Chapter Ninety-Four: The Problem

"We want to join the Qin army, and the Qin army also issued us military uniforms, those northwest barbarians look down on us Liaodong people, no, we all these people are combined, or they are here, and the province is in the Qin army by those northwest barbarians." Lin Junchen was worried that He Tengxiao would not accept them if he thought they had joined the Qin army, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Master He, although we want to join the Qin army, the Qin army has not yet been registered, so it is not the Qin army, and it is still innocent." ”

Lin Junchen explained this, He Tengxiao breathed a sigh of relief, according to the Great Zhao military system, only after the official registration can be regarded as a real military household after entering the military registration, Lin Junchen has not yet registered on the Qin army's side, which means that they are not the Qin army, since it is not the Qin army, He Tengxiao does not have the problem of the town army defecting to the private army of the Hao family. He Tengxiao can completely accept them, as long as he says hello to Peng Chaodong in advance, Peng Chaodong will not hold on to more than 100 people.

"Lin Tiehammer, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is not easier than the Qin Army, and the training of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is more difficult and tiring than that of ordinary troops." He Tengxiao said, "As long as you suffer hardship, I will accept you." ”

Phoenix City broke through the battle, Lin Junchen relied on an iron hammer to turn the Liao army's heavily armored iron cavalry hammer people on their backs, such brave people are rare, He Tengxiao intends to stay Lin Junchen in the Xiao cavalry camp. At present, the Pingshan Fort Army has expanded into a cavalry battalion, and the number of people has suddenly more than tripled.

He Tengxiao used the remnants of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion as the team, and it was more than enough to expand a thousand-household team, but with an expansion of a battalion and a strength of more than 3,000 people, these teams were a little stretched. Now there are big vacancies for junior officers. He Tengxiao was a grassroots officer in his later life, and he was very aware of the importance of grassroots officers to an army. How to fill the vacancy of grassroots officers is He Tengxiao's biggest headache now.

The officers of Xiaoqi, Zongqi, and Baihu seem to be of low quality, but the quality of these grassroots officers is directly related to the combat effectiveness of the Xiaocai Battalion in the future, as well as He Tengxiao's control over the Xiaocai Battalion. In Dazhao, the practice of ordinary town army officers was to appoint their own soldiers as grass-roots officers such as small banners, general banners, and hundred households, so as to restrain the huge army under their command.

However, most of the personal soldiers of these high-ranking military attaches were some elite soldiers who were brave and good at fighting, who were brave but not strategic, treated the lower-level soldiers coldly and brutally, and punished the soldiers for no reason. In short, the quality of these pro-soldiers is far from reaching the standard of a qualified junior officer. After several battles against Liao, the army brought out by this method had low combat effectiveness and was vulnerable in front of the Liao army, which was brave and good at fighting.

"We are all from poor families, and we are not afraid of hardship. As long as He Ye is willing to take us in, we will never embarrass He Ye. Lin Junchen patted his chest and said.

"Remember what you said today." He Tengxiao's expression was solemn, "I can take you in, but the ugly words are ahead, the Xiao Cavalry Camp does not accept waste, if you fail to meet the standards of the Xiao Cavalry Camp in the future, don't blame me for ruthlessly sweeping you out." ”

When more than 100 people in Phoenix City heard that He Tengxiao was willing to accept them, they knelt down and kowtowed excitedly to thank He Tengxiao for accepting them. The Qin army is mainly composed of Qin people, while He Tengxiao's Xiao cavalry battalion is mainly composed of Liaodong people, compared to the Qin army, the Xiao cavalry camp has no geographical barrier, and they are also easier to integrate into the Xiao cavalry camp.

He Tengxiao motioned to the people of Phoenix City to get up, turned his head sideways, and said to Chang Qing on the side: "Take them to change into the military uniforms of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and immediately register for the book." ”

Chang Qing clenched his fists, waved his hand to these Phoenix City people and shouted, "Follow me into the fort." ”

These Phoenix people entered Pingshan Fort under the guidance of Evergreen.

After looking at the people in Phoenix City and entering Pingshan Fort, He Tengxiao asked Zhang Yuyang and Ling Feng beside him: "What do you two think we lack the most in this army expansion?" ”

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Lack of money, lack of food." ”

Ling Feng was straightforward, directly explaining that the most lacking thing in this army expansion was money and food.

Zhang Yuyang shook his head and said: "We are short of money and food, but at the moment, including the Liao army, which army is not short of money and food?" What is most lacking in this large-scale expansion is people! ”

"There is a steady stream of refugees fleeing south, and we are not short of soldiers, let alone an expansion of 3,000 troops, as long as we have enough money and food, it is not a problem to expand the army by 5,000." Ling Feng disagrees with Zhang.

"Right battalion general, I don't mean soldiers, but military attachés such as small banners, general banners, and hundred households. The army has been expanded to 3,000 people, and how many vacancies are there for small flags, general flags, and 100 military positions? I'm afraid that now the veterans are red-eyed when they look at these martial arts. ”

Ling Feng was still the same as before, He Tengxiao was promoted, and he was also promoted to He Tengxiao's adjutant. This time, He Tengxiao was promoted to battalion general, and Ling Feng followed He Tengxiao to be promoted to the right battalion general. Da Zhao respects the left, and the so-called right battalion general is the deputy position of the battalion general. And because Zhang Yuyang has followed He Tengxiao for a relatively short time and has insufficient qualifications, he was only promoted to a thousand households this time, and his martial arts position is one level lower than Ling Feng. But in less than a year, he was promoted from a general banner to a thousand households, and the promotion speed was definitely a steady step in the Dazhao Zhen Army.

In the end, he is a person who has read some books and worked as a staff member, Zhang Yuyang sees the problem more profoundly than Ling Feng, who is just a rough writer.

"That's right." He Tengxiao retracted his gaze and stared into the distance, his eyes were deep and ethereal, "This time the expansion of the army, the decline in combat effectiveness is inevitable, what we can do is to control the decline in combat effectiveness to a certain extent, otherwise after the expansion of the army, the Xiao cavalry battalion will be no different from the ordinary town army." And the key to this problem lies precisely in the grassroots military attaches such as Xiaoqi, Zongqi, and Baihu. ”

This is what Zhang Yuyang admires about He Tengxiao, he always sees problems farther and more profoundly than others. The first thing that comes to mind for the promotion of ordinary military attaches is to expand the army, and the more non-commissioned officers under their command, the better, and the more people they have, the more imposing they sound at first glance, and the more beautiful the military attaché is. Thus, the problems of the decline in the combat effectiveness of the army and the increase in the burden of raising troops brought about by the unlimited expansion of the army are ignored. The difference between He Tengxiao and them is that the first thing he thought of was not the superficial scenery brought by promotion and army expansion, but the many problems behind the army expansion. It is necessary to see farther and more profoundly than ordinary military attachés.

He Tengxiao believed in the policy of elite soldiers, and the expansion of the army was not necessarily a good thing in his opinion. Moreover, He Tengxiao was only a small company commander in later generations, and what he was good at was small-scale operations. And whether he has the ability to command 3,000 men, he himself has no bottom.

"Does the general have a solution to this problem?" Zhang Yuyang asked.

He guessed that He Teng had taken precautions and had already taken countermeasures.
