From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 68 Reorganize

The vast majority of soldiers in this world are not for patriotism, and loyalty to the emperor only stays on slogans. Perhaps those officers with vested interests are really grateful to the emperor and the court for their favor, and they fight for it from the bottom of their hearts. It is basically impossible for soldiers to have such a high level of political consciousness.

The morale maintenance of serving as a soldier under the Tang Dynasty generally comes from two aspects.

First, it is the most effective factor in maintaining morale: the sense of honor of the army!

Datang’s field elites can resist the high casualty ratio because of their own sense of honor!

I am an elite of all wars and I am proud. For the sake of honor, I will never retreat or surrender!

probably means that…

Of course, that kind of elite treatment can’t be bad.

Second, it is very realistic. Military merit and rewards, the sense of honor of the army can only be experienced by the real elite. Most of the Tang army is still maintained by military merits and rewards. The strict military merit promotion system is an important factor in maintaining the combat capability of the Tang army.

However, Richard, who was born at the bottom, did not have huge funds to support the army, the gold swallowing beast, so he could only use a cheap but very effective incentive method-looting after the war.

Richard’s promise to these soldiers, as long as they win the battle, they can get 50% of the trophies and have a certain priority to choose!

This ratio is very high in this world. After all, the bosses and officers on the top also need loot to fill their pockets. The bandits and the like are the bosses who eat meat, and the younger brothers can only drink soup…

Because of this, Richard’s promise moved the vast majority of Han Chinese to drop their soldiers. The remaining small number of Han Chinese dropped their soldiers not because they were not interested in robbery, but because they were brainwashed by the magistrate of Gaoxiang County or the superiors. Up…

There are such loyal people in every army. There are not many people, but there are some!

This kind of person has a strong centripetal force towards the government of Gaoxiang County, and can’t easily move the opponent to change camps. The surrender is only driven by the instinct to follow the trend and fear of death.

It is very difficult for them to work for the enemies of Gaoxiang county government.

So, after the screening, Richard detained this small group of people and the captive middle and high-ranking officers separately, planning to pick a good time to kill the chickens and the monkeys, and give them a happy…

The other Han soldiers were naturally assigned to the Ming army camp, which had serious shortages, and the Ming army camp was replenished from more than 300 to a little over 600.

No way, the county soldiers resisted too stubbornly on the battlefield. Most of them were injured and killed. Richard didn’t need severely wounded people, so naturally he sent them on the road. In addition, the county soldiers themselves had a base of only 1,000, so in the end There were not many captured Han soldiers.

The individual quality of these Han soldiers is good, and if they rush into the Ming barracks and reorganize them, they will be able to fight on the battlefield.

Han Li had to worry about the reorganization of the Ming Barracks, and Richard began to deal with the issue of surrendering more than 2,000 soldiers.

Like the Han surrenders, Richard first singled out all the Han officers from the Semu surrender army. The leaders of the Semu servants were all Han people. After being singled out, these Han officers were not like the county soldiers. That silence, but crying and crying to give Richard his life…

This situation was far beyond what Richard expected. After inquiring, Richard learned that the Han officers in the Sermu People’s Servant Army were actually excluded Han in Gaoxiang County, or Han soldiers at the bottom who knew some characters were quickly promoted. Coming up.

It can be said that the loyalty of the Han officers of the Sermuen Servant Army to the government is not comparable to that of the county soldiers. Many of them even hate the corruption of the Gaoxiang county government and the official behavior of suppressing dissidents!

If it is a Han officer who has a way out, who wants to take a group of lusty people out to fight with Lupi all day?

In fact, the fact that the Sermu Army of Semu collapsed so quickly is also related to the leading role of these Han officers who are greedy for life and fear of death.

After Richard discovered that there was a fundamental difference between the Han officers of these Semu servants and the county soldiers, he simply accepted their allegiance and asked them to continue to command the more than 2,000 Semu servants!

The Semu Servant Army is a military organization after all. If there were no officers, it would be a pity that it would be reduced to the same peasant armed as the Semu strong men.

So, Richard used the waste. At least on the surface, these Han officers are very tame to themselves, and the flattering is very loud…

Over these two thousand men and soldiers, Richard has given him a very competent title-Pioneer Battalion.

‘S name sounds like an elite division. Since ancient times, pioneers have often represented elites. In fact, it means literally. When encountering battles, they must be the first to come up…

The chief officer of the Pioneer Camp, Richard, was appointed as the battalion commander in accordance with the habits of later generations, meaning the commander of a battalion.

By the same token, Han Li of the Ming army camp was also the battalion commander. Because the guilty camp was a sinner’s army, there was no official position and was subject to the Ming army’s restraint.

Now that Richard has turned against the court, it is not easy to continue to use the military system of the Tang Dynasty. UU reading www.uukanshu.com simply arranges according to his own habits and preferences. Anyway, his own troops are what he said, no one dares to refute!

Although the commander of the Pioneer Battalion is one level lower than the commander of the Ming Barracks Han Li, it is not a subordinate relationship. The Pioneer Battalion is directly responsible to Richard. The commander of the Pioneer Battalion is a Han lieutenant of the Semu Servant Army personally selected by Richard. , Called Xiahou Yucheng.

‘S name sounds compelling, and I seem to be upright!

National character face, tall and straight figure, just from the appearance, the first impression that gives people is the feeling of integrity and determination, and he is born to be a decent figure.

It is estimated that the other party can be an official to a lieutenant at a young age, which is also related to this picture…

Lieutenant 　　 is the highest military position in the Sermon Army!

Further up is the inspector Long Liguo who governs the entire army of Semu servants!

Richard chose this Xiahou Yucheng as the battalion commander of the Pioneer Battalion, not only because he was more pleasing to the eye because of his righteousness, nor was it because the opponent had a higher official position and a certain command ability, mainly because this Xiahou Yucheng was the first to kneel to Richard Begging for mercy, the “loyal and righteous man” who kept saying that he would do his best for Richard!

Richard knew very well what kind of force the Pioneer Battalion was. This kind of force was placed in the hands of people who were bold and daring to fight, and Richard was really worried.

But if it is a timid person who is also very knowledgeable about current affairs, Richard will feel relieved.

And Richard asked the soldiers of the Ming army camp. At that time, Xia Hou Yucheng, who looked like a decent figure at the time, was chased by the Ming army Qingqi. In order to save his life, he took his soldiers to surrender without making any resistance…

At that time, the Semu servants had no county soldiers to supervise the war, so this Xiahou Yucheng surrendered very simply!

In the eyes of Richard, being obedient is far more important than being brave!
