Chapter 906: They need to expand their military strength

"Captain Jiang, calm down, calm down. They are just new students, and they still think like farmers, so they are a little lazy." Xu Shuli from Fuliu Town came out to plead for mercy, and then signaled to the students: "Why don't you apologize to your instructor Jiang quickly!"

The students were not stupid either. They begged, "Master, we know we were wrong and we will definitely change. Please forgive us this time!"

Jiang Dalang said nothing. After glancing at them, he gave the order: "Follow the military flag. Those who fail to keep up will be flogged at the least, or even disqualified from admission, or even be implicated as the person in charge of the selection in Fuliu Town!"

After saying this, his gaze fell on Xu Shuli and the four village heads of Fuliu Town.

Xu Shuli and the four village heads: "..."

Although we showed a little preference for the children of our clan when selecting people, they were also investigated by the government. You can't beat us for this!

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Assemble, line up, stand at attention, look at the military flag, and follow the military flag!" Xu Sanjun personally led several soldiers to lead them.

Can't keep up?

Then just bang bang bang.

After fighting so many times, the students from Fuliu Town dared not be lazy anymore and ran like a whirlwind.

As for Wu Xiaoqi, who was in charge of leading the students from Fuliu Town, he didn't dare to come at all... Because of Wu Lichang's family, he now wants to change his surname. Fortunately, he was transferred from Linshan County and his background is clean, otherwise he would have been imprisoned by the government army.

In addition to Fukuryu Town, we also encountered teams from other towns along the way that day.

Any town team they encountered would be whipped one or more times by Jiang Dalang and his men.

Therefore, by the time he arrived at the county martial arts hall, Instructor Jiang's reputation for brutal beatings had spread throughout the county and township martial arts halls.

The routes of Leibao Town and Junshi Town are opposite to Taifeng Town, so the students did not meet Jiang Dalang and were not beaten.

Lei's youngest son and nephew didn't believe it. They said, "Little Brother Jiang from the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families? That's impossible. Our head of the village said that Little Brother Jiang is very easy to talk to. Our head of the village wishes he was his own son."

Lei Lichang's youngest son nodded: "Yeah, that's right."

His father really did praise Jiang Dalang often, and he had also met Jiang Dalang, who looked like a sunny, handsome and kind brother.

"My fellow comrades, Captain Jiang has made great contributions in killing the enemy. He is a hero. We cannot give heroes nicknames behind their backs." said the youngest son of Captain Lei.

Xu Lianmu looked at him and asked, "What's your name?"

Lei Lichang's youngest son: "Lei Sanbao."

Xu Lianmu's mouth twitched. "Your father took the trouble to come up with a name. My name is Xu Lianmu, from Fuliu Town. This morning, we met the Taifeng Town team. Jiang Duda led the troops and beat us back and forth."

He was very excited, but was afraid of being beaten, so he spoke in a low voice, looking around, fearing that the soldier who had beaten Jiang Du would suddenly appear again and beat him up.

The students from Fuliu Town all nodded and said, "We will swear on our lives that what Lianmu said is true. If you don't believe us, just look at our injuries."

They rolled up their sleeves, stretched out their faces, pointed at their necks, and let Lei Sanbao and the others see their scars.

After Lei Sanbao and the others saw this, they also started to grumble in their hearts. However, because they had a good impression of the Qin and Jiang families, Lei Sanbao and the others thought, "It must be you who made some mistake."

Xu Lianmu was almost angry to death: "We have evidence, but you still don't believe us and help Jiang beat him up."

"Just wait, when school starts tomorrow, you will know how powerful Jiang Duda is."

No need to wait until school starts.

At the beginning of the next day at five in the morning, a series of clanging gong sounds were heard.

The sound of whipping came again.

"We must gather at Maochu. Now that everyone is not gathered, we will attack them all!"

"Ah, stop hitting me. I forgot. I must remember it tomorrow!"

"School hasn't started yet, and we're not official students yet. You can't hit us!"

