As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"It's not your fault that you don't know how to be lonely."
"Those who do not have military orders must strictly abide by military discipline and must not let them pass by!"
"You have done a great job, and I plan to reward you!"
"Laifu, reward each of them with ten taels of silver!"
Holding a heavy amount of ten taels of silver, the two sentries seemed to be in a dream, with an unreal feeling.
He blocked the prince from entering the camp. Instead of scolding them, the prince actually rewarded them with money?
"Many...thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
"Work hard and don't let me live up to my high expectations for you."
Ji Lie patted the two of them on the shoulders and immediately walked towards the camp.
Watching his leaving figure, the two sentries turned red with excitement and wished they could fight for him on the spot to kill the enemy!
Zhang Changde followed Ji Lie while introducing him to the situation in the military camp.
The guards' military camp was built around Gaolaozhuang.
The courtyard wall is less than two feet high, and there is space for standing on the inside of the wall.
If an enemy attacks, the guards can stand behind the wall and attack the enemy from a high position.
Although it has not been completely completed, it has been built in various ways.
When Ji Lie arrived, it was time for the guards to have dinner.
"Your Majesty is here, please stand up and salute!"
Zhang Changde shouted in a deep voice.
After hearing his words, all the guards subconsciously put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up.
They all raised their right hands and held them flat at their temples.
This kind of hand-raising ceremony from later generations was exactly what Ji Lie taught them.
"You don't have to be polite, please sit down and eat!"
Ji Lie smiled and waved his hand.
All the guards sat back down again.
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, Commander Zhang, prepare one for me."
"This... prince is of such high status, how can he dine with the soldiers?"
Zhang Changde looked embarrassed.
When Ji Lie heard this, he looked solemn and said,
"Commander Zhang is wrong. This is a military camp. Although I am a prince, I should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers!"
His words were resounding.
All the soldiers present were moved by it!
Zhang Changde did not dare to disobey Ji Lie's wishes, so he nodded to the soldiers on the side.
It didn't take long before the gang leader prepared meals for Ji Lie and his party.
Tonight's meal is quite simple. The staple food is steamed pancakes made from grains, and porridge made from rice, with pickles.
While Ji Lie was drinking porridge, he started talking to the soldiers beside him.
"How's the food? Are you usually full?"
"Go back... go back... report back to the prince, the food... is very good, and the food is sufficient!"
The soldier was very excited to have dinner with the prince, and even stammered when he spoke.
"That's good."
Ji Lie nodded, looked at the soldiers, and said in a deep voice,
"But Gu Ke not only wants to be full, but also wants to eat well!"
"From tomorrow onwards, there must be one meat meal in three meals a day!"
The guards present could not believe their ears.
As refugees, they were hungry and well fed before they went to Ji Lie.
It is not easy for them to have enough to eat.
But now Ji Lie actually promised that they could eat meat every day!
Is this a dream or something?
"What, you don't believe what Gu said?"
Ji Lie said with a smile.
"Your Majesty's words are the golden rule. Since I told you to eat meat every day, I won't lie to you. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Changde on the side shouted in a deep voice.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"
The guards said in unison, looking at Ji Lie with extremely eager eyes!
"As long as you train seriously and fight bravely, I will not treat you badly. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Okay, let's continue eating."
Looking at the soldiers devouring their food, Ji Lie showed a satisfied smile.
The strength of an army's combat effectiveness lies not only in its armor, but also in the combat effectiveness of its soldiers.
If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you need to intensify your training.
But correspondingly, the soldiers must also be given adequate nutrition.
There is no such thing as a good thing in the world if you want the horse to run and not eat grass.
Ji Lie was short of money before and could only ensure that the soldiers had enough food.
But now that he has the filial deposit from the nobles and merchants, he has a lot of money and naturally wants to keep the guards well fed!
In addition to the physical fitness of the soldiers, their discipline, thinking, etc. also determine their combat effectiveness.
This is why, from the very beginning, Ji Lie trained the guards according to the training methods of the modern army.
Because what he wants to build is an ancient army with modern military literacy, who can listen to his command, dare to fight tough battles, and win battles!
Ji Lie was very satisfied with this dinner.
After he led the people away, the guards couldn't help but whisper.
"I didn't expect the prince to be so amiable."
"Yeah, let alone the county magistrate, even the pavilion chief in our village is always aloof!"
"Your Majesty has been so kind to us. Don't let your legs get weak when you go into battle to kill the enemy!"
"Whoever has weak legs will be the grandson!"
Their words were filled with admiration and admiration for Ji Lie!
Zhang Changde, who had not yet gone far, listened to their words and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The prince just came to the military camp for a visit, had a dinner, and made the guards obsessed with him!
What a good idea!
Zhang Changde accompanied Ji Lie until he left Gaolaozhuang.
"Commander Zhang, it's getting late, why don't you follow me into the city?"
Ji Lie glanced at the sky and said with a smile.
Zhang Changde was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, his old face turned red,
"My lord, is this not good?"
"What's wrong with this? It's human nature to be full and warm and miss the rain."
Ji Lie smiled.
You guys have been staying in the military camp recently, getting along with these rough and tumble men every day.
Faced with the temptation of beauty, if you hesitate for even a second, it will be disrespectful to the girl from Yihongyuan!
As expected, Zhang Changde pretended to be reserved and authentic.
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, while I go down to change my clothes."
"go Go."
Ji Lie snickered in his heart.
If I can't control your pulse, Zhang Changde, how can I still be an old Chinese medicine doctor?
As the number of guards expanded to a thousand, Ji Lie adapted them according to Daxia's military system.
Five people form a corps, and ten people form a shi. They are divided into corps leaders and shi leaders.
For every hundred people there is one hundred captains, and for every five hundred people there is a brigade with two deputy commanders.
In order to ensure better control of the guards, several centurions and deputy commanders were selected from the original palace guards.
Therefore, even if Zhang Changde did not stay in the military camp, there would still be two deputy commanders taking care of him, so there would be no big trouble.
In just a moment, Zhang Changde took off his armor, put on his casual clothes, and ran over.
Several people rode a carriage and returned to Youzhou City before dark.
"Your Majesty, there is something unclear about this subordinate."
Zhang Changde said curiously.
