The melodious sound of the horn woke Zhang Ren from his sleep. It was an assembly call. He sat up suddenly, turned over and got out of bed, but suddenly remembered that this was not a military camp!

This is at the martial arts school in Yanziji outside Jiangning City.

And this rallying cry is not directed at them, but at those martial arts students who have just entered school.

Although they all come here to study, the treatment is naturally different because of their different status.

The students who have just been admitted to the martial arts school have to get up before dawn to start a busy day!

But these officers who come for further training do not need to live the life of new recruits again.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw on the bed opposite him that the officer in the same dormitory with him was resting his head on his hands and looking at him with bright eyes!

"Are you awake too?" Zhang Ren asked with a smile.

"I woke up as soon as the horn rang!" The man straightened up and sat up, saying. "It's been almost a month and I still can't change it. It's become a habit."

This man's name is Wu Jing, a cavalry officer from the Tianying Army in the central area. Compared with Zhang Ren who has only been in the army for less than a year, Wu Jing is not much older than Zhang Ren, but he has been a soldier for ten years.

.

At the age of fourteen, he had already become a cavalryman.

In ten years, he was promoted to battalion general.

When the two met for the first time and heard that Zhang Ren had only been in the army for one year and became a camp general, his mouth was wide enough to fit into that guy's fist as big as a bowl.

However, in the following days when the two lived together, after hearing about Zhang Ren's bloody battles and his experience of escaping from death again and again, he no longer felt envious and jealous.

No wonder Zhang Ren was promoted quickly!

It seemed like Wu Jing had never encountered such a battle before.

It seems that most of their battles have been in a crushing manner to defeat the enemy.

The most brutal battle was when he encountered the Liao Shan army in the Battle of Xiangfan, but that battle also caught the opponent by surprise, so winning was actually not too difficult.

Moreover, after knowing that Zhang Ren was once a scholar, Wu Jing was even more impressed.

Because until now, he could only barely understand military orders, and the total number of characters he knew was estimated to be no more than two hundred. Zhang Ren had helped him a lot during the days when he entered the school.

In these military classes, the teacher will not teach you how to read.

And what they talked about was all kinds of, not just military knowledge, but also a series of things like astronomy, geography, cartography, etc. that were like heavenly books to Wu Jing.

During most of the class, Wu Jing was in a petrified state because he really couldn't understand.

After he came down, it was up to Zhang Ren to provide him with extra lessons.

Unlike those teachers who came and went in a hurry, Zhang Ren taught very carefully and was very easy to understand.

In fact, compared to Zhang Ren, this month has also benefited him a lot.

When he was not a soldier, as a scholar, he looked down on those who were soldiers.

Only after I became a soldier did I realize how difficult it is to survive in blood and fire.

Now that I have become an officer, I realize how difficult it is to be a good soldier...

A qualified military officer needs to master a lot of knowledge.

In the past, he had read a lot of military books, but when it was combined with reality, he understood what it means to change with one heart.

Books are dead, and everyone in charge of military power reads military books. But why do some become famous generals in the world, while others lose their troops and lose their generals and remain infamy for thousands of years?

Those who came to give lectures included old academics with extensive knowledge, as well as veteran generals who had never read any books but had been fighting all their lives. The two factors proved to be the best combination of theory and practice.

After experiencing so many things, Zhang Ren looked back on the past and realized how naive and ridiculous it was for him and a group of dandy boys to get together and talk about how they thought they knew how to fight after reading a few military books.

Every day, there is an hour of summary, and this time

, which is also Zhang Ren’s favorite time.

Each time, a war will be randomly selected and the course of the war will be described in detail. Finally, everyone will discuss the preparation, command, response, etc. of the war.

Where is the victory?

Is there a problem there?

Where could it be better?

Generals from all over the world, from different armies and different services, often argue about this with red faces. Sometimes they want to roll up their sleeves and fight. But it is in such discussions that Zhang Ren feels that his understanding of war

, but it is making rapid progress.

Navy troops, cavalry, infantry, scouts, and even some particularly targeted special operations gradually took on a new context in Zhang Ren's mind.

Now he finally understood why the chief minister gathered these people here.

Although I don’t know what the process is like in the higher-level officer training class, there is no doubt that after this round of training, they are not really stupid, so after returning, their military level will definitely be better.

