Chapter 55 Identity
When Shao Xun returned to Piyong, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
With the absence of the governor, it seems as if there is no backbone, and he feels uneasy no matter what he does.
As soon as he came back, everyone came to life. My hands and feet have become more diligent, I no longer have random thoughts, and I am more energetic in doing things.
This is the role of the soul figure.
"Uncle Du." The team leaders and Yang Bao came over to salute and report the situation.
"Who are you?" Shao Xun asked, looking at Yang Bao whose face was wrapped in several layers of cloth and smelled of medicine, with only his eyes, nose, and mouth exposed.
"Uncle, I am Yang Bao. I came back one step earlier than you." Yang Bao said anxiously.
“Didn’t you stay to recuperate?”
“It’s a flesh wound, it’s not a problem.”
Shao Xun nodded and praised: "You are still very brave."
I didn't see it clearly at first, but Yang Bao seemed to have been stabbed head-on.
But with the helmet and armor around, it would be really difficult to die if the vital parts were not hit.
Did this guy lie down at that time?
There were many people here, and he planned to save some face for Yang Bao, so he dropped the topic.
"Tell me one by one." Shao Xun sat down, looked at everyone, and said.
Mi Huang didn't know where he went, which made Shao Xun very helpless.
The war is not over yet, brother. If this meeting is raided and the commander is not around, who will we talk to if we lose?
"Uncle, the sons and daughters have been reviewing their lessons in batches, honing their martial arts, making fires to cook, and repairing equipment. They have not been slacking off." Wu Qian was the first to say.
“Are those teachings not messed up?”
"I only teach reading and literacy, and occasionally tell some allusions. But the husband of the Yu family quoted from classics and talked a lot."
"I understand." Shao Xun nodded and said: "Next."< br>
"Uncle, the soldiers have been searching and killing the remnants of the enemy these days, and have captured more than a thousand armored battleships, of which no less than 700 can be used. The remaining ones can be repaired, and we can make do by demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall. Use it," team leader Yao Yuan said.
"We will have to recruit a group of auxiliary soldiers in the future." After thinking about it, Shao Xun suddenly had an idea.
The auxiliary army has existed since ancient times.
For example, the original upper, middle and lower armies (commonly known as the "three armies"), the lower armies were mainly engaged in logistics support work.
However, the Donghai Kingdom’s upper and lower armies are both combat soldiers. During wartime, craftsmen and masters are temporarily recruited to serve as logistical support - well, it seems that most of the combat soldiers are also temporarily recruited at this time. ’s...
No matter what, for such a serious matter as war, it is still necessary to be as professional as possible.
It’s great to save money, but sometimes it means losing your fighting power.
In an era when professional warriors are very popular, auxiliary soldiers also have to undergo strict military training and go into battle. When there is a vacancy in the combat troops, the first choice is to recruit people from the auxiliary troops to supplement them.
I wonder if we can persuade Sikong to reform the military system and establish a professional auxiliary force that can just fit in these children and teenagers - it will probably be difficult, although the Forbidden Army Cavalry already has long-term auxiliary soldiers.
"Next one." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.
"Uncle, I sent people to search south to Luoshui. A unit originally stationed there has been broken up, but the Xianbei Rangers have not crossed the river." Team leader Yu An said.
"Who are the people who were defeated?"
"The Ding men who were recruited from Xin'an County ran away without fighting a single battle."
Grandma's, even The enemy didn't even see it, and he was defeated on the spot. What kind of soldiers are these? Shao Xun was helpless.
If the enemies are all this kind of thing, it is not impossible for him to perform a performance of taking the head of an admiral among thousands of armies.
"The Xianbei people will not come to die." He said: "The next one."
The team leaders reported one after another, and Yang Bao was at the back of the queue with a face. There was still an awkward smile on his face.
"Everyone." After everyone had finished reporting, Shao Xun organized his thoughts and said: "Sikong is going to rebuild the Kingdom's army. The soldiers on Piyong's side will be integrated into the lower army. I will be a soldier. The leader of the building, Mi Duhu, will be the lieutenant. As for you and others, some people will have new building owners.”
Having said this, he paused and looked at everyone.
The crowd was silent for a while, and then it exploded.
"Building Master, I'll follow you." Wu Qian was the first to say, as he was old and his legs and feet were not very agile, but his brain worked quickly.
"The three teams of people you are in charge of are my hard work. Even if you don't mention it, I will ask you to come over." Shao Xun nodded and said.
"Building Master, I will follow you too." Huang Biao said loudly.
"Building Master, I am not convinced by the others, so I will settle down with you."
"Building Master..."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.
"Building owner, I...I...I will lead your horse, pedal it, and wash the horse." Yang Bao said softly.
"Oh? Liu Sima didn't arrange a place for you?" Shao Xun glanced at him and asked.
Yang Bao choked and murmured: "In this world, you can survive by following the leader. Leader, I am brave. I can ride a horse, shoot an arrow, and have killed enemy soldiers." "Since you are determined to follow me... "Shao Xun pondered for a moment and said: "How about going to another building to be a superintendent? "
"Building owner, I--" Yang Bao was a little anxious.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand and said: "Stay here. You went to the other building, and you are still mine. Among the five hundred sergeants in the whole building, at least 40% are old brothers. Please help me keep an eye on it. If anything happens, Come and report immediately."
"That's...ok." Yang Bao nodded reluctantly, but he was a little worried. He glanced around and saw that everyone was there. He gritted his teeth and said directly: " My loyalty to the owner of the building can be seen from the sun and the moon. The owner of the building must never give up on me."
"Haha" everyone laughed.
