In half a month, Li Shouhan repaired the road in front of the garrison official village, widened, leveled, mixed with slaked lime with fine sand and clay, and hardened the land, forming a slightly trapezoidal square, with an area of thousands of acres. Such a large plot of land has become a wasteland where crops cannot be grown. However, after receiving the grain once, no one said these words again. Tens of thousands of military households and civilian households who want to hand over public grain are waiting in line on the square with their own land deeds, checking the number of acres here, reporting the number of public grain that needs to be handed over, and the third step is to take the grain to the grain depot and put it in storage. It's the most convenient.

In the past few days, the public grain has been handed over, and the square has become a school field. Another batch of conscripts is being trained here. According to Li Shouhan's regulations, all villages, regardless of their size, are all prepared to protect the first class, and every ten to fifteen households is one first-class, and every ten first-class is one guarantee. When the farming is not working, the young men of the appropriate age of each family, oh, that is, the strong men, must receive military training in phases and batches, and when there is a combat conquest, they are recruited and mobilized according to the principle of one soldier and one soldier.

Under the sun, groups of recruits waved their spears in their hands, and thrust with all their might at the sound of the commanders' commands and under the whips and sticks, and sweat flowed down like streams. Seeing another group of strong men suffering in the training subjects they had experienced, several people who came over couldn't help but show a hint of schadenfreude on the corners of their mouths.

Along the way, several people and Bao Xiaohei have already drawn the distance, and there is a way to wear thousands of clothes, but not sycophants. The sycophants who don't want money flocked to Mr. Bao who always had a long black and thin face like a tide, Rao is a master of Bao's family, and he couldn't help Zuo Tianpeng, Chen Tianhua, and Xu Huanshan took turns to pat themselves, and soon, Wang Bao was also encouraged by these guys to stammer. Although Bao Zhongchen didn't say anything, he didn't like Fang Cai, and he couldn't cut a steel knife into his face.

Several people understand that the errand of Bao Xiaohei is to reward merit and punish faults, enforce military law, supervise the military discipline of various departments, and if he gets along. Big things become small things, and small things become nothing; On the contrary, nothing becomes something, and small things become big things.

"Subordinates, etc., see your lordship." After the salute of participation, the four people stood in front of Li Shouhan with their hands down. When training recruits, Shouhan paid attention to cultivating etiquette, norms, and hierarchy in the army. Now, although Zuo Chen and Xu Wang returned victoriously, they did not dare to deviate at all.

"Sit down! Tell me about your trip. Li Shouhan looked at his four subordinate generals with great satisfaction.

"On the orders of the generals, the last general went to accept the iron cottage, but unfortunately it was a step late, the news of He Rebellion's defeat and death had been brought back to the village by the defeated soldiers, He Rebellion was full of old and weak, more than 40 mouths, piled firewood in the ancestral hall, and committed suicide by fire. When the end arrives, there is no return. I had to pick up the bones and bring them back and hand them over to the general for disposal. This trip accepted the iron cottage, and obtained more than 100,000 catties of pig iron, more than 100 buffaloes, 27,428 taels of gold, and 275,348 taels of silver. 345,275 pounds of grain were stored. There are more than 6,000 horses of silk, more than 13,000 pieces of cotton cloth, and 34 large and small ships. There were 12,063 people in the register. There is another mine, according to the old man in the village, tens of thousands of catties of iron can be born every year. ”

"Are there any losses in the soldiers?"

"Except for more than a dozen injuries and diseases, no one has lost horses."

"Write down, Chen Tianhua's exploits once."

"The mark was ordered to wash the nest of the She tribe and penetrate more than 500 miles into the enemy's territory. Defeat the enemy village eighteen! More than 1,200 decapitations. More than 33,000 young, strong, old, weak, women and children were captured, including 11,434 Ding Zhuang. Capture more than 80 buffaloes! Golden Sands fifty-nine thousand three hundred and forty-seven taels! There were more than 224,500 taels of silver, and more than 159,500 catties of grain. ”

Wang Bao's achievements made everyone in the conference hall have their eyes lit up, and their mouths were full of praise. Good boy! In half a month, the company set off to bring back the division, entered the enemy territory for more than 500 miles, and conquered 18 enemy villages. Is this Phoenix Battalion flying all the way? On average, you have to capture two stockades in one day?!

