Zhang Xiu, who had gained a foothold in Fuyu Kingdom, followed the suggestions of military advisor Li Hui, and after consultation with Fuyu Kingdom Lord, recruited 5,000 young and strong men from Fuyu to join the army, and trained according to the training methods of the Canglang Army. In the future, he will serve as the reserve source of the Canglang Army and fight with the Canglang Army.

These young and strong men of Fuyu were originally good at digging traps, putting traps, shooting prey, etc. in the Xing'an Mountains. They had never seen the fully armed Canglang Army, nor had they received systematic military training. Therefore, in the first period of their enlistment, there was no other way out except for the continuous repairs by the Canglang Army soldiers in charge of training.

These raw melon seeds who are constantly "repairing" seem to maintain a heavy and tough quality like the silly mountain range of the Greater Khingan Mountains. As long as the trainees do not insult them in personality, no matter how hard or tiring the training is, everyone will grit their teeth and hold on and persevere.

Zhang Xiu admired and recognized Fuyu's soldiers' qualities of being patient and endured hardship. In order to further encourage their enthusiasm for training, Zhang Xiu and Li Hui decided to formally pay Fuyu's soldiers and equip the top players with outstanding training results with standard equipment from the Canglang Army.

Although the military pay paid to Fuyu soldiers was only one-third of the soldiers of the Canglang Army, and although the standard equipment distributed to Fuyu soldiers was less than 100 people, these two methods greatly stimulated Fuyu soldiers' training enthusiasm, making these soldiers who were already very hard-working and patient were more active and enthusiastic.

In just one month, Zhang Xiu obtained a reserve team of ten thousand people with initial combat power, and it was a very obedient and easy-to-fund troops. This trick was really beautiful. Now this reserve team has been evenly distributed to various divisions, and after waiting to go south to fight off the Wuwan people, he secretly accepted a batch of weapons and equipment trafficked by Zheng Donglai to Liaodong, and since then he became the first mercenary under Zhao Xing's rule in the northeast.

Just when Zhang Xiu was training Fu Yu's soldiers, Zhang Yan, who had already arrived at Dongsheng Island, secretly entered the land war brigade in the Hejian Kingdom Lecheng area of ​​Jizhou, and was also catching up on time to carry out adaptive training.

Perhaps due to the strong influence of Zhao Xing's military idea of ​​"going wherever he goes", when the Black Mountain Army arrived at Dongsheng Island to start adaptable mountain jungle combat training, military advisor Jia Mu tried his best to instigate Zhang Yan to fool a group of young and strong people on the island to participate in the training together. When they land in Benhan in the future, they could just be allowed to serve as scouts and logistics support teams.

Zhang Yan thought about it carefully and thought that Jia Mu's suggestion was very good. There were 70,000 or 80,000 residents on Dongsheng Island. Because it was close to Sanhan's local area, some people often traveled between Dongsheng Island and Sanhan. Not only could they speak the language of Sanhan, but they were also familiar with the terrain and customs on the Sanhan Peninsula. They were suitable for being the vanguard to explore the truth and reality. When the war was in a stalemate, if a unit composed of Dongsheng people provided support and support, they might even achieve unexpected results.

So Zhang Yan and Jia Mu came to visit Zhao Zhong, the king of Dongsheng, and expressed the idea of ​​the Black Mountain Army's hope to recruit male men among the young and strong on the island.

After some consideration, Zhao Zhong put forward two conditions for Zhang Yan. One is that the number of people in Dongsheng Kingdom is small, and the number of people who are withdrawn at one time cannot exceed 4,000, otherwise normal agricultural production and animal husbandry cannot be guaranteed; the other is that Dongsheng soldiers recruited into the Black Mountain Army will be obliged to return to the island to participate in the war to defend their homes when Dongsheng Kingdom is attacked in the future.

