"Keep an eye on these people, if someone is really not afraid of death and dares to mess around, then cut it first and then play it." Li Xiao looked at the snakes in Baekje, Wuzhen Prefecture, who seemed to be leaving, and let out a disdainful sneer.

In the face of absolute strength, no intrigue will work.

Li Xiao is not only the hundreds of people in the city now, but also the 40,000 generals of the Eastern Expedition Navy Division of Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang behind him, and even the Silla people not far away can be used.

As Wuzhen Prefecture in the rear, no one can turn the sky.

"How many people have applied after our recruitment list was released?" Li Xiao asked.

"Too many to count!" Liu Cong replied.

In fact, when the first time the list was recruited, many Baekje people were moved. After all, Li Xiao's conditions are good, slaves can be freed if they are successfully recruited, and they can be written off after the debts are successfully recruited. In the future, when you become a soldier, you will have food, food and shelter, and even a settling-in allowance and monthly money, although it is not much, but it is definitely much better than their current precarious days.

There were a lot of slaves in Wuzhen Prefecture, and there were also a lot of civilians who didn't have enough to eat.

They don't care what Baekje or Tang is in their eyes, they only have to live.

It's just that the prestige of the three national sand swallows was too strong before, and the death warning they took the lead issued made no one dare to apply.

And now, the three families have been destroyed, and the heads of the heads of the three families are still hanging on the head of the city.

No one dared to threaten them anymore.

Re-recruiting is naturally a cloud of applicants.

"If there are many people, the conditions cannot be relaxed, and the poor and slaves are preferred for recruitment, and then the young and able-bodied. The strong and strong of the Baekje aristocracy are not chosen, and the weak and sick are not chosen. ”

"Don't worry, we won't relax this standard."

"There are too many applicants, do we still only raise 3,000?"

"For the time being, let's raise three thousand first." Li Xiao nodded and said, "There are actually a lot of 3,000 people, a group of 10 people, a team of 50 people, a brigade of 100 people, a regiment of 200 people, and a battalion of 1,000 people." Three thousand men can be set up into three battalions, and the mercenary regiment can be used as instructors and temporary officers to train these people. ”

"No weapons?"

"Give each person a stick."

"At least one wooden gun per person, right?" Zhao Zhiman was speechless, one person gave a stick, so what is the use of such a soldier's training?

Li Xiao said, "I don't need them to attack the city and charge into battle, I only use them to maintain law and order." Next, it takes a lot of manpower to count the fields and register the population, and even more so, someone needs to deter them. Then the group will follow, and when these things are done, if these people behave well, then they can be awarded a spear. If you want to have a weapon to have, you have to fight for their loyalty. ”

Before taming these people, Li Xiao would not risk arming them.

3,000 people say that less is not a lot, even if there is only one wooden gun in each person, if you really want to make trouble, it will be very harmful. He Li Xiao only has about 200 people in his hands now, and the other hundreds of people are still temporarily borrowed from Liu Jun and have to be returned.

After taming, let's take your time to weapon.

Three thousand state warriors were soon recruited.

There were too many people who signed up, but the state government only chose 3,000.

The people in charge of the selection are all people from the mercenary group, all of them are old oilers, but the eye for picking people is very good. They not only picked those poor slaves and those who were strong and strong according to Li Xiao's standards, but also those who were bold and brave.

To put it bluntly, it is to pick those who are brave and ruthless, in the words of these guys, since it is a recruitment, whether it is a recruitment of government soldiers or a village bravery, it must be able to fight.

If you recruit a group of honest guys, you can't beat a fart with three sticks, it's useful. Such people often really go to the battlefield and can't even hold the first round.

Those bloody guys are often the ones who are really explosive.

Although most of these people are, they think they are not afraid. No matter how hard the thorn is, it still stabs them?

Which of these mercenaries has not been an outlaw?

Rangers, swordsmen, ringing horses, green forests, water thieves, and even murder fugitives, there are few people who are easy to get along with. No matter how prickly they are, they are also sure that they can be tame and obedient.

