They are one of the caravans below the horse market and are resting in the fort near Qingshui Camp.

When they encountered an exercise, they were pulled into the blue team. For them, it was just a break anyway, and each person who participated in the blue team could get two kilograms of liquor for free.

When they arrived at the camp where the white-turbaned man was, they were learning to sing the hero song.

When everyone saw Zhang Zongxian coming, they all stood up and saluted. Zhang Zongxian waved everyone away and asked the big man in white scarf:

"What a good man! What's his name? But I rule Jiazhou?" +

It was the first time that the good man met such a high-ranking official. He was not as high-spirited as he was in the morning, and he was a little nervous when he spoke;

"Reporting to your lord, a commoner named Gao Yingxiang is from Yan'an Prefecture. He makes a living by selling horses and begging for food in the horse market."

Gao Yingxiang? The first-generation King of Breakthrough Gao Yingxiang? Good guy, he recruited this great god.

Zhang Zongxian almost shouted. Fortunately, he has been an official for a long time and there is no longer any fuss like when he first time traveled.

Even if the person in front of me is Gao Yingxiang, he is not the same as before the rebellion.

But he is worthy of being a king! Today’s performance indeed has the demeanor of a generational hero.

Now he is just a horse dealer, but his subordinates support him so much that they dare to follow him and fight against the cavalry. He also has a good grasp of the battlefield situation and can lead by example.

No wonder it caused such a big storm and dug up the emperor's ancestral grave.

As the magistrate of Jiazhou, killing him now is as easy as killing an ant. How about killing him now to avoid future troubles?

No, you can't kill him! Not to mention that he is half Zhang Zongxian now, but that he was forced to rebel by the government later. It would be a pity to kill such a person.

Zhang Zongxian walked forward, laughed and patted Gao Yingxiang on the shoulder;

"This is a man, come and pour me some wine. I will have a drink with all the heroes!"

After everyone had a bowl of Erguotou, Zhang Zongxian sat down and chatted with Gao Yingxiang and others about things on the grassland.

Talking about selling horses on the grassland, Gao Yingxiang revealed the hardship. In his previous life, they said that the grassland herdsmen were hospitable, haha! That was because Maxim taught them how to behave.

The people who do business on the grassland are not skilled in bow and horse. They are all fought with the Tatars. Now they are herdsmen, and they will become horse bandits in a short time.

Due to the existence of mutual trade and smuggling, southern goods can reach the grasslands unimpeded, and Tatar nobles from all over the country are also very luxurious, while ordinary herdsmen herd sheep but cannot eat a bite of mutton.

Before Zhang Zongxian opened the horse market, Gao Yingxiang and others brought southern goods from within the border wall to the grasslands in exchange for horses. Along the way, they not only had to be exploited by the generals of the border wall, but they also had to always be on guard against the Tatar rebellion.

While chatting with Gao Yingxiang, he observed this person. Gao Yingxiang was already 28 years old at this time and was very prestigious among his brothers.

During the casual chat, Zhang Zongxian could also feel that these people were not particularly afraid of the government, and this group of people themselves were inextricably linked with the border troops.

Zhang Zongxian believes that he does not have the personality charm of those heroes in history, and he will make people mad with just a few words.

Moreover, Gao Yingxiang was almost thirty at this time, and his three views had been established and would not change easily. Even such an adult, Zhang Zongxian, could not accept him as his disciple.

If he were to be recruited into the army, he would not be able to blend in. After all, the officers were all disciples of Zhang Zongxian. No matter how capable they were, they would be ostracized.

It would not be good to cause him to run away in anger at that time.

In the end, Zhang Zongxian gave up recruiting Gao Yingxiang, thinking that with him here in the future, things like officials forcing Mingfa to happen would not happen again.

And since they have made a lot of money from the horse market, they probably won't rebel easily. Then they can just arrange for people to monitor this.

After chatting with Gao Yingxiang and others for a while, Zhang Zongxian left to visit the youth camp.

The youth camp has now become one with the disciples of the school, and they are singing and eating meat together. Today's exercise also proved that these children can shoulder greater responsibilities.

Then he arranged to call the young man who saved people in front of the phalanx. He wanted to reward the young man and set an example for the children in the youth camp.

After the young man came over, Zhang Zongxian took a closer look and felt that this boy must have been trained in martial arts. His eyes were also very smart and he was a good prospect. He thought of testing this boy and training him as the second Bo Ren in the future.

"Today, I saw you rescuing people in front of the formation. The cavalry rushed over immediately. Aren't you afraid?"

When the young man was called over, he knew that his opportunity had come. He secretly made up his mind to perform well, and said loudly in a loud voice:

"Don't be afraid!"

