(Thank you for the four 588 tips in the dust, thank you!) ）

"Run-Walk, One-Two-One, One-Two-Three, Four, Step, Stand!" With Lin Wei's loud command, a neat pace sounded on the training ground at the gate of Wang Li Village.

"Look to the right, look forward, take a break, stand upright, take a break!"

Li Jing held the roster in his hand and stood on a makeshift stage with all the officers to review. Out of the 1,200 men, two hundred and fifty of the best sergeants were finally selected, and these people will officially become soldiers today.

After half a month of intensive training, these soldiers have also changed greatly one by one. At this time, they stood neatly on the training ground, the queue was neat, and the military appearance was at its peak. The two hundred and fifty men were divided into five teams, and all of them had completed their changes today, and all of them had changed into neat new uniforms.

One by one, they held their heads high, wore flaming red hats on their heads, wore a crotch-deficient robe on the upper body, a warm ruffle jacket on the outside, a calf-length back on the outside, and new-style trousers on the lower body, all of which were a single color of fiery red, like a rising flame.

Since the 400 sets of equipment originally bought are still in the Dengzhou warehouse, the sergeants basically have no armor and weapons now, and only the veterans who served as officers are equipped with equipment, but they can change into new military uniforms and stand there, which is still the envy of other soldiers and craftsmen watching next to them.

After more than half a month of training, although I dare not say that these people are now elite, at least they seem to have a soldier. In particular, the two hundred and fifty carefully selected soldiers were all taller and more powerful and physically strong. More than 200 people stood there, their height basically the same. Compared with them, on the other side, Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong brought a hundred families, but they were a little inferior. Although the two teams also have the same equipment as the five teams, their quality is much inferior. Those who were homeless half a month ago, even if they put on brand new military uniforms, they always felt a little worse.

Zhang Hong looked at the momentum of the five teams of soldiers, and couldn't help but stroke his long beard and said to Li Jing: "As soon as this new military uniform is changed, it will completely change." It's worth it, the cost of the new uniform. It's really a new military uniform, and the old hen becomes a duck. It is worthy of the high price of two silk horses per military uniform, and it is worth it. ”

Lin Wei also nodded on the side, this military uniform was changed, it was indeed very different.

"That's inevitable, a neat military appearance can greatly enhance the sense of honor of the soldiers. Now it is too late to catch up with the system, and only one set of military uniforms will be issued to each person, and in the future, one person will have at least three sets of military uniforms, and they will have to be replaced every year. Our soldiers must be a group of soldiers full of a sense of honor, and they must not be a group of tattered clothes called Hanako. Now we give them brand new uniforms, and then we have to give them strict military discipline and generous salaries. "At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, most of the soldiers were government soldiers, and they were basically wealthy families. After the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the status of soldiers became lower and lower, and even now many soldiers under the Jiedu Mansion are about to become slaves. In Hebei, there were even feudal towns with tattoos on the faces of soldiers. By the end of the late Tang Dynasty, this custom would become more and more intense, and until the Song Dynasty, the status of the military would be the lowest.

Li Jing disagrees with this approach in his heart, if the soldiers have no sense of honor, then how can they rely on these people to protect their families and defend the country? It is precisely because more and more feudal towns do not treat soldiers as human beings that there are all kinds of lawlessness of the soldiers of the five generations in the late Tang Dynasty.

Glancing at the queue, Li Jing said loudly: "From now on, you are the soldiers of Shamen Town. From now on, the people around you are your comrades-in-arms, eating and sleeping together, and when you get to the battlefield, you will be brothers who depend on each other for life and death! Now, as a reward for your hard training and excellent performance, the general will personally award you with a reward, five silk horses per person for the battle team, and three silk horses per person for the family ding team! ”

The soldiers below were suddenly excited, five horses of silk could buy a stone of rice, everyone had already received the settling-in allowance before, and Li Jing also specially distributed their first month's salary in advance, which already made them happy. I didn't expect that now there is another reward. Although the reward of the family team is less than that of the war team, they were still fleeing from the famine half a month ago, and now they can become the general's family members, not only do they also have the same settlement allowance and food, but now they also have rewards, and they are all grateful to Li Jing at the moment.

Zhang Chengzong, Liu Shouqian, Li Shugen and Wang Shi immediately pushed up two carts of silk from behind, Li Jing stood in front of the car, Zhang Hong took the roster and every time a soldier came out of the ranks, Li Jing personally sent the silk to the hands of the soldiers.

"Good job!"

Every soldier who received the reward excitedly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Jing, and Li Jing was kind words of encouragement, which was also a good way to buy the hearts of the army. Although the method was somewhat simple, the effect was amazing, and a few silk horses completely bought the hearts of those soldiers. Li Jing believes that even if he wants to rebel with these soldiers now, it is estimated that no one will oppose it.

Li Jing's methods of military training, in addition to referring to some methods of later generations, mostly looked through Li Jing's military books. Especially for the method of placing a formation mentioned in Li Jingbing's book, the formation of a team is the first. Fifty people are a team, and every three people who win each other form a small team, three small teams are a squadron, and five squadrons are a large team. A team of three people, usually these three people cultivate a relationship, enhance tacit understanding, so that the friendship is cultivated at the beginning, and when they go to the battlefield, these three people are a team, and they can also exert greater combat effectiveness.

