The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Chapter 97 Standing army camp system, the rebel army is upgrading!
All six people looked at Liu Sheng.

Because they knew that Liu Sheng must have something important to announce.

Sure enough, Liu Sheng opened his mouth and said: "After immigrating to North America this time, the number of troops in our Chinese Department has greatly increased, and we will have to take care of more and more territories in the future. It is imperative to expand our army.

In addition, the food and other materials obtained in the county will take at least half a month to be transported.

We need to be prepared to occupy the county seat for more than half a month, or even for a long time.

Therefore, I decided to first establish the first and second battalions of the standing army based on your four-post standing army.

There is a camp commander who is responsible for commanding the soldiers and directing the battle.

There is a battalion deputy responsible for assisting the battalion command.

There is also a battalion military and political officer who is responsible for supervising military discipline, enforcing military laws, and providing ideological education to the soldiers, teaching them literacy, arithmetic, etc.

Each battalion temporarily has six sentries, and the first five sentries are soldiers - the original soldiers are also soldiers, but they also serve as cooks.

The sixth post has a 30-man scout team, directly led by the battalion commander; a 30-man military law team, directly led by military and political officers.

In addition, there will be a 20-member medical team; 18 guards, 10 distribution battalion commanders, and 4 military and political officers and battalion deputies.

There are two more civil servants: one is the clerical officer, who is in charge of writing records and confidential texts in the camp; the second is the logistics officer, who is in charge of the money and grain expenditures and related accounts in the camp. "

Having said this, Liu Sheng stopped and rested for a while.

The first is to give An Jun and Wang Dalu time to take meeting minutes.

The second is to give a few people time to digest and understand.

After An Jun and Wang Dalu stopped holding their homemade sketch pens, Liu Sheng continued.

“In addition, the battalion commander still serves as the first sentry commander, and the battalion deputy also serves as the second sentry commander.

At the same time, each post is equipped with a deputy, who can replace the commander in commanding the battle.

Finally, the army has expanded and become more formal, and it is time for our Hua Department to pay military salaries to the soldiers. "

After hearing this, several people looked serious, not surprised.

Throughout the ages, there may be armies that do not require military pay for a while, but there is absolutely no army that does not require military pay all the time.

Therefore, it is inevitable for the Hua Department to develop and pay military salaries to its soldiers.

After a pause, Liu Sheng continued: "I asked, the soldiers recruited in Runing Mansion are paid two taels of silver per month for regular soldiers, and one tael for auxiliary soldiers. If they go to war, there are often rewards.

However, even if they recruit soldiers, the salary they receive is only [-]% to [-]%.It's just that the soldiers can eat enough, but the auxiliary soldiers can't.

Therefore, if officers and soldiers want to support their families in addition to supporting themselves, they must make money from other sources.

For example, receiving rewards for meritorious service, or robbing people.

Our rebels’ pay doesn’t need to be much higher than that of officers and soldiers, it’s just about the same.

All the soldiers in the standing army are paid [-] taels per month compared to the officers and soldiers.The salary of pro-soldiers is higher, three liang per month.

As for the monthly pay for general officers at all levels, we can discuss it in detail later, and it can be adjusted after it is formulated.

Having said this, you may be thinking, would it be too little for the rebels to receive a salary similar to that of the official army?
The rebel army has strict military discipline and is not allowed to plunder the people. Will the soldiers be unable to feed their wives and children? "

At this point, Liu Sheng stopped and looked at a few people.

Peng Youyi was the first to express his position loudly: "Our whole family was saved by the leader. Now the leader allows us to have enough food and clothing, and we will be able to get land in the future. It doesn't matter if we don't need military pay. Who would complain about the lack of pay and silver?"

As he said that, Peng Youyi looked at the other people, as if he was going to get up and beat anyone who really said they were paid less.

Liu Erhe also expressed his position: "Chief, no one will complain about the lack of pay - we are not officers and soldiers, and we will not deduct the pay of our soldiers."

Liu Sheng nodded, "Erhe is right, our Hua Department will not deduct military pay from top to bottom, and we will never allow the deduction of military pay. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed!"

When it came to the latter part, Liu Sheng was extremely serious and murderous.

This made all six of them shiver.

Liu Sheng then smiled and said: "Relying on harsh punishments and laws to avoid the deduction of military pay can only be done for a while, but it is difficult to control it for a long time.

