Chapter 366: Wealth and Violence
Soon after returning to the mansion, Xiao Yi received information from Gao Shan, according to Gao Shan, this civil official Jiao En came out of Wang Bao's mansion angrily, and scolded something as he walked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiao Yi smiled when he heard it, it seems that Wang Bao's words are very dissatisfied with the people's strong officials, no matter what Wang Bao said, in short, what makes the civil officials dissatisfied is what makes Xiao Yi happy.
Of course, Xiao Yi was satisfied and at the same time, he also had to give some benefits to Na Wang.
So Xiao Yi ordered someone to go to Wang Bao's mansion that night, naturally he couldn't go empty-handed, Xiao Yi, who knew what Wang Bao liked, asked the soldier to go with a transparent jasper pearl.
Although it is not as precious as the priceless night pearl, it is not an ordinary item that can be bought for more than a thousand taels of silver, and it is also green and shiny.
According to the report of the soldier who came back, Wang Bao couldn't put it down after seeing it, and even asked the soldier to tell Xiao Yi a word, which specifically meant that he didn't care what Xiao Yi did in the town, as long as he didn't make too much noise.
Xiao Yi only sneered at this, as long as this Wang Bao cooperated, as for the movement, it was naturally impossible to be small, and his time was not much, and it was not enough to deal with these people slowly.
According to the development of history, in the second year after the Battle of the Great Ling River, that is, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Houjin found the right time to start a war with Lin Dan Khan, this time it was a complete conquest of the Mongol tribes in southern Mo, and Lin Dan Khan was defeated one after another.
He died of a serious illness soon after, and then his son Ezhe inherited the throne, but Ezhe did not have the eloquence of Lin Dan Khan, and he could not restrain the various departments at all.
Ezhe was terrified, and led the tribal lords to present the jade seal and the imperial Taiji with both hands, and as a result, Mongolia was completely subordinated to the Houjin, and the northern domain of the Ming court was lost.
However, although Xiao Yi knows this, he is also powerless, Xiao Yi's strength is not enough to take care of it at all, and Xiao Yi needs to take precautions only because Chongzhen will enter the border battle five years later.
This time Azig led the army to defeat the Mongols and made great achievements, and will take advantage of the situation to go south to besiege Xuan and Daer Town, and erode all parts of Gyeonggi.
Therefore, Xiao Yi needs to train a real 10,000-strong army before Azig goes south, and truly take Datong Town into his own hands, so that it is possible to defeat Azig again.
While thinking, Xiao Yi looked through various documents and thought of how to deal with it, and did not fall asleep until late at night.
For the rest of the day, Xiao Yi really didn't make any more moves, and the soldiers of the Yongan Army did not leave the barracks except for patrolling the streets, changing guards, and sentry cavalry as usual.
At the beginning, there were still many ruffians who did not believe in evil, and they were still robbing and harassing people on the street, and the Yongan soldiers who patrolled the streets saw that they were all violently beaten and arrested in the prison.
The Yong'an Army punished a group of ruffians who made a lot of rebellion without mercy, which also made the people much more stable, coupled with the orders and prohibitions of the soldiers of the Yong'an Army, they never disturbed the news, and the fear of the Yong'an Army was decreasing day by day.
This bloody lesson also made those with bad intentions dare not make trouble on the surface, but it is unknown what they are secretly thinking.
In this way, it was slowed to the middle of October of the fourth year of Chongzhen, and on this day, the soldiers and civilians in the city found that there was an army in bright armor outside the city.
Although this army is under the banner of the Yong'an Army, at a glance, the armor is not the same as the Yong'an Army, and it is also moving forward neatly with strict orders.
Liu Sheng and Zhou Ding rode forward while talking and laughing, and after arriving at the foot of the town, Zhou Ding glanced at the soldiers in the city in surprise.
I don't know when, the original lazy local officers and soldiers have been replaced by energetic Yongan sergeants.
Although they all knew each other, the commander of the Yong'an Army guarding the city still let Zhou Ding and Liu Sheng show their waist cards before letting the Zhenwei camp enter the city.
After receiving the report from the sentry chief at the south gate, Xiao Yi was overjoyed and immediately summoned several people from Huangyang out of the city to greet him.
"Xianggong!"
However, as soon as he walked out of the small gate of the urn city, Xiao Yi heard such a cry with surprise, and looked forward in shock.
Seeing that Huang E, who was holding Ding'er, came with the army, he didn't care about greeting Zhou Ding, Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to take Ding'er from Huang E's hands, and the little fat man slept soundly.
Xiao Yi hugged Ding'er with his left hand, and also hugged Huang E with his right hand, and said intentionally angrily: "Sister E, why are you here, didn't you let you take Ding'er to stay in Ulzhou, this is not as safe as Ulzhou, what should you let me do if something happens?" ā
How could Huang E not see that Xiao Yi was deliberately angry, hugged Xiao Yi and said: "Xianggong, I also know these truths, but... But I just want to see you... The soldiers under the Xianggong can also protect our mother and son. ā
"Well, but..."
