Chapter 179 A peaceful day

The sky gradually became brighter, and the sun showed its smile, shining on the earth of the White Horse Salt Field.

Even though he only slept for two or three hours, Zhang Yang got up immediately. This bed was used by the commander when he was resting occasionally. The head of the bed was carved with hollow patterns and covered with soft silk quilts. It was really comfortable to lie on it.

After washing his face briefly, he rushed out immediately.

Outside the salt field, it was already crowded. The 100-man team of the first battalion, which was newly recruited yesterday, had all been assembled and was starting a simple assassination training.

In front of Li Shanchang, a large number of people were gathering around him, preparing to sign up and join the team.

Zhang Yang was very puzzled. He originally planned to send people to recruit people everywhere this morning, but he didn't expect that as soon as dawn, so many people came to join his team?

It seems that I am really what people want, and Zhang Yang is a little proud.

"Brother!" Xu Yi immediately ran over when he saw Zhang Yang coming out.

"Well, how much food was borrowed last night?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, I borrowed about 500 stones of grain yesterday, and they were all pulled back in a carriage. There were still several big households who didn't borrow it. Should I continue?" Xu Yi asked.

"Okay, you can tell Dingchen about this and let him send someone else. You have been busy all night and have a rest first." Zhang Yang said.

Five hundred stones of grain? These big households really have a lot of grain at home!

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze." Li Shanchang said: "Now, it's the third hundred-man team. Those who signed up just now have gone to the second team over there and are waiting for training! What's your name?"

Third? In other words, in a blink of an eye, two hundred people have been established. Zhang Yang looked over and said, "Shi Wenbing is giving them weapons and preparing to train them."

It seems that we have to move to the North Pole Hall tomorrow.

The second team of 100 people picked up the bamboo pole and started training.

"Everyone is just one move, stab!" Shiyi was demonstrating in front of a hundred-man team. "Ten people are in each team, and there is a ten-man captain, and the other nine people must listen to the orders of the ten-man captain. After the enemy approaches, when they hear the command, everyone will raise their spears and stab them out with force!"

As he said that, Shi Yi held the bamboo pole: "Punch!" After saying that, he took the left leg to take a lunge, raised the bamboo pole with both hands, and stabbed it hard, making a sound of breaking through the air. Then, he retracted the bamboo pole with both hands, pulled it back and stood up to the ground.

"Okay, let's start now, listen to my command, sting!"

One hundred bamboo poles pierced forward together, but they were crooked and had no strength.

"Please note, you should act as if you have an enemy in front of you. Look at the other party and concentrate. Every time you stab, you must use your whole body's strength to stab the other party through with one blow!" Zhang Yang shouted: "Since you have joined the team, you must train carefully. If you don't train well, it will be the price of blood on the battlefield!"

"I want your muskets, but I don't want bamboo poles! At least it must be a steel spear!" a voice shouted.

Zhang Yang changed color: "Who said it?"

"Me!" the naughty green who was not sure about the depth and importance just now shouted.

Zhang Yang looked over and was a villager he didn't know. At this moment, he was looking at Zhang Yang with longing eyes, but he did not realize that he had seriously violated discipline by saying this.

"What's your name? Where?"

"My name is Liu Dezhi, who is from the Ximian Village. Last night, I went to Liu Shancai's house to borrow food. When I saw that Brother Xu Yi hooked his finger, he beat Liu Shancai's house to death. I also want that kind of weapon."

"Ha." The Hundreds laughed, and the villagers also felt as if they had said the wrong thing and blushed.

"I would like to emphasize again, everyone, since you have joined the team, you are an ordinary soldier. As a soldier, you must obey the command of the superior. Don't try to make any requests. What you need is absolute obedience. If you don't want to, you can still leave now. On the battlefield, if anyone dares to disobey the orders, or even dares to negotiate terms with the superior and make requests, they will be dealt with immediately by military law!" Zhang Yang said sternly with a stern face. "Everyone has no right to choose weapons. Today we will use bamboo poles to train, and tomorrow we will send spears. As for the musket, whoever you have made military achievements will send them to whom! Have you heard it clearly?"

"Yes!" everyone shouted.

Xu Yi, this Xu Yi, went to Liu Shancai's house to borrow food and kill other people's dogs? But that's fine. When these people see their weapons so sharp, they probably want to have them. It's very simple to have them, and it's a meritorious service. In this way, fighting a war is a way to stimulate them to kill the enemy bravely.

I wonder if Zhang Yang knew that Xu Yi not only beat the other person to death, but also didn't let anyone go, I wonder what he would think. However, those people did many evil deeds and most of them died in the hands of villagers. Xu Yi would have prepared a speech. Besides, if it hadn't been for the big families last night, it would have had a very strong effect, would so many people join him today?

Zhang Yang inspected the salt field and took the guards to ride a horse to Lu Zhen's army to the south. He was still waiting there to see if there was any enemy situation. If the people from Dingxichang were dispatched, they would definitely pass here.

Lu Zhen chose Gaogang. Below Gaogang is a small path connecting the major salt fields. There are withered weeds on both sides. Not far away, there is the slowly flowing Chuanchang River. Going eastward, you can see the endless sea.

"Brother, we came here this time and didn't bring the boat. What if they attacked from the water?" Lu Zhen asked.

"Don't worry about this." Zhang Yang said: "We had a raid last night. If we were going on the water, it would be too slow. We seized a large number of horses, and of course we would still go on the land faster. Therefore, if the Tartars wanted to rescue Baiju Salt Field, they would definitely choose to go on the land. Besides, as long as today is over, Shixin will come by boat with weapons, so we can attack them from the water."

Lu Zhen nodded. It was already afternoon now. It seemed that there was still no movement there.

"Brother, will you use your hands too quickly last night to eliminate all the enemies in the salt field? No one came out to report the news?" Lu Zhen asked.

"This... the Tartars dare not say it, but those salt cubes are more and more refined. Some of them must have come out. Now, it depends on what the salt fields are planning. If they don't go out, we have to take the initiative to attack." Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang looked at the Dingxi Field in the distance, in the south, why didn’t he move? Could it be that he did it too quickly and they hadn’t reacted yet?

Zhang Yang stayed quietly for an hour, but still did not notice any movement. He really hoped that the enemy would come. On this plain without any danger, hundreds of Tartar cavalry would be killed by Lu Zhen's men. However, if he went to the salt field and hid behind various items, he would bring more casualties to himself.

When Zhang Yang returned to the salt field, he realized that the first battalion was already full. Moreover, the taxi, which was usually procrastinating, had actually transported the weapons this time. Although the base was not very far from here and was also smooth sailing, Zhang Yang was still quite satisfied with the fact that it could be transported so quickly.

All five hundred soldiers had already obtained the steel spear, holding it in their hands, heavy, this was the weapon for killing! They were even more vigorous, and the newly transported Tianque gun was their target.
