As soon as the battalions were basically formed, they were put into training.

Li Yue has always followed that survival is the best training.

The soldiers went up the mountain to hunt, went into the water to fish, and their footprints traveled all over Mount Tai from Heiyun Mountain, sometimes deep into the Qingxu realm.

As long as the black cloud and red flag are raised, the defenders of all states and counties will not dare to act rashly.

And the Black Cloud Army did not plunder them, not even the ripe grain in the fields was touched, only hunted wild beasts.

The people of Qingxu naturally applauded.

In the troubled times, the wild beasts are very evil, and the livestock do not eat, and they are bent on sneaking up on the village and killing humans.

There was once a scout who saw a beast in the north of the water, rat-like, red-haired, the size of a cow or horse, with front paws like a hook, catching floating corpses in the water for food, and the scouts wanted to shoot it, but this thing got into the water and disappeared......

Hunting again and again also made the Wubao and counties in the Qingxu region trust the Black Cloud Army.

A group of thieves gathered in the east mountain of Gaoshan County, Linhuai County, there were four or five thousand people, often went down the mountain to loot, the people suffered deeply, the county was unbearable, but they were powerless to exterminate, and saw that the black cloud army passing by did not commit any crimes, so they tried to ask for help.

The 500 guerrilla battalions passing by made a decisive attack, swept away the thieves on the mountain with a raised hand, and captured more than 2,000 prisoners back to Yanzhou.

This move immediately won praise from all over Qingxu.

So much so that later, when something happened in various places, he directly sent someone to Lu Jun to find Cui Jin for help.

Jimo and Zhu'a Er Counties of Qingzhou, Jinan County, next to Taishan County, did not seek Jinan Taishou due to water source disputes, but went directly south to Lu County to let Cui Jin resolve the dispute......

The Zhao army of Qingxu and the officials appointed by Zhao gradually became ornaments.

Although the Black Cloud Army did not occupy these areas, its influence and soft power continued to increase.

At the beginning of the battle in Lu County, the momentum of the Black Cloud Army was launched.

In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, and Yanzhou is busy, and the joy of harvest is everywhere.

Zhou's busy feet did not touch the ground, and even the Black Cloud Army assisted in harvesting.

Li Yue carried a sickle and pretended to be in the field for a day, motivating and motivating morale, and then became idle, just using this time to perfect the system of military merit.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was already a military merit system, the Qin State Shang Martingale changed the law only to improve it, from the public to the marquis, divided into 20 levels, at the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, one after another, Emperor Wu attached importance to military merit, attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and placed the "Martial Arts Jue" eleven levels.

The great martial arts of the Qin and Han dynasties were inseparable from military merits.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the implementation of the system of inspection and requisition, as well as the implementation of the conscription system, military merit has little to do with ordinary soldiers.

The military merit lords below the eighteenth rank tended to decline, and only the Marquis of Guannai and the Liehou were left as ministers and nobles.

Later, due to the indiscriminate sealing, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, the number of princes continued to increase, and the land and Ding households were not enough to be rewarded, and they were divided into three kinds of county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis, and the county marquis still ate the county, and the township marquis and the pavilion only ate the rent tax of a township and a pavilion.

This also led to the unprecedented growth of the noble clan.

Sima Yan established the country, and sealed 50 kings and more than 500 princes......

The road to promotion for ordinary soldiers to kill the enemy on the battlefield was basically blocked, so there was a huge gap between the army in the Wei and Jin dynasties and the Qin and Han dynasties.

The soldiers of the Qin and Han dynasties were happy to hear the war, and they were proud of serving in the army, and in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the rising channel of the soldiers was blocked, and the people were unwilling to join the army, so the scholars began to appear, that is, the later military households, forcibly assigned by the government, and the children fought in the army for generations, and the status was extremely low, and the ordinary people were unwilling to marry their daughters to them, so they could only intermarry with each other, which was no different from slaves.

Therefore, when the Five Hu were chaotic, the Jin army was weakened and rotten to the extreme from top to bottom.

