Not long after the three of them chatted again, the next person reported that the meal was ready, and Tian Lie greeted Yu Zhilong and Kong Ying to accompany him. After the three of them took their seats, they drank and ate vegetables, and Mrs. Tian carefully prepared a few hot and cold side dishes, which Yu Zhilong praised and did not mention, and Tian Lie and Kong Ying talked about the customs and customs of various places from time to time opened Yu Zhilong's eyes, and Yu Zhilong's sword and sword fights all the way and the hardships of people's livelihood found in various places also made the two sigh.

Yu Zhilong resigned after dinner, and Tian Lie and Kong Ying were sent to the gate of the hospital. Looking at the shadow of Yu Zhilong's departure, Tian Lie asked Kong Yingdao, "What does the virtuous nephew say about this person?" ”

"The dragon in the abyss, just wait for the wind and clouds."

"I can't imagine that there is a pearl when I am reckless, if it can be used by the imperial court, wouldn't it be a blessing?" Tian Lie sighed.

"The pearl is dusty, it is the responsibility of the Yuan court, now Mengyuan is immoral, the world is in chaos, why should Uncle Tian be foolish and loyal to the Tatar court? Even if they practice Han law and hold the imperial examination, it is just a trick to govern Han with Han. It's ridiculous that the stupid students in the world attached themselves to the Yuan Court for the fame of the imperial examination, and listened to the general's words: Expelling the Tartars and restoring China, it is really a great courage! Hot-blooded men should be as they say! ”

Kong Ying disagreed with Tian Lie's words, and the discussion during the Yu Zhilong banquet obviously aroused Kong Ying's sympathy. Tian Lie is his elder and Tian Xin's father, and he has been teaching for a long time, with high quality, and does not tend to be attached to the powerful, Kong Ying respects him, but the two have differences in the face of whether the Mengyuan court is the orthodoxy of the Han court.

Tian Lie's views represent the views of most Confucian students today, and although he does not like the tyranny of the Yuan court today, he still agrees with his use of some Han laws. Kong Ying represents some hot-blooded radical people, and no one can convince anyone.

The two entered the house and said that Mrs. Tian and Tian Xin and Kong Yue knew about today's conversation with Yu Zhilong, Mrs. Tian and the two girls were surprised, thinking that Yu Zhilong was just a reckless person, forced to rebel for his livelihood, although it was not tolerated by the court, but he still had a good conscience and did not do the business of thieves. Hearing Tian Lie say that some of Yu Zhilong's ideas are by no means what those students can do, and the means are pragmatic and honest, and then listen to Kong Ying's retelling of his ambition to drive out the Tartars and restore China, the two women slowly tasted it in their hearts, and couldn't help but gradually become stupid.

Yu Zhilong went all the way out of the city to where his garrison was. At this time, Zhao Shi and others had already led the team to set off, and there were thousands of soldiers in the station who were training under the arrangement of Mingxiong and others. Yu Zhilong stood in the distance and quietly observed, not stepping forward to greet his subordinates.

Mingxiong has his own experience in training soldiers, and he ordered his subordinates to demonstrate the movements many times in a single soldier, a single column, and multiple columns, and explained them in front of each hundred teams, and then these soldiers practiced after they saw clearly and understood.

The units had been training separately for a short time, and the soldiers were dusty and sweaty. Now thousands of people are gathered on all sides, and in the middle is a large open space, and all the departments are watching the demonstration of Mingxiong's department.

Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi, Ma Rulong, Mu Chun and others are standing in their respective divisions, and now most of the hundreds of households at all levels, the general banner, etc. are veterans of the scout team, and there are still a small number of the best performing Han army and the righteous army who have been captured and attached to the army have also been appointed as low-level officers at all levels, these people are now the main middle and lower-level officer force of the Jing'an Army, and the soldiers are standing or squatting, and in the middle is Mingxiong commanding his own subordinate column demonstration exercises.

