Chapter 10 The Great Song Dynasty (1)

"Oh..." Zhao Dongting nodded slowly, "Then let's wait here!"

He showed that there was nothing, but he couldn't stop sighing in his heart.

The Southern Song Dynasty court was really at the moment when the building was about to collapse. I remember that the Song Dynasty was still known as the Imperial Guard in Water Margin, but now, the personal guards are so scarce that they don’t even have enough time to practice.

If a soldier does not practice, even if his martial arts are strong, what kind of combat effectiveness can he have?

Zhao Dongting could hardly imagine how low the combat effectiveness of the Southern Song Dynasty's military would be.

If the guards are like this, I am afraid that the Palace Front Office will not be much better, right?

The two are collectively called the Imperial Guard, but they are the most elite and combat-effective army in the imperial court.

A few minutes later, Zhao Dongting asked again: "How many soldiers are there in the personal guards and the Palace Front Office?"

Li Yuanxiu replied: "This... I don't know."

Zhao Dongting stopped talking.

The sun rises slowly, and the wind blows the military flag, making a whirring sound.

It took dozens of minutes before the guards wearing armor and red tassels came to gather.

They all have goose feathered swords hanging on their waists and holding simple wooden guns. They look majestic, but they have lazy and sluggish faces, and some are yawning.

Zhao Dongting sighed in his heart, "The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty fled and lingered here, and it was indeed a disintegration of morale."

These guards have no morale at all. If they fight on the battlefield, they will not be able to escape?

At that time, I am afraid I will run faster than my emperor.

Li Yuanxiu shouted with anger: "The emperor is here, and you can't come here to pay a visit!"

However, these guards still walked slowly to Zhao Dongting, knelt down on one knee and called the emperor, feeling weak.

Zhao Dongting did not scold them, but said lightly: "You guys line up first."

The guards then went over and stood lazily again.

They hadn't practiced for a long time. When they learned that the little emperor was going to review, they just played the little emperor and were just playing tricks.

Although Zhao Dongting was an emperor, he was too young and had no prestige in the court, let alone in the army.

It was already very good that these guards could follow the court to Chengzhou without escaping halfway.

After waiting for dozens of minutes, hundreds of people gathered in the school.

Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong finally came slowly.

Seeing the arrival of the two of them, the expressions of these guards' personal soldiers finally became more serious, but they still didn't look much more energetic.

And these two men, as if they were ignorant, walked straight to Zhao Dongting to salute, "Emperor."

Zhao Dongting didn't ask them to come up and asked lightly: "Mr. Su, Lord. Yang, why do I think the soldiers seem to be inactive?"

Su Liuyi glanced at Yang Yidong.

Yang Yidong replied: "Sir, the guards guard the forbidden palace day and night, and have no time to rest. Please forgive me."

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "My Song Dynasty is in danger, and the soldiers are unable to practice all day long. What's the use of the Forbidden Palace for good care?"

When he said this, Su Liuyi and Yang Yidong changed their qualities.

They naturally could hear that Zhao Dongting was blaming them for being incompetent in the military.

Zhao Dongting didn't give them a chance to argue, and then asked: "How many soldiers are there in the guards' personal army now?"

Su Liuyi replied: "There are more than 600 guards and more than 400 guards and horses."

"Why haven't I seen where the Ma Army is?"

"The horse army is waiting for the emperor to review at the horse military academy!"

"good."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then Lord Yang began to practice and let me see the majesty of our Song Dynasty's personal army."

"yes!"

Yang Yidong stood up with his fists.

I have to say that he did have a good skin, and he was wearing armor, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, so he should have the word "majestic" in his name.

He suddenly pulled his sword out of his waist and shouted: "Line up and practice!"

The guards and infantry present slowly dispersed and began to practice.

It's just that the movements are messy and it looks really messy.

Some guards were lazy, more like embroidered by big girls.

Su Liuyi couldn't help but show some guilt on his face.

Zhao Dongting looked at it and just chuckled in his heart, "Yang Yidong wants me to retreat because of the difficulties, and I don't want to hand over power..." Seeing that the guards were so lazy, Yang Yidong didn't scold him or say anything motivated. Isn't he accusing them of doing this?

Zhao Dongting didn't say anything. When the soldiers were practicing, they watched quietly under the military flag.

It was not until the practice that he slowly paced in front of the military formation and said, "I think my personal army is the elite among my soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and he is a hero who is one of them. Now it seems that this is the case.

Although I don’t know martial arts, I can see that your moves are physically and powerless, and are just playing them for me.

In the past, Lord Yang trained you in Lin'an City?"

Yang Yidong's face looked a little ugly.

Zhao Dongting ignored him and continued, "I'd better see you doing it."

His words were really unpleasant. Even if he was the emperor, some guards still showed anger on their faces.

Zhao Dongting glanced at the guards without any trace, and he knew it secretly.

Those who are still indifferent to this day are probably veterans, while those who are not convinced should still have some blood.

Zhao Dongting never thought of taking over the guards' personal army, because it would be better not to have some things if you want them.

What's more, we can't really let Yang Yidong, the chief officer of the guards and infantry, be a bare commander.

Concubine Yang would never indulge herself in doing this.

"how?

It seems that someone is not convinced?"

Zhao Dongting walked back and forth twice in front of the formation, with a chuckling on his lips, "Since you are not convinced, let me show you your true abilities."

He was not afraid of these servants, but he was afraid that they would not even get angry.

A person without backbone will definitely not be a qualified warrior.

"You are all elites in my Song army, and the best selected from each army. I can follow me here when my Song Dynasty is in a turbulent manner. I also believe that you are definitely loyal people.

However, when I was forced by the Yuan thief to this point, I need not only your loyalty, but also warriors who can fight well! You, are my warriors of the Song Dynasty?"

At the end of the conversation, Zhao Dongting's voice suddenly rose.

After hearing this, a guard's eyes gradually shone brightly in his eyes and shouted: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

But some are still weak and do not take Zhao Dongting's words seriously.

Zhao Dongting carefully remembered these veterans in his heart. When the guards stopped shouting, he shook his head and said, "No, you are not.
