Chapter 1078: The Expanding Kurokawa Family (5)
To put it simply, now Zhang Zhongjun has 2 million cavalry, and there are corresponding garrisons in all cities, towns and villages.
After all, a random anti-Kurokawa alliance was able to produce two million elite soldiers before, and according to the population of this world, two million soldiers should be nothing?
That's right, according to the calculation of a village with a population of hundreds of thousands, if any town-level martial artist is crazy, he can make a million troops, and a county-level one, it is not difficult to recruit tens of millions of troops at once.
But don't forget, it's popular in this world for a person to be in charge of a hundred peasant soldiers, and even a few samurai are mobilized in many cases, and then a vote of peasant soldiers is brought to war. The standing army is the lowest level of samurai, all of them are the ruling class, can such a ruling class get too many people out?
Also, the so-called foreign wars in this world are very particular about attacking other martial artists. This is generally to persecute the other party's vassals, and then collect protection money, and there are also reasons such as forced marriage, alliances, broken alliances, and so on to start wars.
In a war like this, they will not particularly invade the territory of the other party, and they will all withdraw after making a profit, so generally speaking, they will send peasants to intimidate and besiege, and no one will mobilize the standing army to do this, after all, it doesn't cost money to call peasants and soldiers to fight, and only after they save will they be rewarded for their peasants, and if they lose, they don't need anything.
This is much easier than driving the standing army to know how many times, and I don't know how much money and resources are saved.
As for the kind of direct occupation of territory, it usually takes place at the beginning of the house, when it is necessary to expand the territory necessary to maintain one's own life.
In fact, everyone sees that the world is so chaotic, it is because countless small martial artists are at the beginning of the moment, and they are desperately expanding to the outside world, so it seems that there is a fire everywhere in the world. But really speaking, it's just a small warrior fighting for territory, and when it comes to the level of county and leader, they rarely expand their basic territory, and when they encounter a threatening enemy, they usually call their allies to break him up, and then they don't bother.
For example, the Heyuan family's attack on the Zichuan family is this pattern. Because the threat is too high, they don't bother to subdue and collect protection money, but instead directly collapse, destroy the main family, let the following martial artists become independent, and dismember this high-threat enemy at once, and even if this kind of failed martial artist wants to recover, the first thing to face is those former retainers who have already carved up the benefits.
These traitors, against the original master, are definitely more ferocious than the enemy. So in general, there is absolutely no place for a dismembered enemy to turn over. It's much, much better than subduing. Because of the subdued and subdued, I will always remember what if I was awesome, there will definitely be hatred hidden in my heart, and there will be a day of restart, and when the main family declines, it will definitely fall into the ground, extremely dangerous and unsafe, and it is not safe that the main family will forget this martial artist who has been subdued for I don't know how many years, but people will inherit it from generation to generation and worry about the opportunity to turn over.
Therefore, up to now, this method of the Heyuan family has become popular in society, that is, when you see a threatening enemy around you, you can directly destroy him, and then either swallow him directly, or dismember him into a new martial artist, and definitely not accept him as a retainer to raise tigers because the other party is very talented.
This is also the reason why Zhang Zhongjun hugged the thigh of the Heyuan family at the beginning, because the Heyuan family directly regarded Zhang Zhongjun as a new martial artist who profited after dismembering the Zichuan family, and a new martial artist who grew up on the corpse of the enemy like this is naturally the favorite of the great martial artist.
As for the fact that the population is so large and the territory is so large, why don't the various martial artists of Mao vigorously form a standing army? According to the harvest of the land, it is absolutely easy to make the population of soldiers and civilians one to 100. Why do you want to make it like this, and even reach a super ratio of 1:10,000?
It's very simple, didn't you say it before? Samurai mages need food to cultivate, and building buildings with spells and manufacturing devices with spells all require food.
This kind of consumption is very terrifying, and it is the kind of consumption that his meow disappears out of thin air, not the kind of consumption that is eaten or sold elsewhere.
If you eat it, it will be turned into fertilizer and pulled out, and if you sell it to other places, it will be stored in another place, but this kind of consumption of mages will completely disappear from this world, and then it will be replaced by an energy that acts on the mages.
Enough food for 10,000 people for a month is likely to be consumed by some archmages doing a few random experiments.
So in this case, the mages need a lot of food to consume, what should they do? One is to increase the crop harvest, and this is how the spell powder comes out. The second is to reduce the consumption of food by ordinary people.
This has been done to the extreme, except for the samurai, no one can own land, all the peasants are tenant farmers, they are all farming for the samurai master, they get a little ration every year, and the rest of the grain is collected by the samurai.
This is not enough for the consumption of the mages? Then reduce the number of troops, compress and compress, anyway, if those tenant farmers want to resist, they can solve it by sending some samurai at will, but the samurai can't solve it, the mages are dispatched, and it will definitely be done!
Therefore, this will lead to a situation where the samurai rely on peasant soldiers to start wars.
Don't look at the Jianghe Leader is so big, the standing soldiers of the Jianghe Lingcheng are only less than 100,000 in his meow, and the Heyuan family, a powerful and coaxing martial artist in Heyuan County, is only 30,000 standing soldiers.
On the contrary, the Zichuan family, a county-level martial artist, actually has tens of thousands of standing soldiers, but this is believed to be one of the reasons why the Heyuan family wants to unite their allies to defeat him.
It's really a joke, there are only 30,000 standing soldiers at the county level, and you are a county-level martial artist who has actually reached this level?
So when the ninja agents found out that the Kurokawa family had actually formed two million cavalry and the same number of garrisons, the shocking feeling, and when they passed the news back, those samurai and the people behind the scenes were dumbfounded, you can imagine it.
Zhang Zhongjun didn't bother to pay attention to any concerns, what rules, anyway, Lao Tzu now has someone who has money and equipment, and his purpose is to get more crypt energy as soon as possible, so it's not to toss to death!
And Zhang Zhongjun didn't bother to train or anything, as soon as the cavalry was formed, he immediately rushed to the county seat of Heyuan County and Meishan County with 100,000 cavalry, well, one county sent 100,000 cavalry, and the two counties combined did not have 20 counties, so Zhang Zhongjun took the remaining six or seven hundred thousand cavalry and rushed to Meishan County with a bang.
