Chapter 571: Eighty thousand
Where are there still people who want to talk when they are full, and they don't want to move when they are full, how can Li De make them comfortable, these people who have not eaten enough for a long time and want to return to normal just need to eat a few full meals.
Li De still gave them enough time, so after two days of rest, the spirits of these people came back, but when they heard that they themselves were treated as a deal, they were always very uncomfortable.
They are all soldiers, most of them are elderly, basically they have families and jobs, since they are not even allowed to be soldiers, their current wish is to leave Liaobei and return to their hometown.
But they also knew that it was really too difficult to leave, their 100,000 people were about the same number as the vanguards, but they really didn't have the courage to do so.
They are unwilling to put forward their own ideas, and they are helplessly called up when they come to the battlefield, and now they are very confused about where to go.
The two-day repair time passed quickly, and they were all waiting for something to be arranged, and it was the same wherever they went to the battlefield, focusing on how much reward they could get for their exploits.
Some people want to be promoted, some people want to get rich, and some people have no choice but to join, they have no choice, anyway, if they can survive, it's good, it's better not to fight, I'd rather be an ordinary person.
Just when they were thinking nonsense, the vanguard came and took them away directly, and the time registration for the past two days had been completed, and the efficiency of the statistical team of tens of thousands of people was not ordinarily high.
Then they waited for a decree, which can be said to be an edict issued by the military city, and the two who chose to be willing to be soldiers passed the assessment and could continue to eat military salaries and enjoy the benefits brought by the military city to the soldiers.
The second option is to allocate reclaimed land to be a farmer with peace of mind, and the treatment enjoyed is standard, and you can also bring your family to it, anyway, the decree is very clear, the more people in the family, the more land will be allocated, and the yield of the harvest will also increase.
How can such conditions not be impressed, just after the announcement of the decree, many people directly choose to allocate arable land, work in the military city in the first year to make money, and next year when they participate in land reclamation and autumn harvest, they can have a harvest.
A comfortable life was what they were looking forward to, and they wanted their families to come and have someone from the vanguard to take care of it, and the caravan they sent promised to take care of it.
As soon as these words were said, many people did not hesitate at all.
There are also 60,000 or 70,000 people with complicated ideas, some of them have real estate and land in their hometowns, and the key is that their family members are nearby, and if they migrate, they can't say it.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so it doesn't mean that the large area of land here can really attract people to settle down and start a business.
Most of the people who want to continue to be soldiers are young people, and they have a simple idea, the vanguard is a strong army, and if they can join, they will have a great chance of gaining military success.
The future is not a difficult thing, it may be very possible to add an official to a knighthood, young people just have ideas, but it is not easy to join, you need to pass the test and assessment.
No matter which way they choose to stay, they all have to make up their household registration, which means that 100,000 people have already been directly settled in the military city, and they are the people of the military city.
Things went smoothly for a few days, but for various reasons, some people were still unwilling to stay, so Li De did not force it, and dismissed the 20,000 people.
As for the food paid for them, in fact, Li De didn't care anymore, because of the 80,000 people who remained, three of them joined the vanguard after screening and elimination, and the remaining 50,000 people all became the people of Bingcheng.
At present, they have no arable land, and they have to work in the jobs provided by the military city to earn living expenses, especially the fertilizer factory and kiln workshop, and the daily income is very considerable.
With so many people joining, the business of the markets, restaurants, and vendors near the Bingcheng is very good every day, and the Bingcheng has food but a lot of ingredients are needed to cook, in addition to the soldiers going hunting, there is also the purchase of wild vegetables and fruits.
If there is demand, there will be a supplier, so the development of the military city has become rapid, so many people are busy with green work, money is circulating, working, selling and selling to make money, using the money to buy food, and then the military city uses this money to hire people, so the cycle is a good cycle.
With the participation of tens of thousands of people, the construction speed of the military city is faster, and in less than a month, the planned street shops near the military city have been formed, and the residences near Zhuangzi are under construction.
The resettlement work is now the main task of the military city.
Li De has become a large-scale construction site contractor, and the planning of the military city has begun the concept of not building a city wall, and the safest place behind the military city is a city without a city wall.
In areas where farmland is concentrated, enough houses are built according to the statistical data, and even the extra houses can be used for some things, such as setting up a medical war.
Now everyone has something to do, the entire fortress is already in operation, and the civil engineering works are no longer even enough to take care of the attack on Goryeo.
For more than a month, Li De and the others were very clear about the specific situation, with the food provided by the military city, the soldiers who landed in the battle could be regarded as having initially established a foothold, and successfully defended in the face of the enemy's repeated attacks.
But there were not only 100,000 people in front of them, but after the grain and grass were sufficient, two successive batches of soldiers and horses were transported, and now 150,000 people were gathered, which was enough for them to eat for a month.
Laihu'er let the 150,000 soldiers and horses turn the passive into the active, and took the initiative to attack the Goryeo city, and the success was very good, but the income of the small village could not meet the expenses of 150,000 people.
Just when they were about to run out of food, they had no choice but to regroup, and had to withdraw 50,000 soldiers and horses again after the arrival of the ship carrying the grain, but by this time the food was already in short supply.
Lai Hu'er couldn't retreat from the battle, so he could only grit his teeth and insist, fortunately, the Goryeo soldiers and horses were not sufficient, and 50,000 or 60,000 people against 100,000 people were never suitable for a head-on confrontation.
After a month of procrastination, the mission was well aware of the situation, and their task was not only to hand over to the vanguards, but also to supervise the soldiers and horses.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xuanli, the squire of the military department, had already sent a herald to send a letter back to Jiangling.
Now Emperor Yang of Sui's edict should be on his way back.
Emperor Yang of Sui received the news that 300,000 soldiers and horses had been fighting for a month, and they had already accompanied 100,000 people without any success.
He already knew about the affairs of Bingcheng, and he was helpless about it.
Long Yan's anger seems to have become his norm for the outcome of the battle, and it is not unusual to hear that the defeat is not at all, but the anger seems to be directed at Li De.
