Chapter 41 Reedit

After this battle, the number of Xiao Tianjian's men has doubled again. In addition to the original more than 20 subordinates, more than 30 people have been received from Sha Erbao alone, which has increased his men to nearly 60, which can be said to be a great increase in strength.

But for the new people, Xiao Tianjian still has some hidden worries. After all, these new people were forcibly taken into the gang by him, and they were still enemies in the past. They did not appear in the face of kindness like their previous subordinates.

So how to subdue these people has become something that Xiao Tianjian needs to consider. Fortunately, these people were all peripheral members of Sha Erbao at the beginning, and there was no loyalty to Sha Erbao. Moreover, Yan Chongxi and Luo Yingjie and others have expressed their loyalty, and the rest are easier to do.

After all, they follow Sha Erbao just to make a living. Who do you work with, as long as you control the food, but Xiao Tianjian is not satisfied that these people are just to make a living and follow him. He has a deep-rooted idea in his heart, that is, he must ensure the absolute loyalty of his subordinates to him, otherwise. He knew very well that no matter how many men he had, it could only be a sand castle on the beach in the end, which would collapse as soon as he encountered the waves.

So after taking these people back to the nest, he repeatedly stressed that he was not allowed to form gangs, distinguish between you and me, and not to discriminate against these new subordinates, and they are also treated equally in food. The big guys, regardless of whether they are noble or cheap, are all in the same pot. What he eats, everyone else eats.

Although this requirement is so, it is still impossible for the two groups to integrate completely and quickly. After all, there is a natural sense of superiority among the brothers, while the newcomers have a sense of inferiority. Even if Xiao Tianjian strictly orders that gangs are not allowed, people are used to staying with familiar people. There is still a clear feeling between the two people in the form.

For eating with Xiao Tianjian, the newcomers were a little suppressed on the first day, because when they used to follow Sha Erbao, Sha Erbao only took care of them for two meals every day. One of them was still only porridge, and they were not full at all. However, after arriving here, they found that Xiao Tianjian had to serve him one day. We have three meals, and there are dry meals. There is even bone soup to drink at noon, and everyone eats the same thing, and there is another rule that makes them feel fresh, that is, everyone has to queue up to get the meal, and even Xiao Tianjian, who is the palm plate, has no privilege to hold the rice bowl like them. The team leads the meal.

This surprised all the newcomers. They felt that Xiao Tianjian's style was really a little noble and cheap, so someone secretly asked the old brothers.

"What's so strange about this? Our palm plate has always been like this. Those of us who were the first to follow the palm plate were not used to it at first, but we are benevolent and righteous people, which has always been the case. With his mouthful of food, we will not starve our brothers. If we follow our palm plate, we will be lucky to heaven! You guys, it's your luck to meet our palm plate. As long as you work well with our palm plate, the palm plate will never treat you badly! Look at your bears, bowing their backs one by one. Learn from me, straighten your waist, and don't be ashamed! ..." When Feng Gouzi heard that the newcomer inquired about this, he proudly told them as an old qualification.

Everything in the world is afraid of comparison. In this comparison, these newcomers see the benefits of following Xiao Tianjian, so their hearts are much more stable.

Soon three days later, Shi Ran and Da Niu, who stayed at the side of the mountain temple, also rushed back to the nest. The meat tickets previously obtained from Guzhuang Sha Erbao were also redeemed by their families one after another. Moreover, because of the halving of the ransom, they thanked Shi Ran and others and called them benefactors. Thinking about it, it makes people laugh and cry, but it makes sense. After all, where is the high ransom proposed by Sha Erbao at the beginning is placed? Suddenly, half of the money can be reduced. Those bitter masters are naturally happy.

In addition to the ransom they got, this time they also solved the problem of salt. Among the meat tickets they got, there was also a person who was related to private salt traffickers. After he was rescued by Xiao Tianjian's group, he saw that Xiao Tianjian was good to him, giving him food, water, and not beating or scolding, so he patted his chest. Assure them, please contact them to ensure that they will be supplied with a batch of salt.

Later, Shi Ran simply made his own decision to avoid his ransom and let his family send some salt. As a result, the other party suddenly sent them a stone salt as a reward. At present, he was also cameled back by Shi Ran and others with a donkey.

