After Zhang Xiaoming received the holy decree, he immediately began to take office.

Because Sima Shu had favored Shi Hu and offended the clans in the court, the original plan to recruit troops from the clans was difficult to implement, and these clans all took a wait-and-see attitude, concluding that Sima Shu could not last, and the better ones were closed, and more began to contact the vassal kings in various places in private.

Zhang Xiaoming didn't care, he went to the army and let the soldiers choose freely, those who were willing to stay stayed, and those who wanted to go back to their hometown returned to their hometown.

Most of the Han troops in Sima Shu's army were from the old Zhao State, and they had already helped Sima Shu to conquer Luoyang, and they felt that their mission had been completed, but they were worried about the safety of their hometown, so they left one after another.

On the contrary, it was the Qianren, although they had a bad relationship with Liu Kun and Sima Yun, but they still stayed because they thought that Yecheng had fallen and had a deep blood feud with the Huns.

The lower class people don't know, but Shi Hu knows, now that Zhao Di has been lost, he has become a rootless Ping, and it can't be done at all if he leaves, and with the help of Yang Pingfan and other immortals, the chance of winning with Sima Shu is the greatest.

After stabilizing the old army, Zhang Xiaoming erected a recruitment flag and specially selected new recruits from among the refugees who had fled to Guanzhong.

In the past, recruiting soldiers was very simple, to put it mildly, as long as it was an individual, but the regent's recruitment this time has a very high threshold, and the age requirement is between eighteen and twenty-five years old.

At the same time, it is better to be healthy and free of disabilities, to be tall and strong, to be honest and honest, and to refuse to be flamboyant.

Of course, such harsh conditions, the corresponding treatment is also very generous, and the recruiting officer announced on the spot that after the regent pacifies the world, he will give everyone a reward of ten acres of land.

In addition, each person also has a monthly salary of 2 taels of silver, and those who pass the recruitment assessment will be issued new military uniforms and bedding on the spot.

The food in the barracks is no longer Qingshui radish nest head, but instead of steamed bread mutton soup, you can also eat roast mutton with skin once in three days, and the generous treatment makes the refugees who wander to Guanzhong flock to come, and the recruiting officer loudly announced at the scene that they only need 5,000 people, and those who meet the conditions will be on a first-come, first-served basis, and there will be no chance if it is late.

One person served as a soldier, the whole family was naked, ten acres of good water watered land, and three years of tax exemption, and immediately issued a full set of quilts when he entered the barracks, when it was winter, all the clothes were issued thick, and the feathers were sturdy, much warmer than the clothes on the refugees.

The recruits put on new clothes, the young men are all vigorous and happy, the melee of the feudal kings in the past few years and the current major battles in Guanzhong, resulting in a large number of displaced people, flocking to the people, only five thousand are selected, and they can be selected, which shows that they are all good guys who are one in ten, and they can't help but be proud.

The recruits entered the camp one after another, and what awaited them was a sumptuous feast, dumplings filled with pork, cabbage and tofu, served in huge basins, and enough! There were garlic cloves in the bowl, vinegar in the saucer, and a large bowl for each person, and they could eat as much as they wanted.

White-flour dumplings filled with vegetables and meat, that is a good thing to eat during the New Year, as the saying goes, it is good to lie down, it is delicious but dumplings, just smelling the dumplings, the saliva of these recruits is like a waterfall, they lined up under the command of the head army to receive the sea bowl and chopsticks, full of dumplings and squatted on the ground to eat.

For a while, it was all the loud snapping of lips and lips, mixed with choking sounds and burps, knowing that the recruits were eating, and not knowing that they thought it was a pigsty.

This is eaten violently, eating in the dark, after half an hour, the recruits came out with shy stomachs, eight out of ten are burping, when the soldiers eat food can actually eat dumplings, if you let the partners in the family who did not become soldiers know, they will not envy to death.

The well-fed recruits walked along the school field three times under the leadership of the commander, digested and digested the food before returning to the barracks to rest.

Before the recruits finished admiring, something even more surprising came, the kind-eyed little flags called hot foot-washing water and asked them to wash their feet, and the recruits were moved to tears.

That night, every recruit slept with a smile on his face.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoming was appointed to the two Shangshu to recruit recruits and receive preferential treatment, several families scoffed after hearing about it.

"There are 200,000 armor warriors from the king of the East China Sea in the north, as well as five elite horsemen of the Huns, and the new king of Qi also has 100,000 horses in his hands, even the king of Changsha, the king of Chengdu, who occupies Chang'an, has more than 100,000 elite foot soldiers in his hands, what is the use of the regent recruiting these 5,000 people?"

"That's right, I don't rely on the strength of our family, but I let the Hu people garrison Luoyang, causing trouble in the national capital, bloody everywhere, bloody everywhere!"

