Korea, Tamluo, Zhoucheng, Dongsang Township.
Birds are singing among the mulberry leaves, and the green strips are soft again. Climb to see if your hand is close, and put down the long hook.
The fields are covered with yellow flowers, and the boy on the white horse is swimming. How can I look back at my thoughts? My beloved is in a high building.
Just as described in the poem "Picking Mulberry" by Wang Jian, a poet of the mid-Tang Dynasty, in the spring fields, early birds sing among the mulberry leaves, the leaves of the willow trees by the river are green, long and soft, and a young man riding a white horse rides on the mulberry leaves. Playing on the dirt road full of rapeseed flowers, everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful, just like a rich ink painting...
However, this has nothing to do with Dongsang Township in the winter of Jingyan's ninth year! In the fields, the biting cold wind swirled across the withered earth, making bursts of sobs and sobs that made people's scalp numb; the roadside was full of travelers in a hurry, a He looked preoccupied, but he didn't have the leisurely elegance of a young man riding a white horse, playing leisurely. As for the birds flying among the mulberry leaves, there were none. They were already in groups by now. I have gone to the south for the winter. How can I show it to the world? If it is true, I am afraid it will be caught by the villagers who lack oil and water, cooked and stuffed into their own stomachs!
Therefore, Dongsang Township in winter is not as peaceful as the years in ancient Tang poetry. Instead, there is only depression and desolation, endless depression and desolation! Fortunately, Lord Kanglin, the governor of Tamna, has already informed Tamna Prefectural Government and instructed the latter to prepare warm houses for the new immigrants to live in, sufficient food to feed them, and necessary medicines to treat their illnesses. Otherwise, this small glacier will The bad weather in this period can easily send away a large number of new immigrants who are already weak! As for the original owners of this place, the Korean aborigines, they had long since been driven further away by those Chiyang reserve soldiers with cruel faces and fierce looks, waving their weapons in their hands!
During this period, of course, there were also some guys who believed in their bravery and were not afraid of death. They tried to wrestle with the reserve men, but without exception, they all suffered a shameful failure! The ruthless latter doesn't care what high official your ancestors were, or how noble your status is. As long as you dare to offend your child, he will serve you with a lead bullet or a broadsword! Some of the more serious cases will be sent to mining caves for labor reform, which can last from three to five months to three to five years! So to sum up, as long as you have the conditions, you should never try to reason with Qiu Ba, because if you obey, they will allow you to clean up and go on the road again, but if you want to resist, then ropes, machetes , lead bullets, artillery shells, no matter what, there will always be one that suits you...
Therefore, with the continuous implementation of Chiyang's unfriendly policies towards aborigines, Dongsang Township, established on the former site of Hebeili, not only has a large number of professional farmers like Xihe Township, but also has another profession, aboriginal hunters! After these young people who did not want to spend time in the fields participated in a period of training at the township militia training center, they joined the crusade team as minzhuang. Not only did they perform logistical work for the main force, but sometimes they also Groups formed temporary teams to perform various tasks in aboriginal villages!
Various logistical allowances, plus rewards after performing tasks, have given a bunch of young boys a taste of the sweetness! Therefore, under their example, more and more young new immigrants have joined this lucrative job! These strong guys not only prepared their own weapons to fight with the army, but also registered various armed squads at the township office! For a time, many hunters and mercenary organizations bloomed all over the proud land of Dongsang Township!
And their nominal superior, the newly established Infantry General Manager Fan Jing and Fan Daqian, are very satisfied with their martial spirit. At present, Chiyang's regular infantry troops only have one Division Regular Flag Army and one Division Reserve Troops. There are also three new auxiliary armies, with a number of just over 2,000. Although the chief leader Kang Lin formulated an army expansion plan at the military meeting, it will take some time to prepare before it can be implemented! Now there is a group of Ziganwu who bring their own rations and are loyal to the country. How can the new general manager of the Chiyang Infantry not be overjoyed! This guy not only readily recognized the legal status of the hunter organization and mercenary organization, but also transferred a batch of obsolete weapons from the Chiyang reserve warehouse through his own connections, and seized the weapons to enhance their strength!
At present, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from the Koryo Kingdom outside Chiyang, and there are stragglers from the old forces inside who are ready to move. This is the time when troops are urgently needed! There are three hunter organizations and two mercenary organizations in Dongsang Township, with the total number of people reaching a shocking one hundred and fifty! This is a considerable armed force. If used properly, it can deter most of the young people on Tamluo Island and prevent them from having any inappropriate thoughts in their stubborn minds!
