Liu Feng had brought back a group of people from Youzhou City before. These people came with their families, but some of them handed over their house deeds and land deeds to Liu Feng.
Well, now it just so happens that these things come in handy.
Although the value of these land deeds and house deeds is not high, Liu Feng is not planning to do big things in Youzhou. He just needs to use them as warehouses.
If you really want to sell salt, you need to build a good reputation. In this era, there is no advertising, so word of mouth is the best advertising.
Word of mouth will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Then you won’t have to worry about not being able to sell your salt.
As a result, those small salt merchants had only two choices: either place orders from Liu Feng, or close down and let Liu Feng take over the business.
In the evening, Liu Feng arranged for someone to watch over the salt pond, and he rested for a while after dinner.
Then he took his spear and stretched his muscles in the huge training ground outside the village.
The number of Tiger Roar Army soldiers in the village is increasing, and he needs a place to gather and train.
Anyway, the land use rights of the entire village are in Liu Feng's hands, so he built this place extremely large.
However, Liu Feng did not waste the prime land. This piece of land was originally a wasteland, and it was a series of terraced fields, so the comprehensive utilization was not high.
So there is no need to grow crops.
There is also a forest next to it, and the undulating hills can also be used as a place for the Tiger Roar Army to conduct weight-bearing physical training.
This place has another advantage, it is relatively far away from various military industries. Liu Feng is very satisfied with this.
As soon as he arrived at the training ground, warm cheers flooded into Liu Feng's ears like a tide.
Since coming to the village, these soldiers have been living a very good life. They have free food and accommodation, and the food is better than that of regular troops.
The soldiers' enthusiasm for training naturally increased.
Especially these soldiers who moved from Youzhou, when they heard their predecessors talk about how Liu Feng commanded the army to repel the Northern Barbarians and kill those Northern Barbarians, they were even more excited and wished that a pair of Northern Barbarian cavalry would come to them to practice.
Therefore, although the two brothers of the Linghu family trained extremely strictly, these soldiers never complained.
Seeing that it was Liu Feng who arrived, the two brothers of the Linghu family on the training ground also smiled happily.
They have been training for so long, but this is Liu Feng's first time stepping into the training ground.
They thought Liu Feng was here to test their training results, but they didn't know that Liu Feng just wanted to stretch his muscles.
"General, I've already mastered the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation you taught me. Would you like to see how it works for everyone?"
"Okay, I just happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll just play with my brothers."
Liu Feng crossed his arms and called all the village guards commanded by Lin Xiaoxi. Then, the two groups began to practice in the training ground.
Collapsed shield soldiers, bamboo shoots, spears.
The perfect combination of these three types of troops was the original prototype of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation.
However, when they were fighting the Northern Barbarians at the East Gate, Liu Feng had not had time to train, and the formation at that time was just a simple arrangement to deal with the Northern Barbarians.
After the battle with the Northern Barbarians, Liu Feng passed the specific methods of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation to the two brothers of the Linghu family, and the two brothers began to train systematically.
The so-called Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation is actually similar to the pocket formation that Liu Feng arranged when defending the east gate. It is a method that requires extremely particular attention to the coordination between various types of troops.
The main attack method is to cooperate with the enemy and kill them.
A small formation consists of twelve to sixteen people. The first person is the captain of the team. This person needs to have certain military qualities and stands at the front of the formation.
The captain's equipment is also lighter than others. He is equipped with a long sword. He not only observes the situation, commands his own team, but also goes up to finish off the enemy when necessary.
The two swordsmen and four others at the back are shield soldiers. They are equipped with wooden spears. Their main task is to protect the others behind them while forming a shield line of defense and effectively using spears to kill the enemy.
They can also throw wooden spears to kill enemies from a distance, because each of them is also equipped with a long sword.
There are four to six people behind, and they are holding bamboo spears. Their main function is to kill the enemy cavalry.
Later on, there were also arrangements of four or six people. These people were holding spears and were the main attacking team. After the tower shields defended against the enemy's bows and arrows and Takenori effectively killed the cavalry, these people appeared with spears in their hands, using the piercing power of the spears to quickly kill the enemy.
At the end of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation is still one person. This person is the all-rounder of the team. He is not only responsible for food and logistics, but also serves as a messenger.
In order to improve the last person's mobile combat capability, Liu Feng specially equipped the last person in each small formation with a light crossbow with forty-eight crossbow arrows, which can kill the enemy from a long distance.
Twelve to sixteen people form a small mandarin duck and butterfly formation, and about sixty people form a company.
Then five companies of 300 people form a battalion, five battalions of 1,500 people form a regiment, and five regiments of 7,500 people form a division.
Liu Feng's military organization was not based on that of the Dali Dynasty, but he organized his own system based on the military system of the new era.
Not only the more than a thousand people now do this, but in the future, whether it is cavalry or other troops, they will follow this system.
At present, the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation has trained about 300 people, which is the size of a camp. Linghu Chongshan is now in charge of the specific command and is the battalion commander of this camp.
The cavalry under Liu Lang is also the size of a battalion, all commanded by Liu Lang.
The remaining people were organized into a reinforced battalion and all placed under the command of Linghu Yuanshan.
Wang Dingliu and other major generals under Liu Feng are currently subordinates of Linghu Chongshan.
As for Liu Feng's disciples, the three-three archers led by Wang Dian and others, now that they have all been equipped with crossbows, they have all been handed over to Linghu Yuanshan's command.
After careful calculation, Liu Feng's army has reached the size of five battalions, about 1,500 people.
By then, Liu Feng planned to add one battalion of light cavalry, two battalions of crossbow battalions, and one more unit of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation, and the number of the Tiger Roar Army would reach its limit.
Three thousand people is already a force that cannot be underestimated, and this is also the limit that Linghu Zheng can give him.
If there are more.
Emperor Shunde would definitely suspect Liu Feng of treason again.
Three thousand people were nothing but a mob in the eyes of the imperial censors and other officials and generals in the court, and were not worth worrying about.
In half an hour, the two teams completed the drill.
Liu Feng silently gave thumbs up to these people in his heart.
The two brothers of the Linghu family are really good at training soldiers, and these soldiers perform their drills in an extremely professional manner.
The individuals in the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Formation cooperate extremely closely. A team is small in number and can be mobilized very flexibly, with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
