Chapter 653: Recruitment
However, the people brought back by the two were only more than 9,000 people when they got together with the original people, and the Xuanjia army was less than 10,000 people.
Li Yue, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess, can only make do with it first.
Soldiers are not expensive, but they are expensive.
More than 9,000 well-equipped cavalry are enough, and Huo Quzhi, Li Jing, and Su Dingfang sent troops to the grassland, which is also this scale.
Li Ling's five thousand Jingxiang foot soldiers killed the Huns, and the ghosts cried wolves.
When the time comes, it will be enough to match some black cloud rides.
Don't look at Tuoba Shiyi's vigorous movement and claim to be hundreds of thousands of riders, how many people can really fight?
Murong Chui's 8,000 men defeated Yao Chang's tens of thousands of Qiang troops.
Deng Yao's 7,000 people broke Huanwen's "150,000 army......
In a big war, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 troops who can fight.
Just like the Black Cloud Elite of the Liang Kingdom, although there are more than 100,000 people, every time they attack, the scale is only 50,000, and not all of them are put into the war.
How many people in the world can withstand the impact of 9,000 cavalry?
Li Yue inspected the newly recruits, and sure enough, like Murong Ling and Fu Shao, they were skilled in bow horses, and they also knew the temperament of war horses very well, and they were familiar with a raw horse in their hands in a few clicks.
"What will you do?" Murong Ling brought a humane.
In front of Li Yue, this person cowered, and his appearance was as strange as his name.
The Chinese dialect also says that it is not good to ask for it, "small, small people, will search for water sources according to the footprints of wild beasts......"
But Li Yue's eyes lit up, this is a talent.
"Mu Duhiko, what will you do?" Murong Ling brought another person.
"In the early years, the young people followed the adults as merchants, and they were familiar with the customs, languages, and ......"
Li Yue's eyes lit up, knowing why Murong Ling had been gone for half a year, it turned out that he had gone to dig treasures.
"Among these people are veterinarians, Huns who know the terrain of the steppe, and Orions!" Murong Ling was young after all, and he asked Li Yue for credit with a proud face.
"Haha, he swept away the country one day, and you are the first to do it."
After becoming Weng's son-in-law, the relationship between the two grew by leaps and bounds.
As the folk saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son-in-law, and it is true.
"If the minister has a reluctant request, I hope Your Majesty will agree." Murong Ling completely lost his previous restraints.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Yue was in a good mood, the Xuanjia Army took the Huaxia soldiers as the core combat force, Xianbei and the Xiongnu as guides and veterinarians, and this cavalry killed on the grassland, I don't know what kind of scene it was.
The biggest problem with the conquest of the grassland is not that it can't be defeated, but that it can't find people.
The grassland is very large, from south to north, from Liaodong to the west of the Western Regions, and the territory is actually far above the Middle Earth.
With Li Yue's understanding of geography, whoever controls the grassland will control the world.
This world is not an acre and a third of land in the east, but a real world!
"He will go out to conquer the country, please be the vanguard, and he will seal the wolf Juxu, and Yan Ran will be stoned!" Murong Ling arched his hand.
"Son, son, also want to be a pioneer!" Fu Shao also gave up.
"Hahaha, Huo Quai, who wants to be my beam? Its ambition is commendable, and it is accurate! Li Yue saw a little bit of Murong Ke's shadow in Murong Ling, heroic and unstoppable.
Fu Shao is a little worse, but he is also a middle-class asset, and he is skilled in arching horses.
"The warriors who have been recruited back, let the others go first, and change their names to Chinese surnames." Li Yue really can't stand these messy names.
Registering in the military is also troublesome.
The surnames Murong, Dugu, Huyan, and Yuwen are acceptable.
But what kind of car or deer, I really can't get on the table, and I can't remember.
If you want to merge them, the name is the first step.
"Father, rest assured, the son will personally supervise it!" Influenced by Fu Shao, Murong Ling also changed his words.
"The two of you go to Shangwutang to pick some disciples to assist you, be sure to let them eat and drink well, live well, and I will never treat the soldiers who fight for the Great Liang badly."
"Command!"
The two of them went away in a hurry.
Although there are Murong Ling and Fu Shao, there are still a few generals who need to be in charge.
Zhang Oyster is too murderous, and ordinary people can't suppress him.
Li Yue retreated and transferred the fierce generals of the younger generation such as Lu Guang, Liu Gaozhi, Zhuge Kan, and Gao Heng into it to form the sharpest spear of Daliang.
The younger you are, the more motivated you are and the desire to make a difference.
In terms of training, Li Yue didn't have to worry at all, there were many black cloud veterans in the Xuanjia army, and the corpses rolled out of the sea of blood.
As long as these Huns, Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, and Di people adapt to the rhythm of the Black Cloud Army.
Another issue is equipment.
The output of Mingguang armor has never been able to rise, even if there is a preliminary assembly line, a set of Mingguang armor needs a long time to polish and stitch.
However, many of the newly recruited cavalrymen are not used to wearing this, dozens of pounds of things, their thin bodies can't bear it, and they only like to wear leather armor to facilitate their riding and shooting.
Li Yue let it go, one side of the water and soil to support the other side, and everything has a process of adaptation.
Anyway, what really relied on the six thousand black cloud elites.
But in this way, it weakened the combat power of the Xuanjia Army.
Tuoba Shiyijian made a windfall in Mobei, after the strength grew, the grassland tribes came to invest, the strength has grown a lot, hundreds of thousands of horses are certainly not, but there must be 70,000 or 80,000 horses, and it is not impossible to break out and make up 100,000 horses.
Tactically pay attention to the enemy.
Militarily, we can never hope to win more with less, this is the thinking of the weak, but should be to bully the weak with the strong.
The number of Xuanjia troops in Li Yue's mind should be between 12,000 and 15,000, not too much, too much logistics supply is a big trouble, but it can't be too little, too little to severely damage the enemy army.
"Han recruited the sons of the six counties as soldiers, and there were a lot of brave people in the Great Liang, why didn't Your Majesty recruit the sons of the You, He, and Yongliang families?" Chang Wei arched his hand.
The so-called good family is a young man who has a certain amount of wealth, is innocent, and is proficient in riding and archery.
Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.
Liangjiazi has good physical condition, can be literate and martial, knows honor and disgrace, and knows righteousness, and is the best source of soldiers.
Li Guang, a flying general who is good at riding and shooting, and killing many captives, Zhao Chongguo, who is Shen Yong, who is roughly familiar with the affairs of the four yi, and Gan Yanshou, who is good at riding and shooting for the feather forest, and Gan Yanshou, who is extremely far from the same distance, are all from good families.
Coincidentally, during the historical Fu Jian's southern expedition, he also ordered the recruitment of more than 30,000 horsemen.
Recruiting good sons from the people is tantamount to giving them a chance to get ahead.
These people are also wasted locally.
The Black Cloud Army needs a steady flow of fresh blood, and it can't be turned into the private weapon of some people's ancestors for three generations.
Li Yue said: "However, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of War, and 3,000 people from good families in various states will be recruited in the name of the Black Cloud Army. ”
At the peak of the Han Dynasty, there were 12 million households, but there were only about 3,000 good families in the Yulin army.
Fu Jian's 30,000 sons of good families are mostly young men who forcibly conscripted commoners.
What Li Yue wants to recruit is brave men who are willing to defend their homes and defend the country.
These people are the real aristocrats of China for thousands of years, and the heritage of the Han and Tang Dynasties is actually them, whenever the nation is in danger or the country needs it, they will always come forward.
