"Lord Wang, how much do you treat them...... Isn't that too rich? ”

Zhang Changde on the side was a little smacked.

You must know that like ordinary palace guards, the monthly salary is only one or two taels of silver.

These men are just ordinary homeless people, and it is a rare grace for Ji Lie to provide them with food and lodging.

There is really no need, and I will give another penny of silver every month.

"I want the horses to run, and I want the horses not to eat grass. How can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

"Commander Zhang was born in the army, don't you even understand this truth?"

Ji Lie smiled meaningfully.

Looking at the enthusiastic scene of a group of displaced people surrounding the guards to register, Zhang Changde showed a look of enlightenment,

"The prince is really wise, but his subordinates are confused!"

If they only provided food and lodging, and regarded these homeless people as ordinary tenants, they would naturally not be loyal to Ji Lie.

Once you encounter a critical juncture, you may even flee in a hurry.

But if you follow Ji Lie's example, give generous treatment to the homeless, and the way to rise.

Let them know that even if they die in battle, their families will be given preferential treatment.

In this way, the homeless people will definitely be loyal to Ji Lie, and when they go to the battlefield in the future, they will also forget about life and death and fight bravely to kill the enemy.

After a period of busyness, the first batch of displaced people were properly settled.

In the next few days, Zhang Changde recruited many displaced people from Youzhou City and surrounding counties.

In the end, a total of 300 strong men were recruited, and there were as many as 1,000 people including their families.

Zhuangzi, which was originally quite spacious, was also full for a while.

Don't look at these selected men, they can be regarded as strong and strong among the homeless.

But they lack training and have no discipline at all.

Therefore, after completing the recruitment, Ji Lie immediately arranged for Zhang Changde to train these three hundred people.

"Knock knock!"

The dull sound of drums echoed in the sky above Zhuangzi.

With the change of the drum beat, the team of 300 people rotated backwards and forwards, left and right, forward and backward.

Ji Lie sat on the high platform on the side, watching Zhang Changde lead people to train new soldiers.

But after looking at it for a while, he frowned slightly, and instructed Laifu behind him,

"Go, invite Commander Zhang."

Knowing that Ji Lie wanted to see him, Zhang Changde didn't dare to slack off, handed over the training at hand to his cronies, and walked quickly to Ji Lie's side.

"I've seen the prince, I don't know what the prince commands?"

"Commander Zhang, what are you training for?"

Zhang Changde was a little puzzled, but he still said truthfully,

"The subordinates are training the soldiers and obeying the drumbeat."

"Lone thinks there's something wrong with your training methods."

Ji Lie shook his head and said.

"Back to the prince, my Great Xia Dynasty has always trained new soldiers like this."

Zhang Changde was a little disapproving.

In his opinion, in other aspects, he may not be as good as Ji Lie.

But even in the area of training the army and marching to fight, Ji Lie is far inferior to him!

From Zhang Changde's expression, Ji Lie guessed his thoughts.

But instead of getting angry, he chuckled,

"In that case, does that Commander Zhang dare to compete with Lone?"

"Dare to ask the prince how to compete?"

Zhang Changde asked tentatively.

"It's very simple, Lone and you each lead a team of new soldiers and train them. Seven days later, the two teams were fighting each other. ”

"If Zhang leads the victory, Lone will reward you with a year's worth of money."

"If Commander Zhang leads you to lose, you will be fined for one year."

"I don't know what Commander Zhang wants?"

Ji Lie said with a smile.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Changde muttered in his heart.

Could it be that the immortal also taught the prince the method of military training?

"What, Commander Zhang doesn't dare?"

Ji Lie deliberately used the agitation method.

It's simple, but it works.

Zhang Changde didn't think about it, so he nodded and said,

"Since the prince has spoken, his subordinates naturally dare not refuse!"

He has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he wants to see how powerful Ji Lie's training method is!

So the two men divided the three hundred recruits into two, and each ordered a team of men and horses, and agreed to conduct drills after seven days.

……

Time flies like a white horse, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the new soldiers were able to listen to the drums, Zhang Changde began to train them in weapons.

One hundred and fifty new soldiers, in a column of ten, each with a long club.

Under the guidance of several palace guards, they stabbed the dummy made of straw in front of them.

Zhang Changde looked at it for a moment and smiled with satisfaction.

Although these new soldiers are still far from the elite divisions, they already have the rudiments of an army.

As long as it is practiced, it will not be a problem before it goes into battle to kill the enemy.

At this moment, one of Zhang Changde's personal soldiers, a thief, ran over.

"I've seen my lord!"

Zhang Changde looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he asked in a low voice,

"How's your inquiry?"

"The little one was ordered by the adults to go and take a peek...... Watch the prince train his soldiers. ”

"But what is strange is that the prince did not follow the common method of military training to train new soldiers."

"In the past few days, the prince has been training the ranks of soldiers."

"Training queue?"

"Yes, the prince has always made people shout slogans, train soldiers to the left, to the right, to walk in unison and so on. Other than that, nothing else was trained. ”

The pro-soldier said honestly.

When Zhang Changde heard this, his face was full of surprise.

Most of the training methods in the world were based on training soldiers to slash and assassinate.

As for military discipline, as long as you can hear the drums to attack, you can hear the sound of gold to retreat.

If you can obey the command of the commander-in-chief, list the military formation.

Fighting bravely to kill the enemy in wartime, retreating without defeat, and maintaining a formation, it can already be regarded as an elite division.

But Ji Lie's training method is completely different from that of the world.

Well, let the prince go.

Anyway, if he loses, he may have an extra year's worth of money.

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Changde focused on the training recruits again.

……

Seven days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for Ji Lie to make an appointment with Zhang Changde.

Early in the morning, Zhang Changde ordered his men and horses and waited quietly in the open space outside Zhuangzi.

After a while, heavy footsteps were heard in the Zhuangzi.

The one hundred and fifty recruits trained by Ji Lie walked out of the village with neat and powerful steps.

Although it was one hundred and fifty people, they marched in a procession, but they were as if they were one, and there was no confusion!

Such a shocking scene really made Zhang Changde and the palace guards stunned.

When they reached the clearing, the new pawns stopped in unison.

Their bodies listened, their heads held high, and their eyes stared ahead without squinting.

In the entire queue, there was not even the slightest noise!

Seeing this, Zhang Changde's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face showed a look of horror.
