Chapter 245: Recruiting Soldiers
"I heard that when you join the military as a guard, you need to bring your own food, firearms, axes, and other utensils. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoI don't have many assets in my family, and I am the only worker in my family, so I am worried that I will not be able to take care of the fields at home. Liu Zhuang said.
It is the basic principle of the military system to bring all the necessary military items, not only weapons, but also the equipment on the march. The imperial court and military government only provided military horses and iron lances and other materials that were difficult for ordinary people to obtain at home, such as swords, arrows, food and other things, which needed to be prepared by themselves, and placed in the treasury of the military government on weekdays and taken out during wartime.
One person is a guard, not the whole family is exempt from servitude, only the guard himself is exempted from servitude and taxes, of course, the righteous rice of the Shecang still needs to continue to pay.
Liu Zhuangshi is worried, which is normal.
Since he wanted to choose Ding Zhuang to enter the military government, Chen Ping wanted to take a group of subordinates from Liuhe County to go, Liu Zhuang was honest and the best choice, and patiently explained: "If you enter the military government, your conscription taxes can be removed, and the taxes paid by the family can be saved." In addition, it is a great honor to enter the military government as a guard, and the court selects Chengding, which needs to be a family with assets and a prosperous family. If you really come like this, you will not succeed. But since I am the county commander, and you follow me, I can't ignore your future. ”
After a pause, Chen Ping pondered the wording and asked, "Are there any ancestors in your family who have made meritorious contributions?" ”
This is nothing, if there is, Liu Zhuangshi can't just be a white straight, less is to get a meritorious position, no matter how bad it is, it is not impossible to be a magistrate in the county.
Liu Zhuangshi shook his head.
"That's it, do you want to be just an ordinary white straight for the rest of your life? People should look at the heights, enter the military as a guard, make meritorious contributions to the court, receive honors and rewards, and when you are old in the future, you can also show off with your children and grandchildren. What a glory? In a person's life, he should not only take care of his small family, but also think about everyone. Chen Ping flickered, "What are you?" Is it the imperial court? No, not just the imperial court. It is the country, it is the people, there are Tuyuhun in the west of the imperial court, there are small countries such as Linyi in the south, and there are Turks in the north. ”
Liu Zhuangshi was a little confused.
Chen Ping felt that it should be said in layman's terms: "In the west, Tuyuhun, those adjacent states and counties, some people were caught by Tuyuhun and boiled and eaten. In Yangzhou, we can eat rice and occasionally taste pork, but in the border states, those people are bullied and dangerous all the time. Become a guardian, protect them, and let those foreign enemies who covet and bully our people have no return. Do you have the courage? ”
"But if I become a guard, won't I be eaten if I touch them?" Liu Zhuang said.
"If they want to eat, give him a spear." Chen Ping said solemnly.
It is not false that Tuyuhun eats people, including the Nanban, who will also eat the enemy, but it is not as common as rice. In contrast, the Turkic civilization in the north seems to be even higher, unheard of.
If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, and this is not groundless.
Chen Ping thought that he was powerless to stop Yang Guangxi from Tuguhun and the Northern Expedition to Goguryeo, and within his ability, Chen Ping only wanted to reduce the casualties by a few points.
Wouldn't it be better to cut off one part of the historical process and then connect it to another, so that a people who have suffered many disasters and hardships less suffering?
In the past, in Chen Ping's view, it was nothing more than money, used to buy a house and living security, as for higher spiritual pursuits, Chen Ping occasionally thought about it, but reason told him that before the bread settled, spiritual things were a little extravagant.
In his previous life, he could only stay on the material level in his life.
God gave Chen Ping a chance, which has nothing to do with the love between the Supreme Treasure and the Zixia Fairy, but a responsibility, a spiritual responsibility.
Democracy is too far away to be practical, but when it comes to the issue of nationalities, the long river of more than 1,000 years cannot be separated.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Liu Zhuangshi nodded.
Next, Chen Ping talked to Bai Zhi in the county one by one, but the result was not satisfactory, only Xu Wei, Wen Xiaohai and Xia Liang agreed to abandon Bai Zhi's identity and follow Chen Ping into the military government.
Chen Ping did not force it, nor did he use the official position of the county order to press, the soldiers are not expensive, he did not want to judge the quota by assets, but wanted to implement a voluntary recruitment system.
The government military system, practice in your spare time, and return to the house when you go to the house. Last time, it was not only the Suwei Jingshi, but also the Suwei border state, or the important town of Weijin.
is not a professional soldier, tends to be a militiaman, Chen Ping does not approve, since there is a relationship with the county order, it is necessary to make good use of it.
When the soldiers returned to their hometowns, Chen Ping might organize them to practice again, and as for the cost of 100 people, Chen Ping could still afford it at present.
The county ordered that he was not allowed to leave the country, and Chen Pingben still wanted to observe Yang Guang's fleet, but he could only give up temporarily.
In the next few days, Chen Ping issued a notice for the village chiefs to bring back and announce the recruitment of guards.
The announcement is a good rendering, and the previous remarks with Liu Zhuangshi made Chen Shitong a little polished.
The result was beyond Chen Ping's expectations, and on the first day, nearly 200 people went to the county government and asked to join the military government as guards.
"It must be strictly screened, the first thing is to be physically strong and tall, the second is to be a village soldier in the past, the third is to be honest and obey orders, and the fourth is the number of people in the family, and the number of Ding mouths is preferred." Chen Ping was outside the county government and said to Zhang Shan'an and Chen Yuanliang, who were in charge of registering and selecting guards.
There was a wooden table in front of the two, Chen Yuanliang was in charge of recording, and Zhang Shanan was in charge of selecting people.
Zhang Shan'an, Tan Zhu, and Chen Jiu, who were originally village soldiers, got acquainted with Chen Ping because of Chen Shirun's affairs, Chen Ping personally went to the three people's homes, and the three agreed to follow Chen Ping into the military mansion.
Under the governor, there is a gang and a gang leader, who is considered the lowest level of the military government, but he cannot be called an officer.
In the Sui military system, the gang chief has no official rank, and his position and role are like the head of the township, although he is in charge of people, but he is not officially recognized by the imperial court.
Chen Ping was originally the governor of the capital, and there were fifty people under his jurisdiction, that is, five gang leaders, and Chen Ping gave the promise of one gang leader for each of the three people.
Of course, this is only private, and the specific needs to wait until the Liuhe Military Government reports and registers before it can be effective.
Moreover, Chen Ping had another idea in his heart, Wei Xuan gave him the quota and task of selecting a hundred guards, and Chen Ping wanted to belong to his own name for the remaining fifty people.
Even if it doesn't work in name, in fact, Chen Ping has to be controlled in his hands.
"I didn't expect so many people to apply for joining the military government as a guard on the first day, and if you look at it like this, you will definitely be able to choose the right person." Zhang Shan'an thought deeply of Chen Ping's several requirements.
Only those who have fought on the battlefield understand the importance of physical fitness and the importance of their companions.
If there are a bunch of soft eggs around, let alone helping to cut and kill the enemy, you should be lucky if you don't add to the chaos.
"Chen County Order, entering the military mansion, will you really manage our daily meals?" A strong man who was queuing up according to Bai Zhi's instructions walked out, and when he came to Chen Ping, he suddenly asked. (To be continued.) )
