In the face of sudden concern, Liu Qiang was very moved.

"I have penetrated my spleen and stomach now, and I will soon be able to train to my lungs."

Liu Qiang swallowed and exhaled, and with a "moo", a thunderous sound came from his abdomen.

"Yes, it seems that the trivia of the military camp has not delayed your cultivation speed."

Ren Pingsheng praised.

"There is no war now, except for reading books and studying, and training on campus, a lot of other free time is basically spent on martial arts.

Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and only by practicing diligently can you make progress from time to time. ”

Liu Qiang practiced diligently every day, and he was still very satisfied with his cultivation progress.

Ren Pingsheng nodded, and said in agreement: "Well, me too, in addition to the overall management, the rest of the time is also taken out to practice martial arts, and today I finally broke through the viscera stage and practiced dark energy." ”

When Liu Qiang heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face: "The speed of the owner's entry into the realm is really different from mortals. ”

Everyone started cultivating from the same starting point, but they didn't expect that the cultivation of the owner had far surpassed theirs.

"It's all about hard work on weekdays."

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand and said: "Let's see how the regimental training soldiers are, there are a lot of movements on the Yinshan side during this time, and the big war will be on the verge of breaking out."

We must not slack off for a moment in the training of our regiments, and we must always be ready to deal with war. ”

Ren Pingsheng came to Liu Qiang, in addition to showing off his cultivation progress, he wanted to further understand how the military construction of Qingcheng is now.

After all, this is the capital of his life.

"The soldiers follow the instructions of the host, train every day, and are always ready to deal with the war that may come at any time.

Liu Qiang took Ren Pingsheng to the high platform of the school field.

From the high platform, there are many slogans printed throughout the barracks.

"Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime."

"With my youth, I will guard Qingcheng!"

"One person is a soldier, the whole family is glorious!"

"When you are a soldier, you are not afraid of death, and if you are afraid of death, you should not be a soldier!"

"Hard training, not afraid of sacrifice!"

Many slogans were casually uttered by Ren Pingsheng, and Liu Qiang remembered them and sent someone to print them on the wall of the regimental training camp.

Ren Pingsheng looked from the high platform, and there were hundreds of soldiers practicing on the school ground.

The soldiers trained were divided into several modules.

Those who were running in obstacles, those who were crawling forward with guns, those who were training to fight with bayonets, the sweat on the sweat of the soldiers had soaked their thin vests, and everyone was tanned, and many of them had burst their skin.

"Hah!"

"Kill!"

The high-pitched shouts and sonorous trumpets made the entire training ground feel iron-blooded.

"Boss, now we are training in a regiment, divided into regular soldiers supported by the government, peasant soldiers trained in agricultural leisure, and civilian men recruited in wartime.

Among them, there are 500 regular soldiers who have come from the war, 2,000 militia who exercise every three days, and 2,000 auxiliary soldiers. ”

Liu Qiang stood next to Ren Pingsheng and finished speaking, and took the opportunity to say the difficulties he faced:

"However, our territory is still too small, and we are facing a lot of problems.

First, the population base is insufficient to support the number of soldiers. Now Fengtai County has become a place where the two armies face each other, and the victims of the disaster in Northern Anhui will not be able to come. The people in Northern Anhui are very able to endure hardships and fight ruthlessly, so they are a good source of soldiers, but now there are fewer people, and there are fewer good soldiers for expanding regimental training.

Second, the food supply is insufficient. Once the war starts, the number of people who can mobilize is insufficient, the rear grain routes are difficult to guarantee, and the food supply is also difficult to fully guarantee. ”

Ren Pingsheng looked at the school field, some soldiers were training shooting events, and the soldiers were shooting in twos and threes, alternating shooting training.

The effective range of the shotgun is still a little shorter, and it is not as good as the strong bow and crossbow in comparison.

But the rifle project is really not progressing!

The team of hundreds of people in the Bureau of Creation today can't overcome the bolt-type rifle with complete drawings and simple structure! It can only be said that the fault and gap between basic learning and basic materials is too big.

"You don't have to worry about people, the most important thing in troubled times is population. Previously, I had already instructed Minke to do it, and re-measured the land that was abandoned at the beginning of the year, plus the large piece of land of the Xie family. Refugees who went south were registered, and those who were able-bodied were left behind to wait for the land to be divided.

After the analysis of the book, now from Fengtai County, and the North Anhui Mangshan side of the refugees are not a few, as long as we here porridge relief, there will be a steady stream of people to come, you will go to select soldiers, physical fitness is not enough as a regular soldier, can also be trained as a militia. ”

Ren Pingsheng said.

In fact, although the number of refugees from northern Anhui has decreased on a large scale, it is still not uncommon for refugees to travel on official roads.

