Chapter 94: About the army (2/2)
This is no problem at all, because the Cecil family has always only fought against monsters. At most, in the early years, they played outside the barbarians. Their soldiers did not have any private habits at all. They have always maintained their loyalty to the Cecil family. These are the food subsidies and the various benevolent policies for participating families. At this time, Gao Wen only changed the "prohibition of private plunder" into a clear law. Everyone has no feelings, and even welcomes it: After all, Gao Wen promised that even if the serfs joined the army in the future, they would be able to rely on the merits and advances. This is in the past. The privilege of family warriors.
But the following things made them feel a little bit: as a reservation and extension of the original militia system, Gao Wen stipulated that all adult men on the territory were obliged to receive basic military training during the slack season, from the original appealing nature. It has become a national and mandatory.
This does not mean that everyone has to fight on the battlefield, but to ensure that the people have basic military literacy and can be easily converted into professional soldiers.
If this is raised at other times, most of them will cause some dissatisfaction, but at this moment, the incident of the monster attack has just passed less than one day, and the prestige of Gavin Cecil has never been higher, and he has defended himself. The factual incentives caused by the camp, this system was announced.
And everyone thinks very open: anyway, the usual servant's labor is also a force, this time to participate in training is also a force, so think about it, in fact, nothing has changed, as long as you can eat a full stomach.
Besides, if there is a chance to be selected as a formal soldier, then wearing a armor and taking a sword is equivalent to becoming a “semi-individual person”, which is a rare thing for most poor people who are extremely poor for life. The way out, before this road is out, just take out the slack time and train it, it is completely deductible.
The changes in the military system are not completed in one day. The details involved are far from being succinct in a few words. Considering the acceptability of the audience and the complexity of various rules, Gao Wen did not put all his thoughts on stage. It was stated that he only said that all the soldiers integrated into a "combat corps" and basic military training left the high platform. As for the real details... then it was to discuss with the two knights and Hedi.
Moreover, what he announced today is just a basis. To put it bluntly, considering the current situation of the territory, he said that these things are even a little too advanced. There are only over 800 people who are full of calculations. There are only one hundred soldiers, and this hundred people are actually the "armies" of Cecil's leadership. The scale of the soldiers and the future of Gao Wen's concept are almost different.
And don't look at only one hundred. This ratio of military-civilian has actually reached the point where one-eighth of the population is turned into a professional soldier. From the perspective of the ratio, it is almost the words of the martial arts written on the face. Gao Wen impression In this world peace, the ratio of military to civilian in a kingdom is usually between 40 and 1 to 70, and even lower, and even during the war, this ratio will not exceed one tenth unless it happens. The war of life and death is a nomadic nation like the northern barbarians.
On his territory, one in eight people are soldiers!
If these are all off-the-shelf soldiers, it means that almost all of the assets of the camp will be used to support the one-eighth of the off-the-war combat population, and all development will be stagnant, and social stability will also decline. Therefore, all the soldiers in the territory are now out of production. They usually train and guard, and they have time to participate in the construction of the camp and the land reclamation work to ensure the abundance of labor.
This makes them similar to the construction of the Corps, and fortunately Gao Wenqing, the soldiers have no complaints about this.
Part of the reason is that more than half of the soldiers are militiamen, which are themselves in the category of non-production. The rest is veteran loyal soldiers, and the Cecil family has always been strict with the military strategy. The warrior will not become a lazy old man, and this is the case today.
Even so, the ratio of this one-eighth soldier is not a long-term solution. Gao Wen’s next plan is to find ways to introduce more people and fill the biggest short-board of the camp.
Don't make up the population, say everything is a fantasy, plan a professional and professional modern army against the camp of only 800 people and a team of 100 soldiers. Gao Wen admits that even if it was first revealed When one didn't support the coffin and covered his head, he wouldn't make this dream.
It’s just that he has to set these frameworks in advance, even if it’s only a framework, because once the outside population floods in, it’s too late to do a lot of things. At that time, if there is no mature and stable frame, he Every effort made here will be diluted by the new population that is mixed.
After the rally, Gao Wen immediately convened the camp management staff including the two knights, and this time he also called the farmer Norris, who had been in the position of “agricultural supervisor” for ten days, and Blacksmith Hammer, who has been in charge of the steel plant business.
