But even so, no one dares to underestimate this man.

Not only because this man is a veteran who followed Zhang Shihua everywhere to fight and killed when Zhang Shihua raised troops, but also because this old soldier also has this extremely powerful kung fu.

It is said that this old pawn has not only been a practitioner since he was a child, but even when he was in Taihe, this old pawn was also a ranger who mixed the rivers and lakes.

At the beginning, Zhang Shihua, the marshal of the black-clothed army, rebelled in Taihe, and the old soldier surnamed Lu was also because he admired Zhang Shihua very much, so he resolutely led people to vote for Zhang Shihua and became a black-clothed sergeant.

It is said that at that time, when Marshal Zhang Shihua only had 500 soldiers and horses, he was already a commander.

It is said that an old man like him who dares to fight and kill, no matter how bad he is, he should be mixed into a hundred households or even a thousand households, and he doesn't need to be an instructor who can only be a platoon commander here.

But I have to say that Lu Zhen, an old pawn, has too strong ability to find things to do.

Originally, as early as half a year ago, when the black-clothed army was still active in Nanyang Mansion, this old soldier Lu Zhen had already been promoted to one hundred households.

But this person can fight without fake, and he is not ambiguous at all when he makes mistakes. Less than ten days after 100 households, because of the accidental killing of ordinary people, they were demoted to three levels in a row, and they were suddenly demoted to a pawn.

Later, when attacking Xiangyang City, because he personally killed a deputy Wanhu and made a great contribution to beheading the generals, he was finally reinstated by the official and became a hundred households again. Just because in the ensuing siege battle, he was red-eyed, and the arrangers killed many civilians, and he was once again demoted to a pawn.

Later, in the recent battle to the south, because he was a soldier of a heavy infantry regiment, this guy made a lot of feats and was reinstated by the official again.

As a result, after the end of the war, he was demoted to a position for two days because he was drunk and injured his colleagues.

Yes, among so many instructors, only this one person has a higher official position, and any other instructor has a higher official position than him.

However, his identity as an instructor was personally appointed by Zhang Shihua, the marshal of the black-clothed army.

After all, there is such a thing under his hands, Zhang Shihua really can't think about it.

So this time to catch up with the training, Zhang Shihua simply let this kid be an instructor. Anyway, in terms of seniority, there is no one with more seniority than this kid at the level of platoon commander in the army. So letting this kid be an instructor can be regarded as waste utilization.

Of course, if the instructor is good, Zhang Shihua doesn't mind reinstating him.

But if this kid can still make trouble as an instructor, Zhang Shihua doesn't mind letting this product be a leader for the rest of his life. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the black-clothed army who can fight, and they are not bad for this one product.

However, it is precisely because of such a legendary experience that there is really such great prestige among the low-level soldiers.

Not only did the platoon commanders with higher official positions than him want to call him when they saw him, Brother Lu gave him three points of thin noodles, but even this hundred-number ranger hero, who worked under him for three days, and after knowing his legendary experience, none of them dared to bare their teeth.

"Okay, when the time comes, don't be stunned, report me and see if everyone is there." As soon as the hourglass that was tapped at his feet was finished, Lu Zhen, who was sitting on the chair, yawned, and then couldn't help but get up from the chair and shouted orders to the 'new pawns' under him.

"One, two, three...... 10. Report to the instructor, there should be 100 people, and if it is 100 people, please instruct! The chief in the last row, after counting the numbers, couldn't help shouting.

"Very good, it's good that everyone is here, I thought there would be someone to move with me today." Saying this, he couldn't help but take a fancy to Wei Dayong, who was standing in the second row. After all, Wei Dayong's hairstyle is so easy to recognize, he can recognize it at a glance.

And when everyone saw him like this, they couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, damn it, don't laugh, what's so funny. Now this is also the fourth day, according to the above arrangement, from this morning, I will also take you to take the oath. ”

"Well, take the oath?" After hearing these two words that they had never heard before, these hundred rangers couldn't help but whisper eagerly.

