Chapter 1064: Snowballing Growth (19)
It really has something to do with a lot of money, without Zhang Zhongjun's efforts to buy unlimited amounts of food and meat from the exchange and hoard them in Boyang Town, unless Zhang Zhongjun's 1,000 cavalry are all Jiupin warriors, otherwise they can't so easily win the hearts of the people in so many villages.
Originally, everyone was fighting for lack of food, but now a big bull rumbled over, and then showed his huge horns and hooves, and also showed a large amount of supplies dragged behind his back, and anyone knew how to choose.
But if there is no food, even if everyone is shocked by Zhang Zhongjun's exploits in breaking the city in one day at the beginning, then the battle will definitely break out again after a while, but at that time, it may be to rob Zhang Zhongjun, after all, the fighting within the village has subsided at that time, and when he fights for food again, he will naturally only choose Zhang Zhongjun's big goal.
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun's coercion and lure down, the village he conquered was proper, and there was a latter trick, that is, to pull out the strong people in the village as logistics troops, so that they could transport grain to the occupied villages in an endless stream, and this trick was even more desperate to eliminate the resistance of those who occupied the village with bad intentions.
The young people were all dragged out to work, and they ate well, and let these young people understand who they were, what else can you do when you say that there are only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village?
Of course, he could only open the door of the crypt to Zhang Zhongjun and let Zhang Zhongjun go in to visit and browse.
Originally, Zhang Zhongjun wanted to build a county town crypt to see if it was dozens of times stronger than the town-level crypt, but now that Boyang Town is under governance, the soldiers have all been sent out to attack the village, and he has nothing to do, so naturally he can't leave the newly added village-level crypt alone.
So he had to go to the newly occupied villages one by one to hang around, but this was not bad, let the people in the newly occupied villages know that he existed as the lord, and his loyalty was condensed, of course, it was more likely that since Zhang Zhongjun went to the village, he casually dropped the materials.
The power in the crypt was absorbed, and a lot of materials were left behind, and Zhang Zhongjun also simply brushed up the warriors who surrendered to Cheng, according to the previous model of dealing with those six villages, those who were able to fight in the army went to the army, those who had culture to govern, and those who had nothing to take care of public security, and these warriors were incorporated at once.
It's not that there are no samurai who don't want to be independent, but think about it, they are just village-level samurai, and they used to have a lord on top of their heads, but now the lord has changed, so there is nothing unpleasant psychologically. What's more, all the people around him gave in, and he didn't give in by stalking his neck, isn't that waiting for someone to cut it?
Therefore, Zhang Zhongjun's action to subdue these village warriors was naturally smooth sailing on the surface, but secretly there was certainly an inevitable undercurrent surging.
However, Zhang Zhongjun didn't care about this, he was so strong that after swallowing the crypt resources of several villages, he was already at the level of a six-rank warrior. At this level, not to mention anything else, he alone can break through the previous Boyang Town, and he doesn't need to gather military qi to attack the city.
After reaching the six-rank samurai, the ability to control the military qi has also soared, before the military qi of 2,000 people came a dozen times at most, and now the military qi of 2,000 people is no problem to come fifty times.
In addition to his own strength, Zhang Zhongjun didn't care about the changes in his own power at all, and now it didn't matter if Beihuang Village and Boyang Town were taken away from him, anyway, he had already taken away the power in the crypts in those places. Even he wanted to see if there would be any power to go home in the crypt after an old place like Beihuang Village was taken away, and after he recaptured it.
But it's unlikely to come to think about it, otherwise you can directly find a town with a good location, and then fight the enemy back and forth, and you don't have to go to other places to conquer other places, and you can concentrate on guarding that side to fill up the power of going home and leave.
So a guy who is awesome and doesn't care about the changes in his own power naturally doesn't care about any problems under his command.
Of course, Zhang Zhongjun doesn't care about himself, his subordinates can care very much, such as regaining his beloved Takegami Muraki, he is doing his best for the cause of his lord, and those ninjas who defected, seeing that the hope that ninjas can live in the sun are on the side of the Kurokawa family, they also do their best for the Kurokawa family.
Therefore, one is very hard and awesome in governance, and the other is very strict and shrewd in intelligence and surveillance, and with the concerted efforts of these two parties, Zhang Zhongjun's territory is very stable in terms of politics and intelligence.
Of course, this is also due to the massive expansion of Zhang Zhongjun's military strength, as well as the increase in unlimited food and materials and money.
Without the blessing of the above two effects, whether it is Muraki Takegami or the intelligence system, it will be much more difficult to do a good job in politics and intelligence, rather than casually working hard like now.
Zhang Zhongjun didn't focus on this information, politics, or anything, and concentrated on going to various villages to collect power. But there was one thing he had to focus on, and no one else dared to call the shots but him.
That's the thing about the expansion of the army.
Zhang Zhongjun's troops did not stop after conquering more than a dozen villages, and continued to attack those villages, anyway, it was a cavalry team of 40,000 people, divided into forty troops in different directions and set off to attack the villages, only a dozen or so were defeated, and two-thirds of the people did not earn meritorious service, where would such an attack be easily stopped?
It's just that this village is fighting more and more, so much so that Zhang Zhongjun can't even be busy collecting the power of the village-level crypt. In addition, more and more elites were drawn out of each village, and more and more samurai were also recruited.
At the beginning, these sturdy warriors didn't have any opinions, and they went to work.
However, after being busy for a while, after knowing what was going on with the source of the 50,000 cavalry, he naturally had a lot of opinions, and directly made a request to Zhang Zhongjun, and also asked Zhang Zhongjun to select a new batch of ashigaru from the hardcover selected from these villages.
Needless to say, the stronger the Kurokawa family's military strength is, the stronger the Kurokawa family, the more benefits they will get!
Of course, the samurai hoped that the more troops he had, the more soldiers he could bring, and the more meritorious he could make and more knowledge.
The soldiers, on the other hand, are looking forward to more recruits, so that they have the opportunity to become officers above the rank of captain.
There is no need for nonsense at all, is it nice to be a logistics handyman who carries materials? Of course, it is cool to be a shigaru! Only when you become an ashigaru can you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and get ahead one day!
For these requests, Zhang Zhongjun, who has deep pockets, naturally waved his hand and agreed.