Zhang Zongxian liked him very much for having such strong bones. Then he asked:

"Why aren't you afraid? The horses don't care whether you save people or not? They won't stop?"

The young man raised his head and said:

"I saw that those cavalrymen had slowed down as they approached the square formation. It would be fine if they ran faster."

Well, his observation skills are also good. He is brave and resourceful. The more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

"What's your name, where are you from, have you read books or practiced martial arts? When did you come to Qingshui Camp?"

"Sir, my name is Li Zicheng. I am from Mizhi. I went to a private school for two years and learned some boxing and kicking skills. My mother died of a serious illness last year, and my father followed her. I came here after hearing others say that I am in charge of the food here."

What Li Zicheng? Another Chuang King. Good guy, what day is it today? I saw the two future Chuang Kings at once. This Li Zicheng is still the one who forced Chongzhen to death and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Zongxian suppressed his inner excitement and carefully observed Li Zicheng at this time.

He is worthy of being the terminator of the Ming Dynasty. He is indeed unique. He is brave and resourceful at a young age. With more than a thousand young men, he can still stand out.

At this time, Li Zicheng must have been a young man whose outlook on life had not yet been formed, and his parents were both dead, so he just accepted him as his disciple. After careful education and care, he added more generals.

Presumably there will be no Chuangwang Li Zicheng in the future.

"Li Zicheng has a good name. You are also very well-educated. Your action of saving people today is in line with the righteousness of our school. I will accept you as an inner disciple of our school today. Are you willing?"

Inner disciple? I originally thought that I would just join the school, but I actually became an inner disciple directly. That is a monthly subsidy of five taels of silver! And after completing the course, you can become an officer.

Li Zicheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zongxian.

"Disciple is willing, disciple is willing, disciple is willing to pay homage to Master."

After learning that Li Zicheng had entered the school, the children in the youth camp were all envious and secretly determined to perform well and strive to be admitted to the school.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Zongxian asked the disciples of the school to divide into three groups and set off back to the academy.

After this exercise, Zhang Zongxian had new considerations about future military strength. He stayed to discuss the future army-building plan with his good ministers and Boren.

The infantry remains the same, hiding troops among the people on weekdays, and mobilizing trained young men when needed.

On the one hand, there are no enemies around Jiazhou that can threaten Zhang Zongxian.

Secondly, it was also to prevent others from finding out that he was practicing military training privately and wanted to rebel.

The cavalry is positioned as a field force. The attack on the grassland will be completed by the cavalry. Anyway, the training of the cavalry includes the content of the infantry. Dismounting is the line infantry.

The mobility and combat effectiveness of such a cavalry are guaranteed. After discussion, the three decided to continue to expand the recruitment of youth camps.

Most of these teenagers were born into military households and are very malleable. As long as they keep up with nutrition and training, they are no worse than adults.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, anyone who was fifteen years old could become a father. Those under the age of twelve would first work as pawns in the military camp, and those over the age of twelve would be directly incorporated into the cavalry. From now on, these teenagers will be the main force of the cavalry.

Not only the youth camp needs to be expanded, but also the adult riders. However, before the two cavalry brigades are trained, the recruitment of riders is more inclined to recruit children from good families in the border area.

They are not required to know how to ride a horse, it is enough if they cannot learn. With a horse market to rely on, they have no shortage of war horses.

The plan is to train a cavalry brigade by October, a regiment that has already been trained, and two battalions and two companies transferred from the infantry. In this way, the structure of a brigade will be ready.

In October, troops will be sent to attack the tribes on the grassland. And the good ministers will also stay here from now on to take over the original lair of the poisonous scorpions, which is on the edge of the Yellow River outside Huangpu Chuanbao in Lotus Pavilion.

A military fort will be built there, and Zhang Zongxian named the newly built military fort Lotus Fort. Now that caravans can freely enter and leave the border wall, supplies will naturally not be a problem, and it will serve as the main garrison point for the cavalry.

After all, the two fortresses of Qingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuanbao combined did not originally have a garrison of 3,000 people. Putting so many cavalry here would be too eye-catching.

Put all the main force of the cavalry there, and leave the juvenile camps in Qingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuanbao in the future. And as long as the juvenile camps complete basic training, they will be sent to Lotus Fort.

It is enough to leave about a thousand cavalry in Qingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuan Fort. In the future, two battalions of infantry will be recruited here to garrison the fort.

Moreover, from now on, all recruitment will be done in the name of the horse market, that is to say, they are recruiting guards to transport goods on the grassland. After recruitment, they will all be sent to Lotus Fort for training there.
