Great Song Pirate

Chapter 381 Conscription
There is no suspense in the next battle. This tribe was not fully prepared and faced the battle hastily. Moreover, as soon as the two sides met at Taniguchi, under several rounds of bows and arrows, their tribal warriors died in large numbers, and they were powerless again. Stop the attack of the army in front of you.

When the sun began to slowly set towards the west and a cloud of thick smoke rose from this tribe, a tribe in this world declared its demise. Yang Zaixing looked back at the mountain col filled with thick smoke. Such a one-sided battle Just as he expected, there was nothing to show off. Although he couldn't understand what the natives were shouting, he could read their resentment from the eyes of the natives before they died.

When Yang Zaixing led the troops back to the barracks, it was already dark. After seeing them come back, Xu Yi's heart was completely put back in his stomach. Xu Yi personally went out of the camp to welcome them back to the barracks. In one day, the temperament of these returning people has undergone an imperceptible change. After this battle, everyone's hands are stained with the blood of the enemy. No wonder some people say that a soldier can only die after seeing blood In order to become a real soldier, a real heroic soldier cannot rely solely on drills. Only after going through the real battlefield of blood and blood can one get such an army.

Xu Yi quickly discovered the subtle changes in these returning soldiers. He didn't ask about today's battle situation, but he had already guessed the result from the faces of these returning soldiers.

In this expedition, they also captured more than 300 native women and children. Basically, it can be said that the tribe has been completely exterminated, and it has drawn a successful conclusion to the first battle of the Fubo infantry.

Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun gave Xu Yi a detailed report of the battle situation. After hearing about the fearless behavior of those native warriors, Xu Yi sighed deeply. He didn't want to fight such a war. But because the two sides could not communicate at all, he had no choice but to use this violent method to solve this kind of trouble. Finally, after listening to their narration, Xu Yi said slowly: "This world will always be dominated by the weak and the strong. There is nothing wrong with applying the principle of survivorship anywhere!"

Yang Zaixing and the others nodded along. Natural selection may be the reason for this. It is natural for the weak to be conquered by the strong. Avoid, if the leader of that tribe can judge the situation and not intentionally be an enemy to them, maybe they can become neighbors or even friends, but in the end they choose violent confrontation, no wonder they are cruel.

"How about our losses this time?" Xu Yi was most concerned about this issue.

"Reporting to my lord, this time with the team of 16 soldiers, 35 were killed and [-] were injured, and most of the wounded were minor injuries, which could be healed soon. Comparing the losses of the two sides, this is basically nothing! "Gao Jun replied immediately.

"This kind of armor has helped us a lot this time. We used a strong attack, and the opponents are also veterans who are good at shooting. If we don't have this kind of bag armor today, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot. There is nothing to be happy about. After all, the enemy is just some natives, not an army. Our losses can be reduced, but the key is that these natives counterattacked at the death and caused us some unnecessary losses. In the future, we must pay attention Let’s look at this matter, sometimes our soldiers are still soft!” Yang Zaixing made a summary on the side.

In any case, the first battle of the Fubo infantry finally got a very satisfactory result. Xu Yi is still very satisfied with the result of this battle. After all, after getting rid of this tribe, they will have less trouble in the future. He also knows that after such a long time, his heart can be said to have become very hard now. For this kind of thing, he will no longer be as kind as a woman before, and in order to achieve his goal, he will be violent more often It seems to be more effective.

Because this problem has been solved, Yang Zaixing and the others don’t need to stay here any longer. After a night’s rest, they left Xingyuan Garden at dawn and turned back to Danshui Village. Let them know the news, so that the people here can continue to live with peace of mind.

When they returned to Dazhai, Gao Xu had already received the news, and he drove out of Dazhai early to meet them. Such a big victory had to be celebrated. During this time, Gao Xu was also a little bit burnt out by these natives. If you say the happiest person, then Gao Xu is the first one.

After toasting Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun with a glass of wine, Xu Yi saw that the leaders of Danshui Village were all there, so he said, "Through this battle, we all must have realized the importance of the infantry. If we promote the infantry they created, I am afraid that this conflict will not be so easy for us to quell, but at present, the strength of our infantry is still too weak compared to the strength of the navy. You are all here, so we might as well take this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot, and use this opportunity to push aside the preparation of our infantry, I want to hear your opinions!"

