I’m The King Chapter 732: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (4)

The Young Guards were not stationed in Jishi City. The army was stationed at the Jishi Lake, a dozen miles away from Jishi City. In just a few months, the Jishi Lake has already risen A large area of ​​military camps, surrounded by walls made of rammed earth, surrounded the houses. Every tens of meters, there was a watchtower about ten meters high, and the bright red battle flag of the Young Guards was flying on the tower.

When Shangguan Hong arrived with Gao Yuan, Jishi Lake was bustling with activity. Teams of phalanxes were practicing formations, or standing in military posture under the sun, and cavalry were walking around Jishi Lake. Chasing after me, horseshoes rumbling, slogans bursting out, a lively scene of boiling against the sky.

"You're in good spirits!" Gao Yuan smiled and pointed at those energetic young men.

"This is the young guard of the governor!" Shangguan Hong said with a smile: "Regardless of the officers and soldiers, they are all selected the best. Every officer and soldier is dedicated to being a member of the young guard. Feeling honored, after I took office, I set an iron rule that if I fail to meet the target during training, I will be eliminated."

"I've seen the target you set. Is it too harsh for recruits?" Gao Yuan shook his head with a smile.

"Because we are the Young Guards." Shangguan Hong looked at Gao Yuan with his chest upright, "The Young Guards must be invincible and invincible, so as not to lose the prestige of the commander. In order to achieve this goal, we We must demand ourselves with the highest standards. Under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Mansion, it governs thousands of miles and has millions of people under its rule. Some people want to join. If anyone doesn’t care, then quit. Young Guards, absolutely don’t be unqualified people."

Gao Yuan smiled, "You are the commander of the Young Guards. You have the final say on these matters. You have been training for a month. How is it? How many have been eliminated?"

"The Jishi Lake Barracks now has a total of more than 15,000 recruits, and the elimination rate is 10%." Shangguan Hong said.

"With such a strict standard, the elimination rate is only 10%?" Gao Yuan looked at Shangguan Hong in surprise, "Very good!"

"This is due to the militia system implemented by the governor among the people. Those soldiers who have retired due to injuries or age are scattered to the people in various places, and they are responsible for the militias in various places. They are paid, and naturally they have to do things. Yes, now it seems that they are doing a good job. At least the newly recruited soldiers can go directly to battle in the general army. When those soldiers retired, some people suspected that you were a waste of money. Seeing the current results, those people should shut up."

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Shangguan, your flattery is becoming more and more invisible, but I love to hear that this system must be implemented unswervingly. The veterans who have contributed to our cause have settled their livelihoods, and secondly, they have also trained more qualified soldiers for us. In the future, we will need more and more soldiers.”

"The governor is wise."

"What is the proportion of the Huns in the Young Guards now?" Gao Yuan looked at the galloping cavalry in the distance and asked thoughtfully. Geili Literature Network

"Most of the Huns are cavalry, there are about 2,000 people. But the governor, these young Huns can no longer be regarded as real Huns. They have settled in Jishi City, with houses, land, and families. There are also industries in Jishi County. When recruiting troops, we pay great attention to this point. These selected Huns are not very old. They have lived in Jishi City for more than three years. They are the first batch of people who came to settle in Jishi City. The Huns, most of them, have even studied in the school, wore our clothes, spoke our words, and ate the same food as us, so they can basically be regarded as people from Jishi City.” Shangguan Hong said with a smile .

"Sinicization and assimilation of foreign races have always been efficient." Gao Yuan smiled triumphantly, "The books are the same, the cars are the same track. In a few years, the Xiongnu will become a term in history."

"The same book?" Shangguan Hong thought for a while, "During this time, the governor is preparing for the school books that Han Fu is rewriting?"

"Yeah!" Gao Yuan nodded, "You heard that too?"

"A few days ago, I met Han Fu. He poured out bitterness and said that all the characters of the governor had been changed. It took him a long time to match them one by one. He also said that he had read for half his life. If it comes out according to the words made by the Dudu, he will suspect that he is illiterate." Shangguan Hong laughed, "But I read the comparison copy he brought, but I think the words after the Dudu corrected them are more concise. Easy to remember.”

"That's simplified." Gao Yuan said casually: "In the past, there were many characters, which were too complicated. We conquered Dongfu Middle School, and there were not many scholars. It will be easier for them to learn, and it will be easier to promote. I hope there will be some One day, all of our people will be able to read and write."

"Everyone can read and write, this is a huge project." Shangguan Hong exclaimed.

"It's not a huge project." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "As long as everyone of our people becomes rich and has extra money in their pockets, everyone will naturally have higher pursuits. Knowing etiquette, having enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace, although this sentence cannot be said to be completely correct, it is generally not a problem. If you don’t have food to eat and clothes to wear, how can you read and write?”

"What the governor said is true, and in order to achieve this goal, we must first of all have our army continue to win victories, and continue to drive those who are still living without food and clothes from the army. Rescue them, and bring them under our rule, and only under the rule of the governor, can they really live a life of food and clothing."

"You understand very well. Everything is based on our continuous victory, so now we need a strong and irresistible army." Gao Yuan pointed not far away The training scene of the Young Guards, "In the future, there will be more and more such troops. Go, go into the barracks and have a look."

The two galloped close to the barracks, and when they saw a horse galloping towards them, soldiers greeted them immediately at the gate, raised their hands high, and shouted: "No horses are allowed in the camp."

