Chapter 106 Opening the Flag and Recruiting Soldiers
A night passed, and a rooster crow broke the quiet morning of silver falling to the ground.
This morning was a little different from the previous countless mornings for the residents of Yinluo Town, because when the rooster crowed, the big copper bell in the central square also rang at the same time. The copper bell was hung in the central square.
On one side, as long as it is ringed, it means that everyone can gather here and there is an urgent matter to be announced.
This bronze bell has been ringed many times before, but has never been ringed in the early morning like today.
The bronze bell rang. As long as the residents in the city had to put down everything immediately, they must arrive within an incense stick, otherwise they would be fifty-year-old! This is an iron rule in Yinluo Town.
During the half-incense stick, all the residents gathered here, stumbled their heads and looked around, wondering what happened that they would gather so urgently.
There were several tables and chairs and a large flag in the center of the square. The flag was black-bottomed and gold-edged. A knife with a strange arc was waved on it. The residents of Yinluo Town recognized that the shape of the knife was exactly Xu Lei's battle.
soul.
At this time, they didn’t know what this big banner meant, and they wouldn’t have thought that this big banner would take them to every corner of the continent in the near future!
A moment later, an official from the government office came over, spread a roll of parchment, and announced an order issued by Xu Lei at the top of his voice.
"I have sued all the people of Yinluo Town. Two years ago to the present, the subjects have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace. However, many forces such as the Yas Kingdom in the west, the Nuel Kingdom in the east, and the south, covet our Yinluo Town.
, like a jackal, trying to seize our land and enslave our people, ** Our wife and daughter, I think that I have accumulated grain in the mountains and the people have enough wealth, how can I let others slaughter it? Therefore, I will open a special flag here
Recruiting soldiers, I hope that the people and patriots in the town will join the army and defend their homes. A special decree is issued. All men over 16 and under 55 years of age must serve in military service for five years, share the enemy's enemy and foreign invaders, and protect our homes.
!”
The reason why Xu Lei formulated this decree was that he was worried that the people here would live and work in peace for a long time, and were used to comfortable life, and was afraid that they would not join the army and fight, so he ordered the middle-aged men who were suitable for military service.
However, Xu Lei was too concerned this time. Most of the people here are refugees from all over the world, living a life of poor food and finally having a good day today. When they heard that someone wanted to do something to destroy, they were furious and furious.
Before the official could announce it, he rushed towards the banner waving the demon sword.
"I sign up, grandma, whoever dares to destroy our good days will fight them!" An old man with a skinny and white hair said excitedly with a crutch.
"Uh..." The yamen runner who was responsible for recruiting and using it was a little embarrassed, "That... old man, may I ask you this year's Gui Geng?"
"Ah? I can't hear what you said?"
"Will you be Guigen this year?" The yamen runner increased his voice.
"Ah? What did you say?" It seemed that the old man had a little ear.
"I ask how old you are this year!" The yamen runner almost repeated in a roaring voice.
"Oh." The old man finally heard it clearly, and shook his head and said, "I'm just twenty this year."
"Oh... Old man, you are too young, go play while playing, haha, your family is waiting for you to go home for dinner, haha..."
"Are you here to sign up for the military?" A voice came.
"Well, it's here." The yamen runner had just sent the old man away, and the sweat on his forehead had not yet been wiped away.
"Then I'm the one, I'll use the weapons myself. The kitchen knife in my kitchen can still be used."
“…”
"What's wrong? You don't let me bring your own weapons? I'm not just trying to save money. I'm wrong with saving? Then I won't save anymore. You guys give me weapons!"
"That...save is right, but...Aunt, you'd better go home and cook, your child is still waiting for dinner..."
After finally sending the aunt away, the yamen runner had no time to take a breath, another tender voice came from.
"Uncle, I want to join the army. Although I am only six years old now, I will be sixteen after ten years. You guys take me in advance. Don't look at me as young as I'm young. I can spit their saliva when I go to the battlefield. I spit them.
It's far away. If you don't believe me, then look at it. Bah!...Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you? Why don't you talk? Am I too awesome..."
"Kid, wait a moment, uncle is leaving for a while."
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Uncle, I'm going to find a place where no one is crying for a while."
The opening of the flag and recruiting soldiers was far better than Xu Lei expected. It was originally expected to take two weeks, but in the end it took only three days to complete them all.
Xu Lei was very pleased with this because he had no choice but to join the army voluntarily, one is passive and the other is proactive. What he is willing to do is usually much better than what he is passive.
Although Xu Lei was a little worried that all young and middle-aged people would join the army and let the basic labor be empty and some of them had to be eliminated, the remaining amount was still much larger than Xu Lei had expected in advance.
This time, the recruitment of troops was 4,000 soldiers. Xu Lei divided the 4,000 people into four battalions, named the Wind, the Tiger, the Dragon, and the Wind Thunder. Each battalion was divided into ten guards, each guard was divided into one
Leadered by a captain of the guard.
