Chapter 19: My 'Officer Corps'

Faced with Yang Han's sudden proposal to abdicate and make way for Xian, Wei Shuo naturally refused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that he doesn't have the ambition to lead Gaochang, but the time is not yet ripe.

It has only been a few months since he came to Gaochang together, how can he compare to Yang Han, who is deep-rooted and prestigious?

Although all walks of life in Gaochang sincerely obey Yang Han, but in the face of a foreign boy who suddenly ascended to power, I am afraid it is not so easy to speak.

Maybe Yang Han also realized that this move was too much for Meng Lang and had to take back his life, but he finally said to Wei Shuo: "In the future, you can do anything freely, and the old man will take care of what happens." ”

"My lord is so gracious, it is difficult for his subordinates to repay him for their deaths!"

"Alas, the old man's move is also to find a hero who can bring them a happy life to the people who have suffered from war in the world."

……

A few days later, with the full support of Yang Han, Wei Shuo successfully recruited 500 children from good families and decided to use this as the basis for training a new army.

Of course, it was claimed to be an escort team formed to protect the caravan, and only Yang Han and Wei Shuo knew the truth.

As a modern person who had never had experience in battle formations, he suddenly became the supreme military commander of a county, the Du Lieutenant, even though Wei Shuo had made all kinds of psychological preparations before, but when he suddenly saw the five hundred new subordinates in front of him, he still became at a loss.

Fortunately, Wei Shuo has never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and at the same time knows that in any era, the more perfect the system and discipline, the less troubles the army has, and the stronger the combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the first step is to set the rules for the new army!

As soon as he got started, he found that things were far from being as simple as he thought, and none of the five hundred children of the good family who were recruited first were literate.

In ancient times, it was extremely common for soldiers to be uneducated, and some generals even deliberately selected illiterate and honest peasant children to serve as soldiers.

Because in this way the soldiers will have a great deal of obedience, easy to accept commands, and easy for the generals to control the army.

But as a modern person, Wei Shuo knows that an army composed of a group of illiterate people is destined to be an army without thoughts, and even if it can achieve a temporary victory, it is not a long-term strategy after all!

Therefore, after careful consideration, Wei Shuo decided to carry out literacy eradication in the army, interspersed with some queue exercises.

When facing everyone for the first time, Wei Shuo didn't say any clichΓ©s or big words, because he knew that the five hundred people in front of him had no pride in changing the world, let alone the feelings of saving the people as their own responsibility.

They were all ordinary peasant children, who had despaired of their lives, coveted the high salaries offered by the guards, hoping to change their fate, so they came to the barracks.

Therefore, everyone's ideological consciousness is naturally not high, but it is not easy for everyone to look at Gao Yulu's face, obey Wei Shuo's arrangement, and learn all kinds of knowledge seriously and actively.

Wei Shuo didn't preach any big truths to everyone, but said very sincerely: "Brothers, since everyone is together, we will naturally have to eat in the same pot in the future." I want everyone to be united with each other, why should we be united? In the future, everyone will have to guard the caravan, what if they don't unite and encounter bandits? ”

"One person can't defeat the bandits, only everyone can unite together, so that everyone can survive, receive a high amount of money, and improve their own lives."

Seeing that what Wei Shuo said was sincere, the people below invisibly got closer, and the gap between people was much weaker.

Seeing that the mood of everyone had stabilized, Wei Shuo continued: "Brothers, don't worry, as long as you follow me and learn the skills of killing enemies, you can marry a daughter-in-law, buy a house, and live a prosperous life in the future." ”

Perhaps it was Wei Shuo's kind tone that inspired everyone's courage, and a young student hid in the crowd and dared to ask: "Will adults be able to eat meat every day in the future?" ”

"What's it to eat meat every day? In the future, you will all wear silk and satin, and marry ten or eight daughters-in-law. ”

"Is there really that day?" Many people were attracted by the prospect depicted by Wei Shuo and muttered to themselves.

"Of course there is! As long as everyone listens to the arrangement and trains carefully, they will have a day to get ahead in the future. ”

"Okay, let's listen to your lords!"

"Yes, listen to your lordship!"

After the enthusiasm of the people was aroused, Wei Shuo began to reorganize the five hundred people. Referring to the current army establishment, coupled with some experience in later generations, he organized the recruits into a song of four capitals, eight tuns, fifty tithes, and one hundred soldiers, and the corresponding military positions at each level were military candidates, dubo, tun chiefs, even chiefs, and army chiefs.

This establishment completely subverted the relatively chaotic and random military establishment since the Wei and Jin dynasties, and redivided the clear and clear hierarchy, so that each level of generals and officers can know very clearly how many people they have under their hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the positions currently announced are temporary, and everyone will be trained and studied for a period of time, as long as you perform well enough, then these positions may fall into your hands in the future."

"Some people may be asking? What is the use of these positions? You can't eat or drink, and you have to worry about tiredness! ”

"Yes, it is really hard to compete for a position, not only to perform well, but also to help your subordinates perform well. Sometimes subordinates make mistakes, and as a boss, they have to be punished. ”

"But I still have to say that there are benefits to competing for a position in addition to suffering and suffering! First of all, the salary of a person with a position is definitely higher than that of an ordinary guard, and the higher the position, the more he will have; secondly, the tax exemption that the selected person can also enjoy; Finally, you can also introduce your family to work in the workshop under the Taishou Mansion. ”

"In other words, the harder you train, the better you perform, the more benefits you get, and the more benefits your family will enjoy."

At this time, everyone's emotions were finally completely mobilized by Wei Shuo, and many people looked at the person who had just been given the position with green eyes, as if to say that this position would be mine sooner or later.

In addition to the brutal training, Wei Shuo also had to find time every day to organize recruits to study, and his behavior shocked the entire Gaochang even more. In ancient times, the government pursued elite education for the aristocracy, and adopted the education of foolish people for the common people, but now Wei Shuo's behavior is completely contrary to the concept believed by the current scholars.

It's not that no one ran to Yang Han to complain, but Wei Shuo told Yang Han very clearly that he was not training ordinary soldiers, but training according to the requirements for training future grassroots officers.

After listening to Wei Shuo's explanation, Yang Han let it go and completely handed over the new army to Wei Shuo.

Wei Shuo held literacy classes in the army, not only to teach people to read and write, but also to promote his own ideas in the army and attract more people to follow him.

In order to urge everyone to study, these classes are not just going to the top, but to be regularly assessed, and only those who pass the assessment can be promoted.

……

Eighteen-year-old Xu Zhao was originally the child of an ordinary peasant family in Gaochang City, with a family of five, in addition to a few acres of thin fields, his parents also did some small business in the city.

Xu Zhaocai had to come to recruit caravan guards, originally for the high amount of money. But as he got deeper and deeper contact with Duwei Weishuo, he was gradually impressed by the charm of Duwei and thought that this was a great hero.

Wei Duwei is not only shrewd and capable, fair, but also has a strong personality charm, and is also very enthusiastic to help people, many recruits are willing to communicate with Lord Wei.

Even Xu Zhao himself was no exception, even his name was obtained by Lord Duwei, and he still remembers what Lord Duwei said when he taught him to write his name.

"Zhao, the sun is the shape, the call is the voice, there is a bright and beautiful meaning, indicating that you will have a new future in the future!"

Growing up so big, no one had ever told him what the future was, and for the first time, Xu Zhao had the idea of following a certain person, and he believed that there were more and more people in the escort team who had this kind of thought.
