Life in the world of film and television

The two came to Hulu Valley, which had changed a lot. As the hills, valleys, and fields covering more than ten square kilometers were all bought by Li Mu, construction had been going on non-stop for the past few months.

Today, in front of Hulu Valley, a new dock has been built and the road has been repaired on the river that leads directly to the Yangtze River. A straight avenue leads directly to Hulu Valley.

On the Hulu Valley side, the entrance to the valley is narrow, only a dozen feet wide, and a wall more than three feet high has been erected. If necessary, the wall of a dozen feet wide can be guarded, and this place will be a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the valley, various workshops have sprung up one after another. They first took a look at the newly built small blast furnace, hired several relevant technicians at high salaries, and are now trying to conduct trial production based on the method given by Li Mu.

Although Li Mu used a traditional method to make steel, it was already very advanced for this world. With the technical level of this world, although it could be done with difficulty, it still required step-by-step exploration and accumulation of experience.

After all, Li Mu only knew the general methods and steps and was not a professional.

I chatted with these technicians for a while and discussed how to conduct trial production. I also went to visit other workshops, especially the glass workshop and soap workshop, which are currently the hottest. Although they have been expanding in scale, they are still in short supply.

Finally, they arrived at the training ground in the valley, which was also the training base for more than 500 guards.

These more than 500 guards were selected by Li Mu from among the tens of thousands of young and strong victims, with one in dozens or even one in a hundred, and they were people with certain martial arts qualifications.

Taking into account that these people are already adults, Li Mu taught them some easy-to-learn, easy-to-practice... Kung Fu that can quickly develop combat effectiveness. In addition to the Bull Power, Eight Bloody Fighting Styles and Ten Direction Steps... in the past two months, he has gradually compiled more than a dozen similar Kung Fu and taught different martial arts according to each person's situation.

If we talk about what Li Mu spent the most time and energy on in Hulu Valley, it was not the workshop... or the new products... but these more than 500 guards.

Li Mu regarded them as seeds, the seeds of the future army, and attached particular importance to their training.

Although nominally it is guard training, if you look at the training content, it is basically trained according to the military methods.

Although Li Mu had no experience in commanding troops in ancient times, he had rich experience. He grew up from the head of a security group in the Republic of China to a warlord. He had some experience in training and commanding troops. In the zombie world, as a special forces soldier who often went abroad to participate in peacekeeping missions, he also knew the various training methods of the current army in detail.

In the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, the Demon Cult launched massive wars in the Nanyang region to expand its territory. He and Ren Yingying, as the driving forces and people in power behind the scenes, knew the training and combat methods of the Demon Cult's Five Elements Flags, as well as various tactics.

In addition to this world, Li Mu has also read some military books recently. After combining them, or putting them together, he has combined them with the ancient methods of training soldiers to develop a set of training methods.

Li Mu didn't know what kind of army was the best, but a troop with strict military discipline and good discipline would definitely have good combat effectiveness, such as Yue Family Army, Qi Family Army, and the People's Army.

With strict discipline, if certain ideas can be instilled, they can definitely become a strong army in ancient times when morale was extremely important and low morale would lead to collapse at the slightest touch.

To this end, Li Mu not only taught them martial arts and the military's battle formations, but also invited teachers to teach them how to read and write, to eliminate illiteracy for them, so that they could understand the principles of being a human being and know what patriotism is.

In the future, they will be instilled with some ideas and cultivated. As for what ideas, Li Mu is still considering. In the future, the Liao Dynasty will decline and the Jin army will march south. The world may replay the Jingkang Shame. There is a tribe called Mongolia on the grassland. It has also begun to rise and is slowly merging with the surrounding small tribes. In the future, it will become a force that makes the world tremble.

The Liao, Jin, and Mongolia... The Wu Dynasty was actually quite unlucky, with three neighbors that were more powerful than the other. Although the Wu Dynasty was defeated by the Liao, the Treaty of Shanyuan maintained peace for nearly a hundred years. The Wu Dynasty, or the Song Dynasty in another time and space, also maintained at least some respectability.

The next Jin Dynasty, Wu Dynasty, followed the path of the Song Dynasty, but it was more miserable. Half of the territory fell, even the capital was lost, and there was also the Jingkang Shame.

The next more powerful neighbor, Mongolia, suffered an even more tragic ending. Even its country was destroyed and fell under the iron hoofs of foreign races. In the end, 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped off cliffs and died for their country.

The trajectory of the Wu Dynasty might not be the same as that of the Song Dynasty. After all, the Liao Dynasty had not yet been destroyed, and a Mongolian force had already appeared on the grassland, nearly a hundred years earlier. The ending of the Wu Dynasty might be worse than that of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking in this way, it may be feasible to shape national consciousness, instill national ideas, and then instill some patriotism.

However, this point needs to be carefully considered. The importance of ideas and beliefs is not understood by people in this world.

After all, there is no army that is not afraid of death, but an army with its own ideals and beliefs will become a fearless iron army.

Li Mu arrived at the drill ground. Some people were practicing battle formations and various martial arts, while others were practicing military posture and marching.

Although many people think that ancient times and modern times are different after all, asking them to practice military posture and march in step does not seem to improve their combat effectiveness much except for looking better and more majestic.

In fact, it does have an effect. For example, morale. One side's troops look crooked and disorganized, while the other side's troops are neat and tidy, look mighty and majestic, and have strict discipline. Even if the combat effectiveness of both sides is almost the same, after meeting and comparing with each other, the morale will definitely change.

This is of course not the most important thing. Making them stand at attention and march in step is mainly to cultivate their discipline and obedience. At the command, they dare to rush forward. In ancient times, those who could obey orders were strong soldiers.

The training content of these guards not only includes standing at attention and marching in step, but also extremely strict requirements on housework. The bedding must be tidy and the hygiene must be clean. This is also part of cultivating their discipline and obedience.

Of course, Li Mu did not treat them badly in terms of treatment. Not only were they able to eat their fill every day, they also had meat to eat. This was something many people in ancient times dreamed of, not to mention that these were disaster victims who came from the lower class.

Not only that, they also receive a subsidy of one guan of silver every month. In the future, if they reach the training standards and pass the assessment, their salary will be doubled to two guan of silver per month.

This is not the end. Two strings of cash is just the beginning. In the future, Li Mu will set different assessment standards according to the situation. After passing the standards, your salary will be increased. Three strings of cash, four strings of cash, five strings of cash a month... You must work hard to practice your skills and obey discipline, and your salary will become more and more generous.

With such alternating measures, a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other, although the requirements are so strict, these people are actually very enthusiastic in training and have no complaints.
