In the morning light, the dozen or so dew-soaked human bodies hanging from the wooden poles had become extremely stiff. In the trembling eyes and expressions of the many sleep-deprived and yawning newcomers, they continued to hang and sway in the wind, which also made their actions under various orders obviously more harder.

Some of the people who had been injured by the stampede due to night terrors were piled up next to them, moaning lowly, like a kind of background and foil.

Well, a potential hidden danger just disappeared, I couldn't help but sigh softly, there are still some illusions that are not real enough, the rules of this centaur are rough and simple, sneaking at night and disrupting the barracks, no matter what, it is death, as for why they "escaped" into my tent to hurt people, there should not be many people who care

The fireheads who got up early were already fetching water and cooking, and the smoke of steaming began to fill the camp.

Only the leaders had a bowl of hot soup porridge that got up early, and the soldiers only had two meals a day, wild vegetables and black dumplings and coarse cakes with so much sand that they could only receive after three poles of the day.

And the old soldier I was familiar with, he was biting a strip of dried meat, inspecting the behavior of these new soldiers, and his face was very helpless.

These former homeless people, the pole team, tossed for nearly half an hour just to be called up to find their team members.

I can't help but think of the military training of later generations, those college students or something, the group phalanx and various rules that were quickly formed in weeks, but they started from queuing up to cross the road in kindergarten since childhood, and developed order and obedience.

Compared to these displaced people, whose movements and sense of direction are miserable, there is really nothing to compare. However, it is too difficult to expect these mud legs, who have been facing the loess with their backs to the sky for almost their lives, to immediately find a sense of direction and coordination.

Thinking of this, I held the book and listened to their counts, and I couldn't help but show some kind of affection at the corner of my mouth.

"Master, are you also interested in military practice......

The old soldier spoke suddenly, and he seemed to observe me out of the corner of his eye.

"I understand a little, I understand a little......"

I rubbed my protesting stomach and yawned

"The main thing is that I've heard people say a little bit ......"

"I heard more about the children of foreign feudal clans and practiced bow horses, and the Shaoshi regiment trained the government soldiers to prepare for the wilderness ......"

He continued to probe tentatively

"To be honest, I can't remember a lot of things from the past......"

I thought about it for a moment and said cautiously

"But I do remember some ways to reward and punish......

"Oh......"

"Also, would you like to let them go around like this......

I was encouraged to continue to walk at the yellow and white marks that were all over the ground, and the crowd stood on them with such a big grin, stepping on a mess, and the sun gradually emitted a maddening smell.

"Aren't you afraid of the epidemic......?"

"Oh."

Only then did he get his face right,

"If you don't mind, I have some easy ways to deal with it......"

"You can call me Deng Fang, or Deng Juntou."

The veteran let go of his expression and interrupted me.

"Let's ...... Listen"

This veteran named Deng Fang is said to be the township party of Jiang'an, and the former official army who returned to the army, but although he is not the leader and does not lead the team, he has considerable prestige in this hastily woven man.

The idea I gave him, to put it bluntly, was the common last-place elimination system, but the means of rewards and punishments became the share of food rationing.

According to the unit of dozens of fires, the best fire can get half of the ration of the worst fire, and the worst fire is also responsible for cleaning up the dirt and garbage in the camp, and everything else can naturally be overcome under the biggest real threat of hunger.

In the camp for the next few days

The chaotic drill continued, and the ex-outcasts, who could not distinguish between the front and the back, and the left and right, would almost hold the wooden pole and look around blankly, or they would be hesitant and stupid in a daze, or they would turn in the wrong direction with a roar, collide and entangle with others, and then turn into a series of shouting and scolding fights, but at least the walking corpse-like dejection has slowly subsided from them.

Obviously, the last-place elimination system, which uses food as a means of reward and punishment, is slowly working.

So I was summoned again by the leader of the city, who sucked and slurped the soup with a large bowl and waved his hand inarticulately

"Cao Qianzi...... You can get out of the way to the Sentinels......"

"The money and food account of the military status post will be handed over to you, and what you need will be asked for directly by Lao Deng"

"How can it be considered a detachment ......?"

A guy lying on the desk with a sad face, a short guy, was relieved to hear this, and left everything behind

"Yes, these days, my copying hand is shaking and swollen......"

