Taishan County. Laiwu County.

Tao Ying, who was thinking about his beautiful horse archers, had to return to reality.

"Oh, my idea is very beautiful, but the reality is a bit skinny!"

Training archers requires people, making bows and arrows requires people, and even leading cavalry in battle requires people. Unfortunately, Tao Ying does not have these right now.

Yan Liang and Ji Ling are good at charging and fighting, but they are amateurs at training.

Brothers Sun Guan, Yin Li, and Wu Dun are capable of leading troops and managing local areas, but they can only barely train troops for emergencies.

"Mi Fang, maybe we can suppress the bandits and do some logistics. Let's just train troops."

Tao Ying took stock in his mind and found that none of his team members were capable of military training; let alone military training wizards like Sun Wu, Qi Jiguang, and Zeng Guofan.

Even Xu Sheng is still too young now, and he is still exploring himself during military training.

"It seems that the "Recruitment Order" for the entire Han Dynasty must be implemented more quickly. By April of next year, there will be no more good opportunities!"

Recruiting and dividing up the talents who will fight for the hegemony of the Three Kingdoms in the future is just a gap period. No matter how late it is, each of them will have their own talent.

As for whether the "Recruitment Order" would arouse the nerves of "careful people", Tao Ying did not care about it in order to survive.

"Also, the Taishan Military Academy must step up its establishment and increase the training of middle and lower-level officers. Otherwise, the soldiers I spent money to raise will become the private soldiers of my generals!"

The warlords during the Republic of China were raised in this way, and this is what Tao Ying is most worried about right now.

“Brother, I don’t want to be a good person and become a victim in the eyes of others!”

Tao Ying wanted to divide the world, not make wedding clothes for others.

It's not that Tao Ying is not confident enough, but that in this selfish era of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, everyone adheres to the creed of "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven will destroy you", and there are only a few people who are truly loyal.

"Haha, Mi Fang can stab her brother-in-law Liu Bei in the back, the Sun clan can betray Sun Quan and Chen Gong, and Yu Jin can betray Cao Cao. I'm no better than Liu, Sun, and Cao Cao!"

Especially Yuan Shao, the betrayal of his subordinates directly sent Yuan Shao to the Western Paradise. Tao Ying shuddered just thinking about it.

"Lord, the soldiers train very hard!"

Looking at the Xuanjia Army training in full swing, Yan Liang was secretly gearing up, and his blood was already boiling.

If Tao Ying hadn't been by his side, Yan Liang would have been cautious, otherwise he would have ended long ago.

"Of course, because they are a unique Black Armor Army!"

Tao Ying actually wanted to say to Yan Liang: "They are working hard for military pay and welfare."

But saying that would make Tao Ying appear to have no emotional intelligence.

People with insufficient emotional intelligence will not only make people feel mean and philistine, but they will also be unable to make true friends. Tao Ying will naturally not do it.

The military pay system of the Xuanjia Army was promulgated by Tao Ying as early as Nancheng County.

Each Xuanjia soldier receives three hundred yuan as monthly military pay, which is equivalent to three shi of food. In addition, half a shi of food is paid in advance at the beginning of each month.

Anyone who dies in battle will be given a one-time pension of 50 guan to his family, and an additional ten acres of tax-free fertile land. If he has children, he will also be given 10 guan every month until they reach adulthood; those who have achieved academic success will be given priority in hiring and promotion.

Anyone who becomes disabled due to injury will be given a one-time pension of 30 guan, an additional five acres of tax-free farmland, and another 100 guan of money and food will be distributed every month.

Moreover, under Tao Ying's rule, disabled soldiers can serve as village chiefs, militia captains, etc., or work in factories, depending on the situation.

……

This is the first time this has happened, and there is no precedent.

When Tao Ying issued this military order, Sun Guan and other generals also advised Tao Ying to think twice.

"Lord, our Taishan County currently has no tax revenue. Even if there is one in the future, it won't be much. Doing this will not be enough to support an army of 50,000, not to mention that there are still many areas where money and food are needed!"

Tao Ying looked solemn at that time and insisted on his opinion.

