Zhao'an! Veteran Zou Zhang made a loud noise.

He was originally on the front line of Linzi to resist Cheng Siwei's offensive, although Cheng Siwei was taught by him, but one was old, not energetic, and all the troops he led were improvised patchwork, and the other was young and strong, and the blue was better than the blue, the two were against each other, Zou Zhang was just struggling to support, winning less and losing more, he was able to rush back to Linzi at this time, and thanks to the sudden rise of the Red Turban Army in Gaotang, the war between the two sides showed a subtle situation, and Cheng Siwei's offensive stalled.

The attention of both sides at this time shifted to the direction of Gaotang. Whoever Gaotang's Red Turban Army falls to will have the upper hand in this civil war.

"Zhao'an, he has Zhao'an for free, why can't we?" Zou Zhang stood up and said, "What's more, we still have a righteous name that the second son does not have. The second prince abandoned our army last year, was eager to return to China to seize power, and provoked a civil war in the country, I thought that the people would spurn, whether it was Gao Tang or Jimo, it was just silence in front of his soldiers, loyal and brave people like Chen Dai have not yielded to him so far, and the Red Turban Army is also my people, I believe that there will be loyal and righteous people who will be loyal to the court, as long as we arrive in Gaotang with the imperial court envoys, I believe that the Red Turban Army will choose our side."

"Where do these bandits have any loyalty?" Tian Yuanyuan smiled bitterly.

"In addition to righteousness, of course there must be advantage!" Zou Zhang said: "The eldest prince, why not be stingy with rewards at this time, these are all false, and Gao Tang's return to the arms of the imperial court will definitely change the domestic offensive and defensive situation, and the defense is real. At that time, we have the three capitals of Gaotang, Pinglu, and Linzi, and the second prince is just trapped in Jimo, and the momentum of attacking security is transpositioned, and victory can be expected."

Tian Yuanyuan stood up, paced back and forth in the room, and finally raised his head after a while: "The old general is reasonable, at this time, he is stingy with the gift of the title, I will enter the palace immediately, and ask the king to crown this white or something Red Turban Army leader as a wait, just call Gao Tang Hou. Send an envoy to show solemnity."

"Childe is wise!" Everyone in the room answered in unison.

Just when Jimo and Linzi decided to start recruiting the Red Turban Army of Gaotang, the Red Turban Army in Gaotang began a vigorous sweeping operation, Gaotang City is the rear of Wang Pei's attack on Pinglu, where mountains of ordnance, grain and grass, the day the city was broken, because it fell too quickly, without waiting for Zhu Wei to make a response, Gao Tang had already changed hands, in fact, Zhu Wei never thought that Gao Tang would throw it away from his hands, and now these things are all cheap Red Turban Army.

The elated Red Turban Army began to work as hard porters, and every day there was an endless stream of wagons to transport these things back to Rao'an and Penglai Island, the two strongholds of the Red Turban Army.

Issuing notices to resettle the people, remanaging civil affairs, relocating displaced people, and sending displaced people back to their hometowns, these people's governance and people's livelihood work, ordinary bandits can't think of it, and can't do it when they think of it, there is naturally no zài here in the Red Turban Army, they have a large number of people from the Han Kingdom, and they easily arranged these things, and with great efficiency, they pacified the Gao Tang who had just experienced the war, and restored a peaceful life, except for the arrow holes on the city wall and those blackened walls, the city wind in the city, It's been cleaned as before. If you don't look closely, you basically can't find that this place has just experienced a life-and-death struggle not long ago.

Bai Yucheng doesn't care about civil affairs, these things, someone does them. The soft-boned Gao Tang stayed behind Wang Yan, and finally left his life, thanks to the staff officer Zhao Yi'an, in Zhao Yi'an's opinion, this Lord Wang Yan first descended to the second son, and then to the Red Turban Army, no matter where Tian Dagongzi or Tian Ergongzi is, there is no place for him, if he wants to live, he can only hold the thigh of the Red Turban Army, although in the eyes of this Lord Wang, the Red Turban Army is really not a thigh, but now for him, as long as it is a leg, he has to hug it. Such a person is easy to use, and he is afraid that he will be more attentive than his own people, because he knows very well that if he can't show his value in front of the new master, he is afraid that he will be abandoned immediately.

In fact, Zhao Yi'an's estimate is not wrong, the people who came from the Han Kingdom are some students who have just graduated from school, plus some low-level officials, because they are required to be familiar with the folk customs of the Qi State, this optional range is much smaller, these people have no problem doing specific things, but in terms of overall planning, they can't be on the table, and Wang Yan, the former stayer, after all, has been in the upper position for a long time, and it is most suitable for him to lead this group of novices.

Wang Yan did not live up to Zhao Yi'an's recommendation, and took these people to do a good job, and in a very short period of time, he made Gao Tang under the control of the Red Turban military restore his peace, but also made Bai Yucheng impressed.

This person is not a good character, but his ability to govern is not bad.

