"Wangfu, the notice has been issued, everyone come and see!" I don't know who shouted, and the people around immediately flocked to the notice.

"What is written on this! I can't read, can I read it? Said the man in a patched coarse cloth shirt.

"Yongwang Mansion Order, from now on, Yongzhou will begin to implement the exchange of meritorious titles, the exchange principle is as follows, the third-class knight is one hundred meritorious points, and the second-class knight is two hundred meritorious values......"

"That's too expensive, isn't it? A knight of the third rank costs one hundred merit points. ”

"You think the title of nobility is a cabbage! Anyone can get it, although it is a little more expensive, but as long as you are willing to work hard, pay more food, and serve more labor; It won't be a few years before it's bad. ”

"That's right! As long as I work hard, there is no problem in obtaining the knighthood, and I now have ten merit points. ”

"Isn't there anything else down there? Mr. give it every year! ”

"Yongwangfu recruitment order, from now on Yongzhou to implement the conscription system and military service system coexist, all young men in Yongzhou have the obligation to defend their homeland, Yongjun is divided into tooth soldiers, government soldiers (soldiers and Tuntian soldiers) and township soldiers; Among them, the tooth soldiers and the soldiers are recruited into the system, the tooth soldiers can receive 20 merit points per month, and the soldiers can receive 10 merit points per month, and both the tooth soldiers and the soldiers need to be assessed;

Tuntian soldiers and township soldiers do not have merit points, but if they are called up and need to go to the battlefield, they will be given merit points according to the size of their merits...... And the village soldiers are all the young and strong ...... who are not in military service."

In this notice, the responsibilities and obligations of the tooth soldiers, the war soldiers, the Tuntian soldiers and the township soldiers are very clearly divided, the tooth soldiers are actually the elite troops of the Yong army, and the soldiers are the main force, and the Tuntian soldiers and the township soldiers belong to the supplementary troops.

The appearance of the notice immediately caused a sensation in the entire Yongcheng, and everyone dreamed of being able to enter the tooth soldiers, because the tooth soldiers are not only well paid, but also have a high merit value to take, being a soldier is already the fastest profession in Yongzhou to earn merit points, and having merit points means that you can live a better life, which means that you can get a higher title.

The next day, the Tooth Soldier Recruitment Office and the War Soldier Recruitment Office began to recruit soldiers at the same time, but the difference is that the War Soldier Recruitment Office only recruits in their respective government soldiers this time, while the Tooth Soldier Recruitment Office is for all the young people in the entire Yongzhou, so this has caused a phenomenon that there are basically no people in the Combat Recruitment Office of the Government Soldiers, but the Recruitment Office of the Tooth Soldiers is full.

However, the recruitment assessment of the tooth soldiers is very strict, the first is to run, not to run lightly, but to run with weights, and you need to carry 30 pounds of things to run two laps around the entire Yongcheng; The second item is to test physical strength, two fifteen-pound stone locks must be lifted ten times with both hands at the same time; The third is arm strength, which must be able to pull a strong bow with two stones five times......

Compared with the requirements of the tooth soldiers, the requirements of the soldiers in the government soldiers are lower, first of all, the weight of the thirty pounds to be able to besiege the city to run a circle, two fifteen pound stone locks can be lifted, can pull two stone strong bows.

Although the recruitment conditions of the tooth soldiers are very harsh, the recruitment is still very smooth, and the five thousand soldiers required for just one day's work have been recruited.

The soldiers of the government did not go so smoothly, and they did not recruit many people at all on the first day; However, after the recruitment of the tooth soldiers, the government soldiers immediately became fragrant and sweet, because the government soldiers were selected from the young and strong, so some people who came from afar to recruit had no way to enlist the soldiers in the government soldiers; So these people began to collectively petition in front of the palace, and finally Guo Qi decided that the soldiers in the government soldiers would also be recruited from the entire Yongzhou, but the number of soldiers in the government soldiers had not changed, and they were still the best of the best.

"Lord, the recruitment of all tooth soldiers and soldiers has been completed, and training can start tomorrow." Hu Qiong reported to Guo Qiyu.

"Okay, according to the "Training Minutes" we wrote earlier, we will implement it immediately."

"Lord, isn't this "Minutes of Military Training" too harsh, and the forbidden army has not practiced like this!"

"Harsh." Guo Qi stared at Hu Qiong with dead eyes and said: "This king would rather let them die tired on the training ground than let them lose their lives on the battlefield in the future, fighting will kill people." ”

Guo Qi's eyes made Hu Qiong half dead, and his eyes were full of anger and murder; "The lord is wise, and the last general will know that he is wrong."

"This is the armament of all branches of the armed forces written by this king Lian last night, Li Wu, you read it to the big guy."

Li Wu took the equipment preparation document and read: "The 5,000 tooth soldiers recruited this time and the 1,000 personal guards of the lord are organized into five yagong soldiers, namely: a pro-soldier mansion, a hoplite infantry mansion, a spear soldier mansion, a bow and crossbow soldier mansion, and a sword and shield soldier mansion;

Pro-Soldier Mansion: Each person has a set of iron armor, a bow and crossbow, two pots of arrows, a war knife, and a round shield.

Heavy infantry house: each person has a set of heavy iron armor, a sword to chop horses, a spear, a bow, and a pot of arrows.

Pikemen's house: one set of iron armor per person, one long spear, three short guns (javelins), one bow, and one pot of arrows.

Bow and crossbow soldiers: a set of leather armor, a bow and crossbow, a war knife, two pots of arrows, and one arrow.

Sword and shield soldiers: a set of leather armor, a war knife, a cowhide square shield, a round shield, a bow, and a pot of arrows.

Seven Prefecture Soldiers: Each prefecture soldier deputy team is equipped with a set of iron armor for officers above the ranks, a set of leather armor for the rest of the soldiers, a war knife, a spear, a round shield, a bow or crossbow, and a pot of arrows; Another 100 arrows during the battle......"

Hearing this kind of equipment preparation, Hu Qiong and the others were quite stupid, the most stupid should be said to be Ling Jing, now Ling Jing is not only in charge of the Cangcheng Treasury, but also in charge of the production of weapons in the workshop, this is also a matter of no way, who makes Guo Qi's subordinates have few talents!

"My lord, I have made a rough calculation of my humble duties just now; All the equipment of the tooth soldiers and the government soldiers required 1,200 sets of heavy iron armor, 2,883 sets of iron armor, 10,371 sets of leather armor, 1,200 horse swords, 16,800 crossbows, 12,000 swords, 10,080 round shields, 1,200 cowhide square shields, 108,000 spears, and 3,600 short spears, not counting arrows;

These ordinary equipment are easy to say, but we only have 600 sets of heavy armor for heavy foot soldiers, only 800 swords for horse chopping, 5,000 sets of leather armor, 5,000 crossbows, and not enough arrows; Only spears and knives can be equipped immediately. ”

"If the armament is insufficient, give priority to equipping the tooth soldiers, and your workshop must seize the time to make up for the gap in the armament, and strive to fill all the gaps in the next month."

"Lord, this ......" Ling Jing looked embarrassed.

"If you have anything to say, don't swallow it, if you lack manpower, this king will send it to you."

"My lord, there is no shortage of manpower when the lowly post arrives now, what is lacking is materials, mainly iron, leather, tendons, ......"

Speaking of these materials, Guo Qi is a little worried, these are all strategic materials that are not for sale, and if you want to buy them, you can only buy them through illegal means such as black market and smuggling.
