After Yang Yan and his entourage returned to Jingjiang Mansion, Cao Xun and Gao Zhen also explained some things in Jingjiang Mansion during this period to Yang Yan. During the time that Yang Yan was in Guangzhou, the Manichaean army also launched an attack on the Song army. However, the Song troops stationed on all sides followed Yang Yan's orders and strictly defended without fighting. The Manichaean army launched several small-scale tentative attacks, and seeing that the Song army was well defended, they did not dare to attack in a big way, so the two sides held on to each other.

At this time, the reorganization and recruitment of the local army in Guangxi were basically completed, and a total of more than 23,600 local troops in Guangxi were reorganized, which were divided into five armies: front, rear, left, right, and center, with Liu Tianbiao, the commander of the Jingjiang Prefecture, Cai Wenhu, the commander of the Yizhou Soldiers, Ma Biao, the commander of the Zhaozhou regiment, Guo Shixiong, the commander of the Hezhou regiment, and Yu Chenglong, the commander of the Liuzhou regiment.

More than 13,000 local people were recruited, and they were divided into three armies: Tabai, Youyi, and Shengjie. Among them, the Tabai Army was mainly composed of the servants of Yongzhou, with Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia as the commanders, Xue Song as the commander of the Rongzhou regimental training, and Wang Peng as the commander of the Shengjie army in Lianzhou.

The average number of troops in the army is about four to five thousand, but these new armies are collectively called the Guangxi Army, which is used to distinguish them from the Ma Military Division and the Infantry Military Division. The reorganization and recruitment of these armies took a lot of effort from Cao Xun and Gao Zhen, and the age, physique, physical condition, strength, endurance, etc., of the non-commissioned soldiers were all selected strictly according to the criteria for recruitment.

Thanks to the prescription that Guangyan gave to Yang Yan, the people of the Ma Military Division brought by Yang Yan from Lin'an were also somewhat suitable for the climate of Guangxi, and most of the sick soldiers began to gradually improve. You can start training again. The next step is to start training the new army.

******************************

"Listen, everyone, no matter what you were like before, if you are selected to join the Guangxi army, your salary will not be less. I just want you to go and destroy Manichaeism and go into battle to kill the enemy. If you can't practice martial arts well, you can't go into battle to kill the enemy, you can't go into battle to kill, what's the use of you? What's more, the battle between the two armies is a murderous business, if you practice martial arts well, and if you practice high, you will be able to kill the enemy, and if your martial arts are not as good as his, you will be killed by the enemy and give your life in vain. So from now on, each and every one of you must train hard and practice martial arts well. Those who practice well will be rewarded, and those who practice badly will be punished. If anyone can't afford it, they can also bring it up themselves, refund this salary, come from there, and go back there......"

"Returned this salary, come from there, and go back there. That's something so easy. Wang Qi listened and thought below. Wang Qi knew that the person who stood on the high platform to lecture them was the new Guangxi envoy Lord Yang, and this Lord Yang was the famous General Xiao Yang who went on an expedition to Heiyang Mountain, stuck to Hengshan Mountain, and defeated the famous Manichaean army in Renxiu and Guangzhou.

But this man looks so young, at most in his early twenties. At such a young age, he became a system envoy all the way, and I heard that he was engaged to the princess, and he was the future colt. There is really no comparison between people and people. I'm almost thirty years old, and I'm still a small soldier, and I don't even have one in the Hun family. I can only wait until I get paid every month, and then go to the kiln and find a random woman to vent. Now that I finally squeezed into the forbidden army from the local army, it would be so easy to go back.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi looked left and right, Zhang Xin, Hong Liang, You Hai, and Lei Tonggang were all there, but there were still three people who had not been selected into the forbidden army. Otherwise, the Eight Tigers of Lion Street will be able to get together again. However, this time the evasion of the forbidden army is really strict, and it is enough not to report to the original army when he joined the army. Measure weight, measure height, lift stone piers, pull hard bows, run, jump. That's all for real.,Fortunately, I usually practice a few strokes.,Otherwise, it's really enough.。

Wang Qi was originally a gangster in Zhaozhou, and usually did some petty theft, fights and brawls, and later lost all his belongings because of gambling money, so he had to join the army in order to eat and eat, and served as a soldier in the Zhaozhou Garrison Division for three years. This time, when Yang Yan reorganized the Guangxi local army, several of them were selected. The military salary also rose from 60 yuan a month to 120 yuan a month. And they have all become official forbidden troops, so they are naturally reluctant to go back to the place.

