877 Ranch

Yanmen Pass, the gate of the city. It has become a gathering place for important information, and relevant announcements will be published here. Although there are also in the newspapers. However, there is still a large number of people gathered here, most of whom are herders. Many of them are herders who have just received their IRA identification, and they are also members of the Republican Army.

The reason why such documents are issued to herdsmen is entirely the need of the Republican Army, which has established a horse breeding base in Yanmen Pass, and the Republican Army needs a large number of horses to form its own cavalry, but they lack experienced people to deal with such things. In addition, there are a large number of herders outside the city, who are not only unable to survive, but also lack a job, two problems. Add in one piece. The authorities had to come up with such a policy in order to attract some people to join in. In this way, more needs and development of the Republican Army can be met to the greatest extent.

In fact, there is a demand for such people in the market, for example, butchers. The butcher of the assembly line, it seems, is very suitable for the herdsmen, and the manual laborers, and the railway stations and freight warehouses need more cheap labor, and the natives will not do this kind of over-toil life, and in doing so, it will cause them too much, too much trouble, and in such a case, their losses will become extremely large. And the herders, they have become the best source of cheap labor, their costs are very low, and they don't even have to pay for some disabilities. Most of them are legally illiterate. Labor costs are extremely low.

This is also an important reason for the authorities to introduce a policy to attract these people. Of course, this is also an important approach for the stabilization authorities.

But more to serve the military. The Army of the Republican Army is stepping up reforms. In the past, they relied on infantry and artillery. Now the Republican Army wants to let the infantry ride in horse-drawn carriages, and their artillery pulls horses more, than in the past, they actually use oxen to pull their artillery. This has indeed happened in the past, artillery has become more and more abundant, but there are not enough horses, and coupled with the squeeze on civilian transportation costs, the army lacks more horses.

Therefore, there is still a large gap in the demand for horses. To know. In Dong Zhuo's army in the south, there were also quite a few artillery pieces that used oxen to pull them.

To increase the mobility of army units, as well as speed, a large number of horse farms were created. It's a last resort. Not only did the IRA need it itself, but the civilian market needed such a large number of horses. Without these, the number of horses in the Republican Army would be greatly reduced to an astonishing extent, and the most definitely situation that the Republican Army did not want to see, so in such a situation, if you want to have greater development, the best way is to raise horses, cattle and sheep yourself.

Ah Niu listened nervously in the crowd. He only knew some Zhongyuan dialects, there was no problem with simple communication, it was too complicated, and he couldn't understand it.

Ah Niu was a herdsman of a small tribe, and at that time, he still had some of his own cattle and sheep, but later, the tribe was gone. The leader seemed to have been killed. Then, the tribe was in chaos. Everything about him is gone.

Then, he joined the Confederate army and fought among the Confederate forces. By killing the enemy. He killed two attacking Huns and received a good reward. It gave him about twenty dollars. It was a lot of money, and he bought cattle and sheep, but it was not enough to buy horses.

Then the war ended. He also retired from the Confederate army. But these are still not enough to live. So, he went to the train station to load and unload, and became a small loading and unloading head. He had about a dozen people, and with that, he had some good savings. He wanted to use the money to buy ranch.

Because of the continuous expansion of pastures outside the city, there may be conflicts near the Huns, so the price is low and the conditions are restrictive, for example, there is a certain family property, the family is in the city, or the location near the city wall. There are performances of service, meritorious service, and so on. He met all these conditions. Ah Niu found a person from the Central Plains and helped write a report on his behalf, and he copied a copy of the report himself, which must be submitted by himself.

Now, it's time for results. However, many people do not know their names, which is an inevitable measure for the Republican Army to promote the text, otherwise, there would be no special statement for me to submit. Many of the herder's children go to school outside the city and inside the city. Future children must know words and speak the original dialect.

"Ah Niu." Ah Niu suddenly heard his name, but soon the official just read his name once, and then announced the name of the next person. Ah Niu couldn't believe it, he quickly ran to the clerk to confirm, the clerk nodded, said it was true, and then issued him the relevant certificate. He had fifty acres of his own pasture. Not very big. But for him, enough is enough. He even, as long as he has thirty acres. That's the most money he took out. It was all pieced together by his men.

