Yun Chao and the others didn't even finish breakfast before they were dragged to the inspection department by Manager He.
As a result, it took a full half an hour for Inspector He to come out, which made several villages stare in anger. If they had known it would take so long, why don't they come back after they have eaten?
When Inspector He came up, he first talked about some big principles, such as protecting the home and the country and benefiting the village.
After talking for half an hour, we got to the point.
I kept rambling for a long time, but in fact I just said: I won’t take any action today, let’s practice together for a day.
Upon hearing this, they still had to practice, and the faces of several village chiefs were uglier than bitter gourds.
Their village is not much better than Wolong Village, and the villagers are also very poor. Being able to carry three days of dry food with them is already the limit of each household.
If we wait a few more days, the village heroes will be hungry.
In fact, several village leaders didn't care whether Mudlegzi would be hungry, but they were in trouble if they ran out of food while doing corvee work.
In order to complete the task, once the food runs out, they village leaders have to pay for their own money to feed their subordinates!
Inspector He didn't care what the village leaders thought, he just served tea to see off the guests.
Yun Chao returned to his residence and gathered the Xiang Yong together to prepare for training outside the town.
Before setting off, Yun Chao left two Xiang Yong from the baggage team to look after the house. There was no need to bring vehicles and baggage with them during the drill. No one was watching and they could easily be stolen.
Outside town.
As soon as Xiang Yong from Wolong Village appeared, there was a burst of laughter.
"Haha, are the people from Wolong Village just here to make fun of you? Why are they carrying all bamboo?"
"I saw them carrying bamboo yesterday. I thought they were using it to build tents, but it turned out they were using it to fight!"
"Gaga, the village chief of Wolong Village didn't come. A young man came. It seems that the old man was right. He has no hair on his lips and can't do his job well!"
"..."
Not only other Xiangyong, but even Inspector He shook his head when he saw it.
I know that your Wolong Village is poor, but you can't do this. Carrying a bunch of bamboo poles into battle, do you want to laugh the bandits to death?
Yun Chao doesn't care at all, just laugh, you will know who is really funny when you get to the battlefield.
Yun Chao observed it and found that the economic conditions of the other villages were not much better than Wolong Village.
Most of the Xiangyong held farm tools such as hoes. Less than one-third of them actually had weapons, and most of them had tattered knives and guns. At first glance, they looked like a bunch of stragglers, and even They don't even count as stragglers, they're just a bunch of rabble.
Fortunately, Yun Chao found a group of decent soldiers, otherwise he would have really considered running away.
Note, they are soldiers, not soldiers.
As a patrol inspector, Inspector He not only has intimidating guards, but also regular soldiers. These people are officially called archers.
The archers mentioned here are not archers. They are the grassroots forces responsible for local security. They are equivalent to patrols or armed police in later generations, commonly known as local soldiers.
Yun Chao took a rough look and found that there were about a hundred soldiers in He Patrol.
In addition, two hundred township warriors from Sanshui Town were also summoned.
In other words, He Inspector He's subordinates alone have 300 armed units.
Including the 100 village warriors from each of the five villages, the number of troops used by He Inspector this time actually reached 800!
Yun Chao once captured a spy of the Black Pine Ridge bandit, and knew that the number of the other party was not large, only a few dozen, less than a hundred.
Eight hundred versus dozens, if not counting combat effectiveness, seems to have a considerable advantage.
Of course, after such a long time, if the bandits in Black Pine Ridge gain a firm foothold, they will probably recruit more troops. It is not impossible that their number will increase several times.
Inspector He was not useless. He still had two brushes. He stood on a high earth platform with several archers standing beside him, giving orders with flags of different colors.
There are a total of six colors of colorful flags, five of which correspond to Yunchao's five villages, and the remaining one is used to direct He's inspection troops.
Regardless of others, Yun Chao remembers that the color corresponding to his Wolong Village is blue. If the archer holding the flag points the blue flag forward, it means that the warriors of Wolong Village will move forward. If it points to the left, it means left... …
There is also a drum and a gong. When the drum is sounded, the entire army advances; if the gong is beaten, the entire army retreats.
The command method is very simple, Yun Chao knows it at a glance.
However, Yun Chao was in trouble if he wanted to carry out He's inspection orders well.
If there were only twenty boys he trained, it would not be difficult to do this.
But the new villagers are not good at it, and their command is not good at all.
These guys couldn't even line up, let alone move forward, backward, left or right, they were literally dying!
That's it, Shitou trained for a long time yesterday. If he didn't train at all, I'm afraid it would have been a mess!
Looking at the Xiangyong in other villages, the situation is not much better than that in Wolong Village, or even worse.
Only the soldiers who inspected He were somewhat decent, but they were just barely in a mess, not necessarily how neat they were.
As for the Xiangyong in Sanshui Town, they are similar to the Xiangyong in the villages below, and are infinitely closer to a mob.
In Yun Chao's view, the students who participated in military training in later schools were stronger than the armed forces of the Dawu Dynasty.
If this goes on the battlefield, you can imagine how much combat effectiveness it can exert!
Looking at He Inspector, it seemed that he had known this would be the case for a long time. There was no change in the expression on his face. No matter how chaotic the people below were, they still followed his instructions in a strict manner.
It only took two hours of training, and before they could achieve anything impressive, He Xunjian announced that the joint training was over and asked everyone to practice on their own.
As soon as Inspector He left, the heroes from several villages immediately came to sit down and sat down in a large area!
There is no way, the people's physical strength is too weak, and some families are in such difficulty that they are not willing to eat in the morning, and everyone is so hungry that their eyes turn blue. Not to mention continuing to train, it is good to be able to stand!
Xiangyong from Sanshui Town was not much better, he still sat down in a large area.
Although the average living standard of the residents in the town is better than that of the mud-legged people in the village, their living standards are limited.
What's more, you can use money to find someone to replace the corvee, but it is impossible for a slightly wealthy family to participate in the rural service in person.
Compared with other Xiangyong, the Xiangyong in Wolong Village is unique, not even one can sit down.
In the biting cold wind, the hundreds of men in Wolong Village remained motionless, which brought great shock to other villagers!
This shows Yun Chao's brilliance. He kept his men well-fed for two days in a row. His physical strength was stronger than other warriors in the countryside, and he would not lose strength after training for two hours.
Shitou was indeed Yun Chao's most valued subordinate. Without Yun Chao's words, he seized the opportunity and started to boost morale: "Look, everyone, which village can compare to us? We asked you to train yesterday, and you still complained. Now I know Right? You can tell yourself, is the training useful?"
