Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 158 Expansion of the Army
There are a lot of talents among the refugees, and there are not a few who can read and practice martial arts.

As for those who know how to farm, they have everything.

Li Yue first selected more than 30 field envoys and dispatched them to various places. The main tasks were to persuade farmers to teach mulberry, reclaim wasteland, and recruit refugees.

Try the reactions of various places, and let the leaders of the major beggars adapt to it.

Everything is about step by step.

Stabilizing the fields stabilizes the population and the hearts of the people.

In this war, there were not a few people who made meritorious service. In addition to rewarding food and fields, Li Yue "interviewed" one by one. If there were no major problems in loyalty, intelligence, force, and conduct, he was awarded General Heiyun as a reserve officer.

For several days in a row, Li Yue instilled Chinese ideas and national righteousness into them by telling stories.

China has too many famous figures through the ages, and too much spiritual wealth to inspire future generations.

From Huo Qubing's "The Xiongnu is not destroyed, why do you make a family" to Su Wu's 19 years of sheep herding, he is determined.

Yue Ji sorted out Ma Yuan's deeds for Li Yue alone, which is especially in line with the current situation.

"Ma Yuan once said: A man should die in the wilderness, and his ears should be buried in a horse leather shroud. How can he lie on the bed and be evil in the hands of a son and a woman? Ladies and gentlemen, if the heroes of our ancestors are like this, if you can chase them two or three times, this life will not be in vain! "

As he talked, Li Yue himself couldn't help but get involved in it.

Telling about Ma Yuan's magnificent life, breaking Longqiang in the west, conquering Jiaozhi in the south, and attacking Wuhuan in the north, sweeping the surrounding areas of the Later Han Dynasty. At the age of 64, he was still on the way to conquer Wuxi Man, and died of illness in the army , It is true that a man should die in a wild horse leather shroud.

And there are so many stories and idioms about him, and he talks with gusto.

After speaking, Li Yue presented them with the small iron plaque of General Heiyun, and every person who stepped forward had to say: "China is in ruins, the people are in dire straits, you should work hard!"

"Life is Heiyun General, death is Heiyun Ghost!" There was something different in the eyes of Heiyun General who received the sticker.

Since then, the training has become more arduous, and many people volunteered to study and practice calligraphy with Xin Can.

The atmosphere in Heiyun Mountain is good, full of vigor and positive.

Except for Bo Wu, there are basically no privileges and ranks. High-level generals such as Wei Shan, Xu Cheng, Liang Xiao, etc., do not pay much attention to food and clothing. reunion.

Li Yue even set an example by not paying attention to color in clothes and taste in food. Li Yue would eat whatever the soldiers ate.

The basic necessities of life are no different from ordinary soldiers.

The ethos of Heiyun Mountain also started from Li Yue's example.

After promoting a group of officers, it is reasonable to expand the army.

Heiyun Mountain is no longer a land of hundreds of miles, Xingyang County has become a place of actual control, and the entire Yuzhou is a sphere of influence.

Five to six thousand people are naturally not enough.

After discussing with Cui Jin, Zhou Qian, Wei Shan, Xu Cheng, Liang Xiao and others, the Ministry was expanded into battalions, with 500 people in each battalion.

They are Vanguard Battalion, Xiaoqi Battalion, Middle Base Battalion, Guerrilla Battalion, and Scout Battalion.

The Scout Battalion went out independently, directly under Li Yue, and was no longer in charge of Bing Cao, and a Zhongjian Battalion and Zhenshan Battalion were added.

Among them, the Zhenshan Battalion was stationed at Xuanyuan Mountain, with a force of [-] troops, composed of former Xuanyuan Mountain elites, guarding against the Xiongnu army of Liu State in Yangcheng to the south.

The previous compilation was a little confusing.

According to the military system of the Han and Wei Dynasties, there were only about 400 people in one.

There are thousands of people in the first part of Heiyun Mountain. Since the army is going to expand, the establishment at all levels should be more standardized.

There are five people in one team, with a team leader.Why are the two Wu Wu?Five is a team, and a team rate of 50 people is set.The two teams are tun, and a hundred people set up a tun leader.The two villages are Qu, and there is a military marquis for every 200 people.The two songs are the department, and there is a captain for every 400 people.The five divisions form a battalion with 2000 people.

