In Dong Zhuo's barracks, Dong Zhuo, Guo Yan, and others inspected their own troops, and they had to have a full understanding of the construction of the troops.

Luoyang's understanding of Dong Zhuo is extremely incorrect.

Because in the official establishment, Dong Zhuo's number is less than 4,000 people, in order to fight against the republican army, they have temporarily increased the formal establishment of 3,000 people, if you count the miscellaneous soldiers, it is only a little more than 10,000, this is Dong Zhuo's official establishment. This also explains why the imperial court acquiesced to Dong Zhuo's large-scale expansion.

Because his formal establishment has not been expanded, most of the troops with other equipment, for example, more than 30,000 people, are logistics units, and they belong to the recruited people. This cannot be considered a regular military force.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo and others also grasped such a point, in the eyes of the Republican Army, they belong to the militia, there is no unified uniform, but there is a clear rank, although they only have the largest infantry battalion. But it's enough to organize these scattered people.

The advantages of firearms were brought into full play by them. It is convenient for large-scale arming and training, they are logistics units on the surface, but in fact, they are reserves that can fight, in the eyes of the Republican Army, they are militia teams that have received a certain amount of training, and they are such a team, and the regular army of the imperial court is much stronger.

"Good, good. Very good. Dong Zhuo looked at the militia-like soldiers. From time to time, Shan Shan waved his fist towards his chest.

"How are they eating?" Dong Zhuo asked an officer on the side.

"Back to the generals, they can all eat enough, two meals a day, and they can eat enough at one meal." One officer replied.

"Is that so?" Dong Zhuo asked a soldier.

"Yes, sir." The soldier replied. That's what the Republican Army officer taught, but Dong Zhuo frowned. Guo Yan on the side looked at it in his eyes. Obviously, Dong Zhuo is very dissatisfied with such a title, the reason is very simple, the general can only be specifically named, but the chief can be called a lot, which makes Dong Zhuo feel not very good.

However, Dong Zhuo only showed such a little bit on the surface. He was concerned about the current problem, the food of the soldiers.

The army formed by these civilians is very low-paid, and the regular troops are three meals a day, and they are two meals a day, and they have a symbolic salary of five dollars per month. The money is not much, but it greatly encourages the enthusiasm of those people, and they can get their hands on it, coupled with the extremely cruel military law, which makes them have a great sense of dependence on the army.

For food, being full and being able to do it for a long time is the most important thing they should pay attention to.

"Well, very good. Very good. Well done, we must let the soldiers have enough to eat. Eat a full meal. Dong Zhuo said. Dong Zhuo rose up from the grassroots level, he knew very well what those soldiers needed, and he was also able to inspire the will to fight from these most urgent things.

Most of his soldiers came from Liangzhou, and some came from the Guanzhong region. To a certain extent, the people were arrested. But being able to eat enough is also a blessing in disguise.

Eating may seem like a trivial matter to those court officials, but in Dong Zhuo's view, eating a full meal is the best encouragement for soldiers who have been in poverty for a long time, and more often than not, so that they can have other desires, and these desires are combat effectiveness.

Because he knew that only by feeding those low-level soldiers would they follow their generals to do many, many things, that is, to make them rebel against the entire court, and they would do it. To them, the court is hunger. And with him Dong Zhuo, you can eat a full meal. With enough to eat, they can do many, many things.

A general who can feed them enough to make them follow, this is what they should be most concerned about. The soldiers' ideas are so simple, and Dong Zhuo has grasped such a point, for him, it is easy and easy, because many things can be done, this is the idea of action, he can say, a bastard, but such a bastard is enough to have a great charm to do such a thing, and this is the most advantageous point for them.

Dong Zhuo relied on such simple personality charm to achieve such a point.

"That's a big guy." A sergeant sent in by the IRA said this to his companion, a sergeant.

"Yes, a big shot indeed. Be able to feed the soldiers, and then tell the soldiers that if they follow him, they will always have a full stomach, not only to eat well, but also to eat well, eat meat, and women, have money, and their children and grandchildren can live better. The sergeant looked at it and said.

