Chapter 103: Digging Talents

Xiao Yu looked at the neat and solemn 10,000 troops in front of him, and nodded secretly in his heart, Long Hui's ability to train soldiers is indeed good. After all, he is also the commander of the soldiers, the commander who has fought on the battlefield for many years.

However, now that the soldiers are available, there are still many problems plaguing the Lion King.

"Young master, although these soldiers are all trained by me to become qualified soldiers, their command staff is very small, and the Lion King Territory is now vast and sparsely populated, and there is only one noble family in the Xiao family, so it is difficult to find officers."

Long Hui complained to Xiao Yu about the lack of commander talent.

In this world, if you want to become an officer, you must be a nobleman, civilians are not allowed to be officers, at most you can only be a small captain or something, and high-ranking officers must have the blood of nobles, which is a tradition for thousands of years.

During the First World War, the powerful imperialist countries of Germany and Britain still retained this tradition, and it was not until the Second World War that the requirements for this aspect were lowered due to the urgent need for a large number of talents.

It was at that time that Rommel rose because of the needs of the situation, otherwise, Rommel would not be an aristocrat and would not have become a commander at all.

The world is still strict with tradition in this regard.

Xiao Yu looked at these soldiers and knew in his heart that if there were no qualified commanders, no matter how elite the soldiers were, they would be in vain. When the Soviet Union invaded Finland, such a powerful country fought such a small country, and as a result, more than 400,000 people were killed and wounded, and Finland only lost 20,000 casualties.

"Establish a military school." Xiao Yu suddenly came out with such a sentence.

"Military Academy?" Long Hui was slightly stunned, there are knight academies and magician academies in this world, but there is no school dedicated to training officers.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not like the Knight Academy that specializes in cultivating powerful knights, but specializes in training commanders who command operations, they may not have strong force, but if they have a smart mind and excellent command skills, they can also become officers." ”

Long Hui's brows furrowed fiercely, which was completely beyond his comprehension. On this continent, there seems to have never been such a military school specifically for the purpose of training commanders, it is generally a knight academy, which will teach powerful martial arts, as well as the rules of knights, and some military common sense.

And because this era is the era of cold weapons, it generally pays more attention to the degree of force of knights, and does not pay much attention to command.

Sometimes, a powerful knight can lead the charge, and a general like Xiang Yu, with absolute bravery, plus some resourcefulness, can win a hundred battles.

A commander who has no force, but has an empty mind, cannot be eaten in this world.

"However, there are no more children of noble blood in our territory, and we can't recruit people." Long Hui said embarrassedly. Although there are a lot of people who have migrated to the Lion King Territory now, they are all commoners, and there are no nobles.

Any nobleman has their arrogance, and it is difficult for them to migrate over such a remote and weak territory as the Lion King Territory.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "For the time being, select a group of civilian soldiers with excellent combat skills, train them as low-level commanders, and then I will find a way." ”

Xiao Yu didn't dare to say that he would immediately let the children of civilians become high-ranking commanders, and if he said it, Long Hui would probably be in a hurry with him immediately.

A commander like Long Hui is also a knight in the family for generations, and they are all commanders, the glory of nobles, and the arrogance of knights, so that they have always looked down on civilians.

If all of a sudden, all those civilians who are high up in the sky he usually meets have the opportunity to become equal beings like him, this is absolutely unbearable for him.

Xiao Yu also understands this feeling, nobles and commoners are always opposites, and it is impossible for any nobleman to casually allow commoners to become nobles.

After hearing this, Long Hui felt that it was inappropriate to let civilians be commanders, even if it was only low-level, but now there seems to be no good way, anyway, just let them become the commander of the army, the commander of ten people, etc., and the commander of a hundred people can't allow it.

Xiao Yu gave Long Hui's 10,000 troops a new establishment, adopting the system of ten commanders, 100 commanders, and 1,000 commanders of the Mongolian tribe.

In this way, each squad is clearly hierarchical, and when fighting, orders can be executed as quickly as possible.

So, under Xiao Yu's order, Long Hui began to select some civilian soldiers who were brave in ordinary combat and had made meritorious contributions to be selected as low-level commanders for command.

The head of ten people said that the children of commoners can do it, but the head of a hundred people is already a big official rank, so Long Hui can't accept that a civilian has so much power.

Therefore, the captain of a hundred people and the commander of a thousand are not set up for the time being, and when there are children of nobles, there are only ten chiefs now. Xiao Yu transferred the fourth sister-in-law Xue Sha over again, and assisted Long Hui as the No. 2 military figure in the territory. No way, it's really no one.

Then, Xiao Yu asked Long Hui if there were any good generals in some nearby territories or principalities to find a way to dig them up.

Long Hui said: "There must be some good generals in each territory and principality, but they are generally very loyal to the territory and will not be easily poached." ”

Xiao Yu took a sip of red wine, his eyes narrowed, and said, "As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down." ”

So, Xiao Yu asked Long Hui to collect the records of good generals in some nearby territories, and then prepare to dig up talents.

"Nima, what is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent. Xiao Yu learned Uncle Li's tone and was thinking about how to poach talents on a large scale.

In fact, not only military talents, but now there is a shortage of any talents in the Lion King's Leader, and all administrative work is basically taken care of by the old housekeeper alone, and he doesn't sleep until midnight every day, Xiao Yu feels distressed when he looks at it.

However, without the right people, this is the only way.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yu called his second sister-in-law Xue Han over and asked her to help Xiao Hong manage internal affairs together, and the clause that no woman can participate in politics will be invalidated.

After a period of observation, Xiao Yu found that the second sister-in-law Xue Han did have a set of management aspects, and Xiao Yu told her some of the content of Yu Shiwei's lecture.

In this way, Xiao Hong's pressure is also shared a lot, and because Xue Han is not an outsider and belongs to the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, Xiao Hong has nothing to say about it.

Sister-in-law Qi Yin usually manages some trivial matters at home, Xiao Yu directly asked Qi Yin to be responsible for managing some finances and accounts in the family, and then shared some of the pressure on the old housekeeper Xiao Hong.

In this case, Xiao Hong only needs to check whether Qi Yin's work is proper at that time, and help correct any omissions.

Xiao Yu now feels that the lion king collar has a bit of the taste of a female general of the Yang Gate.

The third sister-in-law, Kamina, saw that everyone had jobs, and she was not willing to be lonely, so she ran to Xiao Yu with Xiwen to do something.

Xiao Yu asked the two of them to assist Qi Yin and take care of the internal affairs of the family.

After combing through the administrative and military affairs of the territory, Xiao Yu also felt that his territory was slowly becoming regular, and then he wondered whether to follow the recruitment method of the Warring States Period and hang out a few recruitment lists to recruit some talents.

However, there is really nothing attractive about the territory now, and it is estimated that there will be no one to hang out, so it is better to wait for Long Hui to find some generals from other territories, and then dig a few first.

On the other hand, Xiao Yu also sent scouts to find out the movements of those bandits and see when they were ready to attack, so that they could be ready.

After being busy for more than ten days in a row, Long Hui reported the news that a general of the nearby Duchy of Wei had been squeezed out and had the possibility of being recruited.

And this general, Xiao Yu actually knew it, he used to know the general's son when he was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling in Huicheng, the capital of the Duchy of Wei.

However, the son of this general is much stronger than Xiao Yu, he is a student of the Knight Academy, and he went home to visit his relatives that time, but he ran into Xiao Yu and a group of gentlemen, had a dispute, and beat them up.

"Mu Huali, okay, I'll accept this person."

Xiao Yu said with a smile.