Zhao Zhiman was awarded the position of a military envoy by Li Xiao, which was not an official position of the Tang Dynasty. This position was used by Li Xiao, in fact, it was not until the middle and late Tang Dynasty that this position was not until the middle and late Tang Dynasty, which was the position of the confidant generals of those marshals in the later Tang Dynasty feudal town division era, responsible for the management of the yamen.

These 3,000 soldiers and horses, the official name is Wuzhenzhou Xiangyong.

Xiang Yong is a local militia, not a formal government soldier.

Therefore, Li Xiao is very convenient to manage, and there are not so many cumbersome procedures.

He, the assassin of the history, is naturally the commander-in-chief of this township warrior, and he asked Zhao Zhiman to be the commander of the soldiers and horses before the ya.

It is divided into three battalions, each with 1,000 people, and a soldier and horse envoy in the battalion. The battalion consists of a regiment, a regiment of 200 people, and a brigade of 100 people. The regiment has a commander, the brigade has a head, the team has a team, and the gang has a commander.

This command system did not adopt the government soldier military system, but it was actually to avoid some troubles, after all, these 3,000 people were just village warriors.

From the front of the ya, all the soldiers and horses are known to the heads of the capital and the team, but they are all served by mercenaries, and none of them are officials, of course, it is not good to use the official position of the government soldiers.

Liu Jun felt that Li Xiao was a little redundant to engage in these village warriors, and the people of Baekje couldn't believe it, and they didn't give weapons but only a stick, so what was the use of this group of stick troops?

Although he also persuaded Li Xiao, he couldn't persuade Li Xiao to make up his mind.

Of course, Li Xiao also knew that Su Xue's soldiers were not far away now, but in the future, as the battle line moved forward, the soldiers of the second general Xue Su would be farther and farther away from him, and Wu Zhenzhou would completely become a big rear.

At that time, a void area of force will be formed here, and if he doesn't have some of his own weapons, then he Li Xiao's assassin history will really be difficult to be.

"After a little, there is a letter."

A guard came to report.

"Where's the letter?"

"There are two letters, one is from Fang Zhou, and it is a letter from Xue Dudu. There is also a letter sent from Tamna Island, from Chang'an. ”

"Let's read Xue Shuai's letter first." Li Xiaodao.

Xue Rengui's letter was simple, mainly saying that Li Xiao was very bold, and he actually took advantage of his and Su Lie's absence to privately make the decision to sell out the spoils of their Eastern Expeditionary Sailors. Of course, this is just a joke, in fact, Xue Rengui appreciates Li Xiao's behavior.

After all, more than 200,000 pieces were sold, which was too unexpected and a big surprise. And not only did they sell it for money, but Li Xiao also brought them a large number of grain, grass, medicines, cloth, etc., which were in short supply at the front line. Xue Rengui said that he would not return to Wuzhen Prefecture for the time being, and that he would urge Jin Chunqiu to supply grain and grass, provide soldiers, and prepare to launch a new autumn offensive before the arrival of winter.

On the side of Wuzhenzhou, it was handed over to Li Xiao, the new assassin, to be responsible, and even on the side of Tamluo Island, Li Xiao, the economic envoy, was also responsible.

After reading it, Li Xiao smiled, as good as not making Xue Su Ershuai angry.

"Give me the letter from Chang'an."

Li Xiao opened the letter from Chang'an, but it was a letter from Sun Wuji, the chief teacher. In the letter, the eldest grandson Wuji told him the latest trends in Chang'an City, such as the emperor has negotiated with the prime ministers to transfer him back to Chang'an to serve as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and then let him supervise the construction of Daming Palace.

It is said that the will has been prepared, and it will be sent to Wuzhenzhou City in the near future.

Closing the letter, Li Xiao fell silent. I just opened up a little situation here, why is this Li Zhi so tossed.

Do you really want to return to Chang'an again?
