The Young Guards were not stationed in Jishi City, the army was stationed on the edge of Jishi Lake more than ten miles away from Jishi City, and in just a few months, a large number of military camps had been erected on the edge of Jishi Lake, and the rammed earth walls surrounded the houses one by one, and every few tens of meters, there was a watchtower about ten meters high, and the bright red battle flag of the Young Guards was fluttering on the upper floor.

When Shangguan Hong arrived with Gao Yuan, the edge of Jishi Lake was lively, a phalanx of teams was either practicing in a queue, or standing in a military posture in the sun, and the cavalry was chasing me around Jishi Lake, with horses' hooves rumbling and slogans bursting, a lively scene of boiling and rebellious.

"You're in good spirits!" Gao Yuan smiled and pointed at the energetic young men.

"This is the Governor's Young Guard!" Shangguan Hong said with a smile: "Both officers and soldiers are the best." Every officer and soldier was proud to be a member of the Young Guard, and after I took office, I set an iron rule that if I failed to meet the target during training, I would be eliminated. ”

"I've seen the indicator you set, isn't it too harsh for recruits?" Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"Because we are the Young Guard." Shangguan Hong straightened his chest and looked at Gao Yuan, "The Young Guards, they must be invincible, they must be invincible, they must not fall into the prestige of the governor, in order to achieve this goal, we must demand ourselves with the highest standards, under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Mansion, under the jurisdiction of the ruling area, under the rule of millions of people, some people want to join, if they don't care, then quit, the Young Guards, absolutely do not want unqualified people." ”

Gao Yuan smiled, "You are the commander of the Young Guard, you have the final say on these things, and you have been training for a month, how about it?" How many were eliminated? ”

"There are now more than 15,000 recruits in the Jishihu Barracks. The elimination rate is 10%. Shangguan Hongdao.

"With such a strict standard, the elimination rate is only 10%?" Gao Yuan looked at Shangguan Hong with some surprise, "Very good!" ”

"This is due to the militia system implemented by the governor in the people, those soldiers who have retired due to injury or age, scattered to the local people, take on the responsibility of the militia in various places, they are paid, naturally they have to do things, and now it seems that they are doing very well. At least the newly recruited soldiers, placed in the general army, can already go directly to battle. When those soldiers were retired, there were still people who suspected that you were wasting money, and seeing the current results, those people should shut up. ”

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Shangguan, your sycophant is getting more and more obscure, but I love to listen." This system must be unswervingly implemented, firstly, to solve the livelihood of these veterans who have contributed to our cause. Second, we have trained more qualified soldiers, and in the future, we will need more and more soldiers. ”

"The Governor is wise."

"What is the proportion of Huns in the Young Guard now?" Gao Yuan looked at the galloping cavalry in the distance. Asked thoughtfully.

"The Huns were mostly cavalry, about 2,000 people. But the governors, these young Huns. They can no longer be regarded as real Huns, they have settled in Jishi City, have a house, have land, and their families also have industries in Jishi County, when recruiting soldiers, we pay great attention to this, these selected Huns, are not very old, have lived in Jishi City for more than three years, are the first batch of Huns to settle in Jishi City, most of them, even studied in the school, wore our clothes, spoke our words, ate the same meals as us, basically can be regarded as Jishi City people. Shangguan Hong smiled.

"Chinese culture, assimilation of different races, has always been efficient." Gao Yuan smiled proudly, "The book is the same text, the car is on the same track, it won't take many years for the Xiongnu to become a term in history." ”

"The same text?" Shangguan Hong thought for a while, "During this time, the governor asked Han Fu to rewrite the school book, is he preparing for this matter?" ”

"Hmm!" Gao Yuan nodded, "You've heard about it too?" ”

"I met Han Fu a few days ago, and he poured bitter water, saying that the governor had a makeover of all the words, and it took him a long time to correspond one by one. He also said that he had read books for half his life, and if he came out according to these words of the governor, he would suspect that he was illiterate. Shangguan Hong laughed, "But I read the comparison book he brought, and I think that the words after the Du Du have changed are more concise and easy to remember." ”

"That's Simplified." Gao Yuan said casually: "In the past, there were a lot of words, which were too complicated, and there were not many people who read in our expedition to the Eastern Mansion, so if they can learn it more easily, it will be easier to promote." I hope that one day, our people, everyone will be literate. ”

"Everybody can read, it's a huge project." Shangguan Hong exclaimed.

"It's not a huge project." Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "As long as all our people are rich and have surplus money in their pockets, everyone will naturally have higher pursuits. If you don't have enough food and no clothes, how can you read and write? ”

"The Governor is right, and in order to achieve this goal, it is first necessary for our army to continue to achieve victories, to constantly rescue those who are still living without food and clothing from tyranny, and to bring them under our rule, and only under the rule of the Governor can they really live a life of good food and clothing."

"You understand it well. All of them are based on our constant victories, so now we need a strong, invincible army. Gao Yuan pointed to the scene of the training of the Young Guards not far away, "In the future, there will be more and more such troops." Let's go, let's go to the barracks and have a look. ”

The two galloped close to the barracks, and when they saw a horse coming, a soldier immediately greeted them at the gate, raised their hands high, and said loudly: "No horses are allowed in the camp." ”

Shangguan Hong stood on his horse, "Governor, there are regulations in the barracks, non-military operations, and horses are not allowed in the camp. ”

Gao Yuan laughed, and couldn't help but think of the story of the fine willow camp in his mind, and raised his eyebrows, "Since it's a rule, of course you have to abide by it, get off the horse." We walked in. ”

The two got off their horses, and the soldier who ran over to stop them recognized two knights in civilian clothes, one was the supreme commander of the Young Guard, and the other was the governor Gao Yuan, who was startled at the moment, stood up straight with his feet together, and gave a military salute to the two.

