Wang Jiabin got up before dawn, and yesterday evening heard that nearly 100,000 victims were coming to Qingzhou, Wang Jiabin panicked, and he was stunned all night, and after getting up, he hurriedly found Lu Zuo, the only remaining official in the yamen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Maoyang, 100,000 victims, 100,000, how is this good?"

Wang Jiabin was anxiously pacing back and forth in the second hall, but Lu Zuo looked like the old god was there, took a sip of the tea sent by Wang Jiabin's concubine, and said with a smile: "My lord, there is no need to panic at this time!" ”

"Oh, Maoyang, when is it time and there is no need to panic, can I not panic when it is 100,000 people? Now that there are no people in this city, and there is no food for them, how can I settle these 100,000 victims? ”

Wang Jiabin's mouth was about to blister in a hurry, you Lu Zuo is good, you actually said that there is no need to panic, if you can scold people, he Wang Jiabin really wants to scold ten yuan first.

"My lord, who said that there is no one in this city and no food?" Lu Zuo put down the teacup and said, "Isn't there still Liu Zheng?" Liu Zheng: There are people there who have money and food! What do the victims need, isn't all they need is a mouthful of food? Let Liu Zheng allocate food! As long as there is food, will the victims still make trouble? ”

Wang Jiabin's face was happy, but then he frowned and said: "Maoyang, you still think simply, the victims need more than food, and now they need shelter in the winter, besides, there are many victims, what if there is a plague?" ”

Lu Zuohaha stood up with a smile and said, "My lord, what kind of plague can arise in the cold winter month now?" As I said, look at the houses outside the city, weren't they built by the victims themselves? Now it's better to follow his Liu Zheng's method! ”

Wang Jiabin slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" Come! ”

When a handyman heard Wang Jiabin shouting, he immediately entered the second hall and said, "My lord, what are your orders!" ”

"Go, call Liu Zheng to this mansion!"

Listening to these full of angry words, three black lines rose on the head of the handyman, and the heart said My lord, did you get up this morning and your head was caught by the door panel, you called Liu Ye to come, and Liu Ye came?

The handyman arched his hand with an embarrassed face and said: "My lord, the little one must have passed on your words, but whether Liu Ye can come or not, the little one doesn't know!" ”

Wang Jiabin's fragile little heart seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water, and he immediately calmed down, knowing that he had just made a mistake, after all, his little life was still in the hands of others, but he didn't want to lose face in front of the handyman, so he pretended to cough.

"You go and tell Liu Zheng, now that 100,000 disaster victims are gathered outside the city, you have to think of appeasing them immediately, so you tell him first, let him allocate some food for soup kitchen, no more, allocate 10,000 stone first!"

"Yes, my lord, let's do it for the little ones!"

This miscellaneous servant inquired around outside the city and learned that Liu Zheng was now in the Qingzhou Left Guard Camp, and when he ran to the Qingzhou Left Guard Camp, it was almost noon.

After waiting for the miscellaneous servants to leave, Liu Zheng invited Zhou Yun and Old Man Wei to the camp tent.

"Old man, big brother, we have a lot to do now, very, very much, but first we have to do two things, one thing is to comfort the victims, this is not difficult, but it is also difficult, the victims need not only food, but also shelter, and a stable life, this needs not only one or two officials or smart people can do it, he needs many, many people to complete!"

"To do this well, there is only one way at present, that is, to register and divide all the disaster victims, and find out the villagers among them, if there are no respected villagers, they can be allowed to nominate some people for self-government, and what we have to do is not only to distribute food to them, but also to carry out the necessary infiltration, so as to facilitate our management in the future, but we can't do this now, because we don't have so many of our own people."

"So what to do? There is still a way, that is, to select some reliable people from the disaster victims who have settled down, and arrange jobs for these people, and their job is to infiltrate the various disaster victims who have been divided, to understand each of their families, to understand their abilities, to understand their disputes, and then to summarize them, and to archive these things, when it comes to archiving, we need some readers, where do these readers come from? The prefect, of course, who handed it over to us! ”

"This is the first thing, then the second thing is to recruit soldiers, only when we have enough strength in our hands can we ensure our safety, can we ensure our rule over these victims, I have sent Brother Zeng to do the recruitment, but he is a person after all, so I plan to let Brother Zhou you go to help, and do the first thing by the way while recruiting soldiers!"

When Zhou Yun heard Liu Zheng order his general, he immediately stood up and said, "Second brother, don't worry, eldest brother promises to do it!" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and continued: "Then let's talk about recruiting and related matters after recruitment!" Nowadays, in addition to the military cantonment and the local supply of food every year, everyone also finds five taels of silver, but this system has been backward, we can no longer use it, we need professional soldiers, that is, full-time soldiers, do not need to be soldiers to do this kind of thing, they only have to do training and defend their homeland! ”

"Then as a professional soldier, you can't not pay a settling-in allowance like the imperial court, so when we recruit soldiers, we need to pay a settling-in allowance, and I initially plan to pay ten taels of settling-in allowance for my family!"

