Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 284 Xuzhou Reorganizes the Army
Ten days have passed since the water hammer transfer car was officially put into use.

In the past ten days, for the people of Xuzhou, there has not been much change from the past.

But for the villagers outside Xuzhou City, the changes in Xuzhou City are too great.

In ten days, two water hammer turning workshops covering an area of ​​more than [-] mu were built outside Xuzhou City.

Starting from two water hammer transfer cars, follow the structure of water hammer transfer cars, blacksmith shop, iron warehouse, and armament depot.

And in the middle of the two water hammer workshops, a huge, academy-like building stood quietly.

In addition, it is the high wall that surrounds the open space of nearly a thousand acres near the river.

Even in order to prevent outsiders from prying into the secrets, Yuan Tan specially recruited [-] heavy soldiers.

Working day and night, it was possible to build the prototype of the future hospital in just ten days.

Yes, this is just a prototype.

Although Yuan Tan has a system in his hand, he is not a god after all, and it is impossible to build a general academy on the ground.

It's just that a large courtyard that can shelter from wind and rain has been roughly built.

The interior decoration and decoration of each house are completely missing.

But even so, Yuan Tan was quite satisfied with being able to complete this task within ten days.

His original plan was to complete the general planning and preliminary construction of the future courtyard within fifteen days.

And set a corresponding reward.

If the [-] heavy soldiers can be built within half a month, then the salary of the heavy soldiers will be doubled this month.

The baggage soldier is different from the regular soldier, and can be regarded as a relatively special existence under Yuan Tan's command.

The current Xuzhou Army has a total of [-] regular soldiers and [-] heavy soldiers.

The source of the [-] heavy soldiers is quite complicated.

After Yuan Tan was named Marquis of Qi and guarded Xuzhou.

He was originally scattered in the six prefectures of Hebei, as well as the soldiers and horses of the headquarters in Yanzhou City, and rushed to Xuzhou one after another.

Considering the safety of his own cubs, Father Cheap stayed alone in the Central Plains, so he simply sent all the soldiers and horses who had worked under Yuan Tan's command and fought in the war.

Back and forth, more than [-] soldiers and horses came directly.

Aside from the [-] headquarters that followed Yuan Tan in the Southern and Northern Wars, the remaining [-] soldiers and horses obviously couldn't keep up with the quality of the soldiers in the headquarters.

Not even the [-] Xuzhou Army newly trained by Yuan Tan can compare.

So Yuan Tan simply integrated these soldiers and horses together, plus Yu Jin's [-] surrendered troops.

A total of [-] soldiers and horses were handed over to Gao Lan and Pang De, who had only one task.

It is to weed out mediocre soldiers.

The standard is the standard used by the Xuzhou Army in the previous assessment, but it is higher than that standard line.

The second general naturally did not dare to neglect after receiving the order, and it was only half a month before Yuan Tan designed the water hammer workshop.

It can be regarded as a sleepless night, and finally cleared up the Xuzhou army roughly before the end of early February.

Putting aside the quality is really not enough, more than [-] soldiers and horses were eliminated as civilians.

The remaining [-] troops were divided into [-] regular soldiers and [-] supply soldiers.

This is also the plan that Yuan Tan decided after pondering over and over again after sealing Qihou.

In the next Central Plains War, there is not much support from Hebei Cheap Dad.

A large part of the logistics supply has to be solved by ourselves.

The supply battalion, which was not valued by Yuan Tan before, must also be taken into account.

As in the past, regardless of the baggage, the tactic of light cavalry raids may still be usable on the side battlefield, but it is somewhat useless on the frontal battlefield.

Therefore, the supply battalion was specially expanded.

The [-] heavy soldiers were handed over to Yu Jin and Gao Lan to lead them.

Yu Jin is the chief battalion governor, and Gao Lan is the deputy battalion governor.

Of course, both Yu Jin and Gao Lan knew it well.

Yu Jin's position as the battalion supervisor is just for Yu Jin's heart, so that he will not be afraid that Yuan Tan will cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Gao Lan is the one who really manages the power of the supply camp.

Fortunately, the prohibition was considered sensible, and Gao Lan was relieved that he did not compete with Gao Lan for power.

Regarding the fact that he was transferred to the supply camp, Gao Lan didn't have any grudges in his heart.

As Yuan Tan's status rose, Gao Lan gradually realized that in future wars, it would be difficult for ten thousand or thousands of Qingqi to rush forward like before.

They are all head-to-head contests.

In this general environment, the status of the supply camp is particularly prominent.

At the very least, before the Central Plains were pacified, the position of the Battalion Superintendent of the Baggage Battalion would definitely not be a cold bench.

On the contrary, it needs special attention.

Yuan Tan can somewhat guess what Gao Lan and Yu Jin are thinking.

But Yuan Tan doesn't care much about these things, as long as Yu Jin and Gao Lan don't have conflicts.

The [-] supply battalion was planned in one go, although it greatly weakened the combat power of the Xuzhou Army on the frontal battlefield.

After all, heavy soldiers and regular soldiers are two concepts, although heavy soldiers can also go to the battlefield at critical moments.

But the heavy soldiers only need three trainings every ten days.

The heavy soldiers under the command of some princes are even similar to civilian husbands, and there is no such thing as training at all.

As for the regular soldiers of the Xuzhou Army, according to Yuan Tan's regulations, they have one or even two trainings almost every day.

But again, the tasks undertaken by the two parties are also different.

Zhengbing needs to attack fortifications, charge into battle, siege cities and even fill trenches.

And the heavy soldiers, also known as the auxiliary soldiers, are often only responsible for the operation of logistics and supplies, the security of the camp and other miscellaneous tasks.

Even if the grain road is really attacked, according to the requirements of the Xuzhou army, the Xuzhou auxiliary soldiers trained three times every ten days can withstand the first wave of shock.

At least, it won't be a problem until the rescue arrives.

In addition to this, there is a more crucial point.

The military salary of the auxiliary soldiers and the military salary of the main soldiers are two different things.

According to Yuan Tan's new regulations, Zhengbing received a monthly salary of [-] qian in addition to the two shi's salary every month.

Once there is a war, three months of monthly salary will be directly issued as an incentive before the war, and the monthly salary will be doubled during the war.

But all these benefits have nothing to do with auxiliary soldiers.

The monthly salary of the auxiliary soldiers is only enough to support the family's salary and two stones.

Even so, if this kind of military salary is spread outside, it is enough to make the auxiliary soldiers under the command of other princes envious.

Don't say anything else.

Take Yizhou Liu Zhang, who is known as the land of abundance, the auxiliary soldiers under his command are only paid a stone of rice per month, which is enough to support three mouths.

As for Wei Gong Cao Cao, let alone.

All of Wei Gong's military pay was spent on the investment of Zhengbing.

The life of the auxiliary soldiers is even more miserable than that of the civilian husbands.

At least, the peasants can still farm the land when there is no corvee, and at least they can open their mouths anyway.

If Cao Ying's auxiliary soldiers had not encountered any war, their monthly salary would only be a mere five dou.

Don't talk about raising a family, supporting yourself is a troublesome thing!
