Immediately, Lin Nan inquired about the situation at Xu Shu's family again, and discussed the art of war with Xu Shu.

As the two were talking, they saw Zhao Wei barging in in a military uniform.

Seeing Zhao Wei's heroic appearance, Lin Nan praised: "The little sister is really a heroine among women, and she really has the style of a general." ”

Hearing Lin Nan's praise, Zhao Wei came to Lin Nan and said happily: "Big brother is not joking? Do I really have the style of a general? ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Of course. ”

Immediately, Zhao Wei shook Lin Nan's arm and said pleadingly: "Since the eldest brother has said so, then the eldest brother will approve me to form a female soldier." ”

Lin Nandao: "It's not that female soldiers can't be formed, the key is that this combat effectiveness is really hard to say, and it's not child's play to form an army, so let me discuss it with a few adults again." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Zhao Wei said with a bitter face: "Then when will I wait?" Last year, you said that you would discuss it with a few adults, but as a result, you have been discussing it for a year, and there is no result, so you have to agree if you agree today, and you have to agree if you don't agree. ”

Immediately, Zhao Wei leaned in Lin Nan's ear and said: "Big brother, if you don't agree, I will go to sleep with my sister-in-law every night in the future, or I will go to sleep with Sister Da Qiao, so that you can't sleep alone." ”

Hearing Zhao Wei say this, Lin Nan said with a smile: "Little sister, you won't be so cruel." ”

Zhao Wei snorted, glared and said, "If you don't agree, I'll make you live in peace for a day." ”

Seeing that Lin Nan still had no reaction, Zhao Wei said again: "Although the society is safe, it will be dangerous to forget the battle." Therefore, the matter of the army. It's a top priority, that's what you said. And many young women in Jinyang. is also with a passion to serve the country, how can he shrink his good youth in the embroidery room? ”

Lin Nan smiled: "You have learned these two sentences." ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhao Wei said solemnly: "Big brother, I am serious today, and you must give me an explanation today, if you can't give me an explanation today, then I guess you may not be able to leave your Hou Ye's Mansion today." ”

Hearing that Zhao Wei had something to say, Lin Nan asked, "Why did the little sister say that?" ”

Zhao Wei smiled proudly. said:"※≯dǐng※≯diǎn※≯小※≯Say,.←.o◆s_(); You can go out and have a look. ”

Seeing Zhao Wei smiling treacherously, Lin Nan led Xu Shu out.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Lin Nan saw many young women standing outside the door, all in short clothes and holding wooden sticks, standing in a neat formation.

As soon as these people saw Lin Nan, they shouted together: "Who said that women are inferior to men? Women also put the military staff! Who says women are inferior to men? Women also put the military staff! The voice was neat and loud, echoing endlessly in front of the door of the Hou Mansion.

Lin Nan knew that this must be Zhao Wei's ghost.

Helpless. Lin Nan had no choice but to say: "Nan understands everyone's patriotic enthusiasm. However, joining the army as a soldier is not child's play, it requires bloodshed and sacrifice. It's a matter of giving your life. In order to make these women retreat, Lin Nan deliberately said it was an exaggeration.

Then, Lin Nan said: "And." When you go to the battlefield, you are in danger. Disability and death are commonplace, aren't you afraid? ”

Lin Nan finished speaking. As soon as I saw that these women stopped talking, I was secretly proud in my heart: Xiao'er, I'm afraid. , let's go home and embroider.

After a while, suddenly a woman shouted, "We are not afraid, we will go into battle with our husbands!" ”

There was a leader, and one after another shouted: "We are not afraid!" We are not afraid! ”

At last, the men shouted in unison, "We are not afraid!" We are not afraid! ”

Seeing that these people were so righteous and awe-inspiring, Lin Nan was depressed, and he really didn't know what to do for a while.

Helpless, Lin Nan had no choice but to say: "Okay, since you are not afraid, then let's go to the school now, conduct the most basic drills first, and see if you are qualified to be a soldier." How is it? ”

"No!" The hundreds of women replied in unison.

And Zhao Wei also smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother." As he spoke, he shouted the command and led these people straight to the school grounds.

