[Three Kingdoms] Xinghan

Until the fourth watch, Zhao Yun and the three finally settled the recruited Xiangyong.

At five o'clock, they returned to Caoyun Garden.

Ling Han originally wanted to wait for them to come back.

As a result, he was too tired in the saltworks during the day, and he dozed off after sitting on the chair for a while, and went back to his room to rest under Yang Zhen's persuasion.

The next day, Ling Han was woken up by the crowing of a cock.

Thinking about recruiting soldiers, he yawned and hurriedly put on his clothes.

In the main room.

Yang Zhen and Pei Yuanshao were arguing fiercely with red faces, probably because they had great differences on how to train soldiers.After all, one of the two used to be a palace guard, and the other was the leader of a Yellow Turban thief.

After Gao Lan tried to dissuade him but failed, he unknowingly joined the dispute in principle.Obviously, the concept of military training in a certain county is completely different from the above two.

Zhao Yun, on the other hand, seemed to stay out of the matter, with a cold expression on his face - not because the matter had nothing to do with him, but because there seemed to be a few big characters written on his face: It's useless for you to fight.

However, at this moment, these are not important to Ling Han.

What's important is that the energy of these four people who haven't slept all night is better than the other!

Yang Zhen and Pei Yuanshao's quarrel could be heard from far away, obviously full of energy; Gao Lan came from behind, and the voice of one person overwhelmed the two of them.

As for Zhao Yun.

On the faces of the other three, a bit of tiredness could still be seen, but Zhao Yun's face could not be seen at all, as if he had slept for four hours last night.

In contrast——

"..." Ling Han couldn't hold back and yawned again, because he didn't sleep very well last night.

Anger is anger, things should be done well.

Ling Han took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve: "You don't need to fight, no one else's way. How to train soldiers, I have already planned."

Yang Zhen: "..."

Gao Lan: "..."

Pei Yuanshao: "..."

Looking at the devastated faces of each one, Ling Han snorted lightly.

As a history student who is very interested in ancient military affairs, it is impossible to have no understanding of modern military affairs at all.

A few days ago, when he was writing the cloth related to salt making, he recalled the military training system in the 21st century, and decided to apply it to the brave men who were about to be recruited.

Make a comeback here!

However, when his eyes fell on Zhao Yun, Ling Han discovered that the other party seemed to have expected it.

I was not so happy again.

But after thinking about it, the senior brother is much more considerate and considerate than these three big bosses, he won't make people angry, and his appearance is even more pleasing to the eye, so he is a little happier.

"Okay, let's get back to business." Ling Han cleared his cough, the quarrel was over, and he had to get down to business, and he began to explain: "The [-] township warriors recruited yesterday. Yang Zhen, Pei Yuanshao, Gao Lan, Obey the order!"

The three clasped their fists together and said, "Yes!"

Ling Han said: "You each lead 500 people, and in the next few days, train them according to my requirements. I will explain the details of the training later."

"Yes!"

Ling Han said again: "Zhao Yun."

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"

"You take the remaining 1000 people and train them according to my requirements."

"..."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ling Han was a little confused, so: "What's wrong?"

Gao Lan asked strangely: "Your Highness, why do we all lead 500 people, and Brother Shan Shanzilong leads 1000 people?"

These days, in private, Ling Han never showed his majesty to them, so Gao Lan gradually became more courageous and asked.

"Hmm." Ling Han blushed for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Since crossing, I can be regarded as going smoothly, and I can always save the day when I encounter danger.

I didn't expect to be asked like this.

The distribution method is completely subconscious behavior.Zhao Yun's reputation was not at the same level as other people's in history, so he naturally thought that Zhao Yun should lead more people.

But right now, I can't take this as an example.

Yang Zhen was dissatisfied and said: "Your Highness has his own reasons for doing things, why do you have so many questions?"

This rhetoric obviously cannot be approved by Gao Lan.

In fact, Yang Zhen himself is the same, but he doesn't want to embarrass His Highness.

At this time, Zhao Yun said: "Men should speak with their fists. Yun's martial arts are the strongest, and he should lead the most people. If you brothers are not convinced, let's go together."

"!!" It was tolerable or unbearable. After hearing this, even Yang Zhen and Pei Yuanshao, who had been abused by Zhao Yun, expressed dissatisfaction, let alone Gao Lan.

No one thought about the reason for Ling Han's assignment anymore, and the battle was imminent.

Two 10 minutes later.

Gao Lan rubbed his bruised chin: "Brother Zilong, today I have completely convinced you!"

Yang Zhen bared his teeth: "Your Highness, Your Majesty..."

Ling Han waved his hand and couldn't bear to look directly: "Go quickly."

After the three injured people left.

Ling Han complained: "It's just a sparring session, it's a bit heavy for senior brother to start."

He looked at Zhao Yun, the other's sweat slipped from his chin, and flowed into his clothes along his slightly protruding Adam's apple.After practicing martial arts for many years, he has a good figure, and the muscular muscles under the thin shirt are faintly visible due to the sweat soaking the clothes.

