When Li Xiao took Weihaiwei and killed the four Wei commanders, in fact, he also sent the three general soldiers of the Chifeng Battalion A, B, and C respectively to Chengshanwei, Jinghaiwei, and Dasongwei to forcibly seize the actual management power of the three places.

The other three Davids, who were already leaderless, and the soldiers of the guards in the city, who were scattered and demoralized, had already been frightened of the bitter gall, and the cities of the three guards, when Li Xiaojun was under the supervision of the city, immediately opened the door to greet them, and none of them dared to refuse or resist.

After successfully seizing the three guard cities, the four Davids in Dengzhou all fell into the hands of Li Xiao.

Because of Wei Haiwei's last request before his death, Li Xiao agreed to save the lives of his family, and the other envoys commanded by the three Davids were also dishonored, and Li Xiao did not kill their families.

However, although Li Xiao spared their lives, he did not let them go because of this.

Because, Li Xiao knew that this time the four commanders could not make a mess, but on the contrary, it could become a good opportunity for him to completely eradicate the forces of the guard.

Li Xiao immediately ordered that all the homes of the four commanders be confiscated and all their property and fields confiscated.

The commanders of the four Davids' offices, the commanders of the Tongzhi, and the officials of the thousands of households and the officials of the hundred households in the guard office, also took advantage of this opportunity to give them fabricated charges, and all of them were arrested and their homes searched.

Li Xiao took advantage of this opportunity for the four Davids to command a joint conspiracy to completely wipe out the original forces of the Four Davids.

According to the report of the superintendent department, from the four Davids, a total of about 100,000 mu of land and more than 800,000 taels of silver were seized from the officials of the guards.

Li Xiao only seized 100,000 mu of land from the Four Davids, in fact, there is a reason.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, such as the guards in the south of the Yangtze River, the cultivated land was often more than 50,000 mu, such as the rich guards such as Jianyangwei in Nanzhili Taiping Mansion and Haiwei in Suzhou Prefecture, and one of them had more than 100,000 acres of good ripe fields.

And now among the four Davids, combined, there are only 130,000 mu of land, this is because, in the boundary of Dengzhou, the guards are all located near the sea, the land salinization is very serious, the land that can be cultivated is quite limited, and the quality of the land is much worse.

Among them, the land owned by David has been wantonly usurped by officials of all sizes, and the number of encroachments has reached a staggering 80 percent, and the military households below who have no land and are impoverished are in a sense nothing more than free serfs for officials of all sizes.

As a result, the flight of military households in every guard station is very serious.

It's just that the more military households flee, the more conducive it is for the officials of the large and small health centers to share the land, and at the same time, they can eat more empty salaries, which can be said to be beneficial from both ends.

After the arrest of the house was completed, Li Xiao ordered that all the arrested officials of the Four Davids were assigned to Tielong City and punished as hard labor for the mining team, and their families were all exiled to Jeju Island.

Of course, when these people arrive on Jeju Island, they will also be divided into land according to households, just like the displaced people on Jeju Island, and will support themselves from then on.

Then, Li Xiao distributed the 100,000 mu of land to the poor and helpless military households at a rate of 20 mu per household, and also stipulated that they could pay the land tax according to the system like the displaced people who came to Dengzhou to pioneer.

Li Xiao's measure quickly won the enthusiastic support of those poor military households.

Many of the military households, who had been given a share of the land and no longer had to pay extremely heavy private taxes, burst into tears and thanked Li Xiao from the bottom of their hearts for this benevolent policy.

Next, Li Xiao organized all the land of these guards into new townships, and the Acropolis was like an ordinary county town, forming various departments such as the Department of Civil Affairs, the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Security.

In this way, it is equivalent to Li Xiao getting four more small-scale county seats, and the purpose of his doing this is to completely eliminate this kind of guard post in Dengzhou City, which has no role as a tumor, so that the cities and land of these guard posts can play a better role.

Then, Li Xiao began to eliminate the original soldiers of the guard who lacked training and had low morale.

Li Xiao first gave all the soldiers of the guard station and settled the arrears of food and salary over the years that could be checked.

Then, from among the four Davids, about 2,000 young soldiers with excellent physiques were selected and sent to the Chifeng Battalion in Dengzhou to become auxiliaries.

The rest of the old and weak were given another 3 taels of silver per person for severance pay and let them go home to farm.

Li Xiao's move was reasonable and won the hearts of the people, so all the old and weak guards who were sent home did not complain and obediently went home to farm.

And after finally rectifying the relevant things in the guard, Li Xiao felt that it was time to carry out the military rank rating system.

Li Xiao believes that this incident is very important to Li Xiaojun's future development, and it is also a necessary step for the army to finally move closer to the modern army.

Li Xiao decided to divide the ranks according to the proficiency of the soldiers' martial arts skills, and divided the soldiers into three ranks: corporal, sergeant, and sergeant.

The sergeant's helmet and waist badge are engraved with two red paint lines, the sergeant's helmet and waist badge are each engraved with a silver paint line, and the corporal has no paint line.

From now on, soldiers of different ranks can enjoy different categories of preferential treatment.

