Song Que was originally just curious about Lei Hu's flying knife skills, and he was planning to stay in Jiankang City for a while, and at least wanted to have a fight with the senior officials of the Yin Kui Sect before moving to other places.
He wanted to have more contact with young masters like Lei Hu, and his big wish also required the help of such martial arts wizards. In order to better influence Lei Hu, he simply temporarily lived in the military camp outside the city, without being affected by the military camp commander at all.
The influence of Qingxu Lao Tao.
But he never expected that he would see a shocking scene in the military camp.
Military discipline is strict and training is rigorous, these are nothing.
The Song Dynasty clan in Lingnan had a private army. As long as they knew how to train and lead the army and the family leaders did not interfere indiscriminately, it was quite easy to achieve this.
But in the military camp under the command of Qingxu Lao Dao, there are actually martial arts and literacy classes, which is very remarkable, or shocking to the world.
At the moment, the influence of the aristocratic families is slowly declining from the peak period of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties. At this time, the influence of the aristocratic families is still strong, often making those in power fearful but helpless.
This was the case in the Northern Sui Dynasty. Not to mention the Guanlong Military Group, the famous Five Surnames Qiwang, and even Yang Jian, the founder of the Northern Sui Dynasty, did not dare to act rashly.
What does aristocratic family rely on to maintain the family's glory?
As a member of the aristocratic family, Song Que knew all the secrets of the Lingnan Song clan.
There is only one answer: monopoly on knowledge!
Qingxu Laodao, or Lei Hu, set up martial arts and literacy classes in the army. To put it bluntly, he was in the corner of the Washi family. This was a move that would lead to strong revenge from the Washi family.
"how so?"
Song Que was shocked for a long time. When he calmed down completely, he directly asked Lei Hu what happened.
He was not a fool. After living in the military camp for a few days, he quickly realized that Old Dao Qingxu was the commander in name, but in reality it was Lei Hu who made all the decisions.
And at this time, he also knew Lei Hu's true age. Apart from cursing him a monster, there was no other negative impact.
Compared with the ambitious Shi Zhixuan, Song Que's ambitions were not small, but his character was much more glorious. He believed that Lei Hu would be a good opponent for him to sharpen his sword in the future, and did not think about killing the threat.
In the cradle, he showed great generosity and magnanimity at a young age.
Of course, he wouldn't hide it for Lei Hu. Even if Lei Hu really couldn't withstand the stranglehold of other aristocratic families and died on the way, Song Que wouldn't have any undue regret.
"In this way, we can build a strong army!"
Lei Hu did not hide anything, and said in a solemn voice: "Only an army with ideals and beliefs can maintain its combat effectiveness for a long time without declining, and may even create a military soul that will last for thousands of years!"
He thought of a certain army in modern times, that was the true model of a strong army!
As for the so-called strong armies that appeared in China in history, they basically only appeared during the heyday of the dynasty. When the political situation fluctuated, their combat effectiveness soon declined significantly.
The reasons involved many aspects, but he believed that the most important aspect was that there was a gap in the army's beliefs and ideals, and then the powerful army with the world's most powerful combat power quickly fell.
Song Que's mouth twitched, feeling that Lei Hu was a little naive and took things for granted, but he didn't express his thoughts and just asked: "How to do it?"
As if worried that Lei Hu didn't understand, he continued: "The more you understand, the more you fear death!"
"Don't talk like a scholar!"
Lei Hu said angrily: "I just teach the lieutenants in the army how to read and write. I teach them to protect the countryside and let them know why they fight. As long as they are not really cowards, the combat effectiveness they exert is not to say that it is the best in the contemporary era, but at least the lower limit is still high."
of!"
"I'll wait and see!"
Song Que was somewhat disapproving and did not continue to dwell on such an issue.
After observing for a few days, he had to admit that Lei Hu's move was quite effective.
At least this 30,000-strong army belonging to Qingxu Lao Dao is quite good in terms of energy and spirit. It has strict military discipline and strict training. In addition, it adds actual combat experience by suppressing bandits from time to time. At a glance, it is known that it is a team that can only be fought.
Song Que was not a fool. He fought all the way from Lingnan to Jiankang. Although most of his energy was spent on competing with others, what he saw along the way also revealed how bad Nanchen was.
Not to mention how bad the local government is, the garrison troops in various places are in bad shape. Their combat effectiveness is so poor that even some stronger bandits and bandits cannot defeat them in equal numbers.
He was even confident that he could sweep all the way from Lingnan and kill Jiankang City just by relying on his family's private army!
Qingxu Laodao's army was the only powerful Nanchen army that he could see. It might not be as good as the Song clan's private army, but its combat power was not far behind.
Because of this, he was surprised to see such a group of people outside Jiankang City.
But when Song Que learned that all the soldiers under the command of Qingxu Lao Dao had practiced the iron cloth shirt, he was even more shocked and speechless.
I have seen crazy people, but I have never seen a guy as crazy as Lei Hu.
Can martial arts be taught casually?
