After the extermination of the three villages, everything was back on track, and Li Yun sent people to garrison the three cottages as usual, but in this way, the forces of the Vermilion Bird Army were dispersed, and it seemed that it was imperative to replenish fresh blood. So he immediately instructed Hou San to transfer the personnel and materials stranded in Heimuzhuang back to the mountain as soon as possible.

Without the threat of those three cottages, Song Dacheng's transfer task was much easier. And in the name of those farms, Song Dacheng recruited many homeless people and poor peasant children, and continuously delivered a large number of fresh blood to the Vermilion Bird Army. At the same time, the four cottages under the control of the Vermilion Bird Army are also recruiting troops and horses to absorb homeless people and masters of the rivers and lakes.

However, although the Suzaku Army was eager to expand the army, Li Yun was very strict in controlling the recruitment of troops, because the army in the feudal era had a bad habit, that is, soldiers only knew the general and did not know the emperor.

The military system of the feudal era resembled a special feudal system, in which soldiers were loyal only to the generals, and the generals were loyal to the emperor. Because of the low literacy rate in the feudal era, ordinary people did not have such a high consciousness, and they joined the army more just to eat or fight for a future for themselves, and they did not have the noble feelings of their family and country at all. Moreover, the general holds great power and uses the clan as a bond, and inserts his own clan and confidants into the army. In this way, the rank and file soldiers were not loyal to the emperor at all, and only recognized the person who directly led them to pay them.

This is why in ancient times, when a general rebelled, his soldiers would also rebel with him, and Li Yun would never allow this kind of thing to happen.

As a modern person, although Li Yun does not have such a high level of wisdom to come up with a wonderful solution, he can use history as a mirror and Chinese sages as teachers. In the last century, when China was in turmoil and invaded by foreign invaders, Grandpa Tai controlled the whole army as a political commissar and determined his absolute control over the army. And the bald man served as the principal himself, and cultivated a team of henchmen who were loyal to him, and both of them stood on the cusp of the times.

Since there is the sage Zhuyu in front, then why should Li Yun bother with it, wouldn't it be good to copy it directly! Therefore, Li Yun not only set up the Political Department, laid the political work department to the grassroots level, but also personally served as the principal to train all kinds of talents. He served not only as the principal of the military school that had already been established, but also as the liberal arts and engineering colleges that were still being established.

At the same time, Li Yun recently set up the Ministry of Military Affairs, which brought under the Ministry of Military Affairs all rights except for commanding troops and fighting wars.

At present, the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs is Xu Tianhua, and the departments under his jurisdiction include the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Political Department, the General Staff Department, the Logistics and Equipment Department, and other first-level institutions, as well as second-level institutions such as the Recruit Training Department, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Investigation and Audit Office.

As a matter of fact, at present, the Ministry of Military Affairs is still just an empty shelf, and most of its personnel are students in military schools, and the quality and ability of these people are relatively poor, and the only thing worthy of affirmation is probably loyalty.

However, Li Yun still used these people to build the framework of these functional departments, because then again, no matter how bad it is, it is better than nothing. Even if these people's ability is poor, after a period of training, they can at least complete some basic functions and tasks in accordance with the various rules and regulations promulgated by Li Yun.

That's right! Li Yun never expected these people to do anything big, and he relied more on the various rules and regulations formulated with reference to modern concepts. As long as they follow the rules and regulations, even if they make mistakes, they will not deviate from the general direction. Therefore, their existence is more of a framework support, and when the Vermilion Bird Army becomes strong in the future, there will be countless outstanding talents to join in, and this framework will ensure that the Ministry of Military Affairs is always under Li Yun's own control.

The Recruit Training Department is a second-level organization under the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Li Yun stipulates that in the Suzaku Army, only the Recruit Training Department has the authority to recruit and train recruits. All recruits are recruited and trained by the Recruit Training Division, and then distributed by the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Therefore, although the four cottages are recruiting, they are only borrowed by the Recruit Training Department, and they have no right to interfere in recruitment.

In the evening, the celebration dinner was held on time, and now the economic situation of the Suzaku Army is gradually improving, so it is also a lot more generous, although the wine is limited, but the meat is open and edible. However, now all kinds of materials are sufficient, Yu Deshui has given full play to his skills, and all kinds of delicacies have made everyone extremely satisfied, and even many people in Linquan Village have packed and taken them away, so that their families can taste them.

But there was one person missing from this lively celebration banquet, and this person was Hou San, because he had a more important task to do at this time, that is, to receive the personnel and materials of Heimuzhuang.

After the war was decided, Hou San notified Yang Feng that the handover of personnel and materials continued. However, because of the huge amount of personnel and materials handed over this time, Hou San did not dare to be negligent. So he started to prepare very early, not only did he go to pick up in person, but he also made a light around the handover site, just to ensure that the handover was foolproof.

"Captain, the spies have reported that everything is normal around and there is nothing out of the ordinary!"

Hearing this, Hou San nodded, and then ordered: "Detective!" ”

"No!"

