Chapter 233: Forming a New Army!
As soon as the conscription system was promulgated, it immediately caused an uproar.
The poor were overjoyed. In the Great Xia Dynasty, if a poor person wants to get ahead, there is no other way than a ten-year cold window. Now that you can become an official and knight if you join the army and kill the enemy, what else is there to consider.
For the sake of his children and grandchildren, for the sake of his parents, he has to fight for everything.
The key issue is that the participating officials will also give food and silver to spend.
And the rich, that's worried.
It is no exaggeration to say that nine of the ten officials in the Great Xia Dynasty are the same as He Ruda, with three wives and four concubines, hugging left and right. Most of their children and grandchildren are also playing cross-children, and it is estimated that they have to let the girls move by themselves when they drive a car at night. Kill the enemy?
None of your business?
I'm sorry, it is stipulated in the law promulgated by Liu Mo. When the war is over, you fat-headed and big-eared squires, see them
These soldiers, who have the title of "military merit", must make a big salute.
If there is any disrespect or insult in words or actions. Hit casually, don't break the law!
Not only that, but soldiers with military merits will also have more preferential treatment. Any "civil servant" position is given priority to families with military merit. Medical treatment is free, private school is free, and there will be silver and rice from the government every month.
So, not long after the conscription order was issued, tens of thousands of people flocked to it, repeating a few words in their mouths, "I want to be a soldier, I want to kill the enemy and serve the country!" Great Xia is mighty! Governor Liu is a thousand years old! ”
There is such a phenomenon on the earth, green tea picks diao silk, and sea king picks female diao.
There are many people who are willing to join the army, so they have to be screened well.
Those with great strength and large size are classified as one category, and later trained as shield-wielding infantry.
The agile ones are classified and later trained as scouts.
Those with strong archery talent are classified as archers, and they will focus on training as archers in the future.
Those who have the talent of riding horses are classified, proper cavalry.
Others who don't have a talent for fighting should also play his role. For example, those who can stir-fry are cooks, those who can raise pigs let him raise pigs, those who have raised horses become grooms, those who strike iron continue to be blacksmiths, and the "art troupe" with acting talents!
There is a source of soldiers, a bumper harvest in the first half of the year in terms of food (and it will be a bumper harvest in the second half of the year), plus Xingluo's funding, it is enough. What is lacking now is training troops and leading generals.
You can't have Liu Mo do it yourself all the time, right? Robots can't keep up either.
So, Liu Mo immediately wrote a letter to the six princes.
The other young generals don't matter, but these three people are named: Zhu Min, Lu Sheng, and Sun Kan.
Zhu Min is Liu Mo's sworn brother, so there is no need to talk nonsense. Lu Sheng is Zhu Min's brother, and the brother's brother is also a brother. Sun Kanma, Liu Mo once funded him, and they also worked together in Xingluo for a period of time, and they admired each other.
With the assistance of these three generals, Liu Mo will definitely be able to take charge in the future war.
Needless to say, the sixth prince's preference for Liu Mo is needless to say. In that year, he committed the following crimes, kidnapped Bai Chengzong, married the children of the prince of the enemy country, did not listen to the order, and led the troops to Xingluo privately.
This pile, one by one, not only did not care, but also gave the post of governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
I want a few subordinates, a matter of one sentence.
Moreover, the six princes not only sent these three generals, but also let more than 20 non-commissioned officers, large and small, plus 500 elite soldiers, accompany Liu Mo.
Governor Liu was deeply grateful and favored, and as soon as the generals sent by the six princes arrived, he organized all his troops into four battalions.
That's right, the four battalions.
Zhu Min is the commander (at the division level), and the commander is mainly infantry, supplemented by cavalry, and the main force with a number of 20,000: five military camps!
Sun Kan was the commander (at the level of a full division), commanding all the heavy cavalry, with a number of 7,000 and 3,000 battalions.
Lu was promoted to garrison, commanding the siege troops, mainly in the Jianrui battalion of 10,000 people.
and Zhao Dawei is the general of a thousand people, mainly commanding scouts, supplemented by light cavalry, and the number is in the vanguard battalion of 4,000 people.
Can Zhao Da be an officer? That's a must.
has been with Liu Mo for so long, he is loyal, he has also been on the battlefield, he has killed the enemy, and he is also clever, what is the problem of cultivating him to become a general.
After recruiting new soldiers, Liu Mo's total strength reached 45,000.
How to train recruits, that will be the work of the four generals, Liu Mo only put forward one request: fast as the wind, Xu like a forest, invade like fire, and immobile like a mountain!
Regarding generals, Liu Mo memorized a classical military work, which is also the earliest existing military book: "Sun Tzu's Thirteen Articles on the Art of War".
Either you don't fight, or you win, no matter who your opponent is.
At the same time, for his own safety and to deal with the assassins of the Pavilion Flower Palace, Liu Mo arranged for these four generals to take turns to be on duty at night and act as bodyguards to protect himself.
Time flies, and soon it comes to the golden autumn of September.
Because he was too busy, Liu Mo didn't even celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, which the people of Daxia attach great importance to, and he didn't hold a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting.
At the critical moment of life and death, the poetry will be?
And this month, Xingluo also sent envoys again, and continued to exchange cattle, sheep, animal skins and other Great Xia materials, but also brought another good news: Ayina successfully gave birth to a boy, named Elias, which means the power of the true god!
"What a son!" Liu Mo showed a bitter smile after hearing the news, "It's a pity that I'm a father, I'm afraid that I won't see you once a year." ”
As usual, Liu Mo was dining with several daughters-in-law.
"The barbecue is going to boil." Su Xiaowan reminded.
"It's okay," Liu Mo said, "It's as delicious as baked paste!" ”
This was just a very ordinary joke, but Su Xiaowan could hear that Liu Mo was in a bad mood.
"Husband, why are you unhappy?"
"That's too much!" Liu Mo sighed, "The assassin of the Pavilion Flower Palace, the new emperor of Great Xia, Yang Yizhi..."
And the recent riots in Banyan City!
The news of the war had already spread among the people, and with Liu Mo's recruitment order, the people were happy to believe that there was about to be a great war. Fear and suspicion spread.
Liu Mo placed the new residents of Rongcheng and the poor people on the west side of the city, isolating them from the natives of Rongcheng as much as possible, but this arrangement was far from sufficient.
There seems to be irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, and the gap between the rich and the poor, and the psychology of xenophobia are just small things.
The biggest contradiction is that the people of Rongcheng think that they are the people of Great Xia and cannot oppose the Great Xia Emperor no matter what, and the enemy is of course the sworn enemy of Great Xia: the Zhou Dynasty.
That's right, Liu Mo has reason to believe that the "rumors" that he wants to form an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty and fight against the new emperor of Great Xia have spread.
The new residents of Rongcheng believe that to save themselves when the famine falls, Liu Mo is the reborn parent, and unconditionally supports Liu Mo's decision. As a result, the two sides turned from a dispute to a violent conflict.
It has been reported that a fight broke out at a restaurant in the east of Rongcheng, killing a new resident of Rongcheng and scalding two diners of the restaurant.
Grilled food is nothing compared to that.
But he didn't plan to bother Su Xiaowan with his own thoughts, she had enough things on her mind, and she couldn't conceive a child for a long time, she began to repeat Lin Shiqi's mistakes, and she was about to be stunned.
The family banquet ended in wordless silence, and when the maids came to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Li Heng came anxiously to report: "Your Excellency, Your Highness, there is a letter!"
