The Jinyiwei recruited personnel at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, a training ground began to be built in the eastern suburbs. Naturally, the venue was built by 200 elite soldiers from Taoyuan County and some workers from the eastern suburbs.
In addition to the basic square and archery range, there are also obstacle equipment, cross piles, trenches, high and low walls, single-plank bridges, low-pile nets, climbing frames...
It basically completely imitates some of the equipment that should be used in the army of later generations.
Of course, these have been established in Taoyuan County a long time ago.
As for the dormitories, they were hastily built cabins with ten people in a room, with bunk beds.
At this moment, all the personnel recruited by the Jinyiwei have been brought to the East Suburb Training Ground and divided into two distinct groups.
Some of them were recruited from the military to protect the safety of the palace, while the other part were naturally civilians.
The sun was a bit dazzling. Li Yuanzhao looked around the playground with his hands on his awning, wondering, "Lao Fang, what kind of mess did you make? Why does it look so weird?"
"Your Highness, these are the equipment that my men prepared for training."
"Training? Tsk, Zhang Biao is good at helping people strengthen their bodies, but I think he is still far from being able to train real soldiers. Fancy things are useless." Li Yuanzhao laughed, "Although I have never been involved in the battlefield, I have been studying military training since I was a child."
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Your Highness, this is not just talk. Don't come and peek at my training. The dormitories have been allocated."
"Hehe, just wait for me to slap you in the face!" Li Yuanzhao sneered and then looked at the Jinyiwei on the field.
Suddenly his eyes fixed: "Huh? Isn't this the pretty boy who was eliminated from the previous interview? Why did you recruit him back?"
Fang Zhengyi followed his gaze and explained, "Your Highness, this man's name is Meng Puyu. The Jinyiwei has just been established, and I need to speed up the image building. He is expected to be the spokesperson for the Jinyiwei in the future."
"Why, is there anything special about him besides his good looks?"
"Besides being handsome, he is also a scumbag." Fang Zheng said with a smile.
Li Yuanzhao suddenly became serious, looked at Fang Zheng and said sternly: "Old Fang! I don't care what you want to do, but this is not a joke. You chose a scumbag who lost the election. Is this fair to others?"
"Fair?" Fang Zhengyi sneered: "Your Highness, look at the people around him, they are all much uglier than him. Do you think this world is fair?"
"Some people are born with a gold brick in their arms. Now that I have found this gold brick, I will naturally make good use of it."
"This person is very useful. After he joins the Jinyiwei, he will no longer be qualified to be a scumbag. He needs to perform in front of the people and help the court and Jinyiwei establish their image."
"Look at the stable. I've prepared a great white horse for him. I'll let him perform on the street."
Li Yuanzhao wanted to refute, but when he thought about how he was born with a golden brick in his arms, he changed his words and said, "I still think it's unfair to others. You can obviously choose someone with both moral integrity and talent. Is good looks so important?"
"It's important. It's very important. This is all scientifically researched. Good-looking men can not only attract the opposite sex, but also reduce the aggression of the same sex. Women will increase the aggression of the same sex. I consider the problem from the perspective of efficiency. This is all scientific."
"Science...what kind of nonsense are you guys in Taoyuan County researching?" Li Yuanzhao was speechless.
"Your Highness, sometimes you should change your way of thinking. A scholar passes the imperial examination from a young age and becomes a juren, and finally becomes an official in the imperial court. Each step seems very natural."
"But this is how ordinary people think about problems. They always believe that there is a way to success that can be replicated, and they can reach the pinnacle of life step by step. But in fact, this is mental laziness. The real world doesn't work like this. Sometimes you can reach heaven in one step if you catch the right time or do the right thing, but you can fall into hell in one step if you do the opposite. Life is always full of ups and downs."
"This is Meng Puyu's luck, but... he may not be able to bear it. Your Highness actually has a point. Fairness is very important. Although there is not much fairness in this world, we still have to create some fairness if we have the ability."
Li Yuanzhao didn't say much, just nodded slowly and then examined the Jinyiwei on the field.
Not far behind Fang Zheng, there were three people standing.
Zhou Tie, Zhang Biao, Lian Gui.
The three of them were specially sent to train the newcomers.
Zhou Tie crossed his arms and hid behind Zhang Biao intentionally or unintentionally. Although he was already a native of Taoyuan, he couldn't help but hide his identity as Prince Li Yuanzhao.
Lian Gui kept his eyes on Meng Puyu and said, "You said the master asked me to take care of that pretty boy. Tie brother, what does the master mean?"
Zhou Tie shook his head and said, "I don't know. I guess the master is trying something new..."
Zhang Biao crossed his arms and looked at Meng Puyu: "Young Master said that we should train him to be in Zhou Tie's size in two months."
"Impossible! It will take at least two and a half years to train like me." Zhou Tie rolled up his sleeves, his strong biceps bulging high.
Li Yuanzhao was whispering to Fang Zhengyi about his military training plans and experiences. Fang Zhengyi just listened quietly and nodded from time to time.
As the sun grew brighter, the Jinyiwei on the parade ground began to become restless.
A disappointing situation began to gradually emerge. The Jinyiwei, who were supposed to have better qualities coming from the military, actually began to whisper to each other.
These people were not aware that the prince was present in person, and most of them were not even aware of Fang Zhengyi's identity.
On the other hand, the good citizens selected from the people were cautious because of the unfamiliar atmosphere, and they still maintained basic order, not moving or speaking.
Li Yuanzhao's face gradually turned ugly, but Fang Zhengyi was not surprised. The Ministry of War must have issued an order to select people for him.
No one is willing to let go of the elite soldiers in the various Beijing camps, and most of the ones they can give to themselves are not good stuff.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were a group of soldier ruffians, and such performance was expected.
Seeing that no one was watching, the soldiers became bolder, and some even started to stare at Meng Puyu and tease him.
Li Yuanzhao's face became more gloomy, and he said to Liu Jin who was accompanying him: "Get a bow and arrow."
The bow and arrow were taken, Li Yuanzhao calmed down, drew the bow and aimed at one of them.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot out like lightning, leaving a long gash on the face of the loudest soldier who was in the lead!
Blood dripped down his cheek. Although the injury was not serious, it was quite tragic.
A wailing sound instantly spread throughout the sky above the training ground, and everyone fell silent.
Zhou Tie was alerted and praised, "What a great archery skill! Without several years of hard training, you can never achieve such skill. It is true that a tiger father will have a dog son."
Fang Zhengyi was also a little surprised. He turned to look at Li Yuanzhao. He didn't expect that he could have such a skill.
I saw that he, who had a serious face just now, was grinning with two rows of white teeth showing, smiling at me smugly.
Fang Zhengyi gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness, awesome!"
