Chapter 6： boot training one

On the second day after the meeting with the knights, Paul divided the troops according to his new establishment. There were nearly 600 new and old soldiers, and they were divided into two infantry battalions that were not full.

After organizing the soldiers, he remembered that there was still a group of guards in the lord's mansion. Being obsessive-compulsive, he decided to create an organization for them as well, and set up a separate unit - the inner guard. Following the armed police system of the previous life, the two levels at the lower level are still squads and platoons, and the upper levels are squadrons, brigades, and detachments, which correspond to companies, battalions, and regiments respectively. To save trouble, the same military rank system as in the army is also implemented. There were only 60 guards in the Lord's Mansion, so they were organized into two platoons.

As for the knights and their attendants, this is more difficult. After all, the knight class has already touched the threshold of the nobility, and according to his observations, the gap between the nobles and the commoners in this world is still quite large. It might cause their dissatisfaction in a system, and the lord's seat under his buttocks has not yet been secured, but it feels weird to have such a considerable force separate them.

So he went to Bryce for a secret talk first, and expressed his thoughts and concerns. Unexpectedly, Bryce blushed, saying that he was worrying too much, and explained it to him.

It turned out that when the Greiman family was kicked to the northwest coast by the king, it had a strong dispensation nature. The previous vassals were either implicated and punished together, or they changed families to join others. Now the knights in the territory, "Uh... how should I put it?" Bryce stammered, "It's a bit offensive to say, the family of the lord was forbidden by the royal family at that time to confer new vassal nobles, although your ancestors gave us knights However, our knight status is not recognized by the kingdom officials and other nobles. People generally call people like us "wild knights". Except for knowing some characters and practicing martial arts, we are no different from ordinary people, and most people are also I often work in the fields by myself.”

"Then Lord Ford is...?"

"His title was inherited from a distant relative. Before inheriting the title, he had served the Lord's family for a long time. Moreover, he is a 'legal nobleman', which means he only has the title of nobleman, but he has no fiefdom."

"So that's the case, then it's up to you to pull them into the establishment. I think you are very prestigious among them."

"Where is it, I can just drink them all down on the wine table. Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint the Earl."

Bryce was sweating profusely, and responded with one gulp.

Sure enough, as Bryce said, there was no conflict between the knights and their followers. Most of them were appointed as officers of all levels of troops. Bryce and another knight named Claude were respectively appointed as the first step. Commander of the Barracks and 2nd Infantry Battalion.

Then a series of physical fitness tests were conducted to select the monitors of each class. Originally, I wanted to use the number of literacy as the biggest scoring item in the selection, but after asking hundreds of people, almost all of them were illiterate. One can only recognize and spell his own name, but in desperation he had to test his physical fitness first.

It is precisely because the overall cultural level of the team is not high that the word "agent" is added to the job titles of the selected low-level officers, and their military ranks are also temporary ranks. All the soldiers are now privates, and the acting squad leaders are all temporary corporals.

"Okay, in view of the tense military situation recently, it is not too late to start training immediately." The little earl said enthusiastically, regardless of everyone's opposition, he resolutely pulled the team to the woods outside the town for training, and announced that during the training period, there would be no delay. Camp in the woods. He only brought the 2nd Infantry Battalion and the 1st Inner Guards Platoon, and the 1st Battalion was left in Huxin Town to deal with emergencies.

After choosing a place, the recruits began to set up camp under the leadership of the veterans. Paul called Knight Claude—now Major Claude—to discuss a training plan. He gave Claude a piece of parchment, filled it with eloquent words, and said proudly: "Look, Claude, have you seen a more genius training plan than this!"

Claude took it over and browsed it quickly, and said profusely, "My lord, this kind of training will kill people."

"What, how is UU Reading possible? This is already a shortened version with many subjects cut off."

"My lord, the intensity of this kind of training is almost comparable to the training I did when I was a knight retinue."

"You can take it, why can't they?"

"Nutrition is very important! My lord, although I was not well-off at the time, I could eat meat at least once a week. These soldiers who were born as civilians did not have such conditions. According to the previous food standards, we can only ensure that they are hungry. No stomach, but once the amount of exercise increases, it will be difficult to sustain without eating meat."

Paul smacked his forehead: "I didn't even think about this, how about it, I will write a letter and send it to Philip immediately, asking him to strengthen the food supply to our side, especially increase the supply of meat. In addition, we I also organize manual hunting every day."

Claude laughed: "Uh... I don't have any complaints, but Butler Philip is probably going to vomit blood again."

"Lord, in addition to physical training, there are also confusing words such as standing in a military posture, kicking, and queue training. I can understand it literally, but can you explain it?"

"Discipline, discipline, Claude, have you seen the foolishness in the military parade before? Our army must be uniform, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and act as a whole at all times, so that it can have momentum, not a group of scattered people. Scattered soldiers."

Claude's forehead was sweating: "The requirements of the regular army of the Kingdom are not so high! Well, you are right to say so."

"It's getting late now, so I won't practice other subjects, let's stand in a military posture before dinner to have an appetizer! Hehehehe..."

Looking at the busy soldiers, the eager young earl rubbed his fists while letting out a sinister laugh that sent chills down Claude's spine.
