Difficult to recruit?

Lu Shuang didn't react for a while, when will it be the turn of Feitian City to recruit troops?

Seeing Lu Shuang's doubts, Wang He explained: "My lord, since the rules of heaven and earth have changed, we have not been able to increase the population by other means, and the original residents are all employed, and it is not appropriate to force them into the barracks, so the number of soldiers will be reduced, and a large number of conscription work cannot be completed in a short period of time." ”

"Alas, it's all the system's fault." Lu Shuang knew that there were almost 10,000 displaced people in the entire territory every day, and usually one to two thousand people were selected from these 10,000 people as conscription targets, and if an additional 50,000 people were recruited, it was estimated that it would take at least half a month to complete, but in addition to conscription, there were also training, and Lu Shuang couldn't wait that long.

"That's it, there is not a shortage of other professions in the territory at present, either complete the recruitment of these 50,000 people first, and then restore the normal recruitment ratio, or stop the recruitment within ten days and eight days, I want to give priority to solving the affairs of Tianya Village and Yizhou, Cao Lao, Huang Shi, what do you think?"

"Back to the lord, at present, all walks of life in the territory are thriving and manpowered, if it is only a large number of conscripts in a short period of time, it will not have a great impact. Moreover, life talents are not as good as soldiers, their growth cycle is very long, soldiers only need to train for a week or two to have combat effectiveness, life talents need at least 20 days to comprehend the primary skills, less these days have little impact. Cao Lao replied.

"Okay, then do it, the Personnel Department of the Ministry of War should be ready, Zhou Bai, you will assist the Personnel Department when you arrive, and open the naval barracks in Iron Sail City to recruits."

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Zhou Bai said at the same time as the director of the Personnel Department.

Lu Shuang secretly calculated in his heart, and found that the ratio of soldiers and civilians in Feitian City had reached a very frightening ratio, with a total population of nearly 2.8 million now, but there were more than 500,000 troops, almost four residents raised a soldier, if it was placed in ancient times with low productivity, it would probably take about ten households to raise a soldier, and only with higher productivity could it be like Lu Shuang's large-scale conscription.

However, when Yizhou is developed and has a larger population and a wider territory, after the population base increases, this military-civilian ratio can slowly decrease, and the territory does not have to bear such a big pressure burden.

"Zhou Bai, do you have any good suggestions for sending the navy to Yizhou?" Lu Shuang asked.

"Returning to the lord, the last general thinks that although these 50,000 recruits can play a great role in the development of Yizhou, they are not suitable for the first batch of soldiers, but for the development task after the advance force settles in Yizhou, and the advance force must be composed of the main army in order to take on this important task."

"The last general suggested that a naval corps should be sent first, and after reaching Yizhou first, occupy a favorable terrain and establish fortifications, so as to provide a safe place for the troops to come later, and prevent the local aborigines or wild beasts from threatening the soldiers. The second group of troops going to Yizhou can use carrier pigeons to communicate with each other within three to five days of the departure of the advance force to ensure the timeliness of information communication. The second batch of troops can mainly send sixth-order soldiers and new recruits, and bring transport ships to transport some key supplies over, which is the first step of the plan. ”

"The second step is to subdue the indigenous people. In view of the fact that the combined number of troops in the two groups is more than 80,000, we can rely on our strong strength to subdue some nearby villages or towns and other settlements one by one, expand the area with points, expand the radiation area, and send soldiers to garrison after subduing them, so as to prevent large-scale resistance by the aborigines. If you encounter a small city-level city in the process of advancing, don't attack it for the time being, send enough scouts to monitor the city's every move, and wait for us to settle down a little before making another plan. ”

Zhou Bai's strategic plan must be more than that, he just summarized it simply, and then a very detailed battle plan will be handed to Lu Shuang's office. Since Lu Shuang told Zhou Bai that there was a military operation in Yizhou that he needed to be responsible for, Zhou Bai showed great enthusiasm, maybe for him who was promoted to a king-level general, it was no longer challenging to fight pirates in a small fight, and more difficult tasks were needed to reflect his value.

"Calculate it this way, we need to send a total of 80,000 troops before and after, and maybe add some life talents, count him 80,000, which means that Tianya Village needs to build a ship that can accommodate 80,000 people in the future, as well as carry the materials in the past, I don't know if we can complete the task on time?" Lu Shuang worries that if there are not enough ships, then the departure date can only be postponed, or the number of people departing will be reduced.

"This lord doesn't have to worry." Zhou Bai said with a smile: "According to the standard number of people that a four-masted galleon can accommodate, each ship can carry two hundred people, and it may be fifty more people if you squeeze a little, which is indeed far from enough." However, the four-masted galleon is a warship after all, and it is destined to be inferior to the transport ship in terms of transportation, and a special class transport ship can carry 500 people after modification, and the time required for the special class transport ship is much shorter than that of the four-masted sailing ship, and it may be able to make a ship that can accommodate 30,000 people, fresh water, and food before departure, and then it is actually only necessary to send twenty four-masted galleons and some low-level warships to be distributed on the sides and front and rear to escort it. "Zhou Bai has been transporting troops to fight a lot and is familiar with this aspect.

"Well, then arrange for more shipbuilders to go to Tianya Village, and other professions will not be missing." Lu Shuang felt that there were a little fewer people who had brought over at the beginning, and if he had brought a few more king-level professions over, many problems might be solved.

Suddenly, Lu Shuang recalled that Zhou Bai had just said that when encountering the aboriginal city, he should temporarily avoid the war, and then consider attacking it when he has the ability, Lu Shuang did not object to this, after all, the generals had to act according to his actual situation at the time, and Lu Shuang, who was far away in the sky, was not good at intervening too much, but he didn't want to delay too long when he encountered the city, and said: "Zhou Bai, we don't have any specific situation about Yizhou now, this time you lead the army over, you must be careful, and you must not act recklessly for the sake of progress." And if you encounter a city in the process, if you have the ability to take it, you can act as soon as possible, because once you take a city above a small city, we can open the teleportation array, which will have a big strategic impact on our operation. ”

Lu Shuang thought to herself, no matter how Shen Ying described the backwardness of the aborigines in Yizhou at that time, according to the normal setting of the system, generally large aboriginal settlements would have small city-level cities, and it would be too shabby if there were none. However, having the strength to build a small city, and having the strength to defend it is another thing, the soldiers of Feitian City are known for their excellent equipment, and I believe that under the strong ships and artillery, there are no impenetrable city walls and gates, as long as a city is taken and a teleportation array is built, then Yizhou is equivalent to his back garden, and there is no need to build a Tianya Village as a springboard, and he can directly transfer troops to the past.

And in order to be more safe, Lu Shuang transported a batch of catapults and ballistas to Tianya Village, and used the space ring to hold as many as five or six at a time, and sent people to take his space ring back and forth dozens of times, not only did he send siege weapons over, but even the equipment and materials were loaded onto the transport ship and drove to Tianya Village. 2k reading web
