When Li Xin saw the new recruits of the Prince's Guard again, he was still somewhat disappointed.

Although these people were much better physiques than the refugees, they did not look like an army when they stood together.

Strictly speaking, it didn't resemble the army he remembered.

Li Xin, from a later generation, had the following first impression of the army: its neat formations and excellent morale.

The current royal guards are, at best, like factory workers.

Standing on the high platform, Li Xin looked around with a solemn expression and did not speak.

Wei Jun, who was standing to the side, put on a smile and whispered, "Your Highness, how is it?"

We've spent a lot of time training them, and things have changed a lot since we first recruited them last year.

Look at them, each one strong and agile.

Even their archery training is almost complete…

Wei Jun said with a smug look on his face.

However, his words did not attract Li Xin's attention.

Seeing Li Xin's expressionless face, Wei Jun's heart skipped a beat. Was the training not good enough?

But I've already done my best!

Even He Chaojun, who was standing next to him, was somewhat puzzled.

The constant threat of attacks from grassland bandits kept them on edge.

For this reason, the Prince's Guard trained very hard and basically never rested.

It took several months for those refugees to become physically strong again.

But why couldn't this bring His Highness Prince Xin any comfort?

"Brothers,"

At this moment, Li Xin said loudly, "Your training is very good, and I can see the changes in you."

I know you've all worked very hard lately, and I've seen it all.

very good! "

Upon hearing Li Xin's words of praise, Wei Jun and He Chaojun relaxed, their worries finally lifted.

Even the soldiers in the ranks felt a warmth in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Xin changed the subject and continued, "However,

Our enemies, the grassland bandits, are even more powerful!

We now have more troops, we have thunderbolts at our disposal, and the city walls have been reinforced.

But are we going to stay and defend Dongning City forever?

Are we just going to stand by and watch as Shuangcheng Prefecture, Xiande Prefecture, and other places are ravaged by grassland bandits?

Are we just going to let our compatriots in the north be bullied by others?

Are you willing to keep hiding like cowards?

The loud voice stirred the passion of the surrounding guards of the Prince's Palace.

"No!"

"No!"

...

The soldiers of the Prince's Palace Guard shouted with great enthusiasm.

Even Wei Jun and He Chaojun were somewhat agitated, silently repeating in their hearts: No way!

yes!

Nobody wants to be a coward their whole life!

In particular, a large portion of these new recruits in the Prince's Guard were civilians who had fled from the northern prefectures and counties of Dongning Province!

They are even less willing to be cowards for the rest of their lives!

They were even less willing to remain trapped in Dongning City, unable to reclaim their homes!

A few words ignited the soldiers' fighting spirit.

Li Xin continued, "Brothers, if you are unwilling, then I am unwilling too!"

Therefore, we must seize the time to train!

Now that we have achieved such great results, we should not be complacent, we still have a long way to go!

Only after we train hard and grow into an army capable of defeating the bandits on the grasslands can we recover our lost territory and rebuild our homeland!

Only then can we wash away the shame we have been saddled with!

The atmosphere was set, and the soldiers of the Prince's Guard became even more enthusiastic.

Li Xin knew that he had achieved his goal.

Next, his methods will be implemented within the Prince's Palace Guard.

How can we quickly train the morale and spirit of soldiers?

It relies on iron discipline!

Iron discipline is nothing more than the result of rigorous training and a strict lifestyle!

Therefore, it is necessary to fundamentally and thoroughly change the training methods and living habits of the Prince's Guard.

There are naturally readily available and highly efficient training methods!

That is the experience of later generations!

"Wei Jun, He Chaojun,"

Li Xin instructed, "Have everyone assemble. I will personally teach you!"

Before long, a large group of people stood neatly in the drill ground.

"Everyone has one!"

Li Xin shouted loudly, "Spread out one meter apart in all directions!"

The guards of the Prince's Palace dispersed in an orderly fashion, and no one spoke.

"stand at attention!"

Li Xin shouted again.

The team members were somewhat puzzled, but no one questioned them.

Li Xin explained, "When you hear the command to stand at attention, quickly bring your heels together, point your toes outwards, straighten your legs, and slightly tuck in your abdomen..."

As he spoke, Li Xin walked through the ranks.

Every now and then, he would reach out and pat the soldiers' bodies.

"Keep your chest out naturally, keep your upper body upright, lean slightly forward, keep your shoulders level, and pull them slightly back."

With arms hanging naturally at your sides, fingers together and slightly bent, palms pressed firmly against the sides of your thighs.

Head upright, neck straight, mouth closed, chin slightly tucked in, eyes looking straight ahead with a murderous aura!

Maintain the attention posture for 15 minutes!

Those who complete this will each receive an egg as a reward at lunchtime!

After a brief instruction, all members of the Prince's Guard stood at attention as required.

Even Wei Jun, He Chaojun, and others stood as required.

However, in less than fifteen minutes, Wei Jun felt his legs were sore and numb, and he felt exhausted all over.
