Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 207
Hearing Zhang Li mentioning these people, Liu Bai was taken aback. Although he is the prefect of Xiezhou and the same prefect, and his status is only under Zhang Li, how dare he let these people go?
This is blatantly pushing his colleagues into the fire pit. Even if this matter can be negotiated, he will never even think about being an official in the future.Can the person sent to negotiate spare him in the future?That's not to blame him for black material!
Liu Bai hastily waved his hands and said, "My lords, my lords, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that we first send someone to find out what the rogues are saying. If the rogues want to negotiate, then we can choose someone to go out and talk to them." , do you think this will work?"

Seeing Liu Bai's low-pitched look, Zhang Li finally let out a breath of anger. This kid used to always make trouble for him, but he was a prefect and fellow prefect, and Zhang Li had nothing to do with him. Today, he finally grabbed his sore foot and ruthlessly Take him.

The so-called killing is nothing more than a nod, Zhang Li can't force Liu Bai too much, seeing Liu Bai subdued, Zhang Li immediately accepts it.

Waving his hand, Zhang Li said: "Let's discuss this matter later. If the rogues still continue to besiege the city after a while, it's not too late to negotiate with the rogues. It's too early to talk about it now. The rogues think I'm afraid, and they will be lions." Open your mouth."

Everyone nodded when they heard it.

All the people here are also good people. Although they despise Liu Bai in their hearts, they will not run on Liu Bo at this time. If so, then you will not know how to be a human being.

……

Outside Anyi City.

Li Jing frowned and paced slowly in the military tent.

Wang Ziyong wrote back, in which he clearly told Li Jing that it was possible to attack the city, but this time Li Jing's men must take the lead, otherwise they would not attack the city.

Li Jing also knew that it would be difficult for Wang Ziyong to attack such a fortified city.

Everyone is not a fool, and will send people to investigate the situation in the city before the siege.

For a city within a city like Yuncheng, even if the king can use these people to defeat them in the end, at least half of his troops will have to be lost.

The same is true for Jincheng to the west of Lingchuan. Li Jing has been coveting Jincheng for a long time, but in the end he finally refrained from doing anything, because the price to be paid to break through such a city within a city is too high for Li Jing to bear.

Strong attack is definitely not enough, so is there any way to give full play to your artillery advantage?As long as the advantage of artillery is brought into play, it will not be difficult to capture Anyi.

It would be great if a heavy artillery with a larger caliber can be built. If there is a heavy artillery in hand, no matter what kind of strong city it is, it will be a decoration.

Shaking his head, Li Jing stopped his random thoughts and walked out of the military tent. When the cold wind blew, he suddenly became more awake.

Look at the training ground, it's not bad, although Li Jing didn't ask everyone to train during the Chinese New Year, but the people below are very conscious.Team officers and sentry officers consciously lead the soldiers under them for training.

Seeing Li Jing approaching, several officers hurriedly saluted. Li Jing waved his hand, indicating that everyone should continue and ignore him.

Seeing a group of people poking their heads in the corner of the training ground, Li Jing was curious, and walked over lightly. After a closer look, it was Sun Huacheng who was leading a group of recruits to spy on the veterans training.

That day Sun Huacheng fought fiercely with a group of recruits all night, and when Li Jing visited him, he was sleeping.Later, Li Jing took the time to ask Zhang Chu to find him, rewarded him face to face, and ordered Zhang Chu to be promoted as a sentry officer. Of course, he led all the recruits.

Sun Huacheng's extraordinary promotion greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the recruits.

Due to the recruitment of a large number of recruits, the quality of the soldiers varies. Yuan Keli suggested that Li Jing formulate a new military service system, that is, a three-tier system for recruits, auxiliary soldiers, and regular soldiers.

Unless there are special reasons, recruits cannot directly participate in the battle. They need to train for a period of time, and then undergo a basic assessment. Only those who pass the screening can be transferred to auxiliary soldiers. Only auxiliary soldiers are eligible to participate in combat.

The salary for recruits is also relatively low, only a few coins a month.

The main purpose of doing this is to take the route of elite soldiers, and it also improves the status of regular soldiers.It is also equivalent to telling the common people that it is not so easy to become a soldier in the Jishi Army.

Of course, under Li Jing's rule, everyone knew the treatment of the regular soldiers of the Jishi Army. The third-class soldiers at the lowest level received three taels of silver every month, which was more than enough to feed a dozen people.

Moreover, there are many benefits to being a soldier. For example, the family members of the soldier are farming, business tax is halved, and even breaking the law, the penalty is halved.

Sun Huacheng had been recruited for less than a month, not only was he promoted as a soldier of the Vanguard Battalion, he was also appointed as the sentry officer of the recruit team. This promotion speed caught up with the rocket.

The monthly salary has been directly increased from a few dollars to a few taels, which has been doubled several times, which makes the recruits envious.

At this time, the recruits are eager to have another big battle. Then they will definitely perform well. Once they have made meritorious service, it is not impossible to be promoted to a regular soldier.

