Huo Bao listened to the affairs of the Jia family.

Knowing that Master Jia was seriously ill, Brother Jia Yan went back to serve the sick.

There is no way around it.

Give a dog a bad name and hang him.

Now is the era when filial piety is greater than heaven.

However, I haven't heard the news of the two brothers "returning to the sect", and there is still a lot of nonsense when I think about it.

It's Jia, Shi, and Xue who all showed their faces.

Let Huo Bao feel the meaning of the world of Red Mansions.

As for the Wang family, I don't know which Wang family the founding county uncle came from.

Jiangning Wang County Wei (now Wang Qianhu)'s house?

Or Huo Bao's Yue family, Wang Wu's family (now Chuzhou Duwei)'s family?

Gossip is gossip, and business is business.

Before entering Jinling Mansion to study, Huo Bao had to settle child soldiers.

On this day, at the invitation of Li Yuan, he went to the Jinling camp to inspect.

What he inspected was the "personal guard" that Uncle Zhen and Jia Yan mentioned before.

Two hundred and sixty people are the children of the gentry of Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Luzhou.

100 people in Hezhou, 100 people in Luzhou, and 60 people in Quyang County and Binjiang County in Chuzhou.

Recruited at the end of September and the beginning of October, he was nominally the personal guard of the young master of Chuzhou, but in fact he was the second batch of staff officers.

Of the three hundred recruited by the first batch of staff officers, only one hundred and forty remained.

The remaining 125 were transferred to logistical clerks and 35 were removed.

This second group of gentry children entered the boot camp for a month, and in addition to physical exercises, it was all kinds of discipline.

Today is the day they leave their new barracks.

There are literary exams and martial arts exams, which should be scored comprehensively.

"The physical fitness is not superior, but it is just reluctant, but the results of the literary examination are good!"

Li Yuan took a stack of exam papers and said to Huo Bao.

Huo Bao took out an exam paper and read it, and the tests on it were all the military training and military regulations of the Chuzhou Army.

The training of staff officers is different from that of other soldiers.

Soldiers are physically trained and literate, and staff officers are literate, and they study various military training and military regulations every day for half a day, as well as various case studies by the Supervision Department.

Because of the failure of the first batch of staff officers, Huo Bao lowered his expectations for the children of the gentry.

They are different from the outstanding ones who came out of the soldiers, they have studied the Four Books and the Five Classics, have their own ideological cognition, have the set of loyalty and patriotism in their minds, have the innocence of young people, and lack the vision and open-mindedness of adults.

In their hearts, it is not easy to recognize and accept the Chuzhou Army.

They lack loyalty, how can Huo Bao let them go down to do ideological work?

Staff officers who can really be used have to be selected from the grassroots soldiers.

In this way, these people have become chicken ribs.

Nowadays, there are few readers, so it's a pity that you don't need it, and it's not practical to use it.

Li Yuan saw Huo Bao's expression, and hurriedly said: "Master Bao, this batch of staff officers is different from the previous batch, in addition to training their bodies and learning these military rules for a month, the recruits also took them to the hard labor camp and the relief center......"

Half of the Jinling Forced Labor Camp is those minions who help the prefect exploit the localities, and half are the scum of the Chuzhou army who violate military regulations and are monitored.

The almshouse is filled with the elderly, the sick and the disabled among the homeless.

Every hard labor has a sin.

Every homeless person has a stomach full of bitter water.

For example, if it is erosive today, there are natural disasters and more man-made disasters.

Fifteen- and sixteen-year-olds have experienced the changes of the past two years, and they have their own feelings.

Li Yuan has been very attentive this month.

In May, he and Hou Xiaoming opened the Hangzhou Ordnance Road for the Chuzhou Army, and made great contributions, and later came to the top and became the third person under Huo Bao.

Later, he set up a staff battalion, which was his main business.

But there was Gao Yue's rebellion in the past, and the first batch of staff officers who did not become successful later, which really made him anxious.

