Xiao Yu looked at the neat and solemn 10,000 troops in front of him, and nodded secretly in his heart. Long Hui's ability to train soldiers is indeed good. After all, he is also the commander who has commanded the soldiers and fought on the battlefield for many years.
However, now that there are soldiers, there are still many problems plaguing the Lion King.
"Young master, although these soldiers are all trained by me to become qualified soldiers, they have very few commanders. The Lion King's territory is sparsely populated. There is only the Xiao family, an aristocratic family, so it is difficult to find officers. .”
Long Hui complained to Xiao Yu about the lack of commander talents.
In this world, if you want to become an officer, you must be a nobleman. Civilians are not allowed to be officers. At most, you can only be a small corps leader. Thousands of years of tradition.
During the First World War, the powerful countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom still kept this tradition. It was not until World War II that there was an urgent need for a large number of talents, and the requirements for this aspect were lowered.
It was at that time that Rommel rose because of the needs of the situation. Otherwise, Rommel was not an aristocrat, and he would not have become the commander-in-chief at all.
In this world, traditions in this regard are still strict.
Xiao Yu looked at these soldiers and knew in his heart that if there is no qualified commander, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they will be useless. When the Soviet Union invaded Finland, such a powerful country attacked such a small country, resulting in more than 400,000 casualties, while Finland only lost 20,000 casualties. One of the big reasons is that the generals were almost wiped out during the Great Purge. The army, good weapons, are no good.
"Establish a military academy." Xiao Yu suddenly said this.
"Military academy?" Long Hui was slightly taken aback. There are knight academies and magician academies in this world, but there is no school dedicated to training military officers.
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "That's right, instead of training powerful knights like the Knight Academy, it specializes in training commanders who command battles. They may not have strong force, but if they have a smart mind and excellent commanding ability , can also become an officer.”
Long Hui frowned fiercely, which was completely beyond his comprehension. On this continent, there seems to have never been such a military academy dedicated to training commanders. They are generally knight academies, which teach powerful martial arts, as well as knight rules, and some military common sense.
And because this era is the era of cold weapons, it generally pays more attention to the degree of force of the knights, and does not pay much attention to command.
Sometimes, a powerful knight leading the charge can decide the battle situation. For example, a general like Xiang Yu, with absolute bravery and some resourcefulness, can win every battle.
A commander who has no military force but has no brains is unacceptable in this world.
"However, there are not many children of noble blood in our territory, and we can't recruit anyone." Long Hui said in a difficult way. Although many people have migrated from the Lion King Territory, they all belong to the common people and there are no nobles.
Any noble has their arrogance. It is difficult for them to migrate to such a remote and weak territory as the Lion King Territory.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "Temporarily select a group of civilian soldiers who are outstanding in combat and train them to be low-level commanders and then high-level commanders. I'll think of a way."
Now Xiao Yu doesn't dare to say that the children of ordinary people can become high-ranking commanders immediately. If he says it, Long Hui probably will be anxious with him immediately.
A commander like Long Hui's family has been knights and commanders for generations. The glory of nobles and the arrogance of knights have always made them look down on commoners.
If all of a sudden, those common people he usually met in high places had the opportunity to become an equal existence like him, it would be absolutely unbearable for him.
Xiao Yu also understands this feeling. Nobles and commoners are always in opposition. It is impossible for any noble to allow commoners to become nobles casually.
After Long Hui heard this, although he felt that it would be inappropriate for civilians to be commanders, even if they were only low-level ones, it seemed that there was no good way to do it now. Anyway, it was just to let them become corporal leaders, ten-man commanders, and so on. The commander cannot allow it.
Xiao Yu gave Long Hui's 10,000 troops a brand-new organization, using the old Mongolian system of ten, hundred, and thousand commanders.
In this way, each team has a clear hierarchy, and when fighting, orders can be executed as quickly as possible.
Therefore, under Xiao Yu's order, Long Hui began to select some ordinary soldiers who were brave in combat and had meritorious service as low-level commanders to take command.
It's easy to say that the head of ten people can say that the children of common people can, but the head of a hundred people is already a big official title, so Long Hui can't accept that a commoner has such great power.
Therefore, for the time being, there will be no commanders of hundreds and commanders of thousands. Wait until there are noble children, and now there are only ten commanders. Xiao Yu transferred his fourth sister-in-law Xuesha to assist Long Hui, as the second military figure in the territory. No way, there is really no one.
Then, Xiao Yu asked Long Hui if there were any good generals in some nearby territories or principalities, and tried to find a way to dig them over.
Long Hui said: "Every territory and principality must have some good generals, but they are generally very loyal to the territory and will not be easily poached."
Xiao Yu took a sip of red wine, narrowed his eyes, and said, "As long as you swing the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug."
Therefore, Xiao Yu asked Long Hui to collect the records of good generals in some nearby territories, and then prepared to recruit talents.
"Fuck, what is the most expensive thing in the 21st century? Talent." Xiao Yu imitated Uncle Li's tone, planning how to recruit talents on a large scale.
In fact, not only military talents, but now the Lion King leader lacks any talents. All administrative work is basically handled by the old housekeeper alone. He doesn't go to bed until midnight every day. Xiao Yu feels distressed when he sees it.
However, without the right manpower, this is the only way to go.
With a big wave of Xiao Yu's hand, she called her second sister-in-law Xuehan over, and asked her to help Xiao Hong manage the internal affairs together, and all clauses that women were not allowed to participate in politics were all voided.
After observing for a period of time, Xiao Yu discovered that the second sister-in-law Xuehan did have a set of skills in management. Xiao Yu told her some of the content of Yu Shiwei's lecture, and Xuehan suddenly realized that she was more proficient in management. .
In this case, Xiao Hong also shared a lot of pressure, and because Xue Han is not an outsider and belongs to the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, so Xiao Hong has nothing to say about it.
Sister-in-law Qi Yin usually manages some trivial matters in the family. Xiao Yu directly asked Qi Yin to take charge of some financial and accounting situations in the family, and then shared part of the pressure with the old housekeeper Xiao Hong.
In this case, Xiao Hong only needs to check whether Qi Yin's work is appropriate, and help correct any omissions.
Xiao Yu now feels that the Lion King collar is a bit like a female general of the Yang family.
The third sister-in-law, Kamina, saw that everyone had a job, and she was unwilling to be lonely. She ran to find Xiao Yu with Xiwen, and wanted to do something.
Xiao Yu then asked the two of them to assist Qi Yin and manage the internal affairs of the family well.
After sorting out the administrative and military affairs of the territory, Xiao Yu also felt that his territory was gradually becoming more formal, and then he wondered whether he should follow the recruitment method of the Warring States period and post a few recruitment lists to recruit some talent.
But now the territory really has nothing to attract people, and it is estimated that no one will come if it is posted, so we should wait for Long Hui to find some generals from other territories, and then dig a few over first.
On the other hand, Xiao Yu also sent out scouts to inquire about the movements of those bandits, to see when they were planning to attack, so as to prepare for it.
After being busy for ten consecutive days, Long Hui reported a news that a general of the Duke of Wei nearby was excluded and might be recruited.
As for this general, Xiao Yu actually knew about it. He used to know this general's son when he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled in Huicheng, the capital of the Principality of Wei.
However, this general's son is much better than Xiao Yu. He is a student of the Knight Academy. He went home to visit his relatives, but when he met Xiao Yu and his gang of dudes, they got into an argument and beat them up.
"Mu Huali, okay, I'll accept this person."
Xiao Yu said with a smile.
