On the third day of the first month of October, a team of teenagers drove into the North Mansion, and now the people who came to see the courtyard have all been replaced, and the guards here are more than ten small yellow doors sent by the South Mansion to Lao Cheng, but what surprised them was that they were left in the outer courtyard, and they were not summoned after receiving a strict order, no matter what happened inside, they were not allowed to step further, let alone hear and see the outside world.

Some of the teenagers came here for the first time, looking around curiously, this courtyard is slightly smaller than Nanfu, but it is also the size of one hundred and fifty acres, divided into two courtyards, just past the front yard, before they can say goodbye, the door to the backyard was locked by the small yellow door that led them. In front of them was a martial arts arena one hundred and fifty paces long and one hundred paces wide, surrounded by tall locust trees, and there were weapon racks and some strange-shaped shelves on one side of the field.

The huge martial arts arena was quiet, and there was no one here except for their group. The cold wind blew, everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks, they looked at each other with a blank face, and their faces were not very good-looking, no one knew what Lu Dao was going to do here, and no one cared about what they were doing here. In the face of the empty square, it seems that they are becoming more and more insignificant, and people can't help but be timid, a few people don't know whether the road is cold or afraid, and they can't stop squeezing into the crowd, they may feel that this will be a sense of security, looking at their appearance, if there are not many people, and they are all men, maybe they will cry.

However, there are also those who can't be idle, seeing that no one cares, they run to the martial arts arena and pick up the big knife, or climb up and down on those shelves, and play happily according to their own understanding, as if they are not worried about their current situation at all, and they are playing loudly and loudly calling the people who come with them to play together???

"Whoever let you run around, stand back!" After about half an hour, a guy came out of nowhere, and reprimanded loudly.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Yong, where did you get the clothes you were wearing, they look so good!" Everyone fell, and some people quickly recognized this guy as Zhao Yong, who took them to work every day a few days ago.

"Hee-hee, it's good-looking, I think it's good-looking too!" Zhao Yong laughed, put his hands in his trouser pockets, let everyone admire his new clothes, this dress is definitely a fancy dress in this era, black tweed fabric, the top is a pinched waist design, a small collar is added to the neck, four close-fitting pockets, with brass buttons to look at the spirit, the lower body is a crotch fat dudu, tight breeches under the knees, plus a pair of medium and high-waisted riding boots, a palm-wide belt tied around the waist, with a long-brimmed high-top flat-top tweed hat, how handsome! As long as modern people are a military fan, they can see at a glance that there is a shadow of the German SS uniform in this dress, but the hat looks like the French army, no need to ask if this is Zhao Ta's masterpiece again.

"Zhao Yong, why did you arrive, we have been waiting for a long time!" Zhao Zhong drank the wind in the square for a long time, and now seeing Zhao Yong's smug look, he said dissatisfiedly.

"Brother Yi, you are playing with us, in order to welcome you in the past few days, my waist is almost tired!" Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Yi and said with a crying face as if he saw his relatives.

"Alright, don't pretend, let's bring someone over!" Zhao Yi dodged Zhao Yong, who pounced on him, and said coldly.

"Okay, I'll take you there!" Zhao Yong shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression to Zhao Yan, who was laughing behind him, and said disapprehantly, "Brothers, if you want to wear new clothes, come with me!" After speaking, he took the lead and led everyone to a courtyard on the east side of the martial arts arena.

When the teenagers stepped into the courtyard, there were already people waiting in the courtyard, it was Zhao Ren, Zhao Li, who had disappeared for more than ten days, and Zhao Li, their attire was no different from Zhao Yong, welcoming everyone's arrival with a smile on their faces, "Everyone has worked hard, I welcome everyone's arrival on behalf of the prince!" Zhao Ren has been working with the chief steward Zheng Lu in the past few years, and he has been treating people and things in a good way, and he hugged his fist and said.

"It's a good thing to gather everyone here today, but it's also a chore, and we will serve as the prince's personal companion, which is something that many people can't ask for???" As soon as Zhao Ren's words fell, the young people below blew up, and the prince's personal entourage was the person around the prince, not only was he high, but he might also be able to fight for an official body in the future, glorify his ancestors, and shadow his descendants.

"Now the court is not quiet, robbers are rampant, the prince is alone, he has been in danger repeatedly, it can be said that someone will harm him at any time, we people can't do it without good physical skills, everyone says right?" Zhao Ren asked loudly. ,

"Yes, Brother Zhao said yes!"

"Brother Ren said it well!"

"That's it, it's ???" The people below replied in a chaotic manner, but their emotions were also mobilized, and now their deeds are in the mansion, and the prince is their food and clothing parents, so it can be said that they are in solidarity with the prince and become one.

