The next day.
Early in the morning, three thousand new recruits came from all directions and gathered in front of the military camp with their bedding, bowls and chopsticks.
After ordering one by one, three thousand recruits were led to the school field.
Seven hundred veterans were already fully armed, lined up in a neat queue, and stood there quietly.
A chilling air suddenly hit his face.
The recruits subconsciously closed their mouths and formed a long queue consciously.
On the high platform, Han Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, with Nie Dong and Wei Da standing on the left and right behind him.
Wei Da finally recovered from his injuries, and after helping Han Zhen train as a village warrior for a period of time, he couldn't wait to return to the military camp.
Accompanying him were Wang Wu and several other veterans who had been seriously injured in Songshan Ridge.
The entire campus was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on the high platform.
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Han Zhen's eyes. He originally thought that these new recruits would huddle together in a messy and noisy manner after entering the military camp. He never expected that it would be better than he expected.
"Since you have joined the army and joined the ranks, you must abide by the rules. My rules are very simple."
Han Zhen glanced at the veterans and said loudly: "Tell them, what are the rules of our Qingzhou Army?"
"Obey, obey, fucking obey!"
Seven hundred veterans roared loudly in unison, and the sound echoed over the military camp. The frightened birds and beasts in the mountains fled in all directions.
The recruits were shocked and their blood surged in their bodies.
Han Zhen said loudly: "You can eat whatever you want, and I have plenty of rewards. What you need to do is to obey absolutely. I ask you to wait to go east, but you are not allowed to go west, and you are not allowed to go back until you move forward. Do you understand?" "
"clear."
The sparse replies from the recruits made Han Zhen frown. He stared at the recruits with unkind eyes and yelled, "Say it again, do you understand?"
"clear!!!"
This time, the recruits answered in a much more orderly manner, each shouting at the top of their lungs.
Han Zhen nodded and called: "Nie Dong!"
"The general is here!"
Nie Dong immediately took a step forward and cupped his hands.
Han Zhen ordered: "General, tell them what the ban is."
"yes!"
Nie Dong responded loudly, and then said to the new recruits below: "When you join the army, you must abide by military orders. Listen carefully, otherwise, if anyone violates military orders, he will be beheaded in the most serious case, and punished with a stick in the lightest case."
"First, if you hear the drum but don't move forward, or if you hear the gold doesn't stop, behead!"
"Second, if you use rumors and deceitful words to confuse the sergeants, behead them!"
"Third, stealing people's property and robbing military honors, thirty rods!"
"Fourth..."
There were ten military orders in total. Nie Dong spoke very slowly to prevent anyone from not understanding them.
These military orders may seem to be written by Wen Zou Zou, but in fact they are not difficult to understand. Even Kuhaha, who cannot read a single Chinese character, can understand their meaning.
This was a major matter concerning their own lives, so the recruits naturally did not dare to neglect it, so they all listened very seriously.
After he finished speaking, he yelled: "Do you understand everything?"
"clear!"
the recruits shouted in unison.
Nie Dong continued: "After the military order, let's talk about the routine of the army. Mao is at the beginning of the month, Mao is at the beginning of the month, and the time is at the beginning of the month. During this period, you will have an hour for breakfast, lunch and rest. The opening of the month of Youzheng Night classes, whether you want to learn or not is up to you, but if you want to be promoted in our Qingzhou Army, you need to be literate and arithmetic."
"Rest at Xu hour. After this hour, no one is allowed to move around in the military camp without military orders. Violators will be dealt with according to military law. Can you hear me clearly?"
The army is different from other places. It must be clearly planned when to do what.
In addition to facilitating management, it can also enhance the discipline of soldiers.
"clear!"
the recruits shouted again.
After explaining this, Nie Dong returned to stand behind Han Zhen.
Han Zhen said seriously: "Now our army is officially named Qingzhou Army. I am the commander, and Nie Dong and Wei Da are the commanders on the left and right. The infantry in the army is divided into three battalions, and the cavalry is divided into one battalion!"
After discussing the organization of the army with Nie Dong, Han Zhen did not choose to change it.
There are still twelve people in a team, ten teams are one capital, ten capitals are one battalion, and ten battalions are one army.
Hearing this, the eyes of the veterans in the audience suddenly lit up, and they all looked expectant.
From yesterday's military expansion, they knew that many people were going to be promoted.
Now that it has finally begun, the veterans can't help but hold their breath, feeling both nervous and excited.
"Zhang He!"
As Han Zhen shouted loudly, someone immediately walked out of the crowd.
Zhang He looked excited, clasped his fists and said, "The general is here!"
Han Zhen ordered: "From today on, you will be the commander of Zuoying, commanding the entire army."
"Thank you so much, County Magistrate. I will try my best to live up to my expectations!"
Zhang He's heart surged, and his eyes looking at Han Zhen were full of enthusiasm.
"Wubao!"
"The general is here!"
