Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fourth day of the 11th month of the twelfth year of Zhizheng, and the black-clothed army that had stayed on Zhongxing Road for more than a month on this day was also under the leadership of Zhang Shihua and officially became a teacher.

However, it is the same as Zhang Shihua's arrangement in advance, although Zhang Shihua officially returned with a large army. However, Guo Yu and Bai Xi, the two ten thousand households, still stayed on Zhongxing Road. Among them, Guo Yu is the main general, Bai Xi is the deputy general, and the two work together to guard the south for Zhang Shihua.

Of course, in this process, it is naturally impossible for all the thousands of elite riders under Guo Yu's tent to stay. Zhang Shihua only left Guo Yu with 1,000 elite cavalry and allocated him 7,000 foot soldiers, so as to add 6,000 soldiers and horses under Bai Xi's command.

The entire number of soldiers and horses under the command of the two of them could not help but reach more than 14,000 people, but such a force was enough to guard the southern defense line.

But even so, after collecting a large number of officers and soldiers and a large number of heroes, when Zhang Shihua returned, there were still more than 48,000 soldiers under his command.

However, 22,000 of them were soldiers and famous heroes who came to defect. Therefore, in terms of real combat power, it is naturally not comparable to when Zhang Shihua went down.

So after going back, Zhang Shihua is also ready to let these people go back to training again.

After all, these people can't even understand the banner of the Black-clothed Army now, and they can't cooperate with the Black-Clothed Army at all, except for pretending to be a few people.

Moreover, these people themselves also have great shortcomings, such as the mountains where the officers and soldiers surrender to the soldiers, and most of the officers and soldiers only recognize their generals and do not recognize him Zhang Shihua; The heroes who came to defect were too gangster, emphasizing righteousness and ignoring military regulations.

Such phenomena are absolutely not allowed to occur in Zhang Shihua's army.

From the very beginning, on the issue of recruiting troops, Zhang Shihua pursued the principle of preferring shortage to abundance. This is just like what he said before his head, he would rather not have these famous heroes who came to defect and a large number of officers and soldiers who surrendered, but also to ensure the quality of his soldiers.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, even if it is a decisive battle with a scale of more than 100,000 people. In the late Yuan period, communications were underdeveloped and command ability was low. What can really decide the outcome of the war is actually a small handful of people in the 100,000 army who are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of death.

As for the rest of the people, to put it bluntly, they are actually shouting and cheering and pretending.

And this is the fundamental reason why Yuan Meng, who had only a small population, finally conquered most of the civilized world in one fell swoop. In the era of cold weapons, thirty men who dared to fight and kill, and commanded unified orders, defeated three hundred chaotic miscellaneous soldiers without unified command head-on, it was definitely as simple as eating and drinking.

Of course, even if Zhang Shihua used a lot of methods from later generations to train soldiers.

But to tell the truth, in the black-clothed army under Zhang Shihua, the soldiers who take obedience to orders as their duty and dare to fight with the enemy in the sword mountain and the sea of fire still account for a very small proportion of the whole army. To put it mildly, people like this are estimated to be less than one-tenth even in the black-clothed army.

After all, in this society where the people's wisdom has not yet been opened, the mind has not yet been emancipated, and high-level intellectuals are generally short-sighted, it is simply impossible to train soldiers to be patriotic soldiers who drank ice and snow and gnawed on their nests and lay on their stomachs in the snow in the weather of dozens of degrees below zero, and would rather freeze to death in rows and in rows than leave their ambush posts for half a step during the founding period of the new H country.

Don't talk big, if Zhang Shihua really has such a soldier who is dedicated to fighting for the nation and the country, and gives Zhang Shihua 30,000 people, Zhang Shihua can kill Yuan Dadu in one breath and destroy him Dayuan Tianzi. Give him 100,000 such soldiers, and Zhang Shihua will be able to lead his troops to the Mediterranean.

Therefore, if you want to win the war, train the soldiers, and take the route of elite soldiers, that is the truth.

Later generations said that since the advent of tanks and aircraft, the tactics of crowds have been eliminated by history. But in Zhang Shihua's view, as early as the day when mankind started the war, tactics such as the tactics of crowd and sea of people, which are many times more harmful than beneficial, should have been swept into the garbage heap.

