Chapter 3: Preparations for the Raid

One day in mid-March of the third year of Zhongping (187).

Gongsun Kang felt it was time for something to change. When you come to the end of the Han Dynasty, you don't eat and wait for death. Half a year of incubation has reached the limit of his patience. It's time to make your voice heard and start changing the world.

Gongsun Kang went to Gongsun Du and saluted respectfully. said: "In this world, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and Goguryeo invades our Han land every time, robs property, robs people, and bullies our Han women. My son intends to fight against Goguryeo, so I ask my father to help me. ”

Gongsun Du looked at Gongsun Kang's young and immature face, and the fluff on the corners of his mouth had not yet turned into a beard. He smiled and said, "How can my son help you as a father?" ”

"Please ask my father and me to have fifty troops, and complete the armor and weapons, and I can do the rest myself."

Gongsun Du is also a masterpiece of a generation, and he was overjoyed when he heard this: "Good! Since my son has such a great ambition, he should help his father. ”

Gongsun Du was once the assassin of Jizhou, although he has been dismissed, as a strong man, there are still some weapons in the department.

At that time, fifty family members were allocated to Gongsun Kang to make a trilogy, and each of them was equipped with a short knife and a spear in addition to leather armor. The spears were all iron and wood.

There was no long knife, in this era, there were very few iron products, too much iron was used for long knives, and the landlord's family had no surplus grain.

Of the 50 families, everyone knows how to shoot an arrow. When the people of Liaodong had not yet learned to farm, they made a living by hunting and puffing fish. So almost everybody knows how to shoot an arrow. But Gongsun Du only gave 10 bows and 20 pots of arrows.

In addition, there were 30 people who could ride horses, but only 2 horses were given.

Gongsun Du's statement is: If you need anything, go and grab it back.

In order to ensure the safety of Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Du sent Liu Yi to Gongsun Kang.

Liu Yi is eight feet tall, has a square face, and is close to 30 years old. It's majestic.

In the Han Dynasty, a foot was about 23 centimeters. Eight feet is 1.84 meters, and it is really a big man.

Gongsun Kang didn't dare to regard Liu Yi as a slave, so he called him his uncle.

Liu Yi, a native of Liaodong. The general of Gongsun Du at the end of the Han Dynasty, brave and resourceful, once fought with Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao for 50 rounds, and was defeated due to physical exhaustion.

Gongsun Kang remembered this record, so he respected Liu Yi from the bottom of his heart. Ask Liu Yi to train him in these 50 steps, and ask for the ban to be carried out within a month. Smell the drum and advance, smell the gold and retreat.

In order to simplify the communication of the command, the horn is also used as the command during training.

In order to avoid the crime of being sued by someone in the DPRK and China for private disturbance of a foreign country and opening up a dispute between the two countries in the future. Gongsun Kang pulled the people to the nearby mountains, and the tribes cut down wood and built a village, which really looked like a bandit's den.

His father, Gongsun Du, sent a housekeeper, Mr. Yang, to assist in handling the cottage affairs. It is planned that in the future, when looting, it will be in the name of the bandits of Erlong Mountain. The loot is also pulled to the cottage for processing.

Gongsun Kang found a place where there was no one and called Xiao Jia. He had figured it out that he could just call in his own head, and he didn't need to speak.

"Childe, doesn't you want a soldier?" Xiao Jia is better at this, he doesn't speak if he doesn't summon him, as if he doesn't exist.

"Of course, I have 50 men now." Gongsun Kang is more complacent.

"As you wish"

A sturdy soldier in leather armor appeared before him. He is eight feet tall, with a resolute face and thick bones. Holding a long knife in his hand.

The sturdy soldier knelt on one leg, "A first to meet the lord"

"Jiayi, how many of my current subordinates can you fight?" Gongsun Kang needs to find out the combat power of the soldiers in the system.

"A is a soldier, not a general. Under the master's hand, one can be worth ten. Jiayi replied calmly, without any smug expression.

"That's not bad, Elite Soldier." Gongsun Kang praised him.

"Don't dare to be the lord and praise" A's face did not change.

"Jiayi, you change your name to Jia Yi. Be my own soldier. "Gongsun Kang felt that there was no one with the surname A.

