Chapter 35 Recruits
After a few hours, the scribes under his command compiled and borrowed all the household registration populations they had sorted out and presented them.
Quietly looked at the past, and added a refugee household register, which is the name of this book.
There are a total of 223 refugees, including 16-40-year-old strong men, a total of 80 people. There are 53 households in total.
Of the 80 people, there are actually 80 strong men. It seems that those who can survive the life of displacement are all young and strong people!
Also, those old and weak, unable to find food by themselves, being given alms but unable to rob those young and strong, and starving to death is also a matter of course.
That's fine, it's cheaper. These young men, according to the previous rules, selected 2/3 of the men from them. Form them into your own newly trained army and expand your territory for yourself.
In this way, Zhong Yu slowly waited, and on the second day, there was another noise in the refugee camp. This time, 230 people were able to drive it.
With the experience of arranging refugees in the first two times, the people under him quickly settled down like those refugees. Although there was some small confusion along the way, it quickly settled down without any major difficulties.
On the third day, the population was still the same as more than 220 people. On the fourth day, it was a little more than completed, but not much, more than 240 people. On the fifth day, the population was even smaller, even lower than the previous minimum, with only more than 210 people. On the sixth day, the luck was much better than before. There were more than 270 people. On the seventh day, there was a big outbreak.
Roughly counted the total number of people that the refugee camp opened this time, and found that it was a little less than last time, only 1,700, but it was not bad.
This time, there are more males and young adults among the refugees. In the last batch, there were only 600 young and strong people in Nanjing, but this time there were 700. This is probably the reason why the population of displaced people is relatively small this time!
In the barracks, four hundred people were quietly gathering at this time, standing neatly on the school grounds, being inspected by Zhong Yu.
A person's face is full of excitement and eagerness to try. Originally, when all soldiers face war, they should be uneasy in their hearts, and they will feel a little anxious no matter how bad it is.
However, these people have heard of Zhong Yu's previous record, with 400 people, they captured more than 2,600 people, and there were no casualties.
Such a brilliant victory can be said to be unprecedented. At least they have never heard of an army that can fight without dying. Even if it is a big victory, there will always be some casualties, which is inevitable.
But now, Zhong Yu can go out with a few people and bring those soldiers back unharmed.
They initially established a blind trust in Zhong Yu in their hearts. In their hearts, even if they go out this time, they will die, but they will not die too much.
With the previous foundation, let them have a rough understanding of the combat effectiveness of those barbarians, they are very scum, very scum, and their minds are too stupid.
Therefore, this is an expedition, and at most a few casualties are due to some accidents, and there should not be too many casualties.
Therefore, all the recruits are very confident about this expedition. And I am looking forward to performing very well in this battle, so that the Lord can appreciate him.
Since then, under the leadership of the lord, he has stood out, honored his ancestors, and spread his reputation throughout the territory, so that all the people in the territory can spread their good name and be proud of their own name.
Looking at the very optimistic attitude of the soldiers below, Zhong Yu did not attack them. It is very good to have such ambitions. It is better to maintain a very enthusiastic fighting morale than to bring a group of grief-stricken faces and be unwilling to be killed. It is much better to forcefully drag the soldiers into the battlefield.
Just like last time, that group of 300 recruits, because they were forcibly dragged to the battlefield, their hearts were full of fear, and they were very afraid, afraid that they would be injured and die in the battle.
On the battlefield, those who are afraid of their heads and tails do not dare to move forward, and they cannot force them too much, so as not to cause their resentment and mutiny.
You can only let those knights and slaves rush ahead, and after one victory after another, can those soldiers not feel too afraid of war.
It is full of a very arrogant attitude, although this attitude is very fragile, so fragile that if you encounter some very strong troops, even just some regular troops.
That kind of arrogance can be shredded, stepped on the ground, and severely beaten those soldiers, let him understand that war is for the dead, not for playing.
You are just some rookies. You have only encountered a group of rookies who are more rookie than you and have no preparation, so you have been able to win many times, but this is not the capital you can use to be proud of.
Then, the group of soldiers who were too tender and too weak in their hearts, like a piece of paper, were easily torn to shreds by them and became a joke.
And Zhong Yu also knew their current situation, but he didn't care. Because he knew that in the future, in the not-too-distant future, it would only be him for three or four months. I will have an army of tens of thousands of people. At that time, these strong soldiers will not even be considered a fart in it, and they will not be taken seriously by me at all.
And these soldiers, if they are on the real battlefield at that time, can't train themselves into a real soldier.
Then, it is better to be eliminated like this, and I will not care about the lives of this mere handful of people. Their deaths did not cause any turmoil to their territory, nor did they pose any threat.
Therefore, these cannon fodders are very well maintained in this state.
And I only need to train their military posture and instruments a little to make them look like very elite soldiers who have experienced very rigorous training.
It can be full of delusions on the outside, so that those savages who have never seen the world, so that those savages dare not act rashly.
Just like the ancient emperors, there are always a group of honor guards who are not useful, but the supreme majesty of the emperor shocks everyone's hearts.
However, those honor guards without any combat power just made them look full of daunting momentum. This is the role of power and the changes in the hearts of others.
And this is what I want to achieve, as long as I have this honor guard, those savages are deterred by their own knights.
So as long as these soldiers do not make mistakes, they can use a mere three hundred strong soldiers to suppress the barbarians with the combat strength of thousands of adult males as before.
Those barbarians, if they were on the frontal battlefield, who often hunted and experienced tribal battles, would be able to single out the 3,000 strong soldiers who had never been on the battlefield without any pressure.
However, it's still a bit early to say that.
These soldiers are just rookies who have just been rushed to the military camp by themselves and have not received any training.
I also have to work hard to exercise their military posture and appearance, so that they can become a qualified decoration and become a qualified honor guard.
