Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 104 Chapter [-] Shuangfengling Military Training
As the brick kiln named "Griffin Kiln Factory" at the foot of the platform was officially opened fire, and the housing construction planning in the territory was also carried out in an orderly manner under the planning of Mayor Joel, Frost Maple Ridge finally ushered in a period of stability. day.

The citizens of Igor, who have suffered for a long time due to the infected area, mercenaries and bandits, are finally able to show a sincere and comfortable smile occasionally under the scorching winter sun of Phoenix Terrace.

Besides reading banned books to relieve boredom all day long, the Xiahou official, who just waited to move to a new house, finally found something to do for himself——

Training!

In fact, Xia Houyan had already decided on the development strategy of Shuangfengling's "Combination of Soldiers and Farmers" when he first arrived in the Land of Cracking Soul and compiled a "military team" from the members of the migration team——

In the harsh southern wilderness, the industrial and agricultural productivity that a territory can support is always directly proportional to the military protection it can provide!

Peasants without the protection of soldiers will only be eaten alive by the powerful enemies that surround them!

Therefore, while the artisan group was busy with daily affairs, the agricultural group was busy fishing and picking supplementary food, and the business group was cooking and catching fish as usual, the lord, with the assistance of Clement and Alice, began to make the military affairs of Frost Maple Ridge Training is on the agenda.

Due to the glorious return of Katerina's team, the "Security Team" under the military group composed of former Eagle's Rest Fort guards has now expanded to 38 people. In terms of numbers alone, it is enough to maintain the law and order of the territory, and there is even a surplus;

In contrast, the "Igor Pioneering Army" led by Clement still has only a name and no real members, and it doesn't even have a decent plaque and flag.

Xia Houyan quickly noticed the imbalance in the development of the two military forces.

In fact, the current citizens of Shuangfengling are definitely loyal brothers who have passed the test of time, and the internal security of the territory is not very meaningful;

On the contrary, the pioneer army whose goal is to deploy weapons to the outside world should be the main axis of the territory's military construction!

Therefore, in addition to transferring Master Laurie's apprentice, the wind mage Wilson, to Clement, the lord conceived a more grandiose plan:

Through systematic military training, recruit a group of soldiers for the "Igor Pioneering Army" from the people of Shuangfengling!
Of course, due to the development status of hard work and entrepreneurship, today's Igor's new territory is of course unable to maintain a fully out-of-production standing army;
But being able to train a group of farmers and craftsmen into a militia that can be used in times of crisis is enough to satisfy Xia Houyan!
Even in his plan, the "Igor Pioneering Army" should exist as a militia for quite a long time!
So, taking advantage of the day when the sun was just right, Xia Houyan organized the first military training in Shuangfengling in an open space on the edge of Phoenix Terrace.

The trainees this time were a group of young male leaders in Shuangfengling, there were seven to eighty people, and they were selected entirely on the basis of voluntary registration.

——To Xia Houyan's surprise, the people of Shuangfengling were extremely enthusiastic about signing up for military training, which made one wonder whether they had taken a fancy to the privilege of being able to reduce part of the farming work after becoming a militia.

And it was the guards of the military group who served as the "instructors" of the military training this time.

After Xia Houyan's observation, the level of these guards is actually uneven;

Among them are not only folk masters with extraordinary archery skills like Chris Mann, but also dog soldiers like Tom Lawrence.

For this military training, he had a long talk with Alice all night, and drew up eight reliable candidates from the guards;
Although these few elite guards are not top-notch warriors, they are more than enough to supervise the training of the leaders.

On this day, the sun is strong and the water waves are gentle.

In the anticipation of many trainees, Xia Houyan was wearing a slightly old imperial white military uniform, wearing black leather boots, holding the zombie Dave on a dog leash, and strode boldly onto the new building. The Dianbingtai set up looks like a posturing warlord of the Republic of China.

Fortunately, the official Xiahou was shameless, and he didn't say a few words in front of everyone, "The cannons are firing, hit his mother" or something.

He took Dave by the hand, and talked to the trained citizens in a serious manner, emphasizing the current dangerous situation in the wasteland and the urgent need for military power in the territory, and once again encouraged everyone to seriously accept the training in order to protect their relatives and friends around them, etc...

After the routine, everyone in the audience sang the "Shuangfengling Military Song" in unison, as the last part of the opening ceremony of the "Shuangfengling Phase [-] Military Academy".

When it comes to the military song of Shuangfengling, the lord actually took a little thought;

He said in "We attack the enemy fiercely, and the people lead the people to rush forward; behind us is the Phoenix Terrace, and the Shuangfeng Ridge is more precious than everything" and "The lion heart river is turbulent, and the clouds are surging and dusty mountains" After weighing for a long time, I finally chose the ancient lyrics full of revolutionary and united spirit, "Qiyue has no clothes, and I share the same robe with my son; the lord raises the teacher, and repairs my spear";
As for these earth lyrics, it is completely out of the scope of Ya's consideration if they can still leave some meaning after being translated into the common language of the empire.

After the leader's speech and the routine of everyone singing, the training officially began.

The leaders who signed up for training, under the supervision and leadership of the guard instructors, began to run around the camp.

——Although most of the future militiamen in Shuangfengling are tenant farmers engaged in daily agricultural work, and their physical fitness is enough to look down on the earth nerds who don’t work hard and don’t distinguish between grains, Xia Houyan still puts physical training on top of took the first place:
There are not many people in Shuangfengling, neither does it need this group of militiamen to line up for battle, nor does it expect them to train into martial arts masters like Guo Jing and Yang Guo, who can control thousands of troops and make changes;
To be able to run, to hold a knife, not to mention killing many enemies, at least to be able to protect himself and his family when foreign enemies attack, is Xia Houyan's minimum requirement for this group of militiamen.

Even the lord himself set an example and ran a few laps with the trained team:

The body he got after crossing, even though he could still swing a crowbar, was definitely not strong. Mr. Xiahou had planned to exercise his body for a long time.

According to the training plan drawn up by Alice and Clement, in the future continuous militia training, in addition to exercising physical fitness, they will also practice basic saber combat techniques and learn to use a long-range weapon——

——Of course, this has to wait until the production conditions of the artisan group can provide enough weapon products.

It is worth mentioning that, regarding the choice of long-range weapons, Alice and Clement unanimously rejected the bow and arrow proposal, and insisted on distributing slings to the militiamen.

The reason is simple: unlike many people's imagination, bows and arrows that have actual combat effects are actually not a weapon that can be easily mastered!

To be able to continuously draw and use a hard bow with sufficient lethality, the requirements for muscle strength and body stability are very abnormal, which is why ancient times often used "strength can draw a strong bow" to describe a macho man;
Usually, an excellent human archer will definitely not look like the skinny and handsome elf prince in the movie, but a big muscle bully with infinite strength and muscles all over his body!

Chris Mann, who has a baby face but a strong figure, is the best proof!

In contrast, slings not only have a low learning cost, but are also extremely simple to make, not to mention the need to worry about ammunition issues like bows and arrows-there are gravels everywhere in the wasteland, if you bend down to pick up a piece, you can directly throw it with the sling out!
——Shuangfengling's various strategic plans are always full of simplicity and pragmatism.
