Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 251 Kaihua Ji
Perhaps it was because Kaihua Ji was "inspired" by Gan Ning?

Or is it because Gan Ning had the purpose of "civilizing" ignorance when he put the brocade robe on her, and it was not just for the purpose of conquering and enslaving?
In short, Kaihua Ji's abilities are closer to those of the Han Cheng Ji, but they are slightly different from Cheng Ji, and she is not connected to the Han Cheng Ji...

In the following months, Gan Ning was naturally not idle in Yizhou. Now that he had a "Cheng Ji", Gan Ning's journey to enlightenment became easier.

The entire Yizhou is undoubtedly pitifully small in terms of "state", but in terms of counties, it is relatively large in terms of area - at least in densely populated areas such as the Central Plains, Huainan, and Jingbei, it is considered a relatively large county. , about the same size as Wuling and Lingling.

However, in terms of population, the total number of Dongbo people in Yizhou is less than [-]. With over a thousand people, they are already a relatively large tribe. The total population is about the same as that of a larger county.

After Kaihua Ji appeared, Gan Ning tried it, using Kaihua Ji to collect and deploy the "manpower" of the Kaihua Department - Kaihua Department, which was also Gan Ning's new name.

Successfully "trained" the first batch of barbarian soldiers - there was no other choice. Even though Gan Ning had mastered the training methods of several types of soldiers, perhaps due to restrictions on the source of soldiers and equipment, he could only train people with crude wooden spears and small weapons. Yi soldiers with bent bows.

But by this time Gan Ning had also discovered that the composition of the Dongbo people, the manpower required for the Yi soldiers, and the Han Chengji were obviously different - only 10 manpower could be used to train a Ji to build a Yi soldier, and Han Cheng Ji Training generally requires 50 manpower!

And it also only requires 1 manpower to maintain it every year, which means... ten years later, even the Dongbo people with "Kaihua Ji" will be able to have almost as many barbarian soldiers as the young and strong tribesmen.

But at the same time, the corvées of the Oriental people also require 10 people, which is the same as that of the Han people, and... the labor efficiency of the corvées trained by the Oriental people is very low, and even the most basic farming efficiency is only one-third of that of the Han people. One, more delicate work is even more disastrous.

It seems that the Dongfu people need to be taught how to do it first, otherwise the trained corvées will still know nothing.

"That is to say...population quality still has a great impact on manpower?" Bai Tu added.

"Population quality? Well, you can put it that way. I asked a few shipwrights to try it. The manpower of ordinary Han people cannot be received by Kaihua Ji." Gan Ning said.

"That's right! What about official seals and military talismans? Can Kaihua Ji give these to the Dongbo people?" Bai Tu asked curiously.

"I was about to say, don't interrupt me all the time..." Gan Ning said in disgust.

Bai Tu had no choice but to keep silent for now.

Naturally, Gan Ning also tried Kaihua Ji's other functions - as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Gan Ning could theoretically open a palace and build a family. Kaihua Ji was also "pulled" into the subordinate position of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy by Gan Ning.

Equivalent to the leader of the Kaihua Department, he was a "staff member" under the Navy Governor's Mansion, so Gan Ning could directly give orders to Kaihua Ji.

For the purpose of testing, Gan Ning first tried it on the Afro people from the Ministry of Civilization. He found that the ability originally possessed by Yi Ji to grant weapons to young Afro men and women and make them warriors disappeared, but... she was still able to give them weapons. The bravest and strongest group of Dongji people wear "beast faces"—that is, the masks of wild beasts.

After putting on the mask, the strength of the Anchor Warrior is not weaker than that of the armor, which is the same as other Yi Ji.

Officers who already had military talismans and became generals could no longer be awarded the beast face. However, in order to be more rigorous, Gan Ning also found a shipwright to try...

The fleet also includes a small number of ordinary people, who are neither Ji Zao soldiers, generals, or scribes, but generally ordinary people with outstanding abilities in navigation.

This boatman is also the "household slave" entrusted to Gan Ning by the Gan family. Before Gan Ning discovered that he is very strong, has the habit of exercising, and is also a dream boatman. Belonging to a "hidden household", the court has seldom confiscated manpower since childhood, so there is a condition for awakening the soldier talisman!
Gan Ning had promised him before on the ship that after returning to Jiangdong, he would recommend him to participate in the next general selection of Chengji Mansion.

But now for the sake of "experiment", Gan Ning pulled him over...

As a result...it really succeeded!
Although it is impossible to extract manpower, it is possible to grant beast faces to the Han people and make them transfer to the Eastern Anchovy Warrior.

Under this accident, it was not a bad thing to become the shipwright of the beast-faced warrior - as a servant of the Gan family, Gan Ning changed his surname to "Gan" and gave him the name "Hua", promising that he could serve as a general in Yizhou. .

If he were in Yangzhou, with his qualifications and no special luck, his ability to work hard enough to become a captain would be the limit.

Gan Ning also took action to test the ability of the beast-faced warrior.

After putting on the mask, the body of the beast-faced warrior will become partially beast-like.

