didn't wait for Jia Min to find them, Feng Ziying and the three of them came to Jia Min first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info three of them, each of which also has 200 training posts.

They are also experiencing similar problems, lack of people, lack of money. However, their situation is better than that of the historians, although there is no one, there is still some money.

I heard that Jia Min received the training errand of Jia Mansion, and in view of their consistent trust in Jia Min, they came to Jia Min for an idea.

Feng Ziying and Jia Min are now both business partners and good friends. Jia Min was not polite, told them about the Shi family, and suggested that they also merge their own military posts to Jiafu.

In doing so, the benefits are still obvious. After the scale is expanded, the average person can start to decrease, and at the same time, you can receive a high level of training from your own place.

For Jia Min, with these three joining, the total number of posts has reached 1,300. If these 1,300 people were to be trained into a disciplined, well-equipped, and well-trained army, it would have been a formidable force in this era. Not only can it be used as a small campaign, but it can even be used as a special forces.

Several people were very excited when they heard this, and immediately went home to discuss with the elders, and soon brought back the news, and decided to merge their posts to Jiafu. Each family paid 80 taels of silver for each soldier a year, and selected the children of their own family to serve in the army together.

Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun were respectively appointed as the leaders of their families.

The budget of 80 taels of silver per person a year is actually not enough. However, it is good to be able to come up with these things at the moment.

According to the information that Feng Ziying obtained, many of the other families had a budget of thirty or fifty taels of silver, and basically none exceeded one hundred taels.

However, for the time being, this silver is enough to make money. After all, the money is not spent all at once, so there is a buffer time.

During this time, Jia Min has a way to earn enough military money by doing business.

The problem of money is not too big, the key is the problem of people. Among the problems of people, first of all, there is the problem of officers.

Without a contingent of high-quality middle-level and grass-roots officers, it will be difficult for even the most astute commanders to realize their war intentions.

Officers must first be selected from among the children of each family.

In fact, this is also a helpless choice.

First of all, the children of each family have received some education and have a relatively high level of education. This is their greatest strength.

In the current army of the Dade Dynasty, many middle and low-level officers are still illiterate. This may not be a big deal there, but here in Jia Min, it's a huge flaw.

Secondly, the holy decree also requires that men of appropriate age from various families join the army. At the same time, many children of the family also took this as an opportunity to gain fame and accumulate military merits. Of course, there are also many who just want to be gilded.

Another advantage of being an officer is that they are the masters of the family, and the soldiers they draw are all their minions. In this way, it is also easier for them to control and direct their own families. In the spirit of loyalty and obedience, there are benefits.

The first meeting of the training of the government soldiers was held in the study of Jia Min of Yedu Ju.

This was the first formal meeting on the training of government soldiers. There were four people in attendance: Jia Min. Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan.

Jia Min designated Wei Ruolan to make a record, and everyone's speech must be recorded. At first, the three of them didn't understand this, but they also knew Jia Min's usual style and knew that it would make sense to do so, so they obeyed.

Because it was the first time, Wei Ruolan didn't know how to record, so Jia Min first listed a format for him.

Name of the meeting: Preparatory Meeting for the Exercise of Government Soldiers.

Meeting time: the sixth day of September in the twelfth year of Yuan Heng (Cingzi).

Participants: Jia Min, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan.

The purpose of the meeting: to prepare for the affairs of the government.

Moderator: Jia Min.

The following is a transcript of the presentations made at the meeting.

Jia Min spoke first.

"This time, our staff is a total of 1,300 people, and at present, this amount is temporarily determined, and we will no longer accept other families to join."

"Since it is still only a training army, not a formal army, there is no requirement for the establishment of the Holy Decree. Therefore, we do not need to follow the current practice of the army. This time, we will temporarily adopt our own method of establishment, and if there is an instruction from the Ministry of War in the future, we will act in accordance with the method of the Ministry of War. ”

"These 1,300 people are currently organized into three battalions. A battalion of 360 people. Each battalion has three companies of 120 men each. Each company has three platoons of 40 men each. Each platoon has 3 classes with 12 people per class. ”

"Each class has a squad leader and a deputy squad leader. Each platoon has a platoon commander and a deputy platoon commander. One herald, one order. Each company has a company commander, a deputy company commander, a herald, and a service officer. Each battalion has one battalion commander, one deputy battalion commander, two heralds, two service officers, and one secretary general. ”

"The rest of the people are organized into auxiliary teams such as gangmen, grooms, coachmen, and military doctors."

"I have made a table of the detailed preparation, and you can take a closer look at it after the meeting is adjourned."

