Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 530 The Power of the English Longbow
Under Liu Ying's tossing, all the soldiers of Ji Town hated Liu Ying deeply, and even had great resentment towards Yuan Shao.

But when Yuan Tan arrived, he not only expelled Liu Ying, but also opened a warehouse to release grain to relieve the soldiers of Jizhen.

Then he led these soldiers to kill all the wealthy families in Ji Town who had encroached on the people's fields and ran rampant in the village. Except for a part of the money and food from the confiscated homes, they were transported to Yecheng and handed over to the cheap father.

Yuan Tan didn't take a single cent of the remaining money and rations. First, he generously reissued the military pay owed to the soldiers of Ji Town.

The remaining half was stored in the grain and grass depot in the camp of Ji Town.

Moreover, Yuan Tan has not yet sent a private guard, but the Jizhen soldiers' own supply battalion food officer is in charge of supervision.

Under Liu Ying's oppression, the soldiers of Jizhen still stick to Jizhen for more than a year, not only did they not rebel.

He even went out of the city to kill surrounding bandits when necessary.

One reason is that Ji Town was originally their hometown, and these Ji Town officers and men were drawn from the counties and counties around Ji Town.

Whether it is suppressing bandits or guarding Ji Town, they are actually guarding the village.

The other reason is that they really have nowhere to go. After all, all the fields and houses at home are gone, so they are just serving as soldiers here.

Soldiers are all big-bellied men. If they stay at home, the poor rations at home will not be much left after paying rent to the landlord and paying taxes to the court.

Can't feed them at all.

This allowed the soldiers of Jizhen to persevere until now.

With such bitter persistence, the remaining soldiers of Ji Town have already become a united whole.

They trust no one but their own people.

So when Yuan Tan appointed the grain officer of the supply camp in Jizhen to guard the brand new grain depot.

The entire Ji Town soldiers were only grateful to Yuan Tan at first, but after that, their gratitude turned into admiration.

And when Yuan Tan began to implement the land equalization order, some of the soldiers in Jizhen already had their own land instead of renting the land of the wealthy landlords.

The feelings of these Jizhen soldiers towards Yuan Tan have changed from admiration to admiration!

To put it bluntly, these Jizhen soldiers would not frown as long as Yuan Tan ordered them to go down the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire.

After all, Yuan Tan had already said that even if they were killed in battle, their families could continue to cultivate the land they were given.

Until their sons and daughters grow up, they choose to send one person to rejoin the Jizhen Army, which can be regarded as filling the vacancy left by their parents.

During this period, it means that they can work and harvest in the allocated military fields for free, and the harvested food does not have to pay so many exorbitant taxes.

You only need to take out five deals to support the army in Jizhen's army!

With such a policy, how could the soldiers of Jizhen be unwilling to die for Yuan Tan?

Therefore, even in such freezing weather, when Yuan Tan sent an order to the soldiers of Jizhen to continue to maintain a small training session every day and a big training session every two days.

None of these soldiers complained, but they all worked hard and worked hard on the training ground.

This training ground was naturally rebuilt by Yuan Tan after he came to Ji Town.

It is completely copied from the training ground that Yuan Tan used to train young soldiers and Xuzhou Army, but compared with the training ground in Qingping Military Academy, the various facilities here are still somewhat imperfect, and they are all relatively simple equipment.

After all, the time is very short, and Yuan Tan has only been in Ji Town for less than a month.

"Captain Pan Gui! Qi Hou has an order to let the captain lead the troops of the headquarters to listen to him!"

On the training ground, at this moment a messenger hurried in and walked around the training ground, trying to find the person he was looking for.

But when the training ground was being built, Yuan Tan made a special request to accommodate at least 3 people for training at the same time.

So the training ground was built directly outside the city, and a piece of uncultivable wasteland was randomly enclosed, surrounded by a fence, and it was considered a training ground.

One can imagine how vast the training ground is.

Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of soldiers trained in it now, and it is a mess, even under the restraint of their respective chief officers, it is still orderly.

But where is the place where you can find your target just by wandering around?
In desperation, the messenger had no choice but to yell loudly.

Hearing the orderer yelling that they are all waiting for the order, how can these soldiers of Ji Town who are practicing are willing to neglect?

Those who heard the voice hurriedly reported to the brothers next to them and their chief officer, so that one team reported to the other, and soon the captain named Pan Gui received the order.

Hastily wiped his sweat and ran over.

Seeing that the soldier in charge of delivering orders was wearing the black robe that Yuan Tan's personal guards were qualified to wear, he quickly cupped his hands and asked cautiously: "Pan Gui has met your lord, what's the matter with you?"

The black-robed personal guard took a look at Pan Gui, and saw that Pan Gui's physique was indeed strong, although his arms were still a little thin.

But these days, after sufficient food supply, the muscle mass has begun to bulge, so he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing, you just come with me, by the way, remember to greet your brothers, let's go together Go and obey!"

Pan Gui hurriedly obeyed in a solemn voice, and not long after, he summoned a thousand soldiers and followed the black-robed bodyguard towards the gate of Ji Town.

Pan Gui was wondering, could it be that he violated the military order somewhere?

But the black-robed bodyguard said it was a good thing?
Could it be that I have been practicing diligently these days and fell into Qihou's eyes?

Thinking of the treatment under Qihou's command, and the word of mouth of the brothers in the army, it is said that everyone's armor under Qihou's command is a divine armor that has been prayed by Qihou, not to mention indestructible, even more so after wearing it. God help.

Pan Gui's heart couldn't help burning.

Even walking brought a little wind noise.

And those soldiers who followed behind Pan Gui were also full of apprehension and excitement, followed closely behind their chief officer, and arrived at the gate of Ji Town not long after.

At this time, Pan Gui noticed that Qi Hou not only recruited himself, but also recruited the other four captain brothers.

The four captain brothers didn't seem to know what was going on, and they stared wide-eyed when they saw Pan Gui coming.

They looked at each other for a while, but neither spoke.

Although Ji Town has declined, military discipline is still strict, which is why Yuan Tan values ​​this army so much.

Being able to maintain basic military discipline under the management of a bastard chief officer like Liu Ying.

This kind of army, as long as it is rectified a little, even if it is not as good as the Xuzhou new army, and even surpasses the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou government army, it is definitely not difficult.

At this time, Yuan Tan was standing on the city gate, looking down at the [-] selected Jizhen soldiers below, and nodded slightly.

The personal guards still have some sense of propriety in doing things. He specifically asked the personal guards to try to select soldiers who looked strong and strong.

Specifically used to train them to shoot with the longbow.

It's not that Yuan Tan deliberately cheated in order to bluff Jushou, there is no need for that.

Mainly out of the consideration of caring for the soldiers.

It took less than half a month for the soldiers of Ji Town to eat their fill.

These days can't restore the vitality they spent in the past year or so of hard life under Liu Ying's rule.

Only those soldiers who were relatively strong before were able to recover to their full strength in about half a month.

Draw a bow and shoot an arrow, don't think it's an easy job.

Just firing a soft bow more than ten times in a row will exhaust the strength of the arms of ordinary people.

Not to mention, the English longbow is extremely long, and it takes a lot more energy to draw it than an ordinary war bow.

If you choose some weak soldiers and train them as soon as they come up, if they don't know the skills, they may directly strain their arms.

Only these soldiers from Ji Town, who are relatively strong in physique, can ensure that their muscles can bear it in the process of familiarizing themselves with the initial skills.
