The training base of the "security team" was naturally heavily guarded, and when Zhong Youpeng walked more than 100 steps away from the base, patrol members of the "security team" had already come to inquire about it. However, with Wang Feng, the head of the first section of the Ministry of Security, this kind of questioning became a routine matter -- not to mention that Wang Feng also produced a document issued by the committee, asking the "security team" training base to fully cooperate with Wang Feng and leave a deep impression on the guests who came with Wang Feng.

After verifying his identity, Wang Feng instructed the accompanying guards to greet the convoy that was still waiting on the side of the road to enter the training base for a while, and on the other hand, accompanied by the patrol captain and a member of the team, led the Zhong family father and son to the direction of the gate of the training base. Since the committee had previously authorized Wang Feng to show Zhong Youpeng the strength of the team, he accompanied the Zhong family father and son, and at the same time signaled to the patrol captain beside him, asking him to send a letter to the people in the base in advance, so that the people in the base could be prepared.

The patrol captain is also a shrewd person, so he naturally understands the meaning in Wang Feng's eyes. While greeting the Zhong family father and son diligently, he looked for an excuse, took off a little bit, and whispered to his subordinates, telling him to go to the base to report the news quickly, saying that the twenty-seventh master came to the base to inspect, so that everyone could raise their spirits, so as not to make the twenty-seventh master unhappy. The security guard got the order, and immediately left the group in the name of informing the director of the base, and rushed to the training base to report the news.

Hearing that it was Wang Feng, one of his bosses, and Wang Twenty-Seventh Master came to inspect, Director He of the training base naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly beckoned the managers and instructors at all levels in the base to prepare for themselves. Some of them went with him to greet him outside the base gate, while others gathered all the security guards who were trained here to conduct drills for the Twenty-Seventh Master when needed.

Before Wang Feng and his entourage reached the gate of the base, Director He of the base had already led a group of people out to greet them. After Director He led the stewards and the head of the sect to salute Wang Feng, he invited Wang Feng and his party into the training base.

When I entered the gate of the base, the first thing I saw was a small courtyard. There is a row of houses on each side of the courtyard, and there is another gate directly opposite the gate. When you enter the second gate, you will be greeted by a very wide empty field -- the "security team" training ground. In the center of the training ground, there are six to seven hundred security guards who are training in the training base. Although the second gate is still a little far away from the security guards lined up in the training ground, it is enough for the Zhong family father and son to feel the majestic momentum of this group of security guards, which makes the Zhong family father and son, especially Zhong Youpeng, subconsciously take a few more looks.

The expressions of the Zhong family's father and son were naturally seen by Wang Feng, and he led the other party to the review stand on the north side of the training ground, and introduced: "According to the current regulations, the 'security team' trains a batch every three months, and each batch ranges from about 300 to 500 people. Ding Zhuang, the 'security team' who has completed his training, will be assigned to various properties of our brothers to serve as a family care home. Ding Zhuang, the 'security team' who was assigned, rotated every six months, and those who were rotated would be arranged to return to the training camp for another three months of training to maintain their combat effectiveness. ”

As he spoke, Wang Feng pointed to Ding Zhuang, the "security team" who was lining up in the field, and continued: "The more than 600 people in the field now are composed of two Ding Zhuang, the team on the left is newly recruited and has been practicing for less than two months, and the team on the right is the old man who was replaced from various industries last month, and has been working for at least more than a year. ”

Zhong Youpeng listened to Wang Feng's introduction, and looked at the two teams of Ding Zhuang. At this time, he was already much closer to the two teams than just now, and after careful observation, he found that the two were indeed a little different. Although both teams were just standing there, it could be seen that one of the teams was more restrained and serious, presumably it should be a newcomer who had just started training. The other team is more calm and relaxed, looking like an old soldier, and naturally it is the old pawn of that team.

