Chapter 50: Meat wontons, beef ramen—the soldiers are stunned!

Outside Jiangdu County, military camp

"Have none of you eaten? So soft and weak—how will you go onto the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future!"

On the military camp's drill ground, Li Gang stood in front of the crowd, shouting sternly!

Before him was a group of soldiers holding long halberds, practicing thrusts repeatedly, shedding sweat!

"Tell me loudly, do you want to eat marinated eggs?"

"Yes!"

"Do you want to eat meat sausages?"

"Yes!"

Li Gang roared, and the soldiers in the midst of training, all drooling, shouted with high spirits!

The force with which they swung their long halberds also increased significantly!

Lin Yang, standing on the side of the drill ground, watched this scene and nodded with great satisfaction!

Jiangdu County today!

Is, after all, different!

When previously resisting the Huang Jin, Lin Yang had only a mere five hundred men in his hands!

Even after recruiting disaster victims, the number of soldiers was only one thousand five hundred!

Later, after accepting the surrender of over two thousand Huang Jin bandits, the number of soldiers reached four thousand!

Finally, adding the refugees and local militia recruited during this period, he now has six thousand soldiers!

Although that is not too many!

But for a County Magistrate like him, it is already quite a lot!

It is only because he possesses the Reputation Marketplace; otherwise, he could not afford to support this group of people at all!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Just as Lin Yang was pondering this, accompanied by the sound of rhythmic beating, the call for mealtime suddenly rang out across the entire camp!

Having trained all morning and being ravenously hungry, the men, at this moment, headed outside one after another!

"My lord, when did you arrive?"

Finishing the morning training, Li Gang turned around and saw the arriving Lin Yang!

"Nothing, just came to see how the soldiers' training is going!"

With war about to break out, having solved the issue of armor, what Lin Yang is currently worried about is the soldiers' training!

His status is truly too low!

He has troops in his hands, but no generals!

The only one, Li Gang, was once just a small Military Commandant in Jiangdu County!

"My lord, the veteran soldiers in the army and the Huang Jin subordinates have basically finished their training!" Li Gang followed by Lin Yang's side, detailing the situation of the soldiers' training.

"Currently, only the newly recruited soldiers still need time!"

Among the six thousand soldiers of Jiangdu County, there are five hundred veterans who have already experienced war!

The remaining two thousand five hundred-plus Huang Jin bandits, although their equipment was trash before, can also be considered familiar with war!

Overall, among the six thousand soldiers, only these three thousand are combat-ready troops!

As for the remaining three thousand, they still need time to be tempered!

"Mm, having three thousand is already not bad!"

Lin Yang nodded and commended Li Gang for his recent hard work!

The majority of Jiangdu County's soldiers are, after all, new recruits!

Being able to have three thousand combat troops is already not easy!

"Let's go, I came today because I brought you something!"

Patting Li Gang on the shoulder, the next moment, the two of them strode forward!

A moment later, in front of the camp's open-air kitchen

"What's the situation? Why haven't they served the food yet?"

"Yeah, hurry up, I'm exhausted!"

"Today, if nothing else, I'm going to eat a few extra marinated eggs!"

"How is just marinated eggs enough? I want to eat more meat sausages!"

"The food here is truly good; we actually get to eat marinated eggs and meat sausages every meal!"

"......"

The soldiers who finished training gathered here, all discussing it heatedly!

Especially the soldiers recruited recently; many were stunned by the food here!

Meat sausages and marinated eggs every meal!

This is simply unimaginable in other places!

Just as everyone was discussing, there was a slight commotion at the front of the crowd!

Subsequently, everyone saw the figures of Lin Yang and Li Gang!

"My lord!"

The soldiers present, seeing Lin Yang arrive, all greeted him respectfully!

They know very well!

The person before them is the one who provides them with such food!

"Mm, everyone, I came today because I saw that you have been training hard, so I specifically added a meal for you!"

Lin Yang glanced at the soldiers and said loudly!

Hearing that there was an extra meal, for a moment, everyone's eyes shone with a sharp light!

An extra meal!

Doesn't this mean they might very well get to eat meat! ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
