Chapter II: Expansion of the Army

As the saying goes: only if you have a strong force can you deter your opponent and exchange for a stable and peaceful environment.

Therefore, while the land reform in eastern Liaodong has achieved tremendous results, Wang Tianjie is also stepping up military reform.

And the best way to do this as quickly as possible is to expand the army and build a huge and extremely effective army!

Wang Tianjie ordered Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals to train their soldiers as soon as possible, and at the same time began to expand the army. Due to the continuous construction of the army some time ago, the army has not been expanded, and now the regular army is about 15,000, while the reserve force is still only more than 30,000, and the total number of troops is only 50,000.

If the enemy comes to attack, the only real use that can be sent is only those 15,000 soldiers, and the more than 30,000 reserve fighters have no real combat experience against the enemy, and they can only sacrifice in vain.

More than 10,000 Israeli fighters were not enough to resist a large-scale invasion by foreign enemies. Although Liaodong seems to be far away from the spread of war now, it is not the case, because there are still a large number of enemies around it. For example, the huge threat of the Hun cavalry on the Mongolian steppe with strong attack power, and the existence of villains like Liu Yu around him, if he takes advantage of his defense, he will not be able to bear it now, not to mention the potential threat of the more powerful Yuan Shao behind him.

** once said: "Out of the barrel of a gun comes the regime!" ”。 Only when our own strength is strong can we not be invaded by foreign enemies, can we ensure our own security, and can we win more precious time for our own development.

Therefore, the expansion of the army is imperative.

"Folks, although we are now far away from the impact of war, it does not mean that we can live a stable and happy life. There are still many enemies all around us who are looking at us, and there are many who are angry at us and want to destroy our good life. Folks, can we say yes? The soldiers held the speech drafted by Wang Tianjie and propagated loudly.

The people have gone through a lot of hardships to finally live a stable life again, not to mention that they are about to become the "masters" of the land. This is a great thing that I couldn't think of before, but can it be destroyed?

At that moment, the people were all indignant and angry: "No, resolutely can't!" ”

"Then we must take up arms ourselves in order to defend our hard-won gains, to defend our homes, and to protect our families from abuse." The soldiers continued to speak loudly.

"That's right! Pick up your weapons and defend your homeland! ……。 The people shouted.

"Good! Now that our lord is preparing to expand the army, strong adult men who are willing to join the army, please come here and sign up!

We really want you to be one of us! The fighters inspired.

"I, I would have been willing to join the army for a long time."

"I, I'm willing to participate."

"Me."

"And me." ……。

The common people know very well how hard-won such achievements are, and in order to defend this hard-won achievements and defend their homeland, the people have all actively joined the army.

"Folks, don't squeeze, don't squeeze! Right...! Line up, come one by one, everyone has a chance! "The soldiers at the registration point saw the almost crazy enthusiasm of the people to join the army, and they had to come forward to maintain order.

As long as they meet the criteria for joining the army, almost all of them will sign up, and those who can't will mobilize the township to participate in the registration.

For a while, an unprecedented "army fever" once again blew up!

As a result, in just one week and through the initial screening, more than 100,000 adult men have joined the army.

This kind of enthusiasm made Guo Jia, Tian Yu and the others, including Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and the other generals, almost dumbfounded!

For this reason, Wang Tianjie had to end the registration early. Because, the number of people joining the army should not be too large, otherwise it will not only increase the burden on the government's finances, but also increase the burden of military service on the people.

In this case, it is a bit of a "snake to add to the snake" and the gains outweigh the losses!

Those adult men who have not been able to join the army will continue to exercise their bodies in the future, so as to improve their physical fitness, in the hope that they can pass the selection when they sign up for the army next time.

Over time, almost everyone has developed a good habit of exercising, which makes both men and women, young and old, very healthy, and also provides a large number of healthy labor force when Wang Tianjie vigorously develops the economy in the future. Due to the improvement of the overall quality of the people, it will also play an immeasurable role for Wang Tianjie in the process of conquering the hegemony and finally unifying China in the future!

In this regard, whenever Guo Jiatian Yu asked Wang Tianjie if he had foreseen such a scene, Wang Tianjie always smiled and did not answer, which made Guo Jia and them feel that Wang Tianjie was unfathomable!

Without further ado.

Let's talk about the expansion of the army.

The total number of troops now increased to 150,000 in addition to the original 50,000. For this reason, Wang Tianjie disorganized the 150,000 soldiers and divided them into five armies, which were trained by Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba, and carried out military confrontation drills between the five armies on a regular or irregular basis to show the results of their respective training.

For this reason, Wang Tianjie also specially made a big winning pennant to reward the troops who won the first place in each military confrontation, and the pennant was worn by this unit and carried to Wang Tianjie in the hands of Wang Tianjie in the next military confrontation. If a unit can take first place three times in a row, the pennant will belong to that unit permanently.

The reason for doing so is not only to encourage them to compete with each other and make progress with each other, but more importantly, to cultivate the spirit of unity and the sense of honor of the entire unit, which is the necessary team quality for a unit to be invincible on the battlefield and even to turn things around in a passive and unfavorable situation.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are in full swing under the high-intensity and strict military training of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others.

And Wang Tianjie, Dian Wei and Guan Hai said something to the two of them from time to time on the high platform of the competition, and constantly paid attention to the training of the soldiers of the Five Armies.......