"It's better to go back and find those brothers to play......

As a result, there are further conveniences and treatments, such as giving priority to the selection of some daily necessities or something in the name of checking the few baggage items of this armed arm.

Then it was just a few queue training ideas, such as using a rope to indicate their direction, and those who touched the line were to be beaten; It has also improved and simplified the distribution and calculation methods of grain and straw weight, solved the problem of poor storage and human waste, and it is said that it can save more than a dozen buckets and several liters of material consumption every day; Then optimize the allocation of personnel labor, so that various daily activities can be more durable.

Of course, this qiē has nothing to do with the daily routines and quotas of the leaders. At home, at least the truth is still known, and a newcomer who has no foundation rashly challenges the vested interests in the system for the sake of a little limited effect, which is a brain convulsion.

For this reason, Jiang'an specially asked me to inquire about it alone, and then patted his shoulder and swore that if I did a good job, the great wealth pursued by the rebels would naturally have my part. In the end, the individual was rewarded with a whole piece of old sheepskin that could be draped over the meadow to sleep on.

So I raised my salary a little bit in this group of people, and I could pick two helpers from Ding Pawn to do chores, and get the qualification to start a gang with the leaders.

In this way, I have obtained my first petty privileges and duties in this group, and in order to get rid of the heavy conduct and chores, I can eat earlier than others, and I do not have to scrape the scraps at the bottom of the pot, so that among the new recruits, there are still many who are willing to become my assigned helpers, so that most of the work that requires strength, I can only move my mouth, and I can also receive some meager thanks.

However, does this mean to me, I still have to leave as soon as I have the opportunity, because apart from those women, I feel that there is something unfinished in Luoyang that is attracting me to go.

After slowly collecting and eliminating all the way, after stopping and stopping, after the materials that I had roughly recorded in the account books, because of the gradual increase in the number of heads, were consumed to hundreds of figures, Jiang'an finally decided to pull out and rushed to the next destination.

And I, as the bookkeeper of this little rebel army, will not be responsible for too many things, but it is relatively trivial, but I will also get around those leaders when I have time, playing a crowd of onlookers who like to watch the excitement, coming and going, they are not used to it and habitually ignore it, I, the soy sauce saver.

Therefore, I gradually learned a little about this rebel army, for example, although Jiang'an was born in a small local wealthy family, but in the early years, he went to sea with his father to make a living, and he did not return to his hometown until recent years.

The monkey-like boy next to Jiang'an, named Wang Fu'er, is the son of Jiang'an's family, don't look at his young age, he has the ability to run and hunt in the mountains and forests, so he also serves as one of the pioneers and outposts of the army.

The dwarf in charge of Ziliang is called Cao Qianzi, who is the hair of the Jiang'an, and the companion of the stone and the horse together, and the other dozen or so leaders are either subordinates, or clan relatives, or subordinate township parties, which can be regarded as a small group with local characteristics.

In this apocalyptic dynasty, there are many forces that so-called disturb the world and gather and plunder, and those who are hungry and have no food can be called mobs; Those who fall into the grass and plunder in all directions, and eat on the ground, can only be regarded as bandits or bandits; Those who defend themselves with Wu Fort can only be regarded as half-black and white;

And for those adults who are high up, in the smoke of the world, only those who dare to overthrow the imperial court and call themselves Wang Daogu can be called anti-thieves, and those forces from overseas are uniformly called chaotic parties.

For those high-ranking bigwigs in the court, as a chaotic party with the background of overseas vassals who forced the Tang Dynasty to hunt in the north and the west several times, they are more hateful and dangerous than those short-sighted thieves or wandering rogues.

At the expense of giving up part of the ruling power and not losing the tail, the military towns were set up all over the country to defend themselves by the alliance, and the development has been like self-reliance, and under the name of the only remaining imperial court, the disputes and contradictions between the towns were used to jointly fight against the so-called overseas chaotic parties that originated from the Lingnan provinces.

Of course, because of the division of the feudal domains, these overseas rebel parties are also divided into more than a dozen groups and factions, each with slightly different demands and propositions in the dynasty itself.

Therefore, it has somewhat given these places the space to be armed, to survive and be active for a short time. The flow of these identities is not static, but also full of various kinds of abilities and variables.

