Chapter 293 Dad Said

In the camp outside Tenglongwei City, the first batch of more than 3,000 soldiers has begun training.

With the current number of military households that Tenglong Guard has, Tenglong Guard should have 12,000 soldiers, but it is obvious that Tenglong Guard is currently unable to train so many soldiers at the same time, even if they are dispersed for training.

Therefore, training in batches and phases is necessary.

According to Yang Zhengshan's plan, all soldiers of Tenglong Guard must undergo one month of basic training and one month of practical training.

Basic training is conducted in the camp, and practical training is carried out in each thousand-household unit.

After completing the basic training, the garrison office would select the best ones to become battalion soldiers. Ultimately, 3,000 battalion soldiers would be selected, and the rest would be garrison soldiers.

The basic training will last for four months. After all soldiers have completed the basic training, this camp will become the base for the soldiers.

Soldiers in the battalion will undergo more rigorous combat training, practice various military skills, and ultimately be assigned to military branches based on their performance in combat training.

The three thousand soldiers in the camp were divided into two thousand infantry, five hundred light cavalry, and five hundred armored cavalry.

However, this is only this year's training plan. In the future, Yang Zhengshan will increase the number of cavalry of Tenglong Guard.

Five thousand elite cavalry and ten thousand elite infantry are what the Tenglong Guard should be organized as, and this is also Yang Zhengshan’s requirement for the future of the Tenglong Guard.

As the training plan unfolded, Yang Zhengshan became increasingly busy.

The training of the first batch of soldiers had already started for three days before Yang Zhengshan had time to come and take a look.

Standing on the high platform that had just been built in the camp, Yang Zhengshan looked at the soldiers standing in line under the sun, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Tengyunwei has a big problem, and that is the physical fitness of the soldiers.

One can imagine the physical fitness of the soldiers who have been in poverty for a long time.

Although their physical fitness has improved a lot after several months of recuperation, they still look very thin.

"They can't withstand the high-intensity training!" Yang Zhengshan said to Song Dashan next to him.

"Sir, these are the stronger soldiers in each garrison, and most of them are from the Tenglong vanguard!" Song Dashan said with a bitter face.

Tamron Avant-garde!

Yang Zhengshan smiled with disdain. In the past, the Lan family had indeed maintained the organization of the Tenglong Vanguard, but with the Lan family's greedy nature, they would never give these soldiers the treatment they deserved.

In the past, the soldiers of Tenglong’s vanguard could only have enough food and clothing, and there was no need to think about anything else.

"Arrange people to buy meat from the surrounding counties and Jing'an Prefecture. Buy pork, mutton, chicken, eggs, fish, and bring them back to me!" Yang Zhengshan was also very angry.

If you want to become stronger, how can you not eat meat?
Although Lingquan water has the effect of strengthening the physical fitness, it cannot change the state of malnutrition.

The right way is to use both spiritual spring water and meat.

"Sir, should I do this?" Song Dashan asked, scratching his head.

"..."

Yang Zhengshan glanced at him with disdain, "I'll let Lu Wenhua do it, you just need to make room when the time comes!"

"Okay!" Song Dashan laughed.

Yang Zhengshan checked the barracks again before returning to the Acropolis. On the way back to the Acropolis, he instructed his followers, "Come to the camp every three days. If I forget, remember to remind me!"

Now Tenglongwei is in a period of reconstruction. He has too many things to do and it is inevitable that some omissions will occur.

"Here!"

The followers responded one after another.

Yang Zhengshan had just returned to the Acropolis when he received good news from Kyoto that Lu Wenyuan was the third place winner of this year's imperial examination.

"Hahaha, this kid has really made it!"

In the main hall of the Yang family's main courtyard, Yang Zhengshan laughed with satisfaction.

"Dad, should we send a gift to the Lu family?" Wang asked.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "It's time to congratulate them. How about this, you prepare a gift and have Wu Zhan deliver it tomorrow!"

It can be imagined that at this time, the Lu family must have been crowded with guests and received a lot of gifts.

Lu Wenyuan not only passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he also entered the Hanlin Academy and became an editor.

Although the Hanlin Academy was a low-paying government office and its editors had little power, it was mainly responsible for the daily work of the court, such as drafting imperial edicts, compiling historical books, and lecturing at imperial lectures.

Everything else is easy to deal with. This lecturer in the imperial lectures will have the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor.

Generally speaking, entering the Hanlin Academy means a bright future. Although not every Hanlin can become an important official, the opportunities in the Hanlin Academy are much greater than in other government offices.

Upon learning that Lu Wenyuan had entered the Hanlin Academy, Yang Zhengshan became even more looking forward to him.

"By the way, prepare some more wine and food in the evening so we can celebrate for Wenyuan!" Yang Zhengshan instructed Wang again.

"Okay, Dad, I'll arrange it right away!"

Wang responded.

Everyone in the Yang family was very happy about Lu Wenyuan's success in the imperial examination. Whether it was Yang Mingzhi or Yang Minghao, this meant that the Yang family had gained another helping hand.

