On the day when the commander Yang Yanchang led his army to Qinwang Road, the Yan'an magistrate Zhang Nian led the people to see each other off, the musicians played the suona, and the firecrackers crackled.
It is said that before Commander Yang envoyed King Qin, he personally sent a letter to all counties, warning the bandit leaders in various places not to take advantage of King Qin's rash actions to harm the officials and the people. He called the bandits the hungry and unbearable imperial princes and they must know the righteousness.
Later, the thieves really died down, and Yan'an Mansion seemed to be in a state of peace, which was amazing.
On the mountains on both sides of the Yanhe River, the bandit leaders entrenched in Yan'an Prefecture all paid tribute to Commander Yang who led the army to serve the king from afar.
People say that General Yang has great authority and can suppress thieves in Yan'an Prefecture.
Liu Chengzong was also on the mountain that day, watching the hidden earth pit dug by Li Bei's troops half a year ago.
But his state of mind is very different. In his eyes, this is not a picture of an official, an army, and a king.
It was his caravan, which set off with the goods.
Du Laowu walked beside Yang Yanchang, and together with ten other border troops, formed King Qin's deserter guide.
Looking at their backs, Liu Chengzong on the mountain clenched his fists tightly: We must come back alive!
It really doesn't matter if you have bad luck and lose money. Three hundred war horses are very valuable, but people are always more valuable than horses.
Recruit uniforms are good everywhere, warm, comfortable, and not ugly, but the biggest drawback is that they are not resistant to stains.
Liu Chengzong tricked the monkey into washing him, but within a few days of putting on his new clothes, the military uniform had already changed color on him.
That soldier's uniform will be as dirty as if it had been rolled in the mud.
The weather quickly turned cold, and Liu Chengyun went to Wangzhuang Fort to shoot arrows again.
After hearing the report, Liu Chengzong stood on the fort wall and watched for a while. Seeing that he missed an arrow after shooting for a long time, he said loudly: "Chengyun, stop shooting, come in."
This kid is so stubborn that if you can't hit the target, just move the target forward. You have to shoot from that far away, and then go back and pick up the arrow after shooting.
It creates the illusion that his purpose is not to shoot arrows, but to run.
After entering the fort, Chengyun clapped his hands and sighed: "Brother, why can you shoot arrows so accurately?"
But he still remembered that on the day when the county government robbed the prison, Liu Chengzong held a bow and shot arrows, shooting where he pointed; seeing that his movements were similar, why could he only shoot where he pointed?
"Study hard and practice hard. I have been learning this since I was a child. You have only been studying for a few days."
Liu Chengzong smiled and led Chengyun into the house. He lit a kang with a Changming stove outside to boil water. He squatted by the fire and leaned on his hands and asked: "How is it? How much has the baggage post produced in recent days?"
"No more."
Liu Chengyun answered simply: "The newly harvested fabrics, including the old cotton harvested later, will have about 2,000 sets of military uniforms and more than 700 pairs of cotton shoes by the end of the year. They will disappear later. Today we brought in 240 sets of military uniforms."
Ten sets of military uniforms."
Two thousand sets?
"The soldiers' uniforms are just left in the river valley? I'll send them to Yang Yao later."
Liu Chengzong sat by the kang, raised his hand and nodded his forehead in thought, and said, "Can we get some more, other cotton-padded clothes, too, and we need to speed up the process of making military uniforms. It's getting colder day by day, and I'm afraid someone will die if it's too late." Liu Chengyun nodded. It is too common for people to freeze to death in winter. He shook his head and said: "Who cares about time? Li Bei had to come early to fight, and he could have made all the soldiers' uniforms two months earlier."
"Hey, the officers and soldiers wouldn't have let me go two months ago."
Liu Chengzong sneered: "Now we have a chance to take a breather because the weather is cold and the officers and soldiers will not go to war because they lack winter clothes. I have more than a thousand deserters and surrendered, and many of them are wearing the clothes of the dead, so I can barely scrape together seven or eight hundred
Wearing cotton armor."
"If you don't want military uniforms, I'll think of a way and I'll probably be able to buy some cotton-padded jackets, but not too many. Brother, you can do the work, artillery and baggage."
Chengyun also came to the fire to warm his hands, squatted and turned around and said: "There are also servants in the Normal School. There are more than 4,000 people in the eight sentry and two teams. Everyone wears cotton-padded jackets and trousers. It's only been more than a month. It's too difficult."
"It's okay, you try to think of a way, we will do our best, lead the troops...it is really difficult to lead the troops, isn't it?"
Liu Chengzong walked over and patted Chengyun on the shoulder, comforting him, shaking his head and sighing: "I also want to find a way, if they follow me, I can't let them freeze to death and starve to death."
Liu Chengzong promised that people would die violently and not freeze to death or starve to death.
He sat back at the table and wrote for a while. After the Chengyun fire had warmed him up, he picked up a stack of paper and asked, "I'm going to the mountains, will you go?"