Ling Han felt a burst of envy in his heart, he turned his gaze away from him, paused and said: "However, Senior Brother's skills are really getting better and better, it's really admirable."

Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "Senior brother is so smart. If you don't have some skills, how can you be your senior brother?"

Ling Han was stunned, inexplicably remembering something.

After arriving in Xuzhou, Zhao Yun has been practicing martial arts almost every day, and he has never been free.

Zhao Yun said again: "Brother, go take a shower and change clothes first."

Ling Han nodded dully.

He took out the piece of cloth and combed for a while how to explain it.

The place of military training.

This was originally a piece of commercial land owned by the Mi family.After Ling Han came to Xuzhou, Mi Fang asked the housekeeper to lead a group of servants to rebuild it day and night, and finally it became a large-scale training ground.

"Your Highness, the two thousand and five white red cloth strips you requested have been ordered."

Mi Fang took four servants and carried two big boxes.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Ling Han ordered Zhao Yun, Yang Zhen and the others to gather all the recruited Xiangyong, and tie red cloth strips on each of their left arms.

In his training plan, the soldiers must first learn the most basic queue orders.

It's also pretty much one of the basic things modern recruits learn when they come into camp.

Look left and right, take a break and stand at attention, turn left and right, and take a step forward.

Commands that seem meaningless are relatively simple to train, but in actual combat, they are not insignificant at all.

After training, Zhao Yun immediately realized that these movements can help soldiers quickly complete the formation change.

Gao Lan quickly thought of the time he fought the Black Mountain Army before.At that time, after the armored soldiers in the Montenegrin Army left the battlefield, they were in the front row, the auxiliary soldiers who helped deliver goods, and the combat effectiveness of the auxiliary soldiers was basically zero.There was great confusion when the unarmored soldiers in the rear tried to switch places with the auxiliary soldiers in the front.

The function of the red cloth strips is to help soldiers distinguish between left and right.

In addition, Ling Han also plans to introduce a military rank system.Although he was the leader of the Black Mountain Army that time, according to his expectations, Changshan County probably suffered more than half of the casualties.

In hindsight, the main reason why the [-] army was in such chaos was that the leader was killed and the positions of the generals were confused.

All the soldiers only recognize the generals who lead them. Once they can't find a higher-level position, these soldiers will be like headless chickens, and it will be difficult to maintain their combat effectiveness.

The advantage of military rank is that when there is chaos in the army, all soldiers need to unconditionally obey the highest rank nearby, and the higher rank is responsible for managing all the people around him who are lower than him.

In this way, order can be restored in the fastest possible time.

However, Ling Han hasn't figured out what kind of logos to use for different military ranks yet.There are still few soldiers now, so there is no rush.

Physical training is essential in military training.

Ling Han gave several modern training methods: five-kilometer long-distance running, [-]-meter sprint, and standing long jump.

In addition, traditional skills such as archery, knives and guns are also necessary.

Ordinary troops train every five days, while Ling Han requires daily training.

Only in this way can a group of recruits be quickly grown into qualified fighters.

Not a single soldier would protest this training.On the contrary, they can only be very happy.

The usual practice of military training is to distribute extra rations, and after the military training is over, they can fully rest and do not need to do anything.

This means that a large amount of gold and silver food and grass are consumed every day.

Ling Han had already brought supplies for dozens of horse-drawn carriages from Changshan, and in Donghai County, he had Mi's sponsorship, and he would have business as his backing in the future, so he didn't think he would be short of money.

He hoped to catch up with Sun Jian before he was attacked, train his soldiers well, save Sun Jian, and get this great favor.

And after Ling Han left the training ground.

During the break, Pei Yuanshao said with emotion: "Your Highness is worthy of being His Highness, the royal method is different."

As he said that, he couldn't help but glanced at a certain palace guard, his eyes seemed to say: Someone brazenly claims to be the best among the palace guards, but he doesn't even know this, and he used that rubbish method to fool us in the morning, hehe.

Yang Zhen seemed to know what Pei Yuanshao was thinking, and stared back unwillingly: a joke!How could there be such a method in the palace, if only I would cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot for you.A hillbilly is a hillbilly, I really thought there was everything in the palace.Are glass beads and strange ways of making salt also found in the palace?Naturally, only His Highness knows these methods.

As for why His Highness knew, it was because His Highness was favored by the destiny, and he was blessed with the luck of the Han Dynasty, so it is not surprising that he was born knowing it.

There is no need to tell these ordinary people these words.

This is a battle without gunpowder, not even a voice.

On the side, Zhao Yun said thoughtfully: "Taozhou Mu once promised to provide us with food and grass for sergeant training. I haven't seen it yet."

Pei Yuanshao grinned and said, "We've just recruited people, isn't it time yet?"

Yang Zhen also remembered this, and his expression immediately became serious: "No! I remember what Master Zhou said at the time, that the grain and grass would be delivered before the recruitment of Xiangyong."