After the five teams of soldiers and the two teams of soldiers received the bounty, they began to pull. After the end of the year, Li Jing brought the family members of the officers with him, and the Han family was originally relieved to stay at home and wanted to stay. However, Li Jing persuaded her, and finally said that she was moved, and as for the more than 1,000 acres of land at home, it was handed over to several uncles of the same clan to take care of. Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang also followed on the road, and even Xiao Han's actually offered to follow, saying that they hadn't gotten along with Li Jing's mother.

Li Jing left Lin Wu, Du Zhongwu, and Cui Zhiyuan behind, and let them take charge of taking the remaining craftsmen and soldiers, as well as the families of those soldiers, to Dengzhou Port by land. Due to the large number of people, they had to set off in batches.

Chishan Port, when Li Jing arrived with the team, Old Man Cui was already waiting for him at the port. After these days, Old Man Cui had already taken the money given by Li Jing and recruited all the required crews. Due to Li Jing's favorable conditions, it didn't take much trouble to recruit the crew, and the money was scattered, and more than 200 crew members had already been recruited.

Li Jing boarded the Ninghai with more than 400 people, plus a crew of more than 200, and there were nearly 700 people on board at once, but it was still not crowded.

"Anchor! Sail! ”

On the bow of the ship, the swarthy captain's long voice sounded, and the ship was busy when it boarded. Anchor of the anchor, sail of the sail. The huge Ninghai also began to slowly sail away from the dock.

The boat traveled smoothly along the coast, and two days later, it had arrived at the port of Dengzhou.

After arriving at Dengzhou Port, Li Jing did not go directly to Shamen Town, but took Zhang Hong and Lin Wei to temporarily dock at the port and went to Penglai first. After taking out the 300 sets of equipment stored in the warehouse at the dock and transporting them back to the ship, Li Jing went to the Han family's warehouse to receive the silk cloth grain that the Han family gave to Li Jing. There were too many grains for Li Jing to take away for a while, but after receiving them, he continued to store them in the warehouse temporarily.

After dealing with these things, Li Jing and Zhang Hong went directly to visit the assassin Shi Song Wen.

I haven't seen him for nearly a month, but Song Wen looks a little haggard. According to what Zhang Hong said, Song Wen was happy not long after he became the assassin, and Wang Jingwen took over the position of Changshi, and the two of them are now like fire and water, and they are inseparable. Although Song Wen is a thorn in history, Wang Jingwen is not simple, relying on his younger brother to be a Qingzhou general, Dengzhou Navy Division and Da Xie Yan's soldiers and horses are Wang Jingwu's people, and they openly work against Song Wen.

As soon as Li Jing met, he directly gave Song Wen a gift of 1,000 yuan, and Song Wen accepted it with a smile on his face. Last time about the Han family, Song Wen received 5,000 yuan at once, and his attitude towards Li Jing was very good.

Song Wen said with a smile: "Last time you said that you wanted to buy a batch of ordnance, there happened to be a batch of equipment that was originally going to be replenished to Da Xie Qi and Dengzhou Sailors, and you said you planned to eat them all?" Last time, Zhang Bingcao sent 10,000 yuan, saying that the rest would be sent later, this time you came, but you got the money ready? ”

"It's all ready, I've already brought the remaining 40,000 yuan, you collect it." Li Jing took out 40,000 yuan of flying money and sent it to Song Wen. Song Wen carefully inspected it, nodded with a smile and accepted it.

"Song Envoy, we have already paid the money, I don't know when Lu Dao will receive this goods?"

"It's going to take a few more days, half a month. This batch of goods was shipped from Qingzhou, and it will take some time on the way. ”

"I wonder if there are any such goods like Lu Dao? If so, I want to buy some more. Li Jing said with a smile.

Song Wen shook his head: "You, what do you think of me?" Arms dealers? Tell you, it's this batch of goods, and it's all because of the big Xie Zhang's Feng Zhang and Wang Jin's water master who have been making small moves recently, and they want to fight against Wang Jingwu against Jieshuai. The marshal withheld their weapons just to set an example and give them a warning. Otherwise, for 50,000 yuan, do you think you can really buy a thousand sets of such sophisticated equipment? ”

"By the way, I have to tell you something, I heard that you have recruited thousands of people in your hometown. Do you want to do it? The number of soldiers in Shamen Town is only 300, what are you recruiting so many people for? Tell you that someone is already speaking ill of you. If it weren't for me and the marshal, what do you want to do with so many soldiers? This time, you have to keep a low profile if you go to Shamen Town, that Feng Zhang is not easy to deal with. If you are caught by him and hurt your feet, I will not be able to speak for you. ”

After talking about the meeting again, Li Jing saw that he couldn't get any benefits, so he got up and said goodbye. Leaving the Song Mansion, Li Jing went directly to King Zhao's Mansion again, originally Li Jing wanted King Zhao to speak and call Li Huier and them back, but who would have thought that King Zhao Li Xiao didn't care about these at all, just said to let them mess around and let Li Jing watch more. The angry Li Jing didn't stay to eat, and went back to the port directly.