"Zhongtai, I understand your worries. But these are troubled times. If we want the soldiers to follow us willingly, fight to the death for us without any worries, and encounter difficulties and obstacles without fear or retreat, we must

Show sincerity."

"Next we will vigorously develop Qingzhou, and there will never be a situation where we cannot support an army of 100,000."

"What's more, the money and food we confiscated from the powerful Bian County of Lu State this time is enough to support an army of 50,000 for a year."

Facing Sun Guan and other generals who lacked confidence and looked hesitant, Tao Ying encouraged them with confidence.

"After a few years of good development, we will be able to support an army of 200,000!"

……

It is conceivable that when Tao Ying's military order was issued, the soldiers exploded instantly, kneeling down and howling, shouting "Long live Tao Ying", which almost scared Tao Ying to death.

"Don't harm brother, the big man is not dead yet!"

Tao Ying understood the soldiers' reaction and was also very sad.

Look at the Book of Songs, look at the pre-Qin classics, and see how miserable military service is.

Not only is it miserable to be a soldier, but it is even more miserable to have relatives leaning against each other’s door.

Who can imagine that you only have to serve in the military for one day, but you have to walk on the road for a month.

Military pay? Nothing.

Not to mention bringing your own travel expenses, if the road is not smooth or you have a headache, you will basically either not be able to reach Dian Mao, or you will not be able to get home, and you will die in a foreign country, and neither of you will know.

Now that we have Tao Ying's new policy, how can the soldiers not be happy and grateful?

Of course, if there is a reward, there will be a punishment. This is an eternal truth.

There is a clause in Tao Ying's military orders: if he disobeys orders, escapes from battle, and be executed on the spot, his family will no longer enjoy all the benefits under the rule, and his children will be deprived of their right to free education.

But for the new Xuanjia Army, this worry is almost unnecessary.

To die in battle or to be executed is to die. Only a fool would try to get lucky, which would harm his family and bring shame to them.

Moreover, for the current big man, a living ordinary person would probably not be able to earn as much benefit as Tao Ying's death pension in his lifetime.

Therefore, today's Xuanjia Army, in addition to being a little inferior in armor, has excellent weapons, strong momentum, and is also trained very hard.

"Training is impossible without slogans!"

Tao Ying had participated in military training, so he naturally copied the existing experience of later generations.

"Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime!"

"People practice in hardship, and the knife is sharpened on the stone!"

"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"

……

Tao Ying's morale-boosting vernacular was used as a motto by the soldiers, who held their breath during training just to strive for the top.

If not for the lack of time, Tao Ying would have wanted to copy some military songs from later generations.

"Click tap tap..."

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. Tao Ying, who was observing the training, was shocked and turned around hurriedly.

"My Lord, he is a scout!"

Yan Liang, who has sharp eyes, could tell the identity of the person at a glance.

"Report..."

The scouts were still more than a mile away from Taoying and began to call loudly.

"My lord, the troops from the Yellow Turban Zhangrao tribe of Qi State have passed through Banyang County and are coming directly to Laiwu. There are more than 50,000 troops."

After hearing what the scouts reported, Tao Ying's eyes sharpened, he looked at Xu Sheng and then at Yan Liang.

"Send troops to Qingzhou immediately!"

Tao Ying made a prompt decision and began to issue orders to dispatch troops.

"Order, Xu Sheng, the captain of the rebel camp, is the commander-in-chief, and Yan Liang, the captain of the rebel camp, is the vanguard. Send troops to Qi State to fight Zhang Rao!"

"With six hundred miles of urgency, we ordered the county magistrate Ji Ling, the captain of Pinglu School, to lead 10,000 troops and send troops to Jinan to suppress the Yellow Turban Xu He tribe and implement temporary military control in Jinan!"

"Order, Liang Fu ordered Wu Dun to be promoted to captain of the prison camp, and immediately led five thousand troops to the north to garrison Linqu and defend the Yellow Turbans in Beihai!"

"Order, the Nancheng Order, to capture Captain Mi Fang, leave three thousand troops to garrison Nancheng, and lead the rest of the troops to immediately go north to garrison in Chi County!"
