There are more than 17,000 soldiers and horses, and the actual strength is more than 13,000. This is a very healthy and substantial data. It can be seen that the prestige before Xie Shang is still there, and the court's recruitment in the previous two years can be considered as a dedicated effort.
This is not sarcasm, this is the truth.
Shen Jin Those two thousand people naturally have a reserve. It is very good and powerful to maintain full strength at all times, but it is possible that he and his troops are just monsters. He has accumulated warehouses for decades with the strength of half a county, and he has recruited countless patrons in Wuxing to support and control these two thousand people. This is why he has achieved a strange full strength.
The rest of the people, whether they are the people in the three buildings of Liu Huzi, the people in the building of Gao Heng, or the people in the six buildings controlled by Wang Xia, all have a shortfall of 10 to 20%. Even Liu Cheng and Attendant Secretariat Supervisor cavalry have seven or eight shortcomings.
Those who visit relatives, those who are sick, those who die in accidents, and those who run away, there is no time to make up for it, so these are inevitable.
Including Liu Cheng and Huan Wen, we saw the same thing. They had to reorganize and replenish their troops on the spot to ensure that the number of soldiers was full. Even at the station, there was a daily shortage of about 20%.
This has nothing to do with eating soldiers' blood and empty pay.
Because under the sect leader Protector-General system these days, each general and building is responsible for itself, and there is no concept of free wages. Your superiors will give you a quota of money and food for a building, and you can allocate and discuss these matters within the building. It is your ability to be able to suppress it. If you are unable to suppress it, people will be dispersed. It is because of your incompetence that the superiors removed you Banner Chief.
That's all.
Liu Acheng It's impossible to say that people are not allowed to work alone in their buildings.
But this does not prevent him from grasping this list, ensuring the most basic right to know, and controlling some key points without taking them.
Therefore, after setting the rules of updating each building every month, Liu Cheng was really relieved... both internally and externally.
Internally, this is called controlling key points and mastering overall power. Externally, it means that Western Command Army is still capable of fighting. He does not think that the legendary master Xianbei is some kind of Jurchen superman of later generations. He is at this level over there, especially since there are Di people and Qiang people as intermediaries for comparison.
Ever since, in the following April, Liu Cheng obviously slowed down.
He started to look like an official.
Today, I invite the Wubao Lord who came here and the generals who are their intermediaries to have a meal; tomorrow I will inspect the construction of Great Granary, express my condolences and praise to Fan Ning; the day after tomorrow, I will send Shen Jin and who are invited by themselves. Huan Yi went to Qiao Commandery to open up a new base, and called everyone to have a meal together; when he turned around, several Hebei Northern Migrants Literati arrived, so what else could he say? Let's hold a banquet first and let everyone get to know each other inside and outside the house.
When he looked like this, Shouchun was relieved.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the outside is loose and the inside is tight, and the focus of the work has not been abandoned. The next step, of course, is Military Colony of Shao Lake, which is the logistics civilian husband, military slave, Reserve Forces... Anyway, it doesn't matter what they are called... it is to register and regain control of these people.
This is the core result of Yin Hao's hard work over the past few years, and I have to admit that it is still a very heavy military legacy. Before I got started, just by visiting, Liu Cheng noticed that Yin Hao's management is really attentive, and the divisions are in order. I guess that guy did go down to plant rice with bare legs, so that when Military Colony's elders here talk about him now, they still respect him very much.
Then this...Liu Acheng can't let Yin Hao, a big celebrity, compete with him? He arranged it for a long time, but if the result is not as good as this people-friendly person, then he might as well go to Mount Bagong and buy a piece of Tofu and get killed.
Aren't you just going down to plant rice seedlings with bare legs? Now that Spring Plowing has passed, it's not easy to plant rice seedlings. I, General Liu of the Vanguard Army, will take a group of children to help you pull weeds.
Wang and Xie Huan Zhu!
