0092: Disarmament
Before coming, Li Yi had already figured out how to deal with these people, after all, with a 12-year-long idle period, even a dragon among people like Lu Bu would turn into a mud worm, let alone these ordinary soldiers. So his idea is also very simple, just lay off all of them and recruit another group of new people.
It's just that after really seeing these people, coupled with those explanations on Wei Zhong's road, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy. Because these people are like this, not because they can't do it, but because of the fault of the imperial court. And after 12 years, there are still so many people who are still here, maybe they all have another livelihood, but they still stay here.
Especially, seeing those who looked at him with expectation, Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart. Most of these people are 3 or 40 years old, so why are they still here? Dawdle? Perhaps, but more, it may be a desire to change one's own destiny. After all, even if it is just a military commander or even a chief, many times it is much stronger than ordinary civilians.
"My lord." Seeing that Li Yi hadn't spoken, just quietly looking at these soldiers, Lu Bu quietly reminded. He vaguely guessed Li Yi's thoughts, so he was afraid that Li Yi would make some unwise moves because of this.
Chong Lu Bu nodded slightly, and Li Yi looked at everyone and said, "I am the new General Duliao, the champion Hou Li Yi!" You may or may not have heard of me, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I came here and intend to build the Duliao camp into the strongest army in the city! ”
"I know that some of you have had a very bad time in the past 12 years, because there is no war and there is no meritorious promotion, and some people think it is very good, because you can still make some living with military salaries. But I'm not going to say more, because the court is really a little ill-conceived about this matter. Li Yi looked around at everyone, and his tone became a little excited from the beginning, and became flat.
"I can tell you very directly that those of you who are over 25 years old will leave the Duliao camp, but since you have been able to stay here for the past 12 years, I will give you enough money and food, and at the same time, the county magistrate Wei will also help you find a suitable livelihood in the county, whether it is farming, grazing or others." Li Yi's tone was still very flat, although he saw that many people in the team became gloomy after hearing his words.
"And even those who are in line with the conditions have to be tested, the test is very simple, physical fitness, equestrianism, bows and arrows, long soldiers, short soldiers, what I need is an elite who can fight with the Hu people! And those who are not qualified can still only be eliminated. Li Yi kept talking, and it seemed that he couldn't see the crowd that was getting more and more commotionous at all.
"But you can rest assured that even if you are eliminated, the compensation I promised to those who left voluntarily will also be given to you. And those who stay, I will judge your treatment by your ability, to put it simply, as long as you show enough ability, the commander, the chief, and even the military commander or my Sima, you can be served! Li Yi's words immediately aroused the excitement of some people, and it was those who echoed the age.
Some of these people were temporarily inserted by Wei Zhong in order to maintain their numbers, and some of them were very young when they joined the Duliao camp. Although it had gone through a time that made them a little desperate, Li Yi now came to give them a glimmer of hope, although they still didn't know how difficult that test was.
"Stuff up!" Li Yi beckoned, and immediately more than a dozen people walked up carrying boxes and rice bags. Immediately, Li Yi looked at everyone and said again, "Those who are not in age and want to take the initiative to quit, come up and receive money and food." ”
Following Li Yi's words, the soldiers were silent for a moment, and finally stepped forward one by one. There was a hint of sadness on their faces, because no matter what the reason, they had come here anyway. And now, after so many years of desertion, a boss who seems to have a promising future finally comes, but they can only leave......
However, after seeing the amount of money and food that Li Yi had given them, the expressions on their faces finally disappeared and were replaced by excitement and excitement. Because this money and food is almost equal to the income they received from the two battles, it was a complete surprise for them. You must know that in their imagination, Li Yi's so-called compensation is at most several times the current monthly military salary.
It sounds like a lot, but it's only a part of the money and food that Li Yi took out from Wei Zhong. Speaking of which, Li Yi had to praise Wei Zhong's ability again, although he didn't know if he was talented, but to be able to do it to this extent, at least in Li Yi himself, it was absolutely difficult to do.
Not only has the approximate establishment of the Duliao camp been maintained, but a lot of money and grain have been saved, you must know that the imperial court itself has reduced the amount of money given to the Duliao camp.
After everyone had received the money and food, Li Yi looked at them and said again, "Although you don't have a chance to fight under my command, I will continue to recruit soldiers, if you want your children to join the army, you can give it a try." I don't dare say anything else, but here I am! They will get the best! ”
Hearing Li Yi's words, those who were about to leave were obviously moved. From the amount of money and food they received, they regarded Li Yi as a generous person, and although Li Yi's reputation was not said in other places now, it was definitely as loud as thunder in Bingzhou. Even if it's just a general treatment, there are not a few people who want to join him.
"Jun Hou, the source of troops in the Duliao camp can recruit troops from the entire state, but you need to say hello to Zhang Tingshi." Wei Zhong opened his mouth to remind.
"Thank you County Magistrate Wei for reminding me, I don't know if I can ask you to help deal with this matter?" Li Yi hurriedly said when he heard this. Now the more he looks at Wei Zhong, the more pleasing he becomes, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it. To be honest, if it weren't for Wei Zhong's help, if Li Yi wanted to take over the Duliao camp, God knows how much trouble he would encounter.
Because in addition to the basic duties and rights of General Duliao, he is completely blind to other affairs and knows nothing. And taking this disarmament alone, without Wei Zhong's help, Li Yi wouldn't even know how to settle these people, so he couldn't send them to Jiuyuan County, right?
"Sharing worries for the monarch is a matter for the lower officials." Wei Zhong responded respectfully.
Nodding, Li Yi immediately asked Lu Bu and the others to test the rest of the people, "Remember, you must be carefully selected, even if there is no one who passes, I don't need to fill the number!" ”
