It was only a few days after the decree was issued that the initial results were evident. Steward Wu went to the neighboring county to purchase oxen, rice seeds and other items, while Zhang Fu called on the refugees, distributed farm tools and organized everyone to open up wasteland and cultivate the fields.
In less than half a month, more than 1,500 acres of farmland had been reclaimed.
With these fields, the people had hope for a better life.
A few days had passed, and there was still no news in the county. Could it be that Hua Tuo really persuaded the governor to avoid investigation? However, Zhang Chen was worried until the letter of appointment arrived.
If they really had to fight, could he handle it?
Forget it, since I have nothing to do today, I might as well go and see how Gao Shun recruited soldiers.
Zhang Chen made up his mind and left the county government office.
The military camp was located in the south of the city. It was originally the stationing place of the government troops when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled last year. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled, the government troops withdrew and the place became deserted. But everything is ready, including the training ground and the camp.
Gao Shun ordered his men to make some simple repairs and used it as the place for the county soldiers to be stationed.
Zhang Chen came to the gate and heard a neat shout of killing from the camp from afar. The shouts were full of killing and solemnity.
At a glance, hundreds of soldiers were training intensively. Gao Shun stood with his hands behind his back, his face stern and intimidating without anger.
Zhang Chen could not help but open the "Eye of Insight" and observe carefully.
[Name: Zhang Xiaoyi]
[Possessing entries: Extraordinary physical strength (blue), Brave (blue)]
[Name: Zhou Yong]
[Possessing entries: Strong and powerful (green), Good at fighting (blue)]
...
Zhang Chen looked at it and found that each soldier had one or two green or blue entries!
It seems that these soldiers were carefully selected. Although there are not many people, each of them is strong and should not be underestimated!
Looking at their movements, they are neat and orderly, and they are very imposing!
As expected of a good general, he has trained the army so strictly in just half a month!
At this time, Gao Shun also saw Zhang Chen standing outside the gate, and immediately raised his hand, clenched his fist, and ordered: "Stop!"
All the soldiers stopped at the same time, and no one disobeyed.
Zhang Chen stepped into the gate, Gao Shun came to him, bowed and said: "I see you, my lord."
Zhang Chen patted Gao Shun on the shoulder and smiled: "County Lieutenant Gao is really good at leading troops. In just a few days, he has achieved such results!"
"My lord, please forgive me. Time is short. I have only rectified the army and have not trained for fighting." Gao Shun said to the soldiers: "Why don't you pay your respects to the county magistrate!"
"Hello, my lord!!!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound was deafening.
"Good!" Zhang Chen said happily, "You all come to join the army to protect the people. The safety of Guangping in the future depends on you!"
"I am willing to die for you! Defend my city and protect my people!"
Looking at the high morale of the soldiers, Zhang Chen was very pleased and immediately asked Gao Shun: "How many soldiers have you recruited this time?"
Gao Shun said: "There are 700 people in the whole camp."
Seven hundred? Seven hundred trap formations! It is indeed the "Trap Formation"!
"If these 700 soldiers face 3,000 county soldiers, what are their chances of winning?"
Gao Shun smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Although there are only 700 soldiers, they are carefully selected. As long as they are trained diligently, they will be able to defeat ten enemies with one, no problem!"
"I feel relieved with your words!" Zhang Chen said, "If you have any difficulties, you can report to me. The county soldiers are the top priority. Without soldiers, the people will not be able to live and work in peace."
"Don't worry, my lord, I understand." Gao Shun said, "But there is one thing. Although the soldiers have been recruited, they lack weapons and armor. Without these, they will only be scattered soldiers and it will be difficult to form combat power."
After hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn't help but think secretly.
Weapons and armor? Oh, it's another big expense!
There is no news in the county now. I am still not in a legitimate position as the county magistrate. It is impossible to report to the court and apply for armaments. I have to pay for this money out of my own pocket!
There is no other way, so I have to let Uncle Wu down and continue to work hard to make money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen said in a deep voice: "Armament is a big deal and cannot be delayed. You should draw up a list as soon as possible. Money is not a problem."
As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, Gao Shun hurriedly took out a folded paper from his arms and handed it over.
"My lord, the list has been drawn up long ago. Take a look..."
"Ahem... Well, no problem, no problem..."
Zhang Chen took the paper and opened it, but he couldn't help but roll his eyes in fear.
A steel sword: 300 coins.
A set of armor: 500 coins.
A longbow: 100 coins.
A round shield: 200 coins.
Fifty arrows: 250 coins.
Total: 1250 coins.
One thousandSurplus money! This is just one person's armament. The whole camp has 700 people, so the total is 875,000 coins!
When I watched the Three Kingdoms before, I only knew that the princes had hundreds of thousands of troops, but I didn't expect that raising these troops would be so expensive!
It seems that I have to think of more ways to make money in the future!
Fortunately, the property of Zhao Xiong and others was confiscated not long ago. Now the treasury is still full, and he can still afford these armaments.
"Go to the treasury to withdraw according to this list."
Gao Shun was overjoyed when he heard it, and said: "My lord, don't worry, with this armament, these 700 soldiers will surely become an elite division!"
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" After Zhang Chen said this, he turned around and bowed to the soldiers: "The safety of a county depends on you gentlemen. Zifan is here, thank you in advance!"
The soldiers returned the greeting together. Zhang Chen asked Gao Shun to continue to lead the training, and he went out of the gate.
A few days later, when Zhang Chen came to the military camp again, he was shocked.
The soldiers were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and their faces were full of murderous aura, as if they could feel the strong murderous aura from a long distance.
Gao Shun gave an order, and the soldiers began to practice. With shouts, they swung their swords, raised their shields, chopped, and thrust, all in one go. Zhang Chen watched from the side, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
At this time, Zhang Chen looked around again, but found that every soldier had an extra entry.
[Elite of the Formation (Purple)]: As a member of the Formation, "Go forward bravely and fearlessly" is your purpose. (When trapped in the enemy's formation, the attack power and defense power are greatly improved. Arms: Infantry)
What a powerful attribute!
Zhang Chen couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. No wonder the "Formation" charged into the enemy's formation and was invincible. It turned out that this entry played a role!
"My lord, the army is well trained, and I have fulfilled my mission." Gao Shun said, "Now these soldiers can obey orders and march in unison. The only thing they lack is experience in facing the enemy. But I am confident that these soldiers will shine on the battlefield, guard my city, and protect my people!"
"Great! Great!" Zhang Chen said excitedly, "Gao Shun, you really didn't let me down! Each move is so powerful! Especially the shield formation just now, even the cavalry may find it difficult to break through!"
"My lord is right, The infantry has always been cavalry, so it is a subordinate to study this shield. Eight hundred first ascended to the dead, I watched these nails, and it was not weaker than him. It was better to call the "trapped camp", how about it? " ‘Tragging’!
