After watching the daily work of the fireworks workshop, Zheng Sheng continued to walk east, and in the place about a stone's throw away from the fireworks workshop, there was a large square house with high walls, and more than a dozen Tiger Guard Battalion guards were standing on both sides of the door, silently guarding.

This is a very important secret place, the workshop of *. He separated the workshop of * from the fireworks shop in order to make it easier to use * for other things in the future. After all, it's not just about making fireworks, it's more than that.

Zheng Sheng did not enter the workshop, and the person guarding the * workshop today was the first person of the pro-guard team, Zheng Sheng and Zheng Yu were very familiar with him, and he also believed in his ability. So he asked about the situation at the door, stayed for a while, and continued east.

Walk a hundred steps further to the east, a mountain blocks the way to the east, the bluestone road turns south, and from here to the distance of more than a mile to the south, you will arrive at the Qingzhu Garden.

However, at the bend, a bluestone road stretching north is paving away.

The bluestone road with a width of more than one foot has taken shape. However, at a glance, he could see the busy people a dozen paces to the north.

This is the goal that Zheng Sheng wants to accomplish "just cut the curve and go straight". Originally, the mountain road was to go from the northeast to the southwest, and then turn back to the southeast, if you can open up this side of the road, you can walk more than a mile less.

Fortunately, the mountains here are generally not very high, and it is not very difficult to excavate. It may not be very flat after repair, there are uphill and downhill or something, but it does save a long way, and it is worth it.

Moreover, after digging through here, the bluestone road is basically a north-south road, and the distance from Lijia Village to the fireworks workshop is only more than a mile, at most five or six hundred meters, and it will be very convenient to pass.

However, it will take a lot of time to dig this short mountain road of three or four hundred meters.

Zheng Sheng watched the progress of the family members, and after working for ten days, they got thirty or forty meters (from the north and south directions to the middle), and then he thought that they would probably be busy with this mountain road for two or three months.

Subsequently, Zheng Sheng went in the direction of Qingzhuyuan.

On the way, Zheng Sheng met two groups of peers patrolling the bluestone road.

They saluted Zheng Sheng respectfully, and then Zheng Sheng let them continue to patrol.

"Today is the person who guards the third Shi to protect Qingzhuyuan." Zheng Sheng calculated the timetable, and then thought of the reorganization of the Tiger Guard Battalion that had just been completed.

According to Zheng Sheng's previous thoughts, in the second half of the first month, the Tiger Guard Battalion began to divide into camps.

However, at the same time as the sub-battalion, a large number of new people arrived.

Along with this group of road builders came the first batch of trained caravan guards and forty or fifty children in the spring breeze. In addition, Zheng Sheng promised to recruit people again not long ago, and recruited many newcomers who met the requirements.

Counting all these people, the entire battalion of the Tiger Guard Battalion has a full twenty tithes and more than two hundred people.

Therefore, Zheng Sheng had a really fulfilling life this February, on the one hand, he was busy building roads and workshops, and on the other hand, he had to keep an eye on the sub-camp and training of the Tiger Guard Battalion.

After the newcomers received the initial training, they were also divided into two groups, most of them were still incorporated into the new Shili, and only a very small number of people who were skilled in bows and arrows, tall and arm-long, and other specialties were incorporated into the special team.

The so-called special team is composed of three shes: Fei Yu Shi, Shen Arm Shi, and Scout Shi. There were twenty people in each of these three tithes.

Fei Yu Shi, there are the best archers in the whole camp, and the chief is Song Zhi; The twenty people of the Divine Arm are all burly men with long arms and explosive strength, and the chief is Li Anjian; Scout Shi is naturally composed of those guards who run very fast, and the leader is Ye Jun.

The captain of the special team is Zheng Sheng, and these three things are really important, so Zheng Sheng is not a fake man, he is "directly under the central government". Of course, in addition to him as the captain, the special team also has a right captain, Li Anjian. Zheng Sheng couldn't keep his mind on the Tiger Guard Battalion, he had a lot of other things to do, and Li Anjian, the deputy captain, naturally had to be responsible for the training of the special forces in peacetime.

And the rest of the people were originally going to be made up into a dozen ordinary things.

But Mrs. Wang, Qiu Fuzi, and Zheng Wen found him together and talked to him.

Zheng Sheng summed up their meaning, to the effect that although the Tiger Guard Battalion was Zheng Sheng's "private army", these people were carefully selected, but there should also be a distinction between relatives and relatives. They meant that he would assemble a "close" guard.

Zheng Sheng wondered if Mrs. Wang found out that the guards around him would change every once in a while, and everyone in the Tiger Guard Battalion would take turns to protect him.

Then, she was worried that someone would notice this, sneak into the Tiger Guard camp, and take the opportunity to do something to him.

Therefore, after realizing that he was a landlord and a capitalist, Zheng Sheng also knew that as he got older, the things he had to do in the future became bigger and bigger, there were more and more enemies, and he should be more cautious in taking care of his own life, and he should indeed be more careful.

Everything is sooner rather than later, so the whole camp of Huwei has conducted another big selection, and the criteria for selecting people this time are as follows: Zheng knows the roots and knows the bottom (such as being originally from a family), and those who have no roots and no roots (mainly homeless people, Zheng Sheng gave them food and was desperate for him), these are all people who can be called loyal to him.

