I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Professional army?

Huo Guang was taken aback by these four words, this was a direction he had never thought of.

In fact, it wasn't just him. The feudal dynasty lasted for so long, and few dynasties were able to build a professional army.

Seeing that Huo Guang didn't seem to understand, Liu Tan explained: "It's an army dedicated to defending the country. What they need to do on weekdays is to polish themselves and the entire team. They are the sharp blades of the Northern Kingdom!"

Huo Guang was shocked by him, it was specially used for war, which was too shocking.

Huo Guang asked solemnly, "Have you thought about it? Are you really going to do this?"

No one has done this before, so if Liu Tan does this, there will be mixed results. If the result is good, it will become a solid wall on the border of the Han Dynasty. If he has a different heart, he may end up miserable.

Sitting there, Liu Tan said solemnly: "I've thought about it for a long time, and I know that I will take risks, so I will write to my father and His Royal Highness to make it clear, but this idea will not change. Whether it is good or bad is my responsibility."

Huo Guang said casually: "Since you think about it, do it. As for the responsibility... As the Prime Minister of the country, since I agree, then the responsibility cannot be escaped, so there is no need to talk about it."

Liu Tan smiled. The reason why he dared to tell Huo Guang was because he knew that although Huo Guang seemed to do things well, he was actually not such a rigid person. He was just too used to arranging everything in an orderly manner.

So when doing it, he is not in a hurry and methodical, which is one of the reasons why people think he is too stable.

Liu Tan said: "Military expenses will be paid from the part of the tax that needs to be paid to me. Well, the money for making sights before should not be used up?"

Huo Guang felt a little powerless after hearing this. His Royal Highness's hobby is too special. He is really the most powerful among the princes and kings when it comes to burning money, but he still can't persuade him.

Finally, Huo Guang said: "This matter is just a whim of His Majesty, even if His Highness can persist, you have to give it a try first, so in my opinion, you can not write letters to Your Majesty and the Prince for the time being, and there is no need to make a big fuss in the northern border." To recruit troops across the country, let’s delineate a few places first, such as Dunhuang County, Beidi County, and Xi’an Yang County, which are relatively close to Shuofang.”

When Liu Tan heard Xi'an Yangjun, he suddenly remembered Sang Qian, who was thrown there by him to act as the acting governor, and asked, "How is Sang Qian now?"

Huo Guang smiled: "As expected of being the son of Da Si Nong, he manages a county in an orderly manner, at least better than the previous county guard."

Liu Tan stroked his chin and said, "It's a pity that letting him serve as the sheriff is a demotion, otherwise I really want him to be the sheriff there."

Huo Guang said: "What's so difficult about it? Just give him a title, and the grade is still that grade, but the real job is the county guard. Give him a salary according to the title."

Liu Tan thought about it for a while, but it's not impossible, but the problem is that this method is fine for people with no background, but for Sang Qian... Liu Tan is also very worried that Sang Qian will write to Sang Hongyang to complain, and Sang Hongyang will turn around Yang made trouble for him in Chang'an.

Now he has Liu Quyu as an enemy of the prime minister, and he doesn't want to add another big minister.

But Huo Guang's proposal really moved him, and he finally said simply: "Anyway, Xi'an Yang County is not far from our place, so why not let him come over for a job report, and I'll ask him what he thinks."

Huo Guang nodded and continued: "In this case, Your Highness should recruit 1000 people at the beginning."

Seeing that Liu Tan was about to speak, Huo Guang said: "Your Highness, don't feel that it is too little, let these 1000 people reach your goal first, and let the ministers think it is feasible before we talk about it."

Liu Tan thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason. He knew how powerful this kind of professional soldiers were, but Huo Guang and the others didn't know, so they would doubt whether it was worth spending so much money to support these people.

What's more, they may not be able to imagine how to train.

You must know that in the current situation, recruits and veterans are generally mixed and go directly to the battlefield. After one or two fights and survived, then they are experienced and veterans.

So at this time, the so-called master of a hundred battles may actually be composed of a group of Ouhuang, who can survive countless times on the battlefield where various accidents may occur.

Liu Tan said confidently: "Don't worry, I will definitely surprise you."

Although there were only 1000 people, it was much better than what Liu Tan thought before. Originally, Liu Tan thought that Huo Guang would disagree, so he was ready to argue hard.

Unexpectedly, Huo Guang had almost no objection, but his always cautious personality made him stop Liu Tan's idea of ​​recruiting too many soldiers at once.

After Huo Guang left, Liu Tan turned around and began to write the training plan.

The first thing to consider is the conditions for recruiting soldiers. If there are only 1000 people, he wants to follow the elite soldier policy.

First of all, according to the current average life expectancy, people over the age of 30 are not allowed, and people shorter than five feet nine inches are not allowed.

Converting this height to later generations is about 1.6 meters five.

This height is indeed not enough for future generations and may even be ridiculed for being short, but it is very suitable for the present, not to mention that this is the bottom line and Liu Tan should not choose the guard of honor.

Then there are no people with disabilities, no criminals, no people with Xiongnu blood.

The last point Liu Tan hesitated for a long time and finally settled down. There are many mixed bloods in the northern border country or near Shuofang City.

After all, he had been on the front line facing the Huns for many years before, some young ladies were taken away by Lu and then escaped, and some were not taken away at all.

In this era, there is no concept of abortion. Even ordinary people would not choose to do so. A smooth birth without abortion is just an extra burden. Abortion is likely to kill two lives.

It was true that they were all poor people, but it was also true that Liu Tan couldn't afford to gamble.

If a white-eyed wolf sneaks in and becomes an officer again, and his biological father finds him, who happens to be powerful and powerful in the Huns, he may betray him on the spot.

Liu Tan has a lot of secret weapons in his hands, and if one leaked out, he would be able to drink a pot.

The combination of these conditions can basically determine that he is a good citizen with an innocent net worth. As for the conditions of political trial and three generations of direct blood relatives not being able to commit crimes, there is basically no need.

Sitting together is popular these days, you don't need to worry about minor crimes, and the whole family is gone for major crimes, even if the little man is not old enough to be killed, he will be thrown into slavery, so don't worry.

Then there is physical fitness, and people who are not good enough in physical fitness are not required. As for the physical fitness assessment, Liu Tan has already thought about push-ups, pull-ups, sprints and long-distance running.

As for the others, as long as they can meet the standard, they will be accepted, and the rest will be left for training.

In other words, if you recruit someone who knows everything, what do you need to train for?

As for the training plan, Liu Tan had to put it aside.

After he finished writing this, he pulled out a document from the desk, which contained all the things he wrote to do.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He has to write down everything he has to do so as not to miss it.

It's a pity that the plan is not as fast as the change. According to his original plan, the conscription and the like will not be so early.

As long as the surrendered city doesn't hold back, Shuofang City actually doesn't have much to do, the most it can do is to support the army, so the development of people's livelihood and economy is the last word.

Just keep things like fighting the Xiongnu in mind. A steady player like Liu Tan will not go head-to-head without absolute strength.

To put it simply, it is wretched development, don't waste it.

Then he was broken by Liu Che's edict. Now he can only pray that Zhao Ponu can correct his mentality after being crushed and humiliated by Lu Xuan in Dawan, and at the same time work hard to bring the development of armed forces to the top.

He took a look at his plan, the development of armed forces was originally planned by him five years later, but the result was abruptly mentioned for five years, which is bad enough.

On the third day after the city wall of Shuofang City was built, Zhao Puonu finally arrived with his [-] troops.
