The two of them have finalized some details one after another, such as grain and grass scheduling, logistics and other details, everyone knows that what is fought in the war is not logistics, so Zhang Qiang needs to discuss these details with Jin Sheng, the civil official in charge of civil affairs, because this requires Jin Sheng to mobilize the people and transfer these things for him, and Zhou Congee sent the county garrisons to escort, guard and protect these people.

The next is the generals who sent troops this time, because Zhang Qiang is still facing strong military pressure from the Qing army in the east, northeast, north, northwest, west, and other directions, so this time he can't bring all the generals and troops out, but he has to leave most of the troops and generals to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to attack, and after taking the enemy's territory, people also need to sit and guard various places, so this has to be carefully discussed, and it can't be as casual as when Zhang Qiang only owned one Wuyi County.

Zhang Qiang looked at the map and muttered: "In the northwest, although the enemy in the west does not have the ability or motivation to attack us for a while, but Wei Wuji has to face pressure from Quzhou and Chuzhou, Wei Wuji's troops cannot be mobilized, and Wei Wuji can only stay and take command." ”

"Lin Cheng in the north can't be completely trusted this person, transfer Mi Chun to the north, let him take care of the north and the northeast, the east and the northeast, and let Mi Lin guard alone, so to speak, directly attack the Taizhou Mansion and the place where we border from the south, but the south also has to leave someone to guard this node, Hu Kui has been following me for so long, he is a talent, just leave him."

Zhang Qiang's fingers crossed the map, and finally tapped the map a few times, "The first part of the Lin Yangsheng Department of Tiaoyunxi County went south, leaving a thousand households under the command of Mi Chun to guard Lanxi County, Lin Yangyang and his personal guards, as well as two hundred households of troops came to Jinhua Mansion to assemble, transferred the strength of two thousand households of Du Ge's department, plus his personal guards went to Yongkang County to assemble, Hu Kui's troops did not move, and He Jin's troops also left a thousand households of troops to guard Yongkang County, and the troops of the department and two hundred households were waiting for the army, When the time comes, troops will be sent south from Yongkang County. ”

Jin Sheng said: "That Xuanyuan Dragon Flying Department?" ”

Zhang Qiang said: "Xuanyuan Dragon Flying Department, leaving two thousand households of troops, he took his own personal guards and two hundred households of troops south to Yongkang County. His forces were under the command of Mirin. ”

In this way, Zhang Qiang's expedition this time, the cronies will also fly a Xuanyuan Dragon, plus a thousand households in the Zhao Siyang Artillery Battalion that has just been received, barely half of the cronies, after all, the time for the two of them to get along is still very short, although Du Ge Zhang Qiang entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, it is because he is You Haibo's family, and he has cooperated well with him before, and he is very optimistic about him.

The troops of this expedition, Zhang Qiang's headquarters, 2,000 firecrackers, 2,000 thousand households, plus two hundred cavalry troops stationed in Wucheng, and his own personal cavalry guards, nearly 3,000 troops.

Zhao Siyang's artillery battalion is less than 1,000, and more than 900 artillery is more than 3,000 and nearly 4,000 troops.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qiang decided to transfer a part of the troops of each unit, Wei Wuji's sword player transferred two hundred households, and his own firecracker soldiers supplemented the past one hundred households, and let him recruit another hundred young men from the people to train by himself to replenish his lost troops.

There is no need to supplement the three hundred households of archers from Mi Lin, because he is still in charge of Xuanyuan Longfei's spear troops, the strength of two thousand households, plus his own strength of two thousand households, is almost five thousand people, and the transfer of a little bit will only make his troops a few hundred less.

Mi Chun dispatched a crossbowman unit of 100 households.

These troops were handed over to Xuanyuan Longfei under the command of six hundred households, plus Xuanyuan Longfei's two hundred households and the pro-soldier guards, eight hundred households, which is also two thousand thousand households, a lot.

Together with He Jinlin's cultivation department, there are more than 600 people each, and the total strength of the two people is more than 1,200 troops.

