After being taken to a barracks by his chief, Gao Zheng originally thought he could finally have a good rest. However, when he arrived at the barracks, he was surprised by this guy who was not taller than him but was extremely strong.

I have learned the rules over and over again.

"No spitting anywhere."

"No littering anywhere."

"Salute when you see your superior."

“You need to queue up for meals, bathing and other crowded places.”

"Don't make any noise when you go to bed every day."

"Get up on time every morning."

All kinds of messy rules make me dizzy...

But you can’t stop, because as the chief said, the first three days are the time to learn the rules. If you make a mistake, you will only be punished by standing or running.

But after three days, if you make a mistake, you will be put in solitary confinement, beaten with a military stick, and repeat offenders will be beheaded.

If you disobey orders during combat, you will be killed immediately!

In short, when Gao Zheng was listening to the chief talking about various military regulations, he heard the word "Li Zhan" at least twenty or thirty times... This means that once there are dozens of military regulations triggered, it will directly result in "Li Zhan".

This had to make Gao Zheng sigh, it is really not that easy to eat food as a soldier. You don't just have to be willing to risk your life, you also have to abide by various rules.

Just when Gao Zheng arrived at the Songshan Village recruit camp to begin training for new recruits, Luo Zhixue on the other side was listening to An Yongduo's report.

The recruitment and training of new recruits are currently the responsibility of the Staff Office. It is natural that An Yongduo, the director of the Staff Office, will come to report to Luo Zhixue on the recruitment and training of new recruits.

"During this period of time, we have sent out multiple recruitment teams, mainly to some villages in the eastern periphery and some villages near the mountains. We have recruited a total of 530 recruits. Later, we plan to send people south, near the mountains.

We are recruiting new soldiers in some villages in the northern part of Nanzhao County, and it is expected to recruit about 500 more people."

"Strive to fully reserve the recruitment number of 1,000 people within half a month."

As Anyongduo spoke, he handed the report written by his staff to Luo Zhixue.

Luo Zhixue briefly glanced at it and then said: "You have done a good job in recruiting and training new recruits. Complete the recruitment and training of new recruits as soon as possible, and strive to complete the training of the new troops within three months to form initial combat effectiveness."

"During training, the ratio of musketeers and spearmen is maintained at one to one. Some recruits with special skills can be trained as archers, sword and shield bearers and cavalry."

Anyong said: "My subordinates understand."

Luo Zhixue closed the recruit report, then stood up and prepared to pour himself tea. At the same time, he said: "Are the troops ready for the expedition?"

Anyongduo didn't wait for Luo Zhixue to do it himself, but already picked up the teapot and poured tea for Luo Zhixue. At the same time, he replied: "The first, second, third and fifth posts, artillery posts and

The cavalry sentry and baggage sentry troops have gathered at the Songshan defense line and the camp at the entrance of the village, and the personnel and equipment are fully prepared."

"The fourth post is to stay in Songshan Village."

"The supplies at the logistics office are sufficient, but the carriages and mules and horses for transportation are still lacking. It is estimated that it will take two days to prepare them all."

Luo Zhixue said: "Two days is not too late. You can spread the word and let all the ministries prepare. We will leave the mountain in two days."

"You should also pay attention to arranging sentinels outside the mountain. If there are officers and soldiers going south from Ruzhou or north from Nanyang, I want to know the movements of the officers and soldiers as soon as possible."

An Yongduo said: "General, don't worry, I have sent out several groups of sentinels in advance to monitor the surrounding situation day and night. If there is any change in the Ming army, we will know it as soon as possible."

Luo Zhixue nodded slightly: "That's good. Okay, let's do this for today. You can go and do your work too!"

An Yongduo is also a busy man. After coming out of Luo Zhixue's side, he went straight to the Songshan defense line to check the combat readiness of the first sentry and other troops stationed here.

Later, when I returned to Songshan Village, I stayed up all night with the people from the logistics department to finalize the final transportation plan for grain, grass, and ammunition.

Luo Zhixue himself has been relatively relaxed these two days. Most of the time, he listened to various reports and gave instructions. In his free time, he looked at the simple hand-drawn maps.

This simple hand-drawn map is far from accurate. It was all surveyed and mapped by Luo Zhi School. However, people these days also lack the necessary surveying and mapping technology, so the maps produced by surveying and mapping have many errors.

Luo Zhixue had no choice but to make do with it.

No matter what, it is much better than the original freehand ink painting...

In the evening of the next day, Luo Zhixue once again called a meeting with his subordinates. This time, civil and military officials gathered together, with the generals on one side and the civilian officials on the other.

Guo Quanshu also attended this meeting as the main person in charge of the grain collection office, and then he saw Huang Guangmao...

Seeing Huang Guangmao wearing the gray military uniform from the Baoxiang camp, Guo Quanshu showed a trace of disdain.

How can a beautiful lady like you be a thief!

