Xiang Xunming felt that he had a heavy burden, and the emperor gave him great power to freely choose recruits and training methods, and he was jealous of the previous emperor because of his family's outstanding achievements in several generations, thanks to Princess Gaoyang, he was able to exert great efforts. Therefore, when Gong Jinbing came to him to cooperate, he did not hesitate to send troops to help. Because he knows that only under a monarch who trusts in himself can he create immortal deeds.

Who knew that Princess Gaoyang would be a failure, and as soon as Gong Jueshen came to power, he knew that he would never be lucky enough to set foot on the battlefield in this life, and it was the mercy of the new monarch to save his life. But he didn't expect that Princess Gaoyang not only did not die, but firmly controlled Xinjun in this strange way, giving him this important opportunity to make a career, how could he not be excited.

Xiang Xunming's military training completely got rid of the old methods, and with his military talent and many years of military experience, he began to meticulously establish the new army's military law system and strict actual combat training.

The first thing is to recruit new people. Xiang Xunming, with the assistance of Su Yunqing, completed the arduous task of selecting new people and eliminating the old army in less than a month. In this recruitment, although all young and strong newcomers were recruited, Gong Jinbing secretly communicated with him and explained that the recruitment strategy was 'cutting the old and making up the new, and the two-pronged approach', in order to complete the replacement of the old and the new as soon as possible, so as to prevent Sheng Rui's mad king from suddenly breaking out into war.

Xiang Xunming took Su Yunqing to borrow a few sweaty and bloody horses from the palace, and ran all the military camps in Tang Xia non-stop within a month, selecting materials that could be built one by one, especially paying attention to the selection of generals.

The second thing is to recruit new soldiers from the various fiefdoms. Because of the emperor's kindness and word of mouth among the people, the new army will become the first army of Tang and Xia, and there are a lot of military merits to be made, so the conscripts came enthusiastically, which greatly exceeded imagination. In the face of the tide of soldiers, Xiang Xunming set two military laws for the officials who recruited the new army, the first should be ordered by the previous emperor, three Ding to draw one, and the only son is not recruited, that is, only those who have more than three Ding are recruited into the army, and those who have only children and two sons are not recruited even if they have excellent skills. This law greatly touched the hearts of the people, and many people, even if they only had one son or two sons, hid it from the government, and they could not succeed unless they sent their sons to make meritorious contributions. Second, the standard of Wei Wushu that Han Ruo said to the emperor at the beginning was strictly selected.

However, Wei Wushu was the most famous infantry in the world during the Warring States Period, and it was trained by the general Wu Qi, and the standard was that each soldier could wear three layers of armor, wear an iron helmet, wear a broad-body short sword at the waist, carry a 20-stone strong crossbow and carry 50 arrows, carry a spear on his shoulder, carry dry food for three days, and can still maintain combat strength after traveling 100 miles a day! In terms of the weight of the armor worn by the soldiers and the things they carried with them, it was about fifty or sixty pounds, and under such a heavy load, it was not easy to walk hundreds of miles a day like a fly, and even more to have a surplus body to fight!

This is a myth that is simply impossible for the untrained strong man. Therefore, Xiang Xunming adopted a workaround, only testing the body and will, and anyone who can be equipped according to the standard of Wei Wushu and can travel 100 miles a day can be qualified, and it is not required to maintain the body to fight. Even so, at least seven of the ten pavilions were unable to pass the harsh test of guò.

And in order not to miss talents, if there are people with special talents or outstanding strategies, even if they do not pass the guò test, as long as they prove their talents, they can also be qualified to enlist in the army. For example, those who wear a hundred steps through the Yang, those who can carry the tripod, those who swim like a fish, those who are good at maps, etc., all these elders with skills can enlist in the army.

In addition to these two major events, there is also a third thing, which is to update equipment. Tang Xia's national strength is strong, so he is strong, and he has long neglected the creation of armor and weapons, and Xiang Xunming wants to create a new set of equipment for this new army. Gong Jueshen ordered to supervise the manufacture of weapons, armor, and horse harness. Gathered the strength of craftsmen from all over the country, and before Han Ruo's birthday, he created the new bright light armor that the new army wanted. The rest of the weapons, horse harnesses, and then refined.

The Ming Guang armor is a very powerful military uniform, and two round or oval metal paste mirrors are placed on both sides of the chest and back of the armor, and to match it, it is necessary to wear wide trousers and a wide leather belt. The shape of the armor is complete and clear, the dark gold texture reveals a strong character, the practical effect is excellent, and the craftsman is ingenious, compared with the previous armor, the weight of the bright light armor is much lighter, and the strength is much stronger.

After elimination and reorganization, the new army of Tang Xia screened out 200,000 ironclad cavalry and 100,000 heavy-armored foot soldiers, a full 300,000 army, and a full 300,000 sets of bright light armor.

The military system of the Tang and Xia Dynasty was originally a government soldier system, and the Zhechong government was the basic organizational unit of the government soldiers. Each prefecture has one lieutenant, one lieutenant on the left and right, one lieutenant on the left and right, one each for Changshi, Bing Cao, and other generals, and has four to six regiments under its jurisdiction. Each regiment has 200 people, with a lieutenant and two brigades. Each brigade has a brigade commander and two teams. Each team is divided into five fires. There are ten people for every fire, and there is a fire chief. There is a fixed number of equipment for each team and fire, such as horses, harnesses and shovels, axes, tongs, saws, etc

On this basis, Xiang Xunming revised the complicated official system and adopted the ancient method, that is, to set up centurions, thousands, and ten thousand commanders. 300,000 troops, 3,000 centurions, 300 centurions, 300 commanders, 300 commanders, the superiors are responsible to the subordinates, and Xiang Xunming only needs to listen to the report of the 30000 commanders to control the entire army. This makes the march of this army extremely efficient.

