In the army, seniority is important, but military merit is more important.
It is precisely because of this that no one dares to look down on the deputy captain who keeps a straight face and shouts at him all day long.
Under the almost inhumane training methods, these soldiers lived in dire straits every day and were covered with bruises every day.
However, it was precisely under this cruel training that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers increased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
More than ten years later, Wei Qing used this army as the seed to establish the Wei Family Army that would go down in history.
In China's 5,000-year history, there have been countless elite armies, but not many can really leave their names behind. The Wei Jiajun is one of them.
"…………"
At noon, a rare meal break.
"Sir, on the battlefield, if we really just follow the instructions, we can survive and still get coins?"
A dozen young-looking soldiers gathered around the dining table and asked worriedly.
"Yes, as long as you follow the methods taught by the Captain, I believe that you will definitely honor your ancestors and become great people with titles and honors in the future."
Looking at the group of young soldiers in front of them who had just gained some morale, they looked at their eyes full of desire and fear, full of contradictions.
All of this made Bai Yunsheng, who had always only told the truth in his life, have no choice but to comfort him against his will.
After several months of training, Bai Yunsheng had developed a sense of comradeship with the soldiers he had personally trained.
Facing these soldiers, Bai Yunsheng still did not tell the real truth in the end.
Bai Yunsheng, who had personally participated in the war against the Huns and successfully survived, knew very well that by following this training method and training for a year and a half, their combat effectiveness could be greatly improved.
However, if they really faced the Huns cavalry who dominated the grassland, marched like the wind, and shot hundreds of arrows in the sun, the final result would undoubtedly be a disastrous defeat.
"..."
.However, if they just deal with the Jie, Di, Qiang and other miscellaneous beasts in the nearby area who have no fighting skills, they may really be able to get some advantages from those miscellaneous beasts.
"..."
"I don't know, what are you doing these days?"
Bai Yunsheng, who ate five rye cakes in one breath, looked at the scorching sun above his head and sighed quietly.
"..."
In the distance, outside the arsenal of the military village, dozens of officers were pulling truck after truck of military-made equipment into the warehouse under the command of Wei Qing.
Due to the relatively remote isolation, Bai Yunsheng did not discover that these so-called military equipment were the latest infantry crossbows developed by the empire.
This is a type of military equipment that spans the ages, enough to make even proud archers with superb archery skills despair.
Because it takes many years of practice to develop a good archer.
But a qualified crossbowman can be trained in just one to two months.
Although the crossbow is not very flexible due to its structure, it has a very long range and can even compete with the arrows shot by the Huns on horseback.
This was originally a strategic attack weapon. Once the crossbow arrow was fired, it would definitely catch the Huns off guard and suffer a big loss.
If it weren't for the fact that Wei Qing was the brother-in-law of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and his backers were very bluffing, no matter how much money Wei Qing spent, he still wouldn't be able to get such good equipment.
"How are the supplies and food reserves prepared? We will go out to inspect the surrounding areas in a few days."
After placing a large number of crossbow arrows in the arsenal, Wei Qing flipped through the material inventory account book sent by the quartermaster and asked.
According to the customized customs of Yanling Camp, every military camp around the military region must go out to patrol the surrounding area in order to check whether the surrounding area is safe and whether the Huns have invaded the border areas.
Therefore, Wei Qing must bring all the food and necessary supplies with him.
"..."
"My lord, I have prepared enough food for three hundred people to last fifteen days."
"Tomorrow when I get off the job, I'll ask the kitchen to carry the fried rice and dry biscuits onto the oxcart."
"By the way, just now, Chief Bi from Xiawa Village came to comfort the army with chickens, ducks, and local wine. The official has already arranged for them to stay in the military tent."
"I wonder if you are free, sir, to meet them in person?"
The quartermaster's eyes flickered as he looked at Wei Qing, who was looking through the list of supplies. His hesitant expression made Wei Qing curious.
As a low-ranking official, the quartermaster has never arranged his own affairs on his own initiative.
However, this time, the quartermaster in front of him actually expressed such an obvious hint to himself, as if there was something going on that he couldn't talk about here.
"The village chief of Xiawa Village? What's the reason for him coming here?"
"That's all, take me to see him."
Wei Qing still had some impressions of Xiawa Village. It was one of the few small villages within his jurisdiction.
"…………"
In the past few months, the villagers of Xiawa Village seem to have given themselves a few eggs.
"I think they may have some troubles and want us to solve them."
Seeing the confused expression on his immediate boss's face, the quartermaster said hesitantly.
The quartermaster's words left Wei Qing a little confused.
"Trouble, what trouble?"
Wei Qing looked at the quartermaster who looked embarrassed.
"The answer to your question, sir, seems to be related to Zahu."
The quartermaster touched his head and said with an extremely embarrassed expression.
"..."
Looking at the military officer like this, Wei Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.
How could he, who was always smart, not know that there was definitely something fishy going on?
This quartermaster must be paid, otherwise, he would never be so concerned about a village's affairs.
However, for the sake of his own reputation and the popularity of the local people, Wei Qing decided to meet the village chief Bi.
Chief Bi of Xiawa Village is an old man who is tall and thin, with pale hair and wrinkles on his face.
Village Chief Bi, who has matured into a mature man, knew the identity of the young man in front of him when he saw the quartermaster who had accepted his benefits and accompanied a tall young man into the military tent.
Village Chief Bi, who was asking for help, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Wei Qing's hand and wouldn't let go.
"Lord Captain, you are finally here. This time, you have to save us common people!"
He looked at the old man standing in front of him, with runny nose and tears, and kept wailing.
Wei Qing couldn't help but comforted him repeatedly: "Old man, just tell me if you have anything to do, and I will make the decision for you."
Under Wei Qing's comfort, Village Chief Bi slowly stated his purpose.
"Among the miscellaneous Hus around Yanling, there is a Qiang Hu tribe that turned into a bandit group of several hundred people."