Yang Zaixing immediately said: "I agree with my lord's idea. The fact that the Xingyuan Garden was attacked by the natives has already been spread here, and it even made some people panic. We wiped out the tribe that attacked us this time. We took the opportunity to implement our township soldier system, and asked each village to form its own township soldiers, and set aside a few days every month to concentrate in the barracks for unified drills. Let the immigrants in these villages join forces to protect themselves, even if there are some harassment incidents, they can also have the power to protect themselves!"

Gao Xu followed with a nod and said: "I think this matter is feasible. It is indeed a good way to form a township soldier to make them joint households to protect themselves. However, I would like to ask my lord. Since we are going to form an infantry army, we must naturally recruit soldiers. Then What kind of military system does the lord want to adopt?"

Hearing Gao Xu's question, everyone turned their attention to Xu Yi. Xu Yi pondered for a while, and then said: "Since ancient times, there are no more than three types of military systems, the first is the conscription system, and the second is the military system. The military system, the third is the recruitment system. These three military systems can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages. I have carefully considered these three military systems. At present, the only one that is more suitable for us is the conscription system, and the recruitment system used by the land courts today is also the same. We have all seen that there are good and bad soldiers in the army, and there is no way to guarantee the quality of soldiers, and the military system is not suitable for us. The total number of immigrants we currently have plus the Jilongzhai side is probably less than 8 people. Excluding those old and weak Women and children, the real usable soldiers are only about 3, and these [-] people are basically the main labor force of each household. There are not many people who can really be used for our army, so the only way to form an infantry is to use The conscription system is relatively more appropriate. All the immigrants who come to our island accept the land from us, I think they have the obligation to do things for our Fubo army. There is no such thing as right but not obligation, so I think we can I don’t know what you think about adopting the conscription system.”

Everyone looked at each other, and their interest was immediately aroused, so Gao Xu first interfaced and said: "According to this, humble officials think that conscription is feasible, but even if we want to form an infantry, we must always have a number, right? Do you know how many soldiers the lord wants to recruit?"

Xu Yi immediately said: "Five thousand! So far, we can form an infantry army of 5000 people. It should be the limit we can bear. If there are more, it may affect our current development. I have roughly counted, The total number of immigrants in Jilongzhai is now close to 5000, and this number has basically reached here, if [-] people are drawn out of them, it will not damage the current development of various places! Do you think this number is acceptable?"

After hearing Xu Yi report this number, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The number of 8 draws of [-] is basically acceptable. If there are more, there may be troubles!
"Then according to what my lord sees, how should we recruit these soldiers?" Gao Xu was still concerned about this issue, he couldn't let Yang Zaixing go on forcibly conscripting, otherwise there might be big troubles!
"I've also considered this. I think that since we want people to join the army, we need to let them get some benefits. What are the requirements for the land we are allocating to the immigrants?" Xu Yi asked Gao Xu, looking at him.

"We don't collect their land tax in the first year, but they have to convert the various farm tools we distributed to them in the first year's harvest into grain and return them to us. In the second year, we will use their land tax The average harvest is [-] draws to collect taxes, and after entering the third year, we will start to collect grain according to [-] draws, this is something that you have set before, my lord!" Gao Xu quickly replied.

"Of course I know this. What I mean is that we might as well be more generous. All military service members and their families can be exempted from taxes for five years, and we will give generous care to the families of those who died in battle. We need to let these immigrants know that since When they get here, they are obliged to protect this place, and they cannot rely entirely on us. The young and strong recruited can be called conscripts, which means that they are obliged to join the army! Also, in order to prevent the army from appearing like the ones that appear in the Song army today. To deal with the phenomenon of redundant soldiers, we also need to implement a retirement system. All soldiers who have served in the army for five years can get a generous resettlement fee and let them be disarmed and returned to the fields, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of our Fubo army , so that after a few years, there will be a group of old soldiers in our army!" Xu Yi smiled and expressed his thoughts.

"Conscripts? This sounds quite new! How could my lord know so many strange new terms?" Gao Jun thought about Xu Yi's term for conscripts and laughed.

"Actually, this is easy to understand. As the name suggests, conscripts are obliged to serve as soldiers! I think this name is well used. Since we provide these immigrants with everything they need to live, they are obliged to join our Fubo Army and surround us. Territory, I think this word is used well!" Li Bo also said aside.

"I think the retirement system mentioned by the lord is good. This way, the old, weak and remnant soldiers in the army can be completely eliminated. This is the situation in the Song Army now. It is said that there are many soldiers, but there are not many usable soldiers. No wonder. They won’t even be able to defeat the remnants of the Liao people, and I think the problem of redundant soldiers is the root cause!” Yang Zaixing didn’t think about conscripts, but was thinking about the retirement system that Xu Yi mentioned.