"Okay, shut up for me, labor and management haven't let you speak now, listen to me first, you're asking after I'm done!" After shouting angrily and quieting down the hundred-number people, looking at these people, Lu Zhen couldn't help but explain to them: "You all know that my black-clothed army is not a bandit or bandit. ”

"What we are doing is a major event of fighting with him Yuanmeng Tartar to fight for the world. And if we want to do such a big thing, then we naturally have to set the rules. ”

"There's a good saying, 'There are no rules, no rules'. You know, in this year, even if you go to the mountains to be a bandit, when you join the gang, where do you have to swear poisonously in the bandit's den? Even the bandits understand this, so if we are doing the big thing of fighting for the world, we naturally have to set rules and make oaths in front of our heads. ”

"Of course, for some cowards, no matter how ruthless you make him swear, you can't stop him from admitting it on the battlefield. But this can be regarded as a sign of loyalty, and we have set rules for ourselves. ”

"So now I'm just asking you if there's anyone who doesn't want to take the oath."

"It's not forced, if you don't want to, just say it, and then you take off this outfit and you're good to go. My black-clothed army is doing big things, and I don't even dare to make an oath, and I don't want it half-heartedly all day long. ”

Having said that, it is naturally impossible for anyone to stand up against this 100-number ranger hero who has a good face and is better than everything.

So after these people looked at each other, they couldn't help but say one after another: "Instructor, needless to say, this oath has been declared." Now we are wearing the cotton clothes issued by Lord Pingzhang, eating the meals rewarded by Lord Pingzhang, and receiving the military salary issued by Lord Pingzhang. We swear, that's a matter of course. ”

"Yes, that's right. We put on this garment just to fight the tartars and do great things. Make an oath and set a rule before doing big things, that's what you should do, and we don't object to it. ”

"Yes, no objection, no objection." A group of rangers and heroes agreed.

Seeing them like this, this Lu Zhen waved his hand, and after everyone quieted down, he couldn't help but take out a note from his pocket, and after seeing the oath written on the note and made by Zhang Shihua himself, he couldn't help but look solemn, and shouted at everyone: "Wait a minute, look at me, what I do and read, you all follow suit." ”

"Okay, now make a fist with your right hand, then raise it, and read it with me."

"I swear: I voluntarily become a glorious soldier of the black-clothed army, obey the leadership of the lord, strictly abide by discipline, brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, practice hard to kill the enemy, always ready to fight, never betray the army, and swear to defend my homeland!"

"I swear: I voluntarily become a glorious soldier of the black-clothed army, obey the leadership of the lord, strictly abide by discipline, brave and tenacious, not afraid of sacrifice, practice hard to kill the enemy, always ready to fight, never betray the army, and swear to defend my homeland!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the audience couldn't help but be abrupt.

Especially when I heard that other fellow soldiers were also swearing so loudly at the same time, a special feeling couldn't help but swell into the heart of this ranger hero.

To be honest, when training recruits, the number of oaths like this is actually very rare, and most of them are sworn by recruits and soldiers at large gatherings.

However, special circumstances must also be treated specially, these rangers and heroes who are mixed up in the rivers and lakes are different from simple farmers. For these people, sometimes you have to make some drastic information, otherwise you really can't control their hearts.

However, Zhang Shihua believes that subtly, they will definitely change.

After all, Zhang Shihua was a traverser, and the wisdom of military training in later generations was not something that the Chinese in the 14th century could imagine.

"Very well, from today onwards, you are officially a member of my Black Army. So, remember, this vow, and from today onwards, you will have to recite it aloud every morning. This is a man's promise, and a man is a spitter and a nail. ”

Looking at everyone, after Lu Zhen said this, he couldn't help but let these solemn-faced soldiers disband, and let them all go to the Huotou Army to eat.

……

Another day passed, in Xiangyang City, in the study of the General's Mansion.

