Rows of barracks made of green bricks and green tiles are neatly arranged on the plain. In front of the barracks is a rammed-earth school yard. Many weapons used for training, such as stone locks and wheels used for strength training with spears, bows and arrows, etc., are neatly arranged. Placed on the school grounds.

The wall made of mud and straw was more than a foot high and nearly six feet thick. It surrounded the entire military camp, leaving only two gates on the east and west for entry and exit.

Several towers were built along the walls inside the gates on both sides. If a war breaks out, you can observe the enemy's situation and use bows and arrows to harass the enemy.

Horses were placed on both sides of the camp gate to prevent cavalry from raiding.

This is said to be a military camp, but in fact it is more like a military stronghold. If a war breaks out, you can stay here.

If the enemy wants to capture this place, they must spend time transporting siege equipment or attack with several times the force.

If we bypass this place, the soldiers in the military camp can take the opportunity to interfere with the enemy's logistics and food supplies.

This place is not far from the official road, and it is impossible for the enemy to bypass this place when transporting grain.

But these arrangements and preparations are really of little use on weekdays, especially in the territory of Xingyuan Mansion, where it is almost impossible to have a war.

However, from the soldiers stationed on the tower and the soldiers responsible for patrolling and guarding, we can see that General Sun is strict in running the army and doing things rigorously.

Even though there was absolutely no chance of war in Xingyuan Mansion, he and his soldiers never relaxed.

He is worthy of being a veteran who has been fighting in the frontier army all year round.

"Fifth brother, how is the food in our barracks? Is there meat? Can we eat fine grains?" Chen Mo asked Mo Hu with a curious look on his face.

He had wanted to ask this for a long time, but Mo Hu was riding a horse and he was riding a carriage all the way, so he never got the chance to ask.

Now that I finally have the opportunity, of course I have to hurry up and ask.

He was not particularly concerned about other conditions in the barracks. The only important thing was how the food was.

You have to eat well so that you can accumulate energy and blood strength faster.

"Ha, don't worry, we have a barracks where we eat white flour every day and there is no shortage of meat every day."

Mo Hu couldn't help laughing when he heard Chen Mo's question.

He once brought many people into the personal barracks. Someone asked him how much the personal soldiers were paid and whether they could be paid on time.

Some people also asked him about General Sun's official rank, and wanted to know if he could make great achievements and have a wife and children by following him.

Some people are also concerned about how to train in the military camp and what they need to learn for the school entrance examination.

Only Chen Mo paid such serious and simple attention to the food and treatment.

However, he had a very good impression of Chen Mo. He only focused on eating and being an honest person. Explain that as long as he has enough to eat, everything will be easy.

"Fifth brother is back." Seeing Mo Hu coming, many soldiers on duty at the camp gate smiled and said hello when they saw him. It was obvious that he also had a certain status in the camp.

"Yes. I brought a new person here." Mo Hu nodded in response and led Chen Mo into the military camp.

"You are a new soldier who has joined the camp. You don't need to worry about other things for the first three months. Just focus on training. After three months, you will be incorporated into the camp and arrange your affairs." Mo Hu introduced the situation to Chen Mo as he walked.

The army of Daqian is organized into a corps of five men, one corps leader, two corps one Shi, one Shi chief, three Shis a group, one group captain, five groups one team, and one team leader.

The above-mentioned official positions are all low-ranking, with grades but no grades.

The next three teams form a battalion with a school lieutenant.

The Colonel Wang whom Chen Mo had met before was of this level, and was the lowest ninth-grade military attache in the Daqian army.

Nowadays, there are not many people in the guard camp, so there is no team leader. The troops are divided into groups. The leaders of the groups are directly under the command of General Sun.

Chen Mo listened very carefully. He would stay in the barracks for a long time. Of course, these things were important.

Soldiers like him who had just joined the camp were paid one tael of silver per month and had one day off every ten days. In addition to normal meals on holidays, they were given two pounds of meat and one pound of wine.

On weekdays, I can eat enough whole grains, with three meals a day, each with vegetables, and meat at noon every day.

This treatment can almost be called a luxury.

General Sun was able to give such generous treatment to his soldiers because he had a high enough position.

