It is certain that the mine slaves recruited will become the backbone of the new army.
For the remaining people, the Iron Government Camp will hire them as miners, and the mine will provide them with food and accommodation, and they will be paid another 150 yuan per month, which is enough for them to start a new life.
Liu Xiang was very happy to receive the good news. He blocked Yuyang now just to survive the initial chaos. He didn't know how many days the news of the rebellion could be blocked. Naturally, the sooner the time to pacify all parties, the better.
Liu Xiang was very tired, and he knew that the soldiers under his command were also very tired, but now was not the time to rest. He planned to reward the three armies in the evening to boost their morale.
Now we just have to wait for Yan Rou to capture the prisoners.
The afternoon was spent reading documents. Cui Yi came back in the evening. He walked in excitedly and shouted from a distance:
"Lord, I'm back. I've taken control of the craftsmen and mine slaves in the Tieguan Camp. I've also recruited more than a thousand people. I think I can recruit 3,000 people, and I can complete the task of my lord tomorrow. I brought you Ye
The tool is very easy to use, and I can do whatever I am asked to do. I am still writing the yellow list for mining slaves."
Liu Xiang poured a bowl of honey water for Cui Yi.
"Zi'an came and tasted the honey collected by the prefect."
Cui Yi drank it all in one gulp, thought about it and said, "This is the taste of honey water that only noble people can drink. I still like to drink."
"I'll go back and wait until everything settles down, then I'll treat you to a banquet."
Cui Yi chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for my lord's fine wine."
Liu Xiang chatted with Cui Yi for a while about recruiting new soldiers, and then sent his personal soldiers to Yan Rou, the Protector Camp Marquis Wang Xing, and the Zhongli Camp Marquis Yang Qian to come to the government office to discuss the matter.
Not long after, the three people arrived.
Liu Xiang invited several people to sit down and said: "Everything must be done by a master. Now that Yuyang City is in our hands, I intend to establish General Anping's Mansion and lead General Anping myself."
Cui Yi was appointed as the Xiaoqi Colonel, and Yan Rou was appointed as the Wuhuan Sima.
Recruit new soldiers to form the left and right armies. Appoint Wang Xing as the captain of the left army and Yang Qian as the captain of the right army. Each of you will bring 300 veterans as officers of the new army.
Collect the middle base camp as my personal army; collect the military camp to protect the middle army; select those who are good at shooting in the army to form the Shengsheng Battalion, and these three battalions will be under my direct control."
"I will obey the general's order!" The four men accepted the order in unison.
"Because the imperial court is incompetent and the people are in dire straits, we have raised an army, abolished the harsh government, and divided the fields so that everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear.
I will send people to spread this message widely among the people, and I also ask you to keep it in mind and not do anything to abuse the people in the future."
All four of them saluted and agreed.
Liu Xiang continued: "The name has been decided. The first thing is to reward the three armies. Only when the three armies serve their lives can we have a foothold. Meritorious service must be rewarded. I intend to re-establish the twenty-army title system, and all ranks in the army will be promoted and demoted."
Based on this.
Those who went to war last night were all granted the title of public servant, and were given 40 acres of land and one house, and their immediate family members were exempted from corvee service. Yesterday's harvest started from the public servant."
Cui Yi, Wang Xing, and Zhang Zhui are all veterans who have been in the army for many years and are very familiar with the military title system. They all say that if the military title system is strictly implemented, the army will be inspired and warlike.
Yan Rou had only heard of it, and the three of them explained it to him one by one.
In the excitement of talking, Cui Yi said loudly: "In the past, all the achievements were taken away by the sons of aristocratic families, and all the soldiers of a certain class were disheartened, but they were afraid of military law and reluctantly went to war. If we go to war again now, everyone will fight to be the first, for fear that the enemy will be too powerful.
Too few, the head is not divided enough."
After hearing these words, Liu Xiang reminded: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. You must not kill each other for credit. You must not kill prisoners at will, let alone kill good people and take credit for them. This is a taboo."
"Don't worry, my lord, the heads will be harvested uniformly after the war, and the credit will be shared by the brothers who fought in the battle. There will be no fratricide. As long as military discipline and management are strict, the killing of prisoners and the killing of good deeds can also be curbed."
