Chapter 111 Military Grading, Attack and Yang Jiamo's Discovery

In the field army of the People's Salvation Army, in addition to the main combat troops, there are also various auxiliary arms.

For example, there are logistics troops transporting grain and grass supplies, medical soldiers, etc., totaling about 10,000 people.

Not to mention the logistics force, most of the current medical soldiers are women.

After all, when they were in Niaoshu Mountain, they were trained as medical soldiers.

In the following time, although some people retired, not many other women were willing to join.

But for now, women still make up the majority.

Moreover, they also possess magical powers, and in some respects, they are no weaker than men.

Moreover, they also have to be more careful, and the dynasty also developed magical powers of medicine.

This allows them to easily feel the relationship between various herbs and their attributes through their spiritual senses.

All they need is some medical books, or a doctor's guidance, and a short period of study to become a qualified doctor.

Even stronger than most doctors.

Because the Chinese medicine prepared through magical means is much stronger than ordinary Chinese medicine.

Moreover, after they possess the magical power of medicine, they will also breed the medical Qi belonging to the medical family, which can greatly promote the body's self-healing ability.

Therefore, some people in society may not think highly of them, and some may even look at them strangely.

However, among all the Salvation Army members, no one looked down upon them. Instead, they all treated them with respect.

After all, I don't know when they will be needed to save lives, so naturally they have to be respected.

Although, even if they are offended, they may still be treated.

But in this process, deliberately targeting a little bit, such as the medicine being slightly bitter than Coptis chinensis, the acupuncture being slightly painful, etc., is also a bit intolerable, so naturally one has to respect it.

And all these army soldiers, whether they are field armies or local armies, whether they are combat arms or auxiliary arms, all belong to the category of the regular army.

Outside of the regular army, they are the recruits in the new military camp.

So far, there are more than 50,000 people.

In addition, the dynasty also asked members of rural cooperatives and village chiefs to form militias in their respective villages.

A village doesn’t need too many, three, five, or a dozen are enough, and everything is based on voluntariness.

Work during busy farming hours and organize training during leisure time.

The dynasty is even planning to send soldiers from the new barracks to various villages to lead them in training during the winter after the autumn harvest.

As a reward, these people will also receive the status of regular army.

In fact, within the territory of the People's Salvation Army, there is no need for militiamen.

However, what the dynasty wanted was that these militiamen could serve as military reserves.

When the armies expand their recruitment and recruits are removed from the new barracks, these militiamen can be recruited and trained in the new barracks as new soldiers.

In this way, it will be easier for them to become familiar with the military and complete military training as soon as possible.

The most important thing is that these militiamen do not need to be maintained by the dynasty.

But there are three, five, or ten people, and a village is more than enough to support them.

Unlike new recruits, even if they don't go to the battlefield, the dynasty still needs to support them.

Three meals a day do not count.

As long as they are new soldiers who enter the new barracks, they will receive a military salary of five cents a month, which is higher than the treatment of most Ming troops in the late Ming Dynasty.

And the 40,000 to 50,000 new soldiers will need two to thirty thousand taels of silver every month.

If more were recruited, it would be possible to support it with the gold and silver that the dynasty had gathered now, but it was not necessary.

After all, there is a lot of construction going on in the territory, and there are too many places to spend money.

However, as the territory expands, more and more soldiers will be needed.

Just 40,000 to 50,000 new soldiers are not worth much.

Therefore, the dynasty asked each village to form militia teams for the most basic training.

When needed, recruits can be directly recruited into the military camp, trained and then entered into various armies. This not only saves a lot of time in training new recruits, but also saves financial expenditures.

As for whether they will be unwilling to join the army?

If it were placed in the Ming Dynasty, there is a high probability that no one would be willing.

But the Salvation Army is different, and the treatment is really not comparable to that of the Ming Army.

The recruits who do not need to go to the battlefield but are trained every day will not only have three meals a day, but also have a military salary of five coins.

As for the regular army, [regular soldiers] are worth one tael of silver;

【War Soldiers】are two taels of silver;

The [elite soldiers] who have just appeared in recent wars are paid five taels of silver per month; this is a treatment that is not available in the entire world.

Faced with this kind of super high treatment, no one would be tempted.

Although becoming an [elite soldier] is not easy.

However, that is also a visible temptation. As long as you are willing to work hard and kill enough enemies, you can naturally become an [Elite Soldier].

Moreover, after having the official seal and general order, and being able to worship generals and appoint officials on a large scale, the dynasty simply decentralized the promotion of status to individuals on the same day.

In other words, as long as he achieves his achievements, he can naturally improve his level without even needing promotion from his superiors.

All they have to do is report their promotion to their superiors and the Military Selection Department.

They will naturally receive corresponding treatment.

In this way, the situation of artificially blocking promotion is completely avoided.

And if you can become a corps commander, chief, etc., you can get higher treatment.

And the most important thing is that it is said that after becoming a member of the Salvation Army, one can master supernatural powers.

Moreover, the Salvation Army is victorious in every battle, with very few casualties.

And even if they die, they will enter the Martyrs' Shrine and be worshipped by the local people and the Salvation Army;

And their families will also receive a large amount of subsidies, with elderly care and children to raise, and they will be treated preferentially throughout their lives.

With the temptation of super high treatment and supernatural powers, plus no worries after death, no one would not want to join the Salvation Army.