The sergeant can see the captain or captain without kneeling, get a first-class monthly salary of 3.5 taels of silver per month, eat a class A food stove, and give priority to battle rewards, and give priority when there is a chance to be promoted in the future.

The sergeant received a second-class monthly salary of 2.5 taels of silver per month, ate a class B food stove, and was rewarded after the sergeant and before the corporal.

The corporal takes a third-class monthly salary of 1.5 yuan of silver per month, eats class C food stoves, and the battle reward is at the end.

The above are the standards of ordinary spear and shield soldiers and firearms troops, for the elite rampant sentry and cavalry of various departments, there are only two kinds of sergeants and sergeants, Li Xiao in order to select the elite, but also for the rampant team and cavalry to set up a highest-level --- sergeant, for the most elite and rare sergeant.

Rui Shi's monthly salary is higher than that of the sergeant, reaching 5 taels per month, and you can see the supreme commander Li Xiao without kneeling down to see it, just give a military salute, eat the officer's food stove, the battle reward is the richest, and the promotion of the rank is no exception to the first arrangement.

Their helmets and waist tags are distinctive with three purple lacquer lines.

Regarding the assessment of officers and the formulation of military ranks, Li Xiao intends to take a step back.

After all, the evaluation standards of officers cannot be the same as those of soldiers, and they should be purely based on skills, and the most prudent way is to carry out reform step by step.

Li Xiao referred to the opinions of the generals of various branches of the military and formulated a simple manual for the determination of martial arts.

The commanders of each team and the military town and town brigade shall conduct a unified and open evaluation, and the ranks of soldiers shall be divided according to the standards.

At the same time, Li Xiao stipulated that the division of the corporal is not immutable, but that there will be a fair opportunity to compete every year, and soldiers of all branches of the military will compete in martial arts on the school field together, and the corporal can be promoted to sergeant, and the sergeant may also become a corporal if his martial arts level declines.

Because this is an open competition and assessment, there are measurement standards as a reference, which also puts an end to the possibility of black-box operations and generals abusing power for personal gain, thus ensuring that the selection of each soldier is more reasonable and fair.

Therefore, if you want to strive for good treatment or maintain good treatment, then it is the most fundamental way to improve your martial arts in a down-to-earth manner.

Li Xiao decided to implement such a system in the Red Phoenix Camp first, and if the effect was good, the Iron Dragon Camp and the Golden Wolf Camp should also adopt the same degree.

After Li Xiao's military rank system was issued, it was like throwing a huge stone into the calm water of a lake, setting off turbulent waves.

In the Chifeng Battalion, every soldier is talking about it, and their hearts are full of yearning to become a sergeant.

"The sergeant's treatment is so good, the monthly salary is good, and the reward is given priority, so I have to fight hard no matter what."

"That is, when you become a sergeant, you don't have to kneel when you see a superior, you need to be more angry."

"There is also first-class food, which is said to be the best food standard in the entire Tiger Army."

"Master Li has thought about it so carefully, so that the big guys will have to train hard."

。

。

。

。

。

。

The yearning and expectation of the soldiers is completely understandable, no one does not want to be a superior man, and no one does not like better treatment, especially if such treatment can be achieved by their own efforts.

The generals who trained the soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that each soldier was now training more diligently and consciously, so that the generals had much less scolding and reprimanding.

Five days after the notice was issued, Li Xiaojun's first assessment of combat skills officially began.

The war drums were rumbling, the military flag was hunting, Li Xiao, who was dressed in silver all-steel armor and a red silk cloak as red as blood, was heroic and upright, and he rode out of the field and slowly ran around the school field, greeting the warm cheers of all the sergeants with a serious expression.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wansheng 。。。。。。"

The teaching field was boiling, all the soldiers were shouting slogans hoarsely, their simple and rough black faces were full of excitement, and the eyes of every soldier looking at Li Xiao were endless reverence.

Li Xiao waved to the soldiers, he looked at these brothers who were born and died with him gently and sternly, and his heart was full of emotion.

Li Xiao, who returned to the school field, nodded to Tian Wei, the commander of the Chifeng Battalion, who was also wearing bright armor, and Tian Wei immediately shouted in a deep voice: "The skill assessment of sergeants of all branches of the military starts now!" ”

The various branches of the military were examined separately, and soon, the rumbling of horses' hooves, the roar of guns, and the shouts of soldiers resounded.

Lu Zhancai, a soldier of the third team of the Chifeng Battalion A General C Sentinel Spearmen, stood silently in the team, holding a 4-meter stainless steel spear in his hand, and his heart beat like a small drum.

The roar of Guan Qian, the captain of the third team of spearmen, seemed to be still in his ears, reminding him not to forget the assessment standards of spearmen.

How could it be forgotten that this is an assessment of one's own treatment and future, and every soldier has memorized the examination standards of his own military branch very well.

"All spearmen are assessed on ten times, each spearman is ten paces away, rushes to the shield, stabs forward with a spear, nine or more out of ten stabs, is a sergeant, seven or more out of ten stabs, is a sergeant, and seven or less is a corporal."

