Chapter 125: Massive Expansion of the Army
"Very well, the land matter has been settled, now let's move on to the second issue." Qin Forget was very satisfied in his heart, and he was also impressed with Yin Xian, sure enough, they were all people who had been rolling in the officialdom for half their lives, and the way to choose was just right. "The problem is to expand the army."
"The army? Qin Dongjia, now that there are not enough manpower in Kaichun, is it a bit out of place to expand the army now. "After last night's events were settled, everyone faintly took Qin Forget as the leader. Dong Zhuang reintegrated the county soldiers, and controlled more than 350 well-trained brothers, and his military strength was far greater than that of Qin Wang, but Dong Zhuang did not compete with Qin Wang for power. He knew very well that perhaps he was much better than Qin Forget in terms of military ability, but in other aspects, he was far inferior to Qin Wang. Now Chicheng, what needs is Qin Wang, not him. Naturally, Qin Forget is also commensurate with the owner, but there is one more Qin character.
The relationship between Qin Wang and Dong Zhuang is very complicated, Dong Zhuang has saved Qin Wang's life many times before, and the two cherish each other. followed by the further deepening of the relationship between the two, who once called each other brothers. But the good times didn't last long, whether it was helpless or forced, Dong Zhuang led troops to Qinjia Village, and there were county soldiers grabbing grain, which really hurt the feelings of Qin Forget and the entire Qinjia Village. This brother, the two of them couldn't say it anyway.
Hearing Dong Zhuang call himself the owner, it was an expression of his unwillingness to fight for power with him, which was also something that Qin Forget was happy to see.
"I know, but building an army that is enough to make everyone jealous is the top priority right now. Don't forget, what is the biggest threat right now. Qin Forget didn't talk to Dong Zhuang about subordination, he also knew that the dragons couldn't be without a leader, and at this time, Chicheng definitely couldn't mess up.
"Now we have 350 county soldiers, and the Qin Dong family also has 300 junior soldiers, 500 village soldiers, and 60 archers, which is really not enough to protect the safety of Chicheng, so how many people does the owner want to expand?" Dong Zhuang was shocked, and couldn't help but think of the group of elite knights last night, and now the number of soldiers and horses in Chicheng was obviously not enough to resist, and he no longer objected to Qin Forget.
"I'm going to expand the number of people by another 1,450, which is the limit of Akagi's manpower. The Cadet Corps is young and undertrained, and will be used as a reserve in its own right. I propose to recruit new recruits from among the common people and conduct mixed training with county and village soldiers. This is to allow veterans to bring new recruits in order to increase their combat effectiveness extremely quickly. A total of more than 2,300 people formed a compendium army, with Dong County Lieutenant as the commander of the army, Yang Xuan as the deputy commander of the army, and Wang Ping, Ding Chen, Luo Gang, and Cao Qing as the commanders of the four battalions, each with 500 people. Duan Jiu served as the commander of the guards battalion, leading 300 elites as guards, guarding the gates of Akagi when there was no war, and supervising the battle team when there was a war. Su Dingnan served as the commander of the bow battalion. In addition, the cavalry battalion was formed, although we only have 66 war horses, and now we are training as seeds, I want to let Jin Sen, who was born in cavalry, be the commander of the battalion, what do you think? Qin Forget said his initial thoughts.
"The other subordinates have no opinions, but Zhuang doesn't dare to trespass, and it's better for the commander to be the owner himself." Seeing that Qin Forget trusted himself unreservedly, Dong Zhuang was slightly moved in his heart. It's just that after all, he has done a few things that are sorry for him and Qinjia Village, but he really didn't expect Qin Forget to be so generous, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
Qin Forget noticed that Dong Zhuang's title had changed again, and he was secretly happy in his heart, no one was a saint, and he didn't worry about the issue of rights. Now that Dong Zhuang has taken the initiative to claim himself, his heart has also been completely relaxed.
"Don't shirk Lao Dong." Following Dong Zhuang's words, Qin Forget also changed his name, so that everyone was not embarrassed, "You are an old soldier, and you have forgotten that you grew up listening to the story of your early years fighting against the Hu people in Changbai Mountain." The army is in your hands, and I am sure that it will not be long before we have a strong army. Qin Forget ignored Yang Xuan, who kept pulling his sleeves behind him, and said frankly to Dong Zhuang.
Others didn't notice Yang Xuan's small movements, but Dong Zhuang saw it and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Compared with veterans such as Yang Xuan and Ding Chen, he is too much worse in terms of qualifications and feelings. "Dongjia, since Zhuang called you Dongjia, you should do your best and want to repay you with death. The position of military commander, Zhuang did not dare to accept it no matter what. ”
"Lao Dong, since you call me the owner, then you have to accept it, I absolutely trust my brother. You and I are both dignified men, so don't engage in these false manners. Qin Forget turned his head and glared at Yang Xuan fiercely, looking at Dong Zhuang solemnly.
"But 。。。。。。"
"Dong Zhuang, this is an order!" The momentum on Qin Wang's body suddenly changed, and the people around him immediately felt the coercion. Qin Wang, who had just ascended to power, didn't like anyone to refute him again and again, even under any pretext.
