When the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion gathered in front of the warehouse with their wives and children after a day's drill, they were stunned when they looked at the piles of grain as high as a hill. Many people have never seen so much food in their lives, not to mention that these grains belong to them, making them feel like they are in a dream. But then the problem is how to move so much food, even if all of them are moved, the current residence will not be able to pile up......

"It can be converted into two ......taels of silver," the soldier guarding the treasury said casually, but was quickly met with a blank eye. Due to the thieves all over the place, the silver taels here have become glowing stones, useless, and the ghosts will exchange the grain for silver, but what if you don't exchange it, what if you don't exchange so much food?

Seeing that everyone was worried, a local woman from Meihe Town walked out and timidly said to a Jingwei battalion soldier: "This master, do you have any work at home that needs help?" Take care of the elderly and children or something? I don't ask for more, I just ask for three liters of rice (4.5 catties) a day......"

"Uh......" When the soldiers of the Jingwei battalion heard this, they felt that this method was good, there were still old and young people at home who needed to be taken care of, and they often practiced in the army to go out on expeditions, so it was inevitable that they would not take care of it well, and they couldn't eat enough food, so why not hire someone to take care of their wives and children at home?

"Okay, come with me, and I'll give you an extra lunch." So saying, he called his wife and children to the woman, and asked them to discuss the need for help.

When the rest of the local people saw this, they immediately became active, and began to grind the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion, and the headache of the problem of food and material stacking was temporarily solved.

As everyone knows, this is just the beginning, in the near future, the wealth of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion is the envy of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and even the nobles, and it has also created a fierce atmosphere of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion who are not afraid of death, and an army of "nobles" composed of all civilians will sweep in all directions.

……

Under the banner of the Korean character, Liu Ce formed a pure bow battalion for the four hundred recruits personally selected by Han Feng, and at this moment he was shooting arrows in his hand under Han Feng's reprimand, but looking at the results of his shooting, Han Feng couldn't help but shake his head, but he kept in mind the training skills that Liu Ce taught him: "Archers are different from spearmen, training for ten days and a half and a few battles can become elite soldiers, a qualified archer unless he is talented, otherwise at least three or five years can not be trained, but a group of marksmen are difficult to train, But it shouldn't be difficult for you to train ten of these 400 people, and then these ten people will be the leader, and after training the angle and strength of the arrows, guide the other archers to follow, and then use the dense rain of arrows to suppress the enemy and not raise their heads. ”

Han Feng was born as a hunter since he was a child, and of course he understood the difficulty of archer training, and when he heard Liu Ce say this, he suddenly became cheerful, imagining the scene where the arrows shot by hundreds of people fell in front of the enemy's formation, and his blood suddenly boiled.

"Go on!" Han Feng let out a loud shout, and the archers, who were not yet archers, pulled their bowstrings again with sore hands. Fortunately, although the training was hard, the family members of each soldier who joined the Jingwei battalion received twenty taels of silver (no one wanted it anyway, Liu Ce simply sent these stones as a good person) and two stones of rice grain for settling-in expenses, and there was a monthly subsidy for rice and salt, and the most important thing was that the Jingwei battalion training had meat to eat almost every day.

Since recruiting new soldiers, Yang Fan, Chen Qing, Guo Tao, and Han Feng have all obtained a banner of men and horses as they wished, and all the banners, including veterans, are now full, except for Xu Hui's auxiliaries, now the whole battalion has a total of 3,200 soldiers, one banner has expanded from 300 to 350 people, Han Feng's department has 400 people, and if you count the 1,000 auxiliaries in Xu Hui's hands, it will exceed 4,000 people.

"This Jingwei battalion can really be regarded as a battalion now." Liu Ce hid in the house and watched the shouts of killing everywhere on the field, and a sense of pride arose in his heart. On the day of the end of the reward ceremony, more than 4,000 people frantically signed up for the Jingwei camp, and threatened to die if they were not allowed to join, but unfortunately after screening, only more than 1,000 people remained. Liu Ce's inner thought was that there were not many soldiers and elites, otherwise not to mention logistics supplies, this combat effectiveness alone would be greatly reduced.

"Drink, drink! Drink you bastard! In front of the table in the room, Qin Mo, Ye Bin, Xu Hui, Yang Kaishan, Feng Chounian, Feng Ying, Gao Laohan and Wu Liwen are all gathered around a huge round table, the table is full of fish, meat, vegetables, dried fruits, and there is a large porcelain pot in the middle, and the copper basin below is burning with a blazing charcoal fire, and the pot is boiling with boiling soup is boiling a full pot of mutton, and there are some green onions, garlic, ginger and wild vegetables and other condiments to remove the smell of mutton. Yang Kaishan saw Feng Chou Nian gnawing on a sheep bone, and kept pouring wine into his mouth, eating extremely ugly, and couldn't help but complain a few words, causing everyone to laugh.

