Among them, the military general Zhang Xun was the first to jump up, he is the general under Li Miao, and he is also a representative of the army, you say that if you don't expand his Zhang Xun's command, forget it, you have to form a new battalion to come out, this is not to look down on him Zhang Xun.

"Your Majesty, with the three hundred elites under my command to protect Your Majesty, why do you need to build a new battalion!" Zhang Xun looked at Li Miao, meaning that what kind of battalion is newly built, you can directly expand the army for me is the king.

"Your Majesty, the new battalion, where will this grain, grass and ordnance come from?" This Yang Hong and others objected, a soldier and horse wanted to be formed, he didn't bring ordnance and grain and grass, this is not counting you, but you have to have someone.

But where did he Li Miao come from, if the people in the city are strong, it would be good to be able to pull out two or three hundred of the three thousand people, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled, how can these people build a new battalion? Moreover, it costs money, grain, grass and ordnance to form a battalion.

"Centaurs are those dolls!" Li Miao said to the crowd.

"Dolls?" Li Miao's subordinates didn't seem to know Li Miao.

Even Yang Hong stepped forward and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, you don't have a fever?"

"These kids can't do it now, but in a year, two years they will be able to really become an army, and what we need is to train them from now on!" Li Miao said to everyone, the current army is fighting, those who are soldiers, there is no such thing as a professional soldier at all, they are all pulled out of the farmland, two days ago may still be a peasant, two days later will be a soldier, and Li Miao is to train a professional army out, their lifelong task is to fight, what farming has nothing to do with them, what they need to specialize in is not how to make grain high, but how to kill the enemy to protect themselves.

"As for the grain and grass, it will be supplied on weekdays! Ordnance, I'll figure it out!" Grain and grass have to be given to them even if they don't train, but this ordnance made Li Miao embarrassed, there was no extra armor and weapons in the Jiang Pavilion at all, and the swords in the hands of many of the three hundred soldiers were also rusty.

Listening to Li Miao say this, everyone's hearts were relieved, and they felt that Your Majesty of our family is playing with their family, where is this army, it is obviously a scout army! Grain and grass are supplied as usual, and there is no shortage of people, this ordnance Li Miao has solved it by himself, basically it has nothing to do with them, Your Majesty, you can play if you want.

Seeing that no one objected, Li Miao couldn't help nodding, and let Chen Zhi be the chief general of the Boy Scout and also promoted Chen Zhi to the rank of captain, anyway, Li Miao is an empty emperor, this official position is not to be sealed, as long as it is not too excessive, Yang Hong and they don't care.

Everyone didn't know that this boy scout, who was disdainful of everyone, turned out to be the enemy's nightmare in the future, the trump card of the Li family's army.

Li Miao's order was quickly passed on, and the 1,200 dolls also rebuilt a large camp for him outside the Jiang Pavilion alone.

Li Miao arrived in the camp, Chen Zhi hurriedly greeted him, and 1,200 baby soldiers also began to gather, standing scattered, and also talking to each other, Li Miao didn't say anything, after all, they had just entered the camp, and they hadn't really started training yet, and they were still timid.

"General Zhang Xun, do you think these children are okay?" Li Miao was still followed by people, including Zhang Xun, the only general in Li Miao's hands.

Zhang Xun looked at those bean sprouts and pursed his lips, the long-term lack of food has led to the general malnutrition of these bean sprouts, and their bodies are even shorter, compared with the soldiers under him Zhang Xun, it is one in the sky and one in the ground.

But these people are still children after all, and Zhang Xun also knows that he will give his father-in-law a little face, but he will not flatter, so he can only reply "It's okay, it's okay!"

"Your Majesty, you're here!" General Zhang Xun" Chen Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to kneel down and salute Li Miao, but was stopped by Li Miao frowning, because Chen Zhi was a captain, so he still took out a set of armor from the treasury for Chen Dao.

Although it doesn't fit, it is also dressed in a decent way, but when Chen Zhi wants to kneel down and salute Li Miao, Chen Zhi has to untie two or three openings and take off his helmet, and in this way, he can't kneel on both knees, he can only kneel on one knee.

After putting on the armor, such a kneeling salute is obviously not suitable for the needs of the battlefield.

"In the future, the etiquette of kneeling will be abolished in the army!" Li Miao said to Chen Zhi.

