The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 111
Yes, Liu Tai needs to start reorganizing his army.

A part of the elite begging army that surrendered from Tian Zhen, a part of the elite Jin army that surrendered from Gou Xi, and the Jiushi army after Tian Sang, Cao Yi, Xu Miao and Gaoliang finally chose to surrender. .

Liu Tai needed to reorganize all kinds of miscellaneous soldiers.

Of course, Liu Tai did not eliminate them all in one go.

First, 6 people were selected from all the armies as the main force. Among them, Zhao An, Ge Xin, Zhou Ping, Tian Sang, Xu Miao, Gaoliang, and Su Jun were directly under each of the seven troops. The base is 4000 people. If the number exceeds 4000, it will not exceed 5000. For those with 5000 people, they will be responsible for weapons and equipment. For those with more than [-] people, they will be responsible for food and weapons and equipment. In this way, a total of [-] people have gone.

Liu Tai had 5000 men at his disposal, 5000 of whom were given to Tian Tian to build the navy. The remaining [-] Tiger Soldiers were under Liu Tai's personal command. Liu Ming, as Liu Tai's deputy, was responsible for the daily training of the Tiger Army. .

And these [-] soldiers, if they are not married and have children, will have priority in selecting female prisoners after winning the battle.

Even Liu Tai asked Zhang Song to purchase women. As long as they were illiterate, they were given priority to these soldiers.

Of course, these soldiers are also smart, and what they want most is the female teachers who teach children in the elementary school.

Because these female gentlemen are literate, have their own salary, and have a high social status, all soldiers who have reached the level of captain, which is probably the level of centurion, want such women to be their head wives.

Liu Tai, on the other hand, would take the initiative to hold Lalang Pei personally on other festivals except Qingming Festival.

There are two rounds. In the first round, the men choose the women. If multiple people choose the same woman, they will enter the second round, and the women will in turn choose the men.

If a man is not selected by a woman, or a woman is not selected by a man, the selection will be carried out next time.

The women who are selected in this way can choose to continue teaching in the school.

You can also stay at home to take care of your husband and children, and manage family property, such as hiring slaves to take care of the fields Liu Taifa left.

After Liu Tai became a manager or exploiter, he discovered that any official organization with a normal mind should work hard to promote each family so that single men have bonds, constraints, and pressure.

Otherwise, they will be unrestrained one by one, and the social cost of managing them will be too high.

Just like in modern society, every time a new generation comes out to rectify the workplace. This is not because the new generation has a high level of legal awareness or a strong spirit of struggle, but simply because the new generation has no so-called burden at all.

Think about it, if you have an 80-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child, no matter how harsh the environment is, as long as you can get money every month, you will choose to endure it.This may not mean that you are willing to endure it, but it is just that your family needs to wait for the rice to be cooked.

But if it were a person living alone in society, he would have nothing to do with the whole society.

For such people, no matter how courageous the people in power dare to use one or two, it is impossible to use all of them to work.

Without him, nothing can restrain such a person except his own inner morality.

One thought becomes a god, one thought becomes a devil. Isn’t such a person terrifying?

And Liu Taizhen became the person in power. When he wanted to implement any policies, he decisively focused on the family unit, especially men, to implement policies.Not to mention this era, even in the era of great liberation of productivity, women will be used as men if they do more, but men will be used as beasts.

In order to restrain these soldiers, Liu Tai asked military historians to instill in them the concept of everyone and the small family. What a man should not only take care of the small family, but also the whole family. What everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. What is the greatest soldier? The people form the nation.

At the same time, the elementary school system also began to expand enrollment. In addition to the establishment of a school in Linzi, other counties and counties also began to establish corresponding elementary schools.

However, only the children of soldiers can enter, but in addition to these soldiers, there are also children of soldiers.

In addition to family, land, and children's education, Liu Tai began to promote salary in the army after the salt vote stabilized.

Yes, even the soldiers at the lowest level can get their salary every month.

This point is separate from the government soldiers. The government soldiers generally have no salary and are basically used as county soldiers.

If the army needs to fight with the army, the soldiers will also receive a salary, but they are also prohibited from slaughtering the city after breaking it.