"Okay, what the brothers said is good, from today onwards, we will be the people around the prince, no matter what we do, we must think of the prince first, be loyal to the prince, and dare to die for the prince!" Zhao Ren said passionately, what he said was sincere, in the past few years, the prince has never treated them as people, but got along like friends, and there are many teenagers below who have the same idea as him, the young man is simple-minded, and he is also enthusiastic when he instigates.

"We came here today to practice our skills, protect the prince, and kill all those who are not good for the prince, and I want to tell you a good thing, that ???" Zhao Ren looked at everyone with a long voice and smiled and said, "In the next few days, the prince will live with everyone, train, and serve as everyone's captain!" "There is no need to ask that there is another cheer below, in the past, seeing a county order was like seeing a god, and now being able to get along with the prince day and night is really an exciting thing for these newcomers.

Next, Zhao Ren organized the new 50 people according to the roster, and divided them into five groups: A, B, C, D, and E, with 10 people in each group, and then appointed a team leader. Then, under the leadership of their respective team leaders, each group went to the warehouse to receive clothes, quilts and daily necessities, and lived in their respective dormitories.

??????

"Hmph, it's a pity that this Zhao Ren is a miscellaneous recorder, if you go back to the past to be an instructor and be fully qualified, this is like what you have taught!" Zhao Ta chuckled lightly and closed the door to end the 'voyeurism'.

"It's a pity that there are only more than fifty people now, in the previous life, it was a reinforced platoon, and I only had fifty soldiers as the captain of the prince, when will I have a general, only then can I have the strength to dominate one side???" Zhao Tan sighed and sat on the chair, counting with his fingers.

According to the establishment of the Song army, it is divided into four levels: box, army, battalion, and capital. The chamber has jurisdiction over ten armies, five battalions under military jurisdiction, and five capitals under the jurisdiction of battalions. Each of them had a hundred men, and each of them had jurisdiction over two men, and each of them had fifty men, and ten of them were organized into a group. The commanders at all levels are: Xiangdu Commander; The commander of the military capital, the military capital is waiting, the commander is the commander, the deputy commander; Dutou (Ma Jun called the military envoy), deputy head (Ma Jun called the deputy soldier and horse envoy). The command (battalion) is the basic unit of the forbidden army, he is only half of the capital now, and the supreme commander is a captain, and he is still 108,000 miles away from his wishes, so it is no wonder that he is depressed. However, Zhao Ta quickly came out of the frustration just now, anyway, the pro-army shelf has been erected, and now it can be regarded as the first step in building the army.

Zhao Ta's decision to do this was not an accidental whim, it can be said that he has been thinking about this issue since he came to this world. As a descendant, he is well aware of the weakness of the Song Dynasty army, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Song army has lost more than won many battles with the Liao and Xia nomads, excluding political reasons, the most important thing is that their army is mainly infantry, and it is difficult to compete with the enemy's cavalry.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the northern military defense area was mainly Hebei and Hedong regions, and the two places have been military important places to resist the north since ancient times, the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran, the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Turks, the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty and the Khitan all attacked and defended each other here. Compared with Hebei and Hedong regions, Hebei is particularly heavy, and Fu Shi Bi said: Hebei all the way, for the world fundamental! Because the Northern Song Dynasty was not in the Guanzhong area where the mountains and rivers were solid in the past, nor was it in the Yiluo River Valley, which was heavily congested, but in Kaifeng City, which had convenient transportation but no danger, then the Hebei and Hedong regions replaced northern Shaanxi and Hexi as the most rear-back barrier to protect Gyeonggi.

At the same time, the Khitan, the opponent in the north, controlled the military important places in the sixteen states of Youyun, which posed a threat to the Song Dynasty from time to time. If Hebei is not solid, then Henan cannot lie down. "The flat avenue at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain in the west became the best choice for nomads to go south, and most of the Khitan invasions in the Song Dynasty in history also marched from there. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin soldiers because of the breakthrough here, except for the Yellow River moat, there was no danger to defend, although the Song army was numerous, but it was peaceful for a long time, and it was mainly infantry, it was difficult to stop the rolling iron hooves to break through the plain, and finally ended up destroying the country.

In the history of Chinese and foreign wars, although there are many examples of infantry defeating cavalry, but most of them rely on powerful infantry phalanxes, or special geographical conditions, when infantry can really compete with cavalry, or after the appearance of firearms, especially after the emergence of repeating rifles and artillery, which is also the reason why Zhao Tan is determined to make muskets in this era, no matter how difficult it is.

Zhao Ta's establishment of the pro-army was made after watching the training of the people, and these people practiced cold weapons, and they also used the tactics used in cold weapon combat. It is completely different from building an army based on firearms, combat ideas, concepts, and even the tactics to be used, to make changes, he can't do it alone, which requires the efforts of a group, he now wants to plant his own pro-army as a seed, let him sprout and take root, and continue to grow, and to make this seed grow into a big tree, he also needs his hard work!
