After the meeting, the officials understood the direction of development in the city.
Zhao Yanxun's will was also conveyed to ordinary people layer by layer through the implementation of officials.
So after a few days, the atmosphere in the city changed, and everyone was preparing to leave the city.
The lives of ordinary people have changed, and the soldiers stationed in the city are also training intensively.
The four thousand households of the Bingma Division are stationed at the four gates of Yuanyang, and their training venues are around the station.
Wang Cheng stood on the city wall and looked outside the city wall. The dense zombies had disappeared.
The suspension bridge in the east city was lowered because there were too few zombies outside the city. Even if they beat gongs and drums on the city wall, they would not be able to attract enough zombies to enter the city in one day.
After nearly twenty days of continuous killings, corpses were piled outside the city wall, and a strong smell of decay filled the city wall.
"When I thought about leaving the city before, it was a dead end. How could I have imagined that today would happen!" Wang Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
The most important thing is that it has only been more than two months since the monster outbreak, and they have initially cleared away the zombies outside the city.
Of course, the consequences caused by zombies were extremely serious, and the number of people in Yuanyang City was directly reduced by half.
There are nearly one million people in the Seven Prefectures of Longyou, but I don’t know how many of them will survive.
Looking at the twenty counties of the Jin Dynasty, how many lives will be lost? Wang Cheng doesn't want to think about it anymore.
King Yong came to Longyou, and he was able to protect the common people. Would there be such a generous person in other places?
For a moment, Wang Cheng felt that he was extremely lucky. He could follow Zhao Yanxun, and at least he could find hope in the endless despair.
Just as Wang Cheng was sighing with emotion, he heard the rapid beating of drums from the gate tower, which made his expression suddenly change.
This was the most urgent matter, so Wang Cheng hurriedly ran to the gatehouse, only to see a eunuch standing there, followed by two guards from the palace guard.
This kind of formation was obviously ordered by the king, which made Wang Cheng even more afraid to neglect it.
When he arrived, all the hundreds of households under him had arrived and were standing at the foot of the steps with their waists hunched.
The young eunuch stood on the steps with his hands behind his back and looked at the officers below. The two guards behind him ignored everyone.
"My father-in-law, what's important?" Wang Cheng asked, clasping his fists.
The young father-in-law didn't say much, but looked at the sundial aside. Obviously it wasn't time yet.
Wang Cheng was speechless and could only stand there. He and the eunuch had nothing in common.
Time gradually passed, and when the time came, the young eunuch took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms.
"Edict..."
Good fellow, upon hearing the word "order", Wang Cheng and other officers immediately knelt down in a hurry, ready to listen to the king's order.
"Since receiving the order, in addition to the officers and soldiers on duty at the city gate, all the thousands of households can lead their troops and rush to the Nancheng school field to be inspected!"
Wang Cheng was still confused, but the young eunuch reminded: "Wang Qianhu, time waits for no one... Although your Yongning Gate is closest to the school, it is a moment later than the other Qianhu who received the order!"
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me!"
After thanking him, Wang Cheng turned around and ordered: "Except for those on duty, everyone else left to gather troops and prepare to rush to Nancheng Campus!"
"As you command!"
Wang Cheng knew that this was a test. Xu Hong and Fang Sheng had both experienced it, but he didn't expect that it would finally be his turn.
As he issued the order, hundreds of households immediately took action without daring to waste any more time.
In the previous two tests, Xu Hong's men had not had a good life for a long time due to their poor performance. They did not want to make the same mistake again.
When Wang Cheng began to mobilize troops, the garrison troops from the other three city gates had already completed their assembly in the military camp.
Next, they will march to the Nancheng Campus to welcome the review in the most rigorous military appearance.
The term "inspection" is unfamiliar to everyone, and generally only the emperors before the founding of the People's Republic liked it.
The successor's military virtue was not strong, and coupled with the suppression by civilian officials, there was naturally no possibility of a military parade.
But Zhao Yanxun is different. The power in his hands comes from himself and the army he created.
What's more, he directs and performs his own work, so he doesn't need the endorsement of civil servants, so he's naturally not subject to any restrictions.
The army was gathering and setting off, but Zhao Yanxun was not in a hurry. After all, the big shots always appear last.
At this moment, those surrounding Zhao Yanxun were military officials, mainly officials from Longyou Dusi headed by Chen Anming.
After all, these people had served in the military and had their own set of management experience, so Zhao Yanxun also summoned them for consultation.
The recruitment of soldiers, the enforcement of military laws, and the distribution and dispatch of military supplies were all arranged by Zhao Yanxun.
Recently, Zhao Yanxun wants to set up a special agency to be in charge of military logistics and dispatch. If there are more troops under his command in the future, it will be inconvenient to personally deliver orders every time.
The most important thing is that the establishment of specialized institutional management is conducive to the rational construction of the army.
Again, a person's energy is limited, and it is even more difficult to do it personally if he cannot cover everything.
In the side hall, under the service of the eunuchs, Zhao Yanxun slowly put on his armor.
In the main hall behind him, Chen Anming and other officials from the capital stood bowing in their presence.
"Chen Qing, I asked you to compile a military training code before. How are you preparing now?"
Although Chen Anming is older, his reaction is very quick at this moment. He only heard him reply: "Reporting to the prince, I dare not forget it day and night. I am writing it according to the prince's instructions and it will be completed in a few days!"
The so-called military training code is simply a queue. Zhao Yanxun was deeply influenced by the soldiers in his previous life, so he wanted to develop training codes according to local conditions.
"Complete it as soon as possible. All new recruits in the future must be trained according to the regulations. Only after passing the test can they be assigned to each thousand households!"
"Yes, I will supervise it more after I go down so that it can be submitted to His Highness for review as soon as possible!" Chen Anming replied.
"That's good!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
Soon the armor was put on, and Huo An hung his sword on his waist with his own hands. Zhao Yanxun's dressing was completed today.
Entering the main hall from the side hall, Zhao Yanxun turned around and faced Chen Anming and others, and then asked: "Do you know why the king of Japan is having a military parade today?"
This moment was already boring, so Zhao Yanxun wanted to say a few more words.
He originally thought that these old men were not that flexible, but who knew that someone would reply the next moment.
"Your Highness wants to send troops out of the city to kill monsters, presumably to boost morale!"
Zhao Yanxun nodded, and then said: "Let's go, go to Nancheng with me!"
After saying that, Zhao Yanxun walked out first, and everyone in the hall followed.
This time Zhao Yanxun did not ride in a sedan, but chose to ride a horse, which was more convenient for the military parade.
Sitting on horseback, escorted by the palace guards, Zhao Yanxun rushed all the way to Nancheng.
