The recruitment of soldiers was the responsibility of the Xia official (military department), and the Northern Ya Forbidden Army was mainly responsible for the emperor's guards. So basically, there is no risk of going to war, and the treatment is very good, and there are naturally many people who are willing to become soldiers. (However, some soldiers are willing to fight in order to gain fame.)

To be able to enter the Beiya Forbidden Army as a soldier is a great expectation and honor for the peasants. First, it can be tax-free, and second, the salary can also subsidize the family.

Because of this, many idle people want to apply. Wu Yan went to see the recruitment of soldiers a few days ago, and as a result, all those bastards were expelled by Wu Yanzhi.

He then put forward a few more requirements for new soldiers, and all the soldiers were recruited from among the peasant children near Luoyang. As a result, the elimination rate is very high, and it is expected that it will take a few days to assemble the troops.

Of course, he left only twenty of his more than thirty guards with him, and recruited all the rest into the Thunder Cavalry Battalion to serve as his own soldiers. (Tooth tent, that is, the Chinese military tent)

On this day, Wu Yanzhi took Niu Changshi, Zuo Lang General Xu Chao, Right Lang General Gao Fei, Bing Cao Jiang Xiaodi, Qi Xuan and others to check the new barracks of the Lei Cavalry Battalion.

It took less than ten days for the barracks to be fully built, after all, it was only a small barracks of 500 people. The structure of the house is an earthen wall and a green tile house. Don't look at this mud-walled house, which was also a symbol of wealth in ancient times.

Until the sixties and seventies of the last century, valley (thatched) thatched cottages were still common in rural China, especially in the southern mountainous areas. It can be seen that it seems simple to replace the grain grass on the roof with green tiles, but it is actually not easy.

Because the Lei Cavalry Battalion carried too many expectations of Wu Zetian, it specially increased the allocation of 500 yuan. According to Wu Yanzhi's requirements, the cement floor and various training facilities were newly repaired. The floor has not yet set, and it will be a few days before it heals.

Of course, this barracks and other affairs are under the control of Niu Changshi.

"General Wu, you can move in here after six days, and the soldiers will also arrive in six days! At that time, General Wu will be invited to give instructions! Niu Changshi said.

"Hmmm! Your work efficiency is quite high, I think, the establishment of this Lei Cavalry Battalion is a big event, it is best to have General Li personally come to the town! Wu Yanzhi shook his head.

"General Li was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come, so he said just let General Wu deal with it. He recently had to test the officers of the Yulin Flying Cavalry. Niu Changshi said.

When Wu Yan heard this, he had no choice but to do so, and the general Li Duozuo was just a nominal superior. Again. It is impossible for the Northern Ya army to invite any prime minister to speak, and the prime minister belongs to the Southern Ya system.

Fortunately, it was only a training camp for 500 people, and it was the same if you went by yourself.

"That's it! Do you have a military song in the Yulin Army? He asked again.

"Nope!" Niu Changshi shook his head.

"Then forget it, this Lei Cavalry Battalion still has to imitate the army of the previous dynasty and have its own military song! Although it is currently a forbidden army, it is not sure where to go out! This military song is very important for raising morale! "The Way of Martial Arts.

"Everything is up to General Wu." Niu Changshi said, this military song is not elegant.

Wu Yan listened, what line is this without a military song?

In his previous life, he heard a friend who was engaged in music tell him that the history of Chinese military songs is very long, and it is said that there are already descriptions of military songs in the Book of Songs.

Qi Jiguang and Zeng Guofan's armies have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they all have military songs to condense their spirits. I don't know why the soldiers of the Yulin Army don't have a military song? It seems that this thing still has to rely on the main general, and you have to find a famous artist in Shendu to compose a military song.

"Jiang Bingcao, you go to find the musicians in the teaching workshop, and I will write the lyrics of this military song myself. This song must be in line with the identity of a soldier, and it must have the momentum of sweeping mountains and seas and soaring for nine days; There must be the domineering spirit of the thunder cavalry camp for nine days! "The Way of Martial Arts.

"Yes! The humble post must convey the instructions of General Wu! Jiang Xiao said.

"Good! By the way, you can't let him compose music in vain, Judge Qi, when you go with Jiang Bingcao, you will also express it slightly......"

"Yes!"

……

In the evening, back home.

Wu Yanzhi began to study the lyrics of military songs, and these soldiers were all peasants, most of whom were illiterate. They can't understand classical Chinese, so they can only write some simple, simple lyrics.

So I turned my head for a long time and wrote a few lyrics:

Thunder swept away thieves, and shocked the rebellion in all directions;

The soldiers shook Mount Tai with one heart, and loyalty should be kept in mind;

The commander treated me like a compatriot, and there were no children in front of military law;

Go to the soup to listen to the order, and the private retreat will definitely be on the ground;

The Son of Heaven Rendebu Jiuzhou, the marquis worships the prime minister.

On the second day, he handed over the lyrics to Bing Cao Jiang Xiaodi, who was actually the only civilian Jiupin official in the Lei Cavalry Battalion, and the other four were all Xu officials.

That Jiang Xiaodi has already contacted a teacher musician, and the composition of this military song is actually very simple. Wu Yanzhi only asked for the momentum in their songs, and there were no other requirements.

……

Right Yulin Army Battalion.

Wu Yanzhi summoned the left and right generals, Bing Cao to join the army, the record, the five captains and others together and discussed briefly.

Zuo Lang General Xu Chao is over forty years old and has served in Zhichong Mansion for a long time. Wu Yanzhi saw that he was loyal to the Jade Imperial Family. In the era when Wu Zetian was in power, most of the people who dared to show their dissatisfaction with Wu Zhou had been killed.

Another right-hand general, Gao Fei, is only about thirty-five, and he is a young and strong cadre.

Wu Yanzhi focused on the military discipline: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Lei Cavalry Battalion is the Northern Ya Forbidden Army approved by the Holy Lord himself, and everyone is looking forward to it. I want to put the ugly story in front of me, anyone who violates military orders must be dealt with according to the law, no matter who intercedes......"

Then, he talked in detail about confidentiality, training, treatment, assessment, and so on.

In fact, it is still very early for this thunder cavalry training camp to become an army. Wu Yanzhi produced more than 20 guns, and this gun is not easy to produce on a large scale, mainly because of the shortage of steel.

In fact, not only is there a shortage of steel, but copper, gold, silver, etc. are very expensive, and pig iron is just as valuable and high-end materials. Because its value is also tens of cents a catty, it is much more expensive than millet and rice in harvest years.

So, if you want to train, the cost of ammunition is much more than that of ordinary infantry. Of course, this thunder cavalry battalion, the imperial court is only equipped with eighty horses, of course, it is still cheaper than the cavalry.

The Yulin Flying Ride is equipped with two horses per person, and the cost of raising horses is not simple. A horse is twenty to thirty runs, plus forage and so on, far better than a rifle of Wu Yanzhi.

"Please rest assured General Wu, the humble post will definitely manage the daily affairs of the Lei Cavalry Battalion!" Xu Chao is very confident.

"Very well, the Holy Authority has sent you to assist me, and he is very important to you. You must also know that this Thunder Cavalry Camp carries the hope of my Great Zhou.

Now the Turks are eyeing each other, and the Tibetans are menacing, and they have just defeated General Wang. Our army was on the right line of Long, almost on the defensive.

If you want to take revenge, although it is not a day's work, but in the lifetime of the saint, we still have to let her old man see the day of revenge! ”
