Chapter 5 Army and Soldiers

()

Huang Laifu led Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu to observe around Wuzhai Fort, and finally climbed the fort wall of Wuzhai Fort with a complicated mood. Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu naturally followed Huang Laifu closely.

The outside of the fort wall of Wuzhai Fort is made of bricks and stones. Because Wuzhai Fort is located in a flat terrain, there are 4 fort gates on the fort wall.

There is also a urn city inside the fort gate, plus the horse faces, stents, shooting ports, and nests on the city wall. The horse roads, corner towers and other facilities on the inner side of the fort wall have jointly built a series of castle defense systems.

At this time, some soldiers on the fort wall were chatting on the fort wall, looking relaxed. When they saw Huang Laifu and the other two coming, they hurriedly calmed down and said in awe: "Young Master Huang!" Although Huang Laifu will only replace thousands of households next year and there is no military position now, no soldier dared to be neglected to Huang Laifu, and was worried that Huang Laifu would scold them for their slackness.

Huang Laifu didn't care about them, nodded, waved his hand to signal them to continue patrol. He took Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu to slowly pace the castle city, carefully inspecting everywhere, and wherever he went, it matched the memories in his mind.

Finally, Huang Laifudden went upstairs and unconsciously looked towards the Huolu pier ahead.

Standing on the corner tower, you can see that it is several miles away. The terrain around Wuzhai Fort is about the southeast and low in the northwest. Wherever you look, the fort is within ten miles of the northwest and south of the northwest and south, and it is either flat or hilly. Only not far from the east are high mountains and ridges. The locals call it Kelan Mountain.

There is a river to the north of the fort, also known as the Qinglian River by the locals, it can be seen that there are some fields on both sides of the river. It was originally the military farms of the military households of Wuzhai Fort, but most of them are now occupied by the Huang family.

After watching for a long time, naturally, the Huoludun in the distance was quiet and there would be no movement because of Huang Laifu's arrival. In fact, since the Longqing peace talks, the large-scale invasion of the Mongolians has basically stopped. Except for some small Mongolian tribes that occasionally invaded the towns after the disaster, the nine borders remained generally calm. However, Huang Laifu knew that in the three major expeditions of Wanli two years later, the beacon fires would be ignited here again, and what would he do?

Huang Laifu was thinking, feeling like an iron horse and ice river in his heart. Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu were peeking at Huang Laifu. Both of them thought: "The young master was not so quiet before. He was so violent at that time. Maybe it was the impact of what happened a few days ago on him."

Seeing that Huang Laifu was looking out of sight, Yang Xiaolu came over and whispered: "Young Master, the wind is strong on the corner tower, let's go down!" Jiang Dazhong hurriedly agreed.

Huang Laifu nodded and took Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu down the corner tower. Just as he was about to go down the fort wall, he heard several soldiers guarding the city nearby gathering together and were discussing something with great interest. Huang Laifu felt a move in his heart and stopped to listen. The discussion came.

"...Do you know the soldiers in Shanxi Town? Good, that comfortable, in addition to the monthly food, there is also one or two taels of salary per month. This is the treatment of the brothers from the previous garrison after they were drawn to the soldiers!"

"I asked how I knew about it? Do you know about the big bull? In the past, our Wuzhai Fortress was good at using a long spear. Last year, he was selected to be a military soldier. A few days ago, he sent a message back!"

"The big bull is so enviable. It has food and salary every month, which is much better than just a little monthly grain every month. Alas, my wife has never had a full meal since she followed me."

"It is true that the big bull is enviable, but he was drawn by the military army of the garrison and his military status for generations. What is most enviable is the recruitment of those soldiers from the camp, who are well-fed and not hereditary, and come and go freely. I heard that after these people raised them, they gave An family five taels of silver, one tael of rice in a single case, one tael of rice in a southern army monthly salary, and one tael of rice in a northern army."

"This is nothing. The most enviable thing is Liaodong Town. I heard that the soldiers there will be five taels of white-haired Anjia silver first, three taels of armor and equipment silver, and fifteen taels of saddle horse fee. There will be a monthly salary silver. Tsk, this day..."

"Those recruiters are from civilian households, and they are also civilian households after becoming soldiers. We are just some poor military households, how can we compare?"

Huang Laifu listened quietly that he would be a replacement for the Wuzhai Fort next year, so he naturally wanted to understand the ideas of his soldiers. After all, they will be the foundation of their own Wuzhai Fort in the future, but it sounds like a terrible thing, and people's hearts are floating. These Wuzhai Forts are really a problem.