Chengyun knew that Liu Chengzong was going down the mountain either to the artillery post or to the work post, so he stood up, patted his cotton trousers and said, "I'll go too!"
Liu Chengyun was very interested in Fran's mobile gun, and also in what Liu Chengzong wrote. He kept asking questions on the way, but when he heard that it was the training plan of the Eighth Guards and the two teams, he started chatting directly.
"You train every three days, you are so full that you can't train every day?"
"What is the one whistle drill on ten days, and what is the one whistle drill on the 20th?"
When asked about these, Chengyun's eyes lit up and he kept asking this and that.
Liu Chengzong also took the trouble to explain the reasons for the training in detail: "If I didn't save enough food for the winter, I would have to look for food and have no time to practice. Now that I have enough food, I naturally have to practice every day, but I don't form a team. It's mainly for the commanders."
Practice weapons, strength, running, and just a little formation practice."
"The team is made up of two soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. The soldiers have all served as soldiers. They teach the auxiliary soldiers and check the effectiveness of their training. The so-called training every three days, team training, mainly involves formations, formations and skills, as well as
We all cooperate."
"As for the sentry drill once every ten days, it is a combined sentry drill, the change of queue formation, the sentry belongs to the baggage team, and the use of the servant team. The reason why it is held once every ten days is that on the day of the big sentry drill, they have to pull the team over.
”
Having said this, Liu Chengzong smiled, said hello to the soldiers who were carrying goods up the mountain, and then turned to Chengyun and said: "I have to look at my soldiers. I have to talk to everyone and encourage them."
This kind of drill plan is almost copied by Liu Chengzong from the drills of the Yuhebao frontier troops, and is consistent with the drill methods of Heilongshan Minzhuang. He then compiled a drill method suitable for them based on the current environment and local conditions.
Troops can be trained anywhere on the banks of the Xingzi River, but only the open space outside Wangzhuang Fort is large enough to spread out the entire battalion for drills.

The more this time comes, the more Liu Chengzong feels that there is a lack of officers.
There are more than 4,000 people in the whole camp, and no one who has been exposed to more than 400 people knows how to do it.
Li Bei was imprisoned in Wangzhuang Fort. Liu Chengzong wanted to ask questions without shame, but he was not taught.
Speaking of Li Bei, Cheng Yun asked with great interest: "By the way, brother, I heard that Commander Cao said that General Li wants to recruit you and recommend you to be promoted to a thousand-general official position. Rumors are going crazy in the camp. Is this happening?" "Yes, I wanted to ask him how my battalion should be trained together. Not only did he not tell me, but he also asked me to serve as the emperor's commander and follow him to Liaodong to fight against the Eastern invaders. Isn't this ridiculous?" "I told them that you just came back and didn't know. This means that there is definitely a way out to follow your brother in rebellion."
Liu Chengzong said disdainfully: "Oh, I'm just a servant, but if I defeat the general, I can become a thousand generals. Next time I'll beat Wu Zimian up, be promoted to Yan'an general, and then fight against the Five Towns Allied Forces.
After the battle, I will be the commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, and all of you will serve as my advisors... I almost forgot about the important matter!"
He paused as soon as he said these words, patted Chengyun and said: "Maybe there is no need to beat Wu Zimian, the court will soon make me a counselor."
Cheng Yun was stunned on the mountainside and blurted out: "Then who must be defeated to become a general?"
Liu Chengzong shook his head: "Don't tell others about this. Think of a way. If the governors of the three sides send people to recruit people, who will be on the other side of Zuotianmao and King Gaochuang?"
Recently, he has been busy with the affairs of King Yang Yanchang and Qin. He is sure that the chance to breathe has arrived, so Liu Chengzong has lost his vigilance and has not considered how Governor Yang He will deal with him.
But when he talked to Chengyun about Li Bei's rebellion, he remembered that there was a person like Yang He in Guyuan.
Yang He no longer has anyone in his hands. Earlier, he only thought that the elite and hard-working kings from the three sides and five towns would have much less military pressure. But now that he thinks about it carefully, he still has the ability to recruit people.
If King Qin's army comes back early next year, Yang He will definitely mobilize troops to deal with him; if he comes back late and Yang He has no elite troops to use, he will probably use recruitment to deal with him.
Recruitment.
Since the rebellion on June 22, the team has been under tremendous military pressure, leaving him no time to consider other things.
Now that I think about it, Zhaoan Yongyong and Liancheng instigating rebellion are a combination punch.
He is not afraid of recruiting people, nor does he intend to recruit people.
But what if the thousand is always given to others?
Liu Chengzong couldn't care about others at this moment, he had to take care of his own team first. When he went down the mountain, he happened to meet Wei Qian'er who was returning from a horse walk. He waved over, looked at the time and said: "Wei Qian'er, let Tang Qian go to Ba Shao Liang
The team sent an order to summon three hundred commanders and come to the fort tonight."
Wei Qian'er had doubts in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and ran to deliver the order.
Soon Tangqi was on the road and rushed to the 58 camps inside, three and outside.