The soldiers in the field obeyed the instructions of the lighting heroes, and repeatedly carried out the change, direction, division and merger of the queue, etc., and the actions were clear and orderly. Next to it, drummers and flag bearers make various movements according to the command.

According to the change of the drum beat and the change of flags, the movements of each team of soldiers are adjusted accordingly. They are mainly the old department of Mingxiong, who have been trained for a long time, and they are familiar with these vehicles, and seeing their skillful formation changes have attracted the admiration of everyone around.

"This Ming is really a master of military training, I just want it!" Ma Rulong chewed a grass stalk in his mouth over and over again, shaking his head and sighing.

"I thought that this person was also very capable, but I didn't expect that the ability of this commander is so high, it is really high!" Huang Er also shook his head and said. The two of them were right next to each other, standing side by side.

"Is it taller than you?" Ma Rulong didn't believe it.

That night, Huang Er and Mingxiong competed, and everyone knew about it, but with Wu Sidee and Huang Er's temperament, they didn't admit that their skills were inferior to others in front of the generals, but they just said that Mingxiong's fists and swords were good, and he couldn't win for a while. In fact, according to their temperament, everyone understands that eighty percent of them lost, but they just didn't let go.

"It's not high, you can try it." Huang Er encouraged him to go. Ma Rulong is not fooled, now it is different from the past, they are already a minister, if they lose in public, their faces are not good-looking. Besides, he is on par with the skills of these two goods, Huang Er can't please him, and it's enough to go up by himself, and now it's serious to learn more skills!

With the public demonstration, the soldiers understood more clearly in their hearts, Mingxiong ordered the disbandment, and the teams returned to their respective venues to continue the drill.

Yu Zhilong continued to watch for a while, and the training effect of each team was good, exceeding his expectations. Mingxiong is also really attentive and lives up to expectations. Looking at Mingxiong's sweaty and dusty face, Yu Zhilong was speechless for a while, turned his head and asked Qian Zheng softly: "How is Captain Ming looking today?" Is there an abnormality? ”

Qian Zheng participated in the drill today, did not go out with Zhao Shi, saw Yu Zhilong asked, and replied in a low voice: "Captain Ming came early this morning with his own soldiers, and Brother Shi had already informed the whole army when he set off that Ming Baihu would be responsible for the drills in the future." If you want to talk about military training, it is really the best thing for people like Captain Ming! We used to learn the skills of fighting, barely recognizing a banner, but now we have a hundred people, and we don't even know how to give orders and how to set up a queue. ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, and this time Captain Ming can join our department, which is really a treasure!" Yu Zhilong said happily. Seeing that Gao Shang and others were boiling water and cooking in the distance, he beckoned him to come over for questioning.

"What's today's meal?"

Seeing Yu Zhilong asking, he hurriedly ran over, not caring about the sweat on his face, and replied: "Back to the adults, after the small ones received the rice grain, they have a white flour bun every day, a nest head, and then boil the broth, prepare some vegetables and vegetables, and ensure that everyone eats enough!" ”

"The training of the soldiers is very hard, you should boil more hot water and prepare more wooden bowls in the future. The soldiers were allowed to drink water when they rested in between. In addition, now that there are more and more people in our department, you should think more about how to keep your diet and utensils clean. It is said that one person is short, two people are long, and ask others what they have good ideas. If your negligence causes a large number of soldiers to fall ill and become infected, I will cure you! ”

"No!" Gao Shang Cheng said with trepidation.

"Oh, there are many mosquitoes and flies in summer, and soldiers are susceptible to epidemics, so after boiling water every day, put the dishes and chopsticks into a large pot and cook for a while." Yu Zhilong continued to instruct Gao Shang. "Also, make a few more latrines in the camp and in the wild, and prohibit soldiers from arbitrarily detoxifying inside and outside the camp!"

"No!" The noble leader went.

