Chapter 113: Township Soldiers
、、、、、、、
As Lai Wu's words landed, they immediately resonated with many villagers around them, so many people shouted along, saying that they would not abandon the fields here and flee, shouting that they would do something for the Xingtian Army. (.. )
Zhao Baotian looked at the crowd below and couldn't help but have a sour nose, and the tears of excitement almost didn't flow, so he stroked a handful of snot, threw it on the stone grinding plate, and under the support of a descendant, he clasped his fists with both hands and shouted to the villagers below: "I, Zhao Baotian, thank you, big guy, and thank you on behalf of our General Xiao!" Our General Xiao said that as long as the big guys are in a group, they are not afraid of anything, they are afraid of scattered people, and they all have their own ideas! Since the big guy said so today, then I, Zhao Baotian, will also take it back!
Our general has long said that after the spring ploughing and farming, all townships and villages will organize township soldiers, township soldiers and township soldiers, to put it bluntly, the people are soldiers, and all the people are soldiers! The township soldiers are responsible for protecting our own village, and since everyone is willing to help our Xingtian Army defend this place today, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and today our township soldiers in Xiaozhao Village will be established!
I Zhao Baotian also took it a big time, don't look at my inconvenient legs and feet, after all, I have also seen a big battle, it is a soldier trained by General Xiao, and I have a little experience, so I will be the leader of the township army for the big guy here!
Now, if you will, you will come forward from the ages of sixteen to forty! In the future, you will be the township soldiers of our Xiaozhao Village! ”
After Zhao Baotian finished speaking, all the men in the village who met the age requirements stood up, there were more than forty of these people in total, and Zhao Baotian shouted loudly: "Okay! Our township corps is set up today, and this time we are fighting with the official army, our general said, we don't need our help, and now we will do one thing first, that is, to protect our village, strictly investigate the idle people who run to our area, etc., and can't let the spies of the government come to us to inquire about the news! ”
As a result, the first township army under the rule of the Xingtian Army was established in Xiaozhao Village.
At the same time, in other villages, situations like Xiaozhao Village are also being staged repeatedly, some of the chief of the security guard is eloquent, and the words are clearer, but some of the chief of the security is almost eloquent, and the effect is almost the same, but the result is basically the same, they basically made it clear to the people that the Xingtian Army will definitely not abandon this place and escape, they will definitely be able to beat the official army, and according to Xiao Tianjian's requirements, all townships and villages have organized township soldiers, and began to perform their duties to protect their own villages.
As for the weapons of the township soldiers, the Xingtian Army did not have time to equip them with them for the time being, so the security chiefs of each village and township relied on themselves, and with some agricultural tools such as dung forks and other things they had at hand, they also found some long wooden sticks, sharpened at the front end, and used them as wooden guns, and temporarily armed these people.
In just two or three days, some unknown people were discovered and arrested by these township soldiers, and were quickly sent to Dongye Town and handed over to Feng Gouzi, who temporarily lived in Dongye Town.
And Feng Gouzi quickly found out a few details of the government from among these people, they were basically sent by the government of Zezhou or Yangcheng to this side in advance to investigate the details of the deployment of the Xingtian Army, unfortunately they do not belong anywhere here, the goal is obvious, once the township soldiers are organized, they have nowhere to hide, and they were soon found out by the township soldiers and sent to Feng Gouzi's side.
Feng Gouzi was not polite, after finding out these details, after torture and interrogation, squeezed out some of their information, and cut them down without saying a word, as for the other people with suspicious identities, after interrogation, some of them were thieves who wandered to this area to steal things, and some of them were displaced people who had not yet been resettled in this area under unknown circumstances, and they had no time to deal with them for the time being, so they were all locked up in a compound in Dongye Town, and only after the end of this war, they were dealt with separately.
Through the propaganda of the security chiefs of various townships and villages, the local people's hearts have gradually stabilized, and they are no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning, but after all, it is impossible for anyone to have one heart for the human heart, and there are still a small number of people who choose to drag their families and leave here to avoid the scourge of war.
For these people who fled the local area, the local security chiefs were not polite, they could go, as for their own things can be taken away, but the farm tools that belonged to the Xingtian Army lent to them must be kept, and the fields originally allocated to them were all taken back and confiscated, and their names were immediately ticked off in the household register, and they were never allowed to return here to continue their lives in the future.
Such various measures have greatly stabilized the situation in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, re-stabilized the southern area of Yangcheng County, and reduced a lot of troubles for the Xingtian Army, and enabled the Xingtian Army to draw back the patrols originally arranged and concentrate the use of troops, and the task of local patrols can basically be handed over to these local township soldiers to be responsible, as long as they do not encounter well-trained strong enemies, as the training of these township soldiers is launched, the general small strands want to infiltrate into the jurisdiction of the Xingtian ArmyIt is becoming more and more difficult, and each township and village also has a considerable degree of self-protection ability.
And the township soldiers in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army are compared to the Zhuang Ding raised by the old rich people and the organized village warriors, don't look at the quality of the equipment may not be as good as them for the time being, but the enthusiasm is far higher than theirs, and the purpose of the two sides to pick up arms is fundamentally different.
The township soldiers of the Xingtian Army protect their own interests, while the villagers of Zhuangding in other places are working for others, at most to save their lives, compared to the township soldiers on the side of the Xingtian Army, they dare to work hard.
Although the level of combat effectiveness in the era of cold weapons affects the quality of equipment, to a certain extent, whether people are afraid of death or not determines the level of combat effectiveness.
In addition to the farmers who farmed the land, many hunters in the mountains were also very unhappy after hearing the news that the official army was coming here to fight the Xingtian Army, although the Xingtian Army had little to do with them, but after the Xingtian Army arrived here, they cleared the local bandits, making them much safer when they went into the mountains to hunt, and they didn't have to worry about being attacked by bandits at home, and the Xingtian Army did not exploit them, only collected 20% of their harvest, and the rest of their hunting harvest was completely owned by themMoreover, the Xingtianjun also set up trading places in Lotus Village and Shuangfeng Village, collected animal skins and game from them, and the price given was quite fair, not to mention buying and selling, so that in just a few months, their quality of life has been greatly improved.
Therefore, the improvement of the quality of life of the hunters is probably the fastest changing group of people in this area, so as the beneficiary side of the hunters, they are even more reluctant to see the government regain control of this area, otherwise their lives will be much more difficult, this time as soon as they heard that the official army is coming to punish the heavenly army, many of them will not do it.
Orion hunts in the mountains every day, and his temperament is much stronger than that of the people who farm, and the most important thing among the poles in various places is these hunters, and the backbone of the poles is basically people from Orion, after all, they can fight with knives, draw bows and shoot, basically do not need to practice much, they are quite good warriors.
After getting the news among these people, even if many people ran out of the mountain to find the Xingtian Army to help them, Xiao Tianjian was not polite, and immediately ordered Liu Bao to draw a few people from his sect leaders, and ordered them to organize this group of hunters who came to serve them, and set up a separate township army of about 300 people, almost catching up with the strength of a sentry in the battle team, and the township soldiers built up by this Orion are all good archers, even if the hunting bow is not as good as the infantry bow of the official army, At the very least, it is also an archer force that cannot be ignored.