Xiao Wu stepped out of the queue.
"You are the commander of the right battalion."
"The general will definitely live up to his mission!"
"Yu Jun, you are the commander of the middle camp."
Although Yu Jun joined the military camp a little later, he grew rapidly and soon attracted Nie Dong's attention.
When the two discussed the position of battalion commander last night, Nie Dong specifically recommended him to Han Zhen.
Zhang and the three of them stood in front of the formation, high-spirited, feeling the envious eyes of the brothers behind them, and felt extremely comfortable.
Han Zhen glanced around, set his eyes on Liu Qi, and said loudly: "Liu Qi!"
ah?
Liu Qi, who was in the crowd, was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward after recovering his composure.
"The general is here!"
A smile flashed in Han Zhen's eyes and he ordered: "I now order you to be the commander of the cavalry battalion and command the cavalry!"
"Thank you so much, County Magistrate!"
Liu Qi was extremely excited at the moment.
He didn't expect that he would be promoted to battalion commander just a few days after arriving at the military camp, and he felt that he would meet a good man.
For a moment, a hint of envy flashed in the eyes of Zhang and the three of them.
Although there are only thirty-six people in the cavalry battalion, everyone knows that the cavalry is the treasure of the Qingzhou Army. If there is any good thing, the cavalry will come first, and the rest will fall into the hands of the infantry. .
Moreover, the cavalry battalion will definitely expand in the future.
However, although Zhang and the three of them were envious, they had no other thoughts in their hearts, because although Liu Qi had just entered the military camp, he impressed many people with his performance.
After all, he was born as a general, and he has been exposed to it since childhood. He is familiar with the art of war and military strategy, and he has been taught by martial arts masters like Zhou Tong, so he is also extremely powerful.
The dragon-coiling stick in his hand was so powerful that no one in the army, except Nie Dong, could go through three rounds under him.
In addition, this guy knows everyone, is open-minded, and can joke.
In short, he is very charming.
Glancing at the four people, Han Zhen said sternly: "Don't be too happy too soon. Be careful and guard against arrogance. In our Qingzhou Army, we emphasize that the capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be demoted. If you do not perform well, you will be singled out. Replaced by soldiers."
"I will finally understand!"
The four people's hearts trembled, and they all responded.
Then, Han Zhen appointed thirty more heads to coordinate with the team.
After the appointment, Han Zhen turned around and said, "The new recruits will be left to you."
Nie Dong looked slightly surprised and said, "Won't the county magistrate stay in the army?"
It stands to reason that on the first day when new recruits enter the camp, Han Zhen, the commander who is both emotional and rational, has to stay and direct the drills.
It is a taboo in the army that a soldier does not know his general.
But Han Zhen is not worried about this. In Linzi County, he is under the control of the military and government.
Nowadays, among the people in Linzi County, no one knows that the county magistrate is the most important, followed by the county magistrate.
Han Zhen explained: "The hydraulic forging workshop and salt factory have started construction. I have to go and take a look."
The importance of these two factories, one a money bag and the other an arsenal, is self-evident. They were completed and put into use on the same day.
He really didn't feel at ease unless he took a look for himself.
Hearing this, Nie Dong couldn't help but solemnly said: "In that case, the county magistrate will go and leave. The military camp will be watched by the last general and Brother Wei, and nothing will go wrong."
Han Zhen ordered: "New recruits need to adapt to the camp for a period of time. You two have to work harder these days, so keep an eye on them."
"The county magistrate is relieved!"
Wei Da cupped his fists and said.
He has been so idle these days that he feels tired now that he is back in the military camp.
Riding on his horse, Han Zhen left the military camp and followed the Xiaodong River to the hydraulic forging workshop.
At this moment, the workshop was bustling with people, and looking from a distance, a line of black smoke shot straight into the sky.
Craftsman Yuan had already been waiting outside the workshop. When he saw Han Zhen, he immediately greeted him: "County magistrate, the workshop has started work!"
"Come on, show me."
After dismounting, Han Zhen handed the horse's reins to his subordinates and walked into the workshop.
As soon as I entered the workshop, a wave of heat immediately hit my face.
In an instant, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Han Zhen's body.
The workers in their thirties were shirtless, revealing their finely dressed bodies. Their sweat-soaked muscles were shiny in the light of the fire.
The blacksmith's trade cannot be accomplished without a lot of strength.
The requirement for hiring people in the blacksmith shop is to be honest and strong.
Although the hydraulic workshop does not require manpower to forge iron, just moving pig iron and wrought iron is not something ordinary people can do.
Boom boom boom!
Driven by the waterwheel, five water-powered forging hammers kept beating up and down, and sparks flew everywhere under the forging of the red-hot wrought iron.
The first batch of tasks Han Zhen assigned to the workshop was to forge thirty-seven pieces of cavalry heavy armor, plus three hundred pieces of infantry heavy armor.