Yang Xiaolu looked at Huang Laifu's face. He naturally heard what the soldiers said just now. He hurriedly rushed forward and shouted: "You guys want to die. Say something to shake the morale of the army here. Do you want to be punished by military law?"

The soldiers then realized that Huang Laifu and the other two were standing beside each other. They were all shocked and knelt down and said, "Young Master, please forgive me for your mistake!"

Although Huang Laifu has not replaced his post and has no authority to deal with them in theory, the soldiers all know that Huang Laifu's words actually mean the words of Lord Qianhu. After all, Huang Sihao's doting of Huang Laifu is known to the entire Wuzhaibao.

When people walk to a high place, the treatment of soldiers in the camp is better than that of the garrison troops, so it is normal for these people to talk and envy. Forcibly suppressing is not a good way. If the blacksmith must be strong, they must be strong. If the soldiers want to have nostalgia fortress, they must also manage the Wuzhai Fortress well so that the soldiers can have food and clothing without worries.

Huang Laifu said lightly: "Get up, I won't blame you, but I won't be the case." Although he is only 17 years old in this body, no one in Wuzhai Fort dares not care about his words.

The soldiers got up thankfully.

Huang Laifu led Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu down the fort wall, and the soldiers respectfully sent it.

I heard the rumblings from afar: "Good, I was scared just now. Do you think that this yellow tiger's gloomy and silent appearance is more terrifying than when it was fierce before!"

"Yes, yes, I feel that way..."

When Huang Laifu walked down the fort wall, he was still thinking about what the soldiers just now said.

In fact, the garrison troops and camp soldiers mentioned just now were a unique military system of the Ming Dynasty.

The military garrison office is organized into small flags, general flags, hundreds of households, thousands of households, guard commanders, commanders, etc. The military garrison is organized into battalions, why are the chiefs, captains, post officers, chiefs, garrisons, guerrillas, generals, generals, etc. The two are conflicting and coexist, and they have lived together for nearly a hundred years.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the system of garrisons was implemented across the country, which was the garrison army. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the garrisons were corrupt and the garrisons were useless. The Ming government had to recruit soldiers in large quantities.

The biggest difference between recruiting soldiers and guards is that recruiting soldiers mostly comes from the people. After joining the army, they do not change their identity, do not inherit their family members, and do not serve their lives. The government clearly stipulates that they will return to farmers after completing their duties. In this way, the guards are called soldiers, and recruiting soldiers is called militia. Recruiting soldiers is the main force that was relied on in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, whether it is a military military or a military recruitment, it is not a combat organization. During combat, a military military must be composed of military soldiers or military recruitment, which is called military soldiers. The source of military soldiers is to recruit soldiers, and the other is military soldiers. The main force of military soldiers is to recruit soldiers, and some of them are selected from military soldiers.

The soldiers were not hereditary, and the food and salary were also more generous than the army. Gradually, the soldiers replaced the role of the army. The soldiers were responsible for fighting, the army was responsible for guarding, and the army was responsible for garrison.

However, the soldiers did not completely replace the status of the army. The battalion system was a military organization established for war. It was very mobile and was transferred according to the war. There was no fixed resident. After the matter was completed, the troops were recruited to return to the hometown to farm, and the military army returned to the military. The military system existed until the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

Speaking of which, the impact of the implementation of the battalion recruitment system on the normal operation of the garrison is obvious. A considerable number of the battalion soldiers come from the military remnants, and they are very likely to be substitutes for the military remnants of the military remnants or important forces in local defense. A large number of military remnants will inevitably affect the Qing Gou and substitutes of the military remnants.

This can be understood by Huang Laifu's situation just now. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the ward system was destroyed, and a large number of young and strong fled. The ward was already seriously insufficient. In addition, the ward became the de facto reserve team and continued to transport the excellent ones to the battalion soldiers. The more blood the ward lost, the weaker the weaker it was. It was no surprise that the more blood was lost in this ward, the weaker it was.

What if you change this situation? Without young and strong people, Wuzhaibao should not want to develop.

With this thought, Huang Laifu came to his horse, Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu came up, and Jiang Dazhong said silly: "Young Master, where are you going now?"

Huang Laifu suddenly had a flash of his mind. He kept feeling strange about why he came to this world. Why did he come? What was the strange thing when he came? He was confused when he traveled through time and possessed that day. Today he thought about the place where he had an accident and went for a walk to see what he would find.
