In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Li Yun soon took a militia to escort the bandit captives to the county office. Passing through some villages along the way, the villagers saw the mighty "Li Family Villagers' Group" and the bandits who were strung together with ropes and escorted to the county, and they came to watch one after another, and they were full of admiration for the tall Li Yun. All the way to the county office, someone had already told the county order. The county commander Chen Guang personally went out to greet him.

Chen Guang saw Li Yun's appearance as a young hero and admired it. He was also secretly proud of the effectiveness of his orders to run the militia group. He ordered people to take these bandit prisoners and gave Li Yun a lot of encouragement, and Li Yun also showed a gesture of humility and reverence. Chen Guang was even more satisfied, and personally wrote the "Protecting the Territory and the People" pennant to the "Li Family Villagers' Group" to express his commendation, and rewarded 30 taels of silver as an incentive. He issued a proclamation throughout the county commending Li Yun and the "Li Family Villagers' Group," and also appointed Li Yun as the chief head of the villagers' regiments in Qingyang Town, and the dispatch and training of the villagers' regiments were all under Li Yun's command. Although Li Yun couldn't resign, seeing that the county ordered Chen Guang to insist, he also took the letter of appointment and ordered Xie to return to the village. The proclamation of the county order spread throughout the county, and the reputation of Li Yun and the Li family villagers spread.

Li Yun led the team back to the village, and everyone cheered in unison after listening to the reward of the county order. The village chief was also very supportive of Li Yun, and since Li Yun was appointed as the head of the Qingyang Township People's League, he gave up the two houses in the village office as the temporary headquarters of the people's group, and the letter of appointment of the county order was also hung in a conspicuous position on the wall. Li Yun ordered people to hang the pennant of "Protecting the Territory and the People" on the flagpole, and the regimental flag of the "Li Family Villager Group" was juxtaposed, and the flag fluttered high, showing even more momentum.

Li Yun also discussed with everyone the future development and organizational structure of the militia group, and the brothers Zhou Ping, Zhou Yu and Nie Feng also participated. Li Yun asked Li Qing to serve as the deputy head of the regiment to assist him in training; The Zhou brothers joined the army and were responsible for paperwork and scheduling; Li Gen served as a logistics officer, responsible for logistics supply and reserve support team; Nie Feng served as the captain of the team directly under the regiment and will be self-built and responsible for defending and reconnoitring intelligence. Li Hu served as the head of the Li family villagers' group, and Li Liang was promoted to deputy head of the regiment, and the chiefs and Wu chiefs were adjusted accordingly. In the village, other young and middle-aged people under the age of 45 were unified into a support team, mainly for logistics services, and also equipped with long guns.

After agreeing on the basic strategy, Li Yun ordered Li Qing and Li Gen to lead the Yishi militia to the villages to invite the village chief and the head of the militia group, and agreed to go to Lijia Village on the first day of February to discuss matters. There are a total of 25 villages in Qingyang Town, and each village also has a militia group, which is smaller than the Lijia village group, ranging from a dozen to more than 30 people, and the level of training is also different.

On the first day of the second lunar month, the village chiefs and militia leaders of each village came to the headquarters of the Lijia village group. Although the people in various villages also heard that the Li family villager group had won a great victory, they still disagreed with Li Yun as the head of the group. Li Yun saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and without saying much, he first invited the village chiefs and regiment leaders of each village to the threshing floor to watch the drill of the Li family's village group. I have to say that facts speak louder than words, and the effect is very good, and the prestige of the Li family villager group completely shocked the people of the villages. I saw that the militiamen of the Li family village group were fully armed, uniformed, and walked in front of everyone in five columns, with their movements uniform, their footsteps sonorous and powerful, and the momentum of the mighty division came to their faces, making everyone feel like they were facing an iron-blooded hero! The marksmanship drill and knife drill in the back, every move and style are full of murderous aura and shocking! In the face of such a battle formation, everyone thought that their militia would definitely be vulnerable if they encountered it, and they would only be slaughtered!

After watching the drill, everyone returned to the headquarters of the militia group. The excitement calmed down slightly, and their eyes when they looked at Li Yun changed a lot, and they were no longer looking at the hairy boy's eyes, but full of awe. Li Yun saw that everyone was convinced, so he said, "Welcome to the village chief and the head of the regiment!" I, Li Yun, am a junior in front of you, and now the county order has asked me to serve as the head of the Qingyang Township People's League, although I am afraid to resign, but since the county commander has handed over the important task to me, I also want to do my part to defend my hometown, so I also ask the elders to support me! The leaders of the villages now showed their obedience, and one of the most prestigious village chiefs said, "Chief Chief, we have obeyed the militia you trained!" We fully support you! We will all hand over the militia to you for training and command, what do you think we will do next? ”

Li Yun looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of our establishment of the militia is to organize and defend our homeland. The current situation is not optimistic, Jiangzhou in the south of us has been struggling because of disasters and bandits, especially there is a bandit entrenched in Qingchuan County's Evil Tiger Ridge, only more than 100 miles away from us, they were the ones we defeated some time ago, and there should be eight or nine hundred people now. The officers and men are now overwhelmed with self-protection and are not yet capable of exterminating them. The bandits are certainly not content to stay in the mountains, they will definitely come out to rob. If this group of bandits comes to Nanyang County to rob, our Qingyang Town will bear the brunt, and we can only rely on ourselves. ”

"We may be able to deal with a small group of bandits, but if it is a large group of bandits, especially bandits, it is not enough to rely on the strength of a village group, and there will inevitably be property and even personnel losses at that time. We must unite and twist into a rope in order to defeat the bandits and defend our homeland. ”

