Zhang Xiu, who had a firm foothold in Fuyu Country, according to the advice of the military advisor Li Hui, after consultation with the lord of Fuyu State, recruited 5,000 young men from Fuyu to enlist in the army, trained according to the training methods of the Blue Wolf Army, and fought together with the Blue Wolf Army as a reserve source of the Blue Wolf Army in the future.

These young and strong men were originally only good at digging a trap, putting a trap, and shooting a prey in the large and small Xing'an Mountains, and they had never seen the heavily armed Blue Wolf Army, let alone received systematic military training, so in the initial period of their enlistment, there was no other way out except for the constant repair by the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army who were responsible for training.

As long as the instructors of the training do not insult their personalities, no matter how hard and tiring the training is, everyone will grit their teeth and hold their strength to persevere.

For the quality of Fuyu soldiers who can endure and endure hardships, Zhang Xiu appreciates and recognizes them very much. In order to further encourage their enthusiasm for training, Zhang Xiu and Li Hui decided to officially pay the soldiers of Fuyu after discussion, and equip the top soldiers with the standard equipment of the Blue Wolf Army for those with outstanding training achievements.

Although the military salary paid to the soldiers was only one-third of that of the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army, and although the standard equipment distributed to the top training personnel among the soldiers was less than 100, these two means greatly stimulated the training enthusiasm of the soldiers of the Fuyu soldiers, and made these soldiers who were already very able to endure hardships and patience more positive and enthusiastic.

It only took Zhang Xiu a month to get a reserve force of 10,000 people that was beginning to take shape, and it was also the kind of army that was very obedient and easy to feed, and this hand was really beautiful. Now this reserve force was evenly distributed among the divisions, waiting to go south to defeat the Karasuma people, and secretly accepted a batch of weapons and equipment trafficked by Zheng Donglai to Liaodong, and became the first mercenary army in Zhao Xing's rule in the northeast.

Just when Zhang Xiu was training the soldiers of Fuyu, Zhang Yan, who had already arrived at Dongsheng Island, and the Marine Brigade, which had secretly entered the area of Guolecheng in Hejian in Jizhou, were also seizing the time to carry out adaptive training.

Perhaps under the strong influence of Zhao Xing's military thinking of "where to go", when the Montenegrin Army arrived at Dongsheng Island to begin adaptive training in mountain and jungle warfare, the military advisor Jia Mu tried his best to persuade Zhang Yan to fool a group of young men on the island to participate in the training together, so that when they landed in Benhan in the future, they could serve as scouts and logistics support teams.

Zhang Yan thought about it carefully and felt that Jia Mu's suggestion was very good. There are as many as 70,000 or 80,000 inhabitants on Dongseung Island, and because of its proximity to Samhan mainland, some people often travel between Dongseung Island and Samhan by boat, and they can not only speak the language of Samhan, but also are familiar with the terrain and customs of Samhan Peninsula.

So Zhang Yan and Jia Mu came to visit Zhao Zhong, the lord of Dongsheng, and told the idea that the Black Mountain Army wanted to recruit men among the young and strong people on the island.

After some consideration, Zhao Zhong put forward two conditions for Zhang Yan. One is that the number of people of Tokatsu Province is relatively small, and the number of people drawn at one time cannot exceed 4,000, otherwise normal agricultural production and animal husbandry cannot be guaranteed; the other is that Tokatsu soldiers who have been recruited into the Black Mountain Army are obliged to return to the island to participate in the war to defend their homeland in the future when Tokatsu Province is attacked.

Jia Mu didn't wait for Zhang Yan to bargain with Zhao Zhong, so he preemptively agreed to these two conditions. Afterwards, Zhang Yan asked Jia Mu why he agreed to the request of the Dongsheng lord so easily, and Jia Mu replied with a smile: "I originally thought that I could recruit two thousand soldiers on the island at most, but Zhao Zhong agreed to four thousand, in case he repented, wouldn't we lose a lot!"

Zhang Yan said with some indifference: "If he dares to repent, I will directly lead someone to demolish his palace, which is not as big as the public bathhouse in Crouching Tiger City, and see what he does!"

Jia Mu shook his head and patiently persuaded Zhang Yan and said: "Don't have this mentality to interact with Dong Shengguo, keeping Zhao Zhong to help us manage the people on the island is beneficial to us in the current situation." If the 30,000 Montenegrin Army is willing, it is true that we can wash this island country in blood, but in the future, we will lack a group of people who can provide a steady stream of support for the Montenegrin Army, and we will also be charged with killing and unscrupulous. ”

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "But if it is not my race, its heart will be different." In case Dongshengguo embarks on the road of strength and prosperity in the future with our help, when the time comes, we will not raise tigers and shoot ourselves in the foot?"

Jia Mu said confidently: "It's just an island in the sea, the geographical location of Dongsheng Kingdom is destined to make him a vassal of the Jin State, even if the island country becomes prosperous in the future, how can he resist the lord's leveling eight strategies?"

Zhang Yan knew that the lord mentioned in Jia Mu's mouth had always been Zhao Xing alone, so he asked with some curiosity: "Lord Taifu also specially formulated a strategy to pacify Dongyi?"

Jia Mu then nodded, and then said: "The first policy of leveling is to educate the people everywhere the army to speak Chinese, Ming and Han etiquette, and use the Han system; the second policy of leveling is to encourage soldiers in the army to marry local women and accelerate the integration between Han and Yi; and the third strategy of Pingyi is to attract the children of local tribal leaders to study and live in the Jin Kingdom, and to train the successors of local leaders who are pro-Jin ......"

Watching Jia Mu gushing and reciting Zhao Xing's Eight Strategies for Leveling, Zhang Yan listened a little big, scratched his head fiercely and said: "You learned people, there are really a lot of flowers and intestines in your stomach, I Lao Zhang only knows that if anyone doesn't listen to Master Taifu, Lao Tzu will kill him all, won't this solve all the problems?"

Jia Mu found that he had been playing the piano to the cow for a long time, rolled his eyes and gave it to Zhang Yan, and then sighed and said: "It really costs my saliva to be leveled by a rough man like you! In addition to knowing how to kill people, you don't think about how if you go to one place and kill another, everyone will be killed, and who of us Han people would like to go to these remote and bitter cold places to breed? In the future, you will remember for me, when you need to kill on a large scale, I will secretly remind you. Otherwise, you must control the army to keep killing wherever it passes, this is Lord Taifu's order!"

As soon as Zhang Yan heard that this was Zhao Xing's order, he hurriedly said with a serious face: "I promise to take Sanhan Island according to Lord Taifu's eight strategies for leveling!"

Compared with Zhang Xiu's training of Fuyu cavalry and Zhang Yan's training of Dongsheng mountain soldiers, it was much easier for Wang Lu, the first commander of the Marine Brigade, to train 20,000 Danyang soldiers.

These Danyang soldiers were originally well-trained soldiers under Yuan Shu's account, although their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the strong infantry elites such as the Crouching Tiger Army and the Vanguard Army, they also knew that obeying discipline and obeying commands were not a group of rabble.

Wang Lu knew that the reason why these soldiers would suffer repeated defeats when they were on Yuan Shu's side was because the generals who commanded them were incompetent, their training methods were seriously flawed, the equipment they were equipped with was too ordinary, and the opponents they encountered were too powerful.

Now that the 20,000 Danyang soldiers are under the command of Wang Lu, this general Taishou, who once served as a division commander in many elite troops of the Jin Kingdom, has absolute confidence that he can train the newly formed Marine Brigade into a steel force that is both good on land and water.
