Chapter 1405: Life in the Army
The army of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the most incompatible with the Song Dynasty itself. In the army and in other places, there are two worlds. This special melting pot has been transformed by Zhao Zhen and tends to be more institutionalized.
Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun had to go to bed early and early in the evening. At the beginning, they didn't care, and Zhao Zhen didn't remind him, but the next morning, at the beginning of the Mao period, the sound of the military horn spread throughout the military camp. This was a loud sound of the horn, sharp and thick, spreading far. No matter how dead you sleep, you can be awakened by its sound.
After getting up, the two followed Zhao Zhen and many soldiers to run for ten miles. Although they did not have the habit of staying in bed, they had to get up early every day because of their studies, but they never needed to run! In a drowsy manner, this was simply torture!
The two began to envy Ling'er, the princess who was a daughter, and began to regret playing too late last night. If she had gone to bed early, she would not have been so energetic. Especially when she saw Ling'er's outfit quickly caught up, she was even more blushing.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said nothing. Ling'er had already caught up on the side. He was completely in a good manner when he exhaled and breathed. His steps and rhythm were well mastered, which even made Zhao Zhen begin to wonder whether she had been in the army.
Of course, Ling'er had never been in the army, but she must have a much better understanding of the affairs in the army than Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun. Su Shi had been in the army for so long that he had already clearly written the probabilities and rules in the army in his letters.
So after Ling'er left Shendu City, she began her military career as written in Su Shi's letter...
In contrast, Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun were so tired that Zhao Zhen was quite depressed. His daughter was completely inferior to men. Not to mention comparing the two princes, even the soldiers in the army admired her heroic martial arts!
This is true for Ling'er. Although she is a daughter, if she decides something, no one can change her ideas at will. If she doesn't do it, she will do the best she wants to do it!
After five kilometers of morning exercise, Zhao Zhen couldn't stand it, but Ling'er still jumped and recovered. Even Zhao Zhen was a little envious. After looking at his two sons, he stood up and kicked them helplessly: "Get up quickly, Yu Ling'er is like moving, and he is most afraid of sudden sprints when running long distances!"
The two of them had no choice but to get up and jumped around Ling'er's proud eyes. Although their legs were already sore and swollen, they still insisted. In fact, these two kids were good, but they suddenly changed from another state and were quite uncomfortable.
After rest, it was breakfast time. When the army was training for ten kilometers, the fire-headed army in the army had already started to make rice. It was crucial for Zhao Zhen to supplement the soldiers in the army. The current military and ordnance of the Song Dynasty created this state.
If the soldiers in the army do not have a good body, they will never be able to control the heavy armor and weapons. Only a strong body can afford such weight.
Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, although the food in the army cannot be said to be the best, it is the most reasonable and nutritious. There is no shortage of meat, and the fruits and vegetables are also quite complete. Zhao Zhen also took the children to the Central Army for dinner. The emperor sometimes was arrogant, and sometimes he should be with the soldiers, feel the military camp, and integrate into the military camp!
Although he showed up in the army for dinner, the soldiers around him were excited, but the order was not distracted. The more he was like this, the order should be in good order in front of the official family.
Of course, although Zhao Zhen could take the children to the army for dinner, he would never squat with the soldiers... but just go through the motions. At the same time, Wang He was already waiting in the army. The food was prepared. Although he did not eat and drink with the soldiers, the food was the same.
A large wooden plate was hollowed out many places, forming squares of different sizes. Some were filled with rice and some were filled with vegetables. You could tell if you smelled the taste. Large pot rice has one advantage, and the taste was fragrant.
The three children were used to eating the delicious foods in the palace, but they had no resistance in front of the food in the army. They imitated Zhao Zhen to stew pork with vermicelli and covered the rice. The taste of the thick oily red sauce and the aroma of lard made the rice more delicious.
This is the last meal of rice and pork. From tomorrow, you can only eat beef and mutton, and the staple food will also be mainly noodles.
There are much fewer pigs in the Western Regions than cattle and sheep, so this place is not suitable for raising pigs. Moreover, pigs do not have much growth space in the Western Regions, and even Hami is not very suitable for raising pigs.
After drinking and eating, I felt that I was feeling comfortable. The result of practicing in the morning was that I had a bowl of rice many times, which also drove away my deep sleepiness.
It’s good to be young!
Zhao Xu and Zhao Yun had already wiped out their original sleepiness and looked around in the middle of the army. To them, the military camp was not unfamiliar, but the military camp that went on the expedition was much unfamiliar. Neither of the two children had experienced the war, and at most they were just listening to some rumors.
Zhao Xu appeared in the army to express condolences to the soldiers in the army instead of Zhao Zhen, while Zhao Yun was more likely to be with the quarantine officers and studied the equipment in the army. He knew his identity, what to do, and what he dared not do.
While Zhao Zhen was satisfied with this, he also felt that he owed this child. To be honest, Zhao Yun looked more like himself, while Zhao Xu looked more like Wang Yuyan.
Ling'er is training in the army. Who would have thought that a daughter's family had such a big hobby for things like horizontal swords, crossbows, etc.? When Zhao Zhen saw her hit the crossbows, she felt indescribable... embarrassment.
None of the two sons has excellent skills in the army, but the daughter has the talent for leading the army to fight.
A straight horizontal sword flew in Ling'er's hand. Her horizontal sword was narrower than the horizontal sword used by the soldiers in the army, in order to reduce the weight of the horizontal sword for her to wield, but the sharp cold light was not weaker than that of the soldiers in the army.
The sword-catching hands in the army cheered loudly on the side. Ling'er's horizontal sword made them beautiful and quite lethal. However, Zhao Zhen knew that the sword-catching hands were so cheering because of Ling'er's identity and the heroic posture of a woman dancing with swords and guns. However, compared to the battle of fighting for life on the battlefield, it was not enough to see.
After all the three children found something that suited them, Zhao Zhen also felt relieved. The main purpose of bringing the children to achieve it. At least they were not used to it in the army and could be in harmony with the soldiers.
Under the leadership of Sancai, Zhao Zhen made many mistakes in the army and finally entered a camp in the army under layers of protection. This is the most mysterious place in the army and a place that has never appeared in the army before.