"According to your orders, my lord, since yesterday, all the soldiers in the new barracks have begun to take the oath. And the troupe you instructed is also ready. They can sing in all the boot camps tonight if you need to. ”

In the book, Chang Xiqiao looked at Zhang Shihua, who was sitting opposite him, with a respectful face, word by word, reporting what he wanted to say.

"Good." Zhang Shihua smiled slightly, "But you have to do a good job of the repertoire of opera, I think it's pretty good to be like Dou E's injustice." Anyway, you can look at the specific content, and you can report it to me when the time comes. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey. Then, dare to ask the lord, when will these troupes go to the barracks? ”

"Just tomorrow night, and when the training is over tomorrow night, let them go to the boot camp to sing. After all, it's not easy for these people to train, and I, the lord, also want to think about making their lives more nourishing. Speaking of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"By the way, Xiqiao, how are officers like Fan Zhong, Li Zhi, Zhao Yufu and Gao Kaida trained now?"

"Back to the lord's words, according to your orders, as long as the officers and soldiers who surrendered and the heroes who defected, as long as they have positions in more than 100 households, we have already carried out basic training for them. Now the officers and men are officially on the right track. However, Fan Zhong and Li Zhi are more troublesome. ”

Chang Xiqiao looked at Zhang Shihua, bent down and bowed, and then reported truthfully word by word.

And Zhang Shihua heard his words, took a sip of tea, looked at Chang Xiqiao and couldn't help laughing: "These are all normal, Zhao Yufu and Gao Kaida, these officers, have been on errands in the Yuanmeng Imperial Court for so long, after all, they have some foundations." Naturally, he also understands the rules and is fast. ”

"Heroic rangers like Fan Zhong and Li Zhi used to be mostly mixed with the rivers and lakes, and they have never been in contact with this, so it's normal to be a little troublesome, just be a little patient. After all, isn't it the first time we've done something like training officers? ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand. The subordinates will definitely do this well and will not let you down. Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Chang Xiqiao also made a guarantee at the first time.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua nodded, and couldn't help but say: "Well, Xiqiao, you are a stable person, and I am relieved to have your words." ”

"But these generals don't have any resistance. After all, there are many heroes like Fan Zhong and Li Zhi, and there are still people who take the initiative to defect to us. As a result, we have to be trained by us, so I have to complain. ”

"Hehe, since the lord said so, his subordinates naturally don't dare to hide it from the lord. Just like the lord said, some of the generals who were born in Hao did say a lot of complaints in the past two days. However, our black-clad army has never restricted their freedom, nor has we ever forbade them to communicate with their subordinates. ”

"So although I complain again, it's just a normal human thing to say two words of complaint."

"Yes, that's good. It's not easy to do this, you have to always pay attention to the thoughts of these generals, after all, they and we will be considered a family in the future. So, this time it's really hard work for you. Speaking of which, Zhang Shihua looked at Chang Xiqiao, and couldn't help but be so concerned about him.

"The lord is serious, this is what his subordinates should do." Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Chang Xiqiao couldn't help but answer.

"Well, okay, so be it. I think in a month, the generals and non-commissioned officers will be safe. Okay, Xiqiao, I've worked hard for you, so you can go down first. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." He immediately received the order, and then bowed to Zhang Shihua, and then couldn't help but bend down and exit the study.

And when he left, Zhang Shihua got up and looked at the scenery outside the window, but he couldn't help but suddenly want to go out for a turn.

So after thinking about it slightly, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but instruct at the door: "Ah Wu took a few people to change into civilian clothes and go out with me." ”、

……

Xiangyang City is a famous big city in the world, and the waterway transportation extends in all directions, so that the city's commercial trade is extremely developed.

Although it has now become the seat of Zhang Shihua's territory, the black-clothed army, this change not only did not hinder the commercial trade of this city, but also made the commerce and trade of this city more prosperous and developed.

After all, compared to other places, in the jurisdiction of the black-clothed army, not only do they not collect tolls for merchants, but the commercial taxes collected are also thirty percent lower than those of the Yuan and Mongolian courts.