Li Shouhan smiled, these people didn't know that a few hundred years later, there would be an army that could forcibly march more than 200 miles in a day and night, and there would be a few small battles. However, the combat effectiveness and mobility of the Phoenix Battalion today are also first-class among the infantry of this era.

"Wang Bao. Don't lie about your exploits! Xu Huanshan deliberately wanted to praise Wang Bao, so that he could have the opportunity to brag about his military exploits in front of everyone.

"Your Excellency!" Wang Bao's black face turned red, "Wang Bao has a lie, so let the ancestral gods send down the heavenly thunder to kill Wang Bao!" ”

"Tell me how you managed to conquer eighteen enemy villages in ten days? More than 500 miles of land? ”

Fu Bo's white eyebrows twitched, he clearly heard Li Shouhan say that he was talking about expanding the land for more than 500 miles, could it be said?

"The lower part of the standard marched for half a day, and then met dozens of Awang remnants of the barbarians, all the way to the She's cottage, relying on the might of the adults, only a row of bows and arrows will shoot over a few barbarians guarding the gate of the village, and the barbarians will be defeated. We rushed in and pained to wash it, and this is how the main village of Ngawang was conquered. ”

After conquering the main village of Awang, Wang Bao took the main village as a base and launched an attack on the She's cottage outside, those She's barbarians armed with Miao knives may be able to take advantage of the opponent in one-on-one melee combat, but Wang Bao's Phoenix battalion has also received strict training under Li Shouhan, and that one plays one-on-one hand-to-hand combat with you? When dealing with these barbarians, they first shot with bows and arrows, and then spears flew up like a forest. In addition, the Ka tribe had told the people about the horror of the Han spear phalanx before the rout, and soon the Ka city collapsed, except for a few eyes that were poked into blood gourds, the others all knelt down and asked to surrender.

Along the way, there is basically no time for the stockade to hold on to a stick of incense in the face of such an offensive. So Wang Bao's Phoenix Battalion marched all the way, fought all the way, checked the results all the way, and now has advanced the soldiers to the territory of Laos, and Li Shouhan's five-meter spear is honored to win the title of a mourning gun.

"My lord, the sons and daughters under the mark said that our mourning gun is much better than the Miao knife, can we replace the Miao knife in the hands of the marked sons and daughters with a mourning gun?" Wang Bao made such an application after telling about his achievements.

"Funeral guns?! How did it come to such a name? Shouhan couldn't laugh or cry. The five-meter spear in the hands of the soldiers was made of wrought iron in the style of the spear in the Spanish phalanx, but the iron behind the spearhead was lengthened to more than 1 meter, and he didn't want to be given such a title.

"I'm not busy for the time being, wait until the craftsmen are ready, how about the loss of people and horses in this trip?"

"Fifteen lightly wounded, ten seriously wounded, and twenty-nine killed." Compared with Chen Tianhua's casualties, Wang Bao's losses were somewhat large, but he fought hard with the enemy, and the situation of the two was different.

"Make a note of it. Wang Bao made a great achievement. Li Shouhan was very satisfied with Wang Bao's achievements, not to mention the plundering of gold and silver property, the capture of those strong men alone was enough to alleviate the shortage of labor in various workshops, mines, lumber yards, and ship yards, and it was the cheapest labor force. Soon, the more than 30,000 captives, who contained more than 10,000 strong men, were distributed to all the places just mentioned, turning their own flesh and blood into fuel and propellant for Li Shouhan to build his powerful regime.

"Zuo Xiaopeng, Xu Dahu, tell me about the achievements of the two of you."

