Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Cai Bowen didn't know what Lu Shu meant, but he gritted his teeth and said:

"Indeed, what the Han army did has to make our Cai family suspicious."

Lu Shu was not unhappy about Cai Bowen's disbelief in Han Jun's words. Instead, he nodded and agreed very much.

"I agree with what Master Cai said. In fact, if I were in this position, I would naturally be uneasy, thinking about when the Han army would launch an attack."

Regarding what Lu Shu said, Cai Bowen and the elders of the Cai family were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

They had already prepared a cry about the elders of the clan relying on their elders and betraying them. Cai Bowen, as the head of the clan, complained against the Han army on behalf of the clan.

As a result, you admitted it!

For a moment, several people were somewhat panicked, wondering what Lu Shu wanted to express and whether he was really here to solve the problem as he said yesterday.

At this moment, Lu Shu continued: "Master Cai and other clan elders, please don't panic. What I said is human nature, so don't think too much."

"And, as I said, that's why I'm here today."

"During this period, our Han army has expanded its territory and engaged in extensive development. The noise has become a bit loud and has frightened everyone. I would like to apologize in advance."

After saying that, Lu Shu stood up and bowed to Cai Bowen and several Cai family elders, which scared them so much that they quickly returned the salute.

"No matter what, this is a method used to open up wasteland. We have never misunderstood your army."

Seeing this, Lu Shu shook his head secretly and continued to explain:

"Master Cai, clan elders, let me tell you straight, the territories expanded by our Han army are all for justice. For example, Majia Town is a gathering place for bandits and a den of bandits. What they want to do is , also attacked our Han army, and then were destroyed by our Han army."

"I think you all know more about the problem of Wangjiacun. Wang Miqing acted against the will and was eventually defeated by our Han army."

"As for the territory of the Jiang Jiajun, because Jiang Fenghua had important matters, he reached multiple agreements with our Han army and then gave it to us."

"For these three territories, we, the Han army, can say that they belong to us, both in terms of righteousness and great gifts. Therefore, the Cai family should not worry about our Han army attacking you and others."

After saying this, Cai Bowen said in a deep voice: "So what Lu Jijiu means is that as long as our Cai family stays safe, the Han army will not attack my Cai family?"

Lu Shu nodded when he heard this and said: "This is natural. Our Han army will never raise unjust soldiers and attack moral people."

After saying this, an elder of the Cai family laughed, "It's not that we don't believe it, Lu Jijiu, it's just that there are armies everywhere in the east and north of the Cai family. How can we believe what you say?"

Lu Shuqi said: "A large army? Our Han army currently has more than 900 soldiers. We plan to expand the army to 500 to [-] before the spring planting. How has there ever been a large army?"

As soon as these words came out, an elder of the Cai family couldn't sit still.

"Lu Jijiu, don't think that we are all fools. Now the Jiang family... No, it's Sijiang Town and your station. They train more than [-] soldiers every day and send them to the border. , how can you say you don’t have an army?”

Lu Shu shook his head when he heard this and said: "I understand what you are talking about! In fact, before we came here, we were still wondering whether it was related to this matter, but now it seems that it is indeed the case."

Lu Shu smiled, then pressed his hands, "Everyone, please be patient. I'll explain the reason to you."

"In our Han army, there are indeed only more than 900 real soldiers. Even after the expansion is completed, the number of soldiers will not exceed 500."

"I can swear to God on this."

"Furthermore, since the Cai family is engaged in maritime business, they naturally understand how much an army consumes. Three thousand, five hundred people is already our limit."

"As for the troops you see, they are actually just militiamen in our territory and are not part of the military establishment of our Han army."

"It can be said that they are not an army at all, they are just ordinary people under the rule of our Han army."

As soon as Lu Shu said these words, several elders of the Cai family who had been somewhat quiet suddenly began to blow their beards and stare.

It's just that Liu Wu ordered the execution of the Wang family elders some time ago, so some of them slapped the table in embarrassment.

As an old man, he should look a bit like an old man. Although he knows that he won't live long, but what if.

Since ancient times, there have been incidents where an 80-year-old man jumped up and down and his 60-year-old son lay dying in bed.

Therefore, the Cai family members were very angry that Lu Shu was teasing them, but they did not dare to get too angry.

Of course, if they were forced into a hurry, they wouldn't mind splattering with blood and letting the whole world know about Lu Shu and Liu Wu's infamy.

Just listen to an old saying from a clan: "Lu Jijiu, my Cai family respects you. After all, you have pacified Hetu Mountain, which has been in chaos for a long time, annihilated Majia Town, and repelled the officers and soldiers who forcibly requisitioned food. But this is not an insult to you." Our reasons.”

"You say they are ordinary people, but look at their orderly formation and overwhelming momentum. Where are they ordinary people?"

In this regard, Lu Shu explained: "Everyone, these are indeed the people under the rule of our Han army, an ordinary people."

"Everyone knows that Bai Lian and Da Gan have been fighting fiercely over the years, and the people's lives are miserable! Isn't this the case even in Hetu Mountain?"

"So, when our Han army arrived, we decided on a strategy, which was to arm its vast number of people and train them so that they would have the power to resist when facing injustice."

"And that's why we formed the group in the first place and later called it the militia."

"The militia members are all composed of local and villagers. Everyone from 50-year-olds to 13-year-old children, as long as they are not stupid or disabled, are required to participate."

"Furthermore, depending on the specific situation, these militiamen can only participate in training during slack periods, and there is no training at other times."

"Nowadays, our Han army is engaged in large-scale development of its territory. However, our Han army only requires the people to pay [-]% of the grain tax, and there are no other taxes. We will not forcefully recruit strong men, so naturally we are unable to develop the territory."

"So we took advantage of the people's leisure time to distribute food, take care of the food, gather them, undergo simple military training, and then use them all on work."

"In this way, people can earn money from work without having to eat their own food during the slack period. They can also use the repaired roads and water conservancy projects."

"The most important thing is that they will also participate in military training. Not to mention whether they can become elite soldiers, but it is also good to become a militiaman who can protect their village in times of war. So, there is no reason for them not to participate."

"As for our Han army, although we spent a lot of food, our territory has been developed and the roads have been connected, and we have also gained a lot."

"As for these militiamen, they will also return to their families and fields during busy farming times and continue their lives."

"So, these militias are just a variant of corvee. We just changed the term, added a little bit of military training, and made a few small changes."

"So, they are not ordinary people, then what are they?"
