Chapter 8 Recruitment
There is a huge difference in the treatment of soldiers of different ranks.
The treatment of a regular soldier can feed ten ordinary soldiers, and the treatment of an elite soldier can feed ten regular soldiers.
This is also the reason why there are not many regular soldiers and elite soldiers, the consumption is too high, when Yuan Shao led the land of the four continents, there were less than 5,000 euphorbia.
And Cao Cao until the Battle of Chibi, the tigers and leopards did not ride more than 10,000.
According to the standard of ordinary counties, in the absence of a major war, the permanent military strength of the county town is 2,000 ordinary soldiers, and the permanent military strength of the county town is 300 to 500 ordinary soldiers.
Liu Biao gave Liu Cong 300 regular soldiers, which is equivalent to allowing him to surpass the county in terms of strength!
What made Liu Cong even happier was that Liu Biao only gave him treatment, and the manpower allowed him to solve it by himself.
This meant that he could recruit on his own.
Of course, it is more troublesome to recruit troops by yourself than to directly lead the army in the county seat, which requires a series of troublesome things such as training, training, and appointing backbones.
But all this effort is not comparable to a return, and the troops he recruited by himself will be completely branded by him and become the troops that truly belong to him!
In this troubled world, only with a force that truly belongs to you can you have a foundation for yourself!
……
came out of Liu Biao's place, Liu Cong went to find Liu Wangzhi, this is Liu Biao's engagement, and everyone is in Nanyang County, Jingzhou.
In history, because of his straightforward advice, he was slandered by the people and killed by Liu Biao.
Liu Wangzhi had obviously received the news, received Liu Cong respectfully, and accepted Liu Cong's instructions.
With his cooperation, the news that Liu Cong was going to recruit troops quickly spread around Xiangyang City.
Liu Cong did not directly recruit regular soldiers, first, civilian regular soldiers are scarce, and with this ability, he has already joined the army, and it is difficult to recruit.
Second, the regular soldiers can only recruit three hundred, although the overall strength is good, but it cannot maximize the use of his resources.
Liu Cong changed the treatment of 300 regular soldiers into the treatment of 3,000 ordinary soldiers, and at the same time did not require the recruitment of ordinary soldiers, as long as they reached the limit of ordinary people.
But at the same time, he is innocent, has a good personality, and abides by rules and disciplines...... As soon as this standard came out, the entire Xiangyang City was boiling.
"Have you heard, the second son of Liu from the Assassin Mansion has recruited troops!"
"I've heard that the general soldier is treated, but as long as ordinary people are recruited, is this son stupid?"
"I don't know if it's stupid, I just know that it's a great thing for us!"
"That's right, the treatment of ordinary soldiers can make a family of five worry about food and clothing, if I can become a general soldier, my daughter-in-law and children will no longer be hungry!"
"So what are you waiting for, hurry up and sign up!"
……
Countless people who heard the news poured into the registration point, and in just one morning, nearly 1,000 qualified people joined the army.
Cai Fu.
White jade is a horse made of gold, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron.
This is a poem describing the four major families in the Dream of Red Mansions, but it is not too much to use to describe Jiafu.
As a top family in Jingzhou, the power of the Cai Mansion is monstrous, and the Cai Mansion is amazing.
"Xiangyang Old Records: Cai Mao" states: (Cai) Mao's house is on Cai Zhou, and the house is very good; The four walls are all made of bluestone, and there are hundreds of concubines, and there are forty or fifty other businesses.
In the interior of the palace-like manor, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a grim face was listening to the report of his subordinates, he was the head of the Cai family, Cai Mao.
"Is the second son really treating ordinary people as soldiers and recruiting ordinary people as soldiers?" Cai Mao asked.
"That's true."
The subordinates had a puzzled look on their faces, obviously unable to figure out the reason why Liu Cong did this.
"Hehe, don't think about it, the second son is a teenager, it seems that he is just bored in the house, and he just wants to come out to play!"
