As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"It's not your fault that you don't know loneliness."

"Those who do not have military orders should strictly abide by military discipline and must not let them pass!"

"You've done a great job, and I'm going to reward you!"

"Blessing, reward each of them with ten taels of silver!"

Holding a heavy ten taels of silver, the two sentries seemed to be dreaming, and there was a feeling of unreality.

He prevented the prince from entering the camp, and instead of scolding them, the prince rewarded them with silver?

"Multi-...... Thank you for the reward! ”

"Do a good job, don't let down Lone's high expectations for you."

Ji Lie patted the two of them on the shoulder, and immediately walked towards the camp.

Looking at his departing back, the two sentinels turned red with excitement, eager to go into battle for him on the spot to kill the enemy!

Zhang Changde followed behind Ji Lie and introduced him to the situation of the military camp.

The guard's barracks are built around Gao Laozhuang.

The courtyard wall is less than two feet high, and the inside of the wall can be used for standing.

If an enemy is attacking, the guards can stand behind the wall and attack the enemy from a high position.

Although it is not completely completed, it has already been built.

When Ji Lie arrived, it was time for the guards to have dinner.

"The prince is coming, quickly stand up and salute!"

Zhang Changde shouted in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, the guards subconsciously put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up.

They raised their right hands in unison, flat at their temples.

This kind of hand-raising salute in later generations is exactly what Ji Lie taught them.

"You don't have to be polite, please sit down and eat!"

Ji Lie smiled and waved his hand.

The guards sat back down.

"It just so happens that Gu hasn't eaten yet, Commander Zhang, prepare one for Gu Ye."

"This ...... The prince has a noble status, how can he dine with the soldiers? ”

Zhang Changde looked embarrassed.

When Ji Lie heard this, his face was solemn and said,

Commander Zhang's words are wrong. This is the place of the military camp, although Lone is the prince, but he should also share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers! ”

His words were loud and clear.

All the soldiers present were moved!

Zhang Changde didn't dare to disobey Ji Lie's intentions, so he nodded to the soldiers on the side.

It didn't take long for the leader of the gang to prepare a meal for Ji Lie and his party.

Tonight's meal was simple, the staple food was steamed cakes made of mixed grains, and porridge made of rice, accompanied by pickles.

Ji Lie drank porridge while talking to the soldiers beside him.

"How's this food? You might be full on weekdays? ”

"Back to ...... Return...... Returning to the prince, the food ...... It's good, and it's full! ”

Being able to eat with the prince, this soldier can be said to be quite excited, and he stuttered a little when he spoke.

"That's good."

Ji Lie nodded, looked at the soldiers, and said in a deep voice,

"But Lone is not just asking for food, but also asking for good food!"

"From tomorrow onwards, you will have to have one meat meal for three meals a day!"

The guards present couldn't believe their ears.

They were born as homeless people, and before they defected to Ji Lie, they were all hungry and full.

For them, it is not easy to get enough to eat.

And now Ji Lie actually let them say that they can eat meat every day!

Isn't this a dream or what?

"Why, you don't believe Lone's words?"

Ji Lie said with a smile.

"The words of the prince are the golden rule. Since you said that you should eat meat every day, it will naturally not lie to you, so thank you soon! ”

Zhang Changde on the side shouted in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

The guards said in unison, looking at Ji Lie's gaze, extremely eager!

"As long as you train hard and fight bravely, Lone will naturally not treat you badly, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Alright, let's go ahead and eat."

Looking at the group of gobbling up soldiers, Ji Lie showed a satisfied smile.

The strength of an army's combat effectiveness lies not only in the armor, but also in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

If we want to improve our combat effectiveness, we must intensify our training.

But correspondingly, it is necessary to supplement the soldiers with adequate nutrition.

If you want the horse to run, but you want the horse not to eat grass, of course, there is no such good thing in the world.

Before, Ji Lie was short of money, so he could only ensure that the soldiers were fed.

But now that he has the guarantee of filial piety from the scholars and merchants, he is rich and rich, so he naturally wants to let the guards eat well!

In addition to the physical fitness of the soldiers, their discipline, ideology, etc., also determine the combat effectiveness.

This is also why, from the very beginning, Ji Lie trained the guards according to the training method of the modern army.

Because what he wants to build is an ancient army with modern military literacy, obeying his command, daring to fight tough battles, and being able to win battles!

This dinner, Ji Lie was very satisfied.

When he led the people away, the guards couldn't help but whisper.

"I didn't expect the prince to be so amiable."

"Yes, let alone the county order, even the pavilion chief in our village is high on weekdays!"

"The prince is so good to us, he will go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, but he is not allowed to be weak!"

"Whoever has weak legs is a grandson!"

Between their words, they were full of admiration for Ji Lie!

Zhang Changde, who had not yet gone far, took their words into his ears and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The prince just came to the barracks for a walk, and after a dinner, the guards were desperate for him!

What a good idea!

Zhang Changde stayed behind Ji Lie and went out of Gao Laozhuang all the way.

"Commander Zhang, it's not too early, why don't you go into the city with Lone?"

Ji Lie glanced at the sky and said with a smile.

Zhang Changde was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and his old face turned red,

"Lord Wang, isn't this very good?"

"What's so bad about that? It is human nature to be full of warmth and rain. ”

Ji Lie smiled.

You've been in the barracks lately, getting along with these big guys every day.

The temptation of face to face, if you hesitate for a second, it is disrespectful to the girl of Yihong Courtyard!

Sure enough, Zhang Changde pretended to be reserved and authentic,

"Please wait a moment, and your subordinates will go down and change their clothes."

"Go, go, go."

Ji Lie snickered in his heart.

If I can't control your Zhang Changde's pulse, how can I still be an old Chinese medicine doctor?

As the number of guards expanded to 1,000, Ji Lie adapted them according to the military system of Great Xia.

Five people are one team, ten people are one tithe, and there are team chiefs and even chiefs.

For every 100 men, there are 100 commanders, and every 500 men are organized into a brigade with two deputy commanders.

In order to ensure better control of the guards, several centurions and deputy commanders were selected from the original royal guards.

Therefore, even if Zhang Changde does not stay in the barracks, there are two deputy commanders to take care of him, and there will be no big mess.

After a while, Zhang Changde took off his armor, changed into civilian clothes, and ran over.

Several people took a carriage and returned to Youzhou City before dark.

"Lord Wang, there is something unknown to my subordinates."

Zhang Changde said with some curiosity.
