Following Zhu Cixiang's instructions, Red Lady first reorganized Huang Degong's right army.
Of the 8,000 elite soldiers who attacked Shanhaiguan, except for 1,000 servants, they were transferred back to Wu Sangui.
The remaining 7,000 and 12,000 captured Han soldiers were all assigned to the right army. The missing 30,000 regular soldiers were supplemented by young men selected from military households.
Then there is the British Duke Zuo Army, which still has 40,000 noble soldiers, and another 10,000 young men are selected as regular soldiers.
Then came Zhou Yuji's rear army, with 60,000 troops under his command, and allocated 10,000 to Wu Sangui's front army, and then selected 3,000 from each of Liu Zeqing, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo to allocate to the front army.
In this way, together with the 1,000 servants transferred back from Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's former army also had 20,000 veterans, and the remaining 30,000 regular soldiers were also recruited from the military households.
Wu Sangui was so distressed that he was bleeding. Guan Ning's cavalry was gone, and only one thousand of his three thousand servants were left, but he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Finally, there is the Central Army. The Central Army has 100,000 regular soldiers and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers. The regular soldiers are Liu Fangliang, more than 50,000 from Li Dakai's army, the remaining 20,000 from Red Lady herself and the remaining 20,000 from Huang Degong's army.
As well as Wu Sanfu's remaining five thousand cavalry.
There are a total of 100,000 regular soldiers, almost half of whom are elite veterans, and the rest are those who dare to fight and kill. The 50,000 auxiliary soldiers are all selected from young boys of 17 or 18 years old and young and strong craftsmen with skills.
It can be said that the overall strength of the Chinese Army is greater than the sum of the four armies. Of course, this is only temporary. In the future, after all armies have rigorous training, it may be possible.
Apart from the central army, among the remaining four armies, Huang Degong's right army was the strongest, followed by Zhou Yuji's rear army, then Wu Sangui's front army, and British Duke's left army was last.
The soldiers and horses of Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie were not included in the Five Armies, and the Red Lady allocated several thousand more from Liu Liangzuo to Gao Jie, resulting in both men having only a little over 20,000 troops.
When the two of them saw His Majesty, they were not given a place to guard, nor were they incorporated into the five armies, so they felt a little uneasy.
Zhu Cihong also personally supervised the reorganization of the refugees, and there were more than 1.3 million refugees in the city.
When we first entered the city, we made preliminary statistics and divided them into groups of hundreds, so the reorganization speed was not slow.
Except for some skilled carpenters and blacksmiths who were selected, the remaining 1.2 million people were all organized into temporary military households. Apart from temporary military control, these military households had no other restrictions.
There is no need to be a military household for generations, you can also study for meritorious service, and you can even leave at any time to go into business.
So the refugees don't have much resistance. For them now, as long as they have food to eat and don't starve to death, that's all.
1.2 million people were organized into 120 military camps.
There are 10,000 people in each village. Each village has ten production brigades with about 1,000 people. Each production brigade has ten production teams with about 100 people.
In just five days, the Right Army took the lead in reorganizing. Huang Degong led more than 300,000 military households in 30 military camps and marched toward Yongping Mansion in a mighty manner.
Within the next ten days, the remaining three armies were also reorganized and began to go to the three sides of the capital to farm.
The Chinese army was stationed in the western suburbs of the capital, training every day, with no reduction in rations and no change in military pay.
This time, due to the capture of the Tatar camp, not only some grain and grass were seized, but also a large number of mules and horses, totaling more than 50,000 horses. Each army was divided into 10,000 horses, which can be said to have solved the urgent need of insufficient cattle for farming.
With the three armies in place, the north, southeast and three sides of the capital were all occupied by military households harvesting wheat and enclosing land, and the work was in full swing for a while.
Each army is divided into villages, with each village enclosing at least 70,000 acres of land. A production brigade is responsible for cultivating 7,000 acres, and a small team is responsible for cultivating 700 acres, which is about seven acres per capita.
As for how to accurately allocate the land to the name of the veteran, it is actually very simple. There is no measurement at all. I just point out who owns the land casually. Anyway, it is only in name.
These lands will eventually be distributed to these military households, but Zhu Cixiang has not made it clear yet.
However, the number of acres of land that each veteran should be allocated was clearly recorded in the accounts, and everyone was informed of the specific amount.
This made the veterans all happy. They didn't care at all that they had to continue serving for three years. Anyway, they got monthly military pay, food and accommodation, and the land was there, visible and tangible.
So when they were sent to various production teams to help, everyone was very motivated and worked harder than those military households.
These same regular soldiers with money and land also became popular, and countless military families wanted to marry their daughters to them.
However, there were regulations in the military that prohibited marriage within three years, so in the end they all had no choice but to get engaged first, but Zhu Cixiang did not interfere with this.
The management of each production team is also very loose. Each small production team selects a captain and two deputy captains, distributes rations on a monthly basis, and completes production tasks on time.
Each production brigade only sent two veterans, and each village sent a low-level officer and a military eunuch, as well as 20 veterans to maintain public order and resolve conflicts between military households.
What is implemented is all military law. There are only a few articles in total, but they are terrifying.
Stealing, robbing, cheating, armed fighting, once proven, they will be executed immediately!
If a crowd is found to fight, fight, or molest women, they will be beaten with as many as ten military sticks and as severely as fifty military sticks.
Other than that, there is nothing special that needs to be followed, because management talents are limited and being too lenient is not a good thing.
The gentry and landlords who had their fields enclosed were naturally miserable, but facing the wolf-like army and being labeled as having surrendered to thieves and the enemy, they could only accept their fate.
The landowners whose land had not been fully enclosed also sent servants and stewards to Hejian Prefecture to buy grain and recruit tenants to resume production.
The gentry whose land was fenced off had no choice but to move their families. Anyway, they had money and connections. As long as they did not cause trouble, they could buy land wherever they went to reset their family property. After all, there was a lot of idle and abandoned land in the entire north.
Zhu Cixiang also put his energy into rectifying internal affairs. The first thing to be rectified was Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
"Li Aiqing, from now on Jinyiwei will cancel the right to kill first and report later, and will no longer be responsible for investigating and handling cases, and will be dedicated to gathering intelligence."
"The next step is to make a big rectification. The Beizhen Office and a large number of professionals will be transferred to the East Factory. Some people with bad conduct will also be selected. At that time, I will set up a new department to accommodate them."
"It's your Majesty!"
When Li Ruolian saw that His Majesty was going to take back the power of the Imperial Guard and reduce the number of personnel, not only was he not disappointed, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nowadays, there are nearly 20,000 people in the capital of Jinyiweiguang who carry knives and eat the imperial food. Although he tried his best to restrain them, after all, too many people were killed, and the good and bad were mixed. Almost everyone in the capital was afraid and hated, like a rat crossing the street. Sooner or later if this continues