Gao Yuan smiled and returned the salute, and the horsewhip tapped him on the shoulder. "Not bad, not bad."

The two of them walked past the soldier and walked towards the camp, leaving only the soldier who was still frozen there with excitement on his face, "The Governor has spoken to me, ha, the Governor has spoken to me." ”

Inside the camp, the construction is extremely neat, and the rows of bungalows are horizontal and vertical. There is a gap of several meters between each row of houses, and the road is slightly raised, and there are rows of ditches on either side. These ditches were used to ensure that the roads in the barracks would not be muddy on rainy days.

"Governor, all the stone seeds on the road here are dragged from outside the stone city, and they were originally used by the Ministry of Industry to pave the roads inside the city. I went and grabbed some. Shangguan Hong said: "For this matter, the officials of the Ministry of Industry also found a government to sue me!" ”

"You are taking advantage of Guo Quan's absence in Jishi City to bully his subordinates. Watch out for him to come back to settle accounts with you. Gao Yuan smiled.

"Guo Quan's temperament, even if he comes back, he won't dare to come to me." Shangguan Hong laughed, "At most, come to me to ask for a sum of money to go back." ”

"That's right, Guo Quan has the ability and is extremely serious in doing things, but his temperament is weaker, which is also related to his background, no one is perfect, there are too many strong people in our expedition to the Eastern Mansion, there are such a softer temperament, which is also conducive to unity, he assisted Sun Xiao in Dayan County to build the city, and he will not be able to come back in a short time."

"Governor, is Commander Sun really going to leave the army and turn to civil affairs?" Shangguan Hong hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Yes, now that our army is getting bigger and bigger, Sun Xiao is above the command of the big army, and his ability is insufficient, so it is better for him to turn to civil affairs, besides, I also need a reassuring person to take charge of the Hetao for me." Gao Yuan glanced at Shangguan Hong, "The council hall will issue an official document soon, Xu Yuan will be promoted to the commander of the Northern Group Army, Yan Peng will be the commander of the First Army as the deputy commander, and Luo Weiran will be the commander of the Second Army." ”

Shangguan Hong was silent for a long time, "After working with Commander Sun for so long, he is suddenly about to leave the army, and he is really a little reluctant." ”

"Although we have left the army, we are still colleagues!" Gao Yuan laughed.

"Governor, the front is where my Chinese army is." Shangguan Hong pointed to a bungalow in front of him that was obviously much larger than the surroundings, and said.

"Let's go, you can call in all the officers above the regiment in a while, and I'll see them all, most of them are officers from the former personal guard battalion, right?" Takato asked.

"Yes, a very small number of outstanding cadets who graduated from the military academy this time, and several of these cadets used to hold the position of battalion commander in the army, and after graduation, they were transferred to the Young Guards and promoted to another level." Shangguan Hong nodded.

Gao Yuan suddenly stopped, "Why are there people in your Chinese army arguing?" Hey, it's like Yang Dasha and Guo Laofu, aren't the two of them on a good relationship? ”

"The relationship is very good." Shangguan Hong couldn't help laughing, "But in the past month, the two of them have had a small quarrel in three days and a big quarrel in five days. ”

"What did Guo Laofu do to make guys like Yang Dasha jump off the wall?" Gao Yuan is strangely authentic.

"It's not because of the new recruits in Poplar Village."

"Baiyang Village, I remember, He Dayou, his leg was injured, and it was not very convenient."

"The governor is really a good memory, this He Dayou is a good hand at training soldiers, Baiyang Village is under his governance, it is truly amazing, there are 5,000 people, which is like a village, it is completely a military fortress, and the young people there are all trained by him to be extremely violent, and they are brave cavalrymen when they get on their horses, and they are fierce foot soldiers when they get off their horses."

"There are a lot of veterans in that village, the Huns live together with the Central Plains, and they are good at riding and shooting, and there is a village chief like He Dayou, of course it is amazing."

"Guo Laofu didn't know where to get this news, when he was conscripted, this guy actually ran to where he went, and picked up the five hundred recruits in Baiyang Village in one go, and then found me, saying that he wanted this batch of soldiers, at first I didn't know very well, I thought it was a trivial matter, and I allocated it to him casually, and then I learned that I was a big fool, and I knew that this batch of soldiers was like this, how could I get my Chinese army, Yang Dasha thought that he had a good relationship with Guo Laofu, and asked him for half of it, and was honestly beaten back by Guo Laofu, I was angry, and I pinched with Guo Lao every day! ”

Gao Yuan laughed, "This kind of thing, only Guo Laofu can do it, the division commander of the dignified Young Guards actually went to pick up the troops in person, and dared to deceive you when he came back." ”

Shangguan Hong had a bitter face, "But this matter is not against the law, I signed and agreed again, and now it's too late to regret it, so I can only pinch my nose and admit it." ”

Yang Dasha's voice inside became louder and louder, Gao Yuan shook his head, "This guy, isn't it a five-hundred-hundred-soldier, is there a kind of self-cultivation to be stronger, it seems that I have to clean him up, otherwise he will be endless in the future." ”

"This guy, you are the only one who can cure him. I said, he was convinced on the surface, but he was muttering secretly. Shangguan Hong said with a smile. (To be continued......)