After listening to Li Yun's analysis, everyone felt the necessity of unity even more, and asked Li Yunna to pay attention to it. Li Yun saw that everyone was in agreement, so he said, "I have an idea, please give your opinions." The number of our town's militia is about 500 people, so we can't simply put it together, but we have to rearrange and combine it to the fullest of our strength. ”

"We refer to the establishment of the army, all the militia regiments are organized into two battalions, according to the establishment scale of two teams per battalion, five tithes per team, and two trophies per battalion, the two battalions have a total of 300 people, and the remaining 200 people are divided into three teams directly under the general regimental headquarters, one team is an elite commando team, which is selected to be strong and responsible for assault; The first team is the archery team, which selects people with high archery skills, and is mainly responsible for long-range suppression; The first team is a reconnaissance team, which selects individuals with strong personal ability and agility to be responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. In order to facilitate training and command, the first battalion was composed of villagers from the south with Lijia Village as the core; The second battalion is centered on Wangjia Village and consists of a group of villagers from the north. When they heard this, they felt justified and all agreed.

Li Yun also said: "A bird cannot fly without a head, and a person cannot fly without a head, so we must establish our leadership and command system." I plan to set up a regimental headquarters with 1 commander, 2 deputy commanders, 1 army member, 1 chief logistics officer, and several logistics officers. All battalions, teams, divisions, and corps are established in accordance with their establishments. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt justified and all agreed. According to the strengths of each person, Li Yun readjusted the personnel of the entire command system. The list of commanders proposed by Li Yun took into account the interests of all parties, and everyone agreed to compile it in accordance with Li Yun's plan. At present, the militia organization in Qingyang Town is as follows:

Chief of Regiment: Li Yun, Supreme Commander;

Deputy head of the regiment: Li Qing, responsible for daily training; Wang Meng (head of the Wangjia Villagers in the north), responsible for daily training in the north;

Joined the army: Zhou Ping, Zhou Yu

Chief Logistics Officer: Li Gen, responsible for coordinating the logistics support of each village;

Logistics officer: served by the head of each village, and dispatched by the chief logistics officer;

Commando directly under the regiment: Captain Li Hu;

Bow and arrow team directly under the regiment: captain Xue Ren (good at shooting);

Reconnaissance team directly under the regiment: Captain Nie Feng;

The first battalion: battalion commander Li Qing (concurrently), under the jurisdiction of two teams;

Second Battalion: Battalion Commander Wang Meng (concurrently), under the jurisdiction of two teams.

After the establishment was completed, the training methods were adjusted according to the characteristics of the militia groups. Adopt a combination of decentralized training and centralized training. The regiment's directly subordinate units are concentrated in Lijia Village for training, and each battalion conducts training in a dispersed manner according to the team in peacetime, with the battalion training concentrated once every five days and the whole regiment once every 10 days to test the results of the training and conduct training in coordination with the battle formation and tactics of multiple battalions.

Military discipline, training content, and training rewards are completely based on the model of the Lijia Villagers' Regiment, with strict military discipline, and the training content includes physical training, martial arts training, and battle formation training.

The supply of food and ordnance was arranged by the regimental headquarters in a unified manner, with uniform clothing and armament.

Establish a joint defense mechanism, set up beacons in each village, light fire alarms when bandits attack and harassment, determine the scale according to the size of the smoke, and dispatch corresponding troops.

Ten days later, the reorganization of the entire militia was completed, the first concentration was carried out in Lijia Village, and the founding ceremony of the Qingyang Township militia was held. Li Yun invited county officials such as the county magistrate and the mayor of Qingyang Town to attend the ceremony, and the villagers organized a gong and drum team to beat gongs and drums to create an atmosphere, and they became famous for a while. After the county order came, he actually found that the current master Wang Yang was temporarily living here, and he was even more respectful, and his support for Li Yun was greater, and a batch of ordnance and material support was specially allocated. When the people from the villages saw that the county order attached so much importance to Li Yun, they felt that Li Yun had a bright future, Li Yun's prestige was invisibly higher, and the military order was unimpeded.

In the next three months, Li Yun was busy with his feet not touching the ground, but he still insisted on practicing. In the heavy work, his skills are also slowly improving, gradually moving towards the peak of qi training. He gradually coordinated all parties to straighten out relations, and the entire militia has been effectively functioning. He also traveled to every village, observed the changes in the terrain, checked the training, and he could call every militia by their name and instruct them to train, and everyone liked him. Li Hu, Li Qing, Nie Feng, and Wang Meng are good at martial arts, and under Li Yun's guidance, their martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds.

Li Yun attaches great importance to the training of officers. He asked someone to give a cultural lesson to the militia members of the militia for an hour every day, teaching them to read and write, and many of them burst into tears of excitement because they could write their names. Li Yun also organized battalion commanders, captains, sergeants, and commanders to take turns for intensive training to learn the art of war and the way of leading troops. Under Li Yun's teaching, officers at all levels have mastered a certain amount of knowledge of the art of war and have already possessed some basic military qualities, which has made the training and coordination of the entire militia regiment smoother.

During the busy farming season, although Li Yun reduced the training time, he also organized the militia to help the families in need to plant, and the reputation of the militia among the villagers became better and better!

At the beginning of June, after the end of the farming season, Li Yun organized a centralized training. The 500-member militia regiment, the banner of the "Qingyang Town Militia Regiment" fluttered high, the banners of each battalion were clear, and the militiamen were fully armed and marched in a parade drill, and they were angry and angry. The detachment conducted drills in various battle formations, such as defense and offense, and was well-trained.

Seeing that the militia were in high spirits, skillful, and cooperative, Li Yun knew that the militia was basically an army, and as long as it was tempered by the war, it would be a battlefield force!
