Liu Mingqi looked at Miao Yan's dazed look and said bitterly: "Mr. Miao, you are the dignified governor of the canal transportation and also serve as the imperial envoy. If you encounter Japanese attacks this time, will you really have to stand still?"

Miao Yan looked at Liu Mingqi, "What did your highness say? My Cao Transport Office itself has no force. It can protect the entire Huaiyin and protect the nearby Cao Transportation River. It is already considered to be doing its best. Isn't using the garrison army to fight with the enemy? "

The Governor's Office of the Canal Transportation Transportation originally had 5,000 elite soldiers.

Lin Zhenyuan did not forget to train them. They were better than the surrounding garrisons, in terms of strength and equipment.

However, the most important role of these people is to guard Huaiyin City.

As the hub of the Grand Canal and the location of the Governor's Office of the Canal Transportation Transportation, the importance of Huaiyin is self-evident.

Five thousand people are enough for the defense of the garrison on weekdays. When the Japanese fight, they probably have to add these 20,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to be able to stabilize.

With such strength, you asked Miao Yan to split up thousands of people, or even kill all the thieves. What if Huaiyin City is taken out by Japanese people?

Can Miao Yan bear this responsibility?

Is he that stupid?

The young man smiled, "Looking at the appearance of Lord Miao, he regarded these 20,000 Caoshu as waste, which was useless at all."

"Otherwise, what's going on?" Miao Yan spread his hands: "Twenty thousand Cao soldiers, over 40 years old, account for one-third of them, and the remaining half are at least three thousand as thin as beggars. At most, they can be considered a normal strong man of eight thousand, but they have not received any training! It's okay to let them do some work, but they are fighting? Forget it!"

“This is not necessarily.”

Liu Mingqi said: "Mr. Miao, although they were so unbearable before, when you come to your side, I think there are many people who have been well recuperated in the past few months, right?"

There were about 40,000 canal soldiers in the canal transportation yamen.

But on weekdays, they are not those who are showing off their power to collect taxes, and they also take searches and capture the smuggling merchants' yamen to the office. Instead, they are responsible for various dirty and bitter soldiers who repair the river, clean the river, and transport various canal materials.

To put it bluntly, these people are coolies.

And he has always maintained the identity restrictions of the canal soldiers and cannot work and make a living in other places.

If you meet the governor of the canal transportation, you can give them three melons and two dates.

If you encounter a harsh governor of the canal transportation, it is a problem whether you can have enough food.

This is why the Caoshu soldiers are inefficient and have increasingly troublesome management.

Liu Mingqi gave Miao Yan the first tip to slash at Cao Zhu, which really gained support from both sides.

The tycoons above can reduce the burden and streamline personnel.

The lower half of the canals can be freed from this fate, and the remaining treatment will be doubled.

Everyone is happy

As for the officials who could deduct money and food from the grain of the grain of the grain of the grain of the grain of the grain of the grain of the grain of the Lin Zhenyuan case, they had been washed once and Miao Yan had washed again. Where could anyone dare to say anything?

But Miao Yan still has to be responsible for the livelihoods of these 20,000 people, and he will ignore it if he cannot be laid off.

Therefore, the scale of this shipyard has been increased.

This is all tied up and tied, and Liu Mingqi has long helped him design it.

Miao Yan felt shocked at the time, and now he also thought that Liu Mingqi was too smart and too planning.

This is also why he is willing to talk about this issue with Liu Mingqi now.

Otherwise, he would let Liu Mingqi get the horses and supplies and get out quickly, and not delay his handling of a lot of government affairs.

Thoughts flashed, Miao Yan nodded: "Yes, there are about seven or eight thousand people who have been well prepared now. If you want to say that there are about fifteen thousand people who can perform their functions when defending the city."

"That's pretty good."

Liu Mingqi said in a dilemma: "Mr. Miao, if you can trust me, you can come up with 5,000 people and train for two months according to the method I gave you. You can definitely become an elite army that can kill enemies and defend your hometown."

"Two months?" Miao Yan obviously disbelief: "Just them?"

"Of course not all of them, they also need to insert real tough sergeants into the team and act as the captain of every team." Liu Mingqi said, "With veterans leading them to increase their cohesion, they will naturally play a huge role."

Miao Yan couldn't understand it, "Even if there are veterans who are fighting, can they be as fierce as the cruel Japanese? I heard many merchants in Jiangnan say that Japan's warriors have very high military power and are also very fierce. When ordinary garrisons meet them, they can only die! Otherwise, the emperor would not have sent the general of the Hu Ben Guard to lead the army to fight the troops."

"So you don't want to do something?" Liu Mingqi continued to fool him, "Mr. Miao, you are not just the governor of the canal transportation! You are still temporarily entrust the imperial envoy. If you have the ability, you can do more, right? Isn't it just for you to turn the tide in northern Jiangsu?"

"hehe!"

Who is Miao Yan? How could he be instigated by this kid?

He sneered a few times, "Don't provoke me, it's useless! The most important thing in life is to see yourself clearly. I am not a person who gallops on the battlefield. Thinking so much is harmful!"

"This is not necessarily true." Liu Mingqi said: "Mr. Ge thought so at the beginning, but as the saying goes, the times create heroes, wasn't he forced to this point today? Lord Miao, you Legalists are born to be the commander, do you know why?"