Seeing that everyone is up, his side is no longer successful, this staff battalion can't sit still, and if he wants to retreat to the logistics battalion, he may not be able to do so.

The reason why these young masters and staff officers can't die for the Chuzhou army like soldiers is because their lives are too comfortable, and they can't empathize with this world.

If you know your shortcomings, you can make up for them.

Seeing Li Yuan's expectant look on his face, Huo Bao nodded and met this staff officer.

Two hundred and sixty teenagers, lined up on the school grounds.

Facing Huo Bao, they are curious, fearful, and more jealous and dissatisfied.

Huo Bao felt excited.

Even if Li Yuan made them suffer a little, it was not a desperate situation, and he couldn't make them empathize.

Li Yuan is still too immature.

No, it's because the direction and guidance I gave him before are wrong.

Such a young master soldier has no sense of belonging to the Chuzhou Army, let alone Huo Bao, a half-grown boy.

Perhaps in their eyes, the Huo family's father and son came from a vulgar background, but they were just lucky.

"If you pass the assessment, you will be charged to the guard camp!"

Huo Bao said to Li Yuan.

The left and right people were summoned in the name of "personal guards", and it was just the grace of the Chuzhou army to the local gentry.

Li Yuan was stunned: "Bao Ye ......"

Huo Bao didn't speak, and motioned for Li Yuan to follow.

Li Yuan looked worried, so this group of staff officers also failed?

He was a little at a loss, and there was uneasiness on his face.

Walking to the secluded place, Huo Baocai said: "It's not your fault, it's because I thought wrong before...... The staff officer went to Qu, so that the whole army worked together, and it was good, but if these young masters were born, could they really be integrated with the soldiers? When the time comes, the layman's fingers will only be disgusting! In the future, the 'personal guards' selected by the children of these gentry were only personal guards, and the staff officers were selected from the grassroots soldiers...... If it is a professional officer, it will be transferred to a staff officer and appointed at the same level. Qu Commander and below are transferred to staff officers, starting from Qu Staff Officers, and the remaining small leaders of various units are transferred to staff officers, which are appointed at the same level...... Staff officers are my eyes, ears and mouthpiece, and the most important thing is loyalty! ”

Li Yuan is round on the outside and square on the inside, extremely resilient, listening to what Huo Bao said bluntly, he also put away his previous frustration, and immediately said with fighting spirit: "The subordinates understand, and they will select staff officers from among the veterans!" Speaking of this, he silently calculated the number of child soldiers in his heart, and said: "The tentative number is five hundred, and it will be selected among the two departments of Commander Hou and Commander Qiu!" ”

As for Huo Bao's old department, he went to part of the firearms battalion, and the remaining troops were divided into two places, Shi San and Wu Yuan led half of them to Zhenjiang, in addition to assisting Monk Feng in attacking Zhenjiang, he was also responsible for the recruitment of troops in Zhenjiang Mansion, and he is still outside.

At this time, Hou Xiaoming, Qiu Wei, Zhu Qiang, Song Qianzhi and others got the news and came over.

Hou Xiaoming and Qiu Wei completed the conscription, and now they are all under the idea of this batch of recruits.

"Bao Ye, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, we can't be busy in vain? Can you follow the example of Quyang? ”

Qiu Wei's eyes lit up.

What's the matter with Quyang?

It was Deng Jian who intercepted 1,000 of the 23,000 Quyang soldiers according to their age and filled them into Huo Bao's child soldier camp.

Most of them were fifteen or sixteen half-grown teenagers, and the 1,000 Quyang soldiers and more than 90 black python soldiers became the original foundation of the child soldiers.

This three-government conscription, from the age of sixteen to forty-five.

Hundreds of thousands, according to the age of 18,000 people intercepted into the child barracks, no one will be picky.

