After getting off the boat, Zheng Sheng returned to the manor.

Earlier, when she heard about her son's assassination, Mrs. Wang almost ran to Xi County. Later, I heard that Zheng Sheng was fine, so Mrs. Wang didn't leave to go north.

However, just when Zheng Sheng was reflecting on himself in Xixian, Mrs. Wang challenged Wancheng. She wrote a letter questioning Zheng Yuan.

"My son was almost injured by ten homeless people, is the Zheng family's guard so bad?"

Zheng Yuan graciously accepted the criticism, and then he removed Huang Congren, the steward in charge of the management of the Zheng family's guards, and Zheng Liyi, the head of the Zheng family's guards, both of whom were Zheng Ming's cronies.

"Originally, it was planned to throw these two positions out to calm the anger. But it's not done, what should I do? Zheng Meng looked up and asked.

"Someone is helping Zheng Sheng and Zheng Shang get out. Xie Yili is looking up who this person is. ”

"In addition, Zheng Sheng suddenly changed his route, thanking them for not having time to change the layout."

"Really? This is not a reason to fail. If it doesn't work, it just doesn't work. Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. Has he forgotten that his 900 lives are in my hands? ”

"Xie Yili said that there is something wrong inside, and he will explain it to the young master."

"Then I'll see."

Zheng Sheng went home, but his mood was not relaxed. He said goodbye to Madame Wang and returned to the courtyard.

He was ready to start implementing the plan he had thought all the way through.

But back in the courtyard, the first problem he faced was Qing'er. Zheng Sheng hasn't come back for nearly two months, and Qing'er almost feels that Zheng Sheng doesn't want her anymore.

After appeasing Qing'er. Zheng Sheng learned that the house on the west side had been built. However, Zheng Sheng already has a new plan. The house on the west side can only be used for the time being.

Mrs. Han and Wang Ru hit it off at first sight and stayed at the manor. And Zheng Shang was taken back to the other courtyard by Zheng Sheng.

The day after his return, Zheng Sheng summoned Zheng Shang, Zheng Quan, Li Anjian, Wang Jun, and Song Zhi to a meeting.

Zheng Sheng was a little worried, there were too few people.

However, the number of people does not affect the development of the plan.

"On that day, we were defeated by a few homeless people, are you ashamed?"

Wang Jun and Song Zhi were silent, and Zheng Cheng's face flushed, "Shizi, we are children, they are adults." ”

"Yes, we are children, they are adults. But when an adult beats a child, will he reason with you? ”

Zheng Cheng shook his head.

"I shot a few people with a crossbow, and Sniff even shot that Qi Mazi to death. This shows that children can deal with adults too. ”

"But we don't have a crossbow." Zheng Cheng continued.

"The crossbow will do. But the crossbow is, after all, an external force. Without the crossbow, we are still weak. So, in order to defeat the enemy, we need to intensify our workouts. ”

Zheng Cheng cried with a sad face: "It turned out to be to strengthen training." ”

"Do you still want to be cut down, lying on the ground, and almost bleeding to death?" Zheng Sheng asked suddenly. "I used to think I was safe and sound, just living well. But ten outcasts almost killed us. We must be prepared for danger in times of peace, now exercise is no longer enough, exercise is just to strengthen the body. We have to practice martial arts. ”

"Now we have too few people. We're going to have to recruit people. ”

"You can't stop learning. However, in the future, our focus will be on martial arts. ”

"To stop being bullied! To protect ourselves! Let's do it! ”

Zheng Sheng has been thinking about how to build a qualified army for the past two days.

Since the long-term goal is to become a loyal and reliable army that can fight tough battles in troubled times, Zheng Sheng's current training naturally cannot be as casual as before.

He also wants to instill some new ideas in them.

Zheng Sheng found that the army at this time paid the most attention to personal bravery. The army commanders at the grassroots level can stand firm and gain the trust of the soldiers by virtue of their bravery that is higher than that of ordinary soldiers.

For example, Father Zheng, he slowly rose up from the chief who was in charge of ten people and relied on his own bravery.

As for why the governors of the Jin State who now control the military power of one state or even several states are all royal families, this is the result of the national policy of the Jin State to use the imperial family to control the military power. Even the middle and upper echelons of the army are now mostly played by the descendants of clans and generals. But the brave are still the core strength of the army.

However, Zheng Sheng is ready to instill the team's thoughts.

The power of unity is endless. Now he wants to build an army capable of defeating the nomadic cavalry, and it is unrealistic to rely on personal bravery. The personal strength of the Hu people was generally stronger than that of the Han people, especially because of the characteristics of the cavalry coming and going like the wind, the infantry of the Han people was often difficult to resist.

