Half a month later, Yanmen County.

"General! The Right Army Division, please return to the Yin Pavilion as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. ”

Liu Fan was handling military affairs in the Xiahu Han Army barracks, and a small official entered the account and reported to him.

"Got it."

Liu Fan responded calmly. This is the third time Jia Xu has sent someone to urge him.

He already knew about Senan's situation, and countless homeless people poured into Yanmen. It has caused a great burden on Yanmen.

The exiles came to him for his name, and he would naturally give the people a place to live and live.

He had already ordered Cai Yong, Zhang Jun and others to use the military rations of Tiecheng to help the displaced people.

He also ordered Cai Yong to buy grain from the Yanmen family. He also sent people to Taiyuan and other counties to buy grain from the Haoqiang family.

The Yanmen family sold him grain in a decent manner.

And Taiyuan Haoqiang wantonly raised the grain family, deliberately taking advantage of the fire to rob. But Liu Fan had to buy food again.

Liu Fan can only record the hateful behavior of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Daijun, and Xihe Haoqiang families.

Wait until he settles the situation down, and then settle accounts with them.

He has gold, silver and jewelry, even the palace does not have his wealth. But he was not willing to accept this kind of loss.

Swallow him as much as he wants, he wants to let the Haoqiang family spit it out.

The wealth he obtained in Xianbei Shan Yuting was enough to support an army of 100,000 for ten years.

But this idea is too optimistic, the war reward, the war pension, this is the biggest consumption of the war.

If these two points are not properly handled, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the morale of the army, and the soldiers will not dare to fight the battlefield, because they have worries about the future, and they also have the frustration of not being rewarded like dead wood.

If the army has no salaries, or even enough to eat, a mutiny is inevitable. Unless it is a mourner with tenacious faith.

The reason why Jia Xu repeatedly urged Liu Fan to return to the Yin Pavilion was because he wanted Liu Fan to come forward to stabilize the people's hearts.

Liu Fan is responsible for making the main decisions on the resettlement of displaced people.

A steady stream of displaced people came to Yanmen. The more this kind of thing drags on, the more annoying it becomes.

Liu Fan mobilized 9,000 "cavalry infantry" from Xu Huang's department, 6,000 cavalry from Zhao Yun's department, 3,500 Yinshan iron cavalry from Guan Yu's department, and nearly 20,000 soldiers hoarded in Woyang, with grain and grass ready, ready to attack Dingxiang at any time.

There were 20,000 newly recruited soldiers stationed on the side of Xia Lake, trained by Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao.

Some of these soldiers are people from all over Yanmen, some are homeless people who come to Yanmen, and some are strong men from Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, and Daijun.

They are all strong and able-bodied, selected from the land of elite soldiers.

Since they were all new soldiers, Liu Fan temporarily stationed them all in Xiahu.

These soldiers were armed, bows and arrows, but had no armor.

Liu Fan ordered Shen Tugang to temporarily focus on making armor and arming armor for the new army.

The armor was easier to cast than the fish scale armor, and it was also the common armor of the Han army in this era.

There are many kinds of fish scale armor, and there are also many levels. The more delicate the scale armor, the stronger the protection.

Many soldiers of the Han army wore fish scale armor, and the kind of fish scale armor was rough and no different from the armor, and even the defense was not as good as the armor.

The fish scale armor worn by Yulin and Tiger Ben is the real fish scale armor.

The armor of the armor is arranged in a positive arrangement, without the tightness of the fish scale armor, nor the flexibility of the fish scale armor, and it is easier for the armor to be picked apart by spears and spears.

But Liu Fan didn't want to be full, it would take several years to create 20,000 sets of real fish scale armor, so he simply made 20,000 sets of armor first.

Most of the weapons of the new army came from the spoils of war, and these weapons had to be slowly replaced, and eventually replaced with the standard weapons of the Han army.

In addition, Liu Fan ordered Shentu Steel to manufacture horse lances.

The front end of the horse lance is similar to a short sword, which can be chopped and sharpened, and there is usually a lingering complex under the blade, so that the horse will not penetrate the opponent when charging at high speed.

There is a lot of attention to in the horse lance. The lance is not at all like the wooden pole used in the rifle, but the main trunk of the finest toughness is taken and peeled into a uniform thickness and glued.