He had met Huang Guangmao before. Of course, he didn't have a good impression of Huang Guangmao, because when Huang Guangmao first went into the mountains to suppress bandits, he also went to Guojiacun and asked the Huang family to collect a batch of grain and grass.

After Guo Quanshu went to the mountains to work for these rebels, he also heard that Huang Guangmao's entire army was wiped out and even surrendered to the rebels. At that time, he was quite shameless towards Huang Guangmao.

As the commander-in-chief of an army, he did not die on the battlefield after the battle, nor did he commit suicide to serve the country. Instead, he was captured and taken prisoner.

Forget it, I still surrendered to the thieves, and now I am wearing the uniform of a rebel.

This is a disloyal and unjust person.

As for himself, he is not a military attache of the imperial court, and there is no talk of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country. After all, he is just an ordinary citizen. It is normal for him to be hijacked by the rebels and forced to copy and write.

Guo Quanshu concealed his disdain very well, at least not letting others notice. He just listened quietly to Luo Zhixue's words above.

Today's meeting is not to arrange any tasks, nor to discuss any plans. It is purely a pre-war mobilization meeting. Luo Zhixue talked about a lot of messy things to boost morale.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After Luo Zhixue finished speaking, the heads of other departments patted their chests one after another and swore that they would lead the troops to fight well and do a good job in logistics work.

When it was Guo Quanshu's turn, Guo Quanshu looked serious: "Our grain collection office is fully prepared. We will successfully complete the trophy boarding, grain collection and other tasks, and live up to the general's trust."

This time the army goes on an expedition, the Food Recruitment Office will send a food requisition team headed by Guo Quanshu to follow the army and collect all kinds of trophies for boarding.

After the mobilization meeting in the evening, Luo Zhixue had some insomnia that night. He was always thinking about tomorrow's expedition and subsequent combat matters, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.

After falling asleep, I had several messy dreams. Although these dreams were all messy, they were basically scenes of others chasing him and killing him...

There was a dream that after a battle between him and the army, the army was defeated and he was forced to run away. The officers and soldiers were chasing him all the way behind...

It was normal to dream here, and then he broke into an ancient city while running, and then led a group of people who ran out of nowhere to loot the local grain store...

He carried the rice and ran all the way, followed by a group of officers and soldiers chasing him...

While running, he met another family. When he ran in, the other person seemed normal at first, but after a while, the mistress of the family turned into a ghost and wanted to eat him...

He ran and ran again... Finally, in a wilderness, a little boy carrying a rocket launcher appeared in front of him.

The little boy showed an innocent smile to Luo Zhixue and then fired the rocket...

After being hit by a rocket, Luo Zhixue also discovered that the little boy was still his younger self...

This series of dreams made Luo Zhixue a little confused when he woke up in the morning.

In his dream, he was killed by his childhood self...

This is all a messy dream.

Because he didn't sleep well all night, Luo Zhixue didn't seem to be in good spirits when he got up in the morning, but today is a big day for the expedition.

Naturally, Luo Zhixue couldn't meet people with such a shrunken look.

He called over his soldiers and began to wash up, and after a brief breakfast, he began to put on his military uniform.

This is a set of the current standard officer uniforms in the Baoxiang camp. The general style is the same as Wang Xiazi and An Yongduo's officer uniforms. They are both slim and improved based on the traditional right-sided top and trousers of the Ming army, with additional additions.

Wear a thick cloak.

But the color is different from the gray of the soldiers. The overall color of the officers' uniforms is navy blue, with better materials and better production.

In addition to his clothes, he also put on a warm cashmere round hat, a pair of black leather gloves, and a pair of long riding boots.

After finishing dressing, he walked out of the inner room and went to the hall outside. At this time, Anyondo and others were already waiting in the hall.

Luo Zhixue nodded slightly towards everyone: "Let's go."

After saying that, he went out first, then got on a war horse brought by his own soldiers, and started heading to the camp at the entrance of the village with dozens of people behind him.

After arriving at the camp, Luo Zhixue saw that the fifth sentry and other troops had already lined up. He held a simple expedition ceremony and then started to set off with hundreds of troops.

After arriving at the Songshan defense line, the Baoxiang battalion starting from Songshan reunited with Lin Dongsheng's first post, Zhang Malin's artillery post and other troops and continued southward.

However, they did not go all the way south. Instead, they crossed Songshan and went south for seven or eight miles before turning eastward.

They will then move eastward along the hilly areas outside these mountains until they reach Songjiazhuang.

Luo Zhixue marched eastward with a large army composed of infantry, artillery, baggage troops and hundreds of civilians. There were more than 700 regular troops alone, in addition to more than 400 civilians accompanying the army, and dozens of carriages.

Its scale is larger than that of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who entered the mountain to suppress the bandits, so its momentum cannot be reduced.

In addition, there are only a few roads leading in and out of the mountains, and it was impossible for Luo Zhixue to let his troops take the trails lightly, so they were noticed by outsiders not long after they went all the way east.

Soon someone spread the news to Lushan County that a large number of bandits were killed from Funiu Mountain.
