Chapter 21: Forming an Army

"Okay, don't mess around, listen to me. He who had been a soldier stood at my right hand. Those who had not been soldiers stood on my left-hand side.

Do not quarrel, or I will disqualify you from being a soldier".

Li Yun got up from the chair and said slowly.

Although Li Yun's voice was not loud, it could be clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.

Li Yun asked Wang to register ordinary people to enlist in the army, and he himself registered those who had served as soldiers before, after all, these people were the ones who could really work in a short period of time.

This world is the same as the Ming Dynasty, but it is a little different. Most of the local armies in the Ming Dynasty needed to be tuntian, and the military sound was obtained from tuntian. In other words, many soldiers had to cultivate and take on the day-to-day responsibility of defending against foreign enemies.

Military salaries in this world need to be financed from local and central appropriations. Li Yun is ready to combine the two. A part of the soldiers was assigned to engage in farming and low-intensity training. Most of the soldiers only trained on weekdays, and then fended off and attacked foreign enemies.

"What's your name? How old is it? Where did you serve as a soldier before? What does it do? Where do you live? There are several people in the family......... A handyman sitting next to Li Yun kept asking every person who enlisted.

The registration process proceeded slowly and methodically.

"My name is Niu Er, I am 36 years old this year, and I used to be the adjutant of the Wei Commander. The family lives in Liangyuan Township, and there are eight people in the family. I'm the third oldest in the family." A veteran who was conscripted into the army attracted Li Yun's attention.

As the saying goes, "What's most important in the 21st century?" ~~Talent"

Although Li Yun is reorganizing the army, Li Yun thinks that he is not this material, and he is teasing a big girl, and the little daughter-in-law can do it herself, let herself manage the army, and it is a bit of a duck to be put on the shelf

Li Yun didn't know what Niu Er's previous behavior was, and looking at the evil qi on his body, he couldn't prove anything. As long as they are soldiers, who has not killed anyone?

"Why didn't you quit the army in the first place"? Li Yun looked at Niu Er and asked

"The imperial court and local government can't pay the military salary, and they don't have money to eat. The brothers have all found their own way out, and I don't want to follow the commander of Wei to go up to the mountains to become a bandit. I went home to farm", Niu Er looked at Li Yun

"Whether you're right or not, I'll trust you. Don't worry, as long as you serve me faithfully, I won't be able to do you a loss."

"Lord Xie, Niu Er must be the work of dogs and horses."

"Well, let's register first!"

The registration of the soldiers took almost two hours. It was getting dark.

"Alas, I don't know what kind of wind this lord is doing? How come I haven't seen it before"?

"Why don't you ask," quipped the man next to him.

"Forget it, the beating is small, what should I do if I am fined."

"But then the army was formed. It seems that our life is not good, and we have to pay a lot of taxes again. ”

"Yes! Who's to say it's not"?

"Why did they go to the army? As the saying goes, good iron does not hit nails, good men are not soldiers, they become soldiers, they are scolded all day long, and their ancestors can't hold their heads up."

There was a lot of talk in the bazaar.

Li Yun noticed that this group of people who had served as soldiers before lowered their heads in shame, it seems that their military discipline was not very good in the past, and they were not loved by the people.

After the registration work was completed, everyone lined up and slowly walked to a square that Li Yun had prepared in advance in the county office.

Standing on the high platform that had been built, Li Yun was wearing an armor made of gold that was made by craftsmen in Guobei County overnight.

With the evening breeze, the cloak behind him slowly floated.

The rays of the setting sun hit the armor and shone so brightly that it was impossible to look at it directly. Coupled with a knife, it is a contemporary hero.

"Listen, everybody, from this day forward, you are soldiers. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and if you violate military discipline, you will not be spared."

"Yes, sir."

"Below, all those who are read in the list are listed

Niu Er, Zhao Shishi, Zhou Zheng, Feng Gang, Guo Shidan"

"Now, let me tell you about the establishment of our army. It is no longer the same as the previous establishment of your army, and the new army should have a new look. Detailed information will be sent to you later."