In addition, if these civilian armed forces have the opportunity to receive deeper military training and are equipped with advanced rifles and artillery, they may not be able to become the vanguard of Chiyang's colonial empire! Historically, although the reclamation regiments of the Japanese Japs were not as elite and skilled as their armies, the guiding ideology of firmly controlling a place once they occupied it made these originally honest and dull farmers, workers, and teachers become the leaders of the Japanese beast army. With strong help, as long as they exist, the latter can confidently and boldly launch expansion wars without having to worry about their own logistics!
Fan Jing took a fancy to this, so he generally acquiesced or even encouraged the spontaneous civil militia as long as they were willing to obey! This guy has heard keywords such as the Kwantung Army, Reclamation Regiment, Puppet Manchukuo, and Anti-Japanese Allied Forces from his leader more than once. He also knows the huge role that a qualified civilian armed force plays in the continuity of the war! Therefore, this man with an open mind wants to build the newly emerged hunter organization and mercenary organization in Dongsang Township into his own reclamation group, and use these young and strong new immigrants who are unwilling to remain silent to serve as the vanguard of his own military expansion!
Therefore, after obtaining the support of Yan Si, the third military commander of Chiyang, General Fan Jing and Fan Daqian submitted a written document to the town government on supporting the civilian armed forces of Dongsang Township. The number one military officer in Chiyang, Tamluo After carefully reading and studying this document, the guard envoy Kang Lin also gave a positive reply to the genius idea of Fan Huzi and Yan Si! Therefore, as a large number of weapons were eliminated and seized weapons were distributed, the three hunter organizations and two mercenary organizations in Dongsang Township soon ushered in a wave of personnel expansion. According to the regulations of the infantry general manager's office, each organization It must be doubled in size in order to meet the lowest civilian armed force support standards of the General Administration Office! 33
So, with the funds and weapons allocated from above, the five regiment leaders rushed to other towns to recruit people to expand their strength. As for why they didn't find people in Dongsang Township, isn't this nonsense? A small Dongsang Township , the new immigrant population is only six to seven hundred people. Previously, three hunter organizations were formed, and two mercenary organizations absorbed a quarter. If young adults are recruited into the local group, it will not only affect the local economic development, but even It may shake the foundation of Chiyang's local rule! If all the people are recruited away, food cannot be produced on their own, the Korean people are making trouble, and there is no local Minzhuang to suppress it, then look at the Li Zheng, household heads, and elders of Dongsang Township if they don't come to fight for their lives with machetes!
Next, about a hundred newly recruited young immigrants will receive the most basic military training at the Dongsang Township Militia Training Center. They must not only learn to stand in a military posture, march, and camp in a short period of time, but also learn to shoot. , fighting, riding and other training courses! In short, the Chiyang Infantry Chief's Yamen trained them as non-staff military personnel, and a large number of young and strong personnel poured into Dongsang Township. In addition to bringing a lot of economic income to the local area, it also caused a lot of public security problems! After the boring military training, the energetic young people like to go to the newly established tavern in Dongsang Township to drink and have fun! And drinking too much alcohol can easily lead to fights. After all, young people have nowhere to vent their remaining energy. If they don’t fight, they won’t get into fights, and there are no young ladies with both virtues and talents to accompany them to talk about life. You let them What can we use as entertainment during the long night? As a result, the archers and civilians of Dongsang Township Office were very busy. The endless fights and fights made them exhausted every day! In the end, the Dongsang Township Office couldn't stand it anymore and directly wrote to the infantry general manager's office and the town guard's office. The latter sent a sergeant specializing in military discipline to intervene, and then the gang of hunter recruits and mercenary recruits who drank and made trouble all day long were released. Let's restrain ourselves!
How to solve the endless incidents of drunkenness and trouble? It is definitely not possible to send sergeants to suppress them every day. After all, the civilian armed forces are not formal soldiers, and excessive control may be counterproductive. As for calling their captains and leaders to come over and lecture them, they must be strict. It’s even more difficult to manage your subordinates and prevent these people from acting too wantonly. Let’s not talk about the hunter captain. The mercenary captain is either a subordinate unit directly under the infantry general manager’s office, or a subordinate unit directly under the infantry general manager’s office. You both If you don't pay people a salary or give them any benefits, who have the right to take care of their internal affairs? Isn't this just looking for trouble? After thinking about it, only by holding literacy classes in the evening and telling hunters and mercenaries stories of loyalty to the country or anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, can we really control these lawless little bastards. As the saying goes, "Everything is inferior, "Only if you are good at reading", if you can teach hunters and mercenaries cultural knowledge for free, I believe they will not have too much energy to go to the Dongsang Township tavern to drink and fight at night. After all, the military training during the day is quite tiring. If Coupled with cultural studies in the evening, most people would probably fall asleep in the dormitory!
Some people died, but not completely...
