Time always stands on Liu Mingyu's side. As the walls of Fengzhou City slowly build up, there were more than 50,000 people in Fengzhou City at this time. Of course, this is not counting the soldiers of the Liu family.

One third of these populations were craftsmen transferred from Daning, about one third were newly recruited refugees, and one third were slightly more than one third of them were the families of more than 8,000 new recruits from the Liu family army.

For the refugees, they currently have a weak sense of belonging to the Liu family army, and it is difficult for them to occupy the city and defend it. Liu Mingyu actually relies on the new recruits of the Liu family army and their family circle. As the saying goes, it is difficult to defend the lonely city, and Fengzhou City is also an isolated city. A new Fengcheng is set up twenty miles southwest of Fengzhou City. It is the most prosperous area in Tumochuan and the core location of the Liu family army military farmland area.

The land that can be reclaimed around Xinfeng Town is about 1.5 million mu. Because the spring plowing period was missed this year and the population was too small, the large-scale development will take next year, that is, the sixth year of Chongzhen. In comparison, the city of Xinfeng Town is not large in area, the entire city is about 860 steps long and 780 steps wide, and the entire town covers an area of ​​about 1,500 mu.

This small city will become the main agricultural area of ​​Fengzhou in the future, located about thirty miles northeast, which is a very vast forest area, covered with larch or black pine forests. Liu Mingyu set up a mountain spring town there. Shanquan Town has a large amount of spring water on the mountain, but these are all seasonal spring water, which will only be available in summer.

As the main wood processing area in Fengzhou, a large number of house beams, doors and windows are produced here. At the same time, this is also the future industrial zone of Liujiajun. Because there is coal here, only a small coal mine is currently being mined, which can meet the daily charcoal of more than 50,000 people near Fengzhou City. Of course, it also includes more than 8,000 new recruits from the Liujiajun and more than 14,000 infantry and artillerymen using coal.

Qingshan Town is established in the northwest direction, which is a resource area between iron ore and coal mines. The shallowest place on each floor is only twenty or thirty centimeters, and the deepest one is only one meter. It can be said to be an open-pit coal mine.

There are three towns around Fengzhou City: Qingshan Town, Shanquan Town and Xinfeng Town. Relying on four cities, it can form a joint defense and united fort. The longer the time is, the more difficult it will be for the Mongols to conquer Fengzhou City.

In particular, the recruits recruited by the Liu family army are completing basic formation training and are beginning to come into contact with some more complex projects. Formation formation training seems meaningless, but in fact, it is trained to train soldiers' obedience. This is not a problem for soldiers from the poor people of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming people are willing to be the best obedient soldiers in the world. Later soldiers will instinctively think about the quickest way to complete when accepting combat tasks. Now the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty do not. What are the combat tasks they receive, they will complete them firmly and resolutely, even if they are in a lifetime, they will not retreat.

It is not even a roundabout way. This is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. However, there is no need for Liu Mingyu to change. Such soldiers are what Qi Jiguang needs with Liu Mingyu. In fact, this world is not composed of smart people, but is completed by most not very smart people.

Some people may not believe this sentence, but it is indeed a stubborn fact. It is like the soldiers who rushed towards the enemy formation with a smile when they were facing artillery fire, and they had no chance of victory or not. They just knew that someone had to die generously.

The zh nation has never lacked rational and intelligent people in its five thousand years of history. But this nation can survive by countless paranoid watchers.

In fact, the same is true for the troops. If there are smart people in a unit, there is no way to coordinate, because smart people always think about how to save trouble and effort. Speaking of collaboration, carrying logs is the simplest training method.

The key is that carrying logs is simple and fast, and you can use materials locally. There are still many trees in the Ming Dynasty. Choose the ones that are almost alone and hold them together, and intercept them into pieces of seven or eight meters long, and six or seven people carrying them together. The most coordinated and effective way is to strengthen weight bearing, strengthen physical strength, and exercise muscles. There are many benefits.

On the battlefield, the only thing soldiers can trust is their comrades, so it is important to cooperate in combat. Moreover, for the more than 8,000 new recruits of the Liu family army, four regiments will be established in the future, and an average of four new recruit companies and two veteran companies will form a new infantry regiment.

The running-in between veterans and new recruits is also a problem, so the trees around the camp were affected. Six or seven soldiers could be seen at any time on the training ground in the military camp, shouting commands, red eyes, and running wildly with logs. After a day or two, there was no need for the instructor to emphasize that the new Liu family army would understand the importance of their comrades.

There must be seven or eight hundred kilograms of such a log. The key is that a person really can't bear it and can only rely on the strength of his comrades. After passing this level, the new recruits of the Liu family army also became formal soldiers of the new family army and began weapon training.

Before starting weapons training, the recruits needed to be reorganized. In fact, the reorganization plan had already been available. In order to save trouble, Liu Mingyu directly combined the two companies drawn from the First Regiment with four new recruit companies to establish the 14th Infantry Regiment of the Liu Family Army. The veterans company transferred from the Second Regiment were established. The 15th Regiment of the Liu Family Army was established. The two companies of the Third Regiment were used as the foundation to establish the 16th Regiment of the Liu Family Army, the two artillery companies of the Fourth Regiment, and the 17th Regiment was established. The 18th Infantry Regiment was established based on the veterans of the Fifth Regiment.

