Throne of Vientiane Civilization

The invention of alcohol has great significance for the development of their medical industry in Da Zhou.

Although the war with Liang State and even the later war with the greenskins has been temporarily ended, don't forget that there is still a group of ratmen in the southern border who are constantly harassing their border.

Although from the current situation, even if they are ignored, according to the strength of Soros and others, Zhou Xu feels that he can deal with the ratmen over there steadily for five to ten years.

But considering that there are dwarves, greenskins, and even other forces on the rock wall, this layer of instability.

Zhou Xu still thinks that the existing troubles should be solved as soon as possible.

Of course, it is probably too late this year.

This is not the first time he wants to get rid of the ratmen who appeared in the southern border of their Da Zhou, but the plan has not kept up with the changes.

Although it is still spring at this time, at first glance, it seems that it is still in time to mobilize troops now.

But the actual situation is not the case at all.

Most of the troops originally recruited to deal with the rats have now been stationed in the New North District. The remaining 1,000 troops were just brought back to Xianyang by him in the past few days. They are now stationed outside Xianyang City, waiting for subsequent deployment.

From the perspective of rushing, this 1,000 troops set out from Xianyang City, rushed to the port of Green Forest City by water, disembarked at the factory area in the Rain Forest District, and then rushed to the South Border Fortress. This trip will take about a month at the fastest.

Of course, the travel time is only a small problem. The key point is that in the case of active attack, how much use can the support of this 1,000 human troops have?

According to Zhou Xu's idea, on the premise that the troops in the Rain Forest District have been mobilized, at least 3,000 more troops will be added in the South Border Fortress, and he feels that he has enough confidence.

In this way, Zhou Xu was very straightforward and directly issued a conscription order to add another 3,000 troops!

This time the reason is easy to find. Didn't their Great Zhou annex Liang State and establish the New North District last year?

Although the land area is not as large as that of the New South District, it is not much smaller. Considering the daily garrison, it is almost inevitable to continue to recruit soldiers.

As for the impact of the multiple conscriptions in recent years on the labor force in the New South District, all of them will be made up by prisoners of war and immigrants from the New North District, which are cheaper than the original labor force.

After sorting out this whole idea, Zhou Xu quickly wrote the conscription order and ordered the Military and Political Department to execute it.

"The new recruits recruited this time will be uniformly arranged to be trained in the recruit training camp first, and wait for me to make unified arrangements after the autumn harvest."

Obviously, Zhou Xu did not intend to rely solely on these 3,000 new recruits as reinforcements.

Although the individual strength of the rat people is weak, the number of the tribe is huge, and the rat tide is even more terrifying. Once a fight breaks out, it will inevitably be a fierce battle.

It is true that new recruits need to be tempered on the battlefield, but at the same time he must ensure the victory and casualties of this war!

If all the reinforcements are new recruits, if something goes wrong at that time, I am afraid that they will not be able to cover the bottom.

Therefore, according to Zhou Xu's idea, he would start to mobilize troops after the autumn harvest.

Take one thousand out of the three thousand new recruits and exchange them with veterans from various local troops.

At that time, plus the one thousand troops stationed in Xianyang City, there will be two thousand veterans and two thousand new recruits, a total of four thousand troops, rushing to the southern fortress in winter, and officially attacking the rat people there in the spring of next year.

He must use a strong enough force and the highest efficiency to completely destroy the rat people there in the shortest time!

At the same time, the most important thing is that he must not make any mistakes in this wave of operations, and he must win steadily!

Under Zhou Xu's special instructions, the work efficiency of the Military and Political Department was very high, and the cities in the New South District quickly issued conscription orders.

Under the vigorous propaganda of the storyteller and the Propaganda Department, the people of Da Zhou had long known that they had won the battle, expanded the territory, and added the New North District.

Under this premise, it is basically known to everyone that more troops are needed to station new territories.

The people had been prepared for a long time, and as citizens of the Great Zhou, this was a great thing for them.

Not to mention that the treatment of soldiers in the Great Zhou was well-known.

Once the conscription order was issued, long queues quickly formed at the registration offices in various places.

"Oh my god, how long will it take to queue up?"

Looking at the long queue, a wood elf took a breath, and then turned to look at the man who had already lined up.

"Captain, it's a rare day off, and you're spending it all in the queue?"

Hearing this, the man called the captain was also melancholy.

"What can I do? I just came here, and the queue is already like this. Now I can only queue up first, and you can see behind me. I just came here, and there are dozens of people behind me."

"..."

What their captain said was really not exaggerated at all, and the number of people in the queue continued to increase. None of the wood elves thought that the Great Zhou's conscription order would be so big.

Retracting their gaze, the wood elves looked back at the human man they called "Captain".

"Captain, are you not going to work on the logging team anymore?"

After saying this, the wood elves felt a little sad.

Since they first came to Green Forest City to work, the captain has always taken good care of them. Now that they know the captain is leaving, they all feel a little depressed.

Seeing this, the captain said very casually...

"It would definitely be better to be a soldier. When I go to the battlefield and make military achievements, I might even be able to become an officer and become a captain in the army!"

As he spoke, the captain laughed happily.

"But don't think too much now. We can't just become a soldier in our Great Zhou. This wave of conscription only recruits 3,000 people. After I queue up to sign up, I have to go back for a test. Only the top 3,000 people with the best test scores will be accepted. It's not certain whether I can get in."

At this point, the captain also joked to himself.

"So you don't have to rush to say goodbye to me. I might turn around and come back."

The wood elves were a little melancholy at first. When their captain said this, they were all amused and laughed immediately. The whole atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy.

One of them even took out a bag of melon seeds from nowhere and chatted with their captain while cracking melon seeds.

"Captain, you just said that the treatment of being a soldier is good, how good is that?"

"Free food and accommodation, meat every meal, higher salary than now, guaranteed job assignment after retirement, and with a military ID, you can enjoy preferential treatment everywhere, basically no matter which store you go to, you can get discounts, and..."

It was just a casual question, but their captain's words made them stunned.

Recalling their treatment and life in the logging team, and then comparing it with the treatment of being a soldier.

"Damn! Compared like this, being a soldier is really good!"
