The military camp of the imperial capital was built 100 miles west of the Forbidden City. There were more than 50,000 royal guards stationed here.
This was Long Yunfeng's first time in the military camp, and he was very disappointed. All the soldiers 'armor was tattered, and only a few officers wore leather or fish-scale armor. The soldiers were sallow and emaciated, clearly malnourished.
Clothes and armor were in disarray because the imperial court no longer had any extra money and food to add armor to the soldiers.
Although there weren't any old or sick people in the army, this made Long Yunfeng somewhat happy.
What disappointed Long Yunfeng the most was that even if the Qin army, which had once shaken Donghu in the north, wasn't as mighty as when they were founded, Long Yunfeng didn't expect them to be as ferocious as tigers, but at least as hungry as wolves. The current Qin army might be comparable, but now, they looked worse than sheep.
Although the lack of money was the reason, it was not the reason.
Long Yunfeng might as well use the militia to fight on the battlefield with such an army.
Ding!" A quest has been issued. Great Qin's Royal Guards 'morale has fallen apart. Please use your words to awaken their dignity as soldiers. The quest rewards 200 points and one lucky draw.”
In a tent, Long Yunfeng, Zhu Yu, Yang Zheng, and a few others were discussing.
"General Zhu, Zhen is extremely dissatisfied.”Long Yunfeng said angrily.
Zhu Yu lowered his head. Although he was the Cheji General, he knew that this matter was not something he did not want to cure, but something he could not.
The amount of silver that the imperial court gave the army every year was getting lesser and lesser, and it was completely insufficient for training.
"How many days?" Long Yunfeng asked again.
The army of this era definitely didn't have the same level of training as Long Yunfeng's previous life, so he naturally had to ask carefully.
"Training once every eight days. I plan to train once every five days now. It will definitely be able to quickly increase the combat strength of the soldiers!”Zhu Yu said with a serious expression.
"Training once every five days? This won't do. I think we should train once a day!”Long Yunfeng frowned.
" Cough, cough." Yang Zheng choked on his breath when he heard that. After a while, Yang Zheng hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, you mustn't do this. The soldiers are already complaining about the training every five days. If they were to be trained once a day, the soldiers would definitely mutiny!”
"General Yang, what's the use of training once every five days? How long would it take to train them into elite soldiers? I reckon that such an army is not even as good as the county soldiers, let alone the violent Jin Kingdom cavalry. I might as well raise a group of dogs. It's better than raising a group of sheep.”Long Yunfeng advised.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't agree to a training a day, but the soldiers can't take it!”Zhu Yu said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, it's unrealistic to train him once a day!”Yang Zheng also advised.
"The reason why the soldiers can't accept a training a day is because they're not used to it. I have a way to make them receive a lesson every day! Gather all the officers above the centurion rank. If they don't agree, it doesn't matter. Just kick them out of the military camp. I don't need trash.”Long Yunfeng said with certainty.
"Gather the soldiers, I want to give a lecture! Announce this news!" Long Yunfeng immediately made up his mind, not giving them a chance to refute.
Seeing that His Majesty had already decided, Zhu Yu had no choice but to gather the officers.
Long Yunfeng, Zhu Yu, and the others stood on the high platform in the Drill Ground. Long Yunfeng said with a frosty expression,""Yang Zheng, how many rounds have you played?"
"Your Majesty, the Three-way Drum!" Yang Zheng said with a flushed face.
"Only a few dozen people from the Three Pass Drum came? Although today was not the time for training, the discipline was too poor!”Long Yunfeng's expression wasn't good, and his voice was cold.
"Commander Yang, continue to beat the drum. Don't stop until we get there!”Long Yunfeng said solemnly.
Yang Zheng was furious. This kind of officer also made him feel a wave of anger. He exerted strength with both hands. Suddenly, a deafening drumbeat sounded in the entire military camp.
"What's going on? Why did you beat the drum to summon us when we're not training today?”
"The drum has been beating for a while. Something big must have happened. Let's go and take a look!
"Don't sleep anymore. Get up quickly. It's time to beat the drums!”
"So what if we beat the drums? Aren't we not training today?"
"Hurry up and get up. They're all gathering at the drill ground!”
"F * ck, wait for me. Where's my armor?”
After an hour, nearly 600 military officers arrived on the drill ground one after another.
On the drill ground, the sound of drums could be heard. After an hour, almost all the soldiers had arrived.
"Your Majesty, everyone is here!" Yang Zheng looked at Long Yunfeng's unapproachable appearance and reminded him.
"General Zhu, you saw it too, right? They only finished gathering after an hour? If such an army was not reformed and trained, what was the use?”Long Yunfeng whispered.
If they did not reform this army, Long Yunfeng knew that Great Qin would soon be finished.
"We're the only ones here. What's the matter?”
"You're here and you're not talking? Just standing there? I'm so sleepy!"
"Shh, stop talking. Can't you see that His Majesty's expression is not good?”Below the stage, there was a commotion as the officers discussed animatedly.
However, on the platform, Long Yunfeng and Zhu Yuyang were standing straight and staring coldly at the audience.
Gradually, the officers felt that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to speak anymore.
After a long time, Long Yunfeng finally spoke,""Today, I came to the military camp to prepare to stay in the military camp for ten days. Today, I can share happiness and hardship with the soldiers! I want to fulfill my promise. I will eat whatever the soldiers eat. When the soldiers train, I will train with them!”
"But seeing you like this, zhen is very disappointed, because zhen feels that if we have to raise you like this, zhen might as well raise a group of dogs.”Long Yunfeng said coldly.
Hearing this, the officers below were instantly furious. As the saying goes, one should not hit someone in the face. Didn't His Majesty's words mean that they were worse than dogs?
Without waiting for them to refute, Long Yunfeng continued,""Did I say something wrong? I want to ask you a question? What was a soldier? Maybe you don't know, but I'll tell you what a soldier is.”
"Since ancient times, everyone should understand that every country has its laws and every family has its rules. In this way, everyone knows what they should do, what they can do, what they can't do, and what they have done. The army is the foundation of a country and an empire. Without soldiers, the country will be invaded by foreign enemies and spied on by those who have ulterior motives.
This country would be in a storm and could collapse at any time.
"It's precisely because of this that there are people like our ancestors who have become the pillars of the Great Qin Empire. They are hot-blooded soldiers of the Great Qin Empire. In order to protect our country and allow the people of the Great Qin Empire to live in peace, they have used their sweat, blood, and lives to protect everything…" Long Yunfeng's voice was not loud.