There are many subordinates and many troubles. Xiao Tianjian suddenly found that after he had more subordinates, he could not control it. Because in his later generations, he had heard some courses on management and knew that management was the shape of a pyramid. A person's energy was limited, and the number of subordinates who could effectively manage was general. In addition, there are seven or eight people, no more than ten people at most. Otherwise, it will be difficult to manage effectively. Even if flat management is implemented, it is impossible for him to manage dozens of people alone.

So after he got to this point, he had to choose some people from himself to act as the leader.

After some consideration, Xiao Tianjian still selected a few relatively capable people from his brothers to replace some of his own work.

These people are Tietou, Feng Gouzi, Shi Ran, Zhao Erlu Donkey, Li Shuanzhu and Jin Fuzi. Except for Jin Fuzi's continued work as the temporary logistics manager, the rest were appointed as monitor by Xiao Tianjian.

After Xiao Tianjian came to this era, although he knew more or less about the officer system of this era, and knew that the officers in the Ming Dynasty had generals, deputy generals, generals, defenders, Qianzong, generals, general flags, small flags and other official positions from top to bottom, Xiao Tianjian was quite disapproving about this.

Because he is still used to the title of officers in later generations, and the evolution of the army is also in the era of alternating between the old and the new. In this era, the West is carrying out various military reforms. It is completely up to him. There is no need for him to imitate the military establishment of this era, so he simply brought the later generations. The army is organized to compile his subordinates.

So these newly released class leaders took office.

Xiao Tianjian also listened to the opinions of Yan Chongxi, who was born in the army, and learned that there is still a distinction between family, soldiers and auxiliary soldiers in the army in this era. Needless to say, they are the subordinates of the generals in this era, and also the most effective soldiers. They are the direct line of the generals and the army. In addition to the family members, there are also soldiers in the backbone. During the war, these soldiers will be the main combat members of the army. They will cooperate with the generals and the family members to fight. Needless to say, the auxiliary soldiers are auxiliary soldiers, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. When they go on an expedition with the army, they are mainly responsible for some handymen and raising horses. , cooking, carrying water... and other chores, there is no combat effectiveness at all, and will not be used for combat.

Xiao Tianjian still knows something about what Yan Chongxi said. After thinking about it, he feels that he must not do anything. In that case, it is equivalent to destroying his own team. If he does so, his team will soon be like the Ming army. If it collapses like that, the army will soon lose its combat effectiveness.

And in his vision, his team must ensure that he is single-minded and disciplined, so that everyone is a useful combat member, instead of relying only on those few people to safeguard their personal interests. His team must be a whole, with both glory and loss, all People must obey the collective will and fight for the interests of the collective, and there must be no small interest groups like generals and householders.

But he can't help but admit the value of the existence of auxiliary soldiers. In every team, such auxiliary members are indispensable, and he can't guarantee that each of his subordinates is a qualified combat soldier, so he doesn't reject the problem of auxiliary soldiers. After all, in the army of later generations. There are similar auxiliary forces, such as transport troops, civilian personnel, etc.

At present, it is impossible for him to divide the arms as clearly as the army of future generations, so for the time being, he can only divide the two arms of soldiers and auxiliary soldiers as the basic framework of his team.

After figure out this point, Xiao Tianjian immediately began to reorganize the dozens of people under his command. From these 60 people, he picked out more than a dozen new and old members who were not suitable as front-line combat members for various reasons, and handed them over to Mr. Jin for management and temporarily let them to be auxiliary soldiers. Usually Responsible for some of the sundries of the old camp. When you go to war, you can be responsible for transportation, cooking and other things, and let the rest of the people concentrate on fighting and training as much as possible.

But being made as auxiliary soldiers does not mean that they are completely out of training. For these auxiliary soldiers, Xiao Tianjian also requires them to receive training, but in terms of training intensity, compared with the remaining soldiers, they still have to run and exercise in the morning, at least three kilometers to complete. Run wild. In the morning, they also have to participate in the formal queue and long gun thrust training, so that when they really meet the enemy, they will not become a group of lambs to be slaughtered. This most basic combat effectiveness is still necessary.

The remaining more than 40 people are all served as soldiers, and they are completely out of work. Except for those who take turns to guard at the mountain pass every day, all the rest have to carry out intensive training all day.

But then Xiao Tianjian encountered a problem, that is, the treatment of the soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. The soldiers will fight with people face to face with real knives and guns in the future. Compared with the auxiliary soldiers, what they do is much more dangerous and the training is much more demanding. If there is no difference, then What a ghost would stupidly be this soldier!

