After each battalion was basically organized, they immediately went into training.
Li Yue has always believed that survival is the best training.
The soldiers went up to the mountains to hunt and went into the water to fish. Their footprints traveled from Heiyun Mountain to Mount Tai, and sometimes went deep into the Qingxu territory.
As long as they hold the black cloud and red flag, the defenders in various states and counties will not dare to act rashly.
The Black Cloud Army did not plunder them, and did not even touch the ripe grain in the fields. They only hunted and killed wild beasts.
The people of Qingxu naturally clapped their hands and cheered.
In troubled times, wild beasts are very evil and do not eat livestock. They only want to attack villages and kill humans.
A scout once saw a beast in the north of Xushui. It was like a rat, with red hair, as big as an ox or a horse, and its front claws were like hooks. It was catching corpses floating in the water for food. The scouts wanted to shoot it, but the beast got into the water and disappeared...
Hunting after hunting also made Wubao and counties in the Qingxu area trust the Heiyun Army.
A group of thieves, numbering four to five thousand in number, gathered in the east mountains of Gaoshan County, Linhuai County. They often went down the mountain to plunder, and the people suffered greatly. The counties could not bear the disturbance, but were unable to eradicate them. Seeing that the passing Heiyun Army Qiu did not commit any crimes, they Try asking for help.
The 500 guerrilla battalions passing by attacked decisively and wiped out the thieves on the mountain with a raised hand. They also captured more than 2,000 prisoners and returned to Yanzhou.
This move immediately won praise from all over Qingxu.
So when something happened in various places, he sent people directly to the Lu Army to find Cui Jin for help.
Jimo and Zhu'a counties in Jinan County in Qingzhou, which are adjacent to Taishan County, did not go to the prefect of Jinan due to water disputes. Instead, they went directly south to Lu County and asked Cui Jin to resolve the dispute...
Qingxu's Zhao army and the officials appointed by Jie Zhao gradually became decorations.
Although the Black Cloud Army has not occupied these areas, its influence and soft power are constantly strengthening.
In the first battle in Lu County, the Black Cloud Army gained momentum.
In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, Yanzhou is busy, and the joy of harvest is everywhere.
Zhou Qian's busy feet never touched the ground, and even the Black Cloud Army assisted in the harvest.
Li Yue pretended to be in the fields for a day with a sickle in his hand to encourage morale, and then he had some free time. He took advantage of this time to perfect the general merit system.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the system of military merit and nobility already existed. The Qin State Shang Yang's Reform only perfected it. From Gongshi to Chehou, there were twenty levels. At the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu attached great importance to military merit and attacked the Xiongnu in the north. "Martial Arts Lord" Level 11.
The great martial arts in the Qin and Han Dynasties were inseparable from military merit.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the implementation of the inspection and recruitment system, as well as the implementation of the recruitment system, military merit and title had little to do with ordinary soldiers.
Military merit titles below the eighteenth level tended to decline, leaving only the Guannei Marquis and Lieutenant Marquis as gifts to ministers and nobles.
Later, due to excessive enfeoffment, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, the number of princes continued to increase, and the land and small households were not enough to grant rewards. The princes were divided into three types: county princes, township princes, and pavilion princes. The Marquis of Ting only eats the tax of one township and one pavilion.
This also led to the unprecedented growth of the noble clan.
When Sima Yan founded the country, he granted fifty kings and more than 500 princes. Unlike the Han and Wei dynasties, which were virtual enfeoffments, the Sima family was granted real enfeoffments...
The way for ordinary soldiers to kill enemies on the battlefield and get promoted was basically blocked, so there was a huge gap between the army in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and that in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The soldiers of the Qin and Han Dynasties were happy to hear about the war and were proud to join the army. However, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the passage for soldiers to ascend was blocked, and the common people were unwilling to join the army. Therefore, scholar families, which were later called military households, began to appear and were forcibly assigned by the government. Zizi They have been fighting in the army for generations, and their status is extremely low. Ordinary people are unwilling to marry their daughters to them. They can only intermarry with each other, and they are no different from slaves.
Therefore, during the Wuhu rebellion in China, the Jin army was weakened from top to bottom.
