Chapter 18 A Monk Desiring to Train in Martial Arts Gets Trapped in the Camp

Mo Fei's words.

The monks were all deeply moved after hearing this.

Although they grew up in Shaolin Temple and ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day, they actually spent most of their time practicing martial arts.

People who practice martial arts naturally have abundant qi and blood.

Having honed their martial arts skills over the years, they naturally hope to have a platform to showcase them.

However, in Shaolin, Buddhism emphasizes tranquility and non-action, and prohibits anger and killing.

They would be punished if they were even slightly competitive, so where would they find an opportunity to show their skills?

If Mo Fei hadn't appeared, their fate would most likely have been to spend their entire lives in the Shaolin Temple until they died of old age.

The martial arts skills he learned would never be put to use in his lifetime.

But now it's different with Mo Fei. Since Mo Fei has allowed them to form their own army, he obviously has high hopes for them. As long as they perform well on the battlefield, their future prospects are bound to be bright.

Therefore, the eyes of the monks began to light up with excitement.

Seeing the monks' state and feeling the enthusiasm in everyone's eyes, perhaps he was secretly delighted.

This was the effect he wanted. His soldiers couldn't possibly be a group of monks who chanted Amitabha Buddha all day long and had no desires.

What he needs is a pack of wolves and tigers who dream of achieving great things and securing a good future for their wives and children.

In the future, we will remove obstacles and clear away thorns for him.

……

"Order the army to march back to camp!"

As Mo Fei issued his order, all the commanders of the various swords began to gather their soldiers and line them up in neat rows to return to their camps.

Mo Fei turned to the monks following behind the army and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow disciples, you have just joined the army and have not yet undergone systematic military formation training. Remember to observe carefully along the way, watch more and speak less, and feel the military might of an army of over ten thousand."

……

As the army began its march, the orderly movement of over ten thousand men sent stones flying and dust billowing across the yellow earth beneath their feet, resembling a dragon turning over in the distance.

The monks following behind the procession looked at the steel army marching in perfect order without making a sound, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

……

Because the two places were not far apart, the army returned to the outskirts of Los Angeles that evening.

The residents of Los Angeles were naturally aware of the troop movement involving over 10,000 men.

At this time, many residents of Luocheng who love excitement gathered outside the city, and they all came to the Luocheng military camp to welcome the army back to camp.

Some residents would greet Mofei, who was riding a black horse ahead, in a friendly manner.

Mo Fei was also very enthusiastic; every time someone greeted him, he would return the greeting with a smile and a cupped hand.

This made the residents of Los Angeles even more fond of their kind commander. Since the last tax exemption incident, the residents of Los Angeles had truly felt the changes in the garrison outside the city.

In the past, when Eunuch Liu was in power, soldiers would often harass merchants in Luocheng, riding horses through the streets, committing all sorts of heinous acts.

However, since Mo Fei took office, these kinds of things have rarely been repeated under his strict orders.

The environment in Los Angeles has now greatly improved, and the people naturally know who did it.

Today, every resident of Los Angeles is filled with gratitude towards Mof.

The tax reduction policy announced by Mo Fei is practically unique to China these days.

At this time in the late Song Dynasty, the exorbitant taxes and levies were extremely severe.

Years of war had depleted the Song Dynasty's resources. With no money left, the Southern Song court could only resort to increasingly excessive exploitation of the people.

If we win, that's fine, but the problem is that we're almost always the losers.

The Jin Dynasty in the north and the Northern Mongols beyond the Great Wall were both more powerful than the other.

As for the Southern Song Dynasty, it not only lost cities and fortresses time and time again, but also continued to appoint civil officials to command the army, resulting in generals not knowing their soldiers and soldiers not knowing their generals. What kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have?

Take Luocheng for example, the highest military rank there is none other than Liu Gonggong, the garrison eunuch.

This shows that the Song Dynasty was now corrupt to the core and was completely beyond redemption.

Upon returning to the camp, Mo Fei first summoned the various commanders and ordered them to intensify troop training.

Then, I made a special trip to visit the barracks where the monk soldiers lived.

Could it be that Xue Gang had been sent beforehand to command and take charge of these two hundred monk soldiers? Xue Gang was steady and reliable, and he always completed tasks assigned by Mo Fei efficiently and perfectly.

During his time at Shaolin, Xue Gang also managed the affairs of the camp very well.

The fact that the residents of Los Angeles came out of the city to welcome him after he was tasked with rectifying the bad habits in the army shows that he did an excellent job.

This made Mo Fei rely on this brave and resourceful subordinate even more.

The intention of the monk soldiers was perhaps to mold these two hundred monk soldiers into an all-around elite force like the Trapped Camp of the Three Kingdoms.

Each of them was equipped with a steel shield, a long sword, a short spear, and a crossbow. This enabled them to combine offense, defense, and ranged attacks, ultimately complementing the superior martial arts skills of the monks.

Once trained into an army, they will surely become a sharp blade on the battlefield, capable of capturing enemy generals and seizing enemy flags.

After sharing his thoughts with Xue Gang, Mo Fei also summarized some feasible methods from his previous life regarding troop training and gave them to Xue Gang for reference.

Xue Gang also saw how much Mo Fei valued this team. After hearing Mo Fei's ideas, he suddenly understood and confidently assured Mo Fei that he would definitely be able to train a strong army.
