146 Military reform

……

"Gong Ying's death ......"

Several soldiers who witnessed Gong Qi being dragged into the shield wall immediately roared in shock.

With this roar, Gong Qi's subordinates, who were all supported by blood and bravery, immediately lost their morale, and ran to the rear in a panic, and the originally high morale turned into fear at this moment.

"Press it ......"

Luo Jinghui did not stop advancing because the enemy army broke and fled, he wanted to expand the results of the battle even more, and completely defeat these thousands of enemy troops in order to implement the next strategy

"Drink! Drink! Drink! ”

The tall shield wall was still moving slowly, and the sound of neat shouts continued to echo in the canyon, making the enemy troops fleeing in front of them even more frightened, and many of them rolled into the pit before fleeing, and then were trampled to death by countless soles of their feet......

"It's not good, the whole army is on alert, don't let them approach ......"

Du Wu and the others, who had been guarding the rear and did not move, saw that Gong Qi's remnants were rushing towards their battalion headquarters in a panic, and immediately ordered a formation to wait solemnly, but the arrows falling above their heads had to make them afraid of their heads and tails, unable to concentrate on dealing with the rout's charging formation.

"Get out of the way!"

Several red-eyed Gong soldiers roared angrily at their colleagues in front of them, and seeing that they were still holding guns to meet each other, they immediately raised the blades in their hands and swung them fiercely, and suddenly there was a burst of soldiers and cannibalism......

Because of the leadership of these routs, the deserters who had originally had scruples also raised their blades and frantically pounced on Du Wu's army formation, and the two soldiers who came to attack at night were completely chaotic for a while.

"Very good......" Wu Jinying, who was secretly paying close attention to all this, saw this scene with a cruel smile on his face.

"Command to go down and light the fire immediately, and order the second battalion Lu Su to prepare for battle immediately!"

"Obey~"

After the guards left, Wu Zhenying looked at the chaotic enemy troops in the gorge, and the cruel smile on his face became even stronger.

……

"Lord Commander, I just heard that the subsidy and pension for the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion under your command is extremely heavy, and the death of an ordinary soldier is as high as 1,000 taels of silver, which is not counting other subsidies.

Although this move can keep the soldiers high, I don't think that it will be inappropriate to go on like this in the long run.

Imagine that once you control the real power of the border army, the soldiers and horses in your hands will definitely be several times that of now, and the casualties in the future war with Hunu will definitely increase greatly, which will cause you a lot of burden. ”

In the Wanpingcheng General's Mansion, while Ye Yin and Liu Ce discussed the situation in Youzhou, they also raised the disadvantages of the high pension subsidy of the Jingwei Battalion in a timely manner, that is, it was too high, high enough to make a dynasty show signs of bankruptcy.

Liu Ce sighed: "In the past, when the military governor raised troops in Heyuan, he set up this rule, no matter how difficult it is, I must be kind to these brothers who were born and died on the battlefield with me, and this military governor also knows that the pressure is huge, but if I break my trust and reduce these treatments, I am afraid that they will be cold......"

Hearing this, Ye Yin shook off the Buddhist beads in his hand and said to Liu Ce: "The military governor is so sympathetic to the soldiers and their families, isn't it admiration in the heart, but what about the military governor after controlling the entire Far Eastern Army in the future?" Imagine that if you die a thousand soldiers in battle, you will have to pay millions of silver, and 10,000 is tens of millions.

This will cause a great burden on the development of the general's rule, but he is by no means a ruthless person, but for the sake of the situation after the military governor obtains military power in the Far East in the future, he also asks the military governor to think twice. ”

Liu Ce's eyes were light, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head: "Ye Gongzi said this, how can this military governor not know, but you should also understand that once the standard is lowered, even if the soldiers don't say anything, they will definitely have something in their hearts, after all, human nature is like this, when the things you get are suddenly lost, that kind of gap is not something that anyone can understand.

The military governor knows that the core of many people's evaluation of me is nothing more than arrogance, brutality and unkindness, and these military governors don't care, this military governor only needs to know that he must treat the soldiers and civilians under his rule well. ”

Ye Yin's eyes closed when he heard this, gently twisted the Buddha beads a few times, and then said: "Lord Commander, don't you have an idea, maybe you can not only keep the original treatment of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion unchanged, or even a little higher, but also convince the rest of the border soldiers." ”

Liu Ce's eyes lit up, and he said strangely: "Please also ask Ye Gongzi to say ...... clearly"

Ye Yin said: "As the military governor said, if the original treatment of the soldiers is lowered, it will inevitably cause unhappiness, and even cause some unpredictable changes, so it is recommended that in addition to the treatment of the Jingwei battalion, the usual treatment of the remaining sergeants will be at most 30% higher!" ”

