A few days later, the newly built military camp of Xinwei led by Zhao Bao, Yangwenjun, was built in the "Fei" area east of Handan City.

Feiyi, as the name suggests, is the fief of Feiyi of Zhao Xiang.

When he learned that Meng Zhong wanted to build a military camp near Handan a few days ago, Fei Yi made a kind suggestion and invited the Xinwei Army to build a camp near the Zhanghe River in the northeast of his fief, and said jokingly that "his fief can be protected by the way."

After receiving the news that the military camp was completed, Meng Zhong first invited Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, and then, under Zhao Bao's leadership, went to inspect the situation of the new military camp together.

The new military camp is located on the northeast side of Feiyi. On the west side of the "S"-shaped Zhang River, there are many woods nearby and two short hills. The terrain is quite complex and is very suitable for training soldiers. It is precisely for this reason that Meng Zhong accepted Zhao Xiang Feiyi's kindness and set the new camp here.

According to Zhao Bao, the military camp has only built its main business for the time being, with a scale of about a thousand people, and a total of five thousand servants have been mobilized.

However, according to Meng Zhong's visual observation, the size of this camp is far more than a thousand people. The reason is that Zhao Bao also built an auxiliary camp next to the main camp - which was used to settle "no-staff personnel".

The so-called non-staff personnel refer to the non-staff soldiers to which an army belongs. Although these non-staff soldiers who are called soldiers but are actually no different from those of civilians, they will be responsible for the needs and chores of the military camp on weekdays, such as transporting grain, cooking, growing vegetables, and even reclaiming fields.

In the Central Plains, any army stationed in remote areas basically has this model: the soldiers within the organization are trained with peace of mind, while the soldiers outside the organization are responsible for all the needs of the soldiers within the organization.

According to Zhao Bao, this is about a ratio of nearly one to one. Take Meng Zhong’s Xinwei as an example. The organization of 500 Xinwei can obtain about 500 off-partner soldiers. These miscellaneous soldiers are generally composed of Zhao people serving, but they will also be supplemented by a small number of prisoners who are exiled. The difference is that the Zhao people serving can leave after the service period is full, while the prisoners will remain in the army unless they flee or die.

"Thank you Yang Wenjun, thank you Fei Xiang."

After inspecting the newly completed military camp, Meng Zhong said gratefully to Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao.

Although their political positions are somewhat different, it cannot be denied that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is not as difficult to match as the rumors say - of course, this is just Meng Zhong's point of view.

"You don't have to be polite, I also want to see what level you can do..."

Speaking of this, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao glanced sideways at Meng Zhong a few times, and finally couldn't help asking: "You kid... are you really planning to train a group of 'Zhao Wushu'?"

"June is feeling overestimating one's own abilities?" Meng Zhong asked with a smile. In fact, he has heard some news in the past two days, such as Anping Jun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui, who didn't think he could do it, and was waiting to see his joke.

Meng Zhong was actually very puzzled about this: Are you two really idle to this point?

"Oh."

After listening to Meng Zhong's words, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao shook his head and said, "The Wei Wuzhang trained by Wu Qi is actually not incapable of imitating..."

Indeed, although Wu Qi is a famous general, can the Wei Wushu he trained really not be replicated?

Even a hero like Master Zhao’s father can’t follow his example?

This is not the case.

I still remember what Le Yi said a few days ago that the foundation of Wei Wushu was the special treatment of Wei Wushu. Wei clearly stipulated that as long as the family of the people selected as Wushu, the entire household could be exempted from taxes; if it was a Wushu who died in battle, his relatives could still receive pensions allocated by the state every year until the male in the family became an adult.

It is precisely because of this generous pension policy that Wei Wuzhang had no worries on the battlefield.

But what is behind this generous pension policy? That is why the Wei State's economy was dragged down and was dragged down by more and more "Wu Zhu households". What's so bad is that Wei State dared not take back the generous treatment of Wei Wu Zhu.

Therefore, other Central Plains countries, including Zhao, cannot replicate Wei Wushu. Even if they cannot reach the Wuqi period, they can at least do it. But why did other countries not replicate Wei Wushu? It is because they saw the disadvantages of the "Wuzhu system".

Of course, it is not a big problem to get five hundred soldiers to follow Wei Wushu like Meng Zhong today.

"Since I was ordered to train a guard for Zhao Zhufu, I naturally hope to train an excellent one." Meng Zhong replied in a general way.

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao looked up and down at Meng Zhong for a few times, and finally nodded and smiled, without saying anything else.

After returning to Zhao Bao's military camp, Meng Zhong bid farewell to the former and led 500 soldiers to move to their new military camp with Le Yi and his group.

Just as the Xinwei soldiers were rectifying their residences in the new camp, Meng Zhong summoned Le Yi, Meng Sui, Meng Hu and other friends to the commander's office to discuss the issue of military officials with them.

Military responsibilities are different in all countries. Although they are mostly from the "Li of Zhou", they are slightly different and are prone to chaos.

Therefore, Meng Zhong re-planned the army's organization in accordance with the "Tianqu Ri Technique" of Wu Guanzi: five people are one corps, and the corps commander is set; two corps are one corps, and the corps commander is set; five corps are one corps, and the corps commander is set; two corps are one corps, and the corps commander is set (100 generals), and five corps are exactly five hundred.