The two small followers in the past are now also the commanders of a battalion, and the two glanced at each other, "Adults, the small ones have an average record in this trip, and they are not as good as the two troops of King Chen." ”

"Don't be there! Just say it! ”

The two of them had a belly of fire in their hearts, and this time they went south, thinking that they could show their skills, but they didn't want to fight out with thousands of catties, but they punched the cotton.

"The two of us went all the way south, and everywhere they went, either the head of the village was splashed with water and water on the street for several miles, or the people of the village killed the head of the village who intended to defend the village, and went out of the village to surrender." The two of them talked with tears on their faces.

"Huh? Why do the villagers kill the head of the village and go out to surrender? ”

To say that the leaders of the village opened the door to surrender in order to protect their lives, but the villagers of each village were able to get up and kill the head of the village, and open the door to surrender, but why?

"My lord, aren't we dividing the fields and land here?" Zuo Tianpeng looked at the initiator Li Shouhan with a resentful expression, your old man did that, let us go all the way south, everywhere we passed, there was a sea of jubilant people, and countless people everywhere were asking, "We have submitted to the general, can we also carry out the field division order here?!" ”

"All the way south, it was almost the same as the marching training during the training, and there was no battle. All the way to the territory of Guangping, until the bank of the Lingjiang River, and then forward is the boundary of the Southern Dynasties, the two generals had to return in vain, but along the way, hundreds of Han village elders came with us to meet the general. Containment request from the General! They are willing to carry out the decrees and military discipline issued by the general! ”

"Hundreds of villages?!" Li Shouhan jumped up, this should be the biggest result of Xu Huanshan and Zuo Tianpeng's trip. Even if the population of a village is calculated by 1,000 people, hundreds of villages is a very considerable number!

"Make a note of it! Xu Huanshan and Zuo Tianpeng made a great achievement! ”

And Zuo Tianpeng, Xu Huanshan all the way north of the hundreds of villagers really opened their eyes, this famous garrison mansion is worthy of the residence of my Ming general. As soon as you enter the boundary of the garrison house, there is a wide road, and as far as the eye can see, there are hard-working peasants everywhere, although they are all sweating, but you can see the smiles and hopes on the faces of those peasants.

Right! It's hope and life! That's what sets this place apart from the rest!

Seeing the boundless captives, captured gold and silver, goods, and cattle on the school grounds, the villagers couldn't help but be dazzled, God! This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy doing this? Even if he is a child of a family, he has such courage and talent, and he is also a dragon among people. It seems that we are waiting for the general, and this move is absolutely correct!

However, the next scene was even more impressive to them.

After the pacification officer Bao Xiaohei announced the decision to give credit to the four generals who led the troops, the soldiers lined up on the school field thundered with joy.

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

"Mighty!"

Then, Bao Zhongchen read out the list of the spoils handed over by the various ministries, the mountains of goods, gold and silver, cloth, silk, pig iron, grain and rice, and the buffaloes that were tied up in the trees at will, which made the eyes of almost all the people present burn.

"Soldiers!" Li Shouhan stood on the general's platform and began to lecture loudly to his troops.

"Have you ever forgotten the three major military disciplines I announced?!"

"A qiē seized and returned to the public!"

"One qiē action obeys orders!"

"Thou shalt not take anything for nothing!"

He was answered by a thunderous roar.

"Excellent! It seems that everyone has not forgotten jì! Now, I declare that I will give forty percent of the total value of the captured goods to the soldiers of this battle! ”

"General Xie's reward!" Everyone heard the number of seized goods read out by the magistrate, forty percent of the total value, which is also an astronomical amount! Distributed to every soldier, it is enough to make people envious!

"The recruits who are being trained in the house this time will be given an extra ration per person!" One person sat in the corner unhappy, this truth, Li Shouhan understood, those recruits who were full of envy on the side, suddenly thundered with joy, "Thank you for the reward!" ”

"But, I want to ask, gentlemen, is it true that no one disobeys my military orders and hides their belongings?!" In a word, calm down the people present.

Oh, yes! There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people. In the queue, someone's eyes began to wander and look around.

