"I really want to clear all those war criminals out of the barracks." Chen Xi felt dizzy when he thought of the three to four thousand Xiliang soldiers who were obviously mentally ill and fought with real knives in the barracks every day.
"Haha, don't you know that those three or four thousand Xiliang soldiers are the real elite among the Xiliang soldiers?" Li You rolled his eyes and said, "Even if you give them a collective fighting belief, they can give birth to a military soul. , they have almost already had..."
"When you formed the Flying Bear Army, what did you tell them?" Jia Xu thought for a while and said. In fact, the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army did not go through too difficult selection. They just captured a bunch of outstanding Xiliang Iron Knight soldiers and then As Dong Zhuo's pro-soldier.
It's just that because the cavalry themselves are already good enough and there are so many of them, the guys selected are basically brave enough and ferocious enough, and they only have one more reason to fight for.
"I just told them that I hope they can have unparalleled strength like a bear and as strong as a leopard, and then ordered them to protect..." Li You sighed and said that everything at the beginning was like a passing cloud.
"They agreed with that belief, so they gave birth to military souls, because whether it is you or the previous one, they are the spiritual banner of the cavalry." Jia Xu said in a message, this sentence is almost a revelation.
"But such soldiers are very likely to fall into the situation of killing for fun. This is in the Han Dynasty. They are killing their own people. Don't say you don't know about the scholars. They don't stop killing at all." Chen Xi had long wanted to say. In this sentence, those people are not normal at all, and they should have received psychological counseling in future generations.
"The problem is that it will be more troublesome if you send them away." Li You glanced at Chen Xi and said, "They don't know how to support themselves at all. They will kill people. They rely on their merits to make a living. If you send them away, they will definitely There’s chaos.”
Chen Xi pressed his temples and felt a headache. There was no way to solve this problem. That was the truth. It would be even more troublesome to put it back, and it would look big every day if you keep it.
"Is there any way to prevent them from killing people?" Chen Xi thought for a moment and said. He knew very well that this was a mental illness. The problem was that he didn't know how to provide psychological counseling.
"Why are you trying to stop them from killing people?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi in confusion and said. "You all know that's unrealistic. Why don't you think of other ways, such as letting them kill barbarians. You won't care how many people die."
"That's all we can do." Chen Xi said helplessly. Chen Xi felt heartbroken if he really wanted to get out. These Liangzhou soldiers are the elites with truly explosive combat capabilities. It is estimated that as soon as Chen Xi told them to leave, Wei Yan and the others received their own military camps one by one.
"So you don't need to worry about this at all." Jia Xu said with a gentle expression, not paying attention to the death caused by the Xiliang soldiers at all. It should be said that for the counselors and generals of this era, there is no need to care about the death caused by the soldiers. .
"Well, if possible, I really hope to provide them with psychological counseling." Chen Xi said with a wry smile. He actually sympathized with these people.
As Jia Xu and Li You said, these are the most elite warriors, and they basically don't know anything except fighting. If they leave the battlefield to even feed themselves, they will only create death.
Even if Chen Xi wants to compensate them, he doesn't know how to compensate them. These people have no wives and children, and their parents have passed away. They all have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. The environments they are most familiar with are battlefields and military camps, and the people they are most familiar with are It's Paoze.
This group of people is the most adaptable to the battlefield and loves the battlefield the most. They may not know why they are fighting. But he is the soldier who knows how to fight best.
"Maybe they like this kind of life and need some psychological counseling." Li You said coldly, "Zichuan, when did you start speaking on things you are not good at?"
Chen Xi was silent. He suddenly realized that what Li You said made sense. Why do you focus on problems that you can't solve? For those Liangzhou soldiers who were like warmongers, it might not be as good as a meal of meat. They were not as delicate as later generations.
"On the five days of the New Year's Day, there will be no shortage of wine and meat. We will replace the weapons and armor with the best for those soldiers who fight with real swords." Chen Xi said after being silent for a while. This is probably the most suitable reward for Liangzhou soldiers. Give them the money. They don't have anywhere to spend money.
"Ten million dollars will be finished in five days." Jia Xu turned to look at Chen Xi silently.
"My lord will not mind a mere ten million dollars. As for the other military camps that are not convinced, go and fight if they don't agree!" Li You said with a sneer. Doesn't Jia Xu's words imply that he does not worry about the shortage but the inequality?
"Okay, if you don't accept it, go ahead and fight." Chen Xi also said helplessly. For five days of meat and drinks that don't affect combat effectiveness, 10 million is really a friendly price. A mere 20,000 people can eat better during the Chinese New Year. The expenses caused by the day...
Fortunately, only half of the soldiers are guarding the camp during the New Year, and other military camps do not have this kind of food every day, but even so, the garrison and mobile troops and the troops in various counties add up to more than 200,000, and it costs tens of millions to eat It’s gone.
"It's terrible to raise soldiers." Chen Xi sighed and said. What's even more terrible is that he is still in charge of money. So far, he has not been killed by the consumption of funds. It is not easy for him.
"It's better not to expand the army in the future." Li You hesitated. It was still easy to raise troops in Liangzhou. They brought their own horses, fired guns, and took care of the food. When they got rich, they just gave them some money.
"I think so too." Chen Xi nodded silently. Raising soldiers was really a trap. He really hoped that Cao Cao and Sun Ce would learn from him and build a welfare security system. The economy would collapse in a matter of minutes.
"According to our current situation, after the entire Han Dynasty is unified, we may need to raise millions of troops." Li You said with a headache.
The biggest problem with Chen Xi's current welfare measures is that it costs too much. After the country is unified, it will cost millions to raise soldiers. Counting weapons and equipment, it will cost an average of almost 6 billion per year...
This is a statistic that can drag down a normal empire to death. Although the benefits of this are huge, but every time I think about it a hundred years later, when the country does not have so much money, big problems will definitely occur!
Those who don’t plan for the future cannot plan for the moment. What Li You is thinking about is no longer simply one generation. What he is thinking about is almost a hundred years from now. Although there is a layer of sergeants inserted between the aristocratic families and the common people, it looks very beautiful. , the question is, can the Han Dynasty really afford it?
Li Youke has truly reached the state of having power over the world. He is very aware of the annual tax revenue of the Han Dynasty and also knows Chen Xi's abilities. The problem is that Chen Xi is a person, not a system, and people always have a limited life span. This is not I can finish it with one sentence. (To be continued.)
