Han counter current

"Such a heavy military service system, I'm afraid,,,,,,"

"Anyway, western Liaoning is not suitable for farming. Besides, I have hoarded so much grain now, is it for mold?"

Chen Feng interrupted Jia Xu's dissuasion, he must expand his army, otherwise he would have no chance to expand outward: "Our caravan will bring back more food, don't worry about that.

Since ancient times, the land of Yanzhao has been full of generous and tragic soldiers. The young and middle-aged people here are the best soldiers. It is a waste to keep such a good source of soldiers. As long as they survive this winter, everything will be fine.

There are too many flaws in the existing military system, how can an untrained army go to the battlefield, so let's say, the newly recruited army must train for more than four months.

In this way, it will be almost the spring of next year. By then, our army will have enough troops and high morale, and it will be difficult not to expand the territory. "

"If you don't fight an unprepared battle, it seems that you can only do so."

Jia Xu did not object to Chen Feng's expansion of the army. The key is that the population in western Liaoning is not large, and drawing one out of ten is considered a heavy military service. Now his side far exceeds this ratio.

But if you don't expand your army, you may never be able to fight on your side.

Perhaps as Chen Feng said, the food brought back by the caravan was enough to support the soldiers and civilians in western Liaoning. Rather than wasting manpower to farm the land, it would be better to use it to expand the army.

As soon as the news of the expansion of the army spread, the whole of western Liaoning was shaken. Young and middle-aged people over the age of 16 and under the age of 30 all wanted to join the army.

There was no way, the family was too poor, and Chen Feng gave the soldiers too much treatment at the beginning, and they didn't want to waste such an opportunity.

"The new recruits are paid [-] yuan a month, and they are given food and housing, as well as clothes and shoes."

Along the way, many people were communicating, and a man begged his parents.

"Three hundred yuan can buy more than one stone of grain. General Chen has long ordered that grain prices in western Liaoning are not allowed to increase. As long as one member of the family joins the army, at least the whole family will not starve to death,,,,,,,,"

"I heard that veterans have six hundred dollars a month."

A young man said to the brothers beside him: "If all our brothers can be chosen, the family will not have to worry about food and clothing. Even if only one of us is chosen, life will not be worse than it is now.

Moreover, there are regulations in the military that when paying salaries, you can choose to ask for money or food. Where can you find such a good thing.

A family member joins the army, and the whole family does not have to pay taxes for farming, brother, you and I have practiced some martial arts, and now it is time to repay our parents..."

The recruiting registration office is now crowded with people, more and more young and middle-aged people are vying to join the army, and even the common people in Liaodong and Youbei are rushing here.

Who would have thought that in this troubled world, someone would be willing to offer such a high price to recruit soldiers.

"Line up, line up, line up for me,,,,,,"

Some selected recruits began to receive their own clothing and equipment, and under the leadership of the veterans, they would walk into the barracks for training.

Some recruits' eyes were full of horror, while others looked confused.However, when everyone saw the food prepared in the cafeteria, the recruits were all excited.

"In troubled times, human lives are worse than dogs."

Looking at the scene in full swing in the camp, Chen Feng suddenly said this sentence, probably these happy recruits caused him to sigh.

"It's not so much about defending the country, it's more about struggling to survive in this troubled world and getting enough to eat."

It's no wonder that Chen Feng sighed in this way. Most of the other princes drove the people into soldiers when they launched wars.

Many people even regard the people as meat shields. Cao Cao once made human meat jerky when food and grass were in short supply. All of this is because of this evil world.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, wanted to prop up a piece of sky in this troubled world, a piece of sky that could protect the children of the Han family.

Chapter 82 Expansion of the Army 2

"How's the recruiting going?"

Inside the tent, Chen Feng hurriedly took down the quill pen in his hand. He was not used to using the brush, so he could only use a goose feather instead for the time being.

"The land of Youyan has always been bitterly cold, coupled with the repeated southward invasions of foreign races in the grassland, it has created a fierce folk style here. It can be said that the young and middle-aged people in this Youzhou land are very good soldiers.

