Chapter 3237 Recruitment Plan
In this way, they talked about returning to the fortress.
A meeting began the next day to discuss land acquisition.
"The recruitment plan is too unrealistic." Pollard said immediately as Xiaozhi finished talking about the agreement reached with the Imperial Capital.
“In recent years, the empire itself has been recruiting troops for successive campaigns, and there has been a shortage of young and middle-aged men everywhere.
If the army is being recruited, a large number of fields will be idle, and then the army will be recruited.
I can't keep up with my food supplies, not to mention the first of these three counties to ignore me. "
“So there needs to be regulation.
And don’t forget, if it weren’t for this agreement, Lewand wouldn’t be able to come back. "
Xiaozhi said: ":
"Then the nature of the arms will also need to change. From now on, the soldiers of the Southern Army will not only be responsible for fighting.
After all, military control was already in place, and those three counties had spent a lot of money on framing Lewan.
Is it true that retribution comes quickly? "
Xiaozhi said with a kind smile,
“The movement requires quick troops to be divided into three groups.
Sayu and I worked together to identify Makan County, which is the most powerful. Pollard and Lewan each took control of one county and implemented military control.
All those who dare to come forward will be chopped off, but there may be some who have something to do with Ernesto, so drive them out. "
"Now is not the time to fall out with Ornestes. After the administration, a temporary recruitment office will be established directly in the city.
New recruits are trained directly in the city. Except for Machi County, the other two counties are very close to the southern fortress.
The new recruits can be brought directly to the south, and it is also beneficial to train the regimental army in the blind resistance line. "
"We can deal with the alarm development of the revolutionary army, but they have not yet become established, so they can only use Kakaka Lake as a temporary station.
But don't worry about them, but it's still a good excuse to delay. "
"Delaying for time?"
Lewan was a little confused so he didn't ask.
"Of course, I asked you to be a warlord, but you didn't do it right. Then I will be the one."
Hearing these Teigu words.
Lewan stood up immediately and looked at Xiaozhi with sharp eyes: "What did you say?"
"I said I want to be a great warlord."
"Are you crazy? Or have you also been corrupted by power?"
Lewan stood up and said, turning to look at Pollard.
Pollard was uncharacteristically not too intense.
Instead, he sat there steadily.
Seeing this scene, Lewan's heart suddenly sank: "Pollard, what do you mean? Do you want to rebel?"
"This is not rebellion, this is self-protection."
Xiaozhi said: "Do you still want to go to jail again? Think about it, we can punish him for everything that happens to our partners during the supervision period."
"Even if we can't execute them directly, we can still give them the punishment they deserve."
Lewan fell into silence.
The biggest blow to him during this year in prison was not physical, but mental.
His lofty military ideology began to have some cracks. He was forced to stand out in such a central position but did not receive the glory he deserved.
Instead, he was framed by the stubborn class. His pride, his principles and everything were of no use in the face of real rights.
Perhaps somewhere in his heart he longed to bring these powerful people to justice and overthrow them all.
"The people you care about most will be squeezed out of the money corrupted by the corrupt elites under military management.
circulate in the market. And our laws will restrict corrupt behavior, and I think people will get a better life in this way. "
Compared with the emotional Lewan, Xiaozhi spoke calmly and slowly.
But there was a temptation in these calm words that he could not refuse.
"The only thing you are sorry for is the emperor who has abandoned you long ago, and the most important thing is that you must not have betrayed the empire."
"We don't want independence, we just want to protect ourselves. When society is stable and people's livelihood is harmonious, it doesn't matter if we take away military power."
There was another long silence, and the other two nodded while making this decision.
He sighed deeply again. It turned out that he had just broken out of prison and had spent a few days recuperating.
His face, which seemed to have some energy, became depressed again, and he suddenly looked much older.
"I will see everything you do next."
Lewan said in a deep voice: "I will object even if it deviates a little from the planned track."
"Okay, then I believe that won't happen."
…
Just as Xiaozhi arranged, this operation went very smoothly.
The next day, the operation was launched, leaving the county governments that had received the news of Lewan's return and had made preparations completely unable to respond in time.
They did not expect that the Southern Army would move so fast, before they could react.
They had been handcuffed and shackled and thrown into the prison.
At this point, three counties were officially placed under the control of the Southern Legion and implemented military control.
The conscription in the three counties is in full swing, and it is envisaged that the conscription will follow. Reorganize the Legion.
In addition to training, a small amount of time is also required for cultural studies, and soldiers are regularly organized to cultivate the land of the conscripted families.
40% of the grain will be purchased by farmers and 60% will be purchased by farmers. At the same time, the price of grain on the market will be unified.
It is strictly prohibited to buy at a price lower than the market price, and everyone who buys and sells grain needs to buy grain.
Can only be purchased from stores operated by the Southern Legion.
It is said to be slightly lower than the market price, but in fact for farmers in surrounding villages.
It is also higher than the previous price from the grain merchant. What grain merchants are best at is buying more than buying high and selling high.
The appearance of Xiaozhi completely cut off their financial resources, but as their protective umbrella, the corrupt nobles have been suppressed to the point where they can't even speak out.
While training new recruits, Xiaozhi was also paying close attention to the situation on the Western battlefield and discovered that on the Western battlefield.
A young officer named Jasita showed his prominence.
Using various towns and villages as a basis to fight guerrilla wars with Western nations.
Destroying their food supplies effectively delayed the advance of the Western aliens, and established temporary garrison in the central part of the west to confront the Western aliens.
At this time, Xiaozhi's concept of military control in the three southern counties has been basically completed, and the number of conscripts has reached the required number.
In the middle of training, Xiaozhi felt that the time was almost right and decided to set off immediately.
This time I went to the Western battlefield.
He only planned to bring 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Lewan, Pollard and Sayou each control a county.
Although Sayu had doubts about staying behind, he still kept the overall situation in mind.
The next day, Xiaozhi led 30,000 soldiers and horses to march towards the western battlefield.
On the city wall, Sayu stood there quietly, watching Xiaozhi gradually go away. *
