The weather is getting hotter and hotter on the seventh day of the fifth month, an auspicious day.

After a ritual of telling the gods of the mountains and rivers and sacrificing the spirits of the ancestors, the team of hedgehogs gathered in Liaoxi County also carried a large number of people who were coerced, and the resentment, pain and tears of the locals finally embarked on the journey home.

Of course, because the coalition army has a full 60,000 or 70,000 troops, except for the more than 20,000 people left behind to guard each other according to their respective share of strength.

There are still tens of thousands of troops left, and it is impossible for them all to disperse and run back on their own, but according to the distance and the batch of master and slave, they set off one by one.

And the first to set off was naturally Luo Fan's men and horses.

Because of the alliance of these princes, except for a small part that could pass through Xianzhou in the east, along the upper reaches of the Daling River, and return directly to the north; Most of them were from the northwest and southwest feudal clans, and they had to pass through the Luo clan's territory, and even the heartland of Xinchengzhou, in order to return to their territory with the shortest distance and speed.

Therefore, it is particularly important for the people of the Luo Fan Headquarters to take the lead and arrange the affairs along the way.

In addition, according to Luo Sijin's news, after most of the princes' armies have returned, their lords or representatives will gather in Xinchengzhou, an important hub in the southeast.

In order to further revise and deepen the terms of the covenants and oaths of the former princes, you must know that the Seven Great Alliances led by the Luo clan were given in this important town of the Luo clan - Xincheng.

This time it is not a hot iron, and it will make the greatest use of the general trend, which is also the first in the former Anton.

Of course, my troops and I were left behind in Liaoxi, so we didn't have to worry about this excitement for the time being. To be honest, since I went to Liaodong to watch the ceremony, I have made do with and participated in a lot of various emergencies.

And there are a lot of things left behind in the local area.

It is said that Luo also planned to set up a new town and an army in the four prefectures of western Liaoning, plus dozens of local city lords, self-recruited and trained feudal soldiers, to form the most basic defense system and armed force pattern.

Among them, the new army was the Guangle Army stationed in Liaoxi County, with Luo Yunxiao as the military envoy, and the specific establishment of the period was about 6,000 to 8,000 people.

The new town is located in Jinzhou in the south, and is expanded by the four battalions of the local feudal soldiers as the backbone, with the old Luo Sijin as the town defense envoy, and is expected to lead four medium military offices, named Songshan Town after the location of the station.

to take turns to assist the Huaidong Army in garrisoning the southern road and the wall defense line established along the Xiaoqing River; With the investment of manpower and material resources from Luo Fan at any cost, this battlefield defense line, which was originally hastily built by civil engineering and quite rudimentary, has also been completely changed.

For example, the materials of several sub-cities near Kaiyi City after they were demolished all appeared on this two- or three-mile-long defensive line. Specialized gates and gatehouses, as well as a number of large towers, as well as guard towers to guard and monitor the nearby mountains, are also under construction.

In addition, there are other personnel arrangements:

For example, the former supervisor Jin Fuzhen, the head of the small division of Cangyan Prefecture, actually became the second person in Liaoxi and became the number two person who actually stayed behind in the civil and military affairs, in charge of the construction and reconstruction affairs after the war;

and Liaoxi Sima, who was in charge of the criminal and prison lawsuits, was served by Luo Xiangxian, the head of the feudal guards beside the feudal lord Luo Zhanji; As for the state chief who is in charge of the money and grain household register, it is a little-known retainer Li Mengde.

At the same time, the first batch of armed cantonment regiments had already crossed the sea from Huaidong and began to demarcate land near several river estuaries along the coast of Panzhou, and set up a number of cantonment enclosures to make preparations for replanting.

Seeds, farm tools and various daily necessities also arrived with the ship one after another. At least, the majority of the population is satisfied with the dark brown and fertile soil.

All that remains is how to deal with the local people who have fled into the mountains, and the stragglers and remnants who are mixed in with them.

This task of searching and clearing the mountains can be handed over to the friendly army of the Luo Domain, and as long as you concentrate on the wall defense line of Xiaoqing River; In this way, you can save the cost of fighting a law and order war for a period of time in the future.

As for the remnants of the hostile forces, if they run to the plains to harass, they are the best targets and targets to line up and shoot. In terms of fortifications and field battles, no one has been able to avoid my Huaidong Army.

Moreover, I have at least one battalion or more of cavalry, which is being trained and armed in the local area, and as a means of cooperating with the clean-up operation, it is the most suitable object to hunt down and pursue those fish that have slipped through the net and been driven out of the mountains.

Then, as for the follow-up arrangements for the stationing of troops, it is impossible for my own formation to stay in this place for a long time. As the elite troops of Huaidong Town, the cost of marching and fighting outside for a long time is not small at all.

