Chapter 103 digging talents
Updated: 2012-05-01
Xiao Yu looked at the 10,000 troops in front of him and nodded in his heart. Long Hui's ability to train soldiers is indeed good. After all, he is also the commander who has been in charge of the soldiers and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
However, now that there are soldiers, there are still many problems that bother the Lion King.
"Young Master, although these soldiers are trained by me to become qualified soldiers, their commanders are very small. The Lion King's territory is now wide and there are only one noble family in the Xiao family, so it is difficult to find an officer."
Long Hui complained to Xiao Yu about the lack of commander talent.
In this world, if you want to become an officer, you must be a noble. Civilians are not allowed to be an officer. At most, they can only be a small squad leader. Senior officers must be of the blood of a noble, which is a tradition for thousands of years.
During World War I, Germany and Britain, the powerful countries of the United Kingdom, still retained this tradition. It was not until World War II that a large number of talents were urgently needed, and the requirements for this aspect were reduced.
Rommel rose at that time because of the needs of the situation. Otherwise, Rommel would not have become the commander of the party.
This world is still strict with traditions in this area.
Xiao Yu looked at these soldiers and knew in his heart that if there were no qualified commanders, no matter how elite soldiers were, it would be useless. When the Soviet Union invaded Finland, such a powerful country fought such a small country, resulting in more than 400,000 casualties, and Finland only suffered 20,000 deaths and 20,000 people killed. One of the big reasons was that the Great Purge almost killed all the commanders. It was not possible to have an elite army and good weapons.
"Build a military academy." Xiao Yu suddenly said.
"Military Academy?" Long Hui was slightly stunned. There is a Knights Academy and a Magician Academy in this world, but there is no school that specializes in training officers.
Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not like the Knights Academy who specializes in cultivating powerful knights, but commanders who specialize in commanding operations. They may not have strong force, but if they have a smart mind and excellent command ability, they can also become officers."
Long Hui frowned fiercely, which was completely beyond his understanding. It seemed that this kind of military academy was never seen on this continent, which was specifically designed to train commanders. It was generally a Knight Academy, which taught powerful martial arts, knight's codes, and some common sense in military affairs.
Because this era is the era of cold weapons, we generally pay more attention to the level of knights' force and do not pay much attention to command.
Sometimes, a powerful knight can decide the situation of the battle by leading the charge. For example, a general like Xiang Yu can win every battle with absolute courage and some wisdom.
A commander who has no force but is smart is unbearable in this world.
"But, there are no more children of noble blood in our territory, and we can't recruit people." Long Hui said in embarrassment. Although the Lion King has migrated a lot of people, they all belong to civilians and have no nobles.
Any nobleman has their own arrogance. It is difficult for them to migrate such a remote and weak territory as the Lion King.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said, "For the time being, select a group of civilian soldiers with excellent combat, train them as low-level commanders and senior commanders, and I will find a way."
Xiao Yu dared not say that he would immediately let the children of civilians become senior commanders. If he said that, Long Hui would probably be anxious immediately.
Commanders like Long Hui are also the ones who have been knights for generations, commanders, the glory of nobles, and the arrogance of knights have made them look down on civilians.
If suddenly, those common civilians who he usually meet have the opportunity to become as equal to him, this is absolutely unbearable.
Xiao Yu also understood this feeling. Nobles and civilians are always opposites, and no nobles can allow civilians to become nobles casually.
After hearing this, although Long Hui felt that even if it was just a low-level person, there was something wrong with letting civilians be commanders, there seemed to be no good idea now. Anyway, they were just allowed to become commanders of sergeants, and the commander of ten people, such as ten people, and hundreds of people, could not be allowed.
Xiao Yu made a new organization for Long Hui's ten thousand troops, adopting a system like the ten, hundreds, and thousands of men who were in charge of the Mongolians.
In this way, each team has a clear level. When fighting, the command can be executed as fast as the arm and fingers.
So, under Xiao Yu's command, Long Hui began to select some civilian soldiers who were brave in combat and had made great contributions to select them as low-level commanders to command.
It’s easy to say that ten people are long. Common people are okay, but hundreds of people are already a big official title, so Long Hui cannot accept that a civilian has such great power.
Therefore, a hundred people are headed, and a thousand men are not established for the time being. When there are noble children, there are only ten people headed now. Xiao Yu transferred the fourth sister-in-law Xuesha to assist Long Hui as the No. 2 military figure in the territory. There is 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 found a way to dig them up.
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 poached easily."
Xiao Yu took a sip of red wine, narrowed his eyes and said, "As long as you swing the hoe well, you can't dig it up without a corner."
So, Xiao Yu asked Long Hui to collect good records of generals from some nearby territories and then prepare to poach talents.
"Damn, what is the most expensive in the 21st century? Talent." Xiao Yu learned from Uncle Li's tone and planned how to poach talents on a large scale.
In fact, not only military talents, but now the Lion King lacks any talent. All administrative work is basically managed by the old housekeeper, and he does not go to bed until midnight every day. Xiao Yu feels distressed when he sees it.
However, without the right staff, this is the only way.
Xiao Yu waved his hand and called his second sister-in-law Xuehan over and asked her to help Xiao Hong manage internal affairs together. Any clause that women cannot participate in politics will be invalidated.
After a period of observation, Xiao Yu found that the second wife Xuehan had a certain way of management. Xiao Yu also told her some of the content of Yu Shiwei's lecture. Xuehan suddenly realized and was more proficient in management.
In this case, Xiao Hong's pressure was shared a lot. Because Xue Han is not an outsider and belongs to the Xiao family's wife, Xiao Hong has nothing to say about this.
Sister-in-law Qi Yin usually manages some trivial matters in the family. Xiao Yu directly asked Qi Yin to manage some of the financial and accounting situations in the family, and then shared some of the pressure on the old butler Xiao Hong.
In this case, Xiao Hong only needs to check whether Qi Yin has done properly at that time, and help correct any omissions.
Xiao Yu now feels that the Lion King has a bit of the female general of the Yang Sect.
The third sister-in-law Kamina saw that everyone had a job and was not willing to be lonely, so she ran to find Xiao Yu with Xiwen and wanted to do some things.
Xiao Yu then asked the two of them to help Qi Yin and manage the internal affairs of the family well.
After sorting out the administration and military of the territory, Xiao Yu also felt that his territory was slowly becoming more formal. Then he wondered whether to follow the method of recruiting talents in the Warring States Period and put out a few recruitment lists to recruit some talents.
However, there is really nothing to attract in the territory now, and there is probably no one to come after hanging it out. So I'd better wait for Long Hui to find some generals from other territories and then dig a few to come first.
On the other hand, Xiao Yu also sent scouts to inquire about the movements of the robbers and see when they were preparing to attack and be ready.
After working for more than ten days, Long Hui reported a news that a general from the nearby Duchy of Wei was excluded and had the possibility of soliciting him.
Xiao Yu actually knew this general. He knew the general's son when he was eating, drinking, gambled in Huicheng, the capital of the Duchy of Wei.
However, the general's son is much stronger than Xiao Yu. He is a student from the Knights Academy. That time he went home to visit relatives, but he met Xiao Yu and his group of playboys, and he had a dispute and beat them up.
"Mu Huali, okay, I'll take this person."
Xiao Yu said with a smile. Piaotian, a registered member of the literature recommended this work
