In the inner city of Liaodong City, a house with a size smaller than the Grand Marshal Chen Kefu Mansion is only a hundred steps away from the Grand Marshal Chen Kefu Mansion.

The same rich doors, high walls, flying eaves and glazed tiles cover an area of ​​nearly 20 acres, making it one of the largest houses in the inner city. The entire house actually has five courtyards, a beautiful back garden, corridors, rockery, and winding paths.

This luxurious house is the family of the Grand Marshal, and the newly appointed marching Sima Mao lived in the Marshal's Mansion. This time, there were many people coming to Chenjiazhuang. Except for some recruited guards, dozens of old family members in Chenjiazhuang lived in this house. Fortunately, the house has five yards and dozens of rooms, and they were all arranged.

Chen Kefu also made great arrangements for these old families in Chenjiazhuang. In addition to transferring a team of guards from the Marshal's Office to guard the guard battalion, he also transferred a team of 50 people from the Gendarmerie Department to strengthen the guards.

In addition, dozens of honest and reliable women were picked from the Liao prisoners in the city and served them.

At this moment, in the study room in the easternmost courtyard, Sima Maoxi, a marshal's mansion, was hosting a guest, Abaoku, the young leader of the Yaonian tribe of the Khitan tribe.

"Come on, how about paying for this tea? This is something I brought from Zhuo County, and there are few in Liaodong."

Abaoku picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, but he felt a little uncomfortable. The tribes on the grassland were used to drinking milk tea, and added goat's milk when cooking tea. The tea made with various seasonings like this really felt a little uncomfortable. He just sipped it gently and put it down.

He knew that the person on the opposite side was Sima, the third-rank marching mansion of the Marshal's Mansion, and even more of his family member of the sworn brother Chen Pojun. He heard that the relationship between the two was like a father and son. He was half-forced to come to Liaodong City. Abaoku was also worried and could not figure out how Chen Pojun would treat him. After all, he led his troops to ambush Chen Kefu that day.

When Mao Xi saw him, he hurriedly smiled, "Look at me, I almost forgot that the young clan leader is a man on the grassland, so he can't drink this tea from the Central Plains. Come on, please give the young clan leader a cup of milk tea."

The more Mao Xi was so intimate, the more Abaoku felt unsure. After a long time, he finally couldn't help asking, "I don't know if Mr. Mao invited me here late at night tonight? What are the instructions? As long as I use it, I will definitely not refuse."

"Don't be so restrained. I know that you and Pojun are sworn brothers. Pojun is just like my own child. Since you are his sworn brother, you are naturally my junior. Today I invite you to have tea and chat."

The more he said this, the more nervous Abaoku felt. Although among the Khitans, he was a man who liked to use his brain. However, he was also a man who grew up on the Khitan grassland. He liked to go straight to things. Like now, he was taken to Liaodong, not to be captured, but his actions were restricted everywhere. He was followed by a group of Sui troops everywhere, which really made him extremely depressed.

"Is it the first time the young clan leader has come to Liaodong City? How do you feel about it?"

"This is indeed the first time I have left the grassland. The Liaodong City is really majestic. The Sui army is even more elite, unique and unique. Especially the Grand Marshal made a good arrangement for me and my brothers and arranged a big house for me. This is the first time I did not live in a tent. The brothers' barracks were also well arranged, including wine and meat. Everyone is very grateful to the Grand Marshal for the arrangement." Abaoku said with a cautious smile.

Mao Xi smiled, followed the topic and asked, "I heard that the young clan leader is the eldest son of the Adena clan leader? I wonder how many brothers and sisters are you?"

"I am indeed the boss, and I have five younger brothers and seven younger sisters."

"Are they all from the same mother?"

"No, there are two younger brothers and one younger sister who are the same mother and the same compatriots. In fact, my father and other women were born." As Baoku asked and answered questions, but he couldn't figure out why this happened suddenly.

Mao Xi asked inadvertently, "I heard that your sister, who is sixteen years old this year, is very beautiful. She is the most beautiful flower in your Yaonian tribe. Even our great generals admire her very much after knowing it. I wonder if she is married?"

