Liu Silang finished registering the men of suitable age in Liujiacun, and the team trainer of Liujiacun also put on airs, and then Liu Silang screened these gardeners!
Liu Silang asked all those who were fifteen to twenty years old to use crossbows and muskets, those who were twenty to twenty-five years old to use swords and shields, and the older ones to use spears directly!
Liu Silang also had a purpose in doing this. The imperial court was looking for young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two with a clean family background. If the young regiment members were able to practice bows, crossbows and muskets, they would really become soldiers in the future. If you can be an archer or a musketeer, at least you have a better chance of saving your life!
"Others who are older have no chance to choose soldiers, so they should practice swords, shields and spears well, and they will become the backbone of the regiment from now on!"
After finishing all this work, it was already afternoon, so Liu Silang asked all the members to go home for dinner. However, before the members left, Liu Silang asked all the members between the ages of fifteen and twenty-two to come to his yard in the evening!
There are thirty-nine members of this age group in total. Although these people did not know what Liu Silang wanted to do, they all readily agreed and then dispersed!
Until this moment, Liu Silang had no time to deal with his three slaves!
When asked, Liu Silang was very surprised. It turned out that these three families of slaves had unusual origins!
The Jurchen slave family¡¯s surname is Niu Gulu, the boy¡¯s name is Amotai and the girl¡¯s name is Hezhuo. Their son is fourteen years old and his name is Nagu Yang. Amotai used to be a Baya soldier of Zhenghuang Banner!
After Amo Tai was defeated and surrendered in the Liaodong capital, he was not selected for the Imperial Alliance Army because he was too old, so his whole family was sent to Guanli as slaves. They were also recently selected and sent to Liujiacun!
The two families of Japanese slaves were samurai who were defeated by the Japanese country. One family's surname was Takeda, and the other's surname was Matsui. They were not defeated in the war with the Ming Dynasty, but were defeated soldiers in the war between the daimyo. Come to Ming Dynasty without selling yourself into slavery!
When asked about the origins of the slaves from the three families, Liu Silang couldn't help but frown, and said to himself: "The slaves from these three families are all masters who can fight, and they were all assigned to me. Is it really just to let them farm the land?"
Thinking of this, Liu Silang shook his head slightly. He felt it was a pity for such people to farm the land, let alone those in the regimental training general yamen who would waste manpower like this!
After thinking about this, Liu Silang suddenly became enlightened. He smiled and said to Amo Tai, Takeda and Matsui: "Since you have come to my house, I will not treat you badly. You three will be my personal soldiers, and your family will do what I do." Servants, as for farming, you don¡¯t have to worry about it!¡±
After hearing what Liu Silang said, the three of them knelt down and said in awkward Chinese: "I thank you, Master, for your promotion!"
After saying that, Amo Tai asked: "The master promotes the slaves, and the slaves are naturally grateful. But if the slaves become soldiers, what will happen to the land at home?"
Liu Silang smiled and said: "Don't worry about the land here. You can help me train the village team members first!"
The main reason Liu Silang said this was that he knew very well that the most important task of these regiment envoys was to play a key role in relocating people from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and he had already planned to move people outside the customs, so the fifty acres in Liujia Village It doesn¡¯t matter whether the land is planted or not!
In fact, Liu Silang's thoughts accounted for a large part of the regiment training envoys. They all have been fighting outside the Pass all year round. They know very well that although it is bitter and cold outside the Pass, it is also a place of hope!
In a place like Liujia Village, in good years, one acre of land can only produce more than 200 kilograms of wheat. If you rent a house, you can have 60% left over, which is pretty good. This is thanks to the imperial government's tax exemption every year!
If there is a disaster, it is normal for the fields to be harvestless. Even if the court does not collect taxes, the rent from the fields still has to be paid. At that time, the sky was really not responding, the land was not working, and the villagers owed money. Most of the money Liu Wenmao's family owed was at this time!
In addition, the limited land in Liujia Village makes it even more difficult for the people to make a living. For example, Liu Wenmao's family occupies half of the village's land, which is more than 1,000 acres. Other land-owning villagers only have about ten acres of land each. Got it!
But it's different outside the customs. There are thousands of miles of fertile wilderness there, and the cultivated fields are fertile and oily. With new crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes, it is common to harvest thousands of kilograms of grain from one acre of land. If we don't go there, will such a place still exist? Liujiacun eats dirt?
As the initiator of the relocation of people from Shanxi to Shaanxi, Zhu Youxiao naturally understood the thoughts of these regiment training envoys, so when assigning slaves to them, he specially arranged these Jurchens or Japanese slaves who could fight. This was also to enable those regiment training envoys to Have the ability to protect yourself!
At night, the village was full of peopleThe twenty-two-year-old regiment members all arrived at Liu Silang's house. These people stood timidly in the yard of Liu Silang's house, wondering what Liu Silang wanted to do with them!
"You don't have to be afraid!" Liu Silang looked at these people and said: "The reason why I brought you here is to teach you how to read. This is what the teachers from the village public school do, but there is no public school in our village, so I Let me teach you first!"
At this time, a simple-looking young man, looking at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, asked: "Fourth uncle, we are all members of the regiment. We can just learn the skills of fighting from you. Why do we need to learn to read?"
Liu Silang said with a face: "Now that I am the regiment training officer, and you are the regiment member, you have to call me Sir. If you dare to scream again, see if I don't break your legs!"
The young man shrank his neck in fright and said, "I know!"
Liu Silang glared at him, then looked at the others and said: "The emperor said that soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. If you young people are really selected to go first in the future, you will be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you are in the army If you work hard, you will definitely be promising, but it is easy to be successful, but it is difficult to be successful!"
Someone else asked: "How can those four adults have great future?"
Liu Silang smiled and said: "If you want to have a great future, you must first have good skills, and the second is to be able to read and write!"
"My lord, being a soldier requires strength. Being able to read and digit is a matter for scholars. Even if we are literate, can we still kill the enemy with a pen?"
"What I'm saying is that we are villagers. It's a good thing if you can make money by being a soldier. If you are like this, you will be very successful. Does it matter if you can't read or not?"
¡°I think it¡¯s useless to be able to read. If you have that kind of kung fu, you might as well teach us how to wield swords and guns!¡±
They are just a bunch of young people without any training, and they start making noise after just a few words, without any appearance at all!
Liu Silang was not in a hurry. After they finished speaking, he sneered and said, "Do you think we should fight at the same time with swords and guns?"
Those boys also knew how to watch the wind. Seeing Liu Silang's cold smile, they naturally didn't dare to say anything more. They all looked at Liu Silang evasively, for fear of being spotted by Liu Silang!
Liu Silang paced back and forth and said, "Do you think I am powerful just because I earn this amount of money? Let me tell you, there are many people who earn more than me. I am just a corps commander. I also have the general banner, the hundred households, the thousand households, and the generals." , deputy general, and commander-in-chief, I have earned more than three hundred taels of silver, how much do those high-ranking officials earn?"
Those guys started to calculate how much money those high officials could earn, but with their stupid brains, they couldn't figure out how much money those high officials could earn according to Liu Silang's words!
"Remember!" Liu Silang suddenly shouted: "If you want to be a soldier, you must practice your skills and read well. If you are not good at reading and can't read, you will not even be selected for the selection, and you will be stuck in the mud for the rest of your life. , don¡¯t even think about pulling out your legs, do you think you recognize this word or not?¡±
"Recognize it!" A group of young people responded hoarsely! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
