Start from entering Jiaozhou. In the Land Reclamation Corps, there have been cases of inadequacy in succession. After arriving at Cochin. More than 20% of the soldiers in the Land Reclamation Corps are dissatisfied. And those three hundred poor scholars had no power to bind the chicken. No one is spared. It's just that the symptoms are mild or severe. Severe vomiting and diarrhea. You can't even walk. The whole team was stuck in Longbian. Don't dare to go south.
Zhang Fei, who was still stationed at Longbian, did not dare to neglect. Immediately report the situation here to Xiangyang with Meteor Express. Received an urgent report from Jiaozhi. Liu Xin felt deeply self-blame. This situation should have been early in his expectation. It's just that he is eager for success. Ignore factors such as climate and food.
The reason why the soldiers of the Third Army and the Seventh Army did not appear to be dissatisfied. Mainly because of their strong physique. I often go to various environments for training. Already have strong adaptability. The Land Reclamation Corps has just been formed for a month. The actual training time is not more than twenty days. Coupled with long journeys. Suddenly arrived in a new environment. The body can't bear it naturally. This is true of these soldiers who work in the fields all year round. Not to mention those Confucian scholars who hold books and classics every day.
Liu Xin had to make up for it. Thirty doctors were urgently transferred from the medical school to Jiaozhi. In addition, the original military doctors in the third and seventh legions stationed in Jiaozhou. More than ten medical teams were temporarily formed. After several efforts. The unacceptable situation was finally brought under control.
After this toss. It was already early February when the Land Reclamation Corps and the Confucian scholars settled down. The army stationed in Jiaozhou has also been adjusted. The Seventh Army has all withdrawn to Xiangyang for rest and reorganization. The Third Army, which specializes in mountain and jungle warfare, is stationed in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. The remaining counties such as Cangwu and Nanhai were handed over to the newly formed local army. The soldiers of the Land Reclamation Corps were busy reclaiming wasteland. Confucian scholars also set up schools with the help of the Third Army and the local army of counties and counties.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of local enrollment. This time Liu Xin had lost his blood. All children who go to school are not only free of charge. It also includes board and lodging. And you can receive a living allowance of five bucks every month.
In Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Nichinan and other places. Whether it is Han nationality or other nationalities. Seven or eight years old. Even four or five-year-old children have to help adults do what they can. In this situation. I want them to take the initiative to send their children to school. It's almost impossible. Use extraordinary means in extraordinary situations. Liu Xin had only one blood.
The notice of enrollment was issued by the county government’s organization of bureaucrats, security chiefs beating gongs and drums, and walking through the villages and alleys. Whether the Han nationality or the people of other nationalities. At first I didn't believe that there was such a pie in the sky. Later, someone who was in trouble tried to take the child to sign up. In the end, he really received five silver coins. Although five coins are not much. But for the poor. Almost can meet most of the expenditure for half a year.
The news spread ten. Ten pass one hundred. quickly. There was a long line of people who took their children to report to school. Schools in all counties are overcrowded. As a last resort. The local government had to change the age of admission. It turns out that anyone under the age of twelve can enroll. It was later changed to under ten years old. The final limit is six to eight years old. Of course, those who have already signed up cannot be changed. Those who report late are very upset. Even so. Every school has more than 1,000 students.
The local people don't care how much real talent the children can learn in the school. What they care about is the lack of a mouth to eat at home. An extra pair of hands to make money. but. For this policy of the Han Dynasty. The people are still happy to see it happen. Many people spontaneously come to help schools build school buildings. Anyway, there are some places. There are also many trees in the forest. With the help of the local garrison. But ten days of effort. Neat rows of brand-new school buildings stand in the subordinate counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan.
Promotion of schools in the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Nichinan. Also received an unexpected effect. Those people who have children studying in school. No matter how sturdy and brave in the past. All of a sudden became honest. Because the school has regulations. No matter which student. As long as someone in his family breaks the law. He immediately lost his qualifications to study. Lost the qualification to study. It means losing free board and lodging. It also lost the subsidy of five cents a month. Thus. Who would dare not follow the law and discipline? There were some brave guys in the past. Now I am worried that I will step on the ants when I walk.
It is even more exaggerated. The rebellious Cham in Nichinan County. Under the strong suppression of the Third Army. Had already fled into the mountains. later. I don’t know where I heard about the school held in the county. Actually sent a representative to surrender to the Han army. The only condition is that their children can also enter the school to study.
