The sudden noise in the camp even alarmed Sun Ce who was talking with Cheng Pu.

The soldiers cheered excitedly, which made Sun Ce curiously walk out of the camp. He saw more than a dozen ox carts pushing in the middle of the camp, each cart carrying a cart full of iron tools! Hammers, saws, axes, chisels, awls,

Various instruments such as sickles and shovels are available.

These are all urgently needed marching and camping equipment for soldiers. They can greatly facilitate soldiers to build forts and solidly equip their troops. They are the most convenient equipment for ordinary soldiers.

Huang Gai walked up to Sun Ce and said: "General, the Lord of Shicheng County has arrived. These weapons are the weapons given to the General by Lord Gao Cheng and the hero Xu Yi of Shicheng County to build the army."

Sun Ce looked at Gao Cheng who was dressed in soap clothes with great interest and said: "The actions of Mr. Gao County are very clear and profound. Such fine gold and iron are so huge that it will take more than a few days to assemble them all."

Gao Cheng solemnly raised his hands and bowed: "Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the world is in turmoil. The heroes and heroes are supporting the masses for their own selfish interests, but no one can help those who are in danger. When the generals arrive in Danyang, they will eradicate the brutality and save the people. Not only are they with the people,

There is no crime in the autumn, and more millet is produced to alleviate the shortage. From this we know that the generals and disciples are not limited to the imperial court and foreign vassals, and their hegemony will not be weaker than that of Huan and Wen."

Huan Wen was Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. His hegemony was not inferior to that of Huan Wen, so he was naturally worthy of the heroes and sages competing to serve him.

Gao Cheng then pointed at Xu Yi and said: "I know that the general's great cause has been launched, so I recruit all the heroes from Shicheng who have the style of chivalry to work for the general. This is Xu Yi, the hero from Shicheng, who cares about wealth and justice, and is one of the country's scholars.

On the banks of the Yangtze River, many young knights from Yangzhou returned. They followed each other, carrying bows and slaves. When they heard that the general had just risen, they poured out their money and hid it to use as weapons."

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Yi, the hero of Shicheng!

Ren Xia in this era is different from those in previous dynasties. He is by no means the kind of lone knight who travels the world with his sword.

The real Ren Xia are heroes like Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang, Zhang Miao, Xu Chu, and Lu Su.

Heroes should even belong to the powerful category, but they are different from those who are greedy and cruel, resist the imperial court and abuse the common people. Their biggest characteristic is that they take money lightly and are good at giving, and give orders when they are in danger to save others in times of difficulty.

Rather, he has the feeling of being a great chivalrous person who serves the country and the people.

Therefore, if Gao Cheng really recruits many heroic heroes from Shicheng County in the past few days, these people help in times of need and are generous with their wealth, then they will bring a lot of wealth to Sun Ce, which will be a great help.

Gao Cheng, the county magistrate of Shicheng, was very strategic, and he left a deep impression on Sun Ce as soon as they met him.

"You are all heroes and righteous men, and you have come with me to join us in this great cause. You are welcome to come in as well. Your merits are outstanding, and you are worthy of being promoted and taking on important responsibilities."

After the guests and hosts took their seats, Sun Ce was very interested in the heroic Xu Yi.

In fact, many people in Sun Ce's army are heroes who have the ambition to serve as heroes, such as Lu Fan. Although he is a civil servant, his ambition is a typical representative of heroes.

To help the world, to help others in times of difficulty and to help similar people.

This kind of idealist cannot be available to everyone, but it is always indispensable in any era. Xu Yi and Lu Fan may become close friends.

Sun Ce asked: "You are a hero from Shicheng, how come you have so many tools and equipment?"

Xu Yi cupped his hands and explained to Sun Ce with a smile: "This is related to the customs of Danyang. A powerful family has to take care of the interests of the mountains and seas, collect iron and stone drums, boil salt, and a family may gather more than a thousand people."

Sun Ce immediately understood that Danyang did have such a favorable location. There were thousands of valleys, and there was a lot of copper and iron. The powerful men and women forged armor privately. Iron and steel smelting was very prosperous. Xu Yi, as a powerful man, gathered thousands of people, and it was normal for him to smelt equipment.

