In May, the spring plowing has ended. Usually at this time, strong laborers who have leisure time will go to nearby counties and towns to do part-time jobs.Now, it is difficult to do business in shops. Although officials and wealthy households do not need to shrink their clothing and diet like ordinary people, non-essential jobs have also been cancelled. Temporary work has suddenly been reduced a lot, and labor has really started to have a surplus.

Ji Xuanhe thought about the situation he might encounter in the future. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Besides, before the grassland tribes came to Xilin County, many villagers had a few months of simple training. It will be more labor-saving.The guards took Ji Xuanhe's warrant and rushed to the villages, asking each village to organize its own guards.If they don't listen to themselves, forget what Ji Xuanhe conveyed, and don't complain about him when they encounter problems in the future.

In addition, Ji Xuanhe decided to form a guard team by himself.Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, only when one's own strength is stronger, the chance of survival will be greater.He is not alone now, he still has to think about Shao Yunchen, Old Master Zhen and Ji's servants.Besides, the second uncle and Shao Yunchen's family are still under the rule of Emperor Wenchang, and they don't know what their situation is now. The stronger he is, the more people he can save.

It is impossible for Ji Xuanhe to pull up a guard team of a thousand people by himself. Doing so is tantamount to offending King An, and he can't hide it if he wants to.If he is really so white-eyed, his good days will come to an end.

If you can't do this directly, then think of something else.No matter how poor Xilin County is, there should be no shortage of officials and wealthy households, and naturally there are many family members.Ji Xuanhe didn't think about rebelling, so it's easy for each family to send out several hundred people.These people still go to their own families, they just train in a unified way, act in a unified way, and return when the war is over.

Ji Xuanhe can let the people below be responsible for other things, but Ji Xuanhe must take care of this matter, he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others.Ji Xuanhe is not a soldier, but he is not jerky at leading the team. Don't forget, Ji Xuanhe fought in the apocalypse, and even personally led a hunting team of ten people, so he has a lot of means.If it weren't for his lack of ambition, with his ability and the writing system in his hands, he could lead a more powerful life.

Since Ji Xuanhe came to Jinchao, he originally wanted to live a peaceful life, who would have to rack his brains to plan for his own family due to accidents.

The guards were personally selected by Ji Xuanhe, and Zhou Butou and some veterans who had been disarmed and returned to the fields were on the side to assist.The guards were mainly composed of servants of officials and wealthy households, and the rest were made up by ordinary people, finally making up a total of 500 people.Most people are unwilling to do things that are not beneficial, let alone shrewd officials and wealthy households.They are willing to help, and the county government has given enough benefits.These benefits do not require real money, but timely inside information and appropriate conveniences are enough.

For ordinary people, real food is the best return.Nowadays, there are many laborers who are idle at home, and one meal a day is enough to select strong young people.

The county government officers were divided into two teams, one patrolling and the other training on the school grounds.The school grounds of the county government are very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.Ji Xuanhe organized the guards into five brigades, each with ten sub-teams, and set up a small team leader and a big team leader.The servants of officials and wealthy households can serve as small captains, and according to the number of people, they can occupy one-tenth of the corresponding number of small captains.Families with less than ten people gather enough ten people to choose one person, and the excess part is not counted, and the remaining team leaders will be acted by guards.

As for the captain, there are only five places in total, Ji Xuan and himself occupy one, and the remaining four, Zhou Butou counts as one, and Xia Xiancheng is also okay, there are two places left to be chosen carefully.This is not handling county affairs, and not everyone is competent. Before there is no suitable candidate, the remaining two brigades without a brigade leader will be temporarily taken over by Ji Xuanhe.After getting familiar with it, choose from the guards or the masters of each family.

The formation of the guard team went smoothly. The cavalry team led by Ji Xuanhe had the most cavalry, accounting for half of the total number of troops. The other four brigades had much fewer horses, each with only about thirty horses.Thanks to being in Xilin County, being close to the border has many disadvantages, but also many advantages. If it is replaced by the affluent Jiangnan area, it is not easy to privately obtain a large number of horses that can go to the battlefield.

Xilin County has its own horse farm. Although the horse farm is not big, it is no problem to provide dozens of war horses.Of course, it is impossible for one family to pay for these war horses. If the owner of a family owns the war horses, that family will pay the money. Whoever pays will naturally have these war horses. There is nothing to say.The guards are there to protect Xilin County, and the owner of the racecourse has to do his part too. The price is not high, and he makes money, but not much.

Not everyone in the guard rides war horses, half of them are ordinary good horses provided by the big households. The horses raised in the racecourse are mainly for the soldiers. The quality of war horses varies from good to bad. There are good horses and bad horses.Of course, these so-called bad horses are better than ordinary good horses, otherwise there is no need for the guards to buy them.

