Chapter 17 Black Eagle Barracks

Shortly after Shi Hu took office, he found that the Cangzhou Army and the Chanzhou Army were in conflict. The Chanzhou Army, from the lieutenant, brigade commander, and soldiers all considered themselves victories, and were always arrogant in front of the Cangzhou Army. The Cangzhou Army did not confront the Chanzhou Army head-on, and although he surrendered, he was not convinced. After years of confrontation with the Liao people, they were also a group of men who were pounding their chests. The two armies had just been stationed together. When Hou Dayong was dealing with housework, the soldiers of the two armies fought several times for some small matters, and once it almost led to the confrontation between the two teams.

Shi Hu was originally a soldier in Chanzhou, so he was naturally closer to Chanzhou army. After all, Chanzhou army and himself were born and died. However, as the deputy commander, he could not turn to one side. He tried his best to be fair, but the mouse was drilling into the bellows - both ends were angry. Cangzhou army thought that he was unfair in his actions, and Chanzhou army thought that he was turning his elbow outward.

Hou Dayong rode the "wind", and two small schools followed behind, walking slowly towards the barracks. While walking, Hou Dayong thought about how to reorganize the army under the existing framework and how to apply the advanced training methods of the modern army to the army training. In the days to come, the army will have to go through countless hard battles. If you don’t train now, you will pay a big price.

The military camp was in the east of the city. When he walked to Kaiyuan Temple, he saw a group of people gathering around to watch the fun. Hou Dayong rode on the horse and saw four soldiers fighting fiercely at first sight. When he was the company commander, Hou Dayong did not object to the soldiers. If the soldiers did not fight, that is called angerless. Can angerless army have combat effectiveness? Therefore, every time the soldiers under his subordinates go out to fight, as long as they are not bullying the people or committing evil deeds, he will be lenient to deal with it. But there is an exception, that is, they will go out and lose.

Hou Dayong stopped and watched the four people fight with interest. The four people were of equal level and did not gain any advantage. They had already beaten their noses and faces and mud all over. One of them was so excited that they drew out the knife. When the others took out the knife, they also took out their weapons. Seeing that the fight escalated, the onlookers scattered around.

Hou Dayong stopped the fight, and the two primary schools separated the four.

When the four of them saw Hou Dayong wearing an officer's costume, the two primary school students were wearing knives, they stopped and glared at each other.

"You are from that camp, why are you fighting here?"

"We are from the Black Eagle Army."

When Hou Dayong heard this, he said, "Fuck, he is actually his subordinate." At that time, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty had its own titles. Hou Dayong loved Black Diao, so he called his battalion the Black Diao Army. Seeing that his subordinates were still brave, he liked it in his heart, but there was frost on his face.

"The Chanzhou Army bullies people."

"Cangzhou Army is not a good thing."

After hearing the quarrels for a few words, Hou Dayong knew about the matter. Seeing that more and more common people, he said, "I am Hou Dayong, the commander of the Black Eagle Army. Shut up and go back with me."

The two former Cangzhou soldiers had long heard that the commander Hou Dayong was very heroic, but they had not seen him yet. The two Chanzhou soldiers were fighting in the dark and had not recognized Hou Dayong. Now they heard that Hou Dayong reported his identity, they were shocked and thought that a whip would be indispensable, so they glared at each other complainingly and followed Hou Dayong back to the barracks with dejected expression.

When he returned to the military camp, Hou Dayong waved his hand, "Let's go back to the camp, don't fight on the street next time you fight, and don't use a knife." The four soldiers were overjoyed to see the commander-in-chief letting everyone go easily, and saluted each of them back to the camp.

Hou Dayong and Shi Hu met and reported the recent situation. Shi Hu complained and told him one by one about the discord between the two armies, suggesting: "Can you punish a few leaders and make both sides honest?"

"No need, the soldiers are brave and fierce. They will not be afraid when they go to the battlefield. We must encourage soldiers to maintain their blood and become humble gentlemen. Who will work hard on the battlefield? Besides, there is another reason for the fight between the two sides. The main reason is that our army is newly built, which will take some time to train the army. Now we want to disrupt their system, so that you and I have you in the Cangzhou Army and the Chanzhou Army. How is the Black Eagle Army now?"

