In the past few days on the road, there has been a strange phenomenon: after the 30,000 people were managed in groups, they were in good order, and even the prisoners of re-education through labor were happy to follow, and there was not a single case of dragging their families and escaping.

Zhang Yang learned through talking with several town officials and propaganda team members that these people were frightened by hunger, and they were even more disgusted with having to beat and kill people in order to grab a bite to eat.

Displaced people, who are close to nothing, are now able to eat food that is not mixed with wild vegetables and tree bark, which is already considered a step to the sky.

Listening to the propaganda team and the magistrates talk about the labor and treatment they were about to face, most of them had a vision for the future, and if they could have their stomachs full, they did not reject escorting them to sea at all.

When Zhang Yang led the cavalry back, hundreds of carriages were loaded with grain and sent to the fortress of Houjiazhuang for hoarding, and it would come to an end when it reached 10,000 stone tun grain.

In the past few days, a small group of displaced people who have dragged their families and families in the vicinity have been brought into Xiaohouzhuang for resettlement, and more than 2,000 people have been sent to a "Red Banner Army" to divert them.

Houjiazhuang's fathers and villagers lived and died together with the white pole soldiers and were rewarded by the Hou of Dongping, not only the son of heaven asked for a reward for the old patriarch, but also another one got three buckets of rice and three taels of silver.

The people of Houjiazhuang who died in the war have not been forgotten, and they have all received six buckets of polished rice and six taels of silver, which are received by their immediate family members.

Dongping Hou is bold and magnificent, and his fairness, justice, and openness in handling things have made Houjiazhuang grateful, which directly led to too many young and middle-aged men wanting to join the "Red Flag Army" in unison, and they couldn't persuade him.

There are less than 400 young people in Houjiazhuang, how can Huang Han take these people under his command, and the patriarch and clan elders of the Hou family have no intention of migrating the entire clan to Liaoxi to reclaim land.

This can't be blamed for their ignorance of current affairs, after all, they are one of the best landlords in a radius of more than 20 miles, how can they put the stockades and houses in the Central Plains, abandon tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and leave their hometowns with two or three thousand people to go to the dangerous place outside the Guanwai?

In the end, it was not a confiscation, Zhang Yang selected nine strong men with skilled archers and horses led by Hou Benzhai and Hou Benlin to supplement the ranks of the cold weapon cavalry for apprenticeship, and during the six-month internship period, they could become regular if they did not drop the chain.

The neighborhood was swept by the rogues, too many people lost their homes and relatives, many men who passed the screening vowed to avenge their parents, wives and children, too many young and middle-aged people knelt down and begged the "Red Flag Army" to accept them into the army, most of them were satisfied, starting with military service.

After further in-depth understanding by the propaganda team and the magistrates, hundreds of young men with riding skills were given the opportunity to participate in the election to show their skills, and finally 360 people were selected to take care of the war horses and participate in military training, and they were the candidates for the expansion of the cavalry.

There are less than 700 white-pole soldiers under Zhang Fengyi's command who survived, each of them received ten taels of silver rewarded by Huang Han, and about 300 wounded people must stay in the camp to recuperate, and it is estimated that half of them will be cured within a month or two, and the rest will definitely be left disabled, and it is impossible to continue to serve in the army.

Killing the rogues is not a matter of seizing the day at all, but a long process, and Huang Han is not in a hurry at all.

After the army was stationed in Houjiazhuang, it swept the flies and dogs within a range of 50 miles with this as the center, and the effect was very good, order was being restored, and the legal system was re-established.

Because they did not have to worry about being harmed by the gangsters and homeless people, the people of Houjiazhuang and many nearby villagers went to work in the fields to reduce their losses, and many people who fled to escape the military disaster returned to their homes one after another.

The engineer battalion was busy every day, and their task was to dig as many irrigation wells as possible for the fathers and villagers of Houjiazhuang, and of course, the newly admitted military servants would do most of the heavy physical work.

Houjiazhuang is really a blessing in disguise, and their wheat fields may not be harvested because of the drought if they do not suffer this military disaster.

When the wheat seedlings were about to die, the "Red Banner Army" laborers pushed a wheelbarrow to the Zhanghe River, which had not been cut off for more than 10 miles, to transport water and protect the seedlings, and also drilled irrigation wells without interruption with the standard of owning one piece of land on 20 or 30 acres.

The ancients have long known that drilling wells to fight drought, but the labor and material costs required to irrigate a well are simply not affordable for hungry farmers.

Moreover, in the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the society was unstable, and who would be stupid to increase investment in fixed assets, spending money and effort to dig irrigation wells is likely to cheapen others.

Huang Han took a fancy to the pride of the villagers of Houjiazhuang and the white pole soldiers living and dying together, and with such a mass foundation, he decided to run this place into a fortress that would never give up.

It will not only collect the acres of unowned land within a radius of 50 miles for its own use, but also take in some Henan people who are unwilling to go to sea to Liaodong to settle fields here and burn cement and bricks.

In the future, within 50 miles of Houjiazhuang as the center, only the people of Houjiazhuang had private fields belonging to several large landowners of the Hou family, and the rest of the fields were owned by the "Red Banner Army" except for those who insisted on cultivating them.

The landlords who fled for refuge found that the place was stable and would definitely come back to ask for the land occupied by the "Red Banner Army".

The remaining propaganda team members and town magistrates will lead the army to negotiate with the landlord and the old man, and recognize those who can provide legal proof such as land and land deeds.

However, in principle, the stipulation of not returning one mu of land can be adopted for negotiations, and the rent of one mu of fertile land can be signed with the landlord and the old fortune to not exceed one bucket of wheat per year, and the "Red Banner Army" will take the lead in renting the seeds in a unified manner.

The "Red Banner Army" did not mind letting them be sacked by the rogues and lose their lives.

Troubled waters are easy to fish, tens of thousands of rogues have already hit here, there will definitely be remnants hiding in the remnants of the Taihang Mountain in the west and waiting for an opportunity, and the bloody case of the robbing of the rogues can only be done in vain!

After on-the-spot investigation and the clan elders of Houjiazhuang, it was confirmed that the biggest landlord here should be a big man who no one can provoke, this person is too bullish, I am afraid that there is no need to kneel when he sees the current emperor.

This is King Lu, Zhu Changshu, the grandson of Emperor Longqing, the cousin of the current emperor, of course, Huang Han can't offend the entire royal family in order to compete with this lord for acres.

In order to be able to do black and white, the flag guard has been actively laying out during this time.

In addition to sending flag guards to enter the big cities in the mainland with merchants, open duck blood vermicelli shops, open big car shops, set up stalls to sell roasted sweet potatoes, and so on.

Pei Daneng and Zhao Shisan, two officers who were transferred to the flag guard due to injury, were also dispatched to follow the main force of the Kou into Henan to wait for an opportunity.

Pei and Zhao are now the big leaders under Huang Sifang, and they are ready to carry out the big plan to break into the core layer of the rogue.