Of course, they are also very satisfied now, because all the recruits who participated in the defense of Yicheng, Li Jing ordered Zhang Chu to transfer them directly to auxiliary soldiers afterwards, which is also a great reward.

Hearing Li Jing's footsteps, Sun Huacheng turned his head abruptly, saw that it was Li Jing, and hurried forward to pay his respects.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Hua Cheng, what are you doing here?"

Sun Huacheng scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Marshal Qi, I will take my brothers to see how the veterans train. You know, my grandson is a big bastard, how can he train soldiers? But Marshal and Zhang Zongzhen let me serve as the sentry officer, so I can't embarrass you, no, I brought my brothers to learn from others."

Li Jing nodded slightly after hearing this.

Although Sun Huacheng and others were promoted exceptionally, these people were promoted to auxiliary soldiers because of their accumulated meritorious service. In fact, the most basic things have not been trained well, and they cannot touch the things trained by veterans for the time being.

"Good! Good!" Li Jing patted Sun Huacheng on the shoulder: "Hua Cheng, Zhang Chu saw you right. You have this spirit. I believe you will be able to train your subordinates into elite soldiers in the future."

Sun Huacheng grinned and said, "Don't worry, Commander, my grandson will definitely not embarrass him."

"Good job! Study hard, and I will ask Zhang Chu to order you to be a pioneer." Li Jing said with a smile.

Sun Huacheng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Commander."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the brothers under him, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, you have heard it, the commander-in-chief himself agreed, and I will be mentioned as a pioneer in the future. You bastards are not allowed to embarrass me. After returning , just double train Lao Tzu as they do.”

"Yes! Sentinel!" All the soldiers responded loudly.

Li Jing smiled, waved to Sun Huacheng, turned and left.

After thinking about it, Li Jing walked to the recruit training ground.

He wanted to see what Li Dingguo was doing.

Due to the sudden expansion of Zhang Chu's vanguard battalion, the originally only 500 troops are now divided into five battalions. Sun Huacheng's sentry was incorporated into Li Dingguo's command.

Since Sun Huacheng had time to bring his troops down to watch the training of the veterans, it must be that Li Dingguo did not arrange training tasks for these people.

If we don't focus on armaments, then Li Jing will have to think carefully about how to arrange Li Dingguo.

When I arrived at the recruit training ground, I saw the recruits training in full swing. I looked around, but found no figure of Li Dingguo. Li Jing frowned and walked towards Li Dingguo's camp.

Looking at the door, seeing that there were no personal soldiers stationed there, Li Jingjing nodded. Fortunately, he had not become a battalion officer before he began to put on airs as a battalion officer.

After entering the tent, Li Jing was taken aback, and saw that Li Dingguo was reading a book without distraction. Li Jing shook his head lightly, thinking: "What book to read at this time, can't you read it after training?"

But seeing Li Dingguo studying, most of Li Jing's anger has dissipated.

At this time, Li Jing understood why Sun Huacheng went to the training ground for veterans. It must be because Li Dingguo was not there. Sun Huacheng felt that the training for new recruits was boring, so he led the team to watch the training of veterans secretly.

Li Jing coughed lightly, reminding Li Dingguo that someone had entered his camp.

Hearing someone coughing lightly, Li Dingguo hurriedly raised his head, saw that it was Li Jing coming in, and hurriedly got up and said, "See Commander, why do you have time to come to my place?"

Seeing that Li Dingguo was about to pour tea for himself, Li Jing waved his hand and asked, "What book are you reading? Why didn't you go to train soldiers?"

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Normal training has the deputy battalion officer and officers at all levels below to catch it. I won't join in the fun. They are still cautious when I am present. Why don't you come back and read the book and learn how to fight."

Li Jingqi said: "Why are they so cautious when you are present?"

Li Dingguo scratched his head and said, "It's not because I'm your son. I'm so young. Everyone feels embarrassed to train those adults. I don't need to show my skills in front of them. I might as well think about it when I have time. Fight a war, lead them to fight a few beautiful battles in the future, they will naturally be convinced."

Li Jing nodded again and again, a child can be taught.

Smiling, Li Jing went to Li Dingguo's place and sat down. He picked up the book Li Dingguo was reading and looked through it.

"Do you understand?" Li Jing asked.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, I still don't quite understand it." Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said.

Li Jing scolded and said, "It's just the two of us here, what are you called Dashuai, Daddy!"

"Yes! Grandfather!" Li Dingguo corrected himself.

Li Jing shook his head, knowing that Li Dingguo didn't want to break the rules in the barracks.

But for Li Dingguo's performance, Li Jing actually liked it more.

He beckoned to Li Dingguo and said, "Come here, let me tell you what you don't understand."

Li Dingguo came over, pointed to the open book and said: "Sun Tzu said: The law of using soldiers is that the whole country is the top priority, followed by breaking the country; the whole army is the top priority, followed by breaking the army; the whole brigade is the top priority, followed by breaking the brigade; The pawns are the highest, followed by the broken soldiers; the whole army is the highest, and the broken army is the second. Therefore, winning every battle is not good;
