Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Seeing the Lady Marquis ask, Li Yuan quickly stood up, cupped his hands, and replied.

"The Marquis has already arranged everything properly; this humble officer is only here to pick up the slack and fill in the gaps for the Marquis."

"However, there are still matters of rewards and punishments that the Marquis should re-establish."

Longxiang Marquis Bai Jing exchanged a glance with her younger sister.

"You mean, matters of rewards and punishments?"

Li Yuan inwardly criticized, *sigh*, just how backward is the military theory of our Great Liang Dynasty?

You must clarify rewards and punishments before a battle; don't they even understand this?

In fact, the soldiers of the Great Liang also have military laws in their daily training.

And the Longxiang Army of the Longxiang Marquis also has its own military laws.

"As far as this humble officer knows, the military laws of the soldiers in various places are adapted to local conditions and have been altered at will, so they often differ from each other."

"The Longxiang Army and the soldiers from various places also have differences in the command of drums and flags."

"Once the army is engaged in battle, if the soldiers of the four prefectures in the central army do not understand the flags and drums, it may leave behind hidden dangers."

"To make the army's command clear, the Marquis can first unify the military laws and the drums and flags before the battle."

Li Yuan's words were logical, and the Longxiang Marquis nodded frequently.

Her experience in battle formations is actually not very rich.

Although the old Marquis fought in battles year-round and was a famous general of the Great Liang, he passed away before he could pass on his military strategies to his daughter.

So, this young Lady Marquis can only be considered to have a rough understanding of military strategy.

Moreover, the imperial court sent her to the northern frontier to resist the enemy with the intention of weakening the Longxiang Army.

Several things came together, causing the current Great Liang army to have chaotic command and unclear orders.

After Li Yuan's guidance, Bai Jing also realized the seriousness of this matter.

She exchanged a glance with her younger sister and asked in a posture of seeking advice.

"Then, Commandant Li, tell us, how should these military laws be formulated?"

Bai Yuxuan, who was on the side, added, afraid that her elder sister would lose face.

"The Marquis naturally has a plan in mind for formulating military laws. Asking you this is also to test your abilities."

Li Yuan inwardly criticized, you two are just being tsundere.

What test? I think you two just don't understand anything.

But on the surface, Li Yuan could only follow along and reply.

"It is my honor to be tested by the Marquis."

"This humble officer suggests that the military laws formulated by the Marquis before the battle must be concise and clear, and not complicated."

"So that those soldiers who do not know how to read can understand it as soon as they hear it."

Li Yuan knew that the most basic soldiers in the Liang army were all from humble backgrounds, and they would not be able to remember overly complicated military laws at all.

Therefore, unifying military orders and military laws can only be as simple as possible, and rewards and punishments must be emphasized.

So, Li Yuan continued to suggest.

"Marquis, this humble officer suggests that we can temporarily establish the 'Seven Slashes and Seven Rewards' law in the army."

The Lady Marquis and her younger sister exchanged glances and asked in confusion.

"Oh? Then Commandant Li, tell us first, what are the Seven Slashes?"

Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"The Seven Slashes are seven military laws that must not be violated before the battle."

"Once a soldier violates them, they will be directly sentenced to death."

"The Seven Slashes are respectively."

"Those who disobey the general's orders before the battle, slash!"

"Those who retreat before the enemy in battle, slash!"

"Those who make noise and disrupt the morale of the army, slash!"

"Those who abandon military supplies and equipment, slash!"

"Those who fail to defend properly, slash!"

"Those who steal the military merits of others, slash!"

"Those who seize the wealth and women of the people, slash!"

After listening to Li Yuan's Seven Slashes, the Longxiang Marquis nodded frequently.

"Yes, Commandant Li, well said!"

These seven military laws basically covered most of the situations that could be encountered before the battle.

The Longxiang Marquis believed that there were no problems, so she asked softly again.

"Then, Commandant Li, what are the Seven Rewards?"

Li Yuan replied.

"If the soldiers fight desperately, there must be punishment for faults, and there must also be rewards for merits."

"These Seven Rewards are the seven kinds of meritorious service that soldiers can establish before the army."

"This humble officer suggests that the Seven Rewards are respectively."

"Those who charge to the front, reward!"

"Those who break through the enemy lines without retreating, reward!"

"Those who kill enemy generals in battle, reward!"

"Those who seize the flag while charging, reward!"

