Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 795
This sounds like a lot of restrictions, but there are still many people who want to get military status.

After all, as long as you get the military status, you can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

However, the imperial court also strictly limited the number of military registrations, which could not be more or less. People who had military registration but did not join the army were counted as deserters, and were not allowed to do business or be an official. They could only work in agriculture all their lives.

In addition, those who have not married all their lives and have no one to inherit military status will be revoked by the court after retiring at the age of 45.

The soldiers living in Shazhou City are all people with military registration. These people will be dispatched to various places in Shandong in turn to garrison, but most of the time they stay in Shazhou City.

The soldiers lived here, and all their food, clothing, housing and transportation were reimbursed by the imperial court, and they were also paid a few taels of silver every year.

So in the eyes of those matchmakers and matchmakers, all the soldiers are sweet and sweet.

Because these soldiers seldom have contact with women, they often have a deep affection for their wives, and before they get married, most of their military pay is saved except for occasional entertainment, so naturally they don't have to worry about getting married.

Therefore, wherever the army is stationed, there will always be these businessmen.

But now the south of the city where Zhou Shahu and Wu You are facing each other is the place where the camp in the city is located.

It is said to be a big camp, but the soldiers actually lived in houses.

After all, living in a tent was inconvenient and uncomfortable, and it was a helpless move to go out to fight. Now that you live in the city, of course you have to make yourself comfortable.

What's more, it doesn't matter how those young guys live together, but married people can't still bring their wives to live in tents together, right?
And what Wu You is taking people to search now is the residence of these soldiers.

But after searching around, he found something strange. There are many houses around here, and there are other people.

He immediately understood that this should be the family members of the soldiers in the city.

The movement outside the city just now scared them a lot, but Zhou Shahu didn't give an order to retreat, so they dared to stay at home.

They were also taken aback when they suddenly saw Wu You and his troops appear.

But after Wu You discovered this, he immediately told his soldiers not to disturb these family members any more.

Their target was the soldiers in the city, or the culprit was Zhou Shahu.

In fact, Zhou Shahu's soldiers were innocent enough to participate in the battle. If they hurt their relatives again, wouldn't they be more sinful?
But on the other side, Zhou Shahu remembered that there were still many family members of soldiers living here in the city, which made him even more enlightened. It seemed that his decision to fight the opponent was not wrong.

Otherwise, if these family members fall into Wu You's hands, the morale of the army will definitely be lost.

But he also immediately told the news to his soldiers.

It hasn't been long since the Beihai army entered the city, and they certainly haven't threatened their relatives yet.

If they continue to delay, even if they are fine, their relatives may not be.

After hearing the news, the army was startled immediately, and they immediately cheered up, wishing they could rush out and fight the enemy for [-] rounds now.

Of course they were afraid of the grenade in the hands of the Beihai army, but compared with the grenade, it was obvious that the death of their relatives made them feel more worried.

At this moment, Zhou Shahu also began to line up his troops, thinking about how to deal with the enemy in front of him.

The houses in the south of the city are not all densely packed together, but are divided into small areas, with five houses horizontally and twenty families vertically. alley.

But between each area, there is a five-meter-wide road.

Now the troops led by Wu You have been dispersed among the eight communities.

After confirming the news, he immediately divided his troops into eight groups. First, he left 2000 people by his side in case of emergencies. The remaining 8000 people formed a team of 1000 people and formed a square formation. rush out on the road between them, and attack the enemy.

These troops immediately made preparations and moved forward according to Zhou Shahu's order.

But the movement here caught Wu You's attention.

"What? Didn't they get beaten away just now? How come they still have the guts to come back."

Wu You showed a surprised expression on his face, but he looked along the road, and he saw the defenders of Shazhou City rushing towards them.

Seeing this scene, Wu You narrowed his eyes at the same time.

"Hmph, I didn't expect them to still be wicked. If so, then I'll teach them a lesson. Come on, let's get ready for war."

He shouted, but at this moment, someone behind Wu You came up and patted him on the shoulder.

Wu You looked back subconsciously, only to realize that behind him was a big man with a long beard. The big man had a long beard hanging down to his chest. He was tall. , still feels a little smaller.

He was stunned for a few seconds, but after seeing the face of the visitor clearly, he was relieved.

"General Yuchi?"

The person who came was Yu Chiqing, who used to be the leader of the Wu tribe among the various tribes in the grassland, but now he has surrendered to the Great Zhou. Of course, he can't call himself a Khan, but he also got the title of Wanhu, but he can only control the army of Qianhu.

This is also a special case made by the imperial court to take care of him.

The so-called thousands of households refers to how many soldiers can be commanded.

But the household mentioned here, of course, refers to a family.

In other words, a thousand households is not just as simple as being able to command a thousand soldiers, but can be in charge of a thousand families, and each family sends a male to join the army, which is a thousand-man army.

The reason why Yu Chiqing was doing Wanhu was, of course, referring to the members of the Wu clan under him.

There are more than [-] Wu people in total. Because childbearing is not as easy on the grasslands as it is in the Central Plains, generally speaking, a couple only has two to three children, and one of them often dies halfway through.

Counting the entire Wu clan, there are almost [-] households.

There are [-] households, but there can only be [-] permanent troops. This is also the imperial court's attempt to limit Yu Chiqing's power.

But the imperial court also gave Yu Chiqing some benefits. For example, the people under his control can be exempted from taxes, and the imperial court will buy some horses from them every year.

In addition, they have their own land in Heixi City and Jiqiu City in Beihai. As long as they work hard, farming and grazing will lead a good life.

But this time, when Yu Chiqing heard that Qin Feng was going all the way south, he volunteered to follow him.

Of course, he didn't come here alone, he went south with Yu Chiqing, and his thousand-man army.