"If a soldier is injured or sick, he is allowed to recuperate temporarily, do not participate in training again, and ask Lang Zhong to show the injured and sick soldier. In addition, if I ask if Lang Zhong is willing to join the army, I am willing to pay more salary, if he is not willing to join the army, and is willing to train some soldiers to practice medicine for my department, I am willing to pay a high salary in return. ”

Yu Zhilong said to Sun Xing again, "This time I went back and told Fang Xue and Xie Lin, let them either post a notice, or inquire about the local Lang Zhong one by one, is this a salary, just give a one-time twenty taels a month, if it is not enough, let Xie Lin and the others add more as appropriate." As for how to train soldiers to practice medicine, Fang Xue and Xie Lin set a charter. Sun Xing wrote them down one by one.

Mingxiong finally saw Yu Zhilong beside him, and ordered his subordinates to continue to practice, ran over to give a salute, and asked Yu Zhilong to admonish.

Yu Zhilong said with a smile: "I am very relieved to see that Captain Ming is well-trained, but we are all reckless people, who don't know how to write and ink, and don't know about military affairs." This training of the army, to put it bluntly, is the first time that the eldest girl gets on the sedan chair. I have also come to ask you for advice, what words of instruction do you have? I wonder what your plan is for this exercise? ”

"The villain is terrified, but the adult is serious!" Mingxiong saluted again, thought for a while, and said, "The little one started to practice according to Deputy Zhao Qianhu's instructions today, and there are currently three main sources of soldiers in our department. The first is the drive and coolies in the quarry, the second is the volunteers who surrendered captively, and the third is the Han army who surrendered captively. Looking at the results of today's training, the progress is quite rapid, and the villain thinks that if we want to quickly become an army, not only these non-commissioned officers must know the golden drum banner, but also the officers of the upper and lower departments must also learn these command and liaison signals, and they must also establish a herald system as soon as possible. In addition, the training of the non-commissioned officers of each unit should also be carried out quickly, and if there is more time for it, the small ones are also planned to be rehearsed for the confrontation of various departments. ”

"It is necessary for the non-commissioned officers and the commanders at all levels to conduct drills. It was ordered that the commanders who stayed behind in each ministry should participate regardless of their positions, and the specific arrangements were completely ordered by Captain Ming. On the training ground, Mingxiong and others are the instructors of the army, and what they say is a military order, and those who violate the order will be punished! However, one of the main points of our army's building is not to easily punish soldiers. Therefore, the whole army was informed that all non-commissioned officers and commanders at all levels who disobeyed the order should go to clean the latrines for one day, and the dinner supply would be halved, and if there was a repeat offense, the time limit would be extended! Captain Ming, you have a heavy responsibility, how to train the army as soon as possible, you might as well make a charter after you go back, and after you improve it in the future, you can pass through the whole army after I read it. ”

"Honorable Order!" Mingxiong replied, "It's just that most of my troops are recruits, and if you want to train a rough appearance, it is estimated that it will take at least a month or more, I don't know how much time you can leave for your subordinates?" ”

"Well, it's almost the end of October, and I'd like to have at least more time. In this way, the time for training and governing the government is relatively generous, but I have this heart, and the Yuan Court will definitely not allow it, we occupy the county seat, and Yidu Road will be shaken, but I am afraid that within these ten days, there will inevitably be a big war. Yu Zhilong thought about it and said.

"Battlefield fighting, flesh and blood, victory or defeat is often between life and death, but unfortunately the time is too short, these soldiers are mostly recruits, and it is hopeless to train elite soldiers in a few days, but I am waiting for nothing, only a lot of blood and courage. Ladies and gentlemen, the big war is coming, we should start with this, and cheer up the morale of the army, and we should take the lead in the war! ”

"When the two armies meet, the brave wins, on the battlefield, all actions are under command, they are raised by their parents, and the Tartar is not as many heads as me, and then he just cuts his mother with a big knife!"

Mingxiong, Sun Xing, Huang Er, Ma Rulong, etc., who rushed over, all said yes.
