"How are you going to house so many hungry prisoners?"

Dong Pan looked at the rows of shacks built at the foot of the mountain, which were quite neat, and was very curious about how Chen Hai would arrange these hungry prisoners. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first batch of three or five thousand hungry prisoners who were transferred were in slightly better condition, and the vast majority of the others were scrawny. These hungry prisoners have been trapped in the mountains for more than half a year, and the essence of life has been fundamentally lost, even if they invest more medicinal food to nourish, it is impossible to completely make up for it, and the vast majority of people are unlikely to live past the age of forty or fifty, let alone be trained to become a tiger and wolf.

It was still strange that Chen Hai was willing to accept a hungry prisoner who was regarded as a burden by other generals.

Chen Hai smiled slightly, and in front of Dong Pan, Dong Ning and others, he just said that killing was not his intention.

On the one hand, it is unbearable, and more importantly, Juquanling has no legitimate reason to recruit an additional forty or fifty thousand elites from Tongbei Mansion for his own use.

Even if Wang Ying mentioned that Wen Boyuan's side was completely indulgent, and even helped Juquanling withstand the pressure from the outside world, so that Chen Hai could recruit forty or fifty thousand elites from Tongbei Mansion, but these forty or fifty thousand elites all had a strong farming and clan mentality, and in a short period of time, they could either be used to train private soldiers, or they could only be used to cultivate the fields and become self-cultivators or hired farmers controlled by Juquanling, and these two things were not what Chen Hai wanted to do at this time.

At this time, Juquanling should not say that it could not afford to support forty or fifty thousand elite troops, even if it could afford it, at this time, there were many strong pans, and Juquanling exposed unnecessary ambitions, which was completely a way to die; at this time, there were many mountains around Juquanling and little land, and there were not many people who could not accommodate the cultivation of the fields.

Most of them don't want to have a chance to recover in their lives, but Chen Hai wants to develop Juquanling into a large foundry with armor, weapons, and puppets, and these hungry prisoners can provide the necessary and sufficient labor.

These hungry prisoners were all soldiers of the Wandering People's Army before, whether they had received a certain amount of training before, or they were near death and numb after being abandoned in Yehuling, they were destined to be much more obedient than the recruited people.

Chen Hai knew from the beginning that he wanted to create the kind of powerful chariot and truly powerful war puppet that he had envisioned and could charge into battle in the bloody battlefield of Rakshasa could never be accomplished by a casting place with a scale of three or five hundred people and less than ten craftsmen in the Spirit Restoration Realm.

In the past six months, Chen Hai has successively relocated three to four thousand people from the Cao, Ding and other clans to Juquanling, but he has abandoned the traditional practice of arranging people into households and clan-based management, and has completely incorporated them into the factory-based management.

The so-called workshop does not refer only to the foundry factory.

In addition to the most core foundry in Juquanling, Chen Hai also set up shipbuilding workshops, mines, quarrying factories, logging workshops, tuntian farms, fishing and hunting teams, construction teams, merchant fleets, etc.

Chen Hai borrowed from the management methods of large state-owned factories to form a new and complete production system in Juquanling, so that his plan could be carried out with as little interference from the outside world as possible.

For this reason, Chen Hai only retained more than 100 elite guards in the Huwei Battalion, and the other more than 100 descendants were arranged to be in charge of the affairs of each workshop......

The new production system has been largely formed, and now we are waiting for batches of prisoners of war to be recuperated one after another, and we will promptly arrange for them to replenish the shortage of manpower in various construction teams, fishing and hunting teams, tuntian camps, and various mines, lumber yards, and quarries.

Although the Huwei battalion only retains more than 100 elites, all factories will set up a militia team ranging from 30 to 50 or 1,200 people to ensure that the necessary training will not be slackened; in particular, the hunting and fishing team, in the deep mountains west of Juquan Lake and Juquanling, usually has to face fierce demon beasts, and the recruits are all selected and brave, and the equipment is also extremely sophisticated, which is completely the reserve combat power of the Huwei battalion, which can be transferred to the battlefield at any time, but at this time, it is not afraid that a small force will dare to invade Juquanling.

And the basic boxing techniques, palm techniques, footwork, leg techniques, etc., Chen Hai will also teach them step by step through many descendants.

Chen Hai would not tell Dong Pan his whole plan; even if he did, they might not be able to understand it, and even if everything was laid out in front of their eyes, they would not be able to guess what Chen Hai was going to do; even if they explained it to them, they might not think that Chen Hai's approach would be successful; after all, everything that was being done in Juquanling was too far from the habitual thinking of the people of the world.

***********************

Half a month later, the million-strong Jiyang Liumin Army went east and entered the territory of Heyang County.

Although the Black Turban Army also suffered heavy casualties, at this time, it replenished the elite soldiers from other wandering armies, and even expanded its strength to 150,000 in a short period of time, and after the war, it was able to get a large number of armor, battle drives, war equipment, and chariots abandoned by the Tiger Ben Army in the Yellow Elk Plain, and the equipment was quickly updated. Purely in terms of the combat power of the soldiers, the black turban soldiers at this time were no longer under the same number of Tiger Ben Army and the elite of the various sect lords.

In addition to the 150,000 elites of the Black Turban Army, the other homeless soldiers who called themselves the Black Yan Army recruited volunteers scattered all over the country, and they also rapidly expanded to one million.