Our rebel army cannot repeat the mistakes of the Ming army, so when I return, I will establish a new military pay distribution system to try to avoid the possibility of soldiers being deducted from their military pay.

I haven't figured out how to do it specifically, but I definitely won't let military chiefs get paid for it anymore. "

Liu Sheng could settle the matter of military pay with one word. He told these generals to ventilate the situation in advance to avoid any estrangement.

After all, the army depends on the command of generals. No matter how powerful Liu Sheng is, he cannot directly command many soldiers.

In the early days of the rise of power, it was equivalent to drawing on a blank sheet of paper, and many systems could be established without any hindrance.

Communicate to relevant subordinates in advance, let them understand why they are doing this, and even let them express their support for doing so, so that the system can be implemented better when implemented.

The four of them, Peng Youyi, were all promoted from poor people at the bottom by Liu Sheng within a few months. There was no such thing as military pay before, so no one thought about making a fortune by withholding military pay.

On the contrary, he despised the Ming army's practice of deducting military pay.

After listening to Liu Sheng's words, they all nodded, thinking that it would be great if the system could prevent the deduction of wages.

"In addition, the price of food has increased several times or even more than ten times due to the famine, so the monthly salary seems to be only two taels.

But in our Chinese region, as long as we are allowed to trade in the future, the price of food will never be as high as outside, but will be close to the price in normal years, or even lower.

Finally, our Chinese Ministry will try our best to arrange jobs for the soldiers’ families so that the soldiers’ families can also earn money and food.

In this way, our officers and men from the Chinese Department don’t have to worry about not being able to support their families in the future. "

Several people had not thought of this far before, but now they all nodded after hearing Liu Sheng's words.

Peng Youyi couldn't help but said: "Since the leader has thought carefully, he can just tell us to do it. We all believe in the leader."

Liu Sheng said: "I am not saying this because I think we don't trust each other. I hope you can understand my thoughts and convey the thoughts of this meeting to the soldiers.

Especially you two military and political officials, this is your job, and it must be implemented in place, do you understand? "

"Students understand!"

An Jun and Wang Dalu both solemnly agreed.Then, Liu Sheng took out a prepared brochure from the desk and stood up, saying: "Now I announce the appointment of the main generals of the first and second battalions of the standing army!"

Wen You and the other six people stood up immediately after hearing this. They all stood upright with solemn expressions.

"Peng Youyi is now appointed as the commander of the first battalion of the standing army, Zheng Erli is the deputy of the first battalion, and An Jun is the military and political officer of the first battalion!"

"Wen You is now appointed as the commander of the [-]nd Battalion of the Standing Army, Liu Erhe as the deputy of the [-]nd Battalion, and Wang Dalu as the military and political officer of the [-]nd Battalion!"

"This order was signed by Liu Sheng, the leader of Huabu, on September 24th, the first year of Huabu!"

After hearing such a formal appointment order, which even directly abandoned the Ming emperor's chronology and switched to the Huabu chronology, the six people couldn't help but boil with excitement.

Then they straightened up and clasped their fists towards Liu Sheng and said, "We'll take the order!"

"All sit down."

Liu Sheng said, took the lead and sat down, and handed the appointment letter he just took out to An Jun, indicating that he would distribute it to several others.

Speaking of which, this is the first batch of official paper appointment certificates from the Chinese Ministry.

These generals have also stepped up their literacy and learning arithmetic in the past few months, but they can all understand it. For a while, they all couldn't put it down with their appointment certificates.

I saw only black and white words on the paper, and the appointment was written clearly in just two sentences.

It was also stamped with the seal of "Head of the Hua Tribe" that Liu Sheng had someone carved at some time, and the signature of "Liu Sheng".

"After breakfast, Liu Changhe and Hu Dongliu have already led [-] soldiers from the fishing and hunting group to escort refugees with families and single women to migrate to Tianmu Mountain.

After the meeting, I will take the pro-army and the remaining [-] soldiers from the Fishing and Hunting Group, escort the craftsmen, doctors, and prisoners, and then take some young and strong men among the refugees and some supplies, and set foot on the road to Tianmu Mountain. .

After I left, Peng Youyi led the first battalion to guard the east and south gates of the county government, and Wen You led the second battalion to guard the food and other supplies in the county government.

