The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom who surrendered with Liu Heimin totaled more than 60,000, and Su You obviously couldn't tolerate them all becoming his own soldiers.

According to the great cause of founding the country agreed upon by Su You and Li Mi and others in Nanzhong, soldiers will be the second class of people in the future cloud China, citizens - citizens.

The advancement of citizens should not be captives, but from among the third-class citizens, that is, the commoners. -- Civilians are all people who have contributed to Cloud China, that is, they have at least one year's tax records.

In extraordinary times, there are reasons to act extraordinary.

But when Su You thought about promoting 60,000 people to citizens all at once, he still felt a lot of pressure, even though the original citizens and civilians did not supervise his consciousness.

How many of the 60,000 soldiers of the Xia Kingdom can be converted into Su You's soldiers? On the one hand, it is determined by the quality of these soldiers, and on the other hand, by the number of enemies.

If the quality of Xia Guo's soldiers is better than the soldiers brought by Su You, if Su You's next enemy, Yu Wenhua, is extremely strong, Su You will obviously not hesitate to absorb everyone as soldiers; If the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom did not meet the standards of soldiers, if Su You had no more enemies, then he would not leave any of the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom behind.

In view of the situation of Xia Guoshi and Yu Wenhua, Su You planned to leave 20,000 to 25,000 people, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled could of course only be sent home, or settled on the spot to farm and farm

Where does the land come from?

This is not difficult for Su You, even if there is no example of Mao Weiren in later generations, Su You can also learn the basic reform of "fighting local tyrants and dividing land" from Zhu Chong, Basun Cannon and others. common sense of life; If you have to find a nice word, it is "equal land rights".

The slogan of "equal land rights" has been shouted by countless people, and Yang Jian and Yang Guang have also shouted before, according to the current national policy of the Great Sui, each adult male can be divided into 40 acres of land, and a woman can be divided into 20 acres.

In fact?

In the continuous buying and selling, the annexation of land is very powerful, Yang Jian has been less than 30 years on average, but many civilians have long lost their land, and these lands have naturally gone into the hands of big tyrants and big landlords.

For local tyrants and landlords, Su You has no special plan, after all, the way this type of people annex land is to buy and sell, and they are willing to fight and suffer from the peasants.

It is not only the local tyrants and landlords who undermine the national land policy, but also the peasants.

The landless peasants are extremely pitiful, and there must be something hateful; The peasants who are willing to sell their land must not be industrious, or they do not have a long-term vision at all.

Even if he understood this kind of truth, Su You still wanted to spit out the land annexed by the local tyrants and landlords from the peasants.

How to get the local tyrants and landlords to hand over the land deeds in their hands, Su You immediately thought of two methods: one is the discount of the land proposed by Mr. Zhongshan to them, and the state will use money to buy the land in their hands that exceeds the regulations; Another method is to fight local tyrants and divide the land, which is simple, direct, crude, and the most effective.

"Leather. Life is not to invite guests to dinner, not to make a fuss, not to paint and embroider, not to be so elegant, so calm, so polite, so gentle and frugal. Leather. Life is violent. Movement is the violent action of a class to overthrow a class. ”

With such ideological support, Su You naturally chose the simplest and most effective method, because he had absolute power in his hands; As soon as Su You entered Leshou City, he called on the officials of Leshou to donate grain to reward the three armies, and it cannot be said that he decided on the strategy of "fighting local tyrants" early on.

Nothing can be done overnight, Su You was worried that he would pull the egg because he took too big a step, so he decided to stop at Leshou.

On the one hand, it is for the purpose of reorganizing the army; On the other hand, it is to establish prestige among the people.

On the second day, the whole army began with the 10,000 troops commanded by Fan Yuan, a general under Dou Jiande; After a day of screening, less than 3,000 of these 10,000 people were able to stay.

As for the veterans who did not enter the army, as long as their hometown was in the territory liberated by Su You, they could go home with enough food for three months at that time; As for those whose hometowns are in enemy-occupied areas, they can stay behind now and contribute to Su You's army by selling coolies.

Some non-commissioned officers who can meet the requirements of the auxiliary can also apply to stay.

Unlike regular soldiers, auxiliaries cannot automatically be converted into second-class civilians (i.e., citizens), and they do not receive a share of the spoils of war, but they trade with the soldiers and can buy the spoils of war on the battlefield

Of course, Su You's so-called auxiliary troops are set up for those who are opportunistic, and if they have enough financial resources and enough courage, they can easily make a war fortune.

The veterans who had been persuaded to retire after hearing about the great cause of the founding of Yunnan China were not happy in their hearts, but after they heard about Su You's auxiliary soldier plan, they were soon eager to try it again.

