Chapter 322 Troubled Times 42
During the autumn harvest, Chu Nanze was the busiest. He searched for borders almost day and night, because every autumn harvest was the time when foreigners harvested grass.

In the past, Chu Nanze's soldiers didn't have enough food or clothing to keep them warm. Even if they faced foreign races, most of them defended the city, preventing people from entering the border gates to disturb the people.

It wasn't that Chu Nanze didn't want to fight, it was because the soldiers couldn't eat enough all the year round.

If you don't have enough to eat, you can't train, and your physique is weak. Fighting forcibly will kill you. Chu Nanze really can't bear to use the lives of soldiers to win a few battles.

Although this saved the lives of the soldiers to the greatest extent, it was really aggrieved. Not only Chu Nanze was aggrieved, but his soldiers also felt aggrieved.

But this year is different. After half a year of eating meat and training intensively, now everyone is covered with tendons, and they all have eight-pack abs when they take off their clothes. They feel that their strength has increased by many times.

In previous years, everyone was worried until autumn, worrying that they would not be able to keep the people suffering, but this year they were thinking about capturing more prisoners.

Because Wushuang designed a lot of things to be built, such as building roads, building walls, and building houses for the common people, all of which require a lot of manpower, and this is all heavy physical work.

The common people can't afford to work, and Wushuang is also reluctant to make the common people work too hard with corvée, so they pin their hopes on the aliens who will be deducted this year.

If more prisoners could be captured, someone would have done the hard work. In order to motivate the soldiers, Wushuang also specially issued a notice that capturing a living prisoner would be credited to two heads.

Of course, Chu Nanze also gave enough warnings to his subordinates to ensure that he could protect himself before capturing prisoners.

If you are in danger, you still focus on killing the enemy, don't put yourself in it just to catch the prisoners, then the cart before the horse.

However, for those who were clever, several people discussed together and cooperated with each other on the battlefield. One group guarded the back, another group arrested people, and the captured prisoners were shared equally.

When Qiu received the most enthusiasm, the foreign race who was buckling the grass valley finally came.

There is a characteristic of the alien races going out. The troops in front are fighting, and the alien races behind are driving cattle and sheep to follow the large troops. These cattle and sheep are the accompanying military rations.

It is also because of this that the soldiers guarding the border can't beat the foreign race every year. Before they want to fight Caogu, the foreign race will eat meat for a while.

Keep your body strong, and eat meat when you fight. You are so brave and powerful in battle, and you have no advantage against soldiers who don't have enough food and clothing.

But this year these alien races obviously thought too much. They felt that they were physically strong, but this year they found something wrong when they played against their old opponents.

First of all, the soldiers who were always just guarding the city rushed out like hungry wolves when they saw them, just like they saw the southerners in previous years.

And all of them are full of tendons and look fierce, completely different from the empty ones who even wore armor before, with thin arms and thin legs.

And the strength is also great, rushing over to fight hand-to-hand, the opponent slashed at him with a knife, and the tiger's mouth was broken when he caught it, and he couldn't hold the weapon after another knife.

The attacking foreign race was shocked, this power is too great!Aren't the southerners all skinny and weak?Why is it so powerful, even better at fighting than those who grew up on horseback.

Because Chu Nanze's offensive was fierce, especially many people who used to think that the alien race was so powerful that they couldn't even catch them with a single blow, and their morale was even higher when they found that the opponent couldn't catch their own swords this year.

The rise of everyone's killing, one by one screaming and chasing after the alien race, the more the fight became more enjoyable, many soldiers' family members and comrades died in the hands of these alien races.

Now that he was able to chase after the opponent and fight, all the hatred in his heart was aroused for a while, and he was screaming, thinking of his dead relatives and comrades-in-arms, and all killed him.

The soldiers who were red-eyed by hatred had long forgotten about the capture of prisoners. Nothing is more important than revenge for their families and comrades-in-arms.

The blood flowed like a river from everyone's killing, but no one was captured. If it wasn't for the fact that the aliens were so frightened after being killed, they dropped their weapons and surrendered one by one, everyone would have forgotten about the capture.

In the end, when Chu Nanze returned victorious, in addition to a long list of foreign captives, there were also tens of thousands of cattle and sheep that had been driven away as military rations, and a bunch of war horses.

The war horses were sent to the horse farm to wait for distribution, and the sheep were taken to the breeding farm. Those who could be raised were raised, and those who could not be raised were killed for the soldiers of the three armies to eat.

Cows can't eat meat, so soldiers are given priority as rewards. Interested soldiers can take away a cow at a price almost free according to their merits.

Basically, soldiers with family members took the initiative to exchange military merits for cattle, and took them back to reduce the burden on their families. With a cow in hand, they could open up a few more acres of wasteland.

With this real benefit, many ordinary people who had never thought of going to the army were moved.

The general and the general's wife were so kind to the soldiers under their opponents, they ate meat every meal, and gave the family so many preferential treatment.

The most important thing is that the family will get a large amount of compensation for the soldiers who died, which makes those men who are worried about their accidents in the army and no one to take care of their families even more moved.

So following the busiest immigration office, which is responsible for managing the settlement of foreigners, the conscription office is also bustling with countless men wanting to join the army.

But Chu Nanze is not accepted by everyone, only those who are tall and strong will be accepted, and those who are not in good health should stay at home and farm.

Chu Nanze was strict in running the army. Soldiers were not allowed to harass the people. He also often organized soldiers to help the people repair houses and grab autumn harvests. When encountering some dangers, the soldiers would come out to help the people as soon as possible.

Gradually, people who looked at soldiers from the outside as if they were bandits began to like the soldiers at the frontier, and felt that they were reliable and proud of being soldiers.

In autumn, foreigners frequently raided the grass valley. After Chu Nanze caught a wave of foreigners raiding the grass valley, it didn't take long for the next wave to come.

The well-fed and healthy soldiers go to the battlefield to capture prisoners every day. Although casualties are inevitable, but after all, the casualties are not as many as when they defended the city before.

And the more the battle is fought, the more skilled the soldiers who joined later will be, and the fewer casualties will be.

Later, everyone became familiar with fighting, and half of the fighting began, and the other half was responsible for capturing prisoners, and more and more prisoners were captured.

As soon as these captives returned to the border, they were arranged by Wushuang to repair the city walls, roads and houses.

These demons who call the Central Plains people southerners, two-legged sheep, wantonly slaughtered and even used as army food, will naturally not be treated well in Wushou.

They do heavy physical work, eat coarse grains, and don’t have enough to eat. This is to prevent these captives from rebelling and escaping when they have strength.

With a group of free captives working as coolies, the repair of the city wall was very fast, and the speed of paving the road was also fast. The houses of the people were neatly arranged, and after they were built, they were clean and tidy.

The military families will give priority to the distribution of these built houses, and the common people can also buy them at a slightly higher price. Of course, the price is cheap and not too expensive.

Because labor is free, Wushuang basically only charges costs and materials. She built the house to subsidize the people.
