Looking at the 100,000 soldiers standing neatly below, other than the 30,000 veterans, the other 70,000 were new recruits.
Even though it was only the first day of training, the recruits were influenced by the veterans. They all stood straight like javelins.
The huge drill ground was filled with many square formations!
Liu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction, causing everyone below to feel excited. Their eyes were burning, as if they were proud of receiving Liu Chen's praise!
Under such an atmosphere, Liu Chen shouted with full confidence,""All soldiers, listen up."
"Yes!"
"Each formation will follow the orders of the messengers and begin training with the veterans.”
"Yes, sir!"
The collective shouts resounded through the clouds!
The veterans 'daily training began, while the recruits' first training was a little flustered as they followed closely behind the veterans.
Liu Chen wasn't angry at this chaotic feeling. Instead, he was full of anticipation for the future of these ignorant recruits.
After the training, Liu Chen allocated 5,000 troops to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and 3,000 troops to Zhang He and Gao Lan, letting them train freely.
This caused the four of them to be inexplicably excited!
They were new recruits who had just joined. They did not expect Liu Chen to treat them so well. They were even more grateful and sincere!
Under the leadership of Zhao Yun and the other soldiers, the other recruits also trained in an orderly manner.
Liu Chen handed the forging blueprint of the "Curved Plow" to the Forging Academy. The day of grain harvesting would soon arrive, and he believed that this divine weapon could increase efficiency.
The following days were spent in training and preparing for the battle. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
"Cuckoo-"
At the end of the fifth month, the news from Luoyang finally arrived with the help of the messenger pigeons.
Ever since he exchanged for the " Communication Pigeon ", Liu Chen's intelligence agencies and informants all over the country could finally send information over in a timely manner.
It would not be as awkward as a few months after the news arrived.
The " scout pigeons " were also trained by the beast tamers in the Beast Taming Academy. These pigeons were psychic and could roughly understand human language, but beast language required the beast tamers to communicate.
Only by communicating with each other could the intelligence obtained by the " investigative pigeons " be turned into paper data.
Luoyang is even more chaotic. It should be soon…"
Liu Chen muttered to himself as he read the report.
The situation in Luoyang was becoming more and more chaotic. The battle between He Jin and the eunuchs had reached a white-hot point. However, because of Empress Dowager He, He Jin was a little timid.
Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and the others proposed a countermeasure to eliminate the eunuchs. After He Jin reported it to Empress Dowager He, he could only give up after being rejected.
Yuan Shao once again proposed to recruit foreign troops to threaten Empress Dowager He. Cao Cao, Chen Lin, Xun You, Lu Zhi and the others all opposed it, but He Jin, the butcher, agreed.
His subordinates, Wang Kuang and Bao Xin, also returned to their hometown to recruit troops.
Liu Chen, who was familiar with history, knew that Dong Zhuo was not far away from entering the capital, and the day when He Jin would be executed by the eunuchs before being reported was also approaching.
Luoyang could be said to be as chaotic as a pool of muddy water.
Of course, during this period of time, the Chang Shan Kingdom had also become somewhat chaotic. It was mainly because of the chaos among the internal affairs officials.
This was because the Chang Shan Kingdom did not have enough food!
"My lord, the state officials and the officials have their complaints.”
Zhao Yun said hesitantly," The 100,000 strong army consumes food very quickly. Moreover, since the soldiers 'physical fitness has improved, their food has also increased.”
These officials did not dare to complain to Liu Chen, so they could only find Zhao Yun, the number one person in the army.
"Ignore them. No one can starve the soldiers and civilians. Hold on for a while longer. Once the food is harvested, everything will be settled.”
He had always been somewhat displeased with Liu Chen's group of good-for-nothings. The main reason was that he was displeased with the scholarly faction and the current aristocratic families.
After inheriting the title for so many years, Liu Chen had already been suppressing the aristocrats, but the ruling class still needed their assistance.
Liu Chen had once wanted to hold an imperial examination, but when he thought about how ordinary people could not even read and write, even food and clothing were a problem, he gave up.
