After the brigade entered Bozhou, according to the usual practice, Chai Xirang and Concubine Du were placed in the Commander's Mansion of Soldiers and Horses, and Li Zhongyi himself lived in the Zhizhou Yamen.

Originally, according to the battle plan formulated by the Senate Department, an important part of it was the content of quickly reorganizing and defeating the army after taking Bozhou.

The 50,000 imperial forbidden troops brought by Fu Zhaoxin, as well as the 30,000 Xiangyong who were temporarily conscripted, except for those who were seriously wounded and killed in battle, most of them were blocked in the city and became prisoners of war.

After a small part of the rout army escaped from the west gate and the north gate, the cavalry battalion under Li Yong's department was already waiting for them, and the number of people who really escaped was probably less than 100 people.

In other words, although Li Jiajun took Bozhou, he had tens of thousands of more mouths to eat, which is indeed a big problem.

The elite forbidden army of the imperial court is not only all Han people, but also they are all carefully selected strong men, and their physical fitness is excellent.

In addition to the Li Jiajun, serving as a soldier to eat food and killing the enemy to receive rewards is the inherent tradition of raising the army in this era.

In a word, whoever gives food and who cooks for the officials will obey the command of whomever the military and the Han will obey, and there is no so-called national concept at all.

More than 70,000 strong men, if not properly handled, after the main army marches westward, it is bound to cause a big chaos.

If it were other warlord troops who had captured so many prisoners of war, in the case of insufficient food supply, in order to avoid future troubles, it was likely to adopt a strategy of white rise and kill them all.

If there was enough food, the prisoners of war would be reduced to slavery and then resold to local tyrants to do menial work.

The Li Jiajun, who was armed by Li Zhongyi with national righteousness, was never afraid of the large number of prisoners of war, and the increasingly perfect pacification system was put into operation, and it had a complete set of mature plans for dividing and disintegrating the prisoners of war.

As early as the beginning of Li Zhongyi's establishment, he has repeatedly reorganized all kinds of defeated armies, and after so many years, he has been extremely experienced.

Among the prisoners of war, officers of all sizes or key elements above the rank of captain must be selected from the pile of prisoners and kept in solitary custody.

Then, Li Jiajun's unique trick, that is, the "Grievance Conference", will make a shining debut.

As the saying goes, the commander-in-chief is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. On the other hand, what kind of commander there is, what kind of soldiers will be brought out.

An army with a sense of national responsibility and honor, at least at the level of officers, must be literate, even ordinary soldiers, and not purely illiterate.

Different from any army of the same era, under the influence and encouragement of Li Zhongyi for many years, the soldiers in the Li family's army, from the commanders to the quasi-veterans who have been in the army for more than one year, know more than 95% of the words.

The reason why it can't be 100% is mainly because some of the soil buns in the countryside are indeed elm heads, which are not reading material at all.

As we all know, in the Li Jiajun, the necessary conditions for the promotion of officers, except for military merits, cannot be illiterate.

The principle that examinations must be taken every time they are promoted permeate every corner of the entire officer promotion system, and it has become an iron law that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As the old saying goes, a dog jumps off the wall, and a rabbit bites! Many times, this person is also forced out.

In order to raise the cultural level of the troops, Li Zhongyi ingeniously made a provision that officers and soldiers who have been in the army for more than one year will be subject to monthly cultural assessments.

If someone can't read 1,000 words, he will be rewarded with ten strokes of a military stick in public and fined for one month and not allowed to eat meat.

Under the terrifying deterrence of flogging, almost no one dared to spit on the street, or litter, or drive drunk.

Li Zhongyi's logic of governing the army is actually very clear, that is, there are clear rewards and punishments.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. In the same way, under heavy punishment, the authority of military law can be completely demonstrated, and people will not dare to break the law easily.

