Chapter 315 Preparing for the War
A Gan Jiajun soldier laughed, with the simplicity of a farmer.
"Your Majesty said that all the people in the world should be well fed and there should be no more hungry people in the world."
"As long as I think of all the people in the world eating the food I planted with my own hands, I will have more than enough."
Hearing the words of this Gan Jiajun soldier, the old soldier of the Tang Jiajun patted him on the shoulder.
"The ambition is good, but it is wrong. As a soldier, you should think about killing corrupt officials and becoming a general."
"I don't want to be a general. I joined
the army just to let my family live a good life." "Although everyone's ideas are different, the purpose is the same. I want to be a general so that my family can live a good life."
The soldiers laughed and accelerated the speed of farming.
The people never dreamed that one day someone from the imperial court would come to help them farm.
The people were both terrified and grateful.
Their pockets were empty. If Gan Fanren hadn't distributed the seeds, they wouldn't even have the money to buy them.
Not only did they receive the seeds, but someone also planted the land for them.
Sitting in the fields, they seemed to see the days of a good harvest in the future.
Someone even cried in a low voice: "No matter whether this emperor can succeed in the future, I am willing to follow him and join the army!"
"Everyone in my family has died, and I am the only one left at home. I can see the end of my days at a glance. Rather than living a boring life alone, I might as well join the army and kill two dog officials."
"That's right. Our new emperor has killed a lot of dog officials these days. It's really refreshing to watch. I also want to go to the battlefield and kill dog officials."
An old man didn't have such a good spirit as the young man. He shook his head: "What dog officials should I kill? Those officials are sitting in the tents. They ran away if there was something. All we can kill are some ordinary soldiers."
"Our emperor said that he would not kill surrendered generals. As long as they are willing to lay down their weapons, he is willing to spare their lives."
"As long as they are willing to lay down their weapons and surrender to His Majesty, His Majesty will not take their lives."
"So the ones we really kill are those soldiers who are willing to die for Dayun."
Those farmers did what they said and signed up for the army as soon as possible.
The people have been hungry for too long and are really thin.
The thinnest one looked like he was shaking and seemed to be about to faint at any time.
Seeing the people like this, Gan Fanren hurriedly gave orders.
"The news of the capture of Jianan Pass will be transmitted to the capital in at most half a month."
"The war is about to start, and we have little time to train soldiers and generals."
"These thin people must not be recruited into the army."
These people are too thin and can be blown down by a gust of wind.
Not to mention fighting, if they encounter some situations that require rapid marching, they may not be able to cope with it.
If such soldiers go to the battlefield, they will be courting death.
Tang Jue disagreed.
"Your Majesty, fighting is not only about skills, but also about numbers. As long as the numbers are there, some opponents will surrender without even fighting."
"As you said, we don't have time to train soldiers. If we don't make up for our weakness in numbers, it will be very difficult for us to fight."
The people heard Gan Fanren's talk and shouted.
"Your Majesty, we know that fighting is no joke, and we are joining the army voluntarily."
"We heard about Tongmen Pass, Qingtai Pass, and Pingji, and we are very envious. We want to work hard to let our families live that kind of life. Please let us join the army."
"Your Majesty, those corrupt officials have ruined my family. I don't have any family anymore. I should do something. Please let us join the army."
The people's eyes were filled with fighting spirit and bitter hatred.
Gan Fanren seemed to have no reason to reject them.
But they are so thin that they will only die on the battlefield.
What's the point?
[According to my understanding, that dog emperor must think that we are just a small fight and nothing to be afraid of, so he will definitely send a soldier who is not very powerful. 】
【Then the old soldiers can be asked to take charge in the front, and during this time the doctors can formulate a recipe of medicinal food to help the new soldiers recuperate and conduct emergency training. 】
【A battle back and forth will take at least a month, and a month is enough time for them to recuperate. 】
Let the doctors make recipes to recuperate the soldiers?
Gan Fanren thought about it and felt that this method was really feasible.
Now they have no shortage of food or medicinal materials.
This method can be used to recuperate the soldiers.
Not only the soldiers, but also the people's bodies should be recuperated.
Once there is a shortage of manpower, the people can also make up for it temporarily.
Moreover, although the various passes now seem to have no worries about food and drink, in fact, a lot of things need to be rebuilt.
For example, water conservancy, houses, and fields.
Only with a good body can the town be built better. Gan
Fanren looked at the people with expectant faces and bowed to them.
"Gan thanked you all."
"It is because of you that the people of the world have hope." With
more manpower, there are more things to do. Build camps. Expand the training ground. Expand the canteen. These tasks must not be left to the soldiers. They don't have much time, so they have to train hard. So Gan Fanren issued a conscription notice. There is no threshold, no age limit, anyone who wants to find a job can come. Three meals a day are provided, and there is also money to take.
With previous experience, many people signed up.
They were all prepared for hard work, but they didn't expect that the work was divided very reasonably. Each of them had a work assigned to them.
As long as they worked hard, they could finish it.
No matter the time, as long as they finished the assigned work, they could leave.
If they were quick and could finish the work in an hour, they could go to the side to rest directly, or simply go home and come back when it was time to eat.
The work was easy, and they also provided three meals.
Everyone was willing to do this kind of work.
All the refugees in the city came.
Regardless of adults, children, or the elderly, they all worked here.
Some people even followed the soldiers to train from a distance after finishing their work.
At the beginning, they were careful and secretive, fearing that they would be driven away, but they soon found that not only was no one driving them away, but some military leaders would also give them guidance.
Gradually, everyone was no longer afraid and trained openly.
Some of those who trained well were even recruited by Tang Jue.
For a while, almost all the refugees in Jianan Pass were training together, as if they were all members of the Gan family army.
With good nutrition and everyone training seriously, within a month, a group of soldiers were trained very well.
At this time, Dayun had just received the news that Jianan Pass had fallen.