"Isn't this different from us?" The sergeant said with a wave of his arms.

"Oh. Oh my God. The sergeant looked at the sergeant.

"You're comparing us to them?" The sergeant looked at the sergeant and asked.

"Isn't it?" The sergeant asked the sergeant, puzzled.

"No, we still have the soul, we still have the will to fight, we still have the fighting spirit, at least we know what we are fighting for. And more poor people are no longer poor, and our children and grandchildren are better, in order to stop this damned war, for the sake of the oppressed, to rise. Get rich. The court took everything we had. We're just coming back. And they, they are a group of thugs, following Dong Zhuo to beat the court to Luoyang, I think, they can do such things without hesitation. Believe me, they will definitely do it, because now, all they think about is what they get, and there is no direct difference between them and the beast. The sergeant said. The sergeant nodded, he didn't know what to say, but he felt that what the sergeant said made sense.

Dong Zhuo is motivating his soldiers with wildness, while the Republican Army is encouraging their soldiers with a sense of responsibility and honor, and there is a big gap in the spiritual realm.

West Park New Army.

"The training of the soldiers is very fruitful, and their combat enthusiasm is very good, but the number of them is a little smaller." Xi Zhicai said that a team of only more than 800 people does not seem to play a big role. Xi Zhicai suggested several times to lower the standard and raise the number of people, but Cao Cao just disagreed, because he insisted on taking the line of elite soldiers.

"There are not many soldiers, but the essence." Cao Cao really said.

"This. Although the number of Dong Zhuo's army shows that there are only 10,000 people, in fact, those people are also counted, if this is really the case, it will exceed more than 30,000 people, this is a very large military force, and he also has an artillery battalion, and the actual number and quality of artillery far exceed ours. At least we can't be worse than them, and I think that, in the right circumstances, some artillery can be equipped. Xi Zhicai suggested this.

"Hmm." Cao Cao just hummed for a moment, and spent a lot of money. Buying artillery, training artillerymen, all of this costs money.

"That kid Cao Ang sent some letters, and on the letters, he wrote a lot of his own experiences and experiences, and he saw a lot of different places." Cao Cao said at this time.

In the letter, he emphatically believed that the education or schools carried out by the Republican Army were very good, and that we should also do the same to develop a variety of schools, such as craftsmen, musical instruments, iron smelting, and military schools. It's hard to expand all at once. Cao Cao said.

"The advantages of the IRA are many, such as their military reforms. It's very good, 800 people, I feel struggling, and the Republican Army, when mobilized, can exceed 200,000 troops, which is quite terrifying, but that's it, they still disarm more than 120,000 people, which is a big deal. Moreover, they are constantly reforming the military system, and I think that the practice of supporting officers and non-commissioned officers in peacetime is very good, and to a certain extent, they have solved a lot of burdens, and their pressure is very good. This is a very useful reference for us. Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao from a series of dynamics of the Republican Army. Knowing the development of the situation, Cao Cao knew what he had to do through comparison.

He found that the Republican Army had a very good way of supporting officers and sergeants, because they were all elites in battle, and with them, there was a backbone. As long as some additional soldiers are trained in a relatively short period of time, a team can be rapidly expanded, and Cao Cao very much agrees with this approach. The reason is simple.

A balance has been struck between the professionalism of professional soldiers and the large number of additional soldiers, and this balance has also reached a certain balance point with military spending. The mobilization capacity of war is very great and very advantageous.

"What do you mean?" Xi Zhicai asked puzzled.

"Let's build a school to support officers, non-commissioned officers. The matter of expanding the number of troops is not capable for the time being, and the timing is not good, so when there is a chance, we will make such preparations in advance, which can be regarded as a good choice. Cao Cao said this completely out of desperation, because he simply did not have independent financial resources to support the development of his army, and this weak army was completely detached from the financial support of this huge empire.

His ideals are extremely unrealistically based on such a foundation, and under such circumstances, they simply cannot achieve such a situation.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Xi Zhicai said.

Xi Zhicai knows very well that the key to the expansion of the army lies in financial support, but unfortunately, they do not have these foundations at all. This is the hardest part of them.
