After the Liu Dahulu incident, the new annexed army was all terrified and completely settled. After more than 10 days of screening, a total of 257 people passed the verification and were incorporated into the camp. In this way, Zhao Hunt had 500 soldiers. The rest of the nearly 1,000 soldiers, half of them auxiliaries and half of them, all joined the Dragon Bird Army. According to the calculation of the strength of this era, Zhao Lie had more than 1,500 soldiers and horses.

More than 1,200 people, only a fraction of the final passes, the prudence of screening, the strictness of the inspection, can be imagined.

After occupying the Wan'an Army and annihilating Ma Fuji, the Dragon Bird Army will face a large-scale attack and retaliation by the Yuan Army at any time. Zhao Lie's top priorities at the moment are to build a city, train troops, and manufacture weapons.

There are a number of famous craftsmen in charge of manufacturing weapons, and professional things are handed over to professional people, and Zhao Lie can let go.

The fortification of the city was mainly built by auxiliaries, servants and conscripted natives of the time. The total area of the military city is only 13 acres, which is equivalent to the size of a standard football field in later generations, and the width of the city is one zhang and three feet, and the height is one zhang and five feet. There is sand and gravel on the beach, and there is clay and lime in the mountains around Wan'an Army, which is easy to take and transport. Director Guo Chenggui expects it to be completed in two months.

In this way, the last thing left that needs to be done by Zhao Lie himself is military training.

There must be a charter for military training. In the past, Zhao Lie's soldiers were not more than 100, and nearly half of them were brought by a few generals who took refuge, coupled with the haste of time, environmental restrictions and other reasons, most of them were simple training. The main thing is to be familiar with firearms, basically master loading ammunition and firing, and achieve the purpose of battle.

At present, there are more than 500 soldiers under Zhao Lie's command alone, and there are no less than 300 auxiliary soldiers, and these soldiers must be included in the training plan, which requires a charter, a detailed training regulations, a reward and punishment mechanism, and a promotion and promotion system. Only in this way will it be an upward regular army and not a grass-headed army.

The Great Song Dynasty army has a very detailed plan for the selection, training, platooning and allocation of troops, and Jiang Fenglie, who was born in the sect, explained to Zhao Lie one by one.

"Selecting soldiers, the forbidden army at the beginning of this dynasty (Northern Song Dynasty) was the strictest. When fighting in the army, the bow and crossbow are the first, and the infantry needs to open one stone and five buckets of bows (equivalent to 122 kilograms), and the crossbow must open seven stones before they can be selected. ”

"It is also divided into upper, middle and last three classes in archery. A small number of horses were allocated to the superior soldiers, and the inferior forbidden army even had those who were responsible for chores. Sixty steps to shoot a long battlement, six arrows and three hits are the best, the material is thousand, with a war horse, for the knight. The one who hits the two of the six arrows is inferior, and the material money is seven hundred, which is the step armor. The one who hits one of the six arrows is the last, and the money is three hundred, and he is a conscript. Half a year later, if the retest is re-examined, and the second shot misses, the knight is demoted to infantry armor, and the conscripts are divided into box troops. Those who perform well will be promoted ......"

"At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty (Southern Song Dynasty), brave men were recruited to serve as ministers and utility. The effectiveness is also divided into three classes: "the first class shoots the bow with one stone and one bucket, the horse shoots nine buckets, and the material is thousand; The second class shot a bow with one stone, and the horse shot eight buckets, and the material money was seven hundred; The third class shoots nine buckets of bows, and seven buckets of horses, and the material money is five hundred. The amount of money is equivalent to the sergeants of the upper and middle forbidden armies. ”

Zhao Lie listened to it bluntly, obediently, fired a bow of more than 100 kilograms, shot 8 or 90 meters, and the hit rate was 50 percent. Strong enough!

However, Jiang Fenglie then explained, most of the above are special practice bows for selection, and everyone is afraid that the bow is not strong, and they compete to use heavy bows, which is already the upper limit of bow strength. And when you actually fight, you don't actually need such a heavy bow. It will probably be reduced by two to three buckets on this basis.

Zhao Lie thought about it, the game only shot six arrows, and the shooting was a grass target, there was no psychological pressure in battle, and it was normal to play normally or even play extraordinarily. When you really go to the battlefield, it's common to shoot thirty or forty. Take a strong bow with the upper limit of physical strength, and it's no wonder that you don't waste your hands in a battle.

After listening to Jiang Fenglie's narration, Zhao Lie was surprised, he couldn't imagine that the Song Dynasty already had such an advanced selection and incentive mechanism, and even the last elimination system commonly used by enterprises in later generations. In this case, you don't have to think too much about it, just use it if you have a ready-made one. Of course, you have to add something of your own.

