Chapter six hundred and ninety-ninth: first appearance
The selection process starts from two aspects. The first aspect is those who perform well in training.
Each day's training will be included in the final assessment results.
The ranking of each competition will be converted into corresponding points.
Finally, based on ranking, you will be qualified for promotion.
These competitions compete on personal qualities, martial arts, bows and arrows, formations, flag language and other aspects of knowledge.
Of course, this is just one aspect.
If an individual is brave, he can only be a corps commander or something.
If you want to continue to improve, you must also understand the art of war.
The counterpart to queue training is ideological and political training.
Li Min, who came from a later generation, deeply understood the importance of political, ideological and military education.
I want to continue to be promoted, I want to become a mid-level general, or even a senior general.
You must have extraordinary military capabilities.
At the same time, ideological awareness must also be strong.
These two aspects are complementary to each other and neither one can exist without the other.
This selection strategy made the 300,000 new troops cheer with excitement.
Originally, they came to sign up to join the army, half for revenge, and half for their families to live a better life.
In their hearts, they originally had no more extravagant desires.
But now, they suddenly discovered that they could actually think of more.
A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
These rising channels make all the new troops feel energetic.
They all want to get ahead so that their families can live a better life.
The training of the new army soon began.
Daily physical fitness and formation training allow these new troops to quickly integrate into the melting pot of the military camp.
They began to look like soldiers, and they gradually adapted to what obedience meant.
Through continuous ideological and political education, let them realize the importance of their existence.
What does it mean to protect one's family and country, what does it mean to not abandon or give up.
Ideological education is of course important.
But Li Min also deeply understood the truth that going too far is never enough.
For these indigenous people, they have just come over.
You can't expect them to have much sense of belonging to Huaxia City.
The sense of belonging must be gradually cultivated through the accumulation of time, through subtle influence, through their actual actions, and little by little influence.
Therefore, in the early stage of education, Li Min decided to only focus on protecting the family and the country. The key is to protect the family.
At the same time, we promote the concept of never abandoning or giving up.
As long as they recognize these two concepts, then the initial ideological and political education will be considered a success.
The physical fitness of these aborigines is quite good.
During training, everyone works hard because of the promotion mechanism.
This also allows the training to quickly see gratifying results.
After three months of training, these recruits have undergone radical changes.
They are growing rapidly, and they are beginning to have the flavor of soldiers.
At this time, the Family Alliance has also stopped attacking.
They are working hard to digest the territory they have acquired.
These territories are enough for them to digest for decades.
Once the digestion is completed, their strength will greatly increase.
At this time, they were not willing to provoke Huaxia City.
Because what they need most now is a lot of time.
However, this is just their own idea.
As the lord of Huaxia City, how could Li Min give them this time?
…
Next, Li Min gathered an army and personally led it, preparing to unify the entire Golden State.
Li Min has been preparing for this day for several years.
Three hundred thousand new troops, 50,000 of which were assigned to the navy.
Of the remaining 250,000 new troops, Li Min left 200,000 behind.
This time, Li Min planned to bring only 50,000 new troops and 40,000 Yizhou troops.
Li Min left the remaining 10,000 Yizhou troops for defense.
All of these 210,000 troops stayed behind to protect the safety of Huaxia City.
Those new troops were holding back their energy during training.
They eagerly want to pick up swords and guns, go into battle to kill the enemy, and avenge their relatives.
But now, the city lord actually lets them stay behind and doesn't let them go into battle to kill the enemy.
This made these new troops very frustrated.
"Hey, Zhuzhu, can you hear that? The city lord asked us to stay behind and didn't let us go into battle to kill the enemy!"
"I heard that! Lord City Lord, how could this be possible?"
"I came to join the army just to fight the enemy and avenge my little sister!"
"That's right. I heard that if you go into battle to kill an enemy, you will be rewarded with a thousand yuan for each enemy you kill. If you kill more enemies, you will be eligible for promotion."
"If we are not allowed to go into battle and kill the enemy now, how can we accumulate military exploits? How can we get rewards?"
Huo, in fact, the reason why so many recruits were so depressed after hearing the news that they could not go into battle to kill the enemy.
Not being able to take revenge is certainly one aspect, but not being able to get rewards or accumulate military exploits is definitely one of the reasons that cannot be ignored.
"Why don't we go petition?"
"Yes, there's a war, why don't we let us go?"
"That's right, isn't this looking down on us?"
"Let's go and petition, let's all petition together!"
All of a sudden, many recruits were unhappy.
They all went to petition and strongly requested to join the war.
When Xue Rengui learned the news, he was really sad and happy.
The recruits are not afraid of fighting and actively ask to participate in the war. This is definitely a good thing.
But why Shu King Li Min only brought 50,000 new troops to the war? Xue Rengui knew the details.
The King of Shu naturally has his own plans!
Well, in fact, Li Min has long been renamed King of China, and some people also call him City Lord.
But Xue Rengui was already accustomed to calling him King of Shu. I'm afraid this problem won't change even if it takes a while.
Xue Rengui can naturally suppress this matter.
Having led troops for many years, it is impossible for him not to have such courage.
However, the morale of these recruits is good and beneficial.
Forcibly suppressing it is actually not the best choice.
Finally, Xue Rengui reported the matter to Li Min.
After Li Min learned about this incident, he was also very emotional.
The temperament of the aboriginal people here is indeed different from that of the people in other places.
Generally speaking, new recruits are afraid of fighting.
The new recruits here are eager to fight, which is indeed a good thing.
Of course, this also requires correct guidance.
Thinking of this, Li Min simply gathered 200,000 new recruits together and decided to hold a mobilization meeting for them.
