Chapter 1047: Snowballing Growth (2)
That's right, it's 500,000, that is, the six villages supported Zhang Zhongjun with about 400,000 young people.
Of the 400,000 six villages, one village has about 70,000 young people, do you feel that you have a lot of manpower?
No, if it weren't for the careful selection of those samurai, only picking young people between the ages of 16 and 40, this number could be directly doubled, you must know that there are six villages, but everyone wants to follow the army to establish some merits, if you are lucky, you will directly become a samurai.
This kind of fantasy was reprimanded and intimidated by the samurai of the six villages before retreating, but the 70,000 young men can be regarded as including all the families in the village, which can be said to be everyone's share, and it is also a number that is difficult to reduce.
The number of the Kurokawa army suddenly increased to 500,000 in their own troops, and they were naturally excited, and a feeling of Lao Tzu awesome emerged in their hearts.
But the samurai began to have a headache, damn it, he used to bring a few thousand people at most, and command a few hundred people at most, but now he meows tens of thousands of people at once, and he can't manage it!
Therefore, the originally orderly team directly began to become a chaotic ant nest, especially after the people of the seven villages began to recognize each other's relatives, the so-called queue order or something completely disappeared, and began to slowly present a small formation and small queue with the family as the unit.
Zhang Zhongjun was not happy that so many people had become an army, and he meowed, it turned out that there were 100,000 troops in the northern deserted village, but it took a lot of effort to form an organization at the upper and lower levels, and it also took a lot of effort to make them know how to form a formation and move forward.
Now it's okay, the number of people has directly quadrupled, and all organizational relationships have been disrupted, how can the hell still march and fight?
So Zhang Zhongjun immediately stiffened his face and took the 500,000 troops to the wilderness under the road and set up camp.
As for the materials needed, there is no need to worry at all, Zhang Zhongjun bought the goods directly from the exchange, yes, hammers, wooden boards, nails, ropes, tables, chairs, bedding, curtains, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, firewood, grain and oil, and so on.
Therefore, these 500,000 villagers, who were originally taken to the field and were a little panicked, were enthusiastic and enthusiastic to build camps in the wild after receiving all kinds of tools distributed from the main account.
Damn, everyone aspires to make a meritorious deed, but who is not afraid of death? especially these guys who were just villagers before.
Before, they were messy, just trying to get close to the old man, expecting someone to help them on the battlefield, but now the army is actually staying in the field to build a camp? Although I don't know how to build a camp for Mao in this place not far from the six villages, there is an order from above, can you not do it?
And there are so many tools and materials, you don't need to harvest or anything by yourself, you just need to take those tools and materials and work hard.
When a simple and majestic camp was easily beaten out by these 500,000 people, the 500,000 people were all excited, but this time not many people were wandering around, because as the work of building the camp began, they had naturally been assigned into small groups, and under the command and leadership of the group leader, they had become a little more organized, and were no longer as chaotic as before.
Zhang Zhongjun was satisfied with this change, but he still didn't want so many soldiers, although he was not short of supplies and food, but he was only going to attack a town, and he was going to take 500,000 soldiers with him, what a waste of manpower and material resources! Because according to this ratio, wouldn't it take 5 million troops to attack the county seat? Wouldn't it take 50 million troops to attack the county seat?
He's not such a waste of money and food! It's better to keep these people in the village and farm than to take them to war!
So when the 500,000 villagers were being taken to work by the group leaders, Zhang Zhongjun also began to evaluate the samurai under his command.
The very simple test is to see what kind of ability you have as a samurai, whether you are inclined to fight, or whether you are inclined to show off your tongue, or you know how to serve the farmland, or you are very good at winning over people.
After understanding the abilities of these samurai, then it is simple, good at fighting, or to put it bluntly, a fool with only one body of muscles, naturally stay in the army, and it is very good to be a samurai who charges into battle, or a samurai who leads troops.
And what about the samurai with other abilities? they are all packed and handed over to Takegami Muraki, who is the same as picking up for nothing, but they are so awesome that they have a mess of pens, and they will naturally be placed in various positions according to their abilities.
Well, even if he is a garbage warrior who has no ability, he can arrange a good post for him, a garbage warrior like this, from time to time to take people to show off his might in the village, it is also good to be a sheriff, he doesn't need to judge the case, he just needs to take someone to maintain law and order.
The samurai who remained in the army were naturally elated, well, generally this kind of guy with only a body of muscles, by nature he liked the army, so leaving them would only be happy and would not have other thoughts. Of course, I also like to stay in the army, just kidding, most of the meritorious deeds in these years are from military merits, and if you want to climb up, only the war is the easiest way, so these guys with brains can stay in the army, and naturally know that they are favored by His Royal Highness Kurokawa Masantoku, so where will they oppose in such a situation?
And what about the other samurai? One by one, they were assigned to positions that suited their appetites, such as those who were good at speaking and tongue, and they were assigned to be in charge of diplomacy. This diplomacy is not only responsible for communication with neighboring forces, but also for purchasing and trading, and so on, so it can be said that the ability to speak is very important. Of course, these samurai with only one mouth are overjoyed, and this kind of position is deeply in line with their hearts!
There is also the kind of samurai who has no ability at all, and is afraid that he doesn't know what to do, and he is full of joy to learn that he can show off his might in the village with his soldiers, and he doesn't need to be responsible for judging cases or anything, but only needs to deter the villagers and arrest criminals.
So, by the time the camp was built, all the samurai from the six villages had already gotten their whereabouts, and all of them were in line with their wishes. Of course, there are also many who want to kill the enemy, but what do they really have, will they have no bottom? So after being arranged to a post that suits their strength, these samurai were not happy at first, and finally obediently agreed to the job placement.
In this way, Zhang Zhongjun easily incorporated these warriors, who were originally just nominally subordinate, into his own system.
You must know that being a retainer and being a retainer are completely different things! Surrendering to a retainer is outside the system, while being a retainer is within the system. But the difference between oneself and outsiders!
