Although only six soldiers ate meat at the same table with Lin Jian at this meal, all the soldiers were extremely excited and their morale was greatly boosted.

After eating, Lin Jian returned to the middle courtyard and asked Yang Shi and Zhao Hu to meet him after dinner.

Seeing Yang Shi and Zhao Hu come in, Lin Jian put aside the matter at hand, and said earnestly: "Lord Gu is going to reopen the prison city in the future, in addition to managing the prison well, the prison guards are the key, I boasted in front of the adults that I want to train five or six hundred elites for him, it is easy to say, but it is to throw nearly ten thousand taels of silver into it every year." You should hurry up about the training of the troops, and I will find a way to deal with the silver. Lin Lian said this to Yang Shi is also a half-truth, the biggest use of raising money at the moment is indeed to use it for military training, and because some of the things he did on Prison Island can't hide from Yang Shi's eyes, picking these apart to make it clear is also to have a bottom in Yang Shi's heart, and the tens of thousands of taels of training silver every year are not falling from the sky for no reason. Is it just for Gu Wuchen to train soldiers? Lin Tie is not so simple, if he is like-minded, he naturally will not mind serving Gu Wuchen before and after the saddle; If he parted ways one day, Lin Jian hoped that the elite who had worked hard to raise money could be used for his own use.

After asking about some exercises, Lin Jian asked Yang Shi to go to the prison to inspect and leave Zhao Hu to speak.

"It's better to say that it's a limit of three months to compare whose training methods, Yang Shi, this kid, has secretly mixed the training methods you wrote into the training methods in the past two days, and he really thinks that others can't see it." Zhao Hu told Lin Jian about Yang Shi stealing the method in his manuscript to train soldiers.

"I'm just afraid that he will be stubborn and don't use my methods," Lin Jian said with a smile, "Who doesn't have a high-minded and arrogant temperament?" Let's not talk about this yet. Let Zhao Hu accompany him to the courtyard for a walk, Zhou Pu was teaching the five guards in the courtyard to practice the most basic slashing movements, and they all withdrew their hands when they saw Lin Jian come out.

"Chen Huamian, come here," Lin Jian stood under the eaves and called out to a guard in the courtyard, this soldier had a dark red fetal spot on his face that covered the corner of his left face and even covered his eyes, fortunately, his skin was also dark, and it didn't look very dazzling at night. In fact, the guards around Lin Jian were all from Jiangning military households, and they didn't have any serious names. Li Ergou and Li Chai are brothers, Li Ergou's original name was Li Goupi, and when he was recruited, he thought Li Goupi was too ugly, so he changed his name to Li Ergou, and it didn't sound much better. There are two remaining soldiers, one is named Yao Mazi and the other is Ma Xingzi, both of whom sound like names. Lin Lian beckoned Chen Huamian to come to him, and said, "The four of them have just come back from outside, you tell them about the past few days to practice the errands......" Before Lin Lian took a boat to the north shore, he saw that the inappropriate errand was idle, so he asked Chen Huamian to stay behind to practice these errands for him; When he returned, he made a rule that the errand who was not on duty would practice for half an hour in the morning and evening.

Chen Hua's face is a man who is nearly thirty years old, standing there like a black tower, with fetal marks and horizontal flesh on his face, looking very fierce, and when he heard Lin Jian ask him to tell others about the drills in the past few days, his face instantly turned purple.

"You're nervous," Lin Lian laughed and kicked him, "I didn't see you nervous when you pumped those errand soldiers with a stick." Li Ergou, Li Chai, Yao Mazi, Ma Xingzi, which one makes you nervous? ”

scolded and kicked Lin Lian, Chen Hua's face eased up, and said with a shy face: "I've been bullied by the errand servants in the tun since I was a child, \/ Of course they are energetic, and the rest, I really haven't spoken in front of so many people, my tongue is knotted and panicked, and it doesn't go well!" ”

The other four guards have been running around with Lin Jingzhong outside for the past few days, but they didn't expect Hua Mianzi to be so familiar with the adults after a few days, thinking that this chief is still very easy to get along with, and the apprehension when he saw Lin Jian coming to the courtyard just now was three points less.

Lin Jian asked everyone else to come to him and said, "There must be a rule for everything, as long as you don't break the rules, you don't have to be too restrained when you do things by my side." Not only did I ask Chen Huamian to practice for me every day, but the four of you had to take turns to do this. It's not difficult, Chen Huamian has done a good job in the past few days, let Chen Huamian tell you some things first, if there is anything you don't understand, you can all ask Zhou Ye for advice. You are all from military families, and it is your duty to enter the camp, and you also have to make ends meet. In addition to these, I hope you will also put more thought into it, the goal of the flag head is a little shallow, and it is not too difficult to earn a reputation as a military attaché......" Lin Jian put down the shelf and chattered with the five guards for a long time, then asked them to go to practice with Zhou Pu again, and said to Zhao Hu, "If you want to see which soldier is a seedling on weekdays, send it to me, and let Zhou Ye personally train for a period of time - in addition, the prisoners are released to work in the prison every day, and I let the soldiers be guarded in a group of five, which is useful, when you practice daily, Also pay attention to this grouping. The general pawn doesn't see any difference, but for veterans who have fought a hundred battles or elite pawns who have undergone rigorous training, a group of five may have more benefits......"