Jiyang County has been slaughtered and destroyed several times, and it has been completely disabled, and the local clans no longer have the strength to resist the exile army, either surrender or be slaughtered and exterminated, and the situation in Jiyang County was quickly controlled by the exile army.

However, because Jiyang County has been completely disabled, the agricultural production system has been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to recover in a short time, and the local grain reserves are almost exhausted, and it is impossible for the more than one million displaced people to stay in Jiyang County for a long time to recuperate.

There is the powerful Miao clan in the north, the Wusheng Pass in the south, and the Heiyan army entering Heyang in the east, it is not unimaginable, but Yanjing is stormy, although the Taiwei Mansion has passed the edict to the world and ordered the counties to aid Heyang, but who will send troops at this time?

Heyang County, how can it resist the million-strong Black Yan Army?

Although there was an elite Tiger Army that suppressed the civil unrest in Heyang County before, in the face of the fierce Black Yan Army, where did the 30,000 Tiger Army generals dare to intercept it head-on?

The 30,000 Tiger Ben army retreated south in a hurry, since there was no sect lord as strong as the Dong clan in Heyang, and there was no sect as strong as the Taiwei Sect, where would the local military garrison be the opponent of the Heiyan army, which was extremely strong?

In less than half a month, Heyang had already lost hundreds of cities, large and small, and the small and medium-sized clans and sects in the local area either fled or surrendered, and then the Black Yan Army quickly advanced to Yanmen County in the north.

The 50,000 tiger troops who had been quelling the rebellion in Yanmen County were caught off guard, and were besieged in the city of Yandu by a legion of exiles whose strength had increased to nearly 2 million in a short period of time, like a swarm of locusts, and it was difficult to fly.

The 50,000 Tiger Ben Army and 200,000 local soldiers in Yanmen held out for 20 days, and the Void Spirit Sword Sect, the first sect in Yanmen County that had been established according to Yanxing Mountain for thousands of years, chose to rebel and surrender to the Black Yan Army at the same time, and the world was shocked for a while!

At this time, the exile army in other counties, which was suppressed by the local clan lords and the Huben army, jumped out of the encirclement one after another and quickly moved to Heyang and Yanmen, making the exile army gathered in Heyang, Yanmen, Jiyang and other counties stronger day by day.

The Miao clan, a strong feudal clan with millions of troops in the border counties such as Chiyun in the northern region, sent an envoy to Beijing at this time to spread the news that the demon barbarian tribes gathered on the coast of the Hanhai Sea were also ready to move at this time, and there were signs of gathering demon soldiers, if the empire could not send troops in time to suppress the rebellion of the three counties, the Great Yan Empire could be overturned......

No one thought that the Great Yan Empire, which had been established for thousands of years and was deeply rooted, would suddenly fall into a precarious situation and would overturn at any time, and no one thought that the reversal of the situation would be so easy and unprepared.

It was also the sudden rise of the powerful enemy of the Black Yan Army, so that the confrontation between the crown prince Ying Dan and the Yitian Emperor and the Ying Wang Ying Shu did not last long.

The eight clans of Jingjun, including the Ning clan, knew in their hearts that if the 100,000 Tiger Ben army led by the crown prince Yingdan stationed in the Qinglongyu camp and the Xiyuan army led by the nineteen kings fought and were defeated, no one would be able to stop the Black Swallow Scarf from entering Gyeonggi in a short time.

At that time, several strong clans in the border county will still be able to protect themselves, but the eight clans of the capital county will have no other choice but to be thieves.

It is not in the interests of all the clans to break the net, compromise when it should be compromised, and make peace when it should be reconciled, at this time, the bigwigs of the eight clans of Jingjun lurking underwater saw that the table was about to be completely overturned, and they no longer dared to continue to slack off.

The first imperial decree since the crown prince Yingdan took power, and finally one morning in late October of the seventy-fourth year of Emperor Yitian, he successfully issued an edict from Yanran Palace to the world, and all counties were no longer only the edict of the Taiwei Mansion.

The nineteenth son of Emperor Feng Yitian was appointed as the deputy envoy of Tianshu, the commander of the guard, the general of the Zhuguo State and the lieutenant general of the Xiyuan Army, who was in charge of the Xiyuan Army, taking over the defense of Gyeonggi and Wusheng and Qintong, and was responsible for the war against Jiyang County in the north out of Wusheng Pass......

From then on, Gyeonggi's defense and military power fell into the hands of the British king and the Tu family.

In order to avoid the situation of chickens flying and eggs fighting, the two sides made necessary peace and compromise, and the prince Yingdan and the Ning family naturally would not be punished too severely.

Although Ying Dan resigned as a lieutenant, he still held the position of the crown prince and the general of the Zhuguo State and the lieutenant general of the Tiger Army, and held the military power of the Tiger Army, but because of this, he also had to bear the burden of going out of Beijing to suppress the Black Yan Army. When the emperor's decree was transmitted to Tongbei Mansion, the crown prince Yingdan led 120,000 tiger troops from the Qinglongyu camp to the east as the governor of the soldiers and horses of the counties......

After the crown prince won Dandong's advance, nearly 100,000 tiger troops in the area east of Gyeonggi would return to his banner, and at the same time, the local resistance troops in Hayang, Yanmen and other counties, as well as the reinforcements requisitioned from the counties, would obey his control.

At this time, the crown prince Ying Dan still held the heaviest military power in the Dayan Empire.