"Those who rescue friendly troops, reward!"

"Those who seize enemy heads, reward!"

"Those who inspire the entire army, reward!"

"Yes, good!"

The Longxiang Marquis was also very appreciative after listening to the seven reward categories.

She was indeed right about this Commandant Li.

Such simple and clear rewards and punishments, even ordinary soldiers who do not know how to read, can memorize the general outline of the military laws as long as they memorize them for a while.

It is very suitable for the current situation of the Great Liang army being pieced together from east to west.

So, the Longxiang Marquis immediately ordered that the Seven Slashes and Seven Rewards be announced to the entire Great Liang army.

Moreover, with the refinement of her younger sister Bai Yuxuan, the rewards for killing enemies in battle were also determined.

For example, if a soldier kills one Tiele cavalryman and obtains his head, he will be directly rewarded with ten taels of silver.

Killing a Tiele centurion will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. If you have the ability to kill a Tiele commander of ten thousand, that is a reward of ten thousand taels of silver!

She, the Longxiang Marquis, does not lack silver, and she can afford this kind of reward.

If the Tiele army is really defeated, the benefits that her Bai family and the Longxiang Marquis herself can obtain will far exceed the silver rewards paid out.

Soon, throughout the camp, the commandants and captains of each army were running around with the newly released military orders.

Announcing the rewards offered by the Longxiang Marquis and the latest Seven Slashes and Seven Rewards military laws to the entire army.

With clear military laws and clear rewards for beheading enemies at all levels.

The mood of the entire Great Liang army quickly stabilized.

The morale was also visibly improved.

Everywhere, orders were carried out without fail, and the command was much smoother.

The Longxiang Marquis once again inspected various places and found that the soldiers from various prefectures were much more active.

Especially those soldiers who were responsible for making wooden shields and wooden signs.

When they heard that this thing could help them resist the arrows of the Tiele people, and that whoever made it would use it.

Their enthusiasm immediately soared, and many squads of soldiers even made no less than three or four.

The camps and wooden walls on Luan Stone Mountain were also completed.

Several thousand archers drawn from the entire army were also deployed in place.

Looking at the soldiers from various prefectures ready, the Longxiang Marquis had some confidence in being able to stop the Tiele army tomorrow.

When she thought that these plans all came from the commandant Li Yuan beside her.

She turned her head again and asked Li Yuan.

"Commandant Li, do you have any more strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Li Yuan pondered for a while, then replied to the Lady Marquis.

"If the Marquis can hand over all the artisans of the army to me for unified dispatching."

"This humble officer still has a few ways to defeat the enemy."

Generally, in a large army, there will be a special artisan camp, with blacksmiths, carpenters, and even leatherworkers.

They are usually responsible for helping soldiers repair weapons and armor, and making various battle defense equipment during wartime.

In the Great Liang army, some soldiers were originally artisans.

There are at least thousands of these skilled people in the Great Liang army.

The Lady Marquis nodded.

"If Commandant Li only needs to dispatch some artisans, this matter is not difficult."

"In a moment, I will give you a handwritten order."

"I will make all the artisans of the army listen to your orders."

Then she turned her head and said with a smile.

"Commandant Li, you must not disappoint me."

Li Yuan received the handwritten order and immediately took over the artisan camp. He found the chief manager of the artisan camp.

And immediately handed over several drawings he had drawn to the artisan camp to make.

Li Yuan understood in his heart that his previous plans could only resist the Tiele people for one or two rounds.

If he wanted to survive, he had to prepare sufficient backup plans.

The Tiele people's fighting spirit and soldier quality were far stronger than the Great Liang army.

He had to use some methods to bridge this gap.

He was discussing the details of the construction with several artisans.

A personal soldier of the Longxiang Army ran over, cupped his hands, and said to Li Yuan.

"Commandant Li, the Longxiang Marquis has issued an order."

"Today, Commandant Li has contributed to the strategy, and can eat dinner with the Marquis."

Li Yuan was a little surprised.

It seems that this Lady Marquis is really good to him.

There are not many opportunities to eat with the Marquis.

If those supervisors and prefectural generals knew about it, they would be extremely envious.

Li Yuan looked up at the sky and found that it was already late afternoon, You hour.

It was indeed time to eat, so he hurried to the central army tent.

Since the Marquis personally ordered him to eat with her, it would be too impolite to be late.