From Song Que's perspective, he carefully considered the content and training methods of Tiebushi Heng's kung fu training, and came to an astonishing result.
As long as there is no shortage of resources, an ordinary person who practices iron cloth shirt and practices kung fu for ten years can at least be a third-rate player in the world.
As long as there are some opportunities or good physical talents, if you practice for ten years without any accidents in the middle, you may be able to reach the second-rate level!
If there really is someone with extraordinary talent, who has practiced the iron cloth shirt, a horizontal external skill, it is very possible to reach an extremely high level from the outside, and step into the first-class or even the top ranks of the world!
Song Que is not an ordinary person. How can he, who will become a master-level expert in the future, fail to see that the iron cloth-shirted martial arts training taught by Lei Hu to the sergeants can improve the combat effectiveness of the army, as well as the personal strength of the soldiers?
If he had known that the most powerful general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, who was later known as "the king is not as powerful as the overlord, and the general is not as powerful as Li", could compete with the overlord Xiang Yu in terms of military strength, and also practiced horizontal kung fu, I am afraid he would no longer be able to be so calm at this time.
There were endless heroes during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Not to mention the existence of those people who came from aristocratic families, just the reckless heroes who appeared during the melee in the late Sui Dynasty. If they had been exposed to martial arts training early, even if they were just the most rudimentary horizontal kung fu such as iron cloth shirt, they would have
I'm afraid that in his prime, his martial arts would be more than one or two points better.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, whether in official or unofficial history, fierce men who could carry oxen appeared at every turn. If these rough and fierce men with little martial arts resources learned to practice Kung Fu in iron cloth shirts, I am afraid there would be another one in the world.
More or less masters.
"Isn't it a little too much?"
Song Que was full of doubts and curiously asked Lei Hu: "If you want 30,000 soldiers to practice collectively, it will require a lot of resources. Isn't it possible that the imperial court will not be able to supply them all?"
"Also, if you masters and apprentices have trained a group of good soldiers, what if they are not satisfied with their status in the army and want to leave and find a better way out?"
"Food and material supply is not a problem!"
Lei Hu chuckled and explained calmly: "Master and I still attach great importance to the Yin Kui Party. It will not be a problem to ensure the supply of food and grass supplies for 30,000 people!"
"As for the generals who have become famous in the army and want to find another job?"
Having said this, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and he said coldly: "Then clearly divide the resources they consumed and the contributions they made while in the army, list them directly in the form of food and grass supplies, and let the recipients
Their power will pay the difference!"
Seeing that Song Que still frowned slightly, obviously the doubts in his heart were not completely solved, Lei Hu smiled and said indifferently: "If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come. I really hope that the iron cloth shirt kung fu will spread.
The quality of the soldiers in the army will be greatly improved!"
"You have such a big heart!"
Shaking his head, Song Que couldn't help but laugh and said: "If it were another force, even if it was just a rudimentary horizontal kung fu like Tie Bushan, it wouldn't be spread around at will!"
"Hey, martial arts is only effective if there are more people practicing it!"
Lei Hu said coldly: "If the Eastern Han Dynasty court and the major families were willing to spread the basic martial arts in their hands, would those barbarians who invaded the Central Plains dare to be so arrogant?"
Song Que was shocked and looked at Lei Hu with a look of disbelief on his face, shocked by such a bold idea.
"Don't be surprised!"
Lei Hu sneered and said: "The Lingnan Song clan is one of the few remaining orthodox Han families. They should know what happened to the Han Wu Yulin orphans back then!"
It can be seen from the classics collected by the lineage of Daozu Zhenzhuan that in order to revitalize the military spirit of the Han Dynasty, the Yulin Guards and Yulin Orphans created by Han Wu were all beings who had practiced martial arts in the army. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty poured a lot of resources into them.
, and this led to Weihuo's glorious achievements later in sweeping the grasslands and deserts.
Otherwise, even the elite border troops of the Han army would not be able to withstand the huge consumption of running rampant across the desert grasslands in a short period of time.
But by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the strongest elites of the Han court had become the so-called "Sanhe Jingqi", which was much worse than the Yulin Guards in their heyday.
Wasn't it because the Han Dynasty did not have such resources at that time?
Everyone, including the emperor, only cared about personal gain and firmly held martial arts as their foundation, and then the Han Dynasty was completely over.
How did the aristocratic families come from during the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties? How could they not be afraid of dynasty changes? Not all of them had too many resources in their hands. One of the most important resources was a variety of basic to advanced knowledge.
Martial Arts Classics.
"The consumption is too great. I'm afraid Nan Chen won't be able to hold on!"
Heroes such as Song Que were shocked by Lei Hu's actions. When he reacted, he asked a very practical question.
Practicing martial arts requires consuming resources!
If the iron-clothed martial art of horizontal kung fu spreads completely and reaches the point where everyone can practice it, how terrible will it be to consume the resources behind enemy lines?
I'm afraid that Nan Chen's national power can only meet the cultivation consumption of 100,000 people at most, right?