The main reason is that Li Yun is too lazy to understand the establishment of the world's army, so it is better to let them follow their own ideas.

The rank and rank of the government or the army in his original world are very simple and clear. Therefore, Li Yun borrowed it.

Li Yun has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, so he takes the whole number.

"Your branch of the army is the army, and the lowest level of the army is a squad, with ten people in each squad. There is a squad leader and a deputy squad leader.

Each platoon has five squads of 50 people per platoon, with a platoon commander and deputy platoon leader

Each company has five platoons, each with 250 men, and a company commander and deputy company commander

Each battalion has five companies, each with 1,250 men, and a battalion commander and deputy battalion commander

Each regiment had three battalions, each with 3,450 men, and a regimental commander and deputy regimental commander. Each regiment has three direct companies

Due to the limited manpower we have at the moment, we have only recruited two or three thousand people. Now you people are officially organized into the 1st Army, the 1st Regiment. The rest of the establishment levels will be communicated by your superiors after the meeting is dismissed.

Now I officially order Niu Er to be the commander of the first regiment, Zhao Shishi to be the deputy commander of the first regiment, Zhou Zheng to be the commander of the first battalion, Feng Gang to be the commander of the second battalion, and Guo Shidan to be the commander of the third battalion.

For each rank, there is a political commissar. The commissar of each rank is half a rank above the top leader of that rank.

He will focus on discipline and ideological work, and will not be appointed for the time being due to the current manpower problem.

The appointment of the remaining officers was made by Niu Er".

Li Yunchong fully considered that Niu Er had to cultivate his cronies, otherwise, this newly formed army would not be able to obey Niu Er's command.

"Thank you, sir. The subordinates are determined to work as dogs and horses, and they will never give up", these people who were appointed by Li Yun shouted excitedly

"Well, don't call me Lord in the future, call me Marshal. You are not under the control of the government, you are under my direct leadership."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, I've been busy for most of the day, let's eat first."

As he spoke, Li Yun ordered his subordinates to bring up buckets of meat and rice.

"Everyone eats with an open belly, and the meat and vegetables are enough."

"Brothers, thank you, Marshal", Niu Er shouted loudly

"Thank you, Marshal, thank you, Marshal,"

Li Yun sat down with his newly appointed subordinate officers.

"Marshal, I toast you. Thank you for your nurturing and trust." Niu Er picked up his wine glass and stood up

"Okay, I'll have a drink with you."

"My lord, there are a few questions I don't know if to ask or not", Niu Er asked Li Yun respectfully after drinking

"But it doesn't hurt to say",

Enjoying the respect of thousands of people, Li Yun was a little fluttery at the moment. It is no wonder that cultivators don't care about political affairs, but only control the life and death of thousands of people, this kind of visual impact is very fascinating.

"Marshal, where do we, the soldiers, live? Where did so much military pay come from? To be honest, what's the use of raising so many soldiers in this small county town"?

I have commanded the bricklayers and carpenters to build you camps on the outskirts of the city. As for military pay. I still have a little bit of stock, and in the long run, I do have to figure it out.

As for what you say is the use of raising so many soldiers? You'll know when the time comes."

"It's the marshal, and the humble position understands."

Li Yun looked at the strong man standing beside him who had been talking to him

"Chen Benniu, how about being my personal guard"?

"Hehe, as long as you take care of the food, I'll do it". Stupid Niu was standing next to Li Yun at the moment, holding two roast chickens in his hands, and said vaguely.

"Rest assured, you can be sure that you will have enough to eat at every meal".

"Okay, I promised you". The stupid cow wiped the oil on his hand and said stupidly.

Li Yun found that Ben Niu was a malleable talent, because he was a zombie, and although he had intentionally controlled his corpse qi, he still exuded a faint chill.

The people around him tried to sit as far away from him as possible, and his subordinates did not dare to show anything strange because of their majesty.

And the stupid cow stood beside him, not feeling the slightest discomfort, and the faint corpse qi he exuded was actually consciously avoiding the yang energy on Niu Er's body.
