Originally, Gao Shun planned to let the village protection team be stationed and trained in Hulu Valley, but Ma Gui objected: "General, Hulu Valley has not even built a city wall, if we let the village protection team come to station, it will be inconvenient for us to build and affect the construction progress; Now there are 6 more people every day, and they can build Hulu Valley very well by their own people, and let them move in after the infrastructure construction is completed.

Gao Shun thought about it for a while, and decided to let Li Qiang lead the cavalry to be stationed in Zhao Village, 3 miles away in the west, and some of the rescued people who did not participate in the village protection team also went to live in Zhao Village and were responsible for the logistics of the cavalry team; The infantry was stationed in Taiping Village, and Zhao Xiong was responsible for training and protecting the safety of Taiping Village.

So he said: "Okay, now you are fully responsible for the construction of the Hulu Valley base; After the outer valley is called Taoyuan Fort, take the meaning of Xanadu, the inner valley is called Bibo Fort, take soil from the mound outside Taoyuan Fort, fill in Taoyuan Fort and Bibo Fort, at least keep the soil thickness at more than two feet, and all are built as fertile land; And according to the model of Taoyuan Fort city wall, the city wall of Bibo Fort was built, the military camp and the city lord's mansion and warehouse were built in Taoyuan Fort, and the residential area was built in Bibo Fort; And build the road from Bibo Fort to Taoyuan Fort to Taiping Village, which should be at least 6 meters wide and paved with stone slabs. ”

"Yes, General, I promise to complete the mission." Ma Gui is full of confidence in the construction of Hulu Valley.

Gao Shun returned to Taiping Village, and Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong said the method agreed with Ma Gui, Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong agreed very much with this arrangement, they went back to Hulu Valley to see, the construction speed is very fast, if the construction continues at this speed, it will begin to take shape in another 1 month, at most half a year, it will be a beautiful town with complete defense, and there is a large area of wasteland around Zhao Village, which is more suitable for cavalry training than in Hulu Valley.

Gao Shun also arranged Zhou Yong, the commander of the sword and shield soldiers, as a material commissioner, who was responsible for purchasing meat, vegetables, tools and other affairs in the county seat, which also facilitated the transfer of food supplies from the system to the village protection team.

On the first day of the first month of March, all the members selected for the village protection team reported on time, and Gao Shun first distributed a set of leather armor, clothing, shoes and socks to all the members; The cavalry was assigned a war horse, a 3 stone bow, 1 iron arrow, a spear and a waist knife, and all cavalry should be familiar not only with horse archery, but also with horse warfare; For the infantry, except for the archers, who were equipped with bows and arrows and waist knives, the rest of the personnel all practiced spears.

According to Gao Shun's order, the diet of the members of the village guard team was changed to 3 meals a day, the cavalry ate one meal of mutton or pork every 3 days, the infantry ate one meal of meat every 6 days, and the rest of the time drank large bone broth, or ate stewed vegetables from beef and sheep, and the corn was full. The women who have returned from the rescue are responsible for the cooking, while those who are not part of the village protection team are responsible for transporting supplies, taking care of horses, repairing houses and roads, etc.

Now I don't know when the Huns will retaliate, when the strength is weak, Gao Shun did not dare to reclaim the wasteland on a large scale, and prepared that after the weather warms, all the Taiping villagers and the rescued people will be relocated to Taoyuan Fort and Taiping Fort, so that these people can try to plant cotton first. It would be more appropriate to leave the wasteland to the Yellow Turban Insurgents who will be rescued next year to cultivate it.

In order to increase the nutrition of the soldiers, Gao Shun racked his brains, not only brought bean sprouts to the soldiers' table, but also made soy milk; Sesame oil and soybean oil were also quietly added to the soldiers' diets.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, vegetable oil existed, but it was not used for food, and was mostly used for lighting, candle making, waterproofing, shipbuilding, and lubrication. All edible fats and fats are animal fats.

Li Qiang hoped to give the cavalry a certain combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, so he increased the intensity of training; In the morning, they trained archery, cavalry and physical fitness, in the afternoon they trained in horse warfare and group cooperation, and in the evening they explained the horns, flags and other command terms and the way to convey orders, arrange the formation, etc., and they fell asleep every day when they were tired, and they had squeezed out all their potential.

