The sun was scorching, and Du Zhongxiao stood on the ground wearing a hat, watching the army cutting wheat. Although he was still motionless, he was still sweating profusely.

Shisanlang came over with a bowl of ice water and said, "Officials, drink a bowl of ice water to relieve the heat."

Du Zhongxiao said: "I am thirsty and will go over to rest. When I rest, I drink water. Now I stand here like a military formation."

Shisanlang had no choice but to carry the ice water back to the tree and lean on it to the tree to be in a daze.

Commander Wei ran quickly to Du Zhongxiao, crossed his hands and said loudly: "Report the verdict, the second team of the third capital will arrive at the ground first, and there will be half a stick of incense left. The first team of the second capital and the fourth team of the fifth capital will fall to the end and cannot be finished on time."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Remember it. Let those who are at the ground take a rest first. There is mung bean soup there, so that they can drink it and understand the summer heat!"

Commander Wei shouted, said goodbye with his hands crossed, and ran quickly to the other side of the ground.

In almost the blink of an eye, the wheat was ripe. The new Fiber Locking Army was arranged by Du Zhongxiao to help the field camp to harvest wheat. The field camp camp was busy preparing rice planting to prepare water and ground, while those who interplanted cotton plantings replenish seedlings and loosen soil.

Du Zhongxiao had completely let go of the affairs of the Iron Supervision Bureau and turned all his mind to the field affairs. The field affairs have been established for more than a year, and everything has already been in a system, but it is just a supplement and improvement. Du Zhongxiao's mind has begun to turn to the army.

With guns, cannons, and trains, you can crush Dangxiang and Khitan in the north? Dangxiang can, but Khitan may not be. Du Zhongxiao remembers at least two examples in history, one positive and one negative. One counterexample, the Ming Dynasty had guns and cannons, and the Jurchens, who fought against internal and external troubles, eventually destroyed the world. A positive example was that there was an army that lacked clothes and wears, lacked guns and cannons, and eventually swept the world. Not only did they win internally, they could also defend the enemy outside the country.

Putting aside people's morale, there must be military reasons. Military is also science, with its own internal laws. If you do not master military science and do not fight according to the laws of war, you will get half the result with twice the result. If one is not good, you will lose.

The foreign enemies faced by those great changes that have not been seen in three thousand years are indeed powerful, but this era is not small. Historically, from Liao to Jin, and then to Mongolia later, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the Mongols swept across the entire Eurasian continent, and with a few guns, they were sure to defeat them? Du Zhongxiao did not have this confidence and used the world as a bet, so he did not dare to have such confidence.

The army in this era must have problems. In terms of the number of troops, from the physical fitness and weapons and equipment, the imperial guards have absolute advantages over the Khitan and Dangxiang, but they have been defeating wars. The reason for lack of cavalry is not explained.

Du Zhongxiao felt that the army of this era was very similar to the warlord army of later generations in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. When the army was strong, it was like the strong army of the Republic of China, and those weak brigades were similar to those chaotic mobs that were just filling in the gaps.

There must be an internal connection, but Du Zhongxiao can't explain what kind of connection is, and what causes this phenomenon. Since he can't figure it out, then start from the most basic things and live with them directly from the grassroots level, work together, and fight together.

It doesn't matter, just learn it bit by bit. What else can I do if I don't learn it? As for Zhuge Liang after doing it, according to the knowledge I remember in history, if he beats here or there, if he uses this person or that person, it is just a game for children and playing the beast-fighting flag. History has historical facts, things have their own rules, and if they violate the rules, it is not okay to be clever.

When the wing army comes to harvest wheat, everything is done according to military operations. Harvesting wheat is to fight. With the battalion as the basic unit, the task range is divided by team, and the task time is set. Those who do well and do quickly are rewarded according to the military law, and those who do poorly are punished. Anyone who cannot be harvested within the task time will increase the quantity according to the length of time. When others rest, they will continue to harvest.

Du Zhongxiao has been with this army for five days. Five days of high-intensity labor, to Du Zhongxiao's surprise, there was no resentment or morale dispersion. Instead, the morale was high, and we chased each other, and we felt proud.

Du Zhongxiao summarized it himself, which should be because of the simple task, clear goals, and proper rewards and punishments. Of course, there is also strong logistical support. Another thing is that the Xiang Army is much more obedient and much easier to manage for various reasons than the imperial guards.

This is not the feeling of Du Zhongxiao alone. From the generals in the front to the officials in the rear, they all have this understanding. In recent years, Fu Bi served as the Pacifier of Jingdong. Due to the flood in Hebei, the victims flowed into Jingdong Road and were recruited as the wing army. After the selection, they were taught and read, and were used as the imperial guards, without the risk of being arrogant and difficult to control the imperial guards. The imperial court specially gave the military trumpet to teach the horse riding and shooting, the border and the teaching and read the martial arts, and the courage to become a formal warrior without tattooing.

The wing army can become a warrior, which is an important change. Du Zhongxiao wanted to choose a war-worthy army in the camp and field affairs to conduct teaching and reading exercises. Once there is something wrong in the world, he might be able to lead troops to make contributions. In the Nong Zhigao Rebellion, if it were not for Tu Yizhou and surrounded Guangzhou, he would not have let the imperial guards go south at all, but would have sent the wing army. Cavalry shooting, Weibian is the cavalry military horn, Zhuangwu, Weibian is the infantry military horn, and has complete horse and stance. However, Du Zhongxiao had doubts about Fu Bi's Jingdong Road Xiang army. Can he really bring so many cavalry? His own camp has not so many cavalry.

Before I knew it, the sun was in the sky, and the cool sun was hard to bear. Commander Wei ran over and said with his hands: "The fortune judgment is coming, the time of Si is about to pass, please give me instructions!"

Du Zhongxiao said loudly: "Ming Jin! I finished work and had lunch, and I took a break, and I started working in the same time!"

With a cry of conviction, a cheer came from the wheat fields. The teams that had already arrived at the ground packed their tools and rested under the trees on the ground. Those who were still in the fields seemed to have taken heart pills, and the harvesting speed was much faster.

Soon, all of them arrived at the ground, and each team was in the ground, raising flags. The team reported to the head of Du and the head of the commander. Finally, Commander Wei went to Du Zhongxiao to report the completion of the task this morning.

Du Zhongxiao looked at Shisanlang, who had already stood behind him and held the handsome flag, and said to him: "Go back to his residence."

Shisanlang responded to his promise, raised the handsome flag high, followed Du Zhongxiao closely, and strode towards the village not far away.

With the team as the column, each of them forms a square formation and follows the coaching flag. The respective teams will be in front of the flag bearer and the team behind, and follow closely.

Mr. Zhuang sat at the entrance of the village and saw many flags coming from afar. He said to the children around him: "Balang, hurry back to the village and tell everyone that the wheat harvesters are back and prepare lunch. They helped the wheat harvesters not only saved us countless efforts, but also had a variety of food for a season."

Hachiro responded, jumped up from the ground and ran back to the village like flying.
Chapter completed!