Abaoku was stunned, "What do you mean?" Hearing this, he felt something was wrong. This sister was indeed beautiful, and this sister was also his father's favorite daughter. She was weird and even his elder brother loved this sister very much. At this time, he couldn't help but feel alert when he heard about her sister.

Mao Xi held the teacup and sipped it. He smiled slightly, and Abaoku had some pores standing up.

"This is the thing. The Grandmaster accidentally heard the rumors about your sister. It is said that Alina is like the most beautiful flower on the grassland. As a result, she was moved and admired her. You also know that it is normal for the Grandmaster to admire Lingmei in her prime. I am the elder of the Grandmaster. There are some things that he is difficult to talk about, so I will speak. Today I invite the young clan to come, just to ask the Grandmaster of Adina on behalf of the Grandmaster to marry Alina to our Grandmaster."

"But, but, Alina was originally going to marry Mogo." Abaoku said stutteringly.

Mao Xi sneered, "Mogo? Is it the Mogo who betrayed your sworn brotherhood? The Mogo who lured you to ambush my commander in order to help his father seize the title of Khitan King? Are you still planning to marry Alina to him? Or is your Yaonian tribe still planning to alliance with the Dahe clan?" The more he spoke, Mao Xi's tone became colder.

Abaoku even felt that if he answered yes, it was very likely that the old man with white hair would throw his cup as a sign, and then a group of swordsman came in and chopped him into meat sauce.

While wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Abaoku said hurriedly, "No, no. Mao Sima misunderstood, misunderstanding, Mogo was betrayal and did such a thing, how could we still join forces with them? I had sent someone to inform my father about what was happening here a few days ago. Our nine tribes have raised an army to attack the Dahe clan, and we are already unimaginable."

"Then does the young patriarch think that our handsome man is not worthy of your Alina?"

Abaoku said ungrateful, "Not that, it's just that things are a bit too sudden. I was a little surprised when I heard it."

"Young clan leader, if the Yaonian clan is willing to marry Alina to our Grand Marshal, my Grand Marshal is willing to give ten thousand Goguryeo slaves and 10,000 taels of gold as a marquis. And if my Grand Marshal marry Alina, then from now on, my Grand Marshal is a sworn brother with you Young Grand Marshal and your Grand Marshal. Isn't this a marriage closer and closer? At that time, our Grand Marshal will definitely fully support Alina to become the King of Khitan."

There are some things you need to say without further ado, just point them out.

As the young leader of the Khitan Grassland tribe, Abaoku is naturally very clear about marriage. The tribes on the grassland prefer marriage to people in the Central Plains. Powerful tribes usually only marry equally powerful tribes. For example, his own wife is the woman of the Dahe clan, and his mother is the sister of the Mohui, the leader of the Dahe clan. It was not an accident that this time, his sister Alina would eventually marry Mogo, the young leader of the Dahe clan.

The Dahe clan and the Yaonian clan have already started a war, so naturally Alina can't marry Mogo again. If she marry Chen Pojun, it will definitely bring more benefits to the Khitan clan. When Chen Kere is restored, he will be his brother-in-law, and this relationship will be much more stable as now.

Chen Kefu had 100,000 troops and had just been promoted to Duke of the Kingdom. He had the final say in the entire Liaodong. As the Khitan tribe in western Liaoning, if he could get his support, then the Yaonian tribe became the royal family of the Khitan, and his father became the King of Khitan.

As for whether to be a wife or a concubine after marrying Chen Kefu, they don’t care too much about this. After all, Chen Kefu is much stronger than them, so they cannot ask for too much in this regard.

After drinking a cup of tea, Abaoku had almost made a decision. Such a marriage would satisfy both parties, not to mention that Chen Kefu was willing to take out 10,000 slaves and 10,000 taels of gold as a bride. Such a bride would be a great fortune, especially if there were 10,000 prisoners, it would make the entire Yaonian tribe grow much stronger.

"Mr. Sima, I agree with this marriage very much. When I go back, I send a letter to my father. I believe my father is also very happy to marry the Grand Marshal."

As soon as Abaoku let go, things became much easier. Mao Xi also started to discuss in detail with Abaoku like a businessman. In the end, the two discussed for more than an hour and finally reached an agreement.