While the Yang family was celebrating Lu Wenyuan's success in the imperial examination, Yang Mingcheng had already left Shuntian Prefecture and entered Jizhou.

Jizhou is the only way to the Liaodong region and is also the most prosperous place in the northeast of Dayong.

It was already dusk, and Yang Mingcheng and his party were preparing to stay overnight in a town called Xinping Town. Xinping Town was also very lively, and many merchants from all over the country would choose to stay overnight in Xinping Town. There were many inns in the town for merchants to stay.

Although Yang Mingcheng was honest, he would not let himself be wronged, so he chose the largest inn in the town, Xinfu Inn.

However, when entering the Xinfu Inn, Yang Mingcheng looked at the inn's sign with some surprise.

"Why is there a broken knife on the sign?"

He was just surprised and didn't ask any further questions, so he went into the inn and stayed the night.

The inn was very lively at this time. There were many guests staying overnight tonight, and Yang Mingcheng and his companions were not conspicuous among them.

Soon, Wu Da asked the shopkeeper to arrange three guest rooms and three tables of meals. He also asked the shopkeeper to add more horse feed to their horses.

There were only eight people in their group, and although they could all ride horses, they still brought a carriage to carry their luggage and some other things.

Large inns like these all have dedicated stables and provide horse feed for passing caravans.

When Yang Mingcheng was away, it was usually Wu Da who helped him take care of these trivial matters. Wu Da had been with Yang Mingcheng for many years and had long been accustomed to these trivial matters.

At night, Yang Mingcheng simply washed up in the guest room and fell asleep.

The bustling inn gradually became quiet, with snoring sounds coming one after another.

The cold moonlight shone down, and the whole town fell into sleep. However, in this quiet night, more than a dozen figures quietly approached the outside of the Xinfu Inn.

They did not enter the inn through the main door, but carefully jumped directly to the second floor from the east side of the inn.

The cold blade flashes a bright light under the candlelight and moonlight.

Although there were more than a dozen of them moving together, their movements were so slight that they made almost no sound.

However, Yang Mingcheng, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. The sleepiness immediately faded away like the tide, and his eyes flashed with sharp brilliance.

"There's someone! He's definitely not a good person if he's sneaking around!"

Yang Mingcheng muttered to himself.

Yang Zhengshan's hearing and eyesight are far superior to those of ordinary people, and Yang Mingcheng also has super hearing and eyesight.

Over the years, if you ask who has drunk the most spiritual spring water besides Yang Zhengshan, it must be Yang Mingcheng without a doubt.

Even Yu Qingyi is not as good as Yang Mingcheng. After all, Yang Mingcheng has been with Yang Zhengshan all these years, while Yu Qingyi and Yang Zhengshan have only been married for four years.

Although the movements of those people outside were very quiet, they could not escape Yang Mingcheng's ears.

Yang Mingcheng listened for a while and found that the people outside were moving towards him.

What are these people going to do?
At this time, Yang Mingcheng didn't think that these people were looking for him. He thought that this group of people were looking for other guests.

But even if he was looking for other guests, he still got up, quietly put on his clothes, and grabbed the spear that was placed beside the bed.

There are countless fights and killings in the underworld, and there are countless cases of innocent people being affected.

He doesn't want to be the innocent victim.

It is still necessary to be careful.

After he prepared everything, he came to the door and planned to wake up Wu Da and the others first.

But just as he was about to quietly open the door, he suddenly found that the people outside were approaching him.

"What's going on? Is it coming for us?"

Yang Mingcheng thought for a moment and realized that he was naive, not stupid.

The other party's target seemed very clear, which was to target his room.

Because the second floor of the inn was in the shape of a U, the room he lived in was on the upper floor, which was on the side close to the street. There were only six rooms on this side, and he and Wu Da and others occupied three of them. Since the other party was close to this side, it was very likely that they were coming for them.

Listening to the noise getting closer, a gleam of excitement flashed in Yang Mingcheng's eyes.

Let’s fight!

Woo woo woo, I've practiced martial arts for so many years, but I've never been in a fight!
When it comes to fighting, Yang Mingcheng feels full of grievances.

If it was a competition, he often competed with others at home, but as for a real fight, he had never encountered one in all these years.

When Yang Zhengshan was fighting on the battlefield, he was at home. When Yang Zhengshan was fighting bandits, he was at home. When Yang Zhengshan was handling affairs in the yamen, he was either at home or in the back.

After so many years, he hasn't found a chance to take action.

Now that someone actually came to his door, he was so excited that his heart was pounding, even faster than when he married his wife and entered the bridal chamber.

Well, at that time he probably didn't understand what entering the bridal chamber meant.

He held his breath, trying his best to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, took a step back, and put his spear against the door.

"Dad said that when facing the enemy, we must end their lives in the most cruel way!"

"Dad said that the most important thing in a battle is to stay calm!"

"Dad said, no matter who the enemy is, as long as he wants to kill me, I will pierce his chest without hesitation!"

Yang Mingcheng recalled Yang Zhengshan's past teachings and gripped the pole even harder.
