Although the Shouzhou army occupies an absolute advantage in the scale of soldiers and horses, this time with the prestige of Hongzepu and Zhongli's great victory, Liang Guo replenished a large number of grain and materials, and the combat effectiveness and morale recovered quickly, but the soldiers and horses originally called by the Tangyi soldiers were mainly based on the old troops of the Zuoguang German Army and the elite of Xuzhou, and the combat effectiveness was stronger, and the armor and weapons were more sophisticated.

However, with the expansion of the scale of the war and the extension of time, especially in the middle and later stages, when the troops were to be pushed north along the tributaries of the north bank of the Chuhe River to achieve the intention of counter-encircling Chuzhou City, it was necessary to integrate the untrained young people on the north bank into the battalion, and the supply of armor and weapons was also weakened due to the drastic expansion of the scale of soldiers and horses, and the situation would become bloody and cruel.

The subsequent resettlement and sorting of displaced people must be extremely meticulous to ensure that the high morale of the Tangyi soldiers is maintained in the cruel war.

To put it more cruelly and realistically, only by resettle the displaced people well, can the displaced teenagers have the opportunity to grow into qualified soldiers and become the reserve supplementary force of the Tangyi soldiers.

At present, the imperial court Xu Tangyi has 20,000 soldiers, Han Qian plans to recruit 2,000 elites from Xuzhou, 2,000 elites from the Chishan Society, and the rest of the temporarily recruited elites from the displaced people who have been admitted to Tangyi City - as for the remnants of the sailors who are still in the Wujian Mountains at this time, Han Qian will treat them as if they do not exist, and they will not occupy the shortage of troops in his hands for the time being.

The Jiangzhou soldiers led by Zhou Yi and the Guangde soldiers and Guangde Minyong led by Chen Jingzhou, they are all local state soldiers and people's husbands, and the annual conscription period is three months, and the war needs to be extended, and it will also be deducted from the future conscription, and they will return to their hometowns when the war situation eases down at the latest.

Besides, the vast majority of them have families and businesses in Jiangzhou and Guangde, even if they are grateful for Han Qian's kindness, but for the vast majority of ordinary people, it is difficult to give up their families to die in order to repay this kindness.

In order to ensure that the minds of the Chishan congregation were not separated, Han Qian would not even seek justice for them for the time being.

In addition to the old department of the Zuo Guangde army other than the Chishan congregation, Han Qian can only recruit some elites who are willing to make meritorious contributions to the battalion as military attachés, and they will also lead a group of veterans to join the Tangyi army, but they can't expect to return to the peak of the Zuo Guangde army - even if Chen Jingzhou is transferred out of Guangde Mansion one day, this can also ensure that Han Qian's influence in Guangde Mansion will not be weakened.

Of course, with the help of Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou, the generals from the cottage forces will also be able to become one of the military attaches and soldiers of Tangyi soldiers, and the number of soldiers cannot be counted on too much.

At present, the only way to really use it as a source of large-scale recruitment is to evacuate the more than 80,000 displaced people who retreated south to Tangyi City in time for the time being, they have no way to retreat, they have no choice, they want themselves and their families to eat enough, not to starve to death, and more than 20,000 strong people have to fight with their lives.

Considering that the Shouzhou Army will not give him the opportunity to expand the army calmly, and he must fight for control of the Chuhe River under the eyes and nose of the Shouzhou Army, it is impossible for the pace of the follow-up war to slow down, and it will even become more and more cruel - in fact, a large number of materials from the Liang State crossed the Huai River to the south and transported them into Huo, Shou, Chao, Chu, and Hao Prefectures, and it will take time to completely transform them into combat effectiveness

。

The materials imported by the Liang State in the early stage were mainly grain, grain and cloth, mainly to alleviate the once extremely serious hunger and cold of the Shouzhou army and civilians, but the level of armor and ordnance and other equipment of the Shouzhou army was still in a very low state.

Wen Bo led the elite of the Chaozhou army to attack the camp on the north bank, and the offensive was extremely fierce a few days ago, but the offensive organized two days before the retreat, the generals even lacked the necessary arrows, and the casualties were naturally much greater than those of the Tangyi soldiers.

Han Qian must also seize and make good use of this rare opportunity, and will not delay until the Tangyi soldiers are fully trained and mature before launching an offensive.

Cruel, it was destined to be followed by a series of bitter wars of attrition.

And the war of attrition is beneficial to the Tangyi soldiers as a whole, after all, the war of attrition in the early stage of the Tangyi soldiers is to consume the elite veterans of the Shouzhou army with new pawns - if this series of wars that are destined to happen are delayed for more than half a year, and the large number of materials imported by the Liang State will be created by the Shouzhou army A large number of armor, ordnance and war shows, so that the Shouzhou army will be more refined, and the advantage of the Tangyi soldiers will no longer exist.

The next war will be fought, and it will be fought in full swing, but there are only more than 20,000 strong men among the displaced people on the north bank, which is far from enough consumption.

Han Qian also needed more sufficient troops to supplement the shortage of Tangyi soldiers.

The conditions he has now set are either that the Privy Council will set aside more than 14,000 military households from the cantonment military palaces that are currently in short supply as a source of soldiers for the recruitment of Tangyi soldiers, or he will be allowed to recruit more than 14,000 slaves and maids from all over the country to reclaim the north shore of the barren land......

At present, he has no spokesperson above the court, and he doesn't want to be too deeply tied to Lu Qingxia's side, so he needs Han Daoming to be above the court and strive for various favorable conditions for the Tangyi soldiers.

Of course, the Han family's efforts to finance the construction of the Yao Dike on the north bank and the reclamation of new fields can also be regarded as a condition that can be discussed with other ministers of the court.