Each battalion has five captains, five Sima, and five Dianjun. The captain is in charge of combat and training, Sima is in charge of logistics, and Dianjun is in charge of military discipline and the ideological status of soldiers.

Officers at all levels are appointed from General Heiyun.

Wei Shan, Xu Cheng, Liang Xiao, and Cao Kan are all school lieutenants and do not lead the army on weekdays.

Cui Jin is the commander of Xuanyuan Mountain and alone leads the Zhenshan Camp.

Bo Wu is the nominal commander of Heiyun Mountain, while Chen Duan is the commander of Chen Liuqi's living army, officially under the command of Heiyun Mountain.

Not counting Zhu Xu, the strength of the Heiyun Army expanded to [-].

Li Yue's principle has always been to prefer lack to abuse, follow the route of elite soldiers, and the signboard that the Heiyun Army has finally erected cannot be smashed.

Liang Du rebelled, and the only ones who could really fight were tens of thousands of high-powered guards on hand.

Li Nong's [-]-strong army was wiped out as soon as it went up, and the strength on the books was once again, so he just coaxed himself, which has no practical meaning.

Li Yue tried his best to equip each Heiyun army with armor, horses, weapons, crossbows, shields, maces, bones and so on.

The more than 400 armored soldiers in the Vanguard Battalion even have double armors.

Each person in the Xiaoqi battalion has a war horse, plus a mule or a donkey. There is no way. Horses are more valuable than people these days. There are only more than 3000 war horses in the army, and most of them are supported by the Zheng family.

The middle battalion is equipped with a large number of crossbows with longer range.

Guerrilla battalions are basically donkey and mule cavalry...

Li Yue always remembers the newly established backbone battalion with long and heavy weapons such as mace or big axe, and Liang Du's ax wielders.

To build such an army, the economic pressure is enormous.

Not only the equipment, but also the fodder for the horses, donkeys and mules alone is an astonishing number.

But not without these things.

The Jie people and the Qiang people are mainly cavalry, so you can't fight them on the plain for two days, right?

In addition, the men and women under the rule of Heiyun Mountain must be trained during the slack period. They do not need to be proficient, but they must be able to do it.

Spring plowing is coming to an end, and the military expansion order is issued.

As if a stone stirred up a thousand waves, countless people flocked up and down the mountain.

The name of the Heiyun Army has been given out, and the army can gain land by virtue of its military exploits, which is a fatal temptation to the surrounding people.

Young adults from Gou's, Zhongmou, Yuanling, and Mi counties all came here after hearing the news, and even Zhang Yu's headquarters in Xuchang had people fleeing here.

This also allows Heiyun Army to be selective.

More than fifteen and under forty, the height must not be less than six feet two inches, that is, about 1.5 meters, and they can carry [-] catties of stones to climb up Heiyun Mountain.

The requirements can be said to be not strict. Gao Li's guards were exhausted when they went up the mountain wearing iron armor.

But no matter how high the requirements are, they still flock to them.

Can a person who has no strength to restrain a chicken survive in this world?The harsh living environment has also tempered many people.

Even a 60-year-old farmer can easily carry a weight of [-] to [-] catties and walk several miles across mountains and ridges.

In an era where everything is done with hands and feet, climbing Heiyun Mountain with a [-]-jin stone on your back is not worth mentioning at all.

The number of people who passed the selection directly exceeded the rated number, and the Black Cloud Army once reached the size of 9000 people.

Many people have scars on their bodies, and there is a bit of ferocity in their eyes. They have either been on the battlefield or fought with wild animals. They are good at murder and arson.

Those who win the Central Plains may not win the world, but the Central Plains is definitely the place with the most wars in history.

From the battle for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty to the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, the flames of war in the Central Plains have never been extinguished.

Countless killings have trained a heroic soldier.

During the Warring States period, Wei Wuzu, Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was even more ferocious. Wu Yuanji's Huaixi Army, Zhu Wen's Xuanwu Army, Qin Zongquan's Caizhou Army...

Looking at the fierce and longing faces, Li Yue still decided to accept them.

Those who are tall and powerful are selected into the middle base and the second battalion of the backbone;

Those with courage and force will be filled into the pro-army.