After Ling Han returned to Caoyun Garden.

Mi Fang also said: "His Royal Highness, the food and grass promised by Master State Shepherd should have arrived long ago, but the person in charge of transporting the food has not delivered it."

In ancient times, grain and grass were transported late, but Ling Han felt that Mi Fang seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "Who is responsible for transporting grain?"

Mi Fang read out a name: "Zuo Rong."

Ruo Rong?Ling Han can't remember such a name at all, or this person is not famous in history.

Ling Han saw that he was hesitant to speak, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mi Fang then said: "Your Highness, this person has disrespected the royal family in his remarks before."

Disrespect to the royal family?

Ling Han thought in his heart, isn't this quite normal? How many scholars were persecuted by the disaster of the party in the past, it is only natural for these scholars and their families to be dissatisfied.

I am not short of food.It's just that Tao Qian had good intentions at the beginning, and it was inconvenient to shirk, so he agreed.

If the guy named Ruo Rong stopped there, to be honest, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.Once there is a big trouble, there may be many people who will be unlucky.

His Highness was not angry, which was obviously beyond Mi Fang's expectations.

He was wondering if he should continue to say something, Ling Han frowned and asked: "Do you have a problem with Ruo Rong?"

"Your Highness is clearly aware!" Mi Fang was startled, and quickly knelt down: "Cao Min did have some conflicts with that Ruo Rong, but it is definitely not a festival, and he has no guts to use His Highness's hands to avenge his personal revenge."

"Okay, get up and talk." Ling Han asked: "What happened to him?"

Mi Fang thought for a moment, then clasped her fists and said: "Your Highness, you have been here for a long time, you are busy every day, and you have never visited the scenery of the East China Sea. Why don't you let the grass-roots lead the way and walk around?"

It seems that things are not that simple, Ling Han nodded slightly: "Okay."

Soon, Ling Han knew why Mi Fang brought him out.

Before him was a desolate scene.Countless dilapidated houses, countless sallow and emaciated children, countless dying men and women.

Be it Changshan or Donghai, they are all considered rich places.

It's not that Ling Han has never seen people living in misery, but this is the first time he has seen such a devastated scene.

Feeling a throbbing pain in his heart, Ling Han asked: "What's going on?"

Mi Fang said slowly: "Before the East China Sea was flooded, all the families in the south suffered huge losses. After Zhou Mu learned about this, he originally allocated food and supplies from the three counties of Guangling, Pengcheng, and Xiapi, but the person in charge Ruo Rong, who supervised the work of transporting grain, was detained in full. So... that's how it was."

Ling Han said: "Why didn't you report this matter to Tao Qian?"

"Your Highness doesn't know something." Mi Fang sighed: "The younger sister of Ruo Rong is the prince's concubine. Master Zhou Mu came to have a son, but the son's health is very bad, and he has been doted on by adults since he was a child. If the Lord has reported this matter, Lord Zhou Shepherd will only remove Ruo Rong from his official position, and he will make a comeback sooner or later. So..."

"Okay, this king knows." Ling Han interrupted Mi Fang lightly.

It was ordinary people who suffered, and the officials had nothing to lose. Naturally, no one wanted to offend the celebrity in front of Tao Qian for this.

The Mi clan, which has a deep foundation in the East China Sea, could have used its own wealth to help these victims, but this is undoubtedly a provocation to Ruo Rong.Even, the Mi family itself has a gap with the Xuzhou gentry, and this kind of behavior is likely to be regarded by some gentry as buying people's hearts.

They are businessmen at heart and obviously unwilling to take such risks.

"Your Highness, forgive me." Mi Fang noticed that Ling Han was full of pity for these people, and immediately knelt down and explained: "The Mi family has been sending people to open a shed at a fixed time to distribute porridge. Although these people are living a bit hard, they should not be hungry dead."

"I don't blame you." Ling Han said: "The Mi family was born as a merchant, so I have the helplessness of merchants."

"Thank you for your forgiveness. When the grassroots returned, they immediately sent people to allocate food and clothing to rescue these people."

Ling Han nodded, and asked again: "That guy named Ruo Rong, what does he need so much food for? Is he secretly recruiting soldiers?"

"I don't have the guts." After a pause, Mi Fang's expression became strange: "The purpose of withholding food is to build a temple. He is a devout Buddhist."

Ling Han: "?"

Ruo Rong is Tao Qian's confidant, and has a relationship with his sister.It would be inappropriate to ask Tao Qian to deal with the other party directly if he wrote a letter.

Why don't you think of a way to invite him over, seeing is believing.

Thinking about this, Ling Han said: "This king already understands the situation here, and this king will make Ruo Rong pay the price."

"Your Highness is wise."

Mi Fang silently got up and followed Ling Han, but her mind was full of reveries.

Disrespect to the royal family can be forgiven, but fish and meat people are unforgivable crimes.

Does His Highness have such a benevolent heart?