However, it is not impossible. The Han infantry united, formed a close formation, overcame fear, fired long-range with crossbows, and fought close with guns and knives, and did not dare to act rashly even if the cavalry wanted.

In addition, there is command and obedience.

Zheng Sheng didn't know how the army was commanded in ancient times, and the people around him were not familiar with it. But in modern times, he is familiar with it, and only by giving orders and commanding well can an army coordinate its operation from top to bottom, and the absolute obedience of soldiers to orders can make them fearless of life and death on the road ahead. He felt that all of these could be tried.

In the end, the most important thing is what kind of army he wants to build. Zheng Sheng thought a lot, and a lot of film and television images that he almost forgot appeared in his mind: light cavalry? There are no horses, Nanyang horses are thin and have poor endurance, so they can't be used. Bows, spears, swords and shields seem to be all available for experimentation.

Still, these are too far away.

He only has four people now, what weapon should he take? Unified? It doesn't fit.

Let's let everyone choose the one that's easy for everyone!

Then Zheng Sheng thought again, weapons? Where are the weapons? They don't even have wooden weapons.

Everything has to start from scratch.

Zheng Sheng asked everyone to report the weapons they wanted to use. Zheng Quan wrote a spear, Li Anjian was a sword, Zheng Shang and Wang Jun were swords, and Song Zhi was a bow.

"You use a bow?" Zheng Sheng looked at Song Zhi.

"My family used to be Orion." Song Zhi explained.

"I can only use my sword, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wield other weapons." Wang Jun smiled bitterly. Zheng Sheng looked at his body, which really didn't look like the material for holding a weapon, "You should eat more meat." ”

Zheng Shang thought for a moment and said, "I like swords. "The argument is strong.

Li Anjian: "I see that Donggu is very good at chopping firewood, and I want to learn it." "It's really unproductive! Do you want to learn how to chop wood?

Zheng Quan: "Gun Commander! ”

Zheng Sheng was speechless, but in any case, the initial composition of this team was a few of them. Zheng Sheng entrusted the carpenter Li of Lijia Village to make weapons for them, two wooden guns, a wooden knife, and two wooden swords. Carpenter Li readily agreed, and he would send the finished things the day after tomorrow. As for the bow, Song Zhi said that he would make a hunting bow himself, and it was the most suitable to make it himself. Zheng Sheng had no choice but to follow his wishes.

Then, Zheng Sheng made up his mind.

That night, Zheng Sheng walked into his room. The old man had gone to bed.

He stood a few steps away from the head of Bubo's bed and saluted respectfully: "Bubo, I have thought about it." ”

After waiting for a long time, a hoarse and low voice came from the bed: "Originally...... I promise...... Zheng Pingzhi has done two of the three things. The third one was forwarded to his wife, Wang, who in turn forwarded it to you. "Bubo can speak, he just hasn't spoken. Speaking today, his voice was choppy at first, not very smooth. But after saying two words, his voice became louder and louder, and it became no different from ordinary people.

Bu Bo sat up and looked at Zheng Sheng with cloudy eyes: "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”

Zheng Sheng saluted again: "I want to learn martial arts!" Please teach me. ”

Bu Bo was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay." I teach you. However, my martial arts are military skills, and they are the art of fighting. You have to be prepared. ”

"Thank you, Master." Zheng Sheng saluted again.

"You don't have to call me Master, I'm just fulfilling my promise." Bubo lay down and ignored him.

Zheng Sheng quietly walked out and breathed a sigh of relief.

He went back to his room, feeling excited.

Bu Bo is a master of combat skills!

This is what Wang Ru told Zheng Sheng when he left the manor this year. No matter how stupid or stupid Mrs. Wang is, she will not be at ease enough to throw her seven-year-old son and two children of the same age into a village more than ten miles away. Bubo is his bodyguard.

This former soldier on the battlefield is an old acquaintance of Father Zheng. How powerful, Mrs. Wang doesn't know. Then for some reason, he was left by Daddy Zheng. Later, he followed him to Ba County, and then to Nanyang. Zheng Tan went to Youzhou and left him with Madame Wang as a guard.

As for why Bu Bo promised to do three things for Father Zheng, Wang Ru didn't know, and Zheng Sheng didn't know.

But now, the last promise is about to be used by Zheng Sheng, and Bu Bo wants to teach Zheng Sheng to practice martial arts and practice the art of killing people on the battlefield!
