Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 164 Selection of Soldiers, Suzaku Battalion Officer
According to Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, the Great Western Army's evaluation of elites is mainly based on military exploits, followed by bravery.

Military exploits mainly include how many battles (regardless of victory or defeat) you have participated in, how many levels you have beheaded, and how many credits you have obtained, such as kicking the city and breaking the formation.

Because the Great Western Army has been fighting in the wild before, and rarely conducts long-distance and long-distance divisional operations, the item "how many battles they have participated in" actually hides their seniority.

As for passing the assessment of martial prowess, it depends on the standards of the generals, and there is no fixed rule.

Considering the above situation, in order to avoid causing military chaos, this reorganization will not overturn the levels of elite soldiers, brave soldiers, and mob soldiers that the Great Western Army used to divide on a large scale.

Rather, selection is made on this basis.

The first one is the age limit.

All soldiers and soldiers must be between 16 and 45 years old.

The young soldiers aged 12 to 15 are all temporarily assigned to the training camp, and will be subject to the arrangements of the Supervisory Government after the training is over.

As for those under the age of 12, they will naturally be sent to an orphanage, and the Jian Guofu will pay for their education.

Those who are between 45 and 55 years old and in good health will be assigned to the garrison army or the industrial army according to their personal wishes and abilities.

As for those over 55 years old, they will be temporarily raised by the Jianguo Mansion to do some light manual work.

When his hometown is too safe and stable, if he has family members and is willing to go back to his hometown, Jian Guofu will give him a severance pay and send him back to his hometown.

What must be mentioned here is that in the background of the late Ming Dynasty, among the troops of the Daxi Army, which was mobile and fought all the year round, there were quite a few veterans over the age of 55, even those between 45 and 55 years old.

After all, the physical fitness of modern people will begin to decline significantly when they reach the age of 40, and people in the late Ming Dynasty will only decline even more after they reach the age of 40.

In many places, people over the age of 40 call themselves old husbands and are called old husbands by others. They are all grandparents.

According to the final statistics through reorganization, there are only two to 45 veterans between the ages of 55 and 3000 in the surrendered Daxi Army, and more than half of them joined after entering Sichuan.

As for the old soldiers over the age of 55, there are only 200 of them.

After passing the age limit, "pinch out" part of the moisture in the elite soldiers and soldiers who dare to fight.

In this reorganization, the test of physical fitness and the performance of personal bravery gave the soldiers who dared to fight and the mob soldiers a way to make progress.

As long as your physical fitness is good enough, or you have a certain degree of bravery, you can become a soldier or even a strong soldier.

As for the rest, those who have not exceeded the age limit and want to continue to receive military pay can only become auxiliary soldiers.

Among the auxiliary soldiers, only those who are under the age of 25 and in good health can be divided into the first three military systems of the Royal Forest Army, the Imperial Guard Army, and the Frontier Defense Army.

As for those over the age of 25, they will only be divided into the garrison army and the industrial army.

According to the above rules, the generals of the former Daxi Army will cooperate with the generals of the Chengdu Front Army, and under the leadership of the Recruitment Department and the Military Training Department, the selection and classification of soldiers will be carried out in an orderly manner.

Among them, the recruitment department is temporarily headed by Liu Zhenfan, and the military training department is temporarily headed by Ma Ke.

Hong Niangzi was appointed as the interim military affairs assistant of the Jian Guofu, and was responsible for an overview of the reorganization with Li Yan.

After all, the surrendered Daxi Army had 32 people, and if the original Chengdu Front Army was added, it would be 40 people.

In order to avoid having no soldiers available when needed, it is impossible to reorganize together, but to carry out part by part to ensure that there are enough troops under the Supervisory Mansion to deal with various situations.

In this way, this reorganization is destined to take a lot of time...

The big reorganization began on August [-]th, that is, the afternoon when Li Yan and others discussed the reorganization plan. It began with the surrender of the Dongdaying army originally led by Li Dingguo.

The original Dongdaying has been demolished, and the new Dongdaying is one to two miles away from the east city wall.

Turning his head and looking at the cannons on the city wall, even ordinary soldiers knew that the new East Day Camp was completely within the firing range of the cannons on the city wall of Chengdu, and they dared not mess around.

On the afternoon when the reorganization started, Li Dingguo followed Liu Zhenfan, Yang Zhan and others to the new East Camp.

Xu You, Jin Tongwu, Ma Siliang and other Li Dingguo cronies will be very happy to see him.

Although it was less than two days since Li Dingguo left the night before, Xu You and the others felt as if a long time had passed.

"General!"

"Is the general all right?"

The generals couldn't help but chattered and asked questions, which shows that Li Dingguo is loved by the generals and soldiers in the army.

"I'm fine." Li Dingguo replied first.

Immediately, he found a Wang station and went up to speak with the megaphone given to him by Aimee Zhu.

"My comrades, since we have decided to surrender, we must cooperate with the reorganization of the Jian Guo Mansion this time.

After reorganization, some of you will be included under my command.But those who are not assigned to me will have a suitable place.

As for the details, I will explain this reorganization to you later, and you will understand.

