Time rushed by like water, and three months had passed since the first start of military training.

After three months of hard training, the results were unusually obvious, and the atmosphere in the entire barracks was completely new. All the items in the barracks are orderly, neat and tidy. The soldiers were all full of energy, and the lazy aura on their bodies had dissipated, revealing a capable atmosphere from the inside out.

Geng Jingzhong used all the military training methods that he could think of in his memory in the barracks, and made detailed regulations on everything from personal hygiene to collective military discipline, and at the same time abolished some inhumane parts of the original military discipline. The seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings were too harsh, and some places did not require murder and other punishments could be done, and he didn't want his soldiers to be under death threats all day long, and their spirits were highly stressed, and when the time came, they would make a battalion or something.

At the same time, Geng Jingzhong's breeding business developed near the barracks was fruitful. There are many mountains and rivers in Fujian, and there are many soil and mountains around Fuzhou, and it is a good farm to enclose the soil and mountains. The weeds on the soil and mountains are luxuriant, the cattle and sheep eat grass, and the pigs and chickens and ducks are only a little more grain, not to mention that the insects in the grass are the favorite of chickens and ducks. A large number of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock and poultry are raised, but it does not take much effort. Not only breeding, the waters near Fuzhou, the Minjiang River is connected to the sea, there is such a natural treasure house, Geng Jingzhong will certainly not turn a blind eye, specially sent people along the Minjiang River to go to the sea to fish, this not only provides the army with a large amount of fish and meat is more than enough, but also for him to open up a new financial route.

In the barracks, there are three meals a day, and there are enough pork, chicken, duck and fish, which is simply a cafeteria for later generations. You must know that at this time, ordinary people only ate two meals a day, and the landlords and gentry only ate one meal of meat for three days. Therefore, although the military training is hard, these soldiers do not care. The food is good, the body bones are much stronger than before, and everyone shows a healthy ruddy appearance.

Geng Jingzhong and a group of generals stood on the high platform, watching the neat and solemn soldiers below maneuvering the phalanx, with long spears and uniform movements, and the orders were forbidden, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"The prince is really a genius in the world, even if Qi Shaobao is alive, it is just like this, looking at this military formation, the last general still thinks that he is in a dream. Such an elite soldier can be a ten! The deputy general Zeng Yangxing reported to Geng Jingzhong and hugged his fist and saluted.

"Yes, the last general has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has never seen such a majestic team, even the Eight Banners can't compare!" Ma Jiuyu next to him also agreed.

"You are serious, most of the soldiers in the field have never seen blood, and they are not elite soldiers. Especially the original green battalion soldiers, who had never been on the battlefield and did not know the danger of the battlefield at all. So, I'm ready to suppress bandits and train my troops! ”

"Bandits?" "Bandits!"

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard of the bandit suppression and serve the prince!"

Others also immediately reflected: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard of the suppression of bandits and serve the prince!" ”。 Suppress bandits, in the eyes of these generals, this is the opportunity for the prince to give them meritorious service! Local officials are promoted by political achievements, and in the army they rely on military merits! Now there are no major wars in the world, and there are no military merits to be gained, so you can only boil up your qualifications, and it is too slow to come out!

A few years after the war in the south had just subsided, Fujian was mountainous, and the dangerous mountains were the best hiding places for bandits, and because there was too little arable land in Fujian, bandits were rampant in various places, and robbing large households, kidnapping tickets, and robbing passing merchants had become a cancer that had to be eliminated in Fujian Province.

Therefore, Geng Jingzhong is ready to use these bandits to train his troops, so that these soldiers can see blood, and at the same time, he will also practice the military books and war strategies he has learned for more than half a year.

"This crackdown on bandits, not only in the Fuzhou area, but also in the entire eight prefectures of Fujian, Fuzhou, Xinghua, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Yanping, Jianning, Shaowu, and Tingzhou, will be led by a general and led by 2,000 men and horses to be responsible for the suppression. I have asked the princesses in various places to arrange the grain and grass, and everyone has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so don't earn it. Let's prepare for this military parade first, my father is waiting to see the results of our three months, don't embarrass this world! ”

"I will not disappoint the world!" The generals replied in unison, but everyone's faces were extremely excited, eager to immediately lead the troops to test the combat effectiveness of the new army and earn military merits.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On the school field, on the high platform, King Jingnan looked at the solemn army below and couldn't believe his eyes. Although he is old, he has led soldiers for decades and has been fighting horses all his life, and he still has the eyesight to judge whether an army is elite, and it has only been three months, is this his own army in front of him?