The members of the guard team are not chosen randomly, without foundation, it is too time-consuming to practice from scratch.There is a war going on outside right now, and time is precious, and we cannot afford to waste it.Not to mention being tall and burly, at least one has to be strong and well-proportioned, and one must also know some rough martial arts.It is not difficult for big families to provide such people.But any big family has to maintain a group of nursing homes no matter what, and it is not a problem to take a few out of them.

It's just that the number of guards is limited, and it's impossible for every member of the guard to have the same skills as the guards.Among them, the nursing home only accounts for nearly half of the total number of guards, and the other half can only find strong labor to make up the number.In the same way, even if it is not a nursing home, you still need to know at least simple martial arts, it can be archery, or you can be good at some other weapons.

Ji Xuanhe himself knows how to make bows and arrows. He has been in Jinchao for so many years, and the performance of the bows and arrows he makes now is slightly better than the similar hunting bows he made back then. It is not far from the standard bows and arrows in the army. Even better.As long as you master the skills, making bows and arrows is not difficult. The troublesome part is the pre-process of making bows and arrows.High-quality wooden bowstrings or even iron tires are not so easy to find, and the preparation time is not short. It is impossible to equip the entire guard with a bow in a short time.Only a batch of bows can be produced to equip a group of guards, and other guards without bows can temporarily practice ready-made weapons such as knives and guns.

Not only bows, but also other weapons cannot be equipped with escorts on a large scale at once.Because of this, the guards possessed all kinds of weapons, which made people feel like a bunch of mobs.Ji Xuanhe frowned, thinking that this is not acceptable, the guard should look like a guard, it can't be compared with regular soldiers, it can't be a miscellaneous army anyway.

There are many mountains and forests near Xilin County, and there will be no shortage of wood if there is anything missing. A large number of unified good soldiers will be out of place for a while. It is not a problem for each to be equipped with a wooden stick, spear or hunting bow.These are just transitional equipment, so you don't need to pay so much attention to performance, just cut the appropriate wood, and it can be used after a little treatment. When the new weapon is manufactured, it will be replaced uniformly.

Fortunately, the stick and spear, the casually made hunting bow has a very short service life, and it is likely to break down in a short time, and the range accuracy can only be so-so.Ji Xuanhe didn't care. Inferior bows and arrows are consumables. They can be used to train archery at ordinary times. If they break, they can be replaced immediately. No one will feel sorry for the weapons that don't cost money, no matter how much they use.

Not everyone in the guard knows how to ride a horse. Although there are not enough horses right now, everyone must master basic riding skills. Maybe this skill will save their lives when the time comes.Everyone understands this truth, and no one objected when Ji Xuanhe issued this order.Especially those ordinary people, there are very few people who know how to ride, and they can't wait for this opportunity, and they will not object.

Ji Xuanhe had been the county magistrate in Xilin County for more than three years. The county government originally had a meager dozen of horses, but now it has expanded to dozens of horses.It costs a lot of money to buy a horse, and it is not easy to raise a horse.Thanks to the support of Xishan Zhuangzi, otherwise the county government would not be able to afford the annual fodder for the horses.

Considering the issue of money, the horses purchased by the county government are mixed with good horses and ordinary horses, otherwise the county government cannot afford such a large amount of consumption.The money and food provided by Xishan Zhuangzi can be used for many purposes, and it is impossible to use all of them to buy good horses.The horses for the county government were also purchased one after another in three years according to the situation.

The guards on patrol each rode one, and the rest of the mounts were lent to the guards for riding training. In addition to the horses temporarily borrowed from various wealthy households, a total of [-] or [-] horses were collected. The guards only needed to divide them into two groups. One round of training will be completed.

Ji Xuanhe is not a stingy person. The other officials of the county government considered the guards selected from civilians, and their family backgrounds are very average, even poor. The meals provided at noon are not to mention how good they are. Those who can't make it will be shared equally by the civilian guards, and they will be allowed to take them home after the training.The guards have a lot of training, how can they protect the people of Xilin County when they are hungry?

The guards were well trained, and soon the first batch of weapons were released. Those with excellent training performance were given priority in equipment, and the others had nothing to say.If you want to be the first to have excellent weapons, then try to improve yourself. Whoever has outstanding abilities can get them in advance. I have them but you don’t. This feeling of being superior is hard to refuse.

Although the guards are in charge of Ji Xuanhe, they are not owned by him personally. It is impossible for them to obey him completely.The composition of the guards determines the responsibilities of the guards, and it is not advisable for anyone to use them for profit.

Ji Xuanhe took this into consideration when he formed the escort team.After discussing with Shao Yunchen, he picked and picked out the idle staff of Ji's family because the shop was affected by the war, and selected strong men and women, and trained them separately. The men were usually in charge of Shao Yunchen, Ji Xuanhe was in charge, and the women were in charge. The team is led by Qiushuang and Zhuyi in turn, with Shao Yunchen in charge.

The amount of training for men is obviously increased, and the amount of training for women is much smaller. It is more about learning how to obtain information quietly and unobtrusively.
