Chapter 1259 Eastern Expedition
According to the regulations, the selected warriors take turns to go to the guards and be on duty according to the distance. There are six divisions in the Guide Camp, and the whole camp is divided into six shifts. Fans are divided into intra-state fan and out-of-state fan. The intra-state fan is usually on duty in the military camp, or guarding the state city, warehouse, port, pier, beacon pier, patrolling roads and other tasks. The time for one round is 15 days.
Outsiders usually go to San Francisco, the prefectural city, to serve as the guards of the prefectural city, the governor of the guard, the guard of the military town, the guard of the Fengdun, and the road patrol.
One round of the big round, and then one round of the small round.
In addition to being on duty, you also have to participate in military camp training. If there is a call for war, etc., click on it according to the military order.
Basically, Luzon warriors are equivalent to the government soldiers of the imperial court. They usually have to prepare their own weapons and have no money and food, but they can get a piece of military land. In addition, there are extra money and food subsidies for fan and recruiting, and they can also share spoils in battle, etc. .
Those who have meritorious service will also be awarded officials, honors, money, silk and land.
Samurai in Luzon belonged to the upper class of good people, and their status was higher than that of knights who were vassals.
In short, the benefits are very real. A samurai can become a conferred knight and become a feudal lord if he has made enough contributions.
Li Gong Zuoyuan was just a gold digger, and later became a member of the mine guard when the island bandits attacked, and was selected into the bandit suppression team, and became a local archer, and now he has become a selected warrior. The changed identity is not ordinary.
Li Zheng also immediately sent Li Gongzuo the land deed of 200 mu of military land according to the order of the government. The 200 mu of land can enjoy the privilege of exempting one-third of the land tax.
People in the village are very envious of Li Gongzuo. Although there are many people in this village who joined the team to encircle and suppress the islanders, only some of them have the status of archers. , just an ordinary new immigrant.
Although there are also knights and warriors, they do not live in this village. Because they have obtained a large amount of land, they all directly set up a village by themselves.
When Li Gongzuo's father first arrived, he was always somewhat restrained. When his son became a samurai, his slightly hunchback became much straighter, and his voice in the village became much louder.
The children and teenagers in the village were full of admiration for Li Gongzuo, and when they saw him, they followed him and shouted his name loudly.
After clicking on the warrior, Li Gongzuo quickly rushed to Zhoucheng. Zhoucheng is located in the middle reaches of Ningyuan River, and it is not located at the mouth of the sea. area.
After all, only such a state has been established in the Ningyuan River Basin, which is 700 miles away.
The Ningyuan Battalion was stationed not far from the city, and there were many battalions in Ningyuan Prefecture. Each battalion was composed of three regiments, with a total of 600 people. Basically, single arms are stationed. For example, the Ningyuan Battalion is an infantry battalion, while the Guide Battalion not far away is a cavalry battalion.
However, although a battalion of six hundred is established, the battalion is actually divided into warriors and knights.
Warriors are on the show, but knights are usually not on the show.
Li Gongzuo boarded a sailboat at the pier at the entrance of the village and reported to the Ningyuan Camp near the city of Ningyuan Prefecture two hundred miles upstream. As a newly selected warrior, he will receive a three-month intensive training from the camp coaches in the military camp, and then Go to the city of San Francisco to perform the first mission.
This mission is not included in the normal missions. After the initial training, the newly selected warriors will be pulled to San Francisco for a three-month training period. They will be stationed on the outskirts of the city for training and garrisoning. They will be personally inspected by the governor Qin Lang.
And in the review ceremony after the training camp, he was awarded the title, flag, designation, equipment and other ceremonies, and officially became a Luzon warrior.
On the sailing boat to Ningyuan City, the boatman saw the red scarf on his arm and knew that he was a newly selected warrior. He was very warm and polite to him, and took good care of him along the way.
When he arrived at the Ningyuan Camp, he saw this batch of newly selected warriors, a total of 100 people, two teams and one brigade. A team of heavy infantry and a team of light infantry.
Those who wear armor and hold spears are heavy infantry, and those who hold bows, crossbows, and shields are light infantry.
They will receive different professional training.
·······
The sails are full, and the big ship rides the wind and waves.
Li Gongzuo stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the plain that appeared in the distance, which was his new home, Ningyuan Fort.
After six months of polishing, the young Li Gongzuo is more upright, with more powerful tendons under his tanned skin.
After two rounds of six-month intensive training, Li Gongzuo officially became a Luzon warrior. He won the six-piece set of warriors including sword, bow, shield, armor, spear, and horse awarded by the Dudu Mansion.
And was awarded the rank of private second class.
In the army of the Luzon Metropolitan Government, the graded generals and schools still adopt the military officer rank of the court, but below the rank of graded officials, there is also a ninth grade without rank.
Historically, military officials in the Southern Song Dynasty had dozens of ranks other than military ranks, which can be regarded as military ranks. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Beiyang, imitating the military systems of foreign countries such as Prussia, also established a new military rank system.
Luzon is also below the ninth-rank military rank, with superiors, middles, lowers, sergeants, corporals, sergeants, first-class soldiers, second-class soldiers, and third-class soldiers.