"Hmph, you don't need others to attack, just a military salary, I bet that the treasury will be eaten up in less than half a year, a bunch of rough billets actually give 2 taels of silver a month, and big fish and meat, I think it's really crazy. ”

——

The news of the family's discussion also reached Sima Shu, who was worried and asked Zhang Ziming if it was really effective.

Zhang Xiaoming patted his chest and promised that it only took one month, not only the huge expenses could be satisfied, but also the treasury could be filled, provided that His Highness must fully support him during this period of time, and he could not change his course because of rumors.

Sima Shu thought about it, a month is not a long time, nodded and agreed, "Lone gives Zhang Qing two months to see the real effect." ”

Over there, Liu Kun also found Yang Pingfan, "Taishi, in recent days, our army has patrolled the city scouts and caught a lot of fine works that slipped out of the city, and after the torture, I found that they were all spies sent by the big families in the city to contact the vassal kings in various places, you see......"

Yang Pingfan has been named a Taishi, he waved his hand, "It's okay, they can go if they want to, don't kill those fine works, just lock them up first, relax a little, the family will send spies again, no need to intercept them, let them go." ”

Sima Yun next to him was stunned when he heard this, "Why did the Taishi say this, this king thinks that he should use this as a reason to first settle the inside and sweep the city of Luoyang first." ”

"King Huainan thinks, why did Zhang Bin and I go to the family to pay for our lives, and they all agreed?"

Sima Yun fell into deep thought, looked at Zhang Ze who was patrolling back and forth in the courtyard, and became puzzled, Zhang Ze was going to go to the camp to fight for their lives, but they didn't think that Yang Pingfan and Zhang Bin, I don't know what means they used, they actually got a whole car of gold and silver treasures and sent them to the camp, Shi Hu originally served Yang Pingfan, and when he saw so many treasures, his tone was also relieved, which saved Zhang Ze and their lives.

"The world is bustling, all they ask for is a sharp word, they are willing to pay, indicating that they still have some expectations for the regent in their hearts, contacting foreign vassal kings, but it is a two-headed bet, the family is the foundation of the Great Jin, and it cannot be easily moved, if we want them to support us, we have to come up with chips that make them firm in their determination. ”

——

The recruits recruited from the homeless people were trained for three days, which was nothing more than some queue training, which was simple and boring, but the recruits were still happy, and it was better to walk on the school field than to starve outside.

Zhang Xiaoming took a few young officers and walked around the new barracks, specially picking out some articulate recruits, letting them out of the city, and going to the homeless people to preach the benefits of being a soldier.

They are all local people, the words that come out of their mouths are better than the proclamation stamped with the official seal, such a propaganda is amazing, wearing warm clothes and eating dumplings all day long, this is simply the days of the gods, the villagers are trying their best to join the army by relying on the relationship, even for the war and turmoil, the family is a little thin Tian Yin people can not bear it, and they have come to the recruitment flag.

The so-called recruitment of only 5,000 soldiers is just Zhang Xiaoming's strategy to make him hungry, in the era of cold weapons, if you want to fight the world, the more soldiers the better.

This marketing tactics moved from a mobile phone manufacturer in later generations, soon received miraculous results, more people came to sign up for the army, the regent learned that he made an exception to recruit another 5,000 people, but the conditions are higher than before, requiring to be able to read, can write their own names, the results are better than expected, many recruits can not only write their names, but also read a few verses of poetry.

The 5,000 posts are just a pretense, in fact, Zhang Xiaoming has quietly expanded by nearly 20,000 people, counting the original leftovers, the regent already has nearly 70,000 horses in his hands, fortunately, the Luoyang arsenal was not looted when the city was broken, and the armor and weapons inside are there, but it can also support 70,000 horses.

The recruitment is over, and the next step is the training, the amiable faces of the colonels disappeared, Liu Kun sent the training colonels, all of them are fierce and vicious, and the recruits will be called up from the warm quilt to go out of practice before dawn every day, and the whip will be drawn to the body as soon as it is slow.

Wearing a cold iron helmet, holding a heavy spear and a big knife, practicing in the ice and snow, climbing the ice and lying in the snow, but no one complained, the regent did not force people to be soldiers, and those who couldn't stand the pain and wanted to go home put down their weapons and leave, and there were a lot of people waiting outside to come in to fill the gap, and no one wanted to give up this life when they thought of going back to starvation.

Zhang Xiaoming fully exerted his ability as a 21st century time-traveling otaku and formulated a detailed development plan to hand over to the rest of the time-traveling group.

Because Sima Shu proclaimed himself regent, the name of Prince Yang Pingfan's horse washing was gone, in addition to the title of Taishi, he also temporarily served as the head of the new army, in Sima Shu's eyes, the immortal served as the head of the new army, maybe he could bring out a heavenly soldier.

Li Lan held the position of the imperial physician, but she did not stay in the palace and fight with a group of white-bearded imperial physicians, but directly in the city, with hundreds of Xianbei and Xiongnu women who had been trained by her, to set up a pharmaceutical factory and systematically produce all kinds of common first-aid medicines on a large scale.
