Valley Emperor

Old Man Sun didn't stay in Liushazhuang for long. He left in a hurry after only half a day. Two bandits from the New Army of the Tang Dynasty left with him.

These two bandits are people from the cargo battalion under Bai Yunqi's hands. They will be responsible for the central contact and coordinate the delivery of goods between the two sides.

At the same time, Old Man Sun also left a young man in the Datang New Army, who is also responsible for the central liaison.

When Old Man Sun went back, he did not bring even a deposit of silver or two. After all, this is the first time the two sides have cooperated. Li Xuan did not look at handing over a large amount of silver to him as a deposit. If Old Man Sun took the money and disappeared immediately, Who is Li Xuan looking for?

Therefore, the transaction model between Sun Laotou and the Tang Dynasty was very primitive. After the two parties made a verbal agreement, Sun Laotou directly transported the goods to Zhengtai County, and then conducted face-to-face transactions in a neutral and safe area recognized by both parties.

One-handed payment and one-handed delivery!

In order to prevent accidents, the delivery location is uncertain, and there will be liaison personnel left by both parties to communicate and temporarily decide the delivery location for each time.

At the same time, the scale of each transaction is not large, and risks are avoided through frequent transactions but the amount of each transaction is controlled within a certain range.

On the one hand, this is to avoid being taken by the Ming army. At the same time, both sides are worried about each other. Li Xuan is worried that old man Sun will bring the Ming army to rob the silver. materials from the past.

The scale of each transaction is small, even if there is a loss, everyone can accept it.

After the old man Sun left, Li Xuan called Qian Mengjiu and Bai Yunqi in again, but this time he was talking about logistics.

But before Li Xuan could speak, Qian Mengjiu just started talking about this issue:

"Since the surnamed Sun can be found, there must be other people who are willing to take risks for the money. Can we find a few more people and try to find more suppliers?" Qian Mengjiu said.

Bai Yunqi also said: "It's not a good thing to put eggs in one basket. We should have as many logistical supply channels as possible. Besides, who knows if the old man Sun can get enough supplies!"

Seeing the reactions of the two people, Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction. Qian Mengjiu and Bai Yunqi were obviously not frightened by what Old Man Sun said that they could supply the entire new army of the Tang Dynasty, and kept what they should have. vigilance.

He immediately said: "What the two Ai Qing said is very true, since you have already known the seriousness of this matter, how do you know what to do next?"

Qian Mengjiu said: "Go back to Your Majesty, I will find other big businessmen to expand our supply channels!"

Bai Yunqi also said: "I will also contact several small businessmen who have cooperated with us before. Although their supply is small, I believe that as long as they have money to make, they will naturally expand their scale, and we cooperate with them. It's been some time, and it's more reliable than that surnamed Sun!"

As early as last year, the Tang Dynasty secretly contacted several small merchants outside the mountains to sell loot, buy salt, iron, sulfur, saltpeter and other materials.

It is necessary to continue to deepen cooperation with them, and even support them as a window for external procurement of materials!

Just when Qian Mengjiu and Bai Yunqi were busy expanding their supply channels, the Datang New Army started a new round of training.

In the past few days, the Datang New Army has recruited a large number of recruits, and they are still recruiting. They will continue to recruit until the three infantry battalions are full before stopping the current large-scale recruiting behavior.

The news of the large-scale recruitment of the Datang New Army has spread all over the surrounding countryside. Every day, dozens or even hundreds of people flock from all directions to join the Datang New Army.

These people who came to want to be soldiers were naturally not to rebel or to have a good impression of the Tang Dynasty. The reason they came here was very simple: they valued the conditions for recruiting new soldiers by the new army of the Tang Dynasty!

Among them, the condition of being able to eat enough every day is enough for many poor children who can't eat to come here.

Their thoughts are very simple, they just want to eat enough, as for what Li Xuan wants to do, what the Tang Dynasty wants to do, whether they rebel or not, they basically ignore it.

Many people don't even know what a rebellion is!

Quite a lot of people thought that the Tang Dynasty was still a group of bandits, and they came here to join the bandit gang.

In these swarms, the Datang New Army recruited hundreds of new soldiers in just a few days, and replenished them to three infantry battalions in order.

And since these three infantry battalions have been established, and the soldiers have begun to take shape, they naturally need training!

Although the Datang New Army only trains new recruits for three months, which seems to be very short, in fact, the requirements will be very high.

Because in these three months, their training is actually only a few simple things, the first is formation, the second is discipline, and the last is tactical movements, and these three training items are accompanied by Physical Training.

However, before the high-intensity training is officially launched, the recruits have to be supplemented with nutrition. Otherwise, Li Xuan dares to ensure that a large group of people can faint on the training ground on the spot.

Even though these recruits are from peasant families, their background determines that they have a hard-working character, but fainting during training has nothing to do with their character, but physical fitness.

The most obvious gap is that the existing musketeers in the Datang New Army, even if most of them are still half-sized boys, but after a year of nutritional supplementation and physical training ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ basically all of them are It is a muscle, and it is easy to run a few kilometers with a rifle.

After all, running if you can't fight is the core tactic of the new army of the Tang Dynasty. If you can't escape long distances, it will be a death to encounter a large group of Ming troops on the battlefield.

To achieve the same physical fitness as the existing musketeers, these recruits need at least half a year of physical training, and they must maintain a rich nutritional intake during this process.

In order to allow the soldiers to eat well and get rich nutritional intake to cope with the high-intensity training, Li Xuan specially ordered: Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, two dry meals and one porridge are provided a day, three meals a day.

This level of food supply can't be said to be open, but at least they can eat enough.

It's just that so many recruits were added all at once, and the shortage of food was also increased instantly. Seeing that the food reserves were less and less day by day, Li Xuan personally ordered the establishment of the so-called 'grain collection department' under the Privy Council, specializing in the collection of grain and grass. .

And just a few days after the establishment of the Grain Requisition Division, its reputation is already stinking all over the four towns and eight villages, and everyone is talking about it!