"The Black Eagle Army has a total of 1,200 people, divided into five regiments, including two regiments of the Chanzhou Army, three regiments of each regiment, two hundred regiments of the Cangzhou Army, and two hundred regiments of each regiment. There are a total of ten brigades and twenty regiments. The regiment has a captain, the brigade commander, and the team is a commander." Shi Hu said.

"We will not disrupt the existing system, but we will make some adjustments to let the five lieutenants enter the tent, and we will meet them."

"The Huying Captain Kuang Cao has arrived."

"The captain Su Wensen of the Leopard Camp has arrived."

"The wolf camp's captain Shan Zongyuan has arrived."

"Hu Ji, the captain of Xiongying, arrived."

"The Lion Camp Captain Wang Qingshui arrived"

The five lieutenants were lined up in front of the tent. After the ceremony, Hou Dayong asked him to sit in front of the tent.

"Dear lieutenants, although we are the first to meet today, we will be from the Black Eagle Army in the future. I hope you will take care of you here." Hou Dayong saluted to the various lieutenants. The lieutenants immediately stood up and returned the salute.

"There are 600 Cangzhou soldiers and 600 Chanzhou soldiers in the Black Eagle Army. From today on, there are only the Black Eagle Army, not Cangzhou soldiers and Chanzhou soldiers. I hope they will restrain their own teams. If someone is provoking trouble in the middle, he will be punished. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Hou Dayong was used to leading soldiers and was very interested in the military horse in his hand. In the past few months, he had mostly fought alone. Just like a hero, fighting alone was not what he was best at. His specialty was to lead troops and exert the strength of the army, rather than relying solely on personal courage. Of course, in the era of cold weapons, middle and lower-level officers had to charge forward and do business with red knives and white knives. Personal martial arts were very important. Otherwise, if you have the ability to make a brilliant plan, you would be chopped to the ground first by others and have no chance to perform. If you really don’t have good martial arts, you can only be a senior commander and a Kongming-style figure.

Hou Dayong imagined that through three steps of reorganizing the army, training and changing clothes, he quickly forged this army into a new army and an invincible army.

The first step is to reorganize the army. Through reorganization, we must forge the military spirit of the Black Eagle Army and gather the morale of the army.

In the afternoon, Hou Dayong suddenly ordered the whole army to gather. In the morning, he deliberately put on the watch that he had not used for a long time. From the sound of the first bell, until the group of people arrived, a pillar of incense was almost burning, and it took twelve minutes.

"It's good to reach this level without new training, but it's too far from the soldiers I've led before."

Hou Dayong rode a horse, Shi Hu followed behind, the two of them were covered in armor and long swords hanging on their waists, and they were patrolling in front of the team majestic.

"The number of people reported by the lieutenants of each battalion."

"Title camp 273 people." "Leopard camp 268 people." "Wolf camp 179 people." "Bear camp 145 people." "Lion camp 190 people."

After the report of each battalion, another 4 or 50 people came to him. Hou Dayong ordered the late soldiers to stand alone in a team.

"From the bell ringing to the completion of the assembly, nearly a stick of incense sticks, if the enemy attacks, such a slow assembly speed will inevitably lead to a loss of armor. We are the Black Eagle Army, and the Black Eagle Army will be like the wind. Are you like the wind?"

"I don't blame you today, because there was no such emergency meeting before, but from today on, it is possible to meet urgently at any time, and you will get used to it."

At this time, soldiers came one after another. Finally, except for the on-duty and other personnel, there should be 1,167 people. In fact, (plus the 89 late ones), 1,144 people, and twenty-three people had not arrived.

Hou Dayong said: "The eighty-nine people who were late ran around the military camp for twenty laps. Those who had not arrived would be punished ten times after running twenty laps."

Under Hou Dayong's strict order, eighty-nine people ran around the military camp for twenty laps, eighty-nine people were fast and slow, and the team seemed sparse. The military camp was very wide, and after twenty laps, it was equivalent to a five-kilometer cross-country. Seeing that all the soldiers insisted on running, Hou Dayong was so tired that his face was blue and dark, his grades were not bad. "It seems that these soldiers were physically good."

