Chapter 55 Preparation

Following the hasty celebration of the county citizens of Pingwu County, Song Qingshu began to carry out a comprehensive reorganization of the army, although the Battle of the Eagle's Beak Demon Army was victorious, but it also exposed many problems, especially the lack of training of soldiers, which has reached the point of urgency. Without regular military training as soon as possible, it is difficult to imagine how they would respond to the next attack of the Yuan army.

"General! There are 3,000 households in Pingwu County, nearly 10,000 people, and all the qualified people in Pingwu County have been conscripted into the army, a total of more than 1,500 people! This is the roster!" Zhang Chong held a roster with both hands and respectfully handed it over.

"Yes. Song Qingshu took the roster, flipped through a few pages casually, put them aside, and said lightly: "Fill all these soldiers into the Demon Army, all the officers of the Demon Army will be promoted, and the soldiers will be selected as the captain." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chong replied with joy in his heart.

The Demon Sweeping Army suddenly expanded from the original four or five hundred people to more than two thousand, and the original Demon Sweeping officers and soldiers can be said to be all promoted. And Zhang Chong was the first subordinate to follow Song Qingshu, and this time the strength of his subordinates has been greatly improved, so he is naturally happy in his heart.

Of course, it is not bad for Song Qingshu, the Demon Army is Song Qingshu's descendant, and this army was formed by him bit by bit. Each and every one of them was saved by him from the brink of life and death, and he could even call each of them by name!

The loyalty of this army to him is undoubted, with the officers and soldiers of the original Demon Swinging Army serving as the officers and backbones of the new Demon Swinging Army, Song Qingshu can still perfectly control this newly established Demon Swinging Army.

Any man in troubled times, if he wants to make a difference, he must have his own descendant troops. This is the seed, with them it is possible to expand the force infinitely at the right time, without worrying about the force getting out of control.

Just like Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, although he was defeated countless times, he was never eliminated, because he always had his own troops, and once he got the opportunity, he could soar into the sky!

After the establishment of the army was completed, Song Qingshu began a drastic reorganization, and the demon army already had 2,000 people. This is a real army, no longer the original grass platform team, and many things must be put on the right track!

First of all, there is the issue of weapons and equipment, the previous Demon Swinging Army has always used the equipment captured from the Yuan Army, scimitar and strong bow. At that time, there were few people and equipment had always been rich, but this time it suddenly expanded to 2,000 people, and the weapons and equipment were suddenly stretched.

After carefully counting all the captured weapons and armor, he could only make up the equipment of a thousand people. Song Qingshu thought about it for a while, and arranged for five hundred people to be equipped with strong bows and scimitars to form an archer battalion. Duan Xiaofei served as the battalion commander. Another 500 people were selected with two horses, also equipped with strong bows and scimitars, to form a cavalry battalion, with Zhang Chong as the battalion commander.

As for the remaining 1,000 people, two spear battalions were formed, with Li Ran and Zhang Li as the battalion commanders respectively. These two people were also the first to follow Song Qingshu to raise troops, and because of their bravery, they came to this position step by step.

The choice of gun as the main weapon of the demon army is Song Qingshu has long planned to draw a good line, the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the martial proverb is "the year of the knife and the moon stick when the gun", that is, the marksmanship is the easiest to learn, and it can be used when it is learned, and it is immediately effective and suitable for soldiers.

The general uses soldiers, and there are eighteen potentials, soldiers use guns, as long as six types, big seals and big thorns. Bing Shuyun: "The battle is convenient, and the winner is expected, and there is no such thing as the big seal and the big split, that is, the big seal and the big split is the real battlefield marksmanship, which is a practical technique summarized from the battlefield enemy, and it is believed that this method is the best, the most urgent, the most fast, and the most victorious."

In fact, these are not original, they have been recorded in the military books, but there are very few people who can learn them. Of course, there is one of the most significant benefits of using guns as the main weapon in the army, and that is to save money!

Ancient China has always been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, and in this case, as the ruler of a dynasty, the treasury does not have much income. Even when the prosperous monarch is just to maintain a balance of income and expenditure, once he encounters a disaster year and a famine year, or when the monarch is faint, he will not be able to make ends meet.

And the spear is good, a wooden stick, plus an iron spear head is enough! Compared with the broadsword and strong bow, this is really too cheap! No wonder the army has liked this weapon since ancient times, it is really forced by the environment, and it has to be done as a last resort!

And the same is true for the current Song Qingshu, smelting the captured broken scimitar to make a spear head, and then picking some wax trunks in the mountains to make a gun barrel, the spear is considered to be made!

If you have a gun, you must also have marksmanship! This Song Qingshu was also prepared for a long time, and when he led the villagers of Zhangjia Village to attack the first Yuan soldier squad, he had already asked Qianchen to adapt a set of marksmanship based on the Yang family gun. Anyway, he stays in the mental space every day, and the idle egg hurts, just to find him something to do.

Don't underestimate the past, although the original Song Qingshu ended in tragedy, he was able to overwhelm the crowd at the Shaolin Lion Slaying Conference with the eighteen palms of the dragon, and became one of the three major young masters of the Central Plains martial arts after Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, which shows that he is not good at his generation.

Judging from the strength he showed at the Shaolin Conference, he was by no means worse than the current Song Qingshu's strength! A proper innate master! And the former dust who had obtained the memory of the original Song Qingshu was not difficult to change a set of battlefield marksmanship with the Yang family gun cheats in hand.

Of course, Song Qingshu did not forget to select 50 of the most elite soldiers to form a reinforced platoon as his own guard platoon! This is equivalent to his personal army, and those who are great generals must have personal soldiers! Although Song Qingshu was quite confident in his martial arts and did not need the protection of these personal soldiers, he still formed a personal soldier team.

The pro-soldier team is not only to protect the safety of the manager, but also a place to select talents and promote cronies. A soldier who looks at himself pleasing to the eye is selected into the pro-soldier team, and if he stays for two years and is released, he can be directly promoted, and this kind of person will always be labeled against him, and he will be his most loyal descendant!

The candidate for the captain of the pro-soldiers, he was originally going to let a person named Liu Feng serve as the captain, and he was also one of the first villagers to follow Song Qingshu to raise troops. There are also few people in the villagers who have learned martial arts for a few days, but after Zhou Zhiruo heard about it, he made a fuss about serving as the captain of the pro-soldiers. Song Qingshu had no choice but to let her serve as the vice captain, and Liu Feng could only wronged him as the vice captain.

Despite this, even if Zhou Zhiruo became the captain of the personal soldiers and followed Song Qingshu to the battlefield, her main job was to serve Song Qingshu. And the task of commanding and training the pro-soldier team still has to be done by Liu Feng, when Zhou Zhiruo became the nominal captain of the pro-soldier team, the real power is still in Liu Feng's hands!
