Li Zhi looked at Zu Dashou and was silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a long time, Li Zhicai said: "Zu Dashou, you and I had the love of fighting side by side in Jinzhou. Now that you are cornered, I will naturally not die without help. 20,000 of you are willing to go to me, and I am willing to accept you! ”

When Zu Dashou heard Li Zhi's words, his face flushed with excitement. He prostrate on the ground and kowtowed to Li Zhi, and said loudly: "Zu Dashou will serve the Duke of Jin Guo as the master in the future, and he is willing to break his bones for the Duke of Jinguo!" ”

"But!"

Li Zhi paused, and then said, "But in our army, we don't need your foot soldiers. How many horses are there in your army? How many foot soldiers are there? ”

Zu Dashou said on the ground: "Huijin Guogong, I have 12,000 foot soldiers and 8,000 horse troops under my command!" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Cavalry is not easy to train, my Huben army has always lacked cavalry, and so far there are only 5,000 cavalry of the Selective Frontier Division. Your 8,000 cavalry are willing to join the Tiger Division, yes. I added two additional cavalry regiments under the Breaker Division. After that, your eight thousand cavalry will be incorporated into these two regiments."

"Although the Guanning army is stronger than other Ming armies, it still has some ruffian habits. I will organize personnel to give these cavalrymen a political lesson, teach them to observe discipline, understand honor and disgrace, and reform their thinking. Before the renovation was successful, they only got two taels a month. After a year or two of successful transformation, the treatment was on par with other Tiger Ben soldiers. ”

"Your infantry, I will not be incorporated into the army, all disbanded. Those who are willing to stay under the command of this prince can join the reclamation team in Shandong and go to Shandong to reclaim the land and develop water conservancy. Once Shandong's reclamation team opened up new fields, they could turn into tenant farmers on the new fields. The treatment in the reclamation stage is one or two months' money, including three meals a day, and a small amount of fish and meat at each meal. ”

With the help of trawling technology, Li Zhi's marine fishing industry is now developing rapidly. This month's catch has caused the price of fish in Tianjin's coastal counties to plummet. The price of fish used to be about the same as that of pork and lamb, but now the price of fresh fish has fallen to two-thirds of that of pork.

If the fishing industry continues to develop in this way, it has the momentum of making the people in Li Zhiling's territory eat fish and meat every day.

Li Zhi now equips the reclamation team with fish and meat to make meat dishes, and the cost is controllable.

Zu Dashou didn't expect Li Zhi to dismiss the 12,000 veterans who had been in the army for a long time with a stroke of his pen, and couldn't help but say: "Grandpa Guo, those veterans are all good shelf. All of them have been practicing for several years, and many of them have seen blood..."

Li Zhi said: "Bengong's troops are completely different from your troops, and the infantry recruited by Bengong is completely different from your infantry. That's it. ”

Zu Dashou said helplessly: "It's all up to Grandpa Guo." ”

Li Zhi finally said: "As for your personal arrangement... You are a veteran who has been in battle for a long time, and you have experience, so naturally you can't start from the grassroots level. But you have just defected to me, and you can't be in a high position all of a sudden. You can be the commander of the regiment and lead one of the two new cavalry regiments. ”

"Although the commander of the cavalry regiment has the right to command and train, in peacetime there are discipline officers in the army to manage the discipline, and there is also a salary accountant to pay the salary. The power of the regiment commander is much worse than that of the general soldier who eats empty pay and drinks the blood of the soldiers at will. ”

"The head of the regiment has a monthly salary of seventy taels. How is it? ”

Zu Dashou was very happy when he heard Li Zhi's words.

He was desperate and came to Li Zhi just to save his life. Li Zhi was willing to let him continue to be the regiment commander and lead the cavalry, and of course he was twelve points happy. Although the head of the regiment is only seventy taels a month, and his power position is much worse than before, after all, he is the head of 4,000 people, and he is still a well-known military attaché.