These people also formed a team called the Guards, which were also three tithes, and each of them had fifteen men. What is long, and finally it was given to Zheng Quan. In the past few years, although Zheng Sheng was thrown into the Tiger Guard camp to temper, he is still the most "loyal" person around him.

The rest of the people were reorganized into ten tithes, and these ten tithes were divided into two teams, one team of five tithes, the left captain was Zheng Shang, and the right captain was Wan Yun.

The left team, the right team, the pro-guard team, and the special service team, this is the structure of the Tiger Guard Battalion after it is divided. The pro-guards and the special team, Zheng Sheng is not worried, there are seventy percent of the tiger guards among these hundreds of people. The newcomers are only three or four percent.

But it's hard to say about the remaining two teams, and almost all the old people who stayed in these groups have become grassroots officers of the chief and the army chief, and have taken on the responsibility of training new people.

And what's worse is that the caravan guards who came with them are also here for training. That's forty or fifty grown men!

Zheng Sheng only began to train the caravan guards after the formation was completed.

The special team will not participate in the training of newcomers, and Zheng Sheng has made up his mind to train them as the "sharp knives" of the future army. And the left and right teams themselves are not well trained, and the task of training caravan escorts is naturally handed over to the personal guards.

But after the establishment of the pro-guard team, they took over the guards of the small courtyard and Qingzhuyuan. The three of them came in turns, and it seemed that there were a lot of people, but there was only one Shi who could be drawn out to train the caravan guards.

Adult males have to be supervised and trained by Zheng Cheng, who is just 10 years old, and they will naturally not be convinced. Although superficially submissive, the motivation for training is too low.

Zheng Cheng blushed and led the guard battalion and guards to a competition.

Fortunately, the guards of the pro-guard battalion can be regarded as "experienced in a hundred battles", and in the end, they tried their best to teach the guards a lesson before they were able to subdue these people.

However, it was impossible for them to train actively, and in the end, they trained for more than a month before they barely trained in the queue.

Then yesterday, the second group of caravan escorts arrived, and this batch of semi-finished products went back to Shunyang, and they could only continue training when they came back next time.

Zheng Sheng walked on the bluestone slab, his thoughts flew to the future, thinking that his Tiger Guard Battalion now has one or two hundred people is already a bit out of line, and in peacetime, the number of people cannot be more.

Expand the army in times of war? By that time, will you still be able to train as a good soldier? His Tiger Guard battalion is the backbone of the army of 1,000 people, and 10,000 people? Is it assimilation, or is it assimilation?

Bing, it's really hard to train.

Zheng Sheng had a headache, and there was another serious problem.

A functional army such as the Secret Service is indispensable and important. But what about the remaining part of the more ordinary soldiers?

Zheng Sheng thought about the competition between the guards and the guards. The so-called competition was actually a heads-up, relying on good courage and ruthlessness, relying on training on weekdays, his tiger guard battalion defeated the guards who were much larger than them.

After the battle, Zheng Sheng found that the guards of the pro-guard team were very satisfied with their results. Their bravery is commendable enough, and in this era, individual bravery is indeed the soul of an army.

But what is there to be proud of in defeating some ordinary adults with this bravery? The defenders are younger, but they have no ambition to defeat the civilians.

But Zheng Sheng asked himself, ten years later, would his Tiger Guard battalion be able to defeat an ordinary Jin army of the same size? Can you defeat the elite Chinese army in Luoyang and the Western Jin Kingdom? Can you defeat the Huns, Xianbei, and Qiang rangers?

Maybe he can win when he develops a good steel knife and a musket that is more than a thousand years ahead of this world. But, what if he can't research it? Thinking of the knife that had opened his mouth again just now, Zheng Sheng's heart was even more worried.

"Tactics? Tactics? Zheng Sheng was very distressed, he really didn't know much about the tactics of the ancient army. Maybe he knows something, but it's all superficial.

For example, Qi Dashuai's Mandarin Duck Formation, Zheng Sheng knew that this famous general had not only resisted the Japanese, but also dealt with the Mongols. His Yiwu soldiers defeated the Japanese and killed the cavalry, which was really majestic, but they were all infantry, which was very magical, but Zheng Sheng didn't understand the principle of the Mandarin Duck Formation at all.

Other tactics are the battlefield scenes that Zheng Sheng has been pondering, crossbowmen, archers, and artillery are output from a long distance, Mo sword soldiers break the formation, and pikemen pick up heads behind them, this is a scene in a TV series that Zheng Sheng watched in later generations.

"Solidarity and cooperation? Spear formation? Zheng Sheng remembered some vague scenes, but those were memories that were too long, and Zheng Sheng couldn't remember them clearly.

"Do you really want the pikemen to pick up heads in the back?" Zheng Sheng shook his head and sighed.

Unconsciously, he had arrived at the Qingzhu Garden, Zheng Sheng stepped on the bluestone that was also paved into the bamboo houses everywhere, walked through the bamboo houses and bamboo forests, and the bluestone road was still extending to the east. However, a new bamboo house came into view. Zheng Sheng walked inside.

Wang Xiangzheng came to meet him, and when he saw Zheng Sheng, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Little Brother Sheng, you are back, it just so happens that I have something to tell you." ”
