Li Hao took the initiative to end the topic, and then told Gu Tingye his plan.
Li Hao said: "After they all report their work, I will prepare to close the camp for training in the next period of time. Everyone, including you and me, must stay in the camp until they are ready to go south.
As for how to do it specifically, you need to discuss it with Xu Ning. Anyway, I don't have high requirements, and I don't expect these noble disciples to be able to obey the orders and prohibitions. As long as they can look good and don't cause trouble, I will be satisfied. "
After hearing this, Gu Tingye agreed and let him handle it.
After the conversation was over, the two of them went back to their respective homes to arrange things at home.
It's okay for Li Hao here, but Wei and Li Jian were a little worried after all, but after Li Hao's persuasion, they felt free to let Li Hao do his work.
Gu Tingye had to arrange the lives of Sister Rong and Brother Chang. Originally, after Zhu Maniang's death, Gu Yankai said that the two children could be raised in the Marquis' Mansion, but they could not be included in the genealogy for the time being. They had to wait until Gu Tingye got married. The head wife decides the matter.
But how could Gu Tingye dare to put the child in the Hou Mansion just before he was about to leave Bianjing, and raise it under the noses of Mrs. Xiao Qin and Gu Tingyu.
So he planned to temporarily entrust the child to Sheng Changbai, but luckily he hadn't entered the Gu family tree yet, otherwise it wouldn't have been easy to do so.
After the two of them had arranged things, they began to stay in the military camp, waiting for everyone to come and take office.
While waiting, Li Hao had time to thoroughly understand the training situation of the ancient army.
In addition, Li Hao also wanted to see if he could use modern military training methods to train a strong army like in many time-travel novels.
But after Li Hao carefully studied the current situation, he knew that this was impossible.
Because in terms of training alone, the Imperial Army already performs exercises every day. Soldiers have to conduct weapons drills, physical training, and formation training every day.
Weapons are still in the era of cold weapons, although Li Hao also saw some firearms in the camp, such as fireballs, fireballs, tribulus fireballs, thunderbolt fireballs, smoke balls, poison smoke balls, iron-mouthed fire harriers, bamboo fire harriers, Rockets, etc., their names sound very powerful, but most of them just burn and create poisonous smoke, and do not have much lethality.
Therefore, more battles still rely on long-range shooting with crossbows and soldiers killing enemies in close combat, which is completely different from modern times.
As for asking Li Hao to transform gunpowder, Li Hao knows how to use monosulfide, dinitrate, and charcoal, but without good forging skills, this thing can only be used as an explosive pack, and there is no telling whose head it will blow in the end. Yes, Li Hao has no plans to do it for the time being.
Another aspect of physical training is now mainly weight-bearing training and wrestling training while wearing armor, which can increase soldiers' endurance and reduce fatigue.
This can be improved by using modern long-distance running, or horizontal and parallel bars and obstacle training, but the biggest problem here is food and salary.
Now the imperial army is doing relatively well, because he and the other officers are both wealthy and have no intention of depriving the soldiers of their food and pay.
But even this is not enough for them to eat meat every day to supplement their nutrition. As for paying for the supplement yourself, that's too taboo, and the officials will think about why you want to win over the military.
In addition, the Taizu of this dynasty relied on the support of the army to obtain the yellow robe, so he cannot seek death on his own.
There was also the final formation training. I watched the soldiers below changing formations under the command of their superiors. They successively demonstrated square formations, circular formations, number formations, wild goose formations, sparse formations, etc. This was much more difficult than simply standing in military posture. .
Anyway, after one trip, the training methods that Li Hao learned were of little use.
The last round of modernization reform of the army was completed in Li Hao's mind.
While Li Hao and Gu Tingye were waiting, people finally began to join the imperial army. The first batch were Yang Wenyuan, Li Yixing, and Yuan Wenshao. From then on, people continued to report.
Li Hao originally thought that everyone would arrive quickly, but in the end, after the agreed time, Sun Hu and Chen Xian still did not arrive.
At this time, Li Hao was too lazy to wait any longer, so he called Gu Tingye and went to invite him personally.
On the way to the door, Gu Tingye said: "If they don't come, just find someone to go to their house and leave a message. Why should we two Shangguan go to invite them? It won't sound good if we tell them."
After hearing this, Li Hao laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? I'm not afraid of losing face anyway. Are you still afraid?"
Gu Tingye replied: "I'm not afraid of losing face. You don't care about any civil servants, and I don't care even less. It's just that we showed weakness today, how can we control them in the future.
And I'm also surprised that with your personality, you don't seem like such a compromised person. "
Li Hao said instead: "Who says I'm not? I've always been kind-hearted. Just like this time, I not only came to invite you in person, but also hired someone to help me spread the word in Bianjing. At this time, I don't know how many people there are in Bianjing." Everyone knows that I treat people with sincerity.
I'm afraid that even Uncle Kang's family and Uncle Rongchang's family have already learned in advance that I'm here to invite people. "
After hearing this, Gu Tingye thought for a while and said: "You used this trick well. After all, this matter was decided by the officials, and the British prince praised you at the beginning.
After the two families learned the news, they had to express their opinions, otherwise it would be difficult to communicate with each other. "
Li Hao said: "Then I didn't think about it that way. I just came to pick up people. Don't think too much about it.
While talking, the two of them arrived at Uncle Rongchang's mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door of the mansion, they saw that the concierge welcomed them in very enthusiastically. It seemed that someone had already mentioned something.
When the two saw Chen Xian in the main hall, Chen Xian was already lying on a stretcher in front of the hall.
Seeing this, Li Hao hurriedly asked Rongchang Bo Chen Jingfu: "Brother Chen, what's going on? I originally came to ask Brother Chen to serve in the army, but I didn't expect that Brother Chen was injured so seriously. Today, let’s go after the injury heals.”
Chen Xian may have just been taught a lesson at this time and did not dare to answer. Instead, Chen Jingfu said: "What did the two nephews say? How could they be delayed by a minor injury when working for the Song Dynasty and the official family?" This is not the duty of a minister.
You two can just take the person away later, and then you have to trouble both of them to practice more. "
Hearing this, Li Hao replied: "Uncle is right, it's because the younger generation like me has little knowledge.
However, the two of us still have to go to Kang'anbo Mansion to invite Brother Sun to take up his post. Otherwise, the uncle will send someone to send Brother Chen directly to the military camp, which will save him more bumps in the middle. "
After hearing this, Chen Jingfu said: "No, let him come with you." Then he ordered someone to set up a car to load Chen Xian, and followed Li Hao and Gu Tingye to Kang Anbo's mansion.
When the two of them entered the main hall, they saw that the situation was basically the same as in Kang Anbo's house. Sun Hu was also beaten and lying on a stretcher, waiting for someone to pick him up.
So Li Hao asked Sun Zhongqin, the uncle of Kang'an, for advice on some minor military matters, and then left.
He took Sun Hu and Chen Xian back to the military camp, and when they were carried out of the carriage, the scene was regarded as establishing a prestige among a group of restless nobles.
Of course, I don’t know how long this effect will last.
