Chapter 268: First Founding of the Army Unified Thoughts

Li Mi has just joined Wagang Village.

But Li Mi was born in the family of three ministers of four generations and once raised an army with Yang Xuangan. Although he was defeated, he was also well-known in the world.

Naturally, his treatment is incomparable to Zhao Mingyuan, and it is far from comparable to that of Zhao Mingyuan.

Li Mi is also urging Zhai Rang to capture Luokou Cang, but to capture Luokou Cang, he must first take down Xingyang.

But now the person who serves as the guard of Xingyang is Zhang Xutuo, a famous general who defeated Wagang Village several times.

Zhai Rang was naturally uneasy. After all, he had been driven away by the Sui army. Now he was going to attack the important city of the Sui army and face Zhang Xutuo directly. He didn't know what was going on.

Therefore, Zhai Rang was impatient with Li Mi's constant persuasion in his ears, so he sent Li Mi away and asked him to lobby nearby anti-Sui forces to join Wagang Village.

After all, Li Mi has a great reputation and is really suitable for this job. He has lobbled many small rebels to come and surrender.

This is also the reason why Zhao Mingyuan did not see Li Mi here.

Now, Zhai Rang was a little moved when he heard that Zhao Mingyuan had also made such a strategy.

However, Zhai Rang remained silent on his face and just said, "Sir, great talent!" but did not evaluate Zhao Mingyuan's strategy.

After that, Zhao Mingyuan was naturally kept.

However, unlike Li Mi's entrusted important tasks, Zhai Rang only appointed Zhao Mingyuan as the chief clerk in the army.

The chief clerk is a typical civil servant, who holds documents and handles affairs, which is equivalent to the current secretary-general.

However, the power and responsibility in Wagang Village are chaotic, and there are several chief clerks alone. Zhao Mingyuan is actually only responsible for some logistics matters and can provide advice by the way.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were indignant about this and felt that their master Zhao Mingyuan had been underestimated.

Zhao Mingyuan thought this was nothing. After all, he was not famous now and had just joined Wagang Village, so how could he be entrusted with important tasks?

However, although the chief clerk is not very good at being a big official, since he already has the opportunity, he will naturally be like a cone in his pocket and stand out.

Since Zhao Mingyuan was responsible for various logistics matters, he was ready to start with the wounded barracks.

The cure rate of the wounded barracks in ancient times was too low.

Besides, the soldiers have a low status, and there are no good doctors among them.

Most of the truly good doctors are treating high-ranking officials and nobles.

Therefore, most of the wounded camps just bandage the wounds and pour some messy decoctions, and then they can only leave it to fate.

Although there is internal martial arts power in this world, it is better, and it is not much better.

After all, most soldiers are poor and rich in martial arts, and it is impossible for them to have internal strength at all. Those with internal strength are at least a small leader. Naturally, they can hire a doctor and they will not be able to use the injured camp.

Therefore, the wounded barracks were filled with a breath of despair.

When Zhao Mingyuan came here, he first made the next rule, starting with disinfection, cleaning and hygiene, and designs in all aspects.

Then, Zhao Mingyuan also took the lead in diagnosis and treatment.

With his medical skills, the disease will naturally be cured. Even if the medicine is lacking, Zhao Mingyuan can still use the true energy of immortality to cheat.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Wei Zhenzhen also came to help.

Zhao Mingyuan took the opportunity to let Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling practice medical skills. Even if there were any mistakes, the two could make up for it with the true energy of immortality. Soon, they quickly became two miracle doctors.

As for Wei Zhenzhen, Zhao Mingyuan asked her to summon some women from Wagang Village to form a nurse team to take care of the injured.

This series of changes naturally received great praise. The injured were extremely grateful to Zhao Mingyuan, and the despair atmosphere in the injured barracks was wiped out.

As the wounded were cured and returned to the team, they naturally spread Zhao Mingyuan's reputation throughout Wagang Village.

Everyone knows that a new chief clerk named Zhao Mingyuan came to Wagang Village. He improved the situation of the injured barracks so that most injured patients could heal themselves and recover their health.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan quickly became famous in Wagang Village.

After all, no one wants to have to wait for death after being injured in combat. It is naturally a relief to have a trustworthy logistics.

Soon, Zhao Mingyuan's reputation naturally reached Zhai Rang's ears.

