Thinking of this, Duan Xing wanted to start training these soldiers in front of him. He knew that in the near future, a major war would definitely break out, and the most important thing at the moment was to understand all aspects of his own unit so that he could conduct targeted training. As the saying goes: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." So he asked one of the soldiers next to him, "Where is our camp?" The soldier pointed to a village not far away and replied to Duan Xing: "Go back to the hundred households, it's Xingyi Fort not far ahead." ”

After Duan Xing heard this, he ordered loudly: "Lead the way!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, and led the way. Duan Xing carried a knife and a group of soldiers followed, and after walking for a while, he saw a small town. "It's a pretty chic town. Duan Xing thought. As soon as he walked into the town, the first thing that caught his eye was a bamboo building, and after walking forward for a while, Duan Xing saw a number of simple houses, like ordinary houses in the south. In the center of this town, there is a large compound. Duan Xing looked at this place carefully: he saw that the ground was paved with bluestone, and there was a two-story wooden building in the middle. At this time, he thought that he would live here in the future, and he couldn't help but have some doubts.

After half a day of running-in, Duan Xing's soul has fully adapted to his current body, and from the memory of this body, he learned that the original owner of this body had been in martial arts, and it was only because of the chaos of the government and the lack of way to serve the country that the army training was wasted. It's good not a straw bale. He thought about it for a while, wanted to test the strength of this body, so he took a deep breath at the wooden bar on the weapon rack next to him and quickly slashed down. I only heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the wooden strip was broken into two. It seems that the strength is not small. Duan Xing thought.

Duan Xing then called Zhang Yi and said to him, "You go and call all the brothers, let them bring all their weapons and gather together, and then assemble here." "If you come, you will be safe, and the responsibility of training and defending the country must be borne no matter what, so as not to come in vain.

"Yes, Lord Hyakho." Zhang Yi responded, and then ran outside the town and shouted loudly into the distance: "The Lord of the Hundred Households has an order, all take out and bring out all the weapons, and gather in the patio of the fort." Hearing Zhang Yi's shout, the soldiers came one after another. Zhang Yi saw that everyone had arrived, so he came to Duan Xing, bowed his head to him, and said, "Lord Baihu, the brothers and weapons are here. After hearing this, Duan Xing patted Zhang Yi's shoulder and said, "It's hard work, you go down to join the ranks first." As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yi was listed.

Duan Xing walked to the steps in front of the main entrance of the wooden building and stood up, glanced at the soldiers with his eyes and said, "You are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and your duty to join the army is to protect the people and fight bravely to protect the country by killing the enemy. ”

Duan Xing saw that the soldiers in the audience looked puzzled, paused and asked, "Do you know about the Yue family's army's resistance to gold?" Raise your hand in knowing. As soon as the words fell, the audience began to whisper. One of the soldiers also raised his hand and said: "Lord Baihu, who doesn't know this, I won't tell you that my ancestor was still a member of the Yue family's army back then." ”

"Oh." Hearing this, Duan Xing couldn't help but glance at this soldier, walked up to him, and said happily and loudly, "Brother, may I ask what is your name?" ”

"Hui Baihu Lord, his subordinate is named Zheng Shigui, and his ancestor is Zheng Huai, the general of Runan, under Marshal Yue." The soldier said in a proud tone.

"Then it seems that you are the queen of Zhongliang." Duan Xing said on his lips, secretly surprised in his heart, the name Zheng Huai will feel very unfamiliar in the eyes of others, but for Duan Xing, who was well versed in literature and history and read many books in his previous life, it is like thunder, in "The Biography of Yue Fei" it is said that Zheng Huai is not only powerful, but also strong in martial arts. Thinking of this, Duan Xing asked tentatively: "Then do you know why Marshal Yue has been able to persist in resisting the Jin State and killing the Tartars?"

"Well, this ......." The soldier named Zheng Shigui scratched his head, looking puzzled, looking at Duan Xing's face in a daze, he didn't know what this Lord of the Hundred Households was thinking, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to give up.

