I want to be emperor

Chapter 83
Ever since he was taken to a barracks by his own chief, Gao Zheng originally thought he could finally have a good rest, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the barracks, he was greeted by this chief who was not as tall as him but was extremely strong. The teacher memorized the rules over and over again.

"No spitting anywhere."

"Don't litter everywhere."

"Salute when you see the officer."

"Where there are many people, such as eating and taking a bath, you need to queue up."

"No noise is allowed at bedtime every day."

"Get up on time every morning."

Hearing all kinds of messy rules makes his head grow taller...

But I can't stop, because as Shi Chang said, the first three days are the time to learn the rules. If you make a mistake, you will only be punished for standing, running and other small punishments.

But after three days, if you make a mistake, you will be put in confinement, you will be beaten with a military stick, and those who commit repeated crimes will be beheaded.

If you don't listen to orders during the battle, you will be killed immediately!

In short, when Gao Zheng listened to the chief talk about various military regulations, he had heard the word vertical chop at least [-] or [-] times... This means that there are dozens of military regulations that, once triggered, will directly result in vertical chopping.

This has to make Gao Zheng sigh, it is not so easy to serve as a soldier to eat food, it is not enough to be willing to risk your life, and you have to abide by various rules.

When Gao Zheng entered the Songshan Village Recruit Battalion and began to receive recruit training, Luo Zhixue on the other side was listening to Er Yongduo's report.

The recruitment and training of recruits is temporarily in the charge of the staff department. Er Yongduo, the head of the staff department, will naturally report to Luo Zhixue on the recruitment and training of recruits.

"During this period of time, we have sent several recruiting teams, mainly to some villages in the eastern outskirts and some villages near Dashanli. A total of 530 recruits have been recruited successively. We plan to send people south in the future, in Nanzhao County near Dashan. Some villages in the north are recruiting recruits, and it is estimated that about 500 more people will be recruited."

"Strive to fully book the recruitment of 1000 people within half a month."

While talking, An Yongduo handed the report written by his staff to Luo Zhixue.

Luo Zhixue glanced briefly and said: "You have done a good job in recruiting and training. Complete the recruitment and training of recruits as soon as possible, and strive to complete the training of new troops within three months to form initial combat effectiveness."

"During training, the ratio of musketeers to spearmen is kept at one to one. Some recruits with special skills can be trained as archers, sword and shield players, and cavalry."

Ernst and Young said: "The subordinate understands."

Luo Zhixue closed the recruit report, then stood up and prepared to pour tea for himself, and said at the same time: "Is the army ready for the expedition?"

Without waiting for Luo Zhixue to do it himself, An Yongduo picked up the teapot and poured tea for Luo Zhixue, and at the same time replied: "The first sentry, second sentry, third sentry and fifth sentry, artillery sentry and cavalry sentry are expected to go out. The forces of the sentry post and the heavy post post have gathered at the Songshan defense line and the camp at the entrance of the village, and the personnel and equipment are all ready."

"The fourth post is to stay behind in Songshan Village."

"The supplies at the logistics office are sufficient, but the carriages and mules and horses for transportation are still a little short. It is estimated that it will take two days to prepare them."

Luo Zhixue said: "Two days, it's not too late, you pass on the word, let all departments get ready, we will leave the mountain in two days."

"You should also pay attention to arrange sentries outside the mountain. If there are officers and soldiers going south from Ruzhou or north from Nanyang, I want to know the movements of the officers and soldiers as soon as possible."

Ernst and Young said: "General, don't worry, I have sent out multiple groups of sentries in advance to monitor the surrounding situation day and night. Once there is any change in the Ming army, we will know it as soon as possible."

Luo Zhixue nodded slightly: "That's fine, that's fine, let's do this for today, you can go to work too!"

Er Yongduo was also a busy man. After coming out of Luo Zhixue's side, he went straight to the Songshan defense line non-stop to check the combat readiness of the first post and other troops stationed here.

Returning to Songshan Village later, it was another night of night battles with the people in the logistics department to finalize the final transportation plan for food, grass and ammunition.

Luo Zhixue himself has been relatively relaxed in the past two days. Most of the time he listens to various reports and gives instructions. In his spare time, he spends his free time looking at the crude map drawn by hand.

This simple hand-drawn map is far from accurate. It was surveyed and mapped by members of the Luo Zhi School successively. However, people in these days lack the necessary surveying and mapping skills, so the maps produced by surveying and drawing have many errors.

Luo Zhixue had no choice but to make do with it.

No matter what, it is much better than the original freehand ink painting...

In the evening of the next day, Luo Zhixue once again called a meeting of all the people under his command, this time it was a gathering of civil and military officials, with generals on one side and civil officials on the other.

Guo Quanshu also participated in this meeting as the main person in charge of the Grain Collection Department, and then he saw Huang Guangmao...

Seeing Huang Guangmao wearing the gray military uniform of the Baoxiang Battalion, Guo Quanshu showed a trace of disdain.

How could the beautiful woman be a thief!

He had met Huang Guangmao before. Of course, he didn't like Huang Guangmao very much, because when Huang Guangmao went to the mountains to suppress bandits, he also went to Guojia Village and collected a batch of grain from Huang's family.