That is, adopting the "five-two system", Meng Zhong believes that this is the simplest and easier to remember.

Le Yi and others have no objection to this.

After determining the Five Seconds as the army organization, five soldiers will be selected.

However, before this, Meng Zhong ordered Le Yi and Meng Sui to serve as his assistant. After all, Xin Wei's treatment still requires him to discuss with Zhao Xiangfei Yi and other important officials of Zhao State. When he was not in the army, Le Yi and Meng Sui would train his soldiers instead.

Of course, my friends would not have any objection to Le Yi as the "Secretary of the Army". After all, Le Yi's ancestors had famous generals such as Leyang, Leshu, Lechi, and Le Yi was free to read military tactics. As for Mengsui, my friends would not have no objection, after all, they were close to each other.

So, only Wu Ying, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Mu Wu, Xiang Liao, Le Jin, and Le Xu were left, and they would compete for the position of five soldiers.

As for the standard of competition, it is naturally force.

"I quit."

Xiang Liao took the lead in expressing his withdrawal from the competition. After all, he is not good at martial arts among all his people.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong said to Xiang Liao: "A Liao, then you can take charge of the military supplies."

The so-called military supplies, namely logistics officials, are the commanders of the 500 "outsider soldiers". They have to be responsible for a lot of things on weekdays. Meng Zhong believes that Xiang Liao, who has a flexible mind, can naturally be competent.

"Leave it to me." Xiang Liao shrugged and accepted.

So, one more person was added.

He looked at the silent Wu Ying, then looked at Meng Hu, Hua Hu and Mu Wu who were ready to go, and Le Jin and Le Xu looked at each other, and then Le Xu also withdrew.

Le Xu also knew that if he competed in martial arts, he was no match for Wu Ying, Meng Hu, Hua Hu and Mu Wu, so he simply quit.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong appointed him as an army officer, responsible for the custody, maintenance, repair of military equipment, etc.

With Xiang Liao and Lexu withdrawing, Wu Ying, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Mu Wu and Le Jin became five soldiers in the army without permission.

After the discussion, Meng Zhong summoned five hundred Xinwei under his leadership and appointed friends in front of these soldiers.

It has to be said that among Meng Zhongyi Gan and others, there is only Meng Zhong’s prestige at present. The other five hundred soldiers, Le Yi, Meng Sui, Wu Ying and others, did not respect them much. It is no wonder. After all, these soldiers are basically around 20 to 30 years old. Who would willingly obey a group of teenagers who were only fifteen years old?

Even Meng Zhong was able to make these 500 soldiers obey his orders with his eloquence, his method of "building a tree in the camp gate", as well as the five thousand cloth coins given to Zhao Zhufu and various promises.

"First try to gain the trust of the soldiers."

Meng Zhong said to the five commanders of Wu Ying, Meng Hu, Hua Hu, Mu Wu and Le Jin. After all, the five of them are actually the most critical. Only by convinced by the soldiers, Le Yi and Meng Sui’s training can be carried out more smoothly.

On October 23, the Xinwei Army began the first day of training in this new camp.

The exercise is very simple, and it is still to strengthen physical training. To put it bluntly, each soldier is still to run outside the camp with a log.

During this period, Meng Zhong took Xiang Liao back to Handan and discussed with Zhao Xiangfeiyi about the daily needs and food and food of the Xinwei Army.

I have to say that Fei Yi was also quite troubled by Meng Zhong's request to "eat meat every meal".

Although Fei Yi can understand Meng Zhong - after all, Meng Zhong wants to train a elite soldier. Under such strict training, it is natural for the soldiers to eat meat every meal, otherwise the nutrition will not keep up with the physical consumption, but the problem is that such a expense is really not small, let alone Meng Zhong also needs to ask for additional food and salary.

Fei Yi calculated it privately. If the expenses of supporting 500 Xinwei troops as Meng Zhong asked, he might be able to support an army of three or four thousand people.

However, considering that Xinwei was Zhao's father's guard, Fei Yi finally agreed.

So Meng Zhong left Xiang Liao and Fei Yi to discuss specific regulations, such as the transportation of food and grass every few days, and Meng Zhong himself returned to the military camp.

What surprised Meng Zhong was that after he returned to the military camp, he found that Feng Guanzi was actually sitting in his handsome tent waiting for him.

"Is it only the senior? Where is Brother Pang Chi?"

When attending the ceremony, Meng Zhong asked Wu Guanzi curiously.

When Feng Guanzi heard this, he smiled and said, "Zhao Master's father ordered Pang Yan to train an army, and Pang Yan went to work."

To be fair, Meng Zhong had expected this early on.

Because in his opinion, Zhao Zhufu, who was determined to re-cultivate his trusted forces, could not place all his hopes on his 500 guards, and would definitely appoint others to train the new army.

But even though she knew this, Meng Zhong was still a little disappointed.

However, when I thought about it, the stronger the strength of Zhao Zhufu's family, the more stable the relationship between Zhao and Song, and the disappointments in Meng Zhong's heart disappeared.

He smiled and said to Wu Guanzi, "So, my future competitor of Xinwei is the new army trained by Brother Pang Qian?"

"Hahaha."
