To tell the truth, Li Jin really didn't expect Gao Yigong to be so shameless as Li Yan, and actually hit his righteous son with the idea, speaking of which, he can be regarded as Li Yan's benefactor, is it really a conscience to go to such a wool?

Gao Yigong asked Li Zicheng for orders to command the reserve army, and he was already a general, and now he is still looking for him to ask for someone, which is eating him to death.

Of course, everyone knows Li Jin's character, under Gao Yigong's death begging for nothing, Li Jin pinched his nose and recognized it, and Huang Jun gave Gao Yigong, but Li Laiheng He didn't let go, this is a righteous son, and Li Laiheng's ability is in his eyes, how can he be willing to be "cannon fodder" for the reserve army?

In order to dispel the idea of Gao Yigong, Li Jin even offered to take 30 pairs of armor and 300 spears as compensation, as if Li Jin was the one who owed the debt.

But the more Li Jin is like this, the more Gao Yigong wants Li Laiheng, all kinds of soft grinding and hard bubbles, putting on friendships, and Li Jin is annoyed, and finally he simply kicked Gao Yigong out of the military tent, saying that he wanted to think about it.

After taking away Gao Yigong, Li Jincai breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on top of the handsome collapse, this Gao Yigong is really difficult, especially after learning literacy with Li Yan, he is also the head of the way, he actually faintly said that Gao Yigong's posture is there.

After resting for a while, Li Jincai instructed the soldiers beside him: "Go and call the major general over, I have something to ask him." ”

The young general refers to Li Jin's righteous son, Li Laiheng, Li Jin himself also has a son, but unfortunately he is not old and cannot join the army, but he is only raised in the rear army, and Li Laiheng also assumes the title of "major general".

Before long, a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old opened the military tent and walked in, this person was extremely majestic, more than seven feet tall, full of muscles, wrapped in blue cotton armor, with this oxtail knife hanging from his waist, and the stubble on his lips showed sharp corners, adding a bit of childishness to his already dark and mature face.

"Son, I've seen my father!" As soon as Li Laiheng entered the tent, he clenched his fists and said loudly.

Li Jin looked at Li Laiheng and nodded with satisfaction, this kid knows etiquette, he is good at kung fu immediately, and he has also been blinded, knows a few words, can shoot a three-stone bow and arrow, and every time he ranks against the enemy, he takes the lead, but he has not been injured once, which shows his ability.

"Do you know about your Uncle Gao?" Li Jin asked.

In fact, Gao Yigong is not much older than Li Laiheng, but Li Laiheng is Li Jin's righteous son, and he is a little shorter in terms of generation, but Gao Yigong doesn't care about this, and he is still a brother to Li Laiheng in private.

"The child knows" Li Laiheng did not hide it, and said solemnly.

"What do you think?" Li Jin said slowly.

"The kid wants to go!" Li Laiheng is a straightforward person, of course, Li Jin is also this kind of character, which is why Li Jin loves Li Laiheng so much, and this righteous son never speaks insincere in front of him.

"Why?"

"It is difficult to fight in the back camp, and the child who joined the army is to overthrow the Ming Court, how can he overthrow the Ming Court if he does not kill the enemy? Father, the child is willing to go with Uncle Gao to prepare for the army! Li Laiheng knelt down, wanting to ask for Li Jin's consent.

In fact, this is Li Jin's dilemma, the rear camp has always acted as the role of the family's bodyguard, and there are few opportunities to go out of the battle, and it is great that sometimes it takes on some tasks after the break, and the intensity of the mission after the break is naturally not comparable with the field battle and siege (the speed of the army is fast).

This also leads to the fact that the rear camp is a paradise for those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is a prison for people like Li Laiheng and Hao Shaoqi who want to make meritorious contributions.