"Your Majesty, you must not, there is no joke in the army, there is a strict hierarchy in the three armies, how can there be no bowing ceremony, there is no rule and there is no square circle, and the lower-level generals and colonels are not able to bow down when they see their superiors, isn't this a mess? Where is the majesty of the army!" Zhang Xun immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Looking at the angry look on Zhang Xun's face, he didn't expect Zhang Xun's reaction to be so big, Li Miao was also pondering, indeed, the strict hierarchy and the majesty of the army are reflected in this kneeling. The ancients had gold under their knees, and the bow was still very important, and the bow in the army was also the reason for the awe of the generals and the army.

But on the other hand, if the army goes out on an expedition or the battle situation is urgent, why do you also bow down? This is very inconvenient for the movement, and as for saluting or something, it is also inconvenient, and you still want to raise your hands to the door of your head while wearing armor.

Li Miao thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to mind, it is not okay to bow and salute, there is one that is not difficult, but also can reflect the appearance of military etiquette, that is, the kind of military salute used by the SS or the German ** people during World War II.

"Hi Hitler!"

"How about this!" Li Miao leaned forward and raised his arm slightly to show Zhang Xun and Chen Zhi, and the name changed from Hi Hitler to Yes, Your Majesty, or Generals and Obey Orders or something.

Zhang Xun still disagreed, although he also knew that this made it so convenient to march and fight, but the ancient law is like this, the ancestors can't be wrong, Li Miao was annoyed that he didn't think about choosing from the veterans to reorganize the battalion, otherwise it would be really difficult to change their thoughts and behaviors with some old antiques and veterans who have formed a mindset.

"General Zhang Xun, Yu Linwei, you are the main general, but this is the new army. Li Miao was angry at Zhang Xun for the first time.

"No, Your Majesty, in this army..."Zhang Xun wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Huai behind him, "General, these are all dolls, why should you." Zhang Xun then thought that he was a little too radical, these are just some baby soldiers, not regular soldiers, whatever he Li Miao does.

Although Zhang Xun was silent, his face was still not very good.

"Chen Dao, I have selected twenty brave veterans from General Zhang Xun's Yulin Guard, and they will be responsible for helping you train these new troops in the future. Li Miao said to Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi could only nod yes.

Zhang Xun and the others left, but news still came from the camp of these boy scouts from time to time.

That is, His Majesty asked these baby soldiers not to practice how to cut and kill people, but to practice what to take the right step, and what to move step by step, isn't this a ghost coaxing! Zhang Xun also went to see it once, and he walked quite squarely, but killing people on the battlefield is not for you to walk the catwalk.

Even Chen Zhi looked at his majesty suspiciously, does this soldier need to learn to walk? Who can't walk. It's been a long time.

"Uncle Zhi, what do you think is the most important thing for an army?" Li Miao asked Chen Zhi on the side.

"Important?" Chen Zhi thought for a while, in Chenjiazhuang, Chen Zhi not only learned martial arts, but also learned the art of war, and replied to Li Miao, "The most important thing in an army should be its elite!"

"Elite? It can be said that it is one of them, Shu Zhi, which one do you think belongs to the elite, a bear or a bee!" Li Miao asked Chen Zhi again. Chen Zhi didn't even think about it, so he replied that he was blind.

A bear is about three meters tall when it stands tall, and a bee is the size of a fly that can swatt him to death.

"But bears are afraid of swarms of bees!" Li Miao explained to Chen Zhi, there are really not many animals in the forest that can bring danger to adult bears, even if the tiger, the king of the forest, sees the bear, he has to retreat three points, but the bear has nothing to do with the bees. Because the bees only listen to the queen bee's orders, they lurk and follow without regard for casualties in order to drive away the blind bear. So one of the things in the forest that can cause harm to bears is bees.

"For the army of the princes of the world, they are bears, and we are the bees, if we want to make the bear afraid, then we must unite, and what unites us is orders! The most important thing in an army is to obey orders, unite and cooperate!" Li Miao said to Chen Zhi, and even instilled in Chen Zhi that soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty.

"When I let them take the right step, I am cultivating their teamwork and the ability to obey orders!" Li Miao said to Chen Zhi.

"Even if there is a cliff or a cliff in front of the army, you have to rush forward, this is the order!"

"Okay, Shuzhi, you continue to train with them!"

A week passed quickly, and the steps were also in good shape, Li Miao also specially took them to jump into the dung pit, and there was a dung pit in front of them, but if they obeyed the order, they had to walk over and jump down, without the slightest hesitation, and hesitated to punish the whole team. Slowly, these baby soldiers finally understood what an order was.

There is one thing that Li Miao is really embarrassed about. That is, there is no ordnance.