Sun Ce looked at Gao Cheng and asked, "Mr. Gao County has a far-reaching plan. How many heroes like this can he recruit?"

Gao Chengzhi proudly held his beard with his hand and replied: "To be honest, general, I have recruited three heroes from Shicheng County. They gathered together to follow each other. There were more than 2,000 people in total, armed with bows and crossbows, and thousands of halberds.

We must resign ourselves to the general's command."

Sun Ce asked in surprise: "Three heroes? How come there are so many heroes in your Shicheng county?"

If you calculate the number, you will know that although the other two heroes are not as good as Xu Yi, they still have hundreds of people.

Even if these hundreds of people gather in their fortress as hangers-on, they will still need a lot of land to support so many hangers-on.

I am afraid that the wealth of a pavilion can only sustain the existence of one hero. There is no room for two tigers in a mountain. If there are too many heroes, there will naturally be conflicts. For example, Emperor Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, often had trouble with Yong Chi when they were messing around in Peixian County.

There are thousands of households in Shicheng County. How many pavilions can there be? It’s not like they are all brave and honest people, right?

Gao Cheng had to explain: "This is related to Danyang customs. Each pavilion has to choose a hero to resist Shanyue's attack. Does General know anything about Shanyue?"

"I know a little bit about it. He climbed the mountain to face danger and hid in the valley. He also had noble strength and defended against the government despite danger."

Gao Cheng nodded: "Indeed, this is the world's impression of them. But when it comes to specific places, these people never enter the city, meet the officials, they all fight with soldiers, flee into the wild, and collude with the powerful. If there is no hero to deter them,

They then roamed the countryside and abused the people."

Sun Ce frowned slightly. Sure enough, the most serious problem in Shanyue was the collusion between the powerful and the bandits.

These people dared to fight against the chief officials, and the rule of the imperial court naturally collapsed here. In essence, this was a force that did not pay taxes and had armed separatism.

In any era! In any era, with this kind of armed separatist force, the people at the bottom will always be the most poisoned. Because you can't expect them to have any military discipline or ideals. They have sharp weapons and a murderous intention. They have no ambition and integrity, and only know how to do it.

Follow your nature, bully the weak, and annihilate women.

Naturally, those who have great ambitions and integrity will join a force, nominate heroes, and crush these powerful people and small ones.

Obviously, Sun Ce's military discipline and moral integrity perfectly met the expectations of these heroes. Therefore, there were three heroes in Shicheng County who gathered together and led more than 2,000 people to defect.

Sun Ce immediately said to Gao Cheng: "I once swore an oath to the three armies and founded the army in order to establish an outline and discipline, open up Jiangdong, and save the people of Sri Lanka. Shicheng County is now under my command, and I will protect it. In order to ensure the safety of the officers and soldiers, Sun Ce immediately said to Gao Cheng:

Heart, the heart of the people, the family fortunes of our officers and soldiers will remain here."

Gao Cheng laughed excitedly and said to Xu Yi: "How? I said that judging from General Sun's magnanimity, he will definitely be able to stabilize his rule and quell the chaos."

Xu Yi got up and solemnly said to Sun Ce: "The father of Shicheng, Yi, thanked General General.

The words of the heroes can basically represent the attitude of ordinary people. They welcome the army to settle in.

There are even the heroes of each pavilion, and Sun Ce's understanding of each pavilion may exceed those greedy wealth.

So Sun Ce asked in detail: "There are several pavilions in Shicheng County? I plan to set up a general wife, where do you recommend?"

Gao Cheng first replied: "Before the population of Shicheng County, there were about 4,000 households, which were divided into five pavilions and one -e -miracle, namely Hengjiang Pavilion, Jiangbo Pavilion, Tu Ting, Fairy Anti -Pavilion, Anqing Pavilion and Shicheng

County Yi. "

"How many households are left now?" Sun Ce asked.

Xu Yi said: "Fan Neng's troops are located in Shicheng County, and 4,000 households in Shicheng County can supply it.

Empty, between the countryside, there are no re -marks. If the general wants to place a general, you can choose these two pavilions. "

Gao Cheng added: "Today, Shicheng County has been in peace. From Hengjiang Pavilion and Jiang Banting to other three pavilions, the people who go to relatives may return home one after another.