"Food and army, we must first solve these two problems before we can consider the problems behind! The upgrade of the Internal Affairs Department had to be accelerated. He still needed points!”
Ever since Liu Chen led Zhao Yun to sweep through the surrounding areas, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army did not dare to come over and harass them. It could be said to be very peaceful. Now that they had 100,000 troops, no one dared to disturb them!
However, Liu Chen did not want peace. He needed war, he needed points!
In that case, Liu Chen could only take the initiative. He looked at Zhao Yun and said,
" Zilong, make the arrangements. I'm preparing to split up my forces to go out. My target is the Black Mountain Army of Taihang Mountain and the remaining members of the Yellow Turban Army. The new recruits have been training for more than a month, so it's time for them to get some actual combat training.”
"Yes, my lord." Zhao Yun accepted the order and left.
For this expedition, Liu Chen was prepared to let Zhang He and Gao Lan lead 20,000 men. During this period of time, Zhang He's performance was even better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Liu Chen had already raised his men to five thousand men. If this expedition to conquer the surrounding bandits went smoothly, Liu Chen was prepared to promote Zhang He to commander of the army.
After the military order was issued, the arrangements were quickly made.
Other than the 30,000 troops defending the Changshan Country's counties, Liu Chen could mobilize 70,000 troops, including 20,000 veterans and 50,000 recruits.
Zhang He and Gao Lan led 20,000 troops to wipe out the Yellow Turban remnants near Changshan.
Liu Chen personally led Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and 50,000 soldiers to attack the Black Mountain Army. The Black Mountain Army had a million soldiers and was in full swing.
Originally, Liu Chen wanted to stay in the headquarters. After all, he had such a fierce general under him, so he naturally didn't need to do it himself. However, Liu Chen wanted to see the improvement of the soldiers and their shortcomings.
Just a few days before Liu Chen and the others were about to set off, the harvest day of the Chang Shan Country arrived.
……
Early in the morning.
The Grain Officer brought the scale and other tools to the vicinity of the farmland. Every harvest needed to be recorded.
However, today's harvest would eventually shock a large number of people.
" How, how is this possible?!"
Looking at the data recorded on it, the surrounding grain officers and other officials were incomparably shocked.
"What's the fuss about?" Si Nong said with some dissatisfaction. Isn't it normal for our Jizhou to have a high yield because of its fertile land? Three or four?"
The highest yield in Jizhou was 4.1 stones per mu, breaking the record of the entire Great Han Dynasty!
"Director of Agriculture, it's, it's 10 stones!”A grain officer said in shock.
"I asked you to measure the yield per mu! It was a yield per mu! How many acres was this? Three Mu?"
"Your Highness has high hopes for this harvest. Can you do your best for me?" said Si Nong discontentedly.”
"The Department of Agriculture is about the yield per mu! 10 dans per mu, 1200 jin, that's right!”The grain officer said in shock.
The Bureau of Agriculture, who was recording with a pen, was stunned. Then, he rushed over and looked at the scale. The data on it was exactly the same as what the grain officer had said.
"Bastard, did you make a mistake?”
Si Nong said in disbelief,"Is this one mu, two mu, or three mu? Collecting food is a big deal. If anything goes wrong and they blame you, none of you can escape!”
" It's really 10 stones per mu!"
"Director of Agriculture, we won't tamper with the grain collection!”
"We wouldn't dare to spout nonsense even if we had two heads!”
The farmer was suspicious and personally urged the people to harvest. When the grain yield of one mu was completely calculated, he was completely shocked." T-Eleven stones?!"
The land in Jizhou was fertile. On average, it was more than 3 dan. Now, it had almost tripled!
"Quick, harvest all of them!" The farmer's hands were trembling. This was too unbelievable.
When the grain officers urged the farmers to harvest a large area, the results were either 9, 10, 11, or 12 stones per mu.
Everyone present was completely shocked and then let out an indescribable ecstasy!
"Hahaha, God bless us!"
"God bless my Chang Mountain! God bless His Highness!"
"Hurry up and report to His Highness. This is a grand occasion that the whole world is celebrating!”The farmer said in surprise, then threw the pen and paper aside." I'll go personally. Move aside!”