"Law enforcement is like a mountain? Orders are prohibited?"

"Wrong!"

Liu Mingqi shook her finger, "The first element is that the Legalists are not afraid of death."

Miao Yan was slightly stunned and nodded involuntarily the next moment.

This is a very important question.

It is obvious which one can win a battle better if a commander who is not afraid of death and a commander who is always behind and runs away whenever there is danger.

"You are not afraid of death, so why are the people below afraid?" Liu Mingqi said: "As far as ancient times, there are only a few key points in war. The head coach is not afraid of death, the head coach is clearly the second, and the sergeant obeys the command is the third... With these, plus some additional factors, it is difficult to defeat the battle."

Li Ling fought 5,000 infantrymen and 80,000 Xiongnu people for about twenty days, killing and injuring more than 30,000 enemies. Isn’t that just because of this?

If the subordinates who were left by the General of the Cavalry did not have so much thought, how could this talented general die of old age in the Huns so unjustly?

There is also Duke Wei Yi of the Ming Dynasty and the Qi family army of only 10,000 people. He killed the Japanese pirates and the Northern Barbarians. Isn’t that because of these?

Including the Yue family army of Duke Mu of Yuewu, they are also peerless elite soldiers who came out under such circumstances!

Many people think that the Yue Family Army is equivalent to our soldiers, so you are really thinking too much. The Yue Family Army’s military law is completely the most rigorous in the world, so it is possible to create such an elite soldier that does not belong to that era at all.

Miao Yan has read military books and knows a lot of ways to lead troops.

But because he had not experienced that kind of era of knowledge explosion and could not integrate the success of ancient generals, he did not agree with Liu Mingqi's words so much.

But this did not prevent him from listening.

Why?

Is one of the things that Liu Mingqi proposed before was wrong?

Now that he talked about it again and again, Miao Yan also felt that he could make some preparations.

Even if these people are still useless, if the war is in a tight situation, can they still take over?

Anyway, as long as it is to block the Japanese warriors and protect the safety of the people, their sacrifices will be valuable.

Don't doubt it.

The people of the Legalists are so cruel. At the critical moment, they will never regard human life as human life.

So Miao Yan nodded immediately: "Okay, Your Highness, you say that, then let's give it a try!"

Liu Mingqi said first: "Tonight I will send you the written training methods and formations, and by the way, I will be anxious about a group of middle-level generals, so I will tell them."

"good!"

Miao Yan agreed, but asked again: "Your Highness also wants to send this training method and formation to Governor Liu, right?"

"No."

The boy denied, "He may not be able to use it, and he may not necessarily pay attention to it. Only Lord Miao, you are my best test product."

Miao Yan couldn't help laughing at the moment he heard it, "It turns out that I am worthy of being used!"

"The Legalists are naturally the easiest way to experiment with me." Liu Mingqi thought for a while and said, "For example, my formation and training method are based on strict laws. As the head coach, decisive killing is the most basic, and Ci does not control the army."

"What should I say specifically?" Miao Yan became a little interested.

"If you are in an ambush and fight, if you encounter a thief and cannot afford to get up early, the soldier will be punished by a pole and the captain will be killed!"

"Those who pretend to be sick in the face of battle will be killed!"

"Those who abandon military weapons in the last battle will be killed!"

"Whoever hears the drums and does not advance in the battle, and those who hears the gold will not retreat will be killed!"

"Those who retreat in the face of the battle will be allowed to cut the troops, the troops will be cut, the military marquis will be cut, the military marquis will be cut, and the military marquis will be cut, and the military marquis will be cut. If the troops are withdrawn, the troops will be cut back, and those who have no ears will be killed!"

"When fighting in the battle, one person will be killed if one person retreats. If the whole team retreats, the captain will be killed if the captain dies. If the whole team retreats, the whole team will be killed if the whole team retreats!"

"Kill civilians and those who take credit will kill you!"

"Those who rape the silver woman will be killed!"

"During the march and combat, those who often incite homesickness will be killed!"

"Those who take the military merits will be killed!"

"Hiss~"

Even though Miao Yan thought he was heartbroken, his scalp was numb when he heard Liu Mingqi's ten consecutive "cuts".

Miao Yan understands the laws of the Dakang army clearly.

He knew that if he wanted to train a good army, he must have sufficient training and regulations on orders.

But I never knew that an army actually needed to abide by so many strict and cruel laws above.

Each one is not a punishment, it is just killing, killing, killing!

Those who are a little timid may be scared to death when they hear it?

He smiled bitterly: "Are you training troops or killing people? Who would like to join the army with such strict laws? Not to mention the people from Jiangnan here, even the soldiers of the imperial guards, I am afraid that they will feel dissatisfied with these extremely harsh military orders?"

"The harsh military orders at that time were definitely not possible, but if sufficient rewards were added, it would be different." Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "Sir, in this world, some people are those who are willing to die for a little food, and some are those who are willing to die for their families who can eat a bite of food. As long as we give proper rewards, five thousand people will never worry about insufficient numbers!"

Miao Yan looked at Liu Mingqi, then sighed again: "Your Highness, did you change your temperament because you saw the experiences of those poor women and children in Xiqiu Village? Such feelings cannot appear in the hearts of royal nobles like you!"

"Maybe God gave me the instructions!"

Liu Mingqi smiled and told nonsense.

However, in this ancient world, even Miao Yan could not refute him.
