"Gray? Why are you here? ”

Seeing Gregory standing near the entrance to the barracks, Sawyer took a few quick steps and went up to say hello.

"Ah, it's Sawyer." Turning his head to look at Sawyer, Gregory was not too surprised, but looked up and pointed to the two middle-aged men on the school field: "That's my dad, that's Corey's dad, both of them are here, I can't come." ”

The clerk who followed Sawyer naturally recognized Gregory, and after hearing this, his face suddenly tightened, and he quietly took two steps back, turned around and walked towards the center of the barracks.

The clerk's departure did not alarm Sawyer and Gregory, but Sawyer's face was not very good-looking: "Your father? And Corey's dad? ”

Sawyer remembers very well that Gregory's father was a skilled blacksmith who made weapons that were sought after by many low-level professionals, not to mention Corey's father, who muttered all day long that Cory would go home and inherit the apothecary!

"Yes," Corey nodded, "Didn't you just pass some kind of wartime mobilization decree, in order to resist this black tide, ordinary people without cultivation talent also have to undergo a week of intensive training, you should know this." ”

When he said these words, although Gregory's tone was a little complaining, there was no resentment in his eyes when he looked at Soy Ya, but he was still comforting Sawyer: "Don't worry, I can understand you, after all, this Black Tide is unusual, and ordinary people are going to be mobilized to ......"

"Fart!"

Sawyer rudely interrupted Gregory's words, looking at Gregory's surprised eyes, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained simply: "This matter is not that simple. ”

After saying this, Sawyer stopped talking, he stood there with a cold face, and in the distance, a panicked officer was running to this side, and behind the officer, there was a panting clerk.

Looking at the panicked look on the officer's face, Sawyer's expression became more and more cold, and he snorted angrily, which immediately frightened the officer to the point that his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a plop, dragging a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground with his legs, and just stopped in front of Sawyer.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Sawa said with a cold face.

The officer's head hung lower, and his body bent down, until at last his head was pressed to the ground.

"Nothing to say? That's right," Sawyer glanced at the clerk who had just run back, "Remove him from his position, and then put him in the first line of defense formation!" ”

Hearing this, the officer's face turned white with fright: "My lord! I ......"

"What, what else do you have to say? Take! ”

Sawyer waved his hand impatiently, and the clerk hurriedly reached out and grabbed the officer, but he didn't pull it after a few pulls, but instead used too much force to stagger.

The officer knelt in front of Sawyer, gritting his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "My lord! I worked! I know who ordered this! I am willing to testify against them for the adults! ”

"Oh? Tainted witnesses? ”

Sawyer spit out a word with a cold face, which made the officer's eyes show a little hope, although he didn't understand what a "tainted witness" was, but he could see that Sawyer was interested in what he said! If you are interested, it means that you have a way to live!

But before the officer could speak again, Sawyer waved his hand and said, "You take a few people, take him back to my manor, and wait for me to go back." ”

"Yes!"

The clerk answered, and at this time, several soldiers beside him also gathered around, and the clerk waved them over, and after giving some orders, two soldiers immediately picked up the officer and dragged him in the direction of the inner city, while the remaining few turned and ran towards the officer's room, and the clerk followed.

The anger in Sawyer's heart also subsided a little, and then he explained to Gregory, the melon-eating crowd next to him.

Like he said before, it's not that simple.

A few hours earlier, in order to persuade the legislators to pass the wartime mobilization decree, in addition to moving out of the name of Rowena several times, he had also delineated in detail the scope of mobilization, mainly compulsory conscription, which mainly included five categories of people: peasants, miners, porters, caravan guards, and undisabled vagrants.

Farmers, a large number of people, is also the most basic occupation around the city, the so-called people take food as the sky, this principle is common in any world, saying that if there are no farmers, even if there is no black tide, the city will not last for a few years.

However, in the layout of the Blue City, most of the farmland is in the outermost ring area, and close to the city wall, and during the outbreak of the Kuroshio, these farmlands will be requisitioned, some of which will be used for defensive materials, and the rest will be used as a temporary camp for adventurers, so that they can support the front line at any time.

In other words, during the outbreak of black ridicule, and the period before and after the outbreak, it was the agricultural break period in Blue City, and the peasants were idle at home with nothing to do.

Needless to say, the farmland is still on the inside of the city walls, but the mines are outside the city walls, and once the Kuroshio erupts, these mines will be closed and will not be restarted until the Kuroshio subsides.

Therefore, for the miners who were also idle at home, Sawyer was not polite, and was included in the scope of requisition like the peasants.

As for the porters and caravan guards, the main service objects of these people are the major chambers of commerce, and now that the Kuroshio is approaching, the major chambers of commerce have already recalled their respective caravans, and Sawa has made a unified deployment of the chamber of commerce's materials, so naturally there is no need for porters and guards.

Soya also included the porters and caravan guards in the scope of requisition, but unlike the peasants and miners, the porters still did their old jobs after being requisitioned, gathering materials from all over the city to temporary storage points near the city walls, and the caravan guards who had received combat training and had some combat experience were incorporated into the militia sequence as squad leaders, responsible for receiving and transmitting combat orders on the battlefield.

As for the non-disabled and unemployed...... Do you need any more reason to recruit them?

These five occupations are all within the scope of compulsory recruitment, and after being recruited, they will be forcibly integrated into the militia sequence for training, in addition to the non-compulsory recruitment group and the compulsory non-recruitment group.

It is not difficult to understand that these people can voluntarily join the militia and receive subsidies like other militias, or they can not join the militia and continue to work in their original positions.

The compulsory non-conscripted people, mainly including the producers and processors of important war materials, will be prohibited from joining the militia, and will be given subsidies by the parliament to stay in their original professional positions and work overtime.

Coincidentally, blacksmiths and pharmacists are among the compulsory non-conscription groups.