Qiu Wei doesn't have that ambition yet, he wants to be on a par with the number of soldiers of several generals, but he just thinks that there are too many generals who don't have a difference in the total number of the three soldiers here, otherwise they can only be partial soldiers in the future, and they can't be the main force of the expedition.

Hou Xiaoming's eyes were shining, and he was also moved, but he didn't speak.

He was accustomed to taking Hobberg's will as his will.

Huo Bao did not answer: "The distribution of the soldiers is messy now, this batch of soldiers is not directly assigned to various departments, it must be uniformly drilled and deployed in wartime!" ”

Qiu Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

Hou Xiaoming was thoughtful.

Song Qianzhi couldn't help but worry: "Bao Ye, in this way, will it be that the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers?" ”

Huo Bao said: "No! In the end, the benefits of unifying combat power outweigh the disadvantages, otherwise my father would not have mentioned it. ”

This time it was Song Qianzhi who was stunned.

This kind of unification of military power is like a local general, shouldn't it be pushed on others?

said that it was the proposal of the master of the horse village or Master Lin, so that even if the general was dissatisfied, it was others who complained.

Why did the captain admit it directly?

This is inevitably too tactful, what if there is a rift between you and several generals because of this?

Huo Bao looked at Qiu Wei again and said: "Don't worry about the few soldiers who are called, as long as you have the ability, you will have to fight in the future!" ”

Qiu Wei realized it later.

The soldiers of the Chuzhou army are about to start dividing.

There is no clear explanation, but at the moment, the generals are not moving, and they should be everyone's descendants, but this number is also limited.

Such...... Is it a rainy day?

If Huo Wu said, take precautions?

No one is stupid, and it is uncomfortable to hide it.

Just a few people, what can't be honestly said.

When Huo Bao came back from the Jinling camp, he was called to the tea room.

In the tea room, in addition to Huo Wu, the owner of the horse village, Mr. Lin, Du Laoba, Monk Feng, Shui Jin, and Ma Juzi are all there.

The leader of the Chuzhou army, except for Deng Jian, who returned to Yangzhou to guard the town, everyone else was here.

Huo Bao came, and sat down under the water.

Huo Wu talked to everyone about the hundreds of thousands of recruits who were already in the Jinling camp: "Xiaobao's subordinates have recruited new soldiers, and these recruits are currently practicing in a unified manner...... There will be no distribution, and it will be uniformly dispatched during wartime, but the small leaders in it will have to draw people from your various departments to make skeletons! In the past, many people were promoted in Hezhou, Luzhou, and Taiping, and this time they also made meritorious contributions in Zhenjiang and Yangzhou...... Leave some behind, and the supernumeraries will be transferred to the new barracks to be a small leader......"

Speaking of this, his eyes looked at the faces of Monk Feng, Shui Jin, Ma Juzi, Huo Bao and others in turn: "Before we fought, everyone fought by themselves, and they fought in small counties, and when they went to places like the state capital and the capital city, the most fought was the tens of thousands of recruits in the camp of Chaohu Beiguan, and the strongest was the 40,000 defenders in Yangzhou, the previous time was okay, the other party was weak, and it couldn't withstand our impact, Yangzhou this time, it was also difficult...... In the future, in addition to this kind of land of one state and one county, there will be constant wars, and we can't go together when the mess and softness come! It's time to merge, the Chuzhou Army is the Chuzhou Army, and it is divided into 'Feng Family Soldiers', 'Ma Family Soldiers', 'Shui Family Soldiers', 'Huo Family Soldiers' or something, and they are easy to be broken one by one! ”

"This territory is fought by everyone together, we have no outsiders in this seat, if anyone says that they want to stand on their own, except for Jinling, the other six state capitals can be picked at will, even if they want Yangzhou, I Huo Wu will respond immediately...... But if everyone doesn't have the heart of self-reliance and wants to go to the end together, then our Chuzhou Army can only be the Chuzhou Army! ”
