Li Qin listened to Jia Xu's voice become quieter, and he knew in his heart that Jia Xu was afraid that others would hear it, after all, Jia Xu's thinking was based on the actual situation of Fujiaobao now, and he chose the most realistic method of army building, which was different from the current army expansion ideas of many generals nowadays.

Not all, but most generals are willing to take a one-step approach to expand their army, and directly equip the best army, such as Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, Liu Bei's Bai'er Soldiers, Lu Bu's Trap Camp commanded by Gao Shun, Ma Chao's heavy cavalry, Shu's last elite Wudang Flying Army, etc., are all representatives of elite soldiers in this era.

But these armies have a characteristic, that is, once the main general is finished, the army disappears, in other words, these armies appear with the appearance of famous generals. Just like a skilled craftsman, outstanding craftsmanship is only known to himself, or left to his children, and becomes an ancestral craft without teaching it to outsiders, so that the method of military training is like a flash in the pan, and the development of strong soldiers has no sustainable surname, and the army fights less and less, not more and more!

If Li Qin wants to build up an army, he must not take a narrower and narrower road, but must take a wider and wider road, and he is not afraid of others to learn the method...... Because he didn't know the specific method himself, he crossed the river by feeling the stones, and walked the road of three gangs of heroes, and everyone collected firewood and flames.

In this way, it is very important to go from simple and complex, from low to high, step by step, and the most basic army in this era is the pikemen.

Nodding, Li Qin also whispered: "What my brother-in-law said is reasonable, first of all, we must train pikemen, and then train other arms, cavalry is easy to say, Daliangqiang has good riders, the key is archers and scouts, there must be." ”

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Archers are also good at training, when the arrows are released in array, a hundred steps away, the accuracy is not particularly important, as long as the bow can be fully opened, the arrow is tightened, and when the enemy is close, the elite archer will release the arrow, learn from each other's strengths, and cooperate with the shooting." ”

Li Qin hummed and said: "You can train a group of soldiers with archery powers, who specialize in shooting the enemy's main generals, and use them as snipers. ”

"Snipers? Well, it's a good name, as the name suggests, I think snipers can be used by scouts, scouts are the best at stealth, you look at that black egg, sneaky all day long! Jia Xu smiled and pointed to the black eggs in the crowd.

Li Qin looked over, but saw Wu Danzi standing on the outermost part of the crowd, and everyone else was standing on tiptoe, but he was half bent over, only occasionally straightened up, quickly glanced at Jingqi on the door panel, and then bent down again, just like a small animal with a very high alert surname, and looked left and right from time to time.

Li Qin smiled: "This is called habit becoming natural, let him change it, he can't change it!" ”

After talking for a while, the two went down to the roof and went their own way. Li Qin went home again, hid in the house, and carefully thought about how to evaluate the soldiers and select the right soldiers.

The next day, Li Qin got up early and came to the threshing floor alone, but saw that there were already many people sitting on the field at this time, all the horn soldiers were there, even Dian Wei was there, and Jia Xu was also there, which was really energetic and energetic.

Seeing Li Qin coming, Jing Qi hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Captain, will Mr. Teacher let my father be in charge?" He didn't plan to practice medicine in the city, but wanted to become a doctor in the castle in the future, and teach everyone to read and write in his spare time. Lieutenant, rest assured, my dad will definitely be able to write four words! ”

Li Qin smiled, glanced at Jia Xu, nodded and said, "Cheng, then let your father come, we are our own people and we are all easy to discuss, but we can't let your father be busy in vain." ”

Jing Qi hurriedly said: "No, no, my father said that he doesn't need money to teach, so he wants to be busy in vain." "His father Jingchun did this, of course, for him, and wanted to lay a foundation for him and expand his contacts.

Li Qin did not agree, and he must pay his wages.

He knew very well in his heart that if Jingchun came and didn't charge money to be a teacher, then he would raise the threshold for entering Fujiaobao, he didn't want money, and he would be embarrassed to ask for money when others came in the future, and many people came here, not only to have food and drink, but also to have money that could make their families live a better life, if they didn't give money, there would be fewer people coming.

Only by doing good deeds and being good people and not causing good people to suffer losses will there be more people who do good deeds, and if good people do good deeds but have to suffer losses, then there will be fewer people who do good deeds. Now the situation in Fujiao Fort is that people who have the ability can come, that is, they do good deeds, if they do not pay others, in fact, it is equivalent to damaging the interests of those who do good deeds, and there will be fewer people in the future.

What Li Qin wants is a fierce general like a cloud, a strategist like rain, just relying on his own one-third of an acre of land to select, then where can it be!

After talking about Mr. Teaching, Li Qin clapped his hands and said, "Beat the gong, gather everyone, the sun is all drying your buttocks, are you still lazy!" ”

Jing Qi smiled: "Everyone slept late yesterday, and I couldn't get up in the morning!" He ran and fetched a gong, and it rang loudly, waking up the whole village.

