Subsequently, Zhao Xun summoned the middle and high-level leaders of various units to sum up the lessons and lessons. This counterattack was completely different from the previous battles, an overwhelming snowfall. Changed the way the battle was fought, something the Fire Lam had never encountered before.

The Huolin army lacked experience in snow warfare, did not have the right equipment, and had a difficult choice between armor and cotton clothing, so they had to wear cotton clothing in order to protect themselves from the cold. But in order to prevent the killing of the enemy. He had to put on armor again, and as a result, some of the soldiers were at a loss.

It was also specifically mentioned that due to the effects of snow, it had a great impact on soldiers wearing thick armor, especially heavy armor battalions. The Heavy Battalion Soldiers were the only team wearing armor after the battle. It took a lot of effort to take off the heavy armor on his body. Due to the cold and snow penetration, a considerable part of the armor has been tightly connected to the flesh and skin, and the contact parts must be slowly soaked in warm water, waiting for the complete thawing before the armor and the flesh can be slowly separated. This phenomenon makes the heavy armor battalion basically unable to use lì in the cold winter season, especially in the heavy snow season. Therefore, more needs to be done to cope with the severe cold weather.

After the conference, it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

In this battle, there were many meritorious people, whether it was a cavalry battalion or an infantry army, a large number of local soldiers were rewarded. Zhao Xun did not hesitate to reward them with a large amount of money and encouraged them to continue to fight bravely.

In the following days, Baixian County was very calm. Due to the continuous heavy snow and the difficulty in replenishing materials, the cavalry battalions that came to the aid of Yanzhou Prefecture were transferred to various places one after another to share the pressure of Baixian County in the later stage. And Zhao Xun also needs to stay for the time being, rest and recuperate the former army, and at the same time appease and encourage the people of Baixian County after the war, and organize the settlement of the victims in the war.

The snow flew for five days before it stopped. Between heaven and earth, there is a white place, and there is nothing but white. The snow piled up outdoors was knee-deep, making it difficult to walk, and to make matters worse, many poor people's houses were crushed by the snow. If it weren't for Zhao Xun's precautions, he let the garrisons in various places patrol day and night, rescue the victims in time, and place them in the barracks, I am afraid that I don't know how many people would have died. Rao is like this, there are still many people covered by heavy snow, and the seemingly white and flawless snow has brought heavy disasters to the people.

After the heavy snow stopped, Zhao Xun immediately organized people to clean up the snow in the city, especially some extremely dangerous houses, and immediately swept down the covered savings to avoid causing other troubles. As for the other counties, they also began to act on the day the snow stopped under Zhao Xun's order in advance.

As soon as this move came out, not only did the people of Yanzhou Mansion support the Huolin Army, but even the newly recovered Yingzhou Mansion was completely heartfelt. I don't dare to say that the army and the people are built together, and the fish and water are affectionate, but the fire Lin soldiers helped to relieve the disaster and build new homes for the homeless people, and provided them with living needs. Compared with the former Yingzhou government army and the official government, the Huolin Army doesn't know how many rounds it will have, let alone the Yan Army. In contrast, the depth of heavy snow in Yingzhou is shallower than that in Yanzhou, but Yingzhou has indeed just experienced the war. It's not much better.

Soup kitchens have been set up in each county, and resettlement sites for victims have also been set up outside the city. The prefectures, which had taken precautions in advance, also provided some cotton clothing to ensure that the victims were properly resettled. In addition, the clothing and animal fur accumulated in the North Navy camp also made a lot of contributions to the Huolin Army.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xun began to adopt those lonely orphans in the counties of the two prefectures, gathered them, and placed them in the valley on the west side of Yanzhou City, not far from the Yanzhou City Horse Farm. For this reason, in just a few days, the Huolin Army adopted more than 2,000 children. In this era, there are many children born to families. During the disaster years, these children were either sold by parents who could not make ends meet, or became orphans without a father or mother. The Huolin Army garrisons in various places, after receiving Zhao Xun's instructions, gathered these children together, and then moved to Yanzhou City. The youngest of them was five years old and the oldest was thirteen years old.

