Lu Zhan's ideal army is an iron army, an army that can fight and win battles. Through the national army that Lu Zhan knew before, it was a force with steely discipline, and it was iron-like discipline that made this army turn from a spark to a prairie fire.

Yesterday, a total of about 4,000 young men were selected, and Lu Xian was suffering from the lack of officers to manage. Lu Zhan sighed secretly, officers are the backbone of an army, and qualified soldiers may not be qualified officers. The present conditions and time do not allow for the establishment of military academies, and it now seems that it should be a good way to conduct competitions and elections. Just like when I went to school, I would elect a squad leader and some cadres after a period of school, and it seemed that it was time to prepare for the election of officers.

Lu Zhan called Chen Zhuang to arrange the task, because the basic organizational structure is now needed, Lu Zhan is the commander, Chen Zhuang is the general, and the centurion is temporarily served by the Lu family's personal guards. As for why he didn't seconded officers from Wen Yanshi, it was because Lu Zhan wanted to form a new army, and those veteran feudal officers would definitely bring about a bad atmosphere in the army.

"Chen Zhuang, you are also the old man of the Lu family, this is the army regulations that I have thought of for the time being, you let the soldiers below memorize them well." After speaking, Lu Zhan took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chen Zhuang.

Chen Zhuang frowned after taking the paper handed over by Lu Zhan, the first is to obey the command of all actions, the second is not to take a stitch from the masses, and the third is to return everything to the public... Among the felonies are the following: Anyone who burns, kills, loots, humiliates women, or disobeys military orders must be killed.

"Young master, this regulation is a bit too harsh, but if this regulation is enforced, this army will definitely be a strong army." Chen Zhuang pondered for a moment and said.

As the folk saying goes, it is better to mess with officials than bandits, and it is better to provoke bandits than soldiers. The discipline of the Yue family's army, which does not demolish houses when they freeze to death, and does not loot when they starve to death is Lu Zhan's requirement for the new army.

After instructing Chen Zhuang, Lu Zhan said to Xiao Yezi again: "Xiao Yezi, help me find incense for mosquito repellent, there is no such good thing in the military camp outside the city."

"Young Master, are you planning not to come back in the last few days?" Xiao Yezi watched Lu Zhan and Chen Zhuang pack up and prepare to go to the barracks.

"The new army has just been established, and I have to handle everything personally, and I have been living in the barracks for the past few days, and you and Shuang'er are in charge of the affairs of the house."

After hearing Lu Zhan's order, Xiao Yezi went to the room to find incense, while Jing Nianshuang sat in his room and played Go with Luo Yuechan.

"Princess, he's going to the barracks, why don't you send it off?" Luo Yuechan, who was playing the game against sunspots, asked cautiously.

"It's just a few days of parting, and I can't see such a sad scene in this palace." Although Jing Nianshuang said that he didn't care about it, he didn't want Lu Zhan to leave him, but Jing Nianshuang still knew the importance clearly, and it was better to see out of sight than to say goodbye to him.

Lu Zhan and Chen Zhuang arrived at the barracks with simple living supplies, but fortunately, Yanzhou had built barracks before and did not need to live in tents. As soon as he arrived at the barracks, Lu Zhan summoned all the officers to discuss the matter, and after telling everyone about the regulations, some people could not help but feel dissatisfied.

"This is the rules of being a soldier or a monk." A centurion said dissatisfied.

"You kid has grown his skills, you are serving the Lu family's rice bowl. How to be an officer with a big tail wolf, your officer is still temporary, I will tell you. Chen Zhuang looked at the complaining centurion and scolded bitterly.

"I mean, those soldiers can't stand these rules." After seeing Chen Zhuang angry, the centurion argued.

Seeing that many officers also lamented that the military regulations were too strict, Lu Zhan spoke: "I have read the roster of this recruitment, and the vast majority of those who have passed are young and strong people from rural areas, and these people who have just joined the army will surely accept these rules." Seven days later, I organized a military memorization contest and a combat contest, and the team led by the top three centurions killed pigs and ate meat. ”

By the time the news reached the ears of the soldiers, the soldiers were a little afraid to resemble their ears. Killing pigs and eating meat is simply a luxury for the people at the bottom, and now as long as they memorize the military regulations, they can have meat to eat, which makes these soldiers step up their recitation.

On the first day of coming to the barracks, Lu Zhan didn't sleep well all night, because Lu Zhan always felt the sound of endorsement. If it were Lu Zhan High School, the recitation of the morning reading class was the most drowsy. Lu Zhan looked at the ceiling and thought of this sleepless night, there was no beautiful woman by his side, only the recitation sound of Lu Zhan falling asleep.

Early in the morning, Lu Zhan got up and squinted his sleepy eyes and gathered the soldiers to start a day's training. In order to relieve everyone's emotions and exercise at the same time, Lu Zhan personally trained with the soldiers and ate in the same stove as ordinary soldiers.

Seeing Lu Zhan personally training with him and eating the same food, he was moved by a trace of emotion in his heart, so much military salary and training for leading soldiers made these simple soldiers secretly swear in their hearts that they must follow such a general.

Lu Zhan's method of training, eating, and lodging with his soldiers was a common tactic used by ancient generals to win over soldiers, and before nationalism was officially implemented among the common people, soldiers usually fought only for money and food or to be conquered by the personal charm of the generals.

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to read the military rules aloud in a group, which is a tried and tested method for students to memorize texts before going to college. Occasionally, passers-by were startled by the earth-shattering recitation, and the people who didn't know the inside story thought that Lu Zhan was training soldiers who passed on words.

After reciting the military regulations for half an hour, you can start eating, and after eating breakfast, you can take advantage of the cool morning to do physical training. After lunch, it was time for the lunch break, but many soldiers were silently reciting military rules, after all, the top three teams could eat meat and meat. The afternoon sun is fierce and it's time to train your martial arts skills.

In just seven days of kung fu, the style of the whole team has begun to take shape, and on the seventh day, everyone got up early and began to recite in battle, Lu Zhan saw this look and remembered the appearance of the entire class before the final exam in college.

A total of 4,000 people, a total of 40 teams, are ready to start the recitation competition, which is nothing more than collective recitation and recitation. Lu Zhan sat on the stage and looked excitedly at the people who were reciting underground, and these people were Lu Zhan's biggest reliance in the future.

After the recitation contest is over, the battle competition is to wrap the front end of the wooden stick with a cloth covered with lime powder. Each team competes on a unit, and finally wins according to the lime dots on the opponent's clothes.

In the evening, all the games are over, and the first three teams of each team will be rewarded with a pig. To Lu Zhan's surprise, a team that was the first place in recitation and the third place in battle at the same time, this team successfully carried two pigs back to the kitchen today.

There used to be a butcher in the army who was born to kill pigs, and the smell of meat came out less than an hour after skillfully slaughtering it. The other teams that did not win the award all looked enviously at their comrades eating pork.

"Lord Lu, there is a person at the gate of the barracks who claims to be Duan Xiaohan who has come to ask for a meeting."

"I didn't expect to come so quickly, Chen Zhuang followed me to take a look at this martial arts master."
