After reading the silk letter sent by Lu Mu several times, Zhang Qi put it away.
Putting down the silk letter, Zhang Qi once again read the simple books. This volume is called "Mencius" and can be read as half a history book. After one year in this world, Zhang Qi has become accustomed to ancient texts and does not feel bored when reading them.
Holding the bamboo slips, Zhang Qi seemed to have returned to that era for a moment, witnessing the rise and fall of various countries with 'Mencius'.
I don't know how long it took, but the curtain of the king's tent was opened again, and Qinghua came back. Zhang Qi raised his eyes, and Qinghua put Zhang Qi's seal on it with both hands.
"Your Majesty, the things you told me have been arranged."
"Weiwang sent ten groups of 60 people to the big curtain, and the order letter sent to Xianbei was also rushed and will be delivered within two days."
Zhang Qi nodded, hummed, and then put down the brief book.
"How's the situation with the new recruits? Wang Li and Ying's recruitment went smoothly."
"Sisters are here to tell you that everything is going well for the Wang Xiaowei and Ying Xiaowei divisions. There are many people in Wuhuan who are willing to join the army. This month, Wang Xiaowei's first division is recruiting more than 2,300 troops, and the unified army is 3,000. Ying Xiaowei is recruiting troops. Six hundred, make up the number of two thousand.”
Several armies under Zhang Qi will recruit a large number of troops after each battle. To put it bluntly, the route he is taking now is military control, and he only has enough soldiers under his command to coordinate the overall situation.
More than half a year later, after several battles, the sergeants under Zhang Qi have gradually matured.
It's time to set up a number.
Wang Libu has always been there, and the cry of the eagle is nothing to worry about.
In addition, Wuhuan people have been being recruited recently, and each ministry has experienced an increase in personnel. Having a designation will also allow these recruits to have a greater sense of belonging and integrate as early as possible.
Even Hu Shui, who was far away in Xianbei, Zhang Qi had someone send a letter asking him to expand the number of mounted archers to a thousand.
According to the existing job division, Wang Li's department now has three sergeants, and can set up assistant generals.
"Then let Wang Li and Ying prepare. I will go to the military camp to give them the flag at Shenshi today."
"yes."
Qinghua cupped his hands and summoned a female soldier guarding the king's tent to whisper a few words, and then the female soldier hurriedly walked towards Zhang Qiyi and saluted.
It is not necessary for Qinghua to do such a small thing personally, the sisters under her hands can do it well.
At the end of the reading, Qinghua called Zhang Qi a few words in a low voice.
Zhang Qi, who was immersed in the book, came back to his senses and asked: "Is it time?"
Qinghua nodded: "It is already the third hour of the last hour, and there are only a few quarters of hours left before the time set by the Lord."
Putting down the bamboo slips, Zhang Qi stood up, with cracking joints all over his body. He stretched his hands back, exhaled a long breath, and said with some relief: "Let's go then, the flags are all ready."
"Get ready. After Director Hu registers the information of his subordinates, almost all Han women will know how to be a prostitute."
"Okay, let's go then. Go to Wang Li's department first, you can make arrangements."
"promise!"
Qinghua bowed and saluted, then turned around and shouted: "Bring out the carriage and harness the horse!"
The female soldiers outside the door acted quickly. Several of them got on the horses that were used to deliver messages and rushed to the chariot storage area.
After harnessing three white horses, three green horses, and three red horses, they drove over.
During this period, Zhang Qi was also served by Qinghua and put on bright armor. This set of noble armor that Zhang Qi selected from thousands of people in the world of riding and slashing was extremely luxurious. It was a bit flashy when used in battle, but it was used to show his identity. not bad.
Sword.
Put on a bright red cloak.
Zhang Qi transformed from a scholar into a military general.
After boarding the carriage, Zhang Qi sat in the middle of the carriage. There was a square box without a lid in his hand, and inside the square box were two finely crafted flags.
The nine-horse chariot headed for the military camp outside the royal court at a leisurely pace.
Wang Li, who had been prepared for a long time, opened the door wide and followed the commanders of the music and villages to stand on both sides to welcome Zhang Qi's arrival.
Three thousand sergeants were already in formation at the school grounds.
Under the discipline of veterans of hundreds of battles, these new recruits were very well-behaved. They all looked ahead solemnly without making any noise.
Wang Li's previous 1,500 people followed Zhang Qi to plunder the grassland, and when they returned after hundreds of battles, they only had 1,300 people. However, in the head-on confrontation with Wuhuan's army that day, more than 600 of these 1,300 people were lost, and only 600 of them were lost. There are less than 700 old soldiers left.
These seven hundred old soldiers are the seeds. Although Wang Li's combat power has been greatly reduced in a short period of time, as long as they are trained for a while and then taken out to see blood, these two thousand three hundred people can be trained into elite soldiers.