Old Man Wei's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Zheng with approval in his eyes, but Zhou Yun was different, he calculated in his heart that this simple recruitment would cost 50,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount.

"Second brother, isn't ten taels too much, now you want to raise 5,000 people, and it will cost 50,000 taels for just a settlement fee!"

Liu Zheng waved his hand and said: "If you want people to sell your life, you can't be stingy, let's ugly talk about the front, in the future, the eldest brother and all the brothers will lead the troops in the future, if I find out who dares to drink the blood of the soldiers, the knife in my hand will not follow!" ”

Zhou Yun nodded and said: "Second brother, don't worry about this, although the eldest brother and all the brothers are all bastards, they will not do such dirty things, if someone really does it, you don't have to take action second brother, eldest brother, I will personally clean up the portal!" ”

Wei Boyuan also chimed in: "I will tell them as soon as possible, presumably they will still listen to my words!" ”

Liu Zheng nodded and continued the previous topic: "Fifty thousand taels of silver is indeed a lot, but it is not much, now we have money in our hands, the money in the treasury is in our hands, and we have copied a lot of houses, which is enough to deal with, money is not money in our hands, and it is called money when it is spent!" ”

"In addition to the settling-in allowance, we also have to pay the soldiers a monthly salary of five taels of silver, after the money is sent to the soldiers, we will also set up a special department for them to send money home, this department not only has to send the money to their families, but also to get a receipt, that is, a family letter, if the soldier who mails the money home can't receive a reply, then the person who sent the money out will be cut directly!"

"So we also have to look at the recruiters in this department, and these people can be selected from the disaster victims!"

Wei Boyuan and Zhou Yun both nodded, this method is really good, it can greatly stabilize people's hearts, but it costs a lot, but Liu Zheng said before that the money spent is called money, and the two of them didn't say anything more in this regard.

"The above is all logistics guarantee, now let's talk about the training of soldiers, recruits must have a three-month training period, during which the first two months of training queues, etc., is according to my set of methods, the next month by the old man, you personally teach the method of formation, not only to teach the mandarin duck formation, but also to teach them the method of formation warfare used in the war, this old man, you have to bother!"

Wei Boyuan had promised to teach the method of battle before, so he nodded seriously and responded, but he also raised his own difficulties and said: "There are so many people, I'm afraid I can't teach alone!" ”

Liu Zheng smiled and said: "This is going to talk about the problem of the military system, and now the imperial court is no longer suitable for us, so I have a new system!" ”

"Oh?" Wei Boyuan stroked his beard and said, "The virtuous nephew might as well say it!" ”

"Old man, big brother, I plan to redivide the army into corps, divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads! There are 12 people in a class, one squad leader and one deputy squad leader; Three squads are a platoon, with one principal and one deputy platoon leader; Three platoons are a company, with one person each holding the same principal and deputy positions; Three companies are one battalion, three battalions are one regiment, and so on! ”

"After the soldiers are recruited, all the non-commissioned officers under our original command will be incorporated into the recruits and become officers at the grassroots level, and the old man is responsible for teaching these people, and they will go back to teach the recruits after they have learned!"

Wei Boyuan felt that Liu Zheng's method was good, but there was no need to reorganize it, there was no difference between this army, division, brigade, regiment, battalion, company, and platoon, and the system of the imperial court, and it was a little redundant after the reorganization.

Then he said: "Virtuous nephew, this method is no different from the method of the imperial court, let's just say that the method of General Qi is a team of twelve people, three teams and one flag, three flags and one bureau, four bureaus and one division, two divisions for one department, and three departments for one battalion!" Isn't it a bit ...... that this hasty change of system is unfamiliar to everyone?"

Zhou Yun also thought so and echoed the two sentences of the old man Wei, but Liu Zheng smiled and said: "The old man feels thankless, but I don't think so, we are different from the imperial court, we have to have a new atmosphere, we want to change the people's understanding of us, to let the people distinguish us from the imperial court, we must be different, the first difference is the difference between this soldier, I want Marshal Yue's Yue family army to freeze to death without demolishing the house, starving to death without plundering, we have to learn from Marshal Yue, we must not only learn but also do better than them, Not only do we have to freeze to death without demolishing houses, starve to death without looting, but we also have to do not take a stitch from the people! We want the people to know thoroughly that we are different from the imperial court, and we want the people to say, as soon as they see us, oh, this is the same soldier as Marshal Yue, they are the Liu family's army! ”

"Another advantage of changing the military system is that our soldiers have a sense of belonging, so our military system must be changed, completely changed!"
