Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4186: Let's cherish each other

Liu Yu shook his head: "The defenders of Jiankang City don't necessarily need elite fighters, they just need to have the strength to help defend the city. Fighting requires not only warriors who can charge forward, but also warriors who can serve as soldiers. To provide logistics support personnel, people are needed to build fortifications, carry defensive materials, organize and repair offensive and defensive equipment, make bows and arrows, treat wounded and sick soldiers, and provide army rations and bedding. People who do these chores do not necessarily need to be very good. combat skills, but also essential."

Wang Zhen'e let out a long sigh of relief: "Understood, brother Jinu, what you mean is that we need to recruit auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands in Jiankang City, right?"

Liu Yu said sternly: "It would be best if we can recruit warriors who are capable of fighting and daring to fight, but what you just said is right. Those who are powerful and have combat experience are often from aristocratic families and dignitaries. Housekeepers, or the guards of the merchant groups in Jiankang City, will not easily join the army. To let them come out to serve as soldiers, unless the nobles of the aristocratic families can let them go, I will talk to the heads of these aristocratic families when I return to the city. Negotiate, persuade them to put the national crisis at the head of the overall situation, and try to release the brave men in the city to join the army and serve the country.”

"But you can find a way to recruit young men from the common people to guard the city. If the demons do not attack Jiankang, you can recruit fewer people to serve as guards for some non-important yamen and warehouses. to replace the regular sergeants, which would free up regular troops to fight on the front lines.”

"One of the advantages of recruiting locals is that their families are in the city, and they know their personal and family situations thoroughly. As long as they are not women criminals or fugitives who hide their names, they can be included in the city defense team in case of emergency. Of course, important places such as the palace city, arsenal, grain depot, etc. must be guarded by the guards or the guards of the capital. Those newly recruited troops can go to the outer city wall or Jinu hall. Outer fortress guards like Stone City.”

Xu Chi nodded: "Understood, the main people are the common people, and the young and strong are recruited from them to expand the number of people. They are temporarily used as the main force of the field charge, but as an auxiliary. How about the conditions for recruitment and the distribution of military salaries? ?”

Jiankang frowned lightly, and said: "First recruit with twice the salary of Sergeant Aijian, and tell us that he is only temporarily on duty for non-essential warehouses, and does not have to undertake combat tasks. In addition to taking care of their own meals, they also prepare the same amount of rice grains and vegetables, which can be collected by their families on a monthly basis.”

Xu Chite laughed: "Is there such a good thing? If one person joins the army, the whole family will have double share of military pay and double share of military rations. This will attract many people."

Jiankang nodded: "No matter what, let someone come first, and this time one person is in the army. We have been in Xile for eight years as a tax collector. We must publicize that condition."

Xu Chite's face changed: "No tax for eight years? My God, is that okay? This is in Xile, under the feet of the emperor, the capital's tax revenue is directly related to the salaries of the officials and the royal family's expenses. , it’s no better than the countryside in other states and counties, I’m afraid the imperial court won’t accept it.”

At the end of Jiankang's speech, his eyes sparkled, and his expression became normal and serious. Everyone knew that this time Jiankang was really serious and gave the order to die, and there was no room for maneuver. , everyone bowed to each other, respected each other, and then, followed by their own soldiers and guards, they jumped on horses and whipped, and galloped away in different directions. In less than half a moment, they left one by one. .

Shi Shao gritted his teeth: "So, now we have to race against time. No matter what the battle situation here at Liu Yu is, we must return to Xile as quickly as possible. Everyone has assigned tasks just now, so there is no need to delay. People quickly returned to the place where they recruited soldiers, and were ready to go. At noon seventy days later, you must gather all kinds of people at Zhuquehang in the south of Xile City. At that time, you can recruit as many people as you can, without delay. Those who don’t, the military law will do it!”

Xu Chite nodded thoughtfully and said: "Brother Jinu is right. We just wiped out Nanyan, and Brother Daogui won a big victory in Jiangling. In this case, Brother Liu Yu may be eager to make contributions, or Seeing the demon thief showing signs of fleeing, he hurriedly chased after him, just like Liu Laozhi was in Qiqiaoze and Xie Yan was in Kuaiji, he would be ambushed by the enemy.

We will not be able to enter the army safely, we must make that kind of preparation. "

Shi Shao glanced at the people around him, Xu Chite, Zhu Lingshi, Liu Zhong and other eight people were still following him, while Sun Chu, Yu Qiujin and others were also busy setting up the camp at the far-in military camp, he turned to After leaving the rear, Wang Zhen'e held a big bow and followed him about seven steps without leaving his feet. His long hair was soaring to the sky, standing on his head, like a high ponytail, which was extraordinarily eye-catching.

Wang Zhenye grinned: "Brother Jinu, I heard that Brother Pingzi was always dressed like this, the most stylish, the most handsome, and also at the front. I want to be like her and always be the most dazzling on the battlefield." One of them!" Liu Zhong gasped: "Is it really that serious? Is it really possible for the demon to break through Brother Shi Shao's line of defense and go straight to Xile? I don't believe that will happen. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Everyone also shook their heads and said: "We don't believe it either. Brother Liu Yu has experienced hundreds of battles and is a famous general in the world. Even if he is unfavorable in the battle for a while, the big deal is to enter and defend Liyang to reorganize the defense line. How could he be completely defeated and open the door? Brother Jinu , are you a little too pessimistic?"

Jiankang said in a deep voice: "In the face of a national crisis, if you want people to contribute to the country, how can you care about that? I didn't ask the aristocratic families and nobles in the city to donate their family property to raise troops to serve the country. I will personally return to Beijing to issue an order Handle it, you can execute it when the time comes to suppress the evil. When necessary, all servants and guard killers of the aristocratic families in Beijing will also be incorporated into the city defense force, and it’s not just ordinary people?”

Jiankang sighed: "As a coach, I don't think about winning, I have to think about losing first. I have to plan for the most difficult situation. Wuji is also a generation of famous players, but the more he pursues success, the more likely he will take aggressive measures. The way of fighting, the demon is cunning and good at using all kinds of tricks, if it wasn't for the Dao Gui's big victory, I wouldn't be so worried about Shi Shao."

Jiankang shook his head, and patted Shi Shaoning on the shoulder: "Chite, as a sharp archer, you can't draw too much attention like this. It's better to keep a low profile, and I'm not a general. The kind that is at the top level, protecting yourself is the first priority.”
