Chapter 581: Mice Worship Cats
On the official road by the canal.
This official road is very wide and flat, for the eastward crusade, the original requisition of countless people dug through the canal from the Yellow River to Zhuojun, and built a wide and flat avenue along the canal.
The avenue is wide and flat, can be ten zhang wide, and can be parallel to many cars and horses.
Luo Cheng led hundreds of his subordinates to protect Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, followed by his 2,000 pro-army, and further behind, there were more than 30,000 recruited refugees.
"It is said that the Duke of Chu is the best general to fight, I believe it now, I have come all the way to recruit so many homeless, but you see, tens of thousands of homeless people are rushing behind, but they are not chaotic at all, and they even have a bit of military taste."
Luo Cheng looked at the dark crowd and said, "Actually, it's not that complicated." ”
Everywhere he passed, Luo Cheng would recruit displaced people. But whether it is a person or a family, after registration, each person will be given a wooden plaque with their name engraved on it, a number on the plaque, and simple physical characteristics, such as original place of origin, height and age, skin color, birthmark, etc.
In addition, these brands will also have the seal and signature of the handler, and it is not easy to counterfeit, and Luo Cheng will also have a roster registered here.
After registering and receiving the identity card, Luo Cheng's people will divide these displaced people into camps according to their gender, age, strength, etc. It's not like a family can stay together, even if it's two couples, they have to be separated.
During the march, men and women were divided into battalions, and the strong and the thin were separated.
Special camps for healthy women, strong men, juvenile camps, and old camps have been established.
The young and strong men had to undertake the task of transporting grain and grass, and also took on the task of guarding, Luo Cheng asked them to cut down wood for guns, each carrying a wooden gun, and carrying a certain amount of food.
Every day, young people should be assigned to take turns to be responsible for escorting and following, and they should be responsible for assisting on duty at night.
When you set up camp, you are responsible for cutting down trees and setting up camp.
And the able-bodied women are mainly responsible for carrying food and cooking.
The teenagers also carried some food as much as they could.
Only women with young children and the elderly were allowed to follow the march every day without doing any physical work.
Even Luo Cheng would deliberately set aside some time every morning and evening to let his soldiers preach military rules and laws to them, and conduct some simple drills for them every day.
Although this kind of training will be difficult to train them into elite soldiers for a while, it can give them a preliminary organization and can gradually see them as a collective.
Even the young man and woman, the wooden spears in their hands were neatly arranged, and when they stabbed out together, they also had a bit of power.
And they can already understand some of the orders for advance and retreat, and understand the sound of the golden drum.
Yang Yin is right, from Luoyang to Hebei, Luo Cheng has been walking for more than a month, and there are already more than 30,000 people in his team of large refugees, including 10,000 young and strong.
These 10,000 people, it can be said that under the leadership of his 300 righteous followers, they have even been able to surpass some wandering bandit people's army.
However, Yang Jian felt that Luo Cheng was doing this too much, and now that the army was marching in Hebei, who would dare to attack and disturb them? With this kung fu practicing these mud-legged homeless people every day, it is better to speed up the march and rush to Liaodong as soon as possible.
Luo Cheng smiled and ignored His Royal Highness the King of Qi.
The sun is already setting.
The line has stopped.
The young men took firewood knives and axes to cut down and set up camps, which was stipulated by Luo Cheng, although he was in a hurry in the country, but he still asked to set up camps every day, which was not only for safety reasons, but also to train these people.
In the future, after they arrive in Liaodong, the environment there is not as good as that of the Central Plains, and they will also be organized into tunbao, tuntian farming, and even have to face the raids and raids of various tribes in the north.
The women went to the river to fetch water for cooking.
The teenagers were very diligent and began to help set up the camp.
Luo Cheng's guards began to drive truckloads of grain into the camps to distribute it.
Although these young men and women carried food on their backs, the food was not allowed to be used privately, and the rations in the camp every day had to be distributed by the white horses, and they were all fixed.
Those who dare to carry food privately will be expelled from the camp.
The camp is full of life, many children play in groups, the children's world is always simple, when they can eat, there are no more worries, and even so many friends play together every day, for them, it is simply the happiest thing.
Although some children are separated from their parents, their parents can come and see their children every two days.
The old people sat there in groups with their sleeves caged, enjoying the last bit of warmth of the sun that was about to set, knocking on their arms and legs, and chatting about the old things during the opening of the emperor and even the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi dynasties.
For Guanwai and Liaodong, it is also full of yearning.
After all, Luo Cheng's reputation is still good, he followed Luo Dashuai all the way, he had a full meal every day, and there was no chaos along the way, everyone always felt that this month was the most down-to-earth period in the past few years.
Yang Shanhui, the Taishou of Pingyuan County, brought the county soldiers and brought hundreds of stones of grain over.
This was only a county order in Pingyuan County at the beginning, Luo Cheng went to Pingyuan County to suppress bandits before, and temporarily promoted him to the county leader, this order was passed by the above, and he performed well after becoming a county official, and he has exterminated dozens of bandits large and small in Pingyuan County and the surrounding areas, so this time he was promoted to Taishou because of his merits.
However, if you want to say that you can be promoted to Taishou, it is also the way of Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng helped him say a few words, so the appointment of the Ministry of Officials was quickly approved.
"Knowing that the Chu State Highway has passed, I specially came to send some food, and the quantity is not much, only eight hundred stones." Yang Shan will be a little embarrassed.
"Eight hundred stones is already a lot, thank you Yang Tai for being careful."
Luo Cheng now has more than 30,000 people, and his food consumption is 400 stone a day, which is still to control the portion, on average, one person only has one liter of food a day, and he is barely hungry.
Eight hundred stones is only enough for two days, but it is really good, after all, when passing through other counties, they often give three or five hundred stones, and some even give one hundred and eighty stones.
But Luo Cheng has always been not annoyed if he gives less, and he will be grateful if he gives more, after all, when people give him food, it is all to give him Luo Cheng's face, and his team of displaced people is not arranged by the imperial court.
In these years of famine, no one else is obliged to give him precious food.
"Dashuai!"
"Someone is coming to deliver food again."
"Is there anyone else delivering food?" Luo Cheng was surprised, but when someone came over there, Luo Cheng was surprised to find that it was actually an old acquaintance.
"Wang Fubao?"
Wang Fubao was dressed in a wide robe and big sleeves, dressed like a great good man, he was a little nervous to greet Luo Cheng, "My eldest brother heard that the Chu Highway has passed, and there are many people who go to break through the customs with him, so he specially ordered me to send three thousand stone of grain to Zhuang Xing." ”
Luo Cheng looked at Wang Fubao, and then at Yang Shanhui, and couldn't help laughing.
