Liu Qi and Deng Zhi led thousands of troops toward the city gate majestically, with the flag "Liu" behind them fluttering in the wind. The red flag embroidered with yellow borders was extremely eye-catching in the sun. The soldiers shouted, "Young Master is mighty, a strong army will win."
"The slogan was so breathtaking that the citizens who rushed to the city gate and queued up to receive official rations separated like flowing water to make way for a passage.
At the gate of Echeng City, several young local tycoons who had been recruited had prepared tables, chairs, benches and rosters at the gate, waiting for the arrival of the county magistrate Liu Qi. Liu Qi praised the local tycoons for their noble style and immediately ordered Deng Zhi to sit on the imperial chair to register and come to collect the goods.
Official household registration number.
Since Chen Wen had opened the warehouse to store grain, and it would take a while and a half before the grain could be delivered, Deng Zhi registered the family status of the people and tenants who came to line up one by one, and no fraud was allowed.
City residents who have registered their household registration, respecting the official authority of the county magistrate Liu Qi, will not under-report. It is obvious that if they under-register, they will receive less food. Of course, city residents do not dare to over-register the population. If they over-register, they will be arrested.
, and will even be tortured by the government.
The people of Echeng who had registered their family members were waiting at the city gate to receive grain. Not long after, Chen Wen led teams of officers and soldiers to escort batches of carriages carrying grain and grass to the city gate. The people suddenly became excited.
, County Magistrate Liu Qi’s move to open a warehouse to release grain was a sign of sincere love for the people.
For the sake of fairness, Liu Qi made a temporary rule for opening grain warehouses: how much rice should be given to the elderly, how much rice should be given to children, and how much rice should be given to young adults. Every household should have enough rice for the winter, and smiles gradually appeared on the sallow faces of the people.
Liu Qi was busy opening warehouses to store grain, and didn't even have time to eat lunch. He only drank some snow water and ate a few pieces of dry and cold bread in his free time. Some people couldn't stand it, so they hurried home and cooked a few eggs for the New Year.
It was wrapped in a rag jacket and presented to Liu Qi to eat. He shed tears and praised the young master Liu Qi as the real patron saint of the people.
What good people, if you truly love and protect the people, they will truly love and support you. Liu Qi felt the simple heart of the people.
After one day of opening a warehouse to release grain, Liu Qi won the hearts and minds of the people in Echeng.
That night, Liu Qi, who captured Echeng, did not return to Xinye County. He carefully deployed defenses and firmly controlled Echeng. He also secretly executed several gangsters who had not been wiped out and refused to surrender at night, leaving Echeng without any bullies.
Do evil.
On the second day after the capture of Echeng, smoke could be seen in every house in Echeng, and the streets were bustling with life.
Liu Qi and Deng Zhi visited several residents and moved hundreds of poor families whose houses were severely damaged to live in the first mansion house for the winter, making the prestige of the young master Liu Qi at its peak.
On the third day, after the efforts of Chen Wu and Ding Si, as well as the clear weather for three days, the snow on the passage between Echeng and the county seat has been cleared. People and horses often travel between the two cities. The local tycoons recruited from Echeng gathered in Xinye County to report on their work.
When Liu Qi returned to the county government, colorful flags were fluttering in the main city of Xinye. The local tycoons who had been deprived of military power and had no soldiers, rushed to the county government early to discuss matters. The major result of the discussion was that all the local tycoons who had been recruited were dismissed from their official positions.
And the land in the hands of local tyrants was confiscated and rented to tenants at low prices.
Although local tycoon Zhang Ermazi's injury has not healed, he seems to be in good spirits. Liu Qi did not break his promise. Zhang Ermazi found a position as a master under the sect of the young master Liu Qi. He sat in the court next to Liu Qi in the middle, which made him look very majestic.
.
Zhang Er Mazi's housekeeper Ding Si found a clerical position and still served his old boss Zhang Er Mazi; the local tycoon Li Da was appointed to engage in civil affairs, and other local tycoons, big and small, also had official positions.
The rich people who did not have land were happy and relaxed, and the people who had land were happy from ear to ear. For a time, Xinye County was peaceful and peaceful, and everyone looked forward to a warm New Year with food and clothing under the protection of Liu Qi, the prince of Xinye.
The local tyrants had been recruited and the people had been appeased. Liu Qi was not immersed in the joy of defeating the local tyrants, but instead stepped up the training of officers and soldiers, consolidated city defenses, and repaired water conservancy in the winter.
Liu Qi ordered Wen Dai to build a large bamboo tent with a thousand monkey soldiers outside the county government to protect them from the wind and cold, and took the ape generals and monkey generals with him to train the monkey soldiers in the field.
On the surface, Chen Wenming conducted a census of Xinye County and surveyed the living conditions of urban residents, but secretly carried out recruitment work. By the beginning of the lunar spring in 191 AD, he successfully recruited 4,000 soldiers, resulting in Liu Qi's command of more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, including
Ten thousand soldiers and one thousand monkey soldiers.
With over 10,000 troops in the small Xinye City, Liu Qi's strength is quite impressive, and Liu Qi's prestige in Xinye City is at its peak.
After the beginning of spring, Liu Qi mobilized the military to jointly plant a variety of cash crops, and at the same time used the abundant materials seized from overthrowing the local tyrants to carry out a large-scale construction project. He not only strengthened the city defense, but also divided areas to build low-rent housing to connect Echeng to the county seat.
Build an ancient city that is bigger and more prosperous than Xiangyang.
Liu Qi's power in Xinye is growing day by day, but strangely, there has been no news from Xiangyang. It is not known whether Jiang Wan, who was sworn in Guiyuan, Dangyang, has arrived in Xiangyang, nor is it known about the housekeeper Liu Zhong's demolition of the mansion and the construction of a temple in Xiangyang.
