Chapter 344: Militia Expansion
Li Mushui and Chen Datong hurried to the county seat together, and to their surprise, they met several old brothers from the guard battalion in the county seat, and their purpose was the same as their own.
Not only their county, but almost every county in Liaodong is like this.
No one thought that the people would have such enthusiasm, not only to send their children to the battlefield, but also to stand up without hesitation, ready to advance and retreat with Ye Chen, and face the Huns together.
But it's understandable that most of them have suffered a lot in the past, and now they are just improving, and the enemy is coming to destroy them, which they absolutely cannot tolerate.
When Ye Chen received the news, he was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the people of Liaodong to react like this, which was greatly unexpected to him, but it was a good thing after all.
Ye Chen ordered that the militia continue to expand, and the scale of expansion is still relatively large, but the conditions have changed, Ye Chen asked that after the recruitment is full of normal maintenance of village security, the militia needs to develop to a younger age, even teenagers are also included in the scope of training.
Today's guard battalion group is still very young, and it will be more than ten years before they retire, but the expansion of the guard battalion in the future is a must, prepare in advance at this time, once the expansion begins, Ye Chen will have soldiers who have been trained for several years to use it directly.
Now he is only a teenager, but after a few years of training, he is a strong young man in his early twenties, plus he has been training for several years, he can directly skip the recruit training and directly enter the main force of the escort battalion.
Now that Emperor Han Ling is about to finish, the great era after that is about to come, so Ye Chen began to deliberately train reserve personnel, Ye Chen has always hoped that his military academy can be established, but he has never had a good candidate to take charge of the affairs of the military academy.
And Ye Chen doesn't understand the operation of the military school, in addition to teaching them basic tactics, the military school should also teach them to lead soldiers, the art of war, marching, enemy situation, camping, etc., there are too many to teach, but Ye Chen has no talent who can teach these.
Whether it is Tai Shici, Zhao Yun or Guan Yu, they don't have this ability, they are all fierce generals, and it is no problem to charge into battle, teach them martial arts, teach them some basic things, but there is no way to do anything else.
However, Ye Chen felt that a non-commissioned officer school should be formed first, and it was no problem for the soldiers to be taught to be captains, chiefs, etc., because these people only needed to command the operations of one squad and one team, but they were very important.
With the establishment of non-commissioned officer schools, as long as there are qualified non-commissioned officers, then the army can rapidly expand and quickly form combat effectiveness.
Ye Chen included the formation of a non-commissioned officer school in his agenda, and began to prepare for it after this battle.
Let's not talk about the non-commissioned officer school, let's just say that when Ye Chen decided to expand the militia organization, the entire Liaodong was lively.
First, in order to protect their homes, the second is that in Liaodong, the status of soldiers is very high, not only there are various preferential tilts, such as the limited distribution of cattle, but also the distribution of land, rent reduction, etc., and a very important point is that being a soldier in Liaodong is an honor, and the social status is very high.
Unlike other places, being a soldier is a gangster, that is, eating with a mouth, being a soldier in Liaodong is to support a family and raise a family, and the soldiers in Liaodong have a very good reputation and are real soldiers.
As long as there is one soldier in the family, then the whole family can live very well, and will be respected by the neighbors, even those who are officials, they must be very polite to see them.
Generous treatment, honor, respect, etc., add up, and it is natural for the people to enthusiastically join the army.
When the villages received the news, they sent their children to the training ground for the militia instructors to choose.
"Old Song, your kid is only ten years old, how can you join in the fun."
"Hey, isn't your dog a year older, you see, although my baby is one year younger, she is not smaller than your child. But you treat your baby as a treasure, how can you bear to send it to suffer, and you will have to go to the battlefield in the future. ”
"Hehe, Old Song, I've heard early on that teenagers can also receive training this time, but there are conditions for being drafted in the future, that is, they must be at least eighteen years old and receive no less than one year of training. If my baby is selected, it will have to be trained for seven or eight years. After two or three years of training in our escort camp, we have beaten all invincible opponents, and after seven or eight years of training, we are still afraid of a ball. ”
"As far as you are well-informed, now all the villages have posted notices, and my son is still a student in the school, and he knows every word."
"Alright, quiet." When everyone was still discussing the new policy in Liaodong, the instructor roared.
"I'll start with one thing." The instructor looked around as he said this, and saw that everyone was looking at him nervously, and then continued.
"There is an order from above, all the children who study in the school are not allowed to sign up here, and the school also organizes training and trains directly in the school, so bring these children back."
"What school still teaches this?"
"Who are the instructors in the Academy? Is it also from the escort battalion? ”
......
The people began to be lively, and they all talked about it, they thought that the school was a sacred place, and being a soldier in other places was Qiu Ba, which was a lowly profession, so no one thought that the school would also train.
"Excuse me, instructor, is this true, what is the difference between this academy training and the training here?"
"Of course it's different, the academy has always been very important to the lord, so he will definitely invite good instructors to go, I heard that several are active guard battalions, and the lord seems to be interested in setting up a special academy for training soldiers."
"What, Lord Ye wants to set up a special academy for training soldiers? This training soldier also needs a school. ”
Many people don't understand, the soldiers can't connect with the academy at all, this span is too big.
"That's right, the academy specially established by the lord, after coming out of the academy, he is directly an officer, and the outstanding one is directly the captain."
These people are not calm, they know that there are many officials who can be officials from the school, because many graduates of the senior school have become "officials" in various places, although they are all petty officials, so the people are very willing to send their children to the school.
In their opinion, it is a very honorable thing to enter the guard battalion as well as being an officer, and now the academy has also set up a special training for soldiers, and they can also become officials directly after they come out.
The people did not hesitate, and hurriedly took their children to the school, they had to determine whether it was true or not, and if it was, they would also let the children be trained if they said anything.
Many people left in a hurry with their children, and the next step was the normal militia selection, first of all, the older ones were removed, and then most of them used the ordinary recruitment method of the guard battalion, that is, long-distance running, and only after passing the long-distance running will they enter the next project.
Liaodong is very lively, the selection of militia in each village has become a major program in the village, the old and young in the village come to watch, someone has passed a pass, then the family will cheer, if it is brushed down, then the family will beat their chests.