May Hao Xia take a mediation for the general. "

Sun Ce is happy: "I have this intention! The first batch of soldiers who need to be resettled in the camp may be less than a thousand people, and the Hengjiang Pavilion is enough. The people of Hengjiang Pavilion returned to Jiangbo Pavilion.

Give Gaoxianjun and the righteousness. "

Hengjiang Pavilion can come back alive and people may have only a few dozens of or even more than a dozen households. These heroes are good people who are active in each pavilion on weekdays.

People, they can easily distinguish it. To those people who have hundreds of acres of fields in Hengjiang Pavilion, they all know. They all know.

With their help, some rape and evil people couldn't suddenly run over, saying that they had a lot of field houses in Hengjiang Pavilion, and forcibly took the family membership of the resettlement soldiers.

Gao Cheng was confident in this transaction, and immediately got up solemnly: "Be sure to live up to the generals and properly complete the resettlement."

Sun Ce nodded: "In addition, Gaoxianjun also quickly raises the number of households in the county, and in the Book of Tianjia. Zhang Bang notified the people to declare the Tianli life within a time limit.

, Will be awarded the citizen. "

Nowadays, there are many people in Dahan Tian. Regarding the land ownership, the government does not have much conflict with Hao Qiang.

After all, Sun Ce is now the princes, there is no tax exemption, and the saying is exempt.

As long as you are registered in the fields, whether in the hands of Haoqiang or civilians, you have to pay taxes to Sun Ce.

The taxes of the heroes are also tax, which is not more dirty than the tax paid by the people.

So they declare a little more, and Sun Ce can pay more taxes. This is actually a good thing for both parties to be happy.

Because of the people who are willing to declare, Haoqiang is willing to pay taxes.

Those martial arts thieves that were unwilling to pay taxes on the mountains will not accept Sun Ce's rule in any case. The two sides can only see the sword.

Sun Ce was even ready to use a long period of time and force to conquer these powerful clan thieves who refused to accept their rule.

Although there are three names, in fact, they are all Shanyue in the impression of later generations, completely vulnerable. There are many examples of Soochow generals marching into the mountains and recruiting tens of thousands of men and women.

After arranging the government affairs, Sun Ce began to handle the military affairs and said to Huang Gai: "Gong Fu has made outstanding contributions and was promoted to Sima of another department. He and Xu Yi were assigned to lead the new battalion."

Huang Gai and Xu Yi clasped their fists in agreement at the same time.

Both of them were promoted to Sima of other departments, but their division of labor was significantly different.

Sun Ce ordered: "Gong Fu is capable of civil and military affairs, and he can hold a great responsibility. After you streamline your soldiers and eliminate the old and weak, you can immediately lead your troops to Liyang to garrison. Liyang is a county with ten thousand households, and Governor Lu opened a warehouse there. The food and the recruitment of refugees are enough to recruit thousands of troops. The recruitment of heroes and the training of new soldiers are all entrusted to you."

This is a powerful appointment. Although he can no longer participate in the Battle of Jiangdong, it also laid the foundation for his promotion. After all, he once commanded thousands or even thousands of people. If he had no fault, he would not be demoted and command hundreds more. people.

So Huang Gai happily accepted the order and said: "Gai will definitely live up to the general's trust."

Sun Ce then said to Xu Yi: "The same goes for Xu Sima. Wu Zhonglang pacified the rebellion in the south of the county and collected more than 3,000 thieves. I will hand them over to you. You are responsible for selecting young men and training the soldiers. People of Shicheng County There are thousands of households, so you must try to recruit new soldiers."

Although Sun Ce's subordinates continued to have powerful men and their troops come to seek refuge with him, Sun Ce still had to establish his own recruitment system to ensure that besides the defection of heroes, he had another means of military expansion that he could control.

Xu Yi is a heroic hero in Shicheng County and has a reputation in Shicheng County. If he recruits troops, Shicheng County can also provide Sun Ce with hundreds of qualified soldiers.

And with the help of these heroic officials from Shicheng, Sun Ce also successfully decided where to place his soldiers. Then it was time to allocate women to the soldiers!
