"Zukuan is one, two or four cents." The quartermaster read loudly.

After receiving the military pay from the quartermaster, Zu Kuan counted it twice and found nothing wrong. There was even a lot of money!

It was the first time that Zu Kuan received military pay from someone who was not the steward of the ancestral family. After all, he had been a servant of the ancestral family from the day he joined the army. The steward of the ancestral family had always distributed the military pay.

This officer with a large hat and short hair is completely different from the steward of his ancestors.

The steward of the Zu family is very kind to people, but when it comes time to pay the military pay, his hands will inadvertently darken a little. Whenever the steward of the Zu family blinks his eyes, Zu Kuan knows that this month's military pay will be in a certain way.

There are fewer unknown reasons.

The officers wearing caps are very strict, but their military pay is not short.

After receiving his military pay, Zu Kuan planned to leave. It was only a few days a month to relax, and it was more serious to drink a pot of wine in the tavern at the door.

"Sign!" the officer shouted from behind.

"If I can write, I would have been a general long ago." Zu Kuan's words caused a burst of laughter.

"Then press fingerprints!" The quartermaster was a little impatient. There were hundreds of people standing behind him. Who had time to follow him?

"Press your thumbprint! Press your thumbprint! You have to press your thumbprint when you receive money!" He pressed his thumb hard on the ink pad, leaving a bright red fingerprint on the quartermaster's account book.

"Zu Chengxun!"

"Arrived!" Having learned from the past, Zu Chengxun behaved well.

"Brother Xun, you have a lot of money."

"It's not less. I have the same one, two or four dollars as you, but yours is less?"

"Damn it, these officers don't get paid."

"Are you still unwilling not to deduct military pay? Stop talking about anything else. The only real thing is to have a toothpaste at the shop at the door."

Li Xiao stood on a high building and watched the soldiers in various barracks lining up to receive their military pay.

"Send military pay directly to everyone. In less than two months, the soldiers of the ancestral family will become the soldiers of your Li family. How did you come up with this move!" Sun Chengzong looked down with interest.

At the scene, Mao Wenlong rolled up his sleeves and sighed.

"It's not easy to be a soldier. In my army, drinking soldiers' blood is absolutely not allowed. Soldiers usually get paid, but when fighting, they have to fight with their own lives. If I find anyone who deducts military pay, I will chop him into pieces.

He grabbed his claws." Li Xiao had never had his military salary deducted by anyone in his life. At most, it was just a shameless cross and forcing him to make an apportioned donation.

"Your storytellers have been dispersed to each army, and each battalion is equipped with one. Not to mention, these guys are very happy with the words "Mr.

Read the words on the booklet, Professor." Sun Chengzong took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao took a look and realized that it was actually the Three-Character Classic. In the beginning, human beings are inherently good...!

Soldiers need to be good at it!

"Let's not teach this yet. I'll write down a few clauses and let them teach them to the soldiers.

This is called the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention!

1: Follow the command in all actions

Two: Don’t take advantage of the people.

Three: All seizures must be returned to the public.

These are iron disciplines, and any violation can result in beheading on the spot.

The eight points of attention are to make soldiers pay attention and not to violate taboos. Violators can be imprisoned or punished. However, beheading is not allowed.

1: Speak kindly

2: Fair business

Three: Borrow something and pay it back

Four: Compensation for damaged things

Five: Don’t hit or curse people.

Six: Do not damage crops

7: Don’t tease women

Eight: Do not mistreat prisoners."

Li Xiao said something, and Yuan Chonghuan next to him took note of it. When Li Xiao finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan had just finished writing. Sun Chengzong picked it up and savored it carefully while blowing on the ink.

"Old Mao, these three disciplines and eight points of attention are much better than your "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames". In just eleven sentences, they outline the prototype of the people-friendly Iron Army."

"Haha! How can I compare with this kid's head? The things inside his head are incomparable to eight Mao Wenlongs." Mao Wenlong followed and watched, feeling ashamed as he watched.

"Every one of our Liao army must keep in mind the three major disciplines and eight points of attention.

First, follow the command in all actions, and only by working in unison can you win.

Secondly, I don’t take anything from the people, and the people support and like me.

Third, all seizures must be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to reduce the burden on the people

We must adhere to the three major disciplines and never forget the eight points of attention

The first thing you should do when speaking is to have a harmonious attitude, respect the people and don’t be arrogant.

Second, the buying and selling price must be fair. Public buying and selling must not be overbearing.

The third thing you borrowed has been used. Return it in person and don’t lose it.

