In later generations, Zhang Shixun always complained about the excessive number of meetings in school, both large and small.
Only now did he realize that if he wanted to manage so many people, he had to hold meetings.
Farmers are used to being free and undisciplined, and are not easy to manage in a unified manner.
It takes a lot of effort to organize them and glue them together.
In recent times, he has been calling meetings with the village chiefs every day, explaining everything over and over again, with the most important purpose being to brainwash them and unify their understanding and thinking.
The top priority is training the troops.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the court, Zhang Shixun called it a training camp.
He specifically contacted Han Shizhong and asked him to select more than ten soldiers from the First Army to help.
There is only a little over a month left until spring sowing, and we must take advantage of this time to complete the initial training.
There were more than 800 young and strong people in the seven villages. After preliminary screening, Zhang Shixun selected 500 of them to participate in training.
In addition, he transferred another 300 people from Li Moulue to participate in the training.
To put it bluntly, these people are bandits and are even more difficult to manage.
Everyone was arranged to stay in the vacant rooms in Zhang Xiaozhuang. The vacant rooms here had been planned long ago and were built entirely in accordance with the regulations of later military camps.
After the training began, the concept of defending the country was instilled in them while they were training.
The boring training began.
There is a five-kilometer cross-country run in the morning. This is a public subject and everyone must participate.
Standing and queueing during the day.
You can't be idle at night either, there is an hour of literacy training time.
For the farmers who were used to being free and undisciplined, this was an immense torture, even more painful than killing them.
Unlike the training during the First Army, this time Zhang Shixun trained the farmers with a horse whip.
If you encounter anyone complaining, being lazy, or slacking off, you will be whipped.
Those who refuse to change their ways after repeated warnings will be put in solitary confinement.
Someone couldn't bear the hardship and ran away secretly. Zhang Shixun confiscated his family's land without saying a word and drove him out of the village.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Although it's old-fashioned, it works every time.
After seeing this, the others became much more honest and no one dared to test the law again.
Of course, Zhang Shixun was not always strict, but used both kindness and force.
Three meals a day are free, so as long as you are not afraid of being full, you can eat as much as you want.
Zhang Shixun has no shortage of food now.
He had purchased a lot of grain before the invasion of the Jin soldiers. After the invasion, he got all the bean materials in Moutuogang.
The so-called bean material is black beans.
This thing is a good thing in later generations. It has high protein content and contains a variety of trace elements. It is a pure healthy food.
In order to avoid it being too boring, Zhang Shixun showed them a movie every three days. The content covered everything, including ancient wars, martial arts, and fantasy.
The soldiers called the movie "The Book of Heaven", which was their favorite.
More than a month passed and the training came to an end.
Spring plowing could not be delayed, so Zhang Shixun selected one hundred people from these people to stay, and the rest went home to farm.
Zhang Shixun handed over the remaining one hundred people to Hei Wuchang for training.
It is completely based on the training of later special forces.
He himself also joined in the training.
Another month passed, and only more than thirty people were left out of the hundred.
Very harsh.
Those who can persevere to the end are the elite among the elite.
Fortunately, Yue Fan is among them.
Zhang Shixun firmly believed that because of his presence, even if Yue Fan met Yang Zaixing again, he would not die at his hands.
…………
After Emperor Huizong of Song arrived in Zhenjiang, he returned to his old ways and began to lead a luxurious and hedonistic life as an emperor, and he seized power and caused chaos in the government.
In order to gain promotion, local officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang plundered the people's wealth, abused their labor, and levied taxes without limit, making the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang a chaotic place.
At this time, rumors were spreading everywhere in the capital that the retired emperor was about to be restored.
Emperor Zhao Huan was very troubled by the retired emperor and his entourage's usurpation of power and disorderly governance. He was worried that internal troubles would be worse than external threats and that the southeastern land might not belong to the court. Therefore, he also took some measures to closely monitor the movements of the retired emperor and his entourage, and strictly ordered officials from all places to refuse to carry out the retired emperor's orders.
At the same time, Zhao Huan sent people to Jiangnan to persuade the emperor to return to Beijing.
After repeated persuasion, the retired emperor finally started his journey back to the capital, but his journey was not smooth.
When Zhao Ji arrived in Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, he refused to leave. He proposed to go to Taiqing Palace in Bozhou to burn incense, and then go to Luoyang, Xijing to "command the troops" to prevent the Jin army from coming again.
Of course Zhao Huan could not agree, so he sent Li Gang to persuade him.
In order to eliminate the conflict between Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, father and son, Li Gang tried his best to explain for Song Qinzong and finally persuaded the retired emperor Song Huizong to agree to return to the capital.
After Zhao Ji returned to Kaifeng, he lived in Longde Palace, but the war between Song and Jin made him very uneasy. He still wanted to go to Luoyang, the Western Capital, to "train troops." For this reason, he secretly sent someone out of the palace to find Zhang Shixun and asked him if he was willing to go to Luoyang with the emperor to train troops.
Zhang Shixun refused outright.
Are you kidding me?
When you were in power, I kindly helped you train your troops, but you made things difficult for me everywhere. You only thought of me after you left the country. What had I done before?
The key point is, the new emperor Zhao Huan has finally coaxed you back, how can he allow you to go out and have fun again?
Just as they sent away the people sent by Zhao Ji, Wang Meng arrived.
"Brother Wang, you are such a rare guest." Zhang Shixun welcomed him into the living room.
Wang Meng said, "I was asked to come here by someone."
"Oh! By whom?"
"Mr. Nie."
Zhang Shixun was startled. "Nie Shan?"