So after Zhao Lie's proposal, the generals discussed and passed, and the Dragon Bird Army was also designated as the upper, middle and lower third-class.

Taking musketeers as an example, they are divided into three classes according to their training results: 60 steps of half-body target, 10 rounds and 7 hits are of the upper class, and a round bronze medal of the senior soldier is worn, and the material money is 500; Ten rounds and five middle schools are medium, and a second-class soldier iron medal is worn, and the material money is three hundred; Ten shots and three middle schools are inferior, no badges, and the money is hundred.

Due to the slow rate of fire of the musket, the city is well defended, and it can be defended against the wall, but if you encounter the enemy in the field, you need to be protected by cold weapons. At this time, the melee infantry of the Great Song Dynasty was dominated by spear players, holding a spear in one hand and an infantry side card (a trapezoidal shield with a wide upper and a sharp bottom) in the other. When engaging the enemy, use a short gun as a bracket to support the side card to resist the impact of the enemy soldier and slash and stab, stab the enemy with a gun in both hands, or hold a gun with one hand to block the card and stab the enemy with a gun. Similar to the Spartans' spear and shield combo.

Zhao Hunt also thought it was good, and decided to set up half musketeers and half gun players in each team. Such a "spear and shield combined technique" can be regarded as invincible in field warfare in this era.

The assessment of the gun player is also similar to that of the musketeer, sprinting from 20 paces away, and the number of times he stabs the enemy soldier is graded, with 7 out of 10 being superior, 5 out of 10 being medium, and 3 out of 10 being inferior. Badges are treated like musketeers.

Each level of soldiers is not static, every two months assessment, unqualified candidates make up the examination, still unqualified demoted, down to auxiliary soldiers, and those who have risen grades are promoted. Those who are outstanding can apply or be recommended by their superiors to join the special combat team "Thunder Team". Those who pass the strict examination (culture, loyalty, and political examination) will be qualified to join the team. As a result, a benign competition mechanism is formed. As for the evaluation and promotion of officers, it is not yet time, so let's improve it slowly.

The Thunder Squad is a fully breech-loading gun unit newly formed by Zhao Lie. After Guo Dajiang and the craftsmen tackled the problems day and night, after the double-barreled shotgun, the revolver also has a sample, and after further improvement, mass production is just around the corner. With the efforts of these top craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, I believe that in the near future, three-shot shotguns and May Fourth pistols will appear one by one.

Yuan Yu is rampant, Song is declining, Jedi is fighting back, and time is running out. Zhao Lie couldn't just count on a group of teenagers who hadn't grown up yet, he had to form another full breech gun unit. This unit must be the elite of the whole army. Due to the limitation of raw materials, the size of this force cannot be too large, at most a few hundred people, so it is necessary to select the best of the best, and it is better to have a shortage than an indiscriminate.

The first batch of members of the Thunder Clan has been put in place, and the number is less than that of the junior clan, only twelve people, including Jueyuan, Yang Zheng and other five of the twenty-three righteous brothers who originally followed Chen Jizhou to resist Yuan, they are all from the Zhongshun team - the white guards are Jiang Fenglie's personal guards, but the Zhongshun army is not, they are just recruited warriors, and they are not loyal to that one main general. Of course, if you want to join the Thunder team, you must swear allegiance to Zhao Lie, which is a hard and fast rule and is non-negotiable.

Of the hundreds of people in the camp, only five were selected. The new annex is not yet eligible to apply.

Zhao Lie is not in a hurry, anyway, his firearms have not been fully developed, so he will be assessed while developing them, and take his time.

Shi Yang mostly agreed with Zhao Lie's new training regulations, but he had doubts about one of them: "Why is the money so small?" The superior sergeant is not yet as effective as the second class? I'm so afraid that I won't be able to recruit a hero! ”

Zhao Lie asked rhetorically: "Has the Yuan Yu paid a monthly salary for the new attached army?" ”

Shi Yang shook his head.

"I pay money and monthly salary, why do the officers and soldiers have repeatedly defeated the Shangyuan army? And after surrendering to the Yuan captives, the new annexed army changed its appearance as a sheep and showed its tiger and wolf nature? ”

Shi Yang didn't think about it: "Naturally, it's because of the rich reward ......"

"That's right! How can dead wages be paid more for more work? Zhao Lie blurted out a sentence of the truth of the future generations that the generals present were completely confused, stood up on the ground, and shouted, "Therefore, our army must also implement the system of rewarding military merits." Whether you are a hero or a bad man, whether you want to eat meat or drink soup, see the truth on the battlefield! ”
