Chapter 30 Negotiable Expansion

The army is now stationed on an open flat ground. Not far ahead is a small river. The river is not wide, the river is not deep, and the water is clear. Many soldiers ran to the river at this time, but they were quickly stopped by Liu Xia.

After all, Liu Xia is from the 21st century. She knows more about bacteria and viruses than today. Even if nature was not seriously polluted at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a lot of bacteria in the river. Liu Xia and she doesn't want her soldiers to die on the battlefield, but Eat and drink casually, and die of illness.

The place where Liu Xia is now is obviously a small village, but the houses in this village are now burned, and there is only a pile of residual ashes on the ground. As for where people have gone, Liu Xia thinks that the possibility of living is not very high.

There is also a stone bridge built by these people on the river, and there are many weeping willows around the river. The ground is overgrown with weeds and no smoke.

"The general has an order to camp on the spot, and the logistics team boils hot water. All of them must drink hot water. They are not allowed to drink hot water with the river."

"The general has an order that no one is allowed to defecate anywhere and go to the designated place to solve the problem!"

"The general has an order, and the second team will spread around and start to detect!"

............

"I don't know why the general gave the order not to the river? I look at the river very clear, and this is still living water. There should be no big problem! Is there poison in the river? Chen Liu didn't know what kind of psychology. After listening to Liu Xia's order, he walked to Liu Xia's side and began to ask Liu Xia.

At this time, Liu Xia was sitting on a stone block under the weeping willows by the river, standing behind Bian Yujing. At this time, Bian Yujing was pinching Liu Xia's shoulder, and Liu Xia closed her eyes and enjoyed the beauty.

Chen Liu's appearance undoubtedly broke Liu Xia's desire to continue to enjoy, because as soon as Chen Liu came, Bian Yujing quickly left here with a red face.

Liu Xia picked up a stone and threw it into the river, floated a few times, and then sank. Liu Xia clapped her hands, stood up, and said to Chen Liu, "Although the river is very clear and clean, it is just what it looks like. I know that there is no poison in this river. If there is me, No one will take the water from the river to cook it."

"Although there is no poison in the river, we can't send anything else in the river. We don't know where the river flows from. If there is a plague in his upper reaches, will we be infected with the plague if we drink this water again?"

Plague was a very serious infectious disease in ancient times. The mention of plague can make many people's faces change. Of course, Liu Xia doesn't know whether there is a plague. Even if he knows that there is no plague, Liu Xia will still give this order. As for the problem of the plague, it is just an excuse found by Liu Xia. After all, if Liu Xia tells them, in this water There are bacteria on the surface. If you drink it, you may get infected. I guess they can't understand it. As for what the bacteria are, it is difficult to explain clearly.

Chen Liu didn't know where to get a feather fan from. He played with it a few times, then nodded with agreement and said, "The general is reasonable. We should be cautious when marching in the war. We don't have many people. We can't ignore the lives of the soldiers because of a little mistake."

Liu Xia turned around and walked to the camp. As she walked, she said, "I think you must have thought of this just now. Are you taking the exam?"

"Ha ha ha, the general is joking. My subordinates are just a little confused, just a little confused." Chen Liu smiled shyly, followed Liu Xia closely, and walked to the camp.

After Liu Xia ordered to camp on the spot, the logistics team concentrated all the goods, grain and fodder in the center of the camp, so the central part was full of grain and grass, where no one lived. Liu Xia's tent was next to the grain and grass. Except for Liu Xia, everyone else was scattered around, four battalions, just stationed in four directions, near The guard is stationed next to the food and grass. Even if someone sneaks up, it is unlikely to touch the food and grass.

"General"

"General"

Liu Xia walked to the camp, and the soldiers on both sides saw Liu Xia talking to Liu Xia one after another.

"Is the general going to join the army? Then my subordinates will leave first!" Chen Liu watched Liu Xia walk into his tent, so he quickly said that since Liu Xia wanted to know his tent, he must have rested. Naturally, Chen Liu had no reason to stop Liu Xia from resting.

Liu Xia nodded and said, "You go back first!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside. Liu Xia hurriedly looked out. At this time, a personal guard ran over and said to Liu Xia, "General, general, the battalion commander is back."

Liu Xia said, "Well, you go and tell him to go. Let him go and have a rest first. You don't have to come to see me!"

