The thoughts of the soldiers of the Forbidden Army are the thoughts of countless farmers in China.
Since this place has a bright future, it seems good to take over the family and live here...
This problem of prospects is one, and the other is another point.
The reason why the Forbidden Army's combat effectiveness is high is because the soldiers on Hedong Road use more soldiers. Although the Wang family of Taiyuan is entrenched in Hedong Road and absorbs the wealth of the people, the place is still quite special after all.
Because this place is the front line against the Hu people in Mobei, the people are often fierce and their proficiency in riding and shooting is really no worse than that of the Hu people.
In other words, the soldiers on Hedong Road are naturally the best soldiers. When Yuan Shao made a coup many years ago, the first place he thought of to raise troops was Hedong. When the Three Kingdoms period ended in the Western Jin Dynasty, when King Shile of Later Zhao killed Wang Jun, an important minister of the Jin Dynasty, he also
It is mentioned that Guohedong Road is "the country of Youdu, the brave country, and the hometown of Yan's sudden cavalry", which shows that the martial virtues of the people in this place are fierce.
However, the price is the unstable agricultural income due to the cold climate and the insecurity of the Hu people going south to cause trouble at any time.
Now this island...
When they first arrived, many soldiers were not accustomed to this far south land, and some even secretly cried and missed home at night - this is a normal thing in the army.
However, once you get used to it and eat an endless supply of rich seafood, the soldiers will soon start the real-spicy session...
As time went by, the idea of bringing the family here to settle down naturally came up.
Changsun Wuji was shocked when the soldiers signed a petition.
Damn...
A large group of soldiers came to petition, what the hell is this?
He felt flustered all of a sudden, and also felt a little inexplicable. Changsun Wuji thought about it and came up with the most stable plan:
You guys wait a minute, I'll discuss it with the Holy Marquis!
The soldiers did not dare to act blindly in front of Li Sheng, after all, he was a god... Besides, Li Sheng was still in "retreat" and could not be disturbed, so they found Changsun Wuji's place.
Since Changsun Wuji wants to discuss with the Holy Marquis, it is naturally the best thing to do.
Finally, the attitude of the Holy Marquis...
The soldiers were more worried, and of course they could only be worried.
The intention of this petition is very clean. It is really just a petition. But then again, even if it is really an "armed military remonstrance"... Changsun Wuji said that he would discuss it with Li Sheng, so the military remonstrance can only be canceled immediately.
.
Soldiers in the army have been discussing which general is the most powerful since ancient times.
But only General Li Sheng, this is a lonely peak that no one dares to talk about...
The strongest in the army are respected, and Li Sheng...
Leading 3,000 men to defeat 400,000 elite Turkic troops, this is an outstanding achievement that no one has to accept...
Of course, the Forbidden Army's fear of Li Sheng does not stop there. The key point is that they are also afraid that if they accidentally speak ill of Li Sheng, they may become infertile...
After all, Li Sheng is a real god!
This petition turned into Changsun Wuji going to Li Sheng to discuss it, and after finding Li Sheng's yard...
Changsun Wuji, or in other words, these soldiers are relatively lucky this time, Li Sheng is really here.
Changsun Wuji was quite nervous at first. It seemed that he couldn't agree to this hastily, but if he didn't agree, it might have some impact on his morale... However, the result surprised him.
After Li Sheng listened to Changsun Wuji's relay of the military men's petition, he laughed and waved his hands on the spot.
"What do I mean? Isn't it natural? It must be accurate!"
"Accurate...accurate?"
Changsun Wuji opened his eyes in surprise, "But the garrison soldiers are out there, how can...how can we say that we will take over the family's children? Isn't this nonsense? I'm afraid only the ancients cultivated the borderlands..."
"No, no, not really."
Li Sheng waved his hand directly, "The ancient settlement was later canceled because the court wanted to guard against local tyrants becoming powerful. Although the island is rich in seafood, what about other daily necessities?"
"When you need clothes, can you produce them yourself? If you need weapons and farm tools, is there any iron ore available here? Needless to say, whether you can build your own steel mill here and whether it is reliable... Besides, this place is rich in aquatic products.
, but it’s true that a separate regime can’t do without food... Where can the food come from here? The food must be mobilized by the imperial court.”
Li Sheng waved his hand directly as he spoke,
"There is no need to worry at all. There is no possibility of strong and powerful separatism on this island. Just let it go."
"But……"
Changsun Wuji was still a little worried. Li Sheng said that guarding against powerful separatists was indeed a problem and indeed the main problem.
However, as Li Sheng said, there seems to be a shortage of food here... The island is still a bit small, and planting is unreliable.
But after asking this question, Li Sheng still waved his hand.
"This is no longer a problem. Just ask the court to mobilize."
"this……"
Changsun Wuji hesitated instinctively, "This is all cultivated, and the imperial court has to mobilize it for a long time. Will it seem a bit... well, I am afraid that this matter of managing the South China Sea will be criticized by others."
"No. In the future..."
Li Sheng chuckled, "Anything can be mobilized, and the cost will definitely become cheaper."
"……oh?……"
Changsun Wuji got Li Sheng's opinion and left the courtyard.
However, I was still a little surprised.
Li Sheng's final words, "Everything will be cheaper when mobilized in the future," made him couldn't help but care about it.
Now that the country has just been established, everything has been started. As time goes by, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the cost of mobilization and transportation will naturally be reduced... Because since the whole country is rich, what is needed can be mobilized locally.
but……
Since ancient times, maintaining an army has always been an extremely difficult task——
In fact, to put it bluntly, the ability to maintain the existence of the army is the vitality of an empire. Once the army cannot be maintained, it means that the country has a serious shortage of food and clothing, internal conflicts are extremely acute, and poverty and famine cannot be quelled by a pound.
Then there will inevitably be rebellions one after another.
Therefore, maintaining an army has never been an easy task. It is necessary to transport one kilogram of food from the rear to the front. In good times, only two kilograms of food are consumed. In bad times, seven or eight kilograms, or even ten or twenty kilograms are consumed.
A perfectly normal thing.
But it is impossible for any civil servant who really wants to do something for the country not to calculate this thing.
Li Sheng said that the transshipment fee will become extremely cheap...
Changsun Wuji knew that this would definitely be the case, but he always felt that Li Sheng was talking about something else...
That expression is so concerning.
But now that the matter has been agreed upon, there is no point in thinking about it. The more important issue is to arrange for the families of these soldiers to settle here...
