The wounded soldiers knew that even in the stone pillars, they could not have such good medical conditions and could not eat so well.

Knowing that even if they are disabled and unable to serve, Dongping Marquis will not abandon everyone, as long as they want, they can take their families to settle in Tiger's Den City, and they will get jobs within their ability, and the wounded soldiers who have lost their labor force will have priority to provide decent jobs to their wives.

The Marquis of Dongping treated the soldiers so kindly that too many white-pole soldiers were so excited that their eyes were blurred, and they already had the idea of repaying their kindness in their hearts.

The twenty white-pole soldiers who were selected to leave a disability learned that they would be able to work as a family member for the civil master, who was the father-in-law of the life-saving benefactor Dongping Hou, and who went to Jingzhou, not far from Sichuan, was elated and swore allegiance to the heavens.

It is impossible for the flag guards to accept all the disabled soldiers who can still have a certain combat effectiveness, some people are too pure to adapt to the work of spies, and some people are not suitable for special work with distinctive appearances.

Therefore, there were only three flag guards among the thirty families given to Xu Mingyang, and after they became familiar with the twenty-seven people under them, they could give priority to the development of flag guards among them, and they could also develop locally.

Xu Mingyang, who came to visit his daughter, was ashamed and embarrassed, and Dongpinghou gave silver and others, as if he was here to find his son-in-law to fight the autumn breeze.

Huang Han was blunt, telling Xu Mingyang that the future Ming might be even more chaotic, and the people around him couldn't do anything without force.

The 30 families who followed him after him were all retired veterans, who had shed blood for the country and were trustworthy, and as long as they had money, food, and weapons, these veterans could train at least 300 armed forces within six months that were not weaker than the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops in the interior.

After experiencing the Battle of Pingshun, Xu Mingyang certainly understood the importance of force, and it was not hypocritical to see that Huang Han's purpose in giving him the silver was to enable him to have force and gain confidence.

After three days, the sisters said goodbye to their parents, but they were not bitter in their hearts, but their hearts were sweet, because they knew that their father had silver and dozens of families to be safe and secure, and their lives would not be bitter.

The two of them looked at the thirty veterans who became the Xu family's family members one by one, and found that they were all energetic and quick-moving, and they all had all-steel cuirasses, and Xiao Fengyang, the head of the family, was once a small cavalry flag officer of the "Red Banner Army".

There are no idlers in Houjiazhuang, which enters the idle farm, and the "Zhongyi Fort" about 200 steps to the north, and a large number of sweet potatoes and potatoes need to be deeply processed, and winemaking, brick making, lime burning, and cement burning all require a lot of labor.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes sent to the "Zhongyi Fort" for further processing were not only half of the Huang Han's deserving, but the villagers and farmers sold the surplus grain one after another while keeping enough for their own rations, because they had no experience in storing potatoes and sweet potatoes for fear of rotting in the cellars.

In order to reassure the farmers, the potatoes and sweet potatoes of the farmers are also collected in exchange for vermicelli and vermicelli that are easy to preserve according to the conversion standard of Tiger's Den City, and the price is clearly marked for silver and copper coins for direct sales.

Many ordinary people have already eaten vermicelli and vermicelli when participating in the construction of water conservancy facilities, knowing that this thing is delicious and still carrying hunger, of course, Lezizi replaced the potatoes and sweet potatoes they harvested, and they were even willing to exchange a few catties of liquor and a few canned sea fish to go home for the New Year.

Seeing that autumn is going to winter, during this time, the princes of the imperial court and the governor of Henan all know that the "Red Flag Army" is completing the major event of cash-for-work.

Hundreds of thousands of miles of territory, hundreds of thousands of households will be profitable, such a large project, so many strong laborers, and no team capable of fighting efficiently to maintain stability, not only the local bureaucrats have no bottom in their hearts, but the emperor will also be afraid.

Therefore, neither the military department nor the local officials dared to propose to the emperor to use the "Red Banner Army" to leave the construction site of the river and continue to suppress the cowards.

It wasn't until mid-November, when construction was difficult due to severe freezing caused by a sharp drop in temperature, that the project was completed.

After more than 80 days of hard work, after the beginning of spring next year, it will be enough to ensure that ships with a displacement of 50 tons will enter the Zhanghe River and come to the newly excavated wharf of "Zhongyi Fort."

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan got more than 100 catties of miscellaneous grains plus 8 or 900 copper coins to go home to prepare for the New Year.

Because potatoes are the staple food on the construction site, the people have received enough nutrition and have grown a lot stronger.

Many of these people have seen the legendary "Red Banner Army", and they have paid for their labor to get food and wages, at least this year is much better.

Shengdou Xiaomin kept the words of the "Red Flag Army" propaganda team in mind, and if he couldn't survive, he should not be a thief, go to Tianjin, go to the seaside, as long as he can find the "Red Flag Army", he will be able to get a new life.

At present, the situation in the Ming Dynasty has not been so bad that the common people not far from the capital can not survive, Huang Han is just taking precautions, worrying that the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is still ruined by the rogues and Jiannu in turn, resulting in the death of millions of people.

Spreading the promise that they can find a way to survive by running to the beach in advance will give many ordinary people hope in the face of the looting of the slaves and the rogues.

Many of the people who worked hard and sweated on the construction site learned that the "Red Banner Army" would routinely select strong men with a skill and active performance in labor as military service.

The reward given is five buckets of miscellaneous grains and six coins of silver a month, which is half higher than the hard work of digging the soil at the construction site of the river.

Therefore, many strong laborers who had developed a degree of trust in the "Red Banner Army" refused to return home and took the initiative to ask to become military laborers.

Between launching a river is basically a naval battle, without any technical content, as long as you can carry it on your shoulders, you can be competent.

The basic remuneration given by Huang Han was settled according to one liter of miscellaneous grains a day plus ten copper coins.

Although the pay is not high, the fact that you can eat three meals and eat a full stomach still leads to the strong laborers in the vicinity.

It is no wonder that every household is short of food, and in order to save physical strength and eat less food during the slack time, too many families are basically unwilling to move more.

Having a place to eat for free on a day when there is nothing to do will be sought after, and being able to earn food and copper coins will of course attract a lot of strong laborers.

Those who took the initiative to sign up for the army thought that they had two brushes, at least they were strong men with the strength of two arms.

Some people are fighting for the future of the army, and some people are simpler, because they eat a lot of food, and they always feel hungry when they eat two meals at home.

The Zhanghe River and the Wei River flow into the South Canal to connect the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the vicinity of the river basin is the hometown of traditional martial arts, and the Huijiazi of Cangzhou is famous far and wide.

At this time, the demeanor of the "Red Flag Army" was displayed, and the benefits of this unit were reflected in the fact that there was no need for mobilization, and the number of strong men who took the initiative to sign up with the army reached 20,000 or 30,000.
