Compared with the fanfare when he arrived, he left with only 800 heavy cavalry and Zhao Yun's 4,000 light cavalry.
Regarding Wang Yu's departure, some celebrated with joy, some sighed with regret, and some were suspicious, but in general, most of them were happy. Although after Wang Yu left, the strength of the Qingzhou Army stationed in Wei County did not weaken.
But for the 80,000 surrendered troops of the urban management brigade under Guan Ning's command, life has not changed much.
Today's urban management brigade has gotten rid of the initial chaos and has become more organized. All members have begun to polarize, because there are two ways out before them.
The first is to continue military training while performing labor service, and after selection, retrain and enlist in the army. In fact, although this unit is regarded as an auxiliary force on the surface, it implements militarized management internally.
The training is only slightly inferior to that of the Sixth Cavalry Army.
While this auxiliary army is working, people are constantly being selected to join the regular army. The Sixth Cavalry Army now has representatives stationed in the team. At first, the number was relatively large, with the meaning of overseers or jailers. As time goes by,
As time went by, the tendency of soldiers to flee became less and less, and the surveillance troops gradually withdrew, until finally only the personnel officers who specialized in selecting soldiers were left.
After long-term observation, these personnel officers will select suitable people to use for the expansion of the Sixth Army. For those who are still determined to gain fame immediately, this is a good way to escape.
The selection criteria are generally the same, nothing more than good health, loyalty and reliability, etc. However, there will be some differences in details depending on the selected troops. For example, the Yulin Army pays more attention to obedience to orders. The Taishan Army pays more attention to physical fitness, and the Thunder Army
Military personnel officers prefer to select people who are agile and have good hand-eye coordination...and so on.
Some people are willing to make progress while others are more satisfied with their current life.
Frankly speaking, life is not bad now. You will not work hard for more than five hours a day. There is no danger to your life, but you can have a very rich meal. Because of the battle in Gaotang, until the summer, the Qingzhou Army
The supply of Chinese meat is still sufficient, basically every day.
Of course, fresh horse meat cannot be preserved for so long, but the wisdom of the working people is infinite. One of the most abundant supplies in Qingzhou is salt. How to marinate horse meat longer and more delicious. The chefs of Gaotang have long been the biggest
topic.
There is meat to eat every day, corn rice is enough to eat, and from time to time there are white flour steamed buns, Lanzhou sesame cakes and other rare things. The well-informed man also pointed to the sesame cakes and told the allusions of the year, how Wang Qiaoqi went to explore alone
In the Situ Mansion, how they played with Diao Chan under the moonlight, and how Lieutenant Li pretended to sell sesame seed cakes, and finally decided the outcome in one fell swoop.
After a day's work, I was sitting in a new house where the fragrance of wood had not yet dissipated. The cool evening breeze was blowing by slowly. I was eating crispy and delicious sesame seed cakes, listening to the ups and downs of legendary stories in my ears, and dreaming of beauties and heroes in my mind.
.The heroic figure holding the world in his hand... In a trance, people can't help but have the illusion that the troubled times are over and the peaceful and prosperous times have returned.
Even if you are discharged and returned to work, it is unlikely that you will receive better treatment than this and enjoy such a comfortable life.
Generally speaking, even if the venerable deeds are taboo, they will not be allowed to be spread in this way. The superiors only like to let ordinary people talk about their greatness and loftiness, and entering Luoyang should be to save all people.
, for the sake of the righteousness of the world, not afraid of sacrifice, and resolutely devote yourself to it, instead of like now, as if it is just to show off and pick up girls.
But these stories had been circulating in Qingzhou Territory long before the Hebei War. Wang Qiaoqi seemed not to care and just let others comment.
The surrendered soldiers were puzzled and frightened at first, but after discovering that no one in the army was unlucky because of this, they suddenly became very interested, and even the fear of being captured was forgotten.
Listen, listen, the legendary image of the ferocious god with the ability to breathe fire from his mouth and the ability to kill people with his eyes has disappeared, and has been replaced by a young hero who is witty, brave, affectionate and righteous.
The fear and anxiety are all gone, a sense of intimacy suddenly arises, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who have been surrendered can always remain stable. It is probably due to these legends and stories.
When no one stopped worrying about this, everyone began to think about the future. Needless to say, for those who are interested in returning to the battlefield, as long as they work hard and train, opportunities will always come.
But such people are in the minority after all. They have experienced the terrible experience of being defeated and captured. If they are not forced or forced by life, those who still have the courage to return to the bloody battlefield must have extraordinary courage and courage.
For most people, being able to escape the bloody battlefield and enjoy a comfortable and comfortable life is a dream. And the kind Wang Qiaoqi did not ignore everyone's feelings, and has long paved the way to happiness for everyone.
The road ahead.
On the eve of leaving Gaotang and heading west to Wei County, Captain Guan personally read out the order of General Hussar. He said: After the large-scale construction that requires a large number of manpower is completed, everyone can return to their hometowns and become local pavilions.
A senior official.
This is an unexpected arrangement. The traditional responsibilities of the pavilion chief are to maintain public order, catch bandits, coordinate disputes in the countryside, and organize manpower to build roads and embankments. In the Qingzhou New Deal, the pavilion chief also has an organization organized twice a month.
Military training, and supervising the people's responsibilities in sending their children to school.
To be honest, everyone thinks that the last one is just superfluous. What’s the point of studying? It’s such a great thing that you can’t even ask for it! Why do those scholars have to work hard to study abroad? Otherwise, they can’t find good teachers.
, you can’t learn the real skills!
Now the general government will set up county schools and county schools in every county, and every village and township with more than 100 households will send teachers. In addition, the Taishan Academy in Gaotang City, the capital, is completely free to study, leading to the bright road.
