At the end of October, the farming work ended, but the whole lake did not fall silent, but became more and more boiling.

Wang Yan set up the governor of the five provinces in Wuchang, recruited a large number of staff, and even the old Fang of the Chongzhen Dynasty who moved to Wuchang was also hired by him as a counselor.

Fang Fengnian is a native of Sui'an, the leader of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with great influence, and Wang Yanzhao is also showing goodwill to the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to prepare for sending troops to Jiangnan.

The Jiangnan Restoration Force, seeing that the Longwu Imperial Court is becoming bigger, also intends to combine with the Imperial Court, so that after the Dingjing is settled in Nanjing, it can quickly integrate into the Longwu Imperial Court and ensure the interests of the Jiangnan gentry.

The Xingyuan shogunate had an experienced old bureaucrat, plus Chen Bangyan, and Gu Yanwu and others recruited from Guangnan, Wang Yan set up the shogunate of the governors of the five provinces with the original team of the shogunate of the governor of Liangguang, and various reform measures were implemented in Huguang.

The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter.

In the past, after the autumn harvest, the people would be idle, but this year is very different, and ordinary people find that even in winter, they are not idle.

Every month, when the army is paid, and when the camp is out of the camp during the holiday, Wuchang City is overcrowded, and the wine shop and teahouse benefit from this, even in front of the sister's door, there is a queue, and they are not busy at all, and the people dare to go to this time, make some snacks, sell some small groceries, and can earn a little money.

More than 100,000 troops gathered in Huguang, clothing, hats, shoes, trousers, vegetables, rice, and grain, the consumption was amazing, and many people were able to receive work from the government and earn some silver to subsidize their families.

The major mines, smelters, and weapons workshops are also recruiting young and strong, and the government is taking advantage of the agricultural slack to requisition and send people to repair the damaged city walls in Wuchang, Xiangyang and other places.

In addition to further encouraging commerce, the military system began to be implemented in Huguang, this time it was not as fierce as in Guangdong, and the number of people was controlled within a reasonable range, with 3,000 in the upper government, 2,000 in the middle government, and 1,000 in the lower government, and 16 prefectures under the jurisdiction of the political secretary of Huguang, with a total of 30,000 people.

After the winter, this group of selected government soldiers took advantage of the agricultural slack to start the first training.

On a temporary school field in the south of Wuchang City, more than 1,000 soldiers who were summoned by the government were assembled.

There were a little snowflakes in the sky, the government lacked supplies, nothing was issued, and the guards were still wearing their bloated jackets, holding wooden sticks and knives, and their equipment was very poor, and their morale was naturally not high.

Wang Yan led a group of generals and officials to inspect, the Wuchang officials had no light on their faces, and the Qianhu of the Tun Army was a lame retired officer of the Wuzhong Army, he was pulling his throat to exercise, but the more than 1,000 soldiers were weak and had no spirit.

"Justice, incompetence..."

Wang Yan and his entourage came to the school field, and the lame Qianhu was full of shame.

This person's name is Hu Hengyuan, who was originally a member of the Governor of Baihu, who was injured during the Battle of Wanxian County, and now he has retired.

Huguang implements government soldiers, and needs a large number of thousands of households and hundreds of officials to train, not only the five loyal troops, but also a large number of disabled people in the Shence army, of course, if the injury is too serious, there is no way to arrange.

Wang Yan had some impression of Hu Hengyuan, he smiled and patted Hu Hengyuan on the shoulder, "The soldiers are not well equipped, naturally their morale is low, Hengyuan doesn't have to blame himself, and they are all new soldiers, this is just the beginning, you can't expect them to be like old pawns." Your job is to gradually train them from farmers to soldiers. If they are still like this when they enter the army three years later, then don't tell anyone that you are a member of the Five Loyal Army. ”

"The humble duty must practice this group of birds well, so as not to disappoint the minister." When Hu Hengyuan heard this, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted.

