The old bandits in Jiuji Mountain have not died for the time being, this is mainly because Qin Chuan repeatedly told them not to rush to the front with a brain fever when they were guarding the village, and let those villagers and homeless people take a top, which can not only preserve the elite but also train the villagers.

And everyone in Jiuji Mountain old bandits wears cotton armor, like Song Zhiting, there are also two pieces, although cotton armor and iron armor are worn to have really strong defense, but under normal circumstances, knives and guns can also resist.

There were quite a few injuries, most of them were minor, and the most serious one was the one injured by the explosion on the gatehouse, and the situation was not very optimistic.

The situation of the villagers and the displaced people was much more serious, with more than 210 dead and more than 30 seriously injured, most of whom were estimated to be unable to be saved, and the rest were slightly injured.

Even if the battle is won, everyone has to eat dry rice and broth, but there is still a tragic scene in Zhuangzi, the wailing of the wounded, the wailing of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and the heart-rending of the deceased relatives, intertwined, which is particularly harsh.

But a small number of people seemed very excited, especially those who followed Qin Chuan to chase them out, after they tasted the taste of war and victory, their psychology changed a lot, even if this battle that should have been lost turned into victory because of Hu Dawei's intervention.

It turns out that he can also pick up a knife and go to the battlefield, it turns out that those dog officers and soldiers who are fish and meat will also be afraid, and they will also be chased by themselves.

Qin Chuan walked around, wanting to say something, but after seeing the appearance of those people, he didn't say anything.

He only asked his men to take silver taels, and as he had said before, he gave them silver.

All the villagers who returned to the village were rewarded with five taels of silver each, and the villagers who died in the war were given two taels of silver to their families, and all the villagers were rewarded with one tael of silver each, and the war dead were given five taels of silver, and a total of more than 600 taels of silver were issued.

Those who were injured, no matter whether they could be cured well or not, whether they were crippled or not after being cured, Qin Chuan guaranteed to provide them with food and clothing.

After getting the silver, those villagers and homeless people settled down a little.

Qin Chuan began to organize people to clean up the battlefield, dig pits outside, strip off the clothes of the enemy's corpses and bury them, and collect the corpses of his own people first, and send people out to see if they can find enough planks to nail the coffin, and then they will all be buried on the mountain beam of the big fish head.

When his subordinates began to get busy, Qin Chuan went up to the gatehouse, looked at the distant land, and thought about what to do next.

Fan Yongdou shouldn't dare to come again, Bashan Tiger is no longer worried, the Du family will put it for the time being, transport food to them first, and he should also take some time to sort it out and prepare for the obscene development.

The focus of development was on farming and iron smelting, and there was enough money and food to feed a larger population and army.

The mine is a place to make money, and you have to expand your production and find another way to sell it.

Most of the iron produced by private mines in Shanxi was sold to the Mongolian tribes and Jiannu, because the profits were very objective, and because the iron in Guangdong, Fujian and other real estate in the south was of better quality than the iron in the north.

About this, Qin Chuan knows, the south has many mountains and forests, rich firewood resources, Guangdong and Fujian use charcoal for iron smelting, and the iron smelted has few impurities and is tightly combined, while the north mostly uses coal to make iron, and there are more impurities, which is naturally not as good as the southern iron.

Of course, Qinchuan will not be a traitor, since the Mongolian tribes in the north have become the lackeys of Jiannu, and they can't be sold in the south, they can only sell the west in large quantities and the surrounding areas in small quantities.

To the west are the Western Tumut Division, Turpan and Uszang, and these alone can exchange as much iron as they have with their cattle, sheep and horses.

As for farming...... Although Qin Chuan was born in the countryside in later generations, he had forgotten all about farming skills N years ago.

All he could do was to find a way to get an infinite number of arable cattle, build farm tools, build water conservancy, and get new grain seeds, and leave the rest to the farmer's uncle.

These things have to be done as soon as possible.

After borrowing a batch of grain from the villagers of Lou Fu, he now has more than 4,600 stone of grain and 6,000 taels of silver left.

The population of Mengjiazhuang and the mine is still about 1,008, and so many people have to eat nearly 20 stone of grain every day.

In addition to eating forage, the more than 500 war horses had to be fed some fine every day, and more during the war, and they had to eat four or five stones of grain every day.

He still has to recruit another batch of displaced people, and the consumption of grain will become larger and larger, and the more than 4,000 stone of grain can only be eaten until next spring at most.

Lou was annoyed with winter wheat, which could not be harvested until May and June, and there was a period of food shortage, so he had to go out and do a few more trades.

Bashanhu, the Du family, and other big families in Lanxian and Jingle were all targeted for robbery.

Among them, Bashan Tiger is to be eradicated in one fell swoop, including Guo Yan of Guandi Mountain and Ren Liang of Donghuluchuan, these two people can descend the best, and if they refuse to surrender, they must be pulled out, although Ren Liang is a good man worthy of Qin Chuan's admiration.

Lou annoys around, no one is allowed to occupy the mountain as the king, the so-called side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore?

So, Qin Chuan began to reorganize the army.

He first asked his subordinates to screen personnel, and in the first battle of Mengjiazhuang, all the villagers who were afraid of the enemy and cowardly were eliminated and sent back to the mine for mining, and he didn't have so much time to train these people to train their courage.

All the homeless people who dare to fight, and those who are not too old, are all classified as village warriors, not only eat well, but also pay 600 yuan per person per month, that is, about five yuan of silver.

This salary is not high, Qi Jiguang's Qi family's monthly salary is nine yuan, and the Ming army's monthly salary is also between seven yuan and one or two silver, but if today's disaster continues, it would be good for those homeless people to have something to eat, of course Qin Chuan did not give the homeless workers money, but only raised them to farm.

Of course, those who go to mining can also enjoy the treatment of miners by the piece, and those who do a lot of work also have three or four hundred yuan a month, in contrast, when the village warrior has six hundred yuan, and he can also get a reward when he fights, and those who have the courage to be displaced are naturally happy.

After the adjustment, the Xiangyong team is still 300 people, after the baptism of war, these 300 people have more or less changed, many people have learned to keep their knives and guns on their bodies, and some have even called the old bandits in Jiuji Mountain brothers.

Qin Chuan wanted to name his army and gather the group of old bandits together, he wanted to brainstorm, but when the uneducated mouth was opened, he had a big head for a while, and hurriedly blasted all the people away.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan finally decided to name the army Emperor Guan's army.

Because there is a Guandi Mountain in the northwest of Lou Fu, the so-called Guan Er Ye shines on me to fight, so that the light of loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness fills the world.

After the army was named, Qin Chuan divided the 300 people into three battalions on the left, middle and right, which were the first battalion, the Wudang battalion, and the trapping camp, with Luo Daniu, Luo Ba and Liu Youzhu as the battalion officers.

The rest of the old bandits in Jiuji Mountain were organized into the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, which was directly under Qinchuan.

In addition, Qin Chuan also asked those villagers who fought bravely to kill the enemy and got a reward to go to the mine, show up and say, and recruit another 200 miners to expand the army.

In the early stage, 500 people were temporarily organized to occupy as little labor as possible, but of course the army also had to do work, in addition to training, water conservancy and farming.
