Due to restrictions such as height, although there are many local heroes in Shang Yuan today, only about 500 people were able to enter the school field in the end.
However, this is just the beginning. Next, there will be basic physical fitness screenings such as weight-bearing and lifting. Those who can enter the school are all strong and strong countrymen. There are many people who have been engaged in physical labor for many years and their physical fitness has improved.
There is no obvious difference.
However, because the selection standards set by Li Tai were too high, more than a hundred people were screened out from various links one after another. In the end, only more than 300 people entered the military training stage.
"The selection of soldiers is so refined, which shows that Li Lang's troops are very brave. No wonder in Beizhou, only a few hundred people were able to guerrilla for thousands of miles, and no one could stop them!"
Seeing this, Director Yu Wen couldn't help but sigh.
This year, various provinces have recruited more township regiments, and the number of troops recruited is mixed. Although it seems that there are many people, the actual power has increased. Director Yu Wen felt that it was not optimistic when he discussed it with his uncle Yu Wentai.
However, through the atmosphere from last year to this year, the momentum for the strong men from various lands in Kansai to recruit the local hero tribe has been formed.
Looking at this momentum from a positive perspective, that is, the powerful countrymen are loyal and diligent in the king's affairs, and the people's support can be used, but it is not without negative effects.
Although the armed forces of the rural regiments have expanded, there are only a few units that can actually engage in front-line combat. Most of the troops are in disgrace and their military discipline is ruined.
As a result, the Bafu's cohesion was limited. On the contrary, the private affairs of powerful powerful people were further expanded, and local administrative problems were many. Even the household registration in various states was greatly affected, and farming and animal husbandry production shrank a lot.
Therefore, the uncle and nephew of the Yuwen family were also very troubled about how to develop armed armaments next.
Li Tai's approach of not coveting power but only recruiting elite soldiers made Director Yu Wen's eyes light up. This was not a very clever approach, but it just made people feel refreshed amid the indiscriminate expansion of Yi Shui.
"If you are an ordinary person who doesn't know how to fight, I will happily accept this compliment. But Zhang Wu Gong is skilled in military affairs and is admirable. I really dare not boast about the past."
After hearing this, Li Tai quickly said that to be honest, Director Yuwen's arrival really made him feel uncomfortable.
Although the Yuwen family is not considered the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty, they are still the actual bosses of the tyrants. It is really exciting to recruit their own private army in front of Director Yuwen.
Although the world is like this, those who are in power will always have the need and desire for centralization. Maybe if one of them is wrong, all kinds of mistakes can be found in his behavior.
"I don't think it's an absurd compliment. Anyone who knows how to fight must act according to his ability. Measure people, measure themselves, measure the country and measure the people. If there are no such considerations, even if the general is always victorious, he will only be brave and reckless.
Success is due to luck, destruction is due to luck, or you can rely on it to fight for a small distance, but you can't rely on it for big things."
Director Yu Wen said seriously again: "Since this year, the trend of laboring people and treating injuries has become increasingly fierce, but little success has been achieved. Previously, Li Lang, you sent people to rebel, and the Taiwan government's plan was pending, so the chaos has been calmed down. It can be said that it is
This is a model of military governance in recent years. Therefore, I highly recommend to Daxingtai that Li Lang can be awarded the title. Knowing that you are recruiting soldiers in the countryside to expand the army, I came to watch the battle. It turns out that the style is consistent with what happened before, which is gratifying!"
Hearing what Director Yu Wen said, Li Tai realized that he had to be appointed as the Grand Governor because of the strong support from the other party.
He didn't think that Director Yu Wen was deliberately trying to sell things by saying this, it must be true. Now that he said it, it was only because his own thoughts on running the army coincided with it, so he only felt it.
While standing up to thank Director Yuwen, Li Tai could not help but secretly compare Yuwen Hu with him.
There is not much age difference between the two brothers, but their personalities and views on human affairs are completely different.
Director Yu Wen is more mature and restrained. Although he was born as a general and stayed in the tyrant's palace, he is not a person who likes to make great achievements and express himself. Compared to Yu Wenhu, he is indeed more stable and thoughtful.
It is a pity that he died too early and did not have the opportunity to stand at the center of the historical stage. If he had taken over the situation when Yu Wentai passed away, there might have been fewer bloody and cruel tragedies involving roommates fighting each other.
However, the reason why Li Tai was in line with Director Yuwen's wishes was indeed a coincidence. Why didn't he want to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers with a wave of his hand? After all, there was no conflict with the number of elite soldiers, but the key was that he couldn't afford them.
Moreover, if too many soldiers are recruited, it will be troublesome just to argue with the states and counties about household registration. At least Director Yuwen made it clear that he does not want too many registered households to join the army.
The conversation between the two here came to an end, but another person stood up from the seat next to him and said with fists in his hands: "Li Lang's selection of soldiers is indeed very brave and brave, but after all, the number is small. I'm afraid it's not enough to disperse the bandits in the counties."
Rural bandits are a troublesome security risk. When Li Tai proposed to take over the matter, many county officials were happy to see it happen, but they also had some doubts in their hearts. The most important thing was whether Li Tai had any
Able to do it?
Although the main force of the Western Wei Dynasty was concentrated along the Yellow River for defense, Li Tai was not the only armed force in the states within the Pass.