With the emergence of the concept of salary, Liu Tai also opened corresponding exchange channels in the army, as well as the gradually formed soldier property storage system in the Tang Dynasty.

To put it simply, a safe was built to allow soldiers to store their personal belongings. Each person pressed their fingerprints on the sealing clay, signed their identity, and used Liu Tai's credibility as a guarantee.

Then if you have valuables, get something like a tiger charm as a token, split it into two copies and take one for safekeeping.

If it is the salt stamp of an ordinary soldier, after keeping it, write the general description on the piece of wood and bamboo, and then cut it in half along the writing.

All in all, it's just about getting an insurance policy that satisfies both parties so that they have a place to store the salt stamps after they receive them.

Of course, for Liu Tai, these salt stamps are so dangerous to hold in your hands. As a soldier, how can you not enjoy them!
All military camps close to the city will have a grocery store. Anyway, if the soldiers need anything in the city, they can get it from the grocery store.

Moreover, Liu Tai will also find ways to increase production and give discounts to his soldiers.

Even in the future, Liu Tai might first set up a logistics system for the army to carry supplies to the soldiers.

Anyway, producing products is not a problem for Liu Tai. The real problem is to make salt stamps circulate in this society.

Because only when salt stamps circulate, can they gradually become a general equivalent. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to simply replace salt. If you replace all the salt, do you plan to eat it for 100 years?
With this kind of storage system for soldiers' property, Liu Tai even promised that if they sacrificed, all these properties would be sent to their families. With such a promise, the soldiers' motivation became more abundant.

Then there are the special military historians and doctors. The combined size of the two is more than 4000 people. However, compared with just being able to speak "Han Shu" to become a military historian, it is much slower to become a doctor.

Next, Liu Tai wants to build a professional branch of cavalry.

But Qingzhou itself is not a horse-raising state. If you want to form a cavalry army with a size of 5000 people, and even give them two spare horses, at least Liu Tai cannot do it now.

After working hard, I only got two thousand horses for my personal guards and two thousand horses for Zhao An. As for more, there is really no more.

As the establishment of the regular army was established, the subsequent reserves were the soldiers who combined the government army system and the land equalization system.The positioning of these government soldiers is the same as that of the original county soldiers. The only difference is that the government soldiers need to undertake daily patrols and training tasks, and even need to assist in defense if the city is attacked.

Prefectural soldiers do not need the same high-intensity training as formal soldiers, and at the same time, their family's property can also guarantee their livelihood, thereby reducing the recruitment cost of government soldiers as much as possible.

Precisely because the salary is less, the mental reward cannot be less, just like those police officers who fight for their lives against gangsters. If they really become police officers for a salary of several thousand, they will definitely become American police officers.

When encountering gangsters, regardless of the impact it will have on society, save your own life first.

Even when someone is about to commit suicide, he goes up to him and stabs him to death to prevent him from committing suicide. Everything is based on performance.

Don't say whether the other person is dead or not, just say whether you stopped him from committing suicide.

Precisely because these county soldiers assume the function of maintaining law and order to a certain extent, they will deal directly with the people, so spiritual guidance is more important than direct monetary rewards.

In the final analysis, no matter how strict the law is, it is people who enforce it.

The person in charge of training the government soldiers was Yu Yao. He did not become the general commanding the regular army under Liu Tai, but gradually became the chief instructor who selected regular troops from the government soldiers and was responsible for training the regular troops.

To put it simply, soldiers from various places need to bring their own dry food to come to Zi for a large-scale military exercise every year.

In this military exercise, some elite soldiers will be selected to be added to the regular soldiers, and at the same time, some regular soldiers who have reached their age will also be retired, thereby completing the metabolism of the entire army.

Under the county soldiers, there are corvees and migrant workers. Liu Tai will take the initiative to carry out some major projects to ensure the survival of these people and at the same time strengthen the infrastructure within his territory.

At the same time, because of the organizational nature of daily exercise, they can become heavy troops transporting supplies during wartime, thereby ensuring the logistics work of the soldiers as much as possible.

Liu Tai looked at the military history in his hands and felt that it was still too little to promote the story of the Han Dynasty among the people.