Liu Ce frowned when he heard this, and said, "But in this way, wouldn't the other military officers and soldiers be dissatisfied?" ”

Ye Yin said: "Lord Commander, please don't listen before continuing, the treatment of the soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion remains unchanged or even increases, and there is a price to pay, that is, they must serve for life until they are old." ”

When Liu Ce heard this, he nodded and said to Ye Yin, "Go on." ”

Ye Yin said: "And the conditions for joining the Jingwei Battalion must also be more stringent, take the current situation as an example, the Jingwei Battalion has a total of more than 22,000 units, so take these 22,000 people as an example, if the number of Jingwei Battalion is fixed in this range in the future, unless there are killed or retired, then select and supplement from the soldiers with outstanding achievements in the rest of the departments."

As for the rest of the departments, they do not think that the service year is limited to three years, and if they want to enter the Jingwei battalion and enjoy higher treatment, they must continue to serve in the army and make meritorious contributions, so that they can not only eliminate their dissatisfaction with their treatment, but also select outstanding soldiers from among these people as reserves.

The Great Zhou has always been very mean to the soldiers since Renzu Weiyu, and the military membership is five years of military service on the surface, but in fact, this period has been extended indefinitely, and the corruption and deduction of military salaries in the army have become a kind of atmosphere, and over time it has led to complaints among the soldiers in various places.

Don't you know that the killing methods of the military governor will completely kill this unhealthy trend, and give the border army officers and men a refreshing environment for joining the army, so how can those border soldiers complain that their treatment is not as good as that of the Jingwei battalion?

And the military governor has made it clear that the capable are in power, presumably they must have something in their hearts, I wonder how much truth the military governor thinks is not what he said? ”

After listening to Ye Yin's words, Liu Ce had to admire Ye Yin's quick thinking, and he solved the problem of his inner troubles at once.

And he also drew some other enlightenment from it, after all, the elite army policy that he has always pursued has made his Jingwei battalion combat power remarkable, but as the enemy becomes stronger and stronger, and the war scene he faces is getting bigger and bigger, he gradually feels that the pressure he needs to face is also greater than ever.

The Yuanzhou Governor's Mansion and his entourage let him see the arrogance of the Mengluo people, but he had to admit that they did have the capital to show off their might.

With the gradual changes in the situation in the Far East, the Jingwei Battalion should also slowly change from tactical conquest to strategic deterrence as the core purpose, and the main enemy is still the soldiers of the border armies in various places, but these border soldiers are currently just a scattered sand, and they need to solidify themselves to burst out the combat effectiveness they should have.

They don't need everyone to have the same unyielding will and combat effectiveness as the Jingwei Battalion, as long as they can have half of them, it will be enough.

Moreover, for the sake of the long-term, the Jingwei Battalion may be the foundation for training generals......

After a long time, Liu Ce got up and bowed slightly to Ye Yin: "Ye Gongzi, your suggestion is very good, this military governor has accepted it!" ”

Ye Yin replied lightly: "To be accepted by the military governor is not talented, but it is really a sincere fear, and the specific matters can only be decided when the situation in Youzhou is stable......

"Hmm~" Liu Ce groaned softly when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought.

Ye Yin asked, "Is the military governor worried about the Battle of Changyang?" ”

Liu Ce shook his head: "Changyang's rebel army is already a turtle in an urn, there is no need to worry, this military governor is thinking about Dingzhou now, Xu Wenjing has been leaving Jizhou for almost a month, I don't know how he handled it......"

Ye Yin thought for a while and said: "With the ability of the military division, I don't think that I am nine out of ten. ”

"I hope so......" Liu Ce nodded, then turned around and asked, "Young Master Ye, this military governor wants to ask you about someone." ”

Ye Yin said: "Military Governor, please speak." ”

Liu Ce said: "Shangguan Yan." ”

"Well......" As soon as Ye Yin heard this name, he suddenly stopped with his hand twisting the Buddha beads, and showed a look of surprise on his flat face.

"What's wrong? Ye Gongzi? Liu Ce couldn't help but ask when he saw Ye Yin's appearance.

Ye Yin's chest continued to rise and fall, and after trying to restrain his emotions, he said to Liu Ce: "How did the military governor know this name? ”

Liu Ce said: "The news from the Intelligence Department said that Dingzhou has passed away, and Shangguan Hong's second son has returned from a trip, and I heard that this person used to be your classmate, and he suddenly returned to Dingzhou at this time, and this military governor wants to understand with you about this person's personality?" ”

A trace of sweat appeared on Ye Yin's forehead, and then he closed his eyes and said to Liu Ce: "Lord Military Governor, this Shangguan Yan, he is an unpredictable person, or ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Yin's eyes suddenly opened: "It's an extremely dangerous person!" ”