Shao Xun also smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? You are also an old man. As long as you work hard, how can I ignore you? Don't worry."
"That's good, I Listen to the owner." Yang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, his face a little red.
But he has no regrets.
The world is so cruel, what’s wrong with wanting to survive? The owner of the building said that I am an "old man". Some of you are newcomers. Do you have as much qualifications as me? Why are you laughing? As long as I am shameless and follow the owner of the building wholeheartedly, don’t cry when I poop on your head in the future!
"The matter is settled." Shao Xun clapped his hands, stopped everyone's laughter, and said: "When the army is organized, Governor Mi has the final say. I will choose 500 people to take with me. I didn't choose People who go to another building are still brothers. In times of crisis, we should advance and retreat together. Do you understand? "
"I understand." Everyone agreed.
Shao Xun waved his hand and asked them to go back to their respective teams to train the soldiers.
After everyone left, Shao Xun asked Wu Qian again for a roster.
"There are one hundred and forty-six people in total, the youngest is nine years old, the oldest is nineteen years old, and there are seventy-two people over fifteen years old." Wu Qian said softly from the side: "The children are asking the owner of the building Still very trusting, some young people can be called dependent."
"Well..." Shao Xun nodded slightly.
Having led them for a year and a half, they are indeed more obedient and more capable than ordinary soldiers. This can be seen from the capture of Sima Yi this time. Some teenagers don't even know what fear is, and they take action when it's time to take action without any hesitation.
Perhaps, they have not experienced the ups and downs of society, and do not have too many interests and are more focused on feelings.
Once they are thrown into the society and beaten for more than ten years, they will become entangled in themselves and have interests to pull them, and they will not be so pure.
He remembered what later Okamura Neiji said about Japanese soldiers.
Gangcun believes that in the troops formed before the war, the soldiers are generally young, have ideals, enthusiasm, dare to fight, have a fierce style, and are not afraid of death. When the Battle of Wuhan ended, he found that among the supplementary troops sent from the mainland, there were a large number of demobilized soldiers in their thirties. These older supplementary troops had good military qualities, but after working hard in society, they did not believe what the military ministry said. He fell into that trap and became mentally "broken" and became a "veteran oil man".
Of course, the situation faced by Shao Xun is different from that of Gangcun. It can only be said that there are some similarities.
Even though these students are older, the identities of teacher and student are still there, and the feelings they had when they were young are still there. Even if they are not pure, they are still more reliable than the people you just pull over.
If you leave Yue Mansion and go elsewhere, these student soldiers are most likely to follow you.
"I want to take away all the third team." Shao Xun said: "Come to my building and be a superintendent."
Wu Qian was overjoyed, but he did not expect to be a low-level military household all his life. , When you are old, you can still work as a superintendent. Nothing in the world is more bizarre than this.
"Thank you, Master Zhu, for your cultivation." Wu Qian said without hesitation, his eyes still a little red.
"Brother, why are you so polite?" Shao Xun said with a smile: "As a supervisor, you don't need to take care of the training. I will take care of this myself. You have to focus on the children of the third team. , Be a team leader."
Shao Xun explained the term "team leader", and Wu Qian knew what it meant, so he said: "Don't worry, owner, I will take care of it in an orderly manner. It's delaying things."
"We, as a small group, still have to work hard." After explaining the matter, Shao Xun sighed and said, "A little Wang Bing still needs time. It still takes time.”
After Chen Yougen mentioned the rebellion and running away that day, he actually deduced it carefully.
The conclusion is: If you gather your troops and run away, you will have no future as a refugee army or even a bandit.
First of all, there are not that many resources to arm the troops.
Military training is an activity that consumes a lot of money. Let’s not talk about food. Just talking about equipment consumption is very huge. Without a stable production base and large reserves of supplies, you cannot train troops for a long time.
The troops led by the refugee commanders may look majestic and running around, but before the military power of the Jin Dynasty is completely exhausted, they can only "flee" and find it difficult to gain a foothold. The outcome is either to be defeated or to be recruited, but if you are recruited, you will be controlled by others. Whether it is food or weapons supply, the superiors will tightly control it and will not give you any chance-unless the "superiors" themselves collapse, in which case There is a chance.
Secondly, there are not so many veterans to train the army and share their own pressure.
In the beginning, Mi Huang sent him two hundred people, many of whom were defeated soldiers of the Luoyang Chinese Army. They were familiar with martial arts and military formations, and could share the training pressure. They were talents that the refugee army desperately lacked.
Finally, after being labeled as a refugee coach, it was difficult for anyone to vote.
Poverty, not having enough to eat, being pushed around, no time to develop base areas, lack of talents and weapons, and being discriminated against, it is difficult to stand up - there is no refugee army in Dajin now On the stage, Qi Wannian, Zhang Chang, Shi Bing, and Feng Yun have either been wiped out or are about to be destroyed. Even if the time traveler leads the team, can they really be much better than them when there are many forts in the countryside?
The social environment is different. When aristocratic families control the land and population in the countryside, even if you really defeat the army and get a piece of territory, you can only rule superficially and enjoy yourself. . Without official status, Wubao Shuai and the aristocratic families will not recognize you, and you will not receive taxes, so you can only continue to wander around.
In the absence of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops to violently break the situation, official status is very important.
So, he still needs time to develop in order to cultivate the first batch of officer seeds that truly belong to him.
Of course, if you really can’t survive, you have no choice but to prepare for the worst.
Obviously we haven’t reached that point yet.
"Building Master, Mi Duhu is back." Chen Yougen hurried over and shouted.
"I'll go greet him right away." Shao Xun patted Wu Qian's shoulder heavily and went out.