For the children within the five suits of the Han family, those who have the courage to move their families to the north can serve as officials or buy family businesses in Tangyi, Puyang, Tingshan, Liyang, and Wushou; Those who want to continue to stay in Xuan and She prefectures can only be given ration fields after the Xi tribe goes out.

The Han family's fields and houses in Xuan and She prefectures must be replaced with money and grain to fully support the war on the north bank, and all the more than 1,000 slaves and maids of the Han family will also be the first to move to the north bank.

This process must be fast, the more fierce the offensive organized by the Tangyi soldiers in the early stage, the more obvious the advantage, and when the Shouzhou army eases up, there are enough materials to build large-scale barracks along the tributaries of the north bank of the Chuhe River, and the Tangyi soldiers' front will be contained.

The speed of the replacement of the field house may not be fast, and you can mortgage it to go out to find a large household to borrow money and grain, especially the family clan valve with children stranded in Tangyi, which can and should be relatively easy to do the work.

Even if it was a showdown with the imperial court, the Han family guarded the northern gateway to the imperial capital, and all the bankrupt assets were bet on Tangyi, some of the methods were more intense, and there was nothing to talk about.

Han Qian asked the other generals to withdraw for the time being, leaving only Feng Yi and a few people in the big tent, and he patiently told Han Daoming and Han Daochang about his thoughts on the follow-up war these days, and said: "To achieve this step, it is inseparable from the full support of the Han family; Otherwise, I may have a hard time fighting Liyang, and when the time comes, I may consider building Wushou City at the southwest foot of the Great Thorn Mountain to maintain a confrontational posture, and I will not rush forward again! ”

Han Daoming pondered for a long time before he raised his head, stared at Han Qian with his eyes and said, "I only have."

One requirement is that Cheng Meng and Zhiyong should stay in Tangyi as officials. ”

"There are two missing in the Tangyi army to join the army, and the second brother-in-law is idle in Beijing, so he can stay and serve directly, without any hindrance; And the eldest brother only needs to send a letter to Lord Huang, and this matter can be decided,"

Han Qian didn't mind that Han Chengmeng and Chen Zhiyong stayed in Tangyi as representatives of the Han family, so he didn't hesitate, so he nodded and agreed.

Chen Zhiyong has a lazy temperament, does not like official careers, is good at poetry and songs, and Feng Yi is a pair, willing to be in Tangyi, you can give him a noble but idle dispatch; And Han Chengmeng is the longest among the brothers of his generation, nearly forty years old, good at officials, and when the people in Sizhou are in turmoil, he intends to secretly communicate with them, he can stay in Tangyi, Han Qian can even rely on his arms to help, and he will not refuse.

Speaking of this, Han Qian glanced at Han Duan again and said,

"If the fourth brother wants to come to Tangyi, the head of the five counties can choose one of them; Even if he stays in Beijing, when he goes deep into the academy to manage the affairs of the officials, he will be of great use in the future......"

Han Duan stood aside, but Uncle Han Daoming did not mention his name, of course Han Qian knew that he was afraid that he still resented Han Duan, but many people proposed to castrate Han Jun and forge evidence that he had not been able to have sex since he was a child, so as to eliminate the hidden danger, Han Qian needed someone to attract Han Jun's hatred.

Han Qian also needed someone who could help him keep an eye on Han Jun, lest Han Jun would be resentful and do something behind his back, or be bribed by someone with a heart.

Han Duan is clearly the right person for this.

Uncle Han Daoming made a decision, Han Duan thought that he would be kicked aside because of the old matter, and Han Chengmeng, Han Jianji, Qiao Weiyan, Chen Zhiyong and others stood in front of the stage on behalf of Han, but when he was depressed, he didn't expect Han Qian to promise to serve as a county commander or cultivate him in the six ministries.

Of course, watching the battle on the south bank in the past few days, Han Duan was terrified.

He didn't know that it would take a few rounds to make it possible for the Tangyi soldiers to gain a foothold on both sides of the Chu River.

He did not expect to be the county commander of Tangyi, the most important city on the north bank, nor did he have the courage or ability to organize the army and civilians to build new cities in Puyang, Wushou, and Tingshan, let alone participate in the subsequent battle to capture Liyang.

For him, the most suitable thing is to stay in the six ministries and departments to develop.

Han Duan cautiously said that he was willing to stay in Jinling, thinking that he would respond.

"Second uncle, what do you think?" Han Qian looked at Han Daochang and asked.

Han Daochang saw that Han Qian did not hold a grudge against the past, and his heart was naturally excited, but thinking of Han Duan's development, he also felt that he should be in the six ministries.

On the one hand, Han Qian's elite soldiers and strong generals have become a climate, and it is difficult for Han Duan to become a climate when he is a general outside, on the other hand, Han Jun is about to be "abolished", the eldest is nearly sixty years old, and the court needs to cultivate a successor in the court, so it is naturally the best to stay in Han Duan in the six ministries.

Only in this way can the Han family maintain a stable pattern of "internal and external generals" in Dachu for a long time in the future.

Han Daochang then suggested that after Han Jun returned to Jinling City, he would directly recuperate at home after returning to Jinling City, and claimed that Han Qian was in charge of the military on the north bank, and the Han family deliberately arranged it in order to avoid suspicion, and then further asked Han Jun to resign from the post of general of the guard and pro-army Du Yuhou, in fact, Han Jun could take this opportunity to recuperate from his dark wounds.

"I'll go back to Jinling directly today, you go to Tangyi to see Jun'er and tell everything!" Han Daoming suddenly looked a few years old, Xiao Se said.