Have you ever heard of Zhu family, the one with the worst family status? Lord Longhuai's brother, Zhu Xian, is now the second-ranked general in Shouchun's family.
Anyone who dares not to do it will be frightened by the allusion that Sima Yu doesn't know Rice Straw and suffers from depression, and it's guaranteed to be done by someone. This place is not clean and cannot be inspected and goes back to the sun again. Pull it out! Wang Xianzhi, who had red marks on his vaginal hand, was wiping away tears while working. As a result, his eyes became swollen even after wiping away tears. It was all because Xie Xuan finished fucking him and came over to help him straighten himself out.
On the other side, unexpectedly, it was the dull Huan Bucai who was helping the out-of-character Zhu Chuo to pull weeds.
The young boys from the four sects were unconsciously divided into two factions: the noble sect and the lower sect.
Don't tell me, if they were all older, at the age of Fan Ning, it might not be so obvious. It's just because they are young that they can't hide their emotions, so they unconsciously differentiate.
"Where did we just talk?"
Under the shade of a big tree, Liu Cheng glanced at the four people in the paddy field, turned back, and continued talking with a dozen so-called elders sitting on the ground around him.
At the same time, dozens of steps further outside, there were twenty or thirty Huai River region brought from Nanyang, riding and holding swords, standing there. There were also people blocking traffic at the peripheral traffic points, making it impossible for the Military Colony people further outside to get through. Just now, they could only watch from a distance what kind of heroic figure this former soldier came from, Shouchun.
I really don't blame Liu Acheng for being pretentious. It's already very chaotic here, and Military Colony's sources are even more mixed. We really need to be on guard against assassins.
"The former army asked us, do you want to be an official?" Great Han, a shirtless man in his forties or fifties, repeated carefully.
"Yes, do you want to be an official?" Liu Cheng said seriously. "The imperial court wants to set up a township, li, and pavilion here in Shao Lake... We have more than 50,000 people here. We can set up five large townships along Shao Lake. Each township can add Youzhi and be directly transferred to it. I am in charge of it, and there is a copper seal. The countryside is divided into li and pavilion, the li is for the next level to manage the people, and the pavilion is for public security... I am going to hand over all the officials of the rural pavilion to you. If you do, I will receive a salary first, and then help Commandery Office to manage this huge Shao Lake Military Colony."
That's right, there are more than 50,000 men and women living around Shaopi, a huge water conservancy facility that spans two counties, not counting children and some elderly people. It is one of the most important achievements of Yin Hao's Northern Expedition.
In fact, after coming here, Liu Cheng has a new understanding of the contradiction between Yin Hao-Yao Xiang.
Although Yao Xiang is Qiang people, he has a big name and is very good at getting things done. If you add him as a person, you can become his own family. No matter how small Refugee Commander is, he can maintain his privileges and continue to be a small soldier. After the refugee group the North heard that he was in Qiaoliang, they went directly to him. Relatively speaking, Yin Hao's celebrity demeanor was really nothing to those the North refugees.
And although Yin Hao doesn't know how to fight, he can talk about the matter and he is not confused about this matter... How come there are soldiers fighting these days? How did Military Colony start?
They all rely on refugees.
As a result, Yao Xiang used both fame and geography to cut off the source of Military Colony here in Shao Lake. It would be really strange if Yin Hao could endure it. This should be the reason why the two sides were still able to work together as friendly forces Northern Expedition despite so much drama, and then suddenly betrayed Northern Expedition.
Yao Xiang felt guilty and knew that he had touched Yin Hao's core interests; while Yin Hao, although he attached great importance to this issue, was more concerned about the fact that Yao Xiang showed a personal charm that far surpassed him in the process, and did not feel that the two parties had reached that point.
In the final analysis, that's what he said, he just can't get along with the celebrity from Hebei and the celebrity from South of the Yangtze.
Yao Xiang can't even play the piano.