The effect of the increase is similar to that of the warrior with the battle pattern painted on the barbarian girl. It mainly increases strength, speed and intuition, and the increase for weapons, especially long-range weapons, is very small.

There are two types of masks, one is a wooden mask, and the other is a bronze mask. The latter is very rare, and each of the five largest tribes only has one or two.

The degree of increase can basically compete with the wooden and stone weapon talismans and the gilded military talismans. As for the gold and jade weapon talismans... there is no mask that can match the standard. After all, there are only less than 10 people in the Eastern Anchovy. It is not surprising that no gold and jade level warriors have ever been born, and No practical text, even if it has appeared in the long years, no posterity knows.

Gan Hua was left behind in Yizhou by Gan Ning, but among the Dongbo people who came back with him, there were also beast-faced warriors, and the general's specific abilities could be further tested.

In the three months after Kaihua Ji appeared, Gan Ning also traveled across Yizhou!
Just relying on Kaihuaji and Kaihuabu, although their strength has greatly increased after "Kaihua", but... let alone Zongheng Yizhou, I am afraid that even the nearby Yellowtail Department cannot fight.

After all, soldiers are born through "training". Even if the Oriental people need less manpower to combine soldiers, but... after all, they have taken the first step towards the separation of military and civilians, stepping out of the past era of all soldiers. In the short term, combat effectiveness is declining.

It's just because there are more beast-faced warriors that it seems stronger than before...

Gan Ning briefly taught the twenty-odd newly emerged beast-faced warriors in the tribe, and then irrefutably appointed Gan Hua as a headhunter - not a headhunter who focuses on talents, but a "hunting leader", usually in the tribe The status is second only to the leader.

After adding in some of Gan Ning's generals, the army was filled with ten men and one commander, which was equal parts Han generals and Yi Yong.

Fortunately, Ji Zaoyi soldiers can also be led by Han generals.

At the same time, I made barbarian soldiers for these more than 400 Ji, and replaced them with the navy's spare or damaged weapons...

Compared with before, the strength of the Yi soldiers has been greatly improved because of their weapons, but compared to Gan Ning's regular army, they are probably still ten to one.

After all, when changing weapons, they only replaced simple knives and guns. As for crossbows, bows, etc., they still need training. As for armor... the navy didn't have much extra, and only put on armor for twenty masked warriors. .

This also convinced Gan Ning that when they partially transformed into beasts, the armor would be integrated with their "fur", just like when the armor is loaded with armor...

However, these beast-faced warriors can only rely on special roars to command or inspire their subordinate barbarian soldiers, and their leadership efficiency is very poor.

Moreover, the training difficulty of Ji Zao Yi soldiers is different from that of Ji Zao soldiers who are the source of soldiers from Han people. In terms of basic combat, such as wielding knives, stabbing guns, keeping calm and courage when facing the enemy...they don’t even need training, but in In terms of following the dispatch and command, the training difficulty has suddenly increased.

In the end, Gan Ning didn't have much patience, so he only taught them basic commands such as beating the drum to advance, stopping the shooting array, and retreating with the sound of gold, and then took them out to "leap around".

The reason why there is such a big difference is that the combat effectiveness of the Yi soldiers is clearly negligible in Gan Ning's opinion, but he deliberately armed these newly trained Yi soldiers, naturally for the purpose of "promotion".

As an outsider, if you conquer with absolute strength, the other party is likely to be dissatisfied. Supporting the Oriental people themselves to establish a new order will undoubtedly be more acceptable.

When Gan Ning unloaded batches of "relief grain" from the ship, the entire Ministry of Civilization was boiling...

These relief rations were not finished during the disaster year, and were used by Gan Ning to ballast the cabin. Under normal circumstances, unless the army rations were tight, Gan Ning did not want to take out the relief rations at all.

Although it is convenient to store and full of food,...the navy is not adapted to long-term sea marches. During continuous voyages, morale is easy to decrease. The "friendliness" of food is an important aid to prevent the decline of morale.

And for the Ministry of Civilization, so much food is enough for them to not have to hunt and pick for several months, right?
Even according to the "Grand Governor", these foods can be preserved for a long time!

This makes them feel very at ease, and their happiness has never been so high...

Of course, Gan Ning did not raise lazy people in vain. The reason why he gave them food for a few months was to teach them farming later - well, actually Gan Ning didn't know how to do it, but there were always people in the navy who did.

In fact, these Oriental people are not used to the daily work centered on farming, and they also question in their hearts, can they really have enough to eat next year by relying on the harvest of planting?

After all, for the Oriental people, not only are their farming skills insufficient, but their land has not been cultivated or fertilized. Even the crop seeds are still very "rudimentary" and are almost all wild seeds, which are completely different from the seeds used by mature farming civilizations.

But... no one dared to oppose the "Grand Governor" when there was food.

Moreover, Gan Ning brought several kinds of seeds cultivated by the Han people. Although these seeds need to be improved according to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, in the eyes of the Dongbo people, they are already "high-yielding crops"!
As for the more than 400 Yi soldiers, Gan Ning took them to fight...
