of course, the "political education" repeatedly urged by the emperor is also the top priority of the work. There is cultural class time every day. In addition to learning the law and military order, it is to carry out the education of "patriotism and loyalty".

After two months, after many debugging and exploration and improvement, all the work of Baiqi is completely on the right track. Now, more than 600 people are like a precision and complete machine, running in an orderly manner. The whole camp is in order, full of ** and vitality, but also serious and solemn.

Invisibly, the cohesion of the whole team is constantly strengthening; the personal quality of each soldier is growing crazily.

The soldiers of Baiqi did not feel that Li Shimin, who had been patiently watching, was in his eyes and happy in his heart. After listening to Li Junxian's report more than once, he praised Qin Mubai, a young military general. He said that this boy has motivation, insight, command ability and personal charm as a general, as well as imagination and creativity. He is quite looking forward to the official debut of Baiqi.

At this time, the two-month regular training was over. Qin Mubai asked the emperor for a month of "field training". He dragged the army to Qinchuan, even 800 miles away from Zhongnan Mountain, for field training.

Li Shimin agreed very quickly.

Six hundred riders, with more than a thousand servants and servants, opened the Xuanwu Gate and went out of Chang'an.

This is a real extreme training and survival test in the field. Here, Qin Mubai will personally lead these people to train field survival, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance and other practical projects.

This kind of training is not as simple as training in the camp. In the camp, at most, he was injured in the free fight, and the blue face was swollen and bleeding a little more serious. But this kind of field training may really kill people. Among other things, in reconnaissance and lurking, you may encounter poisonous insects and beasts. You may accidentally fall off the cliff, or you may not be good at learning and not actually have the ability to distinguish the direction in the wild, and starve to death in the deep mountains and forests.

The training is carried out in groups, with different tasks assigned, and everyone also plays different roles. In the midst of tension, excitement, excitement and blood, a month of training was successfully completed.

This training has made everyone achieve a transformation. After all, everyone has grown up in a good family environment, and there are many people who are well-goverished. Who has really been hungry? This time, there are many people who are hungry enough to eat leaves and snails, and they are so thirsty that drinking urine is almost everyone must experience. In addition, many people have suffered minor or serious injuries.

Naturally, there are many people who question what such a barbaric training has to do with being a royal guard for the emperor? Qin Mubai's explanation is: This is a test of will. As the most outstanding soldier of the Tang Dynasty, if you can't take care of yourself under special circumstances, how can you protect the emperor? If the emperor is in danger, whether he goes to heaven or to the earth, Baiqi must have the ability to save him from danger. Being a guard is harder than being a killer. As a killer, as long as you fail a hundred times and succeed once, that's enough; as a guard, as long as you fail a hundred times, as long as you fail once, it's over.

Therefore, every general in the hundred riders is more powerful than the most powerful killer in the world.

Qin Mubai also said that the three months of training are just the beginning, and it is more bitter, in the back. If you can't stand it, quit by yourself.

The three-month training is over.

For the first time, the emperor came to the Baiqi Camp in person to supervise the assessment of 18 skills and political military orders.

The hundred horses in front of him made Li Shimin, the horse emperor who joined the army at the age of 16 and led troops to fight for more than ten years, was quite amazing and praised - "This is the toughest and most restrained, ** but the most stable army I have ever seen! Almost every general can become a tiger on the battlefield and a master in the world.

"I have never heard of and seen such an army. I want to give the title of honor to every hundred knights!"

Honor, there is no salary, and there is no match between food and land. It is just a symbolic title of honor. It is a unique reward in the army to reward people with military merit, just like the modern 'Battle Hero' Medal. For example, Qin Shubao is the highest honor officer - Shangzhu Kingdom.

Baiqi has also become the first collective army in history to be knighted, and it has never been on a battlefield.

The results of Baiqi's "graduation assessment" are quite cruel. Half of the people were eliminated. Among them, most of them are ordinary soldiers, and there are also low-level officers such as fire commanders and team officers.

Three months of getting along with each other day and night, sharing honor and disgrace, coupled with the common training in the field, and even the sharing of life and death, all the soldiers in the hundred riders have formed a brotherly relationship.

When the assessment results were announced, the soldiers ignored the presence of the emperor. Many people shouted and were so excited that they couldn't stand it, and some people were so disappointed that they cried like a child. Many people cry with a headache, or are excited and happy, or don't want to leave the army.

In Qin Mubai's heart, he did not have deep feelings for all these soldiers. He also wanted to cheer loudly like other soldiers, or say goodbye to some people. But he just stood on the stage calmly and looked at all this in front of him almost coldly. Because he knows that he now symbolizes the military order of a hundred riders, a ruler to measure all soldiers, but also the military soul of a hundred riders.

Usually, Qin Mubai always gets along with the soldiers. But in this special moment, as a commander, a superior and a spiritual totem, he is destined to endure this cold taste alone. Even if you are scolded as ruthless by others, criticized and hated.
