Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 234 Mobilization
"Will you go?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Why don't you want to go? The purpose of becoming a military soldier is to fight and make meritorious service. Only after meritorious service can you be awarded an official and a title." The fourth child understands this very well. He is a soldier for the purpose of being an official. get rich.

"The Eastern Expedition is very dangerous. In the 18th year of the founding of the emperor, the first emperor sent 30 troops to the Eastern Expedition. In the end, almost all the troops were wiped out, but even the Goguryeo barbarians have not seen it yet." Luo Cheng reminded them.

"That's just because the road was destroyed by the heavy rain, the grain road was cut off, and then the disease broke out again. It's not a defeat in the war, it doesn't count."

The morale of all the officers who had just been commissioned was high, and they wished they could send troops now, go directly to Goguryeo, then break Pyongyang City, capture the king of Goguryeo, and earn a duke title.

The eight hundred soldiers in the mansion all had the same attitude, and none of them were cowardly.

Only Luo Cheng was unwilling to go to the east.

"Since everyone is willing to go, let's draw lots. Whoever is drawn will go, and those who are not drawn will stay."

"How about the elder brother-in-law staying behind?" Luo Cheng asked Zhou Dewei.

The eldest brother-in-law said helplessly, "I also want to go to Liaodong to earn military merits."

Luo Cheng looked at the others, but the fourth child shook his head all the time, no one wanted to stay behind.As for Qi Biao and Li Bao, they were even less willing to stay, and they wanted to return to the battlefield to fight.

He thought about it secretly, Chai Xiaohe was in charge of staying behind, and there were still two hundred government soldiers here, and one or two school lieutenants must be needed.After all, this is his hometown, and he is also afraid that after he leaves, the bandits will come again, so he can't be raided.

He had to take Shixin with him, although he was enlightened now, but after all, he was young, and Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Er were still too young, so they were not at ease.

As for his five King Kongs, Li Junxian, Guo Xiaoke, and Wang Tiehan, they are fierce, but they are too young to be the leader of the team, and they are not enough to take on this important task.

The third and fourth children were determined not to stay.

So in the end Luo Cheng could only be wronged by his eldest brother-in-law Zhou Dewei and fourth brother-in-law Zhou Xin.

"The two of you, one soldier Cao Shenjun and the other Cang Cao Shenjun military, why don't you feel wronged and stay behind. At home, you can also take care of it."

Zhou Dewei was older, and when he heard what Luo Cheng said, he smiled and agreed, but Zhou Xin was very reluctant, and finally persuaded him for a long time before he reluctantly agreed.

As for the eight hundred government soldiers, through a lottery, six hundred lucky ones were finally drawn out to go to war.

These 600 people are based on the combination of one regiment of cavalry and two regiments of infantry.

However, according to the military system of the Sui Dynasty, these 600 people will be reorganized after Luo Cheng is brought to the camp in Zhuojun.In history, when Yang Guang conquered Liao for the first time, he issued an edict to gather all the troops from all over the world, regardless of the distance between the north and the south, they must meet in Zhuojun, and tens of thousands of horses should be gathered in Donglai as a navy.

At that time, more than 100 million troops were gathered in Zhuojun. Later, the left and right wings were divided into twelve groups. Each group had a general and a general, and forty cavalry teams.Ten teams form a regiment, and the regiment has one general.Eighty regiments of infantry, divided into four regiments.

This establishment is the wartime establishment, and it is no longer the usual establishment of the guards.

An army of 2000 people, 1000 cavalry plus 2000 infantry, the cavalry is a regiment of [-] people, and the infantry is a regiment of [-] people.In addition to the soldiers, there are also a large number of auxiliary soldiers, as well as the central army commanded by Yang Guang himself.

In the first expedition to Liao, more than 100 million troops were assembled in Zhuojun. Luo Cheng took these 600 people, which was really a drop in the ocean.

"The generals for the expedition have been selected, and there is still some time to prepare. We must prepare ordnance, food, and pack horses according to the requirements of the Ministry of War. Otherwise, we will be punished at that time." Luo Cheng held a meeting with a group of officers and directly Point out an urgent task at the moment.

The government soldiers have to prepare their own armaments, food, and horses and mules when they go out for an expedition.

If you can't do this, you will be punished when the time comes.

"We just got some money, so even if we want to buy it, it's too late, right?"

Chief Shi Chai Xiao said, "It's too late to buy. Fortunately, we are a new military mansion, so the Ministry of War has relaxed the conditions for us. Each mansion soldier who is going to the expedition only needs to prepare the seven things of the mansion army, and then a group of mules will be prepared." Six horses, and nine buckets of rations are enough. As for the rest of the equipment, you have to pay the Wei Mansion and issue a certificate, and then you can get the lease when you arrive in Zhuojun, and you can return it after the war. In addition to the rations For the military rations, we can also hand in the rations to the military government first, and then take the voucher and find the government government along the way to get it."

The seven things of Fubing refer to several basic equipment such as clothes, quilts, saddle bridles, bows and arrows, knives and spears.

If the general government soldiers go out, they must prepare all the equipment, but since it is a new military residence, the conditions are relaxed, just bring some clothes, quilts and food, and each person has a horizontal knife and a spear. Even if the bows and arrows are not ready fine.

Pay the money first, and just pay the money. After arriving in Zhuojun, there will be all kinds of ordnance prepared by the imperial court. A compromise.

The same is true for food, each mansion soldier must bring nine buckets of wheat rice on the road.Of course, it is not close to go to Zhuojun to gather.Nine buckets may not be enough, what should I do, first pay the food from your own home to the military mansion, and get a voucher, which is equivalent to a food book, and it will record how much food you have paid.

Then you march all the way to gather, as long as you pass the counties, you can use this grain book to find the local government to withdraw grain, and remember how much you pay, as long as it does not exceed the grain you have stored.

This is also a great way to open the door for the soldiers.

Of course, some equipment still has to be purchased. For example, if you have ten soldiers for one fire, you must prepare six horses and mules. It is okay to have no horses and mules, or no mules and donkeys, but the number is enough.

Another one, the military mansion has to prepare tents for the soldiers, this is indispensable.

As for pots and rice bowls, these must also be prepared.

Then other things such as baskets, shovels, saws, and tendons can be rented or purchased at the assembly point.

Renting will definitely cost more than bringing your own, and it may not be so convenient, but it is the only way if there is no case.

"Then wait until Zhuojun to rent it!"

Everyone feels that spending more money can save trouble.

Ever since, it was finally decided that each of the two hundred cavalry should prepare horses, and all infantry should be equipped with basic knives and spears.

In the end, Luo Cheng also asked to prepare a new flag of Changbai Yingyang Mansion. This flag must not be missing. In addition, all regiments and teams must also prepare flags, and they must be brand new.

"Go home and get ready, let your mother and daughter-in-law sew clothes for you and prepare food. Feed the mules to be strong and sharpen the knives. Spend this year at home well, and wait for the next year. Now, we will officially set off.”

"Remember to bring more money with you. It is best if you can exchange it for gold and silver. Money is very important outside, and sometimes it can save your life. Remember." Luo Cheng told everyone.