Cai Mao showed a smile on his face, he was not in a good mood in the past two days, the reason was the news from Mrs. Cai that Liu Cong wanted to be released.
For him, this is by no means a good thing, he wants to support Liu Cong to ascend to the throne, but it is by no means like Liu Cong becoming a wise saint.
All he wants is a puppet, a titular lord of Jingzhou, who can be used as a shield for the dead ghost when Cao Cao attacks.
Liu Cong only had two results when he was released, either he really did something and soared to the sky and became the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch.
Either they will lose their troops and lose their generals, and they will achieve nothing, and their prestige will be greatly damaged, and there will be no possibility of seizing the throne.
Neither of these results was in his interests, so after hearing the news of Mrs. Cai, he decided to stop the matter immediately.
didn't make a move before, just because he thought that Liu Biao should not let Liu Cong out, and since Liu Biao blocked him, he naturally didn't need to make a move.
But he didn't want to, Liu Biao really agreed, which made his heart full of MMP at the same time, and he immediately took action, preparing to go to the Assassin's Mansion to persuade Liu Biao.
Although Liu Biao had agreed, with his position and influence in Jingzhou, if he tried his best to stop it, even Liu Biao would be difficult to resist.
But just as he was about to go, he heard the new news of Liu Cong's recruitment, and seeing this almost joking recruitment, Cai Mao laughed.
There was a sudden hesitation in his heart, maybe he could not stop it, if he made a move, although he could let Liu Biao take back his life, but it would not be exempt from Liu Cong's tearing of his face.
This kind of naked interest relationship is not conducive to his control of Liu Cong in the future.
And how can this kind of army recruited by Liu Cong really establish meritorious deeds?
"Hehe, when a child grows up, he will always have some unrealistic thoughts, let him suffer a little more, and then he will listen to adults!"
Cai Mao sneered, turned around and went to the backyard to find a wife and concubine.
……
Bafang Wind and Rain Building, the largest literati club in Xiangyang City, is taken from the meaning of sitting in the quiet building and watching the wind and rain in all directions.
On the window seat, two white-robed scribes were sitting opposite each other.
A person on the left, with a face like a crown of jade, with a free demeanor, holding a feather fan, looked at the growing queue below through the window, and said in surprise: "Interesting, interesting, this second son's actions are really unexpected." ”
There is a person on the right, with sword eyebrows and a straight nose, wearing a long sword at his waist, although he is a literati, but he has the edge of a swordsman, and he smiled when he heard this: "It is interesting to be commented on by Brother Kong Ming, this second son is proud enough!" I heard that today is only thirteen years old, a young hero, admirable! ”
The feather fan scribe shook his head and smiled: "Yuan Zhi, don't laugh at me, I'm just a mountain and a wild villager, how can I be compared with this second son?"
Born noble, but do not avoid hardships and dangers, take precautions, and make contributions as soon as possible, whether it is the guidance of others, or the awakening of oneself, if you can do this, you are already a masterpiece.
And then it is easier said than done, not greedy for small profits, to establish its own foundation, and to do this, it can already be called a hero.
Although I can't see through the strategy of recruiting ordinary people with the treatment of ordinary soldiers, there must be a reason for it, but it is not enough for outsiders. ”
"Huh? It seems that Kong Ming has a very high opinion of this second son, even so, can he be tempted? The sword scribe said in surprise.
The lupine scribe was silent for a moment and sighed: "Although the intelligence is compelling, it is not the right time to be born, and the sky does not allow it, so it is useless!" ”
"Born at the wrong time? Hehe, I don't dare to agree with this, although there is a problem with armpit elbows, but there is also Liu Jingzhou's help, why can't he achieve hegemony? The Saber Scribe was equally silent for a moment, then retorted.
"Liu Jingzhou? Hehe! ”
It's just that the lupine scribe snorted coldly, and although he didn't say it directly, his expression showed extreme disdain!
