Chapter 261 New recruits

After Liu Renyu and Du Ruonan talked freely, they could be regarded as deciding on the family matter, and then Du Ruonan returned to Yan'an, explained to his father that he wanted to do things for Liu Renyu, and asked his father to allocate money.

When the old man heard that Liu Renyu was not only willing to be his son-in-law and let his daughter be his wife, but also willing to let his daughter's son be surnamed Du, the old man was naturally extremely happy, and he was very happy to allocate money to his daughter, and let his daughter personally buy grain and grass for Liu Renyu and rent a sea boat.

Du Ruonan got the money from her father, so she sent very capable men to buy grain and grass in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and then she planned to go to Fujian to rent a sea boat in person. Liu Renyu refused to let his fiancée go to Fujian because the marriage date was approaching, after all, the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, and it would take half a year to go to Fujian from Shaanxi, so Liu Renyu decided to marry Du Ruonan first, and then let Du Ruonan go to Fujian.

Du Ruonan naturally agreed with Liu Renyu's suggestion, so she put aside the matter of going to Fujian for a while, and concentrated on the purchase of grain and grass.

It is said that Du Ruonan was busy buying grain and grass, and Liu Renyu was not idle, he went to be busy with the matter of proposing relatives.

He first sent someone to find the matchmaker who spoke for him last time, and asked the matchmaker to speak for himself again.

The matchmaker won Liu Renyu's generous reward, so she naturally tried her best to say something for Liu Renyu, and Master Du had already had this intention, so the whole family affair was decided, Liu Renyu considered that he would soon go to Liaodong to build a city, so he set the wedding date on the eighteenth day of the first month.

When Liu Renyu was holding the wedding, he specially instructed all parties to make all the arrangements the same as when he married Sun Yuyun, if he didn't do this, as long as there was a goodwill comparison between the two wives, he was afraid that there would be a war without gunpowder in his backyard.

There are no friends in officialdom, and there are no girlfriends in the harem.

Liu Renyu knows very well that his two wives are willing to marry him, and his attraction only plays a small role, and the most critical reason is that he has a future, which is helpful to the Sun family and the Du family.

Therefore, Sun Yuyun and Du Ruonan are actually the spokespersons of their respective families, which is equivalent to the insurance that the Sun family and the Du family bought here, and they are still getting along relatively well, maybe something will happen in the future.

Therefore, for the sake of family harmony, Liu Renyu dug out his heart and tried his best to make a bowl of water level for the two wives, so when Liu Renyu gave the Du family a dowry gift, it was the same as when he gave it to the Sun family.

When inviting guests, Liu Renyu considered that he had invited Hong Chengchou before, which was a big face, and this time he would invite him again.

As soon as this matter was reported, Hong Chengchou was approved, this is because Liu Renyu is Hong Chengchou's henchman, but it is because Liu Renyu, the best subordinate who eats grass and milks milk, sent good things to Hong Chengchou.

There are 428 heads of the Northern Capture True Yi.

You must know that at this time, the northern captives were wreaking havoc in Gansu and Ningxia, and the trilateral governor Yang He was in a hurry.

It is no surprise that the Mongols in Ningxia and Gansu burned and looted at the same time, and if they entered a no-man's land, Yang He only had tens of thousands of field combat capabilities in his hands, and the officers and soldiers who barely passed the defense of the city could only watch the Mongols do evil.

At this time, the inspectors of the imperial history did not do it, they wrote bullet chapters one after another, attacked Yang He and killed and plundered the enemy, and did not resist, causing the people in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty to be poisoned, and if they did not kill this fang, how could they thank the people of the world.

The imperial court also knew more or less about the military status quo in the northwest, so it turned a blind eye to Yang He and did not pursue it, but Yang He himself felt that he was not happy, after all, it was disgraceful to defeat the battle.

Just when Yang He was very depressed, he didn't guard against his subordinate Hong Chengchou and sent 428 Mongolian Zhenyi heads in time.

At this time, Yang He was almost crazy with joy, because in addition to feeling that the defeat was dishonorable, he was also very afraid that the current emperor Chongzhen would punish his own crimes.

It is said that now Chongzhen has been three years, and the little emperor who succeeded to the throne was alone, and he stood up to the powerful Wei Zhongxian, which shows that his methods are extremely clever, and his political wisdom is self-taught and master-level.

This self-proclaimed virtuous monarch who is better than Yao Shunyu Tang, so far, he has not made much achievements in governing the country, and it is very poor compared with his ancestors Taizu and Chengzu, but when he rectifies his subordinates, that kind of courage is definitely comparable to Taizu and Chengzu.

In October of the second year of Chongzhen, the Jiannu soldiers came to the city of Beijing, this matter was really big, and the Ming army was indeed ineffective, so Emperor Chongzhen didn't say a word, and directly asked people to arrest Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department, and put him in prison.