Then Wei Qian'er came over and asked, "General, what else can I do?"
Liu Chengzong shook his head, and then saw the training arrangements in his hand: "It's okay... call the servant team over, and put this back in my room."
Since we have to call all the commanders in charge of the army, there is no need to send this training arrangement to each sentry one by one. We can just ask them to take it back when they return to the team and show it to each commander, captain, and sentry commander.
In the valley at the foot of the mountain, Liu Chengzong and his servants carefully inspected the military uniforms that had been delivered.
The military uniforms are all made by Wangzhuang's wife, so there are bound to be some minor flaws. Basically, the places where there are requirements are made very carefully, and the places where there are no requirements are made more imaginatively.
Putting the two sets of military uniforms together, it is difficult to think that they are cotton-padded jackets and trousers of the same style. At most, they are the same color.
But if you put ten sets of military uniforms together, you can tell that they are the same set.
It's harmless.
Liu Chengzong only cares about whether the clothes are warm or not. Each set of military uniforms has his name sewn on the legs and trousers, making it easy to find any problems.
The servants took the scales to weigh each soldier's uniform. There was no obvious cutting of corners, but there were definitely some shortcomings. At this time, the servants had to make a trip.
If the difference in weight is within two taels, if the village woman made it, she will get back the labor cost of sewing the clothes.
Let the wife of the village make clothes and pay for the craftsmanship. The craftsmen don't have the craftsmanship fee. They eat food, but they can't spit out the food they eat, so they have to make boards.
But it is true that no craftsmen are greedy for cotton. The craftsmen have both food and income from repairing weapons, repairing clothes, saddles and other equipment for soldiers. They are much richer than the common people.
The camp for the workers' sentry camp is in the northwest of Wangzhuang Fort, near the charcoal kiln.
It is the most lively place in the Xingzi River Basin. There are two camps with artillery posts and baggage posts on one side, and there are several tenant villages in the mountains on the other side.
Walking around the hills of Wangzhuang Fort, you can see the smoke rising from the blacksmith's forge before even getting close to the camp.
The camp was bustling with people, not only soldiers who came to ask craftsmen to repair their weapons and armors, but also farmers carrying farm tools needed for the coming spring on their shoulders, holding an egg in their arms, asking craftsmen to repair it.
There are even craftsmen setting up stalls outside the camp with their finished utensils, just like a small market.
Liu Chengzong liked seeing such a scene, it made him feel alive, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously before entering the camp.
He is happy, but he is neither a farmer nor a soldier.
He still laughed and said to Chengyun: "Look, if we don't formulate a training system, it will work. It's all in such a mess."
I saw a team of servants pushing a cart from a distance. Someone from the craftsman camp quickly called me, the sentry commander. Then everyone was overjoyed when they saw it. They didn't need Liu Chengzong to inform them, and all the sentries gathered directly and listed them in the open space outside the camp.
A crooked team.
The soldier captain who was assigned to the craftsman post was a tall and thin man named Hu Sanhuai. He used to be a team leader in Guyuan.
Seeing Liu Chengzong, he looked back at the craftsmen standing in a crooked square formation, knelt down on one knee and saluted, lowered his head with great guilt, and even said hello in a low voice: "General..."
"Get up quickly, you can't kneel down."
Liu Chengzong helped him up and asked with a smile: "The workers' sentry will inevitably fight in the future. The division sentry chief is in charge of people, and we have to rely on you to train troops. What's the difficulty?"
Hu Sanhuai clasped his fists and said: "Time is short, but one of them is that there are few soldiers and heavy affairs. Since the formation of the joint army, we have trained each team in a low-level position. The minimum is only half an hour, and the maximum is no more than twice."
"Well..."
Liu Chengzong glanced at the team of craftsmen, nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, we finally have time. Hu Guan team will go to organize the team first, and let the brothers who have not received the military uniforms line up in fifteen teams, and I will distribute the clothes."
Hu Sanhuai took the order to organize the team. The servants behind Liu Chengzong smiled at each other and divided them into three columns: large, medium and small according to the previous weighing and checking the thickness of the clothes.
This is not the first time they have distributed military uniforms. In fact, no matter what they distribute, their generals have to hand it out hand in hand, and they are already used to it.
The craftsmen, fifteen in a row, smiled unconsciously as they faced Liu Chengzong.
People want to please the young man in front of them who leads them to victory.
People also want to be remembered by him.
Liu Chengzong picked out a set of folded military uniforms for each person according to their height, shortness, fatness and thinness, and put it into their hands with his own hands.
Whenever Liu Chengzong walked towards someone, that person would loudly say his name and team.
When a row of people are carrying soldiers' uniforms, Liu Chengzong will say something to them, and then continue to send out soldiers to another row.
"In the past, at the border fort, the court asked me to wear a coat without cotton. I was so cold in winter that I shrank. I knew it was not easy for the brothers. After the battle, the first thing I did was to keep the brothers warm. If everyone followed me, I would not