Chen Kefu married Alina, the daughter of the Adina clan leader, with 10,000 Goguryeo prisoners, plus 10,000 taels of gold, and Fuyu City in the northwest of Goguryeo as a bride, and married Alina, the daughter of the Adina clan leader. Of course, as an additional condition, Chen Kefu also had to support Alina as the Khitan King. Correspondingly, after receiving the bride, the Adina clan leader had to send Alina to Liaodong City immediately, and also had 5,000 cavalry to go south to help Chen Kefu fight against Goguryeo.

For Chen Kefu, except for Liaodong City and Xincheng, all the other mountain cities that have been captured are useless, and they are tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to abandon them. After emptying the money, grain, materials and population in the city, these cities that cannot be taken away have become useless. Now, using such an empty city to exchange for 5,000 elite Khitan cavalry, how can this be calculated and how can it be calculated?

Mao Xi was very happy, and Abaoku was even happier. Fuyu City is located in the northwest of Goguryeo, bordering the Marine and Shiwei Khitan. Not only is the city high and thick walls, it is the first fortress in western Liaoning, but it is also a trade city and a place for trade between all ethnic groups. With Fuyu City, it can not only expand the territory of the Khitan, but also get such a trading city. How good is it. Even Abaoku was thinking that after his father became the King of Khitan, Fuyu City will be their capital by then.

After even the details had been discussed, Abaoku no longer had the nervous speculation he had before coming. He was proud and happily stood up and said goodbye to leave.

Mao Xi knelt on the couch and kneaded his temples, "I finally got the family ready."

"Sir, the leader of the Marine tribe suddenly invited him and was waiting in the back garden." A guard in the mansion knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Come in quickly."

The sun is rising and the red light shines, and it is another good day.

The three-day leave originally promised by the commander was notified by the entire battalion yesterday, and all the rest were cancelled and all the soldiers were recalled to the battalion. Before dawn today, all the soldiers and generals had already begun to reorganize according to the new organization set by the commander yesterday. Fortunately, there were not many parts that needed to be changed, and all of them were in place in one morning.

Eighty thousand soldiers, plus more than eight thousand rescued veterans, temporarily recruited more than 40,000 soldiers from all the civilians. Fortunately, most of the recruits were auxiliary soldiers, and only some of the soldiers were selected, so there was nothing too difficult to choose.

Every soldier who is recruited has a settlement fee of twenty cents of money. For many civilians, they can't go home anyway, so they can stay here. After entering the Liaodong camp, they not only have two cents of money per month, but also have twenty cents of money once they choose. Where can I find such a good thing? The registration place is crowded. If you go a little later, you will have already selected the quota.

In the entire Liaodong camp, the logistics medical battalion and engineering battalion of the auxiliary soldiers had a total of 14 battalions, 28,000 people. They were transferred to the school grounds in the east of the city to conduct collective training. Most of the logistics battalions were transportation teams and medical teams. They did not need to go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy during battle. All their training was different from those of the combat soldiers. They had a separate training plan.

The Engineer Battalion is actually a special combat force, which combines two major troops of engineering and artillery from later generations. When marching, they open up roads in mountains and build bridges in water. When garrisoning, they have to be responsible for camping defense. During battle, they will also be involved in fighting, but they are not directly engaged in swords and guns, but are responsible for operating all heavy weapons, such as catapults, all crossbows, siege cars, rushing cars, and cloud towers, which are all operations of engineers.

Their training is also different from that of the combat troops. They also train special engineer training programs. They learn to dig trenches, dig tunnels, build bridges, camping, catapult shooting, crossbow shooting, and other professional techniques, and also learn some simple equipment maintenance.

The combat soldiers, the 49th battalion of the Seventh Army, plus the marshal's office guard battalion, communication battalion, and reconnaissance battalion, one was the 52nd battalion, with more than 100,000 horses. Among the 100,000 horses, the three most elite troops of Chen Kefu's central army, Mao Yi's left wing army, and Lu Shishen's right wing army were stationed.

Hu Hai's left front army and Chen Gui's right front army were stationed in Xincheng, a day away, and Liu Tiezhu's left rear army and Zhang He's right rear army were stationed in the camp ten miles away outside the city of Liaodong. As for the 4,000 cavalry of the Khitan and the Muhe people were all left in the city of Liaodong. Moreover, all the generals of the two soldiers were arranged to live in the inner city.