On the basis of the "Shiwu system" of his predecessors, Su Jinyuan proposed the formation method of "making sixty people a squadron, with a small colonel or lieutenant as the goal, combining four squads, and selecting those who are brave and good at guns as the banner leader". This formation method is appropriate when the level of training of the soldiers is lower and the infantry tactics are more focused on formation. Cold weapon warfare often decides victory or defeat at the moment when someone breaks down the opponent's formation first, and the battle lacks sustainability.

Although the 33 system of later generations has experienced the test of long-term war as an excellent infantry tactic, Lin Jian is not sure that the 33 system is necessarily suitable for the current era when cold weapons are king. Considering the characteristics of the long and short phase system and the difference between far and near, Lin Jian wanted to try the new formation method of "three forces", and on the basis of the formation of fifteen pawns in the world, he subdivided three combat groups, and the five pawns were divided into a group, and this new formation method had little impact on the original.

In the past, the fifteen soldiers selected the brave and good spear as the banner leader, and now he selects some people to serve as the guard soldiers, and at the same time, Zhou Pu and himself will personally teach the sword skills and some basic tactical knowledge, and in the future, these brave and good sword men can gradually become the head of the five pawns, become the banner head, play a higher tactical command role, and it is more conducive to him to directly control the soldiers.

Maybe in the city of Jiangning, where "the other bank is still singing/gardening flowers", there are no signs of the autumn of troubled times, and after a trip to the north bank, I deeply feel that the Dayue Dynasty is already terminally ill. Lin Jian also has the intention of doing a great career, but in troubled times, he must first consider self-preservation. As a human being in two lives, Lin Jian wants to take his fate into his own hands, and he does not want to grovel to the east and west. In his opinion, if you want to protect yourself, you must undoubtedly have an elite force, and in the troubled times, even if you are powerless to save the sky, you can retreat to Changshan Island, or find a farther island to wait for the troubled times to subside.

Lin Jian looked at the night sky in the north, and sighed in his heart, it was still a little cold in the night, and he wanted to go into the house to finish the matter at hand, at this time, there was a noisy noise from the south.

The sound came from the direction of the estuary!

Zhao Hu stood up when he heard the voice, and Zhou Pu also stopped in the courtyard.

Something happened at the mouth of the Jinchuan River, and they blocked the view with a high wall in the courtyard.

Zhao Hu hurriedly entered the house to help Lin Tie the waist knife; Lin Jian took the knife in his hand, took Zhao Hu, Zhou Pu and the five guards to the gate of the prison, and ordered the guards on duty to open the gate.

At this time, the wind lanterns were extinguished together, and listening to the noisy crying, someone attacked the camp first, extinguished all the campfires, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill.

"......" Lin Jian spat hatefully, and grabbed the waist knife in his hand tightly.

"Except for those on duty, the soldiers are lined up!" Yang Shi also listened to the sound and rushed to the gate to watch, confirming that someone was attacking the camp of the recruiters on the other bank at night, he ordered the soldiers to come out and form a team, and asked Lin Tie, "Please order the ship to be prepared, and I will lead the soldiers to cross the river to support!" ”

From here, it is a mile of waterway to the mouth of the river, even if you swing the oar slowly, it is a tea time; If you the oars, it's just a matter of moments.

"......" Lin Jian shook his head, there were two boats tied to the dock, one was a Wupeng boat and the other was a fast oared light boat, but the campfire on the other side was extinguished, and there was no star and moon tonight, rushing here to support would only make the scene more chaotic. If you want to talk about combat strength, there are more than 30 people from Cao Ziang and the Ge brothers, and Wu Qi is also on the other side, which is far stronger than the support of 34 military soldiers, the key is to rush to build a shack tonight, and nearly 500 people who recruit and drag their families have no time to organize effectively, and they can't even tell outsiders to mix in, and it can also be said that Lin Lian himself didn't expect that someone would sneak attack the camp of the recruiters tonight. Once the campfire is extinguished for the attackers and the chaos is created, even if he himself is on the other side, he will not be able to control the situation in a short time. Besides, it was pitch black on the river, and it was unknown whether the attackers had hidden another warship to prepare for an ambush, so how could he send soldiers from Prison Island to support the other side? Lin Jian is not worried about Cao Ziang and the Ge brothers now, but he is worried about Lin Jingzhong and Qian Xiaowu \/Don't have an accident in the chaos.

Lin Jian frowned and listened for a while, and heard that the number of attackers on the other side was actually not much, but the lack of effective organization of the recruiters and displaced people, and the panic Siyi further aggravated the panic, so he ordered and said: "There are more pine resin and fire oil on the pulp ship, and Zhou Pu and I will escort the military guards to the past, and the eldest Sun Geng, Yang Shi and Zhao Hu will lead the military soldiers to strictly guard the prison and not leave the island!" ”

"Lord Lin...... "The eldest grandson Geng was born as a scribe, and although he didn't feel weak when he heard the shouts of killing on the other side, he couldn't help but persuade him when he heard that Lin Jian was going to go to the other side in the dark.

"I'm going to be fine...... Lin Jian said, let the side hurry up and prepare, if there is an attack on the river, he will have a big deal to jump into the water with Zhou Pu and them to avoid the enemy!

Zhao Hu didn't say anything else, took off the leather armor on his body and handed it to Lin Bin; Yang Shi asked a soldier behind him who was about the same size as Zhou Pu to take off his leather armor and put it on for Zhou Pu.