When the soldiers who had run out of the camp finally came back, they were greeted with the fierce expression of the commander-in-chief. Seeing that some soldiers had oil and water on their mouths, Hou Dayong immediately added an order, "A meal of supper."

During dinner, Hou Dayong asked him to erect a long flagpole in the camp. Strangely, there were two ropes on the flagpole. All the officers and soldiers of the battalion were very alert to this, and they didn't know what the commander was going to raid.

The next morning, when the emergency bell rang and about four-fifths of the incense sticks were gathered, the team was assembled. This time, Hou Dayong did not punish them.

Hou Dayong waved his hand, and four fully armed cavalrymen came to the flagpole neatly. The first two cavalrymen held a big flag together. When they arrived in front of the flagpole, the four cavalrymen jumped off their horses. They tied the flag to the rope and slowly moved upwards. The other two put one hand on their left chest and looked at the flag. The flag spread in the wind, making a sound of hopping, and a black eagle spread its wings and was about to fly in the wind.

"This is the military flag of our Black Eagle Army, the soul of the Black Eagle Army. In the future, the military flag will flutter there, and there will be the glory of the Black Eagle Army. The enemy will be afraid of seeing us."

"From the future, every seven days, the Black Eagle Army will raise the flag once, and our bravest soldiers will be the flag bearer."

After Hou Dayong finished speaking, Shi Hu stepped forward and ordered: "After breakfast, the whole camp gathered at the playground. With the bell as the sound, each camp selected the forty archers with the best archery skills. A total of 200 archers were divided into two teams to compete in the archery competition. Each of them who entered the top thirty places was always rewarded. The winning team had a day off."

When two hundred archers lined up, Hou Dayong pointed at a soldier and said, "By the soldiers, take each other and walk forward." Hou Dayong asked Kuang Cao and Su Wensen to lead a team to participate in the archery competition.

Shi Hu asked people to take out two wooden signs, with many circles drawn on them, so that the archers could shoot the circles drawn in the wooden signs fifty meters away. Each circle had a corresponding score. The closer the circle to the middle, the higher the score. Each team took turns to the players, and the scores were reported by the scorer. The sum of each score was the total score of each team.

Hou Dayong made such arrangements, on the one hand, he had to select soldiers with outstanding archery skills, and on the other hand, he had to unknowingly forget the existence of the Cangzhou Army and the Chanzhou Army in various collective activities, and he had only the Black Eagle Army in his heart.

Because of the bonuses set by the commander-in-chief, both teams of soldiers were eager to cheer for their respective players. Every time a good arrow was shot, especially when it hit the bull's eye, the soldiers clapped and cheered. For a moment, the cheers, and the rebukes were heard.

Hou Dayong saw a long-lost scene outside the venue, "No matter in modern times, young people are young people."

When the soldiers beat their palms red and their voices were hoarse, the two teams decided the winner. The total score of the team led by Kuang Cao was 670, and the team led by Zhao Wensen was 630, and Kuang Cao won. Forty-five of the 200 soldiers hit the bull's-eye.

Hou Dayong announced: "The 45 soldiers who shot the bull's eye will be rewarded with the rewards for each of them. Kuang Cao's team will have a day off tomorrow."

The victors cheered and cheered.

Shi Hu ordered: "In the afternoon, with the bell as the sound, the whole camp gathered at the playground, and each team selected forty strongmen to participate in the stone-lifting competition. The reward standards were the same as those of the archery competition."

After the soldiers dispersed, everyone's excitement was concentrated on the competition. The various camps were discussing various interesting things in the archery competition. There was a soldier Liu Heigou who usually had outstanding archery skills. Somehow, he actually took off the target and ate the team's kick. He was ridiculed by the soldiers. The winner of the archery competition returned to the camp, and was surrounded by his comrades, asking him to treat him, and began to discuss finding an opportunity to have a meal in that delicious place. The strong soldier was already secretly thinking about the afternoon game.