"Do you think I'm such a narrow-minded person?" Li Jin didn't get angry, but said slowly: "Gao Yigong has been working with me for several years, if he is a good hand at marching and fighting, but the newly built army of the preparation army, the soldiers are all newly recruited, and they need to be trained!" Where did your Uncle Gao train as a soldier? As for that Li Yan, although he is full of wit, he has a short experience in the army, how can he rest assured that he will hand you over to them? ”

There is a consensus that the reserve army is cannon fodder and the army is breaking into the camp, and if you are an officer here, you will die if you don't do it well.

"What's more, we are about to go to Bears Ears Mountain, and after Bears Ears Mountain, we will enter Ruzhou, even if we are slow, there will only be three more months, what soldiers and horses can be trained in three months? When you enter Ruzhou, you will immediately fight a bitter battle, and you are going to the reserve army at this moment, isn't it gambling with your life? Li Jin said comfortingly, and also expressed his worries.

But Li Laiheng had his own thoughts, and knocked on the ground and said: "Father, I have been fighting since I broke into the army, and I don't care about life and death for a long time, I just want to kill more dog officials to serve King Chuang, and also serve my parents' spirit in the sky, stay in the back camp, comfort is comfort, but this kind of comfort is not what I want, no matter how dangerous the reserve army is, it is also an army that can go to the battlefield, and I ask my father to allow me to do it this time!" ”

Li Jin looked at Li Laiheng who was kneeling on the ground with a complicated expression, and after a long time, he sighed and said: "That's it, you are a soaring eagle, but I can't keep you, since you want to make a contribution, then go ahead, I won't stop you." ”

Li Laiheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately kowtowed heavily and said, "The child thanked his father!" ”

"Wait" Li Jin stopped Li Laiheng, who turned around and wanted to leave, and then instructed his own soldiers: "Take my armor and give it to him, the front line sword has no eyes, and be careful." ”

Just like a father who told his beloved son, the moved Li Laiheng immediately turned red......

Gao Yigong didn't expect that he really wanted Li Laiheng to come, and he was overjoyed, and thanked Li Jin, who had an unsightly face, and then returned to the camp with Li Laiheng and Huang Jun.

Li Zicheng was not ambiguous here, and learned that Li Yan wanted Zhang Hong to be the sentry commander of the reserve army, so he recruited Zhang Hong to ask.

After getting a positive answer from Zhang Hong, Li Zicheng did not keep it, and immediately approved it, which also included Li Zicheng's own calculations, Zhang Hong said good things for Li Yan several times, and in Li Zicheng's opinion, it was no longer suitable to stay by his side.

The pro-soldier is his eyes and ears, but it is not Li Yan's, otherwise there will be hidden dangers in the future, just Li Yan wants Zhang Hong, so he will push the boat to send Zhang Hong over, and it will not make it difficult for him to deal with it.

Hao Yongzhong, Li Laiheng, Zhang Hong, and Huang Jun each received a sentry, Gao Yigong himself also had a sentry, and Li Yan also recognized a sentry, which can be regarded as setting up the organizational structure, and then it is a matter of soldiers and horses.

Gao Yigong is very single, picking up veterans in the back camp, and relying on the friendship with some generals in the front camp to ask some people to come over, he can also get 1,200 people out.

As a result, when Li Yan came to inspect, he was greatly disappointed, these people were indeed powerful and powerful, and many of them had fought in battles, and it seemed that they had a lot of actual combat experience.

But obviously, most of them are soldiers, and Li Yan's inquiries are yin and yang, and yang is against yin, in addition, these gangs have very poor habits, and they are proficient in gambling and prostitution, so Li Yan dare not use such soldiers.

So Li Yan directly waved his hand and dismissed more than 800 of them, leaving only 200 soldiers and horses who could still be educated and 200 people brought by Gao Yigong himself.

Gao Yigong was furious about this and asked Li Yan why he dismissed these people.

"Although these people have experience in battle formations, they are too slippery to be usable." Li Yan patiently explained.