In this era, if you want to enhance the goodwill between yourself and the soldiers, in addition to the system of rewards and punishments, it is inevitable that everyone will sit down to eat and drink together, and Liu Ce has the right to distribute the seized materials in his hands. With such a large reward being distributed, how could the soldiers below have the slightest complaint? Besides, what's wrong with opening a small stove? If the general doesn't steal or rob, what's wrong with eating and drinking with the seized materials? Did it give you one less grain of rice, or did it give you a cold? No, what else is there to say? What the? How many grains of rice did you sprinkle on the road? Get lost!

Seeing that everyone was laughing and laughing, Liu Ce raised his head and sucked the wine in the empty cup, the highest degree of wine in this world is only more than 20 degrees, in terms of the amount of alcohol in Liu Ce's previous life, it is really nothing.

"Mayor Wu." Liu Ce called slowly.

"The lower official is here." Wu Liwen has been unusually comfortable in the past few days, the military discipline of the Jingwei Battalion is strict, Qiu has not committed any crimes, and he has no trouble for himself, and finally let him regain the feeling of being an official before. Seeing Liu Ce calling him, he immediately got up and bowed.

"How many times have I said it, there is no need to make this big gift, I will be angry next time I do this." Liu Ce said with a smile, his impression of Wu Liwen was okay, although he was the head of a town, he had no official authority, and his courage was a little smaller, but after understanding it, the people's evaluation of him was okay.

"Yes! Again...... Three ...... penalties for alcohol Three bowls! Feng Chounian on the side said to Wu Liwen with a red face with a wine burp.

Liu Ce glared at Feng Chounian, and saw that he seemed to be drunk, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, and continued to say to Wu Liwen: "Mayor Wu, I heard you say that there are several bandits in the vicinity, and there are still many strongholds?"

Wu Liwen said: "Exactly, although Jin Heng's soldiers were defeated and killed, there are still many thieves stationed in the manor within a radius of dozens of miles. ”

Liu Ce nodded: "Mayor Wu, I recruited the people in the town into the camp without your consent, you don't blame me, right?"

Wu Liwen and Liu Ce have gotten along for the past few days, and they feel that this young man is very compatible as long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, so he said: "To be honest, the lower officials still have a lot of complaints, but now I have nothing to say, and I am even happy to see the people enter your Jingwei camp......"

"Oh? Why is that? Liu Ce suddenly became interested, and motioned for Wu Liwen to continue, and everyone at the table also stopped the dishes and chopsticks, wanting to hear what Wu Liwen had to say.

Wu Liwen smiled and said: "Before, I was still worried that the strong man's department was a thief, but it was just a black and black with the gold thief, but in the past few days, according to the inspection of the lower officials, the Jingwei battalion to which the strong man belongs is indeed strict in military discipline, and he has not committed any crimes against the people. ”

"Second, yesterday I paid tribute to the souls of the fallen soldiers and rewarded the meritorious people, and the lower officials all saw it in their eyes, which shows that the strong men are different from the thieves and those ...... Belch...... Those officers, who regarded human life as if they were a mustard, really shocked the subordinates. ”

"What about the third...... Wu Liwen glanced at Liu Ce and the others, and saw that everyone looked the same, so he said: "The people in the town took the initiative to join the general, although the lower officials are pedantic, but they are not unreasonable people, now that Heyuan is in chaos, it is normal for the people to have a reliance, and how can they be born to stop it?" ”

"Ha, Mayor Wu is a good official who loves the people like a son, and I Qin Mo respects you a cup."

"Come on, come on, I, Yang Kaishan, also toast you."

"Old Wu, come...... Dry ....... this bowl of wine...... Hiccup......"

"Mayor Wu is sensible, he should drink this wine, come and come, I, Ye Bin, rarely touch wine, drink a glass of myself first, you can do it yourself."

Facing everyone present pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Wu Liwen suddenly felt that there was light on his face, and he saluted one by one, and when he drank Liu Cejing's wine, his eyes were straight and his face was flushed.

After everyone sat down, Liu Ce said: "Although there is enough food and grass now, the military heart is stable, but we can't sit and eat empty because of this, the biggest reliance of my Jingwei battalion since the formation of the army is to raise soldiers with war, so we can have today's combat power, in addition to the soldiers who just entered the camp yesterday, the army trained by the new battalion began to explore the bandit strongholds within a radius of dozens of miles two days later, and gave me all the ones to be pulled out one by one, and exchanged for a peace in Meihe Town!" ”

"Yes!" Without waiting for Yang Kaishan to speak, the drunken Feng Chou Nian who was drinking next to him was the first to agree to come down, seeing that if he didn't look red and drunk, how could he still see that he was half drunk.

