Chapter 60: Gathering the Exiles
Xiao Yi was very satisfied with the training on the first day, and the performance of these recruits was very good, which also made Xiao Yi more confident in the formation and training of the new army in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After a day of training, the recruits all felt sore and exhausted. dragging his heavy steps back into the shack, Liu Zhuang lay down on the collapse, baring his teeth and grinning.
When his squad leader Liu Sheng saw it, he sat down beside him, patted Liu Zhuang, and said with a smile: "You kid, it's only been a day?" ā
Liu Zhuang also smiled when he heard this, "The training method of adults is really peculiar, and the small body is sore." After Liu Zhuang finished speaking, one of the team's recruit spearmen also fell on the collapse weakly, "Tired!" ā
Liu Sheng laughed, "Hahahaha, you guys! Did we know what it was like in the beginning? ā
Liu Zhuang suddenly came to his senses, and asked with a glow in his eyes: "Team officer, I heard that you came from Jingshi with the adults, and you also fought Tartar?" ā
After hearing this, Liu Sheng seemed to have returned to the bloody battle of that day, and he was suddenly full of pride, "Not only me, but all the officers and veterans were all fought out of the Tartars that day." ā
A veteran of the sword card in the team waved the rattan card and said: "Yes, there are many brothers who died there, I still remember the Tartar I killed at that time, that was the happiest time in my life." ā
"Wow!"
The recruits immediately surrounded them, and the veterans had also killed those vicious pigtailed soldiers!
Gather around the veterans and listen to the veterans vividly tell them the stories of the past. Liu Zhuang was so absorbed in hearing that he even forgot the pain in his body. This night, all the recruits and veterans gathered around Liu Sheng's shack, which was very lively, as if they had been tired from a day's training.
The next day, Xiao Yi and Liu Lao went to Changning Town to invite some masonry craftsmen, but they only provided them with breakfast, and they were very grateful to Dade one by one. After negotiating the wages and buying the necessary stones, mud and tiles, the second construction began, and the first thing to be built was the ancestral hall.
The people also helped build the ancestral hall as much as they could, and Xiao Yi and the new soldiers and veterans started another day of training, and the castle was the same as yesterday, no one was idle, and the work was in full swing.
The time slowly came to noon, He Ping led the women to serve a big pot of rice, the craftsmen's eyes were already shining, and Xiao Yi also specially ordered, "Add more food to the craftsmen." ā
When the craftsmen heard this, they were secretly grateful in their hearts, and after eating, they rested for half an hour, and went to do their own work again. But in the distance, there was such a group of people from afar.
I saw that this group of people were all in rags, even the straw sandals they wore were incomplete, and some people walked barefoot on the cold ground. These people are all dull-eyed, and their faces are yellow and thin, which makes people feel heartache when they see it.
A recruit from the Night Harvest squad guarding the city wall saw it and quickly shouted: "My lord, here is a group of people!" ā
After hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately stopped training, took everyone out to check, and greeted such a group of people in front of the fort. Xiao Yi knew at a glance that this was a homeless person.
Shi Lu was also surprised, he was ordered by Xiao Yi to stay in Changning Town that day and did not gain the slightest, no one wanted to come to Yong'an Fort, Shi Lu had no choice but to post a lot of notices along the road, but he didn't expect that people really came.
But Xiao Yi saw the appearance of these people, and regretted in his heart, is this the people of the Ming Dynasty? This is clearly a bunch of Ming beggars! The homeless people are living such a miserable life.
Quickly welcomed the homeless people in, and listened to an old man at the head say that they had seen the notice they had put up outside and had come here after a day's journey.
After settling these displaced people, An Keping went to count the number of household registrations, and finally told Xiao Yi.
There are more than 30 households in total, about 110 people. And unlike before, most of these people are young and strong, only in their thirties, old and weak, and women. Xiao Yi hurriedly asked He Ping to take the women to stew some more porridge to satisfy the hunger of these Baixin, and after these people heard it, they immediately kept kneeling to Xiao Yi and were grateful.
Xiao Yi couldn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't help but be disappointed. The Ming Dynasty was so corrupt that the people lived like this, and those who were officials were still in big fish, it seems that they would have to ask Doctor Qin to recuperate for these people in the future.
Xiao Yi thought of those vassal kings at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and hated it, it was really Zhumen's wine and meat that stinked, and there were frozen bones on the road!
When He Ping made porridge and food, the people immediately flocked to the top, competing for food, "Hey! Slow down, auntie. He Ping watched an old woman snatch a bowl of porridge and pour it into her stomach like drinking water, and couldn't help but remind.
Shi Gang also raised his hands and opened his loud voice: "People, drink less, the porridge is enough, you can't drink too much, you will die of bloating!" ā
After hearing this, the people were a little restrained, but they were also scrambling.
An Keping recorded them one by one, and asked him if he wanted to join the Yong'an Fort military household registration, and the people agreed without hesitation. The time of about two sticks of incense is finally recorded for everyone.
Since the existing shacks were not enough for the new people to live in, Xiao Yi followed Wang Dayong's suggestion to build some land nests for the people to live in. Diwozi was a common mode of living for the northern border people at this time, with simple materials, simple construction and effective protection from the cold and warmth, and Xiao also planned to let the people live there before enough houses were built.
The people and the new recruits and veterans worked together, and finally when the sun was slowly setting, the nest was built. The people were all sitting in the nest of the ground, listening to the people before here tell about the policies that Xiao Yi had told them before, and they were all amazed.
If this is the case, you can stay here for a long time.
That night, Xiao Yi looked at the moonlit and starry sky. Sighing again, I went to Changning Town today to find out that the latest situation came a few days ago.
After the defeat of Houjin, Sun Chengzong was appointed as a cabinet scholar and concurrently served as the governor of Jiliao. Sun Chengzong first knew the righteousness and calmed the morale of the Liaodong Army. After that, he coordinated the armies of the various Qinwang and acted jointly, and after a month of hard fighting, he was gradually recovering the city that had been invaded by the Houjin.
Emperor Chongzhen also issued an edict a few days ago, deposing Li Biao, a former cabinet scholar, and dismissing Liu Ce from his post as the chief soldier of Daankou and arresting him to enter Beijing.
Chongzhen also ordered Xu Guangqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to sacrifice the chief soldier Man Gui outside the Guangqu Gate who died in battle, and posthumously presented his young master.
He also deposed a group of generals and relevant civil servants who were unfavorable in battle and did not dare to confront the Houjin army. caused the court to shake, even the civil and military generals who were not punished were panicked, and this was also a great purge of the Ming Dynasty.
