When the emperor arrived, a deafening cheer erupted in the military camp. It wasn't to welcome the emperor, but rather two people wrestling naked. If Zhao Huan wasn't mistaken, it was sumo wrestling!
Holy crap! Legend has it that sumo wrestling originated in China, and it's true! The Japanese learned it from China!
Just as Zong Ze was about to gather people, Zhao Huan stopped him, as Zhao Huan was eager to see what was happening.
On the open ground, the two strong soldiers pounced on each other like tigers, and then quickly grabbed each other in a seemingly magical way. Zhao Huan didn't know how they did it. In just eight or nine seconds by modern timekeeping standards, one of them was thrown to the ground.
Another round of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd, and the victor roared in the center of the arena, proclaiming his strength.
A strong-looking man took off his shirt and came up shirtless, and the cheers around him only increased.
Zhao Huan watched with great interest. He saw one person fall off the field and another quickly take their place, and so on. Dozens of people went on and off the field in succession, and the strong man actually defeated dozens of people!
Everyone became powerless in his presence.
"This man is valiant!" Zhao Huan praised Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and others.
Who is this person?
Yue Fei replied, "Your Majesty, this man is Yang Zaixing, a general under my command!"
Zhao Huan was shocked. "Damn, no wonder he was so fierce. It turns out he was Yang Zaixing, this formidable man. It seems that history really did go astray because of my arrival. At this moment, Yue Fei had already met Yang Zaixing!"
"This man will surely become a great general in the future!"
"Your Majesty flatters me!"
Just then, the war drums sounded, and the soldiers who had been cheering around the open space seemed to be a pack of wolves being summoned by their king. They quickly assembled and soon lined up neatly in the center of the open space.
Zhao Huan stood on a small slope. Looking out, he saw rows of neat, square tofu blocks arranged on the vast plain. The distance between each soldier was exactly the same, and each one stood tall and looked straight ahead.
Zhao Huan could feel the vitality emanating from this army, and he was very satisfied.
At this moment, the sound of war drums changed again, and a group of infantrymen dressed in heavy armor appeared on the hillside where the sun was already setting. Each soldier was dressed in heavy armor, holding a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, with crossbows on his arms.
ha!
Suddenly, the entire unit roared, their loud voices resounding and their momentum overwhelming.
In his previous life, Zhao Huan had seen keyboard warriors say that Song Dynasty infantrymen wore heavy armor, and that well-trained infantrymen carried 45 kilograms of equipment. It seems that some of the keyboard warriors' basic knowledge was correct.
Zhao Huan continued to observe, and saw that the troops suddenly began to march down the hillside. Their speed was not fast, but the steps of each person were surprisingly synchronized, and even the height they lifted and the timing of when they put them down were the same.
Bang bang bang...
The ground shook as if struck by thunder with their footsteps, and the ground within a radius of several miles trembled slightly.
Zhao Huan was overjoyed. In just over a month, the new army had already achieved such a remarkable level of discipline! It seemed that Zong Ze had put in a tremendous amount of effort in training the army!
Their momentum was much stronger than when they fought Wanyan Zonghan in Hedong. They charged down the hillside like a torrent of tanks!
Zhao Huan mounted his horse and, accompanied by Zong Ze and others, began to inspect the army.
Before long, a deafening roar echoed across the open field: "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Song Dynasty!"
Hearing that voice again, Zhao Huan felt his blood surge. It was this feeling, and only this feeling could make him feel safe!
After inspecting the army, Zhao Huan made up his mind: "Damn those scholar-officials, if they try to play tricks on me again, saying one thing in public and another in private, I will lead my new army to wipe them out."
As long as the borders remain peaceful, I am not afraid to change the world under the sky of the Great Song Dynasty!
Night fell quickly, and Zong Ze and the others accompanied the emperor in drinking in the military camp. After a few cups of wine, the emperor seemed a little drunk and pointed at Wang Gui, saying, "Are you Wang Gui?"
Wang Gui was somewhat flattered, not expecting that the emperor would know his name. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "This humble general, Wang Gui, greets Your Majesty!"
Zhao Huan rushed over and grabbed his hand: "I heard that you were very brave in killing the Jin invaders. It is a blessing for our Song Dynasty to have a general like you!"
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty! This humble general is willing to be shattered to pieces for Your Majesty!"
Zhao Huan, holding Wang Gui's hand, pointed at Zhang Xian and said, "And you, Zhang Xian, I remember you too, my warrior!"
Zhang Xian also quickly bowed, but Zhao Huan stopped him, saying, "It's so good that the Song Dynasty has you all!"
The two men were moved to tears. Zhao Huan patted them on the shoulder, then went to Han Shizhong's table and laughed loudly, "Marquis of Valor! My Marquis of Valor! I have missed you dearly for a month!"
Han Shizhong quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
The atmosphere inside the military tent was incredibly lively. The emperor put one arm around Han Shizhong's shoulder and said, "It is my blessing to have you!"
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Han Shizhong was so moved that his eyes immediately reddened: "It is the result of my three lifetimes of good deeds that I have been able to meet Your Majesty in this life!"
"Lord Valiant, a man does not easily shed tears!"
"Your Majesty, I cannot control myself!"
"We will have plenty of opportunities to fight together in the future!"
After speaking with Han Shizhong, he turned to Huyan Tong, who was standing next to Han Shizhong, and said, "Huyan Tong, I know you too!"
"I am deeply grateful for the Emperor's concern!"