For example, among them, a certain township regiment with an occasional local background practiced, because of its outstanding performance or other capabilities, was favored by those military commanders and guards, and became a state and county soldier who ate official food, or a certain thief was raised a butcher's knife to his comrades by Zhao'an because of the danger hài, and even after the leader was whitewashed, he took a great opportunity to embrace a strong backer, and was able to specialize in the important task of fighting thieves and setting chaos, and then accumulated merit to open the government and build teeth, and led the township party to kill one party.

Or the officers and soldiers of the main formation were unlucky, and were broken and scattered in the offensive battle, and became rogue bandits who robbed houses and houses, or the local defenders mutinied because of poor food, clothing, and mistreatment by the officials.

The so-called troubled times are like a melting pot, which has swallowed up too many careerists and dreams of dying before they can get out of school.

And this rebel army, which did not even have a unified banner, was recruited by the leader Jiang'an and those Yin Shi Township Party members, who broke their homes and businesses, and in this Qingzhou territory, there were no towns and villages as a station, so they could only camp in the wilderness and recruit exiles as a supplement.

In order to advocate the shore mouth, the rich and noble cause of conscripting officers and soldiers, this is also a common way out for local armed forces.

But on the whole, this small rebel army is the size of one or two battalion heads, according to the impression in my memory, according to the law of the imperial court, a whole battalion that follows the system of self-government soldiers, must have at least 800 to 1,002 posts, of which knives, guns, lances, bows, crossbows, and even the sentry cavalry chariots and regiments must be fully equipped before they can be counted as one.

But after many years, in this turbulent autumn, in the ordinary town army, guarding, and regimental training, there can be three or four hundred combatable soldiers, which can be regarded as a complete armament, as for the remaining shortage, it is filled with cannon fodder called "repellent", anyway, in the battlefield in the hinterland of Middle-earth, as long as there are cities, villages and towns, how many will be replenished.

This small rebel army was no exception.

Among the more than 1,000 people, those who can really be pulled out to go into battle, that is, those who are born in local Xiaohaoqiang, the leader of the general shore, the township party and men of No. 180, although the weapons are more miscellaneous, but they have more or less a leather case or jacket for self-defense, and their health and nutrition are also better, and there are more than a dozen horses and mules as patrols and guards, which are called "platoons".

The others are all heads pulled by their hometown all the way, and when they really arrive at the front of the battle, they can hold wooden platoons and weapons, stand together in a mess, and they don't run away with weak legs right away, even if they are well-trained soldiers. They only accounted for 30%, short sickles, wood knives, hand axes and the like made them the main equipment, and a considerable proportion of farm tools such as grass rakes,

The only thing that is more decent is the bow team composed of dozens of Orion mountain people, but the length and style are not uniform. These people are collectively known as "pinheads" and are led by a dozen or so big and small leaders who are regarded as henchmen.

Then there were more of them called "pole teams", and the malnourished homeless people who were brought in on the way were not even able to hold the heavier farm tools for long, so they could only take a sharpened pole and stand at the end of the queue with their bodies, and fill up with the mules and horses with their baggage, or rather, the baggage was more important than them.

The daily procession and march consumed most of their bodies, and although they were snatched up one by one like starving ghosts, most of them began to lie on the ground one after another like dead dogs before they had gone far, and they needed to be whipped and scolded one by one before they could continue to move forward.

I don't know when, some people will be scattered while walking, and they have to be collected from the beginning, and sporadic escapes have happened from time to time. In this case,

The platoons in charge of supervision do not have the concept of so-called keeping hands or concerns, and they are full of abuse and beat them to death at every turn, and they are also consumables, consumables that can be replenished anytime and anywhere. If you fall behind, you may not be better off than dead.

At this time, I can come in handy to judge and decide that person can still be saved, and which person does not have to waste food.

Despite this, this team seems to have a good lineup on the surface, so even if you encounter a few small bandits on the main road or something, they will avoid them from a distance, leaving behind those victims who have been looted and shouting for their fathers and mothers.

In such a situation, the rebel army will destroy the opponent who has suffered heavy losses, swallow it as a spoil, or extort a sum of relief money, and then "escort" it to the next town to ask for money.
