With 100,000 elite soldiers at the start, what should you call me?

……

Measuring and dividing the land would certainly offend many people.

But those who have been offended are ultimately a minority. If problems arise, the worst that can happen is that a single shot will solve the problem.

Li Tian does not need aristocratic families to manage government affairs.

Now, most of the 100,000 elite warriors have been transferred to other posts, such as government positions, government officials, and command positions.

The role gradually shifted from "military general" to "civil official".

"There are other people to take care of the farmland. I need to be in charge of the overall situation. I can't possibly take care of everything personally, and there's still a lot of work to be done."

Li Tian was extremely busy, as he had a lot of spoils to work on, and these spoils needed to be processed immediately.

The first issue is the prisoners of war.

People are the foundation of any major national affair.

Once a problem arises, the root cause is an irreconcilable conflict between people.

"Yonghao, what do you think we should do with these 50,000 people?" Li Tian already had a plan in mind, but he still wanted to hear his subordinates' opinions.

"Commander, the General Staff already has a comprehensive plan for these 50,000 prisoners."

Zhang Yonghao produced the proposal documents.

"After discussion, the General Staff recommended that these 50,000 men be incorporated into our army. This incorporation does not mean that they are officially joined our army."

"Instead, these 50,000 people were placed under direct military management. Those who were physically strong and had decent military skills were reorganized into the army, while the ordinary elderly and weak were sent to labor reform. In their spare time, they were engaged in farming, land reclamation, blacksmithing, and water conservancy construction. In wartime, they were used to transport supplies, construct public buildings, and build city walls."

Li Tian was very satisfied with the comprehensive plan, which was even more perfect than he had imagined.

After they captured Jianning Prefecture, large tracts of land needed to be cultivated, workshops needed workers to assist them, fertile land needed to be reclaimed, collapsed city walls needed to be repaired, and many other things needed to be done.

"Very good, proceed according to your plan. However, this comprehensive plan needs to be supplemented with one more thing: break up and reorganize these people. In the newly formed army, more than 90% of the positions at the captain level and above should be held by my new army brothers. The key positions of battalion commander and regimental commander must be our people."

"Furthermore, the cavalry battalions will be organized according to the cavalry battalions of the First Army of Longxiang. We will only provide fire support and the cavalry will not charge forward to fight."

After the Battle of Xiaosongxi, Li Tian captured 6,000 warhorses. If organized according to the ancient elite cavalry formation, these 6,000 warhorses could only form 2,000 or 3,000 cavalrymen.

Elite cavalrymen typically rode two or three horses.

Based on the captured warhorses, Li Tian estimated that Chen Jin's cavalry should have a configuration of one man and three horses.

One horse carries the armor, another travels the road, and the last horse, full of energy, is used for charging in battle.

But the cavalry of the new army was different. The horses were used to deliver firepower, so only one person and one horse were needed.

Unless tactical infiltration is involved, a situation requiring one person to ride two horses is not necessary.

Zhang Yonghao was prepared. As soon as Li Tian gave the order, he immediately arranged for people to reorganize the prisoners.

First, there was a screening process. Of the 50,000 people, the elderly, the weak, and those with poor military skills were eliminated, leaving only 25,000.

These 2.5 people will be assigned to other departments, which is why Zhang Yonghao deliberately adopted such a strict selection process.

The remaining 2.5 men were first used to fill the first army of Longxiang.

The vanguard battalion, rear guard battalion, siege engine battalion, and cavalry battalion were all expanded to two thousand men.

All newly formed units were reorganized according to the size of these four battalions.

The remaining 20,000-plus men were reorganized into the Second, Third, and Fourth Armies of the Longxiang Army.

Each army consists of four battalions, totaling 8,000 men. The Longxiang Fourth Army, however, currently only has 5,000 men, and will have to replenish its ranks on its own.

With these four Dragon Soaring Armies, Li Tian will no longer need to send his 100,000 elite soldiers directly into danger in future battles.

"Commander, after a comprehensive survey of the educational backgrounds of our military personnel, here is the information for all our personnel, which has been categorized for you according to their educational background."

At this moment, a civilian staff member brought over several stacks of documents, which contained the personal information of 100,000 suicide soldiers.

There are five stacks in total, arranged from left to right: secondary vocational school, junior college, bachelor's degree, master's degree, and doctoral degree.

After occupying Jianning Prefecture, Li Tian arranged for a thorough investigation into the educational background of the 100,000 elite soldiers.

They wanted to understand the true level of their unit.

This will also make it easier to arrange manpower in the future and assign them to various positions in a reasonable manner.

It took a lot of time to process the information of 100,000 people. The information they filled in was very simple: name, age, education, what they had done, and what they were good at.

"Commander, this is a chart showing the educational background of soldiers. Those with a bachelor's degree or above make up about 8% of our army, which is only about 8,000 people. Those with a junior college degree make up the largest proportion, at 65%, and those with a vocational school diploma make up about 27%."

Li Tian took the chart and glanced at it casually.

He did not discriminate based on educational background; the reason for categorizing them was simply to facilitate the selection of talent.

After all, his army is composed of very young people. As long as they have good learning abilities, it is not impossible for them to surpass others step by step in the future.

Just like the saying before the time travel, a good undergraduate degree is no worse than a junior college degree.

However, talented individuals are more likely to be those with a bachelor's degree or higher, especially those in mathematics.

Li Tian took a closer look at the stack of personal information for doctoral students, which numbered about two hundred.

The upper half consists of science students, and the lower half consists of humanities students.

Li Tian discovered that the higher the educational level, the higher the proportion of science students.

Among them are more than 20 doctoral students in the Department of Mathematics, more than 50 doctoral students in the Department of Physics, and more than 30 doctoral students in the Department of Biology.

Li Tian will establish a research lab in the future, allowing these geniuses to continue to shine, and they will be given priority in leading future research projects.

There are two more tables: one shows the percentage of students admitted to arts and sciences programs, and the other shows the percentage of students admitted to arts and sciences programs at each stage of their academic education.

Overall, science subjects accounted for 81.6% of the total.

The large proportion of science students recruited by Li Tian drew his attention even more.

After all, science students are indispensable for technological development, production and construction, and post-war production recovery. Even some senior management positions fall under the science category, since those who are not good at math simply cannot understand some data.

Of course, liberal arts students are also very important. They are indispensable in cultural inheritance, the dissemination of ideas, the drafting of laws, and the development of humanities.

Just as Li Tian was pondering how to utilize the talents under his command, a person hurriedly approached.

This man's name is Weiqiang. He was promoted to be Li Tianxin's secretary. He would be responsible for reporting work, organizing documents, and recording itineraries. After all, Zhang Yonghao was the deputy army commander, and it was impossible for him to report to him like a secretary all the time.

"Commander, there's something I need to tell you. The soldiers below are saying they want the money of this era and want to spend it."

"Qian Yao... I will handle this matter in one go. You first arrange for some people to count what the people in the army need to buy, and then buy it for them in one go."

Li Tian gave the instructions, and then took out an identity information form.

Name: Qian Weicai.

Education: Doctor of Public Finance.