After distinguishing between the new and the old Ding Zhuang, Zhong Youpeng turned his attention to what Wang Feng said just now, the training cycle of the so-called "security team". He calculated a little, and said to Wang Feng with some surprise: "According to what the virtuous son-in-law said, this 'security team' was established the year before last, so it should have been more than two years by now, and Ding Zhuang must have trained more than 3,000 people, right?" ”,

Wang Feng waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "Not so much, not so much." The regulation mentioned by the son-in-law is that this mansion was built and there were enough places for the 'security team' to train Ding Zhuang, and before that, the scale of the 'security team' has not been large, usually only a few dozen people participate in each batch, and the Ding Zhuang trained in each batch is very limited. Therefore, since the establishment of the 'security team' the year before last, although a total of 10 batches have been trained, the total number of people is only about 2,000. ”

"Two thousand," Zhong Youpeng said thoughtfully, "Two thousand people are not a small amount to train in two years, not to mention that with your thoughts on that 'Flying Dragon Army', it is not easy to have such an achievement." Thinking that the old man and those anti-Liao friends have worked hard for seven or eight years, invested a lot of money and energy, and now there are only four or five thousand private soldiers who can be gathered. ”

I don't know if it was a temporary leak, or it was intentional, Zhong Youpeng inadvertently told Wang Feng about the liliang he and his friends who conspired against Liao. However, no matter what Zhong Youpeng's intention was in saying this, for Wang Feng, it was naturally impossible to get this news. Although the crossing team did not expect much help from the armed liliang in the hands of these local powerhouses to expel the Khitans, it was still very useful for the crossing team to know the true strength of the other party - at least when deciding the question of the ownership of command, the side with the military advantage would take the initiative.

Of course, the advantage in numbers is not necessarily the advantage in combat effectiveness, and only by showing the strength of your subordinates can you make the opponent more convinced. Therefore, Wang Feng was not complacent because he knew the liliang comparison between the two sides, and after inviting the Zhong family father and son to the review stand, he instructed the training camp that had been following him to take care of things, and ordered him to immediately order the two teams in the field Ding Zhuang to conduct a drill, and ask the Zhong family father and son to correct.

He Guan naturally didn't dare to slack off when he got the order, and immediately asked the head coach of the training camp to go down to organize. The head coach had to give the order to go, and after a while, the two teams in the training ground took action.

The first to play was the team of new Ding, because the time to participate in the training was still very short, so this team of Ding Zhuang only performed a military posture and simple fighting boxing, neither a weapon drill, nor a group confrontation. This kind of exercise naturally won't attract too much attention from the Zhong family father and son, especially when I saw that this team of Ding Zhuang except for Zuihou playing a very simple set of boxing techniques, the rest of the time just kept turning directions and walking in line on the field, and the boring content made the Zhong family father and son feel very boring.

After watching patiently for a while, Zhong Shiwen asked Wang Feng with some puzzlement: "Sister-in-law, although the foolish brother doesn't know soldiers, he has also read a few military books when he was idle before. According to the military book, in addition to teaching the soldiers the method of technical attack and the cover and cooperation between each other, the most important thing in military training is this formation, such as the 'one-word long snake formation', 'two dragons out of the water array', and so on. But although the foolish brother watched this team of Ding Zhuang walking around in the field, it didn't seem to be practicing the change of formation, but just the appearance of daily marching. Although they are all newcomers, they have been practicing here for almost two months, could it be that in addition to that simple set of boxing techniques, they have only learned how to march and walk? ”

Wang Feng nodded when he heard this, shook his head again, and said, "What the eldest brother said is neither right nor right. Yes, according to the training regulations of the 'security team', the content of Xinding's three-month drill is mainly based on this queue, that is, what the eldest brother said, turning around and walking around, and it will be in the third month that the weapons drill will be carried out, and some simple formations between three or five people will be learned. Moreover, when they have been in the home for half a year and come back for the second exercise, the content of the drill will be roughly the same, except that the time for queue training will be shorter and shorter, and the training time for squad formation coordination will be longer and longer. The reason why our brothers use this method of training is not that we do not understand the method of military training, or that we do not understand the method of military training in Middle-earth, but that this method is more suitable and effective for the 'security forces'.