In fact, Wang Qia was really wronged, because he was reinstated in the first year of Chongzhen, and he did the work of the Ministry of Industry, that is, he was engaged in construction, and later because of his majestic appearance, he looked like a general, so he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War.

After he arrived, he put forward several measures to improve the military, but the results were useless, the Ming army was still rotten as always, and then the Jiannu soldiers came to the city, and Wang Qia fell into bad luck.

In fact, when the Jiannu soldiers were under the city of Beijing, Wang Qia should not carry the black cauldron, but Chongzhen didn't care, and arrested Wang Qia in prison without saying a word.

Yang He thought about Wang Qia, and then thought about himself, saying that he came to Shaanxi to recruit thieves, but as a result, there were more and more thieves, and now they all ran out of Shaanxi and went to Shanxi.

There is no doubt that the work of Zhao'an has been a failure, and now the defense of the northern captives is a failure in failure, if the emperor is unhappy one day, Yang He thinks that he may have to go to the prison in Beijing City for two days.

So he was naturally very worried about his safety, and now Hong Chengchou suddenly sent hundreds of Beiyu Zhenyi's heads, there is no doubt that this can definitely cover up all his previous mistakes in the past, so Yang He happily asked Hong Chengchou, who cut these heads.

Hong Chengchou told the truth that when the anti-thief god Yiyuan hooked the Mongolian cavalry to encircle Jingbian, Liu Renyu took his subordinates to cut it, and Yang He was overjoyed, so he wanted to repay Liu Renyu, but Hong Chengchou said that Liu Renyu only needed silver.

Yang He was happy, but he was also happy, and allocated a basic bonus of 13,000 taels from the silver saved from the abolition of the post station, plus an additional reward of 7,000 taels, and sent it to Jingbian Fort to reward Liu Renyu for his great contributions to the cause of suppressing thieves and fighting the Mongols.

In this way, Liu Renyu got cash silver, which could be used to recruit troops, Hong Chengchou was commended by Yang He, and Yang He was commended by the emperor and the imperial court, and everyone was very happy and unhappy.

Later, the thieves who were still making trouble in Shaanxi heard that Yansui had a terrible general, who killed more than 400 people in the north in the first war, and they were so frightened that their mouths were crooked, and they all expressed their willingness to surrender to Yang He.

It is said that Liu Renyu got 20,000 taels of silver, and immediately gave orders to several generals under him, asking them to recruit troops as soon as possible.

Those generals were ordered, so they took Lang Zhong to the Liujiabao construction site to recruit troops.

As soon as these generals came to the Liujiabao construction site and explained the favorable conditions for recruiting troops from the Jingbianbao army, those ordinary people immediately boiled.

In other parts of the Ming Dynasty, being a soldier is a chore, low status, poor treatment, bad reputation, such soldiers are naturally unwilling to be, but the soldiers of Jingbian Fort are very different, being a soldier in Jingbian Fort is a very promising profession, high status, good treatment, and excellent reputation (Jingbian Fort Army is a hot commodity in the wedding market).

Therefore, after the recruitment announcement was issued, many people were willing to join the army, and the registration offices of each branch of the army were crowded.

Those generals felt that there were too many people who had signed up to join the army, so they repeatedly selected those who were more intelligent and physically strong to join the army.

Those lucky ones who were selected into the army could immediately receive 10 taels of silver as long as they joined the army, and in addition, there were three months of moon ringing.

Since the military uniforms, armor and weapons were directly provided by the logistics department of the Jingbianbao Army, Liu Renyu did not pay the recruits for the equipment.

After these recruits confirmed that they would join the army, almost none of them chose the option of having a few people from their families work as workers, but chose land.

The Chinese people have been farming for thousands of years, and the land plot is very strong, and Liu Renyu understands this very well, so he naturally readily agrees.

When the families of these recruits heard that as long as the wasteland was reclaimed, it could be counted as their own industry, they all left Liujiabao happily and searched for wasteland near the Luhe River.

It is said that at this time, due to the serious loss of border troops and border people, some of the original military cantonments near Jingbian Fort were all abandoned, and the fields of the former military cantonments were occupied by the families of those recruits and used them as their own fields.

After the families of these recruits reclaimed the wasteland and divided the field boundary, Liu Renyu sent someone to build the books and issue the land deeds to them.

After doing these works, Liu Renyu also specially allocated reinforced concrete to build a walled settlement for the families of these recruits.

After the recruits saw that after they became soldiers, their families received a large amount of money and free houses, and quickly ran into a well-off society, which made other ordinary people who were not qualified to join the army extremely envious. They were naturally very grateful to Liu Renyu, so they all trained seriously and planned to die for Liu Renyu.