The toughest wood is the most used for bows, followed by mulberry, oak, and rattan, and the worst is also made of bamboo. Soak the fine scorn in oil repeatedly. The bubble is no longer deformed, no longer cracked, and the first step has been completed.

This process takes almost a year, after which the strips are removed and dried in the shade for several months. After gluing with high-quality glue paint into a thick, eight feet long, the outer layer is wrapped around hemp rope. Wait for the hemp rope to dry thoroughly, apply raw lacquer, and wrap it in arrowroot cloth.

The kudzu cloth is lacquered, dried and wrapped in a layer, until it is cut with a knife, and the mallet makes a metallic sound, but it does not crack, so it is qualified. Then go to its head and tail, truncated to about six zhang. The front is equipped with a stainless steel lance, and the rear is a red copper lance.

After continuous adjustment, the qualified standard is to use a hemp rope to hang at the tail of the lance two feet, and the whole Zhangba horse lance can be in mid-air like a weighing rod at both ends without falling. In this way, the military commander can ride on the horse, so that he can keep the tip of the lance forward without the slightest effort.

The resulting lance is light, tough, and strong. Generals can charge with horsepower, or swing them in melee combat. It's just that the whole lance takes three years, and the success rate is only 40%, so the cost is surprisingly high. Since the Han and Tang dynasties, the horse lance has always been a symbol of the generals from the family.

This kind of thing was a very taboo weapon in the military of all ages. The process is complicated, but it is not difficult, but it takes a lot of money and up to three years to complete a horse lance. In the end, it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty.

If it is assembled into the whole army, it is a fool's dream. But with only 300 of them, Liu Fan can still afford them.

After three years, even if he could only make a hundred lances, he would still earn them, and he could reward them to meritorious soldiers to boost morale.

After the officials left, Liu Fan called Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, explained to them, and then instructed the guards to prepare to leave Xiahu.

Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao patted their chests and guaranteed that they would live up to the expectations of the lord, so that the new army could become elite cavalry as soon as possible and could go into battle to kill the enemy.

During this period of time, he was very peaceful, and the Xianbei captives were also very peaceful.

They herded millions of cattle and sheep for Liu Fan, raised horses and trained horses. Just like ordinary herdsmen.

Liu Fan has been thinking about why Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, can be respected as the "Heavenly Khan" and become the co-ruler of the world for a while.

Why did after his death, countless Hu nobles cut off their ears and faces, and even the Hu people, who were princes, asked for a martyrdom for Tang Taizong.

Could it be that Tang Taizong has always been friendly with other races, so that he has a respected status?

No!

In that "bearded" dynasty, the frequency of frontier wars and the number of wars were very rare in the Chinese dynasties. Otherwise, there would not be so many majestic and grandiose side poems.

Especially during the Zhenguan period, the Tang army attacked from all sides, and successively won victories against the Eastern Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Yanqi, Western Turks, Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, Qiuzi, and India. Jin Ge Iron Horse, expand the territory to the extreme.

Due to the atmosphere of martial arts and literature cultivation in later dynasties, the Tang Dynasty even became the absolute sound of the martial spirit in China.

Foreign faux pas, as soon as he heard that the Tang army was dispatched, the king was scared to death.

The world is under Li Shimin's control, and he still chooses to be amicable, just for the stability of the world.

He once said, I am the parent of the people, as long as it is beneficial to the people, I will never cherish a daughter.

He believed that marrying his daughter to a foreign leader and giving birth to a child would be his grandson, and that his grandson would be able to stabilize the border for thirty years.

This kind of national policy made the Tang Dynasty unprecedentedly prosperous.

But Tang Taizong did not completely return to the hearts of the aliens, and when Tang was strong, the aliens were also getting stronger. The middle and late stages of the Tang Dynasty were full of wind and rain.

When leaving Xia Lake with 800 guards, Liu Fan looked at the picturesque mountains and rivers and sighed faintly.

The big man is in his hands and can't lose his backbone. After Yu Mi's incident, Liu Fan became more and more disgusted with harmony.

The big man in his heart is a Confucian bone, and he wants to be domineering and act as kings.

What he wants is not Rong Di to surrender, but to submit.