And just when Hou San was waiting for the answer, Yang Feng was also ready to go.

"Brother Yang is ready, ready to go!" Huang Dashan in Kuroki Village immediately reported back after an inspection.

I saw Yang Feng look up at the sky, and felt that the time was almost up, so he ordered: "Everyone set off immediately!" ”

"No!"

With Yang Feng's order, the convoy drove out of Heimuzhuang in turn and marched towards Canglan Mountain. And the convoy of dozens of rhinoceros beasts, as well as the guards and strong men who followed them, made this convoy look unusually bloated and large.

"Sister Jingxue, where are we going?" Hua Yurou looked at the gradually taller trees and the desolate wildness, and couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.

"Yes, Sister Jingxue, we seem to be deviating from the main road and walking into the mountains, what's going on?" Xia Qing'er was also puzzled, she was selected by Song Dacheng to be sent to the mountain, these girls were naturally extremely intelligent, so they quickly discovered the abnormality.

And Mu Jingxue hesitated for a moment, took Xia Qing'er and Hua Yurou's hands and said, "Qing'er Yurou will wait for a while, no matter where you go, don't panic and understand!" ”

"Hmmm! Well! ”

Hua Umbrella and Xia Qing'er immediately nodded when they heard this, and then Hua Yurou asked worriedly, "Sister Jingxue, have you found anything?" ”

Mu Jingxue shook her head and said, "No, but if we act rashly, something bad may happen!" ”

As soon as Mu Jingxue's voice fell, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became dull.

Someone in the convoy suddenly shouted, "Where are you going to take me?" I'm not going! I want to go home! I want to go home! ”

It turned out that as they went deeper and deeper into Canglan Mountain, the people in the convoy also began to become anxious. Because Canglan Mountain has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery, the savage and warlike Yueshan tribes, the dangerous and brutal mountain bandits and grass cowards, and the fierce and bloodthirsty xenomorphic brutes, in short, this is not a friendly place for ordinary people.

"I'm going home! I want to go home! ”

I saw that the man rushed out of the convoy with a shout, and ran back with a smoke, but Yang Feng had already taken precautions against this, so he glanced at it contemptuously and ignored it at all.

The fleeing strong man had only run less than a hundred paces before he was captured by the accompanying guards, and at the same time, his arms were in a strange twisted state as the price of escape.

"Ah......h My arm! My arm! ”

After being captured, the strong man lay on the ground and wailed miserably, while the other strong men couldn't help but have a trace of fear in their eyes when they saw this scene.

With the large number of people in this transfer and all kinds of materials, it is naturally impossible to let everyone take the car, so Yang Feng only arranged those important people in the car. Like the old craftsmen and those young girls, as for the ordinary craftsmen and the recruited homeless strong men, they can only follow on foot.

Yang Feng rode around the fleeing strong man for a while, then looked at the convoy and said, "You all listen to this is the end of the escape!" Also, you all have collected the settling-in fee, you are our people, and if you take the money, you want to run the world, but there is no such cheap thing! You all remember it for me! If anyone is running in the future, I won't be as polite as this time! ”

The people in the convoy couldn't help but be silent for a while when they heard this, and then Yang Feng ordered: "Come and treat his injuries!" ”

"No!"

Then the strong man was carried away, and the convoy went on, and with this demonstration the rest of the journey was much smoother, and no one dared to try to escape.

When he arrived at the pick-up location, Yang Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although there were no accidents along the way, but Yang Feng was always a little worried. Because there are too many people in the transfer, if there is any accident or personnel riot, it is difficult to control the situation with his manpower, but fortunately he arrived safely and smoothly all the way.

"Stop!"

After ordering the convoy to stop, Yang Feng rode his horse to the place where the joint was located, and shouted in a low voice: "The king of heaven covers the tiger!" ”

Then a soft sentence came from the grass under his feet: "Pagoda Town River Demon!" ”

Then a man lurking in the grass crawled out, and when he got up, he asked, "Is it Brother Yang?" ”

"Well, Captain-Waiting! Why didn't you see him? Yang Feng nodded back.

"Don't worry, Brother Yang, Captain Hou knows that this time is very important, so he brought heavy troops to respond." After finishing speaking, the man immediately took out two flags, one black and one red, from his arms, and sent a signal to the distance.

As the signal was issued, Hou San appeared with a large group of people.

"Brother Yang has worked hard all the way!" Hou Sanyi came over and said hello.

And Yang Feng also arched his hand back: "It's all thanks to the eldest brother, Captain Hou, let's hurry up and hand it over, for these people and materials, I haven't slept well for several days." ”

"Haha......"

Hou San couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I know you have worked hard, don't worry, I will ask the eldest brother for credit." ”

After saying that, Hou Sanyi waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to receive, because the action of receiving materials has been carried out many times, and Hou Sanyi and the others are quite skilled. It's just that this time the volume is a bit large and there are so many people, so it took a lot of time.
