"Your cultivation has returned to normal, and with your talents, it is too condescending to serve as a guard. ”

"The city lord, unyielding, is just right. ”

"Dao Hanbai, you are not a child of a high-grade family, or even a real child of a high-grade family, there are not many opportunities to reverse the fate of your life. ”

"Thank you for the city lord's care," Jiang Ning didn't know what to say, the key was that he didn't want to stay in Licheng for the rest of his life: "City Lord, my cultivation is so low......"

"What does the guard staff do? Assist the guard generals in handling paperwork, supervising accounts, and making suggestions, how many guards will go into battle shirtless and participate in battle? Who is not convinced by your wisdom, and you ask them, can they escape from the battle of Shiliang Mountain? Is it really all your luck to escape? If you are not convinced, you ask them again, even the envoys from the imperial court and the elders have expressed their appreciation for you, are they even more clever than the envoys? Your stable personality is certainly good, but you are a young man after all, and you must have some vigor at the right time. ”

"City Lord, don't say anything, I'll take the order. Jiang Ning had no choice but to say.

He went to the barracks again with the letter of appointment.

The guard is on a small hill, and in addition to General Lu Wei, there are several other generals, including Wei Shen, who already had three Wei Shen before.

They looked at this letter of appointment, except for General Lu Wei, everyone else was a little surprised.

Maybe before yesterday, more than ninety percent of the people in Licheng didn't know who Jiang Ning was, but today at least half of the people knew who Jiang Ning was. Of course, what they knew was not Jiang Ning, but Dao Hanbai.

A half-step congenital, serving as a guard?

Jiang Ning stubbornly said: "Lord Wei, everyone, my subordinates know that I am only shallow, my cultivation is low, and I am very young, so I am not qualified for the position of Wei Shen. However, the city lord ordered, and his subordinates did not dare to refuse. In this way, subordinates will not participate in military affairs such as participating in military affairs and supervising accounts. It's still like being in the city lord's mansion.,Assist the guard general and the seniors to sort out the paperwork.。 If it's not right, I hope you will bear with me. ”

What to do?

Could it be true that if you tell them that even the envoy and the other elders praise me, what qualifications do you have to question me?

Really said, on the first day of coming to Lichengwei, you will immediately set up countless enemies.

Whether convinced or not, I know each other very well.

General Lu Wei shook his head amusedly, after Jiang Ning left yesterday, Ye Chen said that this son is more than calm, and his sharpness is insufficient.

Leave it up to him.

"Sword Guard, you have come just in time, and today you have to discuss an important military matter. ”

After a while, the soldiers called the battalion generals, battalion deputies, and battalion commanders of the 37th battalion together. plus the various generals, platoon generals, and guards of the guard, a total of more than 100 people, which is equivalent to gathering all the important generals of Lichengwei.

It's just that Dao Hanqing looked at Jiang Ning blankly, which undoubtedly means to say, why are you sitting here?

Jiang Ning smiled, looked at the battalion deputy next to him again, and didn't speak.

General Lu Wei said: "Dao Wei Shen, you are the only one here who witnessed the battle of Shiliang Mountain, what do you think of the two battalions of Licheng Wei?"

In fact, this problem was reflected by Jiang Ning to Ye Chen.

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "The performance is very poor. ”

"That adopted son of the Dao family, why do you say it's very bad?" Wei Shen? Dao Hanqing wondered again, but the other broad-faced battalion general was furious. Even if it's bad, it's not something you kid can evaluate.

"What's your last name?"

"Mo He. ”

"General Mohe, I'm young, but General Mohe has forgotten where I'm from. When the attack and defense of Taiping City broke out, I secretly climbed the city wall and watched the battle on both sides. I won't talk about the tragedy of that battle, but the spirit of the soldiers on both sides who are not afraid of death is still fresh in my memory. There are also some veterans from the Battle of Taiping Castle in Lichengwei, you can also ask them. Shiliangshan encountered an enemy attack, and except for a few people in the two battalions of Licheng Guards who dared to take up arms and fight with the enemy, the rest of the people were almost crushed at the touch of a button. To put it mildly, I really don't understand it when I'm new here. But I can still see this superficial comparison. ”

The battalion general surnamed Mo He sat down in frustration.

It can't be completely compared like this, thousands of years of war, there are many veterans who have been on the battlefield many times in the offensive and defensive battles of Taiping City. The two sides have gradually played a real fire, but the current combat effectiveness of Lichengwei is indeed very poor.

General Lu Wei waved his hand to make everyone quiet: "Ten years ago, the Moon Dynasty ruled the world, many people thought that they could stop fighting, and many people relaxed down. Many veterans who had gone through actual combat were still alive, but many of them had retired from the army, and the proportion of new recruits in each barracks was more than 90 percent, and they lacked actual combat experience, and even more so, they lacked experience in vicious warfare. So the difference ...... The difference is not terrible, what I am afraid of is not knowing the difference, not knowing the difference is not terrible, the most terrible thing is knowing the difference but not daring to admit it, not daring to change. The combat effectiveness of Lichengwei is poor, and the combat effectiveness of officers and soldiers in other counties may not be strong. ”

Jiang Ning nodded silently.

A strong army is fought out, not trained by being trapped in the city. It doesn't matter if the average cultivation is high, this is an army, which requires individual courage and ability, and more importantly, the spirit of teamwork. No matter how strong the individual is, everyone else is running for their lives and playing a ball.