The person who shouted this was dragged out and given special care.

Jiang Dalang, wearing a hundred-household armor, stood aside and stared at the students: "The Xiangwu Hall was born to fight the enemy. As students, you are formal soldiers. Soldiers are to risk their lives to fight for lives! If you still regard yourselves as ordinary farmers, you will be beaten endlessly!"

"All punishments are in accordance with the military regulations of the Wei Dynasty. It's useless to file a complaint with the government. You will only punish your family and the village!"

The idea of collective responsibility was mentioned almost every time they were beaten, simply because they had the power and collective responsibility had to be ingrained in their minds so that they would not use their power to bully the villagers.

Lei Sanbao and the others were stunned. This was Brother Jiang's voice. He actually loved beating people!

Lei Sanbao and the others didn't know that Jiang Dalang was already very merciful. On a real battlefield, there were no beatings, only corpses and limbs.

The students from towns and villages across the county were trained by Jiang Dalang before school started.

At noon, when Magistrate Kang, Tian Shi Qi, Captain Wang of the Imperial Guard, and lords from all parties (donors of funds) arrived at the village of the martial arts hall in the suburbs of the county, they saw groups of students from various villages who stood like pine trees, spoke like bells, and had an energy like the bright sun.

Xu Shuli from Fuliu Town: "..."

I get it, those brats deserve a beating!

Boom boom boom!

Boom boom boom!

The sound of war drums echoed throughout the village martial arts hall which covered several hundred acres.

County Magistrate Kang, Captain Wang, Grandpa Qin, Tianshi Qi, Old Man Jing and others went up to the platform and delivered speeches.

At the end of the speech, they all used the words of Duke Yan: "We are strong like the sun, fighting the enemy and defending the border, protecting the weak, and living up to your majesty's grace!"

After hearing this, the students from all the villages also shouted: "We will be as strong as the sun, fight against the enemy and defend the border, protect the weak, and live up to the grace of His Majesty!"

I don’t know why, but my blood was boiling and I really wanted to protect my fellow villagers!

Not only the students from other schools, but also students like Ying Zilin felt so.

"Captain Jiang, how about we shoot the flag together to start the school year?" Captain Wang of the Imperial Guard invited.

Originally, he was supposed to shoot the flag alone to start the school, but he liked Jiang Dalang very much and wanted to give him this honor. He also believed that with Jiang Dalang's ability, he would not mess up the flag shooting.

"Okay." Jiang Dalang agreed.

The next moment, he and Captain Wang took bows, drew their bows, put arrows on them, and aimed at the tall flagpole beside the parade ground.

Whizzing!

Two arrows were shot at the same time, flying over the sky above the parade ground and hitting the tall flagpole at the side of the ground.

Ding Ding!

The rope holding the flag was shot through.

With a whoosh, a large banner embroidered with "Dawei Township Wutang III" fell like a waterfall.

Boom boom boom!

The war drums beat urgently. When they stopped, Captain Wang shouted, "The third township martial arts hall of the Great Wei is officially open!"

School has started, and Baofu County finally has the military force to protect the county.

Magistrate Kang and other county officials, including the county's headmen, village chiefs, and masters, were extremely happy, and their fear of the Dongmo attack was reduced by five points.

Why are you so confident?

One reason was that they had not heard of the attack from the East Desert Army, and they always felt that this disaster was getting farther and farther away from them.

The second reason is that the county and township martial arts halls have a total of 1,880 students!

There are 1,880 students, which is almost enough to match the military strength of 30 county military garrisons.

Ever since Emperor Wuxing dispatched troops to attack the capital, the strength of the troops in the county garrisons in the northeastern states has never exceeded sixty.

Now that a county has dozens of times more troops, can they not expand?

If County Magistrate Kang was not more knowledgeable, even he would have been a little inflated.

And this is just one county. All the prefectures in the Northeast Province and some important counties under the prefectures have also built local martial arts halls.

The troops are too numerous, and the big guys who have never experienced a real battlefield are naturally very confident.
