The barracks of the new army are on the bank of the Luoshui River in the west of the city, and the recruitment on Fugui's side is very smooth, and he directly found Song Laosan to pull in the rebel soldiers who were selected in Luoyang City before. The salaries of the new army www.biquge.info were extremely high, and most of the children of these poor families were impressed by the high salaries, and in less than two days, the number of them was recruited.

Wang Mai was a little stumbling here, not because the number of people was not enough, but because there were too many people who signed up, far exceeding the original quota of 300 people. Most of these people are scholars from poor families who feel hopeless in their careers, but there are also many sons of families like Lao Zheng's two nephews.

The new army gathered for the first time, and Li Er came with his new horse Zhou Yaowu. Ma Zhou, this kid, was directly awarded the record of the palace, and his official position was not high, only nine grades, but it meant that he had officially entered the official career. And he is also responsible for assisting in the management of Shu Shu Biaoqi, and has become Li Er's pen, which can be regarded as a senior secretary. This treatment can definitely be regarded as crossing the dragon gate, it is hard to say whether it will become a dragon or not, but it is true to accompany an energetic dragon every day.

Strictly speaking, this new army is no longer a new army, after all, most of them are the old foundation of the Luoyang Righteous Army, so it looks like it is lined up, and it is in stark contrast to the team composed of 400 soldiers who are making noise next to it.

"Brother Mai, if you want me to say, these scholars shouldn't come to the barracks, look at it, what has become of it? Scholars should sit at home and study, and they are afraid that they will not be able to go to war. Fugui whispered to Wang Mai. He really didn't want these readers, and it always felt weird for a group of big people to get in the middle.

"You are the commander of the first army, you can't even handle this little thing, what are you talking about?" Wang Mai said angrily.

"Then I really think of them as soldiers?"

"Whatever you want."

"Good!" As soon as Fugui gritted his teeth, he began to shout in a loud voice, "Quiet! This is a barracks, not a school, who talks casually without permission, and the military stick is waiting! After speaking, two big men in charge of law enforcement walked coldly to the front of the team of scholars and looked at these people with a sneer.

These scholars looked at the military judge holding the stick, and then at the fierce and unspeakable rich and noble, all of them were silent, and immediately quieted down.

Cheng Yanjin nodded beside him, although Fugui is young, he matures quickly, and this voice is really a bit deterrent.

At this time, two teams of people walked into the ranks of soldiers with military uniforms and distributed military uniforms to them one by one.

"Listen to my orders, start changing clothes now, a quarter of an hour is the time limit, and those who overdue will be dealt with according to military regulations." Fugui gave the first military order with a cold face.

"There wasn't even a tent for us to go where to change?"

"There is a reed swinging ...... by the Luoshui water"

"A quarter of an hour is too short......"

For a while, it was a pot of porridge again.

"What's the noise?" Fugui was made big by these flies, and he roared again.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly stopped, and they all looked at Fugui with blank eyes, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Wang Mai finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said coldly with his hands: "This is the army, no etiquette, only fists, if you want to become a real soldier, throw away all these rags, start now, put down your poor dignity, because it is worthless here!" ”

This ...... "Look at me, and I look at you, but no one will move."

"The timer has begun, military law is merciless, you can do it yourself!"

"Good!" There was a chorus of peace in the ranks. Wang Mai took a closer look, it turned out to be Lao Zheng's nephew, it seemed to be his brother, this guy was also ruthless, gritted his teeth, and took off himself naked in three or two strokes, leaving only a crotch cloth.

"Mr. Wang is right, put down the shelf of the reader, take off!" When the younger brother saw that his brother was naked, he did not hesitate, and quickly stripped himself naked.

"Take it off!" There was an earth-shattering shout from the schoolyard, and in a short time, there were four hundred more naked bodies.

Li Er nodded, and this gave rise to the meaning of some soldiers.

I took it off, but when I saw the clothes and armor on the ground, everyone was in trouble again, and these clothes and armor were so bulky and heavy that it was not so easy to put on.

"The most trustworthy person in the barracks is your comrades-in-arms, now immediately find your teammates around you, help each other, and put on military uniforms."

As soon as the words fell, everyone understood, whether they knew each other or not, they pulled the people around them to form teams in pairs to put on their clothes and armor.

Fugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was Brother Mai who understood the thoughts of these readers, and solved the problem in a few words. He cleared his throat and said, "From now on, the answer to the name is "to", and your squad leader will lead you back to the class. ”

In order to distinguish himself from other armies, a new structure of squads, platoons, companies and battalions was deliberately adopted, with Fugui as the regiment commander, and the rank was originally a colonel. These things are harmless, Li Er is happy, Wang Mai has no opinion at all, anyway, it won't be long before he has to be crowned "Admiral Tiance", so he should be regarded as a five-star general.

"Zheng Yunhong!"

"Here!"

Wang Mai took a closer look, and it turned out that the elder brother of the Zheng brothers was called Zheng Yunhong. After a long time, I was called my younger brother's name, Zheng Yunyan, but he was assigned to the artillery camp.

The artillery battalion is a battalion that Wang Mai insisted on establishing, with the veterans who operated the ballistas as the skeleton, and more than 100 newly recruited soldiers, and it is the only battalion with more scholars than ordinary soldiers. These people are all selected among the scholars who are good at arithmetic, and Wang Mai values them the most.

"The cannon you're talking about is being operated by these people?" Li Er looked at the chaotic artillery unit with interest.

"It will be in the future, but we have to wait until we study the artillery, the explosion rate is too high......" Wang Mai shook his head. There's no way, the smelting process can't keep up, and the exploded bronze barrel is full of bubbles, no wonder it can't withstand the power of the explosion. Li Er had already ordered the secret casting of artillery, hoping that there would be one or two qualified barrels in it. It really can't be done, so you can only use stupid methods to make steel, which should be stronger than copper artillery.

"The Luoyang Weapons Supervisor has already cast three gates, and it should be almost the same in the past two days......" Thinking of that kind of weapon that can open mountains and crack rocks, Li Er's heart was on fire.

"Don't worry, it's not a day. Even if the problem of exploding is solved, the charge and projectile will require a long attempt, not a short period of time. "This thing only knows one principle in vain, and it is estimated that there will be no results after a few years of attempts, and at present, the ballista is the most practical.