Fourth, if something is damaged, we will compensate you not less than half the price.

Fifth, you are not allowed to hit or curse others, and resolutely overcome the warlord style.

Sixth, protect the crops of the masses and pay attention to them everywhere during marches and operations.

Seventh, you are not allowed to molest women. Hooligan habits must be eradicated.

Eighth, you are not allowed to mistreat the captured soldiers, you are not allowed to beat or scold them, and you are not allowed to search your pockets.

Everyone must be conscious of observing disciplines and supervise each other to ensure they do not violate them!”

Thinking of the three major disciplines and the eight points of attention, Li Xiao couldn't help but hum. The room was quiet, everyone could hear Li Xiao humming.

"Yuan Chonghuan, have you learned it?" After Li Xiao finished singing, Sun Chengzong turned around and asked Yuan Chonghuan.

"Write down the lyrics, the tune...!"

"Go back and find me the tune. Distribute it tomorrow and make the whole army sing it. Those who can't learn it in three days will be given twenty army sticks." Mao Wenlong showed his domineering tone for the first time.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Li Xiao and saw Li Xiao nodding. He nodded, picked up the pen and started copying Li Xiao's lyrics.

That night, singing was heard everywhere in the military camp. Both officers and soldiers were trying hard to learn Li Xiao's three disciplines and eight points of attention. Fortunately, the tune of this song is easy to learn, even if you are stupid, you can learn it easily.

Three days is enough time to learn.

Those storytellers played a mainstay role in it, and Li Xiao was surprised to find that these guys actually learned to conduct without any teacher, and the clever old Yuan even created a duet. Although the tunes had gone to the sky, these guys

Still enjoying it.

The land distribution went very smoothly. Unknowingly, Li Xiao discovered that the total population under his rule had reached 200,000. Although there were more than 200,000 people, Li Xiao still had a large area of ​​barren land to distribute.

Don’t go out. Basically, as long as it’s within the scope allowed by the policy, whatever land is given to whoever wants it will be given to them.

Li Xiao now controls this huge land from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, but the population in his hands is less than the population of a county in later generations. If he wants to divide all this land, he will probably need another 200,000 people.

After the land was divided, some people naturally wanted to protect their acquired property. Signing up to join the army became the most fashionable thing. For generations, our ancestors had never seen so much land that belonged to them. Now that the land has been divided among the officials, not only did the Tatars not have any land when they came over,

, even the family members are uneasy. The most important thing is that the military pay is high and they can support their families. Some promising young people who are not willing to work in the land are ready to take action as soon as they hear the news of the upcoming military conscription.

So there was a scene where the mother sent her son and the daughter-in-law sent her husband to join the army.

The number of soldiers in each place is very limited, and the people were surprised to find that the recruiters asked around when they entered the village, and only selected people who were honest, talkative, and dull. None of the smart young men were selected.

.

After struggling all the way through Qingming Festival, I finally got the things in hand straightened out and completed.

The troops were reorganized into two divisions, each with five regiments. Each regiment had 1,200 men, plus the supply battalion directly under the division, etc. Each division actually had 7,500 men. Chen Ford

I made a trip to Cangzhou and assigned each division a secret agent company of 100 people. They were all guys who practiced martial arts all year round and had two brushes under their command. It was said that some of them were quite famous in the world, but I didn’t know that Old Chen

What method did Fu use to get him into the team?

Ao Canghai, commander of the first division, and Yuan Chonghuan, commander of the second division.

In addition to these two infantry divisions, there were also two cavalry divisions. The First Cavalry Division was led by Commander Mangui, and the Second Cavalry Division was led by Commander Zu Dashou.

After expansion, Li Xiao's men now have 18,500 people. Although there is a clear gap in the number of troops of the Tatars, these are armies that control firearms. Their combat power is far from comparable to that of the Tatars. If it is a city defense battle

Among them, any division equipped with a large number of mortars can defeat an attack like last winter!

Ao Canghai's First Division was stationed on Juehua Island and Changxing Island, and Mangui's First Cavalry Division was stationed on Changxing Island.

The Dashou Division of the Second Cavalry Division is still stationed in Jinzhou, and guarding Jinzhou with him is Yuan Chonghuan's Second Infantry Division.

Except for the cavalry, all the troops have changed into new military uniforms. The olive green military uniforms are divided into winter clothes and summer clothes, and the winter clothes are not divided into front and back sides. If you wear the yellow military cotton-padded jacket inside in the snow, the snow-white lining inside will make people stand out.

It blends in with the snow.