Back to the present, Liu Cheng was talking under the big tree with a dry mouth. Hearing these words, these elders and strong men who obviously have prestige in Military Colony did not dare to speak... You must know that these people have actually assumed relevant responsibilities in Military Colony. They have opinions both verbally and with force. They cannot be so stupid that they cannot communicate.
Liu Cheng had no choice but to stare at the person next to him and ask, "Don't you understand what kind of official the head of the township, li, or pavilion is?"
"Why don't you know? Mr. Emperor Gaozu is the director of the pavilion in Pei Commandery." The man's face turned red and he was careful what he said.
"That's strange, is it because you don't want to be an official?" Liu Cheng asked jokingly. "You don't know, I have a family member named Grandpa Liu San. When he is old, he just wants to be an official. I I used to work as Administrator in South of the Yangtze, but I finally got him a hometown Youzhi. He suddenly became ten years younger and paraded around on the road wearing a copper seal all day long..."
"It's not like this. Who doesn't want to be an officer?" Someone finally couldn't help it. "It's just the former army. We don't understand what the use of this officer is. Before passing Huai River, it was always a leader who had the final say. After passing Huai River, it was Shouchun The city sends people to take care of it, and sometimes the army comes to ask for people to do work, which is not the kind of work where you go to build a warehouse on the other side of the river and get paid... Now suddenly you have to set up an official, and before you had to register your name and so on, we don't know what we are doing, and who should we listen to then?"
"On the contrary, I know what you mean." Liu Cheng said with a smile. "I have told you before that I am also a Huaibei refugee. Like you, I know that when you are a refugee, you usually have to rely on a big family or a capable person. This kind of person is called a refugee commander. The meaning of commanding the refugees... It means that you do not deal with the outside world internally. You only have a refugee commander to deal with the outside world and listen to the instructions of the court.
"And when you came to Shao Lake, it was actually the Central Army you mentioned before who came down to plant rice rice, surnamed Yin, and became your big Refugee Commander for the tens of thousands of refugees in Shao Lake. But now Yin Hao is ill and can't take care of things. He has returned to South of the Yangtze. The imperial court asked me, a former soldier named Liu, to be your Refugee Commander.
"But it's a pity. I'm young and I'm a refugee. I can't take care of my own family at South of the Yangtze. How can I send many people to take care of you? So I simply asked the court for an official position... You guys, still think of me as Shao Lake's big Refugee Commander, so the official positions I've been assigned don't conflict with what you were used to before. They are all about doing things for me and taking care of these refugees for me."
At this point, many people seemed to understand and nodded.
"As for if there are still people in the army who bypass me and directly call you to work, then they look down on me Refugee Commander. You should report it to me at all levels and ask me to make the decision for you." Liu Cheng said with a smile and asked. "You guys, let's forget it before. After I came to ask you questions this month, which general has touched my Adult Males?"
Everyone hesitated for a moment, obviously knowing the meaning behind these words.
But after just a moment of hesitation, as one person mentioned a name, everyone quickly started chattering and talking non-stop. They all said that this general had been asking them to help build camps and houses. It was nothing if they didn't give him money. The most important thing was that he didn't give him food, and he didn't let him back until the evening. It was really unbearable.
Liu Cheng After hearing the name, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't get it right. Who is this person?
So I could only wave towards the ground. "Zhu A Ming, come here."
----I like the dividing lines of grass----
Shouchun Shao Lake There are Military Colony tens of thousands in the west of the city, and the public security is quite complicated. Emperor Taizu has been in office for half a year and has gradually become stable. Xie Renzu asked in surprise, "In the past Yin Yuanyuan When was here, he was taught by etiquette and couldn't put him in peace. What can you do?" Emperor Taizu said to him, "Yin Hao taught it in etiquette, and the people advanced and retreated in accordance with etiquette, so they were not at peace. Now I use the law to restrain it, and the people are afraid of choosing and rejecting it, so they are at peace."
