Chapter 113 Township Corps

After Lai Wu's words fell to the ground, it immediately resonated with many villagers around them, so many people shouted, saying that they would not abandon the field here and escape, shouting to help Xing Tianjun do something.

Zhao Baotian looked at the crowd squeezing below. He couldn't help but have a sore nose. Tears of excitement almost didn't flow down, so he rolled a handful of snot and threw it on the stone mill. With the help of a later generation, he held his fists at the villagers below and shouted, "I, Zhao Baotian, thank you, big guy. I also replaced us Xiao Da. General, thank you! We, General Xiao, said that as long as the big guys are in a group, they will not be afraid of anything. They are afraid that people will be distracted, and they all have their own ideas! Since the big guy said so today, then I, Zhao Baotian, will give it a big one!

Our general has long said that when the spring ploughing and farming is idle, all townships and villages will be required to organize township soldiers, and township soldiers. To put it bluntly, it is to take the people as soldiers, and all the people are soldiers! The township army is responsible for protecting our own village. Today, since everyone is willing to help our Xingtian Army defend here, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day. Today, the township army of our Xiaozhao Village will be established!

I, Zhao Baotian, also took care of it once. Although my legs and feet are inconvenient, after all, I have also seen a big battle. It is a soldier trained by General Xiao. I have some experience. I am here to be the leader of the township soldiers for everyone!

Now, if you want, men from 16 to 40 can stand up! From now on, you will be the township soldiers of our Xiaozhao Village!"

After Zhao Baotian said that, the men who met the age requirements in the village stood up. There were more than 40 people in total. Zhao Baotian shouted, "Okay! Even if our township army is established today, we will fight against the officers and soldiers this time. Our general said that we don't need our help. Now let's do one thing first, that is, to protect our village and strictly investigate the idle people in our area. We can't let the spies of the government come to us to inquire about the news!"

So the first rural army under the rule of Xing Tianjun was established in Xiaozhao Village.

At the same time, in other villages, situations such as Xiaozhao Village are also repeated. Some security chiefs are eloquenative and can speak more clearly, but some security chiefs are less eloquetious, and the effect is almost, but the results are generally the same. They basically made it clear to the people that Xing Tianjun is willing to They will not abandon this place and escape. They will definitely be able to beat the officers and soldiers, and according to Xiao Tianjian's requirements, all townships and villages have organized township soldiers and began to perform their duties to protect their own villages.

As for the weapons of the township soldiers, the Xing Tianjun did not have time to equip them for the time being, so the chiefs of all villages and townships were self-reliable. With some farm tools at hand, such as manure forks and other things, they also found some long wooden sticks, sharpened the front end, used as wooden guns, and temporarily armed these people.

The combat effectiveness of these temporary township soldiers is not good for the time being, but they quickly weaved a tight defense network in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army. In just two or three days, some unidentified people were found and arrested by these township soldiers, and were quickly sent to Dongye Town and handed over to the temporary Feng Gouzi, who lives in Dongye Town, disposed of it.

And Feng Gouzi quickly found a few details of the government from these people. They are basically the details sent by the government of Zezhou or Yangcheng to explore the deployment of the Xingtian Army in advance. Unfortunately, they do not belong to any place here, and the goal is very clear. Xian, as soon as the township army was organized, they had nowhere to hide, and soon they were found out by the township army and sent to Feng Gouzi.

Feng Gouzi was also rude. After pulling out these details, after torture, he squeezed out some of their information and cut them without saying a word. As for the other suspicious people, after interrogation, some of them were thieves who flowed to this area to steal things, and some of them were unknown. The exiles who have not yet been resettled in this area have no time to deal with them for the time being, so they are all locked up in a compound in Dongye Town. After the end of the war, they will be dealt with separately.

Through the publicity of the chiefs of the townships and villages, the local people have gradually stabilized and are no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning. However, after all, it is impossible for anyone to be single-minded, and a small number of people choose to leave here to avoid the scourge of war.

For these people who fled from the local area, the security chiefs everywhere are not polite. They can leave. As for their own things, they can be taken away, but the agricultural tools that belong to the Xing Tianjun lent them must be left behind, and the fields originally assigned to them are all recovered and confiscate, and he is immediately hooked on the household registration book. Their names will never allow them to come back here to continue their lives in the future.

Such various measures have greatly stabilized the situation in the jurisdiction of Xing Tianjun, stabilized the southern area of Yangcheng County, and also reduced quite a lot of troubles of Xing Tianjun, and enabled Xing Tianjun to draw back the patrols originally arranged and concentrate the use of troops, and the task of local patrols, It can be handed over to these local township soldiers to be responsible. As long as they do not encounter well-trained strong enemies, with the training of these township soldiers, it will be more and more difficult for ordinary small poles to penetrate into the jurisdiction of Xingtian Army again, and all townships and villages also have a considerable degree of self-preservation ability.

Compared with the Zhuangding and organized villagers raised by the old rich people in the jurisdiction of the Xingtian Army, the quality of the equipment may not be as good as theirs for the time being, but their enthusiasm is far higher than that of them. The purpose of the two sides picking up weapons is fundamentally different.

The township soldiers of the Xingtian Army protect their own interests, while the Zhuangding township braves in other places are working for others, at most to save their lives. In contrast, the township soldiers of the Xingtian Army are more daring to work hard.

Although the high combat effectiveness in the era of cold weapons affects the combat effectiveness in terms of the quality of equipment, to some extent, people's fear of death determines the level of combat effectiveness.

In addition to the farmers, many hunters in the mountain were also very upset after hearing the news that the officers and soldiers were coming here to fight Xing Tianjun this time. Although the division of the fields of the Xing Tianjun had little to do with them, after Xing Tianjun arrived here, he swept away the local bandits and made them go to the mountain. It's much safer when hunting, and you don't have to worry about being disturbed by bandits in your home, and Xing Tianjun does not rip off them, but only collects 20% of their harvest. The rest of their hunting harvests are completely owned by themselves. They will never exploit them by name. In addition, Xing Tianjun also set up transactions in Lianhua Village and Shuangfeng Village. Location, collecting animal skins and game from them, the price is also quite fair, and they are not forced to buy and sell, so that their quality of life has been greatly improved in just a few months.

So the improvement in the quality of life of the hunters is probably the fastest changing group of people in this area. Therefore, as the beneficiaries, the hunters are more reluctant to see the government re-control this area, otherwise their life will be much worse. This time As soon as they heard that the officers and soldiers were coming to fight against Xing Tianjun, many of them quit.

The hunters go to the mountains to hunt every day. Their temperament is much tougher than the people who farm, and the most important among the poles in various places are these hunters. The backbones that make up the poles are basically people from hunters. After all, they can fight with knives and shoot with bows. Basically, they don't need to practice much, and they are quite good soldiers.

After getting the news, even if many people ran out of the mountain and asked Xing Tianjun to help them, Xiao Tianjian was not polite. He immediately asked Liu Bao to pull out a few people from his leaders, so that they organized this group of hunters who came to serve them and set up a separate 300 people. The left and right township soldiers almost caught up with the sentry strength of the soldiers, and the township soldiers set up by this group of hunters are all good archers. Even if the hunting bows are not as good as the official bows, at least they are an archer's strength that cannot be ignored.