Wang Yan patted him on the shoulder again to show encouragement, and then looked back at the general behind him and said: "Erlang came to the school field with enthusiasm, thinking that he could wear new armor, hold knives and guns, and hold firearms. The government now has limited financial resources and is not fully equipped for a while, but the appearance can't make Erlang feel that they have always been like this. Among you, who is willing to have a fight on the school field, so that you can see the true style of our Ming Army. ”

"The last general is willing, fellow comrades, who wants to have a fight with me." Lu Shikui did not give in.

"I wanted to learn earlier, I'll come!" Liu Wenxiu came out to hold his fists.

The guards on the school ground, seeing that the generals who came to inspect were going to fight, immediately became excited, and Hu Hengyuan hurriedly beckoned the guards to vacate the field and form a big circle.

Lu Shikui and Liu Wenxiu made a little preparation, each controlled the war horse, and rushed into the school field, Lu Shikui Mountain Pattern Armor, six-petal saucer helmet, big red robe, red feathers on his head like fire, sat on a white horse without a trace of miscellaneous hair, like a white dragon, he held high the silver gun, circled in the school field, and won bursts of applause as soon as he appeared.

Liu Wenxiu rode a black horse, majestic and tall, galloping like a black whirlwind, he was equipped with the same equipment as Lu Shikui, the only difference was the weapon, he was holding a Daguan knife.

The two rode horses, warming up on the school field, one black and one white, like a rotating yin and yang fish.

Thanks to the contribution of the Guanning Army, the quality of the war horses of the generals of the Wuzhong Army has reached a new height.

"Commander Liu, are you ready?" Lu Shikui asked loudly.

Liu Wenxiu closed the side of the knife and said proudly: "Come on!" ”

Lu Shikui's legs clamped the horse's belly, and the white horse under his crotch suddenly galloped, and the silver spear in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, stabbing towards Liu Wenxiu, Liu Wenxiu shouted, "It's good!" He urged the horse to fight, lifted the knife in his hand, pushed the silver spear away, and swept over with a turn, but Lu Shikui's spear was attached to the Guan knife, with a kind of twisting force, and the Guan knife turned twice, when the two horses were staggered, the Guan knife slashed over the top of Lu Shikui's head, and the spear that stabbed Liu Wenxiu was also deviated, rubbing his armor and stabbing it.

"Good!" This thrilling scene straightened the eyes of nearly a thousand earth buns on the field, and the rapid sound of gongs and drums when watching the shadow puppet show echoed in my mind.

At this time, the two people who were fighting, feeling each other's strength, secretly said "good", and then successively reined in the war horse, turned the horse's head, and hedged again.

The war horse galloped, this time Liu Wenxiu's knife was split vertically, and Lu Shikui raised his gun to block horizontally, sealing Liu Wenxiu's knife.

This time the two horses did not stagger, but in a circle, after defusing Liu Wenxiu's ferocious attack, Lu Shikui immediately launched a counterattack, the silver spear stabbed at Liu Wenxiu like a pear blossom rainstorm, but Liu Wenxiu closed the knife like a glaive, the knife flashed, sealing his offensive route.

The two sides fought on horseback, sometimes fighting in circles, sometimes hedging back and forth, the gun was as urgent as a storm, the knife was as fierce as a lightning bolt, the two of them had a long spear and a knife, the battle was inseparable, and the surrounding guards were fascinated, the blood was boiling, and each hissed and cheered.

Wang Yan and the generals stood on the school review platform, and in the blink of an eye, the two fought fiercely for more than 30 rounds, and they were always inseparable, and they also began to praise and discuss.

At this time, a fast horse came to the outside of the school field, and a general turned over and dismounted, pressed the war knife in one hand, and walked hurriedly.

The person who came was Yu Taichu, who was transferred from Guangjing by Wang Yan and was responsible for all kinds of information sent by the Heaven and Earth Society.

He trotted to Wang Yan's side, and said in Wang Yan's ear: "Xianggong, someone from the Jin Shang side is coming,"
