Chapter 179: Raising Soldiers

As the territory expanded, the number of slaves increased, and it was natural to expand the army.

The Qianghu were unusually enthusiastic.

However, given the high proportion of Qianghu in the army, Yang Zheng wanted to increase the number of Han troops.

However, in Xiping, which has settled down, the Han people generally live well, they want to have a house, a field, a cow to plough the field, a horse to walk, marry two or three Qiang Hu mothers-in-law, give birth to four or five cubs, raise seven or eight pigs and sheep, not to mention how warm the life is.

As long as you are not lazy, the diligent Hermes-Epitek has the best life.

Some of the clever ones have started businesses in the city.

Liquor shops, restaurants, butchers, pawnshops, etc.

Overcrowded.

Some people also deliberately opened a liquor shop near the barracks and made a lot of money.

The richest people in Xiping City are naturally soldiers.

It is not easy to want these children of the Han family who can live a life to come out and become soldiers.

Yang Zheng didn't pay so much attention to it, and directly overlord made a bow, and ordered the whole county Hanmin, eight dings to draw one, more than seventeen, and less than forty.

In the Warring States Period, there were all kinds of wars, and when they encountered the Great War of the All-Conquering Country, even men from all over the country pounced.

Wu Shuwei is roughly one out of ten and one out of nine.

The biggest problem these years is eating.

However, with a knife in your hand, you can eat with peace of mind.

Hermes-Epitek enjoys the treatment of governing the people, so it naturally has to bear obligations.

Yang Zheng also didn't want his own tribe to become a fat sheep without the power to restrain chickens, which was extremely dangerous.

The order was issued, and the guard battalion carried knives and braved the wind and snow to "recruit" the whole county.

I have to say that Du pre-service has a high level.

In the three counties of Xiping, how many families, how many fields, and how many Qianghu are all registered.

According to the map, things are naturally not difficult to do.

If it is icy and snowy, you can't escape into the mountains like before.

Yang Zheng repeatedly emphasized being kind to the people, and the pro-guard battalion was also very friendly, carrying knives to block the major exits of the village, and going door-to-door to raise people according to the roster.

The guard camp is kind and friendly, but the Han people in the northwest are not good at it, carrying forks, wooden sticks, and kitchen knives openly and stubbornly.

But the arms can't twist the thighs after all.

The guard battalion is covered in armor, and it has not been experienced in a hundred battles, and there are more than a dozen battles, and it is no problem to deal with them.

A team of Han people were "invited" back to the Western Capital.

Yang Zheng didn't treat them badly, and he served them with beef and mutton as soon as he came up.

The boys hummed and chirped for two days, and then they were relieved.

However, a problem was gradually exposed in front of Yang Zheng.

Qianghu's support for Yang Zheng was much higher than that of the local Han people.

Especially Qin Hu, in order to become a soldier, they all made trouble in front of the captain's mansion, and thousands of Qin Hu were young and strong.

"Does the general dislike us and others?"

"I'm not a barbarian, but after Great Qin."

The noise shook the sky.

Yang Zheng believes that they really support themselves.

But Qianghu, who was following them, was a little sneaky.

Noisy and noisy to join the army.

From white-haired old men in their sixties to children of eight or nine years old with snot.

Yang Zheng knew their thoughts.

Many Qianghu soldiers went out to conquer the Great and Small Elm Valley and Longqi City, and when they came back, they had already become rich people.

It can't help but cause other people's eyes to blush.

In Qianghu's eyes, plunder is far more attractive than farming.

Since they have such great enthusiasm, Yang Zheng is unwilling to live up to them.

However, the requirements for the quality of the soldiers are higher.

Those who are more than seven feet tall, have big hands and thick feet, and are loyal in appearance are preferred.

In just a few days, the Western Capital expanded its army by 9,357 people.

The Han army was 4,500 people, the Qin Hu army was 1,600 people, and the rest were Qianghu.

The number of troops under his command directly reached more than 24,000.

If there is only one Xiping County, these troops are enough.

But at present, Yang Zheng's territory includes the land of the meandering river, as well as the entire Xihai Lake.