"The first task now is to set up logistical facilities as soon as possible, to build barracks, dormitories, and bundgets, a total of three bundgets, one for each battalion, and each of them to open fire. At the same time, it is necessary to seize the time to purchase food, tableware, weapons, war horses, and other supplies. Wei Ruolan is solely responsible for this matter. For the specific purchase details, I have listed the list, and I will give you the list in a while, and purchase according to the order. ”

"The second thing is to form a corps of officers, who are filled by the masters and clansmen of each province, and who are drawn according to the ratio of two out of every 100 posts, between the ages of 15 and 35. According to this ratio, there are 12 people in the east and west of Jiafu, 2 people from the Shi family, and 3 of you, 4 people from each family. Together, there are 26 people. ”

"Three days later, I asked the families to report to the country, and I trained them myself. When registering, it is not allowed to bring a maid, it is not allowed to take a long servant, only wear a set of clothes, and any other items are not allowed to be carried. Chen Yejun is in charge of this matter. ”

"The third thing is recruitment. The recruitment is divided into two parts, the first part is the soldiers drawn from each prefecture. In the next few days, it is necessary to implement the number as soon as possible. The second part is to go out and recruit soldiers. ”

"At present, all the prefectures are handling military training, so it is already difficult to recruit soldiers in the imperial capital. We're going to go out and recruit. Where to go? Go to the area of Beizhili. One is that it is the land of Yan Zhao, and since ancient times, martial arts have become a practice. The second is that it is relatively poor, there are many people and little land, and there is a surplus of young and middle-aged people. For each recruit, give 5 taels of silver to the family, and when you get here, you will be given 1 tael of silver every month. With such treatment, it should not be difficult to recruit. At this time, Feng Ziying is in charge. At the latest, it should be done within a month. ”

"If you give money like that, it won't be difficult to recruit soldiers. Such an income, even if he is farming and doing business at home, may not be able to get it, is it higher? ”

Feng Ziying was a little worried.

"Gao is a little higher, but it is hard to get here, and it is not easy to get this money. In the future, you will know that my training is different from training in other places. Even if you don't fight, it's very hard. There is also the possibility of injuring and dying. One day in the future, it will be even more so. ”

"What if there are dead or wounded?"

"You make it clear to them that there is a bereavement pension for the injured and disabled, and the money we give is three times that of the official family. Those who died were five times as many as the official families. ”

"Now the official family has killed 30 taels of silver, and if it is five times, it will be 150 taels, which is a lot."

"It's not much, there will be a day in the future, and I'm going to give more. How much is it worth to have a life? Even if it is an ordinary people's family and descendants, it is a life, and people also have parents, brothers and sisters. In fact, our lives are no more valuable than others. ”

"It's easier not to bring a maid, this is a military camp, and it's all men, after all, it's not so convenient. If you don't let the chief and the easy-going guy, this ......? ”

Chen Yejun was hesitant.

"If you really want to take the chief and the servant, it's fine, but you tell them that you want to be a soldier when you come, and it's the same as other soldiers. Or if you don't come, you have to obey the military order when you come, otherwise you will have to be dealt with by military law. ”

"Don't say anything else, as far as the second brother Bao in your house is concerned, I'm afraid he will be the first to be disobedient. He is already pampered, and if he wants to change, I think it will be difficult. If you want to dispose of him, you old lady will be the first to disagree. ”

"Hehe, if he's at home, I'm too lazy to care about him, and if he's here, I can't help him. Don't worry, as long as he comes, I have 10,000 ways to clean him up. ”

"If Baoyu is picked up obediently, I don't think anyone else will dare to be disobedient. It's just that those minions are used to following their masters, and when they come here, I'm afraid they will have to serve their masters as if they were at home. That's a problem, too. ”

Wei Ruolan's worries are actually very reasonable.

Most of the children of these families are idle and greedy for pleasure, and even their minions have long developed the habit of serving them. This habit is almost innate, and it is not easy to change it here.

"It doesn't matter, when the time comes, whoever is disobedient will clean them up, and there will be two rounds, and they will be honest."

"In addition, Ruolan, when you go to the city, find Qiu Liang and ask him to send me ten strong soldiers, I want them to come to me to enforce military law, and I will also ask Lin Dajiang to lead the team."

After the task was assigned, the four of them discussed for a while, and Jia Min took the three of them to the pigsty.

Liu Tieshan is taking a small worker to install an iron cage here.

The iron cage is three feet square, and if a person goes in, he can't stand up straight, and he can't lie down, so he can only lie down and stay inside.

"What is this for?"

Chen Yejun asked.

"Confinement, if anyone disobeys, they will be locked up here."

Jia Min understated.

"Oh, that's a sin, and when you get here, you can't live, you can't die."

Wei Ruolan said with emotion.

"So, when the time comes, you guys will also have to train well. If you're not good, you're going to be locked up here. We are all good brothers, don't be unpredictable. ”

After Jia Min finished speaking, he left on his own.

Feng Ziying and the three of them looked at each other, and they felt cold all over their bodies.