"Is it possible to stop fighting? Impossible. The Moon Dynasty unified the human race, but in addition to the human race, there were also the Desolate Race, the Qiang Tribe, and the Rain Tribe. Although the Moon Dynasty unified the human race, but the veterans returned, the population was sparse, and the actual combat power did not increase, but declined, and the border was not peaceful, but full of dangers. Just like this Shiliang Mountain robbery, not only the Licheng guards were killed, but even the people of the Sword Hall were killed. Once the smoke of war resumes at the border, the states, provinces and counties will be in danger. Not only could they not prevent trouble, but they could not even do basic suppression of bandits. ”

"Lord Guard, those bandits have come and gone without a trace, and they are not easy to suppress. "Many battalion generals immediately cried out.

Serious suppression of bandits, Jiang Ning didn't believe it, and looked at General Lu suspiciously.

"It's not for you to forcibly kill ......" Lu Wei asked his soldiers to bring a large map and spread it on the long table in the middle.

The north of Licheng County is Yangling County of Zhongyang Mansion of Huanzhou, and the east side is Yunhai County of Pingwei Mansion of Langzhou Prefecture, the sea of clouds is not the sea, but a big lake located on the high mountain, because it is very high, surrounded by clouds and mist, at that time people called it the sea of clouds and clouds, but it is also far away from Licheng. To the south of Licheng is the Shahe County of Pingwei Province, and to the west is the vast sand moraine and the wasteland that lives on various sand plain green islands.

Compared with other counties, Licheng should be closed a little, but it is not completely closed, there are roads leading to Yangling City, Yunhai City and Shahe City, and the mountain road in Shiliang Mountain is a section of the road to Yangling City, and there is even a more difficult road, which leads to the tribes in the depths of the sand plain in the west.

The method proposed by Lu Wei is very simple, respectively with the two roads of Shahe County and Yunhai County, there are four forts, the road in Yangling County has a Shiliang Mountain, and the trail in the west may not be as important as the other three roads, but the center of gravity of prevention, so five forts are placed.

The officers and men of the 37 th Battalion were then pulled out of the city in turn and stationed in various forts to restore the system of tuntian during the war, and to train while ploughing, not as before, but to pull the officers and men of each battalion to the deep mountains and old forests from time to time, so that there were bandits to suppress bandits and no bandits to hunt, so as to enhance the actual combat ability and coordination ability of the officers and men of each battalion.

Although it will cost a lot of money to build a military fort, but the officers and soldiers will start to cultivate the fields, and they will save a lot of grain and grass every year, and the city lord's mansion will continue to pay the salaries of the officers and soldiers of each battalion, but the remaining grain and grass, as well as the income from hunting, the city lord's mansion will send people to exchange them for some cultivation resources, and then return these resources to each officer and soldier according to their income. As for those who perform well, the City Lord's Mansion will also have additional rewards, including providing some good exercises.

Everyone looked at each other.

I can't say it's bad, but the question is that the soldiers of Lichengwei are used to staying in the city, and they suddenly go to the suburbs to farm and train, can they adapt?

First of all, the new battalion generals who have just entered the army feel miserable.

One of them asked, "Lord Guard, what about the families of the soldiers?"

"This is easy to solve, the rotation time is once every six months, and the two battalions are jointly responsible for a military fort, in addition to the income from hunting and farming, the soldiers of the two battalions share it together, and they are also allowed to take their families to the suburbs. In addition, when cultivating wasteland, a separate piece of land will be cultivated by the families of each soldier, and of course, the income also belongs to them, and has nothing to do with the castle lord's mansion, so they do not have to bear any taxes. ”

Those who refuse to endure hardship have to wait for death.

Dare to think about it all.

Some generals were still reluctant, General Lu Wei glanced at everyone, and said: "This is not the decision of the city lord's mansion, but the central decree of the imperial court, not only Licheng County, but all the prefectures, prefectures and counties that are in contact with the barren clan, will take this measure." ”

So what else to say?

General Lu Wei said: "That's it, think about it, where are these eighteen forts built. ”

Everyone looked at the map.

Jiang Ning also looked at the map, on the surface, it seemed that what General Lu Wei said, more or less, it could enhance the actual combat ability of the soldiers of each battalion, at least a large number of old fritter soldiers in each battalion who were eating and waiting for death were beaten back to their original form at once.

It was impossible to exterminate all the bandits, but it served as a deterrent, at least to further protect the safety of a few trade routes. The suburbs are still unsafe, but the business road is safe, which is more in line with the wishes of the county.

It can also check a large number of people of unknown origin, if the Yue Dynasty takes this measure very early, those enemies will not want to sneak into Shiliang Mountain without knowing it.

The human race is unified, the threat has become external, the biggest threat is undoubtedly the desolate race, the strengthening of the power of the border plug, not only is it prepared, in case there is a large-scale invasion of the desolate race, it can also delay the speed of the desolate invasion, leaving more time for the rear to prepare, after all, there is the prophecy of the Tianji Pavilion, and those who know will be worried.

But that's all?

Jiang Ning looked at General Lu Wei, General Lu also knew that Jiang Ning was suspicious, except for himself, only Jiang Ning knew that the escort was the five coffins that sealed the five ancestors of the Desolate Clan. He shook his head and motioned to Jiang Ning not to talk too much, but said again: "Dao Wei Shen, you have cultivated the "Licheng Geography", and you have personally inspected many suburban terrains, do you have a high opinion?"