The Beida Campus in Liaodong Chengcheng, the largest campus in the entire Liaodong City, is now the Central Army camp led by Chen Kefu.

The central army had 18,000 combat soldiers, divided into seven battalions at this time, and were in training.

On the first day of training, the generals of the general manager of the military camp followed Chen Kefu and watched the military training.

In the warm sun, all the soldiers were divided into small parts and started training in small parts. When Chen Kefu and the others arrived, they saw that the team of soldiers were running around in circles, sweating profusely.

After watching for a while, I found that there were 360 ​​teams running on the entire campus of Beijing University of the City. They were running one by one and were out of breath, and they were almost sticking out their tongues and dissipating heat like dogs.

Li Jie turned around and smiled at Chen Kefu, "Master, is this your latest training plan? Let the soldiers run? But what is the same as running like this? The purpose of our training is to defeat the enemy, not race against the enemy, right?" In Li Jie's opinion, Chen Kefu is a complete mess, and there is no such thing as training soldiers like this. When training recruits, they also need to practice array exercises, practice archery skills, knife skills, etc.

"This is indeed what I asked them to run, and it is also my training plan. However, running is not the whole of the training plan. I thought about it all night last night and made a complete set of training plans. According to my plan, I believe that in just one month, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will definitely increase by one level."

When Yu Qinming heard this, he felt enlightened, "Master, I wonder what good plan you have come up with? It can actually allow these civilians to be reborn in one month and improve their combat level at a certain stage?"

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe it very much. He came from a family of generals and had led troops for generations. He was immersed in military tactics and battle formations for a long time. He knew that training is sometimes more difficult than leading troops to fight. Wars rely more on the tactical level of the generals and pays attention to strategy. However, this training is real and there is no false shortcut. Without long-term training, it is impossible to train a strong soldier.

Chen Kefu's plan is simple. Now this era is the era of cold weapons, and the requirements for the physical fitness of soldiers are the highest. First of all, it is physical strength. The basic configuration of each Sui army infantry includes a set of bright light armor, a helmet, a horizontal knife, a spear or a long weapon with a staircase spear. In addition, he has to carry a step bow and a pot of arrows. Because of the sufficient equipment, the Liaodong soldiers under Chen Kefu were not trained enough. Therefore, he asked all the soldiers to carry a three-shot single crossbow and a pot of crossbow arrows.

In this way, all the equipment a soldier needs to carry is at least about forty kilograms. Such weight is generally difficult to hold on for too long even if the strongest and young soldiers are the ones. If a battle lasts too long and does not rest in the middle, then in the end, if the enemy is killed, they will be exhausted even if they are tired.

So the first step in training is to strengthen the soldiers' physical strength. This is most needed, especially for the charge jumping soldiers and fighting surprise soldiers.

Chen Kefu's training plan starts training in the early morning every day, first conducting basic physical training, then bows and crossbows to practice shooting, jumping, and surprises to practice swordsmanship and gunsmanship. Then there is a single-soldier confrontation training. In the afternoon, queue training will be conducted, team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team-team team

In addition, every once in a while, coordinated training of battalion-level mixed troops and large-scale army-level array training is carried out.

It can be said that the entire training plan is very detailed and complete, from soldiers' basic physical training, to personal combat ability training, to queue training, team training, mixed troops collaborative combat training, and large array training.

In short, the goal is very clear. Such a unit can be picked up separately and fight alone. If it is pulled out in a team, it must be able to maintain the array. According to the latest battalion-level mixed organization, all soldiers can also conduct mixed and coordinated combat. In the end, they can fully cooperate with the array combat carried out by senior military generals.

Not only that, the rapid response ability of the troops must be trained to deal with emergency gatherings at night. This is specially used to deal with special situations such as ambushing, sneak attacks, and night attacks during wars.

In addition to these training, there will be a small amount of special training, such as learning battlefield rescue and medical care. After all, in the era of cold weapons, most soldiers did not die directly at the hands of the enemy, but were injured and could not receive timely treatment. Especially for some injuries such as excessive blood loss and wound infection, more than half of the injured soldiers died in these situations. Learning simple battlefield treatment can reduce the maximum number of casualties while cooperating with the military medical battalion.

