During the conversation, the soldiers came to report, and Lin Chong, the commander of the training camp of the escort regiment, took Yang Zhi and Xu Ning to the county office.

Song Shijiang was overjoyed and said, "Please come in, generals." ”

The three of them entered the hall. Looking at the three generals, the first one is a leopard with a head and eyes, a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, more than eight feet tall, wearing a Danlu Luo Tuanhua robe, hanging bright silver armor, his face is slightly haggard and still shining, not the leopard head Lin Chong. The three of them arched their hands together and said, "I've seen all the brothers." ”

Lin Chong continued: "Brother Song Jiang, the three of us have been busy for a few days, and the recruitment and training have been roughly completed. ”

Song Shijiang was overjoyed and said, "General Lin, let's talk carefully." ”

Lin Chong said: "So that my brother knows, as of today, my Liangshan has collected 1,183 original Yellow Turban soldiers, and then summoned 812 Yellow Turban soldiers, recruited 497 people from Shouzhang, and collected 1,120 people, with a total of 3,612 soldiers. Later, more than 500 people who were traitors and criminals, who were lazy and disgusting, who did not live up to military orders, and who were frail and old, were eliminated, and there were 3,093 soldiers left. ”

Song Shijiang said: "The three generals who worked hard, I don't know what the specific situation of the soldiers is?" ”

Lin Chong replied: "Most of the soldiers recruited this time are young and strong, mainly farmers and small people. There are few people who are rough in martial arts; There are few literate and literate people; There are about 500 people who can ride horses, most of them are yellow turban soldiers; There are not many good shooters, no more than 300 people who can shoot three out of ten, and most of them are hunters in the mountains; There are even fewer good swimmers, no more than 200 people. ”

Song Shijiang sighed: "Humanity is that the resources of the late Han Dynasty are all in the hands of the family, which is true. Compared with my Great Song Dynasty, the wisdom of the Later Han Dynasty has not been opened, how can ordinary people be literate and practice martial arts. It seems that we have a long way to go, and of course this is not an opportunity. Song Shijiang sighed, and then said to Yang Zhi: "General Yang, you go and beat the drum and gather all the brothers to come to the meeting." ”

The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi arched his hand: "Obey the order"

Before the Santong drum arrived, eighty or ninety Liangshan heroes in Shouzhang had gathered in front of the county government hall. The county hall was insufficient, so Song Shijiang simply stood on the front steps of the hall, and all the brothers gathered at the bottom of the steps.

Song Shijiang clasped his fists with both hands, and said to Haojie in a loud voice: "Brothers, this time we have obtained Shouzhang, recruited troops and bought horses, and taken a firm first step for our great cause. Ranshou Zhang is a small county, not many soldiers have been recruited, a total of 3,000 people, we can only use it at our discretion, in order to grow and develop. I command! ”

The brothers clasped their fists and shouted: "Here." ”

Song Shijiang ordered: "I order: All the brothers of the family, except for one cadre and each deacon, are all generals under the Shouzhang Guard. A certain and General Lu served as the chief and deputy commander of the escort army, Wu Yonggongsun was competent as the left and right military division of the escort army, and Zhu Wu served as the counselor of the escort army. ”

After saying this, Song Shijiang paused and said: "Order Dadao Guan Sheng to be the commander of the first battalion of the Horse Army of the Escort Army, and praise Hao Siwen Zuozhi." You waited until the Lin Chong training camp to select 400 men and horses, stationed at the north gate, and practiced diligently, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Dadao Guan Sheng and Choujun Ma Xuanzan Jingmu Qian Hao Siwen came out of the ranks, saluted with both hands in fists, and responded in a deep voice: "Obey." Then he turned around and went straight to Lin Chong and said, "Sect head Lin, it's hard to choose soldiers." Lin Chong smiled back: "It's my duty, why bother." A certain self-determination will choose a son who can ride and shoot well for the Guan family's brother......"

Song Shijiang continued: "Ordered Thunderbolt Qin Ming to be the commander of the second battalion of the Horse Army of the Escort Army, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo Zuozhi. You and others also went to Lin Chong's training camp to select 400 people, stationed at the west gate, and practiced diligently, so that there could be no mistakes. ”

Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming and Shan Tinggui Wei Dingguo, the second general of Shui Huo, came out of the ranks, and responded loudly: "Obey." After the order was completed, he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Brother Lin Chong, you have to leave some good soldiers and horses for the younger brother." The heroes laughed, and Lin Chong also returned the salute: "Brother Qin Ming, this is natural." Lin must pick up a good son for his brother. ”