On the one hand, our brothers did not set up the 'security forces' to allow them to charge into battle and fight the Khitan army face to face. Our brothers established the 'security team' only to let them play the role of thugs and protectors in their various industries, so that the 'Flying Dragon Army' could concentrate on preparing for the war against Liao, and did not have to spend energy on these trivial matters. Since the 'security team' only has to deal with some ruffians who pick quarrels and provoke trouble, it is enough to learn some simple boxing techniques and weapons, and learn some simple and practical methods of squad coordination. The methods of battle formations recorded in the war books are only used when the army is facing each other, and it is useless to learn the 'security team' at this stage, so why bother to learn it. ,

On the other hand, the team of newcomers who were going around and walking around the field just now seemed boring, but in fact it was very useful. One of the biggest functions is to cultivate the obedience of these newcomers. Let them form a habit, a habit of 'obeying orders and listening to commands'. Only in this way can they obey the command of their superiors, can they order and prohibit, and can they give an order, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front, they will not hesitate to rush forward. Only when they have done this can they complete the first step of transforming from ordinary people to qualified soldiers. ”

"Is this just the first step? And what are the second and third steps? How long will it take for these 'security teams' Ding Zhuang to complete all these steps and go from a citizen to a soldier? Zhong Shiwen asked.

Wang Feng shook his head after hearing this, and said: "As a 'security team', Ding Zhuang will never be able to complete the transformation from a civilian to a soldier, because for the vast majority of them, completing the first step, plus some technical skills and team cooperation drills, is basically enough for them to perform their duties, and there is no need for them to do the next steps." ”

Listening to Wang Feng's use of the word "vast majority" in his answer, Zhong Shiwen wanted to know what the situation of the other minority that was not included in it was. As a result, before he could ask a question, he was attracted by the movement in the training ground.

At this time, the team of newcomers in front had retreated to the side of the field, and standing in the middle of the field was the team of veterans. Unlike the new Ding, who mainly lined up and hand-to-hand boxing, the old Ding all held weapons. Although they were not too close, the Zhong family's father and son could still feel the cold aura emitted by those spears, broadswords, and even shields. Looking at the little cold light reflected on these weapons, the thoughts of the Zhong family father and son flashed in their minds almost at the same time - no matter how powerful this "security team" is, at least one thing Wang Feng said is right, that is, the weapons of this team are far better than those of the Khitan villagers.

The subsequent drill of the old Ding completely changed the Zhong family's father and son's view of the "security team", the strict phalanx of spearmen, the flexible formation of sword and shield men, and the tacit cooperation between the spearmen and the sword and shield hands after being mixed all reflected that this was a well-trained team, far from being comparable to the new team just now.

After watching Lao Ding's drill, the Zhong family father and son agreed that Wang Feng's introduction to the "security team" just now was either to deliberately belittle its strength in advance, and deliberately take the lead with a weak team, and then appear with a strong elite to shock the father and son. Either the strength of the "security team" is indeed inferior to the "Flying Dragon Army", and it is not valued by Wang Feng and his brothers. If it was the former, although the Zhong family father and son would feel uncomfortable, it would be nothing more, and there would be no other feelings. But if it is the latter, then what kind of strength will the "Flying Dragon Army" that has been talked about by Wang Feng but has not yet seen its true face be, the Zhong family father and son can't help but think about it.

The Zhong family's father and son were thinking nonsense there, but the drill of the "security team" Lao Ding below had ended. Wang Feng, who was quite satisfied with Ding Zhuang's performance, did not forget to humble himself in front of the Zhong family's father and son, and said: "Ding Zhuang has not joined the 'security team' for a long time, and there are many flaws and omissions in the exercise, which makes the father-in-law and eldest brother laugh. ”

Zhong Youpeng was busy recovering his mind when he heard this, and said, "The virtuous son-in-law is too modest. Although the team of new Ding has been practicing for less than two months, there is nothing outstanding, but the team of old Ding in the back is quite elite and already looks like a strong army. The virtuous son-in-law had said before that the 'security army' was much stronger than the Khitan villagers, and the old man didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that what the virtuous son-in-law said is true. When the villagers encountered a big war, they were just paving roads and setting up camps for the Khitan army, and rarely went to fight the enemy face-to-face. And the 'security team' under the virtuous son-in-law said that it was to protect his own property and act as the guardian of the family, but in fact, it was restrained by military law drills, and once it was assembled into an army, its combat power was only afraid of being similar to that of the world's strongest armies. ”