Zhao Xiong's training is much simpler, mainly physical training and group cooperation, their individual ability is limited, it is impossible to fight alone with the enemy, they must maintain a certain formation, rely on the strength of the group to defeat the enemy, but their training is a lot, every day from dawn, in addition to eating is training, even the villagers of Taiping Village feel shuddering, which is training soldiers? It's like doing coolies, and many people sigh secretly, fortunately, they didn't join the village protection team, and the salary is not easy to get.

For the advancing infantry, Gao Shun did not give up, and transferred 10 war horses to Taiping Village alone, and those who were willing to practice riding had 1 hour to train every afternoon.

Long-distance jogging is the best way to improve physical fitness and endurance, and both cavalry and infantry have to run back and forth between Taiping Village and Zhao Village every morning.

In order to exercise arm strength, I have to do thousands of times a day just chopping or stabbing movements.

Discipline is the basis for the army to maintain strong combat effectiveness, there is nothing complicated, the military discipline of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been formulated very comprehensively, but the implementation is not enough, it was completely copied by Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong, and it was strictly implemented.

Every soldier is training hard, they are eager to be at the top of the assessment at the end of the month, and even if they can't become a captain, it's not bad to be a captain, besides, everyone is training hard, comparing with each other, and no one wants to fall behind.

Gao Shun was very satisfied with the training attitude of the soldiers.

Of course, complaining is indispensable, and Li Qiang and Zhao Xiong's way of dealing with those who complain is to increase training efforts, and declare: "Anyone who can defeat me can take my place, and there will be no need to train so hard in the future; Not to mention that you are just letting you train, when you get to the battlefield, you must obey the command and rush forward even if you know that you will be killed, and the mission of the soldier is to obey the command and obey the order. ”

Gao Shun also instilled in everyone the idea of "sweating more in ordinary times, and bleeding less in time", the alien race has lived on horseback since childhood, and has achieved "the unity of man and horse", they are all excellent warriors, if they don't train hard, how can they fight against the alien race and defend their homeland?

Gao Jian didn't understand this training method very much, so he came to Gao Shun, hoping to let his son go home and stay every day; Gao Shun retorted: "Uncle, the enemy doesn't only attack during the day, the soldiers must be ready to fight at any time, and only let Gao Qiang go home to stay, so where is the military discipline?" Why do you command other members? If military discipline is lost, defending the homeland will become an empty word, and who will desperately resist when the enemy attacks? ”

The old village chief also felt that the intensity of this kind of training was too large, several times greater than the intensity of training when he was in the border army, and it was easy to injure the soldiers' bodies, so he proposed to Gao Shun to reduce the intensity of training and train every other day.

The officers and men of the Han Dynasty can become a strong army if they can do a major training in 10 days and a small training in 5 days, and the training intensity of the border army is even lower, and it is good to train once a month.

Gao Shun said: "Taigong, haven't you noticed that the food of the village protection team is very different from that of the border army? As long as the food keeps up, such hard training is only good for them, and there is no harm in it; Besides, I don't want to spend so much money just to raise a bunch of lazy goods, and defending my home is not an empty word. ”

However, the effect is significant, by the end of March, after a month of training, these people have initially had the appearance of soldiers, individual walking and standing have a certain standard, the team can also carry out simple cooperation, everyone's body has undergone earth-shaking changes, the body began to grow muscles, and the complexion is also a lot more ruddy.

These people are like seedlings that have been in drought for a long time, moistened by rain and dew, and begin to grow rapidly; They used to be children of poor families, and few of them had enough to eat, and most of them did not even have access to meat during the Spring Festival. Now corn and rice are eaten casually, one meal of meat every three days, and there is usually a large bone broth and various vegetables, and a good diet is the motivation for these soldiers to persevere; Of course, they can also feel the changes in themselves, which makes them train harder.

On March 28, Gao Shun was very satisfied with the results achieved, and decided to pay a month's salary, give everyone a 2-day holiday, return to the team on the afternoon of the 29th, and select the captain and the chief on the 30th, and accept the challenge of outsiders on the first day of the first day of April, and the challenger is not limited by age.

He also stated that he would pay his salary on the first day of each month in the future.
