Chongzhen Chat Group

As a result, some soldiers in the Beijing camp began to breathe, stamp their feet to keep warm, or simply squatted down and huddled up, while complaining to their comrades next to them.

"What's going on? These officials have something to do and they just forgot about disbanding?"

"That's right, on this cold day, let's drink the cold wind here!"

"..."

At this time, some soldiers in the Beijing camp noticed that someone was not getting along with them. They all turned their heads to look at a spot in front of the general's stage in the school field, and the topic changed.

"Hey, look, those people are still standing motionless!"

"Why are you pretending? It will move after a while. Just watch!"

"If I were one of them, I wouldn't move!"

"..."

After a while, no one from the new army officers spoke, and no one was seen shouting or stamping their feet. The conversation of the soldiers in the Beijing camp changed again, and even the soldiers who were closer started shouting.

"Are you stupid? Those adults are obviously not coming back anytime soon. Why are you still standing so straight?"

"That's right, it's such a cold day. If you stand for a long time and freeze to death, stop being so serious. No one will care!"

"..."

In fact, these Beijing soldiers had the opposite effect. Originally, some of the New Army officers had the same idea as them and wanted to relax. But one look at the appearance of the soldiers in the Beijing Camp actually aroused their arrogance. Look, we are different from Jingying. We represent the emperor and are the elites formed by the emperor himself. Under military orders, can I still be like you?

Just like that, the soldiers of the Beijing camp had lost their posture, and the noise became loud. However, the soldiers of the new army still maintained their original posture. Many of them even had a hint of pride on their faces.

The situation on the school field was visible to the people on the second floor of a building in the distance one by one. They didn't even need to use telescopes to see the general situation of the school grounds clearly.

Beside the window, Man Gui's face turned a little red. Fortunately, he had a beard, so not many people noticed it. The chief instructor of the New Army always smiles. This month I have been emphasizing on prohibitions, and it seems to be really effective. Against the backdrop of his peers, he becomes even more eye-catching.

After a while, Emperor Chongzhen sat in the room and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is there any movement in the new army?"

When Mao Yuanyi heard this, she immediately turned around and walked to Emperor Chongzhen in a few steps. With a face full of joy, she respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, there is no movement yet!"

"Yes, then continue to wait." Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Perhaps Mangui felt embarrassed, so he turned around and walked back. He always had a loud voice, but his voice was much lower and said: "The last general is incompetent in running the army, please punish him!"

But Zu Dashou on the side knew that most of the Ming army would basically react this way to this improvised scene, including Guan Ning's army. This means that it is not that Mangui is poorly trained, but that the new army is more outstanding.

Emperor Chongzhen was not angry after hearing Man Gui's words, nor did he punish him. He just told him calmly: "Back when Marshal Qi was in charge of the army, even if it was a rainy day, there was no order to disband the army, and the troops were motionless. That was called an order and a prohibition. But. Our Ming Dynasty rarely has such an army except at the beginning of the founding of the country. Man Qing, we really need to strengthen this aspect!"

Mao Yuanyi's military training was based on Qi Jiguang's military training methods. However, compared with Qi Jiguang's military training back then, the new army this time has even more tricks. For example, those political commissars who served as eunuchs would also emphasize military discipline in their usual lectures, and even tell some short stories about orders and prohibitions to let the new army officers know. This kind of education is helpful to some extent, and Mao Yuanyi admits this.

However, he already knew at this time that the emperor suddenly made such an arrangement this time. In fact, it was not to compare the officers and soldiers of the New Army with the soldiers of the Beijing Camp, but to conduct a test on the military discipline of the New Army. It was to conduct a test among the soldiers of the New Army. A comparison to see who will persist longer, thus providing a reference for the selection of new army officers.

Time passed slowly, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the commander-in-chief and generals were still nowhere to be seen. This made the soldiers in the Beijing camp very dissatisfied, and some even started to curse. They were no longer interested in teasing the new army officers and soldiers, and the basic formations were gone. It was often a familiar group of people who gathered together, hugging each other for warmth, and talking about complaints.

At the beginning, the low-level military attachés such as generals and generals would scold them, but later, they themselves did the same, and many of them even hid in places where they could block the cold wind.

Slowly, the New Army officers could no longer stand, but most of them still stood there and just spoke.

"What's going on? It's been so long and you haven't come back yet. Could it be that something really delayed you, or that you thought we had disbanded?"

"Is this really possible? It's been an hour, right?"

"..."

These people who spoke did not include Cao Bianjiao. From the first day he came to the New Army, he required himself to be the first in everything he did. He came to the New Army not for the treatment of the New Army, but to surpass Wu Sangui, who was a general. He wanted to pay back the insult that day!

Therefore, when Brother Zhao who was standing nearby shouted to him, he remained silent and still looked at the front of the general stage without squinting. This made Brother Zhao and the others silent, or they were used to Cao Bianjiao being the leader. What Cao Bianjiao did, they also did.

Or maybe the gathering took too long and the adults couldn't even be seen. More and more soldiers from the Beijing Camp left their positions and headed towards the barracks around the school grounds. It was a good choice to hide there to avoid the wind.

Most of the soldiers are doing this now, and they won't believe what those adults can do to them after they come back. Didn't I say that there is a saying that the law does not blame everyone!

At the end, almost only the New Army officers and soldiers were still standing in the huge school field. However, some of the new army officers and soldiers have already begun to breathe and stamp their feet to keep warm. The soldiers in the Beijing camp were bored standing there, and the topic turned to the current situation.

"A bunch of fools, they are still standing there after how long it has been. Those adults must have forgotten to explain!"

"Maybe the adults thought we would go back to the barracks on our own, so they didn't bother to come over and notify us of the disbandment."

"Let's go back to the barracks together. So what if the adults come back? Haha, just stand there and blow the wind. Keep blowing, or you'll freeze to death!"

"..."

Or I saw that most of the soldiers in the Beijing Camp had left the school grounds and were hiding in sheltered places. Or maybe they had stood for a long enough time and became hungry. Some of the New Army soldiers began to be unable to stand, turned their heads to talk, or relaxed and lost their standing posture.

The next chapter is estimated to be around noon.