How is the progress? It has been more than half a year since he left Xiangyang, but Liu Qi has not left Xinye. Xiangyang has become an indescribable "pain" for Liu Qi.
It's not that Liu Qi doesn't want to return to Xiangyang, it's just that Xinye has so many official duties that he really can't do without him for a while. Now Liu Qi is in charge of 10,000 soldiers, 200,000 citizens, and Xinye County with a radius of 500 miles, which can be said to be busier than the Prime Minister.
Liu Qi, who has traveled through the special forces, is determined to endure it for more than half a year. While ensuring that the people in the county live and work in peace and contentment, he will train a special force from the Three Kingdoms.
One day, Liu Qi summoned his staff to his tent. His expression was solemn, and his tone and address changed slightly: "My dear generals, I have been in Xinye for more than half a year. It is only with your help that 200,000 people in Xinye have food.
Food, clothing, fields, and military recruitment. In other words, only when the people live and work in peace and contentment can the world have stability and happiness. As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace——"
When Liu Qi talked about being prepared for danger in times of peace, he paused for a moment, but saw that Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Zhang Ermazi and other soldiers listened carefully and were quite satisfied. Then he said: "Although Xinye is safe, banditry continues in the surrounding counties.
I am often worried about this. In view of this, I want to select one from a hundred soldiers. I want to select one hundred soldiers from ten thousand soldiers who are in excellent physique, brave and warlike, and quick-witted. They will be trained into omnipotent and devil-like special officers and soldiers, and become a special force.
A particularly powerful army that can reach a hundred, if deployed to launch a thunderous attack in battle, will definitely win every battle, what do the generals think?"
Chen Wu immediately answered: "I agree, sir, it's a good idea. If you pick one out of ten thousand officers and soldiers, then one can block ten, and each time you come and go, you will only increase the strength of ten thousand officers and soldiers. Why not do it?"
Deng Zhi also nodded and said: "I agree, but we can work out a way to select one from a hundred thousand officers and soldiers."
Usually, Chen Wu and Deng Zhi always had different opinions. Now, it was rare for them to agree on Prince Liu Qi's formation of special forces. Chen Wu smiled broadly and said, "Let's discuss some solution. Rock-paper-scissors will do."
That’s it.”
"Hahaha..." Zhang Ermazi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He didn't expect that Chen Wu, Liu Qi's most capable general, would be so ignorant but interesting.
Speaking of rock-paper-scissors, ever since Chen Wu and Deng Zhi were arguing about the first bamboo ladder to climb the city tower during the snowy night attack on Echeng, and Liu Qi proposed rock-paper-scissors to resolve the dispute, this ancient intellectual competition guessing game has been
It flourished under Liu Qi’s initiative.
Seeing that Zhang Ermazi seemed to have something to say, Liu Qi asked, "Master Zhang, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Ermazi raised his hand and said in a loud voice: "Master Qi, I have some ideas. With thousands of troops, there is always a fast horse, and even a thousand-mile horse. The master wants to select soldiers from a hundred miles to build a strong army. It is a good idea. I think it can be done.
Establish some rules for the competition, conduct a full-army competition and practice, and bring in various skills such as bow and arrow, assassination, horseback riding, etc. In the end, you can always select a hundred-man special force that is proficient in everything and has a murderous spirit.
."
Liu Qi said: "I wonder what kind of selection rules Master Zhang can set?"
Zhang Ermazi was not modest, he patted his chest and said: "Master, if I decide, among the ten thousand troops, the one who can walk through the Yangtze with a hundred steps will be shortlisted, the one who can knock down the opponent in wrestling will be shortlisted, the one who rides fast will be shortlisted, the one who can lift two hundred kilograms will be shortlisted, and the winner will be the winner."
The candidates will be shortlisted... Wait, set up more competition subjects, eliminate them again and again, and the remaining ones will be able to select hundreds of civil and military champions."
"Well, Master Zhang will be responsible for selecting elite soldiers. General Wu will train them. General Dai will provide them with good wine and meat. They will be selected on ten days and trained on twenty days. I will come to train them in person after one month." Liu Qi said.
He pulled out a command arrow and threw it to Zhang Ermazi.
Zhang Ermazi took the order arrow and left in a hurry with Chen Wu, and couldn't wait to go to the barracks to organize a competition to select special forces.
…
One day, Liu Qi came to the school where one hundred elite soldiers were trained by Zhang Ermazi to see how Zhang Ermazi trained special forces.
Training special forces is not easy. Liu Qi, who traveled through time with special forces, naturally knows how to train a special forces. However, the training methods of special forces in the cold weapon era are definitely different from the training methods of later generations in the hot weapon era.
The training of later generations of special forces mainly involves physical training. Physical training is generally divided into two parts, one is daily physical training, and the other is special physical training. Normal physical training refers to soldiers who are organized by squad leaders or spontaneously perform it in scattered time
Training to strengthen physical fitness is not a training uniformly organized by the company. But no matter who organizes the training, they must always respect the laws of scientific training.
How are special forces created? A special force must receive training from ordinary soldiers. After serving for a period of time, they will be selected. The general events include cross-country running, survival training, diving training, close combat training, team training, shooting training, etc. The winner will be selected.
Become a candidate, and then go through elimination and selection, and the winner will become an official member.
Those with special abilities enter corresponding schools, such as sniper schools. This is how SEALs are generally selected, and their training is repeated.
Liu Qi, who traveled through time with special forces, was determined to build a powerful special forces in the cold weapon era in the Eastern Han Dynasty to change the fate of the Three Kingdoms.
