Chapter 50: Increasing Troops

The wooden door of the village sounded, and the wooden blasted open. The bird gun shot three rounds of fire. The sword players on both sides rushed up and attacked the village and killed the blood all over the ground. Beishan, Xinjiang Town, announced the pacification.

Attacking the mountain can be called a tragic war. Whether it is Chen Mu's general flag or Bai Yuanjie's Manliang camp, the casualties have reached 20%. In the end, the attack on the village is only supported by the army. If the attack on the village is frustrated, they will have no chance of capturing the mountain village. Fortunately, because of the battles on the mountain road, the morale of the enemy troops hiding in the mountain village is not much higher.

There were originally hundreds of rebels left on the North Mountain, and those who died were fleeing. When Bai Yuanjie and Chen Mu led the people to attack the top of the mountain. The morale of nearly 200 rebels who stayed in the mountain village had long been extremely low. There were not many people who resisted stubbornly, and more than 80 people were surrendered.

There were some elderly, weak, women and children hidden in the mountain village, who were also rescued by Bai Yuanjie and temporarily sent to the foot of the mountain. After the war, someone would arrange their place to go. Chen Mu selected more than ten strong young and strong people from the rescued people and prisoners, and made up for the general flag in terms of the number of people in this battle to prepare for the next battle.

It is impossible for Chen Mu to feel sad about the death and injury of the flag army. They were all subordinates who had been with him for several months. The combat effectiveness of the flag army also decreased again due to the reduction of personnel. Fortunately, the bird gunners with high combat power were not injured or killed in the five small flags, and the supplementary swords and spearmen were all added. To put it bluntly, what really reduced is the organizational level, not the combat effectiveness.

Those flag troops are not much different from these newly recruited prisoners in combat, but now these people are more likely to escape in battle.

Chen Mu replenished the flag army, but Bai Yuanjie looked down on these riot soldiers. After this battle, his Manliang Camp under his command had seen blood. With his strong physical advantages and fearless morale, he won Bai Yuanjie's heart. Although he suffered dozens of casualties, Bai Yuanjie did not intend to replenish supplies here. He had to wait until he returned to the war before recruiting the gang people on the Beijiang River to supplement the flag army.

"Erlang, let your men recruit some more and recruit the village heroes from the rescued people." Bai Yuanjie climbed the mountain village to the watchtower tower and happened to see Xinjiang Town, which was still in a tug-of-war battle below. He said: "Xinjiang Town is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although Wu Duan's generals are brave, the casualties will not be light. They must guard Xinjiang in the future. It is impossible to have insufficient troops."

"Recruit them as village tyrants, and when the war is over, you should take in a few soldiers." After that, Bai Yuanjie said softly, "The Japanese pirates are unreliable."

Bai Yuanjie still saw the origin of the two short-haired bald men beside him. Chen Mu nodded and then asked, "Qianhu, how many village heroes are suitable for me to recruit?"

"If you can recruit more, you can recruit fifty ones, then fifty ones. After this battle, you will be able to try a hundred households with this merit. At that time, I want you to lead two hundred households' flag troops." Bai Yuanjie turned her head and smiled a little cunningly, then restrained her, and said, "Eat an empty salary."

Eat a job?

Chen Mu looked at the rioters and Wu Duan who fought bravely at the foot of the mountain and fought in the town. After thinking for a long time, he didn't understand Bai Yuanjie's meaning of eating an empty salary. He gritted his teeth and asked, "How should a thousand households earn an empty salary?"

"The Qingyuan practice is that a hundred households should be divided into 500 acres of private land, and a thousand households in Qingcheng should be divided into 50 hectares of land for nothing. In addition, the general flag will serve these military officers for frugality, and spend nearly half of the military field to support those wine bags."

"Bai wants to train troops and make merits. The flag army is not greedy for the land. If the military and armor court does not urge Bai, he will find a way. He will ask for money." Bai Yuanjie took a deep breath and said, "If this happens, it will be enough for the Thousand Households of Qingcheng to use three or four hundred households."

Is there any other operation?

I have seen those who oppress military households and those who treat all military fields as private fields, but he has never seen them kicking out all the officers after they have eaten their empty salary. "This is the long-term plan for thousands of households. How can thousands of households lead troops without hundreds of households?"

Bai Yuanjie turned her head and seemed to be more surprised than Chen Mu, and asked, "You brought the general flag well. It is difficult to bring two general flags? Bai thinks you can bring four."

"If you can make a hundred households full of two posts, you can make a general banner farm the fields of a hundred households, and those two full of one hundred households full of four hundred households, it must be no problem?" Bai Yuanjie thought that the problem was not as complicated as Chen Mu. In fact, in his eyes, Chen Mu was an internal affairs talent. It was too difficult for the officers of the garrison to find someone to cultivate the fields in an orderly manner.

Deputy Qianhu Bai happily looked forward to the prospects and said: "The Manliao Camp expanded by 800. Yu Ding used your farm tools to buy some cattle and donkeys, and plowed the fields of six hundred households. Training and military garrisons are both good. This is the original intention of Emperor Taizu to establish a guard and raise soldiers!"

Chen Mu thought about it, there was no problem with Bai Yuanjie doing this, but... he said, "Thousand Houses! You asked Man Liao, who had 800 people, to cultivate the fields of six hundred houses, and to cultivate the fields of four hundred houses for me, is this wrong?"

This is to use the 800 people as the 600 people as the envoy, and the 200 people as the 400 people as the envoy. Isn’t this to use the Chen Jun as the livestock and let the livestock rest?

"Hahaha, what's wrong with this? That's right!"

"Chen Erlang, you are mining in the garrison, and you are hiding Japanese pirates. Did Bai not ask?"

"You have a hard life. You have to spend your life with a hundred households. After you have made merits, you will be promoted to the general flag all winter. Did Bai run for you?"

After winning the battle, Bai Yuanjie was obviously in a very good mood. Her serious smile was stronger than usual. She turned around and walked down the arrow tower and turned around and said, "He told me what you said to Zhang Yongshou, which is very insightful."

"Didn't Bai ask you to eat grass? You have eaten all the meat, so after the war is over, shouldn't you farm like a wolf when you go back to Qingyuan? That's right!"

Chen Mu couldn't speak anymore. The most uncomfortable feeling in this world when quarrels in a quarrel is probably that others use what they said to block his mouth. Now even he himself thinks what Bai Yuanjie said makes sense.

This is not the case for arable fields. Five thousand acres of land are not far away, so it is not difficult to let them plough, but if you ask them to plough 20,000 acres of land, you will have to run from one end to another. Then, the method of living in the General Banner and the Yamen next to Anyuan Post is not enough. If you want to plough the fields well, you have to separate the remaining people. Do you still have to plough the households?

Chen Mu shook his head and walked down the Arrow Tower. The battle has not been finished yet. Bai Yuanjie's words obviously thought that he would win the Qianhu family in Qingcheng, but it still has to be said whether he could become a leader in the end. It is useless to think about these things now.

As soon as I got down, I saw a dozen soldiers from the Manliao Camp, with the cannons of Deng Zilong from the foot of the mountain, transporting the Fran machine cannons of hundreds of kilograms, and placing them at an angle with a wide view.

He said why Bai Yuanjie had to get off the arrow tower, and he was preparing to use artillery to help Wu Duan Zhuangzheng's momentum.

When he approached, he saw Bai Yuanjie fiddling with the Fran machine cannons set up, and asked him: "Come and learn how to use guns with General Deng's gunmen. This should be able to hit the town!"
