88 At present, there is only one way to conscript
Zhao Song's family law said: "In the year of the famine, the imperial court recruited soldiers and horses in the famine area and gave the victims in the famine area a mouthful of food, so that they could effectively control the people and prevent them from being cornered and rebelling against them.
As a result, there were more and more famine years, and there were more and more forbidden troops.
And then it became what it is today.
The strategy given by Yue Chuan was to recruit soldiers in the line of fire.
Don't forget, we have 250,000 forbidden army quotas, 250,000 people, and the imperial court allocated grain and grass salaries are also based on this number, 250,000 people, even if it is exploited by officials from all over the country, we still have enough money and food to recruit soldiers and horses, and moreover, we have a quota of 250,000 people, a quota of 250,000 people, this is the number of soldiers and horses we should master, remember, this is true, the number of soldiers and horses we should master!
If after the war, we were found to have only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on our books, how should we explain to the emperor and the imperial court, whether to tell the matter of the forbidden army, offend the entire forbidden army group and most of the courtiers, or swallow the bitter fruit we planted? This is a problem that we need to consider carefully, once we accidentally offend someone in the process of conquest, the emperor does not know something, they may not be clear, as long as there is a person who has a heart to operate, we have won a big battle, but the loss of troops will be 200,000!
Is this a merit or a sin? Hard work to maintain, fight to the death, in the end by those people to participate in the play, we are finished, the best result is not owed to the court, and you still want to be rewarded? It's obviously our great credit, but it turns out to be a sin, we have to carry such a big black cauldron, what should we do?
Facing Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye's worries, Yue Xuan said.
We must recruit troops in the line of fire, recruit troops immediately, and recruit troops quietly, even if we capture strong men, we must also arrest them, as long as we ensure a sufficient number of soldiers and horses, we can still win the battle, and nothing else matters! Because that's the number of soldiers we should have at our disposal, and even if someone knows we're recruiting, so what? Do the math for me, how many soldiers and horses I should have? How many soldiers and horses do I have now, you say I am conscripted, what is the evidence? What about the evidence?
Lao Tzu is desperately fighting rebellion on the front line, even if you don't help, you still frame me! The army that framed the imperial court!
It turns out that those forbidden soldiers should also understand, once some desperate guys find out about the forbidden army, poke it up to the emperor to know, once the emperor checks it out, the entire forbidden army will not be able to cover it, then everyone is finished, if you want to keep everyone's current good life, you can only pretend that you don't know anything, and it doesn't matter how many newcomers come, you don't know...... But they're the Praetorian Army, I know!
People who can be corrupt are not stupid people.
This is called making the best use of things, whether it is a clean person or a corrupt person, we have a way to use it, this is not without integrity, this is just fighting for what we deserve, isn't this right? If it happens, we will all be held accountable, and the loss of soldiers will be 200,000! We don't know what to say when we have mouths!
Everybody understands, this is what everybody understands, what should we say, how to do, do we still need someone to guide?
Zhang Ying and Zhang Shuye glanced at each other, and the commander and deputy marshal of the Southern Expedition Army understood what they should do, and the nominal supreme leader of the Southern Expeditionary Army, Tan Zhen, the Great Eunuch, was still in a coma, and he still hadn't woken up, and he didn't know when he would wake up, but it didn't matter, whether he woke up or not, we had to do it.
The secret conscription of the Runzhou battalion began, and the main confronters were the "fallen people" in the area occupied by Fang La here, who could be charged with "attaching thieves", and as long as they joined the Song army, the imperial court could exempt them from their crimes, and after the extermination of Fang La, how should they live, how should they live, there will be no change in the slightest, how, yes?
Don't say yes? Brethren! Here are the thieves of Fang La! Copy guy!!
Yue Tuo doesn't care what the consequences of this move will bring, anyway, the vast majority of them are willing, including those bandits on the mountain, they are willing, and they are unwilling to be a few, they are unwilling, and it is unlikely that they will stay out of the matter, because there are always generals with more violent temperaments who will use some of Yue Tuo's "expressly forbidden" means to deal with them.
All in all, in the absence of the supervising army and the acquiescence of the commander, the number of the Great Song Ping Rebel Corps has developed like a snowball, speaking of which, this kind of firing line conscription has not been done less since ancient times, but people call it catching strong men, and we call it firing line conscription, anyway, this is a private thing for the troops below, and even in the enemy-occupied areas just occupied, this kind of secret activities have been carried out, and the local government has been destroyed, which is very convenient.
The strength of the counterinsurgency corps increased suddenly, and five days later, the number of soldiers and horses increased to 100,000, and it initially had the ability to conduct a decisive battle with Fang La at the level of a group army. There are homeless people everywhere, join the army, join the army if you don't have anything to eat, you fight, I'll feed your whole family, it's that simple, you are mercenaries!
One person is a soldier, and the whole family eats! It's still dry rice!
This is Yue Tuo's latest conscription temptation criterion, with such a criterion to the line of fire to conscript, obviously very effective, so in just three days, an increase of 30,000 young and strong soldiers, the corps strength increased to 130,000, Zhang Ying's personal guard, the 500 Xiangzhou soldiers were urgently dispersed into the new army to fill the position of officer, at the same time, the soldiers who had made military merits in the previous war were also promoted by the line of fire and took up the position of officer.
Veterans lead new recruits.
This is the second slogan put forward by Yue Tuo, veterans, who have lives in their hands, who have seen blood, and who have made military exploits, can be a team leader, even if they only bring five people, then it is okay, as long as a battle, or even a few days of training, can bring out those recruits who have never even seen a sword, and they can dance with knives and guns.
Twenty-four Yue's firing line officers were also promoted, and the most powerful Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and Chao Gai, directly served as temporary commanders and became senior officers, although it was only temporary, and when the war ended, the ten brothers who belonged to Yue Fei could naturally continue to stay in the army as long as they wanted, and the fourteen guards who belonged to Yue Fei gave their military merits to their deputies or other officers and soldiers who had made great achievements, and returned to Xiangzhou with Yue Fan.
But at this time, these twenty-four people, plus Yue Tuo, a total of twenty-five people, have gained valuable experience in the war at the corps level, especially the battlefield commanders who directly entered the war, Chao Gai and others and Wang Hui and others have determined their own war personalities in this war, which will cause unexpected results for Yue Tuo in the future
