Xu Jiabao held a grand celebration banquet for Xu Hui, and everyone of all ages drank happily.

In the evening, Xu Hui and his father finally decided on a series of matters related to military training, Xu Hui insisted on training with his own method, Xu Zhong insisted on following the old methods of the Western Army, and finally agreed to train with Xu Hui's method for two months to see the results.

Early the next morning, Liu Er beat the gong to wake people up door to door, and the young and middle-aged people in the village gathered in the threshing floor in the south of the village, knowing that Xu Yanei was ready to start conscription.

Xu Hui divided the militia into standing militia groups and auxiliary militia groups, with the standing militia quota of 80 years old aged 15 to 30 years old, and the auxiliary militia quota of 200, aged 15 to 40 years old. In response to this conscription, Xu Hui prepared a strategy of three indications. First of all, it is to show its benefit, clearly telling everyone that to be selected for the Standing People's League, they need to be trained all year round, the food is guaranteed to be full of meat every day, and three meals a day are implemented, and the government and the Xu family will also greatly reduce or reduce the rent of their fields. Selected as an auxiliary militia group, training in his spare time, farming when he is busy, and mainly acting as a defensive force in wartime, the government and the Xu family will also waive a small amount of land rent. And in the future battles, if there are casualties, they will give a pension that exceeds the forbidden army.

Second, it is to show fierceness and introduce the standards of this conscription, there are four stone piers in the field, two large and two small, the large one is 200 catties, and the small one is 50 catties, and the standing militia needs to be able to hold two small stone piers flat for one minute, and the auxiliary militia needs to be able to hold one 50 catties forward with both hands for one minute. Those who can lift two large stone piers can be the team leader. In order to deter these people, Xu Hui raised two large stone piers with both hands, and waved his arms, and danced the stone piers with a total weight of 400 catties.

Third, it is to show strictness, Xu Hui formulated five military discipline beheadings: first, those who are afraid of the enemy and do not move forward without authorization will be beheaded; 2. Those who do not obey the officials and do not listen to orders will be beheaded; 3. Those who spread rumors and demagoguery will be beheaded. Fourth, if the training is not effective and lasts for a long time, it will be beheaded; Those who oppress the people and harm good families will be beheaded. In addition, some punishments with slightly lighter punishments such as caning and caning have been formulated. At the same time, the third brother Xu Jian was appointed as a military judge.

As for what ideals and aspirations he said, Xu Hui didn't say it, and there is no need to say it now, ideological education should be done slowly.

Then the recruitment activity in full swing began, Liu Er and Wang San also wanted to try it, they had followed Xu Hui since childhood, and they also practiced martial arts, all of which could lift two hundred catties of stone piers with both hands, and the position of the two squad leaders could not run.

After a morning of screening, a team of 280 people has been pulled up, plus 20 people have been deployed from the family, making up the number of 300, and the Xujiabao militia, the predecessor of the Xu Jiajun, which will be famous in all directions, has been established.

In the afternoon, the training of 100 members of the standing army began, and Xu Hui selected the method that could best temper people's willpower according to the common methods of modern army training.

Although the weather in April is not very hot, but after an hour, only Xu Hui, Liu Er, Wang San and Liu Can, the widow of the Liu family, are still standing on the field, this Liu Da is one year younger than Xu Hui, and he usually has a tenacity, and he is also a brave and ruthless master.

"Okay, that's all for today, Liu Er, inform the guys, stew meat for everyone, and prepare some salt water for everyone to drink." Persisted and did not sit down.

"Yes, Yanai." Liu Er got up from the ground and returned weakly. Xu Hui didn't care that he still called Yanei, waved his hand, and walked home.

In the evening, the sergeants of the Standing People's Regiment enjoyed their first meal of meat since joining the army, and as Xu Yanei said, they were full and went home happily after dinner.

After training like this for half a month, the military posture training was good, and Xu Hui also added five kilometers of cross-country to everyone since the tenth day, of course, without weight. On this morning, Xu Hui had just returned from a five-kilometer cross-country with his team, and someone from his family came to report that the county lieutenant of Yuanshi was coming.

Back home, Xu Chongzheng was talking to a middle-aged man in the main hall, and this man must be Wu Pei, the county lieutenant of the Yuan family, and the word Zhiyun. Xu Zhong saw his son coming back, and hurriedly called: "Wulang, don't come to see Captain Wu yet." ”

"Meet Lieutenant Wu, it's really hard for you to travel for the trivial things in Xujiabao District." Xu Hui hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Where is the virtuous nephew, I have been friends with your father for many years, and such things are not a problem, but the virtuous nephew is really amazing, I heard a few days ago that you are famous in the Zhending Poetry Club, and today you assisted your father in military training, it is really both civil and military." Wu Pei stroked his beard and smiled.

"Uncle Wu praised it falsely."

"Now that the virtuous nephew is here, Zhong Yuan, let's talk about business, the official appointment of the dynasty has come down, and the virtuous nephew Meng Yin accompanies the lieutenant Rong, and the dispatch is the training envoy of the Yuanshi County People's League. In addition, Governor Li knew that at the beginning of the founding of the militia group, there were many difficulties in all aspects, so he specially allocated 8,000 taels of silver, and I also brought it with me. Wu Pei said.

"Thank you, Brother Zhiyun." "Thank you, Uncle Wu."

Wu Pei was invited to a banquet at noon, and after eating, Wu Pei went back to the county seat to resume his life.

The equipment brought in was only weapons and no armor, but the weapons were still eight or nine percent new, and it was not easy to deal with the militia groups. After counting, there were 200 spears, a simple knife, 100 bows and arrows, and countless matching feather arrows. These weapons are enough to equip the militia temporarily, but the protection of the soldiers is a big problem. With wooden armor? First of all, not to mention that it is difficult to choose the right wood in the north, the old one rocket with a wooden frame has become a roasted whole sheep, leather armor, too luxurious, not to mention iron armor.

Seeing Xu Hui's brows tightened, Xu Zhong saw his son's thoughts: "Gorou is worried about the armor?" ”

"Yes, Daddy, they are all good sons of my Xu Jiabao, and a little more protection always makes me feel more at ease."

"Don't worry, it's difficult to do business now, and there are still hundreds of cowhides in my Xu family's warehouse to make leather armor." Xu Hui said indifferently.

"Daddy, this is your accumulation over the years, how can my son bear it?" Xu Hui couldn't bear to say.

"Gorou, you have grown up, you have ambitions, you have goals, you should do the things that go through the heavens and the earth, be the person in the heaven and earth, and your father supports you."

"Daddy." Xu Hui's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

With Xu Chong's full support, the protection problem of the militia was solved, and each of the 100 standing militia soldiers made a set of leather armor to protect vital points.

With the eight thousand taels of silver allocated by Li Miao, Xu Hui has been fulfilling the soldier's promise of a meal of meat every day, and most of the rest have purchased some military supplies, knowing that two months later, Xu Hui suddenly found that he was poor again.

"No, you have to think of a way to make money, this is Xu Hui's only thought these days." However, the traditional industry can't make any money, and the yellow gambling (not poisonous at this time) must not be allowed at home, winemaking? Now that alcohol is a national franchise, there is no hole to exploit, what to do? "yes, that's it." Xu Hui, who was soaking in the wooden barrel, suddenly stood up and shouted in surprise, causing Ying'er to think that something had happened to him, so she hurriedly came in, took Xu Hui to cover her crotch with both hands, smiled at her embarrassedly, and hurriedly retreated with a red face.

Xu Hui thought of soap.
