The ninth update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Fenglin Town, where Liu Ting's 4,000 troops are stationed, is located in the middle section of Hualien City, Obi Island. The plain terrain of Fenglin Town accounts for half, and the remaining rivers and hills accounts for half. Fenglin Town is called Duoxi Town, with east-west flowing including Shoufeng Creek, Beiqingshui Creek, Fenglin Creek, Wanli Creek, Matai'an Creek, etc. The north-south flowing towards Hualien Creek, which has coastal mountains. The soil is fertile and rich agricultural products are rich, making it an important grain base in Hualien City.

According to legend, when the phoenix forest was not blooming, it was a large lush forest, and mulans climbing on the woods were growing everywhere. From the outside, they looked like a "phoenix spreading their wings", so the people of Damingchao who moved to cultivate the land called this place the "phoenix forest".

The central mountain range is to the west of Fenglin Town’s base and the unopened wilderness area to the south. If bandits and wild soldiers attack Hualien City, Fenglin Town will be attacked as a result.

Judging from what Tang Xiao learned before, there were more than 4,000 soldiers in Fenglin's garrison, divided into four camps, with about 1,000 people in each camp. The full rank of the camps in Daming Dynasty should have two thousand people, but the garrison in Fenglin Town obviously lacked enough troops. The names of the four camps were Hong Xiu, Yin Yang, Que Qi and Hu Run. They were all powerful people of the sixth level of the human Yuan level. Now Yin Yang is dead at Tang Xiao's hands.

According to the laws and regulations of the Daming Dynasty, only after the martial arts cultivation level is mastered by the sixth level of Yuan, can he serve as a lieutenant in the army. A chief lieutenant like Liu Ting must at least reach the first level of Earth Yuan to be able to serve as a lieutenant. This is a hard leverage and no one can do it.

However, even if the new recruits reach the sixth level of the Renyuan level, they cannot hold the corresponding position without making enough military achievements. Just like Tang Xiao, now at the fifth level of the Renyuan level, under normal circumstances, they can serve as a commander in the army, but because he has no military achievements, they must start with ordinary soldiers.

The environment of the station was a bit bad, which was beyond Tang Xiao's expectations. A huge schoolyard stood alone on the edge of Fenglin Town. The ground of the schoolyard was bumpy and many barracks were built around. When Tang Xiao came over, the schoolyard was empty, with only a few soldiers sitting on the side of the schoolyard betting on the paijiu. They had no armor on their bodies and their uniforms were very worn.

Tang Xiao couldn't help but frown. When he was in Taijing City, he saw how powerful the army of the Daming Dynasty was, why was it so dilapidated here?

"Most of the military expenditure allocated from above have been detained in Hualien City, and there is not enough military expenditure, so there is only this condition. I am afraid that the young master will not be able to bear the suffering." Liu Ting saw what Tang Xiao was thinking, so he explained to him casually.

Now Liu Ting has no hope of revenge for the family, but he is forced by his enemy's son Tang Xiao to follow him and be a slave to him. He is already desperate, so he is stumbled on his life day by day. Originally, he was not in charge of business at Fenglin Town, and now he doesn't want to manage business even more.

"Call all the soldiers." Tang Xiao is not a waste of time here. Before he came, he had thought about it. First, he wanted to make some military achievements and promote it, and second, he also had to use the food and salary of the Daming Dynasty to cultivate his own team. This is not possible now.

"Is Liu Dutong back?" Several soldiers in the schoolyard who were surrounding the stone table and using Paijiu Xiaogao betting looked up and greeted Liu Ting, smiling, not as good as the military majesty that Tang Xiao imagined.

"Tell me my order and let four...oh, three lieutenants come to the meeting hall, and everyone comes to the schoolyard to gather." Liu Ting lazily greeted several soldiers.

"Okay." Several soldiers reluctantly left the stone table, bargained and discussed with each other, and asked one of the very thin soldiers to go to Fenglin Town to find the three lieutenants.

Tang Xiao followed Liu Ting into the conference hall. The so-called conference hall is just a barracks. The wooden door was dilapidated. When you pushed the door, a smell of mold came to your nose, and it felt like you hadn't cleaned for a few months.

"Isn't this a frontier position? Haven't a war been fought for a long time?" Tang Xiao asked Liu Ting in confusion. He originally put his spiritual sense into Liu Ting's mind and could search it out by himself, but he didn't want to explore it so much, so he simply asked Liu Ting to answer it himself.

"I don't even have military pay, what kind of war is going to fight? Those battle reports are all fooling us. The bandits and we are all familiar with each other. Everyone looks up and sees them. They go down the mountain to grab things, and sometimes they will share half of us when they get it. If they really want to fight, they will go directly to Hualien City. I am more than a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people, and they are really not enough for them to kill." Liu Ting replied to Tang Xiao with a smile.