Weapons and armor are lacking in everything, nothing, and you can still walk the right way a week ago, so you have to train to cut people, how can you contact without weapons. There are only a dozen weapons in the treasury, and they are all rusty, and there are not a few pieces of armor.

Armor is generally based on step armor, leather armor, and iron armor, and the infantry armor is actually no armor or is wearing silk products inside, so the armor stomach has no resistance to melee weapons such as war knives and long swords, but it can have enough resistance to the arrows, and the bow and arrow cannot penetrate the silk when shot on it, so that it will not cause the bow and arrow to turn into the body to grind the muscles of the body and other things, and it is easy to treat the wound when pulled out.

But where to find the silk Li Miao, even his majesty only has two silk clothes.

Leather armor, which is made of animal skin, is not enough to kill all the horses in the whole city.

Not to mention the iron armor, the Yulin guards under Zhang Xun are all wearing leather armor.

In addition to these few, there is only one vine armor left.

That's right! Rattan armor, Li Miao's eyes flashed, he couldn't make leather armor without step armor, let alone iron armor, but he could have rattan armor.

Another famous battle is called Burning the Rattan Armor Soldiers, although the final outcome of the Vine Armor Soldiers was a little miserable, but you can't deny that if it weren't for the amazing defensive power of the Vine Armor, Zhuge Liang would not use such a method of roasting human flesh to deal with them.

"Make rattan armor?" Li Miao called Yang Hong and the others over, and asked Yang Hong and the others to take their men and horses to collect rattan and make rattan armor, so that the baby soldiers would have armor.

"Your Majesty, there are no rattans in this radius of hundreds of miles. Yang Hong said to Li Miao.

Li Miao realized that he took it for granted, rattan only grows in some mountains, this is not enough, it also needs a place with the same climate, there will be it, such as the middle generation of Shu or like there is indeed a large-scale green ivy in the direction of Yunnan.

And this Huainan generation really doesn't grow this thing, the mountains are only a few tens of meters, and they are all small mounds, how can there be so many green vines, let alone rattan armor.

"There is no rattan, so what's there!" Li Miao asked after a pause.

"Huainan produces bamboo!" Yang Hong explained to Li Miao.

"Bamboo?" Li Miao hadn't gone out to the Jiang Pavilion much since he came to this world, so he asked Yang Hong to take him to the bamboo forest to take a look.

"Moso bamboo?" Li Miao finally saw the pieces of bamboo forest, all of which were moso bamboo, which was the most widely used bamboo species among bamboo plants, and was also one of the most used tree species in forest wood and bamboo.

In other words, this kind of bamboo, he is adaptable, so he naturally distributes more, Li Miao looked at this bamboo forest must have at least a thousand acres of land.

The small bamboo may only be half a meter tall, and the big thick Li Miao is about to compare to the thickness of a person's neck and waist, and the height is about 20 meters.

"Okay, good, good!" Li Miao looked at these bamboo forests and immediately smiled.

"Okay?" Yang Hong and the others over there were a little strange why this lord actually danced when he saw these bamboo forests, isn't this a common bamboo.

No one understood Li Miao's thoughts, but Li Miao was extremely excited, and he drooled, "The armor is there, this weapon is also available," and the boy scouts can also be equipped with minions.

"Yang Situ, find someone for me to cut down the bamboo forest here!" Li Miao looked at this dense bamboo forest, and saliva was about to flow from his mouth.

"Your Majesty, these bamboos?" Yang Hong didn't understand why Li Miao wanted these bamboos.

"Cut down these coarser bamboos, cut them down, make them into bamboo chips, boil them in a pot, make them soft, and then use an iron cone to perforate them in them and link them together!" Li Miao said here, and Yang Hong's eyes flashed over there.

"Your Majesty wants to make armor?" Yang Hong looked at Li Miao's plan, and cut these bamboos into pieces, isn't this a piece of armor, and then connect him in series It is a piece of armor.

"En!" Li Miao nodded, bamboo slices, high flexibility, once you cook him, and then expose him to the sun to remove the moisture in him, it is a kind of strong nail piece. Bamboo is arguably the hardest thing outside of steel

"Hehe, go to war with a basket and a mat!" Zhang Xun over there suddenly grinned and smiled. There is a kind of disdain in the tone, from the beginning of Li Miao's formation of this baby soldier Zhang Xun is to express a kind of opposition, he Zhang Xun is His Majesty's chief general, His Majesty did not expand the army for himself, but re-formed a child soldier, this is not looking down on him Zhang Xun.
