Chapter 38 Inauguration in Taiyuan

He Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Prefect, He Bai won't do anything else, but what he is best at is turning the people into soldiers. As long as the Lord Prefect summons He Bai to strong, He Bai can turn them all into soldiers within one month."

The prefect had no choice but to try it out and summoned the people for He Bai. Fortunately, in order to defend the city, each city and county summoned most of the civilians and soldiers in the county to serve as military service early. Now it only takes the dispatch.

There are still ten counties in Taiyuan County in the hands of the government. Each county sent a small number of people to Jinyang City. In addition, the original civilians in Jinyang City were originally strong, and there were 5,000 people in total. Fortunately, Jinyang City is a county under the jurisdiction of the county and also the prefecture. There are many arsenals in the city. The military uniforms, weapons and equipment in the warehouse are all available, which can equip the army of tens of thousands. I heard that there are also a large arsenal in Donghai County far away in Xuzhou.

He Bai sent 300 martial blood cavalry out of the city to investigate the enemy situation and the guerrilla stagnation of the enemy. He began to train more than 100 soldiers from the former Youzhou, including Fu Xing, Cheng Zhang, Yu Hua, Cheng Qi.

The training methods of later generations were not much better than those of this era. Only by working hard on discipline and ranks, they were able to quickly form an army, which was very suitable for large-scale violent soldiers across the country. As long as there were enough weapons and food, the training methods of later generations could instantly burst out millions of troops.

At this time, the training methods pay more attention to personal martial arts and cavalry and shooting skills. Each soldier must be good at using conventional weapons of various lengths and distances, called "helps, halberds, halberds, halberds, arches, bows, crossbows, etc., just like the special forces in later generations.

Therefore, in the eyes of He Bai and others, elite Han soldiers should not be used in arrays, but in special operations. In array operations, they are not much stronger than the same array-based militia and fully armed militia, which is the greatest waste for them. It is best to fight in arrays or ordinary soldiers who are quickly formed in an assembly line.

However, He Bai was not sure which one was better or worse, and he did not dare to completely abandon the ancient methods of training. So he deliberately left two thousand people to Yu Hua, and Cheng Qi and the other two to practice, hoping that they could give He Bai a little surprise.

After discussing with Fu Xing, who already had some good generals, he decided that in addition to queue training, each soldier would only practice three offensive and defensive moves. He Bai and his army practiced swords, shields, blocks, and slashes and shields. Fu Xing and his army practiced spearmen, left, right, and assaults. Chengzhang, a thousand soldiers practiced crossbowmen, only practiced bows, arrows, and fired.

He Bai and others are stepping up the training of recruits, trying every means to make the illiterate people at this time able to receive the training content of later generations. Just distinguishing left and right, several transformation methods, moving forward in a row, etc., will destroy He Bai's countless brain cells, let alone the transformation styles of various queues.

The high-intensity training every day also made the soldiers complain. When He Bai saw it, he used a killer move, extra meals, three meals a day, and three meals with meat.

This was a high treatment that only landlords and nobles with rich nightlife in China in ancient times. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese still had two meals a day.

Although the world is not completely chaotic, the people are usually hungry and full, and they cannot even keep their regular meals a day. How could they think of such benefits as joining the army? As soon as this method of adding meals was released, the soldiers were speechless and there was a hint of secret joy in their hearts. It was great to be a soldier. At the same time, these simple soldiers were more and more engaged in training. Regardless of the severe cold and heat, they insisted on training without any complaints, and in a short period of time, they had a happy result.

However, the Taiyuan Prefect was a little dissatisfied. If He Bai's five thousand volunteers and brave soldiers had eaten up the food from the Taiyuan Grain Depot, what would the new Bingzhou Governor eat? But now He Bai needs to defend the city and fight the thieves, so he can only keep silent for the time being.

At this time, the army usually trains every three days and every five days, and only has thousands of people in a month. However, He Bai trains soldiers from morning to night, and has to practice for seven hours a day. Even if he is not at ease at night, he has to work hard several times before he can stop.

He wanted to see what kind of army he would train like He Bai to practice day and night.
