Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

The soldiers disbanded and left the school grounds, but the officers did not leave immediately. They stood by and waited for Liu Zhang to explain.

"Jiangjun Lieutenant, everyone, let's talk in the commander's tent!" Liu Zhang looked at Jiang Ming and the officers who stayed beside him. It was not easy for these officers to come dressed neatly after several years of absence from war.

Under the guidance of the county lieutenant Jiang Ming, Liu Zhang followed, and together they came to the commander's tent in the army.

It is said to be a handsome tent, but it is not a tent, but a stone house.

Inside the house, the equipment is simple, but there are Jing Zhaoyin's maps, case books, etc.

Everyone sat down one after another according to the size of their duties.

"Lieutenant Jiang, introduce the generals to me!" Liu Zhang looked at Jiang Ming with a smile.

"Here!"

Jiang Ming bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Jingzhaoyin has 3000 guards, with three Sima, six military marquises, and 30 generals. Among them, there are two Sima, four military marquises, and 18 generals to guard the remaining nine. County, and the remaining 15 people are all here."

"Yeah!" Liu Zhang nodded, the Tunjiang was considered a low-level officer, but this was Liu Zhang's first visit to the barracks, so they all came to see him.

"This is Li Fang and Li Sima!" Jiang Ming pointed to the next person and introduced to Liu Zhang.

"En!" After Jiang Ming finished speaking, Liu Zhang looked at Li Fang, remembering his appearance.

Then every time Jiang Ming introduced a person, Liu Zhang remembered his appearance carefully.

But after a while, he memorized the faces of 15 people.

The remaining 24 people will only have the opportunity to get to know each other in the future.

Of the [-] soldiers in the Chang'an barracks, there were [-] archers, [-] shield soldiers, and the rest were spearmen.

Because spearmen's weapons require the least iron, and it is cheapest to equip a spearman, so the number is the largest.

However, among the [-] spearmen, [-] have already undergone identity matching and have been transformed into Hanhu riflemen.

These people are 90% loyal to Liu Zhang, while the remaining [-] soldiers cannot be said to be loyal.

Because it was the first time they met Liu Zhang, let alone how much loyalty they had to the court.

In this era, whoever leads the soldiers will be loyal to them.

In the barracks, Liu Zhang chatted with these generals for a long time and found some problems.

For the [-] soldiers of Jing Zhaoyin, the imperial court has long since ceased to pay for the military.Their military pay has been in charge of Jing Zhaoyin's prefect's mansion in recent years.

And Jing Zhaoyin's prefect had resigned a few months ago, that is to say, these soldiers had been owed several months of military pay.

It's not that the prefect's mansion doesn't have money and food to distribute military salaries, but that no one dares to be the master in the absence of the prefect.

After inspecting the barracks and learning about the conditions of the soldiers and generals, Liu Zhang and the county lieutenant Jiang Ming returned to the prefect's mansion together with a group of generals.

After they returned to the prefect's mansion, it was already time for dinner in the afternoon. Liu Zhang ordered the servants of the prefect's mansion to arrange a dinner and had a big meal with everyone.

Although I didn't know him before, there is nothing that a meal of wine and meat can't solve. If there is, then use two meals of wine and meat.

After eating and drinking enough, Liu Zhang assured them that they would make up the full amount of their military pay, and they left happily.

The distribution of military pay was also recorded in the prefect's mansion. Liu Zhang recruited Chang Shi on the second day to check the documents and records before confirming it.

He then recruited a strategist and ordered him to immediately prepare all the military salaries needed by the three thousand soldiers for the past few months, and then allocated them to the soldiers to pay the arrears of military salaries.

Three days later, as Liu Zhang said, all the soldiers in Chang'an City made up the payment owed in the past few months.

The soldiers stationed in the remaining eight counties also received the arrears of military pay one after another.

Now, the three thousand soldiers in Chang'an City were full of praise for Liu Zhang, saying that they would make up for the owed military pay, so they immediately made up for it.

If you keep your word, no one is willing to give allegiance to such an officer.

Because of this, most of the three thousand soldiers have never met Liu Zhang, but their loyalty to Liu Zhang has been greatly improved.

After Liu Zhang learned about Jing Zhaoyin's army, he immediately reported the situation here to Luoyang and filed an application for army expansion.

In the performance, he first talked about the situation of Jing Zhaoyin, and pointed out that 3000 people were not enough to garrison Chang'an, and then asked the court to allow him to expand the army to guard Chang'an. The court pays a penny.

The stingy Liu Hong originally didn't intend to agree to the request for military expansion, but when he saw that the imperial court would not have to bear the military expenses later, he agreed.

As long as you don't ask him for money or food, everything is easy to discuss.

A month later, Liu Zhang received a response from the court, and he immediately summoned the officials of the prefect's mansion.

He sent the reply letter from the imperial court to several important officials such as Junwei, Juncheng, and Changshi for review.

With the approval of the imperial court, the civil officials such as Juncheng have no excuse to object, and the county lieutenant and several school lieutenants will not object.

As a general, everyone hopes that they have more soldiers and more generals.

So, with everyone's agreement, Jing Zhaoyin began to expand the army.

The recruitment notice was immediately pasted at the gates of ten counties in Jingzhaoyin, and literate people were arranged to read it every day.

At the recruiting point at the gate of the city, young and strong men came to sign up to join the army every day.

At this time, the common people were very simple. After signing up, they immediately received five hundred yuan as a settling allowance. After registering their names and addresses, they were allowed to go home for one day and only entered the barracks the next day.

In all cases of joining the army, no one escaped after sending home the family allowance.

In just one month, Liu Zhang got [-] young and strong soldiers to join the army.

These are young and strong, the young ones are fifteen or sixteen years old, and the old ones are in their thirties.

Liu Zhang left all these 1 people in Chang'an City, and the original military camp was not enough.

He immediately used the abandoned barracks and summoned civilians to rebuild them.

According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, he divided the 1 people into ten departments, twenty songs, and one hundred villages.

Sima, Qu Chang, Tuen Jiang, and even the captain were not appointed, so he began to train these soldiers himself.

For an ordinary army, if you practice once every three days, it is considered pretty good, and if you practice once every two days, you are an elite. But he, Liu Zhang, actually practiced once a day for these recruits.

Every morning, he took an hour to go to the barracks to train them.

In this way, the consumption of food is also very huge, but the results are also obvious.

After three months of drills, their military regulations, military discipline, and combat skills have reached the readiness for war.

The [-] recruits had just completed the recruit training. Liu Zhang appointed the soldiers who performed well during the training and selected them as captains, and then broke up the original [-] soldiers and regrouped the recruits.

The original captains were promoted to generals, and the outstanding generals were promoted to military lords, and some of the original military lords were promoted to other ministers.

As for those who were originally Sima from other departments, they cannot continue to be promoted.

So Jing Zhaoyin had 13 troops, [-] Sima in other departments, and Jiang Ming was still the only school lieutenant.
