Chapter 82

After leaving Shandong for 12 days, Liu Bu returned to Shandong again. When he went north to the capital, he was just a thousand-household official in Fushan District. However, through them, he handed a large sum of money to the Ministry of War. He is now the Qianzong General of the Jimo Camp.

Although he is still the same at the level now and is still a thousand-house officials, he has changed from a miscellaneous soldier to a regular army.

Of course, the Jimo Camp is affected by the Wuqiao mutiny and has suffered great energy. Most of the soldiers have not yet been recruited. Under such circumstances, the so-called regular army and the miscellaneous army are no different, and they are all empty-handed.

But what Liu Bu wants is this territory and this brand. He never thought that he would take down Jimo Camp and take down a battalion of elite soldiers. If Jimo Camp had so many elite soldiers, it would be impossible for the other party to sell him 10,000 taels of silver.

Now Liu Bu has transformed himself into the Qianzong General of the Jimo Camp, and is under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Preparatory Office in Dengzhou. His boss is the general of Dengzhou. The bigger boss is Chen Yingyuan, the East Fu, and the West Fu, where Liu Zeqing is located, has two systems, and both sides do not manage each other.

After Liu Bu returned to Jimo Camp, he immediately entered the camp city of Jimo Camp, announced the appointment, and then let their servants take over the camp city. He decided to regard this place as one of his new old nests.

Although Jimo Camp is known as one of the three major camps of Shandong Preparatory Japanese Division and the troops responsible for the connection between local garrisons and the Dusi, they were completely disbanded and had damaged their vitality. Many official positions were not available. Liu Bu came to arrange for the spot Mao, and only more than 200 people could come, but they were basically either disabled or disabled.

Liu Bu shook his head when he saw this kind of tragedy. Even if it was the Fushan Mountains, they could gather people together and then eat a vacant salary or a vacant quota. However, in Jimo Camp, the other party was unwilling to come even if he even signed up for a name or a slap. All the households at the first level were killed, and the highest level was the general flag.

This is also related to the deduction of military pay from the superiors. Although the imperial court intended to restore the establishment of the Jimo Camp, it still did not appoint the chief officer and did not recruit enough soldiers. It was seen that you had not even recruited enough soldiers. If you didn't start recruiting or don't send money to them, you would not be able to recruit soldiers without money and food, so you could not talk about the reconstruction of the Jimo Camp.

Only the local tyrants in Liu Bu were willing to spend money to buy officials, and they were unwilling to let other officials from thousands of households do it.

Liu Bu's cousin Liu Yu has been around here. If he is much more familiar with Jimo than Liu Bu, he said: "Sir, if you want more soldiers, it is best to use our servants to fill it out. If you don't use servants and want to ask for money from the superiors, you have to go to Dengzhou to visit the governor, Lord Chen Yingyuan, and ask him to arrange the distribution of money and grain, so that we can recruit soldiers and horses."

Liu Bu said, "Chen Yingyuan is so poor that he still expects him to send money? This is impossible. Moreover, I estimate that the money and food for rebuilding Jimo Camp is to let them embezzle it. It is impossible to ask him for money now. However, you will still send a document to me and formally inform me that I was directly appointed as the Thousand General of the Jimo Camp by the Ministry of War. I am preparing to reorganize Jimo Camp. Please support me."

This is just an official article. They all knew that they could not get the support from the above. The three major camps of Shandong's Japanese dynasty were beaten and damaged. However, the other two battalions, Dengzhou dynasty and Wendeng dynasty, were even more miserable. They were directly beaten and destroyed, and they were no longer able to build a military force because of the problem of food noise. They were also in a difficult recovery, even the border defense centers were like this, let alone the Jimo camp, which was located in the hinterland. In the plan of Governor Chen Yingyuan, the Jimo camp finally began to recover.

Liu Bu returned to Jimo and took charge of the Jimo camp's guarding the Thousand Generals. Liu Zhongyong, one of his deputy, led an elite soldier. This time they planned to rebuild Jimo camp, and directly used the Liu family's servants to enter, so that they could quickly form combat power. Moreover, this may be the front line for them to fight against Liu Zeqing or others, and they must use their servants' troops. As for their hometown, the Liu family's mansion, the Zangbing Valley, and Jufeng Mountain, they decided to recruit soldiers again.

This time, Liu Bu had a quota, and he decided to expand their Taiping Army to 2,000, of which 1,000 were deployed on the Fushan line. These were the newly-engraved group to train troops. The more than 1,000 Ding Army Taiping Army that they had trained before were all transferred to Jimo Camp and stationed in the place here.