However, the soldier did not leave after listening to Liu Xia's words, but continued to say, "General, the battalion commander said that he wanted to report to the general and see the general!"

What's the matter? Liu Xia frowned. What's the matter? Is there something wrong?

Liu Xia said, "Then let him come here."

"Yes"

The soldier took the order to tell Yu Mingjun. Liu Xia also returned to his tent. Liu Xia's tent was divided into two, one was the place for discussion and the other was the place where Liu Xia rested.

Liu Xia went to the tent for discussion. She sat in the tent and waited for Yu Mingjun to come. But for a moment, Yu Mingjun hurriedly ran into the tent. After seeing Liu Xia, he bowed to Liu Xia and said, "General, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"After Zhao Jiabao divided the grain to the exiles and peasants, eight young men came out of the exiles and wanted to join our army. I think they had a lot of perseverance and took them. I don't know what you mean, general?" Yu Mingjun asked Liu Xia carefully. The private expansion is what every boss who wants to seize power does not want to see. Yu Mingjun, who has been in the army for so long, knows this matter deeply, so he seems to be very careful.

However, Liu Xia was not angry. In fact, Liu Xia also wanted to expand the army, but there had been no chance before. Now with food and resources, it is also imperative to expand the army. So Liu Xia said, "You go down first, take good care of the eight people, and then give them some delicious food. I will arrange them later. . You go down and have a rest first, and we will talk about it in an hour!"

"General, my subordinates have left first." After saying that, Yu Mingjun walked out.

Liu Xia is now thinking about how to expand the army. Liu Xia has been thinking about expanding the army, but now she has not figured out how to train, how to compile and manage the newly recruited army. However, Yu Mingjun brought back eight soldiers this time, which made Liu Xia implement this idea as soon as possible.

A thousand-person army may not be able to face the attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is estimated that it is a little difficult to defend the territory, so it is necessary and inevitable to expand the army.

Liu Xia picked up the brush on the table and began to think about the specific details of the army expansion on the rice paper.

"The new army will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield immediately. When fighting, it is not only an advantage to see more people. No matter how many people there are, they are not enough to eat, not warm to wear, old men, women and children. They don't have much combat effectiveness at all. It is definitely not possible. The newly recruited soldiers must be young and strong men over 18 years old and under 40 years old, otherwise they can't use it. Liu Xia is just a little bit of food. It is impossible to do any charity. They will go to help when they see the people on the road, and they will not recruit men, regardless of the number of old and young women, just like those peasant uprisings. How about the quality of the tube?

Since recruiting new recruits, the new recruits must not only be strong men, but also have to take care of their families. Liu Xia does not have so much food for so many worthless people. There are no idle people in the army.

After thinking about various plans, Liu Xia wrote down some military training methods in her previous life and put them down. Now is not the time to train soldiers. After all, she is still marching and fighting and has no time to train.

Then Liu Xia wrote down all kinds of treatment and things to do about the recruits. Liu Xia said that she would wait for the meeting after an hour. Now there is not much time left after an hour.

After a while, when Liu Xia wrote down everything she could think of, she shouted to the guard outside, "Come on."

"General, the villain"

"Go and tell him to go down and let the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders come to discuss the matter!"

"Yes, General"

......

After a time of incense, eight battalion commanders and a captain sat on the left and right chairs in Liu Xia's tent, and there was a chair at the end. Chen Liuzi was sitting there. They all looked at Jing Xiao and wanted to listen to what Liu Xia wanted to do. Except for Yu Mingjun, no one else knew what Liu Xia wanted to do.

Liu Xia said directly, "There are also a lot of exiles along the way, many of whom are strong, and we also need to expand the army, so this time I asked you to come here to discuss about the new army."

Liu Xia paused and then continued, "We have some food now, and there is no shortage of food, so it's a good time to expand our army. Of course, this newly expanded army naturally cannot directly participate in the war. It needs some veterans to take it with them, and then gradually give them actual combat experience, and then enter the main combat army.

"And there are also some criteria for choosing soldiers. We can't have all kinds of people. We can't have those old, weak, sick, women, children and children. We are the army and don't raise idle people. This is not cruel in the general's heart. We really can't support them. If we have a territory in the future, we may be able to absorb some raftuals. But not now, everyone should remember, don't recruit those unqualified soldiers for me because of your soft-heartedness. You must be responsible for the army!"
