Chapter 275: The Reader on the Ship
Li Yanzhi and the people in the shed exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then a soldier of the Daishan Army sent a rebellion, the same rice porridge, the difference is that each family will have a plate of pickles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
After eating, someone led the people out of the shed and rode an ox cart to the Jiaolai River. Of course, because the number of ox carts is too small, women and children can only be allowed to get on the carts, and Li Yanzhi and other men can only walk, but this also makes them very satisfied.
After all, compared to those recruited soldiers, the Daishan Army has shown preferential treatment to scholars.
Ten miles away, walked for nearly an hour to reach the river, the road is crowded with people on the one hand, on the other hand, they are too poor physical strength.
When they arrived at the river, they were led into a boat alone, a flat-bottomed sand boat with 5,000 quintals, and more than 150 people were loaded with the scholars and their families. It's very crowded.
There were no beds in the cabins, let alone seats, so everyone had to sit on the floor. There is no longer a difference between children and talents, and everyone is treated exactly the same.
When all the boats by the river were filled with people, the fleet pulled anchor together and headed down the Jiaolai River towards Jiaozhou Bay.
Going down the river, the boat speed is extremely fast, and it enters Jiaozhou Bay in more than an hour.
As scholars, Li Yanzhi and others were allowed to go on deck at any time. And their family members can only go to the deck at the specified time.
Standing on the deck, Li Yanzhi was shocked to see dozens of large sea ships quietly moored in Jiaozhou Bay, the largest of which were more than ten as tall as a city, he didn't expect the power of the Daishan Army to be so huge.
After the fleet entered Jiaozhou Bay, the migrants were transferred to larger ships, and if such a large ship was loaded with people, each ship would not be able to carry hundreds of people!
Li Yanzhi, along with the scholars and their families, also climbed up a three-masted sea ship tremblingly along the rope ladder and were placed in the lowest cabin. There's a lot more space here than the boat just now.
Standing on the deck, looking at dozens of tall ships, and looking at the vast and boundless sea, Li Yanzhi's heart was incomparably open at this moment.
After putting the people on the big boat, the original fleet turned around and sailed into the Jiaolai River, and returned to Jiaozhou Bay in the afternoon. Li Yanzhi knew that a group of immigrants had been loaded onto the ship, and they should be about to set off!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for all the ships to pull anchor, and on the masts, the sails were raised high, and the sea breeze was blowing, and the ships headed east.
Above the sea, the waves are rolling, the fish leaps and the eagle flies, and looking back, the coast is lush and the scenery is infinite. Li Yanzhi was immediately fascinated by the scenery of the sea.
However, before he could rejoice for long, a wave of nausea welled up in his abdomen, and he became seasick.
Lying on the side of the ship, facing the sea, vomiting vigorously, and the acid water bubbling in his stomach, he stopped.
Worried about his wife and children in the cabin, Li Yan staggered out of the cabin, and was surprised to find that his wife and children were safe and sound, and they did not vomit like him.
But the others were not so lucky, and the smell of vomiting in the cabin was fluctuating, and a sour smell filled the cabin.
It didn't take long for more than a dozen Daishan soldiers to enter the bilge with buckets, filled with strange-tasting soup. Everyone who was seasick was asked to pour a bowl, which, according to them, was a special medicinal soup for seasickness.
Li Yanzhi also drank a bowl, the medicinal soup was very bitter, and the taste was unpleasant, but it was much more comfortable in the stomach. No more dizziness and less pain in the head.
In the following days, the sea journey was boring and boring, and Li Yanzhi soon lost his freshness. But he became familiar with the sea-going boats, no longer seasick, and walked on the deck with much lighter steps.
But then, the scribes of the Daishan Army gathered them and let them study the so-called Daishan Charter.
Each person handed out a thin booklet with a record of the situation in Daishan. There are customs, the structure of Daishan soldiers and people, and the regulations that must be followed on the island.
For example, it is forbidden to fight and abuse, steal, and rape. kinky women and so on. A number of simple regulations, each of which is followed by a corresponding penalty.
Li Yanzhi found that in addition to the death penalty for defecting to the island and defecting to the enemy, the biggest punishment was expulsion from the island. thieves, expelled from the island; Those who disobeyed military orders were expelled from the island with their entire families; If a woman is to be executed, the whole family will be expelled from the island.
The punishment is simple and direct, in addition to these conventional punishments, Daishan's strictest requirements are hygiene, no open defecation is allowed, violators are given ten lashes, and a fine of one or two silver. It is not allowed to dump garbage, and offenders will be fined one tael of silver. And so on and so forth.
Everyone is required to memorize Daishan's edicts, and if they break it, they will be punished accordingly. For scholars like Li Yanzhi, it is too simple to memorize these rules.
But then, the words of this Daishan scribe made them hesitate.
The scribe was talking about the arrangements for them to read after arriving in Daishan. They can serve in the inspection department and the coastal defense guerrilla shogunate, engaged in all kinds of copywriting or management work, and the salary is according to the recruitment, each person is three taels of silver per month, and if they do a good job and get promoted, they will get more.
The scribe said that the alternative option was to choose to serve in the army. According to the Daishan Army system, the team has a team supervisor, and the battalion has a battalion supervisor, which is at the same level as the main battalion of the team.
However, not everyone can do the job of team supervisor and battalion supervisor, and they must be literate and hyphenated readers, because they have to manage all the general affairs, as well as the evaluation and evaluation of soldiers, etc.
Now Daishan plans to recruit the infantry to a total of 10,000 people, and the officers can be transferred by the veterans of the Daishan Army, but it is not easy to find the team supervisor and the battalion supervisor. So Ren Siqi hit the idea on these newly joined readers. But he also knew that it would be difficult to get these people into the army.
The noble and martial arts are deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very difficult to let these scholars become soldiers, even if they are officers. But Ren Siqi naturally has a corresponding countermeasure, that is, salary.
"The team supervisor and the team are at the same level, enjoy the treatment of 100 households, a monthly salary of five taels, and 30 acres of vocational land. The camp supervisor and the camp are at the same level, enjoying the treatment of 1,000 households, with a monthly salary of 10 taels of silver and 50 acres of professional land. ”
The treatment of entering the army shocked these scholars. Although they are noble and lowly, they suddenly changed from ordinary people to six-rank military attachés, which is too attractive to them. Even Li Yanzhi was deeply attracted.
"I would like to serve in the army!"
"I'm willing to do it too!"
All the scholars signed up one after another, and everyone's mood was very hot, but the next words of the scribe were invariably ignored by them.
"If you want to enter the army, you must undergo the same training as ordinary soldiers, and those who can persevere will be allowed to enter the army. Those who are eliminated can only do civilian work in the general's palace. ”
Almost all of the readers signed up, and then they got busy. Every day, they were organized to study the constitution and regulations of the Daishan army, and they were asked to count the situation of the newly recruited soldiers.
