Chapter 512: Let the soldiers rest assured
Defeat the Cao army besieging Penglai.
The number of people in the Tianhai camp surged to more than 6,000.
Yuan Xu did not give the order to go on the expedition immediately.
The newly recruited soldiers are willing to take refuge only in order to survive.
They don't have much sense of belonging to Penglai, not to mention the lack of training of the newly recruited soldiers, and they can't be called the real Tianhai Battalion!
The population on Penglai Island has surged, and the Tianhai Camp has practiced every day, and Dong Zheng has also stepped up the allocation of materials from all over the place.
A few days later, while the soldiers were practicing, a soldier from the Tianhai Battalion ran into the barracks.
"It's coming! And here came many more women! Before he entered the barracks, he shouted loudly: "Gongzi ordered Dong Gong to recruit women from outside the island, assign families for the wiveless families on the island, and give priority to the soldiers in the army!" ”
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion who were training stopped one after another.
The veterans all smiled strangely, and the recruits looked surprised.
"Serve the son, and return it to settle the family?" A recruit asked, stunned.
"Of course!" The herald soldier shouted: "When I first joined the army, the prince also recruited countless women, otherwise how could I come to the family?" ”
Looking at each other, the recruits were all stunned.
After many years of fighting as soldiers, they never thought that there would be such a good thing!
"Childe has an order!" While he was talking, another soldier of the Tianhai Battalion ran into the barracks: "The recruits go to the coast and choose a marriage wife. ”
The military order has been reached, and there is no more doubt, the recruits of the Tianhai Battalion, under the leadership of Tai Shigong, lined up in a neat array and drove out of the camp.
There are several large ships docked along the coast.
The hull of the ship is not much different from that of a warship, except that there are not many weapons.
These ships are the Penglai merchant ships that Dong Zheng uses to sell goods to and fro.
Countless women got off the boat and stood on the seashore one after another.
Years of war. If they stay in their hometown, they will also be abused by the soldiers, and may even freeze to death or starve to death.
Dong Zheng gave a promise. On Penglai, they no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
to pay. It is nothing more than participating in the construction of Penglai and marrying a man on the island!
Who doesn't want stability in troubled times!
At the end of the Han Dynasty, when women were as lowly as grass mustard, staying in their hometown, what awaited them was probably just death!
On Penglai, maybe live!
Coming to Penglai with the dream of living and landing on the coast, countless women still feel panicked.
Living in the world, they are only lambs to the slaughter.
No one cares if they live or die, they live. Just waiting for fate to strike the heaviest blow.
The soldiers of the Tianhai battalion came to the shore in a neat phalanx.
Seeing the black woman on the shore, every soldier could not suppress the anticipation in his heart.
After many years of conquest, although there are more women than men everywhere, as a low-level soldier, how many opportunities do you have to get close to Fangze?
Standing at the head of the city, looking at the crowded coast, Yuan Xu looked unfazed.
Standing beside him, Zhen Mi had a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
Her lower abdomen was already bulging, and Yuan Xu's first child was growing up in her womb.
"The husband is married to the soldiers of the three armies. In this way, it is impossible for them to leave Penglai. Looking at the shore of the island where families were about to be assigned to the soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion, Zhen Mi said: "Now there are more women and fewer men on the island, have you ever thought about how to deal with it?" ”
"Zhen Ji didn't say it. Is it reasonable for a male husband to have three wives and four concubines? Yuan Xu said indifferently: "Officers and soldiers in the army, who has meritorious service." What if he is allowed to marry two more wives? ”
"It's just the right place to be accommodated." Zhen Mi said: "It is a reward. Choosing the Beautiful......"
"As a woman, Zhen Ji can be so generous. It's really hard to do. ”
"Everything is like this, the concubine body just follows the etiquette."
Zhen Mi's answer made Yuan Xu speechless for a while.
He has the idea of later generations, and he still thinks that monogamy is reasonable.
This was not the case at the end of the Han Dynasty.
As long as you have great power, even if you have a hundred concubines, it is in line with the number of etiquette!
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion each chose to marry a woman.
With the women, they bowed three times and bowed nine times to Yuan Xu, who was standing on the city wall.
More than 10,000 men and women saluted, and the scene was breathtaking.
The soldiers of the Tianhai Battalion chose their wives, and the next ones were the people who were eliminated by the military.
Since they did not meet the criteria for the selection of soldiers from the Tianhai Battalion, these people remained in Penglai and could only engage in farming or handicrafts.
Although the conquest of the world requires soldiers, Yuan Xu has always adhered to a belief.
Instead of increasing the number of soldiers and taking many soldiers who are not suitable for the expedition to conquer the battlefield and let them lose their lives in vain, it is better to leave more people to cultivate the fields in Penglai and prepare supplies for the soldiers.
Yuan Xu's ideal subordinate is ten farmers to raise one soldier.
Due to Penglai's population restrictions, Yuan Xu never achieved this goal.
The women who were clustered on the shore were chosen to leave.
Yuan Xu said to Zhen Mi: "Zhen Ji, do you feel that there is a ban on this!" ”
"If the husband thinks about it, it must be very reasonable." Zhen Mi said: "Let the husband be the master!" ”
"Someone!" Yuan Xu beckoned behind him.
A guard stepped forward.
"Pass the order, the ladies of the three battalions of Tianhai, Night Thorn, and Wind Shadow are not allowed to have an affair with any man unless they know that their husband is killed in battle!" Yuan Xu ordered: "Once discovered, no matter what identity or status, they will be executed!" In addition, inform the soldiers that if they make military merits, there is another woman to marry! ”
Conveying this order, Yuan Xu did not have the slightest expression.
Glancing at him, Zhen Mi just smiled lightly.
The guards received the order and conveyed it to the three armies.
Zhen Mi asked, "Why did the husband think of such an order?" ”
"The soldiers of the three armies are fighting outside, if the female relatives of the family are messing around, won't it mess up the morale of the army?" Yuan Xu said: "Such an order is also to protect the soldiers from being distracted outside!" ”
"The husband is thoughtful." Zhen Mi said: "The concubine has long thought about this, but she doesn't know how to speak. The husband mentioned today will definitely make the officers and men of the three armies work together! ”
Yuan Xu's order was issued.
The officers and men of the three armies suddenly boiled.
Especially the soldiers who once followed Cao Cao.
followed Cao Cao to fight, and the soldiers made war exploits, as Ergou said, at most, they were only a hundred.
Feudal marquis and worship the prime minister, they are from humble backgrounds and have no possibility at all.
Joining the Tianhai Battalion, he first learned that there would be a generous reward for his military achievements, and after assigning his family, he was guaranteed by many people who were difficult to deal with themselves.
In addition, those who have made military achievements can also marry another wife.
It is undoubtedly a great temptation for them with a humble status.
was already grateful to Yuan Xu, and received two orders that were more favorable to the soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies even had the idea of protecting Penglai rather than die.
For more than a month after that, Tianhai Camp stepped up its hard training every day, making preparations for Yuan Xu's expedition to Xu Du.
Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao and others have also returned to Xudu.
Cao Shuo, who guarded Xudu, sent out scouts every day to explore Penglai's movements along the way.
A big war is quietly kicking off! (To be continued.) )