The Liu family army has been expanded this round, and the cavalry unit has not been expanded, but there is an additional Mongolian minion army of more than 9,000 people, mainly an artillery regiment and four infantry regiments.

Nowadays, the total number of infantry and artillery regiments of the Liu family army is 18 regiments, of which the artillery units have three regiments, namely the Fourth Artillery Regiment, the Thirteenth Artillery Regiment, and the Seventeenth Artillery Regiment.

There are fifteen infantry regiments. Relatively speaking, the number of soldiers in each regiment has been slightly reduced, because Liu Mingyu is preparing to establish a strategic unit above the regiment, and plans to establish a brigade with three to four regiments.

However, so far, officer training has not been in place, and there are no reorganized brigade-level units.

Liu Ming was watching the soldiers who had been trained in the recruits for more than two months.

These soldiers were divided into their respective regiments according to the organization of five regiments.

Liu Mingyu said loudly: "You are all good soldiers. Congratulations, welcome to join the Liu family army!"

The new soldiers cheered loudly, and the heavens could tell that they had suffered more than two months than they had eaten in the past half of their lives. Of course, one thing is that they don’t have to go hungry.

The lives of soldiers nowadays are really cheap. Fighting is a natural obligation for them. They have no right to claim anything. The honor is not a good match for them. Even if they win, the reward is extremely meager. For example, in the battle of resisting the nest and aiding Korea, more than 100,000 soldiers fought for seven or eight years, and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. Finally, they won. The reward they received was less than one tael of silver per person, which was simply a joke.

If they are killed, their families will not talk about money, but how many dollars of compensation can they get? Thank God! How much combat effectiveness can an army that does not receive honors, does not receive the rewards they deserve, and their families are killed, and they do not have any compensation?

Now, the Liu family army they served and the Liu family army were different from other Ming soldiers. Not only could they get rich rewards, but even if they died in battle, their families would receive a lot of compensation. What else would they have to worry about? Just fight to the death! If they win, everything from the enemy will become their spoils. If they die, their families will have no food and clothing from now on, and they will make a profit no matter how they count!

All the recruits cheered excitedly: "I wish to die for the Marquis!"

More than 8,000 new recruits, more than 14,000 veterans, and more than 22,000 shouted loudly, and the sound was so loud that it soared into the sky.

Fu Zonglong, who was inspecting the city construction in Fengzhou City, was no exception. He also heard the cheers and frowned slightly. As a literati, he was too impressed by the fact that the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the warlords fighting each other, and blood flowing, and his heart became alert.

Fortunately, the cheers were quickly stopped by Liu Mingyu.

The purpose of Liu Mingyu's establishment of the Liu family army was not to become a warlord, but to reform this ancient land, to break the curse that had been from prosperity to weakness, but only three hundred years, to break the vicious circle of nine out of ten rooms and white bones exposed.

"You must remember that you did not die for this marquis!"

Liu Mingyu said seriously: "I will give you the best equipment, the strictest training, the best treatment, and the strictest training. What you need is not your loyalty, but... Let you understand that military uniforms are the glory of warriors, and the battle robe is the symbol of heroes! You must always remember that the military uniforms you wear are sewn from our wives, daughters and sisters! We will swear to shake the guards to the death!

The soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "We will defend it to the death."

Liu Mingyu continued: "You must always remember that the armor you wear is forged by our fatherly sons and brothers! We swear to shake the guards to the death!"

The soldiers shouted, "We will defend it to the death."

Liu Mingyu said: "You must always remember that the sky above our heads is the sky of the Ming Dynasty! The thick soil under our feet is the land of the Ming Dynasty! The people behind us are the people of the Ming Dynasty!...We swear to shake the guards to the death!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Slay the guards to death!"

"Slay the guards to death!"

"This is Fengzhou City built by us, and this is the new home we have jointly built. In the future, whether it is the Mongolians or Jiannu, when their iron cavalry appears like a torrent, their spears cover the ground like a forest, and the arrows shot from bows and arrows cover the sky, you can rush up without hesitation, for this land, for the people on this land who support us with their blood and sweat, die without hesitation!"

"For this land, for the people on this land who support us with their blood and sweat, die without hesitation!"

Liu Mingyu looked at the soldiers beside him and said, "Now start giving armor!"

With Liu Mingyu's order, large trucks were loaded with brand new armor, which were painted black, black armor, black cloak, and black helmets.

Large trucks slowly pushed to the school ground, and the quarantine officer began to distribute a full set of armor and weapons to the soldiers. The soldiers of the Liu family army were armed to their teeth. In addition to artillery, steel armor was standard. In the future, musketeers would also replace steel armor, because the collision of armor blades of the armor will cause Mars and easily cause accidents.

But at this stage, the artillery is wearing cowhide armor, and the situation is better.

As the soldiers were wearing armor on each other, the new soldiers on the school field soon formed a black steel jungle like the veterans.

Liu Mingyu said: "Wear them, you are our brothers of life and death! You don't want to live together, but you want to die together!"

"I don't ask for the same life, but I ask for the same death!"

"I don't seek common life, but I want common death."
