Chapter 156: Reinforcements (First Update, Asking for Support)
For the immigrants who came to Java and Xin'an with the king of Qin, the natives are ubiquitous, although the Ming Dynasty had made the natives of Nanyang realize the strength of the Ming Dynasty more than two hundred years ago, but for them, the current Qin State is still an invader who dared to break into this time.
From the day they built Xin'an City near Semarang, from the day when the King of Qin distributed land to the Qin army and people according to their official positions, the conflict with the natives became inevitable, although the Sultan or the Supreme Sultan did not dare to attack the Qin State because of the fear of the Ming Dynasty, but there were still many natives who spontaneously attacked the Qin army and civilians, especially for those pioneers in remote areas, the natives were the biggest threat.
Unlike the Gui State, which used the market as its base, the villages of the Qin State were often simple "cottages", and in addition to building a wall with wooden walls, a simple moat would be dug around the village. Whenever the natives attacked, they had to attack each village as if they were attacking a city. In addition to making their attack more difficult, the clock tower in the village will also sound an alarm, and the nearby villages, upon receiving the alarm, will immediately gather their soldiers and gather reinforcements for the attacked village.
Perhaps the lord of Qin is the king of Shoucheng, but with this seemingly conservative "Shoucheng", it has also made Qin a copper bowl bean that will break his teeth when he bites it. And this copper bowl bean is most proud of, probably because of the mobilization speed of its national soldiers.
The mobilization system of the Qin State was established by Li Yunjie, which was a set of orders issued through the rhythm of the bells, and the distance between villages was also limited to the distance of the bells.
When the bell rang, Wen Jiayu was still working in the field, although he was deceived at the Ningbo wharf, he was coincidentally, he was still left by the prime minister, became a soldier of Qin, and other soldiers, after arriving in Qin, he was assigned 100 acres of paddy field, but this paddy field is said to be a paddy field, in fact, it is a piece of land that is only a lot of land, and this land needs him to reclaim.
Like many people, Wen Jiayu has always hoped to have more slaves and maids, and then drive them to farm for him, but the price of slaves and maids is not cheap, and the so-called "sealing the land and giving slaves" is, in fact, that is to say. The field is a wasteland, and slaves must either exchange it for military merit or rob it themselves.
He had a slave and maid, but it was not in exchange for military merit, but a "wild man" who went into the nearby rainforest with his comrades-in-arms to rob, and although he only robbed about 30 "wild men" that time, Wen Jiayu still got a slave and a maid - a child who was only 11 years old.
"Master, the bell, the bell is ringing."
Wen Wu, who listened to the bell, hurriedly reported to the Wen family. Wen Wu is his slave, but it is not the one that was plundered at the beginning, but exchanged for it in the human market, and he is only nine years old, but he is extremely tame and has no wildness at all.
"Wen Wu, this time, the family will be handed over to me, don't be lazy, otherwise, when I come back, I won't spare you!"
Although he gave his slave the name of Wen Wu, Wen Jiayu's tone was still extremely harsh, which was told to him by the commanders, to treat these people in fear first, and then to show a little favor, if they blindly gave favors, they would only make them back.
"Master, rest assured, Wen Wu will never let the master down."
When Wen Jiayu left the field, he glanced back and saw Wen Wu continuing to work in the field, sighed in his heart, and then carried the fire gun and ran towards home, he needed to go home and change into armor, the armor can withstand most of the weapons of the wild people, every time they break into the rain forest to catch the wild people, it is because of the armor on their bodies that each death and injury will be ignored.
By the time Wen Jiayu ran back to the village, the other six brothers in the village had already dressed.
"I'm waiting for you, the armor has been taken out for you, hurry up and change it on, hurry up. If you listen to this bell, something must be wrong. ”
When the group of seven people came to the bazaar, they finally knew why they had assembled, not because the savages attacked, but because Ma Da Lan wanted to destroy the Gui Kingdom, and they wanted to take the opportunity to attack Ma Da Lan.
"My good man, you say, if we beat the horse down this time, how much will that person score? One, two? I guess no matter what, I'll score three or five. ”
"Three or five? Actually, I don't want anything else, I just want a girl. ”
They had never been afraid of the savages, and when they heard that they were going to destroy other people's kingdoms, the brothers who had gathered were not afraid, but there they were talking about what good this battle would bring them, after all, they had long been accustomed to attacking each other with the savages.