Liu Xiang reminded the four of them: "You are all my followers. From now on, you must bravely take the lead and make meritorious deeds. The day when you will be granted the title of general is not far away. If you commit adultery or violate the law or bully others with power, I will punish you severely."
The four of them agreed again.
Liu Xiang waved his hand for them to sit down, and then said to Cui Yi: "Zian, the 370 people detained in Yuyang Camp are all elite veterans. If you go and persuade them, it would be good to keep a few more."
Cui Yi nodded and said: "Those brothers are all good men, so they should follow the lord to make contributions. I will convince them later."
After saying this, Liu Xiang turned to Yan Rou and said: "Ziming, I have an important task for you. In the future, you will need to continue to recruit Huqi, whether it is Wuhuan, Xianbei or Xiongnu, I will do it."
.
Tell them that as long as they serve me for three years and learn Chinese, they can change their Han name to Han nationality and bring their families to live in the Han region. Those who do not want to join the army can also join the Han as long as they learn Chinese and serve for five years.
membership."
Yan Rou said in surprise: "My lord, under such conditions, the small tribes of the Hu people will go crazy and run over. The big tribes will also have many refugees running towards my lord. It's hard to tell between the Wuhuan and the Xiongnu. Xianbei will definitely have to fight."
we."
"So Ziming wants to select people first, and then tell them that this matter should be done quietly first. Yuyang only has more than 400,000 people, and the adult population is only 150,000. We cannot recruit too many people to join the army.
Yuyang has Gu water, Baoqiu water for irrigation, and a large area of wilderness pasture. In the future, more refugees and barbarians will have to be attracted in order to have enough labor to open up wasteland for farming and establish pastures.
After some time, when the land distribution was completed, Ziming went to Kuangping County and Xixi County to handle the government affairs of the two places, open mutual markets, recruit Hu cavalry, and station troops on the ancient road of Gubeikou to resist the Hu people.
Going south, if there is an opportunity, we can send troops to capture the Baitan Pass and master the strategic route to attack Wuhuan. There are many things to do, and you have to work hard to understand."
Kuangping County is located to the north of the modern Miyun Reservoir, and Banxi County is located near the modern Gubeikou. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two places were at the horns of each other. They were strategic locations to resist the Wuhuan and Xianbei raids from the south.
When Yan Rou heard that Liu Xiang had arranged so many tasks for him, she was not bothered but secretly happy. He was not afraid of difficulties, but afraid of not having the opportunity.
"You will live up to your master's trust."
"This matter is not urgent. We will discuss it in detail with Ziming later. Ziming also needs to think about it carefully. It is best to make a strategy and show it to me."
"only."
Liu Xiang continued: "The top priority is to organize and train the new army. Ziming wants to speed up the selection of prisoners, and the selected people will be reorganized together with the recruited miners.
Tomorrow, the city will also recruit troops and recruit young and strong Han people to join the army. Wang Xing will be responsible for this matter.
The military system is still the same as that of the Han army. Five people are in a corps, and one of them is elected as the captain; two corps are one Shi, five Shi are one team, two teams are one tun, and five tuns are one song. Shi long, team rate, and tun commander
, Qu Junhou was selected from the veterans of the two battalions of the Guards and the Middle Base."
Yan Rou and Wang Xing took the order.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Xiang arranged for the army to be rewarded with wine and meat, distributed it to the soldiers in various places, and ordered four people to go back to their headquarters to preach about the rewards.
Cui Yi went to the railway official in the north of the city with the rewards from the knights and the comfort materials from the iron official camp craftsmen and miners.
Yan Rou returned to the county army barracks.
Wang Xing was in charge of the interior of the city, and Zhang Zhui was in charge of the city walls.
The officers and soldiers of each camp received military titles and were rewarded with wine and meat. They lit bonfires to celebrate and had fun until late at night.
Liu Xiang made a tour and saw that the morale of the officers and soldiers in the battalions was high. Although the people in the city were still cautiously staying behind closed doors, there were no more bandits making trouble, so he felt relieved.
Yuyang has been settled, the next step is Fox Slave.
