It has been half a year since Zhu Hao issued the conscription announcement, and many people had a wait-and-see attitude at first, for fear that Zhu Hao was also one of the old officials of the imperial court, and he knew that he would harm the people, forcing Luo Yunqu and others to run around to recruit people. Later, people found that the soldiers under this General Zhu Xiao were good, all of them were strong and powerful, they stayed in the barracks when they had nothing to do, and they were polite when they came out to buy things on vacation, paid according to the price, and never bullied others, and even some soldiers caught robbers and thieves on the street, and helped the lonely old man carry water and chop wood.

These things spread ten or ten hundreds, and gradually the reputation of Zhu Hao's soldiers in Xuzhou is getting better and better, and the original soldiers are simply heaven and earth, Xuzhou's public security is also a lot better, and the people are also full of respect and curiosity about this army, there is really the style of the Yue family army and the Qi family army, plus Zhu Hao's family history has been turned out by someone with a heart, it turns out to be the great-grandson of General Qi! Therefore, although Zhu Hao rarely shows up, he has also become a Qingtian-style figure like Qi Jiguang in the eyes of the people. The recruiting office is full of people who come to apply every day, and the threshold is almost flattened.

Hearing these things, Zhu Hao secretly laughed in his heart: Just kidding, in the later Celestial Empire, it was with these ideological works that he won the hearts of 40,000 people, easily killed the opposition's 8 million army, and sat firmly in the country.

Therefore, he never gave up the ideological and political work of the officers and men, specially selected a group of people with sharp tongues, and instilled in the soldiers the idea of the military and the people being one family for many years, paying attention to practical results, and on the whole it was still very effective.

Within three months after the year, the total number of people from the surrounding prefectures to Yanzhou in the north, Yangzhou in the south, and Luoyang in the west exceeded 100,000! However, Zhu Hao did not refuse to come, but selected 20,000 strong people, and carefully selected 5,000 people from them to join the regular army, and the rest of the people he set up a reserve force and distributed it to the military field.

There are still three or four months before the Qing army enters the customs, and in addition to urging the training of new recruits as soon as possible, Zhu Hao often goes to the armory room these days to discuss with Bi Zhonglin, and goes all out to speed up the production of weapons and ammunition.

Zhu Hao suddenly remembered the assembly line operation in business, so he suggested to Bi Zhonglin whether it was possible to use the assembly line operation method in the production of firearms, divide the craftsmen into several groups, and each group will produce a certain part fixedly, and finally a team will be responsible for assembling, so that the craftsmen of each group will be more and more skilled in the production of this part for a long time, the production efficiency will be greatly improved, and the degree of secrecy will also be greatly increased.

Although Bi Zhonglin was not surprised by his various magical ideas, he couldn't help but admire this method. Immediately after going back, the craftsmen were summoned to rearrange production according to Zhu Hao's idea, this reform, as expected, greatly improved the production efficiency, originally with the existing scale, can only produce 1,000 muskets per month, now after the use of assembly operations, can be increased to more than 3,000, Zhu Hao estimated that at such a speed before the Qing army entered the customs, it is not impossible to replace the main force with new muskets.

In addition to the new muskets, grenades, handguns, and artillery, the old five-thunder machine was also improved, from five tubes to ten tubes, and hundreds of such five-thunder machines were produced. In addition, among a variety of firearms, Zhu Hao selected mines and a multiple launch rocket, this firearm carries dozens of rockets, has a long range, is filled with flammable materials such as fire oil, and the explosive power is not strong, so it can be used as an incendiary bomb, and all other firearms are abolished.

Zhu Hao also plans to select a group of elites in the army to form special forces.

"Lao Luo, you go and arrange it, let each team select a group of soldiers with excellent military skills, quick skills, flexible minds, strong wills and literacy for me, remember, it must be the best soldiers."

"Yes, young master." Luo Yunqu didn't ask the reason, he was now almost blindly carrying out Zhu Hao's orders.

Within a few days, hundreds of soldiers selected by various brigades gathered in front of Zhu Hao.

Looking at these expressionless soldiers, Zhu Hao nodded with satisfaction.

"A few days ago, I told you Captain Luo to ask him to select a group of the most elite soldiers for me to meet me, so he brought you here, so let me ask, are you the best soldiers?" Zhu Hao said loudly.

"Yes!" Everyone roared angrily, they were the elite of each team, and of course they would not show weakness.

"Very good, let me tell you, today I am going to set up a special forces, that is, the most powerful special forces, the soldiers of the special forces are the king of soldiers, what is the king of soldiers, the king of soldiers is the king of soldiers! Special forces will represent the strongest combat effectiveness in the world and the highest honor of soldiers! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" Although the soldiers below know nothing about special forces, they are no strangers to the words strongest and soldier king, and they all roar with red eyes as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

"Special forces will be tasked with tasks that cannot be done by large forces, such as going deep behind enemy lines, assassinating enemy leaders, gathering intelligence, rescuing people, sabotage, etc., so the most elite soldiers will be required to complete this task. Therefore, I want to conduct a strict assessment of you, only those who pass the assessment can officially become a member of the special forces, and after becoming a special forces, they will face more severe training, I declare in advance, the intensity and danger will be five or even ten times that of your current training, and it is very likely that some of you will not be able to survive and be tortured to death, how about it? If you're afraid, those who are afraid should get out of here! Zhu Hao deliberately stimulated the people below with a contemptuous tone.

"Okay, since you all want to see my torture methods, I will fulfill you, and tomorrow the assessment will start and disband!" Seeing the arrogance on everyone's heads, Zhu Hao deliberately knocked them out.

Zhu Hao in later generations has never been a soldier, but he has watched a lot of TV series, documentaries, novels, etc., and he also knows a little about special forces.

Therefore, he assessed these GIs in four aspects: basic endurance assessment such as 20-kilometer armed cross-country and frog jumping, individual combat confrontation, basic military skills including shooting, and group jungle confrontation.

After three days of assessment, more than 120 of the more than 300 soldiers passed the assessment and officially became reserve special forces, but according to Zhu Hao, they are not qualified special forces, let alone excellent special forces, and in the future, they need to be trained and retrained.

Zhu Hao ordered three months of hellish training, with all kinds of contents, such as resisting giant trees, crossing the quagmire, being motionless in the rainstorm, crouching in the manure tank for three hours, starving for three days, eating snakes and rats raw, and other seemingly unbelievable training, and even pulled these people to the beach hundreds of miles away to be hit by the wind and waves.

However, in Zhu Hao's eyes, this is all pediatrics, and he still has a lot of novel techniques that he has not yet used, if Luo Yunqu and they know it, they will only be so scared that they vomit blood.

At the end of the three-month hellish training, less than half of the GIs who persevered to the end remained, a total of fifty-four people, and they happened to be a deck of playing cards, and Zhu Hao gave this special forces a nickname that looked tacky in later generations but was extremely majestic in this era: wolf teeth! also let everyone also take their own code name, the position of captain was awarded to the most outstanding Lu Yang, this guy gave himself the nickname of Hades, and his subordinates also gave some non-mainstream names such as judges, little ghosts, bull heads and horse noodles, etc., which had nothing to do with wolves, and Zhu Hao was not light, and he wasted a piece of his mind, and later when Zhu Hao was preparing to build the second special forces, Lu Yang changed the wolf nickname.

After devilish training, the members of the entire special forces exuded a terrifying momentum, even a master like Luo Yunqu was a little timid when he saw it, not to mention others, who were also envious of the majestic nickname of wolf teeth. made these special forces all arrogant, and there was no one else in their eyes except Zhu Hao.
