Originally, Fujian Road did not intend to compromise, but after the Chinese New Year this year, there was not a drop of rain on Fujian Road, and after entering March, the signs of a major drought have appeared, and in desperation, Fujian Road officials had to shift their focus to fighting drought.

After surviving March, the pirates' raids immediately stopped, and the pirates on the Fujian roads ceased to exist, and at the end of March, the grain in many highlands began to wither, and the displaced people began to flee their homes.

By April, more than half of the fields on Fujian Road had all the seedlings died, the crops were out of harvest, and families with surplus grain could barely survive, and those without surplus grain began to become homeless.

After seeing that the coastal areas were stable, Fujian Road transferred the army to suppress the bandits, but the displaced people did not stop and the bandits did get more and more, and Zhang San did not buy less grain on the Fujian Road last year.

As a result, even the grain merchants on the Fujian Road did not have much grain in their hands, and in order to cope with the disaster, Zhang San began to collect grain on a large scale along the coasts of Guangdong and Zhejiang, nominally to Fujian, but in fact it was all shipped to the Ryukyus.

At the end of April, when the rice harvest was supposed to be the season, more than 60% of the fields on Fujian Road were not harvested, and Zhang San had to go south to deal with the problem of displaced people.

When Zhang San arrived in the Ryukyus in mid-May, more than half of the displaced people had finally exhausted their last savings, and the bark and grass roots around them had been almost eaten, and the displaced people began to starve to death.

Zhang San knew that the homeless people were almost desperate at this point, so Zhang San began to recruit workers, and in the name of recruiting workers, boatloads of homeless people were placed in various places in the Ryukyus, and land and rations were allocated to arrange for them to cultivate.

Zhang San even publicized how good the work was among the homeless people, and the work there, food, food, and wages, etc., and the specially made ships that carried people could carry 2,000 people at a time, and ordinary cargo ships could carry 1,000 people at a time.

Zhang San organized more than 100 boats, which could transport 1560,000 people to Ryukyu in four days, so that one million people could be transported to Ryukyu in a month.

The total population of the entire Fujian Road is only more than 3 million, and Zhang San only transported 500,000 or 600,000, and the population of various places has dropped significantly, especially the displaced people are less than one million, and the remaining displaced people have a way out after this time.

In the end, Zhang San only got a population of 800,000, but just these 800,000 people made Zhang San a little indigestion, and 800,000 people established 800 villages of 1,000 people, which allowed Zhang San to quickly complete the development of the Ryukyus.

Fortunately, the weather in the Ryukyus was already hot after May, so there was no need to worry about cold protection and housing, and only food rations and farm tools were distributed, and these people were self-reliant.

The original plan to go south to capture slaves had to be suspended, but fortunately, Zhang San had been capturing wild people, otherwise the construction of villages in various places would not have been so smooth, and the increase in population made Zhang San's originally many stagnant work restart.

For example, the warship production program was restarted, and because the total population of Ryukyu Island had exceeded 1.3 million, Zhang Sanyi recruited 70,000 navy and 30,000 army in one breath.

In addition to the 800,000 displaced people, more than 200,000 of these 1.3 million people are the original population, and about 200,000 are the people who have been obtained by retaliatory plundering of the coastal areas of Fujian Road.

The increase in the number of troops was finally able to become a separate service, with 30,000 dedicated marines in the 70,000 navy, and the 30,000 army was a real army, not the original Marine Corps model.

The establishment of the army refers to the original Marine Corps, with five people as one combat team, two combat teams as a squad, and then a team leader, a man, and a team of 12 people.

The team leader is responsible for directing the operations of the two teams, and the two team leaders are the first and second deputy leaders. The man is responsible for lighting a fire to cook, carrying food rations, and collecting firewood.

Two squads are one leader, and two deputy leaders are set up. Such a team can quickly form a four-sided formation in a skirmish, increasing the odds of survival.

The five companies formed a company, the captain was the company commander, the company commander was equipped with a special communications soldier, and then there was a five-person logistics team, in addition to the food of the three company commanders and 15 sergeants, and was also responsible for the transportation of materials and rations for the entire company during wartime.

In order to keep up with the march of the troops, the rations he carried could not exceed 50 catties, and these rations were only enough for a squad to eat for one and a half to two days during wartime.

Therefore, the company needs a special logistics team, equipped with a grain truck to carry five or six hundred catties of grain, so that a company can carry three to four days of rations, and such a configuration will not delay the march or the battle.

Of course, a long-distance march will also make the soldiers carry a part of the rations, and a soldier will carry ten to twenty pounds to make the rations of the whole team reach ten days' use, and no more will be enough.

In ancient times, a soldier often had to be equipped with one or two logistics personnel to ensure combat effectiveness, this is the truth, this is just a matter of rations, a squad must have a tent, what to do when the rations for ten days are not enough?

Therefore, in long-distance operations, it is necessary to increase the number of logistical personnel, so that the number of a company hovers between 140 and 200 men, while the number of soldiers is indeed only 120 people.

120 men are simply not enough to fight alone, so battalion-level units must be set up above the company, with five companies in one battalion and 600 soldiers, with a total number of more than 1,000 men, which is enough to cope with a small-scale battle.

Therefore, a battalion will be the most basic dispatching unit, responsible for a region or an aspect of combat, so the battalion-level unit will also be equipped with more troops, such as specialized scouts, specialized logistics companies, and so on.

On the other hand, the battalion and above are not grouped, but one or several battalions are dispatched to fight according to the different combat missions, and special bearers are appointed on a temporary basis when the time comes.

This is also to prevent the people below from having a tendency to be small, and if a regiment-level unit is organized again, I am afraid that a regiment of 5,000 people will be enough to form an interest group, and it will even shake Zhang San's rule.

At present, Zhang San has only 30,000 troops, and in the future, the number of personnel will increase, and it may be in the formation of regimental or even division-level troops, but the current enemy's battalion-level compilation is sufficient.

The size of the army was expanded from 20,000 to 100,000, and each unit immediately entered the training period of recruits, and Zhang San planned to train the army and marines for three months, and then go to Luzon in batches to capture slaves and train them all.

In the southern part of the Ryukyus, rice can be harvested three times a year, and even in the northern part it takes only five months, so the newcomer Zhang San only needs to supply food until the end of the year and they will be able to support themselves.

Although Zhang San had been stockpiling grain, the problem of rations for more than one million people still caused a lot of pressure on Zhang San, and Zhang San's grain purchasing team reached as far as Nanyue and Jiangsu, and even went along the Yangtze River to the Lianghu region to buy grain.
