Chapter 351: Sufficient Supply and Invincible!

"Sir, you don't know something..."

Qiao Xuan smiled and explained the situation to Lin Chen.

It turned out that the news that "Jiachuan County is providing work-for-relief and distributing money and food every day to feed the people of Jiachuan County" spread like wildfire.

As a result, it took less than half a month.

In the mountains and fields around Jiachuan County, a large number of refugees suddenly appeared and came to seek refuge.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard what Qiao Xuan said.

Then, he suddenly realized.

These people are the common people of Sichuan and Shu who cannot stand the exploitation by the Southern Song Dynasty court!

Fighting every year, you still have to bear heavy labor!

This made the Kingdom of Abundance, which had developed commerce during the Northern Song Dynasty and had a population of tens of millions, reduced to only two million people in just a few hundred years!

Obviously, it is impossible for all the people who left less to die in the war.

Most of the people in Sichuan and Sichuan suffered from the harsh government and fled to the mountains and forests in order to survive.

There are many deep mountains in Sichuan.

Naturally, there were many places that the Southern Song Dynasty court could not manage.

but.

Although the harsh rule of the Southern Song Dynasty court was gone, life in the mountains could be very difficult.

It is no exaggeration to say that living every day is difficult.

No.

After learning about the situation in Jiachuan County.

A large number of refugees hiding in the mountains have come to seek refuge with their families, and the number is still increasing!

Qiao Xuan estimates that the population of Jiachuan County will exceed 100,000 in less than half a year!

What's more important is that most of the people who come to vote are young adults.

This is normal, after all, it is difficult for the elderly, women and children to survive in the deep mountains.

Thinking of Lin Chen here, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Although he had long known that the Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty were miserable, seeing it with his own eyes still made Lin Chen silent.

It can only be said that the Southern Song Dynasty was still so unbecoming of a human being.

Lin Chen rubbed his brows, took out a large amount of food from the system backpack and handed it to Qiao Xuan, and told the latter to collect the people who came to surrender.

For him, it is relatively easy to feed these people.

The reward package that Lin Chen opened before contained a lot of food and supplies.

Especially Cai Wenji, the Queen Mother, is a gift package for rebellion.

No matter what.

Lin Chen can also purchase large amounts of grain through Xue Biao and Futu Chamber of Commerce.

"Kill, kill!"

In a simple military camp, the sound of drills was loud!

Wei Qing stood on a slightly higher earth platform, wearing black armor, holding the hilt of his sword to supervise the newly recruited soldiers.

For him, training is not too difficult.

In just two months, Wei Qing realized that these soldiers could become warriors who dared to fight.

For these Southern Song Dynasty men who joined the Yulin Guards.

Living in Habayashi Wei is also extremely novel.

You must know that the status of warriors in the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely low, and these big-headed soldiers were regarded as animal labor by the court.

Let them go into battle to die when needed, but not even willing to pay military pay when not needed!

However, it was an eye-opener for these young and strong men to walk into the Yulin Guards anxiously.

Life here was so different from what they had experienced in the past.

Although it is very difficult to do two exercises a day now, every meal is full of polished rice tubes and there is also a supply of meat!

For the Southern Song Dynasty men who often didn't even have enough to eat in the deep mountains, this was already heaven-like treatment.

No matter how tired they are, it is enough for them to grit their teeth and persevere.

Wang Yuan is one of them.

His father's generation was a local hunter.

Wang Yuan imitated others, relying on a small family to make a living, and became good at archery.

But don't want to.

A few years ago, taxes in Sichuan and Sichuan had doubled again, and local corrupt officials were exploiting them.

Wang Yuan, who couldn't survive, led his fellow villagers into the mountains.

Wang Yuan relied on his hunting skills to become the leader.

After learning about what happened in Jiachuan County, Wang Yuan hesitated and decided to bring someone to see the situation first.

The rumors are true!

Wang Yuan was stunned and scratched his head, wondering if there was such a good official in the world?

However, he did not become a laborer like other villagers.

He saw that Yu Linwei was recruiting soldiers, and for some unknown reason, he signed up by accident.

"stop!"

When Wang Yuan heard this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the elegant general on the stage with awe.

He only knew that the other party called himself Coach Wei.

But today is different.

Wang Yuan saw a young man with an even more extraordinary demeanor and looked at him.

"grown ups!"

Wei Qing bowed to Lin Chen and saluted.

Lin Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zhong Qing, you did a good job."

Zhongqing is the name of Wei Qing.

Hearing Lin Chen call him this, Wei Qing said he didn't dare, but a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Chen suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"By the way, military pay is going to be paid out today?"

Wei Qing nodded after hearing this.

For ancient soldiers.

It's still too far for you to ask him to understand the moral principles of family and country.

What they are more concerned about is whether their military salary can be paid in full to support their family!

Only in this way can soldiers die for you.

Take Mingjun as an example.

As the saying goes, if the Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, it will be invincible if it is fully paid!

It turns out.

When the Han court was fully paid, its combat effectiveness was extremely terrifying.

On this point, Li Shimin, the governor of Asia, the Xiongnu who was driven away by the Han Dynasty, has the most say.

thus.

According to the regulations of the Habayashi Guards, there is military pay that needs to be distributed to the soldiers in large sums.

so.

This group of soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the big boxes being brought up one after another, not knowing why.

Lin Chen waved his hand.

"Pay!"

As soon as the voice fell, a Yulin guard came forward and opened the box.

Just look at the box, it's full of silver and money!

"You are new to the Yulin Guard, and you will be temporarily trained as infantry. The monthly military salary is three taels and four coins, three feet of cloth, and fifty catties of grain!"

But at the moment, Jiachuan County has no cloth, so it chooses to pay silver and money.

When Wang Yuan was holding the sack in his hand and the slightly heavy silver in his hand, he was at a loss.

He thought that eating and drinking well in the barracks was the greatest happiness in the world.

But he never expected it!

There are still salaries for soldiers on time!

Wang Yuan just remembered that when he joined the army, the clerk who registered the books said how much his monthly military salary was.

"What? Not enough?"

The clerk in charge of paying the salary looked at Wang Yuan who was standing there stupidly and didn't leave, and frowned and asked.

"Ah?"

Wang Yuan just came back to his senses and was about to wave his hand to say no.

The clerk pointed to the side and said disapprovingly: "If I don't get enough, you can report me to your superiors at any time."

"You guys don't deserve to lose your head for these few taels of silver!"

Wang Yuan stood stupidly at the entrance of the military camp, surrounded by soldiers who looked similar to him.

They have two days off every ten days.

Today is a day off.

"Damn, where did Lord Lin come from?" A rough man scratched his head and muttered.

Wang Yuan knew the other person.

It is said that the latter was a sharp soldier in the army, but somehow became a refugee and drifted here.

"Hey, I didn't even get full pay when I was in the Xiaohu Army!"

The rough man said, and couldn't help but laugh, fiddling with silver in his hands.

"Well, recruiting soldiers is nothing more than fighting. For this money, I will definitely change a few Tartars before I die."

After the rough man finished speaking, he strode away with a bag of food.

With today's pay, the subsequent impact of this matter is not over yet!

After these soldiers left the barracks and spread the news.

The number of people willing to join the army in the places where soldiers were recruited increased dramatically!

As for Lin Chen,

after supervising the payment of salaries, he came to the newly built dock in Jiachuan County.

The reason why Jiachuan County has this name is because it is close to a tributary of the Jialing River.

Just look at Lin Chen standing at the dock, with a wave of his hand, the fleet led by Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun mysteriously appeared on the river again!