Yang Wangzhen, who inspected the counties with Wei Dong, also sent back the news, it may be that the Huolin Army has not long recovered the land of the two prefectures, or it may be that all the officials have been promoted exceptionally. These officials have not yet appeared in the corpse position, and there may be some big and small problems, but most of them are not skillfully guided, and after Yang Wangzhen's guidance, they have all been corrected. However, it was Yang Wangzhen's inspection on behalf of Zhao Xun, and this kind of appearance similar to Qincha made the county officials, whether it was Yanzhou Mansion or the newly incorporated Yingzhou Mansion, dare not have the slightest negligence and negligence, and do what they should do is extremely neat.

In addition to the results of the inspections in various places, Yang Wangzhen also proposed a series of construction projects, such as repairing the official roads between counties, especially some large towns and villages, to connect them, and not let them be isolated from the jurisdiction. Increase the attraction of the displaced people, especially the Yingzhou Mansion, the whole land of a government, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is only less than half of the Yanzhou Mansion, the reason for this, the oppression of the government is becoming more and more prosperous for a while, and another important reason is because of the oppression of the Yan army, and fled to the north and south provinces.

In addition, Yang Wangzhen also mentioned the establishment of a system of officials at the level of the government to coordinate the development of the counties of the government, and not let the counties that are also the same government only manage themselves and cannot move forward in coordination. In addition, the Huolin Army implements the separation of military and government, and above government affairs, it does need a government at the level of the government, and even needs a system that overrides the government to manage and control the government. Yang Wangzhen meant that if it was inconvenient to appoint an official at the first level of the government because of the relationship with the imperial court, he could appoint it with a pronoun, and then ask the imperial court for instructions when necessary. As for whether its instructions are not approved, we do not need to pay attention.

Finally, Yang Wangzhen also mentioned that Zhao Xun needed a name, or a military yamen, in the Huolin army. In addition, the balance between the cavalry captain and the government army general, and the high and low between the cavalry captain and the infantry captain, all need to be reasonably arranged. In recent years, the provinces have been fighting endlessly, although under the rapid action of the Huolin Army, the people of the two provinces did not suffer too much death, but the livelihood of the two provinces has indeed suffered great damage. Fortunately, the Huolin army distributed the land, giving the people new hope. But this means of depriving the landlords of their land, distributing them to the common people, and obtaining grain and grass from the landlords can be used for a while, and such drastic means cannot be continued to be used on a large scale. Therefore, in the short term, we cannot continue to fight against the Tatar army, and we need to vigorously develop the localities. However, we can plan for the rest of the provinces, win over the forces that counterattack the Indigo Army, consume the strength of the Indigo Army, and when the time comes, strike a thunderous blow to achieve the goal we need.

After reading Yang Wangzhen's report, it is almost similar to the Jian yì mentioned by Lu Ziliang and Situ Liang, the only difference is that Yang Wangzhen also mentioned that the shadow guard of the Huolin Army still needs to be reformed, and militarily, internally, and externally, all need intelligence agencies, and they can't rely on just one, which is not conducive to covering all aspects of the situation. There is also a deep meaning in it, this kind of power must not be controlled, otherwise it may hurt oneself. After thinking about it for a while, he called Yang Wangqing, Liu Wenqi, Liu Wenqian, Zhang Yuanjing, and Li Lingfeng, Li Luobei, Zhao Kang, Zhao Jie, Zhao Fei and other generals who had not returned to various places with the army to discuss the suggestions proposed by Yang Wangzhen.

Seeing that several of them were also called in by Zhao Xun, and seven or eight generals of the Huolin Army gathered together, Liu Wenqi and the four of them immediately understood that the expressions of several people had entered Zhao Xun's eyes, and they were officially accepted by Zhao Xun and became a core member of the Huolin Army. The four of them looked at each other, and they all showed a faint joy. After all, they escaped from the Northern Navy, they have nowhere to go, they have no home, and now they finally have a place to stay, and their talents can be used.

