Since Butcher Chen took people out to intercept Fengjiazhuang's people, the peace at the foot of Huangzhu Mountain has returned to the past.

Men and women weave, chickens and dogs bark, a scene of tranquility and paradise.

Whoever looks at such a Huangzhu Mountain is unlikely to guess that this is the famous 'Tang Dynasty' within a radius of 100 miles, and even attracted the attention of the government, and is preparing to gather troops into the mountain to encircle and suppress.

In fact, it is true that when they are not out to loot and fight, this group of bandits in Huangzhushan is actually no different from ordinary villages.

The only thing that can be seen that Huangzhu Mountain is different from ordinary villages is that in a large dirt clearing at the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, there are at least hundreds of people conducting various exercises every day during this time.

As early as many days ago, the Datang Standing Army had already completed the change in its establishment, and the original more than 300 young men were assigned to nine teams, and the number of each team was the standard 36 people.

It's just that the qualified heavy armor sword and shield soldiers and archers are actually not enough to meet the requirements of the establishment, and in order to make up the number, some additional novices are selected.

For example, two archer teams, according to the establishment, need thirty-six people per team, a total of seventy-two people, but there are only more than fifty archers who can be found up and down Huangzhu Mountain, and in fact, the level of these more than 50 people is also uneven.

In order to make up for the number, about twenty people were selected from the young and strong for archer training, Li Xuan and other high-level officials of the Tang Dynasty naturally did not expect these novices to be able to succeed in a qualified archer in just one or two months, they only needed these novices to be able to bend their bows and arrows after two months and shoot arrows smoothly.

After all, there is no way to do it, who makes the training of archers take too long, and the requirements for physical fitness are also quite high, which does not take two or three years, it is impossible to train a qualified archer, if it is an elite archer, it will take more than ten years to train.

Relative to the shortage of archers, the problem of bows and arrows is not small, the Tang Dynasty originally had more than ten pairs of bows and arrows, and then successively incorporated the surrounding cottages such as Water Dragon Village, Jiguan Mountain, Huanggui Mountain, Black Tiger Village, etc., the original archers in these cottages all had bows and arrows, in addition to seizing some bows and arrows from the Ming army.

Therefore, although there is no shortage of bows and arrows for the time being, the types of these bows and arrows are different, and the power is also very different, and the number is just like that.

If more bows and arrows cannot be captured in the future, then the Tang Standing Army will actually not be able to continue to increase the number of archers, because the production of this bow and arrow is the same as the training of archers, it is very time-consuming, a qualified military strong bow, its production process takes more than a year, and the material requirements are harsh, and today's Tang Dynasty is simply unable to produce a large number of qualified bows and arrows in a short time.

This is also the reason why Li Xuan wants to develop muskets vigorously, a farmer can become a qualified musketeer after three months of training, and a craftsman can make a musket in a month, and even this time can be further shortened.

The time and cost of a musketeer is much lower than that of an archer!

And this is also the fundamental reason why muskets eventually replaced bows and arrows in history, not a question of power, but a question of cost performance.

As for the musketeers, after replacing the archers, they replaced the spearmen and even the sword and shield soldiers and other melee arms, naturally because of the invention of the bayonet.

If everything goes well, and the hardware conditions can keep up, Li Xuan will definitely replace all cold weapons except cavalry with musketeers in the end.

In the end, the Datang Standing Army will only have three combat arms: musketeers, artillery, cavalry, plus auxiliary baggage, engineering troops and the like.

It's a pity that the musket that Li Xuan made now is only an arquebus, not a flintlock pistol, and the bayonet is also a stuffed bayonet, not a casing bayonet, and the reliability and power of the musket are a little worse.

What's more critical is that the population of the Tang Dynasty is so small, and there are only a few blacksmiths, which cannot produce the muskets he needs in large quantities, and now even the muskets on the side of the Guards are not enough, and it is naturally impossible for the standing army to be equipped with them.

So if he wants to fully equip the musket, Li Xuan can only say: The wish is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel!

After watching the training of the Standing Army and the Guards on the playground again, Li Xuan returned to the palace with a satisfied smile, now he doesn't have to worry about the training of the Guards, Wang Danxu has implemented the training plan he has formulated very well, and the training is also presentable, the only thing to worry about is whether these Guards can play to the level of training when they are in actual combat.

If he can give full play to the level of training, then Li Xuan estimates that even if it is not a strong army, it should at least have the performance of a regular army, and this is enough for Li Xuan and the weak Tang Dynasty.

There are a lot of problems with the training on the side of the standing army, but it is still better than expected, after completing the training, you can eat a dinner rationed by the public middle school, and the training is excellent and you have the opportunity to be a captain, although not all, but half of the bandits are still trained more carefully, and even a very small number of people train very hard.

As for the remaining half of the standing army bandits, they didn't take the training seriously, and even cheated and cheated, Li Xuan couldn't do anything about it, after all, he was not a god, and he couldn't expect all these old fritters to listen to him, now half of them can train honestly, which is already an unexpected surprise.

Li Xuan was satisfied with the training of the Standing Army and the Guards, so he was naturally in a good mood when he went back.

After returning to the palace, Li Xuan rarely relaxed, pulled Dong Yunyun and played a trick of warm wine and pinching his shoulders, and pinched Dong Yunyun and was hugged to his lap.

Since the two of them broke through the last layer of tissue paper, these two people have been tired of being together basically every day, and it is the time of adultery and love.

When she was hugged by Li Xuan to her lap and sit, although Dong Yunyun had seen him many times, she still showed a shy expression.

However, although her face was shy, Dong Yunyun did not struggle, but sat on Li Xuan's lap obediently, and then continued to feed Li Xuan with a wine glass and took a sip.

Li Xuan looked at her with a slightly red face, smiled, and then touched his hand unruly.

Since the breakthrough in their relationship, he can clearly feel that Dong Yunyun is more attentive to him, not only in tolerating his frivolity, but also in her dependence on him.

That's right, Li Xuan feels that this girl is more dependent on herself than before, and this dependence is still psychological.

Sometimes Li Xuan wondered if Dong Yunyun was a bit of a Steyrmore syndrome tendency, after all, Dong Yunyun was robbed by Fang Dongquan and other bandits, and then used coercion to get her married to Li Xuan.

So no matter how you argue, you can't hide the fact that Dong Yunyun was robbed to be Li Xuan's wife.

It's just that later, Li Xuan took good care of her based on some moral concepts of modern people, which made Dong Yunyun have a special good impression and dependence.

This symptom is quite typical of Delmore syndrome.
