Chapter 105: Rectify the Army
On the morning of the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, Gao Shun synthesized the day's synthesis task as soon as possible, and first released the junior civil officials and junior military attachés. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Two junior civil officials, Kong Zheng and Zi Wenli, were appointed as Taishou and assisted Cao Shan in handling various documents and materials; In Chinese, he was appointed as the superintendent of the post, first supervising the relocation of the county, and then inspecting the counties to stabilize the place.
Gao Shun was more satisfied with the junior generals, they could lead both infantry and cavalry, and they were very good cavalry commander-level officers, and they could also be competent as infantry soldiers; It was disappointing that the junior military attache was not equipped with weapons, armor, war horses, etc.
Soon Hu Quan and Zhao Rui arrived together, each holding a list of their respective jurisdictions.
Gao Shun first introduced Kong Zheng and Chinese to Hu Changzhi, and then asked them to pay the salaries of the officials first, and then prepare for the relocation. Although Hu Chang is not very capable, he is familiar with the local situation, and he is still competent for small things like relocation.
Subsequently, Gao Shun, Cao Shan and others went to the military camp with Zhao Rui; First, he sent Sun Cheng, Xue Yin and others to take up their posts in Shanggu County.
Gao Shun was a little self-deprecating in his heart, he didn't plan in advance, and let Sun Cheng and the others run a lot more, wasting a lot of time.
Cao Shan led the people to pay the salaries to the infantry, according to the list one by one, eliminating the vacancies, and distributing the salaries to each officer and soldier.
Gao Shun, Li Qiang, and Cao Xing paid the salaries of the cavalry.
When he first arrived at the barracks, Gao Shun was very disappointed, all the soldiers were in tatters, and only a few officers wore leather armor or fish scale armor; The soldier was yellow-skinned and visibly malnourished.
The cavalry was divided into six tuns, three qu, and a military commander was responsible for management, and each tun was not yet formed, and the total number was only more than 500 people. Gao Shun first checked the attributes of these people, the force value of the six commanders was only more than 40, the force value of the three military candidates was only more than 50, and the force value of the military Sima was less than 60, Gao Shun was very disappointed, and looked at the force value of several cavalry, most of them were at the level of more than 30 or 40, and occasionally some exceeded 50, which made Gao Shun even more disappointed, relying on such soldiers, how to fight with foreign races?
The salary of infantry is 900 yuan per month, and the salary of cavalry is 1500 yuan per month; The salary of the tun chief is 200 stones, and the salary of the military is 400 stones.
Because the border army distributed money, unlike the inland areas, which distributed half the money and half the grain, and the grain prices in the border counties were very high, the soldiers and their families had a difficult life.
Gao Shun decided to adopt the previous method, as long as the soldiers were elite, improve their treatment and social status, and strive to form a trend among the people, being a soldier is the most convenient way to improve family life, and it is an honor to protect the family and defend the country.
The infantrymen were slow to pay their salaries, and the cavalry was quickly paid, leaving a quarter of an hour for the cavalry to put the money away and then assemble for selection.
These cavalrymen were very happy, as soon as the new Taishou took office, they would be able to eat enough, and immediately make up the salaries they owed before, and they would definitely be able to eat in the future, and they would no longer be in arrears of salaries, and they were full of longing for the selection, especially those who believed that they were strong in martial arts.
Time passed quickly, and after a quarter of an hour, more than 500 cavalrymen returned to the training ground, lined up, and waited for selection.
Gao Shun said: "The new Taishou will not owe you salaries in the future, and the treatment will be greatly improved, but the new Taishou will not raise soldiers, only strong and brave people can be selected, and those who are unwilling to continue to serve in the army are invited to be listed." ”
None of them knew the purpose of Gao Shun's words, so no one dared to come out.
"Those over forty years of age and those who are physically ill or disabled are listed."
At this time, more than a dozen half-grown old men with gray beards walked out of the queue, and age could not be faked, and they could not think of it; There are also a few emaciated people on the list.
Gao Shun checked their attributes, they were some ordinary people, and asked them to wait aside.
The elimination standard is the same as that of Taoyuan Fort, first lifting the stone lock, eliminating the poor physical strength, and finally less than 400 people passed the preliminary test.
Since these people were originally cavalry, Gao Shun did not test cavalry archery and horse warfare, but changed the test method to an endurance test, and let them run around the barracks, so that those who could not hold on could be eliminated, and when he felt that the quality of the remaining soldiers was about the same, he could stop it.
The area of the barracks is not small, Gao Shun estimates that the north and south and the east and west are not less than 200 meters each, and a lap is at least 800 meters.
Regardless of whether it is an officer or a soldier, all of them have the same requirements, and all of them participate in the selection.
Because of the queue running, the speed of running is not fast, the test is endurance, not speed, and those who fall behind are regarded as giving up; After 5 laps, some people began to give up, and by the 8th lap, there were more than 100 people who gave up.
The rest of the people, Gao Shun randomly checked a few people, checked their attributes, and they were all above 38, he felt that it was almost over, so he called a stop, and those who persevered were temporarily selected into the cavalry team.
In the end, there were 288 people in total, and nearly half of them were eliminated.
The next thing is Cao Xing's responsibility.
In order to make all the officers and soldiers brave to challenge, Cao Xing first announced the treatment of ordinary cavalry, army commanders, even chiefs, Dubo and tun chiefs; And famous, Wu Chang, Shi Chang, Du Bo and Tun Chang, do not look at military merits, only look at the level of personal martial arts, and there is a chance to challenge on the first day of the new year.