"Bao Zhongchen, close your eyes!" Li Shouhan shouted.

"Obey!" Bao Zhongchen didn't know why the general gave such an order, but he still obeyed the order.

"Listen to me! All sit down! ”

"Kua!" Thousands of people moved in unison, and everyone sat down on the floor of the school grounds.

"After a while, I will order to close my eyes and recuperate, if someone has seized it privately, you can take this opportunity to put it in the pile of items over there, and please close your eyes and recuperate with you, and wait until I give the order to open your eyes, if you have not discarded it, don't be unpredictable! Close your eyes! ”

All the people present closed their eyes, even the children who were watching the excitement outside the field were blindfolded by their mothers, and there was a chortag of footsteps in the school grounds. Soon, the footsteps stopped.

"Good! Ensemble! Open! ”

"Pacification officer! Order, check! ”

Bao Xiaohei waved the flag embroidered with the word "law enforcement" in his hand, "All of them, put weapons!" Disarm! ”

With an order, everyone carefully placed the bows, quivers, Miao knives, and desperate guns on the ground, and untied the bamboo armor.

"Jump in place ten times!"

Soon, there was a lucky person who intended to get through the trick, and with a few jumps, the gold and silver hidden in his body fell to the ground, and before the law enforcement soldiers could get closer, he was pressed to the ground by his comrades beside him.

was escorted to the front of the stage by Qianfu, Li Shouhan looked at it coldly, "I said, it's unpredictable." Governor, announce! ”

"According to military regulations! Privately concealing and seizing goods, taking people's property in vain, and punishing eighty military sticks! ”

"Announce everyone's reward numbers!"

"In this rebellion battle, my general's mansion sent a total of 500 troops! Four hundred men went out on an expedition, and one hundred remained behind. Each person who went out on an expedition could get two stones of rice and ten taels of silver! For each enemy sergeant killed, an additional tael of silver was issued; Those who kill more than 10 enemies will be rewarded with a cow for the next level! Each of the left-behind troops can get one stone of rice and five taels of silver! ”

"Wow!" There was a lot of discussion in the audience. People began to talk to each other about how they would use the money, but the more shocking was yet to come.

"Although our army won a great victory in this rebellion, 30 people were slightly wounded, 10 were seriously wounded and disabled, and 29 were killed. The general was benevolent, and all the wounded were given free medical treatment, and those who were seriously injured and disabled were given 20 taels of silver, 30 stones of rice, and arranged for tuntian. In addition to 50 taels of silver and 100 stones of rice, each of the dead was given 30 acres of sacrificial fields to be received by their families, but the sacrificial fields were not allowed to be bought and sold, and if there was a violation, both buyers and sellers would be severely punished! Three days later, the general will choose Jiyang to bury the fallen soldiers of the rebellion and set up a temple to worship! ”

If the reward just now is a bombshell, then this compensation for the casualties is definitely a cloud burst bomb. What the Chinese are talking about is that the old man has to raise himself into the soil for peace, and Li Shouhan's idea of compensity is absolutely not worth mentioning from a modern point of view, but it was absolutely shocking at the end of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, especially the article of building a temple to sacrifice can already make the vast majority of the soldiers present want to crush his bones immediately!

"Great General Rende!" After listening to the pronunciation of the magistrate, the soldiers and civilians present all knelt on the ground and chanted.

"Everyone, please get up, Li just did what he had to do, and he really deserves such a big gift." Li Shouhan humbly waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, "People do not stand without faith, there are ancient Shang martingale standing wood for faith, and today Li has a letter in the school field." ”

"Let's do it!"

As a result, the most peculiar but impressive scene was presented before people's eyes.

On the left side of the platform, there were 80 law enforcement soldiers under the control officer, who pressed the soldiers who violated discipline to the ground, stripped off their shirts (that is, trousers), picked up their military sticks and beat them fiercely.

On the right side of the platform, the soldiers are happily receiving silver and morning glory bamboo chips according to the formed units.
