"Calculate the time, the three thousand horsemen led by the three brothers of the Xue family should also cross the sea to Shandong, right?" Jiedu envoy Shihou Mo Chen Yi sat with Luo Cheng and drank tea.

"Well, Wang Junkuo sent a message back, saying that Wanjun and they have landed in Gaomi Dalaoshan Bay." Luo Cheng now arranges Zhang Liang and Wang Junkuo's two henchmen in the Central Plains, Zhang Liang is now going to Xijing Daxing, and Wang Junkuo is staying in Henan.

"Dashuai thinks that the imperial court has set up this new Shandong Road, is it good or bad?"

"Of course it's a good thing, especially for us." The news of the new opening of the Eastern Road by the imperial court was transmitted back by Zhang Liang and Wang Junkuo, and Luo Cheng was very happy to hear the news. Although the envoy of the festival is to protect the child, the deputy envoy is his teacher Zhang Xutuo, not to mention that the child is still driving in Xijing, and Shandong Road is actually led by Zhang Xutuo.

And his father was originally only a county governor of Donglai County, but this time he was also awarded the governor of Shandong Province and the governor of Donglai County. Luo Cheng felt that these changes were very subtle, and they could be regarded as the four prime ministers of the imperial court to win over his Luo family, or temporarily appease.

"In this way, now the imperial court is two capitals, three mansions, seven sections, and the seven capitals of the governor's mansion plus thirteen provinces, the handsome you Jiezhen Andong unified 50,000 loyal military troops, Yanguo Gongjie Zhen Annan unified 20,004 towns navy, and Xiangyang Houjie calmed Xiangtong 24,000 Xuanwu Army, and now Lingshi and Lingzun also unified the Shandong Dao Weiwu Army, seven towns and festivals, and four towns have also been obtained."

The seven envoys of the world, the seven capital governors, these critical border places, the Luo family has almost controlled the four towns, holding more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

This strength is indeed amazing.

Thinking about it, perhaps it was because of the jealousy of the strength of the Luo family's uncle and nephew that the four ministers of the imperial court let Zhang Xutuo be the commander of Shandong Town this time.

"The town navy is far away in Jiaozhi in the south of the sky, and the Xiangdao Xuanwu Army is guarding the north of the Daibei, but the military strength has not recovered. As for the mighty army of Shandong Province, not to mention that Laihu'er is the marshal, even its mighty army is basically just a township brave regiment now. Luo Cheng was not confused by the four towns on the surface.

"Yes, it's not time yet." Hou Mo Chen Yi nodded, if you add Luo Cheng's other teacher, that is, his old boss Hebei Province to pacify Li Jing, then Luo Cheng's strength is even stronger, if you count the Huainan Town where Luo Cheng's concubine served his father Li Yuan, it is the exclusive possession of the Six Dao.

It's just that Hou Mo Chen Yi is also a good person, and the teacher must be famous.

Otherwise, Li Yuan, Li Jing and others may not support Luo Cheng.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"I think the Xue family brothers led 3,000 light horsemen south to Shandong, this move is very good. It can not only test the attitude of the imperial court towards our loyal army, but also take the opportunity to plant forces in Shandong, once necessary, our loyal army can cross the sea and land in Shandong, and General Xue Shao will respond. ”

"It's too early to talk about that." Luo Chengdao.

After sending three people to lead three thousand light horsemen south to Shandong, Luo Cheng did not make any other moves. Regarding the situation in the Central Plains, he sent Zhang Liang and Wang Junkuo to pay close attention.

At this time, the spring flowers are blooming, and the land of Liaodong is also full of vitality.

Although the spring in the north came a little later, everyone can finally live on the fire kang without having to spend all day at home. Taking advantage of the good weather, Luo Cheng also sent a document to send the rangers of the Yamen to ride fast horses to inform the counties and counties of Jiedu, so that they could prepare for spring ploughing and not miss the agricultural time.

As a result, throughout the spring, the six counties and eighteen counties in eastern Liaodong are full of a busy season of spring ploughing.

There are 50,000 government soldiers and 49,000 county soldiers, a total of 100,000 horses, and now there is no need to enter Beijing to stay in the guards, and there is no need to go to other border towns to fight and guard, just guard the town. Therefore, Luo Cheng made up the government soldiers and county soldiers in the town four times.

Once in March, once a year.

is a government soldier, who needs to be on duty once a year, for three months at a time. In these three months, he undertook the task of military service and guarding, and more than 51,000 government soldiers and more than 12,000 troops have been stationed in military towns and forts.

However, Luo Cheng divided the more than 12,000 soldiers into two parts, one for the garrison town and the other for training Tuntian.

In fact, the nature of the county soldiers is the same as that of the government soldiers, they are also granted the same land, and they also have to prepare some ordnance, the difference is that one is registered in the imperial court military department and the twelve guards, and they are official government soldiers with military registration. The county soldiers belong to the local armed forces, and the county soldiers in the Central Plains are a kind of Yao service, but in Liaodong, Luo Cheng actually treats the county soldiers as government soldiers, but they are just covering people's eyes, and they can be said to be no different from the government soldiers.

The same soldier is divided into two parts once a year, three months, and one for training.

In fact, in Andong Province, the real county soldiers like the Central Plains are actually the soil regiments of each county, each county has a soil regiment, and there are quite a few of them, and the same is the implementation of the rotation system, and the young and strong people in the selected counties are the soil regiments, which are trained for two months in the spring and winter every year, and there will be a small number of soil regiments responsible for assisting in city defense, maintaining law and order, and patrolling the roads.

In the counties, there is also a system of township soldiers, they are no different from the local regiments, the only difference is that the township soldiers do not go out of the county border, and they also have to train for two months a year. In the countryside, there are also militias.

In short, in the whole Andong Province, Luo Cheng implemented the system of all the soldiers, every man who has reached the age of 16 must join the entire military system, the young, old and weak, join the militia system and the township soldier system, the strong join the militia, and those who are strong and more reliable and innocent can join the county soldier system.

Even those Goguryeo captives, Turkic captives, exiled criminals, etc., in Liaodong, the young and strong among them also had to undergo some training in queues and spears during the slack time. In the event of battle, they may also be called up to help defend the city or to transport heavy food and grass.

The militiamen generally only practiced spears, the village soldiers also practiced swords and shields, and the county soldiers received the same full training as the normal government soldiers.

In the busy season of spring ploughing, except for the government soldiers, who still maintain a quarter of the soldiers on duty to garrison the town fort, the rest of the county soldiers, soil regiments, township soldiers, and militia have all stopped training and are busy for spring ploughing.

Not only did the men drive the cattle and horses to the fields, but even the women and children helped in the fields.

Winter wheat planted in autumn will be harvested in May and summer, but there will still be some fields that will be cultivated in spring, some because of rotational fallow land, and some will be interplanted with soybeans in the wheat fields.

In the fields, there are a lot of slaves who are also caught in it to cultivate, their bodies are branded with their masters, and slaves in Liaodong cannot escape, all towns and counties have relevant cards, customs clearance requires documents, and even everyone has to carry their own identity cards.

Slaves must not only have documents when they leave the county, but also have their masters to carry them, otherwise they will be regarded as fugitive slaves, and they will end up in a very good situation.