Outside Huaxia City, 200,000 new soldiers gathered in the wilderness.
There are two hundred thousand people, and the darkness stretches for more than ten miles. It can really be said to be boundless.
Li Min placed the platform in the middle of the team.
With so many people, it is absolutely impossible for Li Min’s voice to reach everyone.
Therefore, the staff prepared a lot of speakers.
Each square formation of the New Army has about five thousand people.
A speaker will be placed around each square array.
This is to ensure that every word and word spoken by the Lord of the City can be heard clearly by all the soldiers.
Soon, Li Min arrived and walked onto the venue.
"Hello, all soldiers, I am your city lord, Li Min."
The city lord's first words made all the new soldiers feel very friendly.
They did not expect that the city lord, who was so powerful and powerful, would not show any dignity in front of them.
"I heard that many of you have petitioned to join the war."
When they heard the city lord say these words, all the new soldiers were filled with excitement.
The Lord of the City already knows about this matter, and their goal has been achieved.
But I don’t know how the city lord will handle this matter?
"I know that you have hatred hidden in your hearts and want to avenge bloodshed. You are soldiers, eager for military success and promotion, which are actually good things. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
"As for me, I am here today and want to share my thoughts with everyone."
"First of all, what I want to say is, what is the purpose of our sending troops? Is it to kill? Is it for wealth? Is it for territory?"
"No! The purpose of our war is to defend our country and for justice! We are fighting for justice!"
"And defending our family and country is our purpose! All of us have gone to battle to kill the enemy, so what will happen to our families? Who will protect them?"
"Furthermore, I also want to ensure the safety of all of you as much as possible."
"This time, why did I only select 50,000 new troops to go to war?"
"First, these 50,000 new troops can grow up quickly following the old troops."
"Secondly, it's because this time, we are just attacking the west."
"After the army returns, we will attack the south. At that time, another 50,000 new troops will be mobilized to accompany the army."
"In the future, there will be east and north sides. In other words, all new armies will have the opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy. So, you don't have to worry about not having any meritorious service or rewards."
"And finally, what I want to say is that we are the army. As soldiers, it is our bounden duty to obey orders!"
"On the battlefield, there are only wrong actions, not wrong orders!"
"Next time, I don't want to see that after the military order is issued, many people will come to petition. I hope this is the first and last time, and it won't be the same next time!"
"Of course, not all military orders are correct. If you feel that the military orders are indeed wrong, what should you do?"
"There are pickets in our army. The pickets not only check the appearance and discipline of the military, but also detect violations of law and discipline and chaos in military orders."
"If the military order is really wrong, you can go to the picket to report the situation. The picket will naturally give you an explanation."
"Finally, I hope you can remember one thing. You are all soldiers of the people. Remember not to bully the people or violate rules and disciplines. There are also many channels for promotion in the army. I hope you can fight bravely to fight the enemy, strive for the qualifications for promotion, and honor your ancestors!
"
After this meeting, these recruits felt reassured.
It turns out that all of them have the opportunity to go to the battlefield.
Moreover, through this meeting, they gained a deeper understanding of the military.
Next, Li Min led 90,000 troops and prepared to pacify the western part of the Golden State.
There are four directions: east, west, north and south, even because the Golden State is so huge.
Subdivision can be divided into southwest, northwest, southeast, northeast, etc., at least eight directions.
Why did Li Min choose the West?
The reason is naturally because they have a railway and a dock in the West.
Once they, Huaxia City, take action against the Aristocratic Family Alliance, then the entire Aristocratic Family Alliance will inevitably choose to destroy their train tracks.
Although there is now a new Silver Moon Wolf King, there are still 20,000 wild wolves guarding the train tracks.
But if the Family Alliance is determined to destroy the railway, these wolves alone cannot protect the railway track.
Therefore, it is very necessary to take down the west direction first.
But this time, Li Min can show off his minions and let those in the Family Alliance see what technology is.
What is a new weapon?
It turns out that Li Min came to Datang for more than twenty years.
After such a long time, haven’t you thought about making firearms?
That's because Li Min believes that if you want to conquer the world, you can't do it simply by possessing firearms.
Conquering the world immediately is actually not that difficult.
But in history, the famous Yuan Dynasty conquered a large empire across Asia, Africa and Europe, but in the end, how much territory did it actually control?
How long did the entire Yuan Dynasty last?
Force is indispensable, but it can never solve everything.
Therefore, Li Min has been planning for a long time.
Moreover, in the past, Li Min's layout, relying on the technologies he had used before, was enough to sweep away the enemies he faced.
There is no need to take out the firearm at all.
In fact, Li Min had been studying firearms secretly for a long time.
When they first arrived in Yizhou, they already had lathes.
With a lathe, gun chambers can be manufactured in batches.
As for other technologies, they are not a problem at all.
The most difficult part is probably the manufacture of gunpowder and bullets.
As for Li Min, he had a ready-made gunpowder formula.
Therefore, Li Min manufactured a rifle very early on.
And it is not the kind of flintlock gun that appeared in the original historical trajectory, which requires a match rope or bullets.
It is a truly primitive rifle that can be fired continuously with one click, and a magazine can hold thirty rounds of bullets.
A mature rifle with an effective range of more than 400 meters.
Moreover, the rifles they now have are equipped with two teams of ten thousand people.
During this expedition, Li Min brought out a rifle team.
There is still a rifle team left over in Huaxia City.
This is also where Li Min’s confidence lies.
With modern firearms, the Family Alliance, in Li Min's eyes, was as vulnerable as a chicken or a dog.
