Chapter 67 - Training [Ask for Collection]
In Luoyang City, after some screening, there were still nearly 18,000 of the 20,000 people brought by Ma Jianying, and the army under Zhao Fan also underwent a reshuffle, and the personal guard battalion was supplemented by 1,000 people from the original Luoyang Mansion soldiers, and now it is an establishment of 3,000 people.
The other Shenbing, Shenyong, Shenji, and the five battalions of the Broken Army, each led 5,000 soldiers, and still used the original Shenwu Army as the core to act as grassroots officers.
The remaining 1,000 people were assigned to Fu Qinghe's men to act as logistics soldiers, according to Zhao Fan's idea, he wanted to draw a little more, but considering the current actual situation and the dissuasion of Qiao Xinchao and others, he still gave up this plan for the time being
Ma Jianying didn't have much idea about the current situation, from the moment he chose to be loyal to Zhao Fan, he was fully prepared, and the current ending was much better than he expected.
And Zhao Wei's recruitment of recruits is also in full swing, in view of the Luoyang Army's generous military salary and good welfare benefits, the recruitment quota of five thousand recruits was quickly swept away, and boxes of real money were exchanged for a group of screaming strong men, this deal Zhao Fan felt that it was still very cost-effective.
The repair work in Luoyang City is also underway, and the people in Luoyang City have burst out with extremely strong enthusiasm for repairing the city defense, after all, the construction of the city defense is directly related to their own lives, and they can't do child's play.
In addition, what surprised Zhao Fan was that after the people in Luoyang City knew that he was going to live in Ziwei Palace, they spontaneously repaired the imperial city, and all the materials and expenses were provided by several major families in the city, you must know that this is a lot of money.
Although I don't know what's going on, Zhao Fan knows that Wei Ruqian's contribution must be indispensable to this, as the head of the four major families in Luoyang City, she must have threaded the needle and thread in it to form the current situation.
On the other hand, Zhao Fan can also understand why the people and families of Luoyang City would make such a choice, the reason is very simple, it is nothing more than being scared by the Qin Zongquan army, one is to kill people and set fires, burn and loot.
Now there is finally a Zhao Fan, who is a serious relative of the emperor, a genuine prince, and dares to work against Qin Zongquan, with identity and strength, and it is also very good to them as ordinary people, then they will tidy up the imperial city and let him settle here, on the one hand, it is to repay Zhao Fan's contribution to Luoyang City, on the other hand, when Zhao Fan settles here, there is no need to worry that he will run away with people...
This is a manifestation of a lack of security, and it also reflects the simplicity of the people of Luoyang City, if it were not based on gratitude, the people would not choose to do this.
Everything is going according to plan, and a new power is emerging.
……
In the camp in the north of the city, although it was snowing heavily, the soldiers stationed here still did not relax in the slightest and insisted on the planned training every day.
In order to improve the physical fitness of the soldiers, Zhao Fan can be regarded as racking his brains, what weight-bearing long-distance running, hook ladder up and down training, boot wearing obstacles, arm strength training, all moved out in one go.
Fortunately, with the support of Fu Qinghe's logistics troops and the four major families, otherwise Zhao Fan would really not be able to put these trainings in place.
Fu Qinghe did not live up to Zhao Fan's expectations, and rushed to make thousands of heavy bags overnight, as well as hook ladders, and replaced them with stone locks without dumbbells, and finally set up the shelves.
Fortunately, the weather was cold at this time, otherwise Zhao Fan would have to drive this group of landlubbers into the water and practice swimming well.
After a piece of chickens and dogs jumped, he finally started training, and as the only one who knew how to use these equipment, Zhao Fan also personally participated in the daily training.
In the morning, I first took a 20-kilogram 5,000-meter sprint, then climbed the hook ladder 200 times back and forth, crossed the obstacle 300 times, and lifted the 30-pound stone lock 150 times, and then another wooden stick with a stone on one end, and held the wooden stick in place for an hour.
In the middle, there are also all kinds of stabbing training, shooting training, climbing training, and anti-hitting training, and mounted archery training, after a day of training, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even bearded and scarred these fierce generals can't stand it.
And Zhao Fan was even more miserable, in order to take the lead and lead by example, as the chief instructor, he also participated in the whole training, which made Zhao Fan, who was already weak and tender, feel that the bones and muscles of his whole body had been broken, and he didn't obey the call, but he still insisted on completing all the training.
But it was Zhao Fan's insistence that made the soldiers who originally felt a little complaining persevered, yes, you see that the prince is here to train with us, without the slightest retreat, so what can we complain about?
Of course, what makes these big-headed soldiers happiest is the braised pork once a day, which is meat! Ordinary people don't necessarily eat meat even during the New Year's holidays!
What now? Although the training was a little hard, they were able to eat a good meal of braised pork every day, accompanied by a delicious broth, and the last little complaint in the hearts of the soldiers was completely gone.
There's nothing that can't be solved with a braised pork, and if there is, it's one meal a day!
For this braised pork, Zhao Fan argued with Qiao Xinchao for a long time before he pulled out a budget from him, after all, this cost is very amazing!
But in order to keep the soldiers have enough physical strength to cope with high-intensity training, Zhao Fan has completely let go, after all, you can't expect a group of hungry and hungry men to train hard every day, right?
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Fan accompanies the soldiers to train together, eat and sleep together every day, not only his physical fitness has been greatly improved, but his prestige in the army has also risen to an unprecedented height.
Whether it's the Divine Barracks, or the Broken Barracks, or the Divine Warrior Battalion, you can't know who your commander is, but you can't not know who King Shou is!
In this way, unconsciously, Zhao Fan's existence was deeply seared into the soul of every soldier, and also established an absolute spiritual leader for this army.
Not only in training, Zhao Fan also carried out a comprehensive reform in the military system, abolishing the original system and implementing a new structure.
For every ten people, there is one tithe.
For every 100 people, there is a team leader.
There is a team of 1,000 people for every 1,000 people, and one for 1,000 households.
Every 5,000 people are a battalion, and the camp has a unified name.
In the future, there will be an army of 50,000 people and a commander, but it will not be needed for the time being.
All battalion commander-level officers are directly responsible to Zhao Fan, and if their superiors die in battle during the war, they will be directly replaced by the highest-ranking person present, which also avoids the situation of the death of the senior commander and the direct collapse of the entire army.