Bai Yucheng is now busy with one thing, expanding the army. At the beginning, there were tens of thousands of displaced people who followed him to Gaotang City, and 10,000 young people were selected from the scales and armed them, Bai Yucheng knew very well that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Gaotang, the first thing he had to show was force, and only when he showed strong muscles, the two neighbors did not dare to do anything wrong about him.

At this moment, the real strength of the Red Turban Army, in addition to the 5,000 core combat power of the Red Turban Army, is the 10,000 young men who have just been recruited, of course, it will take time for them to form combat effectiveness. However, Bai Yucheng is extremely optimistic about this, in his army, there are a large number of grassroots officers of the Han army, these Han army officers who have changed their names and disguised identities to enter the Red Turban Army will be the greatest guarantee for the combat ability of his troops.

At most half a year, on the land of Qilu, there will be an additional mighty division.

The 30,000 armed forces that Niu Fuchen found were actually just adding some local regiments to train the people, Bai Yucheng fully learned the experience of the Han State in local rule, and allowed the countryside to organize militia groups for self-defense, of course, the control of these militia groups must be in the hands of the Qilu Legion. These militia groups, the biggest role at the moment is to crack down on the rogue bandits, the war has just been extinguished, on the ground in Gaotang, there are countless routs, these people can't fight, but in order to harm the township, that is their forte, Gaotang is the base that Bai Yucheng used to pass through the entire Qi country, and he also expects that in the next year, the Qilu army will be self-sufficient, and there is no need to transport supplies from Liaoxi for thousands of miles, so naturally these guys can't be allowed to be dangerous in the township.

10,000 young men are stationed outside the city, the military training work is in full swing, those soldiers who have experienced the poison on Penglai Island, after a few battles, have changed from rookies to veterans, let them train these recruits is another task they received. These guys happily took office, not with a knife, but with an ash rod in each hand, which was learned from the tiger's head, and the qiē they endured on Penglai Island was naturally now originally given back to these recruits.

The training methods they used to scold on the island are now being used more vigorously on these recruits, and if the instructor scolds them, they will naturally not pull them down. The battles just gone through made these original recruits understand that what the instructor taught them with a whip turned out to be used to save their lives. Naturally, you won't leave your hands at this time.

What's more, Bai Yucheng also gave another guide to these training officers sent down, a review every ten days, and unqualified soldiers will be eliminated every day, and after a month, the training officers can train a company that meets the standards, then he is the company commander, he can train a battalion, then he is the battalion commander, with this goal, where will these trainers not work hard.

On the makeshift schoolyard outside the city, whips and scolding fly together, wailing and laughing together.

"Could it be that the training methods are too aggressive?" In the distance, several war horses stood side by side, Zhao Yi'an looked at the somewhat inhumane training methods on the school field with some concern, and said to Bai Yucheng: "Master Hou, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it!"

"This is not our homeland, there are strong enemies around, I can't afford to wait." Bai Yucheng shook his head and said, "I also know that this kind of training method will refine and abolish a lot of people, but those who can stay will inevitably become the division of tigers and wolves. Besides, these training methods are not so cruel, how my special forces team is trained, you must not have seen it, right?"

"Hou Ye's deeds, the villain naturally heard about it when he was in school, and many of your battle examples are now in the textbooks we are studying!" Zhao Yi'an said with a smile: "But Master Hou, when your soldiers were selected for the special brigade, they were already the elite of the army, but these people were just farmers and small traders not long ago. Aren't you worried about provoking a mutiny?"

"You're thinking too much!" Bai Yucheng smiled, "Now the Gaotang Dynasty is in ruins, what do you want, and the only food that can only fix the hearts of the army and the people is in my hands, as long as I take care of their full meals, no matter how hard they are, they will persevere, not to mention, my military salary of two taels of silver per month is sturdy and solid. They are not soldiers with me, where will they earn these two taels of silver?"

Zhao Yi'an made a sound in his throat, two taels of silver, in the Han country, the basic salary of an ordinary soldier in the regular army is one hundred taels of silver, which is not counting the reward after winning the battle, it is really compared to the soldiers of the Qilu Legion who are not as high as the militia in the Han country.

"I know what you're thinking?" Bai Yucheng laughed and said: "This can only be the case now, but I will give them a silver increase with the victory of the battle again and again, and when our Han State takes the Qi State, I guarantee that their salary and silver will not be worse than that of other legions, otherwise I will not be the commander for a long time."

"Master Hou is far-sighted!" Zhao Yi'an nodded admiringly. According to the report of the Supervision Yuan, since both sides want to recruit us, I am afraid that these two days will come, and Hou Ye will have to prepare."

"What is there to prepare!" Bai Yucheng shook his head disdainfully, "Isn't it just pretending to be a fierce and arrogant bandit, seeing that Qian is open-minded, as soon as he hears the high-ranking officials and Houlu, he will be happy, do you still have to prepare?" I'll wipe my face and come."

Listening to Bai Yucheng's words, Zhao Yi'an laughed. R1152