Listening to Zhao Wei's crisp voice and looking at the neat steps of these people, Lin Nan suddenly felt that he had made a big mistake. Because he suddenly found that Zhao Wei came prepared, but he was caught off guard.

and Xu Shu came to the school field in the military camp outside the city, and on the main stage, Lin Nan said to Zhao Wei: "Little sister, you practice a little, let my brother open his eyes." ”

"No!" Zhao Wei agreed, and Pegasus came to the front of the formation.

As soon as they saw that there were suddenly many more women preparing for drills on the school ground, the soldiers in the barracks were very curious and came to watch.

As soon as the spear was raised, Zhao Wei said: "The first item, drill queue." First, practice turning on the spot. ”

So, Zhao Wei began to "stand upright", "take a break", "turn left" and "turn right" non-stop orders, and the movements of those women were very smooth and natural, neat and uniform, but there was no murderous aura.

After the exercise, Zhao Wei said again: "Now stop and move forward between the exercises. ”

After another "one-two-one" drill, the formation is still very neat.

Then, Zhao Wei said again: "The second item is to practice the formation." ”

The Fish Li Array, the Xuanhuang Array, the Hook Array, the Cone Array, the Sharp Arrow Array and the Fish Scale Array, the six formations are changed in turn, which is even more beautiful and exquisite.

In the end, Zhao Wei ordered again: "The last item is to practice the art of war." ”

As soon as he heard Zhao Wei say that he wanted to practice the art of war, Lin Nan was very curious, so he watched it intently. And Xu Shu was also very surprised, because it was the first time he had seen a woman training soldiers. Of course, Lin Nan also saw it for the first time.

I saw Zhao Wei come to the rostrum, salute Lin Nan and said: "Brother Qiyu, there are no bows and arrows, no military horses, so we can only practice the art of infantry - forge ahead and strangle." ”

Lin Nan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "You can practice." ”

So, Zhao Wei came to the front of the formation again and ordered: "Practice and forge ahead, prepare for each platoon, and pay attention to maintaining the formation." ”

"Spear, step forward, step by step!" As soon as he heard Zhao Wei's password, Lin Nan's heart moved.

"First row. Endeavor! Second row, third row. Get ready! As soon as they heard such an order, the soldiers in the barracks were also a little surprised. They were all stunned for a moment.

"Forge ahead! Phew-hi! The woman's unique, crisp and neat shout appeared for the first time on the school field of the Jinyang military camp.

"Forge ahead! Phew-hi! Such a shout once again shook Lin Nan's chest, and at the same time shook the hearts of all the men present.

Lin Nan looked at it for a while, then turned to Xu Shu and said, "What does Yuan Zhi think?" ”

Xu Shu sighed and said, "If a woman is like this, the soldier will be invincible." ”

Zhao Wei practiced another strangulation, and after the team stood still. Then he came to the rostrum, saluted Lin Nan and said, "Brother Qiqi, after the drill, please instruct!" ”

Lin Nan returned the salute and said: "More than beautiful, not enough mighty, continue to work hard." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Zhao Wei suddenly felt a sense of loss, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to form a female soldier

Seeing Zhao Wei's gloomy expression, Lin Nan asked, "Little sister." How long have you been practicing? ”

Zhao Wei thought for a while and said, "It should be three months." ”

Hearing Zhao Wei say this, Lin Nan couldn't help but be surprised: Three months? These female soldiers have been training for three months? No armor, no weapons. Without drums and flags, they actually practiced for three months?

Thinking of this, Lin Nan asked again, "Little sister." Do you know the trumpets, drums, and flags of the army? ”

Zhao Wei shook his head. sighed and said, "These are all secrets in the army, how can I know." ”

There are no horns. Without drums and flags, they were able to practice so much in just three months. So how much sweat did they put in?

Thinking of this, Lin Nan couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

So, after a pause, Lin Nan said loudly: "Zhao Wei listens to the order!" ”

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly sat down on the horse and said, "Please instruct the eldest brother!" ”

"Ben Hou ordered you to be the commander of the female soldiers of the state, and immediately set about the formation of the female soldiers of the state, there must be no mistake!"

"No!" After Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhao Wei hurriedly saluted and said.