Therefore, although the size of the garrison remained largely unchanged in the future, the composition and structure of everything was adjusted.

After all, if it is only to defend the base and maintain the place, it is a waste to use the main battle camp to stay for a long time. Even with garrison battalions and garrison regiments, they are completely competent.

Therefore, there will be three garrison battalions and two main battle battalions, which will constitute the main armed sequence of Jinzhou and Panzhou.

Among the three garrison battalions, except for one is the old garrison battalion composed of Liangshan people, which was newly ordered as the Binzhou battalion; The other two were the old Anton soldiers in the Huaidong Army, plus the new battalions recruited from the feudal families in the coalition army as the skeleton, and were named the 15th and 16th Provisional Garrison Battalions respectively;

This is also a supplementary incentive system that began to be implemented after the development of the current military position of the Huaidong Army.

According to the early and late formation of the army and their performance, the seniority and merit of their respective service time, these new and old troops are subdivided in terms of allowances and subsidies.

For example, the newly formed troops only have the title of "provisional"; whether it is salaries or allowances, subsidies or benefits, etc., there are reductions;

It is not until one year of service that one item is qualified, it can be called a "new department" and enjoy the most basic treatment and benefits;

And the existence of the daily as a shelf force for this purpose is often referred to as a compendium; Formations that absorb a large number of armed forces from outside, or merge and compress from other forces, are called "integration";

Only units that have served for more than three years and have been evaluated well, or who have performed well in larger wars, can be obtained and can enjoy full treatment and benefits.

And then there is the additional profit of the leaders of the time-honored battalions; There is also the difference between the old camp with an exclusive trade name and the old camp with only the general name of the station. Among them, the old battalion head with an exclusive name, among the dozens of battalion heads of the Huaidong Army, was only awarded seven and a half.

In order to encourage the healthy competition between these units and the manifestation of battlefield initiative on a daily basis.

Therefore, the other two main battle battalions are from the 9th Battalion of the Right Escort Army Compendium of the Xing Battalion and the 8th Battalion of the Compendium of the Front Army; These two mantissa sequences were made up to assume the corresponding responsibilities of garrisoning the Xiaoqing River defense line.

The three garrison battalions, along with the north-south direction of the coastal plain, were stationed at the key points of the intersection of Longcheng, Jingxian, and Tacheng in the two prefectures.

In addition, it is expected that the surplus of the seized armor and miscellaneous weapons will be used to arm a part of the young and strong immigrants to form the basis of about seven garrisons.

And now with the new territory and depth, and the corresponding increase in money, food, taxes, and population base; The upper limit of the corresponding main battle troops can also be adjusted slightly upwards.

In this way, in addition to the Jiansheng Army, which was in the nature of reclamation and construction, and the garrison regiments in various places that were partially out of production, the main armed forces of Huaidong Town reached about 63,000 in total. It's almost equal to fifteen people to draw one ding, or five households to raise one soldier.

Of course, in the establishment of the dynasty, there are still only 47,000 posts. And this supply quantity is not the full amount, after discounting into miscellaneous materials, there is probably a ** that can be obtained, and it is quite a conscience in the practice of the dynasty.

And between Yao Pingzhong and Zhe Keshi, who were with the army, I was also weighing and considering, who would stay as the main responsibility, responsible for managing and guarding the newly taken land of the two states.

After years of training and testing, these two have also shown their own development and growth trends.

Like Yao Pingzhong, who was released by my side, after the training of the deputy envoy in the Laizhou regiment, the comprehensive level of governing the officers and the people is more balanced and comprehensive, and the disadvantage is that he does not personally have the experience of leading troops in major battles;

And Zhe Keshi, who was initially optimistic about me, also showed a certain positive and enterprising edge in the army in Yanbian. It can be said that every opportunity to attack with the army, no matter who he is under his command, he shows an impressive level and activity.

It's just that there aren't too many opportunities for him to perform in the rear chores.

And this time, although the military pressure on the left-behind candidates is limited, they need to take into account multiple responsibilities.

It is not only necessary to be able to farm and obtain output as soon as possible, but also to maintain sufficient strategic initiative; That is, under the condition of maintaining a limited and capable force, the Northern Korean army on the side of Pinglu Daoyingzhou will continue to harass and probe it. In order to maintain sufficient momentum and pressure, as well as the initiative in the situation.

This requires the use of cavalry, and the coordination with the infantry army must also have a corresponding experience and level. There must also be enough opportunities and the city government to deal with the situation on the territory of the Luo domain in the north in a timely manner.

Therefore, I was a little reluctant to give up for a while.
