Chapter 97 Proud State Soldiers

The entire camp covers a very large area. It is located near a small village called Cuijiahe to the east of the county town, so it is also called Cuijiahe Camp.

While walking, Li Xu pointed to the barracks in the distance and introduced Lin Gang.

The camp was originally planned to accommodate 3,000 people, but with the development of the situation, the Cuijiahe camp would need to accommodate more and more troops, so Li Xu dispatched thousands of young and strong men to start the project to expand the camp.

In addition to building barracks, supporting charity such as stables, toilets, granaries, arsenals, and canteens must be built. Li Xu even plans to ask someone to build a few bathhouses in the military camp in the future. Anyway, there is river water nearby, so it is very convenient to divert water.

In addition, the school ground should also be expanded, mixed with gravel and loess and watered to compact it, and various training equipment, point and general stations, parade grounds, etc. are set up.

In short, all the money spent on the court and free labor was used, so Li Xu naturally didn't feel sorry for him. Therefore, the construction standard was built according to the standard of a permanent military camp.

Although in the imperial court's vision, the Xiangyong Camp was just a temporary team and would be disbanded once the rebellion was over, Li Xu obviously did not think so.

Listening to Li Xu's introduction and looking at the various buildings in front of him, Lin Gang's surprise was almost full.

This so-called rural sangrily camp looks larger in scale and more neatly planned than the provincial army camp, which gives him a feeling that he is coming from the countryside.

When soldiers who met along the way, they would stop and salute respectfully when they saw Li Xu, Li Xu nodded and replied.

Lin Gang could see that the soldiers' expressions of Li Xu were not simple. The soldiers' fear of their superiors due to their identity asymmetry, but a kind of heartfelt worship and awe, which surprised him again and became even more puzzled.

Li Xu was obviously a sixteen-year-old boy, and he had only been a county magistrate for a few days, but why was his prestige like a court general who had made outstanding achievements and commanded troops for decades?

How did he do all this?

Li Xu's central army tent is in the middle and rear of the military camp. If you want to enter the large tent, you have to pass through the schoolyard.

At this time, there were people on the school ground, and the sounds of commands and whistles sounded from time to time. Teams of soldiers lined up in an orderly manner, and then squatted down from behind when they heard the order, and then stood with their hands crossed behind them, and then followed the officer's bamboo whistle or command back and forth.

This queue training was simplified by Li Xu, and the regular stance was removed, but the basic contents of stance and stance were retained, such as standing and standing, squatting and standing standing.

Seeing this scene, Lin Gang and several of his personal soldiers stopped and watched curiously.

Li Xu simply stopped and started watching with him.

An officer wearing iron armor and a solemn army trotted over quickly, and when he arrived at Li Xu, he crossed his hands and bowed loudly, "Report to the county magistrate, the second song of the Township Yongying Infantry Camp is in the training of the recruits. Please instruct whether to continue training!"

Li Xu returned the gift and nodded, "Continue training!"

"No!" The officer shouted loudly, bowed again, and with a bang, he turned around and trotted back, and continued to organize training.

This scene naturally fell into Lin Gang's eyes. He asked in confusion and curiosity: "Brother, is this what you are talking about? It is also the trick to be able to become such elite soldiers in just a few days?"

Li Xu shook his head and nodded again, and smiled and said, "Yes, no, I am just a fancy person, not as good as the elite ones like Brother Lin Zhoubing."

Lin Gang's face turned red when he heard this, and he felt that Li Xu was connoting himself.

Even the personal soldiers behind him had fever and felt that Li Xu was talking nonsense.

Lin Gang looked at Li Xu for a long time, but saw that he didn't say anything, so he had to make a request: "So, when my 1,000 men arrive, we will conduct a drill, and each side will produce 200 men, one side will attack and the other side will defend. You will know if it's a scheming or not."

Li Xu shook his head and said, "I can't compare. Lin Dagang brings all the elite soldiers. I have only been training for a few days and will definitely be humiliated by your people. Forget it, forget it, harmony is the most important thing."

Seeing that Li Xu disagreed, Lin Gang thought that Li Xu was deliberately hiding his strength and insisted: "Brother, although I admire your methods very much, the arrogant soldiers and generals under my command must still be very contemptuous of you. Why not take this opportunity to teach them a lesson and let them know what real elite soldiers are. In this way, you will be more comfortable in making arrangements in the future, right?"

Li Xu seemed to be convinced by this reason. After thinking about it, he reluctantly agreed and said, "That's fine, let the two sides discuss it. Then let the brothers of the state army show mercy, so don't bully me and other new recruits."

Seeing that Li Xu agreed, Lin Gang breathed a sigh of relief. He made up his mind to let his subordinates show all their strength when the two sides competed, so that they could not let the brave camp of their hometown beat the state army.

It was also a good opportunity to take this opportunity to see how strong the soldiers trained by Li Xu's strange method were.

After deciding on this matter, he watched the school field for a while. Although Lin Gang saw some tricks, he didn't believe that he could train elite soldiers by walking around like this.

Although Li Xu was reluctant to show Lin Gang's proposal, he was very happy in his heart.

He also wanted to give these state soldiers a warning and take the opportunity to eliminate their arrogance, so that they would naturally be more convenient to use in the future.

In addition, I also want to see what kind of performance will be performed by my direct soldiers in the face of regular troops like the state army.

After arriving at Li Xu's central army tent, Li Xu asked someone to get food and Lin Gang and had some food casually.

After waiting for about an hour, all the 1,000 troops brought by Lin Gang arrived at Cuijiahe Camp.

As the master, Li Xu went out to greet Lin Gang.

After registration, a thousand soldiers moved into the barracks that had been arranged long ago, and had another meal of fullness and oil. They were all humming comfortably, envious of the good food in the village Yongying camp, and some people were sour, saying that the treatment of the dignified state soldiers was not as good as that of a group of farmers who had just picked up swords and guns.

When Lin Gang brought his personal soldiers into the camp, he naturally heard these strange words and frowned. He wanted to teach these arrogant subordinates a lesson, but in the end he thought about it, but he still didn't say anything.

They just told me that they had to compete with the Township Yongying Camp in the afternoon, but the result was that these big-headed soldiers from the state were indifferent. They all thought they could beat the armed farmers in the Township Yongying Camp into pig's heads and let them see what real soldiers were.

Seeing everyone's reaction, although Lin Gang was willing to remind him not to underestimate the enemy, he also knew that even if these guys agreed, they would not take it seriously.

He suddenly hoped that these guys would be killed in the subsequent two-army competition.

Thinking of this, he was even more looking forward to the upcoming competition.
