Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 81
(Thanks to the sky dragon, the male god of Mars, for the reward, thank you!)
On the outskirts of Zhangqiu.

It was foggy in the morning.

The rising sun was blocked by fog and steam, and only a little white light was emitted.

In a flat open space under Changbai Mountain in the northern suburbs, teams of county soldiers are training.

In the early morning of autumn, the county soldiers were all running with their arms bare and two sandbags tied to each foot.You can't run too slow, and those who fall behind will be beaten with sticks by the coach at the side, but you can't run too fast, and you will be beaten if you run out of the team.Must maintain the same tempo as the whole team.

The one-armed Jia Runpu in yellow stood in the distance, silently watching the teams of county soldiers running into the distance like long snakes.

"These rookies don't even have a team in place, it's too bad!"

Luo Cheng smiled, "It's because you are too demanding. They were a group of farmers not long ago. They usually don't know so many rules. It's normal to stretch your left and right feet wrongly."

"By the way, congratulations on becoming a captain!"

Lao Jia was a little proud, "It's nothing but managing five hundred rookies."

Since the battle of annihilating Zhi Shilang, Zhang Xutuo, the prefect of the county, has strengthened the recruitment and training of the county soldiers. He originally set up twelve regiments of county soldiers in the whole county, but after this time, he expanded the size of the county soldiers.

Originally, there was a regiment of county soldiers in a county. Basically, a regiment of 200 people was kept in the battalion for training and on duty, and there were also 400 people on duty for training.

But this time, the county and county soldiers were directly upgraded to a battalion of 500 people, and one battalion governed two regiments.

Lao Jia was originally the regimental lieutenant of the Zhangqiu army, and the Zhangqiu army was promoted from regiment to battalion, so he was directly promoted to the newly established captain.

"In order to respond to the arrangement of Mr. Juncheng, I plan to set up five more township regiments in the five townships of Zhangqiu, one for each township, and each regiment governs [-] township soldiers. They will train in their spare time and cooperate with us if there are bandits. The county soldiers are suppressing bandits and thieves. Shicheng, you are the chief arrester of Zhangqiu County, and you are also a person valued by the county magistrate, how about you come to be the captain of the Changbai Township Corps?"

"Brother Jia, you are joking. In your eyes, the county soldiers are all nonsense, let alone the township soldiers." Luo Cheng still knows some inside information. The so-called township soldiers are actually not even militiamen. After all Only the county soldiers can be regarded as the militia.

The county soldiers are also divided into several classes. For example, those who are permanently stationed in the county city must be the elite, and the guards of the county magistrates are even more elite, while the county soldiers in each county are even worse.

Now every township has to recruit township soldiers. In fact, it really feels like all the people are soldiers.

But these town soldiers are definitely just putting on airs. If they want money but have no money, and weapons but no weapons, what can they do?

However, Zhang Xutuo must have his intentions in doing this. Luo Cheng guessed that the most likely thing is to gather young and strong people from all counties and townships in Qi County and include them in the organization. Changes may be enhanced.

"Come and help me, anyway, if you are a lieutenant of the township soldier, it won't affect your job as a Zhangqiu headhunter." Lao Jia continued to persuade that the establishment of the township soldier regiment was the task of the higher-ups.

However, the Jun Cheng only asked the localities to set up township regiments, but he did not give him money, did not give others, and did not even give him any weapons and equipment. Under such circumstances, it was not easy to pull up a team.

"How high is the rank of the village soldier school lieutenant?"

The fourth child finally couldn't help but asked, "If Xiao Wu refuses to come, it's okay for me to be the captain."

Lao Jia just looked at him and didn't answer.The last time the fourth child led a temporary reconnaissance team, the team was almost sent away. In the end, it was Lao Jia who helped fish them out. For such a guy, he was worried about letting him come to the army.

"Xiang Bing Lieutenant is just a title. In fact, he has no rank or rank. After all, he is a town soldier. I, the county soldier captain, said that I was in charge of 500 people, but in fact, I was just given a ninth-rank official rank. That's all. Of course, our brother Luo is different. He is a hero who has suppressed bandits together with Juncheng. Therefore, as long as you are willing to manage the Changbai Township Corps, I will definitely find a way to help you get a ninth grade. "

Luo Cheng gave Lao Jia a guarantee, but he was not moved at all, because he knew it was impossible.Although the ninth grade is low, the system of the Great Sui Dynasty was there. Even such the lowest official position had to be appointed by the official department of the Daxing City court. Local officials had no right at all, at most they had the right to recommend. But it doesn't really help much.

Before the Sui Dynasty, there was a melee between the north and the south, and the local governor had great power and authority, and had a lot of confiscation power. Many low-level officials were directly recommended or directly recruited and appointed by the governor.

But after the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, has been weakening local authority and strengthening centralization.Today's Emperor Daye has tightened his grip on power, separated local civil and military forces, and no longer has the slightest right to expropriate.

Even Lao Jia, who was originally an old subordinate from the ninth grade, was promoted to the top nine because of his meritorious service in suppressing the bandits.

"Old Jia, this township corps is just an empty name. It has nothing. How do you ask me to take it?" Luo Cheng didn't directly refuse.

"Why is it an empty name? There must be people. Two hundred township soldiers. The county issued an order to let the county cooperate. It is still possible for your Changbai Township to recruit [-] township soldiers."

"What can it be? You also know the current situation. Classes are heavy, and a large number of young adults are conscripted to serve. There are not many young adults left at home."

"Then you can recruit some middle-aged men, from 20 to [-] years old, and they are all boys with good body shape." Old Jia said.

"But in fact, most of the recruits for your county soldiers are middle-aged men."

Lao Jia smiled helplessly. Indeed, there are actually a large number of middle-aged men aged [-] or [-] among the county soldiers training and running down the mountain.

There are not many young adults left in the village.

"Fourteen or fifteen-year-olds have grown up, and training is also a good guy." Old Jia said again.

Luo Cheng stared at Lao Jia and smiled without saying a word.

What's the use of giving him two hundred teenagers.

Facing the bandits in real life, you might be scared to pee your pants.

"Shicheng, help my old brother with this, and pull up the township army as soon as possible. This is the death order given to me by the county magistrate. He will come to Zhangqiu to inspect it for himself in a month. If there is a county barracks here, five If the Township Corps can’t be pulled up, then I will have to eat my brother, don’t look at me for many years with the Juncheng, but the Juncheng has always said the same thing. You can’t just ignore death, can you?”

"Brother Jia, you also helped me a lot last time by saving my brother. I really should help you with this favor. But you said it was nothing, and you asked me to take care of a group of children. You will be the one to lose you then."

"Just tell me what you want. If the elder brother can do it, I will definitely get it for you. You must help the elder brother to support this scene."

"To pull up a team, you must first have money and food. Even if you are helping young people, you have to train a little or two at ordinary times. If you want to train, you need money and food. At least you have to eat and drink, and you have to have a place to live. Also, we need some weapons and equipment, otherwise, we can't use our bare hands, right?"

Luo Cheng wrung his fingers to make calculations with Lao Jia.

Lao Jia looked helpless.

If he really had money and food, why would he come to Luo Cheng to discuss it.

"My brother is good at fighting in battle, but if we really want to talk about this, I really don't know how to start."

"How about I give Brother Jia an idea?" Luo Cheng smiled.

"Say it, tell it, tell me quickly, my brother has been worrying a lot about this recently."
