Chapter 61
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
People living in Hutouzhai have long been accustomed to the sound of thieves, and even the bandits captured by the People's Army as coolies.
The bandits and the families of bandits are a very special group in Hutouzhai, and their number accounts for more than half of the total population of Hutouzhai.
Since the People's Army formed the first firearm unit, it has fought in the mountains, wiped out many bandits, and captured a large number of bandits. After capturing the bandits, the People's Army will first kill those who do more evil among the bandits. The few who do evil will not die and are taken to Hutou Village to work as a laborer to make up for the evil they have done in the past.
It is not unlimited that bandits become coolies. On the day they become coolies, they will judge how long they need to be coolies based on the amount of evil they do, at least three years and at most thirty years.
All bandits are adult men, and they usually work hard to dig ore, transport ore, and carry steel.
Most adult women in the bandit's family mainly do laundry and cooking on weekdays, and also do some farm work and other slightly relaxed labor.
Another group of adult women who were forced to be captured by bandits and had no children joined the People's Army and became members of the People's Army's female soldiers. Their weapons were spears and they hardly participated in battles. They mainly carried out tasks to women and assisted medical teams to rescue injured People's Army soldiers.
The families of underage bandits mainly receive education.
After the bandits and their families were taken to Hutou Village, they lived separately. The bandits were managed centrally. The People's Army arranged some soldiers to guard the bandits to prevent the bandits from escaping. The lives of the bandits' families were not very different from those of other families in Hutou Village, and they were only restricted from leaving Hutou Village.
The bandits became coolies and worked very hard every day. The working time was even longer than the mountain people hired before. There was rest time in the middle. You were not allowed to be lazy and slippery outside the rest time. Once you found out, you would be beaten.
As a bandit who robbed the house and ate meat and drank wine in big mouthfuls, how could he accept such treatment? Soon some bandits wanted to resist or escape, or even put them into action.
However, the People's Army is very strict in guarding the bandits. It is impossible for the bandits to escape or act violently. Any bandits who escape or resist and are caught will be punished. In severe cases, they will be executed directly. The bandits who have been punished will be put on heavy shackles. It is impossible to walk fast, let alone escape.
Of course, the People's Army will not always suppress the bandits. The working time of the bandits will not change, and this is the working time they can bear, and it will not be exhausted. On this basis, bandits who perform poorly will be punished, and bandits who perform well will be rewarded.
The rewards to bandits are diverse, giving them the opportunity to visit their wives and children, and even living with their wives and children, becoming the team leader in the coolies to manage other coolies, increasing meat, giving them silver directly, etc.
The reward of bandits is not only reflected in their hard work. If a bandit reports that other bandits want to escape or move violently, as long as there is enough evidence to prove it, they can also get rewards.
With the improvement of the reward and punishment system, the longer the bandits stay in Hutou Village, the fewer and fewer acts of escape or resistance are needed. However, the People's Army has been encircling and suppressing bandits, and new bandits are more likely to escape or riot.
With the efforts of the bandits, the steel production of Hutouzhai has been increasing continuously, and at the same time, the output of weapons and equipment such as tiger-headed guns, tiger-headed cannons, spears has been greatly increased to be used to arm more People's Army soldiers.
There are still two months left before the autumn harvest. Seeing the bandits working, Fang Nan came up with an idea in his mind: he could use coolies to form a suicide squad.
The People's Army is divided into firearms and cold weapons units. The firearms are mainly tiger-headed guns and tiger-headed cannons, and the cold weapons units are mainly spears.
Under normal circumstances, the firearms troops defeat the enemy at a long distance, and the cold weapon troops come forward to pursue the enemy for melee battle.
Compared with the firearms unit, it is very difficult for the cold weapon troops to become elite, and they need to go through more battles. At the same time, the cold weapon troops themselves will suffer a lot of casualties.
The bandits are already living a life of licking blood on the head of a knife. Even if they are soldiers of the People's Army cold weapons units who have been trained for a year, it is difficult for them to be opponents of the bandits in one-on-one situation.
If a bandit is used to form a suicide squad, it can be of great use in siege on the battlefield and in siege wars.
The only thing to worry about is that the bandits will resist the People's Army after obtaining weapons. Fang Nan has several solutions in his mind, which can reduce the possibility of resistance.
After thinking about the death squad, Fang Nan immediately summoned Hu Zhuang and Chen Kang, who was managing the coolie.
Chen Kang, 27 years old, is from Qingshanzhai, not a graduate of three years of education. He was originally a member of the Firearms Force and later became an officer of the Cold Weapons Force. The number of coolies in Hutou Village has exceeded 1,000. For this reason, a battalion of cold weapons troops has been formed to guard the coolies. Chen Kang served as the battalion commander and manages all the coolies in Hutou Village.
"I am going to draw a group of fearless coolies to form a suicide squad and hand over the attack to the suicide squad to reduce the casualties of the People's Army soldiers." Fang Nan said to Hu Zhuang and Chen Kang.
"It's a good idea to use coolies to form a suicide squad." Hu Zhuang thought about it and agreed.
Chen Kangze said: "Grandmaster, what kind of coolie should be drawn?"
"Well, I think about it, first draw the coolies who were originally poor and ordinary people. They may have become bandits because of the oppression of the government and the landlords, and they will not be easily instigated by the enemy. If there are not enough coolies in this status, then draw other coolies to supplement them. The coolies who violate discipline are mainly excluded. First form the first battalion and the third company, and the name is first Dengyingying."
The elite troops formed by Qu Yi during the Three Kingdoms period, in ancient times, were the first to climb the city, and the most important contribution was to ascend the city. It was said that "climb first" and then "climb first" to be the vanguard!
In the name of "first landing", we can see Fang Nan's expectation for "first landing". On the other hand, the name "expected death squad" itself is not very good. With the word "death", it is easy to make people dissuade and unwilling to join.
When the People's Army formed a first-row camp, they could tell the story of the first-row deceased soldiers to meet the conditions to the coolies who met the conditions. They showed that they first-rowed soldiers were extraordinary. For example, Kuo Yi led 800 first-row deceased soldiers and defeated thousands of cavalry of Gongsun Zan, including the elite white horse Yicong.
Then, let’s talk about the treatment of joining the camp first and then entering the camp first. Killing an enemy can reduce the labor time for one year. If the labor time is gone, continue to stay in the camp first. After killing the enemy, you can get rewards for land or silver. If the death of the battle, your family can get compensation.
