The banner of the south gate of the White Horse Station is displayed, and the front side is written "the Great Song River East Recruits Envoys", and the reverse side has a big "Wang" word, which is the recruiting place set up by Wang Song's department.

Go east along the Zhanghe River in the south of Baima Post City, traverse the east of the river and Hebei, and arrive at the border of Hebei, and go north along the water in Cizhou, which is Guzhen.

After all, he is the envoy of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, not the commander of the Hebei militia, and the banner of the recruit can only be erected in Hedong.

The news of the recruitment had spread half a month ago, and notices had been posted everywhere, and there was an endless stream of refugees who came to defect. In troubled times, it is rare to have a bite to eat, not to mention the salary.

In less than a month, Licheng County has gathered an army of more than 3,000 people.

The armies of the imperial court confronted the Jurchen army before the Weisheng army and Qinzhou, and the people fled south one after another, and the state capitals were empty, and the places north of the Yellow River and south of the Weisheng army became a vacuum. Wang Song wasted no time in reaching out his hand here.

Licheng County, surrounded by mountains, low depression in the middle, many mountains and few rivers, complex terrain, six mountains, three hills and one field, as long as you control several dangerous points around, you can be safe and worry-free.

This is naturally also the reason for Wang Song's choice, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the cavalry is difficult to deploy, a large number of fleeing people are here, as long as they have a mouthful of food, the people passing through are not endless!

Since the banner of the Loyal and Righteous Army was raised, it attracted many people from the southern part of Shanxi, most of whom were from good families, and all of them were not angry with the bullying of the Jurchens, or they were deeply affected by it, so they came to join the army.

On the southern outskirts of Baima Post City, by the Zhuozhang River, a large military camp has been erected. It is the size of two or three thousand acres. The site was repaired and leveled, there was not a single weed, and it was fenced on all sides, clean and level, which is where the rebels trained and lived.

Zhang Heng took the new soldiers who came to join the army, and they were busy for more than ten days before they cleaned up this piece of the other party, and then clamped the fence and ditch, put up the horse rejection at the entrance of the barracks, and erected hundreds of neat thatched houses on the northwest corner, so as to form today's military camp.

On the school grounds, it was bustling and lively. There were a lot of people training there, and there were a lot of people watching from the sidelines. There are also people who gather in groups of three or five, and they don't look like a market at all.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance. Then, hundreds of war horses rushed over like a storm, heading straight for the White Horse Post City.

The sound of horses' hooves came like rolling thunder, and in the blink of an eye, a group of two or three hundred cavalry had arrived on the high platform in the center of the school field, and several knights were shuttling through the school field while beating horses, and shouted in a voice like thunder: "The king has asked for it, and all the sergeants will meet in the middle of the school field!"

Everyone was in high spirits and gathered on the teaching ground.

Wang Song led people to kill Xiongling and kill the Quartet, rescued the small breed Xianggong, and killed thousands of fans, which has been spread among the people, and everyone joined the army, and most of them also came to Wang Song.

Hearing that Wang Song had arrived, everyone straightened up and walked towards the middle of the school field, wanting to catch a glimpse of this fierce figure of the three armies as soon as possible.

Seeing Wang Song and the others arriving, the recruits on the school field suddenly became jubilant.

"This is Wang Daguan? It's so majestic! ”

"Is this really the king of the Great Officials who killed Xiongling and the Jinren?"

A few idiots stepped forward, knelt down directly, and said loudly: "The villain is willing to play for the "Saibawang"!"

After a few people finished speaking, they began to kowtow "Bang Bang Bang".

Wang Song hurriedly asked his subordinates to step forward, helped up a few men, and persuaded these people to go back.

Unexpectedly, in the battle of killing Xiongling, I don't know who preached it, he turned into the overlord Xiang Yu, and caused such a big impact among the people.

In recent months, the armies of the imperial court have been defeated in Hedong, with tens of thousands of casualties. However, only a local rebel army organization fought a small victory that was insignificant and irrelevant to the overall situation, but it was turned over by the good deeds and publicized it in a big way.

The people need spiritual comfort, and the Great Song Dynasty needs a victory too much!

There was a lot of noise and chatter on the field, and everyone didn't have a proper line, and they thought it was like rushing to the grass market.

It may not be easy for the peasants working in the fields, the hawkers who lead the carts to sell pulp, and the idlers who sit at the entrance of the village and the street to drink and make trouble, and to make this group of people behave in good order and become warriors with strict military discipline and charging into battle.

Zhang Heng and Dong Ping began to shout loudly. But the loyal army formed by these villagers has only been less than half a month, and it is nothing, it is bustling, noisy and mixed, and it begins to make noise and queue up.

Wang Song glanced at Zhang Heng and shook his head slightly, and Zhang Heng lowered his head in shame.

On the high platform, Wang Song stood in front of more than 3,000 rebels with his hands behind his back, looking at the situation below, although many people looked fierce, but the chaos was obviously a group of rabble. If you go to the battlefield, under the impact of the Jurchens' iron cavalry, I am afraid that you will soon be defeated with one blow!

When the recruits saw the cavalry on the high horses on the side of the high platform, they couldn't help but look envious on their faces.

