In the open space in front of the cottage, all the 436 soldiers of the front battalion were in place, but from the front row, the team was scattered.

Li Xingzhi took Wang Zhong and Yang Biao to step on the improvised platform, and after scanning the uneven team under the stage, he said loudly: "The master of this village knows that you are either homeless or tenants before, and you have never been on the battlefield, but since you have entered my Li family village, eat the owner of the village, and wear the owner of the village, then you must abide by the law of the owner of the village, from today on, you are no longer the people, but the soldiers of the master of the village, and you must have the appearance of a soldier when you are a soldier. If the list is not good, let Lao Tzu get out of the cottage, Lao Tzu does not raise waste here. ”

In the troubled times, the only thing that can win people's hearts is food, although the soldiers of the former battalion have just entered the camp, but they also know that there is a lot of food in the cottage, and since they entered Lijiashan, they have never worried about three meals a day, where are they willing to go down the mountain to be cold and hungry, now since they have eaten the food of the village owner, it is natural to obey the order of the village owner, so they dare not resist Li Xingzhi's order at all.

Under the command of more than a dozen small leaders, the corporals quickly lined up and looked at Li Xingzhi nervously one by one, for fear that they would not be able to platoon well and be driven down the cottage by the owner of the village.

After the army was arrayed, Li Xingzhi said loudly: "Let's be thieves, it's a business to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, the owner of the village here promises that as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never be hungry everyone, from today onwards, the soldiers of the front battalion will pay five yuan per month, and your food cottage bag, although there is no guarantee that there will be meat at the meal, but it must be full, and all you have to do is to train the owner of the village well, and later Mr. Qian will inform the whole army of the village rules, you just need to implement the military order in accordance with the regulations, You can enjoy the benefits that the cottage gives you. ”

All the soldiers were shocked, the monthly money of five coins of silver, and they were still full, such a treatment was something they could not think of.

When they were tenants and homeless people, they had no last meal, and they were worried about three meals a day every day, but now as long as they obey the rules of the village owner, they can eat and drink without worrying, and when they have saved enough money, they can still please a good mother-in-law and aunt, and they can also pass on the ancestry.

"We are willing to obey the military regulations of the village owner."

"The owner of the village, you said that we would never dare to go west."

The soldiers were stimulated by the generous treatment, and Li Xingzhi also laughed, because he already had a draft of how to train the soldiers, although he wanted to organize the Mandarin Duck soldiers, but before that, it was necessary to make these soldiers able to order and prohibit, and on this basis, the establishment of the Qi family army would be a matter of course.

Immediately said: "Good! Since you agree, then the owner of the village will state the training regulations of the former battalion to the brothers, and of course all the soldiers of the former battalion, including the owner of the village, must follow them all. ”

"The first one, smell the gold, from the owner of the village below all the soldiers of the former battalion to get up every hour, within half an hour must solve personal problems, including eating, this Mr. Qian must ensure that the rear camp will prepare breakfast before the hour, during this period, everyone must line up in an orderly manner, if anyone dares to cut in line, or miss the hour, then the staff is thirty."

"Second, after breakfast, we will conduct a half-hour queue training, and if anyone does not obey the order and disobeys the command, it will also be thirty."

"Third, starting from the time, the whole camp for running training, Lijiashan is only seven or eight miles away, let's run around Lijiashan twice, we must return to the cottage before noon, if you miss the hour, the owner of the village will not punish you, but you don't have to think about lunch."

"Fourth, after lunch, everyone can rest for a quarter of an hour, and then continue the queue training, and then Wang Zhong will teach you how to use swords and guns, and at the same time, the musketeers and archers will also have shooting training, and if someone does not obey the order and disobeys the command, the staff will be thirty."

"Fifth, after the unitary time, Mr. Qian will take half an hour to teach you to read, of course, the owner of the village does not require you to be a showman, but at least you can write with a pen, in the future, the cottage will become bigger, occupy the state and take the government, you will all be the leaders, if you can't write documents for Lao Tzu, wouldn't it be shameful."

For the soldiers of the former battalion, Li Xingzhi's training requirements were indeed harsh and even severe, but the soldiers would not object at all, because they had food to eat and silver to take, and no matter how hard they were, they could still suffer better than when they were tenants and homeless people, so they all received their orders with a bang.

Li Xingzhi spoke again: "Don't think that the owner of the village is strict, from today onwards, the owner of the village and the leader of the cottage will eat and sleep with you, train together, sweat more in peacetime, and shed less blood in wartime." The owner of this village is also for your own good. ”

"We listen to the owner of the village, and we will do whatever you say."

"The owner of the village, you are also good for us! Also let us read and write, where did we think that in this life we can still eat three meals a day, and still be able to read, the owner of the village, our lives will be sold to you from now on. ”

The soldiers of the front battalion did not make a fuss, but unanimously expressed their obedience to Li Xingzhi's management.

This is different from what Li Xingzhi thought, he thought that he was so strict in military law that the soldiers would have the intention of resisting, but these soldiers did not coax at all, but supported their own military regulations one after another.

This has to make Li Xingzhi sigh, in the troubled times, human life is not as expensive as paper, he just gave them a food and clothing, and he could get their loyalty, no wonder Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong These rogues are inexhaustible, and they are all forced by this world.

After the training regulations were issued, Li Xingzhi ordered Li Rui to select 70 soldiers in the front camp who were strong and had good eyesight to prepare to integrate them with the previous archers to form long-range soldiers, mainly practicing long-range weapons such as firearms, longbows and artillery, and the rest of the soldiers were set at 30 shi, and every eleven people set up a captain for a team, these captains were all temporarily served by small leaders, and those who were not enough were temporarily not appointed, and they were ready to choose excellent ones to serve after training.

According to Li Xingzhi's request, the 30 soldiers will be reorganized into a battalion, which will be led by himself, with Wang Zhong as the deputy of the battalion, and named the battalion the Gangfeng Battalion, which means that this battalion will be as indestructible as a steel knife.

The 100 long-range soldiers were also organized into a battalion, with Yang Biao as the battalion officer and Li Rui as the battalion deputy, and named the battalion the Fire Battalion, meaning that this battalion would destroy the enemy army like a swift fire.

The patrol post in the mountains was still in charge of Chen Wu, and considering the lack of manpower, Li Xingzhi did not allocate a single soldier to him.

Instead, Chen Wu was ordered to remove two soldiers from the Gangfeng Battalion every day to inspect various intersections in the mountains, and Qian Anning was ordered to select two clever ones from the rear camp and set up a tea shop on the official road in the area of Dajiaotai, so as to inquire about the news outside the cottage.