But before that, I want to tell you one thing.From now on, I will restore my original surname to Li and become Li Dingguo! "

Li Dingguo's last words made the generals around and the soldiers farther away stunned.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo didn't care, and then explained the specific policies of this reorganization...
When Li Dingguo finished speaking and returned to the small courtyard where the three of his brothers lived with Zhang Xianzhong in Jianguo Mansion, it was already almost You o'clock in the afternoon (five o'clock).

He knew that Qi Yuanshu and Wan Chengfang would come to see Zhang Xianzhong again this afternoon, so he came back quite eagerly.

Entering the courtyard, he saw Liu Wenxiu was brewing medicine, so he hurriedly asked, "Has the doctor been here? How is the foster father's injury?"

Liu Wenxiu raised her head and said with a smile: "Doctor Qi said that the burns on foster father's body were already infected and inflamed, but after taking the pills and ointment given by the princess, the symptoms have improved.

Not surprisingly, the adoptive father will no longer lose his life due to burns and inflammation on the body surface. "

After hearing these words, Li Dingguo also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking: "When will the righteous father wake up?"

Liu Wenxiu said: "Doctor Wan gave acupuncture to my adoptive father today, but it didn't help. Doctor Wan said that it is impossible for my adoptive father to wake up in a short time.

May be comatose for several years, or even a lifetime. "

Although he had expected this result, Li Dingguo couldn't help but frown.

Liu Wenxiu said again: "Second brother, I think this is pretty good now.

If the adoptive father really wakes up and knows that he has become a prisoner of the official army, we will lead hundreds of thousands of Western troops to return to the court, and we don't know how sad and angry we will be. "

Li Dingguo thought the same.

But he also hoped that another situation would appear - Zhang Xianzhong would wake up, understand the events in the original history and the changes in the world today, and be able to affirm the choices of the three of them.

To achieve this goal, he must lead the surrendered Great Western Army officers and soldiers to make more military exploits and make the princess's rule better.

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo said, "The three of us will take care of the adoptive father from now on."

Liu Wenxiu said: "The princess has sent someone to spread the word that after the adoptive father's condition stabilizes, he will select a few people close to the adoptive father from the old camp to take care of him.

We are going to live outside the Prince of Shu's mansion, but we can visit our adoptive father at any time. "

Li Dingguo knew it was impossible.

The Shu Palace is now called the Jianguo Mansion, which is equivalent to the imperial city. As generals, it is impossible for them to live in the Shu Palace all the time, and it is inevitable to move out.

So Li Dingguo sighed, "I see."

···
Carrier Hall.

Aunt Zhu is summoning Dong Qiongying.

"I heard that Miss Dong will marry General Zeng in a few days?"

Dong Qiongying looked over in surprise when she heard the words, obviously she didn't expect Auntie Zhu to know about it.

Even though she has a sassy personality, when it comes to marriage, she can't help but blush a little bit shyly, nodded and said: "I have something to report to the supervisor."

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "At that time, the palace will definitely send someone to send a congratulatory gift."

Dong Qiongying knew that Auntie Zhu is actually equivalent to a "monarch" now.

Therefore, Auntie Zhu's congratulatory gift can not help but represent her heart, and it is also an honor for Zeng Ying and her.

So he bowed happily: "Thank you, Jianguo, the final general!"

Aunt Zhu motioned for her to get up, before bringing up the matter, "After the wedding, are you going to stay at home and raise your children, or continue to serve in the army?"

After all, Dong Qiongying's temperament is quite straightforward. After chatting with Aimee Zhu for a while, she relaxed a lot. Hearing this, she hesitated a little and said: "Of course the general hopes to continue serving in the army, but if he becomes pregnant, he may have to resign. Return home."

After hearing this, Auntie Zhu couldn't help being slightly silent.

She has always insisted on understanding the things of later generations every day, so she knows that even though men and women are claimed to be equal in later generations, they have never really been equal—the fundamental reason is that men and women are different in their biological structures.

Things like pregnancy and childbirth are a big trouble for women even in later life.

Of course, the fertility rate in the Great Hua Kingdom of later generations has been decreasing year after year. In order to encourage childbearing, the treatment of pregnant women has been increased a lot.

But on Daming's side, if they want pregnant women to work, not to mention whether Wenwu of Jian Guo Fu will agree, Zeng Ying and Dong Qiongying probably won't do it.

After all, pregnancy and childbirth are still a very dangerous thing nowadays, and there is no need to have a lot of medical insurance in future generations.

After thinking for a while, Aunt Zhu said, "If Miss Dong really wants to serve in the army, I can issue a decree to allow pregnant women to take one year's maternity leave. After the leave expires, they can still take up the original post."

Aimee Zhu has actually considered this matter for a long time.

Even if there is no Dong Qiongying, Hong Niangzi, her and other women under her may become pregnant in the future, and this person cannot be resigned as soon as she becomes pregnant.

If that's the case, will she also hand over the power of supervising the country when she becomes pregnant in the future?

Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the civil and military groups in hand are small and easy to control, and directly issue orders to finalize relevant policies.

Dong Qiongying was slightly taken aback when she heard what Auntie Zhu said, and then bowed again: "Thank you Jian Guocheng!"

Aunt Zhu smiled and said, "You don't have to thank me, I need your help here. The Vermilion Bird Battalion is about to be formed, but there is still a shortage of female soldiers and generals. I wonder if Miss Dong would like to lead the female soldiers to join?"