"Whoa"

Gongsun Du was mobilizing before the war: "Goguryeo often invaded our homes, burned our houses, destroyed our fields, robbed our belongings, plundered our fathers and villagers, and bullied our sisters. Is it tolerable or intolerable? ”

There was a bold shout in the trilogy: "I can't bear it! ”

Gongsun Kang continued: "Yes, resolutely unbearable! I decided to take you with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. Let's go loot the Goguryeo people! Are you afraid? ”

All the family members shouted together: "Don't be afraid!"

Xuanwu County is a multi-ethnic residential area: there are Han people, Wofu, Juli, Fuyu people, Zhenfan people, etc., all ethnic groups live together, often intermarry with each other, and it is really an ethnic integration area. Among the 50 trilogy, half of the Han people have impure blood. Even pure-blooded Han Chinese are fierce and brave.

On the border, you rob me, I rob you. But there is no view of right and wrong of the Han people in Guannei, and there is no benevolence, righteousness and morality. The law of the jungle is vividly expressed.

Hearing that they were going to rob, the tribes were only excited, not guilty, and not afraid.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the self-confidence of the Han people was still very strong. To fight Hu people, just like Lao Tzu beating his son, any prince can easily beat Hu people.

The height of the Han people is generally more than 1.7 meters. This can be seen from the terracotta warriors. The terracotta warriors are one to one and the same height as the real people. It is generally more than 1.7 meters, and there are many 1.8 meters and 1.9 meters. So it is often said that a big man, or a good man.

And the Hu people of this period were generally short. I was scared by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again, and I was first cowardly psychologically. So there was a saying at that time: one Han should be five hu.

Gongsun Kang agreed on some more rules.

When robbing, kill people first, and do not rob property first. After all of them are destroyed, they will collect the property together.

The looted property is divided into tenths. Fifty percent of them are for the military. The custodian is a copycat logistics officer, currently Mr. Yang. Food, grass, clothing, and weapons for the troops, and the cost of recruiting soldiers in the future.

The soldiers who participated in the battle were divided in two; Another component is selected for the descendants of the injured, crippled or deceased; Yicheng is the general who leads the troops, and he is currently Liu Yi and 5 chiefs. Liu Yi is divided into half, and even the long is divided into half. In the end, it became owned by Gongsun Kang. This is the preserve of leaders.

Everyone was originally a general, and they were also paid military salaries on weekdays. In wartime, even if you don't give a single copper coin, you still have to obey the order to go on the war. Now when he heard that there was a share of the goods, everyone rejoiced. Even Liu Yi stroked his beard and smiled.

Gongsun Kang ordered everyone to put their belongings in the cottage before they set out on the expedition. After the battlefield is cleaned, people will be sent to search each other's bodies. Those who dare to hide their belongings will be given 50 military sticks. If the circumstances are serious, behead!

It was also explained that no fire was allowed. The houses of the village should be preserved. In the future, when someone immigrates to the village, they can cut leeks again.

Again: try to kill as little as possible when robbing. Men and women, young and old, are everyone's property. A man can be a male slave and a woman a female slave.

The ten bravest men could each choose a woman as a slave girl. The rest of the women will be managed in a unified manner after being contained. Choose the beautiful ones and set up a brothel camp. Each charge is 20 copper coins, of which 10 copper coins are reserved for prostitutes and 10 copper coins are collected by the military. A maximum of 5 people can be accommodated per day. You can take half a month off every month, including your menstrual period. Pregnant people do not need to pick up customers, but they have to pay the military every day. Pick-up for 3 years, and women over 30 years old can be released as freedmen without pick-up.

The rest of the male slaves and female slaves are all military assets. Clearing wasteland, mining, logging, repairing canals, laundry, and more. The old and weak captives and the incapable workers were killed, and the young were adopted and trained in a unified manner, and they were governed by military law.

There is a lot of land around the cottage, and there is no need to worry about having nowhere to place the captives.

Historically, when steppe nomads robbed property, it was initially the one who grabbed it. Later, it was unified management and unified distribution. It can be said that unified management is the reason why the steppe nomads have become powerful, and it is also the reason why they can enter the Central Plains and establish a state.

Historically, there have been many examples of losing battles because they looted first rather than killing enemy soldiers first. Therefore, Gongsun Kang avoided this situation in advance in the form of a system.
