(Thank you to the sky dragon, the male god of Mars, for the reward, thank you!) ）

On the outskirts of Zhangqiu.

Early in the morning there was a lot of fog.

The rising sun was obscured by the fog and emitted only a little white light.

In a flat open space under Changbai Mountain in the northern suburbs, teams of county soldiers are training.

In the early autumn morning, the county soldiers were running bareless, with two sandbags tied to their feet. You can't run too slowly, and those who fall behind will be beaten with sticks by the head of the sect on the side, but you can't run too fast, and you will be beaten if you run out of the team. You have to keep the same pace as the whole team.

Jia Runpu, who was one-armed in yellow, stood in the distance, watching the group of county soldiers run into the distance like a long snake.

"These rookies don't even have a team, it's too bad!"

Luo Cheng smiled, "It's because you're too demanding, they were still a group of farmers not long ago." How can I know so many rules, it's normal for my left and right feet to stretch out wrong. ”

"By the way, congratulations on becoming a captain!"

Lao Jia was a little proud, "It's just five hundred rookies, it's nothing." ”

Since the extermination of Zhishiro, the county commander Zhang Xutuo has strengthened the recruitment and training of the county soldiers, originally he set up twelve regiments of county soldiers in the county, but after this time, he expanded the scale of the county soldiers.

Originally, there was a regiment of county soldiers in a county, which basically kept a regiment of 200 people on battalion training and duty, and there were also 400 people on duty for training.

This time, the county soldiers were directly upgraded to a battalion of 500 people, and one battalion had jurisdiction over two regiments.

Lao Jia Ben was the regimental captain of the Zhangqiu County soldiers, and the Zhangqiu County soldiers were promoted from the regiment to the battalion, so he was directly promoted to the newly established captain.

"In order to respond to the arrangement of the county lord, I plan to set up five more township corps in the five townships of Zhangqiu, one in each township, and each regiment has jurisdiction over 200 township soldiers, training in leisure time, and if there are bandits, I will cooperate with our county soldiers to suppress bandits and catch thieves. Shicheng, you are the head catcher of Zhangqiu County, and you are the person valued by the county, how about you to be the captain of the Changbai Township Corps? ”

"Brother Jia, you're joking, the county soldiers are all nonsense in your eyes, let alone the township soldiers." Luo Cheng still knows some insiders, the so-called township corps, in fact, is not even a militia, after all, the county soldiers can be regarded as militia.

The county soldiers are also divided into several grades, such as those who are stationed in the county town, which must be elite, and among them, the county soldiers' personal guards are the best of the best, and the county soldiers of those counties are one level worse.

Now all townships also have to get township soldiers, in fact, it really feels like all the people are soldiers.

However, these village soldiers must be just pulling a shelf, asking for money or not, asking for weapons without weapons, what kind of climate can become, at most, they follow behind when catching thieves to transport some supplies, escort some prisoners or something.

However, Zhang Xutuo must have his intentions in doing this, Luo Cheng guessed that the most likely thing is to network the young and strong people in all counties and townships of Qi County and include them in the organization, so as to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, so as not to increase the possibility of civil revolt under the current situation.

"Come and help my brother, anyway, if you become a captain in this township, it won't affect you to be the head catcher of Zhangqiu." Lao Jia continued to persuade that the establishment of the township corps was the task above.

However, the county only asked the township corps to be set up in various places, but he did not give him any money or others, and he did not even give some weapons and equipment.

"How many grades are the township soldiers?"

The fourth child finally couldn't help but ask, "If Xiao Wu refuses to come, I can be the captain of this school." ”

Lao Jia just looked at him and didn't answer. Last time, the fourth child temporarily led a team to reconnoitre, but he almost sent away a team of people, and in the end it was Lao Jia who helped him fish it out, and he didn't worry about letting him come to the township corps for such a guy.

"The captain of the township soldier is just a name, but in fact, he has no rank and no rank, after all, the township soldier. I, the lieutenant of the county soldiers, said that he was in charge of 500 people, but in fact, he was only given a rank of ninth rank. Of course, our brother Luo is different, he is a hero who has suppressed thieves and destroyed bandits with Juncheng, so as long as you are willing to take charge of the Changbai Township Corps, I will definitely find a way to help you get one from Jiupin. ”

Luo Cheng slapped Lao Jia's chest on the packing ticket, but he was not moved at all, because he knew that it was impossible. Although the nine grades are low, the system of the Great Sui Dynasty is there, even if it is such a lowest-level official position, it has to be appointed by the Daxingcheng Imperial Court, and the local officials have no right at all, at most there is a right to recommend, but in fact, it is not very useful.

Before the Sui Dynasty, the north and the south were in turmoil, and the local assassins had great power and power, and many low-level officials were directly recommended or directly recruited and appointed by the assassins.

But after arriving in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, has been weakening local authority and strengthening centralized power. In today's Daye Tianzi, the power is tighter, the local government is separated, and there is no longer the slightest right to expropriate.

Even Lao Jia, an old subordinate who was originally from Jiupin, was promoted to Zhengjiu because of this meritorious service to suppress bandits.

"Lao Jia, this township corps is an empty name, there is nothing, how can you let me bring it?" Luo Cheng did not directly refuse.

"How is it an empty name? There must be people, 200 township soldiers, the county issued an order, let the county cooperate, you Changbai Township can still recruit 200 township soldiers. ”

"What can I do? You also know the current situation, the military service is heavy, a large number of young people are conscripted for service, and there are not many young people left in the family. ”

"Then you can recruit middle-aged men, sixteen to twenty years old, and they are all guys with great health." Lao Jia Dao.

"But in fact, most of the people recruited by your county soldiers are middle-aged men."

Lao Jia smiled helplessly, indeed, those county soldiers who were training and running under the mountain actually had a large number of middle-aged men of seventeen or eighteen years old.

There are not many young people left in the township.

"Fourteen or fifteen years old have actually grown up, and the training is also a good guy." Lao Jia said again.

Luo Cheng stared at Lao Jia and smiled without saying a word.

Give him 200 boys, what's the use?

If you really face the bandits, you can probably pee your pants in fright.

"Shicheng, you help my brother with this, pull up the township corps as soon as possible, this is the death order given to me by the county Cheng, he will come to Zhangqiu to personally inspect it in a month, if I have a county barracks here, the five township corps can't pull up, then the old brother I will have to eat the board, don't look at me I have been with the county for many years, but the county has always said the same. You can't die without help, can you? ”

"Brother Jia, you also did me a great favor last time and saved my brother, I should really help you with this favor. But if you say it's nothing, let me take a group of children, and then it's a shame for you. ”

"If you want anything, just say it, if my brother does it, I will help you get it, and you must help my brother support this field."

"To pull up the team, you must first have money and food. Even if it's just to help the teenagers, they usually have to train one or two. If you want to train, you have to have money and food, at least you have to eat and drink, and you have to have a place to live. Also, we have to have some weapons and equipment, or we can't do it with our bare hands, right? ”

Luo Cheng wrenched his fingers and counted with Lao Jia.

Lao Jia looked helpless.

If he really has money and food, why did he come to Luo Cheng to discuss.

"My brother has a hand in the war, but if you really want to talk about this, I really don't know how to start."

"Why don't I help Brother Jia come up with an idea?" Luo Cheng said with a smile.

"You say, you say, hurry up, my brother has been worried about this recently."