How could a group of anointed sons from the Shi clan lead a group of military slaves to beat the brutal Hu people?

The five Hu enemies of the Han Dynasty during the Xiong Han Dynasty have become a legend for a long time.

If Heiyun Mountain wants to drive out the slaves and restore the rivers and mountains, it can't just shout slogans, it needs to open up the ascent channel of the soldiers and stimulate their enthusiasm for killing the enemy.

Li Yue directly restored the 20-level military merit system in the Qin and Han dynasties.

This set of things has been tested in actual combat and has also adapted to the current situation, and innovation can be done later, but now it is to establish the system first and start from scratch.

From top to bottom, the name has been slightly modified, and it is divided into the upper guard, the young guard, the big chief, the chariot chief, the big up, the little up, the right more, the middle more, the left more, the right long, the left long, the five doctors, the public passenger, the public doctor, the official doctor, the doctor, the no change, the hairpin, the upper building, and the public scholar.

The above guards and young guards replaced the Liehou and Guannei Hou, after all, Li Yue did not have the power to be a marquis now.

In this way, it can also distinguish military meritorious lords from nobles and officials.

In fact, these Qin and Han lords are followed by corresponding rewards, such as Gongshi, Tian Yiqing (Han and Wei are one hundred acres), one house, and one slave.

Shangzao can get two hectares of land, with three cows, and two people.

Go up in that order.

If you don't change it, you can avoid the meaning of changing soldiers (soldiers who serve in turn).

With the current conditions in Yanzhou, the field is not a problem, the wild barren fields are everywhere, and there are no slaves for the time being, but Hebei is full of Hu people, and the chaos in Hebei is imminent, and there will be opportunities in the future.

The cow was changed to a mule and a donkey by Li Yue, there is no way, the cow is more expensive, and donkeys are everywhere.

After finding out, Li Yue took it to ask Chang Wei's opinion.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this policy is the foundation of the hegemony!" Chang Wei was amazed.

Since the rise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been few direct rewards.

The roads were blocked by them.

In the chaotic war of the Three Kingdoms, very few people were killed directly from the army, and there were only a few people such as Wei Yan and Ding Feng, and the vast majority of them were either from strong backgrounds, had their own subordinates, or followed the right eldest brother.

The one who really represents the bottom is the Yellow Turban Army.

The fierce general began with the army, and the prime minister began with the state pastor.

During the Warring States Period, Han Feizi had such a discussion.

Sometimes Li Yue felt that the decline of the Sima family and the chaos of the five chaos were inevitable, and the problems continued to accumulate, and when he met the Sima family who did not want to make progress, it broke out in a concentrated manner......

"In the Central Plains, there is no danger to defend, only to inspire the soldiers and meet the enemies of the Quartet!" Li Yue was also forced to do nothing.

There is no geographical advantage, so we can only work people's hearts.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and there are not a few forces that have risen from the Central Plains in history.

The Central Plains have the disadvantages of the Central Plains, but also have their advantages.

The idea in Li Yue's heart is also becoming clearer and clearer.

Chang Wei smiled slightly, "The solidity of mountains and rivers is not in danger in people's hearts, and this law is in line with the current situation!" ”

The essence of this military merit system is to redistribute land through military merits, and fundamentally break the monopoly of the nobles on the land.

Chang Wei did not object, and Li Yue sent people to Lu County and Yuncheng to ask Cui Jin and Liu Qi for their opinions.

Cui Jin and Li Yue have a heart-to-heart and let Li Yue implement it as soon as possible.

However, Liu Qi sent a letter to remind Li Yue to recuperate, not to use military force, now is the critical time to accumulate strength, this strategy, the army must be people to fight, no one is at ease to farm, persuade Li Yue to wait until the chaos in Hebei before implementation, will be able to stimulate morale, in order to achieve miraculous results.

The words are quite pertinent.

Ginger is still old and spicy, and no matter how good the strategy is, it also needs the right timing.

"Liu Gong's words are old and seek the country!" Li Yue gladly accepted and postponed the implementation.

There is something to do, and the two have been updated recently......
