"Military Field System" is:
Soldiers who served in the Song Dynasty will be awarded land in addition to the salary of the Song Dynasty according to their official positions;
The land granted can be managed by the state before the soldiers retire or sacrifice, and it will be distributed every year after deducting taxes and management fees from the income of the land;
Or the soldiers themselves hire someone to manage it, and pay a certain tax every year.
After the soldiers retire and sacrifice, the land will be directly distributed to the soldiers themselves or the soldiers' families for the purpose of supporting the family and can be passed on to future generations.
Starting with the 'corporal' in the rank of soldier:
The corporal granted 5 acres of land;
The sergeant granted 7 acres of land;
The sergeant granted 10 acres of land;
15 acres of land awarded to the second lieutenant;
The general granted 300 acres of land;
The marshal granted 500 acres of land;
The generalissimo granted 1,000 acres of land.
The land of Australia and Song Dynasty is very sufficient, and there are 470,000 square kilometers of arable land in Australia in later generations, that is, 700 million acres of arable land;
According to this conversion, Ao Song can grant a maximum of 140 million corporals or 700,000 generalissimos
In the end, even if the land of Australia and Song is divided, there are still overseas colonies in the world to be divided, and the coolest thing in the world is to divide the world.
It's just too strong!
However, of course, it is impossible for Zhang Yanzhi to raise so many troops!
This is just an example.
It was as if the entire Ao Song Dynasty was already Zhang Yanzhi's, and it was divided casually. As everyone knows, the entire Australian Song has not yet been beaten!
In fact, Zhang Yanzhi took out the 'Ao-Song Dynasty that the soldiers will fight in the future' in advance to divide, and only allocated a small part to reward them.
Similar to options.
You can imagine the scene before the battle in the future.
Zhang Yanzhi, who was wearing a generalissimo uniform, patted the soldiers on the shoulders and encouraged:
"The 'revolution' has not yet succeeded. Soldiers still need to work hard! ”
The morale of the soldiers was immediately boosted, and they fought for Zhang Yanzhi in front of the horse and after the horse;
was sold by Zhang Yanzhi, and he was grateful to count the money for him
But. Because Ao-Song is far away from the mainland of China, and Zhang Yanzhi himself will not be permanently here;
In the future, it is impossible for Zhang Yanzhi to be present and command in person every time before the army moves, right?
In this way, it will take until the Year of the Monkey to conquer the entire Australian Song?
Therefore, it is very important to motivate the morale of the soldiers and stimulate their initiative!
In addition, "Slavery" is a system specially established to manage slaves in conjunction with the "Military Land System";
Because the fields of the Song Dynasty were abundant, the fields of the soldiers and the state also needed a lot of people to cultivate them, so a large number of slaves were needed, just as in the American South before the Civil War.
Every time the Australian and Song armies went to war, 8 percent of the prisoners brought back would be owned by the Australian and Song states, and 2 percent would be taken out and sold to individuals. It is used for engineering construction or farming, etc.
"Slavery" is mainly aimed at aliens, or slaves who were bought or looted or taken prisoners of war;
In addition to stipulating that Han slaves do not intermarry and Han people do not become slaves, it also guarantees the basic right to life of slaves.
First, if you have worked for the master/country for 20 years, have no bad deeds, and have learned Chinese and Chinese characters, and passed the Chinese culture test, you will obtain Chinese nationality. Freedom from slavery.
Second, he understands Chinese, is loyal to the Australian Song Dynasty, and has meritorious service such as military exploits. and pardoned by the king.
Those who have been freed from slavery have the priority to redeem their relatives and friends;
But even if he buys it back, his friends and relatives will still be slaves, unless they also go through the above two ascending paths
"In the name of the prince of the Macao Song Dynasty and the governor of the New Macao Song Dynasty, I officially promulgated the "Military Field System" of the Macao and Song Dynasty!"
"I'm not training today. You may go to your own chief and register; ”
"Sign up to see if there are any relatives and friends at home, and write letters;"
"As long as you get to Goose City. I can bring them over next time, free of charge. On the way, there is also food and shelter; ”
"I give them land to plant, and I don't charge rent for the first three years, and I have to lend them tools!"
"Every time you bring in a family of relatives and friends, you can get half an acre of land when the land is divided!"
"On the one hand, of course, such a good thing should be introduced to relatives and friends;"
"On the other hand, it also prevents Commander Lei from persecuting them."
Zhang Yanzhi is really getting more and more undisciplined and has no lower limit:
It hasn't been a few minutes since he issued the 'Juntian Option Ticket';
The additional issuance of 'pulling people to donate land tickets' is added, these are all future land, and it is unknown whether it can be realized or not.
And what he said was both luring and threatening, it was really difficult to choose;
In particular, one of the reserve captains was very entangled;
At this moment, he is holding a relative's 'friend registration form' in a daze-
The reservists who could not write were registered one by one by the chief, and the progress was very slow;
Those who can write can receive registration forms and letters;
Of course, this is a very small number, and this guy in front of him is a maverick.
"Captain Wu - although it is humiliating for you to be captured by the wildlings;"
"But we have to admire your talent: you can actually write!" One of the brothers exclaimed.
"Trouble Captain Wu, you can also help us write it down later, I can get at least two more acres of land, hehe!"
"What is two acres of land, there are many brothers in my hometown, and it is not surprising that there are more than five acres of land at a time!"
"Hmph, what is this, I-"
Several people began to brag, and soon digressed and forgot their original purpose;
But the tangled captain did not participate in the bragging meeting;
He is the pig's foot of "Saving the Soldier", the ridiculed waste captain Wu Mengqi.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to put pen to paper, and wrote the words 'Goose City Zhufu Lingwei' in the name column of his relatives;
In the relationship column, the words 'cousins' are written
Here, the reservists are in full swing pulling heads;
On the other hand, the natives targeted by "Slavery" now have no sense of oppression;
They worship the strong, obey the strong, and obediently obey the captives since they are captives;
I didn't even think about how to escape, I didn't think about how to rebel, I really didn't have the spirit of resistance.
If they had half the spirit of rebellion of the North American Indians, Zhang Yanzhi's slave plan would have been in vain;
However, according to later data, when the British landed in Australia in 1788, Australia's indigenous population was just over 300,000 people.
At present, when Zhang Yanzhi established the New Macao Song-New Macau, it was more than 150 years ago when the British landed in Australia, and the population may not be much different, but it is also about 300,000.
Zhang Yanzhi is preparing to return to the Song Dynasty, not to mention tens of millions of Chinese, how can it be less than five million!
300,000 slaves is a very small number for a country of five million people! ①
And on the way to conquer the Australian Song Dynasty, the army must also kill a lot of natives.
There are simply not enough slaves in this way!
It seems that in the future, it is imperative to buy black slaves and go to the islands to arrest people.
(1) Proportion of slaves in the total population:
50% in Ancient Greece, 20% in Ancient Rome, and 14% before the American Revolution (1775).
In the 17th century (around the end of the Ming Dynasty), the price of a black slave was equivalent to 200 US dollars, which was only worth 1.3 taels of silver at that time. (To be continued......)
