27. Rank reform
At this time, a strong wind blew, and the blowing Yang Mu grew up, and the robe hunted sounded.
The soldiers around were already stupid, and looked at Yang Mucheng in a daze. There were occasional martial arts competitions in the barracks, but they were only limited to ordinary soldiers, and battles between powerhouses like this today were even rarer. Several bigwigs in the army, including Li Tiequan, were all killed by Yang Mucheng with a palm, and this kind of power is simply indescribable in words.
The stunned soldiers were also blown by this fierce wind, came back to their senses, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "See the saint, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
The cheers rang out in unison, penetrating the sky.
Yang Mucheng nodded secretly, so that there was an army. But this is not enough, these people are used to being lazy, and they can't control it at all.
"How many people haven't come to report?" Yang Mucheng asked.
"There are probably about two thousand more people...... Ma Ping said in a low voice.
Yang Mucheng frowned: "Why are there so many people? These people are not on standby in the barracks, what are they doing? In this state, what if the enemy country's army fights? Can we rely on these people to defend our family and the country?"
"Back to the Holy One. Li Tiequan was not strict in governing the army, and there were often people who secretly escaped from the barracks and mixed up in wine shops and green buildings, and those soldiers who were not there should have gone out to drink flower wine. Ma Ping said.
"Send someone to arrest those people back and destroy ......," Yang Mu said.
Ma Ping was stunned, this is more than 2,000 people, but he didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly went out with the Praetorian Guard.
Yang Mucheng put his hands behind his back, and under the frightened gaze of many soldiers, he slowly wandered his steps. "Disappointed! I am really disappointed! You are the soldiers of the Great Qian Kingdom, and the fighting spirit of our Great Qian Kingdom! Behind you, there are your parents, your brothers and sisters, and nearly two million or so people in the entire Great Qian Kingdom waiting for you to protect, but you are in such a posture. I ask you, if Goryeo sends an army to attack our Daqian Kingdom at this time, will you people be able to defend it?"
"Can you make sure that your parents, your loved ones, will not die under the enemy's butcher's knife?"
Well?
Hearing Yang Mucheng's words, Guan Jing's eyes lit up. It was the first time she had heard an emperor say this - it stands to reason that the emperor should care most about his own country. As for the life or death of the people, they don't care at all.
Just when Guan Jing was novel, there was silence in the barracks. Obviously, Yang Mucheng's words played a role!
Of course, this is not enough.
"Ye Wuheng, all the soldiers over the age of twenty-five in the army will be eliminated from the army. Yang Mucheng said lightly.
Ye Wuheng was shocked and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, these soldiers in their twenties almost occupy seventy percent of the army, if all the troops are eliminated, then our army can only have about five thousand people left!"
"Five thousand people are enough!" Yang Mucheng waved his hand.
The training methods of this world are too old, and he intends to follow his own steps. In Yang Mucheng's view, a real warrior is an existence that can be a hundred. It's like a special forces in China in the previous life, sneak attacks, assassinations, and agents...... Nothing is incompetent.
Soldiers are expensive but not much more expensive!
A martial artist in the early stage of internal strength is more than enough to deal with dozens of ordinary soldiers. If you can train all this army into internal martial artists, wouldn't it be equivalent to a special force?
An army of 5,000 people can even be compared to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of others!
"In addition, the 'basic qi induction formula' will be passed on in the army. Let the Quartermaster Department triple the meals for all the soldiers every day, and there must be meat for a meal!" Yang Mu said.
"This ......"
Ye Wuheng understood.
Yang Mucheng is going to build an army composed of all warriors!
It's not that no one on the mainland has done this, but what are the consequences of doing so? This army is too strong to control. In this way, the Dali Dynasty, which unified the entire continent, was divided and became countless large and small countries.
"Are you worried that I won't be able to control this army?" Yang Mucheng glanced at Ye Wuheng, who was surprised, and said with a smile: "Since I dare to give orders, I naturally have the ability to control them. If you dare to rebel and suppress it, it's a big deal to kill it!"
Rectifying the army is a tedious matter.
Yang Mucheng is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, this kind of thing will naturally not be done by him personally, Ye Wuheng will do it properly. As for the soldiers who escaped from the barracks and spent all day drinking, they were caught on the spot and beheaded directly.
This scene also indirectly planted a seed in the army that did not dare to resist.
In the shade, Yang Mucheng knocked on Erlang's leg, holding a pen and constantly writing and drawing. Guan Jing kneaded his shoulders very intimately, and several maids peeled the frozen grapes and carefully sent them to Yang Mucheng's mouth.
After half a day, the purge of the army was finally over.
"I studied several battles in this world, and found that each one has a very striking feature, once the general who leads the army is killed, the whole army will be defeated. Why don't I just move the Huaxia set here and use it!"
"Ordinary soldiers are divided into 1st class, 2nd class, and 3rd class. Private 3rd class is the lowest, private 1st class is the highest. ”
"Then there are the first non-commissioned officers, the second non-commissioned major, and the third-class non-commissioned major. Master Chief, who can command ten soldiers and form a small detachment. ”
"In the future, there are second lieutenants, lieutenants, and captains, and these can command a hundred-man army. Majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels can command a thousand-strong force. As for the major generals, lieutenant generals, generals, and marshals of higher ranks...... Can be used later. ”
Stretching, Yang Mucheng stood up.
The official Jing who served beside him, as well as several maids, all cautiously moved out of the way.
"Ma Ping!" Yang Mucheng beckoned and handed him the military rank assignment drawn in his hand. "From now on, I appoint you as a major general and command the entire barracks. You assign these ranks, and all soldiers start with the third class, and only after meritorious service can they be promoted to the ranks. ”
Ma Ping suspiciously took the list of military ranks in his hand.
It must be known that whether it is the entire Daqian Kingdom or other countries, they follow the scheme of the ten-commander, centurion, and thousand-commander, which has been handed down for thousands of years. But this emperor said that he would change it, and this is possible? Military ranks, but they are related to the foundation of the army, and if something goes wrong, there will be great trouble at that time.
"I'm tired, I'll go back to the palace first. I'll leave the assignment of ranks to you, and the training will start in three days, and I don't want anything to go wrong. Yang Mucheng glanced at Ma Pingdao lightly.
"Yes, Shengshang!" Ma Ping smiled bitterly, and originally planned to persuade Yang Mucheng's words, so he swallowed it back into his stomach.
He looked helplessly at the rank distribution table in his hand, and was stunned for a moment...... The name of the military rank is something he has never seen and heard of. But it's clear at a glance. He suddenly had a premonition in his heart, maybe this young emperor could really make the national strength bleak, and the backward Daqian Kingdom would become a big country that everyone admired from now on!
