Chapter 217: Conscription
"Mr. Gongsun, there are no outsiders here, so if you have any ideas, just say it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Ying Guang knocked on the table and said with a smile.
Gongsun Ze's eyes were a little straight, obviously still in contemplation and did not come out, his brain kept running, but he said slowly: "Actually, there is nothing, but it is the general's Tuntian strategy that inspired me." ”
After organizing the language, Gongsun Ze said slowly: "Everyone knows in their hearts that if we follow the conventional method of raising soldiers, 3,000 regular soldiers are already our limit, so we must find another way, such as Bingtun!" ”
"Bingtun?"
"Yes, our Guiling County is vast and sparsely populated, with a large area of wasteland, we can make use of these wastelands, as long as we join the army, the soldiers who enlist in the army will be allocated land, and these lands will become the private property of soldiers and do not have to pay taxes......"
Before he finished speaking, Fan Liang frowned and interjected: "I'm afraid it won't work to do this, Mr. Gongsun, don't talk about anything else, our current 3,000 regular soldiers have military salaries, and the newly recruited soldiers have no military salaries, and they can still make sense in a short time, after all, the combat power is there, and it is not okay to disobey." It's just that after a long time, when each other's combat strength is equal, one person has a salary and one person has no salary, I'm afraid that the soldiers will not be balanced! ”
"That's true, if there is disagreement within the army because of the salary, it will also greatly affect the combat effectiveness of our army. The soldiers would think, why should we go up and let those who have money go up. As a result, the morale of the army is about to disperse. ”
Dian Jun thought about it and added a few words.
Gongsun Ze smiled slightly, took over the conversation and said: "Our general just entered the Yupanshan camp, and there were only a thousand people under his command, in order to attract soldiers, he threw down a big incense bait, and it is understandable to do so, if this is really a good way to train soldiers, why doesn't King Wei vigorously promote it throughout the country?" The reason is simple, you can't afford it! After we took Guiling County, we soon encountered a similar problem, as long as the army was expanded to 10,000, it would immediately drain the silver in the treasury, and without the silver money, our Guiling County would not be able to operate normally. Therefore, the rules set by the general at the beginning are special cases, but they are indispensable. ”
Picking up the teacup and moistening his throat, Gongsun Ze continued: "So we have to be flexible, when recruiting soldiers, we still use the land as bait, after the full ranks, we will train for half a year, and then we will start a big competition in the whole army, and select a thousand people as the general's personal guard battalion, these people have money, land, and the best equipment, they are the benchmark for all soldiers." In addition, the soldiers of the guard battalion are not fixed, as long as there are soldiers who can meet the standards of the guard battalion, they will be allowed to challenge, once they win, the winner will go up and the loser will go down, so that not only can the combat strength of the guard battalion be guaranteed, but also can mobilize the enthusiasm of the officers and men at the grassroots level, so that the combat power of those ordinary soldiers will also be greatly improved! ”
"And what we pay is just those idle land, and the salary of a thousand guards, in fact, the people do not ask for much, as long as they have their own land, they will burst out with great energy, and the salary or anything is not important. Ao Lie, let me ask you, if I give you a piece of land and tell you that all the income above it is yours, all you have to do is to join the army to defend your land, but there is no pay for joining the army, do you think you will do it? ”
"Of course we do, why don't we do it, with the land, our family can have enough to eat, that's enough!"
"Alright, alright!"
Ying Guang knocked lightly on the table, interrupting everyone's discussion.
"Just do what Mr. Gongsun said, but you must stipulate the amount of land, try to ensure that everyone gets the same amount, and in addition, although the soldiers do not have military pay, but the reward after each battle must not be less, and you must set a charter for the specific amount. If that's okay, just do it! ”
"Whoa!"
After three days of heavy snowfall, the snow finally cleared, and under the clear blue sky, people in bloated clothes went outside, waving the tools in their hands to clear the snow in their homes.
"Brother Li, I just heard a gong on the street in front of you, is there something wrong?"
"What can happen in the winter, I saw the kid from the old Zhang family running over to see the excitement, and I won't know when he comes back later."
Two wrinkled old men chatted and shoveled the snow in front of their doors, and soon gathered the snow in one place, revealing the blue pavement.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and I saw a half-grown boy running over in a hurry, perhaps it was too hot, the collar button that was originally tied was pulled aside, the sheepskin hat was grabbed in his hand indiscriminately, and the smooth head was steaming hot.
"The county guard has put up a notice! Recruit young and strong people to enlist in the army, and those who pass will be given ten acres of Yongye Tianna! ”
"You little monkey stop me! Ten acres? Wasn't it five acres for conscription last year? You kid aren't allowed to mess around! ”
The boy of the Zhang family was grabbed by the old man surnamed Li, and he didn't break free after two struggles, so he said anxiously: "Old Uncle Li, it must be right, it is ten acres, listen to the official who posted the notice, this time the soldiers are not paid, so there is more land given, and from then on, only the county guard's personal guard battalion has military salary, I heard that the threshold is high and scary, and ordinary people can't enter." But my family doesn't ask for much, just have land, I didn't catch up with the last conscription, let me beat me up! I've got more land this time, I've got to hurry! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Zhang family boy shrank his neck, slipped away, and slipped under Old Uncle Li's arm.
The two old men glanced at each other, and suddenly hurried back into the house, and heard a roar from inside: "You cub knows how to sleep!" Hurry up and get up! The county guard conscription, if you can't catch up with a hot one, see if Lao Tzu doesn't break your legs! What else to wear! Hurry up and sign up! ”
This year, there was a strange scene at the recruitment point in Guiling County, many young men in pajamas trembling and ran to the door of the recruitment point, this refreshing dress suddenly formed a sharp contrast with the snow next to it, the most amazing thing for the chief officer of the recruitment point was the aunts who came later, only to see them holding a ball of thick clothes in their arms, standing outside the team shouting.
"Dog leftover, come here, my mother has brought you clothes."
"Two eggs! Put this sheepskin mattress on! It's so cold, that old immortal actually grabbed you by the neck and threw you out! The old lady went back and finished with him! ”
"What time has it been! Why don't you start yet! My kid is very strong! Look at the babies all over the ground, and which one of them came out shirtless! ”
The shirtless man next to him had a green face, opened his big slap to protect his chest, and stammered: "Isn't this in a hurry, mother, you give me the clothes first!" (To be continued.) )