After entering the military camp, the driver of the car was changed from a female soldier to the commander of the various villages, and the female soldiers stayed outside the military camp.
On the chariot, Zhang Qi couldn't help but turn his head as he looked at the layout that was completely revealed as he entered the military camp, and started talking to Wang Li who was under the chariot.
"Not bad. The layout of the military camp coincides with the art of war. The surrounding sentry towers can monitor the entire military camp without blind spots."
Wang Li followed the rhythm of the chariots and said: "Your Majesty's wisdom, these arrangements are made by the general in the book based on his experience in commanding troops during these days. Everywhere in the camp can be monitored from the sentry tower, and The sentry tower is also a command and flag tower. Whenever there is an emergency, the command and control soldiers on the sentry tower can directly convey the flag command issued by me to the entire army."
Zhang Qi nodded, and soon the chariot arrived at the school grounds. Looking at the recruits who had become elite soldiers in a short period of time, Zhang Qi couldn't help but praise: "Your military skills are growing rapidly. You are working harder and earning more." Take the opportunity to lead an army of ten thousand for me, an army of one hundred thousand!"
"They are all cultivated by Your Majesty, and I will definitely dedicate myself to Your Majesty's great cause!" Wang Li gave a solemn salute.
Zhang Qi laughed loudly: "Hahaha, with your words, I can safely hand over millions of troops and horses to you!"
Stretching out a hand, Wang Li stepped forward to help him in time.
Zhang Qi got off the chariot and boarded the general-ordering platform in the school field in front of everyone. Suddenly there was a neat sound of footsteps in the military formation, and the next second, the generals shouted.
"Greetings to your Majesty."
"Greetings to your Majesty."
"Greetings to your Majesty."
Three times in a row, the sound was deafening.
Zhang Qi was very satisfied that a group of new recruits could become so organized in less than half a month.
He stretched out a hand and pressed it, and the army suddenly fell silent.
Zhang Qi cleared his throat: "All the generals are newly recruited soldiers. I am very satisfied with such power. Merits will be rewarded, and demerits will be punished. This is the rule I set when I founded the army."
"Your performance today proves that you train hard every day. This is merit! And if you have merit, you will be rewarded!"
"Wang Li listens to the order!"
"The general is here!"
Wang Li strode out and half-knelt under the general platform.
Zhang Qi said loudly: "Each of the officers and men will be rewarded with five kilograms of meat. The disposal of the meat will be handled by the officers and men themselves. Each of the officers and men will be rewarded with one kilogram of wine. Drinking of the wine is not allowed in the army. Each of the officers and men will be rewarded with half a kilogram of icing sugar. The icing sugar will be returned to you." It's up to the soldiers to handle the situation themselves!
Do you hear it clearly? "
"The general will get the order!"
Wang Li responded with a loud voice, and the eyes of the newly recruited Wuhuan people in the army shone brightly.
After giving some rewards to capture the hearts of the new recruits, Zhang Qi did not let Wang Li return to the army, but asked him to ascend to the general position.
"You are all newly recruited soldiers, so let me tell you what kind of army you are in.
Wang Li's tribe was established in the cold winter of last year, and it has been less than a year. However, during this year, Wang Li's tribe followed me on expeditions in all directions, defeated Zuoxian Wang's tribe, overthrew the Xianbei royal court, and plundered the grasslands.
Along the way, we fought hundreds of battles and fought over a thousand brave warriors. Each of them was a fierce warrior. With thousands breaking through ten thousand, before your eyes. In the past, King Wuhuan recruited more than 8,000 Wuhuan warriors. You should know that, then I tell you that what these eight thousand Wuhuan warriors faced that day is where you are now. "
Zhang Qi was on the general ordering platform to mobilize the mood of the generals. When he saw that it was almost done, he took out the luxurious sword from his waist and raised it high.
"You must not live up to this bloody bravery. You should encourage us. Do you know, generals? Are you willing?"
As soon as Zhang Qi finished speaking, the audience burst into deafening cheers again.
"willing!"
"willing!"
"willing!"
Sheathing his sword, Zhang Qi laughed.
"Hahaha, okay! I am lucky to have you. Today, I give you a banner. I hope you will not forget today in the future!"
"Wang Li listens to the order!"
"The general is here!"
Even though he is the leader of an army, Wang Li is very excited at this moment. A man should hold a three-foot green front when setting up his career, and he did it!
With a wave of his hand, someone in the audience bowed and came on stage holding a square box in both hands.
Zhang Qi took out the big flag from the square box and showed it to the generals.
A roaring tiger is embroidered on the flag, and the golden threads intertwined shine in the sun.
The silver border is detailed with a tiger on the obverse and a plow on the reverse.
Under the fierce tiger, two official characters full of chilling meaning wrote "Hu Ben".
"Listen up."
"Today, I give you the banner 'Hu Ben'!"
"I hope you and others will all be brave enough to fight, and one can be worth ten!!"