Without waiting for Zhang Yan to bargain with Zhao Zhong, Jia Mu agreed to the two conditions first. Afterwards, Zhang Yan asked Jia Mu why he agreed to the request of the Dongsheng Kingdom so readily. Jia Mu replied with a smile: "I originally thought that at most two thousand soldiers could be recruited on the island, but Zhao Zhong agreed to four thousand. If he regrets it, wouldn't we lose a lot!"

Zhang Yan said indifferently: "If he dares to repent, I will directly lead someone to demolish his palace, which is not as big as the public bathhouse in Wohu City. What should he do!"

Jia Mu shook his head and patiently advised Zhang Yan, saying: "Don't interact with Dongsheng Kingdom with this mentality and keep Zhao Zhong to help us manage the people on the island. In the current situation, it will be beneficial to us. If the 30,000 Black Mountain troops are willing, they can indeed kill this island country. However, in the future, we will lack a group of people who can provide continuous supplies for the Black Mountain troops, and will also be charged with the crime of killing injustice."

Zhang Yan frowned and said, "But if it is not my race, their hearts will be different. If Dongsheng Kingdom, with our help, embark on the road of prosperity in the future, and the tail will not be too big, wouldn't we raise tigers and shoot ourselves in the foot?"

Jia Mu said confidently: "It's just an island in the sea. The geographical location of Dongsheng Kingdom destined that he could only become a vassal of Jin. Even if the island country is prosperous in the future, how can he resist the eight straits of the lord's priest?"

Zhang Yan knew that the lord Jia Mu had always been Zhao Xing alone, so he asked curiously: "His Grand Tutor also specially formulated a strategy to pacify the Dongyi?"

Jia Mu nodded and then said: "The first strategy of flattening the barbarians is to educate the people wherever the army goes to speak Chinese language, the Ming Han rituals are used, and the second strategy of flattening the barbarians is to encourage soldiers in the army to marry local women, and accelerate the integration between the barbarians; the third strategy of flattening the barbarians is to attract the children of local tribal leaders to study and live in Jin State, and to cultivate the successors of local leaders who are pro-Jin State..."

Seeing Jia Mu rumoring the eight pingyi under Zhao Xingding, Zhang Yan was a little overwhelmed and scratched her forehead hard and said, "You learned people have a lot of colorful intestines in your stomach. I, Lao Zhang, only knows who doesn't listen to the Grand Tutor, will I kill him all. Wouldn't this solve all the problems?"

Jia Mu found out that he had been talking for a long time to play the piano for a bull, rolled his eyes to Zhang Yan, and then sighed and said, "It's a waste of my saliva with you, a rough man, you are so bad. Apart from knowing how to kill people, you will not think that if you go and kill people, you will be killed. Who would be willing to go to these remote, bitter and cold places to reproduce? Remember me in the future. When you need to kill, I will remind you secretly. Otherwise, you must control the army to kill continuously. This is the order of the Taifu!"

When Zhang Yan heard that this was Zhao Xing's order, he quickly said with a serious expression: "Please guarantee that the eight strategies of Taifu's equilibriums will be taken down by the Three Han Island!"

Compared to Zhang Xiu's training of Fu Yu's cavalry, Zhang Yan trained Dongsheng Mountain soldiers, and the first land brigade commander Wang Lu trained 20,000 Danyang soldiers, which was much easier.

These Danyang soldiers were originally well-trained soldiers under Yuan Shu's tent. Although their combat effectiveness was not as good as the powerful infantry elites such as the Wohu Army and the Pioneer Army, they also knew that they obeyed discipline and obeyed commands, and were not a group of mobs.

Wang Lu knew that the reason why these soldiers suffered repeated defeats on Yuan Shu's side was because the generals who commanded them were poor, the training methods had major flaws, the equipment they were equipped with was too ordinary, and the opponents they encountered were too powerful.

Now that these 20,000 Danyang soldiers have been commanded by Wang Lu, the general who once served as division commander among many elite troops of Jin State, has absolute confidence that he can train the newly formed land brigade into a steel force with both water and land. ~