"More than one thousand soldiers? Isn't it four thousand?" Tang Xiao looked at the official documents in his hand. The Fenglin station had a full 8,000 people, but now there are actually 4,000 people, and about half of them are missing. But after Liu Ting said this, the lack of essays is far more than half.

"There are more than 4,000 people receiving the food and salary, and the actual number is less than 2,000. The additional two thousand military salary is all respected by the Lin brothers in Hualien City. Among the two thousand people, about 500 are villagers of Fenglin Town, and they are also empty salary, which is our own small treasury." Liu Ting spread his hands to Tang Xiao, and couldn't help but show some mockery expressions on his face, probably because he thought Tang Xiao's seriousness was very funny.

"The army of Daming Dynasty has this kind of virtue. I want to fight back to Jiuzhou Continent to revive the country?" Tang Xiao couldn't help but shake his head. The gap between ideals and reality was too big.

"Rebellion of Manchu and restore the country? Hahahaha..." Liu Ting laughed loudly, as if he had heard something extremely funny.

Seeing Liu Ting's expression, Tang Xiao had the urge to slap him to death, but now is not the time. He has not really grasped military power yet. Liu Ting still has the value of exploitation. If he likes to smirk, he will smirk. Anyway, he can't laugh for a few days.

Although Tang Xiao agreed to Princess Yitai, he actually did not fight back to the Jiuzhou Continent to rebel against Manchu. What he thought was to build his own army step by step, strengthen his own power, and then unify the world. But at this stage, his goal does not conflict with the Daming Dynasty's rebel against Manchu.

If you don’t sweep a room, how can you sweep the world? Therefore, the most urgent task in front of Tang Xiao is to use Liu Ting to rectify more than a thousand soldiers, make some military achievements, cooperate with the advancement of martial arts, and be promoted to the commander, general, and general as soon as possible to lead a military horse, lay a solid foundation for future lofty goals and lay a solid foundation.

...

Half an hour passed, and dozens of soldiers came back from the schoolyard. None of the three left-behind lieutenants saw each other. Tang Xiao was a little angry and manipulated Liu Ting to go out. He cursed at the schoolyard a few times, asking the soldiers who came back to call all the three lieutenants over within ten minutes, otherwise the military law would deal with it.

Ten minutes later, no lieutenant came back. Half an hour later, the lieutenant named Hu Run came back, and the other two lieutenants were still missing.

"What's the matter in a hurry to call us back?" Hu Run rushed into the barracks and asked Liu Ting carelessly. It seemed that they were doing well in normal times, and they did not have the majesty of the superiors and subordinates that Tang Xiao imagined.

"Where are your soldiers? They all called to the school ground." Tang Xiao manipulated Liu Ting and asked Hu Run.

"If you have something to do, I'll just arrange it. Don't go through those forms. It's so troublesome to call you to the school." Hu Run looked at Liu Ting with some wonder, and then looked at Tang Xiao sitting in the room.

"Are you going to disobey the military order?" Liu Ting looked very angry. Of course, Tang Xiao was angry.

"Master? What happened?" Hu Run looked confused.

"I asked you to call the soldiers to the schoolyard and ask me to say it again?" Liu Ting yelled at Hu Run.

"Yes, I'll go find someone now." Hu Run felt even more strange. She looked at Tang Xiao in the room and retreated out of the barracks.

"There are many things that require hard work on weekdays. These lieutenants are very quick to do, so there is no need to be so fierce to them." After Liu Ting took back his physical control, he couldn't help but talk to Tang Xiao.

"Many things? Help you make fraud and manage Hualien City? Or do you discuss with the bandits how to steal the common people and then divide the spoils?" Tang Xiao was really angry now. Although he was not a noble person, he always adhered to the attitude of doing things, as if he was doing things well, rather than being as casual and perfunctory as Liu Ting.

"Whatever you want, do whatever you want." Liu Ting simply stopped speaking and just sneered.

...

"Report to the commander, Captain Hong went to Hualien City for official duties. Captain Que was busy with military affairs last night and slept too late. He has not woken up yet. Captain Hu has just returned." The thin soldier who was pushing Paijiu reported to Liu Ting in sweat at the beginning.

"What is the official business of Captain Hong going to Hualien City? What is the military business of Captain Que last night?" Liu Ting, who was manipulating Tang Xiao, sternly asked the thin soldier.

"This...this..." The thin soldier seemed to have no idea how to answer.

Tang Xiao and Liu Ting walked out of the barracks and went to the half-de-de-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square

Tang Xiao manipulated Liu Ting and Xiangdian to roughly count the bottom of the stage. Now there are about 400 people returning to the schoolyard. Even the 1,500 organization mentioned by Liu Ting, after hearing the order, only less than one-third came.

"Fox Captain" Tang Xiao yelled into the schoolyard.

"Master? What's the matter with me?" Hu Run walked over and looked up at Liu Ting in confusion.

"How many soldiers are there in your real numbers?" Tang Xiao asked Hu Run.