How could a group of aristocratic sons from noble families, leading a group of military slaves, defeat the brutal barbarians?
The enemy of the Han Dynasty, the Wuhu, became a long-standing legend.
If Heiyun Mountain wants to expel Jienu and restore the country, it cannot just shout slogans. It needs to open up the path for the soldiers to ascend and inspire their enthusiasm to kill the enemy.
Li Yue directly restored the twenty-level military merit system of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
This set of things has been tested in actual combat and is adapted to the current situation. Innovation can be done later, but now the system is established from scratch.
From top to bottom, the names have been slightly modified, and they are divided into Shanghujun, Shaohujun, Da Shuchang, Sicha Shuzhang, Dashangzao, Shaoshangzao, Yougeng, Zhonggeng, Zuogeng, Right Shuchang, Zuo Shuchang, Wu Dafu, Gongcheng, Gongdafu, Guandafu, Dafu, Bu Geng, Hairpin Niao, Shangzao, Gongshi.
The above Guards and Young Guards replaced Liehou and Guannei Hou. After all, Li Yue did not have the power to become a lord yet.
In this way, we can also distinguish generals from nobles and officials.
In fact, these titles in Qin and Han Dynasties all corresponded to corresponding rewards, such as public officials, one hectare of land (one hectare in Han and Wei dynasties was one hundred acres), one house, and one slave.
You can get two hectares of land, three cows, and two slaves.
Go up in sequence.
If you don't change it, you can avoid being called a garrison (soldiers serving in turns).
Under the current conditions in Yanzhou, fields are not a problem. There are wild fields all over the place and there are no slaves for the time being. However, Hebei is full of barbarians, and chaos in Hebei is imminent. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Li Yue changed the oxen into mules and donkeys, but there was no way. Oxen were more valuable, and donkeys were everywhere.
After getting it out, Li Yue took it to seek Chang Wei's opinion.
"If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. This policy of the Commander-in-Chief is the foundation of his hegemony!" Chang Wei marveled.
Since the rise of the gentry in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there have been few direct rewards for soldiers.
The roads are blocked by them.
In the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, there were only a few people who were directly killed from the army, including Wei Yan, Ding Feng and others. The vast majority of them either came from powerful families and had their own tribes, or they followed the right elder brother.
The real representative of the lower class is the Yellow Turban Army.
A strong general starts from the army of soldiers, and a prime minister starts from the state pastor.
Han Feizi had such a discussion during the Warring States Period.
Sometimes Li Yue felt that the decline of the Sima family and the chaos of the Five Husbands were inevitable. Problems continued to accumulate, and when he met the Sima family who was not willing to make progress, they exploded...
"The Central Plains is a land of hundreds of battles. There is no danger to defend. The only way is to motivate the soldiers and face enemies from all directions!" Li Yue was also forced to have no choice.
Without favorable geographical location, we can only work more on people's hearts.
Fortunately, there is always a road ahead, and many forces have emerged from the Central Plains in history.
The Central Plains has the disadvantages of the Central Plains, but it also has its advantages.
The idea in Li Yue's mind became clearer and clearer.
Chang Wei smiled slightly and said, "Mountains and rivers are only as strong as the people's hearts. This method is in line with the current situation!"
The essence of this system of military merit is to redistribute land through military merit and fundamentally break the monopoly of land by powerful nobles.
Chang Wei did not object, so Li Yue sent people to Lu County and Yuncheng to consult Cui Jin and Liu Qi.
Cui Jin and Li Yue had the same idea and asked Li Yue to implement it as soon as possible.
However, Liu Qi sent a letter to remind Li Yue to rest and recuperate, and not to go into military force. Now is the critical time to accumulate strength. If this strategy is adopted, people in the army will be wary, and no one will be able to farm in peace. He advised Li Yue to wait until the chaos in Hebei before implementing it. It can boost morale and achieve miraculous results.
The words are quite pertinent.
Ginger is still spicy, no matter how good the strategy is, it still needs the right time.
"Liu Gong's words are enough to help the country!" Li Yue readily accepted it and postponed its implementation.
Something happened, two updates recently...
