Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Tan Shao said so much in one breath, still eloquent, and continued: "Brother Ji Nu, you called to develop the six counties in Jiangbei, these old brothers also left the cottage in Huaibei again, and followed Brother A Shou to go south. Settled down near Guangling."

"Many of their nephews have combat experience or have undergone military training since they were young. They are capable soldiers. However, in the past few years, most of the males have followed Brother A Shou or Brother Xi Le, and more than a thousand households have also moved. They went to Yuzhou and the farthest to Qingzhou to settle down, and there are about 5,000 households left.”

"If I go to urgently mobilize now and give a high enough reward, there should be 5,000 to 7,000 people who will come to apply. It's just that these people are not the same as your army building model, Brother Jinu. They are used to looting after the war. , rewards, it is difficult to attract them with promotions and titles in the normal army.”

Liu Yu nodded: "I understand, after all, it is the army brought out by the prison commander, and it is more like a group of mercenaries in essence. How about this, this army, now that A Shou and Tieniu are not here, it's up to you Come and recruit these people to form an army alone, and the establishment is not within the regular sequence of the Jin Dynasty."

"This army is recruited with five times the military salary of ordinary troops, and the whole family is tax-free for three years. Only a little bit is in the territory of Jin Dynasty. People are not allowed to plunder. Anyone who violates it will be killed! After the victory, I will give them more rewards , you can prosper without looting!"

Tan Shao laughed: "This method is good. It's just that if you don't give the staff, you don't count as soldiers of the court. What about the military supplies? If plunder is allowed, there will be another repatriation fee, which is also a big expense. Even if I want to recruit 7,000 troops, calculated in one year, the expenditure we will need is probably ten times that of the same number of regular soldiers Woolen cloth."

Liu Yu said fiercely: "Let everyone go back to each place and recruit troops. Everyone should understand why."

Everyone put away their smiles, we saw the seriousness and earnestness from Liu Yu's face, obviously, this time is definitely not a joke, Tan Shao said in a deep voice: "It is to prepare for the war with the demons and thieves, and at the same time to deter the Hou Qin Hulu, let him not dare to act recklessly."

Hong Li nodded: "Yes, two evil wolves have come to the door one after another. We must deal with them with force. The country has just experienced the war of destroying Yan, and the evil thieves have smashed the whole west. It will take a few years. To restore vitality, therefore, our top priority is to deter Hou Qin, and at the same time ensure that the demons and thieves are wiped out once and for all, Xi Le's soldiers and horses alone are not enough."

"To do that, we need at least another 100,000 soldiers to make them dare not act rashly. Now that more than 70,000 soldiers are far away in Qingzhou, we can only find a way to pull up an army. , if our troops are insufficient, the Qin army may take the initiative to attack us, and then not only the west, but also Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and even the land of Qingzhou that has just been conquered will have to suffer from the flames of war, and their lives will be ruined."

Tan Shao laughed: "Understood, let's do it like this, Brother Jinu, I guarantee that within half a month, we can pull out 7,000 people. If you are willing to add money, there should be more."

Liu Yu said fiercely: "Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. If the Qin army retreats at that time, let this army go to attack Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi who are entrenched in the Changshe area, and eradicate those rebels. When the time comes The gains and captives obtained can be distributed to them. These are not the people of the Jin Dynasty, but the bandits, so there is no need to be polite to them. In fact, if they are in the ranks of the Jin army, they don’t need to think about giving titles and promotions after the war. For the matter, what the court really needs to invest in may not be as good as the troops.”

Wang Zhen'e showed a look of embarrassment: "Well, that's probably a big hand. I have never held any administrative position in Jiankang City, nor have I served as an officer in the Suwei Army. Most of the people in Jiankang City are High-ranking officials, or merchants with some savings, these people do not need to join the army, even if they are attracted by paying money, like the one that doubles the military salary, I am afraid that there are not many applicants. In addition, the people in the city are especially like Farmers in the villages are like Kong Wuyou, even if they are recruited, it is difficult to use them on the battlefield." Hong Li shook his head: "That's not true. When our Beifu Army established its army, it was also paid eight times as much as the army. , but in exchange for each battle we have to use sharp knives to fight ahead, and at that time our military pay was not paid to the sergeants, but directly paid by the Xie family through the government

Where everyone's household registration is located, if they have a family and a house, the Xie family will take care of that part of the military salary, which will be distributed to the staff after the war. "

Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at Tan Shao: "Although the part of the people I recruited cost a lot, but no matter how high it is, can it be higher than the loss of the land, the people were killed, and the warehouses were plundered? I would rather These 7,000 soldiers are ready to support them with the standard of 70,000 soldiers and horses, and I don't want the Qin army to take advantage of the lack of this army and lose the land of Yuzhou and Yanzhou!"

Tan Shao saluted solemnly, took the order from Hong Li, and retreated into the ranks, Liu Yu turned to look at Hong Lipeng: "Suppressing evil, can you do anything? In Jiankang City, UU reading a book Can www.uukanshu.com pull out a team?"

Wang Zhen'e suddenly said: "But we are paid eight times the military salary after all. If other troops know this treatment, will they feel dissatisfied and affect their morale?"

Tan Shao let out a long sigh of relief: "Understood, I will go to prepare now. If all goes well, Brother Xi Le will win a big victory ahead, then the Qin army will naturally retreat in spite of difficulties. At that time, we will not have to maintain such an army size. Sent them home, but the severance fee is not so easy to pay."

"So such a higher salary than other troops will not cause too much jealousy and dissatisfaction. After all, they did not have the benefits of promotion and land distribution after the war. Liu Laozhi and Xi Le have relied on this mercenary model many times to recruit A large number of elite soldiers will work for it, and even Xi Le's current subordinates have quite a few out-of-establishment troops."

Liu Yu waved his hand: "For an army like his, one soldier can cover the consumption of ten normal conscripts, so let's start with seven thousand, and let Hezhi go back with you and stay in Guangling. If there is an emergency and you need manpower, then Continue to recruit, if you need to pay a deposit first, you can't use the inventory in the Guangling treasury, and then let Nanxu Governor Shi Zhao Lunzhi cooperate with you to handle this matter." He said while sitting in his arms. A token was handed over to Tan Shao.
