The Owl People's Army is the current name for mercenaries, and its system inherits the recruitment of the Civilian Army, which is a source of troops that can be opened to foreign princes, especially the non-hostile princes whose territory is not bordered, and is the main object of the opening of the Devil's Army, among which the Patriotic State is the main exporter of the Owl People's Army.

Because the Weiguo continued to follow the relatively backward old aristocratic slave system, the productivity was far less than that of the Central Plains, but the territory of the Weiguo was vast, there were fertile plains in the north, cotton, soybeans, rape and other cash crops could be grown in the south and central regions, and the grasslands in the south could also raise livestock, and its land had a great carrying capacity for the population, so the population was large.

Moreover, the large number of patriotic slaves led to the struggle between slaves and peasants controlled by the aristocracy for fertile land resources, resulting in a large number of patriotic peasants losing their land and becoming homeless.

After all, millions of displaced people are not a problem that can be solved by any magnates' kindness, and in the end these displaced people become the source of domestic turmoil in the country.

The Wei Dynasty usually moved the displaced people to sunny areas in the south and drove them to grow cotton in exchange for food rations, while the Wei Guo exported cotton to the Central Plains in exchange for commodities and other needs.

Or in various names, he was charged with exile, exiled to the defense line of Qianyue Mountain, and fought for territory and frontier for the defense of the country.

Due to the needs of the war, the defense line of Qianyue Mountain has the cities divided by the three kingdoms of Wei, Xu and Song, and there are border people here to facilitate the logistics and transfer of the army. Theoretically, it borders on the Qianyue Mountain, but in fact it is 5,000 miles away, so the patriotic army does not send troops to defend the Qianyue Mountain all the year round, but provides labor.

Therefore, the defense of the country was happy to send the exiles and hard labor to the defense line of the Qianyue Mountain to fight for the territory of the defense of the country.

After all, it is still possible to completely wipe out Jin Xuedi in the future, so that whoever occupies the city of Qianyue Mountain will get the advance base, and among the three kingdoms of Wei, Xu, and Song, Wei Guo's national strength is undoubtedly the strongest, and it is also the overlord who is most likely to occupy a large grassland south of Qianyue Mountain. Therefore, as early as a hundred years ago, the country accelerated the pace of immigration to the Senyue Mountain.

But no matter how much they immigrate, it is impossible for millions of displaced people to be sent to the frontier, so there is a people's army.

Nowadays, the princes of various countries are relatively relaxed in population control, and the population is very mobile, especially in the context of continuous natural and man-made disasters, the target of population migration is the neighboring country with fertile land and able to live.

For large countries with 30 million, 40 million, or even 50 million human resources, the emergence of displaced groups is almost a commonplace norm at a time when agricultural productivity is relatively backward and natural disasters are frequent.

By opening up the measures of recruiting troops from abroad, Wei Guo not only fed the families of the displaced people, but also obtained rents for this, and at the same time could also obtain foreign exchange, which solved the cost of domestic security and politics.

First of all, foreign conscription of patriotic refugees to fill the army, can not border with the country, and is not a hostile prince, and at the same time can weaken the potential overlord of the recruiting country, such as Xianguo, is a special geopolitical vassal state that can weaken the Changsun, Zhiguo, Jin, Sun, and Black Turban Army at the same time, because Xian State borders these vassal states and is the core turbulent place of the Central Plains.

Second, the displaced people recruited must be brought along by their families, and cannot be single-family households. All the families stayed in the country, and the conscripts went abroad to fight, and all the equipment was provided by the recruiting country.

Third, the recruiting country should pay a one-time settling-in allowance and commission to the families of the displaced people, so as to resettle the families of the displaced people to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land. At the same time, the recruiting country shall give the conscripts the treatment of recruiting the people's army, but all those who have made meritorious contributions in the war must be granted a tax-free lease of land in the recruiting country for a period of more than 30 years.