These nine levels are outside the grade.
Among them, the third-level military assistants are non-combat technical professionals in the army, such as military doctors, craftsmen, veterinarians, and scribes.
But in normal management, training, and battles, these corporal leaders and team leaders are the backbone of the army. Therefore, Qin Lang specially has the ranks of coaches and instructors in the troops at all levels of his Luzon Dudufu. , similar to the chief of staff of later generations, who is responsible for management and training.
The task of combat command is handed over to the military town defense, battalion commanders, regimental lieutenants, and brigade leaders at all levels, while the daily management training is handed over to the coaches and instructors.
The non-commissioned officers at all levels acted as fire chiefs, corporal chiefs, and standard bearers to assist the instructor in managing the training team.
As for soldiers, they belong to the lowest ranks. After six months of intensive training, they will be officially awarded the rank of third-class soldier. After one year, they will be awarded the rank of second-class soldier. .
In order to be promoted to a corporal, not only must you have served for two years, but you must also have excellent professional skills, and you must be promoted after serving as a corps leader.
To be promoted to sergeant, at least one must be the chief of fire.
Fire chiefs with excellent management and command can be promoted to sergeant.
The nine ranks outside the ranks established by Qin Lang, also known as the nine ranks outside the ranks of officers, are also intended to strengthen the rank order in the army and differentiate the treatment at each level, so that soldiers can actively work hard to improve.
After Li Gongzuo completed six months of intensive training, he was officially awarded the rank of third-class soldier.
This belongs to the lowest rank among Luzon soldiers. His uniform has shoulder and arm ranks, and there are only three black folded bars.
However, at the review ceremony, Li Gongzuo showed Wei Gong his amazing archery skills, and was rewarded by Wei Gong once. Because of this performance, Wei Gong gave special instructions to transfer Li Gongzuo to the naval forces that went to conquer Baekje. .
The imperial court's conquest of Goguryeo and Baekje is about to begin. Luzon has received the imperial order to send ten large ships, two thousand sailors and ten thousand stone grains to the conquest.
Li Gongzuo became a member of the Luzon Eastern Expeditionary Army. Before the official dispatch of troops, he got a vacation and could return home to visit relatives.
The two thousand soldiers drawn from Luzon this time are all elites. In addition to the necessary sailors, the ten large ships also took a lot of soldiers.
There are both horse and step, and each battalion has five hundred cavalry. Li Gongzuo is the infantry archer of the right team of the first regiment and second brigade of the infantry battalion.
Li Gongzuo's family received his letter a few days earlier, and today the whole family was waiting at the village pier early.
Jumping off the boat with the burden on his back, Li Gongzuo found that his wife's belly was already very big.
When he left home, he didn’t know that his wife was pregnant. He only received a letter saying that he was pregnant when he was training in the Ningyuan military camp. In the past six months, he missed his parents very much, and even missed his newly married wife. He was concerned about the child in his wife’s womb.
Can't wait to hug his wife, and put his ears on his wife's swollen belly.
"I heard it, I heard his voice, it's really moving!"
The wife was a little shy, she reached out and touched her husband's face.
"Are you really going to war?"
"Well, originally I was not qualified to go as a recruit. During the review, my archery skills were appreciated by Duke Wei, so I was given this opportunity."
"But the baby is about to be born."
"I will be triumphant soon, maybe I will return victorious before the child is born. Goguryeo and Baekje are just small countries. This time, the Tang Dynasty will send troops to wipe them out. We in Luzon only send 2,000 soldiers to help. , the imperial court has assembled an army of 300,000 troops."
Li Gongzuo was very excited about the expedition, and he thought about it all the way. He felt that this was a rare opportunity. Only by going to battle can he have the opportunity to make meritorious service and win honors.
As long as you can win the honor, you will be considered as the lowest rank among Hachiro and Eight Lieutenants, and you will become a knight.
A knight is better than a warrior. It is a lord, and a small lord is also a lord. This is a hereditary noble.
He firmly believed that his wife was carrying a son, and he wanted to earn a hereditary knight title for the son who was about to be born.
"Can you take me there?"
Li Gongzuo's young brother asked, "I heard that when knights go out to war, they can bring their younger brothers and guards with them, and they can also make meritorious service and grab the spoils of war."
The young Li Gongfu didn't like doing farm work. He wanted to be a majestic warrior like his second brother, and even the wealthy and noble knight in the east of the village.
"I'm just a newly selected samurai. To be able to join the conscript this time is because of the dispensation issued by Duke Wei. I can't bring my children with me. Even the knights can't bring their children this time."
"Isn't it okay to volunteer?"
"No, this time it's the imperial court's conquest by the king's army, sending hundreds of thousands of troops. Everything is disciplined and well-mannered. Wherever it can be casual, our Luzon Mansion will send 2,000 troops, and there are regulations."
"Can I bring my own food?"
"Of course not. Next time, you can help with the farm work at home and practice archery with the village archers in your spare time. There will always be opportunities in the future. If I can bring someone next time, I will definitely bring you along."