There will be left outside the city the eight hundred standing army recruits I have selected for you, as well as the single strong men among the two thousand refugees.

After you divide the new soldiers and the strong refugees equally, you will each train four new sentries and two battalions of civilian warriors (500 people), and let the civilian warriors assist you in patrolling the city wall.

Remember, you can arrange for a small number of veterans to join the new guard posts and become generals among the brave civilians.

But we must not add too many new recruits to the original veteran posts, lest all posts in the camp lose their combat effectiveness. Do you understand? "

"understand!"

Liu Sheng looked at the few people who nodded slightly, and then said: "Now, each of you will write down a list of 16 generals and give them to me. They can be corps commanders, commanders, or captains.

Write down their time of enlistment and their merits, and I will select from them 12 standing army sentry officers and 4 battalion commanders of the civilian brave battalions. "

In the past, when each sentry was established, the team officers were appointed by Liu Sheng; now that a standing military camp-level unit is established, it is natural for Liu Sheng to appoint the sentry officers.

Therefore, Peng Youyi and Wen You, as the chief officers of the battalion, did not dare to say anything. They agreed, took white paper, sketch pens, and ink, and started writing.

Wen You was originally a Tongsheng, so writing this was a trivial matter, and he finished it in a short time.

Peng Youyi gritted his teeth and spent more than half an hour, calling An Jun and Wang Dalu for help, to finish writing the nomination.

Liu Sheng actually knew the generals of each sentry, so after reading the list, he quickly selected 12 standing army sentry officers, as well as 4 civilian commanders and 4 civilian commanders.

Then, he wrote three formal centralized appointment letters, stamped and signed them, and handed them to Peng Youyi and Wen You.

He couldn't help but warn: "Lao Peng, it takes you a long time to write a nomination, and your cultural level still needs to continue to improve.

If you want to be a general of our Chinese tribe, you must not only be brave in battle, but also have a certain culture, remember? "

Peng Youyi nodded with a grimace, "I remember."

After all the affairs of Queshan County were arranged, Liu Sheng led his own army and a hundred standing troops to escort the craftsmen, doctors, and prisoners out of the city.

After meeting up with more than two thousand refugee men outside the city, they walked together along the official road towards Tianmu Mountain with peace of mind.

There were only craftsmen and doctors in his team. As for the families of these people, they followed the refugee team with families in front and took the first step.

This is naturally done to facilitate the escort and prevent the craftsmen from escaping halfway - after all, most of the craftsmen were forced to move, and it is normal for some people to want to escape.

As for doctors, there are three in total, and then there are a few apprentices.

Since there were only a few doctors in the county, it was hard for Liu Sheng to rob everyone.

However, after this incident of kidnapping the craftsmen, Liu Sheng felt that he would not have to do this next time.

Because after a while, the Hua Department will grow rapidly. By then, with the deterrence of the military and the lure of interests, Liu Sheng does not believe that he will not be able to attract craftsmen to join him.

Speaking of which, in the late Ming Dynasty, folk craftsmen had more freedom and lived a better life than ordinary people, so they were unwilling to "become thieves".

If you encounter craftsmen who are centrally controlled and oppressed by the government, they should be happy to be rescued and join the rebel army.

···
three days later.

The procession of craftsmen, captives, refugee men, and mules and horses meandered into the distance over the thirsty fields.

Farmers could be seen harvesting corn in the fields.

But when they saw this migrating team of tens of thousands of people from a distance, they were so scared that they hid in the village.

There were several covered carriages in the group further back.

The people in the car were the Qian and Luo family members who were enthusiastically invited by Liu Sheng to visit Tianmu Mountain.

A round-faced girl stuck her head out of the car window and wanted to look forward.

But I found that I could only see the long migration team and the thirsty wilderness, and nothing else could be seen.

Instead, he choked on the dust raised by the team.

"Ahem, mother, when can we get to Tianmu Mountain?" The round-faced girl couldn't help complaining, "We've been gone for three days, and if I don't take a shower, I'll be rotten."

　[First update. 】

　　"Now appointed" actually has the same meaning as "hereby appointed". At first I wanted to use "hereby appointed", but I always felt that it didn't fit with the atmosphere of this book, so I used "now appointed" instead.
