Chapter 109: Recruitment

At this important stage of the development of the Fu Han Army, Ning Yu soaked in the counties below Yunyang Mansion for ten full days, during which he visited almost every township and town, and also chatted with many peasants, from farming time to harvest, from livestock to children, there was nothing he did not talk about, and there was nothing he did not understand.

Even the 500 guard battalions that had been following Ning Yu were organized into ten task forces by Ning Yu, and went deep into the nearby villages and towns, from Yunxi to Zhushan, Fangxian, and then to Zhuxi and Baokang, on the one hand, vigorously propagating some of the current policies of the Fu Han Army, and on the other hand, calling on the young and strong people to go out of the fields and join the Fu Han Army.

When Guo Chong saw Ning Yu again, he was also taken aback by Ning Yu's appearance, not to mention the wind and dust, even his clothes were changed to coarse cloth, and then he looked at the guard battalion that had followed Ning Yu with arrogance, but now he was also tired, with bloodshot eyes.

After Ning Yu returned to Yunxian, he threw Guo Chong a thick picture album without saying a word, and fell down in Guo Chong's room where he had already respected and humbled, and began to sleep soundly.

Guo Chong looked strange, looking at the atlas in his hand, which recorded what Ning Yu saw and heard in Yunyang County, and what was even more amazing was that he also put forward relevant suggestions for each place, and in detail, these suggestions were also quite feasible. But if this atlas is from a local who lives in Yunyang all the year round, even if it is just a country official, he believes it, but in fact, it is this young master in his opinion who has completed this feat.

"Major General, how long has it been since you had a good rest?" Guo Chong asked Ning Si cautiously, his eyes unconsciously filled with a bit of admiration, this is really not an ordinary young man.

A wry smile appeared on Ning Si's dark face, he personally followed Ning Yu to visit these five counties, almost every day he was running around the country, and he also fought at night with lights, watching Ning Yu record what he saw and heard during the day, in this high-intensity state, Ning Yu accumulated such a thick booklet, so he told Guo Chong all this, and finally sighed: "The young master didn't bring any helpers this time, so he was so tired." ”

Guo Chong couldn't help but be ashamed after hearing this, he bowed deeply to Ning Yu in the room, and then while flipping through the atlas brought by Ning Yu, he waited for Ning Yu to wake up, and when he saw the highlights in the album, he applauded loudly, and his reverence for this young general was even deeper.

It wasn't until the moon was bright and the stars were scarce that Ning Yu staggered out of the room, but after so many days of running, he was even more tired than fighting before, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired.

Yunyang is so poor! It's too hard! This place can become a difficult point of governance since the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there are its own reasons, although today's Ningyu is confident that he can lead the development of Yunyang, but the effort required to do so is naturally self-evident.

When Guo Chong saw Ning Yu wake up, he picked up the album with a solemn expression and came to Ning Yu and bowed deeply.

"The young general is really a rare talent in the world! With this book, I Guo Chong admired it so much that I threw myself to the ground, and asked the major general to allow me to transcribe it, thinking that it was a treasure book for governing Yunyang, and that Yunyang would be peaceful. ”

Ning Yu hurriedly helped Guo Chong up, and said with a smile: "Guo Fuzun is really polite, this atlas was drafted temporarily, the content has not been screened, and many things still need Guo Fuzun to do it himself, in order to better govern Yunyang, among which Guo Fuzun needs to pay a lot of hard work." ”

These words are Ning Yu's conscience, many of the decrees in this atlas cannot be achieved simply, and it requires a prefect with a strong wrist, coupled with ten thousand supports, to complete it little by little. The effort and sacrifice required is anything but ordinary.

Guo Chong burst into tears at this time, and he didn't care about wiping it, but just said in a low voice: "Since the establishment of my Yunyang mansion, I have always been regarded as a trouble and a source of trouble, but has anyone who really cares for the people come here to take a look?" It's all laissez-faire, which really breaks the hearts of Yunyang people. ”

"Now that the Fu Han Army has accepted my Yunyang for only one month, the young general has come here to investigate for ten days, and he can still summarize so many good policies, which is really my blessing in Yunyang. Please also rest assured that my Xunyang people are poor or bitter, but I know that it is good or bad, and this matter of going to the battlefield, my Yunyang children are naturally duty-bound! ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Ning Yu stayed in Xunyang counties for ten days and wrote a picture album of Xunyang, and Guo Chong only took three days to help Ning Yu recruit a full 20,000 young men into the army.

When Ning Yu returned to Wuchang with 20,000 people, he learned that the Fuhan Government University and the Fuhan Military Lecture Hall had been prepared to lay the foundation, and the original Hubei Gun Factory and Hanyang Iron Works were under construction.

In the construction of the project, according to Ning Zhongjing's suggestion, the method of part-time work and half-relief was adopted, and a large number of displaced people were absorbed, and in addition to providing food and drink every day, ten large copper plates were also given money, although this money was not much, but it also allowed many victims to live, so the participants were very enthusiastic.

The construction of the Fuhan University of Government and the Fuhan Military Lecture Hall itself is not large, but it is divided into two areas in the surrounding wasteland outside Wuchang City, using the cement invented by Ning Yu, several three-story mud brick buildings have been built, using bamboo as the bones, plus cement to solidify, due to the use of this new construction technology, so the progress of the project is very rapid, and several open spaces are also divided, which are specially used for student sports and some important celebrations.

Until mid-March, Ning Yu conducted intensive training for 10 days of the 20,000 new troops, and reorganized them with the original army.

In the process of reorganization, Ningyu also eliminated some of the old, weak, sick and disabled and turned them into urban defense battalions, while the three regular divisions and the three garrison divisions of the Fuhan Army also achieved full strength, and the strength of the army officially reached the scale of 45,000 people. After the reorganization of the regular army was completed, the remaining 20,000 people were also organized into ten city defense regiments and stationed in various provinces in Hubei.

In April, when the Fu Han army was reorganizing and fighting, the Qing army was not to be outdone, and the green battalions of the northern and southern provinces were assembling, preparing to launch a shocking blow to the Fu Han army, but at this stage, a message came that shook the world.

That is, the White Lotus Sect in Henan raised troops at this time!
