    Chapter 403: Expanding Strength

    Gao He was self-aware and could guess what everyone was thinking. He immediately said: "Your Highness, I will be grateful for your kindness, but I, a defeated general, am not qualified to take on this important task. Please choose someone else to take on this important task."  Heavy responsibility.¡±

    Li Zhen smiled and said: "There is no one more suitable than you. I have inquired about you. You love the people like a son in Pingzhou and are well-known among the people. You are also a rare general who can be surrounded by Xi people."  I have been guarding Pingzhou alone for half a year, so the position of governor of Pingzhou belongs to you."

    "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. Even though the general is a mess, he will never give up!"

    After listening to Li Zhen¡¯s words, Gao He was moved to tears.

    In fact, this is Li Zhen's way of employing people. He does not trust those he employs and does not use those he doubts. He has judged from Gao He's actions that Gao He is definitely not that kind of capricious villain.

    To this end, Li Zhen also used the system to check Gao He's loyalty. It turned out that Gao He's loyalty was originally above 80. After these few words of his own, it was directly raised to 95.

    This kind of loyalty is higher than that of ordinary generals.

    Therefore, Li Zhen was very relieved to hand over Pingzhou to Gao He, and Gao He was familiar with the situation in Pingzhou. There was really no one present who could compare with him.

    But Li Zhen made a request, that is, Pingzhou's army must be transformed, and then each brigade and above at the grassroots level should be equipped with an officer in charge of ideology and logistics as a deputy.

    And the Pingzhou army will be trained for a month.

    Gao He naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and Li Zhen asked Wang Fangyi to send a hundred outstanding students to Pingzhou to transform Pingzhou's army and make them loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to themselves.

    Wang Fangyi did not dare to neglect, and immediately dispatched Lou Shide, Hei Te Changzhi, Cheng Wuting and other outstanding students to Pingzhou.

    Most of these students have not studied for a long time, but they are ideologically reliable and have mastered the training methods. As for commanding operations, they can only read the textbooks and explore in actual combat.

    Lou Shide, Hei Chi Changzhi, and Cheng Wu Ting were the best among these students, so they were all sent to the army to serve as Lieutenant Commander Guoyi.

    ?? This Captain Guo Yi is one level higher than the Captain of the Regiment School. He is also a deputy, but he can oversee four or five regiments and has thousands of people under his command. For the three of them, it can definitely be regarded as a promotion.

    Not only the three of them, but also the rest of the students were promoted, so the students who were sent out were the envy of other students.

    And Li Zhen's idea is also very effective, which is to use these military academy cadets as fire to pass on the thoughts and ideas of loyalty to the country and loyalty to oneself to every officer and soldier, so that the minds of officers and soldiers can be purified, thereby increasing the loyalty of the army.  speed and combat effectiveness.

    After Gao He left, Li Zhen rewarded Xue Rengui, Chen Xingwu, and Wang Fangyi. However, Li Zhen could feel that the generals who did not go on the expedition this time, including Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu, were a little unhappy.

    Li Zhen understood what they were thinking at a glance. Xue Rengui was already the governor of Yingzhou. This time he captured Pingzhou, but he made Gao He the governor. Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu and others were wondering when they could  What about getting ahead and becoming a governor?

    Li Zhen called Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu to him alone, and said sincerely: "I know you two are eager to make contributions, but the time has not come yet. You must train your troops well during this period. After the autumn, it will be the time to use your troops.  At that time, we can march into Youzhou and Jizhou and capture Youzhou and Jizhou, both of you are governors!"

    After hearing what Li Zhen said, Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu were overjoyed.

    Zhou Qing smiled from ear to ear and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will train our troops well and make a success when we attack Youzhou and Jizhou."

    Xue Xiantu also said: "Since His Highness believes in us so much, we will not let His Highness down, and we will definitely bring out the troops to show His Highness."

    Zhou Qing and Xue Xiantu left happily. They were very excited after receiving Li Zhen's promise.

    Li Zhen was thinking that it was already July. In two months, the autumn would be clear and crisp. Once the grain was harvested and with sufficient logistical support, he would be able to attack Youzhou, Jizhou and Mohe with all his strength.

    These two months are a critical period. First of all, the production of muskets, grenades and Franconing cannons must be accelerated. Now the scale of firearms production in Liaodong Prefecture has continued to expand. It can produce a thousand muskets and fifteen guns every month.  Small caliber Fran cannon.

    Secondly, we should use the slack agricultural season to train the militia.

    Current camp?Compulsory military service has been implemented.

    When young people reach the age of eighteen to twenty, they are obliged to perform military service. The service period is five years, and they retire after five years. A group of soldiers of a new year are recruited every year, and a group of soldiers who have completed their service period are retired.

    At the same time, a recruitment system is implemented. Anyone who is physically able, has a skill, or is brave in combat can continue to serve in the military. This is recruitment.

    However, the treatment of recruited soldiers is better than that of compulsory soldiers. Because they have served for a long time and have combat experience, they will become the backbone of the battle.

    This year, the first batch of compulsory military service began. Li Zhen recruited a total of 30,000 conscripts. After training, a group was eliminated, and a group of unqualified soldiers in the original army were eliminated.

    As a result, the total number of soldiers in Yingzhou, Liaodong Peninsula and Korean Peninsula remains at around 80,000.

    This scale is not large, but it is not small either. The reason why it remains around 80,000 people is because Yingzhou¡¯s current population and production capacity can supply up to hundreds of thousands of soldiers. However, this will place too much burden on the people.

    " Keeping the total number of soldiers at around 80,000 people can greatly reduce the burden on the people. At the same time, we can also implement a military elite policy and invest limited material and financial resources into existing personnel, which can improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

    And Pingzhou occupied by Gao He once again had 10,000 troops after eliminating the old and weak and expanding the young and strong. Counting this army, Li Zhen had 90,000 troops.

    After the ideological education and training of the military academy cadets, as well as the strengthening of equipment and treatment, the combat effectiveness of these 10,000 soldiers has skyrocketed, their loyalty to Li Zhen has been greatly strengthened, and they are truly in Li Zhen's hands.

    Li Zhen thinks that the military academy¡¯s method is very good, and can strengthen the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the army in a short period of time.

    At that moment, Li Zhen asked Wang Fangyi to recruit the second batch of students immediately without waiting another year. If the number of this second batch of students is several times that of the first batch, reaching 700, this batch of students will form an independent army, composed of the first batch.  Cadets serve as officers at all levels, forming a student army with high loyalty and strong combat effectiveness.

    This student army all uses firearms such as muskets, Franning artillery, Yiguofei and other firearms. It has strong combat effectiveness and will become Li Zhen¡¯s biggest trump card (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
