Chapter 43 Entering the Barracks

Inside the Shangdang government office, the inner courtyard.

"Your majesty, you said you were going to move to live in the military camp? But the concubine didn't take good care of her and offended the emperor?" Tang Wan Lihua looked at Liu Bian with a grievance in the rain.

Empress Dowager He also persuaded: "Your majesty can't live in such a good mansion, why do you want to move to the barracks to suffer?"

"Mother, Empress, you don't know. This is an extraordinary period. Although we are safe for the time being, what about the future? Maybe there will be others like Dong Zhuo threatening us."

"If we want not to be bullied by others, we must have our own power. Although we have temporarily controlled the Shangdang, it is far from enough. These sergeants are the foundation of our foothold. Before recruiting them, I once told them that we will Share joys and sorrows with them."

"Now that I am in control of Shangdang, I can sleep in a comfortable bed and eat exquisite food every day, but what will the soldiers think? They will say that I, the emperor, is not trustworthy. As time goes by, I, the emperor, will have no faith in their hearts." Powerful!" Liu Bian explained to Empress Dowager He and Tang Wan.

"Well, Your Majesty has his own ideas, and the concubines can't stop them, but if you really can't stand it, come back and live!" Tang Wan wiped away her tears and said.

"Well, don't worry, I won't hurt myself!" Liu Bian patted Tang Wan's back lightly, comforting him.

"You guys, the emperor is still young, and he went to the military camp. Don't let him mess around. It's not a joke to touch this sword!" Empress Dowager He told Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing and others.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will swear to protect Your Majesty to the death!" Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing and others bowed their hands and accepted the order.

The Shangdang barracks, built outside the eldest son city, were originally scattered everywhere, but Liu Bian gathered [-] soldiers together in order to enhance his influence in the army and for training.

Now beside Liu Bian, there are only four generals, Lu Zhi, Li Xianzhong, Yang Zaixing, and Yang Yansi. I don't intend to let them lead the army.

First of all, Lu Zhi, the veteran, the famous leader of the army, Liu Bian naturally swiped his pen, and Lu Zhi became the supreme leader of the [-] army.

Although Commander Li Xianzhong is slightly higher than Lu Zhi, but after all, his qualifications are too low, and Liu Bian can't put him too high.Liu Bian had no choice but to let Li Xianzhong be Lu Zhi's deputy general and train soldiers together.

In addition, although Yang Zaixing and Yang Yansi were not high-ranking generals, Liu Bian didn't want to waste these two talents and acted as the coaches of the army.

In addition, in Yang Zaixing's previous life, he was the cavalry general of the Beiwei army of the Yue family army. In the battle of Xiaoshanghe, he fought against 2000 elite soldiers with [-] cavalry. Although the entire army was wiped out, more than [-] people were killed.

Although this has something to do with Yang Zaixing's bravery, the bravery of Yue's army cannot be denied. Although Yang Zaixing may not be able to train as powerful cavalry as the Beiwei army of later generations, it should not be much worse.

Therefore, Liu Bianzai gave Yang Zaixing 5000 men to train the cavalry. Although there are only [-] horses now, it does not hinder the practice of the cavalry.Sooner or later, there will be horses, but soldiers need time to train. Liu Bian plans to train soldiers first. Once he has horses, he can directly form an army.

As for Yang Yansi, a pure brainless general, Liu Bian didn't dare to let him lead the army and train troops alone, so he had to temporarily let him be his guard and teach the soldiers martial arts.

In a tent, Liu Bian was discussing with Lu Zhi and Li Xianzhong.

"Lu Gong, how are these soldiers?" Liu Bian asked.

"The morale of the soldiers has basically stabilized. Zhang Yang's confidant has been killed on the spot. It can be said that His Majesty has completely controlled this army." Lu Zhi smiled.

"What about the combat effectiveness?" Liu Bianxi asked.

"In terms of combat effectiveness, it is not optimistic. When Zhang Yang was here, the management of the army was not strict, and the training was relatively lax. These soldiers can be said to be **! But fortunately, this army is young and strong, and there are no old men. Weak, sick and disabled." Lu Zhi shook his head and said.

"Training every few days?" Liu Bian frowned.

"When Zhang Yang was here, training was performed every eight days. Now I plan to train every five days. I believe that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be improved soon!" Lu Zhi said with a condensed expression.

"Training every five days, that's not acceptable, I think it's going to be every day!" Liu Bian frowned.

"Ahem," Lu Zhi choked upon hearing the words, and after a while, Lu Zhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the soldiers are already complaining in pain every five days. If they are trained every day, the soldiers must mutiny! "

In this era, the training of soldiers is not like that of the later generations. They train every day, and five days of training is already considered normal. Those with low training intensity like Shangdang used to train every eight days.

For example, Qi Jiguang's Qi Family Army trained every two days, which was the most intensive training in history.But Liu Bian said that he would train every day, and Lu Zhi immediately stopped him.

"Grand Lu, what's the use of training every five days? How long does it take to train an elite soldier? I have already issued a call for Dong Dong, and I will face Xiliang soldiers in the spring of next year. It is not easy for soldiers to deal with ordinary bandits in this state. What's more, we have to deal with the violent Xiliang army?" Liu Bian dissuaded.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the veterans disagree with the training every day, but the soldiers can't bear it at all!" Lu Zhi said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it's really unrealistic to train once a day!" Li Xianzhong also dissuaded him.

"The reason why the soldiers can't accept the daily training is because they are not used to it. Once they get used to it, it will be fine! I have a way to make them receive the daily training!" Liu Bian affirmed.

"Call the soldiers, I want to lecture! Announce the news!" After a few days, he paused.

Seeing that Liu Bian had made a decision, Lu Zhi had no choice but to summon soldiers.

On the school grounds, on the high platform, Liu Bian, Lu Zhi and others stood tall. Liu Bian's face was as frosty as he said, "Xianzhong, how many times have you drummed?"

"Return to Your Majesty, three drums!" Li Xianzhong said with a flushed face.

"Three Tonggu, why are there less than a few thousand people? Although today is not the time for training, the discipline is too bad!" Liu Bian's face was not very good-looking, and his voice was slightly cold.

"Zai Xing, keep beating the drums, don't stop if there are no people around!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

Yang Zaixing became angry, and this kind of soldier also made him feel a burst of anger. With both hands exerting force, suddenly, the deafening sound of drumming resounded in the entire barracks.

"What's the matter? You didn't practice today, why did you beat the drums and call me to wait?"

"The drums have been playing for a while, there must be something big happening, let's go and have a look!

"Don't sleep, get up and beat the drums!"

"So what about drumming? Aren't you not training today?"

"Get up quickly, they are all going to the school grounds to gather!"

"******, wait for me, where is my armor?"

It took half an hour for soldiers to arrive on the school field one after another.
