Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 203 Refinement of One Hundred Thousand Troops

Chapter 202: Refining the [-] Army

Qin Hao promised the court that he would lead [-] elite cavalry to the south to help out. Considering that the training period for cavalry was relatively long, while the Yanmen Army only had five months of training, Qin Hao decided to convert all soldiers into cavalry.

The Yanmen Army originally had [-] soldiers, including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

Converting the remaining infantry into cavalry, immediately exchanged for the Yanmen Army [-] veterans with rich battlefield experience, and these veterans have riding experience, so it is easy to train into elite cavalry.

After all the soldiers were converted into cavalry, the Yanmen Army immediately had [-] cavalrymen who could be immediately drawn into the battlefield, and the remaining troops could only be recruited again.

As soon as the Yanmen Army recruitment revelation was posted, the four northern counties immediately became enthusiastic, because the Yanmen Army's treatment was so good that it was too attractive to ordinary people.

The Great Han had never had such a high military salary as the Yanmen Army. One person who joined the army could even support the whole family. In addition, there were a series of benefits, such as more land, exemption from some miscellaneous taxes, and pensions for war dead, wounded and disabled, and so on.

If you don't join the army, you're not stupid!

Countless young people are rushing to sign up, because everyone knows that the number of people who can apply for the Yanmen Army is limited.

This phenomenon of competing to be a soldier is also possible in the four counties of Bingbei, but impossible in any place in Dahan. The population of these four counties is mostly refugees, so being a soldier is the best way out. So many people are willing to join the army.

Before the Yanmen Army expanded, there were [-] soldiers, and [-] defenders were also directly incorporated into the soldiers. Qin Hao recruited another [-] cavalry, so only [-] soldiers were recruited this time.

But no one expected that the people's enthusiasm for joining the army was so high, and the number of volunteers who signed up for the army was as high as 30, which made Qin Hao both happy and worried.

The good news is that after 30 of the 25 enlisted soldiers are wiped out, the remaining [-] must be the essence, and the overall quality of the Yanmen Army will be greatly improved. With a little training, you can train an elite soldier who can fight tough battles.

The worry is how to brush down 25 people?

The Yanmen Army did not need so many troops for the time being, and could not afford to raise so many. Qin Hao had no choice but to raise the requirements for conscription.

After seeing the Yanmen Army's new conscription requirements, many people were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that although the Yanmen Army's treatment was good, not everyone could join.

The updated conscription standards are as follows, the background is clean, the body is free of disabilities, and the body is strong. The most important thing is that the age must be between 25 and [-] years old.

The key point is age, and this item directly reduces the number of people who join the army by one-third, which makes countless popular people beat their chests.

Qin Hao was also afraid that some real talents would be missed, so he put down the ring battle, even if he exceeded the standard, he could participate.

It is a pity that the arena has been set up for five months, and only some second- and third-rate talents have been recruited, and none of the first-class and super-first-class masters have appeared.

Among the millions of refugees, there is not a first-class master like this, which makes Qin Hao sigh that talents are rare!

Then, for the 20 candidates, Qin Hao came up with a selection process, such as physical fitness test, strength test, martial arts test and so on.

And this series of tests has only one purpose in the end, that is, to reduce the number of soldiers to [-], and using such an extravagant method to select soldiers, it is estimated that Qin Hao is the only one in the entire Han Dynasty.

After 20 candidates were selected through methods such as physical strength, martial arts, etc., they were finally reduced to [-].

They all meet the standards, and they are all good seedlings. No one wants to leave, and Qin Hao has nothing to do with it, so all 7 people have to stay.

Qin Hao selected [-] of the most elite soldiers from among the [-] recruits. After collecting [-] Yanmen soldiers, he carefully selected [-] cavalry from the [-] recruits.

After the stirrups and saddles and other equipment were ready, the [-] cavalry troops, led by Qin Hao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others, started a mighty large-scale training.

As for the training of the remaining [-] infantrymen, Qin Hao handed it over to Yue Fei, Gao Shun and Xu Huang. These three people were much better at infantry training than Qin Hao, so Qin Hao naturally wanted people to do their best.

As for the extra 38 new troops, after the training is completed, they will be allocated to the [-] counties under the jurisdiction of the Yanmen Army to maintain local security and become Yanmen reserve soldiers, that is, guard soldiers.

Originally, the field troops were also in the ranks of Yanmen reserve soldiers, but now they have been disqualified by Qin Hao. The reason is that there are too many field troops in Yanmen.

The 40 (plus those captured by Qin Wen) Yellow Turban prisoners of war have all been reduced to the Yanmen Army's field troops. Since the Yellow Turbans have not yet failed, the Yellow Turban prisoners of war can neither be taken to the battlefield nor sent to the army. They can only be used as free labor for the time being. .

However, according to the original standard of the soldiers in the fields, the huge rations would be enough to overwhelm the Yanmen Army. If they were treated separately, they would all be the troops in the fields, and the difference in treatment between them would be so large that it would arouse dissatisfaction among many people.

Therefore, Qin Hao simply banned the original field troops and made all the Yellow Turban prisoners of war become new field troops, but they had to wait until the reconstruction of Yanmen Pass was completed.

The new Yanmen Pass was finally rebuilt after four months of continuous struggle by the people of Yanmen, the Yellow Turban prisoners of war, the Xiongnu, and nearly one million laborers.

After the rebuilding of Yanmen Pass, the 40 prisoners of war of the Yellow Turban and the 10,000+ slaves of the Huns were all under the control of Qin Jian and Li Dingguo, and the construction of the Chi Road connecting the four counties began.

However, the difference is that the Yellow Turban prisoners of war will be scattered in the three north-central counties to settle fields after repairing the county road, while the Xiongnu will have to work endlessly in the four north-central counties.

After the Xiongnu slaves built the county road between the four counties of Bingbei, they also built the county road connecting each county. Still have to build by them.

After that, once the coal mines are mined, some coolies such as coal mining will also be handed over to them.

In short, if the use value of these Xiongnu slaves is not squeezed to nothing, Qin Hao will never give them back their freedom.

If Qin Hao releases these slaves one day, there are only two possibilities: First, their bones are already full of servility, and they will never be able to rebel.The second is that Daqin restores the country, and Qin Hao ascends the throne, thus amnesty for the world.