Du Ge transferred two thousand troops, and Zhang Qiang suddenly found that he had actually transferred most of his troops, which was more than 9,000 and nearly 10,000 troops.

To ensure the food, drink, equipment, weapons, and warfare of these people, at least 10,000 people are needed, and now he has a headache.

Can the people of Jinhua Mansion, which is in ruins waiting to be rebuilt and continue to be stable, accept such a heavy burden.

They are all refugees who have just returned, or exiled from other places, and after a few days of stability, the centripetal force of their own righteous military palace is not too strong, so tossing them so much, will they let them escape again?

Zhang Qiang told Jin Sheng about this worry, and Jin Sheng: "My lord, Xia Guan was worried about these at the beginning, so Xia Guan did not recommend that you send troops, but suggested that you develop steadily, and now it is early winter, and the army is on the march, which is a huge burden for the people." ”

Zhang Qiang frowned and paced in the lobby.

Zhou Congee walked in, Jin Sheng told him what the previous two were agreed upon, Zhou Congee said: "My lord, don't you need to worry about this, don't we still have tens of thousands of captives?" ”

Zhang Qiang nodded at him slightly, and also understood what Zhou Congee was going to say.

Zhou Congee said: "My lord, how did we manage the captives before?" ”

Zhang Qiang didn't speak, and Zhou Congee asked and answered to himself, "The crime is extremely heinous, working to death, the crime is serious, after work, give them hope, complete the task, give rewards, exceed the task, for three consecutive months, if they perform well, they will be pardoned for one year of imprisonment, and there will be a chance once a year, and it will be remembered for a hundred years." ”

Jin Sheng didn't care about this, after listening to this condition, the muscles on his face jumped a few times, his mouth pouted a few times, his eyes wandered, and he still slandered Zhang Qiang in his heart, is this called leniency and benevolence?

Zhang Qiang doesn't think so, although it is just a faint hope, but in the case of such intense labor work, as long as they work hard for three months, they can reduce their workload, and there is hope to be released, which can't help but let them work hard to fight for it, and it is better to have hope than no hope.

This is a serious crime, but what about the lesser crimes?

Those who performed well for three months in succession were transferred to the group leader of the prisoner camp group, responsible for supervising the labor of other prisoners.

What about those who were originally just surrendered and forced to fight with the Ming army? At the beginning, he was appointed as an overseer, and he was still at the level of squad leader.

The Ming army surrendered to the army, performed well for a few months, and after screening, and wanted to serve the righteous army, he was immediately re-educated, and then added to the garrison army in various places, and became a soldier of the righteous army.

This is one of Zhang Qiang's current sources of soldiers, and it is also a very important source of soldiers.

Even some Han military banners, who behaved well and were themselves ordinary people, were recruited as rebel soldiers.

Zhou Congee said: "My lord, we can transfer 5,000 such captives to participate in the transportation of baggage, grain and grass supply tasks, and then mobilize 2,000 young and strong people from Jinhua Mansion City, and then transfer some 2,000 young and strong people from other counties, a total of 9,000 people, we can ensure the combat mission of your large army."

In fact, they can be arranged to the captured county seat one after another in the next period of time, serving as a supplement to the baggage troops or county guard soldiers, so as to ensure that when the army attacks, it will not dilute the strength of the troops because it is getting farther and farther away, and there are more and more places that need to be guarded.

Of course, they and my escort garrison alone are not enough to guard them, and you need to send at least one thousand households to guard them. Prevent the enemy from attacking them. ”

Zhang Qiang thought about it, the troops of a thousand households commanded by Zhou Congee could not move, that was the guard strength of Jinhua Mansion City, and after he left, there would be one thousand households and a garrison force left in Jinhua Mansion City.

And the garrison also needs to escort these grain and grass, baggage, and the captive soldiers to escort themselves with food and grass supplies. Zhang Qiang glanced at the map and thought about it,

In this way, from Xuanyuan Longfei's troops, you will be transferred two hundred households to supplement the strength of Fucheng.