Xu Xiaoni shouted: "Brother Qin, do you want to talk about recruitment?" Then I'll go and call the people at the castle too!" ”

Li Qin waved his hand and said, "No need, let's go over there while beating the gong." He raised his voice and shouted, "Whether you can be a soldier or not, come with me, I will treat everyone to a good meal at noon today!" ”

After saying this, he went out of the village first, and did not ride a horse, but the people followed behind him, striking gongs and shouting loudly as they went, so as to attract the attention of others.

Walking all the way, when the three poles were called, they arrived at Fujiao Fort, and those who could keep up followed, and when they reached the outside of the fort wall, the number of people was almost the same.

Li Qin climbed the fort wall and looked at the people below, it turned out that there were more than 1,000 people from Fujiao Village, plus the newly recruited people in the past few days, plus Daliangqiang, it seems that it is estimated that 400 strong men will not be able to get together, but 200 will be no problem.

Li Qin said loudly: "Fellow villagers, let's have two meals today, one at noon, and another meal after dark, all of which are good." I slaughter a camel and invite everyone to eat camel meat. That hump is a good thing, only the emperor and officials in the capital can afford to eat, let's have a luxury today, also eat a camel, taste fresh! ”

When Li Tian and Jia's father heard this, they all stomped their feet in distress, this is too loser, camels are big animals, I haven't seen them a few times before, and finally there are dozens of them, and they want to slaughter and eat meat, what meat can't be eaten, why eat camel meat!

Father Jia said: "Your son, nothing is hot, there are some good things, you have to toss them clean!" ”

Li Tian was distressed, but he didn't want to listen to others count Li Qin, he said: "Didn't you hear, the hump is a good thing, my son wants to honor me, you follow the borrowing light, and you still talk so much nonsense." ”

Father Jia said: "Okay, okay, your surname is Li, so you have everything to justify, my surname is Jia, everything you say is fake!" ”

Li Qin on the wall continued: "There is not much work left in the castle, but it is all meticulous work, so I want the old people and women to do it, the old people have experience, the women are careful, they do the most suitable work, everyone says right?" ”

The people below nodded together, and they all said that they were right, in fact, if Li Qin didn't say that, they wouldn't feel anything, but when they said this, they felt that it made sense, and they didn't think about it deeply.

Li Qin said again: "The rest of the people don't care about their age, as long as they are gentlemen, everyone follows me to run circles around the castle to see who can run better." However, if I stop, who can run again, who can run the most laps, and who picks the meat to eat when eating camels, how about it, fair? ”

After entering Fujiao Fort, most of the men naturally had the idea of becoming a soldier, knowing that Li Qin was testing the skills of a big family, but such a test method was unexpected. Running around the castle, regardless of background, regardless of nationality, and treating everyone equally, it is very different from other big officials recruiting soldiers.

Li Qin got off the fort wall and shouted: "Whether you eat meat or drink soup, it all depends on your ability!" He began to do preparatory activities, warm up.

The horn soldiers are used to running with him, so they will naturally do these actions, and when other people see it, they also follow suit, but it's a bit messy, and they ask while doing it. If the horn soldiers dared to ask while doing this, they would have to be whipped, but this time Li Qin didn't say anything about the people, didn't forbid them to ask, and repeatedly said the benefits of warming up, without a look of impatience.

The body moved, Li Qin began to run around the castle, and four or five hundred people followed, all of them were old, and even Ma Chao ran with him, don't look at his young age, but he was quite realistic, and in the first half of the circle, he did not lag behind.

The circumference of Fujiao Fort is about one mile, Li Qin's circle is slightly larger, about three miles, and there is nothing in the first lap, except for those who really can't run in the elderly, and children, most of the adult men have followed, and they don't see how tired they are!

Li Qin looked back, and then ran a second lap, but this lap he picked up his speed and threw it away in stride, almost running with all his might!

The people behind, the horn soldiers all followed, and there were dozens of strong men, all of whom followed closely, but many men fell farther and farther away, especially the Qiang people, most of them are lap legs, good at riding horses, and they can even sleep on horses, but if they get off the horse and run, it will be worse.

Li Qin waved his hand at Jia Xu, who was watching, Jia Xu understood, and he began to count, noting down what he could run and what his ranking was.

By the time of the third lap, it was already six miles up, and the men behind could run, but it was not easy to run fast.

Sweat flowed down Li Qin's forehead, and he also began to snort, and he estimated that he wouldn't be able to hold on for long!

After the third lap of running, the horn soldiers behind are still all following, and there may be strong men who follow closely, but there are only a dozen of them, after all, few people in this era run like this, if they practice, it is estimated that there are more people than Li Qin can run, but the first time, everyone is a little unaccustomed to it, and they can't adjust it well.

On the fourth lap, Li Qin's speed slowed down significantly, he knew that he was about the same, even if his physique was super good in this life, but he could run more than twelve miles in one go, and it would be fine, he couldn't run away with all the strong men at one time, and he would slowly improve in the future.

When the fourth lap was finished, he stopped, and when he looked back, the horn soldiers were still following closely, he usually didn't train them in vain, but the strong men, who could follow closely, were less than ten left!

But there are less than ten people, but none of them show fatigue, as soon as the expert comes out, he will know if there is one, obviously these strong men are good runners, and they are the long-lasting scuds of the late Han Dynasty!