Not to mention the many newly organized rural regiments in various states and counties, some military leaders who have withdrawn from the front line are also scattered in the inland states and counties to stay for food. If those bandits could really be wiped out easily, they would not still exist in the countryside now.
Constantly disturbing people.
Although Li Taixin reported victory by killing Hu in Beizhou and was rewarded, all he heard was false. Looking at his recruitment today, although the quality of the soldiers is impressive, the combat effectiveness of the newly formed army needs to be tested, and the number is too small. Even if everyone can
Even if one is as brave as ten, he still can't surround and suppress all the gangsters in the countryside!
If his troops are rashly introduced into the territory, even if they are killed or injured, if they cannot be completely surrounded and suppressed, it will only increase resentment and hatred.
Li Tai will not lead his troops to stay in their territory for a long time. Once the strong troops withdraw, the bandits will most likely come back to loot and retaliate, and the suffering may be even deeper.
When Li Tai heard this questioning, he motioned for the man to take a seat first. He glanced at Director Yuwen who was present, and decided to show off his strength again. After all, you can't hide anything, and an elite soldier must always look like an elite soldier.
We can't be so strict in recruiting soldiers, and end up with one person burning a fire stick.
So he ordered the armored horse weapons and staffs that he had received from Dugu Xin to be put on display. As soon as these horse soldiers appeared, there were exclamations one after another inside and outside the school grounds. Even Director Yu Wen couldn't help but lean forward.
After looking around for a while, he said with emotion: "Li Lang is really rich in savings! Only the brave countrymen who choose the best are worthy of using these horses and weapons!"
"I have been ordered to be loyal and diligent in my work. In this world where thieves are rampant, only by destroying the family and relieving the trouble can both the family and the country survive. The former taught me this, and I should follow this!
"
Li Taizheng said solemnly, no matter what others think, at least he and Duguxin's private exchanges are for the bright.
In fact, he also had too deep a concept of ancient unity and permanence of the system, and he could not completely look away from the matter of privately accumulating armored soldiers.
But the indigenous people like Yuwen Dao, who grew up in this kind of environment and grew up under the influence of their own eyes and ears, may not really have the concept of centralization and self-protection, at least not too strongly. After all, they have just eaten, and they cannot expect to have a meal.
Four dishes.
Seeing that Director Yu Wen had no intention of continuing to question him, he said to the county officials present: "Although our troops are not victorious, we have strong armor, sharp swords, long spears and powerful bows, and can guerrilla thousands of miles easily."
Nei! It is our duty to make our country peaceful and peaceful. We must eliminate all thieves and leave no future troubles. There will be no trace of thieves under the arrows in front of our horses."
As soon as he finished speaking, applause and cheers erupted from all the seats. Anyone can say wild words, but if you have enough strength to back it up, no matter how big your words are, they cannot be called crazy, because they are the truth in themselves.
While the crowd was still making rainbow farts, an envoy from Chengcheng Prefecture had already stood up, clasped his fists towards Li Tai and said: "When the envoy of the prefecture knew that we were going to defend Luoshuiqu, it just so happened that Duke Wu of Zhang was here today.
Xi, I humbly describe the plan of the prefect. I would like to use the coast of Shicheng County as the location for the city defense, and provide fifty hectares of public land to provide food and clothing for the soldiers defending the city!"
Li Tai was immediately happy when he heard this. These county officials really did not see the rabbit but did not let the eagle fly. As early as when he planned to set up defenses near Baishui, he sent envoys to negotiate with the two counties, hoping to select a suitable one.
The city was defended as a stronghold, and the local counties were responsible for part of the army's supply.
However, the answers given by these two county governments were all vague. They neither directly agreed nor explicitly refused. They only said that they would ask the Huazhou state government for instructions. Only with clear instructions from the state government would they be able to coordinate matters.
Before Li Tai had time to explain this situation to Director Yuwen, the envoy from Chengcheng County expressed his position first. It was simply that he discovered that Li Tai indeed had strong soldiers and horses, and his troops were streamlined. While he could obtain military support, he was not under heavy pressure to support him.
, then of course you have to take it from your own side.
The envoy from Baishui County also stood up and said: "Li Lang originally had property in Baishui, and the Dushui Administration Bureau also supervised the construction of canals and weirs in the territory. It should be known that the countryside is very popular, and all the people in the county and county are deeply interested in being able to pay homage to Baishui."
It's an honor to work together. Besides, this autumn's great parade will be held at Baishui. The camp personnel are all ready, and the county's military officers are at their disposal. It will not take long to build the city. I sincerely ask Zhang Wu Gong and Li Lang to make a careful decision!"
Seeing the envoys from the two counties scrambling to get Li Tai to set up troops in their territory, Director Yu Wen was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, he just waved his hands and said with a smile: "I am here just to watch. Li Lang is not in charge of the military affairs of the state."
It is up to the government to decide where to set up defenses. After negotiating with the counties and counties to decide the matter, they can then report it to the state government."
Hearing what Director Yu Wen said, Li Tai also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he directly made the decision on his behalf, Li Tai would have to give him face, but if it was not the best choice, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
As Yu Wentai's successor, Director Yu Wen is also quite capable of this and Xi Ni, and will not usurp Li Tai's right to speak. If Li Tai has no choice in this matter, then no matter where the defense is, subjective
