The New Army camp was on the right track, and many people came to visit one after another.
Some were civil servants who had some connections with Feng Yibo.
Some simply heard about it and came to watch the excitement.
For whatever purpose.
Everyone who came was intimidated by the uniform and ordered military appearance.
It is common to praise on the spot, and there are many who directly write poems to praise.
One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.
Feng Yibo's reputation as "Jia Xuan" is even more prosperous.
And received praise from so many officials.
Invisibly, it also gave the new army soldiers a sense of pride.
Each one became more energetic when practicing.
I am very proud to be a member of the New Army.
This sense of pride starts from the inside out and slowly develops into a sense of honor.
The entire new army is also more prosperous.
Whenever someone visits, it is rarely empty-handed.
More or less, you have to bring some supplies to work.
Especially in the same year as Feng Yibo, most people had heard about the "fifteen pigs" incident.
At first it was just them taking care of the pigs.
Later, word spread gradually, and the entire Jiangnan officialdom heard about it.
It was even spread around, and it became known that the New Army had to eat at least fifteen pigs every day.
Anyone who hears this will sigh with emotion. Elite soldiers still need to be trained intensively.
For this food, most military attachés would not be willing to spend such money!
This also led to the fact that later civil servants in the labor army only came after buying pigs.
For a moment, it turned out to be more expensive than a mountain pig.
Some people have even begun to take advantage of the opportunity and specialize in reselling pigs from other places.
Just waiting to be sold to the new army and the civilian officials who came to work for the army.
Although the New Army is not so luxurious as to eat fifteen pigs a day.
But it still happens every three days, almost every day.
This is considered extremely luxurious in this era!
The extra pigs were raised by Gouzi by someone special.
Slowly becoming an important part of the Xinjun ecology.
More than three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it’s already autumn.
The soldiers of the new army are completely new inside and out.
Originally they were all lean, but now most of them have become muscular men.
The skin is still dark, but it is black and shiny.
After three months of military training, the Yuanyang Formation has taken initial shape.
This is not a simplified version of the manure fork, pot lid, and hatchet.
Rather, they are upgraded versions of spears, shields, and steel knives.
Even the moso bamboo has been upgraded and equipped with iron tips.
The formation is still the same as before.
After all, they were all brought out by the villagers of Fengjiazhuang.
The first two people choose the strongest one in the team.
Holding a shield and a steel knife hanging from his waist.
As the sword and shield player, he is at the front.
Defend your team from arrows and stop enemies from charging into the formation.
The two men behind them were holding crossbows and carrying quivers on their backs.
A steel knife is also hung on the waist for self-defense.
These are the captains and vice-captains of each team.
While commanding, he also shoulders the responsibility of shooting the opponent's leader.
After all, there are only a few people who can shoot arrows.
Therefore, Feng Yibo asked for five hundred hard bows from the Ministry of War.
Five hundred crossbows were still honed.
The last two men were holding wolf millenniums.
That is, the kind of old moso bamboo that is two feet long, with an iron tip attached.
The main purpose is to prevent the enemy from getting close.
It also has the effect of damaging the enemy.
The last four spearmen are armed with spears, spears, and palladiums.
They are all the main attackers in the team.
When weapons are upgraded, the equipment on your body cannot be left behind.
The rattan player in front is wearing two layers of armor.
The inner part is cotton armor, and the outer part is chain mail.
The soldiers in the back all have one layer of armor.
Most of them are cotton armor or light armor such as leather armor.
Three thousand regular soldiers exchanged their guns for cannons, which was considered to be fully armed to the teeth.
Daily training also has fixed rules.
In addition to running, military posture, and queueing.
There is also the transformation and coordination of the Yuanyang Formation.
Different arms also have different training contents.
Crossbowmen need to practice shooting and wielding swords.
The rattan players should practice holding the cards and swinging the sword.
Spearmen also need to practice thrusting.
The wolf's hand also wields the wolf.
At the end of the day anyway.
No matter how tough you are, you will still be exhausted from training.
Even so, the soldiers enjoyed it endlessly.
In addition to the excellent food, they also received two months' salary.
It is the easiest for them to be a little bit tired and a little bit hard.
Nearly half of the start-up capital has been consumed, and Feng Yibo is about to lose his patience.
He had already discussed with Liu Zhao and was preparing to take the initiative.
Before the end of the month, a group of Japanese pirates stationed on Big Nose Island will be attacked.
There are approximately more than 1,000 Japanese pirates in this group, which is considered a large group in the Jiangnan area.
In fact, fishermen had already informed the government of the news.
However, several health centers were wrangling, and it has not been possible to make the move.
And the reason why Feng Yibo set it as the first goal.
Mainly because he heard Liu Zhao talk about it.
The Japanese pirates on this island looted several times and must have hoarded a lot of goods.
Just right as a first choice.
But what Feng Yibo didn't expect was that he hadn't even started yet.
But a wave of Japanese pirates came to the door first.
On this day, the night was dark and windy.
The sound of bamboo whistles "beep" came from all over the camp.
The new army soldiers have long been accustomed to it, and they get up numbly one by one.
Quickly put on your equipment.
It is said that this is a method that Master Feng came up with specifically to torment people.
It's called an emergency set.
Every few days, I come here from time to time.
Those who fail will be deprived of meat for three days.
In less than a minute's time, three thousand regular soldiers had already gathered at the school grounds.
The counting has even been completed.
Some smart people discovered the anomaly.
Because no torches were lit today, the school grounds were pitch black.
Sure enough, Feng Yibo, who rarely appeared in public, said in a deep voice:
"Attention everyone, this is not a drill!"
"The secret sentry at the seaside sent back news that the Japanese pirates are landing and preparing to attack our new army camp at night."
After hearing this, the soldiers had different ideas.
But the same thing is that they didn't move.
This is a habit formed over the past three months.
It is the force of habit that prevents them from moving without orders.
Especially in front of Feng Yibo, the biggest official in the camp.
"After training, you have already become elites in the army! Everyone already knows this."
"Tonight is the time to check the results!"
Feng Yibo's deep voice struck every soldier's heart.
Some people were trembling with excitement and wished they could start a war right away.
Some people were so scared that they wanted to run away, but the comrades around them gave them enough strength.
Some people's minds are blank, just waiting for orders to move.
"Wait everyone, don't speak out without orders."
"When the Japanese pirates get deeper, we will close the door and beat the dogs!"
Feng Yibo gave them chicken blood without shouting.
But he also growled: "This battle must be won, and it must be won beautifully!"
After saying that, he looked at Mengzi next to him and said, "Meng Qianhu, come and arrange combat missions according to the plan!"
"yes!"
Mengzi straightened up unconsciously when he heard this, and then growled:
"Everyone has it! Follow Plan No. 3!"
"Each platoon will go to the designated location and wait for orders!"
The New Army soldiers began to leave the school grounds quickly but in an orderly manner.
Under the leadership of the platoon leader, arrive at the designated location and wait.
It didn't take long.
Under the silent night sky, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard.