"Father, can you announce the beginning?" Geng Jingzhong lowered his head and asked Geng Jimao.

"Let's get started, I want to see your results in these three months, too." Geng Jimao nodded.

Geng Jingzhong stretched out his hand and shouted: "Begin!" ”

As soon as the flag in the hands of the herald at the starting station waved, the herald below shouted: "The pacesetter is out of the ranks!" ”。

With that, a group of carefully selected soldiers, spears in hand, entered the center of the school field first. All of them were the best of the military training, specially selected, tall, short, fat and thin, with spears in their hands neatly aligned as if they were one, and steadily moving forward along the pre-drawn white line. The leader holds a red flag, and a white tiger is lifelike on the flag. It was Geng Jingzhong's own design of the military flag, the Tiger Flag, and the army was also named the Tiger Army by him, concise and clear!

There is no doubt that as soon as the pacesetter appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the stage. This feeling is as if Geng Jingzhong was watching the national flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square, and the national flag guard suddenly appeared from the direction of Jinshui Bridge. The atmosphere of the audience suddenly became solemn. Geng Jimao's gaze was completely attracted by the pacesetter soldiers, full of curiosity and expectation.

Every movement of the pacesetter attracted the attention of all the audience. Walking in unison, walking in steps, running and walking, every movement looks extraordinarily novel. The pacesetters walked into the school yard, stopped and saluted the high platform before continuing. These standard movements from more than 300 years later aroused Geng Jimao's great interest, and every movement was watched intently. When the leading pacesetter comes to a place with white spots, stops, stands, turns, and picks up the gun. Although these movements seem very simple, they are the result of three months of training, and it is impossible for ordinary people to do them.

"Split, let's go!" The herald shouted, "Go, go!" ”

The first square was the Shanzi Battalion of the original battle barracks, and under the leadership of Hao Qingshan, the leader, three hundred soldiers were arranged into a rectangular solid phalanx of sixty by five. The flag bearer at the front walked in the front with a slightly smaller tiger flag with the word "mountain" written on the top, representing their tiger army mountain battalion.

There is no doubt that the three months of intensive training were fruitful. This effect is far from comparable to the half-month assault training in high school or college. A rectangular phalanx of 300 people, marching in unison, moving forward steadily, the sound of stepping is like that of one person. The bright tiger flag, under the illumination of the sun, is particularly eye-catching.

"The army is like a tiger, invincible!" Three hundred people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

"Walking, walking!" When he walked to the front of the high platform, Zhang Lingyun ordered loudly.

"Smack!" Hearing this, the soldiers immediately raised their spears upright and diagonally, horizontally on the right side of their bodies. At the same time, their pace has also become a positive step. The footboard is raised high, and every time the footboard falls, it makes a snapping sound.

"Look to the left!" "Chitose Wang! Chitose Wang! ”

Geng Jimao couldn't help but stand up from the chair and shouted loudly: "Okay! There are really no words to describe how they feel right now.

"Ready, go!" As soon as the first phalanx led by Hao Qingshan walked by, the phalanx of the Yongzi Battalion immediately walked over.

Next, sword and shield men, crossbowmen, and musketeers appear in turn. Their expression made Geng Jingzhong quite satisfied, and secretly thought to himself that Lao Tzu's silver was not in vain.

The distance of dozens of meters in front of the high platform is the stage for all the soldiers to perform, and they show their military appearance to the fullest, which makes the old prince Geng Jimao keep applauding loudly!

"You have done a very good job, Zhong'er, the mental outlook of an army often determines its combat effectiveness. After watching this military parade, I realized what kind of elite soldiers you have trained for our family! ”

"Father, this is what a son should do, this is the capital of our family, and the son naturally knows the severity!"

"Well, it's good that you know, originally I thought that Wu Sangui's soldiers were strong and strong, but now I am sure that our 20,000 soldiers and horses are worth his 100,000 male soldiers! The only people he can call elite soldiers there are only the five thousand Guan Ning Iron Cavalry. ”

"My son will continue to work hard, and our strength will far surpass him in a few years!" Geng Jingzhong's face is now full of confidence.

"You let it go, the generals will obey the order!"

"The last general!" The surrounding generals immediately responded.

"From now on, the army will be taken over by the prince Geng Jingzhong, and all affairs big and small do not have to be reported to me, but to the prince of the world."

"I'll take my orders!"
