Chapter 221
Han Xin's words soon spread among the army.
Human beings are social animals with vanity, a desire for comparison, desire, perseverance and ideas.
Although the Han army was powerful, regardless of their identity, they were actually no different from the Chu army opposite them.
They are all ordinary people to the extreme. They are uneducated, do not have strong subjective thoughts, and do not have so many unrealistic ideas.
When you face this kind of person, tell him about your family and country's ambitions, and about the benefits of unification to the future of the nation.
it's no use.
It’s not that they don’t care, it’s that in this current state, they can’t understand what the meaning of what you said is to them?
If Han Xin only talked about how the King of Han treated them and how Han treated them, then Han Xin's words may not be able to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
On the contrary, a piece of chicken blood that seemed to have no nutrition actually made the soldiers resurrected with full blood and screamed.
For them, most people have titles.
However, most of the titles are only first-class sergeants and second-class superiors. Some are veterans who joined the Han army early, were lucky, and participated in most battles. Now most of them are third-class hairpins, and very few
Some Level 4 will not be updated.
It's not that there are no people who actually start from scratch and get the title of fifth-level doctor, but they are very few.
Let’s not mention the generals. We are talking about ordinary soldiers here, those with official positions below 100 generals.
For them, the only way to gain credit is through war.
So Han Xin directly pointed out that this would be the last battle that most of them could participate in in the next ten years. If they wanted to get the title they wanted after the war, they would have to at least fight hard.
Common people and grassroots soldiers are very realistic. Therefore, the biggest wish of soldiers with third-level hairpins and fourth-level hairpins is to be promoted to fifth-level doctors after the war.
This means that they can enter the ranks of county officials, and their remuneration is as follows: a fifth-level doctor, with an annual salary of 25 dan, and a county supervisor and prosecutor, with an annual salary of 25 dan.
The big guys don't live on these salaries, but ordinary people like them need it very much.
When you reach the fifth level, you will get forty-five dan per year, which is enough to support a family of three. You can eat whatever you plant on the farm.
If the fourth level is not updated, one can only enjoy the right to be exempted from the corvee. The actual benefit is that the salary is twenty-five stones less than that of the fifth level.
One level of difference, double the difference.
How could this keep them from being moved?
As for those with first- and second-level titles, their biggest wish is to be promoted to the next level, and first they will be exempted from corvee service.
As for whether the Han Dynasty's title system will collapse like the Qin Dynasty, it is difficult to say for the time being. Anyway, the King of Han has promised that if it is not changed, it will not be changed, and he will never recruit anyone with a title or above for corvee service.
"General, do you want someone to build some siege equipment for show?" Jiagu returned to his previous serious attitude.
"No need, we don't have enough time, I already have a solution!" Han Xin shook his head.
The siege equipment was bulky and large, making it typically difficult to move.
The scene in the TV series where the ladder is knocked down directly is impossible to appear here, because the siege ladder is not only a ladder, but also has a huge wheeled chassis underneath, which cannot be knocked over at all.
Even if it can be pushed, it can only be moved backwards in parallel and away from the city wall for a certain distance.
Moreover, once the engineering ladder is in place, the first step is to secure it and use stones from the vehicle to block the wheels. At the same time, soldiers hide beside the vehicle and keep an eye on it. If there is any sign of looseness, they will immediately reinforce it to prevent movement.
Therefore, in addition to ladders, those shown on TV have other things, but they are never used in that way.
It is difficult to attack the enemy. The difficulty lies in the fact that a local battlefield requires one to five people, or even more people.
In a small and confined space, how do you hide if five people each shoot you?
All we can do is push up, and then the cloud chariot archery tower at the height of the city wall will suppress the city wall defenders. This is the only cover.
Moreover……
The fundamental reason why Han Xin repeatedly increased his marching speed is.
All the roads for King Han have been paved, and the difficulty of siege has been reduced to a minimum.
If he can't give a satisfactory explanation like this, it only means that this general is too weak.
The scouts who broke into Chu Di were not just about collecting intelligence. If they were to do just that, they would be using anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.
The Han army's annual expenditure on this was enough to support an army of 100,000 people.
…
Zhe County.
In a private house, a middle-aged man was lying in the shade, squinting his eyes slightly.
"General, the army will arrive outside the city before dark tomorrow. The general asked us to arrange for people who are dissatisfied with the Chu State to prepare for support in the city!" A young man walked up to him and whispered.
"Well, tell them to prepare a team tomorrow night and wait for my news!" The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes.
For latent people like them, it is not easy to get big achievements, but small achievements can come one after another.
The tasks are different, the nature is different, and the requirements are also different.
Basically, if there are no problems in the work within your jurisdiction within a year, you can record a small merit.
And it is difficult for them to move up, one carrot after another. As the unification progresses, the requirements for scouts will become higher and higher, and the demand will become less and less.
Not only does he want to be promoted, but the people above him also want to be promoted, and those above him also want to be promoted.
Then the problem comes. The competition becomes more fierce as you go up. If you want to stand out, you must be able to produce results that leave people speechless.
As a result, various parties made frequent plans.
Zhe County belongs to Chen County, the north of Xiang County is under the jurisdiction of the North Branch of Chen County, and the south is under the jurisdiction of the South Branch of Chen County. Chen County Headquarters' promotion to the rank of Colonel is already a certainty, and now it's up to two thousand people from the north and the south to fight for it.
The position of the captain of Chenjun.
The Miao people also wanted to move up the mountain, so they had more activities in private.
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the interpersonal aspects, but when it comes to work, he has also made quite a lot of preparations.
After waiting for a year, it was finally my turn to show off my skills.
"Go and inform those who made the statistics before and ask them to gather outside the north gate before dark tomorrow!" the Miao people directly ordered.
"promise!"
The Miao people had previously found a group of people in Zhe County. This group of people all had one characteristic, that is, they had been suppressed by the nobles, were dissatisfied, and even had problems eating.
We just had a brief chat before, which was a preparation for the follow-up. Today is the day we are waiting for.
But for the Miao people, this is just a backup plan.