After speaking, Duan Xing walked to the middle of the steps and stood up straight. He glanced at the soldiers at the bottom of the steps, and said in a firm tone: "Your military salary comes from the taxes paid by thousands of people like your parents, brothers, and sisters in the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why they do this is so that you can prevent them from being enslaved and bullied. ”

As soon as Duan Xing's words fell, there was a sudden silence under the steps. Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

A moment later, the group of soldiers who had been hanging their heads shouted together: "Can't! ”

"So what should we do?" Duan Xing continued to ask. Hearing this question, all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill!" ”

At this time, Duan Xing had been tense just now, and a trace of a difficult smile appeared on his face like ice, and when the soldiers in the audience saw it, they immediately felt happy in their hearts: Lord Baihu finally smiled! It's not easy, I've been frowning at no one for the past few days. Could it be that the sun is coming out in the west today? At this time, Duan Xing said: "I am very pleased with what you just said, this proves that everyone has not been wiped out of blood, the men of the Ming Dynasty have not been wiped out of blood, and the reason why the people will suffer is because of me."

When the soldiers lacked training and their combat readiness was lax, they gave the Tartars and the Japanese Kou an opportunity to offend our Ming Dynasty, don't you say? Seeing that no one answered, Duan Xing said again: "If you want to protect the people well, you must become a strong army." A strong army must be disciplined and strictly trained, and from tomorrow everyone must rush to gather here at the hour of the hour, and no tardiness is allowed! I will personally teach you and others martial arts, and everyone will train seriously! Disband. ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers saluted, and then scattered. After Duan Xing waited for the soldiers to leave, he wanted to know about the equipment, so he walked to the armory.

Coming to the door of the armory, the guard was a veteran in his thirties, who was sitting on a stool at the door basking in the sun with a leisurely face, Duan Xing looked at it, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. He walked a few more steps before the old soldier saw it. When he saw that Duan Xing was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, so he said, "Why did your lord come here?" There was a hint of disdain in his tone, Duan Xing didn't care, and asked directly, "How many weapons are in this library?" How many firearms? *How many? ”

Seeing Duan Xing ask him with a serious face, the veteran didn't dare to lie, so he had to answer truthfully: "If you go back to your lordship, there are a total of eighty-three spears, forty steel knives, thirty short bows, more than 200 arrows, ten muskets, two small cannons, and two more than two loads. After listening to the veteran's report, Duan Xing entered the armory.

As soon as he entered the door, Duan Xing saw two cannons placed not far from the door, and saw that the artillery muskets were covered with dust, and then walked in and looked inside, only to see that the knives, guns, and arrows in the inventory were covered with dust and rust, Duan Xing couldn't help but be furious when he saw this, and shouted at the veteran outside the armory door: "Yang Si, you go and ask the brothers who were laid off last time in this hundred households to come with rags and buckets, wipe these two cannons clean, and then find a sharpener from the fort, go quickly!"

"Yes, the adults of the hundred households, and the small ones will go." Before the words fell, Yang Si was gone.

After about a quarter of an hour's effort, Yang Si ran back panting, followed by seven or eight soldiers carrying buckets and rags, followed by an old man in civilian clothes and carrying a bench. At this time, Yang Si didn't care about the tiredness, and hurriedly said: "Lord of the hundred households, people have been brought." Duan Xing looked at the group of people and thought to himself, he was running quite fast. So he said to Yang Si who was standing aside: "You have worked hard, go down and rest." Yang Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He didn't care to salute, so he went down.

After Yang Si left, Duan Xing commanded everyone to divide into two groups to wipe the artillery and sharpen the knives and arrows. Suddenly, the sound of sharpening knives sounded in the warehouse.

After a while, all the artillery and weapons had been repaired and polished by the soldiers and the old craftsmen they had brought in. Duan Xing looked at these weapons, his eyes stayed on the two shiny cannons that had been wiped and polished, and his heart was full of thoughts, he knew that whether it was in his own era in his previous life or according to the course of history, artillery was an important weapon. The lethality and deterrence of large-scale artillery clusters against the enemy are very powerful. Now is a critical period for the development of artillery, so in the future, we must pay attention to the manufacture and improvement of artillery and other firearms, strive for mass equipment, so that our army's combat strength is at the forefront of the times, so as to create a strong army, as the basis for changing the ultimate fate of this ancient empire.
