Chapter 556: Enko Begins
With the beginning of the summer harvest, the states and counties under the rule of the Han Dynasty also began to recruit soldiers according to the number of people.
Where the population is small, it is levied less, and where the population is large, it is levied more. The levy standard is between the ages of 18 and 25, and priority is given to recruiting men with brothers in the family, preferably without bad records.
It is the first time that the state assassins have seen such harsh conscription conditions, but fortunately, they only give priority to conscription, and it is not necessary to recruit such a conscription. After the decree arrived, it took about a month for the states to recruit the soldiers.
It was not dispersed, but recruited by any state, and reported to which army.
If they were scattered, it would mean that they would need to be fed all the way, which would be a lot of money. At the same time, in the words of this era, it is precisely because he is a child of Honshu that when others come in, he will defend without hesitation.
After all, their families are behind them, and if they escape, then their families and clans will be unlucky!
The two departments in the north and east of the town, and the corporal under the command of the Si'an General Department, also began to give priority to the selection of soldiers over the age of 35 and over the age of 40, and placed them in the local area to serve as county lieutenants or captains.
If the conditions are not enough, it can be used as a captain or team rate. Those over the age of 40 are given priority to transfer to the local government, and the number of people who are not enough to be selected from the age of 40 is no more. Later, to a certain extent, the army was conscripted every five years, and at the same time, the soldiers who were forty years old were also discharged from the army one after another.
Those with excellent performance are recommended to serve as thieves or armed police officers in the local area. If the performance is average, at least he has saved enough military salary, and when he goes back, he will buy some land and marry a daughter-in-law or something.
You can also form a team to do some dart games or something, and recently business has begun to be active, and there is a shortage of manpower in various places to escort goods.
"Your Majesty, this is to hide the army from the people......" Zhu Jun sighed, in this way, year after year, most adult men in the country may have experience in the army. If something happens in the future, you only need to give an order and immediately pull up a team of hundreds of thousands.
At the same time, the non-commissioned officers who have served in the military return to their hometowns and have children, and there is a high probability that they will pass on what they have learned. Children grow up in such an environment, and they are high-quality soldiers when they grow up.
At that time, the likes of 'Taishan Soldiers' and 'Danyang Soldiers' will not be so prominent.
"The main thing is that the team is young and dares to fight and kill, that is, it needs to be retrained every five years." Lu Zhi sighed.
He knew very well that Zhu Jun was very cool, after all, the establishment of the armed police, the military department was equivalent to another team to control. The main thing is that this is a team that can be directly mobilized by the military department!
"No, no, Your Majesty said, excellent troops, their soldiers only retired at the age of forty. In general, the army has been trained for two years, and at the age of twenty, it is almost already combat-ready. Each team and each tun are veterans, and they will soon become elites after a few battles. Zhu Jun shook his head and explained to Lu Zhi.
There will be a military academy in the follow-up to further strengthen the military quality of officers, as long as it is not obvious that the strength is crushed, or if it makes any major tactical mistakes, even if there is no magic from him, the departments can still become the strongest army in the world!
The differential treatment of elite troops, Lu Zhi felt understandable and a little more relieved. He was really worried that if the soldiers below were mainly recruits, would it really be okay to go to the battlefield?
It's okay if it's going well, but if it's a hard battle, there may be problems.
It's just that Liu Tao didn't know that they were discussing this, otherwise he would have said that the follow-up ideological issues would follow. It is imperative to appoint some 'supervising troops' to carry out ideological education or something......
It's just that this kind of prison army definitely needs to have a certain level of cultural literacy and eloquence. Unfortunately, his side has now expanded his recruits, and there is no shortage of soldiers. However, the issue of officials can only be supplemented after the completion of the Enke examination.
Whether we can get enough officials to supplement them to the localities is still to be said. The problem of supervising the army, Liu Tao is not easy to say, anyway, this is not very urgent.
Liu Tao is expanding enrollment here, why not other places are also expanding? It's just that they want to expand their recruitment, so naturally they have to wait until after the autumn harvest, but winter wheat, at least Yuan Shao has begun to consider promoting, and it is good to have more grain.
He didn't know that the formation of a technology, the completion of supporting technology is the key. Simple imitation will only be an imitation in the end. But even if Liu Tao knew, he wouldn't kindly remind Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao did not expand his army, but he still had enough troops to send troops.
Taking advantage of the fact that Ju Guo was messed up by Zang Ba and the people's livelihood was getting worse and worse, he sent Zhu Ling to lead an army of 3,000 to kill him, successfully defeated Zang Ba's department, and occupied Langxi County.
After Zang Ba failed, he went all the way south, but he did not maliciously loot places. In the end, Zhang Chao came out and incorporated Zang Babu, further expanding his own power.
At the same time, above the court, he began to expand his power without constraints.
According to Tao Qian's suggestion, Liu Yao planned to marry Zang Ba on the one hand, and sent someone to tell Cao Bao about the matchmaker on the other. It's a pity that Zang Ba directly refused to marry, and Cao Bao's attitude was also ambiguous.
Chen's father and son were so close to him that by August, Liu Yao could even feel that he was going to be finished.
Sure enough, by mid-August, Zhang Chao took a cadre of civil and military forces to force Liu Yao to take the throne. The latter was unwilling, and was finally framed to complete the Zen concession. Zhang Chao successfully ascended the throne, ascended the throne as emperor, and established the state of Qi.
At the same time, he sent people to form an alliance with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. The three of them hated Liu Tao very much, but they were happy to form an alliance and have always been external.
In the final analysis, Yuan Shu's current target is Lujiang County, so he let Zhang Chao go for the time being.
Yuan Shao was testing Yan Han to see if he could beat him down. If you can't, you will pull Yan Han and Xianbei, and form an alliance army with Zhang Chao and Yuan Shu to crusade against Liu Tao together, or at least to encircle the Northern Han.
Sun Jian defeated Zhang Ying and Fan Nengbu in Danyang, marched all the way, took advantage of the autumn to eat the enemy, and quickly defeated Danyang County. The army has no intention of stopping at all, and the army is directed at Wu County, that is, the capital of Wu Han!
In this battle, Sun Ce made a name for himself as a pioneer, and it was rumored that this matter gave him the nickname of 'Little Overlord'.
In Jing County, he defeated Tai Shici, the general under Liu Xuan, broke through the ambush of Zong Shuai Zulang, and subdued the two.
Liu Biao took the opportunity to use troops against Changsha, but was defended by Huang Gai, and was finally defeated by Zhou Tai, a general Jiang Qin, who had just joined Sun Jian's command, and led a naval army to defeat him, and fled back to Jiangling in embarrassment.
Huang Zu's general Gan Ning was captured, accepted the surrender of Sima Fang, and threw himself under the command of Sun Jian, the king of Luo.
These have nothing to do with Liu Tao very much, or rather, his attention at the moment is focused on this Enke.
A month ago, candidates had already gathered in Jinyang, and the number of candidates was at least three times more than last time. The legitimacy and authority of the Han Dynasty have gradually been recognized by people all over the world.
Even if he was dissatisfied with Liu Tao's attitude towards the scholars, he had to obediently send the children of the clan to participate in the scientific expedition.
"This is Jinyang...... It's actually more prosperous than Xiangyang......" A scholar walked on the street and sighed in a low voice.
