Don't look at the mythical achievements in history, such as eight hundred to one hundred thousand, three thousand to four hundred thousand, etc., but there are only a few battles that can be remembered in history as defeating more with less.
Most battles are fought with greater numbers.
Wang Jing considers himself to be average in commanding troops.
If he was asked to command a group of cavalry to charge into battle, he would still be somewhat confident, but if he were to command the troops normally, he would be a little blind.
Although he is studying all the time, his real ability to lead troops can only lead two to three thousand people. With more troops, it is easy for him to lose sight of one thing when commanding.
Now pitting himself against Yuan Shu, Wang Jing has no confidence.
Whether it is the expansion of power or the growth of the ability to command troops, it is necessary to start small before becoming big, and first be weak before becoming strong.
That's too far.
In short, Shen Yi's words made Wang Jing firm in his thoughts.
"Mr. Shen is right. The rice maturity time is only half a day slower. It will still take some time before it returns to normal!"
“We need to grow quickly before the food ripening time resumes!”
Wang Jing said in a deep voice.
After listening to Shen Yi's report, Wang Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. This emotion was not restlessness, but a sense of urgency that time was running out.
He came to the Huxin Island Shipyard and took a boat to the water village on Zhongdao in the north. At this time, Jiang Zhixiong and Li Jun were still training the navy in the water village.
Among the three thousand households of the East Lake Army, the infantry thousand households were the first to be completed.
After absorbing the people of Liangshan Water Village, Qianhu, the navy army, has become a real navy army after these days of continuous training.
The water network in Sizhou, Huaibei, is crisscrossed, especially after the terrain expanded ten times. The water flow, which was not originally wide, is comparable to the big rivers in the source world.
Rivers flow from northwest to southeast.
These rivers eventually flow into the vast Huaihe River and the huge Hongze Lake!
The Anhe River that flows into East Lake is just a relatively small tributary that flows to the Huaihe River and Hongze Lake. There is still river water running through it further east of East Lake.
When Wang Jing competes with other forces in the future, the Navy will be of great use!
Before Yuan Shu's army and Sun Ru's army had established a navy, Wang Jing's navy of thousands of households might be able to rely on him to unexpectedly win and defeat powerful enemies!
The lake ripples.
Wang Jing took Shen Yi, Zhu Wu, Mai Tiezhang and Mu Hong on a boat to approach Donghu Village. He could vaguely see hundreds of young men gathered in Donghu Village. They were continuing to cultivate farmland under the leadership of a hundred households.
They were going to the east bank of the lake to survey the site for building the city.
Before setting off, Wang Jing took everyone to visit various places.
"The East Lake Guard has selected four hundred people. These guards are training and cultivating farmland at the same time. The guards follow the orders of the county magistrate, county lieutenants and commanders!"
"Currently, the commander level has not been established yet, so Mr. Shen must dispatch it first!"
Wang Jing said.
Guard soldiers have two functions.
The first role is to assist local officials in suppressing rebellions and exterminating bandits. The other role is to serve as a reserve force for soldiers.
They were treated as a boot camp by Wang Jing. Guard soldiers usually train the same as combat soldiers, but the training intensity is not as intense as combat soldiers. A systematic training method can allow them to quickly integrate with the army after joining combat soldiers.
"My lord, the regular soldiers have enough food, clothing and armor to replenish themselves every day. At this stage, no food and pay is nothing, but the guards army... they not only have to farm, but also train the reserve team to act as the regular army, and also have to assist officials to guard the land. One party..."
"They didn't receive many rewards or benefits, but they had to bear so many tasks. My subordinates are worried that over time, the military morale of the Guard Army will be unstable!"
Zhu Wu said with some worry.
Mai Tiezhang and Mu Hong looked slightly moved at this time, but as military lieutenant generals, it was not appropriate for them to interrupt at this time.
For them to interrupt at this time is to gain benefits for their subordinates and win over the morale of the army. Mai Tiezhang looks rough but is actually very thoughtful. People who can become generals in the Northern and Southern Dynasties have their own way of survival.
Mai Tiezhang, a member of the Qianhu family, did not speak, and Mu Hong, a member of the Baihu family, naturally did not speak.
"Don't worry, Zhu Zhenfu, how could my lord ignore this! When the land is divided in the future, as long as the soldiers join the army, they will get twice as much land as the ordinary people, and the Weisuo army is no exception..."
"Fields, houses, and money, the first thing to ensure is the interests of the soldiers!"
Shen Yi laughed.
Wang Jing nodded and added: "If a sergeant in the army is disabled in battle, he will become a commander or team leader of the guard army, responsible for training troops. If he has made meritorious service, he can also serve as a township inspector, county lieutenant and other official positions." .”
"Whether it is civil affairs or military system, we are improving it bit by bit, and it is impossible to ignore military morale!"
There is a saying that goes well: The emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses.
In troubled times, who dares to ignore the bad morale of the army and the bad effects on the soldiers under his command? Wei Bo Jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty is a lesson learned from the past.
After watching Donghutun.
Everyone took a boat to approach Nanzhai Township. Tian Liangyun was leading the people to harvest food and then continued to cultivate farmland. Although the power of the world's blessings has declined a little, it has little impact at this stage.
There is no need to leave the land fallow, it is so fertile that you can almost squeeze out a handful of oil.
In addition to farming, logging and quarrying, some elderly people were also arranged to graze.
Tian Liangyun caught some sheep from somewhere. Many lambs were grazing around them, gnawing on the green grass around Nanzhai.
Nanzhai Township, which was originally under military control, was given the atmosphere of a normal village by these lambs.
"Tian Liangyun has done quite well these days! Whether it is farming or mediating civil affairs, he is very skilled. If the lord takes over another county in the future, he can consider Tian Liangyun as the county magistrate!"
Shen Yi smiled.
After all, Tian Liangyun was the first person to follow Wang Jing. If Wang Jing can achieve something in the future, it goes without saying that he will also be able to make progress.
It's just that due to his ability, he may not be able to serve as a high official.
"Not only Tian Liangyun, but also civil servants like Si Jing, if they are capable enough, it is not impossible to become county magistrates in the future! Mr. Shen, please tell me to go down and set up a county school in Donghu County and appoint a civil servant to teach. The smart people will be literate and taught some simple calculations."
"Otherwise, it would be bad if we defeat powerful enemies and conquer territory but don't have enough officials to rule!"
Wang Jing suddenly thought of this and said.
There are billions of people in the long history, and there are not many literate scribes, but it cannot be said to be rare.
But these people come from various dynasties in history, and most of them have a subconscious sense of belonging to the dynasty they came from.
Wang Jing can recruit them, and if they are celebrities, they should be reused. But deep down I definitely don’t believe it completely.
After all, celebrities and ministers are in the minority.
To rule millions of people, it is not enough to rely on just a few famous ministers and high-ranking officials. The official positions set up by Wang Jing extend their tentacles to villages and towns, and more officials at the lowest level are needed.
If there are not enough officials such as township chiefs and township inspectors, then the official system established by Wang Jing will be empty, and the so-called power going to the countryside will become empty talk.