Shangguan Hong reined in his horse and stood up, "Captain, there are regulations in the barracks that no horses are allowed in the barracks for non-military operations."

Gao Yuan laughed, and couldn't help but think of the story of Xiliuying in his mind. He raised his eyebrows, "Since it's a rule, of course we have to abide by it. Get off the horse and let's walk in."

The two got off their horses, and the soldier who ran over to stop him recognized two knights running in plain clothes, one was the supreme commander of the Young Guards, and the other was the governor Gao Yuan. He jumped, put his feet together, stood up straight, and gave a military salute to the two of them.

Gao Yuan returned the salute with a smile, and tapped his shoulder with the whip, "Not bad, not bad."

The two of them passed the soldier and walked towards the camp, leaving only the soldier who was still frozen there with a look of excitement on his face, "The governor talked to me, ha, the governor talked to me."

In the big camp, the construction is extremely orderly. There are rows of one-story houses horizontally and vertically. There is a distance of several meters between each row of houses. The road is slightly raised, and there are rows of ditches on both sides. These ditches It is used to ensure that the roads in the military camp will not be muddy in rainy days.

"Captain, all the stones on the road here were dragged from outside Jishi City. They were originally used by the Ministry of Industry to pave the roads in the city. I went to grab some." Shangguan Hong said: "For this matter Hey, the officials from the Ministry of Industry have even sued me for political affairs!"

"You are taking advantage of Guo Quan's absence in Jishi City to bully his subordinates. Be careful when he comes back to settle accounts with you." Gao Yuan laughed.

"Guo Quan's temperament, even if he came back, he wouldn't dare to come to me." Shangguan Hong laughed, "At most, come to me to ask for a sum of money to go back."

"That's right, Guo Quan is capable and extremely serious in his work, but his temper is a little weaker. Such a soft-tempered person is also conducive to unity. He assisted Sun Xiao in building the city in Dayan County, and he will not be able to return in a short time."

"Captain, is Commander Sun really going to leave the army and turn to civil affairs?" Shangguan Hong hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Yes, now our army is getting bigger and bigger. Sun Xiao is not capable enough to command and fight with the large army. It is better for him to turn to civil affairs. Besides, I also need someone who can rest assured to take charge of it for me. Hetao." Gao Yuan glanced at Shangguan Hong, "The meeting hall will issue an announcement soon, Xu Yuan will be promoted to the commander of the Northern Army, Yan Peng will be the deputy commander and concurrently the commander of the First Army, and Luo Weiran will be the commander of the Second Army. Long."

Shangguan Hong was silent for a while, "I have worked with Commander Sun for so long, and he is suddenly leaving the army. I really feel a little bit reluctant."

"Although we have left the army, we are still colleagues!" Gao Yuan laughed.

"Commander, the front is where my Chinese army is located." Shangguan Hong pointed to a one-story house in front of him that was obviously much larger than the surrounding ones, and said.

"Let's go, after a while, you call in all the officers above the regiment, and I'll see them all. Most of them are officers from the former Guards Battalion?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Yes, very few of them are outstanding students who graduated from the military university this time. Several of these students used to serve as battalion generals in the army. After graduation, they were transferred to the Young Guards and promoted again. Level one." Shangguan Hong nodded.

Gao Yuan stopped suddenly, "Why are there people in your army arguing? Hey, it looks like Yang Dasha and Guo Laoji, don't they have a good relationship?"

"The relationship is very good." Shangguan Hong couldn't help laughing, "But in the past month, the two have had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days. Get up."

"What did Guo Laoji do to make guys like Yang Dasha jump off the wall?" Gao Yuan asked strangely.

"It's not because of the group of recruits in Baiyang Village."

"Baiyang Village, I remember, He Dayou, his leg was injured, it's inconvenient."

"The governor is really good at remembering. This He Dayou is a good soldier. Under his governance, Baiyang Village is really amazing, with a scale of 5,000 people~IndoMTL.com~It doesn't look like a village there, It is completely a military fortress, and the young people there are all trained by him to be extremely vigorous. When mounted, they become brave cavalry, and when dismounted, they become vigorous infantry."

"There are a lot of our veterans in that village. The Huns and Central Plains people live together, and they are both good at riding and shooting. And having a village head like He Dayou, of course, is amazing."

"Guo Laolan didn't know where he got the news. During the conscription, this guy went somewhere in person, picked up five hundred recruits from Baiyang Village, and then came to me and said he wanted this batch. Bing, at first I didn’t know too well, I thought it was a trivial matter, so I allocated it to him casually, but later I realized that I was cheated, I knew this batch of soldiers was like this, why would I want to get my Chinese army? , Yang Dasha thought that he had a good relationship with Guo Laozhi, so he asked him to beg half of it, but Guo Laozhu honestly beat him back, so he became angry, and he was pinching Guo Laozhu every day!"

Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "Only Guo Laolan can do this kind of thing. The division commander of the handsome young guards actually went to pick up the soldiers in person, and dared to deceive you when he came back."

Shangguan Hong had a bitter face, "But this matter is not against the rules. I signed and agreed. Now it's too late to repent, so I can only admit it."

Yang Dasha's voice became louder and louder, Gao Yuan shook his head, "This guy, isn't he just a five hundred soldier, can he be stronger if he has the guts to practice one finger on his own? It seems that I have to deal with him Otherwise, he will be endless in the future."

"This guy, only you can cure him. As I said, he is convincing on the surface, but he is muttering in secret." Shangguan Hong laughed. 【End of this chapter】
