- Chapter 28 Fair Promise
"Old lady, how many boys are there in your family, and how many of them are joining the army?" Lin Fenghan looked at the old man softly and said slowly: "The Elantes army and the government stipulate that the only child in each family does not need to join the army, and the others only need to join the army. One person, if you think the military is dangerous and your child doesn't like joining the military, then I would ask him to withdraw from the military."
"No!"
The old woman shook her head quickly and said: "I have five children, three boys, and seven grandchildren. During the Battle of Waterdeep City last year, one of my favorite grandchildren died, so I hate these wars very much. Now I just I want to ask, when will the war end?"
"There is a shortage of labor in our village now. Many of the land and fields are cultivated by us weak old people, women, and children. The yield of food in many fields has dropped a lot. If there are no adult men cultivating the farmland in the village, Then the food in the village can only be enough for their own consumption, and the excess cannot be sold for much. If this continues, families will become poorer and poorer, and the entire town will be short of food."
The old woman continued to look into Lin Fenghan's eyes and said: "Planting all kinds of farmland, including rice, requires physical strength and energy. Although there are old women like us in the countryside working to plant farmland for the time being, in the long run, the yield of the fields will decrease and the food will become Less, it doesn't matter if one village or two villages are like this, but when all the fields are like this, then the crisis will definitely come, so I hope Baron that you can disband the army at some point and let the men go home to farm and family Good guys, their families miss them."
"ah!"
Lin Fenghan looked at the expectant eyes of the old woman and fell into deep thought. He slowly thought about a lot of things, recalling the villages he had walked along the way and the destruction caused by the war to the citizens and peasants. After thinking for a long time, Lin Fenghan slowly looked at the old woman. said.
"Currently, the total population in our territory is between 500,000 and 600,000, and the total number of troops has reached more than 50,000, accounting for one-tenth of the total population. This is indeed very unreasonable. In the past, the military relied on Attacking cities to obtain military supplies will serve as the basis for war, but now that the eastern half of the towns have been captured by the Elantes troops, it is indeed unreasonable to rely on more than 200,000 square kilometers of land to feed 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. I will appropriately disarmament Let some of the labor force who are not suitable for joining the army return to rural towns and engage in production."
"But the current political situation is not stable, so stopping the war is simply impossible. Our newly established country is a country that belongs to the people, a country that is fair and just. A country where everyone is equal, and the king of the Kingdom of Dambres and Nobles, including nobles from other countries, will not like this happening, so the struggle between the two sides will not stop, and the war will continue. Therefore, it is impossible for me to disband the army and let many soldiers go home to farm, and these soldiers will not agree to this. matter."
Lin Fenghan stood up from his chair and looked at the old man and the surrounding soldiers. The militiamen, doctors, and nurses said seriously: "The land of each of our current soldiers was taken from the hands of those nobles with blood. Those noble knights whose lands were taken away will not give up. We will still continue the war and continue the war until Defeat the aristocracy. Make them give up their desire to reclaim their land and return to the feudal era, so that our land and property can be guaranteed."
"Although the Elantra government is now facing a terrible external situation, and although our war is still going on, I, Yiliuyun, will never force any unwilling farmer to go forward and fight as a soldier. Every person who comes from other places will never Everyone in a family will receive one acre of private land for a lifetime. If you are satisfied with this farmland and do not want to work hard, I will not force you. There are soldiers in the family who farm part of the land, and other men are not willing to participate in the war. Unless there is a dangerous moment. I will not recruit them, and I will not force the many militiamen currently participating in the Battle of Sutterson to continue serving as soldiers."
"Elantra's army currently has more than 10,000 regular navy troops, 40,000 field troops, and more than 20,000 local militia troops and city defense troops. After this battle, I will continue to reorganize the troops. Any Elante government that is unwilling to continue to join the army will We will give him four acres of fertile land and let him go home to farm. Those who are willing to stay in the army and engage in military affairs will continue to train and continue to fight."
Lin Fenghan glanced at the many wounded soldiers in front of him and said seriously: "Brothers, living in this war-torn era is our misfortune and our honor. For mortals, war is full of sadness. Countless families have been scattered and countless farmlands have been abandoned for this reason. But for heroes, this is an extraordinary era. Only war can discover the potential of human beings, turn the ordinary into immortality, and quickly make progress through their own efforts. Get everything."
¡°In this era of heroes and epics, all opportunities in the human world will be opened to all humans. In this era, everything can happen, even a slave can still succeed.??A general, a rich man, a king. "
"So -" Lin Fenghan glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "Even if we are unfortunately troubled by the war, we still can't give up moving forward. We all must be heroes and warriors, and we must make an earth-shattering contribution in this troubled world. achievements, so that we will not let down our times and lives, let us work hard to move forward together!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
"We want to be warriors and heroes, not ordinary civilians!" A young man in his mid-twenties with an injured arm clenched his fists excitedly and said: "Baron, I will continue to work hard, from a centurion to a centurion. The leader of an army of thousands, the general of an army of ten thousand, became a great hero who was transported to the human world."
"good!"
"Warrior full of dreams, what's your name?" Lin Fenghan looked at the short but ambitious young man in front of him with admiration and asked with a smile.
"Antigonus!"
Wearing a blue-gray gown and a white bandage on his arm, the young man with short brown hair stood up straight and said excitedly.
"Okay! I will remember you."
"Your appearance and figure make you the material to be a general. Fight well! I hope you can perform better in the next few battles. If you have any good tactics in battle, you can report to me directly. As long as you make contributions , I will leave you a position as the leader of the Thousand-Man Group."
"Okay! Your Excellency, Baron, it's a deal. When I return to the military camp, I will focus on asking others for help and learning war tactics." Antigonus rubbed his hands excitedly and nodded.
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan patted Antigonus on the arm and looked at him with a grin on his teeth-baring face.