For herders, having their own pasture is the most important thing.

Why there were twenty more acres, he himself did not understand. Because the clerk couldn't explain it to him. In fact, the soldiers who participated in the Confederate army had a part of the bond. It's just that many people don't know these things. They simply didn't know these things existed. Because most of them are distributed anonymously, the military just saves them up.

Ah Niu is very happy that he finally has a piece of his own pasture. And there were many other people who were happy with him, and they all cried. Because many people were at the bottom of the tribe before, and there were no cattle and sheep, let alone pastures. Ranching means they have their own property. The good news is still to come, in order to give their pastures a certain guarantee, the authorities also issued them weapons, in fact, they are all weapons provided by the Republican Army to the Alliance, many weapons lack a certain amount of maintenance, and have reached a state of near scrapping, but these can still be used, and, to ensure the pasture, it is necessary to have a certain amount of armed force, no matter what, the herdsmen are very happy, they are very grateful for the new **, because these have allowed them to have pastures.

The practice of the IRA in distributing pastures is a practice that is very conducive to control and restore the ranch economy.

For those pastures, the republicans could not arrange for the locals to go to grazing, they had no interest in it, they were interested in factories, trade. There is no way but to distribute these pastures to those people, but the number of pastures is not very much, but it is enough to appease people's hearts, I heard about such a thing, many herdsmen work actively, they hope that through their own hands, they can get a piece of their own pasture, the pasture is written with their own name, which is full of temptation for any herdsman.

The Republican Army not only restored the economy of the ranch, but also obtained more cattle, sheep and horses through the private market. This is an extremely beneficial way for the economy to recover.

More importantly, in this way, more herders can be brought together and reorganized. This is a favorable model, the model of the IRA expanding the ranch.

Through trade, the IRA will gain more land, and the best way to control this land is they have explored.

Zhang Liao sat by the warm fire, writing something.

It seems that the battle for the south is about to begin. Zhang Liao has such a feeling. Such an order has already been given from above. Let them draw a grenadier battalion to fight in the south, and they may form a mixed battalion. There were cavalry units, grenadiers, and other auxiliaries, which was an exchange within the Republican Army.

After all, fighting in the North is completely different from fighting in the South, and the troops in the South, most of which are new, are receiving the classic tactics of the Republican Army, infantry, artillery, a serious lack of cavalry, and other new branches of the army.

Although the number of troops drawn is not very large, most of them are experimental, and they will draw these troops to test their performance in the South.

Zhang Liao had a headache. Because of the serious shortage of grenadiers, he drew a maximum of two hundred men, and the newly formed cavalry, mixed with some herdsmen, was highly skilled. But there is a lack of training in firearms. And the Republican army's own cavalry has nothing to do with the horses, they are like a fool, they still have nothing to do with the horses, so to speak, the combat effectiveness is very poor.

More grenadiers are leaving. The attraction of the ranch is very great. And for the salary of being a soldier. Most of them are dismissive.

The grenadiers were the only good thing that the North could take out. Most of them are brave, but the disadvantage is that the use of firearms is not in quantity, they are armed with smoothbore firearms, but usually only one or two shots. They did not have uniform uniforms, and the overcoats they were issued were extremely dirty, and they had weapons pinned to them that they felt they were handy.

Cheap, delicate knives. Delicate knives are used for eating. And axes. This thing is more convenient and cheaper than knives, and is a common favorite of grenadiers. And the hands**. There are a lot of equipment, and usually they will find a leather bag to carry in the back, or in a satchel. They are a lot of the time. Doing things is extremely freewheeling. In short, they like to come how they like. It all depends on the mood.

In terms of battlefield discipline, Zhang Liao was very worried about this. The gendarmes can control for a while, but when they fight, who knows what they will do. They are all bold and petty thieves. When collecting loot, it's crazy. That's their pros and cons.