And accidentally, two crystal tears slipped from the corners of Zhao Wei's eyes.

Immediately, Lin Nan said again: "Little sister, you don't know the orders in the army, so how about letting Yuan Zhizhu help you first?" ”

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say that he actually let himself train female soldiers, Xu Shu felt depressed for a while: Practicing these women, this is not what a man should do?

As soon as he heard Lin Nan say this, Zhao Wei asked strangely, "Who is Yuan Zhi?" ”

Lin Nan pointed at Xu Shu and said, "He is Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi, the new general of staff in Bingzhou." ”

Zhao Wei glanced at Xu Shu and said, "He's new here, isn't he going to learn and teach at the same time?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Wei doubted his ability, Xu Shu secretly rejoiced in his heart: It's best not to use yourself.

But Lin Nan said with a smile: "The three major military divisions of Bingzhou all have unpredictable skills, if you can invite them, you can invite them." ”

Zhao Wei thought about it and shook his head.

Lin Nan said again: "There are also Guo Fengxiao and Chen Yuanlong, if you are at ease with the two of them, then you can use the two of them." ”

Zhao Wei thought about it, then shook his head again.

Lin Nan finally said: "There is only one Xu Yuanzhi, whether you use it or not, you can do it yourself." ”

Zhao Wei sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way." ”

After listening to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters in Lin Nan, Xu Shu felt depressed again.

So, Xu Shu hurriedly said to Lin Nanshi: "Lord, Shu is new here, and he doesn't understand the affairs of the army yet, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of inappropriateness in this arrangement." ”

Lin Nandao: "Yuan Zhi rest assured, it's not for you to train female soldiers forever, it's just a few days." Moreover, my sister doesn't understand things in the army, so you can go to the military academy to study together. ”

Seeing that Xu Shu was still puzzled, Lin Nan smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi, there is an unwritten rule in the Bingzhou army: whoever has the ability to listen to whom." You first weigh whether you can beat my sister. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, Zhao Wei pointed his spear at Xu Shu and said, "If you don't accept it, you can end up fighting for 300 rounds!" ”

Looking at the cold light emitted by the spear in Zhao Wei's hand, Xu Shu stayed on the spot, not knowing what to say.

And in the face of brothers and sisters like Lin Nan and Zhao Wei, what else can Xu Shu say?

Afterwards, when Guo Jia and Chen Deng heard that Xu Shu was going to train female soldiers, they were both very happy and snickered, but Xu Shu was even more depressed.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest of this year has arrived again.

While busy with the autumn harvest. At the same time, Lin Nan also ordered the counties and counties of Bingzhou and Qingzhou to still vigorously reserve grain, and there was a lesson this year. Officials of all sizes in the two states began to stock up on grain in a frenzy. And, according to the report of the spies. On the Taihang Mountain on the border of Bingzhou and Jizhou, hundreds of thousands of remnants of the Yellow Turbans gathered, and the officers and troops of Jizhou cleared them several times, but they were all defeated and returned.

After discussing with Fu Zhu and others, Lin Nan sent an order to all the counties and counties near Taihang Mountain: as long as those remnants of the Yellow Turban do not loot and merge the state, don't act rashly for the time being, and wait for the autumn harvest to talk about it, in fact, Lin Nan still wants to wait until he is fattened before killing.

After the autumn harvest. Lin Nan issued an ultimatum to the remnants of the Yellow Turban gathered on Taihang Mountain: within ten days, if they do not return to obedience, they will attack the mountain.

In the face of Lin Nan's strong military pressure, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops led by Zhang Yan reluctantly surrendered to Lin Nan.

So, Lin Nan was busy reorganizing these people.

On the one hand, it is necessary to dismiss the old and weak, register them, and order them to live in peace and join the state. On the other hand, the young and strong were selected to enlist in the army, and Lin Nan built a new fifth army in Bingzhou. The Yellow Turban generals Zhang Yan and Yang Shu served as the chief and deputy commanders. In addition, Lin Nan also gave Zhang Yan the title of mountain general and the rank of major general. This moved Zhang Yan a lot, because she was transformed. He changed from a bandit to a general of the state, and his troops changed from the remnants of the Yellow Turban to the regular army of the state.