Actually. Nichinan has the smallest population. The total number of six counties in the county does not exceed 70,000 people. Among them, the Cham clan is close to 40,000. After the Cham fled into the mountains. Schools in Nichinan County also have the most vacancies. After some well-informed ordinary people in Jiaozhi and Jiuzhenzhi counties learned the news. Then began to migrate to Nichinan County. Anyway, everyone knows it clearly. Everywhere is a hard life. When they arrive in Nichinan, the children are more likely to enter the Han Chinese school. The five bucks a month is real. Thus. Not only increased the population of Nichinan County. And it weakened the Cham people's demographic advantage in the local area.
right now. The officials of all counties and counties in Jiaozhou were selected by Xiangyang. Only Nichinan. Because the Cham rebellion has not completely subsided. The prefect is temporarily held by Yan Yan concurrently. I heard that several elders of the Cham clan came here, please come down. Yan Yan patted the table. Said loudly: "Please drop. A condition must be agreed."
The Cham elder bit his head and said, "What are the conditions? My lord, please tell me."
Yan Yan waved his hand. Said: "The Dahan Agricultural Reclamation Corps has 20,000 soldiers to take root in Nichinan. They always want to get married and start a business. You Cham people want to have 10,000 women. Marry these soldiers as wives."
The entire Cham population is only 40,000. Yan Yan the lion opened his mouth. Ask them for ten thousand women. There are also elements that allow them to bargain. Unexpectedly, the few Cham elders actually agreed. As long as Yan Yan allows them to surrender. They are willing to hand over the whole family of unmarried and widowed women. Random selection of soldiers from the Land Reclamation Corps.
original. Since hiding in the mountains. The days of the Cham people are getting sad day by day. The Third Army is an expert in mountain and jungle warfare. A total of 30,000 troops. There are 20,000 people concentrated in the small area of Nichinan. Together with the assistance of the newly formed local army in Nichinan prefectures. The living space of the Cham people is becoming increasingly compressed. Except for the young men who died in battle. Among the Cham people, more than a hundred people die of starvation and disease every day. And there is a gradual increase. If they continue to confront the Han people. There is only one ending. That is the demise of the whole clan. At this time. Survival is more important than anything else. Who would care about this issue? Not to mention the years of war. A large number of Cham men died of unfavorable lives. In the Cham people, there are already more women than men. What reason do the elders have to refuse
Three days later. The Cham people huddled in the deep mountains and old forests finally saw the sky. Living short of food and clothing for months. Make these originally sturdy Cham men and women look haggard. These men, women, and children of the Cham people were gathered on a large wasteland on the outskirts of Xijuan City. Standing around were heavily armed soldiers from the 7th Army of the Great Han. The arrow is wound and the knife is unsheathed. The atmosphere is very depressing.
Yan Yan held a big knife. Steering horse circled these Cham people. Shen Sheng gave the first order: "Everyone has listened to me. Put down your weapons."
Cham men and women, including those elders, looked at each other. In fact, they no longer have any decent weapons. The knives, guns and bows they used in the past. Most of them were seized from the old Han dynasty troops stationed in Nichinan. And they have not yet mastered the skill of forging swords. After more than half a year of wear and tear. There are now few useful steel knives in the hands of the Cham people. Although the crossbow is still there. But the arrows have basically been used up. The rest are hatchets and bamboo spears.
but. These Cham people held their weapons tighter. Many people's faces looked terrified. Worried about the sudden use of poisonous hands by the Han people. In case this happens. They also want to use the weapons in their hands to make a final fight. Can't just sit and wait for death.
Yan Yan had already guessed the psychology of the Cham people. Suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. Said: "If Yan wants your life. Don't talk about your current situation. Even if there are twice as many people. Equipped with more weapons. It's not a dead end."
There are a few elders who understand things. Take the initiative to go to the front. Take the lead in putting down the weapons in your hands. In fact, what they hold in their hands is not a weapon at all. It's a bamboo stick at most. but. Their leading role is still very obvious. Other Cham men and women also came in twos and threes. Throw the weapon in your hand on the ground. With a burst of "ding jingle bells" sound. The front of the team quickly piled high.
suddenly. A black and short Cham man screamed and pounced on Yan Yan. This Cham man originally stood at the back of the team. He squeezed to the front by pretending to hand in weapons. When others threw their weapons to the ground one by one. He rushed towards Yan Yan with a hatchet.
Yan Yan snorted coldly. The figure moves lightly. Avoid the knife of the Cham man. Raise his left hand. Just listen to a "pop" sound. The strike was on the right hand of the Cham man with a knife. The Cham man hurts. Screamed. The hatchet has fallen to the ground.
Several soldiers rushed over. The Cham man fell to the ground.
"Drag it out. Cut it." Yan Yan waved. Said to the Cham men and women who started to fuck. "Who else among you is not convinced."
The Cham man who just rushed out can also be regarded as a warrior in the clan. But under Yan Yan's hands, he couldn't even go through a round. The others were silent for a moment. There was no sound anymore.
Yan Yan waved again. Say loudly: "Come up."