Therefore, within the territory of the Salvation Army, the people are completely different from other places. They are afraid of the army like a tiger and try their best to avoid military service. Instead, they try their best to join the Salvation Army.

However, the Salvation Army needs elite soldiers, and the recruitment is limited.

Moreover, with the current four prefectures, supporting nearly 100,000 troops, even with the power of supernatural powers, it has almost reached the limit.

Perhaps, after two rounds of rapid harvesting of crops this year with the help of supernatural powers, more troops can be supported.

Faced with the Salvation Army, which has no plans to expand its army for the time being, those who want to join it can only find a way to join the army reserve - the militia.

When it is time to recruit soldiers, the Salvation Army will naturally give priority to the militia.

And it is precisely this situation that has caused the number of militias in the Salvation Army's territory to reach an astonishing number.

According to the rough calculations of the military, the number of militias now exceeds the number of regular troops, at least 150,000 or 160,000.

At least, it is enough to support the expansion of each army several times.

Wang Chao and his men withdrew their troops from Qinzhou, Panling and other places to the north. Every time they passed a place, there would be several villages, hundreds of militias gathered, standing in standard military postures on both sides of the road, lining up to welcome and see them off, with desire in their eyes.

They also want to join this majestic and highly paid army.

At the speed of the Salvation Army, if they rush at full speed, it will only take a few days to cross hundreds of miles and reach Lanzhou and Jin County.

Even though they needed to take care of the logistics support team for transporting supplies and food, Wang Chao and his men arrived outside Jin County on March 20.

This is the northernmost county of Lintao Prefecture, and it is also a county town that has not been occupied by the People's Salvation Army.

In addition, only Lanzhou, which is close to the Great Wall, has not been occupied yet.

When he arrived here, Wang Chao did not launch an attack immediately.

Instead, he sent Wang Dahu and Li Yu's troops to continue to march westward and station troops in Jishi Pass, Guide and other places.

When all this was ready, on April 12, the armies launched a massive attack together.

Wang Shi captured Jin County, Qingshui Fort, and went up along the Haowei River, approaching the Great Wall Shizichuan Fort and Yitiaocheng Fort.

Wang Chao personally led the army to besiege Lanzhou, occupying Anning Fort, Kushuiwan Post and other places.

Li Yu's troops went out of Jishi Pass, occupied Gushan Post and approached Nianbo Post.

Wang Dahu's troops went out of Guide Post and occupied Dongkeer, Xiningwei and other places.

At this time, the eunuch sent by the court to deliver the imperial edict had also arrived in Gansu Town, and read the imperial edict to the Gansu Governor Mei Zhihuan and the General of the Imperial Guard Yang Jiamo.

General of the Imperial Guard Yang Jiamo was promoted to the general of Gansu, and was given the seal of the General of Pingqiang. Together with the Governor Mei Zhihuan, he wiped out the Salvation Army entrenched in Lintao and other places.

After receiving the imperial edict, Yang Jiamo and Mei Zhihuan immediately prepared.

At this time, they received a request for help from Xining Guard and Nianbo, saying that they were attacked by the Salvation Army.

Yang Jiamo and Mei Zhihuan were shocked, and they immediately led their troops to set off.

Yang Jiamo personally led his army to help Xining Guard, and also sent a detachment to help Nianbo.

As for the Governor Mei Zhihuan, he naturally dispatched military supplies such as food and grass in Gansu, and organized the follow-up troops.

When Yang Jiamo hurried to the vicinity of Xiningwei, he learned that Wang Dahu, the leader of the People's Rescue Army, had led his army to capture Xiningwei. This made Yang Jiamo very angry, and he immediately led his army to recapture Xiningwei.

Speaking of which, the Ming army led by Yang Jiamo was stronger than Wu Zhiwang and the Ming army under Li Qiao.

In addition, there were 30,000 to 40,000 people, which was indeed a threat to Wang Dahu who was stationed in Dongkeer and Xiningwei.

When Yang Jiamo came to the city, Wang Dahu wanted to launch a surprise attack while Yang Jiamo was exhausted from the expedition.

However, Yang Jiamo, who was strict in military discipline, did not give him this opportunity. Both defense and garrison were very methodical, and Wang Dahu could only lead his army to charge and return.

He once wanted to use the power of supernatural powers to directly kill Yang Jiamo, the commander-in-chief.

However, Yang Jiamo seemed to have been prepared for this, and he never showed up, giving Wang Dahu no chance at all.

The reason for this was that Yang Jiamo felt an extreme danger when Wang Dahu led his army to launch a surprise attack, as if he would be fatally attacked as soon as he showed up.

This was the ability he had during this period of time. With a high degree of concentration, he could even enter a magical space.

After reading the classics, he felt that it should be the upper dantian and purple mansion spiritual platform where the soul is located, as mentioned by Buddhism and Taoism.

Although he didn't know why he could suddenly enter the upper dantian purple mansion.

However, he could perceive the benefits it brought.

This made his perception more acute, and he could often perceive danger and anticipate the enemy's moves during battles.

Even, he was still vaguely aware that there was some kind of power between heaven and earth, which seemed to fluctuate with his mind.

However, he also tried various means to drive that energy, including some methods recorded in the legends of Buddhism and Taoism that he could collect.

But in the end, except for the visualization method of the two schools, which could make it easier to enter the consciousness space, all the others failed.

At most, it caused the power in the world to fluctuate slightly, and the energy showed a slight sign of gathering.

Apart from that, there were no other changes.
