Ma Yue once encountered a group of weak soldiers who were originally slaves. It was Ma Yue himself who constantly led hunting expeditions to stimulate the bloodiness of the slave soldiers, and that time he was successful.
What about this time?
It turns out that the soldiers of Qiu Haicheng have experienced many battles. After all, Qiu Haicheng has been attacked many times.
What to do? A new problem arises.
If there is too much of this kind of power of faith, it doesn't seem to be good for one's spiritual power training.
"You charlatan, we really don't have enough manpower. People are urging us to give us copperware everywhere, but where are the people? Smelting requires a large number of manpower, and mining requires a large number of manpower, but we only have these few slaves..." Dhaka appeared. Is this guy the captain of the copper-making team?
"How many more people do you need?" Ma Yue asked casually.
"It must be at least a thousand people, right? Mining is not what it used to be. Most of the open-pit copper ore has been mined, and we need deeper digging. We need strong men, strong men who can work." Dhaka was quite conscientious.
"Yes, here are more than a thousand newly captured prisoners and able-bodied men. Can you use them all?" Ma Yue didn't know much about mining after all. He just knew that in his previous life, mining was a very tiring and dangerous job, and the mortality rate was not low.
"Why can't we use it? Don't worry, charlatan. If we have thousands more able-bodied men, there will be no problem doubling the output, whether it's mining or smelting." Dhaka assured, patting his chest.
"Five hundred people have been transported back, which is just right. There are still about a thousand able-bodied captives, which is just right. I will allocate them all to you." Ma Yue said generously.
"Don't worry, charlatan. At least the output of copper axes and copper plowshares will be doubled."
"I knew you could do it, haha! I'll make some side dishes tonight and we can get together."
…
The general direction of the 1,000 captives was temporarily resolved, and the rest could only be studied slowly, especially the 500 captives who had been transported back.
It wasn't just a question of able-bodied men; what about the auxiliary soldiers? The people in this area could form quite a few of them. For the Sea Tribe, the participation of the auxiliary soldiers in the war was also of great significance.
There were originally 500 regular soldiers from Haifan City, and the newly transferred 1,000 regular and deputy soldiers. What about the rest? They still needed 1,500 regular and deputy soldiers. This batch of prisoners was hopeless. Originally, there were quite a few regular and deputy soldiers in Qiuhai City. Now that they were all eliminated, where would the troops be replenished? It was really frustrating.
Flint's fleet left first, and the soldiers will not be transported for the time being, but the extra horses and people still need to be transported.
"Goddammit, there's no problem for now. Although these soldiers are not brave, they are defending the city walls mechanically and won't collapse easily." Lei Qing also knew what Ma Yue was worried about. This is a stone city, and defense also requires a large number of soldiers.
After all, there are still 1,500 mobile cavalry forces, and Lei Qing's command will provide more flexibility.
"This is the only way for now." Ma Yue has been studying in Qiuhai City for half a month. Even after thinking about the complementarity of the power of faith, he still couldn't inspire the bloodiness of these people.
After all, Qiuhai City is far away from Haifan City, so let’s ensure the basic defense strength of Qiuhai City first.
The remaining population will be transported back to Haifan City first. There will always be a place for them to be arranged later.
"Where's Lu Yin?"
"Lu Yin found that island. It's where you and the Fire Rabbit Tribe hunted seals earlier. It's not just a large reef. When the sea level drops, it's like a large island. Our navy needs a large number of sea beast skins. It's a good deal to hunt seals there."
What Lei Qing said was right. It was not just a problem of large numbers of sea beasts. The seals there were very big, weighing more than 200 pounds, which was a lot of meat.
"Can Lu Yin and the others do it?" Ma Yue expressed deep doubt about Lu Yin's ability to hunt seals. That time, Ma Yue had to hunt seals himself.
"Bow and arrow!"
Oh, now I remember. Haifan City captured a large number of long-range bows and arrows with copper arrowheads. They were all given to Lei Qing first. After the war, Lei Qing handed them over to Lu Yin. As for future hunting, it would benefit everyone, so Lei Qing would certainly support it.
This kind of long-range bow and arrow is not difficult to imitate. Of course, if you want it to be powerful, the arrowhead must be made of copper.
Especially when hunting seals whose skin is very slippery, it is too difficult without sharp copper arrows.
These days, there are no laws to protect marine animals. It's all for food. If we can hunt more seals, we will have food and the raw materials for leather sails. What's wrong with that?
That's probably how all those huge sea beast hides in Ghost Town came about. If they can find a habitat for large sea beasts, then we can find one too. That's great!
Ma Yue worked hard these days. He walked around the mining area, picked out 500 able-bodied slaves, and gathered them together. Under the inspiration of miracles, these slaves who worked as laborers in the mines were successfully naturalized by Ma Yue's miracles.
Is that right? It is said that these slaves were bought from Poseidon City in the early days, and they are still somewhat brave by nature. Although they have done hard labor for several years (there was no concept of slaves in this era, slaves were not abused, and food and drink were generally guaranteed), they were teased by Ma Yue in a slightly emotional way.
As expected, they are all good soldiers, and the activity of the power of faith is quite high.
So, Ma Yue unceremoniously threw the five hundred bloodless able-bodied soldiers from Qiu Haicheng to Dhaka. Mining or metallurgy, you can decide how to distribute them. Anyway, the total number remains the same; they're all good laborers.
Qiu Haicheng's available regular soldiers suddenly became 1,500, and the available auxiliary soldiers were as many as 500. With such a large ratio, Lei Qing had more room for maneuver.
