Chapter Twenty-Three: Do You Want to Eat Meat?
Regardless of the pain on his body, Zhang Yu asked his men to take out all the grain he had hoarded overnight, and asked his subordinates to take out all the grain they were selling in their grain store, barely scraping together 100,000 stone of grain, and handed it to Liu Ping.

"Zhang Dashan, the people of Cangzhou will thank you." Liu Ping looked at Zhang Yu, who was low-eyed and pleasing in front of him, and said.
The general was serious. Doing things for the generals and the people is the blessing of the villain. It's what villains should do. Zhang Yu had a flattering smile on his face.
"That Master Zhang, even if I borrowed the grain from you for the court, when the food and salary of the court are allocated, the official will definitely pay you back." Liu Ping said lightly.
Zhang Yuxin said: "You thief with the army, you borrowed it for the imperial court?" Phew, the court doesn't necessarily know about you, you are occupied by the Jin people all around, how can the court have any food and salary, where can I wait for you to pay me back the food. Although the pain in my heart was incomparable, there was a happy smile on my face:"
Where the general says, it is the blessing of the villain to be able to serve the court, share the worries of the general, and relieve the difficulties of the people. ”
Liu Ping smiled and patted Zhang Yu's shoulder, and slapped Zhang Yu straight into his teeth. "Zhang Dashanren, I just like to see you talking nonsense with your eyes open, haha・・・・・." ”
Liu Ping turned to leave, but a trace of viciousness flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes behind him, but it was buried deep in his eyes in an instant. His face was full of flattering smiles.
"The general walks slowly~~~~."
Na Ke beside him said to Liu Ping: "General, that Changyu, I don't think he is a good guy, I'm afraid he will secretly stumble." ”
"As long as he has the guts, he will try." Liu Ping didn't care.
Liu Ping stored 70,000 stone of the 100,000 stone of grain, distributed the remaining grain to the porridge factory in the city, and launched an initiative to call masons in the city to repair the city, once the repair of the city defense was carried out, then all the refugees who were relieved had something to do, each person only needed to help to do chores, moving wood, bricks, a day is ten yuan reward, so as to ensure that the repair can have enough labor, the construction period can be carried out as scheduled, and prevent the refugees from having enough to eat and have nothing to do.
After three days of conscription and recruitment, the number of soldiers recruited by Lin Chong and Yue Fei greatly exceeded the quota of 2,000 given by Liu Ping, reaching nearly 5,000. Liu Ping was overjoyed and took people to the military camp in the east of the city to check on the recruited soldiers. At the same time, he held a meeting with Yue Fei and others; The 5,000 recruits were divided into 1 battalion, 2 battalions, 3 battalions, 3 battalion guards, and one battalion guard 1*, the first battalion was handed over to Lin Chong's commander, the second battalion was given to Yue Fei, and the third battalion was given to Zhang Xian. The rest of Niu Gao and others also became the deputy battalion guard commanders, and at the same time, Lin Chong did his old job and became the head of the newly established Xiangwei Army.
In fact, according to the regularity, even if it is a militia regiment under the local reserve, although it has a regular establishment, it is actually far from the Northwest Frontier Army and the forbidden army in the capital. In the third year of Qiande (965 AD), Song Taizu collected the elite soldiers from all over the country and became the forbidden army, and the remaining old and weak soldiers remained in the local area, called the "Xiang Army", which was subordinate to the Guard Division (in fact, it was only the "name" of the Xiang Army). The box soldiers are mainly engaged in various types of labor, so they are also called "conscripts". The labor of the Xiang soldiers probably includes: the East and West Eight Divisions of the capital, the Cattle and Sheep Division, the Imperial Courtyard, the Armory, the Houyuan Workshop, the Houyuan Craftsman, the North and South Workshops, the Ayajin Courtyard, the *Yuan, the East and West Water Mills, the East and West Kilns, the Imperial Kitchen, the Imperial Kitchen, the French Wine Depot, the Oil Depot, the Vinegar Depot, the Buku, etc., as well as the Buyi and Ma Di Shops (Horse Delivery Documents) in Kaifeng Prefecture.
In fact, in addition to the members of the eliminated army, there are also prisoners who are assigned to the state to serve as the box army, which is called "matching the army"; In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the border states and governments had reached more than 400,000 troops, although the Xiang army was only a local army and conscripts, but after all, it was an organized military group, and it was easier than ordinary people to even get the attention of the officials defending the city and lead the way to resist the enemy. The resistance of the Xiang Guards is low, there is no strong fighting style, so Liu Ping must train this sheep-like team as soon as possible into a group of teams that dare to fight against any enemy!!
Liu Ping finally arranged the 5,000 recruits, and his head turned and he had some ideas. Liu Ping said to the henchmen beside him: ; Now, we have newly formed the Cangzhou Xiang Guard, but which of these soldiers are capable talents, and which ones are honest and mediocre soldiers who are not to be used?"
"General, don't worry, wait for a while, train and train, and the good and the bad will be separated." Yue Fei arched his hand.