Dong Zhuang's face also changed, he had only felt the murderous aura on Qin Wang's body before, but he didn't expect that there would be such a strong coercion this time, in Qin Wang's body, this kind of temperament came so quickly.
"Yes, Zhuang obeys." Dong Zhuang stopped talking nonsense.
"That's right, why are they all brothers, and they don't have to be born." Qin Forget smiled at this time.
"Dispatch the Young Army and the Flying Axe Team back to Qinjia Village to protect there. The remaining four battalions were stationed in the southeast, northwest, and northwest outside Akagi according to the battalion number, and only the Guards battalion guarded the castle. In addition, 500 sets of cotton armor were found from the treasury of the county government this time, and they were evenly distributed among the four battalions, and the guards battalion, archers, and cavalry were not distributed for the time being. In addition, there are a total of sixty-three sets of iron armor, which are assigned to officers at all levels according to the quality of the goods, and you are all Akagi pillars, and you must not have any problems. Qin Forget opened his mouth to distribute weapons and equipment.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and each of the four battalions could be divided into 125 sets of cotton armor, which was more than one-fifth of the armor rate, which greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the troops. Especially Ding Chen, he almost jumped up happily, in the last big competition, two hundred sets of cotton armor fell into the hands of him and Su Dingnan without accident. This time Su Dingnan went to bring the bow and arrow battalion, Su Dingnan's original team will be broken up and reorganized, then he may be able to catch dozens of armored soldiers, so calculated, his second battalion may have 300 armored people, which will undoubtedly become the most powerful in the whole army.
Qin Forget obviously noticed Ding Chen's smugness, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he didn't break it, in fact, this was also specially arranged by him, everyone in Qinjia Village in Chicheng was new, and the latecomers were on top, and they didn't have some strength to control the field, so I was afraid that life would not be easy. He obviously also saw Su Dingnan always glancing at Ding Chen, who was getting carried away, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
I have 60 archers in Qinjia Village, and there are 50 county soldiers, and I plan to recruit another 190 people, so that Su Dingnan's bow battalion has 300 people. Dingnan, you can pick any person, and the three hundred bows in the treasury are all yours, so I have a request, let the bow battalion form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and in the future, we will defend Chicheng, and the bow and arrow battalion will play the greatest role. ”
"Owner, Dingnan should do his best!" Su Dingnan was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
If calculated in this way, Qin Wu has an army of 2,700 people in his hands, but most of them are new recruits, and his combat effectiveness is really not flattering.
"Dongjia, why do you want Dong Zhuang to be the commander of the army? I can't trust him. Seeing the crowd all disperse, Yang Xuan finally couldn't help it. The first few times, Yang Xuan was still angry.
"Lao Yang, do you think we can bring so many county soldiers?" Qin Forget looked at his first henchman, and followed it step by step, "Do you know how Dong Zhuang feeds these 500 county soldiers?" He used his own money and food to feed their family for three years. In the end, you ended up bankrupt, have you thought about it? How big is Dong Zhuang's prestige in their hearts? Those three hundred and fifty people are not an exaggeration to say that they are Dong Zhuang's private soldiers. ”
"Isn't that half of what Yin Xian and them have taken away?" Yang Xuan was very unimpressed.
"That's right, I was pulled away a little and a half. But that is in the case of hunger, and people are not rational in a state of hunger. Didn't you see what the results were last night? Dong Zhuang's words, the 300 county soldiers in the barracks did not step out of the barracks. Nearly 100 county soldiers of the Yin family directly turned against the water, that is, there were dozens of diehards at the city gate. So Yang Xuan, we can't compare to this kind of appeal anyway. If others can't adjust them, neither can we. Speaking of this, Qin Forget smiled bitterly, with his understanding of Dong Zhuang, Dong Zhuang should not be good, but he was afraid that his subordinates would do something with strong soldiers and strong horses. Now all he can do is trust Dong Zhuang. This feeling of pinning hopes on others is very bad.
"Isn't the owner afraid of Dong Zhuang making trouble?" Yang Xuan's words were a bit striking, there was no way, who wanted him to dislike Dong Zhuang.
"He won't, he's a smart man, he knows that with the strength of either of us, he is not Huang Ling's opponent, if he doesn't want to die, he won't do anything irrational, and the same goes for Yin Xian and Wang Ming." Qin Forget said confidently.
"But if we don't break up and reorganize the county soldiers, their loyalty to Dong Zhuang will not dissipate at all, and I'm worried that there will be chaos after a long time." Yang Xuan continued to say worriedly.
"Now these are not the point, the point is that we have put Huang Ling together, I don't know what means he will use to retaliate against us." Qin Forget shook his head, "Huang Ling is determined to win Chicheng, and now that Chicheng has changed to those of us who he doesn't like even more, it is estimated that he is so angry that he has the heart to kill now." ”
Hearing Qin Forget say this, Yang Xuan laughed all of a sudden, "That fat man has to be angry, the owner is right, we can't have any internal problems now, otherwise we have to be broken one by one." ”
"That's it, take your time with other things." Seeing that he had persuaded Yang Xuan, Qin Forget nodded.
