Chapter 52: Point to Point "How far is the supplementary training of the Seventh Army?"
When everyone had laughed enough, Zhu Chongjiu lightly knocked on the desk and started the next topic.
"My Lord, four of the six combat brigades of the Seventh Army have been reorganized.
Some of the officers above the company level have passed the short-term training in the martial arts hall and returned to their old positions.
The other part have been transferred to training auxiliary positions after being promoted.
Soldier.
There are about thirty vacancies for first-level officers in the company. , all supplemented by students from the Jiangwu Hall who participated in the Battle of Jiangwan.
They have all seen blood, and their grades in school are also quite good.
Their future will be very good in the end."
Commander of the Seventh Army, formerly independent outside Wang Kerou, the general manager of Zhenjiang, stood up and reported loudly.
Because he was optimistic about the future of the Grand Controller's Mansion, he reorganized the Seventh Legion very cooperatively.
As a result, after the reorganization, the entire legion had a completely new look.
Now that they are pulled out, it is no problem to fight against an equal number of Yuan troops, even if they are one against three.
"Very good."
Zhu Chongjiu nodded, and then continued to ask loudly, "Where are the auxiliary troops?
How is the replenishment of the auxiliary brigades?"
"Lord, please send me auxiliary troops.
There is a huge shortage of auxiliary troops."
Wang Kerou's face turned red and her expression instantly became very awkward.
"Well" Zhu Chongjiu frowned slightly and quickly turned his eyes to Liu Ziyun.
There are already several "mountains" within the General Manager's Mansion, and he knows this very well.
But at the moment, he can't find a good solution.
He can only use precautions to avoid delays in official affairs due to private fights between the mountains.
"Lord, this is not the result of the military bureau's failure to do its best."
Liu Ziyun trembled inwardly when he saw it, and quickly stood up to defend himself, "Yes, the situation has changed too much from previous years."
"What's the change?"
Zhu Chongjiu looked at him again and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible.
"Yes, it's because there are fewer and fewer refugees.
Even if there are, they are all recruited by the workshops under the Work Bureau and Huaiyang merchants.
Very few people are willing to serve as auxiliary soldiers."
Liu Ziyun raised his head and explained with a blushing neck. , "Refugees have returned to their hometowns in large numbers since the policy of granting farmland was introduced last year.
From last spring to this year, our Huaiyang region has not been affected by war for a year and a half.
God has also given us face and the weather has been smooth, so we have been returning home for hundreds of years."
The people have basically settled down.
Those who choose to stay in the city will either work in a business or in a workshop.
No matter how unlucky they are, they can still find hard work in building roads and digging mountains.
Calculated, every day No matter how low the monthly salary is, it will not be less than a regular salary.
If you are an auxiliary soldier, you will not only have to train while working in the fields, but the monthly salary will be no less than a regular salary.
Therefore, the number of people willing to be an auxiliary soldier has dropped significantly. ” "Yes."
Zhu Chongjiu was slightly startled when he heard this, and his eyes quickly glanced at the faces of Yu Changlin, the head of the household bureau, Li Mubai, the deputy chief, and Huang Laowai, the head of the work bureau.
There was a burst of noisy discussion everywhere.
Almost everyone who has come step by step from Xuzhou to today is filled with emotion.
It has only been a few years, and no one wants to be an auxiliary soldier anymore.
Think about when I expanded my army in Huai'an, hundreds of thousands of people broke their heads and tried to get in.
Not to mention being paid as an auxiliary soldier, just providing two square meals and everyone would be satisfied Yu Changlin, Li Mubai and others stood up one after another and explained: "My lord, the household bureau has discussed with the military bureau about improving the treatment of auxiliary soldiers.

But the problem mainly lies in two aspects.
First, After the treatment of auxiliary soldiers was improved, the treatment of combat soldiers Secondly, if we raise the salary together, we have more than 120,000 soldiers in Huaiyang, and the number of auxiliary soldiers is similar to that of the soldiers.
The military pay of more than 200,000 people will change.
It’s really not a simple matter that can’t be solved overnight.”
"The workshops now recruit craftsmen who are required to have a certain skill.
Unless they are apprentices, the wages cannot be lower than the monthly salary.
Otherwise, rice is expensive in Yangzhou, and the craftsmen will have to find another way to make a living."
Huang Laowai is far better than Yu Changlin and Li Mubai spoke calmly and confidently.
In his mind, the idea that good men should not be soldiers is deeply ingrained.
Although his youngest son also joined the army step by step before reaching the position of heavy artillery brigade commander.
But in the eyes of a father, his son is never the same as other people's sons.
Therefore, he insisted that the current salary that soldiers can get is one and a half per month, which is already an extremely high salary.
They don't even have to fight, they can just help carry equipment and carry the wounded, and they shouldn't be given too much.
"Is there any way to solve it?"
Zhu Chongjiu obviously didn't want to hear the people arguing with each other, he frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Lord, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge."
Yu Changlin, Li Mubai and Huang Laowai all said in unison.
If they are not in their position and do not seek political advice, the person in trouble is Liu Ziyun, the director of the military bureau, and they don't want to worry about that.
"The general believes that there are two solutions."
Liu Ziyun did not expect to shirk the responsibility to others.
After explaining the cause of the matter, he began to give solutions, "One is to abolish the previous recruitment system and restore prosperity.
The imperial military system in the Tang Dynasty allowed the military to Older men are required to join the army for training at a fixed time every year.
However, there is a problem with this method, which is whether the workers in workshops and shops are included in the recruitment.
Otherwise, only farmers will join the army, which will only make the number of soldiers more and more difficult.
The more unpopular you are, the more likely you are to repeat the mistakes of the Song Dynasty.”
"Forget it, let's talk about the second method."
Zhu Chongjiu thought for a while and shook his head without asking anyone for advice.
Changing the recruitment system to forced conscription may seem to solve the problem, but in fact, the morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers will inevitably be greatly affected.
It is seriously inconsistent with his policy of elite troops, and does not agree with his original intention of giving local people a stable life.
"Another way is to change the military system and completely separate the auxiliary troops from each legion.
They are usually trained and managed by the military bureau, and in wartime, auxiliary troops are assigned to each legion according to battlefield needs.
This move can, on the one hand, allow each legion to , no longer deploying auxiliary troops on a one-to-one basis.
The auxiliary soldiers can also be released from work and receive training all the time.
In this way, their regular monthly salary will not be too low.
Secondly, the auxiliary soldiers will be trained more carefully, and they can be deployed globally when needed by each legion."
He took a deep breath and continued speaking loudly.
He is the right deputy governor of the Privy Council and the director of the Procuratorate and Military Bureau.
Although he was not authorized to open a palace or build a tooth like Xu Da, his status was the first among Huaiyang generals.
But he, the leader of the generals, had never led an army alone to fight.
Therefore, if you want to maintain your position, you must come up with something different.
This thing is a change in the military system.
It completely disrupts the original system where combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers are dispatched by the same person, making it easier for the generals to be responsible for commanding the troops.
At the same time, it also further weakens the possibility of anyone relying on their own troops.
If he can do it, even if he resigns next month, he, as the head of the military bureau, will still be able to have a place in the Lingyan Pavilion of the new dynasty.
