Chapter 10 It worked back then, and it works this time too
Jiang Hua wore armor and knelt on the chariot. The railings around him were filled with soldiers. County Wei Yan personally drove the car to the military camp in the north of the city under the attention of everyone.
"It seems like, I remember thirty years ago, when the old monarch passed away and the first doctor succeeded to the throne, this was the scene!"
"Yes, at that time, the old monarch and the big monster that suddenly came out died together. The previous monarch returned from overseas in a hurry. At that time, the previous monarch was wearing this suit of armor and walked around the city three times. It was so similar!
"
"It was possible back then, and it will certainly be possible this time!"
"Yes, it will definitely work this time!"
Amid everyone's discussion, Jiang Hua came to the camp outside the city. At a glance, soldiers wearing armors entered the camp one after another. These soldiers came one after another, and some of the teams were longer, as many as two or three.
There are hundreds of people, and some teams are shorter, only thirty or fifty people.
Seeing Jiang Hua, everyone clasped their fists and saluted: "Greetings, Young Master!"
In this era, the relationship between monarchs and ministers is more like partners. Everyone gets along when they get along, and when they don't get along, they leave. Most people speak relatively freely, and the etiquette is also very simple.
Kneeling down on one knee to salute is very rare. It is only performed when worshiping heaven, ancestors and when the Emperor of Zhou succeeds to the throne. At other times, kneeling down on one knee is already a great gift. Usually it is given by the monarch.
In vassal territory, vassals kneel on one knee to show loyalty.
As for the soldiers in front of them, they just get paid as soldiers and clasp their fists to salute. However, in this era, there are not many places that are willing to pay soldiers. Therefore, the soldiers still cherish this job very much.
"These soldiers are all county soldiers. The soldiers in Yancheng are generally divided into three categories. The first category is the rural soldiers in the township. They are mainly responsible for maintaining order and regularly exterminating wild beasts nearby. Sometimes, a monster may suddenly appear somewhere.
There was a tide of spiritual energy, and after one night, there were many huge beasts there."
In Yancheng's Thirty-sixth Township, there were as few as 300 township soldiers and as many as 600 township soldiers, adding up to more than 10,000 soldiers. Looking at the roster in front of him silently, Jiang Hua continued to listen to the introduction by County Wei Yan.
"The second category is the county soldiers. Elite soldiers are drawn from the rural soldiers and recruited from the county. The county soldiers wear heavy armor and are smaller in number, but relatively elite. The county soldiers are mainly responsible for protecting important places such as the county, Dashi Pass, and ports.
land."
The county soldiers are very good at fighting, but they are very expensive. Yancheng usually only maintains 5,000 soldiers. However, the county soldiers can serve for up to ten years, so in an emergency, it is no problem to recruit veterans and collect 10,000 soldiers and horses.
"The third category is the Personal Guard, which is under the personal control of the first doctor. The Personal Guard is its own entity, and the Young Master should know it better than I do."
Yancheng invests a lot of money into the guards every year, so in the eyes of outsiders, the guards are undoubtedly very powerful. But Jiang Hua knows that about half of the resources in the guards are invested in Dongning Island overseas. In addition,
A considerable number of the personal guards died in the capital together with the former doctor Yan, and today's personal guards are not much better than empty frames.
"In addition, there is a Taoist palace in Yancheng. Many Taoists have their names in the Taoist temple. When they encounter monsters, they will take the initiative to slay them. This is the responsibility of Taoist Changkong, and I don't know much about it."
On weekdays, County Weiyan, County Chengyu and Taoist leader Changkong are the three most powerful people in Yancheng.
But at this moment, it has been more than half a day since the death of Xian Dafuyan, and Taoist Changkong is still missing. Many people have thoughts about this.
Some people think that Taoist Changkong may have run away because he thought the king was powerful. From this, they concluded that Taoist Taoist cannot be trusted.
Considering this situation, Jiang Hua took the initiative to explain: "Uncle Master is inviting friends. At this critical moment, every friend and every strength is important."
After a while, the chariot arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
"Chen County Wei Yan..."
"The Lord of the Army..."
"My army Sima..."
A long time ago, the military system in the world was the Zhou system, which focused on five men, five corps was two, four taels were pawns, five pawns were brigades, five brigades were divisions, five divisions were armies, and one army had ten thousand taels.
There are 1,500 people, and the emperor controls six armies, totaling 75,000 people.
But soon the princes discovered that this military system was not suitable for everyone. Those who were very stubborn and determined not to change the system suffered great losses, and some even had their country destroyed by the big monster.
In the end, the princes changed the military system one after another to suit themselves. Chao Kingdom was no exception. It was this flexible bottom line that made the princes stronger and stronger.
Therefore, the Jiang family's bottom line in Yancheng is also very flexible. Today's military system in Yancheng is based on multiples of two and five.
There is a team leader for five people, and a chief for ten people.
There is a team leader of fifty people, and a camp leader of one hundred people.
There is an army of 500 people and a marshal of 1,000 people.
Above the army commander is the school captain, but the school captain is the position held by Yancheng officials in the past dynasties. Even the county captain Yan is just a military commander. However, as a military commander, he supervises the entire army.
"The alchemist..."
"The Warlock..."
In addition to the officers, Jiang Hua also saw the Taoist group unique to Yancheng. To this day, the Taoist people have long been deeply integrated with Yancheng. They are indistinguishable from each other. Even the core army has Taoist figures.
The main function of these Taoists is to hold the long-refined standard magic weapons and act as eyes and ears. During the war, they can use the treasures in time, receive military orders from their superiors, and cast spells when necessary.
Investigation.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Everyone knelt down on one knee, and some even clasped their foreheads directly on the ground. Jiang Hua sat on the main seat of the camp and directly accepted this ceremony, which was regarded as a confirmation of his status as king and minister.
"Gentlemen, please rise."
As the first order given by Jiang Hua, everyone obeyed. No matter how hard they stabbed their heads, no one showed it at this time.
"Today, Shaojun is here to observe Sun Tian's subsequent raid on Dashiguan." County Wei Yan introduced.
"I'm just here to observe. If you have any ideas, feel free to implement them. Everyone can speak freely. I will not be guilty of speech this time." Jiang Hua said directly.
County Lieutenant Yan bowed his hands towards Jiang Hua and looked at everyone: "Go to the sand table!"
A warlock came out, held a crystal and began to cast a spell. After a few breaths, the colorless and transparent crystal automatically floated in the air, and the terrain near Dashiguan began to appear inside.
At first, there was only Dashiguan itself. After a few breaths, the entire camp was filled with the terrain near Dashiguan, and the officers who had been prepared began to look for key points in the dynamic projection in front of them.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Hua couldn't help but nodded. The military construction in Yancheng was indeed unexpected. Although there were many shortcomings, there were also many bright spots.