The fifth grade Xingyuan Mansion is guarding, and all military personnel in the Governor's Mansion are guarded.

This is the limit of military attachés who can directly command troops.

Although you can get promoted further up, you won't be able to directly control the military power on weekdays.

The Daqian system was divided into counties, prefectures and prefectures. The imperial court would not let anyone take charge of military power in one prefecture. One prefecture was the limit.

The generals guarding each prefecture are usually under the supervision of the imperial court and are not subject to anyone's control.

General Sun is in charge of the military power of a government, and he gets an unknown amount of free salary every year. It is certainly more than enough to support his own soldiers.

However, General Sun is not in the camp yet. If Chen Mo wants to see him, he will have to wait at least more than a month.

Of course, not being able to see General Sun does not affect his other situations in the new barracks. Soldiers like him who have just joined the camp can train slowly first.

There will be a long time in the military camp in the future, and I will see General Sun sooner or later.

Listening to Mo Hu's introduction to the situation in the military camp, Chen Mo had already arrived in front of a row of barracks.

"There are not many people in our camp now. There are still many places available for you to choose. However, there are no beds or anything else. I will accompany you to get them later."

Mo Hu pointed at the empty green brick barracks in front of him.

Originally, there were more than 400 people in the personal barracks with him, but in the battle at the border a few months ago, the number was reduced to only more than 100 people.

Therefore, General Sun requested to return to Xingyuan Prefecture to train troops. Since the losses were too great, his fellow villagers could not replenish them for the time being, so he expanded the scope of recruiting troops.

"Just this one." Chen Mo looked at the house in front of him, feeling quite satisfied.

This room was built entirely of bluestone, and even the floor was paved with bluestone slabs. It was much better than the barracks where I lived before.

The area is also quite spacious, more than one foot long and more than one foot wide. It is not a problem to accommodate two or three people.

What's more important is that this room actually has windows besides the door.

It was countless times better than the barracks he lived in before.

With Mo Hu's help, Chen Mo asked the logistics officer to bring him a wooden bed, a wooden table, two benches, beds and quilts, and two sets of soldier uniforms.

After a brief tidying up of the house, it was already evening.

"Come on, Fifth Brother will take you to dinner and let you see the food in our military camp!" As the meal was approaching, Mo Hu took the initiative to call Chen Mo.

The barracks where he lived was not far from the barracks where Chen Mo lived, and there were only three barracks in between.

"Hey!" Chen Mo put down the thatched broom in his hand and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

Besides Mo Hu, there was another person outside the barracks door who was extremely tall, at least six and a half feet tall. His face was tense and he didn't say a word.

"This is my brother, my brother Mo Dao, just call me fourth brother." Mo Hu introduced him.

"Fourth brother." Chen Mo shouted with a smile.

"Yeah." Mo Dao nodded slightly, but still didn't say much.

"My brother has this temperament. He's cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He doesn't like to talk too much. You'll know when you get in touch with him more." Mo Hu was quite familiar with him and hooked Chen Mo's shoulder.

There were not many people eating in the kitchen. Many of the soldiers, like Mo Hu, went around to select new soldiers on behalf of General Sun. Until now, quite a few of them have not returned.

If Mo Hu hadn't sent Chen Mo back first, he might not be able to return to the military camp now.

Several people who were familiar with Mo Hu said hello to him, and more people looked at Chen Mo with curious eyes.

Ignoring those curious eyes, Chen Mo took the sea bowl aside, filled a large bowl of tofu and boiled cabbage, picked up eight white-flour steamed buns, and ate them as if there was no one else around.

It has to be said that the food in this barracks is indeed many times better than when raising horses, and there is no limit on the quantity, so you are guaranteed to be full.

After eating, he returned to the house to rest. The next day, Chen Mo began training with other new soldiers who had joined the camp under the leadership of Mo Hu.

There are not many people who can lift a three hundred kilogram stone, but looking at the entire Xingyuan Mansion barracks, there are only eleven or twelve people in total.

In addition, there were some fifty or sixty people from General Sun's same clan and country who also joined the military camp.

Chen Mo trained with them, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