But there are a lot of rules when you enter the forbidden army, fifty-four bans, seventeen laws and beheadings, needless to say, that is, no one is allowed to leave the camp without a reason, Wang Qi felt unbearable, he thought that his salary had risen, just to improve his life, at least when looking for women, he could go to those who were sitting in the embroidery building, instead of going to those who stood on the side of the road to solicit customers. If you save a few months, you may be able to go to Yihong Courtyard for the night and taste the taste of a small pepper. Maybe after saving a few years of money, you can make a few acres of land, marry a woman, and start a family.

However, Wang Qi also served as a soldier in Zhaozhou for three years, and he had heard of the fifty-four prohibitions and seventeen beheadings before. In fact, it's not just an ornament, and few people take these rules seriously. It's not the same thing here, others don't say it, it's his former boss, and Master Ma Biao, the leader of the Zhaozhou regimental training, will definitely not be able to stand these rules. Don't look at what you say now, and see how many people will honor it when the time comes.

However, the facts of the next few days completely surprised Wang Qi and his people, and the training intensity of the new army far exceeded Wang Qi's imagination. Every morning, I practice lifting stone piers, pulling carts, and running with weights. In the afternoon, the instructor began to supervise them to practice martial arts. If you are a little lazy or do not do something properly, you will be scolded by the instructor, and sometimes you will be beaten a few times.

And the most painful thing is to practice with the instructor, I don't know if it is the instructor they invited from there, there are indeed two strokes under the hands, although the two sides are only using wooden sticks, but the wooden sticks in the hands of the instructors are unpredictable, and they can always hit themselves from unexpected places. At the end of the day, everyone will be hit several times, although it does not hurt the muscles and bones, but it can also cause a blood mark on the body, which is a hot pain.

As a result, as soon as the first day of training was over, Wang Qi, Zhang Xin, Hong Liang, You Hai, and Lei Tonggang felt that their whole bodies were sore even with bone joints, their arms were weak, and their legs were like being filled with lead. When I got back to the barracks, I threw myself on the bed and didn't want to move.

Suddenly, he heard a scream of "sigh", and You Hai, who was next to Wang Qi's bed, jumped up from the bed with a "Teng", and his mouth was still inhaling "silk, silk". It turned out that when he fell on the bed, he happened to touch the painful place, and suddenly jumped up again.

Zhang Xin, who was lying on his stomach in the other bed, sighed and said: "I thought it would be better to be a forbidden army, but now it seems that the bowl of rice of the forbidden army is really not delicious, I knew that it would be better to go back to Zhaozhou." ”

Wang Qiyi turned over and sat up from the bed and said, "What's the noise?" The food here is also better than Zhaozhou, and is it so easy to earn 120 yuan a month? Bear with me. ”

Hong Liang said: "One hundred and twenty wen a month, it sounds good, and there can be a few that can fall into our hands." ”

Wang Qi said: "That's better than sixty wen a month before." But don't say that you are not allowed to leave the camp without this order, even without this order, I don't want to go there now, I don't have any strength at all, and now I still have the energy to go out and do other things. ”

Lei Tonggang was a little impatient, and shouted angrily: "Don't make any noise, don't do it if you don't want to, didn't you say it?" If anyone can't stand it, he will return this salary, come from there, and go back there. I'm going to sleep, so I'm going to practice tomorrow? ”

The next day, several people dragged their still sore bodies to start a new day of training.

******************************

Since the military is different, the focus of training is also different. Due to their good foundation, the forbidden troops of the Ma Military Division and the Infantry Military Division mainly practiced formations and coordinated operations between various arms. Therefore, large-scale combat exercises are often carried out. Because their quality is relatively good, and the strength and training experience of generals at all levels are also relatively rich, Yang Yan can let go of the training to be arranged by the commanders of various armies, and he only needs to advise and check it from time to time.

However, Yang Yan knew that the newly reorganized and recruited Guangxi Army had a poor foundation, and if it was not strictly trained, it would not be enough to become a qualified army. Therefore, he, Cao Xun, and Gao Zhen focused on the training of the Guangxi Army. At present, the training of the Guangxi Army is still mainly based on the physical fitness and combat ability of individuals, and it is necessary to familiarize themselves with orders, strengthen the awareness of orders and prohibitions, obey military orders, and the meaning of waving various flags.

The training level of the forbidden army of the Ma Military Division and the Infantry Military Division is relatively high in peacetime, and now Yang Yan's training intensity is large, but he can also adapt to it. Most of the recruited people are also good people, and although the training is hard, they just endure it honestly. But it is the suffering of those local troops in Guangxi, most of these local troops are usually lazy and accustomed to it, and they can withstand such hard training, and almost everyone has shed a layer of skin in a few days, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the generals and regimental training envoys of various armies can't stand it.
