Chapter 181: Death Camp
After leaving the big tent, Shang Ji had already got the rights he wanted.
Qin Kai appointed Shang Ji as the full lieutenant of the death battalion, responsible for everything in the battalion. All promotions, dismissals, rewards, and punishments of officers and soldiers in the death battalion are all decided by Shang Ji with a word!
Those with official positions below Sima can be cut first and then played!
Of course, these rights are not taken for nothing. In exchange, Shang Ji issued a military order to Qin Kai, and within a month, the death battalion will be built into an elite army, and if it cannot be completed, he will be willing to be dealt with by military law!
After Shang Ji left, among Qin Kai's big tent, a person who had been standing silently behind Qin Kai and dressed as a scribe couldn't help but speak: "Lord, since you think he is disloyal to Dayan and cunning, why do you still give him so much power?" ”
Qin Kai smiled when he heard this, and instead of answering, he asked, "Zimo, what do you think of Shang Ji's ability?" ”
The scribe who was called Zimo thought for a moment and replied honestly: "The force is extraordinary, resolute and decisive, and he can be called a man of both wisdom and bravery!" ”
"In that case, with such a good talent, why don't you use this handsome?"
"But Dashuai, you said he ......"
Before Zimo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Kai waving his hand, smiled and continued: "I know, I know, but so what? Our enemy is Donghu, even if this merchant has some other thoughts, what can he do? After all, he can't be Donghu's spy no matter what! As long as he can kill Hu people, that's enough! ”
Qin Kai's tone was resolute and decisive, and after a pause, he continued: "Besides, the left and right are just death camps, even if it is a waste utilization, why not let him try it?" ”
Speaking of the death camp, Qin Kai's tone was full of disdain.
The scribe also smiled when he heard this, and his face suddenly brightened: "I see, it's because my subordinates are too worried!" ”
………………………………………………
Leaving the tent, Shang Ji was also thinking about his next plan.
Although I got the right I wanted, the next road was not easy.
The official name of the death camp is [Dare to Die and Atonement Pioneer Camp], referred to as the death camp, commonly known as the crime camp and the death camp! Just listen to the name, you know that this is not a normal barracks.
If it is said that the Chinese army personally led by Qin Kai is the elite of the Yan army, the absolute main force. That death camp is the scum pit and garbage heap in the Yan army!
The soldiers in the death camp are all prisoners who have committed all kinds of serious crimes, and whenever there is a war, they will send prisoners from all over the country to be escorted into the army.
Yan Guo stipulated that as long as he did not commit the crime of great rebellion (rebellion, killing his father and mother), he served in the death camp, and as long as he could obtain two enemy military heads, he could be acquitted. Or participate in ten battles in a row, survive and eliminate all crimes!
Although the rules are like this, there are not many people who can really get out of the death camp, and there may not be one out of ten!
The death rate of the sergeants and pawns of the death battalion is extremely high! In addition, the morale of the military is extremely low! The overall combat effectiveness is also quite impressive, and normally only the convicted generals will be transferred to the death battalion as the commander.
This is also the reason why Guo Biao and others reacted so violently when Qin Li read out the order.
Qin Kai believed that only the army composed of good families had combat effectiveness, and he was extremely disdainful of the death battalion, and he didn't plan to bring this gang of wastes on this expedition, but due to tradition, the death battalion was finally included in the combat sequence.
It is precisely because of this that Shang Ji can have the opportunity to obtain a complete set of life and death!
A normal army, let alone the Chinese army led by Qin Kai, no army in front or behind, left or right, will not rest assured that Shang Ji, a half-minded person, will join!
Seriously speaking, the average combat power of a single soldier in the death battalion is not low, although it may not be as good as the Chinese army personally trained by Qin Kai, but it is only stronger than the other four armies!
However, the combat strength of the army never depends on the level of individual single-handedness! The army relied on strict discipline, and when orders were given, the spirit of not flinching even in the abyss ahead.
Obviously, the death battalion, which is made up of criminals, does not have such an indomitable momentum.
Qin Kai even forbade the soldiers of the death battalion who had successfully atonement to join other armies, just to prevent a rat feces from spoiling a pot of porridge.
For this kind of army, Shang Ji also seems to have a bit of a headache!
Although the earliest Black Armor Army was also composed of thieves, at that time there were few in number, and the Shang Ji had enough energy to correct their bad habits.
But now there are more than 8,000 people in the death camp! Loose habits have been formed, and it's not easy to correct!
Of course, the matter has come to this point, and Shang Ji has no other good choice but to break it hard! Anyway, the military order has been set, and if you can't complete the mission, this dungeon journey will almost end here, and you have to go all out for the mission point!
Out of the Chinese army, Shang Ji returned to his military camp.
Qin Kai allowed Shang Ji to postpone his trip to the death camp, as long as he could report within a week. At the same time, it also authorized the merchant to form a 100-member personal guard!
Officers at the rank of lieutenant are already qualified to form their own personal guards. This pro-guard is equivalent to a private army formed by the state to help the generals, and except for the generals to whom they belong, outsiders cannot easily interfere.
The pro-guard is an important assistant for officers to control the army, and it is the guarantee of the authority of the generals! When the battle situation is unfavorable, the pro-guard team also shoulders the responsibility of turning the tide.
However, in order to prevent the generals from becoming bigger and supporting their own troops, the number of pro-guards was also strictly limited. Take the lieutenant as an example, you can only have a personal guard team of up to fifty people, which can be short, but it is absolutely not allowed to be overnumbered!
However, Shang Ji's situation is special and he needs to go to the death camp to take up his post, Qin Kai deliberately made an exception to double the number of Shang Ji's personal guards and allowed the formation of a hundred-person personal guard!
Although there is a compilation, there is no one! The members of the general's personal guard are recruited by themselves, and the army directly allocates the corresponding grain and grass salaries to the general, and then the general forms the personal guard team on his own, which is also to ensure that the general can absolutely control the personal guard.
A normal new lieutenant would certainly not be distressed that no one was available, but the speed at which Shang Ji rose was too fast! According to the normal rhythm, it will take several years for an ordinary non-commissioned officer to be promoted to lieutenant at the earliest. For such a long time, I must have known enough candidates for the pro-guards.
However, it has been less than a month since Shang Ji entered the dungeon, and there are only a few hundred veterans left in the camp who have not left for the time being.
Shang Ji was still satisfied with these people, and hoped to recruit them to join his personal guard. But this matter is not a matter of the willingness of the businessman, it depends on the wishes of others.
The lowest of these soldiers are all chiefs, most of them are at the level of tun commanders, and the centurion rate is not a few. Why did others give up their good prospects and go to the death camp with Shang Ji to serve as an ordinary member of the pro-guard?
Although their promotion can be regarded as sticking to the light of Shang Ji, others are also meritorious deeds with one knife and one shot! The team of more than 1,000 people was less than 600 after the battle, and Shang Ji was not qualified to ask these soldiers who had survived a hundred battles to join the death camp with him.