Maybe Madalan is a country, but for them, it is still the object of plunder, of course, the reason why there is this mentality is entirely thanks to that Linping Jun, because of his advocacy, it is legal for soldiers to plunder slaves privately. Compared with Gui and other countries that relied on military merits to distribute slaves and maids, Qin soldiers could spontaneously assemble their teams and capture savages as slaves during their stay in the township, which could be used for their own use or exchanged in the market. And they often choose the latter, because the latter is often exchanged for well-tamed slaves and maids, who can be used with peace of mind when they return home, without worrying about their resistance.
Because of this, they are even more contemptuous of savages, there will be any worries, and even think that those people are just a group of slaves.
"Sir, this time the troops are gathered by the national dynasty, is that considered the service period?"
Compared with the resistance of the savages, for them, they are more concerned about the service period, according to the service system of the Qin State, the national soldiers serve for half a year every two years, and the other one and a half years are soldiers in the township, although the service period of half a year is very short, but they are often unable to take care of the harvest in the field, so they will ask this, after all, everyone knows that this dispatch is probably not over in ten days and half a month, maybe it may take one or two months, or even longer.
"The service period has nothing to do with conscription, but everyone can rest assured, after the end of this battle, the king will definitely have a heavy reward for everyone, and when the time comes, the gongtian will be small, maybe the brothers, see that everyone can get a few slaves."
Whether it was driven by interests or the instinct of a soldier, when Wen Jiayu and his brothers embarked on a journey to assemble in the capital city dozens of miles away, in Xin'an City, Li Yunjie's eyes were fixed on the map, which was a map of Java Island, and the map clearly marked the locations of Qin, Gui and Matalan, and of course he was staring at the capital city of Mataran.
"Bassar Ged!"
Pointing to the map of the blue capital, Li Yunjie said to the king.
"The same as Xin'an Linhai, Basha Gede is also a coastal city, but he is facing the Tianzhu Sea, when the king of Mada Lantu chose this place, not only because this is a coastal plain, and the land is fertile, but because the worship is more convenient, no need for land bumps, if we attack by land, then it is bound to need to cross hundreds of miles of rainforest, mountain roads, I don't know how many difficulties will be encountered along the way, and there will be natives along the way, so, the minister thinks, should be by water, by waterway to take Basha Gede!"
The reason why Li Yunjie made this decision was not only because he was born in the Ming Dynasty and was accustomed to this kind of integrated land and sea combat method, but more importantly, because Qin had a fairly large navy - two cruisers and several 14-gun cruisers, which made his navy a very powerful existence in the South Seas, and it was precisely because of this that he decided to attack from the sea.
"From ...... by sea"
Wei Xiangshu thought for a moment, he might not be able to give too much advice in military affairs, but he also knew the advantages of sea routes.
"In this way, there will be no problems with the transportation of grain and grass, just ......"
Looking up at Li Yunjie, Wei Xiangshu asked rhetorically.
"There are only more than 20 ships in our country, even if they are all used to transport troops, they are only a few thousand people, and there are no less than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in the city of Basar Gede, and it is too big to attack the city with thousands of people?"
"Ten thousand households?"
With a sneer, Li Yunjie said sarcastically.
"Attacking the city with 5,000 people, is already worthy of them, if it weren't for the attack on other cities, I'm afraid that 5,000 are more, the natives are often afraid of slashing, the combat effectiveness is very inferior, and they don't know how to fight, in the field, although our Han army can not be said to be an enemy, but there is no problem with an enemy and a few people, as long as there are these 5,000 soldiers, the land will definitely be made red!"
Li Yunjie didn't go to war at all!
"Prime Minister, this expedition, the purpose of the expedition, the purpose of the siege of Gui, if there is a chance to take the opportunity to destroy the horse and fight the blue, so that it can no longer be for the two countries of Qin and Guizhou, so, must be weakened as much as possible, my idea is to destroy its city, plunder its people, so as to force the Ma Da Lan people to withdraw, and when it withdraws, our army will be partial division, with the Gui army, directly take its main force, if I expect it is not bad, as long as there are 20,000 horses, even if there are 200,000 horses, Ma Dalan even if there are 200,000 troops, it is not to be afraid, so the two ways to attack, after this battle, since it is not possible to destroy its country, which can also prevent them from being re-affected for at least the next 20 years. ”
Listening to Li Yunjie's explanation, Wei Xiangshu once again looked at the map on the map, the Basha Gede facing the Tianzhu Sea, thinking of the next order that the city would face, he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, and when the trace of sympathy in his heart emerged, he shook his head again, he knew that he couldn't have the slightest sympathy for these Fanyi, and he couldn't rule the Yiyi without an iron fist!
"Well, since the general has become a bamboo in his chest, the prime minister is naturally fully supportive, and the prime minister is waiting for the good news of the general in Xin'an! On the day of the general's triumph, congratulations to the general! ”