"What kind of is this, I think these are first-class heroes, and many of them are still characters who have killed people, why can't they be used? Do you have to use those country men? Gao Yigong refuted unconvinced.

"You're right, you really want to recruit those country men as soldiers," Li Yan nodded approvingly and said.

In terms of how to train soldiers, Li Yan really has no experience, and can only train according to the complicated memories of later generations.

When Zeng Guofan trained the Hunan army, he was a simple farmer who didn't want to be a slippery marketman, and those soldiers.

The reason is also very simple, the farmer fights for military salary, in order to live, there is a family there, such a person is controlled, and the training is much easier, and the farmer cultivates the land every day, and it is difficult to get contaminated with bad habits, and the daily work physique will not be bad, such a person is an ideal soldier.

And the specialty of the late Ming Dynasty is the "homeless", and there are a lot of homeless people in the later revenue, and it is indeed a pity that all these people are pulled to be cannon fodder, and they can choose some honest ones to fill the reserve army.

Although Gao Yigong was puzzled, after all, Li Yan's ability was there, and he really didn't know how to train the army, so although he was quite unconvinced, he could only dismiss all the 800 people and go to the back camp to find the "crop man" that Li Yan wanted.

In fact, it is not difficult to find at all, because the food standard of being a "soldier" is bound to be higher than the standard of being a "people", and it is even more so in the camp.

Therefore, it is not difficult to recruit soldiers in the rear camp at all, and it didn't take much effort to recruit a shortage of 800 people, but the mental outlook of these people cannot be compared with the previous gang, many of them are yellow and thin, and they don't look like characters who can rush into battle and kill the enemy.

Li Yan has been prepared for a long time, and he has killed three fat pigs and boiled them in a cauldron, although the smell of these pork that has not been castrated is difficult to swallow, but in this year, where will there be so much attention?

The eight hundred people brought by Gao Yigong smelled the aroma of pork, and they were not calm for a moment, and they couldn't remember when they ate meat last time, and they began to make a commotion.

At this time, Li Yan spoke: "You come to prepare for the army, naturally you will not be treated badly, you will train hard in the future, today I specially killed three fat pigs, for everyone to open a meat, you must not make trouble, line up and come once, if there is chaos, don't blame me for being polite." ”

After saying that, Gao Yigong immediately led people to arrange for these newly recruited soldiers to line up to eat pork, 800 people queued up is still a bit long, how can there be no riots, and soon there was a riot for the sake of priority, and those in the back were afraid that the front would finish dividing the pork, and they began to cut the line, so there was a lot of confusion.

Li Yan wanted this effect, and ordered to Zhang Hong, who was standing solemnly beside him: "Pull out all the rioters!" ”

Soon more than a hundred people who did not follow the rules in line were pulled out.

"I said that I want you to follow the order, now you can make a commotion for the sake of pork, so in the future, for the sake of gold and silver treasures, can you not be tempted? How can such an army be of great use? Twenty scepters, driven back to the rear camp. Li Yan got up and said coldly.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, these 100 soldiers were stripped of their clothes and pressed to the ground for a good beating, which can be described as skin and flesh, and the pork could not be eaten, and was directly driven back to the back camp by Li Yan.

While the rest of the soldiers were glad that they did not cut in line, they also secretly looked at Li Yan in fear, this childish observer was only afraid that he would not be so good.

Huang Jun on the side quietly lowered his voice and said to Li Laiheng: "This Li Guanjun is interesting, no wonder even Li Zijing dares to fight in the back camp, it seems that he has some ability." ”

Li Laiheng stood solemnly, without the slightest expression on his face, but responded lightly: "This Li Guanjun knows how to train soldiers, so he has established his authority and screened it again, and most of the rest are honest men, so it will be much more convenient to train in the future." ”

Huang Jun nodded in agreement, and then returned to his solemn state.

Of course, there are also people who are very dissatisfied with this, that is, Gao Yigong, grandma's, and I have to find a hundred more people to come over, this Li Yan is really difficult to serve!