In addition, the family members of the conscripts in the country have the right to inherit during the term of the lease, and the country has the right to levy the same land on these foreign lands as the country during the term of the lease, but not to perform labor.

Fourth, if the people of the army give birth to children in the recruiting country, the defense of the country must also be taxed according to the rules of the defense of the country, and no penny can be missing.

In other words, not only did the defense of the country earn a lot of money from the displaced people, which not only solved the problem of social unrest caused by the displaced people, but also used the funds of the recruiting country to resettle the families of the displaced people to reclaim wasteland, stabilize the public order of the country, and in the future, it would also have to collect taxes on the land of the recruiting country, and deprive the recruiting country and the hostile country of war potential to the greatest extent.

Of course, the recruiting country will not be unaware of the wishful thinking of the country, so in all the hardest battles, mercenaries act as cannon fodder first, where there is a reason for immortality in the war, and when the war is over, people will almost die, where will you have the opportunity to tax and rent land.

Therefore, all the patriots who join the army of the people can be called the division of tigers and wolves, because they all know that their families are detained in the defense of the country, and most of them go abroad to fight, and most of them have no heads, only by finding a way to live, earn land, and die are valuable, so there is such a thing as "the people".

King Xian sent an envoy to defend the country to buy grain and grass, and the additional condition of defending the country was that Xianguo should recruit the people of the country, otherwise not a grain of grain or a ploughing ox would be sold.

It is said that the Xianguo army is exhausted, and it is right to be happy at this time, which is not a good thing, and others can't ask for it. But if you do the math, the money for recruiting soldiers is astronomical. According to the requirements of the Patriotic Army, the Xianguo had to pay a one-time employment fee of 10 stone of rice and a settlement fee worth 15 stone of rice to the families of the Patriotic People's Army.

This means that the recruitment of a patriot requires the payment of twenty-five rice rice, which is equivalent to the minimum living expenses of a family of seven for a year. With 25 stone of rice, the families of the conscripts were resettled by Wei Guo to go to the wasteland for reclamation, and when Wei Guo started collecting taxes in the second quarter, it was equivalent to Wei Guo using Xian Guo's money to solve the problem of work and livelihood for hundreds of thousands of people for Wei Guo.

This time, Wei Guo opened his mouth to ask Xian Guo to recruit 50,000 people's army, and Xian Wang bought a total of 2 million stone rice and 100,000 heads of livestock from Wei Guo, but he wanted to paste 1.25 million stone of grain and grass to Wei Guo.

But this time he confessed, so it aroused a high degree of suspicion in Jiguang, he saw the letter clearly at a glance, and said in disbelief: "It won't be the princess who fell into the evil of King Xian!" ”

When Wei Han heard the news, his cheeks twitched rapidly, and he hurriedly covered up his gaffe, and continued:

"The princess's eyes and ears are all over the tomb, and the news will never be wrong."

"Then Gongsun Yue rebelled, why didn't the princess notice it."

Wei Han's cheeks twitched again, but he couldn't refute it, and the contempt in his heart became more and more in his heart, and he changed his words and said:

"General Ji, I think the Xian army is going to make a big move recently, you and I should be careful, don't fall into the evil deeds of the Xian army."

"If the Xian army acts, why can't our army?"

"Our army only has three days of food and grass at the moment, and the sea route is seriously disturbed by the rebel sailors, and there is no way to go nowhere, what can we do. Based on Wei's observations, it is better to wait for the main force of the Changsun Guoshui Division to arrive, and then make a long-term plan. ”

"Hmph, these sea barbarians of the Changsun Kingdom, when they come over, they don't know the Year of the Monkey. Three days of food and grass is indeed not enough for our army to return to Shanling, but it should be enough to go to Lincheng. ”

"To Lincheng?" Wei Han was surprised and said, "General Ji wants to occupy Lincheng?" ”

"Why not. The land of Lincheng is larger than that of Guangxin, the land is more fertile than Pucheng, and the population is more than 100,000 people at present. ”

"But in this way, if the Guangxin army cuts off my grain and grass, the grain and grass in Lincheng may not be enough for our army to support for a month, so what can I do about it at that time?"

