Chapter 180: Forming a New Xiang Army (2)
The next day, after the county government ordered, Liu Daojie took the initiative to find Zhang Junping.
"I heard Zhou Dutou say, Zhixian wants to build a reservoir in the Wuclaw Mountain Canyon, and then dig a canal to divert water to irrigate the land?"
"Yes, there is this idea!
However, the stakes are too high to be rushed! Zhang Junping smiled and nodded, some of his thoughts were never hidden from the people below.
Zhang Junping, who was born in the military, doesn't like to engage in things that pretend to be deep, and he leaves half of what he says, leaving half of it and letting his subordinates guess.
Saying that half is left and half is the routine of civil officials.
In the army, what you want is clear instructions, and you never do this, good guy, you give a task, and your subordinates have to guess the content of the task?
That's a dead slow sound.
"I mentioned the idea of the county to Li Yuanwai, and Li Yuanwai was very supportive of the idea of the county, and said that this is a great thing for the benefit of Sangzi!
I am willing to contribute money and efforts to help the county to complete this great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! ”
"Oh? I didn't expect Li Yuanwai to have such foresight!
This official has underestimated them before!
The next time I have the opportunity, I will definitely thank them personally! ”
"No, no! The county repairs the reservoir and the canal is also for the people of Muping County!
To put it mildly, the ultimate benefit is Li Yuanwai them! Liu Daojie said with a smile.
"Hmmm! You have a point!
The official knows, but now the reservoir and canal are still being planned, and they have not yet been finalized, and the construction can only start when the official completes the planning. ”
"When Zhixian is ready for construction, you just need to say hello, and the fathers and elders of Muping County will definitely do their best to support Zhixian's feat!"
"By the way, Master Liu came just in time, I was about to call someone to find you!
Didn't I say yesterday that I was going to convert the school into a school?
It's as simple as getting rid of Master Liu's book and taking someone to clean it up, after all, it turns out that it is a thief's lair, and there are some things in it that are probably not suitable for appearing in the academy!
The furniture left behind by the bandits also needs to be cleaned, and I think some of the furniture is covered in oil.
Look at what else is missing, a piece is fully configured!
Master Liu can take the two gentlemen with him, how to arrange the academy, you can ask for their opinions! ”
"Yes! Xiaguan will do it! Liu Daojie agreed, turned around and left the back hall.
handed over the preparation of the academy to the chief bookkeeper Liu Daojie, and Zhang Junping also left the county office.
Come to the barracks.
In the barracks, those forty bandits, who have killed people but have never been rape, have been branded.
That is, the tattoo.
Now, there are now more than 500 people in the Xiang army.
According to Zhang Junping's requirements, those under the age of 30 became a capital alone, a total of 325 people.
It's a little less, but it's okay to make.
As for those over 30 years old and under 40 years old, they are all in logistics, responsible for lighting fires, cooking, and transporting supplies.
Zhang Junping, who is over forty years old, has not been reformed, after all, everyone has been a soldier for almost a lifetime.
Zhang Junping arranged for them to be responsible for cleaning up the barracks for a living, feeding war horses and other sundries.
The Xiang army, in the Northern Song Dynasty, was said to be a local army, but in fact it was a miscellaneous soldier, whose main tasks were to build cities, make weapons, build roads and bridges, transport grain and reclaim famine, and guard officials, welcome and send-off. Generally, there is no training, combat mission.
However, that is not the box soldier that Zhang Junping wants.
At present, the only troops in Zhang Junping's hands are a battalion of van troops and a battalion of township soldiers.
How could he be willing to let them do chores.
In yesterday's recital, Zhang Junping had already promoted Zhang Ming to the post of county lieutenant of Muping County.
Of the seven squads, only three squads were left as personal soldiers, and the other four squads were all scattered and incorporated into the box army.
The four squad leaders served as the leaders, and the family members went down to serve as the team leaders, ten generals.
"Zhang Bao serves as the military envoy of the Ma Army!
Zhang Lin, Zhang Jie, and Zhang Min served as the head of the infantry army!
The team leader under him, the ten generals will look at the arrangement by yourself, and report it to Zhang Ming after the arrangement! ”
"Lang Jun, what about me?" Zhang Bo is in a hurry, he has been in charge for several days, why is it that everyone is almost together, but he has no business of his own?
"You? You serve as the head of the pro-army! Zhang Tian, Zhang Kun served as the ten generals of the pro-army! Zhang Junping glanced at Zhang Bo.
"Yes!" Zhang Boli shouted loudly.
Although he is only the leader of a team of thirty people, he can be regarded as a promotion compared to the past, and the most important thing is that the head of the pro-army sounds much more majestic than the head of the Xiang army, and the Xiang army and the horse army are much more majestic.
He is really the person Lang Jun trusts the most.
"From today onwards, you will all be soldiers under the command of this official!
Forget who you were before, you are no longer free bandits!
Next, the county lieutenant will conduct a three-month military training for you!
I only need one request, that is, if I don't die, I will practice to death! ”
Zhang Junping's words made the people standing on the martial arts arena shudder.
"Some veterans of the box army may say that we are the box army and have never needed training before!
Wrong!
That was in the past, under the command of this official, not only your Xiang army, even if it was a village soldier, you also needed training!
Practice to the death, you can't die.
But if you don't want to practice, you're lazy, you're slippery, it's easy to die!
I followed the deserter directly and cut him! After Zhang Junping finished speaking, the momentum on his body suddenly rose, and the will of the tiger shrouded the heads of all the van soldiers.
Those old men in the box army suddenly shuddered, and the feeling of being targeted by a tiger came again!
After the training, Zhang Junping took Zhang Ming and the squad leader who was placed in the box army into the camp tent.
"For the next three months, train them the same way I trained you before, and I'll give you ten death places!
Also, don't slack off yourselves, you can't relax in training!
In the past, it was inconvenient to be in Kaifeng Mansion, so I took you and those Xiang soldiers all had a training, that is, water-based training!
Learn to swim, dive, fight on the water! ”
"Water combat? Lang Jun, are we going to fight pirates? ”
"Nope! You are the first army I trained in this world!
What I want is an army that can capture dragons in the sea and fight tigers in the mountains!
It's the best of the best!
Those elites of the forbidden army are only worthy of carrying your shoes! Zhang Junping said proudly.
"Yes! Obey Lang Jun's orders!
We must follow Lang Jun's requirements and practice the road and on the water to kill the enemy! Zhang Ming and several squad leaders stood up and shouted loudly.
"Well, that's good!
Go and invite Zheng Kui and Du Yude over! ”
After a while, Zheng Kui and Du Yude walked into the camp.
"Du Yude, give you two choices, first, train with the Xiang Army, and when you reach my standards, I will promote you to be the deputy military envoy of the Ma Army or the head of the infantry army!"
Second, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, you will be sentenced to be confiscated into the army and assigned to the frontier! ”
"I'm willing to train with the Xiang Army!" Du Yude said simply.
Naturally, the army is selected, the frontier is distributed, and the army is filled, and life and death are unknown.
As for the hard training, Du Yude, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, doesn't think that training can be so hard.
