The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 175 Military System
The current military establishment of Xu An's Yellow Turban Army and the original Yellow Turban Army have begun to show differences.

At present, the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command is composed of ten men, one corporal leader and one tenor.

During training on weekdays, the marching corps leader has no soldiers directly under him, but only exists as the deputy of the chief.

During the battle, all the soldiers in Shinei followed the flag and moved. When Shichang was killed in battle, the rank corporal took down the flag to take over his position and continued to lead the sergeants in battle.

Wushi is a team, with one team leader, five personal guards, and one standard bearer, a total of 57 people.

If the team leader dies in battle, the head of the rank will take over.

The two teams form one village, with one village head, one personal guard, a total of ten people, and two standard bearers, a total of 127 people.

Wutun is a song, with one military marquis, two false military marquises, 659 personal guards, a total of [-] people, and three standard bearers, a total of [-] people.

The five songs are divided into one, with one military Sima, two military false Sima, fifty personal guards, and five standard bearers, a total of 3352 people.

In addition, each team has a talisman, leading the guards, a total of five people, explaining the Taiping Dao scriptures and military regulations to the soldiers in the team on weekdays, and also serving as a military judge.

There is one Fuzhu for each song, and ten personal guards, who are in charge of the Fu Zhu of a song, and also serve as the chief officer of the military judge of a song.

Each department has a chief Zhu and [-] personal guards to manage all the talismans of a department, and concurrently serve as the chief officer of a military judge.

So now the Yellow Turban Army under Xu An's command has 3708 people in each department.

But in fact, most of the parts are not fully compiled. Zhang Yan and Xu Huang each brought two troops to Taiyue and Wangwu. In fact, the total number of soldiers under the two generals was just over [-] two thousand people.

If it is full, in fact, Zhang Yan and Xu Huang should each take 7416 people to the expedition.

But in fact, it is rare to have a full manpower. Currently, there are few officials in the Yellow Turban Army, the lack of soldiers in each department, and the lack of military equipment and other issues can not be resolved in time. This is also an important reason for the lack of full manpower.

Although military pawns and elite battalions give priority to resources, they are limited to armaments and the quality of soldiers, and they are still under-staffed.

Now in Shangdang County, there are only four uncompiled trilogy, with a total of more than [-] people. After they are distributed to the cities of Shangdang County, they seem a little rare.

Although the gentry tyrants in the county seem to be honest now, a part of the army should be allocated to deter them and prevent them from secretly having bad ideas.

The terrain in Shangdang County is quite complicated, and the high mountains and long rivers also breed some bandits. Although the Yellow Turban Army wiped out some of them, those bandits would not dare to provoke the Yellow Turban Army easily.

However, the Yellow Turban Army still needs to allocate a part of the soldiers to guard against some unexpected situations. After all, there is no guarantee that some people who are dazed will not appear among these thieves.

This further restrained the strength of the Yellow Turban Army, which was why Xu An wanted to recruit civilian husbands in the county to help deliver money and food.

However, through this incident, the scout's report also let Xu An hear some good news. The matter of using money and food to recruit civilians had the same effect as before Shang Yang's reform.

Although the decree of Shang Yang's reform in the Warring States Period was ready, it was not announced.

He was worried that the people would not believe him, so he erected a long log outside the south gate of the capital market.A notice was posted saying: Someone who can move it to the north gate of the market will be rewarded with ten gold.

The people in the capital felt strange at first, and no one dared to move it.Later, Shang Yang issued a notice saying: Someone who can move it to the north gate of the market will be rewarded with fifty gold.

A man had the courage to move the wood to the north gate of the market, and Shang Yang immediately ordered him to give him fifty gold, which quickly won the trust of the people in the country.

Xu An recruited civilian husbands in the county, and the salary stated in the notice did not differ from the actual wages. Even the daily wages were not in arrears.

After those folk husbands received their wages and returned home, they also spread the matter. The changes in the county were obvious to all.

Although the imperial court has seriously demonized the Yellow Turban Army, for more than a month, what the people in the county have seen in their eyes is completely opposite.

In the notices of the Yellow Turban Army's propaganda, there is no false statement, and there is no change in the order.

The Yellow Turban Army took over the entire city, and rarely disturbed the people. Sometimes the soldiers accidentally damaged some people's property, and the Yellow Turban Army's amulet would come to compensate.

In the past, those knight-errants who ran rampant in the market, dudes, powerful domestic slaves who lived in the countryside, and thieves and bandits now dare not easily provoke the Yellow Turban Army for fear that the Yellow Turban Army will wipe them out.

A few days ago, the Yellow Turban Army took the Li family, the Zhang family in Xiangyuan, and the Yang family in Gaodu into custody.

Xu An personally went to the three places to supervise the execution, read through the crimes of the three families collected by the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army before the execution platform, and asked some common people who had been bullied by the three powerful families to come to the stage to state their crimes.

In the end, under the fury of the crowd, all three tyrants were beheaded.

The vengeance was avenged, and the common people who had been oppressed on weekdays all clapped their hands and applauded. They were even more grateful to the Yellow Turban Army, and even wanted to donate the few remaining belongings to the Yellow Turban Army.

Some people even asked the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army about Xu An's name, and wanted to set up a magic card for Xu An at home.

As a result, when Fu Zhu of the Yellow Turban Army preached and lectured in these three places, the open space around the high platform was surrounded by water, and there were no empty seats.

All kinds of news from the thirteen cities in Shangdang County were quickly sent to the eldest son city, the government office where Xu An was located.

Although Yan Zhong shared the responsibility, it still made Xu An feel strenuous.

Xu An sat on the mat and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, suddenly there were a few slight knocks on the door, and then the wooden door was slowly opened by Xu An's personal guards.

Zhao Le's slightly bloated body squeezed into the room from the door, and he slowly walked into the room with a small pile of bamboo slips.

"My lord, the affairs of Tunliu City."

Xu An looked up at Zhao Le, and waved his hand casually: "Let's put it here."

Xu An casually pointed to a place. The desk in front of him was already piled up with various pieces of armor, the news of damaged weapons requiring repairs and replacements, and the news of missing soldiers applying for replacements.

Next to it are news of thieves and bandits from all over the place, as well as some compensation, and news of the arrest of thieves in the city, all piled up together.

In the past, only the eight hundred miles of Taihang Mountain had the help of Yan Zhong. Xu An could still focus on the army and strategy. The number of troops is also in the majority, which is easy to manage.

"My lord, there is one more thing." Zhao Le put down the bamboo slip in his hand and continued, "General Liu has arrived outside the government office."

"Is Liu Pi here?"

Xu An rubbed his temples and stared at it for an hour, his head felt a little sore.

"Let him in."