Song Shijiang also laughed, and then said: "Generals, at present, the number of people is limited, and the temporary allocation of these is not very elite, and everything needs to be trained and strengthened by the generals themselves." The heroes all responded to this, and waited quietly for the heroes, Song Shijiang continued to order: "Order the double whip Hu Yanzhuo to be the commander of the third battalion of the horse army of the escort army, and the general of Baisheng Han Xuantianmu Peng Xi Zuozhi." You waited until the Lin Chong training camp to select 400 people, stationed at the east gate, and practiced diligently, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"Ordered the double-gun general Dong Ping to be the commander of the fourth battalion of the Horse Army of the Guards, Ou Peng and Deng Feizuozhi. Wait until the Lin Chong training camp to select 400 people, garrison the south gate, and practice diligently, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Hu Yanzhuo and Dong Pingju and the deputy general fought together: "Obey." ”

"The flower monk Lu Zhishen is the chief general of the first battalion of the escort army, Wu Song, the commander of the second battalion of the escort army, and the rest of the infantry leaders are Zuozhi, and the two brothers have selected four hundred soldiers and soldiers, set up camp in the main military camp, practice up, and boil their skills, there must be no mistakes."

"Order Li Jun, the commander of the first battalion of the Guardian Army, and the rest of the leaders of the Navy, select good water soldiers to enter the camp, return to our Shuibo Liangshan to garrison, build a warship, refine the water nature, and there must be no mistakes."

The leader of the first infantry army and the navy army should respond: "Obey." ”

Song Shijiang continued: "The above military horses are temporarily our main battle corps in Liangshan, and I hope that all the generals will do their best to work together for our great cause." The generals responded: "I am willing to die for Liangshan." ”

"Thank you, brothers. In addition, Liangshan is our foundation, there are a lot of cottages and soldiers, grain and grass, negligence is not allowed, although there is a naval army on the side also needs to be heavily guarded, a certain weighed one or two and then decided to build a Liangshan garrison camp. The commander of the garrison battalion ......" Song Jiang looked at the patrol group, and finally stared at the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, and said: "General Yang Zhi, I know that you have the style of your ancestors, you are smart and shrewd, and you have far-reaching thoughts, and you will have no worries when entrusted by Liangshan." ”

Yang Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly flashed out from Lin Chong's side, and said deeply: "Junior brother deeply thanks Brother Song Jiang for his trust, and he will do his best to defend my Liangshan foundation." ”

"In addition, set up a guard battalion, the main general Hua Rong, and the deputy general Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Kong Ming, Kong Liang."

"Set up a special combat regiment card battalion, the main general Li Kui, and the deputy generals Bao Xu, Xiang Chong and Li Gon."

"Set up a special combat mountain battalion, and the main general will solve the treasures."

"Set up a camp to explore the sound, the main general Dai Zong, the deputy general Le and Shi Qian."

"Set up a firearm blasting battalion, and the main general is Ling Zhen."

"Set up a medical aid camp, the main general Hu Sanniang, and the divine doctor An Daoquan guides"

Song Shijiang issued many orders in one go, and although the generals couldn't think about it, the names all responded in unison: "Obey." Song Shijiang paused and continued: "I, Liangshan, have a deep mandate of heaven, you and I have a long and heavy responsibility, since I have gone down the mountain to occupy the county and enter the city, become an army and build a camp, all the leaders should abide by the discipline and do not disobey it." Today, I announce the two sides of the military discipline of my Liangshan and Shouzhang Guards, one side of the "Seventeen Forbidden Laws of the Shouzhang Guards", and the other side of the "Three Disciplines and Eight Notes of the Shouzhang Guards", one detailed and one concise, one article and one white, I hope that the brothers will read and recite it well, keep it in mind, and discipline themselves to make the iron army invincible. ”

"The special department is in charge of the military and political supervision department for rewarding and punishing meritorious service, and all those who violate discipline and make meritorious service will be rewarded and executed, and this department will be responsible for the punishment. Director of the Supervision Department, iron-faced Pei Xuan. ”

The iron-faced face was not in Shouzhang before, and it was only after receiving Song Jiang's order the day before that he went down to Liangshan. I saw him walk out of the queue slowly, gently waved at Song Jiang, and said in a deep voice: "Yes." "Right, get up, turn around, and arch his hand to the brothers of the Quartet and say: "Brothers, the leader of the Song Dynasty has ordered Pei to be in charge of military discipline and set rewards and punishments, I believe that the brothers of all families also know Pei's character, and he will live up to the trust of the leader. ”

All the generals were awe-inspiring, and they all clenched their fists and said, "Yes." "The order has been decided, the order is over, and everyone goes to Lin Chong's training camp to select people, so Lin Chong and Xu Ning's camp has become the most lively place on this day, and the details are not detailed one by one.
