Chapter 174 Recruitment

Chapter 174 Recruitment
Liu Yin is obviously not willing to wait. God knows where the next round of war will burn. He has just taken over the new army, and there are too many things to do. The first thing is to let the new army form a fighting force. Tiger step The battalion and the tiger cavalry battalion originally belonged to the imperial forest army, with first-class equipment, especially the tiger cavalry battalion, which can be regarded as the leading cavalry in the Shu army, but none of these imperial forest troops have experienced battlefield experience. Perhaps they are not as good as Fu Qian's half battalion.

So the top priority now is to reorganize Fu Qian's Yang'an camp.In the establishment of the Han army, there is no designation such as which army or battalion of the later generations. The imperial forest army of the emperor has special titles, such as the Yulin Army, the Huben Army, and the Tiger Step Camp. The elite divisions of the field troops also have special titles, such as Baier Army and Wudang Flying Army, but the vast majority of troops have no designation. Most of the field troops are called by the name of the leading general, such as Jiang Weijun and Zhang Yijun, while the garrison troops are called by the name of the station, such as Jiangyou Shou Army, Langzhong garrison.The battalion led by Fu Qian can be called Fu Qian Camp or Yang'an Camp. Although Yang'an Pass has already fallen, Fu Qian still likes to call this army Yang'an Camp, because Yang'an Pass is the The pain in his heart will never go away. To maintain the designation of the Yang'an garrison, Fu Qian just wants to tell all his subordinates that he will never give up without bloody shame.

The reserve soldiers on Bingcao's side are temporarily hopeless, so Liu Yin decided to recruit soldiers by himself to relieve the urgent need.

According to the principle of conscription in the Han Dynasty, for example, only sons of good families were recruited to join the army.In the Han Dynasty, it refers to those who joined the army and were not in the seven disciplines, or were not the children of doctors, witches, merchants, and hundreds of craftsmen, they were good family sons.Later generations regarded slaves and prostitutes as untouchables, and ordinary people as good people, so they were used to call the children of good people. The distinction between good and low is an important class boundary.According to this principle, the scope of conscription is much narrower.

Therefore, Liu Yin first broke the stereotypes, recruiting soldiers did not pick out their backgrounds, but only looked at their physical fitness, as long as they met the standards, regardless of whether they were good or bad, they would all be conscripted into the army.

After the fall of Hanzhong, many Hanzhong people became refugees and came to Shuzhong. Now the imperial court puts the main energy on the battle against Wei, and all the manpower and material resources are tilted to the front. Naturally, there is no guarantee that these refugees can get For relief, the refugees suffered from hunger and cold, and countless people died of starvation on the road.

Since Liu Yin set up a list to recruit soldiers in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu, countless refugees and untouchables have flocked here. There are huge crowds of people. Although they all know that fighting will kill people, the biggest advantage of the army is that they have food and pay, so they will not starve to death. In addition, Liu Yin didn't choose his background, so there was a huge crowd of people who signed up.

Although Liu Yin sympathized with the plight of these refugees, his army was not a refugee shelter after all, so Liu Yin issued an order to the generals and schools in charge of recruiting soldiers to strictly follow the requirements of recruiting soldiers, only recruiting qualified soldiers, and no one was allowed to favoritism.

The assessment for recruiting soldiers is actually very simple, as long as you can lift a stone lock of two hundred catties or draw a strong bow with two stones, you can pass.But don't underestimate these two selection requirements. Ninety percent of the applicants fall into these two items. Physical fitness is a rigid requirement. Liu Yin does not discount this aspect. Without a strong physique, there is no There is no way to deal with high-intensity combat.

Of course, if you have superb archery skills or high martial arts skills, you don't need to conduct a simple strength test.However, compared to defeating a few powerful soldiers in combat or shooting a bow and arrow into the heart of an arrow target a hundred steps away, many refugees are more willing to try their luck on the stone lock or the two-stone strong bow.

After passing the examination and registering in the register, they can receive a set of crimson red straight train uniforms of the Han army and become a member of the new Shu Han army.For those who failed the assessment, Liu Yin also ordered each person to distribute one liter of rice as compensation.

Many men who received military uniforms were elated, while those who walked out of the crowd carrying rice bags were dejected. The two formed a sharp contrast.

The recruiting went quite smoothly, but it only took three or four days to recruit two to three thousand people. The Yang'an camp lacked 3000 people, and this number was quickly made up.According to the regulations of the imperial court, any army has an upper limit of staffing, and no overstaffing is allowed, and the army's food and salary are distributed according to the number of people who are fully staffed.

However, the private soldiers of the generals are not included in this establishment. The food and salaries of the private soldiers are paid by the head of the family and have nothing to do with the court. Strictly speaking, the court has no express regulations on how many private soldiers each noble family can have. But this thing has always been relatively sensitive. If you have a large number of private soldiers, you will often be suspected by the superiors, and you will think that you have a heart of disobedience. Therefore, the noble families of the scholars are not ignorant in cultivating private soldiers. The ground pulls people to make up the number, but most of them choose the elite and take the route of elite soldiers. They dare not say that they are one against ten, but it is definitely not a big problem to take out a private soldier to resist two or three ordinary officers and soldiers.

Naturally, it was impossible for Liu Yin to blatantly expand the number of private soldiers in the Anping Prince's Mansion. In this Yinping blockade, the private soldiers were exhausted and they were urgently needed to be replenished. Among the soldiers.

Being able to be a private soldier of Anping Prince's Mansion means better treatment and more pay. For the strict, many people can only sigh.

Liu Yin's selection of private soldiers is not only to assess whether they have two strengths, can lift a stone lock or draw two stone bows, but also to assess the overall quality of the recruits, some hunters with strong archery skills and some experienced hunters A man with martial arts became the first choice of Liu Yin's private army.

Liu Yin handed over the training of troops to Fu Qian, Gao Yuan, and Deng Pu, and he was in charge of recruiting recruits. However, there were more than one recruiting point in the eastern suburbs, and Liu Yin had to do it himself, so naturally he had to Go back and forth between points.

At a recruiting point, Liu Yin personally assessed several recruits and found that they were all good at martial arts. After questioning, he found out that these recruits were originally hunters, and they had been hunting for a living in the deep mountains for many years. They all practiced good skills and excellent archery. Because the Wei army invaded their hometown and were forced to make a living, they could only become refugees and came to Chengdu.

Satisfied, Liu Yin summoned them to his own soldiers and set off for the next recruiting point.

There was a sea of ​​people in front of him, and the crowd gathered around them. They were watching a young man shoot an arrow, but the arrow was like a shooting star, and it hit the red bull's-eye with incomparable precision.