With Li Zhongyi's order, Li Jiajun's pacification system was completely mobilized. Educated, knowledgeable, and eloquent officers and veterans at all levels, holding a small wine jug in their left hand, roast lamb leg or roast chicken in their right hand, and fried melon seeds in their pockets, entered the camp of the forbidden army prisoners in groups of three or five.

"I said brothers, little brother, I used to be a hunter. Do you know what Orion is? Alas, damn it, it's three points cheaper than the house slaves bought by the landlord's family. Hehe, you look at Lao Tzu now, eat fragrant, drink spicy, don't need money for clothes, and the monthly silver can also be sent home, so that the guests can collect it, and raise a few babies for the elderly. ”

"Oh, my brother's nominal salary is three times a month, but he actually only got 800 Wen? Alas, those officers who drank the blood of soldiers were not fucking things. Nima, they are tired of eating meat, but my brother is drinking the northwest wind. Eight hundred Wen, in Kaifeng City, let alone marrying a lady, even if you want to visit the Qinglou, you can't do it. ”

"Turtle grandson, Lao Tzu worked hard to plant the land for a year, in the end, he couldn't even save the rations, those landlords and old fortunes were too ruthless, forcing Lao Tzu to live, so he voted for our Li Dashuai."

"I said brother, don't hang on, eat and drink, let's talk slowly and talk about common things."

"Slow down, slow down, no one is robbing you, my little brother can see it, brother, you are a good man, come on, this leg of mutton is all yours, don't choke."

Similar scenes of complaining and talking about their hearts spread throughout the prisoner of war camps. Everyone sat around the fire, eating wine and smashing melon seeds, while scolding the black-hearted generals of the forbidden army, or the landlords and old fortunes in their hometowns.

In this era, the officers who did not make a fortune by drinking the blood of soldiers also existed in the Li Jiajun.

In fact, because of the separation of revenue and expenditure, it was implemented very thoroughly, and even the commanders of the military level could not embezzle half of the money.

The reason is very simple, the quartermaster system, which was nominally subordinate to the Senate Department, is now directly under the control of Li Zhongyi himself, and a separate quartermaster department will have to be formed sooner or later in the future.

As a mature old politician, Li Zhongyi is very aware of the unspoken rule of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water. Especially in the munitions system, where there is a mountain of money and food, there is oil and water everywhere, and a little leakage between the fingers can feed a lot of rats.

Therefore, in the munitions system, officers who are in charge of money and food are absolutely forbidden to participate in cashiering or treasury affairs. Moreover, the people of the Judge Advocate General's Department may conduct spot checks anytime and anywhere without greeting.

In addition, if the ordnance is not properly maintained, the accidental losses caused by it, such as the rust caused by the knife not being oiled, must be strictly investigated for the responsibility of the dereliction of duty of the parties.

To put it bluntly, it's actually just one sentence: in the affairs of the Celestial Empire, what I am most afraid of is seriousness!

Of course, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds!

There are also quartermasters who are bold and are not afraid of death for money. However, as long as the guys are found out, they all become ghosts under the knife, without exception!

The affairs of the Celestial Empire, in the final analysis, are one logic: do not suffer from few, but suffer from inequality!

Let's say that Zhang San embezzled military rations, or used shoddy quality, but because of his solid backing, he was only given a so-called punishment that was not painful. Nima, this is tantamount to telling the part of the quartermasters who are not greedy in disguise that they are stupid X if they are not greedy for embezzlement.

In the prisoner camp, a meeting was in full swing to complain about their grievances, and there were constantly poor peasant children crying and shouting, asking to join the ranks of Li Jiajun.

The power of the pacification system has gradually become apparent as the number of people who abandon the darkness and surrender to the light continues to soar.

At this time, in the guest room of the Zhizhou Yamen, Fu Zhaoxin, who was lying on the couch with a slight injury, kept his head facing the couch, and did not look at Li Zhongyi sitting on the side at all.

PS: The second more will be sent, and there will be more, ask for a monthly pass!
