In the country of abandonment of boats, slavery represented more than just a difference in status. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a slave, you will first lose a lot of choice, and the value of survival will be greatly squeezed, in short, in a word.

-- Slave life, as cheap as grass!

Of the ten people who broke through, except for Guan Xin, who is a child of the family, the remaining nine are all slaves, but they are all the ones who came back from the market, and they only have black circles around their necks and do not have family crests.

After these slaves were replaced, their necks were not stamped with the family crest, and everyone tacitly did not say much about this matter, because the black circle slave mark branded with the family emblem and the blank slave mark were completely different things.

According to the laws issued by the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat, each black circle contains a shackle of imprints drawn with specific materials, once branded, not only can the whereabouts of the enslaved person be tracked by the family using specific methods, but it is also impossible to remove the enslavement mark before reaching a certain strength condition.

Slave marks that are not marked with the family crest can only be removed if they are promoted to the rank of soldier.

The slave seal of the third-level town and city family needs the middle section of the soldier level.

The second-level town and city family slave seal requires a high level of soldiers.

Corresponding upwards in turn, the imperial capital slave seal, the removal condition is that the enslaved person needs to reach the secretary level!

These conditions are still based on the premise that the slave owners are willing to get rid of them, and if there is no such premise, the demand for the independent destruction of the slave mark would have to cross a large level!

Now, Qiao Ximing has confirmed the truth of his words with his actions, which means that the slaves who have been purchased back only need to break through to the rank of soldier, and they can all restore their free status.

As for the servants and slaves from Huang Liu's family, they needed to reach the middle of the military level to get rid of the slave seal, but this would not disappoint them, but even more stimulated their thoughts to break through.

Especially Huang Liu, the moment he saw Guan Xin's breath, the emotions in his heart were even more complicated, full of jealousy. However, thinking of the Qing-level exercises that Qiao Ximing gave him, a wave of enthusiasm welled up in his heart, and he finally became more serious than ever during the training.

And Qiao Dingtong has a quiet personality, and the level of training he can add to himself is several points more than before.

These changes were exactly what Qiao Ximing was looking forward to, and he silently watched them in his eyes.

However, he has one more thing to operate. All five teams were ordered by him, and each team was to be divided into ten groups of roughly even strength, each group of thirteen people, of which the strongest one was listed as the leader of the group of ten.

Although there are actually twelve people under the ten leaders, some of them are not in name, and the reorganization of the team has been determined, and no one will stop this kind of trivial matter.

As a result, the two hundred regular sergeants were roughly evenly divided into fifty groups, each of which consisted of more or less four ranks and nine reservists. The list was constantly adjusted by Qiao Ximing on the stage, and it was not officially determined until the afternoon.

The intention of this grouping Qiao Ximing didn't explain at all, only Wei Lun and the two lieutenants Ai and Tu, who had been looking at him coldly, had some general concepts in their hearts.

In the army, the hundred-man team is not the smallest group unit to be controlled, such as the reconnaissance team will have a three-person team or a five-person team, and the cleaning team will also have an eight-person team, and in the normal military system, there are also ten-person squads below the hundred-person team, and the position of ten-person leader is not just a fictitious position.

In fact, in addition to better managing the effect, the establishment of the group of ten is extremely important, that is......

- Formation!

The classics of the three major towns and states of the Abandoned Boat Empire, among them, the Chiyou War Sutra records countless military formations, each of which will have different requirements in terms of number or ability level.

Some of these military formations are also free and open, but unlike the Yellow Emperor Dao Sutra Intermediate Soldier-level Initial Stage Exercises, which are open to everyone, the opening of free military formations is only for military forces, and civilians and families do not have this kind of benefit. If non-military forces try to drill military formations, then they need to pay a certain amount of military expenses to the army, which is counted as the cost of studying.

The military array is divided into five grades, from the lowest five-grade military array that can be used without an ability level, to the first-grade military array that can only be used by the minister, which is an important weapon used by the army to fight against brute beasts.

To deal with the powerful brute beasts of individual strength, the military array can integrate the strength of multiple soldiers into a whole, so that they can cross the level to fight, and the large number of brute beasts, the military array can effectively try to divide and contain them.

For the sake of the smallest unit, the group of ten people, there are five military formations distributed free of charge, namely the five-grade army formation, the three-talent formation, the five-tiger formation, and the unity formation, and the four-rank military formation, the assault formation, and the company defense formation. These five formations are the basic formations that sergeants must learn, especially the unity formation.

The unity array, as the name suggests, is the integration of more forces, which refers to the connection of small military formations to form a larger military formation to play a greater role. For example, a group of ten people can form three three-talent formations, and at this time, with the remaining one person as the center, supplemented by a unity formation to connect, you can form a big three-talent formation.

Similarly, the connection of two Five Tiger Formations can form the Ten Tiger Formations, and in group battles, the Unity Array is needed to connect all the assault formations and the company defense formations to form a legion force, which shows that the Unity Array is the most basic of all formations.

