Chapter 483 Meeting

"Zilong, after the three of you have rectified the county soldiers in various places, you will start to strengthen the training. I will send Lu Kuang, Su Huan, and Gao Xiang to assist you. After three months, all the county soldiers who do not meet the standards Abolished!"

Zhao Yun took a step forward and asked respectfully, "Dare to ask my lord, what is the specific standard?"

"Ordinary county soldiers have the lowest rank of four!"

"Fourth order?"

Several people in the hall couldn't help but exclaimed.

"My lord, isn't the fourth-order requirement a bit high..."

Liu Yi was a little puzzled. Shang Ji had never discussed with him the request for promotion to the county soldiers before.

"The lowest rank is fourth! From now on, this is the minimum strength standard of our army's regular army! Regardless of whether it is Liaodong or Xinfuzhou County, soldiers who are lower than rank four will immediately retire from active duty and become informal township warriors!"

After half a year of fighting abroad, Shang Ji felt more and more the truth that the number of soldiers is not enough!

In reality, there is still the possibility that an army with scumbag combat effectiveness such as rogue bandits can defeat an elite army by relying on crowd tactics. However, in the war, the average rank of soldiers differs by more than two ranks. Even if there is a ten times advantage in troops, it is in vain!

Of course, the premise of this discussion is that encounters in the wild, special circumstances such as city defense and ambushes are not counted!

Just like Shang Ji's previous conquest of the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army who led a thousand black armored black knights to charge straight at ten thousand people could destroy the opponent with minimal casualties in a short period of time.

I didn't see that Zhang Jiao, who started out with the tactics of crowds, began to streamline his troops and streamline his administration. Has he changed to the route of elite troops?

Of course, Shang Ji's fourth-order requirement was not raised by brainstorming.

Now Shang Ji is in charge of more than ten drawings for the transformation of special barracks. Shang Ji plans to repair all the barracks in the four giant cities of Pingzhou, and then remodel them.

According to the standards of four in Xiangping, two in Leyang, two in Goguryeo, and one in Changli, special barracks were built.

The barracks under the giant city should not be used in non-emergency times, and the soldiers should be selected from high-level soldiers in special barracks.

The giant barracks has a chance to directly train Tier 4 soldiers, plus many bonuses such as titles, characteristics, special buildings, special barracks, etc., there is a high probability of directly training Tier 4 soldiers!

Even if some of them are still unqualified in the end, another wave of intensive assault training will at least ensure that more than 80% of the soldiers appearing on the field will be Tier 4!

Under such circumstances, Shang Ji can no longer bear the status quo that there are still millions of third-tier soldiers under his command!

If it wasn't for the sake of avoiding waste and turmoil, Shang Ji even wanted to disband all the currently unqualified county soldiers, and then replace them with soldiers from high-level special barracks.

"My lord, since this is the case, do the standards of the main soldiers also need to be raised? Also, do the standards of generals at all levels need to be adjusted again?"

As a military officer, Liu Yi immediately asked this question.

"Of course, the standard of the main fighters has been raised to the lowest level five! The specific ratio of soldiers and guards, I ask my brother to make specific suggestions after inspection! As for the requirements of the generals?" The tense generals continued: "The Chief of the Guards, the Chief of the Tun, the Chief of the Boss, the Marquis, the Sima, and the Sima of the other Ministry are respectively junior, intermediate, senior, third-rate, second-rate, and first-rate generals! Twenty-two big cities The county lieutenant has to be a first-class peak for the last time."

"As for the Zhanjun, all Sima and below are promoted to one level. The Sima of Biebu is the last one to ask for the first-class peak. The captain must be a super first-class military general. The title captain (those who were rewarded before) is exempted from assessment if the strength is at the level of the top general. Those who fail to meet the standard must outperform one of the four generals in order to perform their duties normally."

"The mediocre and the incompetent will go up. This time, brother must be dealt with fairly, and no one is allowed to violate the rules!"

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

The four tigers, leopards, wolves, and eagles are Shang Ji's warriors. Although they don't have title bonuses, they are not weak because of Shang Ji's glory. At least they are much stronger than ordinary super-class generals. However, Su Huan and the others followed Shang Ji to fight north and south,

It's no longer the weak chicken it used to be.