In addition, riding and shooting training can also strengthen the soldiers' individual skills. Using the evening time to learn some simple cultural courses such as basic literacy and arithmetic is for better development in the future.

"How about it, what do you think of my plan?" Chen Kefu took more than a day to finish the entire training plan.

When he turned around, he found that dozens of senior generals were already stunned, with an incredible look on his face.

After a long time, Yu Qinming said blankly, "Master, the goal of your plan is indeed very good. But is it possible that this plan really completed? Most of these soldiers are just honest farmers in the countryside. The Master has done so many training programs, and they have completed it? Moreover, let alone these soldiers, even these officers leading the troops may not understand the general's meaning."

Chen Kefu shook his head, "Training must be systematic and planned. We don't have that much time now, and it takes one or two years to train a soldier. Our time is precious, every minute and every second is very important. So we can only come up with more ways to save time. Changing the training method is also a way to improve the quality of training. In any case, in a month, I will only give you one month. In a month, I will see a warable soldier who can fight on the battlefield at any time."

"The new training method must also take time to adapt. I will give you a detailed explanation of this training plan. You battalion chief managers must be responsible for explaining to the following regiment lieutenants. The regiment lieutenants will explain to each team and team team, and each team is making each team understand it forever. The lieutenants will inevitably make all soldiers understand it."

"Tell all brothers that if you train well, you will be rewarded. If you train poorly, you will be punished. The confrontation between teams will be held every three days. All the winning teams will be rewarded with one pound of meat for each soldier. The defeated team will be responsible for cleaning the huts for the next three days."

"A group confronts the group every seven days. The winning party will reward each person with a hundred yuan of money and a pound of meat. The losing party must wash clothes for the winning party for seven days."

"The battalion-level confrontation is held every half month. The winner is always rewarded with money, one pound of good wine and meat. The loser cancels the rest time of the two-day rest day in the army every month for training."

"The army-to-army confrontation is held once a month, and the seven armies take turns to fight. The top three are the winners. Everyone rewards ten cents of money, two kilograms of wine and meat, and increases the number of permits to go to the military prostitute camp next month. The loser cancels all rest days, and the running training will be doubled in the morning of January, and it is prohibited to go to the military prostitute camp for a month to have fun."

Everyone did not expect that Chen Kefu actually came up with such a reward and punishment mechanism. Every time he won, he would be rewarded with money and wine and meat. If he won in a month's competition, he would be rewarded with ten yuan. Those who lost would be miserable, from sweeping the cottage to washing clothes, to having no rest days, and even going to the military prostitute camp to having fun. Although such punishment seems to be punished by corporal punishment without hitting military sticks and confiscating food and salary, in fact, such punishment is also very serious.

Sweeping the cottage and washing clothes are all very shameful things. In addition to high-intensity training, those who lose will have to be cancelled off their rest days and prohibited from finding women, which is very uncomfortable.

Yu Qinming smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal does have a complete training plan and a fair and just reward and punishment system. I believe that it will surely inspire the soldiers' enthusiasm for training. Maybe in a month, we can really train these farmers into an elite strong army."

Chen Kefu thought for a while and said, "Tell the logistics personnel that with such intense training, the food of the soldiers must be at the highest standard. Each person must be equipped with at least one pound of meat every day and enough rice. In addition, let the soldiers teach some simple muscle massage methods to teach the soldiers. After the training every day, let the soldiers help each other to massage, which can relieve some fatigue and prevent some muscle damage. It is also necessary to inform all officers that corporal punishment is strictly prohibited, and all corporal punishment is cancelled in the army, and that it is not allowed to hit military sticks in the future."

Shen Guang said with some difficulty understanding, "There will always be some thorns below, soldiers, veterans, etc. If you don't let the military sticks be beaten, how can you lead the troops in the future? How can you shock these people?"

"Well, if someone violates the military rules, the officers will report to the military police on duty in the Military Police Department. The officers on duty in the Military Police Department will punish them according to the military rules. As long as it is not a particularly important mistake, they will be locked up in a small dark room and confine them. If they commit major violations of military discipline such as deserters, rumors, rape, etc., the officers will temporarily detain them and then hand them over to the Military Police Department for trial. Except for the Military Police Department, all officers have no right to privately execute criminal soldiers."
To be continued...
