Listening to Xu Er's words, Xu Shiyang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

'What do you mean to give you my flesh?' Why does this sound so scary? ’

However, Xu Er, this kid is really clever, and his propaganda this time brought Xu Shiyang's small favor to the greatest effect.

Well, it looks like we could give him some other work. ’

For example, Xu Shiyang himself was embarrassed to come forward to praise ......, ah no, it was propaganda work.

……

"The castle lord is such a good man."

Zhao Shan put the only small piece of white flour steamed cake into her mouth, and muttered quietly while chewing it carefully.

The last time she ate steamed cakes, her parents, brother and younger brother were still there, and in the blink of an eye, everything was wrong, and Zhao Shan had to do her best to survive with her sister Zhao Shan.

"He's not a good guy." Zhao Lin didn't have so much emotion, this girl who hadn't grown up didn't care about it: "It's just an invitation to buy the military heart." ”

"But it's okay, these days, only this kind of person can live like a person. Sister, you promised Mama Rong that you did the right thing. ”

"Linlin, you! What nonsense are you talking about! Hearing this, Zhao Shan's face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.

"Tell me about your marriage, sister." Zhao Lin still had an indifferent tone: "If it was the time when the Great Zhou was in full swing, I would not agree with my sister to marry this kind of person anyway, Xu Shiyang is a thief in the prosperous world, a hero in troubled times, you will not be happy if you marry him." ”

"But now is not a prosperous age, if you marry this kind of hero, at least we have a chance to take revenge."

Zhao Shan put down the wooden bowl in her hand and hugged the thin Zhao Lin in her arms: "Linlin, don't force yourself, you're a girl......." ”

"If I were a man, 13 would be enough to die on the other side of the dock wall." Zhao Lin pushed her sister away and said in a deep voice: "Then you don't need to know how miserable a woman's fate is in troubled times." ”

"Linlin, you ......."

"You bad boy!"

Zhao Shan pulled her into her arms again, rubbed her hands on Zhao Lin's head, and rubbed her sister's hair up.

"Ahhh......h

㘗㘗㘗!

A sharp whistle sounded, and then the male soldier came from Xu Shiyang's personal urging: "Prepare to go!" Hurry up and get ready to go! ”

Zhao Shan let go of Zhao Lin and said gently: "Linlin, don't always talk about me, what about you?" You always want revenge, so how will you marry in the future. ”

"Hurry up and prepare, have you forgotten the military discipline he set? If the whistle is sounded three times, he will not be punished. ”

"Yikes! I almost forgot! Hurry up and pack up! ”

"Sister."

"Huh?"

"If no one really wants me, then I will marry him too."

"Huh!?"

"Sister, you are so gentle, in the future, he will marry the eldest woman and you will feel good." Zhao Lin snorted and said, "Our sisters still have a care together, it's just too cheap that bastard!" ”

"What the hell are you talking nonsense, you bad boy!?"

……

The rate of human progress is fast.

After the chaos of the first day, the Xu army changed its marching methods.

The soldiers of the whole army were divided into two groups, and marched in the barren fields on both sides of the road, giving the middle official road to the mule, horse and cart of the baggage team.

Although the official road has fallen into disrepair and the road surface has become potholed, there is still a road that does not wear out the hooves of the animals too much, and can also lighten the burden on the large vehicles without shock absorbers.

The fields on both sides of the road have long been barren, and when winter approaches, the grass and trees have withered and yellowed, and there are not many obstacles for people to walk on them.

Although only the shape of the marching army has been improved a little, this arrangement has indeed made the queue of the Xu Jiajun a lot more rigorous - the long snake formation that stretched for nearly 10 miles on the first day has been shortened to almost one-third.

In this case, Xu Shiyang's department, which was considered to have quite high combat effectiveness, was arranged at the front, and Xu Shisong, who was full of fighting spirit, across the official road, and advanced side by side.

Xu Shiyang rode on an honest over-the-top horse, and tried his best to let all the militia in the fifteenth tun see himself - this is also the characteristic of the Wubao militia, they have no big flag, and the best way to boost morale is to let everyone know that the castle owner always takes the lead, rather than using the militia as cannon fodder.

In fact, along the way, Xu Shiyang probably summarized some of the characteristics of the militia units in Wubao in this era:

1. The combat effectiveness is very weak, but in fact, it has not degenerated to the point of "those who see thieves fleeing are brave, those who flee from the wind are brave, and those who mishear the fugitives are brave".

In fact, if it was to hold the fort, the courage of the militia was quite sufficient.

For example, Zhao Shan, Zhao Lin's Zhaojiatun Fort, according to the surviving militia rescued by Xu Shiyang from the Tartars, the Tartars came very suddenly, almost without warning, and dozens of cavalry rushed into the fort from the gate at once.

Even so, the main management personnel of the dock fort, such as the lord of the dock fort, the son of the lord of the dock fort, the younger brother, and the nephew, still mustered up the courage to fight back desperately, and it was not until all the men died in battle that the Tartars really won the victory.

Not to mention the actual results, at least the courage to defend the homeland is still worthy of admiration.

2. Although it is tired, but the slightly larger Haoqiang family, the population is actually quite large, the Xu family is the first in Juzhou, and nearly 4,000 people can be dispatched under the condition of extreme mobilization, so many states and counties in Qi Province, plus those medium-sized families with only a few dock forts and only one dock fort and a large number of homeless groups .......

If someone can unite them all, and then have a stable production environment, just one place, the theoretical strength will not be under the Tartars outside the Guan!

3. The organizational situation of the Wubao militia seems to be very similar to that of the Hunan army and the Huai army at the end of the Qing Dynasty in the previous life - the rank of officers is linked by clan kinship, and the soldiers are tenant farmers in the same village as the officers.

Such an army organization has a long history in the history of the previous life, the Xianghuai Army is essentially a variant of Qi Jiguang's training camp, and the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty are actually a combination of Qi Dashuai's training camp and the Ming Dynasty's military household system - the so-called Niu Lu is equivalent to a hundred households, Bayala is equivalent to a pro-soldier, a family ding, and other low-level soldiers in the same village are actually half-ploughing and half-soldier serfs.

As an aside, it seems that when the wild boar skin was used as a dog by Li Chengliang, he learned a lot of things.

Such a militia unit has a certain foundation of discipline and its officers are quite authoritative, and if it is really organized, as long as it does not encounter an enemy with a large generation gap like the great powers in the previous life, even if it is a stubborn battle, it will be a rather difficult opponent.

If there is a Qi Jiguang-style commander, they can even sweep all the enemies of the same level!

Of course, what Xu Shiyang ultimately wanted was a modern army or even a modern army that had a generational advantage over the feudal army.

However, under the premise that the objective conditions cannot be met, if these feudal militias can be used well, there should be no problem at least gaining a firm foothold.