This also means that the position of the captain is very important, and all thirty captains are personally selected by Xiang Xunming and Su Yunqing. When he began to select officers and soldiers from the old army, Xiang Xunming repeatedly screened and selected more than a dozen young commanders who had experienced a hundred battles, and half of them were still missing from the new army.

Xiang Xunming adopted Su Yunqing's Jianyì, broke the identity, and was the only move. Many of the soldiers recruited by the new army this time came from aristocratic families, and the palace tricks were ingenious, breaking the stereotype, and even low-status slaves could enlist in the army as long as they passed the guò test. Therefore, the new army consisted of three classes, namely, nobles, commoners, and slaves. What Su Yunqing advocated was to break the barrier between soldiers and soldiers, especially to eliminate the contempt of nobles and civilian officers and soldiers for slave soldiers. To do this, it is useless to just rely on words, and the most practical way is to test your skills.

In one fell swoop, a dozen outstanding commanders were selected, five of whom were from the slave class, which greatly inspired many slave-born soldiers, and they vowed to establish military merits to prove their service to the country. And these five captains have even stimulated the other captains, who have redoubled their efforts to prove that they will definitely not be inferior to slaves. So it's really a double win, a big morale.

In order to truly train an invincible elite ironclad soldier, it will be difficult to accomplish things without two or three years of hard work, and at present the new army has only been trained for more than a month, and it has only begun to take shape, and it has not yet gained actual combat capability.

However, Gong Jueshen made a secret decree to conduct a drill on Han Ruo's birthday, and he would take Han Ruo to the military camp to watch it at that time. Xiang Xunming knew that Gong Jueshen's move was to please the beauties, but if it weren't for Han Ruo, how could he have his current status and power, so since Han Ruo came to see it in person, he had to make some achievements.

Today is the day of the new army's grand exercise, and 300,000 soldiers will practice a thrilling offensive and defensive battle in this secret and vast Grand Canyon. Xiang Xunming, who was in full uniform, had just stepped onto the central stage, rode a flying horse, and knelt down in front of the stage, "Report!" The emperor and the concubine have arrived! At this moment, he was stopped outside the camp gate by General Lou Yan! ”

Xiang Xunming and Su Yunqing Huo Ran on the side stood up and said to the army: "The three army masters will go out with me to greet them!" ”

And this qiē, Han Ruo didn't know at all. Although it was Han Ruo's idea to recruit and train soldiers, Han Ruo did not know anything about the recruitment and training of the new army this time. On the one hand, there is a palace trick in the palace that deliberately conceals it, and on the other hand, there is Jin Bing outside the palace to cover the whole army, and let Nuhua spread the word that he is fully responsible for this matter, and the two of them are simply hiding Han Ruo as if they want to surprise her.

However, Gong Jinbing really wants to train an invincible ironclad elite soldier for Han Ruo, while Gong Jueshen focuses on the moment to surprise the beauty.

Just like at this moment, Gong Jueshen and Han Ruo rode two horses and horses to the mouth of the canyon, which was the infantry commander Louyan outpost. When the two of them and the guards behind them galloped over, Lou Yan blocked the way and shouted: "Who is coming?" The barracks are important, and horses are not allowed to gallop! ”

The chief of the guard shouted: "The emperor is coming!" Open the gate! ”

"The barracks are a big performance, idle people, etc., are not allowed to trespass! Rong Mo will inform the coach of the decision! "Lou Yan is selfless with an iron face, and when she heard that the emperor was coming, her face did not change.

The chief of the guard shouted angrily, "How can this be justified! Quickly open the walled door! Welcome the emperor into the camp! ”

When Lou Yan heard this, not only did he not open the door, but said majestically: "The law of the three armies is only obeyed." The last general doesn't know that there is an emperor! ”

All the guards changed color, looked at each other angrily, and only waited for the emperor to give an order, and then drew their swords and beheaded this arrogant man with no holy eyes. Unexpectedly, Gong Jueshen smiled faintly and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and be on standby." Then he turned over and dismounted, and personally helped Hanruo to dismount, and waited at the gate of the camp.

Han Ruo couldn't help but laugh and said, "We've become idlers." Although it was annoying, it also showed that Xiang Xun had a good way to govern the army and strict military law. I'm afraid that Gong Jueshen will have different intentions.

Gong Jueshen nodded Hanruo's nose through the veil and said, "Don't be careful. ”

As soon as this remark came out, he completely ignored Han Ruo's voice-over, Han Ruo secretly stuck out his tongue under the veil, and sighed that this guy really saw his mind thoroughly. But since he said so, Han Ruo calmed down. After all, Xiang Xunming recommended it herself, and she didn't want her efforts to be in vain.

The two waited for a while, and the smoke and dust rose from the gate of the canyon wall, and Xiang Xunming and Su Yunqing led the main generals of the three armies and two chariots to roar......