"Of course, redundant soldiers are the current problem of the Song Army, but I don't think the root of the problem lies in this. I think the root cause of the Song Army's current lack of combat power lies in the word ease!" Xu Yi continued After Yang Zaixing's words, he said.

"An Yi? What do you mean, my lord?" Gao Xu was also aroused, so he hurriedly asked.

"No one in the world knows the wealth of our Great Song Dynasty, and it is this wealth that wears away the blood in the bones of our Song people. The long-term comfortable life has made us Song people forget about gold and iron horses, and forgot about swords and guns. Jianji, forgetting that this world is actually bought by the blood of our ancestors. It is the word "easy" that binds us Song people firmly in our own small world. People are unwilling to go out, let alone People are willing to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and it is this An Yi that makes us Song people forget about those vicious wolves staring at us from the side of our couch! This thing of An Yi can really kill people sometimes, and people who are used to it have already lost their animal nature! Once upon a time, what kind of martial arts are the world of our Han people, and how many small countries were frightened by hearing about it. I used to wonder why after our Song Dynasty, those small countries could ride on the head of our big country and bully them at will? Now I finally figured out this problem, which is the word "Anyi". Now look at the Song Dynasty, it is ruined by the word "Anyi". Everyone from the top to the bottom is pursuing ease, from the emperor to the people , how many people don't think about An Yi all night? So I say that An Yi is the root cause of our Song army's weakness!" Xu Yi obviously drank a little too much today, and unknowingly got involved in current affairs.

Although what Xu Yi said was a bit drunk, everyone had to admit that what he said was very reasonable, An Yi!A word that usually sounds good has become one of the reasons for the weakness of the Song Dynasty. Everyone can't help but feel that they have been taken aback. Are they also starting to pursue ease now?Everyone couldn't help asking themselves.

Xu Yi followed Jiu Xing and continued to say: "Do you think what I said makes sense? So we can't be at ease. If we want to gain a foothold in this world, we can't be at ease. We must stay awake all the time. Whip yourself with the whip of comfort all the time, and have a sense of crisis. This is the reason why I have been running around non-stop. If we want to continue to grow, we can't think about comfort. , An Yi really kills people!"

Everyone nodded and said yes, not because what Xu Yi said was profound, but because he talked about the root cause of the Song Dynasty. Although these people became pirates with Xu Yi, they still think that they are from the Song Dynasty. , and the theory Xu Yi said today that the theory of comfort harming the country has undoubtedly sounded a wake-up call for them all. Not to mention that they have not yet reached the point of seeking comfort, even in the future, they may not easily think about comfort. up!

After talking about this comfort, Xu Yi and the others talked about the issue of conscription. Xu Yi thought he was no match for Gao Xu in terms of writing, so he handed over the conscription to Gao Xu. This time They recruited the standing infantry of the Fubo Army, and according to their previous discussions, the two places of Danshui and Jilongzhai will also implement the policy of rural soldiers, which will be used as their reserve force. Once it is used up, the Fubo Army will continue The ability to massively expand the military.

With regard to conscription, they have reached several consensuses after discussions. They will conduct conscription in the two villages at the same time. Among the immigrants here, they will recruit young and strong immigrants between the ages of 16 and 25 to join the army. The number can be determined according to the quality of the source of troops. In short, the number of conscripts should not exceed 5000. The family land of the conscripts can be exempted from taxes for three years, so as to stimulate those families with more labor and encourage them to send their children to the army. In principle, they do not conscript only one son. He joined the army, which can be regarded as more thoughtful.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Xu wrote the conscription bulletin and showed it to Xu Yi. The entire bulletin was written in hundreds of words, but on the whole it was still easy to understand. Everything I want to say has been expressed. In short, it is very clear on the list. It is to tell these immigrants that since they have arrived here and become islanders here, they are obliged to join the Fubo Army and serve the Fubo Army. Anyone who is willing to join the army The family of the deceased will be exempted from taxation for three years. After the five-year period expires, they will receive a generous resettlement fee. He has a headache, let alone ask him to write, but fortunately he has a lot of pens now, otherwise just writing the list would be enough for him to drink a pot!

After Gao Xu saw that Xu Yi had reviewed the announcement, he immediately went down to find several documents, and asked them to copy several copies of the announcement according to what he had written, and post them in every village in Danshui Village within two days. go.

While they were busy with this matter, a fleet of more than a dozen ships sailed outside Danshui Village...