Su You then talked to Dou Jiande about his plan to establish a money village in Leshou, and he could relax some reputable veterans and let them become auxiliaries and businessmen on the battlefield.

Dou Jiande didn't understand Su You's plan very well, but the leader said that it would be good as long as he agreed.

After Dou Jiande went, Su You became bored, but he heard that Xue Wanche had come back and was asking for a meeting at the moment.

Su You didn't put on a show, and immediately ordered someone to bring Xue Wanche in, and then he saw a somewhat dejected man looking at him a little evasively.

Xue Wanche's work was personally arranged by Su You, and it is also one of the top priorities of the current Leshou infrastructure, Su You can see at a glance that there must be no good news for Xue Wanche to come this time.

"What's wrong? Closed doors? Su You waved his hand to let Xue Wanche sit down, and asked with a knowing smile.

"I came down this day, and I went around seven or eight dock forts within thirty miles of Leshou City, and not only did they not agree to donate food, but even the people who talked to me were all subordinates!" Xue Wanche took a sip and said indignantly.

"In this case" Su You immediately made a plan with Xue Wanche, and decided to start implementing the plan that night, so that the castle owners of the dock forts outside the city knew what it meant to "toast and not eat and drink".

After listening to Su You's plan, Xue Wanche then broke out in a cold sweat, and he deeply realized that playing tricks with people like Su You would be a dead end.

Although there is some disagreement about the reluctance of those local tyrants in the dock fort to donate grain, Xue Wanche feels that the practice of "fighting local tyrants and distributing grain" is still a bit unauthentic; Dou Jiande, a little turtle thief, disdains to do this, but a literati like Su You chooses this kind of indiscriminate method, does his discipline let the dog eat it?

After hesitating for a while, Xue Wanche couldn't help but speak, "Wouldn't this be a little cruel, after all, there are many people in these eight dock forts, and nearly 10,000 civilians will be killed."

"Ci doesn't lead soldiers, this is an order!" Su You immediately said in a tone of non-committal beak, and then added, "Let's build the largest dock fort, and the other dock forts will definitely surrender when they see the opportunity." We will not harvest their grain in vain this time, give them a white slip first, and when the country becomes strong in the future, it will only be repaid to them; Let them hand over the excess title deeds, and we will also give them a blank slip first."

Although he knew that Su You's guarantee was a bit unrealistic, Xue Wanche's mood was still much better, and emotionally speaking, having this white strip was equivalent to buying and selling rather than robbing.

Xue Wanche suddenly felt that being a soldier under Su You was not too happy, and this required first subverting his previous three views.

According to the established plan, this night the Xia King's palace encountered a group of hundreds of assassins.

When the Assassins were discovered, they fled, and eventually fled to a dock fort seven or eight miles west of Leshou City, which was also the largest dock fort within a radius of 100 miles near Leshou.

The above is an official statement, but it is just the "name" in the name of the teacher, as for whether this "name" is true or false, those who know will always know.

That night, Xue Wanche surrounded the dock fort with four or five hundred soldiers, and strictly ordered the people in the fort to hand over the more than ten assassins who had "just escaped in"!

Liu Fang, the owner of Wubao, was also a petty official of Le Shou before, but what he never expected was that his subordinates offended Xue Wanche in the morning; The latter had poured sewage on himself in one day, and at this time he was at a loss for words, how could he hand over the so-called assassin?

"If you want to fight, then fight!" Liu Fang thought about it for a long night, and his hair turned a few grays, and he didn't make such a decision until dawn.

In order to protect his family and property, he chose to fight against Xue Wanche, Liu Fang thought that this was a just battle, and the truth was probably the same.

The terrible thing is that the truth in this world is often "the Tao is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high."

Liu Fang began to gather the armed forces in the dock fort, and there was also a torrent of steel rolling in the direction of Leshou City, these people were the most powerful existence in the Su You army, - two thousand heavy cavalry, a total of four thousand war horses, and nearly a thousand auxiliary soldiers behind them.

Attacking the most powerful enemies and crushing them with the most iron-blooded wrists, the remnant will be defeated by fear, which is the most straightforward way to reduce killing.

This time, Su You chose to lead the troops in person, and he wanted to know why Liu Fang dared to go against him.

Su You took more than 4,000 horsemen out of the West Gate in a menacing manner, the sun was warm on their backbones, and the newcomers on the side of the road avoided them one after another, and they were unimpeded all the way.

In just two quarters of an hour, Su You's army was already in place, and Xue Wanche also gathered his army to meet him.

Looking at the dock fort not far away, Su You nodded; -- Because of the war, thieves broke out everywhere, and the powerful people in various places formed villages to raise soldiers, and there were many dock forts.

Liu Fang's dock fort is just one of them, and it is also the largest of them.