After all, Qingcheng is an important town in the north-south thoroughfare. Now Yuntai County has already fallen into chaos, and many people have to go south through Qingcheng to escape the war in the relatively stable south.

However, when people leave their hometowns, bandits and bandits are constantly on the road, and it is easy to cut off food and drink and die.

As long as there is a stutter, a safety guarantee, and a place to go, no one wants to continue to wander and live a life of having eaten the last meal and not having the next, and living today without tomorrow.

In troubled times, for Qingcheng, population is not a scarce resource.

What is really lacking is food.

There is so much land in Qingcheng Town, and the output in the field is also counted, and because Yinshan has a huge number of soldiers, it is constantly sucking blood from the surrounding areas, looting grain to serve as military rations, causing the people to complain.

Although Ren Pingsheng relied on his martial arts and abundant virtues, he insisted on not paying food.

However, once the Qingcheng regiment is trained to recruit large-scale soldiers, especially a large number of regular soldiers who are not engaged in production and full-time conscription, it is difficult to maintain food, even if you want to buy grain from the surrounding areas, you can't buy it!

The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, which is the real headache.

In this chaotic time, food is the heart of the army, as long as there is food, it is not easy to be a rioter!

"Group practice, someone came to report, saying that it was Qixing Commercial Bank, the people of the Lexian Caravan."

When Ren Pingsheng was discussing the conscription with Liu Qiang, the soldiers on duty at the gate suddenly ran in and reported to Ren Pingsheng.

Ren Pingsheng frowned, feeling as if something big had happened: "Bring it here." ”

Soon, a young man dressed in black, dusty, and tired-looking ran in, holding a letter in his hand: "My lord, this is a letter from Liu Wu, the captain of the caravan, Fengtai County fell three days ago!" ”

"Fengtai has fallen?"

In just a few years, it suddenly stirred the heartstrings of those in production.

The impact of a few words is incomparably huge for them!

The fall of Fengtai represents the more than 200,000 troops hoarded by Yinshan, which will be in formal contact with the rebels of Liu Ziqi, and Yinshan and its surroundings will officially fall into the quagmire of war, and the entire Yuntai County is about to enter the countdown to chaos!

Not only Yuntai County, but also the overall environment of the entire Wuzhou Province has begun to turn into a new era of war.

In this environment, it is impossible for Qingcheng Town to face the impact.

Ren Pingsheng tore open the sealed wax letter, and the content of the letter was very brief.

"Fengtai County fell, Liu Zi's army occupied Fengtai, and the rebel soldiers pointed directly at Yinshan. According to the information we heard in the yamen of the Lexian county government, the rebel army claimed to be 500,000 troops, but in fact there were about 300,000, including people, refugees and rebels along the way. ”

Ren Pingsheng read out the text message gently, and it was quiet on the military platform, and everyone frowned, thinking about how to welcome the fall of Fengtai and the arrival of the chaotic era.

However, the fall of Fengtai County, which has long been expected by everyone, has been rehearsed countless times, this itself is a high probability event, and even in the early stage, the army of the imperial court has given up Fengtai County, which has no danger to defend, and concentrated the army in Yinshan County, and fought to the death with the rebels.

"Fengtai fell into the hands of the rebels, and the main tone has been clear."

Ren Pingsheng looked around at the few people on the high platform and said, "Now, it depends on whether Yinshan can hold it, or how long it can hold it."

However, whether it can be held or not, it is an indisputable fact that the entire Yuntai County will be in chaos.

Next, officers and soldiers harassed the localities, the government intensified the exploitation, and bandits and thieves took advantage of the chaos to fish······ These will become the norm.

Shiqiang, at this time, we must be ready to start the plan of rapid expansion conscription! ”

Liu Qiang saw Ren Pingsheng looking at him, nodded fiercely and said, "Boss, you are far-sighted, you have already told us, and we have already made this preparation."

In fact, in the large camp outside the city, the training of the 2,000 militia on the Flying Tiger side is very hard, and at least more than one-third of the militia can be conscripted into the army at any time, enter the ranks of the regular soldiers, and can go to the battlefield with a little training and running-in.

In this way, the regular soldiers can be expanded to a regiment at any time.

We will continue to replenish the number of troops, recruit a large number of refugees into the boot training camp, and as long as we train for two months and carry out orders and prohibitions, we will be able to quickly build a certain combat effectiveness. ”

Liu Qiang's words gave Ren Pingsheng more confidence.

"Now, Yuntai County has entered a wartime state, and we are afraid that there is not much time left. Your current task is to speed up the recruitment and improve the combat effectiveness of the regimental training team as soon as possible!

As for food and logistics, I'll figure it out. ”

Ren Pingsheng's responsibility also gave Liu Qiang a spectrum in his heart.