When Zhai Rang heard that Zhao Mingyuan had some skills, he assigned him 2,000 soldiers and asked him to prepare to lead the team to the battle.

Now, Zhai Rang has followed Li Mi's persuasion and is preparing to send troops to Luokou City.

Since Zhao Mingyuan is talented, Zhai Rang would not hesitate to give him these 2,000 people to try it out to see what else Zhao Mingyuan can do.

Although 2,000 people sounded like a lot, it seemed like a big deal.

In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Wagang Village, which is less than one percent.

There are not many generals in Wagang Village. It is nothing to ask Zhao Mingyuan to give 2,000 people to try.

Besides, this is not an elite.

Zhao Mingyuan looked at the 2,000 people assigned to him, including the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. There were even many half-sized children and baby soldiers like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Of course, Zhao Mingyuan knew that this was not someone deliberately made things difficult for him, but that's the reality.

The most elite young and middle-aged man had long been selected to become an independent army. As an elite army, the subordinates of other soldiers were not much better than Zhao Mingyuan.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan was not disappointed. After all, there were 2,000 people, which was definitely a lot.

However, although there are people, other aspects are really hard to describe.

Not to mention armor, even weapons are gun sticks, and even the most powerful gun tips are not enough. Many of them even use sharpened sticks as long spears.

This is really like cutting wood for soldiers and rising up the pole for flags!

The ancients really did not deceive me.

Although Zhao Mingyuan has read many military books, unfortunately, due to conditions, many methods cannot be implemented.

For example, if Zhao Mingyuan wanted the soldiers to practice, however, there was no enough food to do such physically consuming labor.

If you don’t have enough food, you’re simply practicing with your life. What’s more, these people are the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, so they naturally cannot stand it.

There was no way, Zhao Mingyuan did not do much exercise, but only strictly enforced discipline, probably just like the military training of college students.

In this way, the suffering people can still bear it.

In fact, there is not much difference in practice in ancient and modern times. It was not until after the musket appeared that people found that the power of volleys was the greatest, and the requirements for discipline were gradually refined.

Although these do not seem to have a big impact on actual combat, they can make these soldiers accustomed to obeying orders.

It is already a good effect to be able to enforce orders.

As for teaching martial arts to enhance their strength, it is not that easy.

Not to mention the literacy rate, letting them understand the high-difficulty problems such as meridian acupoints, it determines that ordinary people cannot learn advanced martial arts at all, and can only learn some external skills such as golden bell covers and iron cloth shirts.

But even such a technique requires refining essence into qi to practice.

This requires a lot of food consumption.

Now that the food can’t be afforded, how can it be enough to practice martial arts?

This is not possible, nor is that. Zhao Mingyuan then discovered that he had learned many methods of training, but due to the quality of soldiers and actual conditions, it was not so simple to implement.

But Zhao Mingyuan was not discouraged. Since material things are difficult, we should work on the spiritual side.

The success of our party has already explained everything.

Even if you remember the bitterness and thought of the sweetness, because once you understand it, Zhao Mingyuan already knew that their suffering was beyond his imagination.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan had no choice but to talk about the future and hope.

Zhao Mingyuan told them that as long as they win this battle and capture Luokoucang, everyone will never have to go hungry again.

This is true, and everyone knows that Luokou stores a lot of food.

Thinking that after capturing Luokou Cang, everyone would be able to have enough food and no longer have to go hungry. Hope surged in everyone's eyes.

After all, the reason why everyone rebelled was because they couldn't survive and would starve to death. If Luokoucang was captured, they could really have enough food, and everyone would definitely work hard.

After all, many people have not known what it feels like to eat full for many years. Some people even don’t know what it feels like to eat full.

Everyone was ready to win this battle and their morale was high.

Zhao Mingyuan took advantage of the situation and continued: "When everyone can eat enough, they will be strong. In this way, even if the Sui army comes again, we will not be afraid. As long as we can eat enough, who can beat us?"

Everyone laughed, yes, if they could eat enough, who would be afraid of the Sui army?

Zhao Mingyuan continued: "We not only want to defeat the Sui army, but also to attack Luoyang and overthrow the rule of the foolish monarch Yang Guang."

When everyone heard this, they were a little stunned.

Why did we overthrow the rule of the Sui Dynasty and attack Luoyang?

Can we do it?

Many people are a little unconfident.

Zhao Mingyuan continued: "Don't have any fantasies about the court anymore.