Jump up a big step.

The sound of neat shouts came from outside, and the two battalions would poke their heads out of the windows and look at the neat queue of martial arts athletes running on the road below.

Three years later, these people will become the backbone of the army. When such a group of systematically trained people step into the army, they will inevitably bring new changes to the army.

Words used to describe military generals such as well-developed limbs and simple minds will no longer be applicable.

The following group of people are truly talented in both civil and military affairs.

After breakfast, Zhang Ren and Wu Jing were walking to the classroom with the results they had completed last night, when a teacher hurried over and stopped Zhang Ren.

"Captain Zhang, you don't have to go to class today."

Zhang Ren was startled. What we are going to discuss in class today is the battle in which the chief auxiliary led the cavalry to raid hundreds of miles away and destroy the Luo family ghost kingdom. The task was assigned yesterday. He also completed the homework with great effort and prepared to speak.

Woolen cloth!

"An order came from the Ministry of War, asking you to go to the Ministry of War today."

"Go to the Ministry of War?" I am a small camp general, what does the Ministry of War want me to do?

However, this question obviously does not apply to the teacher in front of me, because looking at the other person's face, he also looks confused...

Zhang Ren's surprise turned into shock after meeting Yang Wanfu, the martial arts master and left minister of the Ministry of War.

Because the person who wanted to see him was the chief minister of the dynasty, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Chongwen.

Even though Zhang Ren is now much less courageous than before, this news still made his legs feel weak and he started to tremble a little when he spoke.

"First, second, and second, you want to meet me?"

Yang Wanfu glanced at him with disgust: "What's wrong with this?"

"Tight and tight!"

"The chief minister is very kind and has no airs. Why are you nervous?" Yang Wanfu led Zhang Ren and strode forward along the public corridor.

Of course you think so, but I don’t!

Zhang Ren secretly cherished this powerful figure in the Ministry of War.

Yang Wanfu is the chief assistant's number one confidant! After following him for more than ten years, he naturally feels that the chief assistant has no airs and is very kind.

Is this really the case?

Think about it, Liu Mingyi, Si Junchao and other former high-ranking officials in the dynasty definitely didn't think so. And those big Jiangnan families who were miserably punished by the chief minister definitely didn't think so either.

Even my own family has become completely different from the past because of a series of policies introduced by the First Assistant.

My father went from the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River to the barren mountains and rivers to become a county magistrate!

In his wild thoughts, Zhang Ren finally saw the young chief minister of the Song Dynasty who was cursed by countless people, but also admired and supported by countless people.

Serving as the first assistant of the Song Dynasty in his early thirties, this achievement is unprecedented and unprecedented!

Moreover, this chief assistant now still has all the power

, he is a truly powerful official.

More importantly, based on Zhang Ren's experience in the army, the lower the soldiers were, the more they admired the chief minister, especially those soldiers from the southwest.

And these supports are the foundation for the invincible position of the young powerful minister in front of him.

No matter how harsh your mouth is, it is not as sharp as a knife.

Zhang Ren understands this very well.

"General Zhang Ren of the 11th Team of the 7th Battalion of the White Feather Army has met the chief assistant!" Before Yang Wanfu could say anything, Zhang Ren had already taken a step forward, crossed his hands and bowed respectfully.

Xiao Cheng, who was reviewing the report, raised his head and looked at the other party, his eyes also lit up.

By the way, Zhang Ren is quite good-looking, with an eight-foot-five figure, he is a full 1.9 meters tall, a little taller than Xiao Cheng, and the perseverance honed on the battlefield coupled with the long-term

The elegance formed by reading poetry and books comes together to form its unique temperament.

"I remember he should be the general commanding a battalion of troops, right?" Xiao Cheng looked at Yang Wanfu with a smile.

Yang Wanfu nodded, "Yes, General Zhou Quan of the 7th Battalion of the White Feather Army has been promoted to the position of commander, and Zhang Ren has been promoted to the position of replacement battalion general. This guy is a little nervous. He probably forgot that he has received the appointment certificate."

"A warrior who has been through life and death, will you be nervous when you see me?" Xiao Cheng laughed.

Zhang Ren raised his head and smiled awkwardly. It seemed that the chief assistant was really very kind.