After Guo Quanshu entered the mountains to serve these rebels, he also heard that Huang Guangmao's entire army was wiped out and even surrendered to the thieves. At that time, he was quite shameless towards Huang Guangmao.

As the commander of an army, he did not die on the battlefield when he was defeated, nor did he commit suicide to serve the country, instead he was captured and captured.

Forget it, but he still turned to the bandits, and now he is wearing the military uniform of the bandits.

This is an unfaithful person.

As for himself, he is not a military officer of the imperial court, and he can't talk about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. After all, he is just an ordinary person, and it is normal for him to be forced to copy and write under the coercion of the rebels.

Guo Quanshu's disdain was well concealed, at least no one else noticed, he just quietly listened to Luo Zhixue talking above.

Today's meeting was not about arranging any tasks, let alone discussing any plans, it was purely a pre-war mobilization meeting, Luo Zhixue said a lot of messy things to boost morale.

After Luo Zhixue finished speaking, the heads of other ministries slapped their chests one after another, swearing that they would lead the troops to fight well and do a good job in logistics.

When it was Guo Quanshu's turn, Guo Quanshu looked serious: "My food collection office has been properly prepared, and I will definitely complete the tasks of loot boarding, grain collection, etc., and I will live up to the general's entrustment."

This time when the army is going on an expedition, the grain requisition office will send a grain requisition team with Guo Quanshu as the person in charge, and follow the army to collect all kinds of trophies on board.

After the mobilization meeting in the evening, Luo Zhixue suffered from insomnia that night. His mind was always thinking about tomorrow's expedition and the follow-up combat matters, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.

And after falling asleep, I had several messy dreams, and although these dreams were all messy, they were basically scenes of others chasing him to kill...

One dream was that after he had a battle with the officers and soldiers, he was forced to flee after the army was defeated, and the officers and soldiers chased him all the way behind him...

It was normal to dream here, and then he broke into an ancient city while running, and then led a group of people who ran out from nowhere to ransack the local food store...

He ran and ran carrying rice all the way, and a group of officers and soldiers were chasing after him...

As he was running, he ran into another family. After he ran in, the person was quite normal at first, but after a while, the mistress of this family turned into a ghost and wanted to eat him...

He ran and ran again... Finally, on a piece of wilderness, a little boy carrying a bazooka appeared in front of him.

The little boy showed an innocent smile at Luo Zhixue and then fired a rocket...

After being hit by a rocket, Luo Zhixue also found that this little boy was still himself when he was a child...

This series of dreams made Luo Zhixue a little confused after waking up in the morning.

In his dream, he was bombarded to death by his childhood self...

What a mess of dreams.

Because he didn't sleep well all night, Luo Zhixue didn't look very energetic when he woke up in the morning, but today is a big day for the expedition.

Naturally, Luo Zhixue couldn't meet people with such a shrunken expression.

He called the soldiers to start grooming, and after a simple breakfast, he began to put on his military uniform.

This is a set of current standard military uniforms in the Baoxiang camp. The general style is the same as that of Wang Xiazi and An Yongduo. They are all improved on the basis of the Ming army's traditional right lap top and bottom trousers. Wearing a thick cloak.

But the color is different from the gray of the soldiers. The overall color of the officer's uniform is navy blue, with better materials and more sophisticated production.

In addition to his clothes, he put on a cashmere round hat for warmth, a pair of black leather gloves, and a pair of long riding boots.

After he finished dressing, he walked out of the inner room to the hall outside. At this time, Er Yongduo and others were already waiting in the hall.

Luo Zhixue nodded slightly towards everyone: "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he went out first, then stepped on a war horse led by his own soldiers, and led dozens of people behind him to the camp at the entrance of the village.

After arriving at the camp, Luo Zhixue saw that the Fifth Sentinel and other troops had already lined up. He held a simple departure ceremony and set off directly with hundreds of troops.

After arriving at the Songshan defense line, the rural protection battalion from Songshan merged with Lin Dongsheng's first sentry, Zhang Malin's artillery sentry and other troops and continued southward.

However, they didn't go all the way south. Instead, they crossed Songshan Mountain and went south for seven or eight miles before turning eastward.

In the future, they will move east along the hilly areas around these mountains until they reach Songjiazhuang.

Luo Zhixue marched eastward with a large army of infantry, artillery, heavy soldiers, and hundreds of civilians. The regular army alone had more than 700 soldiers, in addition to more than 400 civilians accompanying the army, and dozens of carriages.

Its scale is larger than that of the officers and soldiers of the Ming army who went into the mountains to suppress the bandits, and its momentum is naturally not small.

In addition, there are only a few roads in and out of the mountain, and it is impossible for Luo Zhixue to allow the troops to travel lightly, so outsiders have noticed it not long after going east.

Soon someone spread the news that a large number of thieves had come out of Funiu Mountain to Lushan County.

Xie Liangcai, who had just taken over as the magistrate of Lushan County for less than a month, almost lost his footing when he learned that at least one thousand or even two or three thousand rebels had been killed from Funiu Mountain...
