My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 13 Reorganization
Seeing this, Lu Yi nodded enthusiastically with satisfaction.

Then he said to Gao Shun, who was at the front of the crowd, "Brother Gao Shun, please make a list and register everyone one by one, including name, place of origin, age, face, body shape, specialties, and family members. All information must be clearly marked."

"Gao Shun obeys your command!" Gao Shun bowed to Lu Yi, then moved out tables, chairs, paper and pens from Lu Yi's room and immediately started working.

Lu Yi currently had no capable clerks under his command, so he could only conscript Gao Shun into the army temporarily. However, Gao Shun was a rigorous and meticulous person, so this little clerk's job was not difficult for him.

At this time, the first person who registered also came to Gao Shun and truthfully told all his information according to Lu Yi's previous requirements. Gao Shun immediately recorded the information in the book.

"Li Yong, a native of Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, was born in the second year of Yanxi. He has a fair face and no beard. He is seven feet and three inches tall. He is good at using a bow and arrow. He has an old mother, a younger brother and a younger sister at home..."

Lu Yi watched the entire process silently and gained a more complete understanding of Li Yong's situation.

Lu Yi adopted the recommendation system for recruitment this time. Only if the person had a certain reputation and ability in Bingzhou and was recognized by most people such as Lu Bu and Gao Shun, would Lu Yi send someone to invite him.

In addition to these, the most important point is people from poor families.

There is no way. Even if your family is too rich, they won't be stupid enough to risk their lives to go out to the border with you to do business. The foreign tribes and horse bandits outside the border are no joke. It is no exaggeration to say that they are wolves in human skin.

Therefore, Lu Yi knew most of the people who were summoned here. Registration was just a process to prevent possible problems. After all, words are not enough.

"I have written down all your information. Can you check here and now to see if there are any omissions or errors? If there are no problems, please sign on it!" After Gao Shun finished recording, he turned the book over and let Li Yong check it. The literacy rate at the end of the Han Dynasty was still good, and most people at that time knew some simple and commonly used characters. After Li Yong checked and found that there were no errors or omissions, he signed on the spot as evidence.

"Okay! Since brother Li Yong has joined us, this is your settling-in fee." Lu Yi clapped his hands in satisfaction, took the three and a half copper coins from Lu Bu and handed them to Li Yong himself.

This reward money is of great significance, and Lu Yi does not want to reduce his influence by asking others to do it.

The copper coins were all top-quality Wuzhu coins, each one was shiny and bright yellow in color, and their value far exceeded that of ordinary inferior coins.

This was the money that Lu Yi specially advanced from Zhang, and it was also one of the contracts between him and Zhang.

"Thank you for the reward, Brother Lu Yi. To be honest, my family has run out of food during this period. If it weren't for your help, my mother might not survive this spring!" Li Yong respectfully took the copper coins handed over by Lu Yi with tears in his eyes and was filled with gratitude.

A penny can make a hero fall, let alone 3400 high-quality Wuzhu coins. This amount of money is enough to buy 15 shi of grain, enough for a family of three for four or five months, and it solved his family's urgent needs.

Generally speaking, even if the imperial court recruited soldiers, it would not provide resettlement fees. The 3400 coins were actually the funeral expenses of ordinary soldiers who died in battle. Lu Yi knew very well that this border expedition was of great importance, so he would rather spend more money to reassure his men.

No matter how many means are used, none is as effective as directly giving money.

"Ah! In the future, we will all be brothers who eat from the same pot. As long as you work hard for me, Lu Yi will never let you down!"

Lu Yi calmed down the excited Li Yong. His courteous treatment of Li Yong greatly won him loyalty among the heroes present.

There were not many people who responded to the call, only about fifty or sixty. Lu Yi also made the invitation based on the number of people. If there were too many people, even the caravans outside the Great Wall would not be able to support them.

It took Gao Shun an hour to complete the registration of the knights.

In addition to Gao Shun, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng and others who had already surrendered to him, Lu Yi got a total of 60 people to join him, 20 of whom even brought their own horses.

Although these people were nominally just hired workers of the Lu Yi caravan, Lu Yi had long regarded these men who were good at riding and shooting and not lacking in bravery as the seeds of officers for his future army.

These knights who were related to each other were immediately disorganized and reorganized according to the military structure.

Among them, ordinary hired workers were called "men", which were equivalent to soldiers in the Han army. Among the five men, there was a "fuzhang", which was equivalent to a "wuzhang" in the Han army.

Erfu had a group leader in charge of 10 people, which was equivalent to the squad leader in the Han army.

Each of the five groups had a consul in charge of 50 people, which was equivalent to a captain in the Han army.

The second commander had a commander in charge of 100 people, which was equivalent to the garrison commander in the Han army.

The second commander had a chief in charge of 200 people, which was equivalent to a military marquis in the Han army.

There is no way. The laws of the court have not yet lost order. If Lu Yi does not want to raise the flag of rebellion immediately, it is better to cover it up.

But apart from the name, there is no difference between it and the Han army.

Moreover, compared with the army that nominally belongs only to the emperor, Lu Yi's troops will only be loyal to himself now and in the future.

As for senior positions, Lu Yi has not set them up yet. There are too few people now and there is no rush.

After setting up the organization, Lu Yi first set Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Hao Meng and others as cadres.

Among them, Lu Bu was appointed as consul because he was his younger brother and had outstanding martial virtues. Following closely behind him, Gao Shun was also appointed as consul because of his perfect loyalty and performance in history.

Consuls can enjoy a monthly salary of three thousand coins.

The other five, Cheng Lian, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Song Xian, were appointed as team leaders and enjoyed a monthly salary of 2000 coins.

Then, Lu Yi selected eight men with outstanding leadership abilities from among the 40 men without horses as foremen, and at the same time promoted all 20 men who brought their own horses to foremen, who were paid a monthly "salary" of coins.

after that.

Lu Yi divided the twenty cavalry captains into two groups and gave them to his second brother Lu Bu and Gao Shun respectively.

In the era of cold weapons, the cavalry was extremely powerful and had to be commanded by the person Lu Yi trusted the most.

Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu and Song Xian each led two men and 10 infantrymen.

In this way, all the staff were reorganized.

As for Cheng Lian who was omitted, as his name suggests, he was honest by nature, and in history he was loyal to Lu Bu and eventually died on the battlefield. Lu Yi had other plans.

Although the organization problem was solved, it still could not be called an army without flags, drums and music.

However, Lu Yi currently has only more than 60 people under his command and does not need such a complicated command system for the time being.

After continuing to train in Wuyuan County for two days and waiting for the team to have initial integration, Lu Yi led them to Mayi.

There, he will complete the final integration work and lead the caravan out of the border to embark on an unknown journey.
