One thousand four hundred seventy-seven the army doing farm work
Seeing that the local bureaucrats were about to do something unpleasant, the Ming army officers and instructors quickly stopped them and told the local bureaucrats not to force them.
They are here to work, not to do other things, and the people are not without eyes, they can understand what they should understand after all.
Ming soldiers were not familiar with local crops and production methods at the beginning, so they asked local officials to find experienced old farmers to teach them how to use and experience to the officers and instructors, and understand some taboos that are different from the Central Plains.
Then the officers and instructors told the soldiers about these things, and the soldiers went down to the fields, and then the farmers continued to do the farm work that they had not completed, and did not take the initiative to get too close to these farmers, but just worked silently.
When it was time for dinner, they took the food and water they brought to eat and drink together. Then there was an hour off at noon. The soldiers found shade and other shades of trees to lay straw mats, and rested together, not entering the house, not disturbing the farmers, and rested silently.
After the lunch break, we gathered together to continue doing farm work until the sun sets. Then we put the farm tools neatly on the ridges of the fields, tied up the livestock, sorted out the places we had slept and walked, sorted out all the garbage, and then lined up to leave.
After repeated this for several days, local farmers were curious about this army and found that they were really not guilty of their own. They brought their food and drinks. They would pile up a lot of them neatly after using them, and they would compensate themselves if they were broken.
Not to mention the farmers, even the local officials found it strange.
At first they all thought that Ming Jun was joking and was ridiculous in a friendly manner. After a while, it would be fine. After all, this is what the above means.
So they just wanted to help the Ming army pass this novelty quickly so that they could return to the barracks as soon as possible.
As a result, they actually did farm work, and they did a good job and were very experienced. They were really not good at the public. They did farm work when they came, and they would still rest under the shade of trees or in some shade, without entering the house.
When it rains, I will also bring my own straw raincoat, hat and awning to shelter myself.
After the day of farm work, I took away all my things, left all the farmers' things, and the fields were served well, and there was a bit of a thirsty attitude of meticulous cultivation.
They are really engaged in agricultural production, and the agricultural production level is quite good, and they are really unreasonable and there is no incident of disturbing the people at all.
Is this really something the army can do?
Similar news came from the agricultural production areas of the entire Hezhong area, where Ming soldiers went, and these news were summarized into Masoud's ears. Masoud really felt very surprised.
He found Su Haisheng and found that Su Haisheng also looked like he had just returned from the farmland. He was wearing a coarse cloth short and a hat. His whole body was dirty and his body was filled with a strong sour smell.
He couldn't believe that this person was a senior general of the Ming Dynasty who had been drinking, having fun and laughing with him before.
So he expressed his doubts.
"Why do you really do farm work? What's your problem? Didn't I say it? Stop and stop, but things must be done. This is how the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty do things in their home country. Your country is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the treatment is equivalent to that of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the Ming army will do this."
Su Haisheng took off his sweaty clothes and kept scooping water to rinse on himself.
"Ming Dynasty soldiers were basically farmers. I did farm work in my early years and I was not unfamiliar with farming. Even after joining the army, if there were any emergency production tasks or emergency rescue tasks in the local area, it would be normal to organize the army to help."
Masoud was stunned by the hearing.
"It actually... there is such a thing..."
"The soldiers in the army are also peasants. Everyone is a family. If there is any difficulty, they must help each other. The food the soldiers eat is grown by farmers. What's wrong with helping them do farm work? Isn't this normal?"
Su Haisheng's words surprised Maswud even more.
Because he was very sure that such a thing could not have happened in the Kingdom of the Sikhrakhine.
The ones holding the knife are all the old men, how could they put the knife down and do farm work?
Farmers are afraid of the big head soldiers and are afraid of death. In the eyes of the big head soldiers, farmers are the kind of people who can take their mobile grain replenishment warehouses at will.
And the Ming army...
All of these can still be put back. What Masoude cares most about now is Su Haisheng’s next plan.
Does he plan to lead his troops here to farm?
"The matter of attacking Khwarezm..."
"Don't worry, sooner or later, it depends on whether there will be any problems within them."
Su Haisheng smiled, wiping his hair while patting Maswude's shoulder, and said with a smile: "When you stay, you can do farm work, it can be considered as paying for the food cost, isn't it harsh to you?"
"That... is indeed."
Maswud nodded with a smile.
What Su Haisheng said is indeed reasonable.
Half of the food and fodder used by the Ming army was produced by the Western Karakhan Kingdom. Originally, Masoud planned to fill this part of the expenditure from the spoils of war against Khwarezm after the war, but now it seems that it does not seem necessary.
These Ming soldiers were all the best men and were also a top-notch man in doing farm work. The Western Karakhan Kingdom had lost a lot of men and delayed the farming season due to the Western Liao conscription and the Ming conscription. I thought the harvest this year was a bit dangerous.
However, these Ming dynasties were responsible for farm work, and the military discipline was so good that they could wake up laughing in their dreams. This made Maswude feel that perhaps the agricultural harvest this year would not be too bad.
Why not, keep checking?
Maswud had never seen an army like the Ming army, mainly because such an army appeared too few times and lasted for a long river of history, but it was definitely not unavailable.
The Han army under Zhuge Liang's rule had done it. Zhuge Liang's troops went out to Wuzhangyuan to cultivate farming, and the Han soldiers lived and farmed with the local Wei people. No bad things happened.
It can be seen that even in ancient times, as long as the rulers had the will, they could still do such things. However, for most rulers, there was no need for such things, and Zhuge Liang had only one.
But for Ming Dynasty, such a thing is very necessary.
It’s true that with the strong help of the 30,000 strong men in the Ming Dynasty, the farming season that was delayed due to war and conscription in the Hezhong area was really snatched back little by little.
Su Haisheng and his soldiers were bare-armed in the fields, waving hoes in the sun, driving away oxen, donkeys, mules and other livestock to help plow the fields. The crops in the fields were growing really well.
During this period, local farmers also made great changes to the Ming army. From the beginning to the fact that they took the initiative to deliver water and food to the busy Ming soldiers in the fields, it took about half a month.
Both sides have different languages and their living habits are completely different. For example, the Ming army has three meals a day, while these farmers can only eat two meals a day, but this cannot prevent emotional contact and fusion.
Ming soldiers came to help with farm work in the morning and lined up in line at night. The military discipline was so good that it was outrageous, so the local farmers had to believe that Ming soldiers were really coming to help them with farm work.
Moreover, they are very disciplined and have not destroyed the farmers' equipment and houses, and have cleaned the entire village.
The farmers discussed for a while and felt that they could try to contact Mingjun, so they sent some men to send some food to Mingjun.
The Ming army soldiers accepted with a smile, and then took out the copper coins and gave them to them.