These 200 people are all volunteers who participated in and survived the Battle of Bear Ridge, and they are also the core of Wang Song's entire loyal army. In addition to the more than 100 brothers who went out to recruit soldiers, there were 300 people left in Qingya Village, and dozens of people were lost in Wu'an County, which is all the family background of Wang Songzhong's righteous army.

Now the 200 people stood there, under the scorching sun, even though their underwear was soaked, they were still covered in armor. Although there were only 200 people, it was like an army of thousands of horses, and a fierce murderous aura was faintly oozing out.

Among the more than 3,000 people below, there are also many sturdy young men, but they are naturally much quieter all of a sudden.

Looking at the crooked and miserable queue below, Wang Song frowned and said, "Zhang Heng, how many brothers are there below?"

Hearing that Wang Song's tone didn't seem to be so harsh, Zhang Heng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Daguanren, this is the children of a good family recruited by the brothers in Hedong half a month ago, a total of 3,629 people. Among them, there are 328 archers, and there are about 1,000 strong martial artists, and many recruits have practiced martial arts! ”

Zhang Heng scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Big officials, these days, the villain is just teaching these people to train short guns, and the others have not practiced, please forgive me!" However, most of these brothers we recruited are Kong Wuli and are under the age of thirty. As long as you train well, you will definitely become a strong army!"

Wang Song nodded, he must train, and he must train well to completely transform these people. From the peasants with hoes, the businessmen with scales, and the readers with books, they all became standard soldiers with guns.

However, the wind of martial arts training in Lianghe is strong, and the quality of these selected men is even better, and most of the recruits have a good foundation, as long as they have a little training, they can look good.

Wang Song whispered to Dong Ping: "Dong Ping, how are the things that have been explained to you have been done, have you all done the food?"

Since the last time Wang Song took everyone to the powerful households in Wu'an County to "fight the autumn wind", these brothers have done such things later.

"Don't worry!"

Dong Ping's face turned red, and he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "The brothers copied the treasury of several county yas, and copied many wealthy and powerful households, not only did they have food, but they also made a small fortune by the way. Before the food and silver allocated by the imperial court arrive, it will definitely be enough!"

"Well done!"

Wang Song nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "It didn't hurt anyone, right?"

He had warned Dong Ping in advance that his people might have to be stationed in Hedong for a long time in the future, and unless they committed a heinous crime, they could not be easily ruthless.

"Officials, please rest assured, except for those who are extremely vicious and the people are extremely angry, the brothers have not harmed the innocent!"

Dong Ping's face turned red, and his voice involuntarily became a little louder.

"Big officials, once the Jin people go south, they will rob them of money and grain. Taking advantage of the hot weather now, let's start first, and it is also a last resort. ”

Wang Song nodded. Lianghe faces the impact of the Jurchens, anyway, it will be cheap in a few months, so it is better to use it for our own use! After raising the soldiers, he will kill the gold thieves in the future, and he will have an explanation for these people.

"Two brothers, don't be sloppy in training!"

Wang Song said to Dong Ping and Zhang Heng: "Let the recruits continue to practice short guns in the past few days." In a few days, when all our officers have arrived, we will teach them. And this first step, the first step starts with military posture training!"

As early as when he was in Wu'an County, Wang Song selected 100 people with good understanding as grassroots officers, and followed him to train military posture and stabbing every day when he had nothing to do.

A soldier bears a nest of bears!

The foundation of the army lies in the grass-roots officers, and the quality of the grass-roots officers determines the lower limit of an army. The upper limit lies in appropriate policies, superior environments, and correct training.

Officers at the grassroots level are the backbone of the armed forces, and officers have a heavy responsibility in the armed forces, and their duties are to maintain good order and discipline in the troops, to serve as leaders of small combat units at the grassroots level, and to train non-commissioned officers and soldiers to master training skills.

Those who train soldiers are instructors, and those who lead soldiers on the march to fight are called officers. In the Loyal Army, the policy of mutual separation of instructors and officers not training soldiers is also practiced in the Loyal and Righteous Army, so as to avoid talking about troops on paper and becoming tactically rigid.

In order to train troops first, we must first train officers, and this is also the training criterion that will be used by future generations. In order to transform a group of people with different ideas into professional soldiers, it is necessary to go through a long period of military training.

Although these 100 people also complained from time to time, they had to obey the military order, and a month had passed, and the military posture had already been trained, and the fighting was already a little success, and it was not more than enough to hand over a group of illiterate "people's soldiers".

Everyone quickly lined up, and most of them must have been young men who often practiced martial arts, and their skills were much more outstanding.

Wait for the sound to be quieter. Wang Song walked to the side of the high platform and shouted loudly: "Brothers, recruit Wang Song from the loyal and righteous army in Xiahedong." From today onwards, you are the brothers of the Loyal Army! The loyal army is here to kill the people and protect the people! Do you know that you must strictly abide by military regulations and obey military orders? ”

"Clear!"

Everyone nodded, and some replied weakly.

Wang Song shook his head secretly, retreated, stepped forward, with a black face, and began to read out the military regulations loudly.