Looking at the shield in the distance, as well as the humanoid target with red dots on the head, neck, and chest behind the shield, Lu Zhancai tried to suppress his excited expression, and silently recited the assessment criteria in his heart.

By this time, nearly halfway through the examination of the spearmen, the first and second teams had the best performances, and four of the spearmen had each received the rank of sergeant, which was warmly cheered by their captain and soldiers.

This was followed by 3 sergeants in the 4th team and 2 in the 5th team.

At this time, only one person in Team C got the rank of sergeant, and the captain Guan Zhen looked at the teasing eyes of Yang Zhen, the captain of Team A, and Gao Xiaofei, the captain of Team B, and his heart was furious.

"You dogs like this have heard clearly, the next time you get the sergeant rank, the captain will give him the silver reward from the last Korean battle!"

Feeling very faceless, he gritted his teeth and roared.

There was silence in his answer.

It is easy to say that it is easy to say that it is easy to say that it is easy to sprint with a 4-meter spear and ten steps to sprint over the shield, to cross the shield, and to do it ten times.

From the start to the stabbing, any small mistake in any step is very likely to be much worse than the target you want to stab.

Therefore, those soldiers who became sergeants, from themselves to the captain, were so happy and happy, and a soldier of the fourth team couldn't help crying loudly after getting the sergeant rank in a thrilling way, and let the tears of happiness flow all over his face.

Guan Qian's expectant gaze fell on Lu Zhancai's face.

The meaning in his eyes was fully revealed, Lu Zhancai, you, the most outstanding and excellent spearman in the usual training of the three teams, it is up to you.

Guan Qian's vision seemed to be a substantial burden, which made Lu Zhancai feel a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

Soon, one of the invigilators waved a red flag and shouted: "Next, Spearman Team C, Lu Zhancai, come on the field." ”

Lu Zhancai walked out of the queue in silence, he met the captain's gaze and nodded heavily.

He looked around and found countless pairs of eyes with different eyes staring straight at him, and Lu Zhan, who had become the center of everyone's attention, felt his heart beat even more violently.

The drums sounded enthusiastically, and Guan Zhen and the soldiers of the three teams of spearmen shouted to cheer for Lu Zhancai: "Come on, Zhancai, give our three teams a good long face!" ”

"Ready, begin."

The invigilator's red flag waved violently.

Lu Zhancai shouted, bent his legs heavily, raised his spear flat, put on a standard attack posture, and then shouted and rushed towards the shield in front of him!

"Kill!"

Lu Zhancai rushed to the shield, and the spear in his hand came out as swiftly as a swimming dragon, passing over the upper end of the shield, only to hear "grab"

With a violent bang, the tip of the steel spear stabbed fiercely on the red dot on the neck of the humanoid wooden target!

"Lu Zhancai succeeded in the first blow!"

The proctor's voice rang out loud.

"Well done, come again!"

Guan Qian's voice of appreciation came from afar from the warm applause of the three teams of gunmen.

"Kill!"

Pierced the red dot on the head!

"Kill!"

Pierced the red spot on the chest!

"Kill!"

Pierced the red spot on the neck!

。

。

。

。

。

。

When Lu Zhancai struck the red dot on the humanoid target for the sixth time in a row, he suddenly thundered with joy.

The three teams of spearmen stomped their feet and shouted happily, and the captain Guan Zhen's face was even more excited.

Lu Zhancai, who was panting, wiped the oil and sweat on his face, licked his lips that were a little dry, and waved his hand to his brothers on the same team.

The fierce drums beat again.

With a loud shout, Lu Zhan started to sprint again.

"Kill!"

This shot is empty!

The tip of the spear slashed past the red dot on the neck, and the barbed spines on the back of the head carried up a large piece of wood slag.

"Lu Zhancai's seventh blow failed!"

The invigilator's voice sounded coldly.

The spearmen of Team C, who were about to reach out to hug him, suddenly froze in the air with their outstretched hands.

"Don't be afraid, there are three more chances. Take advantage of it. ”

Guan Qin shouted encouragement from the sidelines.

Lu Zhancai nodded to him, Guan Zhen blushed his face and waved his fist at him.

The drums beat loudly, and the eighth stab began.

"Kill!"

The tip of the stainless steel spear carried a sharp white light, and the red spot on the chest of the wooden target was pierced at once, and it was very deep into the wood.

"Lu Zhancai succeeded in the eighth blow, passed the grade, and was awarded the rank of sergeant!"

A smile appeared on Zhen Fu's face, and his voice sounded high-pitched.

The second sergeant of the Spear C squad was born.

There was a lot of applause, and the soldiers of the three teams ran over enthusiastically, wanting to hug Lu Zhancai, but they were appeased and retreated by the invigilator.

"Well, you didn't disappoint me."

Guan Zhen shouted at him with a happy face.

Lu Zhan returned him with a bright smile.

Lu Zhancai is not satisfied, he still has to challenge higher goals.

That is to become a sergeant.

I, Lu Zhancai, am going to be the first spearman sergeant.

I want to make this temporary military academy a legend and glory in my life!