First, the adjacent nine or ten tithes, divided into 30 tithes, let them choose the chief of each tithe and the chief of the army.
In order to get better treatment, no one will give in; The competition is very fierce, and those who cannot reach a consensus are fought against each other in accordance with Cao Xing's requirements, and in order to save time, the ash pole is used in foot combat.
In half an hour, the chief and the chief were elected; Some of the original fierce people in the team did not have the opportunity to be promoted, but all of them were revealed this time.
Gao Shun checked the attributes of the 60 Wu Chiefs and Shi Chang one by one, and it took more than twenty minutes.
Among them, a fierce man named Niu Da was selected, with a force value of 72, intelligence 56, and politics 38, and Gao Shun immediately appointed him as the tun chief. The original three military candidates were all demoted to Dubo, and the original military Sima had a force value of 59, and was appointed as the commander of the tun, and three people with a force value of 54, 51 and 49 were selected as Dubo; The other 2 had a force value of more than 50, but their intelligence was too low, and they were eliminated by Gao Shun and let them enter the camp.
Zheng Chen, the junior military attache of the synthesis, was also appointed, and Ziyang served as the head of the first tun.
At this point, there are a total of 3 cavalry cantonments that are not in the same order, and it is believed that after equipping them with armor and weapons, their combat effectiveness will definitely be much higher than before.
Cao Xuan shouted: "Everyone be quiet, first of all, congratulations on being selected for the cavalry; Now 6 teams are formed, 3 tun, and then everyone under the leadership of the tun chief to get weapons and armor and horses, each person has a good horse, a spear, a scimitar, a hard-horned bow, 2 pots of feather arrows, Dubo and the tun chief with two gear armor, the rest of the personnel are leather armor, the original horses, weapons and armor are all handed over, not private, otherwise military law is engaged; Then it's hard training, don't think it's okay to be selected, there will be challenges and eliminations every month in the future, if you don't train hard, you will be eliminated from the cavalry team at that time, or the military rank will be reduced, don't bother me. Let me emphasize that if Du Bo and the Tun Chang can keep their seats in the next month's challenge, they will be rewarded with a high-class war horse, both as strong and tall as the horses of the army guard; If someone wins the challenge of Dub or Tun Chang in the next month, they will also be rewarded with a high-quality war horse. ”
Now Cao Xing can be regarded as high-spirited, these cavalry are all under his management, plus the original four teams of cavalry, it is close to 500 hundred people, and in the afternoon, I will strive to select a part of the cavalry from the infantry, the more the better.
At noon, all the infantry were envious when they saw the cavalry change their clothes and learn of their generous salaries in the future.
In the afternoon, after first eliminating more than 300 people who were not qualified for physical strength, cavalry was selected from among them, and as long as they could ride or shoot on horseback, all of them signed up to participate in the cavalry selection.
Faced with nearly 2,000 people participating in the cavalry selection, they had to take an endurance test first, and then conduct a cavalry or cavalry selection after eliminating some of them.
In the end, 572 cavalrymen were selected from more than 5,000 infantry, and the officers in the infantry, such as Dubo, Tunchang, and Junhou, basically became members of the cavalry.
Gao Shun is very satisfied with this result.
Due to the lack of officers, and in order to facilitate management, Xu Fu's tun and Cao Xing's tun were expanded into four tuns, and eight Dubo, including Dubo Fan Ping, Wang Wei, Tong Shan, and Fang Tong, were promoted to tun chiefs.
The remaining 200 people formed 2 tuns, from which 2 tun chiefs and 4 dubs were chosen.
A total of 13 cavalry were formed, all of which were not yet formed, and the framework was put up first, so as to facilitate the continued expansion in the future.
After the infantry was eliminated, except for the selected cavalry, there were only 2,200 people left, and the minimum force value remained above 38, Gao Shun was very satisfied with this result, but Zhao Rui felt blushing, but he was very supportive of this, and the remaining people, after being equipped with weapons and leather armor, the combat effectiveness was definitely more than the previous 5,000 people.
According to their personal strengths, 600 archers were formed, 800 pikemen, and the rest were sword and shield soldiers.
Due to the lack of officers, only the formation of the tun, and gradually equipped with officers, Gao Shun prepared all the infantry guards to be served by junior military attachés, and each infantry officer managed 3 to 5 infantry tuns.
Gao Shun also selected 17 people with a force value of more than 50, but their intelligence was too low to be an officer, and they joined the fortified battalion.
According to Gao Shun's plan, Xu Fu led the 4 tun cavalry to protect the relocation of the county; Zhao Rui led 4 cavalry and 1,000 infantry to Daoren County to station; Cao Xuan led 5 tun cavalry and the remaining infantry to garrison Gaoliu City; Gao Shun sent a junior military attache to replace Niu Da as the tun chief, and Niu Da was promoted to a military candidate and enjoyed the treatment of 400 stones, as Cao Xing's assistant.
The more than 2,000 soldiers who were eliminated were given 1 yuan and 3 stone of grain each, and they were dismissed as people, and those whose hometowns were in Dai County or who were willing to settle their household registration in Dai County were arranged by the Taishou Mansion to live in each county, and each person could also reclaim 20 acres of wasteland and be exempt from tax for 3 years.
Gao Shun also screened the original war horses, and the unqualified ones were directly allocated to the Taishou for agricultural use or horse pulling in the future.