If they are dispersed, it will still be difficult to effectively control the places of Fuluochuan, Mohe River, and Dafeichuan, as well as the grassland salt lake.

Fortunately, this year's harvest is no longer a problem.

Ye Wudai can raise thirty or forty thousand cavalry with the West Sea Grassland.

Midang holds the large and small elm valleys, raising two or three hundred thousand people and one hundred thousand elite soldiers.

The land in his hands is three or four times more than the two of them, and it should not be difficult to get thirty or forty thousand soldiers.

Moreover, except for the personal guard battalion, the soldiers of the other battalions were to graze and reclaim.

Yang Zheng has not forgotten another group - slaves.

Many slaves were originally prisoners of the battlefield, able to ride horses and shoot arrows, and almost all of them were young and strong.

But for them, it's not a random recruitment.

It's based on your usual performance, plus your own situation.

The entire Xiping slaves combined were more than 60,000.

Seven thousand men were picked and picked.

Yang Zheng's troops instantly reached 32,000 people.

It's almost enough.

Any more will seriously reduce the combat power.

Reebok, Xiaocai, and Guards were each expanded to 10,000 people.

Zhao Deng's remnant camp also expanded to more than 3,000 people.

And he almost became a legend in Xiping, and a thousand remnants of soldiers dared to raid the river valley where nearly 10,000 people burned Dangqiang.

The ferocity and cruelty of the methods frightened the Qiang people.

As soon as there were more troops, the armor rate declined.

Even leather armor can't be fully braided.

Originally, an elite soldier of the personal guard battalion was equipped with a ring head knife or a horse chopping knife, a crossbow machine or a pair of bows and arrows, a spear or shield, a set of iron armor and leather armor, and a water bladder.

Cold forging armor is only equipped with Yang Zheng's personal soldiers or officers.

Now many of the recruits stood in the cold wind with only one spear in their hands.

made Yang Zheng feel shabby.

However, compared to the days when he couldn't even afford to wear clothes in Zaohan, the current situation is not too bad.

Difficulties are always temporary.

Yang Zheng attaches more importance to the mental state of the soldiers.

The training was in full swing in the wind and snow.

The old pawns are experienced, and no matter how stubborn the thorns are, they will be treated in three or two days.

In those days, there was no such thing as forbidding corporal punishment of soldiers.

There are filial sons under the sticks, and good soldiers under the sticks.

In order to prevent the recruits from being abused, Yang Zheng sent his own soldiers to secretly investigate the battalions.

really found out more than a dozen black sheep.

He was beaten with a stick in front of the recruits.

No matter how hard the training is, the recruits can gradually adapt to the fact that they can eat a full meal during the day, eat a piece of meat and drink a bowl of soup at night.

The recruit training was on the right track, and Yang Zheng handed it over to Zhou Yu.

The generals of the cold winter, a large number of old people and children appeared out of nowhere in Xiping City, as well as poor people who lost their hands and feet.

Huddled at the foot of the city walls, shivering.

Every day there are people who freeze to death.

In the past, Yang Zheng himself was poor and drank the northwest wind, so naturally he couldn't control them.

But now it's different, and with food, you have confidence.

There are some things, whether to do or not to do, the people see it.

A series of battles pushed Yang Zheng's prestige to the top.

It's time to accumulate some yin virtue.

A nursing home was opened in the south of the city to take in orphans, the elderly, and the disabled.

The children were sent to the Dongcheng Youth Camp.

Today's youth camp is presided over by Yang Zheng.

Regardless of Hanyi, as long as the child is under the age of 14, he is recruited into the youth camp.

Yang Zheng will not know the Four Books and Five Classics, but the Spring and Autumn Warring States, the Chu and Han Struggles, and the Han-Hungarian War are known.

However, Shu Han is still waving his flag and shouting in the south, and the story of the Han can only be put aside first, focusing on the Warring States and Great Qin.

There are no entertainment activities these days, either pornography, or gambling, and it is not easy to hear stories.

Yang Zheng will naturally mix in a lot of his own opinions, create the concept of Huaxia, and try to blur Cao Wei's influence.