However, Xu has already developed the rudiment of opera according to his own requirements, which is quite popular among the people of Qingzhou.

Due to political reasons, Liu Tai mainly recommended this drama to be a historical drama of the Han Dynasty, and especially relied on his own memory to write a specious "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" legend.

Let Xu revise some scripts such as "Capture and Release Cao", "Borrowing the East Wind" and "Taking Jingzhou" to promote Liu Han's orthodox nature, especially Sima Yi and Cao Cao, and they will die.

In fact, the people of Qingzhou, especially the workers who worked for Liu Tai, were very receptive to the fact that the Sima family was being blackmailed to death.

After all, according to the simple values ​​​​of the common people, the Sima family is garbage. At least in the Han Dynasty, at least if there was a natural disaster, the court would more or less take care of it. No matter what happened, one of the three princes would have to go.

But the Sima family was one of the few people in the regime who didn't care about the disaster at all after a natural disaster, but focused entirely on internal fighting. Especially during the Eight Kings Rebellion, who cared about the life and death of the people.

Just like this, if those actors who played Sima Yi or other Sima officials did not go backstage to remove their makeup and were seen by the people, they would have to spit and enjoy the treatment of the leader of the Beggar Clan.

The emergence of opera, a cultural project specifically aimed at ordinary people, brought considerable help to Liu Tai's desire to promote Hanism, the Han nation, and Han culture.

At least let your voice be conveyed to the people no longer through cold announcements, but through real and touching stories.

To shape the loyal Guan Yu, to shape the wise Zhuge Liang, and to awaken the people's yearning for the powerful man in the past.

Layer by layer, Liu Tai didn't know what role the military system he had built in this way could play.

But at least it started to become clear to me how to arrange them myself.

After completing this reorganization, Liu Tai immediately issued an order to make Wang Sang the commander-in-chief, and Xu Miao Gaoliang to assist him.

Leading [-] soldiers to cross the Yellow River, he attacked the plains, Leling and the three counties of Jizhou in the Bohai Kingdom, ending at Nanpi City, the governor of Bohai County. He gathered the people, strengthened the city defenses, and established a bridgehead to seize Jizhou.

The three of them quickly agreed to Liu Tai's order, and the army set off to attack the three cities in Jizhou almost immediately after the order was given.

After all, Wang Sang is considered his in-law, and with his original qualifications, he is superior to Xu Miao Gaoliang. With Wang Sang as the general, he can suppress Xu Miao Gaoliang and the other two.

Let them cast stones to ask for directions. At least before you fully capture Jizhou, you must seize at least one place as a bridgehead for your attack on Jizhou.

Because of last year's locust plague and the beggar army brought out by Tian Zhen, not to mention these three counties, in fact the entire Jizhou was greatly affected, and the defense force was severely weakened. Therefore, it was necessary to seize these three places and Not difficult.

What is really difficult is how Wang Jun, who is in Youzhou and eyeing Jizhou, will respond after taking these three places.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as asking these three people to ask for directions.

Even though Wang Jun ended up as a clown among the heroes in the late Jin Dynasty in history, before he was killed by Shi Leyin, the vast majority of Han people in the north still regarded him as the savior of the Jin Dynasty.

There is no way, Xianbei on the left, Qi Hong on the right, even though he is older, he is still quite ruthless in fighting wars.

This made Wang Jun look quite terrifying.

Although Liu Tai had made a basic plan to ambush Youzhou from the sea, he needed to attract all Wang Jun's attention on land.

Only in this way can there be an emptiness behind him. Otherwise, Tian Tian would risk his life and rush over, but the opponent would be waiting for him. Wouldn't he go there to send him off?

During this process, Su Jun repeatedly asked Liu Tai for troops, but Liu Tai finally selected these three people as generals, which made Su Jun quite frustrated.

But Liu Tai smiled, and after the military meeting ended, he called Su Jun by name and said, "Zigao, please stay here for a while. There is something I want to ask you about."

"Oh?" Su Jun looked at everyone and looked at Liu Tai with a bit of anxiety and curiosity.

"Do you want to be the winner of Youzhou?" Liu Tai looked at Su Jun and said straight to the point.