Since a nation has a state system, a ruling class, and an effective political power, it must have a demobilized army to protect its nation, state, and political power.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang, a civilian emperor who only produces one in a thousand years, is a legendary great man. But he inherited the Yuan Dynasty and developed the military household system on his own, which is really ...... Not so good.

The so-called military household system of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to inheriting the military household system of the Yuan Dynasty, actually borrowed from the government and military system of the Tang Dynasty to a large extent.

Both the military household system and the government military system are a combination of soldiers and peasants, and soldiers are farmers who cultivate the land in peacetime, train in agricultural gaps, and serve in the army to fight in wartime.

But you must know that because of the problem of land annexation, the government and military system already existed in name only in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and the military household system established by the irresponsible ruling class of the Yuan Dynasty was only implemented for a few decades, and it was rotten to the bone.

And there are two precedents like this, since Zhu Yuanzhang still turned a blind eye to it, after establishing a new imperial court, he even engaged in a military household system.

That's right, Zhu Yuanzhang himself is indeed a political genius, and the series of systems he formulated are large and small, and internally, it can be said that they have fundamentally avoided the emergence of usurpers and ministers, and ensured the supremacy of imperial power. But only in terms of external affairs, the system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed not very good.

From only half a century after his death, his grandson, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, was invited by the grassland people to be a guest on the grassland, and you can see how quickly the army of the Ming Dynasty decayed.

So if he has the opportunity to play against Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, Zhang Shihua will definitely not stay.

It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang is a great man, but after the establishment of the country, this great man used all his talents to the meaningless and unrealistic problem of 'how to help his children and grandchildren sit on the throne forever'.

If Huaxia is handed over to him, he will only establish a high-pressure feudal regime that rests on his laurels again. Then this regime decayed and perished, and finally dragged thousands of Han people to be buried with this damned regime.

Therefore, the question of 'how to establish a regime that can develop positively' has become a huge problem that has plagued Zhang Shihua after Zhang Shihua has developed and grown little by little.

Although he is a time-traveler, he really doesn't dare to make any guarantees on such a matter now.

However, Zhang Shihua does have some ideas in his mind now.

But at this time, it's still a little early to say this. Before Zhang Shihua thought about it, before he didn't have a provincial territory, he was not qualified to talk about system reform.

Now, we should follow the nine-character mantra that the rebels all practice, 'accumulate grain, build high walls, and slowly become kings' to make a lot of money, this is the royal way.

So after returning to Xiangyang, in addition to training, Zhang Shihua was not like Xu Shouhui's dick, he was teased and called the emperor with a sigh. After all, these false names such as grass kings are really not interesting.

However, at this time, Liu Futong gave Zhang Shihua an unexpected gift.

On November 11, the third day after Zhang Shihua's class returned, Zhang Shihua was officially appointed by Liu Futong as the provincial governor of Huguang Province, and gave Zhang Shihua a lot of blank farewells, so that Zhang Shihua had the ability to 'legally' appoint officials.

But Shihua really doesn't care about that kind of waste paper, anyway, it's the same whether there is or not.

If you write a confession, you can't ask for any money and food from Liu Futong, it's better to be an ornament.

But being promoted, after all, is a good thing, so I rewarded my soldiers with a banquet. And then...... And there will be none.

……

"Woo~woo" Early in the morning, when the sun had not even risen, the unique wake-up call of the black-clothed army was also resounding in the recruit camp.

"Wocao, this damn whistle!" Hearing this wake-up call, Wei Dayong scolded angrily, and reluctantly opened his eyes.

"Damn, I get up before dawn, and I'm more tired than my mother and I being a monk in the temple." Wei Dayong, who had been a monk soldier, scolded. Then after putting on the cotton clothes issued by the army, which were full of materials and extremely warm, he looked at the former brothers in the house and the current comrades-in-arms, and couldn't help but open his throat and scolded: "Don't sleep with your mother, you still sleep with his grandmother." Get up quickly, delay the hour, let the labor-management stand and starve, and I will not spare you when the time comes! ”

The scolding was very loud, and Wei Dayong, who had been a warrior monk, scolded people like a lion roaring in Buddhism.