At the same time, Lin Nan requisitioned 20,000 cavalry from the Xianbei tribes. 10,000 into the Fifth Army of the Prefecture, and 10,000 to the Reserve Army of the Prefecture stationed in Mount Tai. Moreover. Xu Chu led the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry and the Fifth Army of Bingzhou to Mount Tai for training, and after the training. The Fifth Army was stationed in Qingzhou, under the control of Zhao Yun and Jia Xu.

Immediately, Lin Nan began the fifth expansion of the state.

The Guards did not move, and there was no way to move, because the Dragon, Wolf, Bear and Tiger Fourth Army was far away in Qingzhou, and Lin Nan was also beyond the reach of the whip, but Lin Nan did not want to move the Guards, because it was too difficult for the elite troops to form an army, and the expansion of the army would sometimes reduce the combat effectiveness.

For the Zhenbian Army, Lin Nan expanded each army to 50,000 men, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry and 20,000 reservists. Each corps still had three divisions, one cavalry, one infantry and one reserve. The cavalry division has two cavalry regiments of 5,000 men each, and the infantry division has five infantry regiments of 4,000 men each. Among them, there is a regiment of rapid reaction units equipped with military horses. The reserve division also had five regiments of 4,000 men each. Among them were two reserve infantry regiments, a crossbow regiment, and two engineering regiments.

After some army expansion, the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves on Taihang Mountain were divided up by various armies, and it was not enough, so Lin Nan had to transfer 20,000 infantry from Mount Tai to Bingzhou.

After the expansion was completed, Lin Nan carefully counted that there were 44,000 guards in the guards, 250,000 in the five armies of the Zhenbian army, 100,000 in the reserve army, and the total number of soldiers and horses in the two states of Bingzhou and Qingzhou reached nearly 400,000. Therefore, seeing such a number, Lin Nan was also stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Therefore, after the expansion of the army, all the people in the Military Affairs Yuan were dancing with their eyebrows and triumphant, who has hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands, who is unhappy? However, everyone in the government council was miserable, because the financial pressure of the annexation state has never been reduced, although Lin Nan always used his family wealth to subsidize the finances.

As a counselor, Tian Feng did not have the slightest objection to Lin Nan's expansion of the army, on the contrary, between his words, he revealed some support and encouragement. Moreover, the three major families behind Lin Nan - the Lin family, the Zhen family and the Mi family - also vigorously supported Lin Nan's army expansion, and they all put on a posture of fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Lin Nan pondered for a few days, and finally understood: since ancient times, those princes and warlords who divided one side did not necessarily want to be emperors themselves, but the people under them wanted to be the founding heroes too much.

At the same time, for the three generals Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Pei Shao, who surrendered with Zhang Yan, Lin Nan also reused them to buy people's hearts. Zhou Cang's martial arts are strong, his strength is endless, and he has a pair of scuds, so Lin Nan appointed him as the deputy commander of the guard battalion, and he was named General Wuwei, and introduced him as a personal general. As for Liao Hua and Pei Shao, Lin Nan was assigned to Guan Hai as Guan Hai's deputy to assist in the defense of the five counties of Jinyang.

With such an arrangement, Zhang Yan and the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers had nothing to say, and they all began to die for Lin Nan, because they got the fairness and reuse they wanted. However, some of the original generals in Bingzhou, such as Guan Hai, were quite suspicious of Zhou Cang's appointment, because Lin Nan's personal general was so important, how could he appoint a thief? But Lin Nan didn't care about this, but just asked Zhou Cang to hurry up and learn martial arts from Wang Yue. Use your own strength to gag these people's mouths.

After the expansion and reorganization of the army was completed, Lin Nan ordered all units to seize the time to train. Do a good job of running in the old and new units. At the same time, Lin Nan also ordered all departments to vigorously drill and attack the city. Don't let those two regiments of engineers sit idle.

Originally, the generals were puzzled when they saw that each army had assigned two regiments of engineers, and they were even more puzzled when they heard Lin Nan's order to drill and attack the city. However, due to military orders, the general staff of each army began to study the tactics of siege again.

