Seeing that the army's morale was ready, Lu Wu struck while the iron was hot and shouted: "Where is the army chief?"
"My subordinates are here." Su Zhong ran in from outside the camp, quickly came to the deer and horse, bowed and saluted.
"Organize the army and log in." Lu Wu ordered.
Although he was giving instructions to Su Zhong, his voice was still clearly heard by every soldier.
"Follow the general's orders!"
Su Zhong first performed a military salute and then straightened up.
He didn't have Lu Wu's cultivation, so he had to gather his strength and shouted: "The armies will group themselves into groups first and form a team of 100 to line up on the west side and stand by."
Although the camp of five thousand people is large, after all, everyone is concentrated in the middle square at the moment. With the soldiers telling each other, everyone quickly formed a team and came to the west side to stand up under the command of Lu Wu's soldiers. .
Lu Wu's soldiers were at least officers above the rank of team leader, and there were also quite a few of them in the camp. It was not difficult to guide these already well-trained troops to their designated positions.
After the squares were arranged one by one, the camp quickly became quiet.
"Each group elects twenty corps commanders!" Su Zhong shouted.
This is not surprising. The corps commander is not even an officer, so he can only be called a soldier who leads everyone to fight.
These surrendered soldiers were all from the regular army, and they tried their best to find familiar acquaintances when they were divided into groups. In just a few words, twenty corps commanders were selected from each team.
"Commander, come out!"
"The corps commander selects ten chiefs!"
Someone started whispering below.
"The chief elects two team leaders!"
The crowd suddenly became noisy.
The gang leader was in charge of fifty people and was already a formal military officer. He no longer received salary but a salary.
Can official positions also be elected by soldiers?
Some even regret it, thinking that if they work hard to build some connections, they might be selected as leaders, and now they have a chance to be selected as team leaders.
Seeing the endless noise in the camp, Lu Wu shouted: "Quiet!"
The camp quickly became quiet,
"When fighting for your life, a team of comrades must rely on each other, so I give you a chance to select brothers you can trust to lead. Since we are all brothers, who is capable and who is not, don't you know?
Not only do I want you to elect the team leader, but I also want you to elect the team leader. You must be careful and careful when selecting people. To put it lightly, their abilities will determine how much you earn in the future; to put it more seriously, they will affect your life and death. "
"You don't have to be proud of those who have been selected. If your ability is insufficient in the future, more than half of the soldiers will petition together. After the reasons are found out, you will be dismissed from the military."
"These rules are in the military law book. Each team has one copy. The team leaders announce and implement it once a week. It is important that everyone under your command understands it."
After Lu Wu finished speaking, someone began to whisper again, but this time it was not loud noises, but all kinds of excitement.
In any army of Chu State - especially in the relationship between superiors and subordinates, only officers bully soldiers. How can soldiers dismiss officers?
It is not uncommon for lower-level soldiers to have their military pay deprived by officers, and it is also normal for sergeants to do some private work for themselves - this is still the case in the regular army of Chu State, where soldiers have to be on the roster, and officers are somewhat restrained in doing things.
If the soldiers in counties and counties are not strictly controlled, it is common for the commander to let the soldiers farm for themselves, let alone swallow up the military pay.
What's more, there are even cases where officers use their military position to suppress soldiers' wealth and enslave their wives and daughters.
If the soldiers can unite and legally remove the officers, which officer will dare to bully the soldiers at will?
It would have been extremely difficult to implement this kind of military system, but now among the soldiers surrendered by the Chu State, there are no middle- and senior-level officers above the rank of captain, and at most they are only team leaders.
Lu Wu announced the military system at this time, and there was only cheers and no resistance. Even if there was a group leader who complained in his heart, he would never dare to jump out at this time. What's more, the group leaders who originally had prestige were very likely to use this opportunity. Opportunity to be directly selected as team leader.
That kind of unpopular gang leader, no one even wanted him now. He could only stand alone outside the team with a few confidants. In the end, he was picked up by Lu Wu's personal soldiers, joined Lu Wu's personal army camp, and directly became a leader. Cheng Luwu's personal soldiers can be regarded as a step up.
In one day, Lu Wu reorganized the 5,000 surrendered soldiers, registered them, and personally appointed ten battalion commanders and battalion deputy officers - the 500 battalion commanders were already able to take charge of their own duties, so naturally they could not let the soldiers elect themselves.
Originally, there was no such thing as a battalion deputy in the regular army, but Lu Wu lacked talents. The officers he personally promoted from the bottom were brave and loyal enough, but they had no specific experience in commanding an army, so they had to be paired with an experienced officer. Officer Auxiliary.
Now Lu Wu has a total of 8,000 soldiers, including Danchen County soldiers, which is already a sizable army.
On the next day, Lu Wu ordered the newly appointed Chongling Colonel Ying Yuan to lead the army. Tuchen Colonel Feng Yuncheng led 3,000 troops to stay in Danchen County, and he took the remaining 5,000 troops to Bingtong County.
, let him out and let him try to be alone;
As for Tuchen Colonel Feng Yuncheng, he was the former deputy general of Nanhe Prefecture Water Village. He was a veteran captain before the surrender. In particular, this person was responsible for the daily training and logistics of the water village all year round. Although he was not very courageous, he was extremely knowledgeable about military affairs. Familiar, it is more than enough to assist Ying Yuan. )
Neither of these two people are talented generals, but now Fenyuan General Cen Zhan of Yuci Prefecture has been captured by Lu Wu and is waiting for a ransom. Five thousand elites of Yuci Prefecture have been taken to Bingtong County by Lu Wu. Facing the invading enemy from Tonghe Prefecture, if the three thousand troops cannot defend Danchen County, they will deserve to die.
Standing at the top of the city, watching the smoke and dust gradually disappear, Chong Leng Colonel Ying Yuan turned to look at Tu Chen Colonel Feng Yuncheng and said, "Brother Feng, this time I wronged you and became my deputy."
In terms of age, Ying Yuan is thirty-one years old this year, but Feng Yuncheng is already over forty.
In terms of seniority, Feng Yuncheng once held the position of deputy general. Although his military rank was still that of a school lieutenant, he was the closest to a general among the school lieutenants.
However, in order to control the surrender of the army, Lu Wu dismissed all the original officers of the Chu army. This kind of qualifications was not an advantage, but a disadvantage.
If Feng Yuncheng hadn't come up with a vicious idea to cut off his own future, Lu Wu would not have trusted him to continue to be a captain.
So Feng Yuncheng was very understanding and said: "What did Ying Xiaowei say? Since the general ordered Ying Xiaowei to be the master, Feng would naturally follow Ying Xiaowei's orders."
"Brother Feng, you said that the general left ten Yuci Mansion soldiers and seven accountants for us. What does this mean?" Ying Yuan asked.
"This -" Feng Yuncheng had some guesses, but his identity was sensitive and it was difficult to say it out.
"In my opinion, the general just wants us to rob him! Otherwise, how will the benefits that the general mentioned yesterday be implemented?" Ying Yuan did not wait for Feng Yuncheng's answer and laughed to himself.
