Twenty miles south of Nanzheng, there were 20,000 Han troops stationed here.

In the barracks, except for the personnel standing guard on duty, the rest of the generals were still asleep.

"General... General..."

The voice of the halberd outside the tent came out, and Deng Yulong woke up in a daze.

"General, it's almost time now."

Deng Yulong had to get up from the warm bed, and the weather in late February was still a little cool.

He made it a rule to assemble at two o'clock (half past five in the morning), and he asked the halberd on duty to wake him up at seven quarters of an hour (4:45 a.m.), and as a manager, he had to lead by example.

Immediately, Wang Dahu, who was holding an oil lamp, entered the tent and lit the other oil lamps, he slept in a small tent next to the tent, and got up slightly earlier than Deng Yulong.

Deng Yulong had just finished washing, and the sound of the gong was heard throughout the barracks, which was the sound of the time, and it was already the hour.

This is Deng Yulong's rule, get up at five o'clock and gather at half past five.

In ancient times, the pot leak was the main timer, and there were people who were specifically responsible for timing and telling the time, called the pot man, and the official in charge of the timing was called the pot lang.

In the barracks, there are also such personnel.

In modern times, unless it is a special job, it is impossible to get up so early, but in ancient times, it was different in ancient times, the ancient technology was backward, there was no electricity, no network, lack of entertainment programs, and many people went to bed at about nine o'clock.

The Han military camp stipulated that at the latest in the evening it was necessary to rest at two o'clock (half past nine).

Soldiers and officers below the middle rank must live in the barracks, and senior officers who have reached a certain rank can live outside the barracks, but must arrive on time to report for duty.

Deng Yulong got dressed, put on his armor and helmet, hung his sword at his waist, and came out of the tent where he was staying.

Stepping into the tent of the council, a number of oil lamps illuminated the place, and there were already two generals who came here to wait first, namely Guan Ying and Li Shang.

"General..."

The two of them bowed to Deng Yulong together.

Deng Yulong nodded and said, "Morning! ”

For the modern way of greeting, both of them were stunned.

In front of the handsome tent was the seat of the main general, Deng Yulong walked to the seat and knelt down and sat down, untied the sword and put it on the desk in front of the seat.

Soon, a third person arrived, this person was Chai Wu, and the rest of the generals arrived one after another.

Three gongs sounded, and the shouts of the pot man next to the tent came: "It's two o'clock in the hour..."

Outside the tent, the soldiers of the Han army quickly assembled, and middle and low-level officers such as Du Bo and Junhou were responsible for the point.

In the tent, the senior generals were lined up on both sides, and no one made a sound, waiting for the main general to speak.

In addition, there is also a master bookkeeper sitting on the other side, the master book of this period is equivalent to a modern secretary, Deng Yulong is a general, of course, he must be equipped with a secretary, and Xiao He also has a secretary on his side.

Underneath the main book, there are sometimes several paperwork to assist in the work, and there are two documents under the general's main book.

Deng Yulong picked up the list of officers, read the names of the officers in order, and the generals who were read said "to".

When the name "Fan Xu" was pronounced, the word "to" said by Fan Xu deliberately stretched the sound very long, and the same was true when reading "Lu Xuan", and the voice of several generals who responded was not very good.

Deng Yulong will never allow this, and will soon change this situation.

Among the senior generals who were read, the main personnel were Cao Shen, Fan Xu, Lu Xuan, Zhou Bo, Guan Ying, Kong Ju, Chen He, Chai Wu, Ding Fu, Yin Gai, Wang Su, Xue Ou, Jin She, Fu Kuan, Li Shang, Zhu Zhen, Chen Bi, Wang Ling, Xi Juan, Worm Da and others.

What I read just now is the names of most of the senior officers of the Han army, but a few officers are not on the list, these people are going to stay in Nanzheng, for example, Xiahou Ying is the city guard, and Zhou Wei is Liu Bang's bodyguard, not under the jurisdiction of the general.

Liu Bang stipulated that except for the army guarding the capital, the rest were under the jurisdiction of the general, and it was impossible to hand over the entire army to Deng Yulong.

Among the officers who came to report, only Yin Gai was missing.

Cao Shen said: "General, maybe Yin Gai has something urgent to delay. ”

He was a military officer in the Han army, responsible for maintaining and enforcing military discipline, and finding ways to exonerate Yin Gai.

Deng Yulong said: "If you want to be urgent, you must ask for leave first, unless you encounter force majeure factors, otherwise you have violated military regulations." ”

Force majeure factors? The Lord General suddenly came out with these six words, and all the generals were stunned, and it was the first time they had heard this sentence.

Cao Shen asked, "General, what does force majeure mean?" ”

Although Deng Yulong has the memory of the original owner of this body and can adapt to this ancient environment, all modern habits cannot be completely changed in a short period of time, and some do not have to be changed.

"Force majeure means ......"

Deng Yulong explained in detail, and now everyone understands, and feels that the language invented by the general is really incisive.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary clerks are not qualified to stay in it, and the work is carried out by the master book himself, and he wrote in the bamboo slip that on a certain day in a certain month in the first year of the Han Dynasty, the general said a certain sentence and explained the specific meaning.

"Yin Gai violated military regulations, this general will deal with it, today is the second time to convene the generals, there are two things to announce: first, announce the drill and assessment outline of the generals; Second, the list of some new appointees will be announced. ”

Immediately, the main book spread out the bamboo slips and read aloud the content of the outline written in advance.

The training method formulated by Deng Yulong is based on the training methods of major countries and military branches during the Warring States Period, and then innovates and improves to a certain extent, and refines the training methods and assessment standards, including cavalry, archers, crossbowmen, halberds, swordsmen, spearmen and many other arms.

Each branch of the military has specific standards, including training standards and assessment standards (which are divided into three levels: qualified, good, and excellent. ）

The outline was copied in several copies yesterday by the clerk, and it was also necessary to give them to the officers of the different branches of the service. In the early days, Deng Yulong needed to explain in the drill first, and when the officer mastered it, the officer was responsible for the training of the soldiers, and Deng Yulong would supervise it.

In fact, according to Deng Yulong's ability, there is still room for improvement in the training method. However, now he is still working for Liu Bang, he will not be stupid enough to show all his abilities, otherwise let Liu Bang's people master it, that is, to make Liu Bang's wedding dress, and cheapen him for nothing.

Another example is papermaking and gunpowder, as well as some technologies that seem very simple in modern times but have not yet been invented in this era, and Deng Yulong understands the basic manufacturing principles in modern times. None of this can be revealed first, and it must be done after Liu Bang has left him and has complete autonomy before he can invent and create in a planned way.

The main book took half an hour to read the outline aloud.
