0113 Recruit new recruits
However, the government military system was not perfect, it was based on the uniform land system, and once the land policy was destroyed, it would collapse.
Another disadvantage of the government soldiers is that the father dies and the son succeeds, which was originally a benefit, but it quickly became a burden.
People can reproduce, and a man who is a soldier and divides 200 acres of land can make a husband and wife and their children live a rich life.
More than ten years later, the children grew up and got married, and the population became seven or eight, and 200 acres of land could still allow them to live a well-off life.
But what about thirty or fifty years from now? This family will become twenty or thirty people, and two hundred acres of land will be enough for them to eat, and one more government soldier will only go hungry or even bankrupt.
It's still all going well for the family, if you get sick or have a disaster along the way...... will accelerate their loss of land.
The Tang Dynasty's government military system was bankrupt because of this, and Tang Xuanzong began to engage in the recruitment system in the middle and late periods, which means that the Tang Dynasty's government military system only lasted less than a hundred years.
Wen Yi knows this period of history, so there is a difference between his government and military system and his previous life, and the most important thing is to remove the article that the father died and the son succeeded.
It's your own business to be a soldier, and it's your own business if you die. If your son wants to come, then redivide the land.
Once the land is divided, it belongs to the individual, and if the government soldiers die in battle or retire from the army, the allocated land will not be recovered, but will be inherited by his legal heirs.
Otherwise, there would be no difference between the government military system and recruitment, and the soldiers would not dare to fight to the death.
The disadvantage of this is that there is a greater demand for land, and the state needs to have enough land in its hands, otherwise it will not be able to recruit soldiers for many years.
But he is not worried at all, now he has a lot of land in his hands, and Yizhou Island alone can reclaim more than 5 million acres of arable land, not to mention the larger Luzon Island.
(At present, the province has more than 9.8 million mu of cultivated land, which is 14 million mu when converted into Jin mu.) And that's not even counting the vast ranches owned by the wealthy. )
Now he lacks not land, but people.
The land he gave to each soldier was 200 acres, which is 140 acres in modern times.
In other words, he bought out a person's life for the price of one hundred and forty acres of land.
Don't feel cheap, in ancient times, this was a difficult business to find, and countless people wanted it but couldn't get it.
For example, now, when Xiao Baishan posted the conscription notice and saw the benefits of dividing 200 acres of land, the registration point was immediately crowded by the crowd that swarmed.
Although the Yamen divided the land once after the displaced people migrated, there was not much land at that time, and no one thought that their own land was too much.
Especially for those who have a large number of men in the family, almost all of them have selected a child to join the army. The four hundred places were filled in half a day, and there were many who came late and regretted it.
The slang people were also going well, and Wen Yi was originally worried about whether they would be resistant, but after the announcement was released, he realized that he was thinking too much.
Again, slang people are also people, and they also know the warmth and coldness of people. Who is good for them and who is bad for them, they know very well in their hearts.
Wen Yi is the one who is really good to them.
Of course, it was the defense manual that played a decisive role, which made the slang fight recognize his rule in his heart.
Therefore, the slang people also signed up enthusiastically, and the quota of 800 people was quickly filled.
This result made Wen Yi very happy and proud.
He did not disappoint these people who trusted him, and distributed land to these soldiers as quickly as possible, and the whole family of the Slang soldiers was changed to Han household registration.
A total of two battalions of soldiers were handed over to Yue Shan and Liu Meng to lead them and intensify their training.
The Langhu Army's continuous big moves naturally can't hide from people, especially Sun Tai, who usually follows Xiao Baishan to learn, and is even more clear about their movements.
He reported the situation to Du Zigong as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Du Zigong said: "The food in Jin'an County is already insufficient, and the people usually have to rely on fishing to make a living, and there must be a reason for their sudden large-scale conscription." ”
But where can they use their troops? You often haunt the Yamen of Jin'an County, have you heard any special news? ”
Sun Taigang wanted to shake his head, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said:
"A few days ago, Zhao Zhengzhi took more than 100 people to sea by boat, he is the head of Wen Yi's fine work, there must be a big event in person, will it have something to do with this matter?"
Du Zigong affirmed: "Most of them are going to spy on the enemy." ”
Sun Tai asked, "What should we do?" ”
Du Zigong said lightly: "Just do nothing and look at it, you remember that we are the Five Doumi Sect, the purpose is to promote the doctrine, and these secular battles have nothing to do with us." ”
"If you can't grasp this line, it will inevitably be a catastrophe in the future, and it will also affect the Five Doumi Sect."
Sun Tai was shocked in his heart, knowing that his plan had been seen through, so he quickly put away his careful thoughts and said, "Yes, the disciple understands." ”
Of course, at this time, he had no intention of rebelling, but just wanted to use this incident as a breakthrough to break into the internal preaching of the Langhu forces.
Du Zigong didn't continue to talk about this topic, and instead asked, "Is there any news about the crystal?" ”
Sun Tai replied: "The news has been passed to the north, and the Daoists have mobilized all their forces to find it. Although the crystal is precious, it is not nothing, and I think there will be news soon. ”
Du Zigong urged: "If you write a letter to urge again, you will say that 100,000 is urgent." ”
As the research deepened, the rationality of the medical knowledge imparted to him by Wen Yi was confirmed. The reason why rationality is used instead of correctness is that there is still a lack of sufficient practical proof.
But even that was enough to drive him crazy, and he devoted almost all his energy to the research of new medicine.
The research of new medicine is inseparable from the microscope, and now he is desperate to find a qualified crystal as soon as possible and make a microscope.
After chatting about the crystal, Sun Tai remembered another thing, and said: "There is news from the north that the Wang family has gathered 7,000 displaced people to prepare to send them to Jin'an County, and it is estimated that they will leave in the next few days." ”
Du Zigong was puzzled and said, "Oh, why? ”
Sun Tai told them what had happened in the court.
After listening, Du Zigong couldn't help but shake his head and said four words: "Meat eaters despise." ”
Sun Tai asked, "Shall we tell Wen Yi the news?" ”
Du Zigong thought for a while and said, "No, don't say anything." Didn't Wen Yi want us to meddle in the affairs of Jin'an County, we can't do things that make people angry. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "I would like to see how he is going to resettle these 7,000 displaced people when there is already a shortage of food." ”
On the other side, after the two battalions of 1,200 soldiers were in place, rigorous training began.
The 1,200 men were all sailors, who spent half the day training physical fitness on the shore and half of the day going into the water to practice swimming and sailing.
Slang people are good to say, they can adapt to life on board. The Han soldiers are not good, they are all northerners, many of them can't even swim, and many of them still have seasickness.
Just getting them to learn to swim and overcome seasickness can be a hassle.
During the training process, there were also many top-notch people, the most prominent of which was a slang man named Wu Heng.
The ability in all aspects not only surpassed the soldiers of the same period, but even many Langhu veterans were surpassed by him.
Especially in commanding warships, it is convenient to fight, and he is very skilled, and those who don't know him think that he is a famous general in water warfare.
After investigation, it was learned that his original name was Vulture Bone, and he was an elder of the Shiyan Cave tribe, who backstabbed Allah in the final battle and surrendered.
Yue Shan didn't dare to call the shots, so he reported the news to Wen Yi.
Wen Yi investigated his experience in detail, he is a person of credibility and does things fairly.
This character is very likable, but Wen Yi did not rush to promote him, but asked Yue Shan to treat him as an ordinary person.
How to train, how to train, if you make a mistake, you will be punished and promoted, but he wants to see how far this slang man can go.
