The racecourse officer quickly sent people into the city to report to the Ministry of War. Lu Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was shocked when he heard this. Damn, is this kid going crazy?
He hurriedly rode over, feeling anxious. When he dismounted, he almost lost his hat, okay?
"Xiao Chen, what are you doing? These horses are reserved for King Fengyang and have been registered for a long time. You can't touch any of them!" He shouted angrily when he saw Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Lu, I see how angry you are, I don't want any of them... I want five thousand horses, not even one less!" Xiao Chen has already picked out the horses and is ready to take them away.
"No, no, come here, drive all the horses back to me, and don't let him take away any of them!" Lu Jing was trembling with anger.
"Here is the king's order flag! I am on duty, who dares to disobey!" Xiao Chen also changed his expression, took out the king's order flag from his arms and raised it high.
"It's not you..." Lu Jing had to kneel down quickly when he saw the words "I am here in person".
"Master Lu, you should know the weight of this flag! You should also know the current situation of our brothers. We have no grievances, but please don't force me to quarrel with you!" Xiao Chen's words were full of emotion. With murderous intent, he is not used to anyone now.
"What do you mean, kid? I don't believe you dare to do anything to me!" Lu Jing just got up and almost fainted when he heard this.
"You are a second-grade official. I can't do anything to you, but the brothers in the racecourse have watched and listened carefully. This is the royal flag given to me by the emperor. It is like the emperor coming in person. If anyone dares to stop me from doing things, Kill without mercy!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, the brothers in the West Factory unsheathed their swords together, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Those war horses smelled the murderous intent, raised their heads and hoofed together, and neighed loudly!
As the saying goes, everyone knows who Eunuch Xiao is and what these guys in Xichang are.
What's more, they still have the emperor's royal flag. If they dare to stop him again, I'm afraid they will really go on a killing spree!
"Mr. Lu, I'm offended. I'll definitely go to my house in person to apologize. There are other trivial matters to discuss, so I'll take my leave!" He jumped on his horse and left in a flash.
Lu Jing was left alone and messy in the wind...
A few days later, Wei Yuntian brought all three thousand soldiers back. Xiao Chen found a school field outside the city and built a temporary military camp with tents to accommodate them.
When Xiao Chen stood on the high platform of the school field to review his troops for the first time, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.
Really old, weak, sick and disabled.
The beards of the older ones have turned gray, and the weak ones cannot stand firmly. The wounded soldiers still have white cloths wrapped around their heads, and they still have crutches on their arms. Forget it, there are many others who are missing arms and legs. Damn it, please?
By the way, these people are all qualified to enter Anjifang!
"Get all the seriously injured and injured patients out of the queue for me!" As soon as Xiao Chen finished speaking, he staggered out and walked out. When his men identified who were behind him, Xiao Chen told them all to get out.
where to? I don't care where you go, I'll give you 20 taels for each person's travel fare, so you can go wherever you like!
They also asked all those who were over forty years old, weighed less than 100 kilograms, and were slightly injured and unable to go to the battlefield to come out. This time, almost half of them came out... There were more than a thousand people in the darkness, holy shit!
We can't drive them all away. If we drive them away, there will be no one left. They will all be incorporated into the logistics force, responsible for meals and escorting grain and grass.
As a result, almost all the rest were deserters, ruffians and soldiers, that is, those who had violated military laws.
There are only more than 1,800 people named...
Each and every one of them stood with no appearance, no one looked good, they smiled playfully and acted casually.
Xiao Chen publicly announced the appointment of Zhuge Xiaosheng as the commander-in-chief of the army and Wei Yuntian as the deputy general. These more than a thousand heads will be handed over to the two of you.
Just practice how you want to practice.
Anyway, I, the boss, will take the first step, otherwise I will be too upset!
Zhuge Xiaosheng first asked Wei Yuntian to select 700 people to form a separate musket battalion. Wei Yuntian was responsible for the training. The remaining 1,000 people were organized into ten hundred-man teams, and ten brothers from the West Factory were appointed as Hundred households, the hundred-man team is divided into ten teams, each team is assigned a captain.
Most of the brothers in Xichang came from the military. Many of them have experienced hundreds of battles. The youngest has also served as a captain and captain, so he has experience in leading troops.
They are the backbone of the army. As long as the skeleton is strong and strong enough, the army will never fall apart.
Appoint a brother who is familiar with military discipline as a military officer, and appoint Liu Mofeng as the military inspector, responsible for supervising military discipline and executing punishments.
Xiao Ye was appointed as the flag officer, in charge of the military flag, and the little princess Duan Ling'er was appointed as the herald. This little girl has outstanding light skills, so she is perfect for this job.
Wen Shanchang was appointed as the military medical officer, and Ye Baiqing was appointed as the military staff officer.
This was all discussed before.
The next step is to ask the Chinese army to read out various military regulations. This is a roll call procedure. After the reading is completed, everyone will be asked three times if they heard clearly. If you are not sure, you can ask now.
"You heard me clearly, these guys are all soldiers, who doesn't know this?"
"It's getting late, isn't it time for dinner?"
"My dear, let's fill our stomachs first. Brothers, please eat more, but if we eat one meal, we will lose one meal."
"I thought I would be able to get out after a few years of hard work, but this time it's better. Our buddy was sentenced to death directly."
"Even if you are punished by death, you still have to travel hundreds of miles to die in Dabeitou. Not to mention that you will not even be able to return home after suffering such a life and death."
"I will disobey you when I get anxious. I will die on both sides. What else can I do?"
All kinds of strange words and complaints arose one after another, and it gradually became noisy, but Zhuge Xiaosheng pretended not to hear it, ordered them to disperse and assemble at the next hour.
"Haha, these guys are all really good soldiers. Each one is more difficult to deal with than the last. Believe it or not, there will definitely be a general who cheats on me later. It seems that I need to prepare more boards, sticks and so on. , so that they can have a taste of my methods!" This guy Liu Mofeng must have sadistic tendencies.
"No need for those things." Zhuge Xiaosheng said calmly.
"General Zhuge, you have never led soldiers since ancient times. Don't even think about telling them about benevolence, justice and morality. I also led soldiers back then, and I know that the moral character of these guys is all slippery. No, Severe punishment will not work." Liu Mofeng said.
This was in the military camp, and Liu Mofeng changed his name to Zhuge Xiaosheng to show the strict military discipline.
"Let's go, follow me on a tour and get a feel for their situation." Zhuge Xiaosheng was noncommittal and started to inspect the military camp with Liu Mofeng.
Xiao Chen left the military camp and went straight to the household department full of anger to ask Chen Wenqi for military pay.
"Master Xiao, your troops have just been assembled, and you haven't set out yet. Do you want money?" Chen Wenqi knew what Xiao Chen meant as soon as he saw him.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, food and grass go first! I not only want military pay, but also food and grass!" Xiao Chen said.
He is here to fight and litigate, not to make friends.
