Chapter 22

In the previous life, Emperor Hongwu rose to power with his 500 elite soldiers, eventually forming an unparalleled iron cavalry that swept across the eight directions.

Qin Feng's affection for the elite soldiers was self-evident, so in this life, he first formed the elite soldiers.

However, a problem arose when starting from scratch. In the previous life, there was Gao Shun, a genius at training troops, but in this life, General Gao of Qin Feng was still unknown.

Now, Qin Feng had only the Dragon Guards by his side, who were the best in the world for charging into battle, slaying enemies, and protecting him. But even these mighty warriors had their regrets, as they were not skilled at training troops.

What to do? Time was of the essence, so Qin Feng had to take matters into his own hands.

Fortunately, Qin Feng had lived three lives. In his modern life, he learned modern military training methods. In his life as Emperor Hongwu, he was well-versed in ancient training techniques.

In this life, Qin Feng summarized that due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, using ancient training methods would not quickly produce elite soldiers. Fortunately, Qin Feng had the experience of the future and knew modern training methods.

Thus, he gathered Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and twenty Dragon Guards, "Do this and that... We will practice formations and marching."

Formations were easy to understand, but what was marching? When Dian Wei and the others heard this, several birds circled and sang above their heads.

Seeing the confused crowd, Qin Feng had no choice but to demonstrate.

So, Qin Feng had 500 soldiers form a circle, sitting cross-legged as in the future. In the center, Qin Feng was the new recruit instructor, with Dian Wei and the Dragon Guards standing in line.

"Arrange yourselves by height."

Following Qin Feng's order, Xu Chu led the line, followed by Dian Wei, and so on. Qin Feng walked up and patted Xu Chu's belly, "Chest out, stomach in, stomach in..."

Xu Chu tried his best to pull in his stomach, but his massive waist was as thick as a tree, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it in.

As Xu Chu felt ashamed and embarrassed, sweating profusely, Qin Feng issued a special decree, "You have a special body type, so it's fine."

Xu Chu was moved to tears and quickly said, "Lord, I'll eat fewer pancakes and lose some weight!"

Qin Feng hurriedly stopped him, "No need, no need. If you lose weight, you won't be Xu Chu anymore."

Xu Chu was deeply moved by his lord's concern and thought, "He who understands me is my lord."

Then, Qin Feng personally demonstrated what it meant to stand at ease and attention, followed by the three turns and the key points of marching.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei, with their martial skills, learned quickly and soon had a semblance of form.

"Stand at ease, attention~. Turn left~. Turn right~. Turn back~!"

Peng~

Xu Chu's belly collided with Dian Wei's body. If it were anyone else, they would have been knocked away. But with Dian Wei, both of them flew away.

"Ha ha ha ha..." The onlookers burst into laughter. Someone said, "I've been a soldier for a few years, and I've never seen such training."

"Perhaps they don't know how to train and are just doing it blindly?"

Xu Chu and Dian Wei blushed, and the soldiers hung their heads in shame.

"Is Lord's method effective?"

"It looks silly!"

"How embarrassing!"

Qin Feng was furious and scolded them, "More sweat in peacetime means less blood in war. This is an ancient, secret training method. As long as you train well, you will all become elite soldiers. Because it's a secret method, it's not understood by the world. But as long as you train seriously and master it, you will be recognized! Do you understand?" he roared at the end.

The soldiers' morale was ignited, and they all shouted with red faces, "Understood!"

"This is more like it, you look like soldiers now."

The soldiers, feeling the lord's praise, were warmed in their hearts and no longer cared about others' opinions, putting all their effort into training.

The onlookers whispered, "This general speaks so well!"

"Originally, it's an ancient training method, no wonder it's different."

"I wonder what this general's name is?"

"Seems to be Qin Feng, Qin Zijin."

Qin Feng continued training, and after Dian Wei and the Dragon Guards became familiar, they dispersed, each leading twenty new recruits to train separately.

For a time, the entire field was filled with intense training.

"Stand at ease, attention~. Turn left~!"

"Damn, can't you tell left from right? You're facing each other, do you know?"

In the afternoon, Qin Feng began teaching the quick march, the run, and the goose step. The number of onlookers increased, with at least a thousand people. Whether passersby or residents, they all came to watch, quickly exceeding three thousand. The buzz of discussion rose to the sky, all debating whether this training method was effective.

Qin Feng suddenly realized that the discussion was too loud, and his soldiers had stopped. He slapped his forehead, "I forgot about 1234."

"1 should land on the left foot, 2 on the right foot. If your steps are wrong, correct them immediately. Follow me, 121, 121, 1~2~3~4~!"

"1~2~3~4~!"

"Damn, did you not eat? Did you feed the stewed meat to the dogs? Louder!"

"1! 2! 3! 4!" The soldiers shouted with all their might, led by Dian Wei and Xu Chu. The momentum was overwhelming, and the sound waves made the onlookers step back, covering their ears.

The soldiers' morale soared.

The onlookers were amazed by Qin Feng's training, but even more so by the fact that he fed the soldiers meat.

"Wow, they actually get meat!"

"I've never had meat in my life!"

"Are they still recruiting?"

Qin Feng continued training, guiding the soldiers in the goose step.

"121, 121! You're like a gymnast! Stop showing off your poor flexibility. Your feet are almost touching your chest. What about the key points I told you?" Qin Feng scolded each group, "Your steps must be整齐, your bodies must be aligned. From the side, you should look like one person. This way, when you form an array in battle, you will be整齐 and have the upper hand."

"121, 1~2~3~4"

"Dian Wei, point your toes."

"Ah, yes!"

121, slap, slap, slap, slap, the goose step was practiced with great enthusiasm.

If it were just anyone, it would be fine, but seeing Xu Chu and Dian Wei, such mighty warriors, perform the goose step was truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight.

Three days later.

On the training ground of the Zhen family estate, thunderous applause erupted from thousands of onlookers, all in admiration of the elite soldiers.

"So neat, they really look like one person!"

"I've never seen such a well-organized army!"

"Such a team in battle would be ten to one!"

"This training method is too strong, it's truly an ancient, secret method!"

"How did General Qin Zijin know this?"

"He must be from a great family, seeing the chaos in the world, he came out to save the people, just like the Ghost Valley in the Spring and Autumn period. That's why he has the slogan of protecting the country."

"You're right. With such a general and such an army, we don't have to fear the Yellow Turbans."

The reason the onlookers came every day was that seeing Qin Feng and his men gave them a sense of security, and they couldn't help but come to watch whenever they had free time.

The elite soldiers, from being mocked by the onlookers to being praised, had undergone a qualitative transformation, and their training morale was high.

Qin Feng guided the training of formations and drills. As for explaining riding and combat, Dian Wei and Xu Chu had no problem.

Therefore, with the intense training, the combat capability of the elite soldiers rapidly increased, and they initially possessed the qualities of an elite force.
