For the first time, Zhao Xi felt that his father was not mediocre, but that his personality had been suppressed.
As for the move just now, it doesn't mean that anyone can turn this corner, but dad just did it so casually.
Lao Chen Lin is well-informed and not only has great skills, she also went on an expedition with the army when she was young. It is not surprising that she can write such charming words.
If anyone feels that it is not appropriate for eunuchs to be placed in the army, let him or her write it.
Zhao Xi did not take everyone directly to the training ground, but went to the barracks first... He had to let the empress see what he had done with the more than 100,000 yuan he took from the inner garden.
In line with the principle of economy, Zhao Xi did not push the entire military camp to be rebuilt, but carried out transformation according to local conditions.
Just like the barracks...how to describe it, it is a pure copy of the style of military camps in later generations. Except that the appearance belongs to this era, the interior layout is all from later generations. Of course, everything that can be found is available, and what is not available cannot be created out of thin air.
It's quite interesting. The sign at the door is: "Ban". After entering, there is a bunk bed against the wall... It turns out that the bed can be moved up and down.
The headboard of each bed is a cabinet and table connected to the bed, and a small bench is stuffed under the bed...
Let's not talk about it, it's a military camp, that's what it is. The only difference is that Zhao Xi didn't put the civilian assistant officers and military generals in the same room... at least not now.
When they arrived at the training ground, Zhao Xi took the time to change his clothes... which looked awkward.
Zhao Xi enjoyed it very much. In addition to the fabric being made of linen and the shoes being cloth shoes, the fine tradition also needs to be carried forward...the leggings and the rest are the same color as the training uniforms.
This is why everyone feels awkward.
"Xi'er, why is it such a color?"
Zhao Zhen thought the uniforms of the Imperial Guards were fine, but he didn't understand why Xi'er acted like this. Although he wouldn't say anything in court, some criticism was certain.
"Dad, wait for the child to demonstrate."
I didn’t demonstrate my selection of soldiers, but I had to demonstrate the training uniforms first.
Zhao Xi still kept the wild grass around the training ground. The military camp was originally a mess, but some things were put to good use.
Zhao Xi quickly ran to the training ground... Looking at these familiar and unfamiliar facilities, he really thought about it again.
After making a circle, Zhao Xi turned around the brick wall, crawled into the grass, slowly climbed back out of the grass, and stayed there without moving.
"Daban, what does the prince mean by this?"
Zhao Zhen took a few steps forward, and the crowd followed him. But he had already crossed the brick wall, but Zhao Xi was not seen.
"Guan family, the prince is right in front of you."
This... I really can't hide this from Chen Lin.
When he said this, Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao both stared, looked at old Chen Lin, and then looked at the person in front of them... Where is the person?
This... when Zhao Xi stood up, he was right in front of him, less than a stone's throw away.
Zhao Zhen understood. The only ones who truly understood the meaning of this color were Chen Lin and Cao Lin, who had military experience.
At this time, Cao Lin became more and more determined that he must be selected as the guard of the East Palace. Not only did he get close to His Highness the Crown Prince, but he also wanted to create these novel things for His Highness the Crown Prince.
He could imagine that the East Palace Guard Camp would be a unique existence in the entire country, not just in terms of status.
"Xi'er, what is the source of this?"
"Dad, there are some insects on the leaves of the grass, but they cannot be seen even though they are close. The child looked carefully and found that the reason why they were not found was because the body color of the mosquitoes was close to the color of the trees and grass. Therefore, the child ordered the linen to be dyed
Such a color.”
No one understands bionics no matter how much you talk about it, but talking about it casually makes people believe it.
Zhao Xi was worried about the color of the training uniforms at first. After chatting with the master craftsmen of the generals and supervisors, he realized that in this era, it was possible to dye the original color of linen into different colors.
What Zhao Xi asked for was still the most basic and primitive plant dyeing, which was nothing more than confusing the standard patterns...
The next step is the key point. Zhao Zhen originally wanted to go back after taking a look, but because of Zhao Xi's outfit, he became interested in all the projects.
It doesn't matter whether the court is closed or not, just take a rest for yourself.
Cao Lin also wanted to wear a set of clothes like His Royal Highness, but he didn't dare to say it. He just kept looking at it.
"Cousin, the training uniform is exclusive to the guards of the East Palace. Before I become a guard of the East Palace, I cannot make an exception for anyone."
Some doors are open, and some are not. Just like training uniforms, if Zhao Xi wants to set a benchmark and set an example, he must make people think that this is a symbol of status, which is not so easy to obtain.
This is not all, some things are still being done in the palace.
"Your Highness, I understand my humble position."
You know it or not, whatever His Highness the Crown Prince says is what it is.
"For the final selection, you need to cross-country for ten miles with bare hands before completing the following events. The so-called ten-mile cross-country with bare hands means running around that circle ten times..."
Zhao Xi pointed to the flat ground next to him... that was the future formation training ground.
"I'll do it once, and you can remember the sequence and movements."
Zhao Xi didn't know if he could complete it successfully with his current physical fitness, but all the essentials of the movements were very clear in his mind.
Start with push-ups, sit-ups, arm curls, pull-ups, and then start crawling forward, overcoming obstacles...
This was a subject in which he could achieve excellence in the past, but now... he just passed the test and was already out of breath.
Being young is one thing, but the lack of systematic exercise is the most important reason.
"Cousin, what I just did is the most basic quantity and time standards."
Zhao Xi went through it again, and the biggest feeling was that...the entire country may not be able to select a few qualified soldiers.
Old Chen Lin looked at it and didn't really take it seriously at first. He didn't think His Highness the Crown Prince could create a special training method... The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
After His Highness the Crown Prince finished, Old Chen Lin couldn't help but did it again just like His Highness the Crown Prince had done...
"How about it, my companion?"
"Guan family, anyone who passes this level will be attacked by a hundred enemies!"
It's a bit exaggerated, but this time he really felt that His Royal Highness's military training methods were extraordinary.
"From today on, the Imperial City Division will dispatch heavy troops to strictly guard this military camp!"
There are hundreds of enemies! How can Zhao Zhen remain calm?
Over the years, various military prefectures have been training their troops in different ways. Some impose severe punishments, and some reward the good and punish the bad. But I have never seen such comments from the great companion... Those are just scratching the surface, how can I tell future generations about the selection?
Compared to previous systems?
Zhao Xi didn't mind hearing his father's arrangement, but Cao Lin and the others were dumbfounded.
I was also planning to plead with His Highness the Crown Prince to allow them to come several times a day. Now...
"The official family, Lin'er, Jingxian..."
The Queen didn't think about anything else. She didn't understand how powerful Xi'er was at playing with them. She only knew that Xi'er's bodyguards must be selected by members of the Cao family.
"Daban, please make some signs for entry and exit."
"Dad, my child has already prepared the identification tag for the camp, but...it's just that this identification tag is only used for guard status. My cousin can use it temporarily and return it the day before the selection."