"Originally, after the end of the war, we should return to Yanzhou City, and then discuss all matters. But although the heavy snow stopped, the road was impassable. So we're going to have to stay here for a few days. Idle is also idle, let's talk about Situ Liang, Lu Ziliang and Yang Wangzhen's construction and see how to solve it. After seeing everyone sit down, Zhao Xun spoke.

Let everyone take turns to read a few opinions, so that everyone can have a rough preparation in their hearts.

"Let's talk about it, how is their construction?"

Several people looked at each other, but did not speak. Li Luobei was the first to speak: "Most of these constructions are related to people's livelihood and government affairs, and they have nothing to do with the army. But I think they still have a lot of point. Not to mention anything else, it is the repair of official roads in the counties, a method of cash-for-work, which can solve the problem of disaster victims flowing to our jurisdiction. When we mentioned preparations, the war had subsided, and there were still tens of thousands of victims, not to mention the surrounding provinces. This move is beneficial to the country and the people, and is also conducive to the rapid mobilization of our armed forces, which is feasible. ”

"As for the establishment of a government system at the level of the government, I think it is also necessary, but it will also bring us a series of troubles. Our current behavior has gone out of the normal system of the imperial court. As for how to do it, those of us who only know how to fight. ”

Lin Luo said: "The Huolin Army really needs a supreme system, at least it can govern the civil and military officials of the two prefectures, and we can't always have this vague situation that the county-level captain's mansion and the prefecture-level governor's mansion have been eliminated, and we must have our own name." ”

Liu Wenqian saw Zhao Xun looking at him and the others, so he said: "The repair of the official road can be carried out together with the establishment of a civil official system at the first level of the government. It's nothing more than a history of assassination, but we need to add a temporary generation in front of it, or do a history of assassination. As for whether the court recognizes it or not, it doesn't matter to us whether it is recognized by the imperial court in the future. Even if they appoint a new assassin, the real power is still in our hands. As for the adult's Huolin Army, it does need an official title. Actually, I even proposed that Lord Yì submit it to the Yamen of Youzhou, after all, we took back their lost territory from the Yan Army, and it will not work without a reward. As for what the situation was, his subordinates didn't dare to say much. ”

"According to the understanding of his subordinates, the adults have launched a larger purge policy in Yanzhou Mansion, but this is not the case in Yingzhou Mansion. In this way, adults also see that such drastic measures are not advisable. The four northern provinces were invaded by the Yan army, and the big forces and rich landlords had already moved south, leaving behind some cats and dogs. Such a drastic policy here is acceptable, but when it comes to the south, ...... "Speaking of this, Liu Wenqian did not continue, because the south is not the sphere of influence of the Huolin Army, and it has not been harassed by the Yan Army, if the Huolin Army goes south, it will be a real rebellion.

Zhang Yuanjing said: "I am in favor of a large-scale mobilization of troops to participate in the war, which will put overwhelming pressure on our weak logistics. Both Weizhou and Shunzhou have several forces that counterattack the Yan army, and we can use them for our own use. When necessary, lead a small army, or develop a local force, counterattack the Yan army, and occupy or regain the place. Now the pressure on the Beihai tribes in the north has been removed, and the Yingzhou capital in the south is basically ours. We can vigorously restore local production, use our strength to eliminate these unretreating army, and most importantly, ensure that these two provinces fall into our hands, which is also our capital to put pressure on the imperial court. ”

"My lord, now that a lot of war horses have been captured, isn't it time to increase the number of cavalry in the infantry army? Although there are many infantry troops now, they are basically useless, and the brothers of the cavalry battalion have completed the battle, which also makes the infantry soldiers extremely envious of the cavalry, so that when the action was taken a few days ago, the infantry soldiers were temporarily transferred to the cavalry battalion, and the result was swarming! Qin You smiled bitterly.

"I have already written down this problem, and when I return to Yanzhou City, I will adjust the various departments, and also let the cavalry departments and the infantry troops coordinate."

Immediately afterwards, everyone discussed various issues and expressed their opinions, Zhao Xun analyzed these opinions, wrote them down one by one, and waited to return to Yanzhou City to implement a change.
