Zhang Hao frowned and nodded after listening to Cheng Yu's words, a sentence in "The Art of War", "Where there are 100,000 teachers, go on a journey of thousands of miles, the people's expenses, the public's dedication, and the daily expenses." There are 700,000 people who are in turmoil inside, neglect the passages, and are not allowed to do things. ”

That is to say, according to the normal productive forces, 100,000 soldiers who are out of work need 700,000 families to support, and according to the average family of five people, it is necessary to have 3.5 million people to support 100,000 soldiers.

At this time, there were new crops in Liaodong, and there were agricultural tools researched by Ma Jun and other engineering students, and the productivity could be about double that of normal.

When necessary, one person from twenty or less can be selected as a soldier, but if that happens, it will inevitably have a certain impact.

As for history, by the late Three Kingdoms, the population of Shu Han was 940,000 and the army was 100,000. Cao Wei had a population of 4 million and an army of 600,000. Sun Wu had a population of 2 million and an army of 200,000, which had reached the ratio of less than 10 people to one soldier, so you can imagine what kind of life the people lived at that time.

And the chaotic war in the past few decades has directly led to a population of 50 or 60 million, and only a few million remain, so that in the face of the chaos of China, it has been impossible to organize a strong army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haodun felt a lot of pressure, and urgently wanted to promote national integration, so as to eliminate the root cause of the Wuhu chaos and how to save more people in this turmoil.

"In this way, the professional soldiers who are out of production will garrison one military force in each county town, and one battalion in each county, and these troops will be the city defense army in the future, and they will only be stationed in the city, and I will not recruit them to go out to fight."

"In addition, to develop the militia, all men over the age of 15 and under the age of 40 must undergo training for more than one month every year during the agricultural slack, and the militia does not need to take time off, and most of them will not be allowed to participate in combat."

"But if they are under siege and they can't support them, they need to take up arms, and although most militias may never have the opportunity to go to war in their lifetime, they must ensure that everyone has a certain level of military literacy."

"Mu Sen, you are the captain of the Xuansu County City Defense Army, commanding all the Xuanwu County City Defense Army, Yuanzhi, you are the captain of the Liaodong County City Defense Army, commanding the Liaodong City Defense Army." Zhang Hao said, looking at Deng Mao and Cheng Yuanzhi.

"It's the lord." Deng Mao and Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly got up.

Today, there are eleven county seats in Liaodong County, and Xuansu County counts the territory of Goguryeo that has been defeated, and the military strength of each county is 30,000, and each county adds a battalion, which is more than 40,000.

According to the ratio given by Cheng Yu, a total of 70,000 troops can be raised now, and the city defense army accounts for most of them at once.

"Brother Shengji, all the city defense troops are dispatched by you, you don't need to form an army for the time being, and when our territory is bigger in the future, we will find an opportunity to form a direct force." Zhang Hao said to Gongsun Du again.

"Yes" Gongsun Du got up and responded, although he did not let him form his own army, but now most of the army had to be at his disposal.

"In addition to the city defense army, it is necessary to form a field army, and in the future, when going out to fight or garrisoning border cities, etc., the field army will be mainly mobilized, and the city defense army will not be mobilized under normal circumstances."

"In addition to the three cavalry battalions, the field army will also form three infantry battalions, and the three of you, Hanqing, Yangtu, and Xianneng, will each lead a battalion."

"Yes, my lord." Zhang Chen, Bu Ji, and Bo Cai stood up and said yes.

"Hehe, lord, the third battalion of cavalry and the third battalion of infantry are all field troops, you can't favor one over the other." Bu Jihe said with a smile.

"How?" Zhang Hao looked at Bu Ji with a smile and asked.

"The three battalions of the cavalry have numbers, and our three battalions of infantry, see if you can also give them a number." Bu Ji said with a flattering face.

"Oh? What do you want? ”

"Lord, how much ink do I have in my stomach, please give me a name." Bu Ji said embarrassedly.

"In this way, the three infantry battalions are called Wei, which are Jianwei, Fenwei, and Yangwei." Zhang Hao thought for a while and said.

"Thank you, Lord." After hearing this, the three of them said excitedly.

"Lord, lord, the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and our city defense army can't be left behind." Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly said when he heard this.

"Yuanzhi, now we only have two counties, it's okay to have a number, but in the future, our territory will be bigger, and the lord can't give every battalion a number." Gongsun Du glared at Cheng Yuanzhi and said.

"However, won't the field army also need to expand in the future?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked puzzled.

"Yuanzhi, the expansion of the field army is not the same as the expansion of the city defense army, the expansion of the field army will be based on the present, expand the establishment, and the number can also continue to be used." Gongsun Du explained.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yuanzhi asked indiscriminately.

"For example, the Jianwei Battalion, if you need to expand the army in the future, as long as you use the current Jianwei Battalion as the basis, expand the establishment and become an army, and the number will directly become the Jianwei Army."

"However, the expansion of the city defense army will basically not change in terms of establishment, but it will change according to the city we occupy, and we will add a battalion to the next county."

"Even if you command the city defense army of a state in the future, you will be promoted by yourself, and the Liaodong city defense army is still the Liaodong city defense army, and it will not change with your promotion." Gongsun Du explained carefully to Cheng Yuanzhi.

"Huh? That's right. Cheng Yuanzhi said with a disappointed face.

"It's okay Yuanzhi, the city defense army can be named after the place." Zhang Hao smiled and said comfortingly.

"Named after a place?"

"That's right, if you are like you commanding the city defense army in Liaodong, you can take Liaodong as the name, it will be called the Liaodong Battalion, and even the lower departments can have a number, and those who are stationed in Xiangping will be called the Xiangping Department, and those who are stationed in the Liao team will be called the Liao Team Department."

"Haha, good, this good, this good." Hearing Zhang Hao's words, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately burst out laughing, and glanced at Zhang Fei and Bo Cai with a provocative expression.

"In addition, in the field army, except for the logistics troops, there is no need for militia, but a group of reserve soldiers can be trained, and people who meet the standards and are willing to join the field army can be selected and trained."

"These reservists must participate in training for more than three months every year during the agricultural slack period, and those who pass can receive a quarter of the field army soldiers' salary, and when the field army is damaged in battle or needs to expand the army, they are called up in the reserves."

"Lord, it's no problem to train the militia, it's just that this reserve soldier ......," Cheng Yu said with a look of embarrassment.

"Mr. Zhongde, is there any problem?" Zhang Hao looked at Cheng Yu strangely and asked.

"Lord, the city defense army and the field army together have exceeded 70,000, and it will not have much impact if it is not much, but the training of reserve soldiers requires food and salary, and the military expenditure is too large, I am afraid it will be difficult to support."

"That's right...... Postpone the matter of the reserve and wait until the time is ripe to implement it. Zhang Hao said with a deep groan.