Soon after, these four battalions changed countless waves of people, but the names of these four battalions resounded throughout the continent. Wherever they went, the enemies were invincible and made great contributions to Xu Lei's future hegemony, but these were all
Let’s not say anything later.
Although there are not many people, Xu Lei strictly divided many types of troops. The Qifeng Camp is mainly cavalry, the Fenghu Camp is mainly heavy-handed, the Fenglei Camp is mainly weapons such as long spears and halberds, and the Fenglei Camp is mainly weapons such as bows and soldiers.
Since Xu Lei got the ancient military strategy from Long Feifei, Xu Lei has never given up studying the ancient military strategy, because he knew that sooner or later it would come in handy. No matter how strong a person is, he is only one person and can command it.
Millions of people are the king.
The ancient military art is an ancient book. In addition to various exquisite tactics, it also includes knowledge such as military training, military cooperation and military governance. The battalion and guard system created by Xu Lei is a type of military art that targets a few soldiers recorded in the ancient military art.
Management methods, such systems are simple and easy to command, and are very suitable for Xu Lei's current situation.
Through two years of development, there are currently many handicrafts and economic talents in Yinluo Town, but there are only a lack of military talents. In their current understanding, soldiers just see the enemy rushing up and then killing them.
Xu Lei knew how to delegate power, but this time he did not leave the right to govern the army, because he knew that the result of doing so would definitely turn the four thousand troops that he had finally obtained into a group of street hooligans wearing armor and holding weapons.
Ling Qingyi helped Xu Lei solve this big problem again at this time. She said to Xu Lei: "The army is the foundation of the country. A country without an army is just a bubble. From today on, you only have to do one thing.
In the matter, devote yourself to training soldiers and bravery, and train an elite soldier in the shortest time to deal with the possible war!”
Xu Lei was a little puzzled and said, "Of course I want to do this, but if this happens, there are so many other things, big and small, that even if I cut me into half, I would be too busy!"
Ling Qingyi looked at Xu Lei with helplessness and suddenly burst into laughter, "Do you have the ability to continue pretending?"
"Ah? Why can't I understand what you said?" Xu Lei looked confused.
Ling Qingyi glared at him, turned his head and left, "Ten!"
Xu Lei hurriedly chased after him, "Don't, I'm going to do it, but I can't do it!" Xu Lei scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and laughed: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you during this period. There are so many big and small sizes in Yinluo Town.
You can only deal with small things."
Ling Qingyi glared at him, "I'm a good plan and I dare to play tricks on me, that's great."
Xu Lei was so anxious that his old face turned red and he quickly explained: "No, no, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to... I just wanted to..."
Xu Lei suddenly didn't know what to say, and secretly regretted why he thought of being clever in this indescribable woman. From the beginning, he thought that he was wholeheartedly governing the army, and all government affairs were handed over to Ling Qingyi to handle.
Because of the man's self-esteem and it is difficult to talk straight away, I beat around the bush, but I didn't expect it to be exposed immediately by the other party.
Looking at Xu Lei's nervous look, Ling Qingyi smiled, "If the others in Yinluo Town knew that Xu Dahero, whom they regarded as gods, would be like a child in front of his woman, he would probably have smiled and said tilted...
”
As soon as Ling Qingyi finished speaking, she suddenly realized what she said was wrong and the air suddenly became quiet.
Xu Lei looked at Ling Qingyi blankly, his heart beating and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. He just heard Ling Qingyi say the words "his own woman". He felt like he was being plucked around him.
Like dry air.
Ling Qingyi Gu Jingbubo's pretty face also flushed at this moment. He wanted to explain something, but when he saw Xu Lei's excited look, he couldn't bear to let him down.
The two stood face to face, Xu Lei stared at Ling Qingyi, but Ling Qingyi did not dare to meet Xu Lei's hot eyes, her eyes wandered around, and her heartbeat was not much slower than Xu Lei.
After a long time, Xu Lei finally plucked up the courage to make up his mind, holding on to the consequences of the sky falling, and wanted to take this opportunity to say the words that had been squeezed into her heart over the years.
With a firm heart and a bite, Xu Lei decided to give up, "Qingyi, I've been talking to you for so many years, but I've always wanted to tell you..."
At this moment, Wang Er's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "No, no, the Erniu from Uncle Wang's house and the tiger girl from Aunt Zhang's house next door started fighting..."
Ling Qingyi quickly made an exaggerated expression and said, "Ah, this is a big deal, I have to go out and take a look." After that, he ran out of the door as if he was running away.
Xu Lei choked his teeth and walked out the door with a slight face. He saw Wang Er with a confused look on his face and said, "Are you very interested in children's fight?"
Wang Eryi looked puzzled, "Are you not interested?"
"Then what did you yell just now!"
"Oh, I've been so idle these two days, I have nothing to do, I'm clamoring to play."
"Okay, you won, Wang Er, do you remember the last time you owe someone usury to cause trouble for me?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" Wang Er was still confused.
"It's okay, I've been having a lot of time these two days and I want to hold you accountable."