This military expansion is related to our army's development plan for next year. The recruits will not be used for the time being. They will have to receive training for at least four months or even longer. So much money and food should not be wasted. "

"Don't worry, my lord. According to the recruit training manual formulated by my lord, our army has formed a relevant recruitment system."

As Chen Feng's closest general, Zhang Hehe is of course responsible for recruiting troops: "The recruits will receive training in discipline, physical fitness, skills, culture and other related aspects.

When the training of recruits is over, we only need to let them go to the battlefield to temper twice to ensure that these recruits will become elites.

According to the command of the lord, the new recruits recruited this time are not engaged in production, they are all full-time soldiers. This is not known to be much better than the recruitment system of other princes, but correspondingly, we have invested a lot of money and food, at least several times that of other princes .

Moreover, due to the large number of rangers and warriors in the land of Yanzhao, more and more men from Yanzhao are still rushing to the west of Liaoning.

It is estimated that we will end the recruitment work within ten days, and those who are not selected will have to return by the original route. "

"It's a pity that our army is short of money and food. Otherwise, in just one month, based on the salary offered by the Lord, even an army of [-] might be able to gather together."

Zhang Liao expressed regret to those young and strong men who were not selected: "Even if you choose the elite, you will definitely get [-] elite soldiers."

"I don't want to let go of all the young and strong people who have come to western Liaoning."

Of course, Chen Feng hoped that the population on his site would increase. These young people are precious human resources. If he can keep them, it will definitely be beneficial to his future development.

"But in terms of food and grass for our army,,,,,,"

"What do you think of the implementation of the auxiliary soldier system?"

Chen Feng suddenly came up with this idea: "A qualified cavalry needs at least two to three auxiliary soldiers to assist, whether it is armor arrangement, weapon maintenance or horse care, it all requires manpower.

Professional cavalry certainly don't have enough time to do these things. We can let auxiliary soldiers come. In the past, auxiliary soldiers were all old soldiers or there were no auxiliary soldiers at all. This is not appropriate. "

"Auxiliary soldiers? Isn't this just a civilian husband?" Zhang He shook his head and replied: "Once a war breaks out, we can recruit civilian husbands on the spot, so why bother..."

"The military must be professionalized so that it can be powerful in combat."

Chen Feng waved his hand, and he strengthened his belief: "We must implement the auxiliary army system, which is beneficial to the construction of the army and has no disadvantages.

In this way, according to the treatment of regular soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers will be halved. We can't afford so much food now, and the food and salaries of the auxiliary soldiers will all be cashed in copper coins or refined salt.

In addition, regular selection competitions will be held in the army. All auxiliary soldiers who can defeat regular soldiers will be given the opportunity to become regulars. All auxiliary soldiers are in charge of eating and living, and usually receive corresponding training.During the busy farming season, they go to farm and harvest grain.

Once there is a second chance to expand the army, new recruits will be selected from the auxiliary soldiers first, and then young and strong will be recruited to supplement the auxiliary soldiers. This will form an effective army selection system. In the future, all recruits who join the army must at least receive relevant training, why? Happy not to do it.

Once the battle is urgent, the auxiliary soldiers can replace the regular soldiers to defend the tower, which is much better than those who have not received training.

Yes, do it that way.We have no shortage of refined salt and refined iron, and the armor and weapons we produce are sufficient for our use, and we can completely implement the auxiliary soldier system. "

For the concept of auxiliary soldiers, the two giants Zhang He and Zhang Liao had more or less contact with them, but Chen Feng listed auxiliary soldiers as a separate unit, which was undoubtedly a huge improvement.

But at the same time, it also consumes more food, grass and salaries. Fortunately, there is indeed no shortage of refined salt on my side, and at the same time, I have dug a few copper mines.If you pay with refined salt or copper coins, this can definitely be done.

"Wonderful, wonderful,,,,,,"
