Du Qi said in a low voice, "The current army is filled with the old and the young. The old and the weak are all mixed together. Our combat power is severely lacking. So, I will make some adjustments to the army. You don't have to worry. Those who are not old enough will be kicked out of the fighting force.
"The so-called fighting force is responsible for fighting wars.
"Those who are not in the fighting force are responsible for logistics, transporting food, polishing weapons, building food, repairing bridges, paving roads, and so on. These are relatively easy tasks.
"This is my adjustment."
Du Qi's expression was serious. "So, those who are below 18 years old and above 40 years old, step forward. The rest will stay in the army. "
After the order was given, a few soldiers stepped forward.
When Du Qi saw this, he frowned.
This was because at a glance, there were still many elderly people or young children left behind among the soldiers. This clearly did not meet the requirements.
Du Qi continued, "Be self-aware. Don't wait for me to make the arrangements. Once I make the arrangements, you will not be in charge of logistics. You will be kicked out of the army.
"In my army, there is only one word — Obey!
"Those who don't obey are not soldiers. They do not deserve to stay in the army.
"Hurry up. Don't dawdle."
Du Qi's expression gradually became serious. Because Du Qi's tone had become stern, many of the officers and soldiers in the army, or those who were not old enough, began to stand up, not daring to delay any longer.
This included Yan San's subordinates as well.
Everyone started to adjust.
In a short time, everyone finished adjusting. They were now divided into two groups.
The old and weak group looked old and weak. They did not have any combat power at all. As for the young and strong group, although there were many weak and thin people, they were all young and strong.
As long as they were fed later, everything would not be a problem.
Du Qi nodded. He was slightly satisfied. At least for now, it was not bad.
At first glance, it seemed a little interesting.
However, Du Qi did a rough scan. There were at least 1,000 old and weak people who stepped forward. They made up one-third of the army. As for the young and strong people, there were about 2,000 of them. It was not a large number.
All in all, it was enough for Fushan County.
Du Qi was very satisfied with the adjustments, he immediately ordered: "Su Hao, this is the adjustment of the army. Next, the young Xu Lie will be the fighting force of the army, and the rest will be logistics. "
"Yes!"
Su Hao immediately replied.
To Su Hao, this was not something difficult.
Du Qi's eyes were sharp as he continued, "From today onwards, the meals of the army will be changed. There were three meals a day, morning, noon, and night. She could not skimp on the food. In addition, there must be meat at noon and at night. How could the people in the army gain strength if they did not eat meat? As for the money, I will negotiate with County Magistrate Meng. "
"Yes!"
Su Hao agreed excitedly.
For Su Hao, he felt that the opportunity had come.
This was because Du Qi valued the military.
As long as the army was valued, then the development of the army would be rapid, and the strength of the army would increase.
Du Qi continued: "The formation has been rearranged. Then, I will say one more thing. Let me talk about the treatment of the soldiers. The pay that was given just now was based on the previous pay, and a portion of it was given as compensation. However, such pay does not exist here, because it is too low. "
"Soldiers protect the country and the safety of everyone."
"You cannot be mistreated."
"You are the heroes of Fushan County, and also the protectors of Fushan County. Therefore, you should have a good life, and you should be able to receive the corresponding treatment. "
Du Qi's voice was eloquent and confident, and it was powerful and resonating.
His words touched the hearts of many soldiers.
In the eyes of many, soldiers were bumpkins, people who fought wars. They were even cannon fodder sent to die on the battlefield. But with Du Qi here, Du Qi said some heartwarming words, making everyone extremely emotional.
Du Qi continued: "As for the treatment of the soldiers in the army, the soldiers in the battle formation will receive two taels of silver per month. The normal soldiers in the logistics formation will receive one tael of silver per month. As for the management personnel, I will make other changes. "
Wow!
All the soldiers started discussing.
Their faces were filled with shock.
The soldiers in charge of the battle formation would receive two taels of silver, and the soldiers in charge of logistics would receive one tael of silver.
This was an extremely high treatment!
One must know that when they were in the army, they would be able to fill their stomachs and receive some extra money. All of them were extremely excited. Now that Du Qi had directly made an adjustment, it was shocking.
Yan Three was even more shocked.
He stood in the battle formation and looked at the excited soldiers around him. He looked at the soldiers from the Great Barren Mountain that used to belong to him. These people were all discussing the pay.
At this moment, Yan Three shook his head.
Du Qi was too amazing.
Just the pay alone made everyone stand on Du Qi's side. To put it bluntly, if Yan Three asked the bandits from the Great Barren Mountain to rebel again, they would not rebel with him. Instead, they would kill him to claim the credit.
Who would be willing to be bandits if they could not survive?
Du Qi's treatment was too good.
Similarly, many of Xu Lie's soldiers were excited as well. However, some of them felt regretful. This was because the treatment given to the battle formation was twice as good as theirs.
The difference was huge.
When Meng Jiu You heard Du Qi's arrangement, he was not worried at all. Instead, he was even more motivated.
He could see Du Qi's intention.
He wanted to improve the army. He wanted the army to be loyal to him before he could fight outside.
From Meng Jiu You's point of view, everything Du Qi did was to prepare for the upcoming battle. That was why he increased the treatment of the soldiers. Therefore, he did not think much of it.
Du Qi allowed the soldiers to continue discussing.
After a while, the voices gradually died down. Although there were still many people discussing, it was not as loud as before.
"Silence!"
Du Qi shouted once more.
All the soldiers stopped talking. When they looked at Du Qi, their gazes changed once more.
They were even more convinced.
Not only because Du Qi treated them as humans, but he also gave them good treatment.
Du Qi continued to talk about other matters. After explaining the general direction, Du Qi asked Su Hao to reorganize the army with the current members.
While Su Hao was reorganizing, Meng Jiu You came to Du Qi's side and said, "Young Master, how should we arrange for Yan San? This person is quite brave. If we don't arrange anything and just let him be a soldier, it is not appropriate. If we arrange for him to be the general of the army, we are worried that he will rebel. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Yan San has some ability and can be put in an important position. The reason why he can succeed is not because he is strong. It is because the commoners can't survive anymore. As long as the commoners have a way to survive and live well, who would be willing to rebel? The treatment given to him in the army is enough to cut off his path of retreat. So, don't worry and use him. "
"Yes!"
Meng Jiu You immediately agreed.
With Du Qi's words, Du Qi felt more confident.