Now they are considered to be ranked among the historical military generals. I dare not say that they are in the top 100, but the top 300 is still no problem. Among them, the stronger Yang Cheng, Su Huan, Guo Biao and others have at least 80% chance of winning against tigers, leopards, wolves and eagles, and the others are also between 50 and 50! This assessment requirement is not too strict.

The small changes in the crowd naturally did not escape Shang Ji's eyes, and he sneered and said: "I tell you a good news, I will fight for days, I have a new understanding of martial arts, and I will make a breakthrough soon!"

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and it was only after a while that Su Huan, Lu Kuang and others said with bitter faces: "The last general congratulates the lord!"

The strength of the Martial God Brander is closely related to Shang Ji. Once Shang Ji breaks through, the strength of the four tigers, leopards, wolves, and eagles will also soar, and the difficulty of the assessment will soar!

On the contrary, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other top historical military generals who did not need to participate in the assessment glanced at Shang Ji in surprise. If I remember correctly, Shang Ji seems to have just advanced to the super-first-class peak not long ago. How could he advance so quickly?

Being watched by several top military generals, Shang Ji's face remained unchanged, no one could see that he was talking nonsense!

Yes, Shang Ji lied, he has only been promoted to the top of the super class for a month, how could he be promoted to the top historical military general so quickly? This is the most difficult hurdle for a military commander, let alone being stuck for a year or so, it is not uncommon to be stuck for a lifetime!

In fact, according to the experience of Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other top historical generals, Shang Ji has to burn his incense if he can advance to the top generals within one year.

However, this does not affect Shang Ji to put pressure on his generals and increase the sense of urgency!

"The general understands that I will publish the latest assessment requirements to the entire army, and all unqualified soldiers will be removed after three months! Generals will be demoted and useless!"

Liu Yi nodded, and took over the big trouble for Shang Ji.

"Okay, that's all about the military affairs in general, and the details will be introduced at the military meeting in the future. Let's talk about the development of Pingzhou next!"

"Hong Zhu, come and introduce the general situation of Pingzhou to everyone!"

Deng Yan took a breath, stood up and said, "My colleagues, according to our statistics in recent days, the situation in Pingzhou is very pessimistic!"

"As of now, Pingzhou has more than 64.3 million people. The population is less than half of the average prosperous county in the mainland, and Pingzhou can only produce 680 million shi every year, with a gap of 200 million shi!

According to what the lord said, more than 16 million people will migrate to Pingzhou in the next few months, and our food shortage is expected to expand to more than 500 million shi! This requires us to prepare early! Fortunately, we have a large amount of uncultivated land that can be cultivated by immigrants. On the premise of ensuring that there are no major wars and stable capital investment, the food crisis is expected to be resolved within three years. But the first two years must have a huge amount of food support. "

"Pingzhou's annual fiscal revenue is 67 million gold, but the expenditure is as high as 90 million gold, and the fiscal deficit exceeds 20 million! In the future, there will be huge investments in population relocation, military and political rectification, and production development. The specific fiscal deficit It will be impossible to calculate!"

"According to statistics, Pingzhou has 2,100 middle and low-level private schools, 260 high-level private schools, 120 low-level academies, 21 intermediate-level academies, and zero high-level and above schools. There is an abnormal shortage of culture and education! "

"In terms of medical care, there are 4,000 medical clinics at all levels, and the number of medical clinics per 10,000 people is less than one-fifth of that in the mainland, and most of them are concentrated in cities!"

………………………

Deng Yan talked for half an hour, involving all aspects of Pingzhou, but basically it was seriously behind the average level, and everyone's face became more and more ugly.

"Of course, we are not useless. We are the blessings of the Wuhuan people. We are far ahead of the mainland in terms of animal husbandry. A large amount of beef and mutton has filled part of the food gap in disguise, but this cannot solve our food crisis."

"However, generally speaking, apart from being far ahead in animal husbandry and having a slight advantage in the smelting industry, Pingzhou lags behind the mainland in terms of medical care, culture, education, economy, and agricultural planting!"