So hearing his scolding, forced by military regulations and the threat of force from their commander Wei Dayong, although these people were reluctant, they could only obediently get up from the bed.

After all, this place is different from the temple, even if the temple is delayed, begging for mercy or starving, it will be gone, even if it is beaten, it is nothing to them men.

But the instructors who trained them in the new barracks were much more damning than the temple.

Damn, if you're late, starvation doesn't count. When people are eating, you have to run to the people to stand and watch them eat like a door god. Good fellow, there are hundreds of people watching you, don't mention the shame.

Of course, for such a punishment, at the beginning, a man like Wei Dayong, who was not afraid of Lao Tzu, the king of courage, was also unconvinced. But later, after the instructor who trained them trained Wei Dayong in public, Wei Dayong's thorn was also satisfied.

So now, although they have only been in this new barracks for three or four days, they don't dare to violate the rules in the new barracks.

However, in the army, there seems to be a lot of love and killing scenes. No, after Wei Dayong and a few of them went out bareheaded, they couldn't help but see a group of people they didn't want to see the most. That is the subordinate of Songzi County's proud fan, Cheng Biao and others who fought with a few of them as soon as they entered the new barracks.

"Yo, isn't this an old Wei Wei monk?" As soon as he saw Wei Dayong and them, Cheng Biao, who looked like a bandit, couldn't help but take the initiative to greet them. "Hey, I said monk, you came early this time, I thought your kid was going to stand in front this morning and watch my brother eat. Hey, don't talk about Monk Wei, I found that a few of you were bare-headed, standing in front and watching our brothers eat, and the amount of food our brothers ate really grew a lot. ”

"Isn't it, brothers?" Saying this, Cheng Biao, who was squeezing his eyebrows and glaring, couldn't help but laugh out loud with a few fellow villagers beside him.

"Cheng Biao, you third grandson of a dog's day, do you want to be beaten up again!" Seeing this, although this Wei Dayong and they are all monks. But they are all seven-foot men, who can stand this anger. Therefore, after an angry scolding, Wei Dayong raised his fist and was about to fight.

But at this time, his junior brother hugged him all of a sudden. "Hey, senior brother, calm down, calm down. If you punch down, you'll fall for this dog's trick. This dog day is very insidious, if you go down with this fist, won't we break the military rules? A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, senior brother! ”

"Fuck." Hearing the words of his junior brother, he raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, and couldn't help but find that Cheng Biao on the opposite side was all holding their arms and watching the play with a look on their faces. couldn't help scolding angrily, and walked away with a few senior brothers, ignoring Cheng Biao and them.

Seeing them leave, a person beside Cheng Biao couldn't help frowning and said, "Hey, big brother." It's strange, Monk Wei, a reckless man, didn't make a move on us this time, it's rare. ”

"Rare? Rare fart. He, Monk Wei, is not a fool. This kid violated the military rules three times in three days in a row, and was cleaned up by our instructor in public. It's all like this, do you think this kid can still remember for a long time, just kidding. ”

"Today is just a fun kid, and it will be a long time in the future. When the time comes, I'm going to have to let this kid see me and take a detour. Saying this, Cheng Biao greeted him, and couldn't help but lead people to the place where they gathered in the camp.

Because of the dispute with Wei Dayong and a few of them, Cheng Biao and the ten of them were the last team to feel.

However, just like Wei Dayong's junior brother said, Cheng Biao looks like a reckless bandit on the surface, but in his heart he is very damaged. So although it was the last one to arrive, the time was very accurate, not early or late, just right.

"Very well, it's a quarter of the hour." And at this time, suddenly a voice sounded. Hearing this, the 100 people gathered here couldn't help but close their mouths, lined up in line, and looked ahead.

In front, that is, in front of the hundred-number people, there was a chair, and a man was sitting on the chair.

This man is not only not good-looking, but even what he wears is just an ordinary black military cotton coat. Except for the calluses on his hands and the whistle stick next to the chair, I really can't tell that this man will be the instructor of this hundred.
