Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Su Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Liu Kangding and said, "Old Liu, ever since my father died at the hands of the chicken people, I suddenly woke up. Our great China has inherited thousands of years of history, but now the major warlords are constantly fighting internally with the support of barbarians. Other countries are eyeing us covetously, wishing to share our wealth. If we want to change the status quo, we must start with ourselves, build an invincible army, develop our power, and have a chance in the future to completely drive these foreigners out of our land!"

Listening to Su Zhengyang's powerful words, Liu Gangding felt a surge of blood gushing out of his chest, and said solemnly: "Captain, I am willing to work with you to fulfill this wish, even if it means death!"

Su Zhengyang smiled and said, "Let's go. They are still waiting for our news in the base."

In the security regiment's base, Su Zhengyang said to the soldiers in front of him who were trying their best to straighten their bodies and line up in an orderly manner: "Everyone! Get ready to go. The target is the training ground in the west of the city. Run!"

The training ground west of Sanjiang County covers an area of ​​more than 40 acres and is equipped with shooting ranges, parade grounds, barracks and other facilities.

A few years ago, when Du Xiaojun was still a battalion commander, he was ordered to be stationed in Sanjiang County, which was also built with money and effort from the Du family at that time.

At that time, the 358th Regiment lost almost % of its troops in the battle with the Zhao warlord. It was Du Xiaojun who volunteered to help the higher-ups solve the problem of manpower and made great contributions. From then on, he was promoted to regimental commander.

"Lao Liu! Pick eight people from the guard squad, and each of them will lead a squad. The current 96 soldiers in the security regiment will be divided into eight squads. They will first undergo basic training and physical training. They will be evaluated once a month. The squad with the best performance will be rewarded with three dollars for the squad leader, and one dollar for the others!"

"Yes, leader!"

Each of Su Zhengyang's personal guards is a soldier from his father's current guard battalion. Each of them has been on the battlefield many times and is an extremely experienced veteran. Moreover, each of them has his own unique skills.

For example, Liu Gangding not only ranked among the top three in the Jiangbei Army competitions many times, but also had extraordinary skills and superb marksmanship, and had made many military achievements on the battlefield.

After Su Zhengyang's father passed away, power fell into the hands of others and these talents withdrew from the front-line team and became the Su family's guards.

After arranging everything, the eight veterans began to lead their squads to conduct basic training meticulously on the training ground, while Su Zhengyang took Liu Gangding with him to wander around this huge training ground.

It took Su Zhengyang more than half an hour to tour the entire training ground. The barracks built here were large enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 people for long-term living and training. There was also a specially built villa inside, which was where Du Xiaojun lived when he was training.

Su Zhengyang immediately decided to let Liu Gangding bring his men back to the base, move all the supplies from the base warehouse and his own luggage, and settle them outside the city.

Only a few guards were left at the original security team’s base in case any emergency occurred and someone found the security team.

Half a month passed in a flash. The security soldiers, who were originally like village thugs, had a completely new look after the painstaking training and instruction of eight veterans. At least now when they stood in front of Su Zhengyang, they all had dark skin, tall stature, stern expressions, and really looked like soldiers.

In the security corps, not only are there dollars to be earned, but the food is also mouth-watering. Rice and flour are served every day, and canned beef is supplied once a day. The soldiers are full of energy and are as energetic as calves.

Su Zhengyang came to the training ground and signaled Liu Kangding to gather all the soldiers together.

Liu Gangding immediately blew the assembly call. In less than two minutes, the soldiers quickly gathered together and formed teams in squads.

"I'm very happy that after half a month of training, you finally look like soldiers. But I want to say that you must stay calm and not arrogant, and continue to train hard. The more you sweat during training, the less you will bleed when you go to the battlefield in the future. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, there are big bucks waiting for you!"

The soldiers below saluted and shouted to Su Zhengyang in unison: "Yes, Commander!"

"Follow the leader and enjoy delicious food and spicy drinks!"

Su Zhengyang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then spoke again: "From today on, our security team will expand its team! We can't always have these hundred or so people. I'll give you three days off. Go back home and bring all the young and strong men from your relatives and fellow villagers to join the security team! Not only will the people you bring get money! For every person you introduce, I'll give you a dollar!"

Su Zhengyang's words immediately made the soldiers excited. Liu Ershun from the third squad said with a smile: "My two cousins ​​were very envious when they saw me bring back two silver dollars last time. If they knew that our security group was still recruiting soldiers and the treatment was the same, they would have come a long time ago."

"We have meat to eat every day here, and we can make as many big white buns as we want. Apart from the hard training, we live a life like a god. When we go back home, everyone will rush to come here. It's so easy to make a lot of money."

"When I get back, I'll bring all my cousins ​​with me. They'll join our security team. It's much better than guarding that little piece of land."

Seeing the soldiers' enthusiasm, Su Zhengyang smiled. In this way, the security team will expand at a very fast speed and the system task can be completed ahead of schedule.

You know, although the guns and ammunition rewarded by the system last time are still sufficient, the food and canned beef are running out. These people are as strong as oxen plowing the fields, the training is intense, and naturally they consume a lot of food.

Su Zhengyang has already prepared to send people to the county to purchase the next batch of grain. After the system task is completed, the reward will definitely be very generous. By then, the problem of grain consumption will be properly solved.

The squad leaders of the eight squads called their soldiers together and gave them a lecture: "Remember, you only have three days to go home. Gather at the training ground at seven in the morning three days later. If anyone dares to be late, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

Wang Hua, the squad leader of the second squad, shouted to his soldiers: "If anyone can bring a few more men back to our squad, I will give him half of my canned beef every time we eat!"

"Disband!"

As the eight squads were disbanded one after another, the soldiers cheered and quickly returned to the barracks. After packing their simple luggage, they began to return home in groups of two or three.
