Chapter 159: Reforming the Military System



"Then let's do as the adults wish." Wang Shenghan sighed.

Once upon a time, these men were considered brave and good at fighting.

It’s a pity that the lax work style that permeated Wangchen County corrupted them, so that the soldiers who once aspired to serve the country became parasites.

Early in the morning, Chen Yunxuan and others gathered all the soldiers of Wangchen County to watch the military law.

The soldiers below took a look and found that the people tied up on the stage were the soldiers who had instigated them to cause trouble.

"This...what's going on with Lao Mi and the others?"

"They have been complaining for the past few days and even dragged us along to seek justice."

"Isn't this simply courting death?"

"Hey, isn't it because of General Wang's face?"

"That's right. After all, General Wang has always loved his soldiers like his own sons, unlike Zhang Yanwu."

The soldiers below were talking a lot, and then Yue Lingyun shouted "Silence", and the soldiers stopped moving.

Even after recruiting new soldiers, the army's lax style remained unchanged.

Wang Shenghan looked at his subordinates with whom he had worked for many years and finally made up his mind not to plead for them anymore.

If we continue to indulge them like this, it will only harm them.

Moreover, he had also experienced the defeat of the Wangchen County army by Zhang Yi, and felt it was a great shame.

If nothing changes, more innocent soldiers will die.

In the end, several people were sentenced to military law, expelled from the army, put on the Wangchen County blacklist, and even had their salaries fined.

Many soldiers were shocked when they saw the beating marks on the bodies of these troublemakers. This rarely happened before.

After the punishment, Lin Tongxi stood up.

"Everyone, I, Lin Tongxi, would like to say a few words!"

"Times are different now. The army is not a place for retirement."

"Brothers, what was your original intention in joining the army?"

"Is it for money? Or is it to serve the country and protect the people?"

Lin Tongxi spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner, which touched the hearts of many soldiers.

Indeed, the previous Wangchen County army was too cowardly, and the top leaders ignored them.

It was only when something happened that people remembered about this group of people.

With low income and limited promotion, many people are discouraged.

Wang Shenghan, who had been in the army longer, stood up and spoke up for Chen Yunxuan and the others: "Commendants, what you have said is absolutely right."

"We've been in a rut for too long, but there's nothing we can do about it. The environment was so bad before."

"Now that County Magistrate Chen and Commander Yue are here, the policy will be different!"

"I believe everyone has seen the recent changes. Our salaries have really improved."

The treatment Wang Shenghan mentioned here includes both income and social status in Wangchen County.

Under the policy guidance, the Wangchen County army and their families are treated with courtesy in the city.

If anyone bullies soldiers and their families, Feng Zibang and Yue Lingyun will join forces with the gentry to punish them.

"Brothers, Shenzhou is in turmoil now. Sooner or later, the flames of war will spread to our Xiangzhou."

"If your fists aren't strong, your family will suffer."

"Can you really bear to see your families affected by the flames of war?"

Wang Shenghan's question once again struck everyone's heart, making many of them feel ashamed. They had indeed been at ease for too long.

"Okay...that's all I have to say." Wang Shenghan stepped back and said no more.

After that, the morale of the Wangchen County army stabilized a lot.

Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan formally implemented military system reform, detailing recruitment, training, promotion, and treatment.

The military forces of Wangchen County gradually formed five parts: government troops, elite soldiers, soldiers, supervisors and guards, and volunteers.

The palace army is the personal guard, responsible for protecting the personal safety of the generals.

Elite soldiers are the elite of the army, responsible for carrying out difficult tasks such as assaults.

Soldiers are responsible for ordinary tasks, while supervisors are responsible for enforcing military discipline.

As for the volunteers, they are similar to militia and are registered in the county government. They only go out to fight in times of war and do their own work in peacetime.

In this way, the habits of the Wangchen County army gradually improved.

At the same time, Lin, Chen and Yue are also working hard to enhance the soldiers' sense of belonging to the army, and home visits are an important means of doing so.

In the afternoon, three distinguished guests arrived in a simple house.

"Zhaoshan! You're back!" Mrs. Wei immediately became happy when she saw her husband.

As for Wei Zhaoshan's children, they also rushed over and expressed their excitement.

"Be good!" Wei Zhaoshan picked up his children and introduced them to his three immediate superiors.

Seeing the three high-ranking officials, Mrs. Wei became excited, but she temporarily suppressed this impulse.

When she truly felt the concern of the three men, Madam Wei knelt down and pleaded, "Sir, please make a decision for us!"