"Since you want to occupy Lincheng, you should wait for the rebels to retreat and the grain road to Chengling will be opened before doing this, how can you occupy it at this time."

Ji Guang seemed to be full of confidence, and Wei Han secretly beat the drum in his heart:

"Lincheng is not as good as Lei Cheng, our army occupies Lei City, and it is reasonable to say that Lincheng is in the hinterland of the Xian army, and our army suddenly occupies Lincheng, how can the princess explain to King Xian. This matter should be decided after consultation with the princess, so as not to make the princess passive. ”

"That's your General Wei's business, this general is on the order of the king, how can he return in vain."

Ji Guang lost Lei City, killed 35,000 people, injured more than 30,000 people, until now he has not eased his breath, and will be transferred back to China in the future, and it coincides with the prince's reign, if Ji Guang can't save the defeat, the prince is bound to use him to make a sword.

Wei Han didn't want to conflict with him, so he didn't mention it.

At this time, the officer outside the account entered the account to report:

"Report to the two generals, a group of people from the Xian army are coming out of the south gate."

"It's dark this day, what are the Xian troops doing when they go out of the city! How many centaurs are there? "Hi Guang said.

"I don't know, it's too dark to see how many people there are in the Xian army."

Wei Han frowned thoughtfully, and said when he was young:

"Let's go, let's see."

Ji Guang and Wei Han rode to the southwest corner outside Guangxin City, and in the night, the Xian army was marching southwest with torches, and the speed was extremely fast.

"It's strange, what is the Xianjun going to do." Wei Han was puzzled.

"What can you do, naturally it is to seek death!"

Ji Guang blurted out, Wei Han couldn't help but glance sideways, and continued:

"Let's go, go to the south gate and see who's in charge."

When the two of them came to the south gate with their guards, they saw that the Xian army was leaving the city without armor. Guangxin Gong and his son, Luo Songting, Song Ping and others saw them off outside the city. Wei Han rode forward and gave a slight salute and asked:

"Where is Jiang Gong going to send troops to attack?"

"It turned out to be General Wei Han, could it be that the Jin army is also interested in recovering the lost territory for the Xian State?"

"Reconquista? Isn't it Guangxin's joke, how can such a weak brigade subdue the lost territory. ”

Wei Han was half incredulous, Luo Songting took over the conversation, and said slowly:

"General Wei Xian, on the orders of the king, sent troops to recover Lei City. If the Jin army is willing to go together, my king must be grateful, hehe......"

Wei Han felt that the taste was wrong, even if he wanted to subdue Lei Cheng, there was no reason not to wear armor.

"Mr. Luo, it can't be that there is another plan."

"What, doesn't General Wei Han want to subdue Lei Cheng? The rebels in Thunder City are empty, wouldn't it be right to fight at this time? ”

"Hmph, such a trick can deceive a three-year-old child, how can it deceive the general. Mr. Luo, you are also a strategist, Leicheng and Guangxin are separated by Guanling Ferry and Pucheng, not to mention that you can't take down Leicheng, even if you do, how can you support each other. What's more, the rebels in Pucheng are not blind, how can they allow your army to cross the river at Guanling Ferry. ”

"Hehaha...... General Wei's words are wrong, the Changsun Guoshui Division is about to arrive in Beihai, and after repelling the Black Turban Naval Division, the port will always be repaired, and the distance between Leicheng and Changsun Guosang Beijun is not right. If you come to my Guangxin to trim and eat what you want, how can I Guangxin have more than 100,000 mouths, hehehe......"

The subtext of "hehe" is the three words "you know", Luo Songting's words were tepid, but it made Wei Han speechless for a long time.
