Chapter 593

PS: two chapters first, and four chapters in the evening

"Your Highness, the total number of recruits in the six prefectures is 20000. After all, the number of young and middle-aged people in the six prefectures is limited, but relatively speaking, there are a lot of recruits in Pengzhou, Yangzhou, huaizhou and Tongzhou. Lu Fei said that there are 10000 recruits in Pengzhou alone, and the total number of recruits in huaizhou is about 25000 "The number of new recruits is more than that of Lu Fei, with a total of 30000."

In the camp of Qingzhou camp, Niu Zhen reports the conscription to Xiao Ming.

"Seventy five thousand!" Xiao Ming was a little surprised when he heard that the number had exceeded his expectation. After all, the new recruits joined the army out of their own free will, not by force.

Niu Zhen nodded and looked proud. He said, "we lost 3000 soldiers in the battle of Wei. Now these soldiers have made up for it. There are 160000 troops in total, including 100000 infantry, 40000 cavalry and 20000 chariots."

"For 160000 people, well, the annual military pay is close to 2 million taels, which does not include the money spent on horses and equipment." Xiao Ming sighed and said that if it wasn't for the war, he really didn't want to maintain such a huge military strength. The number of recruits recruited this time could almost catch up with the number of veterans before.

Niu Zhen said: "Your Highness, we don't have many soldiers. According to the last general, the king of Wei, the king of Yan, the king of Liang and the king of Zhao are all recruiting. Some of them even directly recruit strong men into the army. Now the world is in chaos. Who doesn't want to fight for the world with heavy soldiers."

"You're right, but these vassal kings' strong capture of strong men has caused great anger and resentment. I can't follow them. A stable rear is the foundation of the expedition, and the soldiers are expensive but the essence is not much. Now the number of troops has reached the number in my mind, and the four states that I have won can support the 75000 people."

"Yes, your highness." Niu said.

"In addition, the recruits should not be lax in training. You should train them as strictly as you train the Qingzhou army." Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness, if you can't do this well, you'd better go back to farming." Niu Zhen laughed a few times, and then he pointed to the school yard outside and said, "Your Highness, please see, that's the training recruits. According to the training manual, when these recruits just enter the barracks, they first need to train their physical strength, endurance and discipline. When they are strong enough to strictly abide by discipline, they will enter the firearm loading and shooting training."

Xiao Ming looks outside and asks Niu Zhen to go to the school yard with him to observe the training of these recruits.

Different from the traditional training methods of soldiers in Dayu state, Xiao Ming's army now belongs to the modern army, so the training and subjects are naturally different from those of the feudal army.

Because of this, recruits do not start training immediately after entering the army, but start physical training first. After all, if a soldier has no strength, his survival rate on the battlefield is still very low.

In the barracks just now, Niu Zhen has made a very thorough statement. Generally speaking, to train a feudal army into a modern army requires several requirements. One is the modern national concept and national concept. The other is the high martial spirit. Soldiers are no longer inferior. The third is to have strict discipline. The fourth is scientific training, including reasonable distribution of physical strength, food and drink, Sleep, the fifth is strict training, such as shooting, drilling, standing in line, folding quilts, doing internal affairs, the sixth is grass-roots Officer Selection and military academy theory learning, the seventh is standard equipment.

Now for the Qingzhou army, all the seven items have been met, which means that the Qingzhou army has completed the transformation from a feudal cold weapon army to a modern hot weapon army.

After watching the physical training of the recruits on the school field for a while, Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen walk to a resting camp where the soldiers are sitting on the ground.

And Shi Zhongchang, who is wearing a dark green uniform, is explaining to the recruits what is a nation and what is a country.

When Shi, the new battalion commander, saw Xiao Ming and Niu Zhen coming, he immediately called out: "all rise, salute!"

At Chang Shi's command, the recruits immediately got up and saluted Niu Zhen and Xiao Ming. Seeing this, Xiao Ming showed a satisfied smile. According to Niu Zhen's words, the first thing for these recruits to enter the camp was to learn to obey orders.

"Go on." Xiao Ming said that he wanted to hear how the long history of the army popularized ideological education for soldiers.

After the soldiers sat down, commander Shi talked about the hall of heroes. It was a noble thing to be a soldier. To die in battle was the most glorious place for a soldier.

Next, the commander in the army told the story of the barbarians who had bullied the state of Dayu. The soldiers gradually became excited. After all, the barbarians' atrocities were not far away from them.

After arousing the emotions of the soldiers, Chang Shi sang the battle song of Qingzhou army at the right time, and the excited faces of the soldiers turned red.

After observing the work of commander Shi in the army, Xiao Ming was relieved. He looked to the direction of Jinling City in the south. In a few months, he would move forward.

Dayu had suffered too much. He used his army as a sword to cut away the darkness that enveloped Dayu."Your Highness, are you satisfied with the training of the recruits?" Niu Zhen said with a smile when he sent Xiao Ming to the gate of Qingzhou camp.

"Barely." Xiao Ming doesn't want Niu Zhen to be too complacent. He reminds him: "the only thing that makes me dissatisfied is the selection of grass-roots generals. You need to strengthen this. I read the list in Bowen college. Many generals are generals. There are still few generals like Zhu Sansi. In a few days, I will separate the military academy from Bowen college and expand the cultivation of grass-roots generals Scale, this time you choose more excellent generals without background to study. "

Niu Zhen nodded after hearing the speech. It was not that he deliberately gave preferential treatment, but that most of the grass-roots generals were illiterate. In order to enter the college, they had to recognize characters first. It was for this reason that he chose the person who could recognize characters first.

Now that Xiao Ming has put it forward, he has to explain it.

"Why?" Xiao Ming frowned and said, "well, let's leave these generals' literacy to our king. Our king will teach them to read."

"Yes, your highness." Niu Zhen was envious that these guys were able to let the king of Qi teach in person, which was regarded as the smoke from his ancestral grave.

Xiao Ming's hard work naturally has his own considerations. If these generals are still in charge of the army, his army will inevitably have a group of generals. In this way, if such a modern army mutinies, it is a very serious thing.