A dragon! Who would not follow the bright road and have to let their children dig dirt all their lives?
No one is stupid, right?
In short, the New Deal has brought a bright future to all the surrendered soldiers. The only ones who are worried about this are those from Bingzhou and Yanzhou. Their hometowns are not yet under the protection of the hussar generals, and they want to return to their hometowns.
I'm afraid it's a bit far away.
Despite this, these people still have no intention of fleeing, but believe that the Cavalry General will not give up on them. They are waiting for the day when the glory of the New Deal will shine over their hometown.
The Yanzhou soldiers often quarreled with the Bingzhou soldiers over this. The former believed that the recovery of Yanzhou was just around the corner, while the Bingzhou soldiers were far away. Especially after Wang Yu mobilized his troops to Chaoge, the Yanzhou soldiers became more confident.
Although the Bingzhou soldiers were not angry, they had nothing to say. Bingzhou was far away and barren. Even they themselves could not think of any reason why Wang Yu should leave the rich Yanzhou alone and attack the barren land of Bingzhou first. Moreover, their
The number of people is also relatively small, so when it comes to quarrels, they are naturally no match for the 20,000 Yanzhou soldiers.
However, on the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, the situation changed.
May is midsummer. When climbing in midsummer, Shunyang is in the sky. The first noon in May is a day with good weather for climbing in Shunyang, so this day is also called the Dragon Boat Festival.
The good treatment of the urban management brigade is also reflected in holidays. The Han court has a rule: take a rest every five days, but this rule is only limited to ministers, and ordinary petty officials and ordinary people cannot enjoy it.
But now, Wang Yu has popularized this rule.
He eliminated the corvee that forced people to leave their homes and levied only land taxes and commercial taxes. He also stipulated that every five days, even farmers had to take a day off.
Every holiday, local officials will organize the people to gather together to read out the latest regulations and policies of the general government, and have a dedicated person explain it until everyone understands it. At the same time, civilian military training will also be held here.
One day. Use this to replace the corvee.
The army will not drill on this day. Instead, the soldiers will be allowed to rest or take turns to go home to visit relatives. The urban management brigade also follows the rules of the army and naturally has to rest.
Since the weather was very good, the soldiers left their barracks and construction sites and gathered in small groups on the main campus. Some were lazily basking in the sun, while others were enjoying the shade under the trees, playing chess, and chatting. They all looked like wild sheep.
scene.
Against such a background, a person walking quickly stands out, especially when he is smiling while walking.
"Wu Guang, have you hit someone? Why are you smiling so evilly?" A strong man who was drowsy from the sun was woken up. He rubbed his eyes and saw that he was an acquaintance. He immediately
He got drunk and scolded.
Turning around to see an acquaintance, Wu Guang smiled with his teeth crooked. He jumped over and shouted with a dancing voice: "Animal, what time is it, you are still sleeping, good news, good news!"
"What's the good news? Du Sima is back? Are the Shanjun coming to ask for people again?" The strong man, who was called an animal, stood up in a hurry, his eyes widened, and he asked hurriedly.
"How can there be such a thing?" Wu Guang shook his head in denial, without looking at the disappointed eyes of his companions, and said to himself: "General Gongming is in Jibei, and Lu County has collected more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans, how can he have time to come here to look for it?
Man? With your size, I’m afraid there’s little chance of joining the Thunder Army. You’d better practice your military steps and try to be selected by the Yulin Army as soon as possible.”
The strong man curled his lips and tried hard to cover up his disappointment with disdain: "Hmph, when a man goes into battle, he should use his sword and axe, sweeping thousands of armies. What's the point of stabbing people from a distance with a crossbow and a spear? I don't think so.
Better yet, I will go to the Wind and Fire Cavalry and recommend myself to the General Hussars later."
Wu Guang said with a smile: "Again, with your body, you can't go anywhere except the mountain army. Become a cavalry? What kind of horse can carry you? It's good if you don't get crushed to death. If you want to charge again,
, don’t even think about that.”
"You guys, you don't have time to entertain me. If the tiger doesn't show off its power, will you just treat it like a sick cat? Where are you going? If I don't let you have a long memory today, my surname will not be Sheng!" The big man got angry and held out a cattail leaf as big as a cattail leaf fan.
He grabbed Wu Guang's neck, picked up his other hairy arm, and beat him severely.
"Don't, don't bother!" Wu Guang was born a little thin, and the strong man was really huge. This display of power was like hitting someone and grabbing a child. He suddenly panicked and said indiscriminately.
: "Animal, Brother Shengda, let me tell you, there is really good news. You will be beaming when you hear it! If you are unhappy after hearing this, you don't need to beat me. I will carry the thorn sticks for you myself!"
"Tell me about it." The strong man looked at the other party doubtfully. He loosened his words, but refused to let go of his hands. He knew the details of this fellow countryman. He was not good at killing the enemy in battle, but he was very quick-talking, almost trying to build relationships.
It's no big deal, and it's naturally very powerful to find out the information.
"Actually..." Wu Guang did not dare to neglect, and immediately told the latest news in detail.
There are laws and regulations in the military camp, and this fellow countryman will not really hit anyone, but the problem is, the opponent's strength is really not small, there is no need to use serious force, just a few hits will be fatal.
"Eh... um... oh? Ah!"
As he listened, his expression also changed, and the initial surprise soon turned into surprise. Finally, the strong man jumped up high, then threw Wu Guang away, laughing wildly: "Hahahaha, the sky has eyes!"
My lord is indeed wise, now look at what Wang Biao and those guys are talking about? I also have this day, the day of success has finally arrived, haha!"
He was tall and strong, and he laughed heartlessly. He could be heard clearly in the huge school grounds. Soon, everyone was alarmed. (To be continued...)