So, after the autumn harvest, all winter. All departments of the state army are expanding and reorganizing, running in new and old troops, and practicing siege drills.

Winter goes to spring, and as soon as the New Year passes, Cui Yan and Tian Chou ask Lin Nan for instructions: The two-year period for the Xiongnu criminals has arrived, and the assessment should be organized.

So, Lin Nan hurriedly led the relevant personnel to Karen County to preside over the assessment of the Xiongnu criminals.

The assessment process is very simple, one is to be able to speak Chinese. The second is to be able to write a few Chinese characters, understand the instructions for the common people of the state, and know what the people of the state should and should not do. After these two assessments. They swore allegiance and registered to mark that they had officially become civilians in the Han Dynasty.

Moreover. Lin Nan also stipulates that among the family. If more than half of the people have passed the assessment, then the whole family is considered to have passed the assessment. Leniency.

After a few days of assessment, there were only more than 300 households in Karen County, and more than 1,000 people did not pass the assessment.

While ordering people to take care of these people, Lin Nan came to Naqi County to preside over the assessment.

The results of the assessment in Nazi County are obviously better than in Karen County, because there are only a dozen households and dozens of people who have not passed the assessment.

Helplessly, Lin Nan had no choice but to bring these dozens of people to Karen County, preparing to bring them to Suiyuan County with more than 1,000 people from Karen County to transform them with the Xianbei people.

And on the night when Linnan returned to Karen County, more than 1,000 people rebelled.

Hearing that these Huns had launched a rebellion, Lin Nan hurriedly ordered Xu Chu and Zhou Cang to lead the guard battalion to suppress it first, and they could kill a few people first.

When Lin Nan got dressed and came to these people, the rebellion had been stopped, and these people were quietly waiting to fall. Lin Nan knew that none of them had weapons and armor, and even if they rebelled, it would have no effect. However, as a leader, the most taboo is the word "betrayal".

Lin Nan pondered for a while, and then said: "Those who did not participate in the rebellion should go back to the camp to rest, and those who stay here will be killed." ”

As soon as they heard Lin Nan say this, these people all left one after another, and only a few dozen leaders did not move.

Lin Nan knew that these dozens of people must be iron-hearted and unwilling to accept sinicization, otherwise, after two years of transformation, how could they still launch a rebellion?

The thief captured the king first, and Lin Nan then ordered all these dozens of people to be beheaded and strengthen their vigilance.

The next day, after gathering more than 1,000 people together, Lin Nan began to lecture: "There were dozens of people who rebelled last night, and I have already been beheaded. ”

Immediately, Lin Nan said: "Since you have returned to the Han Dynasty, your life has been stable, and you have no worries about food and clothing, what are you not satisfied with?" You will be equal, and I have given you; You are in trouble, and I have relieved you. What else do you have to complain about? ”

Under Lin Nan's questioning, these people all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Then, Lin Nan said: "All the people in the world, the original family, the Han and the Huns, what is the difference, and what is the difference between high and low? You waited for the defeat, I didn't let you wait for life to be a slave, but waited for it, why did you rebel? Don't you know that this is self-defeating? ”

"Look at the people who have passed the guò assessment, they will be the people of the Han Dynasty in the future, and they will be truly equal to the people of the Han Dynasty in the future! Look at yourselves, you are so stubborn, heartless! I wish I could kill you all! ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, the soldiers of the guard battalion all took their knives out of their sheaths and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

When the echo landed, I saw an old man "plop" on his knees, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I'm waiting for the guilt, please punish the adult!" ”

Immediately, all of them knelt down and said, "Please punish me!" ”

Lin Nan sighed and said, "What's the use of punishment? I'm not trying to give you a way out. Tens of thousands of people have been killed before, do I still care about your thousands? Then I will send you to Dingyuan County, you go there and transform it with the Xianbei people, you can't stay here. ”

After Lin Nan finished speaking, these people shouted in unison: "Thank you, sir!" Thank you, sir! ”

So, Lin Nan brought these people to Dingyuan County again, and let them undergo transformation together with the Xianbei people. At the same time, Lin Nan also presided over the assessment of Xianbei people by the way.

And before spring ploughing, Lin Nan finally rushed back to Jinyang. (To be continued.) )
