After October, the farming work was completed and drills began in various places, whether it was government soldiers, recruited soldiers or peasant soldiers.
As usual, Shao Xun led his troops, Yinqiang Zhongying and Wansheng Army 3rd Battalion to hunt in the mountains to the west of Pingyang.
Chiefs from Hedong, Pingyang, Xihe, Kelan, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other counties also took hundreds of people to participate.
Between hunts, there is military training.
Shao Xun personally awarded a bolt of silk as a reward to the 6,000 soldiers in Silver Spear Camp.
Zhang Shuo watched from a distance as Shao Xun was chatting and laughing among the soldiers in the military academy, and was silent for a long time.
This is the unit that Master Shao has single-handedly built. He often gives gifts personally during holidays and festivals. He can even call out the names of many generals and veterans, which makes them excited.
He has been the camp commander for so many years, and the sergeants usually give orders and prohibitions, but if you ask them to choose one, there is no doubt about the answer.
Master Shao didn't care much about the government troops. He just grabbed the silver spear and the black army. This was his army and he had absolute authority.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhang Shuo has any objections. He will not and is not willing to rebel. He has never had such an idea.
This is just a normal person's psychology. Even when Master Shao holds Deputy Governor Zhao Wei's hand and talks to Yan Yuese, he always feels a little sour in his heart.
Zhao Wei is from Chang'an. He was eleven years old when he first came to Liang County. He was one of the 168 Chang'an student soldiers in the first year of Yongjia (308).
After completing his five-year studies, he has been in the army for thirteen years, starting as a team deputy and participating in many wars.
Because of his outstanding ability, he can even climb faster than many people in the previous four periods, and he is already the Lieutenant Commander of the Silver Spear Center Camp.
His wife, Mrs. Liu, was the granddaughter of Liu Shan, the uncle of King Liang. Her background was beyond his comparison.
After talking to Zhao Wei, Shao Xun casually guided the training for a while, then walked over, called Zhang Shuo, and stopped on a hillside.
"How's it going at home?" Shao Xun asked.
Zhang Shuo trembled and said: "Master Shao, I..."
"What's wrong?" Shao Xun smiled, patted the student on the shoulder and said, "The new wife is not satisfied?"
"No." Zhang Shuo held it in for a long time and could only manage to utter these two words.
"You love scholar-women, and I also love scholar-women. They are well-educated, gentle, virtuous, good-looking, and have a sharp eye. They know how to take care of your mood." Shao Xun said: "What's your original name?"
"Zhang Daniu."
"How did you marry the daughter of the Wang family of Donghai?"
"After becoming the Commander-in-Chief of the Silver Spear."
"Isn't that right?" Shao Xun said: "If you were still Zhang Daniu, would they marry you? They don't even look down on me in their hearts, but will they look down on you?"
Zhang Shuo's face turned red.
"Since you have married a bride, you should treat others well." Shao Xun said with a smile: "Others are still envious of you."
Shao Xun accepted the first batch of Donghai Wushu students in the second year of Tai'an (302), a total of 116 people.
There was nothing to do next year. In the first year of Yongxing (304), the second batch of martial arts students from Luoyang were admitted, totaling 104 people.
In the second year of Yongxing (305), there were 127 Taiyuan martial arts students.
In the first year of Guangxi (306), there were 155 martial arts students from Liangjun.
In the first year of Yongjia (307), there were 168 Chang'an martial arts students.
The people who are currently working in the Third Battalion of Silver Spear, the Second Battalion of Heijian and local counties and counties are basically students from this fifth class.
When they enter school, they range from seven or eight years old to fifteen or sixteen years old, but most of them are in the 11-13 age group.
Shao Xun did not become General Pingdong until the fifth year of Yongjia (311). Before that, he was stationed in Liang County and Xiangcheng.
When these five groups of students got married and started their careers, the wives they married were either relatively outstanding-looking folk girls from Zhuwubao in Yiyang, or they married wives in Luonan counties and Xiangcheng County. Because of their low status, there were basically no wives.
According to family background, there are only a handful of poor ladies from poor families, such as Kim Jong's wife Li. After Xiao Jin married a wife, he even had to take care of the members of his wife's family, otherwise they might not be able to eat.
Many of these groups of people died in previous battles, and those who survived were basically backbone officers in the recruitment system, or local governors, county magistrates, and shogunate aides.
Their status is not low now.
After getting promoted and making a fortune, are you satisfied with your previous wife? Not necessarily.
Do you have the urge to change your wife? More or less, yes.
Everyone loves ladies, not only as Shao Xun said, they are beautiful, educated, and good at taking care of the family business, but also have the custom accumulated over the past three hundred years.
This is a characteristic of the times, a social trend, and is rooted in everyone's heart.
But changing a wife is not that easy. Most people are unwilling or dare not because of torture of conscience, pressure from public opinion, blocked future and other factors. But what if his wife dies?
Why else would there be a saying in later generations that the three greatest joys for a middle-aged man are to be promoted, to make a fortune, and to die of his wife?
Zhang Shuo's wife died, so he immediately married the daughter of the Wang family of Donghai. This is why Shao Xun said that many people envied him.
This is the case for this group of people. Except for a few lucky ones, it is impossible for most of them to marry into the gentry.
But they are generally in their thirties, and the older children are in their teens and have reached the age to marry.
In fact, there have been several cases in the past two or three years, mainly involving the first batch of Donghai students.
With their current status, it is difficult for high-level nobles to marry, but marriage with middle- and low-level nobles is possible.
The first batch of martial arts students probably had dozens of marriages between their children, and most of them were married to each other.