Originally, Xiao Tianjian didn't expect this matter, but he was mentioned by several of his brothers. He realized the problem. But now, in addition to taking out the harvest and giving rewards to his subordinates after going out to do business, he usually doesn't pay his subordinates at all, so he really wants to treat the treatment of war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers differently. It's a little troublesome.

After some thought, Xiao Tianjian finally decided that from now on, the soldiers and the auxiliary soldiers will eat separately. The soldiers can enjoy three meals a day, while the auxiliary soldiers and other personnel can only have two meals a day, and the soldiers' meals will be supplied to some every few days. Meat is much better than that of auxiliary soldiers.

In this era, the average people eat two meals a day, but in order to make his men able to withstand high-intensity training and make these seriously nutritionally deficient subordinates get stronger as soon as possible, he provides his men with three meals a day, which makes these guys very satisfied with this quality of life.

After Xiao Tianjian makes such a decision, his subordinates have nothing to say. After all, everyone understands that when they are soldiers, they have to fight with their lives. In general, auxiliary soldiers do not have to fight. In terms of training, the amount of movement of auxiliary soldiers is not as much as that of soldiers, and being beaten is less than that of soldiers. After understanding this, everyone has no opinion. After all, although they only eat two meals a day, it is also not easy for them. At least for these two meals, Xiao Tianjian also ensures that they have something to do. Even if it is not as good as the treatment of soldiers, at least it is better than they did not do it before. At that time, the food is much better. Basically, it is no problem to be full.

After this difference in treatment, the enthusiasm of the soldiers was immediately mobilized. When they lined up, their chests were a little higher. They worked hard to show their differences from the auxiliary soldiers, so that those auxiliary soldiers who were not selected as soldiers were quite envious of them.

After this matter was settled, Xiao Tianjian separated all the more than 40 soldiers selected. The new and old members were mixed together to bring the old and the new. Basically, an old brother brought a new partner, so as to make every new member familiar with their practice methods and various rules as soon as possible.

These more than 40 people were divided into four classes by Xiao Tianjian. Each class has ten people, led by a monitor. At the same time, an old brother is selected to be the deputy monitor. If necessary, in case the monitor is killed or injured in an incident, the deputy monitor can be put on the top to ensure that each class has a leader.

In addition to these four classes, he also selected several people who can ride horses, such as Daniel, and handed them over to Shi Ran to serve as his scout team. Shi Ran was also appointed as the monitor, and Daniel served as the deputy squad leader. When necessary, these people can also be used as cavalry.

In this way, he has initially laid a foundation, which will play a good role in the expansion of his team in the future.

For the establishment of each class, Xiao Tianjian asked Tietou to select a few more capable men, all equipped with shields and waist knives, which were used as melee soldiers, and changed the formation of almost all long spearmen in the past, so that their team's staffing tends to be more reasonable, and also saves the time when opponents deal with bows and arrows against them. There will be a large number of casualties, and there may even be a total collapse.

For the remaining three classes of Zhao Erlu, Feng Gouzi and Li Shuanzhu, Xiao Tianjian still asked them to be equipped with long guns and let them form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

However, Yan Chongxi is not satisfied with Xiao Tianjian's arrangement. In his opinion, this team must have a group of people equipped with bows and arrows to provide them with basic long-range firepower. What's more, there are also these things in their inventory. Although the arrows are insufficient, It can be made by yourself and fully equipped with a group of archers.

However, Yan Chongxi's proposal was rejected by Xiao Tianjian. His reason is that there is basically no qualified archer in the current team, and it takes too long to practice archers. Even within a year or two, it is not possible to train a group of qualified archers, so it is a waste of time. In the matter of training archers, it is better to make their knife and shield hands and long shooters form a useful combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

For Xiao Tianjian's persistence, Yan Chongxi thinks it makes sense. After all, he knows better than others that it is very difficult to train a qualified archer. At this time, it is not as appropriate as Xiao Tianjian said that it is better to practice more qualified long shooters or knives and shields.

What's more, Yan Chongxi also saw the strength of the long spear soldiers trained by Xiao Tianjian. The dense long spears and horizontal team. When facing the enemy, he is as powerful as Lin. Even he, an veteran who has seen a lot of battles, is a little hairy, and this is just Xiao Tianjian's training their combat effectiveness in a short time, generally In this case, when you encounter a similar number of opponents, you can basically be invincible.
