After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive
Chapter 207 Great Victory
According to those who were the first to join Yu Zizhen's private army, they could eat two meals of dry rice and one meal of porridge every day.
The dry meals were provided in the morning when the sun rose and in the afternoon when the sun was in the west. In order to save food at night, the captain only let them eat multi-grain porridge and wild vegetable dumplings.
But even if it's just multigrain porridge and wild vegetable dumplings, it's hard for their families, relatives, and neighbors to eat them.
When everyone heard this, they were immediately envious, but that was not the end of it.
Next, those people showed off to the onlookers their new straw sandals, new weapons, as well as the fine rattan armor that they hid under their rags and wore home.
Thanks to them, Yu Zizhen's subordinates soon received a large number of people who wanted to join them.
But what disappointed those fishermen was that not all of Yu Zizhen's subordinates accepted them.
If you want to enjoy their good treatment, you must also meet their recruitment conditions.
However, Yu Zizhen's subordinates did not disappoint other fishermen who did not meet the requirements. Not only did they distribute one day's rations to every fishermen who met Daqi's recruitment requirements but did not meet their recruitment standards, they also said In the future, people will be sent to teach them martial arts and weapon making, so that they can be more capable of protecting themselves when facing pirates and Japanese pirates.
The most important thing is that the other party also vaguely revealed that after their numbers grow to a certain size, they will unite with other forces fighting against pirates and Japanese pirates to completely drive out this group of bastards.
The fishermen who had been eliminated suddenly turned from worry to joy when they heard this. They took the miscellaneous grain cakes they received and returned to their villages happily.
As for those who were selected, the first lesson Yu Zizhen's subordinates taught them was to prepare them mentally to face death at any time.
In their words, of course they will try to reduce the loss of personnel as much as possible, but there are no absolutes in the world. As long as they fight with real swords and guns, injuries and deaths will never be avoided.
Because of this, when they were selecting people, they would not accept fishermen who were only sons in the family to join.
Before those young adults who had just been selected had time to be happy, a basin of cold water was poured down their pockets, and their excitement and excitement subsided in an instant.
But even so, when Yu Zizhen's subordinates asked them if any of them wanted to regret it, they firmly shook their heads and said that they "will never regret it."
They think clearly.
In today's world, even if they stay at home, death will still find them when it's time to find them.
Those pirates and Japanese pirates will not let them go just because they stay at home, and those corrupt officials and bullies will never be friendly to them just because they are honest and peaceful.
Anyway, their situation is already bad enough, so why don’t they take the opportunity to fight for themselves and their families?
Don’t talk about the far ones, only talk about the near ones. At least after joining this team, not only can they have enough to eat and learn skills, but they can also take some food home every month.
No matter how this is calculated, they will make a huge profit.
The fishermen who wanted to understand the pros and cons did not regret it, and every day in the future, they were grateful for their original choice. Because under the leadership of Yu Zizhen's subordinates, they not only drove away the pirates and Japanese pirates, but also pursued the victory and took back more than a dozen large-scale islands that were originally held by the pirates and bandits.
These islands have been lawless places for many years. Due to the inaction of the Daqi navy, pirates and Japanese pirates have been living on the islands very close to Daqi.
After Yu Zizhen's subordinates drove away the pirates and Japanese pirates, they found a large number of slaves and property on the island.
Those slaves were kidnapped by pirates and Japanese pirates from coastal fishing villages. They brought these people back to the island and selected young and beautiful girls and wives for their entertainment. The rest were forced with swords and guns to make them or Whether it is farming, fishing, or cooking, washing, spinning and weaving.
Considering Yu Zizhen's consistent behavior, Yu Zizhen's subordinates immediately restored the freedom of the slaves on the island.
For those who are willing to go home, they will arrange boats to take them back; for those who are unwilling to go home, they will also choose another habitat for these poor people.
Especially those poor women who had been tortured, Yu Zizhen's subordinates even gave them a chance to be re-elected.
That is to say, if they return home and their life is not satisfactory, they can choose to start over elsewhere.
Of course, women who are willing to go home only account for a very small part of all women. Even those women who have not been defiled by pirates or Japanese pirates and have only been responsible for washing, cooking, spinning and weaving, most of them are because of secular The power retreated.
They know very well that even if they are innocent, their neighbors and even their relatives will not believe them.
People's words are scary. They don't want to be criticized all day long, and they don't want to hurt their family members and be criticized. They don't want to hear their family members say, "Why did you come back?" "Why didn't you just die outside?"
Those who choose to go back are not ignorant of the fear of others, they just have concerns that they can't let go, and they still have the last bit of hope and confidence in their loved ones.
Needless to say, those who chose to start over elsewhere, Yu Zizhen's subordinates not only arranged for doctors to treat their injuries, diseases, and recuperate their bodies, but also gave them part of the property accumulated by the pirates and Japanese pirates. Let them have money with them.
After they had recovered their health, Yu Zizhen's subordinates did not just throw them anywhere.
After soliciting their opinions, Yu Zizhen's subordinates arranged them to the embroidery workshop, weaving workshop, and farm under Yu Zizhen's name.
There, they will not be bullied and can rely on their own labor to keep themselves warm and fed. If they are willing in the future, they can even ask a matchmaker to help find a suitable candidate for marriage.
Compared with them, most of those who choose to go home do not have a happy ending.
Except for a very small number of people who are indeed accepted by their families, and whose families are willing to move away from their hometown for them so that they will not be criticized by others, the vast majority of others are just as they feared. My family members asked me, "Why did you come back?" and "Why didn't you just die outside?"
Some of the more ruthless ones even wanted to force them to death. If Yu Zizhen's private soldiers who were responsible for sending them back had not stopped them, some of the women would have been forced to hang themselves from the beam on the spot. (End of chapter)