Liu Zhongyong said, "Sir, you have decided. Our Liu family will recruit people again this time. You should know that if this recruitment is the one, the money we got from Jimo should have been spent almost the same amount."

Liu Bu said, "What's the problem with this? Money was originally made to spend. What's the point of not spending money? Now I am officially authorizing it to recruit 1,000 more people. Of course, we have recruited too many people, but the specifications and quality cannot be reduced. You have to strictly control the officer. What I want is good soldiers who can fight, not soldiers like these soldiers from the garrison who make a living.

Liu Zhongyong said, "No problem, I will go and do it right away. When we went to recruit last time, there were many good seedlings. They all worked in the nearby area. If we heard that our Liu family army recruited people, they must have come here to see them. Now the most lacking thing here is people."

In fact, after the Wuqiao Mutiny, the population should have withered. However, due to war, local drought, flood, natural and man-made disasters, and the number of tyrants and taxes, the people in many places cannot survive. Now there are signs of a large number of people starting to flee in famine in many places. In addition, the Liao people who have been constantly escaping from the Liaodong side, so the rich three East Prefectures are now short of people, but they are crowded with refugees everywhere.

They couldn't make it in the countryside and had no food to eat. They had no choice but to starve to death in one place. They could only use crutches to support the elderly and the young, and go to the big cities of Linqing, Jining, and Dezhou to see if there is a way out.

When Mi Zhu and his friends returned from the capital by boat, they passed through both sides of the canal, and passed through Jining and Dezhou, they also found that the city was full of refugees, and the streets were full of wanderings and beggars. This was the essence of the canal. If it was a remote place, they didn't know what the chaos was like. Liu Bu was sighing that this was the essence of the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the remote places were completely broken. Because there were many refugees in the place, it became very easy for him to recruit servants in the Liu family. The treatment of the Liu family was particularly good and the benefits were good. Countless people squeezed their heads and wanted to enter the Liu family.

When they heard that they had changed their name to Taiping Army, the name was so angry that they heard it. Now everyone knows what it means to be a Taiping dog rather than a person in troubled times. Now the local area is completely in chaos, with local officials domineering, tying taxes, and collecting everything. The people in the local area basically cannot survive.

Many people either join powerful families and sell themselves as slaves, find a place to live, or escape from famine.

In fact, many people know that the so-called escape from famine and eating outside is a very humble thing. Destiny cannot be controlled, life and death are not controlled, and they can only follow the trend and take one step at a time.

The Chinese people always pay attention to the fact that people leave their hometowns and are inferior. If they leave their hometowns, they are fish that are away from the water. They have no relatives and are helpless. They sleep in the open in the wilderness, and they do not necessarily starve to death in a corner without anyone at any time. This is a very miserable thing, so many people would rather sell themselves to a wealthy family than go to flee.

Chaos are everywhere now, but when wealthy families like the Liu family make money, buy land, recruit soldiers and horses, and recruit more slaves, Liu Zhongyong and others said that it is not only just that they are recruiting refugees, but just like the Lu Palace in Shandong and the Kong Palace in Gunzhou, their power is now expanding rapidly. It is just that the other party recruits domestic slaves, servants and servants who are slaves who are slaves who are slaves to serve for them. It is said that there are more than tens of thousands of slaves in the Confucius Palace. As for those who rely on the Lu Palace to make a living, they are even more unfamiliar with them.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty's rule in Shandong has begun to shatter, but these local officials and powerful people have a great opportunity to clear their stocks and buy land, buy land, bribe slaves, and expand their fields.

Jimo County was originally a first-class wealthy county, but after the last time the Jufeng thieves robbed, it was not as good as before. The current magistrate, Mr. Zhou Wentong, believed that he had great control and had a good relationship with the local area, and had the ability to control everything. However, since the Jufeng thief robbed the place once, he offended all the local gentry.

In the past, his most powerful supporters became opponents of him. Now Zhou Wentong feels like she is sitting on the fire every day, which is very sad and embarrassing.

When he heard that Liu Bu, the eldest son of the Liu family in Fushan, was converted from the Qianhu House of Fushan to the Qiancheng Governor of Jimo Camp, he was very happy. The Liu family had money, could he think of a solution from him? Moreover, it is said that the Liu family had hundreds of servants, so he could order the Liu family to send hundreds of servants to fight against the thieves of Jufeng.

If it were in the past, he might not have been able to take care of the other party in the Fushan Sect, but now Liu Bu is the Qianzheng General of the Jimo Camp. He is responsible for defending the local area. Since the local area has been harmed by the Giant Peaks, as a local official army, extermination of bandits is one of their tasks.