Before going to the battlefield, everyone made an appointment with those who survived to help take care of each other's families. Many people simply arranged baby marriages for their children to deepen the relationship between them, but it was not without marriage with the noble family.
This is the second generation, which is okay.
In the third generation, the number of people marrying nobles will increase significantly.
In fact, this is not a big deal, and Shao Xun has no intention of guarding it tightly.
Historically, with the rise of military groups in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, marriages with noble families were common. However, marriages were marriages, and military groups still stood there and were not annexed by the noble families.
Some groups don't look at your origin, but which side you stand on. If the children of military generals work in civil service, they will side with the nobles in the future.
If a son of a noble family joins the army and starts his career with military exploits, then he is a military aristocrat.
The two groups have different ways of obtaining benefits, and there may even be disputes and conflicts. It has little to do with where you are from.
Shao Xun wants to reform now, but the overall strength of the Wuren Group is still relatively weak, so he is more wary of this kind of behavior. When his descendants come to power, there will be no need to be so strict.
Things develop dynamically, so don't look at them from a static perspective. This is his consistent view.
"Don't forget where your roots are." Shao Xun looked at his student and said: "You are worthless in the eyes of some people if you leave the comrades you have been with day and night. It is precisely because you are still a warrior and my disciple.
, you can only be valuable if you can also receive a silver spear in the camp, don't put the cart before the horse."
"Yes." Zhang Shuo lowered his head and responded.
"Practice your troops well." Shao Xun waved his hand and said, "They are still waiting for you."
Zhang Shuo bowed and went down the mountain.
Shao Xun stood on the hillside and had a panoramic view of the entire valley.
The eldest son, Jin Dao, and the second son, Badger Lang, rode back with prey hanging under their saddles. It looked like they had not left anything empty.
His son has been studying literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he has basic skills, and he can even be considered good.
Although the fourteen-year-old third son Nianliu looked dashing in his hunting attire, he failed to catch the prey and was a little ugly following behind his two brothers.
The warriors all saw it, and although it was impossible to discuss it on a large scale, people who knew each other would probably exchange views in private.
It is impossible for all of his sons to become successful.
Their lives are still very long, and they need to go through various hardships, accumulate experience, insights, insights, and learn various methods.
"Xiaoque, come back!" Fu Bao, dressed in red, galloped past.
A golden eagle fell from the sky and landed on the leather sheath on her left arm.
There were two hares hanging under Fu Bao's saddle, obviously something had been gained.
After taking the golden eagle, he let out a string of laughter like silver bells and rode away.
Shao Xun laughed and cursed.
At this moment, the sixteen-year-old Fu Bao became the white moonlight in the hearts of many martial arts disciples.
The tiger head walked at the back.
At the age of eleven, he has not yet reached the time for secondary growth, but his body shape has begun to take shape.
Wang Yan said that he "could not let go of the scrolls" and was "well-versed in classics and history", but Shao Xun didn't notice it anyway.
He is good at reading, but he is active by nature and prefers martial arts and military strategy.
Compared with Jin Dao and Badger Lang, Wen's temperament is less and his martial style is stronger.
Wang Jingfeng, that silly girl, tried to boast about this, but Wang Yan took the opportunity to scold her.
Lao Deng is trying to build Hu Tou's reputation as a man of learning, talent, and magnanimity. What do you do for me? Are you sure you're not trying to cause trouble?
However, in Shao Xun's view, bragging is useless.
Wang Yifu should not blow up the tiger head into the perfect image in his mind, but should make appropriate modifications and beautification based on the tiger head's own talents.
Hutou actually had a very good relationship with his eldest son Liang Nu.
Perhaps this has a lot to do with the close relationship between the Wang sisters and Yu Wenjun.
Hutou is eleven years old and Liang Nu is nine years old. They have played together since they were young, and they still often read, eat and play together.
Wang Yan used so much force, but in the end it was probably of no use.
No one knows Shao Xun's attitude towards top aristocratic families better than the Wang sisters.
Shao Xun quickly went down the hillside.
The chiefs of various tribes were directing people to set up tents and clean the prey. When they saw Shao Xun, they all fell to the ground.
"Next year, follow me to Shengle for hunting." Shao Xun supported everyone with his hands and asked everyone to stand up.
"I heard that there are a lot of yellow sheep in Shengle, so I will definitely follow the king." Qiao Zhong, the chieftain of Taiyuan, was the first to express his stance.
"After autumn, there are yellow clouds and white grass outside the Great Wall. It is most enjoyable to ride horses and hunt here." Liu Zhao, the prefect of Kelan, took a step slowly and said quickly.
After these two people expressed their opinions, others rushed to talk about the wonderful things about hunting in Shengle, Wuyuan and even Shuofang.
Shao Xun laughed heartily, then sat cross-legged, ordered his troops to get wine, and drank with all the barbarians.
Dealing with them is actually quite tiring.
But Shao Xun is a ruthless political machine. Sometimes he has no self-discipline, and sometimes he is terribly self-disciplined.
Moreover, the power of the Hu people is too huge, so it is necessary to be conceited and coercive, and to try to win them over.
Halfway through the wine, a military report came from the south: Le Kai besieged Xiangyang for more than two months, but failed. When he retreated, Xun Song and Tao Kan pursued him. All the baggage was lost, and only the people escaped.
He was quite satisfied with this result.
It would be strange if Xiangyang is so easy to fight.
Lekai has been in Nanyang for many years, and his abilities have indeed improved to a certain extent. As long as he is still there, at most he will be reorganized in a year or two and then fight again.
Shao Xun's goal is always in the north.