What's more, with Zu Dashou's spicy eyes, he feels that Li Zhi's future is far from stopping at a Jin Guogong. If he can join Li Zhi's camp as the head of the regiment, his future prospects will inevitably rise with Li Zhi's development. Maybe in a few years, he will be able to become a general soldier again.

Zu Dashou shouted loudly: "Zu Dashou is willing to saddle the horse before and after the prince of Jinguo, and the horse leather shroud!" ”

Li Zhi stepped forward to help Zu Dashou and said with a smile: "Commander Zu, in the future, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiment will depend on your work!" ”

Zu Dashou stood up and wiped away the tears on his face and bowed to Li Zhi.

He suddenly thought of something, and said: "This time, the Guanning army entered the customs, and more than 600,000 people in western Liaoning entered the customs with the army. Most of these people are Liao people who fled from Liaodong to Liaoxi decades ago, and they are very pitiful. At this time, the Tatars occupied Liaoxi, and more than 600,000 people were homeless, hoping that the Duke of Jin Guo could take them in. ”

Hearing Zu Dashou's words, Li Zhi was a little speechless.

This ancestor Dashou regarded himself as an almighty robot cat? Why do you find yourself in all kinds of troubles?

It costs a lot of money to resettle 600,000 people, but as long as they are settled, these people are also valuable manpower. In the future, when attacking the Tatars, these Liao people can also be used as road guides.

Li Zhi took a breath and said: "Let's go to Shandong to open up the wasteland, my father-in-law is responsible for the food, and then each person will give one or two months' money, and after opening up the new field, these people will be the tenant farmers of my father." ”

Shi Hanzhang, the governor of Denglai, looked at the rock-solid Dengzhou City and sighed.

Unexpectedly, the more than 10,000 militiamen temporarily recruited by Li Zhi were so brave and defended Dengzhou City as if it were an impregnable wall.

Shi Hanzhang secretly sent his family out of the city some time ago, and then as soon as Li Zhi's tiger army withdrew, he mobilized troops and horses to attack Dengzhou City. Unexpectedly, after half a month, the half-foot city wall was not knocked down.

The militia on the city walls were extremely united, and they were like a strong force under the command of a hundred Tiger Army officers. Li Zhi has captured countless military funds over the years, and the militia on the city wall are all wearing chain mail. Shi Hanzhang even suspected that even if he went out of the city to fight, the soldiers of Denglai Town Guard were not the opponents of these militias.

Today, we attacked the city of Dengju, which lasted for a day, but the 15,000 people who attacked the city still collapsed. These routs finally gathered in front of Shi Hanzhang's Chinese army, and their morale was crumbling.

Shi Hanzhang glared angrily at the general soldier of Denglai and scolded loudly: "Liu Chengxing! How did you bring this soldier? ”

The general soldier of Denglai cried and was speechless. Denglai Town is not a border town, where is there any training on weekdays? On weekdays, the officers ate empty salaries and drank the blood of the soldiers, and the army was full of old and weak. In fact, for a military town like Denglai Town, the standard for appointing officers is basically to see if the money is in place, and the relationship is ironclad.

In such a military town, how can the soldiers have combat effectiveness?

The governor blamed himself for not governing the army strictly, which was too embarrassing for himself.

Shi Hanzhang was angry there, and suddenly saw a fast horse in front of him rushing into the Chinese army camp in embarrassment.

"Lord Futai! Futai-sama! Oops! Li Zhi defeated Guan Ning's army! The Guan Ning army fled to Shanhaiguan in embarrassment! ”

Seeing this messenger shouting so loudly, Shi Hanzhang secretly said that it was not good.

Sure enough, hearing the words of this messenger, there was a sudden loud bang in the ranks of the Denglai army near Shi Hanzhang. The soldiers shouted and shoved, desperately trying to flee into the distance. The local army, which had little fighting spirit, fled in all directions like flies without heads.

The 20,000 local army of Denglai collapsed because of the messenger's words.
