Chapter 10: It was OK back then, and it will be OK this time

Jiang Hua wore armor, knelt on the chariot, the railing around him was full of armor, and the county lieutenant Yan personally drove to the military camp in the north of the city under the attention of everyone.

"It seems, I remember that thirty years ago, when the old monarch died and the first doctor succeeded to the throne, this was the scene!"

"Yes, at that time, the old monarch and the big demon that suddenly came out died together, and the first monarch hurriedly returned from overseas, and the first monarch was wearing this set of armor at that time, and he circled around the city three times inside and outside the city, it really looks like!"

"It was possible back then, and it must be possible this time!"

"Yes, yes, this time it will be fine!"

In the midst of everyone's discussions, Jiang Hua came to the camp outside the city, and at a glance, soldiers wearing armor entered the camp one after another. These soldiers, one after another, some had a long rank, as many as two or three hundred, and some had a shorter rank, only thirty or fifty people.

Seeing Jiang Hua, everyone clasped their fists and saluted: "Meet the young gentleman!" ”

In this era, the relationship between monarchs and ministers is more like that of partners. Everyone will come and go, and if they don't come, they will disperse. Most of them speak freely, and the etiquette is very simple.

Bow on your knees, very rarely. Only when worshipping the heavens, worshipping the ancestors and the succession of Zhou Tianzi to the throne will there be a ceremony of kneeling on the ground. Other times, getting down on one knee is already a big gift. It is usually the monarch who gives the vassal territory, and the vassal kneels on one knee as a sign of loyalty.

As for the soldiers in front of them, they are just soldiers who are paid and salute with their fists folded. However, in this day and age, there are not many places that are willing to pay soldiers. Therefore, the soldiers still cherish this job very much.

"These soldiers are all county soldiers. The soldiers in Yancheng are roughly divided into three categories, the first type is the township soldiers in the township, who are mainly responsible for maintaining order and regularly clearing the nearby wild beasts. Sometimes, there may be a sudden tidal wave of aura somewhere, and after one night, there are many more huge beasts there. ”

In the 36 townships of Yancheng, there are 300 township soldiers and 600 township soldiers, adding up to more than 10,000 soldiers. Silently looking at the roster in front of him, Jiang Hua continued to listen to the introduction of the county lieutenant Yan.

"The second type is the county soldiers, who draw the elite from the township soldiers and recruit them from the county seats. The county soldiers are mainly responsible for defending important places such as the county seat, Dashiguan, and ports. ”

The county soldiers are very capable of fighting, but they are very expensive, and Yancheng only raises 5,000 in peacetime. However, county soldiers can be used for ten years at most, so in an emergency, it is no problem to recruit veterans and gather 10,000 soldiers and horses.

"The third category is the personal guard, which is personally in charge of the first doctor. The personal guard is self-contained, and the young gentleman should know better than the old man. ”

Yancheng invests a lot of money in the guards every year, so in the eyes of outsiders, the guards are undoubtedly very powerful. But Jiang Hua knew that about half of the resources in the guards were invested in Dongning Island overseas, and a considerable part of the guards died in the national capital together with the first doctor, and the current guards were not much stronger than empty shelves.

"In addition, Yancheng also has a Taoist palace. Many Taoists are named in the Taoist temple, and when they encounter demons and monsters, they will take the initiative to subdue demons and eliminate demons. This part is in charge of the Changkong Dao people, and the minister doesn't know much. ”

On weekdays, the county Weiyan, the county Chengyu and the leader of the Daoist Changkong Daoren, the three of them are the three most powerful people in Yancheng.

But at this moment, it has been more than half a day since the death of the first doctor, but the people of the Long Sky Dao are still nowhere to be seen, and many people have thoughts about it.

Some people think that the people of Changkong Dao may think that the monarch is powerful, so they ran away. From this, they came to the conclusion that the Taoist is not credible.

Considering this situation, Jiang Hua took the initiative to explain: "Uncle Shi is inviting friends, at this critical moment, every friend and every strength is very important. ”

A moment later, the chariot came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Chenxian Wei Yan ......"

"The ...... of the Ministers"

"Minister's Army Sima ......"

A long, long time ago, the military system in the world was all the Zhou system, and the emphasis was on five people, five soldiers for two, four two for pawns, five pawns for brigades, five brigades for divisions, five divisions for armies, one army of 12,500 people, and the Son of Heaven controlled six armies, a total of 75,000 people.

But soon the princes found out that this military system was not suitable for everyone. Those who are very stubborn and resolutely refuse to reform the system have suffered big losses, and some have even been destroyed by the big demons.

In the end, the princes changed their military system one after another, and how to suit themselves and how to come. Chaoguo is no exception, and it is this flexible bottom line that makes the princes stronger and stronger.

Therefore, the bottom line of the Jiang family in Yancheng is also very flexible. Today's military system in Yancheng is based on multiples of two and five.

Five people are set up as a captain, and ten people are set up as a chief.

Fifty people set up a team rate, and 100 people set up a tun chief.

500 people set up an army marquis, 1,000 people set up an army Sima.

Above the military Sima is the school captain, but the school captain is the position of the Yancheng doctors in the past dynasties, even if it is the county captain Yan, he is just a military horse. It's just that he, the military commander, supervises the entire army.

"Ministers ......"

"Warlock ......"

In addition to the officers, Jiang Hua also saw the unique Taoist group in Yancheng. Today, the Taoist people have long been deeply integrated with Yancheng, regardless of each other, and even in the core army, there are Taoist figures.

The main role of these Taoists is to hold the magic weapon that has been refined long ago, and act as eyes and ears. In times of war, they can use treasures in time, receive military orders from their superiors, and cast spells and conduct reconnaissance when necessary.

"Meet the young gentleman!"

Everyone knelt on one knee together, and some even directly buckled their foreheads to the ground, Jiang Hua sat on the throne of the camp and accepted this salute, which can be regarded as a monarch and minister.

"Gentlemen, please rise."

As the first order given by Jiang Hua, everyone obeyed. No matter how much you usually prick your head, no one shows it at such a time.

"Today, Shaojun is here to observe the next Sun Tian raid on Dashiguan." County Weiyan introduced.

"I'm just here to observe, what do you think, even if you implement it, everyone speaks freely, and this time it will never be a crime of speech." Jiang Hua said directly.

County Wei Yan arched his hand towards Jiang Hua, and looked at everyone: "Go to the sand table!" ”

A warlock walked out, took a crystal and began to cast a spell, and after a few breaths, the colorless and transparent crystal automatically floated in the air, and the terrain near the Great Stone Pass began to appear inside.

At first, there was only Dashiguan itself, and after a few breaths, the entire camp was filled with the terrain near Dashiguan, and the officers who had been prepared for a long time also began to look for key points in the dynamic projection in front of them.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Hua couldn't help but nodded. The construction of the army in Yancheng was indeed unexpected, although there were many shortcomings, but there were also many bright spots.