Liu Ce nodded, suddenly looked at everyone with a serious look, patted his head and smiled: "Look at my memory, I said that I would invite you to drink and eat, and talk about military affairs again, eat quickly, I can't waste food in the Jingwei camp, crazy man, Brother Yang, Lao Feng, you have a good appetite, eat more, Mr. Qin, you eat too, Mr. Ye, move chopsticks, Xu Hui, quickly fill up the wine for Mayor Wu, Gao Laohan, eat meat, everyone eats......"

After they were full of wine and food, everyone left to do their own business, but Feng Ying and Gao Laohan were stopped by Liu Ce.

"Lao Feng, did I tell you to build the same things as Gao Laohan?"

"Qi, in the past few days, you have recruited more than 500 strong people, plus more than 100 craftsmen before, six days ago, according to your orders, 2,300 spears were made, and another 3,000 spears were thrown, and the arrows were not easy to build, but there were also more than 4,000 plus the thieves' storehouse, a total of 15,000, 300 shields, and ...... waist knives."

Liu Ce waved his hand to stop Feng Ying from replying: "Old Feng, I already knew about these a few days ago, you directly told me how the progress of the ring head knife and the equipment was?"

Huanshou knife, a cavalry straight knife invented during the Han Dynasty in China to fight against the Xiongnu and the cavalry of the Rongbian nomads, has been used until the Tang Dynasty is a cavalry melee combat weapon. Of course, it has also been widely used in infantry, but the effect is far less than that of cavalry. The whole knife is about one meter long, the back of the knife is nearly one centimeter thick, the blade is 0.3 millimeters wide, the tip of the knife is slightly curved to facilitate cutting and stabbing, and a tough cloth or string is hung at the ring of the handle, which can be wrapped around the wrist of the knife holder to prevent slipping off when fighting, and the handle can still slash the enemy when the palm is detached.

The equipment or armor riding equipment originated in Central Asia in the 8th century before the park, and the prosperous period of China was from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the early Sui and Tang dynasties. His work was so elaborate that a set of man-mounted harness could cost almost thirty spearmen.

"Alas~ General, I took a look, this ring of the first knife is good to say, although it is a little difficult, but it will be done after a few more attempts, but this armor is equipped with ...... Alas~ With all due respect, it's difficult, it's too difficult~" Lao Feng was very amazed when he first saw the knife and armor drawn by Liu Ce, but later after experimenting with Gao Laohan, he realized that it was a bit difficult.

"What? Is it difficult? Liu Ce's eyes showed a little disappointment, now that the cavalry has been established, with the help of double stirrups and horseshoe, Liu Ce experimented with these captured military horses, and found that more than 300 of them can carry 600 catties of goods and slowly accelerate and run, and the rest of the war horses can also carry 400 catties of heavy grain and move without difficulty, it is understandable that the quality of horses in this world is better than that of horses in the original world, so he thought of forming a "tank" force to knock over all the sons of bitches head-on. But Feng Yinggao said that it was difficult to achieve, which hit him very hard, and he couldn't help but feel lost.

"General." Gao Laohan saw that Liu Ce was disappointed, so he comforted: "It is not difficult to realize the armor and riding equipment that the general envisioned, it is nothing more than to connect the armor leaves with iron armor and fix them with a strong rope to completely wrap all parts in the armor leaves, these old men know, but this project is time-consuming and laborious, the total weight of the human armor is nearly 80 catties, the full weight of the vest is 140 catties, and it takes at least 30 days to assemble a complete set of armor leaves, and now there are not so many iron materials to assemble 300 sets, even if the vest is wrought iron, it is not enough, Although there are tens of thousands of catties of fine iron now, there are still a lot of other items that need to be made, so please delay the general for a few more days? ”

When Liu Ce heard this, he knew that what Gao Laohan said was the truth, and it seemed that he was still too naïve, although this idea was put forward by himself, but the actual operator was Feng Yinggao, who had more say than himself, and knew how difficult the links were.

"That's it, in that case, let's put it aside for the time being, first make the ring head sword, make a set of iron armor for all the cavalry, and in addition, the cavalry spear manufacturing should also speed up the journey......"

……

Chen Qing finally had a troop of his own, and it was a cavalry, it was impossible not to be excited, he himself was extremely good at equestrianism, so when he learned that he was about to take over and train cavalry, even if he was excited and nervous. Naturally, he was excited to have his own banner and could lead the troops to fight like other flag commanders, and the nervous thing was that Liu Ce threw such a major burden on his shoulders and made him feel pressured.

Chen Qing understood what the role of a strong cavalry on the battlefield meant, so he always told those recruits what he knew without reservation, hoping to train a strong iron cavalry for Liu Ce's Jingwei battalion as soon as possible.

"Practice well! Don't be afraid of a few falls, it's better than losing your life on the battlefield! Clamp the horse's belly and let me run! In the open space outside the city gate, three hundred and fifty horsemen who could not yet be called cavalry were galloping on their horses under Chen Qing's urging, and bursts of dry dust were raised behind them.
