Chapter 142: The Ghost Face Army Comes to Vote
Although the 3,000 people on the opposite side are a rabble, Yang Zilu can't deny that the 3,000 people on the opposite side are also warriors raised in the poor mountains and bad waters. Not to mention anything else, he remembered that Wei Wushu, the first powerful army in the early Warring States period, was fully armed and marched for several miles, and was still able to enter the battle.
Take Jiukuibu as an example, it is said that hunting will carry a bow, a bag of arrows, an iron short sword, half a day to a day of dry food, and a water bladder filled with water, which adds up to about ten catties. Although it is not very heavy, it is a day of hunting and walking for thirty miles, even if it is more than forty miles, it is not uncommon, and half of the way back still carries dozens of pounds of prey. And this is still peacetime, not wartime, even if other Shanyue people will be worse, they will not be too far behind Jiukui.
Yang Zilu believed that these Shanyue people would be handed over to Wu Qi, and with a little training, they would definitely be able to become Wei Wushu, even more powerful than Wei Wushu in the early Warring States period. In the face of such an opponent, how is the pressure on Yang Zilu not great?
Yang Zilu pondered whether he should have a hard fight with the Gui Guo Ministry, the Loss Son Ministry, and the Servant Sentence Ministry, and let the other party know how powerful he was. Anyway, now that the Servant Sentence Department has been disabled, and there are only six or seven hundred people left, the threat to the Nine Kui Department is too small and too small.
Although it is a pity that these are six or seven hundred slaves, Yang Zilu does not have to swallow his stomach. Besides, there are also a group of old and weak women and children in the gull department who want Yang Zilu to take over. The benefits that Yang Zilu got this time are not small, so it is not unacceptable to lose the slaves of the servant department.
As for the sugarcane that I want to get, I can transplant it to the Haiyan Department, anyway, it has not yet entered the Xiaoice River period, and the weather is still very warm. Yang Zilu knows that there are elephants everywhere in the Yangtze River basin, and as for the modern wild elephants, they are all in Yunnan and Southeast Asia, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the weather. It is believed that sugarcane can survive in the Haiyan Department, after all, the distance between the north and south of the two sides is not very large, only about 100 miles. Maybe sugar cane can also be grown there in the Kukuibu.
Copper ore and tin ore can also be 'forcibly rented', and then a few percent of the benefits will be given to the Gui State Ministry and the Loss Ministry, I believe that their opinions will not be very big, as for the Servant Sentence Department, they don't have much say now, the Gui State Ministry and the Loss of the Ministry agreed, they have no strength to object. Besides, with their current manpower and material resources, can they continue to mine copper and tin ore?
It is believed that the servants will understand how to make a trade-off, and if they are unwilling, they will be required to pay a large tribute that they cannot give, forcing them to choose to 'rent' copper and tin ore in exchange for exemption from tribute.
While Yang Zilu was pondering how to get the benefits that could not be obtained in the war through the negotiation table, a deep voice sounded outside the tent. "Chief, haven't you slept yet?"
Yang Zilu listened to the voice for a while, as if it was a lonely outside, so he asked, "Is it a lonely sentence?" What's the matter? ”
Ju Gu, who was standing outside, hesitated, Yang Zilu didn't let him in, and he was embarrassed to go in, so he said through the curtain: "It's me!" Chief, that's right, the Ghostface Army wants to attach itself to the chief! ”
"Come in! It's windy outside, so be careful when it's cold! Yang Zilu saw that Jugu didn't come in, so he understood his concerns. The three watches came over in the middle of the night, and it was easy to doubt Jugu's motives. After all, now that the servant department is powerful, it is not impossible for Ju Gu to have the intention of returning to the servant department, and if Ju Gu kills Yang Zilu, he can completely cover up the fact that he once surrendered to the Jiukui Department with the burden of forbearance. But Yang Zilu is confident that he can control Ju Gu, and Ju Gu is also a wise person, and now surrender and go back to the servant department, his best result is to be idle, and if it doesn't happen in a few years, the servant sentence will come to him to open the knife.
"Thank you, Chief!" Ju Gu walked into the tent, couldn't help but be a little moved, and hurriedly bowed to Yang Zilu.
"No need to be polite! Tell me more about what the hell is going on! Yang Zilu doesn't like these red tape very much, he has the unique practical spirit of modern people, pays attention to the reality of interests, and has no good impression of the red tape of this era.
Hearing this, Ju Gu straightened his waist and responded: "That's the case, just now I went to inspect the slave camp, and a person who claimed to be the commander of the Ghost Face Army hoped to be accepted by the chief, but they had one condition, that is, all their clansmen were now exempted from the status of slaves and became commoners, and at the same time, the equipment was also provided by the Jiukui Department. ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, he touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Hmm! Isn't it just the identity of a common person! And a weapon! The Ghostface Army is worth the price. But can they be trusted? ”
Ju Gu knew that Yang Zilu was not from Shanyue and did not know some of the customs of the Shanyue people, so he explained: "The chief can set up an altar, and both sides swear by their ancestors and totem gods, and if he violates the oath for no reason among the Shanyue people, he will be spurned by all the Shanyue people." So in terms of loyalty, the chief doesn't have to worry, even if the Ghostface Army falls to the enemy in battle, the enemy will not hesitate to kill them after the battle. ”
Yang Zilu is a little out of his mind, modern people swear to eat lettuce, a moment ago they vowed to help you, and when they turned their heads, they might stab you. So Yang Zilu really found it hard to believe that there was such a thing as an oath. But after thinking about it, Yang Zilu still agreed, the combat effectiveness of the Ghost Face Army is really what Yang Zilu urgently needs now.
Yang Zilu ordered the Ghost Face Army to be armed that night, not wanting this to arouse the minds of many people in the slave camp, asking to fight for the Nine Kui Tribe, in exchange for the treatment of the Ghost Face Army. But Yang Zilu did not agree as soon as his mind was hot, but selected about fifty people from the slaves who were eager to participate in the battle to form a team of sword and shield soldiers.
They only have the status of slave soldiers, but Yang Zilu promised that the more they gained, the more they could still become citizens of the Nine Kui Tribe, and even their future slave families could obtain the status of commoners.
Yang Zilu's promise is very attractive to some slaves in their forties and fifties, who have children, and even grandchildren. And at their age, there is nothing to live, fifty years old can be said to have entered the Hades Palace, so their wishes have been transferred to their families, hoping to lay a good foundation for their sons and grandsons.
Yang Zilu also understands their thoughts, so most of this slave soldiers are composed of slaves in their forties and fifties, and although their older age is lacking in physical strength, they are very experienced.

I didn't get home until 2 p.m.
Severe sleep deprivation and not very good condition. Mu Mu didn't know what the reason was, he had a little dizziness in his head when he coded words, although it was not heavy, but it affected his thinking very much.