Sighing, Xiao Yi couldn't get angry at all when he saw Huang E's appearance, and stroked Huang E's slightly messy green silk with his big hand, and said lovingly: "You, don't do this in the future." ā
Snuggling on Xiao Yi's shoulder, Huang E greedily absorbed the familiar breath on Xiao Yi's body, and kept nodding her head.
Seeing that Xiao Yi, who has always been a military order and is like a god of war during the war, actually has such iron-clad tenderness, Zhou Ding clapped his hands and smiled.
"Only a woman like Madame who is different from mortal dust can match a peerless hero like Junmen, if the lower official is a woman, I am afraid that she would have already thrown herself into her arms!"
Xiao Yi laughed a few times, and Huang Yang behind him followed with a smile: "If you are a woman, the general doesn't have to be you!" ā
"Haha."
Zhou Ding didn't feel embarrassed at all, and walked towards the city with Xiao Yi and others, while reporting to Xiao Yi about the number of people who came, military rations and other matters.
Sitting at the top of the lobby of the town town, Xiao Yi thought intently.
According to what Zhou Ding said, in addition to the more than 1,000 soldiers of the third battalion of Zhenwei brought by Zhou Ding, there were more than 6,000 stones of military rations, more than 10,000 sets of iron armor and military uniforms, and the rest of the tiger guns, stainless steel knives, big shields and bird guns were also very sufficient.
Even Xiao Yi himself was taken aback by this number, and he didn't expect that Ulzhou had accumulated so many materials, and according to what Zhou Ding said, not all of them were brought this time.
It may also be that the erosion of Datong Town made Xiao also ignore how huge the wealth accumulated by the joint efforts of the military and the people under Jingping in Ulzhou was.
The Yong'an Army has only expanded its recruitment once for a long time, but the workshop and Tuntian are uninterrupted day by day, coupled with Xiao Yi's policy, more work is rewarded and there is enough food, and craftsmen from all over the country are often competing to fight.
For a long time, all kinds of ordnance, armor and rice millet in the warehouses in Ulzhou, Yong'an Fort, Changning Town, Taohuabao and other places have long been piled up, and now so many have been shipped out to alleviate the urgency of coal burning in the warehouses, which is also an unexpected joy.
With this batch of ordnance, grain and grass materials, plus more than 1,000 Zhenwei battalion soldiers, Xiao Yi can finally let go of his hands and feet and work hard in this town.
So on the third day after the arrival of this batch of materials, a pacesetter galloped into Li Erniu's mansion in Ulzhou City, informed Li Erniu, and made preparations before the expansion.
For this expansion, Xiao Yi had read enough documents in advance, and he was still preparing to use the method of the last time, not to recruit new soldiers, but to directly select from the large number of local defenders in Ulzhou, who were already veterans.
Li Erniu, the garrison of Ulzhou, did not hesitate after receiving the military order, and immediately sent a document to Zhao Dahe, the defense officer of Taohua Fort, Chen Hao, the defense officer of Changning Town, Liu Shiren, the defense officer of Yong'an Fort, and the local local officials such as Jiazheng and Tunbao Lichang in various parts of Ulzhou.
What Li Erniu needs to do, on the one hand, is to conduct an examination and settlement of combat merits in the first and second battalions of Zhenwei, so as to select the elite to be selected for the Yongan Army, and they will serve as the most basic commanders of each army.
In addition, some of the garrison soldiers from all over Ulju are also qualified, and these people will be recommended by local officials to travel to the state city for examination and settlement, and then decide whether to be incorporated into the Yongan Army or the Zhenwei Battalion.
For example, after Xiao Yi left office, his successor Liu Shiren trained Ma Bu Sergeant in strict accordance with the same method as Xiao Yi, so as to defend the territory of Yong'an Fort, or he could also go out to suppress bandits, which is still a small scale of several thousand.
In addition to the final settlement of battle damage, which needs to be reported to Xiao Yi, Liu Shiren can actually handle these small matters by himself, and there is no need to tell Xiao Yi at all, which is also Xiao Yi's full trust in them and give them the maximum rights.
Although these local garrisons belonged to the establishment of the Yong'an Army, they had always belonged to the foreign army, and they were not even counted as the Zhenwei Battalion.
If this goes on for a long time, it will be difficult for the garrison sergeants to be promoted no matter how hard they try, and it will inevitably chill the enthusiasm of these garrison sergeants.
Therefore, every time the Yong'an Army and the Zhenwei Battalion recruit these local garrisons, such as the soldiers of Yong'an Fort.
After the Yong'an Army was carefully selected, Liu Shiren, the defense officer of Yong'an Fort, submitted the application form to Ulzhou City, and the unified examination was conducted in Ulzhou City to decide whether to be selected as a regular soldier of the Yong'an Army, or as an auxiliary soldier of the Zhenwei Battalion, or as a baggage battalion.
The rest of the tunpu is like this, almost all of these soldiers have rich experience before entering the army, and what is lacking is only unified deployment and drills, so that they can quickly become an army, skipping the steps of training new soldiers.
