For Lied, the most comfortable time is when no one is watching.
Taking advantage of the period when Li Yi was fighting with the princes of Yunyang, Yuxi City could grow comfortably. Receiving a large number of people from Yunyang is just the beginning. With the gradual improvement of combat effectiveness, the sphere of influence of Yuxi City will further expand. Successively took down eleven cities including Zhujian City, Black Steel City and Blast Furnace City, enclosing a large amount of land, so that the people of Yunyang who came to seek refuge could have a shelter.
During this period of time, the expansion of the army was completed quietly under the leadership of Fang Shisan, and there were no earth-shattering moves. Although many people were recruited, the army training in Yuxi City was as low-key as ever. As a result, many people who follow the trend of Yuxi City feel that they still want to settle down in a corner, and do not plan to have further development.
Only the senior officials of Yuxi City knew that they were just waiting.
Many city lords and nobles in Yunyang think that fighting a war is a very simple matter. Recruit some people, each of them sends out some weapons, and then they can go to the battlefield. Anyway, if you win the battle, you can earn blood, and it doesn't matter if you lose, just recruit another batch to top it up, and you can save food.
Isn't there so many disaster victims making trouble every year? Let them all go to the battlefield, and they will be quiet when they die.
Yuxi City was just the opposite. They cared about manpower second to none. Even light infantry had to wait until they were fully equipped before they could go to the battlefield. It is impossible for all the soldiers in the army to know each other well, but taking the squad as a unit, ten people in a squad must trust each other. Officers at all levels from top to bottom must have a certain understanding of the military formation, so Yuxi City will not produce that kind of instant army, but once the army training in Yuxi City is formed, it will definitely stabilize the vast majority of the world army.
Fang Shisan's military training has always been methodical, and the plan of using the old to lead the new has also been arranged very smoothly.
The soldiers who join Yuxi City rarely steal or play tricks, because Yuxi City's judgment on ability and attitude is very good: if you are injured during training, or you find that you really can't complete the training, you can choose to quit. After quitting, you still have the citizenship of Yuxi City, and you can live in the territory of Yuxi City. As long as you work hard, you can continue to enjoy the various benefits of Yuxi City.
However, if the attitude is not correct, such as violating military regulations and disciplines, embezzling military pay, stealing rape and playing tricks during training, etc., once caught, it will be directly recorded on the dishonest list of Yuxi City. If the circumstances are serious, you will be expelled from Yuxi City or directly entered Prison for trial. In fact, just being expelled from Yuxi City is already very difficult for them to accept. Not only will they lose all the benefits here, but they will also become the laughing stock of all relatives and friends.
Inevitably, some of the 50,000 people couldn't adapt to the high-intensity training. Most of these people voluntarily quit and chose other jobs. Only a few people were kicked out directly because of their luck. These vacated positions will soon be filled by new recruits. After all, there are not a few people who want to join the army.
The only regret is that Lu Ge, the former commander of the Xuanjia Battalion, chose to resign at this point in time.
Lid met him in person, and Luge also said frankly to Lid:
"My lord, I'm a rough person, so I won't say too many hypocritical things. When you first arrived in Yuxi City, to be honest, I didn't expect you to achieve what you are today. At that time, I was just doing things for others with money. Mentality. But then I fought side by side with the brothers in Yuxi City and went through life and death several times. I really regarded myself as a general of Yuxi City and a member of the army."
"When Mrs. Fang Shisan came to Yuxi City, I handed over the power to her because I knew that although she killed many of our brothers before, she can keep more brothers alive in the future. This time the army expansion It's the same, with my status, it is reasonable to say that if I want to be promoted to a teacher, I must have at least 10,000 people under my command. But I don't think I have this ability, and I can't do well when I get promoted to that position. Done."
Luge cupped his hands at Lied:
"It's been two years since I joined the army. Thank you, Lord City Master. It allowed me to meet so many life-and-death friends, and finally made some progress in my sword skills. I don't know if Lord City Master still remembers that I practiced swords with you. It's for revenge. If I can come back alive, if the army still needs me, then I will work hard for the city lord again."
Lide also showed a bit of a wry smile on his face, and asked:
"Do you have to do it yourself?"
Luge nodded solemnly:
"I made an oath. A man lives in the world, and if he has a grudge or a grudge, he must come by himself."
Lid sighed, patted Luge on the shoulder, and said:
"Then... I wish you prosperous martial arts."
When Luge learned the knife from Lide, he said that he was doing it for revenge, but Lide didn't ask who his enemy was. With Luge's current state, although he can't be said to be in the world, he still has no problem facing ordinary masters. Moreover, his years in the army made him more stable. Lide believed that he would not do anything he was not sure about.
When he practiced for him, Yuanwang Dongying Battalion Commander Selaginella also drank a lot of wine, with a sad face on his face. Selaginella was born in a military family, so it is natural to see that Luge's talent in the army is limited, but he has trusted the calm and resolute Luge in fighting side by side several times. It is also a very regrettable thing for Selaginella that Lu Ge left on his own initiative.
"Come back soon after taking revenge, I'm still waiting to go to the battlefield with you to kill the enemy. Don't make us wait too long,"
Lugar nodded.
The military doesn't shut down because someone leaves, everything goes on.
Before you know it, summer is here. The sun is gradually becoming dazzling, the air is filled with layers of heat waves, and the sound of cicadas can be heard every morning. The pressure on Fang Shisan's side eased a lot, and Li De began to help He Yue with some government affairs. The two often worked side by side until very late, and when they were tired, they leaned on each other's shoulders to rest for a while.
By early June, things finally settled down.
Yuxi City has further radiated its industrial system outwards. Mozu farms have gradually retreated from the original pillar industries to the second line, and the chemical industry and energy technology have become new sunrise industries. It's a pity that even Yuxi City, which has already developed its productivity, cannot popularize education and medical care immediately after the city is conquered. Therefore, it is as difficult to enter Yuxi University as it is to enter the army. Not only is it required to stay and work in Yuxi City after graduation, but also there is a certain ranking mechanism within the school, especially some difficult subjects have begun to implement elite education.
Fortunately, there is no rush to cultivate talents. For many industries, as long as you know simple principles, you can participate in it.
Yuxi City is like a machine running at high speed. When people and land were seriously insufficient, it once created all kinds of miracles. Now that this machine has more manpower and material resources as support, the scale has further expanded, and when it continues to rotate, it already has a vague feeling of being unstoppable.