Therefore, the group of ten is the smallest group unit established in the imperial military law, because this number can accurately complete these five basic formations. But it is precisely because of this that the two lieutenants, Ai and Tu, and Wei Lun also have doubts in their hearts.

The group of thirteen people clashed with all the five basic military formations in terms of numbers, and this setting greatly hindered the training of the sergeants in the military formation, but Qiao Ximing was obviously not a person who did not understand military law, and he must have his own reasons for choosing this approach.

"Thirteen...... Is there such a military formation?" Captain Ai was a little puzzled, and asked Captain Tu in a low voice. But after discussing with the two, they couldn't imagine that the military formation would be based on the number of thirteen people, and they were helpless under the flickering eyes, so they couldn't ask Qiao Ximing's true intentions.

However, this grouping is really time-consuming, and it also takes time for the members to run in with each other, and half of the afternoon is passed in an instant.

While all the sergeants were sweating and shouting for training, the door of the military field suddenly opened.

"Yes, everyone is training very hard!" The pale red fur appeared, and it was Zuo Si Ge Du Tianwen who suddenly came to the military field in the afternoon, and Uncle Gen, who was dressed as a groom, followed slowly.

Qiao Ximing looked at Du Tianwen's figure, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Although Du Tianwen is the real Zuo Sige, he simply handed over all the affairs of the military field to Qiao Ximing, and he usually spends his time outside the activities, or goes to several families to socialize, or visits the towns and cities, and his temperament does not like the atmosphere of this military field.

There must be something going on with this sudden visit.

"Si Ge!" Ai, Tu, and Qiao Ximing all bowed their heads and saluted, allowing Du Tian to smell the military platform.

"No need to be polite, you continue to train, I just have something to ask Captain Qiao. ”

Listening to Du Tianwen's indifferent smiling words, Ai and Tu lowered their heads and their eyes flickered a few times, and then they were ordered to return to their respective teams to direct training, but their eyes would still look over from time to time, obviously caring about Du Tianwen's intentions.

"Uncle Gen. Qiao Xi nodded slightly to Uncle Gen as a sign of respect, and the other party returned the salute, but he was still silent. Then Qiao Ximing looked at Du Tianwen again: "What's the matter?"

Du Tianwen's eyes paused for a moment in the group of thirteen people in the audience, and asked indifferently, "Uncle Gen told me, you tried to break through last night?"

Qiao Ximing did not hesitate, nodded and responded, "Yes." ”

"Failed?"

“...... Well, it's still a high-level soldier. ”

"Need any help?"

“...... No need, it's fine. ”

Du Tianwen paused. He didn't ask Qiao Ximing about the reason behind the failure of this breakthrough, and seeing that he had already said that it was okay, he also directly changed the topic: "The number of reserves, is it still much worse?"

Qiao Ximing's eyes swept over the sergeants in the audience, and nodded: "Now there are only four hundred and fifty people, give me about four hundred, and it should be barely completed." ”

"Then the last time you went to Zhennanji," the smile on Du Tianwen's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of laziness in his eyes that Qiao Ximing could see: "Is the person who received you called Cross?"

Old Cross?

The slave trader who could laugh cheekily at any time popped up in Qiao Ximing's mind, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"He's right, what's wrong?"

"He sent a message to the house today, saying that he had arrived there with a new batch of good quality, and he came to tell you the news. ”

Last time in Zhennanji, the old Cross did make a lot of money, but Qiao Ximing still made him suffer a small loss, which was regarded as provoking the relationship between him and Qin Ziyu, and now it is to reveal the news of the arrival of the new goods, but it makes Qiao Ximing frown.

"This man is very good, and he should have other purposes. His news may have also been revealed to the right Si Ge Mansion......"

"So what? Do you think you should rob it?"

"Rob, of course, rob!" Qiao Ximing replied decisively: "This old Cross is indeed very shrewd, and wants to use the competition between the two of us again to raise the price of his goods, but he missed a little. Qin Ziyu's demand for reserves is not big at all!"

"Are you saying that Qin Ziyu won't compete with us for this batch of slaves?"

"No!

"Huh?" Du Tianwen raised his eyebrows.

"Qin Ziyu does not have the need for reserves, because he is completely able to rely on the support of the Qin family to complete the thousand-man army without worries, as the only seedling of the Qin family, he is not as worried about being framed as you at all. However, you and him are in competition now, and I offended him last time, so even if he doesn't need this batch of slaves, his people will definitely appear in Zhennanji to put an obstacle on you!"

"You know, you spent a lot of money last time, and we don't have much money left. ”

"It doesn't matter. This...... I don't have the financial resources to suppress him. ”

Du Tianwen glanced at Qiao Ximing for a few moments, and then said, "I'm going to go too." ”

"Oh?" Now it was Qiao Ximing's turn to be puzzled, according to Du Tianwen's normal temperament, it was impossible to be so concerned about this matter.

Sure enough, Du Tianwen replied, "The slave trader also brought me a word." ”

"What?"

"Zhennanji this time, a Ding furnace was purchased!"