"No, no, now, all around us have been captured by the Jin army, and most of the cities on Hebei Road have been captured by the golden thief Wanyan Zongwang. Sooner or later, he's going to have his sights on us, so we don't have that much time to wait, and we find out with time and training. It is imperative to find available talents as soon as possible and build a combatable army. ”
"Whoever has a good idea, come and hear it." Liu Ping said to everyone.
"Well, I think I should train these recruits well* first, as the saying goes, filial piety comes out under the stick, and good soldiers come out under the horsewhip, as long as you repair and repair well, you can always make a few good pieces of iron." Niu Gao said on the side.
"I think it's better to let the recruits get used to it first, and then talk about it after the training." Lin Chongdao.
"I have an idea..." Liu Ping said, his eyes narrowed, and he explained to everyone.
The next morning, Liu Ping asked all the soldiers in the barracks to assemble in the school yard early. Let this group of recruits run around the school field for more than a dozen laps under the leadership of the veterans before stopping, and everyone who was tired was a little physically exhausted.
At this time, Liu Ping ordered the gang to slaughter more than 10 big fat pigs on the spot on the school field, remove the hair and pick up the bore, set up a large pot in the middle of the school field, put in water and salt, seasoning, and began to cook the meat. Many of the soldiers were children of poor families, and they probably hadn't eaten pork a few times in their lives, but now this large piece of pork was tumbling in the cauldron, wafting out bursts of aroma, and the roundworms in the stomachs of the Zhijiao people were screaming, so that the hungry eyes of the soldiers who had not eaten since they got up early were about to fall. If it weren't for the group of veterans who were watching with knives and guarding the side, I am afraid that everyone would have rushed up and snatched them all up.
Liu Ping strode forward, stood tall in the school field, and shouted at many soldiers: "My name is Liu Ping!" It's your Vanguard's commander. ”
"See General Liu!" Many soldiers saluted.
Liu Ping's soldiers saluted and said, "Get up!" ”
"General Xie." The soldiers responded.
Liu Ping looked at everyone, and then shouted loudly: "From today onwards, you will all be my soldiers!" I don't care what you did in the past, but from today onwards, you will be part of the Guard. It doesn't matter if you know me or not, it doesn't matter if you know who I am, the important thing is that from today onwards, I will make all of you remember me! Remember me firmly! Did you hear clearly?!!! ”
"Clear!" Many sergeants responded.
"Are you all? Don't even have the strength to speak!! Ah, tell me louder, do you hear me?!! Liu Ping shouted loudly!
"Clear!!" The loud responses of many sergeants resounded throughout the school.
"Hungry or not!!" Liu Ping shouted at the many sergeants.
"Hungry!!" Many soldiers responded one after another.
"Do you want to eat !!?" Liu Ping walked to the nearest cauldron, inserted a large piece of cooked pork with chopsticks, and took a hard bite. Gulping down and looking at everyone.
"I want to ~~~!!!" Shaking the heavens, it seems that people are the most united when they are hungry, and the answers of everyone are unusually loud and neat.
"Hehe, you can eat if you want, you have to be worthy of it!" Liu Ping swallowed the pork in his mouth and shouted loudly.
"Dare to ask the general, how can you deserve to eat?" A bold soldier looked at Liu Ping and asked.
"Good question, how to eat meat, of course, you have to have the ability." Liu Ping said, pointing to the rows of veterans behind him.
"I saw this group of more than 100 veterans around me, these are all good men who have accompanied Lao Tzu in the gold camp and killed seven in and seven out! One-on-one heads-up, the blade is chosen by yourself, and those who can support these veterans for more than a dozen rounds, and if they don't fall, go to Captain Lin to register their names, and you can go to eat meat. Of course, you can also go over there and see if there is. Liu Ping pointed to the shooting range behind him, and then said:
"If you don't want to fight with the veterans, you can go to Captain Zhang Xian at the archery range, as long as you can pull the hard bow of the nine buckets, you can still shoot the target, and you can also eat meat."
Liu Ping cleared his throat, and then said: "There are also those who can ride horses, and if they are good at riding, they will go to Captain Yue's side and pick a horse, and those who can carry the horse lance around the school yard can also eat meat!" Liu Ping was completely shocked by the horse lance cavalry of Zong Ze's Xiao cavalry battalion that day, in the era of cold weapons, it was a humanoid tank. All he also wanted to form a cavalry regiment. Temporarily under the management of Yue Fei.
"After Lao Tzu finished speaking, if you want to eat meat, give me some real skills, as long as you have the ability, you can eat meat in a big gulp, if you don't have the ability, the broth will not be your share." Liu Ping said loudly.
For a while, many soldiers went to what they were good at. Against veterans, against veterans, archery against archery, on horseback, but there are still some soldiers who are at a loss and don't know what they can do.
Liu Ping shouted again: "As long as you have craftsmanship, as long as you know what others can't, you can eat meat!" ”
"General, the villain will strike iron to forge weapons." A soldier said.
"You can go and eat meat." Liu Ping said.
"General, villains can write and calculate." A white soldier said.
"Can write? Okay, go get the Counsellor to register, you can go eat meat! Liu Ping said.
"General, villains can raise horses." A soldier said.
"You can go and eat meat"
"General, I'll make thunderballs."
"Okay, let's go eat meat."
"General, the villain will... will learn to bark at the dog."
"Get out of ~calf~~sub!!"
