The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 57
The heavenly soldiers wielded steel clubs, while the two hundred reserve militiamen held hatchets or kitchen knives enchanted with tetanus and hoes. There was currently no land to farm, and Liu Zhenhua was already prepared not to farm until he became emperor. , with his white porridge and pickled mustard on weekdays, plus the food captured through war support, it can also support the expanded team expenses.

Therefore, the militia team is full, and almost all the young and capable people are there.

The terrain of Zhangjia Village is much more even than that of the old village hidden in the ravine. Although there are many soldiers, there are enough training grounds.

In order to encourage these people to train enthusiastically, Liu Zhenhua also gave each militiaman two meals a day. Of course, it was glutinous rice porridge made from the grain of the landlords. However, the people were already very content. In this regard, it has to be said that Liu Zhenhua gave each person two meals a day. The move of Tianbing making porridge and pickled mustard was brilliant.

Once a person has a better life that he can see and within reach, he will not care about the hardships in front of him and work hard towards that place.

These militiamen watched the Heavenly Soldiers eating porridge and pickled mustard every day, and their hearts were full of how to be promoted to Heavenly Soldiers.

Now that the number of soldiers is beginning to increase, Liu Zhenhua is taking charge of the overall situation, and there must be someone below to serve as the tentacle node.

There are two hundred heavenly soldiers, ten in a squad, one of whom is the squad leader, 50 in a platoon, with a platoon leader, and one hundred in a company, with a company commander.

The ancient military organization is actually somewhat difficult to standardize. For example, military divisions, brigades, regiments and camps appeared very early, especially brigades, which first appeared in the Xia Dynasty. According to historical materials such as "Zuo Zhuan", the field system at that time was based on the length and width of ten miles. The field is divided into 64 "wells" for cultivation by 576 cultivators. If there is a war, 576 people will be selected from these 500 people to form a "brigade" to fight.

In the Shang Dynasty, there were 500 men per division.

The regiment was accompanied by the emergence of the government army system. As for the battalion, this unit was the highest establishment unit in the Ming Dynasty. There were even battalions of more than 1 people. However, in some places, the number of people in a battalion was not too large. For example, Qi Jiguang's battalion only had 800 people.

Liu Zhenhua made a rough assessment based on modern, more standard military units before making the decision to organize the company.

At present, the company commanders are only Yang Lichao and Ren Hongli, followed by platoon leaders Zhao Shitong and Ren Heitu, and the squad leaders are Zhang Gou and others who have achieved military exploits.

The militia team is much more sloppy. The two hundred militiamen are directly referred to as the militia team. They have a militia captain and a deputy captain. Ren Zhuohuo is temporarily in charge. After a formal battle, a new militia captain and deputy captain will be selected.

The heavenly soldiers were training, and the old and weak, women and children were not idle either.

After Liu Zhenhua and others searched the property of the Zhang family landlord, they found a lot of fabrics and satin. He knew the importance of uniform clothing, which greatly increased cohesion and sense of belonging.

"The heavenly soldiers wear silk cloth, the color is light blue, and the militiamen wear linen cloth, the color is light blue."

These are Liu Zhenhua’s original words. In the early Ming Dynasty, most common people abided by government regulations and wore "straight-fitting green cloth." By the end of the Ming Dynasty, farmers' clothes were mostly hemp-colored. At first glance, they looked dingy and looked like a scene of broken mountains and rivers. The militiamen Wearing light cyan clothes also looks impressive.

Making unified clothes is not something that happens in a short while. Liu Zhenhua's side has been developing steadily, and he looks like he is indifferent to the world. The outside world is already shaking.

Just yesterday.

Wang Er, who had retreated to Baishui County, decided to march north. He led more than [-] victims of the disaster under his command, crossed Chengcheng County in less than a day, and captured Huangshui County.

After making some repairs, Wang Er led two thousand people and continued northward, heading straight for Yichuan. Wherever he passed, they were devastated and all the Ming soldiers were defeated and fled.

"Brother, we can cross Yancheng and rush to Yanchuan in three days at most." Wang You reported with cupped hands. His face was covered with blood, and it looked like he had just experienced a fight.

Wang Er looked at the map of northern Shaanxi on the table in front of him, and gestured with his hands on it, "For three days, we can't be reluctant to fight. Go north and join forces with other rebels. But with the strength of our team, it is It can’t cause too much trouble.”

Although they looked devastated along the way, in fact, the places they passed were just some small counties with hundreds of soldiers. When they encountered thousands of people rushing to kill them, they all abandoned the city and fled. They opened warehouses and killed wherever they passed. Corrupt officials, but don't linger.

After collecting property and recruiting people, they moved on.

What he did was go north and join forces with the forces that have emerged in recent days.

For example, the recent Kitchen King, and the weird Wang Jiayin, who actually led dozens of peasants to capture the landowner's wealth without even using a single soldier.

It is rumored that Wang Jiayin organized dozens of villagers around him. One night, dozens of people, each holding farm tools and pulling bamboo poles, ran through the streets, shouting: "Rebellion! Rebellion!"

Thanks to Liu Zhenhua's rebellion against the landlords, the rich man was like a frightened bird. When he heard that there was a rebellion, he was so frightened that the rich man fled into the county town for refuge.

Wang Jiayin then organized a team of dozens of people to open a warehouse to relieve the victims. The team expanded rapidly, and even had the potential to start a prairie fire. The expansion speed was faster than him, and it expanded directly in Fugu.

If he could unite with these two people or bring them under his account, he might be able to conquer a powerful empire like Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty and overthrow this decadent dynasty.

"In the Yanchuan area, I wonder what happened to the team of [-] people that day?"

Wang Er murmured.

"Those people seem to have quite good fighting prowess. Could this be the Kitchen King?"

Such an idea came to Wang You's mind, and he suddenly felt that it was very possible.

"Oh? Then it looks like we need to change our strategy," Wang Er looked at Wang You in surprise. That day, he planned to swallow up the team of a hundred people when he went north in the future.

Now that man has developed and become the king. It seems that he is developing well these days. If there were a hundred people in the past, he could still rely on numbers to crush them and take them by force. But now, since he can stand on his own as the king, he must have many people under his command.

"Brother, what's the strategy? If he's not convinced, we can just convince him."

Wang Hu patted his chest. The ax he was holding in his other hand was covered in blood. These were all impressive achievements.

"You can't use your brain," Wang Er replied, and he put away the map. "Yichuan is not easy to fight. Let's scare him and bypass Yichuan and go north."

Wang Er is obsessed with the talents under his command. When Zhu Yuanzhang started an uprising, Xu Da and others were outside to help, and there was a woman named Queen Ma inside to help. Now Wang Hu was unable to be used, and the same was true for Wang You. He could only go north and contact those heroes. hero.
