Early the next morning, Ma Wannian and Xu Goudan set off for Shizhu Tusi City, and as soon as they left, Wang Huan did not slack off, and still took the displaced people in Wanshou Valley to work overtime in the fields and city construction sites.

The valley bottom of Wanshou Valley is wide, the terrain is flat, the radius is eighteen miles, it is a long strip, the area is about 20 square kilometers, converted into acres, there are about 30,000 acres, these lands are excellent and fertile valleys, plus there is a big pool at the edge of the valley, the water quality is clear and sweet, there is no problem with drinking water for people and animals, it is a natural human settlement. It's just that the stone pillars are scarce, the transportation is inconvenient, and it is far away from Tusi City, so no one lived here before.

Wang Huan took the official road that crossed through the middle of the valley as the boundary, on one side it was divided into a city and a military camp school field, leaving some forest land as a reserve for the future, and on the other hand, it was divided into a field, which was nearly 15,000 acres, and built countless ditches between them with stones as materials, diverted water to irrigate the land, and made this half of the valley floor into a fertile paddy field, and planted some mulberry trees to dot the field.

If someone had been to Wanshou Valley before, and returned here again at the beginning of July of the second year of Hongguang, they would definitely be speechless with astonishment, is this still the primeval valley full of thorns and desolate and uninhabited in the impression? Look at the vast paddy fields that come into view, the vertical and horizontal, countless women and old people who plough the land and plant rice are scattered among them, dogs bark and chickens crow, laughter and laughter can be faintly heard, and there is a thriving rural atmosphere everywhere. Look at the opposite side of the official road, a magnificent city has begun to take shape, up to two feet and five feet of loess rammed city wall, has been built up a long section, many middle-aged men with tanned skin in the sun, shouting the trumpet, with a thick wooden flat shoulder carrying a load of loess from the foot of the surrounding mountains out, come to the city wall to pour the soil into the city wall template sandwiched out of the wooden plank, the wall is lengthened and heightened, from the city wall has not yet been built to look in, the city is also busy, a neat row of earthen houses, has risen from the ground, Although it is simple, it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is the time for meals, and there are many chimneys in the houses with wisps of cooking smoke. There are several tall houses, which look like the location of the yamen and government offices in the city, and they are brick and wood buildings, and they are spacious and magnificent.

On the flat school field in the west of the city, which is big enough to have two football fields, several big flags are waving in the wind, and the rusty "Wang" character can be seen clearly from a few miles away, under the scorching sun, there is a row of shirtless people, only wearing hemp pants The wall stands majestically, Wang Huan sweats and holds a wooden gun, and more than 100 young students stand in a column, standing motionless.

Yes, it is to stand in a military position.

The first lesson of military training after entering a higher education institution was used by Wang Huan to train the first team of soldiers he recruited from the homeless people.

The construction of Wanshou Valley is inseparable from manpower, and the imminent war needs more soldiers, Wang Huan had a headache, and finally had to compromise, and selected young men who have families and are willing to stay here for a long time from the displaced people, and select strong people with simple personalities and loyal appearances, and formed the first team of 100 people, and began to train as the children of Wanshou Valley.

Ma Xintian originally wanted to directly follow the training strategy of the white pole soldiers, but was stopped by Wang Huan, he thought about it for a long time, and decided that this is the first lesson of the army, in the first three months, he should come by himself, according to the military training methods of later generations, personally go into battle, and practice together.

Doing this, there is Wang Huan's deep meaning, firstly, his own body is weak, and he also needs to strengthen his physique in training to cope with the bloody journey in the future; The second is selfishness, Qin Liangyu is full of heroic martyrs, loyal to the Ming Court, although he worships his mother-in-law, he looks up to her on the mountain, but Wang Huan has crossed over, and has already seen the corruption and incompetence of the Transparent Court, and wants him to be a foolish and loyal minister of Kuang Fu Sheji, and fight the world for the incompetent people who only know that behind closed doors and their own people fight each other carefully, it is absolutely impossible, so when the day comes to turn the other face with the Ming Court in the future, it is difficult to guess the attitude of the white pole soldiers, and it is fundamental to firmly control the army in their own hands.

The power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and Wang Huan takes it as a creed.

To master the army, there is nothing more than cultivating a group of officers who can be trusted, taking themselves as their souls, and instilling Wang Huan's will at every level, so that such an army can be called the Wang family's army.

This group of displaced people come from all over the world, and they have nothing to do with the stone pillars, they are all innocent, and they are their own when they practice, and it is a good time to cultivate cronies, so even if Wang Huan is busy, he will throw everything to others, anyway, the construction of the city and the opening of the field have been on the track, and they can be carried out step by step, and they don't need to look at it every day, and they come out and lead the team to start military training with one mind.

