Straight man of steel

Chapter 191 New plan

Under the leadership of Lao Zhao, there are nearly 50 people in Zhang's mansion who are active on the school field in the military camp.

A piece of wood was continuously transported here.

Zhang Yuan only slept for an hour or two the night before, and spent the rest of the time drawing pictures on silk.

There are no complicated utensils.

Basically some horizontal and parallel bars, and some stone and wood dumbbells.

There are only a few common training methods that Zhang Yuan can think of.

Running, push-ups, sit-ups, horizontal bar pull-ups, parallel bar dips.

Dumbbells are made to allow soldiers to exercise their arms in their spare time.

"Old Zhao, quickly set up a set first, and I will show General Wei Qing how to use these equipment."

"Here."

Old Zhao made a promise, and then quickly led people to build ground piles, and then firmly stood the wooden horizontal bar and parallel bars in the soil.

Seeing that the single and parallel bars had been set up, Zhang Yuan grabbed the wheat flour he had prepared earlier, and said to Wei Qing Gongsun Ao.

"You two are optimistic about how I do it."

After speaking, he walked towards the horizontal bar, jumped up suddenly and hung his body on the horizontal bar.

Zhang Yuan is 1.8 meters tall, and when he is fully relaxed on the horizontal bar, he hangs about [-] centimeters from the ground.

Lieutenant generals of the Qimen Army are generally short, and most of them are between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall, so the height of two meters is just right now.

After being suspended in mid-air, Zhang Yuan exerted all his strength and finally made a complete pull-up movement, and then fell to the ground.

Coughed twice in embarrassment, and said to Wei Qing with a smile.

"General, come and try."

Wei Qing stepped forward suspiciously, grabbed the horizontal bar with a sudden jump, and started doing pull-ups one after another.

But when he did more than a dozen, his arms were sore and he came down.

"This action is really exhausting."

Wei Qing rubbed his sore arms and preached to Zhang Yuan.

"Whenever you can do thirty or even forty in thirty breaths, it won't be too strenuous to wield a hundred-jin sword in the future."

One hundred catties in the Han Dynasty was more than 40 catties compared to later generations. When Wei Qing can really reach that point, Zhang Yuan believes that he will be able to wield such a big knife easily and use it on the battlefield.

"Then what should be done on weekdays to strengthen the arm strength, is it possible to do this all the time?"

Wei Qing felt that pull-ups were too exhausting, and it was really embarrassing to keep doing this.

"At this time, we need this thing."

Zhang Yuan smiled and pointed to a few stone dumbbells beside him.

He walked over and picked one up, raising and lowering one arm continuously to demonstrate to Wei Qing.

Wei Qing also followed Zhang Yuan's example and started to do it, but he had just done so many pull-ups, and his arms were still a little sore.

"Is it okay to follow your appearance?"

"Yes, General, when you are dealing with official duties or resting, you can do this kind of movement with one arm, without delaying your work or exercising."

Hearing Zhang Yuan's explanation, Wei Qing was very satisfied. He really needed this kind of equipment.

"Old Zhao, send a pair to my military tent later."

"Here."

Next, Zhang Yuan demonstrated the training method of parallel bar flexion and extension for Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao.

These movements are very simple, there is no need to explain them at all, just do them once for everyone to see, so that they can learn from them.

"That's all?"

Wei Qing asked Zhang Yuan after reading it. He felt that pull-ups and arm extensions cannot be used as long-term training items.

Zhang Yuan shook his head indifferently. He really felt that his body was a little weak now, and he was a little tired after the demonstration.

"And three more.

The same is still running in the wild.

The other two are called sit-ups and the same is called push-ups.

You look good. "

Zhang Yuan dragged his tired body, and insisted on demonstrating sit-ups and push-ups for the two of them.

The hollowed out body felt a little swaying when walking.

"The daily training plan of the soldiers of the Qimen Army is like this.

There are five items in total, field running, horizontal bar pull-ups, parallel bar extensions, sit-ups, and push-ups.

These are all training items in the morning, leaving an hour and a half at noon for the soldiers to recover their strength, and then let Zong Xing and others lead the soldiers to practice ordnance.

After the craftsmen in my family finished making the horseshoes, they added cavalry charge training to the process, alternating with ordnance drills.

General, Army Sima, what do you think? "

These things are all new things. Except for running in the wild, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao have never heard of other sports before.

There are also deep doubts about the effect of these projects.

Half a year is not long or short.

If the goal is to fight the Huns, this time will be pitifully small.

"Chang Shi, I'm afraid these training methods will be frowned upon by the Chinese Military Government."

Gongsun Ao was the first to raise an objection.

Zhang Yuan didn't speak but instead looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing pondered for a while, then spoke.

"The Qimen Army belongs directly to His Majesty, and the soldiers' salaries are allocated from the Shaofu.

Originally, the only thing we asked for from the Zhongjun Mansion was ordnance, and to put it bluntly, it was horseshoes and stirrups.

But now Zhang Changshi's mansion has been building equipment, and when all the horseshoes are finished, Zhang Changshi uses the remaining time to let his family build as many crossbows as he wants for the army.

As for the remuneration, after our Qimen army shines in the spring of next year, His Majesty will definitely reward you, and I will use all my rewards to repay the debt owed to Zhang Changshi.

If you lose, it can only mean that this training method is ineffective. The end of the three of you and my brother is estimated to be decapitated, so there is no need to think about those things.

Starting tomorrow, 3000 members of the Qimen Army will strictly follow the training plan formulated by Zhang Changshi. No one should have any objections. As long as His Majesty still allows me to control the Qimen Army, this plan must continue. "

These words were equivalent to issuing a military order in the Qimen army, Gongsun Ao and Zhang Yuan agreed in unison, and no longer entangled in this matter.

After Wei Qing's affirmation, Zhang Yuan immediately took out the complete training plan.

There are clear regulations on how much each project needs to do.

Even the officers had to follow the above plan.

When the Wuchang is doing it, the Shichang supervises.

When the chief is doing it, the village chief supervises it.

When the head of the village was doing it, the army waited for supervision.

When the army was working, Wei Qing, Zhang Yuan, and Gongsun Ao took turns to supervise.

In order to convince everyone in the army, Zhang Yuan included himself this time.

There is no way, there is still half a year to face the Xiongnu, dragging this body to the battlefield, Wei Qing probably does not have enough energy to withdraw to protect him.
