Chapter 802: Three or four years have passed
The battle of the Ryukyus, the conquest of seeds, and the sweep of Kyushu Island, that battle was not launched from the sea first, so Li Yang's consideration was justified.
It is also because although the slave legion is large in number and strong in combat, it does not have a high status in the legion sequence, so the disbandment and selection were also carried out in the slave legion.
But at this moment, since the matter is coming, the soldiers of these slave legions can only fight, fight, there is a good future waiting for them, it is rumored that the soldiers of the Wuyi Guard are well paid, food and clothing are naturally free, and there are three taels of silver every month, these three taels of silver According to the current price, the miscellaneous grain can buy twelve stones, and it is not a problem to feed the family, how not to make these soldiers red.
got on the boat and went out to sea, far away from the shore for more than half a mile, and the assessment began.
Many soldiers are still not used to the slippery planks, and in the jumping gang, they are either not flexible enough to catch it, or they are easy to jump over, but they are gently pushed by the defending side, and their feet slip and fall off the boat.
When the soldiers were lucky enough to get through the gang jumping and the boat attack, a vicious law enforcement team drove them out of the sea and swam ashore.
Along the way, many small boats were guarded along the way, and if anyone could not support it, they threw over an inflatable animal skin or fished it up directly with a long pole.
This is not far away, the sea water is buoyant enough, there is no problem, but the soldiers are exhausted one by one, and the sea is not like a river, it is particularly affected by the ocean current, a few waves turned over, and several people with bad lives died heroically for the country. The losses of personnel in this kind of training are also considered war deaths, and their families do not have to worry about living without a livelihood.
After a day of cruel assessment, the number of people was counted, and only more than 350 people could pass it successfully, and 17 people died in the entire assessment.
In this era, you have to be cruel, whether it is to the enemy or to your own people, Li Yang has already understood this, sighed and ordered the dead to be buried properly, and after generously caring for his family, Li Yang's expression perked up, and he said to the remaining more than 350 people below: "From now on, you will become a member of the glorious Wuyi Guard."
The soldiers below were also refreshed when they heard this. Immediately began to distribute military uniforms and armor directly, and Li Yang personally distributed the identity cards that exuded black luster one by one.
Cast from black iron and decorated with a flame moire, the front of the plaque is engraved with a number and name, and each person will always have their own unique number in the Black Guard, and this glory will always be with you even if you die or leave.
The soldiers who received the plaque from the lord of the country were all overjoyed, not to mention anything else, this glory alone is also worth boasting about to the younger generations.
Li Yang stayed in Tanegashima for one more day, and on the second day, he took more than 350 newly promoted members of the Wuyi Guard, who were all dressed in black and black armor, to Ryukyu by boat.
The remnants of the original slave legion left in the seed, except for about half of the people who will be selected as the seed garrison to maintain the security of the weekday, walking water and other emergencies, the rest of the people will be dismissed on the spot, and then the government can help to find a messenger to do, anyway, these legionnaires are also in the prime of life, and it is very simple to find an errand.
In this way, although the garrison force in various places has been weakened, it is strong and weak, and the sea power of the Eastern Han State is strong, so it is not so easy to be attacked by people for a while.
Li Yang came all the way to Ryukyu, where there were most of the people of the Third Army and the Second Army Corps, with a total number of 3,000, and Huang Bingxi returned to China and regained the power of the Second Army not long after, not to mention that Li Yang also arranged a position for this rough man as the commander of the Wuyi Guard, but he did not directly lead the troops below, but acted as Wang Hu's vanguard officer, and sent him directly.
This rough man also knows that he is not the material to directly lead the troops, and the commander of this black guard is also quite glorious, and he can stay in Miyako Island to enjoy happiness, why not.
Yan Kuan, the commander of the three legions, was Li Yang's personal guard, and Li Yang fully considered the way out for the officers in each legion, even if he was not arranged to serve in the Wuyi Guard, he was also filled into the local government as a patrol in charge of public security.
Therefore, the two legions also started the selection process smoothly, competing with each other, even if they can't choose, they can only blame themselves for their inferior skills, although the treatment in the future is almost good, but at least they are far away from the life of licking blood on the knife.
At the same time, Wang Hu went to Kyushu Island, Kyushu Island because of the sparse population, the main role of the Oriental Han Kingdom is a strategic extension and a base to provide a small amount of resources, so only a battalion of soldiers of the Second Army Corps is stationed, Wang Hu, the future chief officer of the Wuyi Guard, went to the task of a certain selection, and then left a team of more than 100 people to fill the local government as a security patrol post.
The Ryukyus were a relatively densely populated area of the Han Kingdom in the East, and there was a large amount of gold output, so after more than 800 soldiers were transferred from the Second and Third Army Corps to the sequence of Wuyiwei, none of the remaining nearly 2,000 people were disbanded, and they were directly organized into the local garrison.
Li Yang originally wanted to leave Yan Kuan as the commander of the garrison, but Yan Kuan, a kid, pestered Li Yang with a dead face, and would rather go to the Wuyi Guard as a battalion officer than stay here to take care of some village fights, capture smuggling boats and other unnutritious things.
There is no way, looking at this subordinate who he has cultivated single-handedly, who is actually about the same age as himself, Li Yang has to leave a place for him in the Wuyi Guard. In addition, the deputy commander who was originally in charge of the Second Army was named Chen Zixia, who was assigned to the position of the commander of the town defenders.
Although Chen Zixia also had regrets in his heart that he couldn't serve in Wuyi Guard, but under Yan Kuan's persuasion, he was promoted by half a level, so he had to accept it.
The affairs of the outer islands were settled, and the group returned to Miyako Island, at this time it was nearly December, and in another month it would be the fourth year of Zehan. Unknowingly, Li Yang has ruled here for more than three years, and the speed of time also makes him sigh.
At this time, the number of soldiers selected has reached more than 1,100 people, and there is no specific formation at the moment, and they are still gathered together in general according to the original establishment, and they will be unified and reorganized after the completion of the military system reform.
Three days later, Li Yang was ready to go to Yaeyama Castle for the final assessment, most of the tattoo legion and the first legion were deployed on the front line of Yaeyama Castle, which was the most important place on the land of the Eastern Han Kingdom, so Li Yang was not ready to dismiss the soldiers of these two legions, but only selected the elite from them to fill the Wuyi Guard, and the rest were reorganized and renamed.
Although the defensive power on the border was weakened by this, the key point was that the power in Miyakojima was greatly strengthened, and if Miyakojima could not be captured, even if Yaeyama Castle could not be captured, it would be useless.
