All day long, Shi Min wandered around the various mansions in Yecheng, relying on Shi Hu, the edict of the Great Zhao Heavenly King, it was really a green light all the way, unimpeded.

Soon, Shi Min settled the matter of military expenses. And as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for a million taels of military expenses! Anyway, the edict that Shi Hu gave him was in the nature of a check, don't be in vain!

It is just right to subsidize some New Year's goods for the soldiers under his command.

He also discussed with Dong Kuang, Wang Ping and Wei Zheng about training elite soldiers, and Shi Min immediately beat the drum and gathered more than 30,000 soldiers in the camp.

Shi Min stood on the high platform, overlooking a large number of black heads below, and was full of pride!

These Han soldiers wore rattan blue battle suits, black armor, oval helmets with white tassels on their heads, and spears in their arms. The armor on their bodies is not bright, many of them are left over from previous battles, and even bloodstained!

Although the armor doesn't look good, the overall appearance of the Han soldiers is still okay.

The military appearance was rigorous, and on the huge school field, more than 30,000 soldiers stood in an orderly manner in ten phalanxes. In the entire school field, tens of thousands of soldiers did not even make the slightest noise, and their ears were full of whirring winds and snowflakes falling in the sky.

This is unthinkable among the other armies of the Zhao Kingdom!

In fact, the army of the Zhao State is roughly the same as the tribes of the nomads, and Shi Hu is equivalent to the khan of this tribe, commanding all the tribes!

In addition to the Qian, most of the military horses of the Di, Han, Xianbei, Qiang and Xiongnu people are self-contained.

Shi Hu could command them, but he would never dare to break them up easily, otherwise once these alien armies resisted, they would not be able to resist at all with their thinly numbered people!

This is one of Zhao's biggest flaws at present.

It's not that Shi Hu didn't want to rectify it, but he was powerless, so he could only let it go. This is why Shi Min was only sixteen years old and was able to command an entire Han army!

Because Shi Min's father, Shi Zhan, enjoyed a high reputation among the Han army, which was beyond anyone's reach! Shi Hu was also afraid that if these Han troops were dispersed, they would defect to the Jin Kingdom in the south, so he could only choose Shi Min to become the new commander of this Han army.

Shi Min said in a loud voice: "Soldiers! I am your commander Shi Min! Today, I beat the drum and gather troops, not to introduce myself, not to show you the true face of my Lushan! ”

"There are still two days left, and the Spring Festival is here. It's a day of family reunion! I know you have a home to go home to, but I can tell you bluntly! The barracks, here, is your home! I, and every robe here, are your family! ”

"The Spring Festival is approaching, and I have nothing to give you. But you are absolutely indispensable for eating and drinking! Lift it up! ”

After Shi Min said this, even a team of soldiers came over with one pig after another and put them on the ground. In addition to this, there were jars and jars of wine, and cages full of chickens and ducks were placed there.

Shi Min pointed to the struggling livestock and said, "See, this is what I used to treat you!" But how much each of you can get depends on your own ability! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers in the phalanx all looked at each other, but they didn't talk to each other, otherwise once there was any noisy sound in the phalanx, they would be sat together!

The strictness of the Han army's military law is really rare in this world.

Wang Ping immediately stood up on the school ground, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers! The general has an order, and the whole army is doing martial arts! Test archery, fighting, long-distance running, foot fighting, horse fighting, and weightlifting! Every soldier must participate in any of them, and the best ones will get a pound of pork, chicken, or duck! And those who perform ordinarily eat a big pot of meat together! ”

"I'll add." Shi Min raised his head and said, "This time, the whole army will conduct a large-scale martial arts, and there can only be a thousand outstanding people!" And these 1,000 people who have performed well will become the most elite soldiers in our army! I will form an elite army, called the 'Broken Barracks'! This broken barracks will enjoy the best treatment! ”

"The establishment of the broken barracks is only 1,000 people, and it is led by the general Wang Ping, and the battle damage will be made up. The soldiers who break the barracks must be people who are not afraid of death and dare to fight and die! They will become my sharp knives on the field! ”

"Every soldier who breaks the barracks can eat half a catty of meat every day, and the monthly military salary is five copper coins, the armor is the strongest, and the war dead will have a pension of one hundred taels!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers present were all moved!

500 copper coins per month? That's really a lot, you know, an ordinary soldier's monthly salary is only two copper coins, which has always been 1,000 wen and 2,000 copper coins.

Now the monthly salary of the non-commissioned officer who broke the barracks that Shi Min said is actually as much as five times? It's enough for a family of three to live for more than two months!

And the pension for the war dead is as much as one hundred taels? Well, you must know that the pension for the soldiers who died in the Han army before was only ten times, and in other armies, the soldiers who died in battle did not even have the most basic pension!

And you can eat meat every day, and half a catty! It's a dream thing!

In this regard, Shi Min also made calculations.

How long is a pig enough for a person?

There are three scenarios.

For one, an adult needs 2,000 calories a day, and a pound of pork contains 4,080 calories. In other words, one pound of pork can sustain an adult for 2 days!

Generally, an adult pig is between 220 and 250 catties (it will not be fattened, because more than this important pig eats too much, and the long meat income is not enough to lose), even if it is 235 catties, so a pig can be eaten for a person for 470 days.

Second, the above is a caloric calculation that can be maintained to eat enough, and if you need to do heavy physical work, you need to double the calories, which is roughly calculated as 235 days, which is still the case of eating pork.

Third, if pork consumes only one-third of all the foods in vegetables and rice, a pig can feed a person who does not do manual work for 1,410 days. It can feed people who do heavy physical work for 705 days.

Just for reference, those who take it for granted that 3 people eat a horse in one day or in a few days.

If you eat like this for a person who is always hungry, you will die suddenly in an instant!

The treatment given by Shi Min to the soldiers who broke the barracks was the first type, and each person ate about half a catty of meat (pork) a day. In this way, it is actually unthinkable, after all, in this troubled world, not everyone can eat pork or anything!

There are a lot of families who can get meat all year round, and there are only a handful of days!

Seeing that the soldiers were all eager, Shi Min couldn't help but shout: "Soldiers, tell me, do you have the confidence to become a warrior in thirty to one?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! "The crowd is outraged!

Shi Min delivered this inspiring speech, which immediately boosted the morale of the officers and men of the whole army!

Next, the big martial arts exercise began in the camp.

Shi Min walked around and looked at the vigorous skills of the soldiers, and couldn't help but nodded. It seems that the physical fitness of these Han soldiers is still very strong!

After two days of strict and fierce competition, the last 1,000 people left can become the pawns of the broken barracks!

And Shi Min also established his prestige in the army for the first time through this incident.