Wang Huan in accordance with the idea of building the army of professional soldiers, enlisted in the army can get ten acres of paddy fields, pay five dollars on time every month, food and clothing are worry-free, loyalty is very secure, but all of them are illiterate, one, two, three and four can not be recognized, so Wang Huan is very slight, just to teach them to distinguish between left and right It took a day's effort, and finally there is no way, tie everyone's left hand and left foot with a rope, and educate with a stick, so as to barely achieve the purpose of not appearing with the same hand and foot to call left and right.

Ma Xintian stood at the front of the queue like a green pine, he was the supervisor, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and if someone was lazy, he was responsible for correcting it with a big stick.

He looked at Wang Huan who was standing in the front with his chest up, with a puzzled face, such a way of training soldiers is unheard of, could it be that when he arrives on the battlefield, standing still can win the battle longer than anyone else?

A drop of sweat slowly smoothed down his cheeks, and a tingling itch suddenly surged on his skin, Wang Huan squinted his eyes, endured the fatigue and heat of his body, his hands were close to the seams of his trousers, and he did not move at all, until the sweat flowed to his mouth, he quietly stretched out his tongue, licked the droplets into his mouth, and used the slightly bitter salty taste to slightly dispel the more and more dizziness in his brain.

"Boom!"

A soldier in the queue fell straight to the ground, unconscious.

A few people rushed out of the shade of the tree on one side, lifted the person with their hands and feet, and ran back to the shade of the tree, and applied cold water to their faces to relieve the heat and give first aid.

Ma Xintian pursed his chapped lips, glanced at the corona on the ground, counted the time with a straight face, and shouted: "An hour is coming!" Take a break! ”

The whole queue remained motionless, and all the faces of the people had a look of relief and pain, because the whole body was already stiff, and it had to slow down before it could move, and after a while, it slowly came alive, and a swarm of bees poured into the shade of the trees to surround a few clay jars, and poured cold boiling water.

Ma Xintian walked up to Wang Huan, who was walking slowly like a zombie, and asked with a complicated expression: "My lord, can you hold on?" ”

Wang Huan smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's just pediatrics, I can still hold it." ”

Ma Xintian looked at him at a glance and could see that it was forced to pretend to be relaxed, shook his head helplessly, walked with him to a quiet shade, scooped cold water with a wooden spoon, and handed it to him.

Wang Huan drank a fine drink in one go, wiped his mouth, and regained a trace of human color on his face, and then leaned his back to the trunk tiredly, and closed his eyes comfortably: "Comfortable!" ”

Ma Xintian took the wooden spoon with no drop of water left, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "My lord, the last general heard that the body of a daughter can't sit down, and now that the lord is the lord of the city, why bother to with the soldiers?" Leave such a thing to the last general. ”

He glanced at Wang Huan, who was closing his eyes and recuperating with some anxiety, and said: "And the method of training soldiers is unusual, and it is very different from the practice among the last generals, this is ....."

Wang Huan's eyes slowly opened, looked at Ma Xintian and interrupted and asked, "The white pole soldier has unparalleled military discipline, so how did Mr. Ma Qian train before?" ”

Ma Xintian shook up, thinking that Wang Huan finally realized that the training method was wrong, and wanted to ask himself for advice, so he hurriedly responded: "My white pole soldiers train soldiers, all recruit local people, select strong and brave people as soldiers, teach the method of array and the art of fighting, advance and retreat in the array, advance and retreat when you hear the drums, and retreat when you hear the gold, and the generals are the first, and the soldiers and soldiers are all with the general to advance and retreat, and if you are dead, the deputy general will step forward, and the deputy general will die if you will come forward, and if you are all killed in battle, the queue will come forward from the former, and this is a military regulation, so there is no one who dares to retreat." ”

Ma Xintian said: "At the same time, the training of the army is so, the military discipline must be like a mountain, the order is prohibited, my Tujia children are simple and simple, all generations have been respected by the consolation envoy, and the consolation makes the banner to the direction, even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire are not afraid, so the court said that I am a strong soldier, and every battle must be relied on." ”

Speaking of this, Ma Xintian's expression was proud, and a blatant aura overflowed with words.

Wang Huan praised from the bottom of his heart: "A good military discipline is like a mountain, this is the magic weapon of the white pole soldier to dominate the world, but how did this military discipline be practiced like a mountain?" ”

Ma Xintian was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "This, when training the soldiers talk more, fight more, and teach more, the soldiers will naturally remember it, and if there is a violation, it will be dealt with in accordance with military discipline." ”

Wang Huan asked with a smile: "What else?" ”

Ma Xintian scratched his scalp, Rao is personality is calm as a mountain, and he was also a little apprehensive at this time: "Then? Then, then ......"

Wang Huan said: "Let me tell you, in fact, Ji Senran, the white-pole soldier, according to me, the biggest reason is the source of soldiers. ”
